Help How long does your battery last?

[Rainulf]

It really depends on how wise you use it. The apps you've installed may affect battery life..and a whole lot variables. Mine last for about a day (24hrs), I use the internet (about 3-5MB of bandwidth), music player (about an hr of nonstop playing), wifi (connected most of the time, I'd rather use it than 3G for now).

I'm pretty sure switching to WCDMA only has no effect on signal, because there is no gsm network for it to receive. Switching to 2g only makes the phone inoperable unless your roaming on a network that has 2g.

I've left mine on wcdma only, not sure if it helped the battery life any, but I dont see a reason to leave it on wcdma/gsm, since it could possibly make it hunt if it loses signal, but I haven't seen evidence of this.

I believe that you need all of those services.

Your phone has used half its battery in 10hrs. Which falls in line with all the people above you as normal use. Gaming uses a lot of power as it needs both the screen and the processor running all the time/at full power.

Seems reasonable.

i think you can stop the update service.... As you can know about the updates without that also, from LG PC Suite.

signal strength = -71db 22asu
cell stnadby = 46%
voice calls = 21%
android system =16%
phone idle = 12%
display = 6%

no 3g/gps/wifi etc...got my phone a week back..and iam more than happy with my phone!!!

cell standby = 46% ?? why it uses that much power

 

[mrduke25]

Mine lasts for 2 days max. I kill my apps every 30 minutes, put my brightness level at it's lowest and as much as possible, I don't use my speakers that much.

thats what i do..all the time

 

[spyker44]

mine can last about 20 hours (& about 3 days if i don't use anything except answering/calling.)

approx. 30mins of phone calls, 1-2 hours of gaming &/or listening to music, 20 SMS, battery widget & lookout security is enabled 24/7.
WIFI, 3G, Bluetooth & Auto-sync are disabled unless i wanna use any one of them. i also use the 2G network instead of 3G (goto Network settings).
brightness is about 40%.

some background apps consume alot of battery power, so choose an app which doesn't drain out your battery more than usual...
& always kill tasks once every 10-15 mins or after using the phone & apps.
force-kill the app(s) if it keeps starting every 3-4 mins (if it doesn't work in Task Kiiller- goto manage Applications, select the app & click on force stop).

it depends on what game app u play as well.
for example, "Angry Birds" is a power hungry game app.
just 10-15 mins of gameplay will cause the batt to get real hot & it saps 10-15% of my battery level. No more playing of "Angry Birds" for me anymore!

The battery on mine lasts about 24 hours or a bit less during weekdays, and 2 days on weekends. During weekdays I do the following with it:

10-15 minutes of calls;
varying number of text messages;
quite a bit of gaming, such as Robot Unicorn Attack or Gameboid (30-50 minutes);
about one hour of music;
HSDPA on for 6 hours while at school, Bluetooth if needed;
WiFi (2-3 hours) and Bluetooth if needed at home;

I have push YMail/Facebook and syncing activated, don't use Auto-Kill on ATK... Brightness is about 40%. Occasionally I may watch an Xvid video while on the railcar, or read something. As you can see I do quite a few things with it, I was worried because of the battery myself at the beginning. I don't use it as much on weekends, so that's why I don't have to charge it.

Great thread, very helpful. I've added "Battery dr to save battery" and it works well. Shows me all the settings to turn off or down and kills tasks!

 

[kdmk]

Battery Life is very good with P500.. I'm Satisfied. its coming minimum 28hours after using 3 hours playing games, 1 hours of Music and 40 minutes on calls...

I'm keeping my screen brightness 15%..

Its really good...

I charge mine every night as Im a heavy user. I send about 200 sms a day, around 20 total mins of call, plus games, wifi and autosync. Lasts me around 15 hours. If I use it less it lasts me 2-2.5 days. Definitely one of the best in terms of battery life IMO.
