What is battery drain if you try this:
1. Boot winmo.
2. Check battery level.
3. Boot android
4. Check battery level (for fun, it could differ from winmo, if so, does this 
mean battery was charged during android boot even when power is unplugged?)
5. Reboot to windows
6. Check batterylevel.
7. Compare to batterylevel from step 2.

I just tried four times. No batterydrain (2%), if I compare winmo level before 
and winmo level after android boot and shutdown.

By the way, are you sure that no programs are running? Many programs run in 
background and are started automatically.

hmm oke.
If you boot android, check battery level and recheck, let's say, 5 minutes 
later, does it drain that fast in android too?

i've boot android the battery level was 33%
after 5 minutes the battery was 32%
(I did not start any app in android)

There are a few things, that really drain you're battery:
-Screen(Brightness)
-Mobile communication(wifi, bt, 3g etc.)
-Heavy applications(Games)

And of all three, mobile communications is the biggest drainer in android. A 
lot of applications use internet. Even some android processes use the internet. 
Also, the gsm-transmitter seems to be instable, and sends out maximum amount of 
radio waves. Turning on 'airplane mode', decreases battery drain significantly. 

Still, it drains more then Winmo. But its passible, hope this helps :)

There is an interesting post about this in modaco. The post is the 6690.

http://www.modaco.com/content-page/322429/android-on-omnia-ii-i8000-18-04-2011/p
age/6680/#

I copy & paste the post:

"I have the new beta 1 Froyo to work 100% in class 6 sd card!
The firmware I have on my i8000 is much I8000NXXJJ1 csc, phone pda.Depois how 
to analyze all possible because it took so much battery with the android I 
realized that running Windows mobile radio remained active even after the 
android born!
I'm testing the Froyo started off with the radio on Windows Mobile and so far I 
have almost five hours with Froyo and my battery level is 93% ...
Make the tests if there happens to you the same!
Excuse my English! Loool"

We can check this..

...
I'll try to put WinMo offline and I will let you know!
Tanks for the info!

I turned on again in WinMo the battery was 92% (offline)
the second boot didn't give me error

Hi!

About power consumption... Well, i tryed CPUtuner, i've tryed GreenPower and 
still, on the froyo beta1, the power consumption rate is way over the top...

So, my question is, is the eclair beta a little better on power consumption 
levels?? Did anybody bother benchmarking this?

Thanks for your time!

Did you try the JJ1 phone part? I flashed my phone with JJ1 phone part and 
battery life is quite good now (with CPU Tuner) compare to before. I was only 
getting 7 hours out of the phone (nothing going on, just sitting there) and now 
I'm only losing 2-3% an hour when it's on standby (obviously battery gets used 
up when you have 3G, wifi, and screen on)...

is there any progress/improvement with the battery issue?

I think this should have a higher Priority as the android is useless without 
this fixed....cant keep recharging my battery constantly. For what every reason 
do we know what is causing this?

Please, kill all your data connections (2G/3G and wifi) when you are not using 
the phone. Like windhoze does automatically.
Android is another kind of OS and uses data constantly (it is designed for data 
use)

You could try a native android phone, you will find out it consumes more power 
in shorter time then other (non-android) phones

Thanks for your reply but, I have a number of non android and native android in 
my house. This is an abnormal amount of power being consumed. I have never had 
a phone that goes flat in such a quick period time. Even with the apps that 
suppose to shut down the wifi and data connections when it is turned of all it 
did was make the phone so slow it was useless.
I use my phone for its data connections, i.e. instant messaging and emails, i 
was hoping i could transfer these features from winmo to android. The power 
loss is way to fast and the aerials being shut down doesn't offer a suitable 
solution as the power consumption is still WAY to HIGH.
I don't know if the android phones  are different capacity batteries but the 
ones in my house are only charge once every day or so. I found my self at best 
recharging it every 6 hours , normally much sooner. 
I love the work but this issue kills the project for me, sorry.
note this issue exist even when email and instant messaging was not being used.

offcourse it could be better but for a fact the native android phones which 
nearly meet the hardware specs of omnia phones show much higher drain then 
omnia in winmo does. battery last longer theb omnia when in android but not 
nearly as expected when you are used to omnia's native winmo battery live.

on question. You are talking about transferring features from winmo to android. 
What do you mean by that? It i not possible to use winmo apps when running 
anroid.

Nope, wanted to just watch my Gmail account for emails and occasionally use 
Facebook Chat. (Didn't me literately transfer the feature, just android 
equivalent apps and stuff.) I never got that far as the phone power ran out to 
quickly. With them I'm sure it would have been much quicker to run out of power.

6 hours on battery on standby with no 3G and no apps running .... the phones 
battery will run out before I can get home. I realise that there will be some 
hardware issues as it is after all it was designed for a winmo phone, the power 
issue stops it from being usable for me.  

Maybe this issue can't be fixed and an android omina is out of the question for 
everyday use for me. Well was a great effort.

oke I understand. Are you sure you have a healthy battery?
As I have android running with 3G continuously, using facebook, whatsapp, gmail 
and corporate email (push) and I get around 9 to 13 hours of battery life.
Not ideal, but 6 hrs is very short.

To compare, when on winmo using browser, corporate mail, I get no more then 16 
hrs batterylife.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

well that is possible ,although 16 hours sounds about right for my winmo, will 
give a new battery a try see if that helps and let u know. 
I really love the idea of android as  omina's native os is almost unusable, 
emails wont sync from my mobile Internet and outlook crashing. Really was 
hoping for android on omina, well it may be a new android phone. 
9 hours sounds great to me, if i can get that it will be great, already found 
some apps that shut down 3G and other wifi when they aren't needed.

i have reported this issue when the development was stopped at froyo beta 1
but yet from the beta 2 the problem of consumption has been improved (I do not 
say resolved)
I suggest you keep up to date with new versions (because we are in a beta 
stage).
I am very pleased with the progress and above all that this project goes 
forward.
waiting for a stable version, so as to give new life to our good device.

i have bought omnia II two days ago and installed o2droid but it drains my 
battery 50% battery in 30minutes, I checked it in winmo (Sonblack's rom) it 
drained only 10% in 2 hours.  Really fed up with this kinda of battery issue.

Original comment by adilse...@gmail.com on 14 Apr 2012 at 1:03

Which beta and kernel revision are you on? 50% is too much and not
experienced by much users.

Might also be a result of android updating apps right after first boot. It
uses much data during that period (phone can become hot too during updating)

I think the latest package, beta 2 which is available on the phj(server) site. 
I won't lie i did updated some apps but i turned off all kinda sync. it won't 
effect much. It feels too heavy to work around in android very slow and 
frustrating. Did it runs like that on yours too?

it is running fine on my phone. Currently working on a new beta which is
better for batterylife
