Root Amazing battery life with 2.1!

[Branndon]

I recently went to my first real 2.1 build that I'm keeping for a while, it's an ese53 build one. Anyway my setcpu is at 550/250 all the time because this thing is so freakin fast at stock speed. Well it seems to take 3-4 hours before I even loose 10% of my battery, I will try a full day of no plugging it in tomorrow and see how it lasts, but it's always very cool to the touch, fast, and battery seems like it'll last 2 days.

My usual battery is about 12 hours but I was over clocked to 1000+

I've noticed this too. The ERE25 and ESE53 builds are much better in terms of battery life.

By the way, have you seen this thread?

[Release] Smoked Glass Boot *Updated 03/08* (ALL Builds/Voltages - 42 Kernels)

It has the choice to flash an OC kernel, with low voltages! I'm running the 1.2GHz one at the lowest voltage possible. Still getting great battery life, and I hardly get temps over 35C.

It's amazing!

 

[Branndon]

No I haven't seen that, I'm going to read it now, but I hope I don't end up re flashing my phone tonight, it's too late!

 

[Branndon]

Ok, read it, installing now, lol.

I've been really surprised with the battery life since flashing a 2.1 ROM. I took my Droid off the charger at 6:30 am and it's now 1:00 am and I still have 3/4 of a charge. Granted, I haven't used my phone much today, but still, that is WAAAAY more battery life than I was getting before.

I need to look at Adamz new ROMs with the all the different kernels. Damn, more flashing in my future. And I thought I was actually done for awhile.

Yep, I've been running ESE53 with no OC (except my sleep profile is set to 250) and my battery life has been phenominal. It hasn't been this good since I first got my phone. I'm tempted to look into the ROM Fab posted above but I don't want to change anything because my phone is running so good now.

Great find!!! Also running 35c at 1200 (low voltage)

in reading the thread it does not specifically state WiFi tethering support. Anyone know if it does?

there is talk of WiFi issues earlier int he thread, but not tethering specific

Don't know about tethering but the WIFI issues were resolved. He updated the download and at least for me, WIFI is working fine.

shrink,

yeah I saw that where the WiFi is fixed.. Now I need to install an ESE53 build to try it out

 

[DroidSuks]

just loaded this @ low volt @ 1.2.... so far im liking. Now to play the day and see how battery life and heat stand up... with jit enabled.

Man i love this...

 

[vincentp]

Agreed. Battery life on my ESE ROM is phenomenal. Even with live wallpapers enabled and OC'ed to 1100, I'm getting better battery life than I've ever had, to be honest.

 

[Branndon]

Well when my alarm went off this morning, I rolled over to turn it off, and my phone froze, so I had to reset it, then about 3 hours later, I went to get my phone out and it was black, couldn't get anything to come up, so battery pull, and it's fine now.

Oh, I'm running at 250/550 still with the low voltage, and I'm at 90% after 4 hours off charger!

 

[Branndon]

unplugged it at 7am, it's 2:30pm, 7 1/2 hours, and on 80% according to the stock battery meter, amazing!

Guess I know what i am doing tonight.. what battery meter are you using?


mine has been off the charger 9h 3m no calls made but surfed a bit and checked email a few times (3G, not WiFi)

OEM says 80%,

Battery Left says 77% Est, 80% System

Oh this is Pete's BB V0.4 ERE25, Stock Kernel

 

[Branndon]

looks like we have similar battery life, I'm going off the OEM battery reading until battery life calibrates itself again, I reset it.

 

[Shadowtech]

Installed one of Adamz low voltage kernels.. the 1.2 I believe and have noticed my battery is fairing pretty well also. Been off the charger for 7hr10min and is sitting at 80%. That's after making a few 30 minute phone calls, and doing some browsing.

I, like others here, have also clocked back to stock speeds since the phone is still just as snappy after 2.1.

i too am seeing excelent battery life but something strange i encountered. my battery was sitting at 40% after 13 hours, i got a call and it made my phone reboot. when it came back online my battery was back up to 60% and is still sitting at 50% 3 hours later. never seen the battery go up before it was strange

 

[Branndon]

who ever called you, have them call me at (714) 867-5309, I want better battery life too.

So this ROM will just change the overclock, not the rest of the ROM right?

Everything else will remain as is.

better native multitouch in browser and 3d gallery loads a lot faster too

I think I need to add AdamZ Kerrnel tonight.. been 5 hours with not real use fo phone and down to 90% which is not bad, but i thought that v.4 was better.. maybe not
