Just loaded up weapon 3.0 r1 on wife's phone. Will have to see. Are u using juice defender?

No juice defender. I just turn 4g and wifi off when i dont need it. I text alot and surf the net.

Not bad. The most I've seen is 3 days. I bet the limit can be pushed to 4.

Is there anyway to hide the custom icons when you go to the phone settings on this rom? I really think it's a great rom, but the icons are ugly as hell (IMO, no offense)

Using CM7 stable with Faux123's DS CM7 kernel, and I get good battery life out of it. With medium usage (phone calls, music, web browsing, light gaming) I'll still have about 50% at the end of the day (I unplug my phone at about 6 AM.) And yes, I am aware that the DS kernels don't have the most accurate readings.
I ordered the 3500 Mah extended battery recently, should be here about Wednesday. Hopefully I can get even better battery life out of it.

Whats the point of having yur phone last 3 days with no use? Hell i'm happy if my phone can last at least 12 hours even on my 3500mah extended battery since i'm on it like cheese on pizza.

I guess, whatever you consider "usage". This one was over the last long weekend, when I went to Niagara. Needles to say, I used the GPS and camera (never had a falls' view room before) heavily, and I kind of expected them to be the most battery intense applications... I bet I can get 4 days out of it (because I can)

got this phone from WIND not too long ago. so far the battery life is dreadful. need to charge it twice a day. using juice defender and still can't figure out why it's this bad. uninstalled all big apps that run in the background (games), did a complete battery drain a few times, and still no luck. battery life goes down 10% after 15 minutes of light browsing...

One of the reasons I rom-ed.

Btw, this phone gets 6-8 hours of pure usage. 2-4 hours of intense gaming. All the big numbers means people are just stretching it.

Im on wind as well and out of the box batter life was disgusting w/o juice defender. i've been playing around with different roms and kernels trying to see which i got the best battery life with. It was decent on cm7.1 and i tried eaglesblood with the one of morphics battery safe kernels (but had ridiculous instability with it). I tried weapon3.0 today but i found the battery drained rather quickly. I've settled at eagles blood 2.4 with the kernel it came with. What are you guys using to get 3 days?

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
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!

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.

I don't see you showing a better screenshot.
I have never been over 24 hours with my normal usage.With heavy usage it's maybe 18 or less hours.I really don't understand people say they have still %54 battery life after 30 hours since they unplug the battery.
Are you connecting continously on wifi/3g?
Are you getting gmail/facebook/twitter synch.about hourly?
Are you surfing on web min.1 hours in a day?
These are what i do with juice defender 15.minutes interval connection with not too much talk on phone.
If you do these and your battery goes 2 days,please tell me how to do.

For the most part, people don't use their phone. I don't have a picture of it, but yesterday I had 32% left when I started charging my phone, and it's up-time was 2 days and 2 hours. That was only possibly because my total screen on time was only 1.5 hours—in 2 days, remind you. I also disable Wifi, 3G, etc. when I'm not using it.
This is what i mean.We are not observing stand-by time.We should talk about our battery life according to our usage.

Different people use their phones for different things, and for a largely different amount of time each day. I find the most accurate representation of "daily usage" is to have the time since unplugged and the display on-time figures. Maybe the OP would consider adding a 2 picture requirement for this thread?
Also guys put into consideration extended batteries. I just put one in my evolution and omg incredible I've only lost 20% since 330pm and its now 950pm. running juice defender with tia 337 on evodeck 1.3d

