My battery life!

I'm having a great overall experience with the Inspire 4G w/ CM7. Just wanted to show you guys some screenshots of the battery life I'm getting so far. These shots I took after a day of heavy usage, including a few hours of net browsing, texting, and e-mails.

Hey try using juice defender or current widget to exceed your current battery life. Both control which apps that are eating up your battery. Kills the non needed ones.

i've seen all the complaints about battery life but i must say mine is more than adequate. maybe because for the first 4 days i had the phone, after charging it for 10+hrs, i ran the battery all the way to 0 (til it shutdown), recharged to full, then drained it again.
it was my old habit from my nokia days.

Yeah, to be honest, this is equal to or better than the battery life I was getting with my Captivate. I can tell you with an absolute certainty that the battery did have to "break in" for a short period, after installing CM7.

Its deff better than captivate, 99% due to the screen. I got over 5 hours screen on time in a 16 hour period the other day with my rom/kernel combo with screen brightness at about 40-50%. That's pretty damn good, way better than the captivate could ever get

On my LG Ally i was lucky to get 6-8 hours with just light use. With the Inspire on cm7 i have gotten around 20ish hours with moderate to high use.
I'm still shocked that i am able to get that much battery life. lol

I'm still breaking my Captivate records. I took my phone off the charger @ 7:00am on Wednesday the 20th. I'm now at 15%.

What roms are you guys running. Im on coredroid 5.4. I get about 20 h with moderate use. I consider it to be pretty good. But no way can I get over like 30 h. I don't like to use juice defender or setcpu. Don't feel like I should use apps that override android os. Especially GB is so will optimized and efficient.

I'm on CM7 and only wish I could get the battery you guys are talking about. I just went from 93% to 90% in a matter of minutes doing nothing on the phone. It was sitting on my desk!

Does your phone get lonely spending all that time lying silent longing for your swipe?

Not at all. It's my personal and work cell, so I talk, text, surf, and play games what I would consider a moderate amount. I don't use a large overclock. I use the smart ass governor on Leedroid's most recent rom, and my screen brightness at 1/3.
There are days that I can put it tonthe test, but my first charge got me 35 hours with 5 hours awake time.

That's it? I got this a while ago and that's before I did some optimizations... I'm going to see what it can pull this weekend before it hits the 15% warning.
Apparently I can't add images until I get some more posts.

16 hours?!!
I just got mine 3 days ago and was considering taking it back because the battery only lasts about 5 hours before needing a charge!

I have about 1.5-2 days using it quite heavy. Bluetooth and 3g on.

I cant go a whole day without charging. its worse that im on android revolution. I havent flashed the recommemded radio as im on Bell and am afraid of bricking my device.

I also use Android revolution and couldn't last one day (from 6:30-19:00). I had my WIFI on all day.
In the office we have WIFI and I think it drains the battery very quick.
When I turn the WIFI off at the office, now have 20% left at 23:00!

Yeah, my drainage is terrible. With heavy use, I can squeeze out around 5 to 6 hours with WIFI or 3G on. I've read that some people get upto 12+ hours with heavy use!

For everyone who is going "OMG battery life sucks on the sensation" but before you go exchange phone, I will tell you that I was like that too.
Coming for the MyTouch 4G with Virtuous Unity to the Sensation 4G, I went from 24+ (of medium to heavy usage) to 5 hours (with light texting and BT, WIFI, mobile network, etc all OFF). Not realizing this before I rooted and unlocked the phone (I did it the night I got home), so I couldn't exchange it. I decided to tough it out b/c other that this it was a great phone.
Conclusion: The battery life of the Sensation DOES GET BETTER over time. I know this is counter-intuitive but it is very true with this phone. My recommendation is cycle the battery (100% to 0% to 100%, etc) a lot. In my past experience is only takes 3-5 cycles for the battery stats to do its thing but with the Sensation, it took more or less about 2 weeks to break the 12 hour mark (which is about 20-30 cycles).
Currently I get about 18+ hours (moderate to heavy usage).
Unplug at 8am when I wake up, about 6-7 hours of music/podcasts while I'm at work with light web browser (2G b/c that's all i get in the office) and light texting, wifi on 6-8 hours, BT ~30mins (in car), 2-3 hours call
on InsertCoin 4.4.8 ICS 4.0.3

battery life!!

i have learned that many rom characters show it will protect a high battery life， my usual battery life is 48h，is it normal！i'm using jvp rom right now，if u think your battery life is longer could u show me how to do ，i just use the rom with the screen on at most 5h one day

OFFS
Its's a smart phone, if you get more than 24 hours from your battery be thankful, if not, carry a spare.

