Hi everybody, I have been able to use my M001 with WIFI and screen at lower bright always on, for more than 2.5 hours using the last official firmware 1.7.4, I think it was around 2 hours with firmware 1.7.2, and I have heard from some people about SlateDroid firmware 1.3 uses some power save techniques. Here are screenshots of my M001 just at 1% battery.Can anyone test battery life on SlateDroid 1.3 firmware?

Really good news! Will update mine to 1.7.4 soon.

Battery life is something that I would like to hear about as well for slatedroid.

Hi -Used my unnamed M001 last nite with latest Slatedroid firmware with wifi turned off.I spent approx 3 hours reading with Kindle app Checked battery usage at end - extrapolates to over 6 hours battery life for reading only!John

I used my Eken with the original Eken OS for an hour and six minutes using full brightness, wifi, and playing music and the battery showed 42%.. I think even that is respectable.

I'm also getting similar numbers -- 2-1/2+ hours for wifi surfing and other stuff, and 5+ hours for reading in Aldiko in airplane mode.(Ecotox 1.1.1) unbranded M001 from DX)