So ok, my screenshot wasn't a typical day of use for me A normal day I would plug in the phone at the end of the day with roughly 25-30 percent left (so on average roughly 14 hours between time unplugged and plugged in). My screen shot was a weekend shot, when I don't use the phone much, as you can tell.
This shot is more typical of a normal day for me.
Miui rom, tiamat kernel, Oc'd 1.2ghz... this was taken a few months back.
I don't know anyone having an Android phone, and to have enough battery for more than 2 days. It's because of the touch screen and hardware, not the OS.
I agree. Its totally pointless having a single screen shot that shows a %.
I think we should ask each person to show the "on" time for the the top 2-3 % hoggers to see how much was actually "used".
This is especially helpful when it comes to the display.
For ex: My screen shot will also show display as 45-50% of the battery hog....BUT I only get 90 minutes of "on" time as opposed to 3-4 hours like many seem to get.
That's at the lowest brightness setting mind you
Also---what device are we using with which rom etc etc might be useful to know as well.
I think the kernel is the biggest indicator. When I run a rom on stock kernel (Sense 2.2 for example) on 1ghz I get about 50% less use (both standby and screen on time) than the same kernel but with overclock and undervolt. Undervolt kernels are really the best thing and I think the time that it takes to tune it to the lowest stable voltages for your specific phone really pay off.
i made a post few months back in the SGS2 forum showing nearly 2 days on battery stats with stock rom (i left my SGS2 at home and carried around my bb the whole weekend)

No, it's the OS. The OS requires insane hw to run smoothly, so you can't blame the hw makers.
On the other hand, I can easily get 2+ days with very light GPS usage, lots of Facebook and web, ton of SMS and Spotify streaming. Of course my OS had about 10 years to mature and doesn't insist on constantly being connected to the 'net. Oh, all this without any programs or custom ROMs or the undervolting nonsense.

Battery life

I'm looking to get a thunderbolt today and was wondering how has every ones battery life been. I'm making the switch from a ip4. So I hope doing the right thing. iOS is just getting so stale I want something new. So has is your battery life once u rooted and on the stock battery.

Battery probably around same or slightly worse, but its 4g and 32 gig, its easily rooted, alot of different roms n looks, its really great, and ive only had 8 days. I am a advanced flasher also, done roms atleast 1000 times.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Thanks. If I can root n get at least 8 hours min. I'm fine. I'm just getting tired of the whole apple experience.
Thats easy, on most 2.1/3.0, aosp, overclocking not necessary, i can get 10-12 hours, n i dont care, i got 3 chargers. Its a good phone imo. U can run 3.5 with beats easy on this phone, but 2.1 with sound enhancer is just s good.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I can get around 7hrs on stock and about 16hrs on extended. Running ICS ROM
Luke
It depends on how u use it.
This is what I have left after few calls, browser, exchange+gmail+Facebook sync & 1 hr of Pandora
Only MIUI ROM so far I could achieve this. The other rom Ive tried is shiftao5p
Lastly if u are in 1-2 bars area, your battery will run out fast

I'm new to the Tbolt as well. Installed the extended battery first thing. As such, device easily lasts all day with heavy use. 40%+/- remains @ end of the day on cm7.
IDK about the battery life on other ROM, but that's what I get.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I bought the rezound battery and noticed a pretty big difference. Also, I finally gave up sense roms and went with liquid smooth 3.2. Battery has been phenomenal. I can get through an entire day, even on 4G and moderate to heavy usage (screen on 4 hours) and not worry about battery until I'm in my bed messing around before I'm about to plug in and fall asleep.
Edit: here is me on wifi all day using up the battery with almost 4 hrs screen on time. On pure 3g 4G I'd be closer to 20-30 percent.
My GF has the extended battery and can go two days without charging (light use)
Loving the phone by by iPhone but anyway. Just rooted and messing around with these roms. Just don't know which one to stick with their are so many.
I'm on the stock rom and with light usage can easily get a full day out of a charge (I'm using the rezound battery now, but was similar with the stock battery). With very light usage, i can even make it overnight and through at least most of the next day on a full charge. Gaming, navigation, or a lot of downloading can run down the battery quickly. My so has an iphone4s and doesn't seem to get a ton better battery life.