Well I disagree,
my phone has been 3 days, 22 hours 15 minutes on the same charge.
It depends on the rom you use, signal strength etc.
I would suggest you trying the Tweaky Final ROM (JVP).
Good luck!

I think the most important relationship about the battery life are
signal strength and monitor usage. If only standby in the good signal environment
more than 2 days is easy.

if you use mobile internet battery drops fast....uncheck that option when you are not using it....and you will get a better battery life

You not using your phone at all.

I really do not understand why people buying smartphone if they are not using it. In stand-by you can have just mobile phone. Smartphone is for using and using, not for stand-by unless you are very wealthy person and can afford to by a smartphone to keep it in stand-by. I am using momax 2700mAh battery and I never managed to get more then 24-35 hours of moderate usage. I never turn off GPS,BlueTooth,Wi-Fi,3G. Screen is on 100% brightness all the time(I payed money for SAMOLED and I want it to be sharp and bright). 1-2 hours of music through Bluetooth audio in my car, Internet, EBAY, YouTube, Facebook. 30-60 min of calls, several texts, gmail sync auto, weather sync every 2 hours and 20-30 min of ANGRY-BIRDS and something else.
I am glad that I can use it and not keep it in stand-by mode.

i m using galnet 2.2
with moderate usage and 2g only i barely can survive 24 hours
brightness is low, no sync
maybe my battery monitor pro is using too much battery?

is gingerbread life better than froyos?...

battery life depends many things like screen brightness, time of use, signal strength, 3G/2G, etc...
When i use the phone not to much and use it on 2G it goes about 3 days. But i have a game uses graphic power and cpu very much and battery drops about 3-4 hours game play time.
Dont worry about battery life so much. Its a smart phone and makes your life easy and fun. If every night you go home, and have a battery charger, just use it every night and have fun

i have got 4 days when using only as a phone and 12 hours when using as a smartphone

Good

I'm getting somwhere between 6 hours an 4 days
:silly:

I found that changing my modem on AOSP ROMs can affect battery life considerably. I tripled or quadrupled my battery life because it cut my several-hour-per-day RILJ wakelocks down to a few minutes per hour. Still not as efficient as a stock ROM, but going from three days of battery life to two for the latest and greatest features is worth it to me.

I'm using CM9 nightly 20120731 with very good battery life. Stock battery (1500mAh) with 3g on, sync on and screen brightness automatic, i can get over 24 hours. 1 day 9 hours 32 mins with same charge.

[Q] What exactly IS good battery life?

So I understand battery life is dependent on several factors, but I'm looking for a general number of hours of what's considered "good" battery life for the Inspire. I have looked at a couple different threads around XDA in an attempt to tweak my battery life to the fullest, as a heavy user of text messaging and the occasional use of my data services, but they don't ever seem to give numbers. The following shows my battery life from about 8 this morning until about 4 PM:

So, I'd guess that I would roughly get about 10 hours from a full, overnight charge down to zero. This is using the CM7 Nightly posted here with radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M and the latest TalonACE kernel with the BFS scheduler. So, am I getting good battery life by the standards of my fellow Inspire 4G users? Keep in mind that I live in a bit of a small valley so reception is poor here until I walk up toward my university's campus. Please let me know if I forgot anything; this is not a request for help on tweaking my battery, just whether or not I should look into trying something else to improve it further or if I've hit about my max.

If you don't regularly use data, juice defender will help you alot.
But to answer your question, on average I can get about 20 hours of battery life with 2 - 3 of that being screen on time.

I do a good bit of texting as well, about 2 hours of web browsing/gaming/xda-ing, and I work in a metal shop so my phone is always searching for signal. I can make it through a 10 hour work day but have to charge as soon as I get home. While I'm sleeping it only drains about 1% per hour so if I didn't use my phone it would last much longer. I'm running rcmix3d v4.0 with killersloth script. I've personally come to the conclusion that our screens are battery hogs and there isn't much we can do about it. So yea, i'd say your drain is normal.

If you can make it from when you take it off the charger in the morning to plugging it back in at night without prohibiting your use than that's good battery life for the inspire. I think on average people get 4 min per 1% battery while screen is on. That is if you are being reasonable about brightness. I just use auto bright though and I can make it through the day no problem.

