What firmware are you on? My battery life sucks to high heaven!! I'm thinking of giving up on the Galaxy due to its dismal battery life.

jpk 2.2 doc's (from xda) superslim firmware, gmail & twitter (updated hourly),
internet usage (mainly checking twitter links etc) for about 1 hour throughout the day.
on DiGi's network. Without using JuiceDefender, i'd never last the day.
and i dont even use this device for many calls/sms as it's my second device.

I have tried jp4/jp8/jph - all with similar results. coming from an iphone - i would have thought the battery life would be about the same. and i think the iphone had more apps which pulled data.

I want what mengsuan gets - my usage is similar too +/-. i'd even settle for 30% at the end of the day. arghhhh!!!

Perhaps somewhere down the flashing route, the modem/pda/csc combination is screwing up the battery life which is why i wanted to know mengsuan's firmware (preferably the specific modem/pda/csc files if not standard).

thanks will try that. i have been using 2G when idle - switching to 3G when I am on the internet only - it did improve a little but not tremendously.
so what firmware are you on?

thanks. we'll see if it helps. if not, it's the the sale forum for the galaxy and maybe i'll wait for the Desire HD or something else. Still prefer the Android platform to the IOS (but BB is still better for me for daily use phone).

i was using on the Eclair firmwares previously but they weren't any better (before I tried Froyo which I thought would have solved my battery woes). I guess if I was using the i9000 as a primary device, I'd use the more stable Eclair. I'm going to wipe and re-flash (and not download any third party apps at all) to see how the battery life is.
At least this device is keeping me busy (and out of mischief) until the next device (like the Torch) is released that is!! Damn you gadgets!

Thanks mengsuan. Much appreciated.

i suggest u flash to the newer Froyo leaks - JP1 very unstable (at least for me).

Added on October 13, 2010, 10:29 amdo you connect to the internet n surf much? i find using the internet (Edge or 3G) sucks battery big time.

kmrdeva - your point on the screen sucking battery is also true. makes me re-think the decision of a super amoled screen. maybe better go for a normal htc screen for the sake of a better battery life. Or get a couple of spare batteries.

no doubt i agree - the screen is absolutely brilliant!! but when the battery meter drops when i use the phone (especially internet), i think twice. I'm going to get some spare batteries and see if i can live with it. if not, when the desire hd comes, the galaxy goes.

ahh i didnt know amoled screens consume less power than the htc ones. my bad. thanks for setting me straight. saved me from jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

wow ameeru_aniki - that's some bill you have there!!

but havent they waived the RM500 penalty in your Goodwill waiver - Customer Satisfaction?
