oops, didnt see Tuatha's vsimilar post ^. Soz for double up, I would have deleted the whole thing, but i think the point needs reinforcing ;p
so this is my battery usage so far today. I had it charged overnight. It been unplugged for 3hrs 26 min and Im down to 55%.
Voice calls (ive been on the phone for approximately 1hr 10 min) have taken 47%, Android system 17%, Cell Standby 17%, Phone Idle 13% and Display 6%.
Does this seem normal?
Ive also just received another battery and I want to make sure that I condition it correctly - what do you recommend?
thanks
hey,
there has been an almost infinite amount of threads on battery, and these kind of stats from the system keep appearing without being thought about first. I want to use this one as an example only (this is a friendly post), and as it was by the starter of the thread.
this phone started on 100% (after charge) and at 3h 26m since unplugging is at 55%, having used 45%, which is the important part.
It have spent 1hr 10m (70mins) calling (approx one-third of the time since unplug), taking 47% of 45%, but this is a little over 21% of the total battery. The handset has an ideal talktime of 390 minutes (rarely ever achieved in practice), 6h 30m, and these stats suggest it could get over 5 hours of real-life-talktime (including signal problems, searching, wcdma-gsm-wcdma) if only used for it. There is no indication of other use, but the System and Display stats make it likely there was other usage within the 3h 26m window.
does that sound like bad battery life? 5 hours plus of real life talk-time? on a smartphone, it sounds ok to me (of course, I'd always like more!!)
the point is that these stats need to be analysed for what they are, a breakdown of battery usage by type of process, and they only account for 'what has been used' as a percentage of 'what has been used' and will therefore always add up to 100%.
hope this helps
