i actually think the captivate looks too much like a bb storm, but def has better build quality

why can't the captivate come out alreadyyyyyy :(

TELUS to get Samsung Galaxy Apollo by October.

how long does the battery on u guys' vibrant's last? on my tmobile one, i unplug at 8am and it dies at 530pm.... i dont use it that much either maybe 20 of call and 30 min of browsing.. the rest standby.

takes like 5 hours to get a full charge too. is that normal? even my iphone 2g wasnt this bad. Fuk going from a Huawei pos that lasts a week on a full charge to this is horrendous!

Try turning off autosync. Should help a bit on the battery life.

for using it that much my vibrant would normally get 88 hours of battery life, turning off the data network(apn) and wifi or allowing wifi to sleep saves alot of battery life. theres are many power control widgets in the market that will allow you to toggle the data network and many other options to save battery power i use one called extended controls.

Rogers Captivate site has been updated, but still no launch date? :(

Try everyone on this thread that owns a Vibrant/Captivate. lol

88 hours? I have to see that to believe it. Even nexus one with custom low power kernels can't do that.

QFT

opened email and saw the rogers update... then no release date... lameeee

low power kernels dont do very much. they undervolt the cpu when then cpu is NOT in use and the battery gains are very minimal.

also this isent an n1 its a galaxy s and has different cpu and display, the display being the major battery saver.

when im not using the phone nothing is running only the signal bars are on the top bar. I have no widets or apps that poll the phone i dont run app killers as they can pole the phone up to every 5 seconds, and android system is quite capable of killing tasks to free memory by itself. infact task killers can cause the lag problem to be worse than normal.

all this info is on xda developers forum.

84 hours. Seems in line with KUVG's post.

The Galaxy S has a 45nm CPU, not 65nm... this saves power.
The Galaxy S has an S-AMOLED screen which is 20% more efficient than the regular AMOLED in the N1.
The Galaxy S has a 1500mAh battery while the N1 is 1400mAh

No kernel can make up for that. Good effort though!

I know it isn't an N1. Just comparing since I've seen really good battery life from an N1. Just looked through a battery post on the i9000 on XDA and most have not made it past 48 hours with actual usage. I mean you practically aren't using the phone as a smartphone if you can get that sorta battery life.

Let me try to understand this kuvg's claim:
kuvg still make use of the capabilities of the smartphone when he wants to use it. When the phone is NOT in use, nothing is running in the background.

But i would like to know - what kind of stuff kuvg been doing when making use of the potentials of the i9000 while still get that 88hrs.

Do you, kuvg, have a screen shot of your battery life?

The first models released of the i9000 had fairly weak battery, the new ones are fantastic.

this is what im saying, when i wish to do something with it ill turn data, wifi, gps whatever on and use it and when im done that feature is shut off. most of what i do is general use, checking websites, sending texts and some music.

theres proof on the internet, if you really need me to take a screenshot of my phone then you will have to wait like 3 days....

Why would someone lie about their battery life? :blushsmile:

No need to ask for proof lol~

whoa thats nuts! i turn off wifi and stuff, but how do you control the data? i installed task killer and now i can last through the day on similiar use with 10% left. I only have auto push gmail + hotmail turned on.

was the battery life bad on your vibrant like mine out of the box or was it better? thanks

it never lasted that long out of the box. i fully charged it, killed it so that it turns itself off and fully charged it again (did that like 3 times) now i try to do a full discharge/recharge once a week.

as i said in previous posts there are many power control widgets that allow you to turn features like wifi,data,bt,gps on/off. i also advise againsed using programs like auto task killer because they constantly "talk" to the phone using the cpu and keeping it from sleeping the android system will kill a task when it needs memory and those other programs are just gimmicks imho

cause i dont have an android =/
