Don't talk without knowing what you're saying. As desperate as he is, making a joke would lead to him taking it seriously.
Anyway, calibrate your battery by CWM or just let your phone charge to 100% full. When it SAYS 100%, it doesn't mean it. Leave it charging for about 1 more hour after it says 100%.
Dont be too serious man...
hmm.. that strange.. i'm using infinity v2 by nims11 but doesn't face such problem.
tried using battery calibration didn't work and potentially made it worst, how do i do it in cwm because i read that's the proper way of doing it

Infinity is based on cm7 roms. Cm7 is a battery sucker. U can try SGSII by robinandroid. It is based on stock, but gud battery life.

To properly calibrate battery you should do a long and accurate procedure. See this.

Can apply this to ace?
trying that method tonight.. wish it would help extend my battery power much further than 1 1/2 day..
The information is really screwed up. First my phone was just sitting there overnight at 90 % woke up and now it was about 50%. Phone was down to 17% plugged it in to charge it jumped to 60%. This is really infuriating and i cant even get a hour on moderate usage. Tried calibration didnt help or did something wrong i really dont know i give up

Battery percentage isn't that accurate. You need to see how long it actually lasts, mine goes down to 80 % in the first 1/2 hr of 3g use then stays there for a while, but in the end i can have it last for 17 hrs with pretty high usage. Try and see! And remember battery is fully charged when in settings/info/ status is displayed "charged"
Sent from my Galaxy Ace on Ice Cream Sunday Final
mine only get 8-10hrs normal usage. go down to 80% fast, slower down to 40%, and 20%, but much much slower down from 15% to 5%.
touchdown sync every 4 hrs, internet browsing, whatsapp, twitter.
on the battery use, its always cell standby, phone idle, and display take top three.
you can save the battery for about 24hrs when you use 2G only. with 3G, i don't think so. (I haven't tried this tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436367 ).
Try charge to full 100% with the phone on...about - status say full
Power off, enter cwm recovery not while phone on enter cwm manager, use the home+power button method
Wipe battery stats, power on the phone (usually battery now 95-97%) then charge it to full 100% again...unplug n enjoy
I get 17 hour with this method with heavy usage...

doesn't work for my ACE.
when phone ON, I charge it until 100%. then I turn off the phone, and keep charge it until it say FULLY CHARGE. go to CWM, and wipe battery status.
my ACE's battery still run for 8-10hrs only.
or may be my battery need to be replaced with the new one...
You don't have to wipe battery stats every time... after deleting them you have to do some full charge/full discharge cycles. If you don't do this the calibration won't be useful.

If your going to answer me with "You retard its only been out a day" or something like that then dont answer cause i dont need your opinion -_-...
Now if u flashed KA6 and dont mind sharing your opinion with me about your battery life on it so far.... Plsz go aheas =D
Is it better then KA5? Lol
"You retard its only been out a day"
lol jk
no one can really give you an honest statement.
It's been out a day, and a rom/phone usually needs to take 24 hours, or more to settle in and start acting normal, then if you check it should be good...
but SO FAR, my battery life's the same as KA5, excellent.
but depends on what rom your using, with NERO, i had a bit lower battery than usual(probably just me) then with Axura, incredible life.

Any of jellette's latest roms have extraordinary battery life. I'm currently running M10 and after getting up at 430 this morning, now 715 pm, still at 51%.
Sent from my nuclear powered submarine.
It's the best i've seen so far, after about 24 hours of moderate use: wifi, about 30 minutes of calling, about 30 minutes navigation, few downloads and install, i even watched an episode of the daily show, the battery is still at 50%
I think it's the best i've seen so far, but then again, I was on JFD then JI6 up until a couple of weeks ago.
Battery life has improved to nearly double what I would normally get on 2.1 , rooted & stock

interesting...my battery life has essentially been halved coming from rooted, stock JI6 (minus most bloat). if i unplug this thing at 5:50 am and listen to music (with the screen off) for 45 minutes while working out, and syncing email once an hour, the battery is at 30% by 10:30am. before the update it'd be at 80% to 85%.
any suggestions? It's getting pretty unusable honestly, especially being the owner of a nexus s as well...
just wanted to post an update that i finally got up the nerve to install modified 3e recovery which in turn let me get (and keep) Clockwork mod recovery, where i flashed the new K1B modem and wiped the battery stats.
Im conditioning the battery by letting it drain down and will charge it to full again, but so far I'm happy to report that battery life is now excellent for a vibrant.
went through heavy use today of 3g, streaming, gps, and 2.5 hours in phone calls and im at 18 percent currently (been off the charger for 13+ hours).
Very acceptable for how i use my phone. before this change it was hemorraging power and needed to be recharged twice in the same day ( mid morning and again when i got home). I'm happy with my phone again!
P.S. KB1 modem is a beast, i hit 6.1mbs down, and gps accurate to 9 meters, and under power usuage cell standby only accounted for 4% of power where as it was 20ish% before. holy crap