Almost 5 hours of display on time. Mix in about 6 hours of sleeping but lots of Texting, rootz, xda, and Twitter. Imo kernel undervolted not overclocked, and 12 hours were in a bad signal area at my work in hospital I am talking -102 so battery could be better.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I get around 8-10 hours on fairly regular use and towards 12 when I use it lightly. The biggest difference maker for me was not JuiceDefender or any battery saver program like that. It was using SetCPU once I rooted my phone and setting a profile up so when my screen is off, the processor drops to the ~200 MHz range. Definitely a must-have program for anyone who is rooted.
i keep everything running at max and carry a second battery pack with me... ill just swap them and am back to 100%... 2 full loads bring me through the day usually.
I suggest you to check this post and these batteries. This will solve any power issues you might have with your Tbolt
The rezound batteries work in the bolt also.

root + SetCPU
Pretzel pretty much hit the nail on the head. Once I rooted the phone I froze all of the stock bloatware, then installed SetCPU. Like Pretzel said, make it so when phone is asleep it only runs @ ~200mhz. Also do small things like turn screen brightness down and make backlight timeout 15 seconds.
Also, I cannot stress this enough
Your battery life will drastically change depending on what apps you have installed. When I download a new app I try to limit it to one at a time and watch my phone for the next few hours and see if my battery is running out quicker than usual. This has happened so many times to me where I install something with a 80% battery and then like 4 hours later its dead.
So with just the stock Rom, rooted, bloatware frozen, SetCPU, and about 60 battery friendly apps, I can get usually around 20 hours with light to moderate use.
The biggest difference on battery drain is if you have LTE enabled. Just download LTE OnOff and only turn it on when needed.

Qcell 3850mah battery tests!

Got this battery today and decided to show it off because I haven't seen too many threads about it.
Review:
So far I can already tell the battery life is much better. I was messing around with some apps with wifi on for 20-30 minutes and the battery was still at 97%. I am running Nexus 4 rom with a overclocked cpu 1.73ghz and a overclocked gpu with about 50% brightness. The bludge on the back isnt as thick as I thought it was and barley adds any bulk... only problem with it is the back cover that comes with it is very bad quality and has cracks on it that are going to break if i try to take it off lol... But for 20$ its still a great deal, and im getting the sedio case which will work on it! Pics coming tomorrow on that so check back...
___________________________________________________________________
"test" ( NOTE THE BATTERY IS NOT CALIBRATED YET! MOST LIKELY WILL INCREASE MORE! )
I used the app "Juice Offender" to drain the battery as fast as possible to calibrate it.
The app is advertised to drain 1%/minute on the average android phone... So far I have been running this app non-stop for 2 hours now and the battery is at 55%.
with the normal battery at 1%/minute the phone would have been dead after 100 minutes, or 1 hour 40 minutes... with the extended battery its still 20 minutes after the normal battery would have died and keeping a good 55%, which means even when its not calibrated it keeps its 3850mah rating which is 2x the capacity of the original battery!
Again this is the pic after 2 hours running "Juice offender , which turns the brightness to 100%, wifi on, constantly vibrating, max cpu load ( overclocked ), location services on, camera flash on, and bluetooth on.

Hello I also have this battery and do not feel impressed - the device does not last thru one day even. Have run this about 2 days now.
I am running Collective ICS - do not have over clocking - and the screen is also not set to bright.
I wonder if the low cost battery is any good.

Ok I used to be an avid juice defender user, however it defends juice by shutting off networks and making smart phone dumb phone.

Use the qcell for a week only and break it in, you need to calibrate it. But I have noticed a much improvement in battery life, both in screen on and standby time. 15 hours the second day with 4-5 hours screen on. I could not even get 2 hours screen on, on stock battery.

What was your battery life like?

