even with ICS, is determining how much battery life is left.
I could keep a better tab on my battery life with my watch. It's the worst when it's full and it's empty. It'll be at 100% for 2 hours and 20 minutes later it's at 89%. At the end, when you are at 10%, it's over, you might have 5 mins lefts or 60...who the hell knows.
Very true. I was at 15% for about 20 min but went from 100% to 30% in an hour

I hardly agree to the battery percentage because it depends on your usage ... there might be a number of unused apps running in the background which might eat up your battery... delete unused apps/widgets...

I keep my phone very barebones. I use two widgets and I have 20 apps.
When I'm down to 10%, I can have everything off and it will still drop down to below 5% within the half hour.
I've come to the conclusion that Android just sucks at this to ignore the percentages and to keep it as charged up as possible.
On my HTC wildfire with like 5 widget and over 150 apps installed it easily crossed one and half days....

I used to have this issue with Android with past phones like the Epic 4G and the Nexus S 4G. I could be at 70% and reboot the phone and all of a sudden it's now at 52%. I could reboot phone 5 times and get 5 different values. It was all so tiring.
Now i've since moved on to the Epic Touch running Blazer ROM and since i've been on this combo, i've not noticed this phenomenon anymore. The battery guage is spot on. I could reboot a billion times and the accuracy doesn't deviate one bit. Could it be that the dev of this ROM has some super mojo/juju that just works? (I hope so).
Alpha Review ROM is not completed, all guys using review HTC Rom have same problems. Keep remembering that it is still a review ROM

The newer builds don't have a battery issue, most, including myself, get a 3mA drain while asleep which is as good if not better than most other ROMs, sense included.

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.
So back to the original question....

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?

Not sure what I could have done but since yesterday my battery life has been nuts. I installed and am using a livewallpaper but that's it. Phone has been on for 5 days and it just got better yesterday. Is it even possible that lwp could help battery life?
Doing well today too will post screenshot later on. I've been using it as normal so its not due to change in usage at all. Again the only link I can find is the lwp!!
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Wow. That's amazing! Wish I got that kind of usage!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I'm pretty sure live wallpaper won't be saving you battery, having a constant animation on your background is only going to increase your CPU load and RAM usage, which will surely impact on your battery life.
What ROM/ kernal are you using?

One of the most effective things I have ever done for battery life is, after the first full drain/charge Calibration I did four more full drain/full charges before using normally. Then I remained patient with imperfect battery life until those steps were done.
Battery life is great.

Jealous!
Wish I got those kind of results. After the update to 2.3.4 my battery life has been terrible and nothing I seem to do is helping
It simply looks like you've been on wifi a lot. It's known that being on wifi puts A LOT LESS strain on your battery than does using the network.
Same here battery life is not as good as expected but I guess there's not much we can do, either buy a much bigger capacity battery or be contended with what the stock could offer.

How much screen in time? It can last forever on stand by.

This is what I have now. With just casual texting and facebook, auto sync is off on all accounts except weather for the widget , no games. So I'm sure by the end of the day ill only get atleast 8hrs on my battery if I get lucky. From 100% to 65% in 3hrs I don't know if its good or not but oh well what can we do.

Yeah wifi and wifi calling help a ton. This is today with hardly any wifi and a little more usage. Still it gets me through most days from waking up to sleeping.

me too have a great battery life
since rooted and using leedroid ROM, my phone could last 12 hours with casual fb, sms, and calling. with some note-taking.
Got the Anker, and haven't really been following their recommended instructions. I guess I'll suck it up for the next week and just do it.
I'm 100% stock and unrooted but using LPP instead of Sense. That's it.

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.
This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

Check and let me if this helps ....
Go to settings --- battery --- open apps individually and restrict background data of apps which you do not want to use data while not in use.
Also, keep screen brightness to 50%- 70% max.
Switch off data when not required.

If you had started with a full battery, rather than with a reboot, I think it's either an old battery which is losing it, or something is heavily draining it.
Only 16 minutes of screentime is really low. Guys get to 4 hours but about 2 hours is the avg.
If its the original, some 2 years old, battery, I would suspect it.
Can you provide some more details? Cpu,gpu settings, battery age.. etc?

According to the screenshot, he lost 20% starting from 27%.
It would be interesting to see the partial wakelocks screen.
In standby my phone drains around 0.9%/hour (click here to see what I am running).
