I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but over the past few weeks I have had HORRIBLE battery life using the Das BAMF 1.6.2 ROM and I thought it was the ROM or the Kernel.
I realized around the same time that my battery life went to crap that I had also flashed to the new leaked radio.
Tonight I flashed back to the stock radio that comes with the phone - and VOILA! Battery life is amazing again - overclocked to 1.5 ghz and using smartass governor.
So if you haven't tried this give it a shot.
tried that that hasnt worked for me. im getting about 7 hrs of use on either 3g or 4g with extended battery. tried all different kernels. same battery on stock and cm7. dont know what else to do

Yeah with the extended battery and froyo based das bamf I was getting over 30 hours while on 4g the whole time. Using the battery sipper kernel. That was the best. On das bamf latest gingerbread now. Definitely less battery life. Also I toggled to 3g only and now no matter what I can't get 4g back. It's the first issue I've had with the 4g since I got the phone. Strange.

I had the same problem in a way.. juice defender must not work as well with GB as froyo, but it disabled my 4G and wouldn't give me data back.. reboots didn't work I was stuck on 3G.. so what I did was toss the phone in LTE mode and 4G popped up.. might wanna try it

Yes, it's true for YOU. But what's true for you is not for everyone else.
This phone is in alpha stages. We are all beta testing this phone for HTC and Verizon.
I have great days and horrid days. This morning? 10% battery per hour with the screen off. Battery pull. I have an extended battery.
Lets all keep testing this phone and perhaps we will all have a great phone in the end.
I fixed mine too. I bought the extended battery.
Just joking.

its VERY possible, because of the extended battery.
i have das bamf 1.6.3 with leaked radio and the stock bamf kernel and the extended battery. juice defender and i also use super manager pro to kill tasks when i unsleep the phone. i also turned off 'Enable always-on mobile data' (settings -> wireless and networks -> mobile networks), turned off auto-sync under accounts and sync, changed all my accounts to manual sync, and turned my brightness down. I get great battery life but i dont think i could ever go back to the stock battery (even though i want to so badly because this thing is FREAKIN HUGE).
hope that helps some people

also... SetCPU is $1.00 from the app store and you can set a profile to underclock your processor when you sleep/lock the phone which would definitely save some battery life as well, haven't got around to that yet but still working on it.

I've already done all of that. My battery is decent when the phone is asleep. Where it sucks is when I am using it. I can browse the web for 10 minutes and I am done 6% battery or so. Even if I have the phone active most of the time, the biggest battery drains show as cell standby. Something is killing the radios when the phone is in use.

3 mA idle current is just phenomenal out of any device. Nexus one sees 6 mA, even the desire s sees 20 mA, thunderbolt is seeing 30 mA for some reason.
They really optimized the inspire.

I mostly do light browsing on my phone on wifi. If I browse for about 10 minutes or so I'm down 5-6%. When I was stock I'd lose maybe 1-2% after 10 minutes.
What I meant was how many milliamps is it draining while the screen is on? Battery Monitor Widget is what I use to check such things.
Also, what is your cpu set at in terms of speed and governor?

So I had just gotten done posting a smartass remark about how I had gotten two days on one charge with my phone, only to pull it off the charger go to work, and have the sucker die in 4 hours.
I figured out what I did, and you should try it too, it may help you out. I am running the leaked radio btw.
So earlier today I decided to go into ##778# and type the password 000000 and then modem settings and rev A and change it from Enable to eHRPD because I figured with the 4G network back I could use the dual radio 3G network. Well That is when my battery life went to ****. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to it burning hot and at 9%. I quickly changed it back to Enabled, and it survived the 9% all the way to 5% over a period of another 6 hours.
So unless you need to talk and use data at the same time, use the regular 3G network like I am, and see if your battery life doesn't improve. I still am on 4G all day, but this was literally the only feature I changed on my phone between amazing battery life and crappy battery life.
You can still do talk/data at the same time on Rev A with 3G.

Right and at the moment, no thunderbolt should have eHRPD. No matter what verizon says. So we're all running on rev a right now, and you must have done something else. EHRPD will not waste your battery any more than normal.

I just checked mine and it was set to eHRPD by default. Does this mean I should change it to enabled or leave it alone?
It doesn't really matter what it's set to. It seems as though Verizon has made all Thunderbolts default to Rev A in 3G areas after the outage rather than eHRPD regardless of what the modem setting is. You can check under About Phone-Network-Mobile Network Type
I use the LTE on/off app and Juice Defender Beta to increase battery life.
Set my phone to eHRPD then rebooted it and it went back to enabled I think Verizon is doing a tower by tower fix.

