Re: Battery Life Management (Vogue, dHarvey)
I really don't understand why you all are having such bad battery drain issues. I personally have 2 batteries. 1 is an OEM shipped battery that came with my phone and the other is an 1880mah OEM Extended Battery. With the shipped battery I get at least a whole day with this ROM and with the extended battery I get at least 2 days with this phone and that is talking, texting, using gps, push email, mp3 player, coreplayer movies, sprint tv... etc. I use it all and don't EVER have a problem with my battery life.
I literally just unplugged my phone about 10 minutes ago and yes, my phone is at 95% already with the extended battery but that's probably because I leave it on the charger all night long while I'm sleeping.
What you are all seeing is the 1% battery.dll in action. With the official ROM you have 10% increments so it will sit at 100% until you reach 90% giving you the illusion that you are fully charged and then have a sudden drop off but in my ROM the 1% battery.dll is merely a more accurate meter and you are able to see the battery incremements go down as they are actually doing down.
Yesterday my extended battery was dead so I threw my fully charged OEM battery back into my phone and ended up talking to my dad for over an hour and only lost 15% battery life. This is with the 1100mah battery.
I really can't seem to duplicate your issues with battery life so I can't say for sure why you're having it.
Wish I knew because I would have it fixed asap in all ROM versions.
Tell you all what.... You keep tinkering and when you find a tweak that fixes your battery life issues you let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
