Battery - Reason to Root

[ragnarokx]

Sorry...I just don't know if I can believe that. I have actually let my phone sit an entire day untouched, bathed in the awesome signal from my Airave, and when, after about 18 hours, I hit the power button to check email, the battery was down to the mid-20s. I've tried every method described to manage power consumption, turned off all sorts of syncing and notification. I rarely turn on wifi and only use bluetooth in my car. My NoLED dismisses after 15 minutes and with proximity sensor activation. I even tried JuiceDefender. The best day my phone ever had was the day I described above, and I ended up plugging it in soon after so it would be fully charged when I woke up.

Having WiFi on (with a connection of course) actually saves battery, so use it when you can.

No not at all. I make so much money that I just have a hundred dollar a month bill so that I can leave my phone on display in the driver's seat of my Viper.

We would all appreciate it if you dropped the attitude.

I just ordered my Nexus S 4G. I would like to know what do I need to do to make the battery better? Anything that is SIMPLE but works good.

Root and under-clock your phone. I get tremendous battery life now.

I can get 18 sometimes more,first thing make sure NFC is not on the whole time and i don't use auto brightness. Other then that i have wifi on almost 90% of the time and every gapp you could think of i use gvoice about a million times a day and gtalk.

I'm using GPA17 and right now i'm at 1 day 2h 37m 28s on battery. And I have 33% left.

I'm on GPA17, underclocked to 800 and 'Powersave'. I use voice pretty heavily. I'm glad I get (mostly) through an entire day...my EVO never did.

Medium call use (~2.5 hours), and a bit of YouTube at the end to pop up the Display %...

It's probably due to crappy setups and/or using them as a replacement for every entertainment device under the sun.

I bought my smart phone because it has so much functionality. If I just wanted something to sit around idle until someone called me, I'd have a dumb phone.

Screen on = battery drain. No way around it. That's what spare batteries are for.
