What automated solutions are there to test my phone's battery life?
How does AnTuTu Tester for battery life work? Do I have to manually close every program and set various settings like WiFi and GPS or does the program do it?
I want to compare the battery life of two batteries accurately.
Thanks.

ive had my xv6800 for about two weeks now and im still trying to get my power settings tweaked right. granted, i ahve been playing with it alot and probably doing some things that arent conducive to long battery life. One problem is that i dont really know what to expect, so if everyone could please post what they do, any tips/tricks to increase the battery life that get out of it.
also if anyone does think they get good battery life out of theres, what they try to avoid doing on it, that gives you such good life.
thanks

The brightness of the screen is a factor. Try lowering it if possible.
Disable active sync, bluetooth, wifi, and beam when not needed.
Using the GPS drains the battery quick. ( results vary )
Push email also assists with battery drain.
Put your phone on standby when not in use.
Also the extensive use of PIE and Windows Media Player also assists with the drain of battery.
Last if you have poor signal strength this can also be a factor for battery drainage.
There are others out there but these are some that I encountered and learned live with.
There is a battery hack out there that can help you with your battery life. I don't know from the top of my head but search for a registry battery hack.

I think [email protected]$ hit the nail on the head. Everythng stated is a sure fire way to drain your battery quicker. I just got my Mogul and have been playing with it quite a bit even though its pretty much the same thing as my Apache but none the less all those things will drain your battery. I have this thing going on 2 days with very little battery left with minimal use of phone options.
I had previously not had data, so i kept BT always on, never went past 80% with texting and using some programs throughout the day. Now with data, for the last 2 days, wow, down to 20% both days. I turned off BT to see if that can save a little and will turn down the screen a little (was on 100%).
I have flashed over 5 roms now and the biggest problem i'm seeing is that the battery drains really fast on the wm 6.5 roms. I was wondering if there is a way to prevent this problem or a way that can help reduce this problem?? Thank you!
I think battery drain is relative to user's opinion. Some might say 2 days of battery life is not enough, and some other might say one full day battery life is normal.
There are many ways to minimize battery consumption. Minimal battery consumption means longer battery life. You may try WMLongLife (adds little bit more battery life, in my device). There's also a thread about battery life tips floating in this forum. I forgot who wrote it. It's a very well-written thread. You may search for it.
Hey guys,
I am looking to buy an extended battery for my atrix cause it can't last one day. What is the best extended battery? I want one that is reliable and lasts a long time, physical size doesn't matter.
Thx in advance guys
P.s. the atrix community is the best!!!
There are lots of things you can do to improve battery life.
You can set up voltage profiles and run battery calibrations. You could also flash a custom ROM that has good battery performance. I recommend Neutrino EE

i and a friends in other forum give some configs for the battery extend life, we like to use tasker and setCPU to configures some tasks for toggle 2G and kill some apps and set CPU for underclock when smartphone turn off screen .... i won 2 days and some 10 hours for example with this configuration and with radio european and rom morrisoft v0.9
The biggest drain on your battery is Screen On time. I recommend you tweak your levels and see if it betters your battery life before you spend your hard earned money.

ok, I understand there are things I can do to make my battery last longer (I have tried a lot of the tips you guys have posted). I want to spend my money on a bigger battery and I wanted advice one which extended battery is the best, not how to make my current battery last longer.
Please keep the posts relevant to what I am asking for
sorry, going to have to jump on the improved battery life bandwagon.
if you're willing to post your battery usage graph that shows wifi/gps/awake/screen on/charging, we could make some informed recommendations...

I don't know how to do that. If you explain to me how to do that I will, but I still want advice on what extended battery is the best and if there are cases that will fit with it in.
I am still waiting on some advice.
Plenty of focus on all ROMs have been performance and battery life has not been so good. Request a ROM that focuses on battery life, for those that are away from a charger during a 14 hr. work day.

Have you thought about purchasing an extended battery ?
Or
Simply limit your processor, brightness, radio connectivity, and use am android firewall to limit which apps can and can't use data/WiFi. Also ensure you have good settings in your task manager

I get 2-3 days out of my 2400mAh-battery, using MIUI and the forbidden kernel.
I can't complain at all about battery life.
Everything runs silky smooth at 192/1180mHz - xondemand
A little undervolting and a little gpu underclock.
I think poor battery life is more "user error" than something to call dev attention for.
There are plenty of guides on how to maximize battery life on the web and on xda.
2 tips from me, because many guides get it wrong or fail to mention:
- This app lets you schedule autosync. With some care and thought when setting it up, you can be always up to date without your phone snycing all the time. If you need to be in second-precise sync-though, it's not for you.
- Wifi off @ screen off is a myth. I have set my wifi to be on all time for months now and haven't noticed any decrease in battery life. If anything, it's better now.
I use mwakious, forbidden kernel at 1512 mhz and an anker 1900mah battery and get about 19-24 hours no problem
Try using Juice Defender too
I've also noticed keeping wifi connected all day is drastically less harsh on the battery than 3g.
I get awesome battery life with mentioned banned kernel and meanrom. I just switched to another rom and not sure about battery life there yet or i'd share
Hi, my phone's battery life is bad, could someone tell me some battery tweaks? I always have brightness on lowest, location services off and more.. But still bad battery life
The best battery tweak is an additional battery. Thank goodness our phones have replaceable batteries.
