Been a long time since I've had to use that one.
+1 love Jack Bauer
I miss Jack...thanks to Netflix, we watched from Season one in order. Made a whole lot more sense that way. So far Touch is interesting, have to see where it goes.
Day one of tweaked power usage stats. This is a chart of calculated battery usage per minute (mAh/min) for the phone minus screen power, just the screen itself, and the phone as a whole. The screen calculation was calculated only using screen on time, while phone minus screen and combined was calculated using the entire time off of charger. I'm trying to isolate the screen power usage to see how it is affected by the custom brightness settings. I'll do a few days worth of this on the revised settings I made and then a few days on the stock settings and compare the two. Hopefully I'll see a difference of a couple of mAh/min for screen power usage per minute.
As you can see, the screen itself uses up around 8 mAh/min while just the phone uses around 1.5 mAh/min. Combined, which is the most useful stat, is up around 3 mAh/min which translates to 11.6 hours typical usage per charge.
Great advice, Early. But I also had to laugh out loud. What are the odds I come back, and within my first 100 posts we need a PSA.
Sorry guys.
Would absolutely love to see results of this test and some tweaks we can do to increase battery life.
I know you take pride in opening those cans of worms Han, but I'm afraid I'm the one to blame for this one...actually the 2nd PSA directed at me since becoming really active in October. Apparently I just can't get along with anyone
Just not understanding - how is combined lower than just screen?
Mind expanding a bit? Would absolutely love to see results of this test and some tweaks we can do to increase battery life.
The screen calculation was calculated only using screen on time, while phone minus screen and combined data were calculated using the entire time off of charger.
Nah, you just have the same problem I do. You think something and so you say it, lol.
But there's hope for us yet! BB made it to guide status. She must have had her filter cleaned out.
Me too. Running Patient Zero version 15. Many speed tweaks and other bells and whistles, but battery life is atrocious. It went from 84% to like 42% overnight.
I'm told it needs to settle for a bit. I don't know why roms have to settle. They're not frakking houses.

Calculated the screen usage by calculating the mAh used as follows:
2100mAh(battery capacity) x percent used total x percent used by screen
Divided that number by the screen on time.
For combined I just divided total used mAh by total time off the charger. So where you have maybe an hour of screen on time, you've got 9-10 hours off the charger.
I didn't single anyone out, so no need to go there, honestly.
It was just a general notice.
I wonder if you can have a script (Tasker task) then runs every 10% of battery that writes to a file or something.

To all you Hulu users out there, are you using Hulu or Hulu Plus?
I just signed up so until I find something I really really want on plus I'll stay with the regular.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Its hard after shooting the breeze with everyone for months, to remember that we are all quite different from each other in our actual lives, and we get a little too comfortable. I will be honest, I tried going over into the Politics forum, but decided that I didn't like bringing the real world into the forum, which for me is mostly fun. So I will just stick to phones, food, fun, family, and forum games.
P.S. I honestly think you and I would get along great in real life. Other than the fact you are an EE Damn sparkys.
Hey all, I still am getting weird notices when I try to Thank, it opens a new page and now says:
vBulletin Message
Could not find phrase 'post_thanks_flood'.
Hmmmm.... wonder if it was due to that tinkering with the Thanks button, before adding the Share button a few days back...
Maybe try clearing your browser cache, let me know if you still have trouble after that.
