But mine, being considered a low activity device I badly need apps or do tweaks to make my phone life a bit longer.
On previous blog i discussed how do i use my phone in a regular basis.
Just a story..
Beforehand, with its stock GB my phone lasts about 1day and a half on a standby mode.
Heavy usage (3G,wifi,and other heavy stuff) make it last for 6-8 hours. Yes!6-8hours having its 1500mAh battery. Poor phone :/
After rooting and flashing a custom ROM (CM9 based ROM) for the first time. I find it really battery friendly. For me, that's true IF YOU WANNA HAVE A LONGER BATTERY LIFE TRY FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM :) Risk it, just backup everything nothing bad will happen and follow the OP instructions on how to install it. :)
First: How do I make my phone last for a day or 2?( No need for root techniques).
1. Turn off 3G when not in use or just simply turn off mobile data.
2. Use wifi than mobile data. I don't know the reason behind but i just find my battery lasts longer when i'm browsing using wireless connection.
3. Turn off GPS :) because as you all know majority of the apps we installed need your location, so even you don't use it, it continuously search for your location.
4. Limit widgets. (but i love widgets) Just limit it, place there what do you really need.
5. Brightness! For me the most battery sucker of all :/ consuming too much energy. Turn it to how much you can tolerate. :)
6. I don't use vibration, it feels like it consumes much battery. Correct me if i'm wrong, So i'd rather turn my phone into silent mode or limit it's volume. :)
7. Install battery saving apps. :) Many many apps, just try to use all of them you will know what really works or not. But me, BatteryDoctor is my favorite. :D
8. Don't use live wallpapers. I know you love them, me too, I do. But if you want to conserve battery it's a big NO! It consumes too much energy, it doesn't allow your phone to sleep even screen is off.
9. Disable, background data. (whatttttt? how about facebook, how about twitter, my gmail) Again, this social networking apps consume our battery that much. By keeping you updated it keeps your phone awake. Even mobile data is off.
10. Camera! Yes we love our camera, i use it on my daily basis. But if you want to save your battery, you can still use it but NO FLASH :/
In CONCLUSION: If you want to make your battery last longer, Your Smartphone will never be a smartphone, all those good stuff they offer was the battery consumer. Ughhh.
With these method, my battery can last on stock Gingerbread for about 1 1/2- 2 days. Sorry no screenshot because just like in my previous post i'm using a custom ROM right now.
BUT IF YOU WANT LONGER BATTERY LIFE BY NOT PURCHASING A HIGH END PHONE, TRY FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM. Trust me! you'll be addicted. :)
UPDATED: How do i make my battery lasts?(Rooted ONLY!)
Warning: Don't try this if your phone wasn't rooted. It may SOFT BRICK/HARD BRICK or NO EFFECT at all.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IT MAY CAUSE YOUR PHONE. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Battery Tweaks. There are a lot of build prop tweaks on XDA Forum that may suit what you need. But for battery tweaks this is what i use.
Go to Root Explorer or Browser
Go to System/etc
Look for build prop
Open it with text editor
Change the value or copy and paste it there.
Power save tweaks
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0 ---- enables a power savings mode (do not have more details yet)
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180 ----sets wifi scan interval in seconds. This sets it to scan for new wifi networks every 3 minutes. Does not effect a known connection.
pm.sleep_mode=1 ----enables a hibernation mode when phone screen is off
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=1000
If you want to add like Performance Tweaks, below is the URL for the other tweaks.

2. Install SlimBean Unofficial by Camcory.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034647
This is the most battery saver custom ROM that i ever tried so far. Yes it is slim. Some system apps are deleted, just to make it a daily driver with VERY GOOD BATTERY LIFE.
It can last 6 DAYS.. of course on Airplane Mode and not touching much your phone literally. :) Try it to believe it. :)
3. Use One Power Guard App
It is free on the Play Store :)

For us, using custom ROM this is the best Battery Saving App I can't live without. I always install this every time i flashed a new ROM. it never fails me.
What does it do?
It lets you choose a mode on how you want your phone to perform.
For battery saving: I use Standby Mode when I still want my phone to perform well and Power Save Mode when i'm about to sleep.
IT HELPS SAVE MY JUICES EVERY DROP OF IT. :)
4. Use Deep Sleep Batter Saver/ Pro
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.batrsaver&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yb290dW5pbnN0YWxsZXIuYmF0cnNhdmVyIl0.
There is a free version available in the market. So give it a shot.
How does it saves my battery?
Just simply letting your phone sleep. :)
There are many profiles that suit how do you want your phone to sleep.
Me, I always use Slumberer :) i just need my phone to last badly. :) and it does.
5. Use SetCPU
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5taHVhbmcub3ZlcmNsb2NraW5nIl0.
It simply controls your CPU depending on how you use your phone.
You can underclock it to save battery or simply overclock it for best performance.
6. Install Better Battery Stats
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hc2tzdmVuLmJldHRlcmJhdHRlcnlzdGF0cyJd
This App will let you see, which apps make your phone stay awake even when the screen is off.
Simply, it will show you what apps prevent your phone to go to deep sleep.
7. Titanium Backup
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
This app lets you Freeze some apps that drain your battery. :) What apps drain your battery BETTER BATTERY STATS will tell you. :)
Well basically, these are all the things i personally installed on my ROOTED phone to make it last. Since I'm still having a battery drain issue with VeloxROM and still waiting for update. All this combinations give me a 1 1/2 day with light-moderate usage. Which is pretty good for me.
Again, thank you all for dropping by. You can personally message me for a CUSTOM ROM REVIEWS on our VERY WONDERFUL GALAXY WONDER.
Take Care everyone.
