Root battery in galaxo

Bomberman · May 13, 2010

I'm more than happy with my Galaxy's battery life at the moment. Running JC6, Galaxo and ADWLaucher 2.1. Today I unplugged at 0800, and had 3g on all day, everthing autoupdating, downloaded apps/pdfs and spent a good time reading them, made calls/texts, read Aldiko for an hour etc. etc. I still have 30% (was actually 50% I'd been using it so it was pessimistic) battery life!
I think this must be to do with SetCPU and Galaxo - I have a full on 710mhz/perf setting for 50% battery life and up, then a 528mhz conservative lower. Oh and a restrictor for sleep, although I went too low originally and almost couldn't get the unlock in it went so unresponsive

I've tried galaxo 1.6.3 and my battery died in 14 hours.
Now i'm back to JC6 with IH8 baseband and again 2 1/2 days with autosync and a-gps using the phone (1 hour talk, 1/2 games, 1 mail, 1/2 navigation per day)

my pennies worth of experience i would like to share,

coming from JC4 , i used to get pretty good battery life of 27hrs + with wifi usage of 8hrs + and background - on all day.

However, ever since i have installed galaxo 1.6.3.1, the battery life is only abt 13hrs. Bad !!!!! :eek:

So after reading through all the comments posted here, i am now gonna try settings like remove task manager, turn off background n a few other things. . .

Hope this will significantly increase my battery life. . (i cant seem to be running after a charger all day :rolleyes:

I too have never had my Galaxy's battery last more than a day, until I accidentally killed GTalkService.
After that the battery lasted 2 days+

I checked battery usage in spare parts and the difference between running and screen was always between 1-2%.

I rebooted the phone and left GTalkservice running this time, within 30 mins the battery had dropped by 5% and the difference between running and screen in spare parts had significantly increased to over 10%.

Needless to say I killed the service again and voila! my battery usage instantly dropped. Plus I got an extra 4mb to use for apps.

Do I need GTalkservice?

Market, Gmail and maps all still work so what is the point of having such a resource hungry app running?

I've had issues with GTalk (or something to do with GTalk) keeping my phone awake before too (I'm still on the old galaxo based on II5).

If I looked at logcat I'd see XMPP messages every now and again (used by gtalk), even though I'd made sure it was signed out of gtalk.

For me going into Settings -> Application -> Manage Applications, and clearing any data associated with Google Talk and Google Talk Service seemed to stop this happening. Of course if you do actually use gtalk then this probably won't help.
