What's your battery drain in standby?

[mswlogo]

I though it would be interesting to compare notes on battery draw (while asleep).

I'm curious what various ROMs and I suspect others may too.

I run Battery Monitor.exe and let it go to sleep for a while to measure it.

Then I wake it and read off the number.

I've attached Battery Monitor.exe (included from Calkulins' Kitchen) I don't know if cab exists or it's complete. I also included the Battery.exe from Energy ROM but I did not test using that one and again I'm not sure all dependencies are included but it does run off my storage card with a different ROM I got from.

So if you care to reply please include:

ROM Version
OS Version
OS Build
Sense UI Version (or Other)
Bluetooth On
Data On
Battery Tool used
Signal Strength
Battery Draw

My Data is as follows

ROM Version: V1.33 Calkulin Kitchen
OS version: 6.5.3
OS Build: 23518
Sense UI: 2.5.1922
Bluetooth: On
Data: On and Idle
Battery Tool: "BatteryMonitor.exe" from Calkulin Kitchen
Signal Strength: 3 out of 6 Bars EVDO (Using the thin bar Meter I think Max is 6 Bars)
Battery Draw: 20ma

I haven't used that battery monitor, but I just looked and it's 9am and I'm at 50% after a full charge this morning. I'm running malrom's 6.5.3 on my sprint tp2. It's pretty annoying, I don't know what's causing such a rapid drain. I sync with exchange, but I don't think that should have such a dramatic effect. If I didn't work at a desk and keep my phone on the charger all day I'd be in real trouble.

If I LEAVE it in standby (which is tough because I'm always waking it up), I get just about 10% drain an hour. So about 10 hours on a full charge. I have the phone checking email every 5 minutes

Actually forget this response. I was actually keeping track of how often I pick up the phone and check messages or play with menus or look up an app and it's quite a lot. No way I'd let the phone sit untouched for any length of time to get a real reading on this It's just too much fun, But even with my usage, I can go from full charge to about 10% in just about 10 hours

I was runnin the latest MR(1-20) so I couldnt really comment on battery drain but I have noticed that ever since I flashed to the latest verizon update, my phone has been warming up a bit more than what it used to. BUt I usally have pretty good battery life maybe a day and a half. I flashed back to stock (6.1) on VZW so here are my results.

OS Build: 21052
TF3D:2.1
Bluetooth: off
Data: On and Idle
Battery Tool: Battery tool from OP
Signal Strength: 2 Bars (3G)
Battery Draw:113 mA

Sorry for not postin my results earlier.

I'm currently tracking my usage via a spreadsheet that I update everytime I have to charge my phone. I'll post it when I've acquired some more data. Granted it's tracking TOTAL usage, but I think it will be interesting to examine.

ROM Version: V1.1b Malrom 11/9/09
OS version: 6.5.3
OS Build: 28014
Sense UI: 2.1.1920
Bluetooth: On
Data: On and Idle
Battery Tool: "BatteryMonitor.exe" from Calkulin Kitchen
Signal Strength: 5 Bars EVDO
Battery Draw: 400-600mA!

Anyone know how to check what could be draining my battery so fast? I didn't see anything that jumped out at me using advanced task manager. I sync with exchange and hotmail and a few other accounts not as often but this seems a bit high.

Make sure data arrows are "grey" (i.e. not active) when you measure and let the phone go to sleep. You want to check it just as you wake it.

Lot's of things will make it spike, like even moving the phone may trigger gsensor events.

Set your screen fixed brightness and as low as can be, but comfortable. I find 30% pretty good after you get used to it. At first it seems dim.

Try shutting off bluetooth and see if it drops.

With the phone "awake" I get aorund 50ma.

If none of the above works, you can try start killing porcesses and services to locate the culprit.

I've had 28014 based builds run good on battery too.