Use anycut to make a shortcut of lbstestmode on your home screen then click "get position test". It will then display how many satellites there are in the sky and how many you've locked onto
Btw "locked on" means that your phone can see a satellite and it can see you basically. Your phone connects to many different satellites and the more it locks onto, the more accurate your location. Hope this helps

No problem, all this does for you is makes your battery readings more accurate.
also, for most doing that once won't give you TOO real effect.
So after you do that, redo it once more, when you have time, and it should be good.
Flashing roms at 100% usually works best from beginning.

Obviously it all depends on what you've done while the screen was turned on but it'd be an interesting statistic.
Overall battery:
26hrs on stock rom 1.8.3
16hrs on gingerblur 3.1
Both with more than 3:30hrs of display on
About 24hrs on battery with 4hr15min with the display on. I think I have a screenshot on FB, lol.
I might be on to something here then..
Am using GladiAtrix 3 b0.2, before I installed it I did a battery stats reset through CWM
(advise from KennethPenn, dev of Gingerblur):
"""- Reset battery in CWM (under Advanced)
- Drain your battery to 0 percent and let it turn the phone off, then charge it back up to 100%."""
On my phone are more than 120 apps installed. Battery Manager is on "Maximum ".
The result is fairly amazing; the display time of almost 7 hrs is under heavy use; wlan & sync constantly on, Xscope & XDA app non-stop checking, market downloads, etc!! I have never had such good battery!
I advise everyone to do the above, it really helps.

That's right, only 2g unless I need 3g for data. I'm always around a wifi though.
No task manager, android 2.2 does all that automatically.
Not sure battery manager is so aggressive, I think it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes.

6hrs is my personal best, straight stock phone.
I've just put mine on charge, prob got about 40-50 hours, mostly standby. Seems a lot but I just unpacked my charger from going away for the weekend.
Prob about 4 hours talk time, prob 3 hours web. No GPS, no wifi.
Strange thing is, the battery thing said '5 hours since unplugged' which is definately not the case, is this a known issue? 5 hours since I rebooted it maybe.
when you reboot - the time since unplugged counter is reset.

a little off topic but howd you get that 1% battery mod and not the ugly circle, this looks kinda nice sitting at 33%, can one get that without gingerblur , stock plus root would do?
on topic, i get about 2 days on a medium usage on my battery , 1.5 days on heavy, i dont think i could use another phone after getting this much battery life, i just wonder what gingerbread would do to this phone
5 1/2 hours, with 3G turned on. Although the last 45 minutes of that it was just sitting at the launcher, I was waiting for the battery to die on it. I usually average 2-3 hours, but when I charge my phone I usually still have about 50% left.
Seeing as I rarely use data, I may have to try that 2G trick. Maybe I could charge it every other day instead of each night.
My best "Screen On" time is close to 4.5 hrs running Greyblur. For those just posting "time since unplugged"..screen on time is a much better indicator for battery life imo because it means actual use. The phone sitting idle in your pocket or on your table for 48 hrs is misleading to some people because then they wonder why they're only getting 12hrs with 5hrs of actual "useage" (screen on time).
For my style of use..battery saver modes and apps don't do me any favors because then I miss out on my IM's which I rely on for most of my communication. And unfortunately 2G isn't an option any more for most of us Canadian users..as 2G has been pretty much phased out.

Use your ace until the battery getting low, then wipe battery stats, and use your ace until it turns off by its self. Finally, charge your phone (power off) 'til full. Do it twice.

Then try flashing stock rom. If the problem still persist, I guess there's something wrong with the battery. Buy a new battery, or if you're not sure just bring your ace to Samsung Service Centre and let them see the problem.

