I've had Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.1 RLS16 on my Vogue for a while, and there's been times when my phone battery died out quickly when I really needed to use it the most. My phone seems to use up a lot of battery while it's sleeping too, so I don't know what the problem is. I barely have any widgets installed, but I do leave my phone in my pocket a lot. Are there any methods I can try out that will boost battery life even just a little bit?
turn off background data, auto-sync and GPS.
This way my touch's battery seems similar to WM 6.5.
GPS especially. Also, if you are using a task killer, uninstall it. I also uninstalled the battery meter that came with superfroyo, it is to inexact. The default android one seems more accurate.
Getting rid of a task manager? Don't they free up memory and kill unneeded processes?

No. They spend resources shutting things down that Android then re-opens. Read more here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6426198
Android is not WinMo. And from personal experience, uninstalling Advanced Task Killer was the single best thing I ever did for increasing battery life and making Froyo run faster. Just try it for a week and you'll see.
The best way to boost battery life, imho, is to not use the phone to charge your battery.
I've recently gotten my hands on HTC ELF0160 battery charger and used it to charge my battery. After using this particular charger my STANDARD (stock) battery is now reading ...
78% after 8 hours and 16 minutes on battery
57% on Display
28% on Standby
15% on Phone Idle
2% on Voice Calls
As you can see its been pretty idle. All I've been running is Google Talk 1.3 and Facebook, and the random admiration of the new found battery life.
Note I'm using scoots latest rom, without any modifications other than installing a couple of apps.
So if you could get an external charger I'd suspect you'd get much better battery life. Prior to this I'd be lucky to get 8 hours of battery. I suspect that the phone isn't fully charging the battery for whatever reason.
Regards,
EDIT...
After 21 hours my readings are
47% display
33% standby
18% idle
4% voice calls
Again my usage I'd categorize as very low. Currently my battery level is reading 27%. note this is the same battery as above, the standard 1100 mah one.

The vogue battery works with an Elf charger? Thought they weren't compatible.
That's what the charger is called. I have a couple at work that I'm using. My batteries have yet to explode.
Sent from my HTC Kaiser/Vogue using XDA App
I installed a scanning app. When I realized this app was using 10% battery, I froze the app using TB. After freezing and re-booting, I still saw a 9% drain. It was not until I removed the app did it disappear from the battery usage page. Does the battery usage page show real time battery usage? Just trying to understand the 9% battery drain from a frozen app.
The 9% you saw might be what the app used before being frozen. The battery usage is reset when you charge your phone fully. After that, the app shouldn't show up in the battery usage.
I'm having trouble diagnosing battery drain. My stock battery app says Touchdown is staying awake for six plus hours an accounts for more than 20% of battery drain, but the gsam app registers Touchdown as barely having an impact on battery drain.
Even when I force touchdown to quit, the cpu usage continues to tick. Is this just the stock battery app malfunctioning, or is touchdown really the culprit?
Photos attached.
So my battery has been draining at an alarming rate lately, up to 20% an hour, even with the screen off. The only new app I've installed lately (besides BBS once the issue started) was the leaked Google Nexus Launcher a week or two ago. Has anyone else who installed it seen a change in their battery life? Or perhaps some other app that got updated recently and has been killing their battery too?
In settings - battery you can see what's draining the battery.
What is normal battery span (in hours) for brand new Huawei P10?
I've downloaded GSam Battery Monitor and it says that my Battery Life is 12h 6m and Screen On Time 6h 41m.
Is this normal for BRAND NEW P10 or not?
+ on that app it says Screen (39%) and App usage (41%) are using most of the power.
I'm using mostly Messenger, YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp and playing Score Hero.
Battery is good but I don't know is this normal sot (down below on the picture) or not.
