Battery Life :)

[eck74]

So yesterday morning I was pretty upset with my battery life. I got about 4 hours with light to moderate use and it was 15%. Cellcom Hero 1.5 no root.

So I did some googling to find more battery tips and changed a bunch of settings. As of right now 1:04CST I have 75% life, up time is 13:54 and awake time is 1:10 (9%). I have never had anything close to this for battery life.

THE PROBLEM: I have no idea what I all changed. Everything seems to work still just the way it was before (except always updating Weather).

Is what I am getting now normal for any of you?

damn, thats good. Its pretty much been asleep since the last time you rebooted the phone. Its probably not updating anything regularly. Like Mail if you have an account other than Gmail, then its not pulling for it. If you only have gmail, google pings the phone automatically when a message is received on their servers, so your phone isn't checking... therefore its not wasting battery.

As for mail I have my outlook email receiving as they arrive, and yahoo and gmail every 1/2 hour.

I am pretty sure twitter, facebook and weather only update when I tell it to.

I was so frustrated with this things lack of battery life. I could never get through 12 hours on a single charge. Now I have not used wifi or gps today, but I normally only use wifi at home at night for an hour or two. As for gps it is used very sparingly anyway.

Hey, for my battery use I have 49% on Cell Standby, 43% on Phone Idle, and 8% on display. What's Cell Standby?

After 2.1 stock update I can charge just once a day, I had to charge 2-3 times daily with 1.5 stock.
