Battery after GB Update

[jerseyboy357]

yes that is what it says

hes telling you discharging means that the battery is being used, aka drained by usage like any battery operated device. Cool thing is you can recharge it!

Ahhhh i c. ya the battery still sux. its been off the charger since around 11am (9 hr 30m 15s) and i am now down to 35%.

UGH how can i get it to last me my 12-14 hours like it did b4 the update

It all about usage, whats running in the background(widgets, wallpapers, etc) and overall battery health. You could always go for an extended battery too. Theres a few options on that front.

You dont have to get rid of anything if you dont want to. Check your PM inbox.

the extended battery makes the phone so much more bigger

 

[jerseyboy357]

Yes it will a bit but not as much as you think. Heres a link to some pics I posted in another thread for comparison. I dont mind it at all, makes the phone a bit beefier, lasts longer and its just different.

I've actually had the opposite happen for me. My battery seems like its doing a lot better since the gb update. By the end of the night im usually at 30-40% still.

Before the update, I used Juice Defender to get a day out of a charge. After the update, I had to restore, didn't turn on Defender, and my battery life was incredible. Don't know if it was the update or the wipe though.

I .sbf'd back to froyo then rooted and installed the 2 part .596 GB and my battery life has improved.

Today for example with moderate usage I'm at 13h, 27m, 0s on battery and still at 40% life.

Switching to GB was definitely an improvement for my battery life.

I feel the same way. Battery performance had been amazing since Gingerbread was released. I easily get 12-15+ hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use throughout the day, usually with a little more to spare.