I know for me I get about 12 hours on a heavy usage day but when I use it only for messaging I would say about medium or light usage i get 24-26 hours of battery using CM7 Nightly's And this is with wifi connected 24/7

I have Rcmix Runny 3.3 on my Inspire, with the UV script. I'm a huge texter, and usually text consistently throughout the day. I unplug the phone about 7:45 am on my way to class, go through the day, occasionally connecting to wifi, and make about an hour phone call at night, and by 10 pm I've got anywhere in the 40-50% range of battery left

Seriously? How old is your battery? Also, how good is signal strength where you are? because at my house (small town in southern US), signal absolutely sucks and is switching networks constantly. I left my phone at home one day and after eight hours of screen off idle, the battery was at 68%. If I am in town at school with a three+ bar 3g signal, I can go eight hours at idle and still hav 94% left.

I get on average a battery life of 10 hours, but i'm constantly using my wifi. I do turn it off whenever i leave the house though so it's not constantly searching for a signal

I usually get at least 16 hours from a charge. 3-4 hours listening to music with bluetooth headphones. 2-3 hours screen on time. Phone calls, e-mail, occasional Pandora, etc. I am using Juice Defender ultimate, and have an Anker battery. And I'm on ARHD 6.3.1 with the recommended radio.

I feel that 10 hours is a good minimum benchmark for my phone. I have the screen brightness is set to auto and I get between 12-16 hours on a cheap 1800mAh battery with moderate use.

[Q] Might be getting a N5! But the battery...

How is the battery life? From what I have seen its mixed some people are getting good and others are getting terrible. I normally use the screen in total maybe 3-4 hours a day and playing music from google play about an hour total so could I make it through a charge on that?

it will depend on the quality of your phone/data connection mostly, and how you set up your phone. i use purely lte, as i have a great lte connection, and see a minimum of 5-5.5 hours screen on time.

That's sweet dude. I'm getting 3-4 hours screen time. But my idle is pretty good. Getting around a 30% drain every 8hrs with one of the hours screen on and another for phone calls. Then some various data usage. How do you get such good screen time? Mind if I ask you your load out?

Battery life for me has been nothing short of stellar. 5 hrs screen time, can go 2 full days on a charge if need be. With all the moaning about the battery size I expected horrible battery life. That's definitely not the case.

Reviewers say its bad battery life, because stock kernel uses so much unecessary power. Flash a custom kernel and I reached 2.5 days with light - medium use (4 hrs sot).

I've had a handful of Android devices and this is the best battery life I have ever experienced.
I've gotten over 5 hours SOT in one day of heavy use.
Over the last weekend, I went 2 days off the charger with 2.5 hours of SOT on LTE only and still had 35% battery remaining when I plugged in for a charge.
I'm running completely stock and rooted.

i get 5 hours of screen on time on my nexus 5(not rooted.) but the thing is,there is 3g or 4g here in my country(goddammit).so 2g drains very little battery.My brightness is is somewhere between 30-100% and wifi is usually on.all time.i use tasker to cut the brightness to zero when the sceen is off.

Yesterday I got 13 and a half hours out of 50% of my battery before I set it on the wireless charger.

I get 5+ hours SOT and 2+ days use with stock kernel just fine...

I've seen in other threads that people have proved that the battery can last longer than the s4.

I'm just about at 9 hours. Just casual browsing xda forums and 5-10 mins at a time.
1.5hrs screen time and only just dropped to 86% while writing this.

I get around 2-3 hours of screen time. If you don't mess with your phone and install custom kernels and undervolt and all that, I guess that's that you get. I would say battery is comparable to the iPhone 5s.
This is with sync off and location off btw.

I'm getting excellent battery life as well. On days of light usage I don't even need to plug it in when I go to bed, I just top it up while I get ready for work in the morning. On days when I use it heavily, I still have 30% or more left before putting it down for the night. Screen time varies from 2-5 hours, depending on what exactly I've been doing and how good my signal is. I have no issues at all with the battery performance, it's awesome.
Any bets on when dicecuber will appear in this thread to tell us how absolutely terrible the battery is?

Using Franco kernel, 4.5hrs SOT is a walk in the park. It's better than my SGS4 I came from.

Battery life is not a worry I get better time on this then any of my previous phones and have no worry's of it lasting through the day. Although I am a little jealous of my wife's insane battery life on her xperia z1.
