Re: Poll: How Long Does Your Battery Last?

4. No Flaming anyone, we are all friends. This includes starting threads about a person or an issue. If there is an issue with something, it belongs in PMs, NOT in the public forum. Do not call out people in the forums, this belongs in PMs. If you have an issue with someone, PM a staff member. If you have an issue with a staff member, PM me or another staff member.

I have been on xda and ppc, I regularly reside on SPJ. I do not understand how this went from being a poll to flaming folks. I do not appreciate all the BS and "cryptic" crap. I use ATR, put my hubby on ATR, put another buddy on ATR and there's another that isn't. We all have TPs. The one that isn't is using the stock rom, no mods at all. He has to carry a charger with him, he has light usage and his phone only holds a charge for like 4 hours. Of the four of us, I have the most usage. With palringo, twitter, facebook and youtube running, kids playing teeter while we are driving, watching a movie every once in a while, sending emails, texting on average 100+ times a day, and of course utilizing my unlimited minute plan all the time to the tune of about 4 - 6 hours worth of calls every day; my battery has died on me once since running ATR. That was when I forgot to plug it in when I took a nap one morning. It only gets charged for about 4 hours a night. That is a lot more information than just the answers to the poll questions. There is more that needs to be known to make a real call as to whether or not the battery life is worth changing to a rom. And before you start questioning someone in regards to what they posted, you might want to read the whole thread. The mods and people that help out in these forums have really tough skin because they have to put up with people who don't know much of anything trying to act like they know more than a mod does. If so, why don't you help out more. Like my grandma said, if you can't say it to my face, it's not worth my time.

1 ) How long does your battery last? Monday thru Saturday, typical work week, 20 hours without a charge. Sunday, it stays on the charger.
2 ) Which ROM are you running? ATR TF3D
3 ) What tweaks have you done besides what came with your ROM? have several cabs installed, several of which were offered with the rom.
4 ) How many text messages do you approximately receive a day? Receive - 50, send - about the same. Not including updates sent from twitter.
5 ) How many minutes on the phone do you spend on the average each day? average day - 3 hours
6 ) How many data related activities do you do? Include how frequent you check e-mail. It stays online with Palringo and Twitter, I use IE at least an hour a day, my last bill says data usage was 14gig.
7 ) Do you use bluetooth or wi-fi a lot and how much? Bluetooth, jabra, all the time. Wifirouter (thanks SPJ) at least an hour a day, usually more
8 ) Do you have any practical suggestions not already mentioned? Be mindful of the fact that batteries have memories. If you use it one way all the time, when you change your demands, do not expect that it will act the same.
