SURVEY: Battery Life?

[Dankees]

Possible Reason For Poor Battery Consumption…?

So, my battery has really been pretty crappy for a few weeks now (much worse than before).

It all happened right after my phone had ghost dialed *22899 and updated my phone’s PRL.

Now, my phone’s battery is pretty decent, so long as I am connected to the Google Servers (my Wi-Fi & bars are blue).

Here’s the thing – they aren’t blue as often as before. And sometimes, the Wi-Fi icon doesn’t even appear, even though I know that I am connected to Wi-Fi (maybe my work connection is bad).

Anyway, the remedy for this is to turn off my screen and turn it right back on a second later. When I do that, the icons appear and they are blue.

Should I manually call *22899 (since I had factory reset a week ago)?

Would a new SIM Card fix this problem or is that not a factor?

I'm getting ~4 hours screen time off a 100% charge which seems about right.

Decided to do more of a test to see how far i could push before i go and flash a new kernel and it seems pretty decent with the current setup.. so it will be interesting to see whether a new Kernel with overclock will leave me with similar battery performance.

Kernel: Stock Kernel 3.0.8 something
ROM: Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 (4.0.4 with a few minor tweaks)

You see, I wouldn't be getting those same results. My battery has been tanking like 1% every 2-3 minutes. So, in four hours, there are 240 minutes, divided by 2.5 equals - 96. So, my battery would drop to 4% from a full charge. And, that's without any idling time.

Do you have a screenshot of when your screen was on and off?

There you go. Forgot to mention that i spend most of the time on Wifi. Your battery could be getting destroyed by bad data signal?

In your pics the mobile network on/off bar shows up as red/yellow... mine shows up as green?

I'm guessing that's because I've got relatively good signal and you don't?

Very true. My signal does suck. But, it has always sucked, and now, the battery life bites more than before. I am gonna continue monitoring it.

I see that you lost half your battery life at one point. How long was your screen on there?

I was watching a film on TV for two hours -> spent most of that with the screen on using tapatalk/browser.
