Battery Life on On Vogue with Various ROMs
 

THIS POST WILL BE MOST HELPFUL IF YOU POST A REPLY BELOW - READ POST #2

Wondering if we can try to catalog the type of battery life people are getting on their ROMs. Yes, I know, varied user characteristics and the programs they run, as well as carrier, will greatly affect the battery performance, but I thought it would be interesting to see what people are getting.

I think this could be very helpful for people interested in finding a ROM where battery life is an important factor. Maybe we're all getting about the same battery life, or maybe there are those of use out-lastin' everyone else.

So, here's a generic form, fill it out simply, and feel free to answer the poll at the top. Additional helpful comments would be great, especially if you have compared ROMs in regards to battery life. If you try to think about a day in the recent past your data will be more accurate. Let's see what you've got - quote the following post and answer away:

Re: Battery Life on On Vogue with Various ROMs
 

Thread is pointless .. for example

"Approx average daily internet time: 30+ minutes"

Is that 30mins slowly reading some news stories, 30mins loading 100's of different pages, 30mins download files

Is your backlight set to power off, is your phone set to go into standby, do you have long text/ringtones. Do you turn off gps the instant you don't need it

Given you can get car chargers, wall chargers and charge off any USB - When you can just charge it!
