Root OXYGEN ROM Impressive Battery Power

Paul's high battery stats come from not using the phone much. Oxygen is no better than Gingervillain.

You say you used 10 minutes of internet, but you havent told us how much your battery drained by.

How long does your battery last? Did you wipe before installing these 2 roms? And NOT restore anything?
 
Hi,
Unbeknown to me I actually got some excellent battery usage over the weekend which I am very keen to share with you all
I did the following on Thursday night
Total wipe of the phone and memory card
Installed RC6 then booted up
Updated to RC7 then rebooted
Added the kernel 2.6.37 then reboot
added the powersave script rookeemod-oxygen.zip
set wifi to be always on and no powersave.
over 100 emails
200 texts
and lots of facebook usage

and just check out these screen shots note the percentage of battery left with the time used

I am in shock to how much the battery has saved by being on WIFI all this time and not using HSPDA/3g

I would like to thank every one who has been involved in the rom and those who have been so kind in answering my questions as now I finally have a excellent setup.


Judging by the screens the phone was used little but thats still a really long time for the standard battery. I once got 5 days using my extended battery on gingervillain by hardly using the phone at all
 
For example,

Unplug 06:45, 3G all day, WIFI all evening (push email, forum apps, browsing), 1.5-2 hours Screen on charge at 22:00 40-30% left sometimes, depending on signal. It can be in 20's by then too, if I have more screen on...

Its hard to say, my usage is different daily, but it always lasts me from bed to bed, which is what I want.
 
10 minutes of Internet drains the battery from 100% to 90%.
While flashing Oxygen I wiped data and erase delvik cache but install some apps from titanium backup.

Browsing does muller the battery, especially on mobile data with a weak or fluctuating signal.
 
That can happen with screen and data but it is a bit excessive.

But if you look in settings>about phone>battery usage, you can compare the drain graph (by pressing it) against these 2 things below it.

Spare parts is also good
 
I've been testing Oxygen battery life after trying CM7 for a while.
I must say, the battery life is really impressive. :)

Here is my phone's usage after 3 days and 17 hours and still 34% power remaining. I've tried to keep the usage to a minimum with small amount of activity (short navigation, short WiFi browsing, short call and music). I was mostly interested to see how long phone can hold on with a minimum usage?

Now I know that with this ROM I can have it last 4 days easily if minimum used. :)
