Here's my latest stats:

Still using K10H 256hz kernel on BUPJ8 Doc Rom v9

Have a black background with a black theme, brightness on Auto today.

5% battery after 14h4m
Display 95% with Time on 3h41m6s
Cell Standby 3%
Phone Idle 1%

In Battery History

Running 40.3% 5h40m without sleeping
Wifi on 16.7% 2h21m

I was using JuiceDefender till I got home and also had 3g disabled a majority of the day, however after I got home I wanted to see the drain without juicedefender on.
Drain without juicedefender when on 3g was pretty appalling, probably a % every 5-10 minutes.

Mostly just
-Bit of Tweetdeck
-Few minutes browsing web
-Texting
-Emails
-1 phone call (5 minutes)
-Read Ebooks for 30 minutes
-Played Dungeon Hunter for 23 minutes
-Music for 1hour
-Grocery list for 18 minutes while shopping

Connected via 3G all the time.

Background Apps:

I was listening to music most of the day too :)

Wifi was left on, but have a kernal hack that slows down the scanning frequency.

Galaxy S Froyo.SRJP3

Been up 24 hours

52% Battery

1h39 screen ( 100% brightness auto off )
40m Phone calls
21h34m wifi ( email only pull @ the moment )
3G off

I'm pretty impressed actually, I'll tweak the display settings & get twitter up and going, but I figure with a bit of luck it'll last 2 days which suits me well.

ok here's my stats, compare this to morocco above

Froyo.DOJP2

up 20hrs32mins

50% battery

2hrs36mins display on
10mins phone calls
wifi on for about 10hours - surfing, updating apps, browsing market, and a lot of google contacts/facebook syncing as ive been trying to get all my contacts and facebook profile photos synced to my contacts list
(wifi set to sleep on screen off in advanced menu like recommended)
3g mostly off
lots of txting
lots of just futzing around on the phone trialling ADW.Launcher and configuring it, musta spent half an hour setting it all up before deciding i liked how the default Touchwiz launcher allowed you to sort apps your own way in the app drawer, so went back to stock, lol.

battery SEEMS to fly by when using the phone, but then stabilises after dropping past 80%. BatterySnap estimates about 24hrs life remaining. if true this is again consistent with the 50ish hours i got from it before. will let it run on and see what its like when it dies, ill post all usage stats again.

but am quite impressed at this point...

now will someone tell me how to sort apps in ADWlauncher instead of it just doing everything alphabetically!?!? :P :P i love everything else about it but the mixed up apps is a dealbreaker!

sorry if this has been discussed.. but have you considered it might be a particularly inefficient ROM/firmware build on your phone maybe??

Other people have been using the same/similar ROM and I have tried out many different versions of firmware. My battery has never lasted more than 24 hours or more than about 3.5hours of screen on time. I have used 3 different batteries for a while now as well, one oem and 2 cheap chinese ones and I use a wall charger to charge them.

Today I tried disabling juicedefender the whole day and leaving data/autosync on, my battery hit 5% after 7 hours with only 1.5 hours of screen usage.

Time to click that oem battery link I posted, maybe?

Ok so I'm swyping this from my galaxy itself, same session as when I last posted

Since last post I've done quite a bit of facebook and browsing on 3g and now wifi, just recently spent about 40 mins on trade me, and earlier on I took a bunch of photos with both the regular camera and Retro Camera (love that app!!)

And more txting etc.

Current stats are

34 hours uptime

10% battery left

Display use 90%, 4hrs18mins holy crap

Didn't quite get to my 48hrs as hoped, but sheesh with that much screen time I won't complain. I cannot imagine what the hells goin on with your unit lokhor..!

Ok I'm wasted tired I need sleep, I have less endurance than my phone-Finally!!! Lol

Wow lofreq i'm well impressed.

My battery life is getting worse, last night I charged to full and then left the phone overnight and this morning it dropped to 75% over 10hrs of doing nothing. I found in network usage that process "0" was using the most, I have seen lots of people asking about this on the forums with no clear answer.

I will be lucky if my battery lasts more than 20hrs, latest stats:

Battery @ 77% after 3h 40m
Display 95% (time on 1h 7m)
Cell standby 3% (3h 39m)
Wifi 2% (time on 1h 16m)

Running Froyo 2.2 stock VFNZ firmware.

That's not bad considering your screen on time. Have you tried using JuiceDefender to schedule data on/off?

Here's my latest stats:
74% after 5h3m
Display 90% with time on 32m46s
Cell Standby 6%
Phone idle 3%

I did download a podcast on BeyondPod using WiFi and listened to it on the way to work as well.
