Droid X Battery Life

[cbaty08]

Do you people who get crazy good battery life use task killers or antiviruses or battery saving apps such as juicedefender?

JuiceDefender all dayyyyy!!!

Once you get to understand the settings of when to allow your peak hours for data, which apps are allowed data 24/7, and your data schedule, its all gravy from there.

I even bought the plus version, gives you an option to stay on wifi(which uses less battery than 3g) when you are close to the phones trusted/known hotspots.

This along with SetCPU and juice plotter give me easily 60 hours on my extended battery. Mind you JuicePlotter doesn't help battery life, but informs you of how much is left in hours, as well as how long it will take to charge full while it is charging.

ok, unplugged for 16 hours. played checkers with my daughter, read emails, made and received calls. sent some texts. chatted with tapatalk on a few forums, downloaded a 300mb movie, a 8mb mp3, watched a 50 minute episode of Mad Men on my way to work, and listed to about 15 minutes worth of music. The battery (extended) is at 40% as of right now.

Ever since i upgraded to Froyo battery life has gotten a TON better

Thought I'd add my two cents. Got my DX in from FedEx. Upgraded to 2.2. Fully charged all night. Been going 31 hours since full charge. Texting, IM, installing apps, 5-6 phone calls, lots of email, facebook, etc.

Just plugged it back into the wall when it hit 10%.

Nope no battery switching, I think it would actually count that and start the timer over. I don't do anything special, I am on the extended battery. I didn't play any games this round but have used the web, music player, bunch of texting and emails. No widgets updating except beautiful set every hour. I used to use advanced task killer but have since stopped for about two weeks and my phone has been great since. I thought I would use battery life more not killing some apps like games or music player, but I have not.

I always back out of browser instead of hitting home, or if I am a bunch of pages in I will just kill the window and back out of the new one. I have dropbox installed so not sure if that is pulling resources to keep my files updated, but hasn't seemed to hurt it. I have noticed going into the 4636 from dial pad UID1001 is using almost 100 of my senor not sure what that is though. Does not seem to be affecting battery though, so there is great hope with these phones if you set it up to meet your needs.

Oh and WIFI is always on at home and work, GPS and bluetooth are always off. I am on a network extender at home to keep good cell coverage. And the use cell towers for my location is set to off.

I'm getting 25 hours pretty consistently. Could probably stretch to 30 if I wanted.

 

[Sydman]

I decided to plug in at 30 % got stuff to do tonight and don't want it dying later.
