    Just wondering has anyone carried out the refreshing battery stats procedure after updating to 2.2 via Odin? As per this xda thread

    My battery is gone to be pretty terrible since I got Froyo. There is also this option which apparently works for the Galaxy S aswell.

    Any thoughts?

    Currently running

    2.2 FROYO.XFJP7.

    Carried out the second method and seem to have seen an improvement in battery life.

    Phone has been on for 15 hours and in that time I've made about 1.5 hours of phone calls, played some Angry Birds and some light browsing. Battery is at 11%.

    Thanks Rowley. I didn't see the second option, but will give it a try. I'm getting a good 24 to 36 hrs out of my SGS currently, but anything to help improve the battery further is welcome!

    24-36?!! :eek:

    What method did you use? I think the first one borked my battery so wouldn't recommend it. It could well be that I didn't carry out the instructions properly but it definitely took a nosedive.

    The second method seemed to redeem it a bit. It's still not great though.

    I've carried out method 1 after each firmware upgrade.

    Fully charged at 11pm last night, it's at 74%. That's with about 30mins browsing, 20 mins calls. Wifi always on. Sync on. Auto brightness. No angry birds today ;) Voodoo lagfix as well.

    Pardon my ignorance lads, but how do you run the commands given in option 1?
    Is it through terminal emulator or what?

    My phone lasts me 5-6 hrs most days tops. :mad:

    Edit, Sorted!

    5-6 hrs??? :eek:

    Think you're phone has to be rooted for method 1. I ran the commands through terminal emulator.