I just want to know how your battery life would last for you because I would have to charge my phone 3 times a day.
Please post your opinion
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
you are probably a heavy user. I charge my phone (on average) every 2 days.
Not sure what ROM or kernel you're running, but I'm running the latest "Team Acid" version of AOKP with latest kernel it comes with and I have no problems with my battery. Of course I that's just with normal use (texting, calling, viewing xda via app, gtalk and some web browsing). My battery usually still has any where between 30% and 50% by night time when i place on my dock for the night to charge. Time of use is from 5 am to about 9 pm.
The way I use my phone, I was lucky to get through from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. without having to charge with GB and the AntonX kernel. My life was comparable using the stock TeamAcid AOKP ICS ROM and kernel. Undervolting an additional 75 mV, allowing overclocking to 1200 MHz, and using the smartassv2 governor I seem to be able to get through the day, but definitely need to plug in in the evening if I didn't charge during the day.
The biggest run-time improvement for me was a new battery. Even the 1500 mAh Samsung battery I got as a spare was significantly better than my 18-month-old 1650 mAh Samsung that came with my phone.
Better Battery Stats is an indispensable app for gathering information in understanding why your battery life may not be as good as it could be. Looking at the ICS monitor of data usage (or My Data Manager, which will run on GB as well) can provide good insights as well. By watching the output of those, removing/freezing some apps that I don't need that wakelock the phone, setting "quiet hours," turning off WiFI at night, and not dropping to "2G/GSM" for background data transfer, I am typically around 90% charge after ~8 hours of "really idle" overnight. It is a couple percent lower if it is a night that Titanium Backup runs a scheduled backup.
I would get around 15 hours of fairly heavy use. I was running barebones with antonx oc/uv kernel I was undervolted and using the 2300 mah battery

My battery life is unrealistic. This is most the reason I post roms and share them with you. I cannot gauge how well a rom will behave until more "use cases" exercise the phone's abilities.
For one, I don't have t-mobile anymore, so the RIL doesn't behave the way it does on your phone (when you are on t-mobile), because I only get edge. I don't use this phone as my daily driver, so I don't pack the phone up with a bunch of applications or multimedia (videos, mp3s, etc...).
With that my phone gets really great battery life.
Right now my 'herring r7' rom (to be released soon) has me at 3h 16m on battery @ 97%. I'm sure the time will continue to go up and battery usage will slowly decay. I really won't know how it will act until I release it and wait for you guys to respond.
I hope that gives you a little view into why I can't always gauge how a rom is going to act and why it is so important that I get feedback.
Thanks guys bug I'm running the latest Team Acid CM9 with Hefe's kernel and battery life is just terrible, my battery lasts about 4 hrs at 96%. Not sure if its my battery that needs replacing but anyone have suggestions on improving battery life?

I got "better battery stats" from the market.
The developer has a thread somewhere here on xda.
It is a great tool for figuring out what is running so often that is eating your battery.
With that, I've found that doing a factory reset, wiping everything (including my sdcard, after backing it up... of course), makes sure nothing residual is around to make applications go wacky. I don't use TB or any other tools to restore backed up apps. I either do it manually with adb or just reinstall stuff from the market. I never restore data.
Where can I find your new rom when its ready

Battery life means nothing without listing display time. My SGS4G is currently at 5 days. However when I actually used it as my daily phone I would get about 4 hours display over the course of a normal day. 3½ display time if I used it for much gaming or YouTube streaming.

It all depends. Playing HD youtube over 4G with brightness turned up full and checking email every 2 mins, etc is going to kill it a lot faster than data/wifi turned off, screen at the lowest brightness and sitting in your pocket without the screen on. There is no test benchmark to test ROM's for this, because even things like how far you are away from the router, if you're connected B/G/N could all effect the battery life, so it's hard to get a standard test. Here is an average day for me though.
This is Remics, no real tweaks, smartass2 governor running. Few hours of music, pedometer tracking in the background to track walking for an hour or so, bit of surfing, instagram pic taking and uploading, editing for an 30 mins oror so, installed 3 other camera last night and rebooting and playing around, lots of suduko, hour or so of youtube, lots of txting, ummm, tested a wifi calling apps that worked good for about 30mins, I can't remember what else over the past 26hours and still 26% left.