I'm currently using Tesla Coil 1.7.1 with imoseyon's batt saver kernel, setCPU using the smartass governor.
Today my battery life was absolutely horrible: 6 hours from 100% to 19% with 1 hour of screen on time at ~25% brightness, 8 mins of call time and maybe 2 hours of music off of my SD card.
I just can't figure this phone out...
I have noticed that as well. Some days my battery rocks, and some days it sinks like a rock. Not sure why. It's as unpredictable as my wife! LOL

The other thing I do is if I know I am not going to use my 3G or 4G connection I turn it off until I need it. This Rom I use has a widget for switching it on or off.
sent from my B.A.M.F Thunderbolt
The battery sipper kernel is the only kernel for me. Using the same Rom I went from about 6 hours of constant 4g to over a day of 4g. I do have the extended battery. I leave 4g on ALL day and get more battery life than I did on any other phone. I love that Damn kernel.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
So does changing the modem do anything or not? I just checked and my Rev A setting is eHRPD and under about phone, it says CDMA-eHRPD. I have not changed anything other than turn LTE off when not needed, and when I turn it off I select CDMA auto (PRL). I am using the new radio and BAMF 1.6. I get decent battery life so I am not too concerned, but I am curious.
I'm currently on cm7 and I love the rom. But I seem to get better battery life with the stock rom. Can anyone walk me through on how to optimize the battery life on cm7?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
first thing first, uninstall any social networking app, because they sync constantly and will run your battery down, if you have live wallpaper enabled, turn it off, keep gps off, and wifi if not in use, turn 4g off if your not actively using it , remove all unnecessary widgets , download an app called setcpu and create some profiles, if not of that works, try a different kernel
I'm on a stock rooted 2.3.5 using Netarchy Kernel. I undervolted using SetCPU and have only one profile. When the screen is off it downclocks to 200mhz. I do have my gps always on. The only thing I sync though is my GMAIL and weather every 4 hours. At the end of the day my phone says it has been unplugged for 17 hours with around 30 percent of the battery remaining.
I just carry a second battery. I want to be able to use the hell out of my phone and still have battery left over, so I just have two. I can have everything sync, brightness up, use GPS, etc

yeah it does it by applying cpu profiles that slow down the processor depending on the battery level. I'd rather have shorter battery life and more performance, so I just have a second battery. It's an OEM model that I got off eBay for about $10.

Some of these ROMs are awesome on battery life. I got great battery life with Open Soju. I then switched to kushdeck with the matrix kernel and the battery life was stupendous. The last day I used it my phone was on battery for 18 hours and I still had 49% left with moderate usage. Now I'm running stock 2.3.5 with the matrix kernal and my battery sucks again.

Prepare to be flamed for asking this question. Not sure why, but everyone seems to get their underwear in a bunch when this question is asked. Just a heads up.
Anyway, I had the same problem as you. I had the exact same setup as I did on CM9, but had much worse battery life, even after multiple fresh installs. I also don't have any widgets or many apps that sync very often. It seems that you just have to wait for the OS to "soak in." Make sure that you wait at least 10 minutes before doing anything after you flash the ROM. Just let your phone sit. After that, you can go into settings and tweak the phone. Also, try to go into the power saver settings, and setting sync to turn off after a set amount of time (I put 15 minutes), and for data to either turn off or turn to 2g mode after x amount of time.
Also, I'm sure you know the obvious.. turn off wifi/data/gps/bt/etc. if you're not using it. Set brightness to low or automagical.
I began with ~7 hours of battery life, and got to ~14 hours. Typically I don't have to be on battery power for 14 hours, and I tend to end up having ~35% of battery life after a full day of use.
Well I'm just asking how everybody uses their phone and hoe much they can get with it. Not saying that the battery life just sucks. I'm supportng my battery life with details
And i don't use many widgets either. I took off my live wallpaper too,i waiting to see how that works out

Not everybody will get the same battery life. If you are getting good battery on another ics rom and not another it is user error. Even if you are getting good life on gb and that kind of life on a ics it is a user error. Next time just flash and dont restore any data at all.
My battery life problems are pretty much not there anymore. I'm running AOKP M6B3, and getting 16 hours with 25% left, mild data usage, Facebook, GMail push, GVoice push, always on 4G and wifi on too.
I think the key was a Heimdall to stock, then to AOKP.
Yep. That's what I've been recommending to people complaining with battery on CM9 and AOKP to do. My battery life is great, and I use GR every time I go to a new build.
Well, to be fair, I went stock to AOKP M6B1, installed apps. Then just did an upgrade flash to B2. But still, much better battery life.

I'm running M6 version/beta 3. Gremlin remover does work but I did not do that I flashed over remics and doing great. I clear the battery stats and use all aokp features such as turn off wifi data when screen is off. I also have auto bright on and screen time out after 15 seconds. You also want to stay away from rebooting to much that will kill the battery and I also heard task killers drain the battery.

Im not here to convince you. A hundred people can report good battery life and then two people come and complain and people will start asking why.
