In bad reception areas you may try yourself. My standard phone only cell phone dropped from 100% charged to dead within 10 hours with connected to 3G network (no internet connection logged in) instead of up to 7 days with 2G (its normal GSM and EDGE if logging in to provider network)

For what? If you do not look at it it doesn't matter if it is raining or not! Update at view is just enough.

So, I think the 3G is killing you, try to use 2.5G like me and change to 3G only if you need it. If someone call you over skype while you are on 2.5G you can tell them you will call on a minute, then you change to 3G (with the applet is quicker) and call over 3G, then switch back to 2.5G when you finish. It may seem annoying but is one option.

I am running 3G half the day and Wifi the other half. Looks for gmail while on wifi every half hour. Don't use Foreca or Facebook widget but have a bunch of QBW and Calender-home. I have overclocked and runing max 805mhz during day and 250mhz during night.

I normally get 30-48h usage. Could probably extend that if i didn't use the phone so much.

Normal things to do in that situation include (use search here and in wiki, both places are FULL of guides how to make battery last and how to debug these kind of problems)

- Remove all widgets..ALL!
- Take off ALL scheduled events (email checking etc.)
- Turn off ALL IM accounts
- Turn off gps
- Switch 2g only mode
- Remove all apps that install something on background. Or actually list programs what you have installed so that people can suggest what to do.
- Shut down phone and remove battery
- Put it back and restart
- Start to monitor battery depletion on bare minimum usage and one by one (~in week period) put stuff on and see how it affects battery usage
(Basically disable stuff until device is just "dumb" phone)

For future. This applies actually to all computers: You should never try to pin point problem with complex device just trying to tweak one thing or install apps. Of course it´s smart to ask first if there is some app that is known to be problematic. TURN OFF everything and start debugging by turning on stuff one by one. In long run you in most cases spare much of your precious time. And if problem persists backup and flash emmc+rootfs.

Also when you have disabled and uninstalled almost everything then processor should go in sleep state when you lock device. With powertop app you can monitor if some program keeps waking your processor from sleep.

Mine lasts for around 36 hours and sometimes 2 days.

1) I've set the brightness to 4 bars
2) Set GSM instead of 3G or Dual because 3g Service isn't available yet
3) Turn of GPS and Network Positioning, I enable them only when I need it.
4) I use Autodisconnect and Wifi Swircher. I think Wifi Switcher is a great App turning off Wifi has substancially conserve the battery. Before that I had recharge it everyday.

But still I am looking for ways to make it last 4 days as OP described

So if you count, out of 24 hours my screen usage is only for 1 - 1.5 hours. Still rducing the brightness to 2-3 level will make such a huge difference?

36hrs with 4bar of brightness:eek:s..........

can u xplain ur usage in these 36hrs..like phonecalls,music,videos,sms,wifi etc...

it'll give us a clear cut idea