Ok. I will try stock rom but i dont think so
Hi all, after a lots of pots from a lots of users claiming their battery is great or their battery is ok and even that their battery is a crap... I decided to open this thread to share my opinion with you all and see how many of you think like me.
Here it comes:
For me, BATTERY LIFE is how GOOD-OK-BAD our battery behaves and how much it lasts WHILE USING THE PHONE.
Having looooong periods of deep sleep is just the Stand-By 640hrs that Samsung itself offers with its ACE.
Under heavy use, ACE is supposed to last at least 11hrs using 2g and 6hrs using 3g.
Me just quoting Samsung and GSM ARENA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you do the math, most of the people that claim to have a HUGE battery life have their phones on DEEP SLEEP (Stand By) MOST OF THE TIME, plus they don't use 3g but WI-FI.
So, when they say: HEY BRO, I unplugged my phone 1 day ago and my battery is still at 30% and then they put a graphic on it you can see that about 20 hours the phone have been deep sleeping. Then you use it and PUFFF!!! A huge percent down...
I don't know if you know what I mean, english is not my first languaje... But what I'm trying to say is...
Battery life is most of the times the same WHEN USING THE PHONE!
Dude stop worrying too much abt battery... Simple battery rule. Charge it when its less than 20%... Let it drain by its own.. Then charge again... There s something called life explore it...
WOW!! What a superb reply... Great, wonderful, splendid...
You're so wise... OMG I can't even believe you took time to reply my request... Thank you Oh Lord!!!
Sigh!
My battery drains so fast on my home wi-fi I tend to browse whilst charging for most of the time (I'm sure it's not recommended). Wish I knew where people get the improved stats for wi-fi over 2g/3g from.
Of course samsung is gonna claim great battery life, they have to sell.
On my experience, i use the phone constantly with 3g for whatsapp and music all the time. I still charge it every night and thats ok. Its a smartphone, a micro computer. Unplugg your lap top and see how long it lasts! If you cannot get a day of battery, youre using your phone too much. The biggest battery hog is your screen, turn it off when not using, lower brightness, dont use 3g and 2g at the same time. Otherwise, get a stupidphone and marvel at your 5 day battery life.

My battery drains so fast on my home wi-fi I tend to browse whilst charging for most of the time (I'm sure it's not recommended). Wish I knew where people get the improved stats for wi-fi over 2g/3g from.

The point about WiFi/3G/2G and battery stats is that if the phone isn't having to work hard to get its connection then it won't drain so much battery. So for example, I have almost no 3G coverage and no WiFi hotspot for miles, urgo if I have them both on the phone will search hard for them and drain battery. I have only 2G allowed and that works for me.
Technically if I had a WI-FI hotspot I should use that because it should provide better coverage than either 2G or 3G, and so the phone won't have to work so hard to get connectivity.
How strong is the signal for your WI-FI, is it very changeable?
I sit about 2m below it and it locks in seconds, varies between 2 and 3 bars on indication. Perceived drain is battery falls from 100% to charge warning in 3 - 4hrs approx.

Data switches off automatically when you are connected to the internet thru wi-fi!
my ace drains battery fastest when i play games,when playing any game 10-15 minutes my battery drains for like 10%
i have good battery life ,,about 36hours when using wifi
the problem of my battery life only happens when the phone is on. I've tried turning it off for a few days and the battery held up too long. So my advice for the battery last long, its always keep the phone off, and use it to shoot on someone's head (devs?). You may even withdraw the battery, lasts longer without recharging.
I suggest that someone makes a rom that doesnt work and keep the phone off, and we will have long battery life

What you just said defies the actual purpose for which the phones were built.

You do know what sarcasm is, right?
Battery on Ace just sucks. It's that simple. If you can't accept that, then it's time to get a newer phone.

Battery on ace sucks. Everyone knows that. But it is pointless keeping it off. If you're free, make use of it ! And BTW, even a boot drains its battery such an ill fate.

I knew. But someone seemed to be really worried

In my case, I've had the best battery life duration with StockRom Lite, AceOne (this seems to fly in my phone).
The AceOne rom seems to "survive" between 16- 18 hours in my chase listening music, checking some emails with 3G (not 16 hours, time by time).
I've installed a rom made by Nathan (TouchWiz) and I was worried about the battery's duration, but since I've installed nims kernel it works better, I'm gonna view how it works
