Mine is around 2 hours too. It seems pretty similar for most Android phones I've owned.
well if u find that slow i sometimes got the warning that the charger cant deliver the amps to charge so even on charger it discharges dont worry its normal when out it goes that fast i guess i usually go to sleep when i plug it in and turn it off
Mine takes around 4 :/

Yes i used cellphones before , before this the andriod device i had was Dell Streak 5 , which used to get 100% in 20minutes and gave me onscreen time of about 5hours xD , thats why wanted to make sure that the 2+ hours is normal
2 Hours is a little fast. Mine usually takes around 3 hours when charging at 15% and below.

I usually get around a days worth of battery life with medium to heavy usage..
Last night i charged my phone 100% and when i woke up after 5 hours it was completely out of Battery.. I didnt use it overnight.. Any idea what could have caused this??
The phone too wasnt awake..
My phone is around 1 month old..
Edit: Unrooted phone
Are did you flash a new rom? If you did you would have to re-calibrate your battery

Could you have left something running in the background, a game, or WiFi?
Or did it even charge.... Could the cord be plugged out?

Though i would like to add that i did add a new Thyparancy Skin a couple of days ago and made a custom lock ring..
But a Skin shouldnt cause problems should it??
Because i have seen people use them without any problem whatsoever

Nothing of that sort..
I did charge it 100% and am sure of that.. Plus i wasnt playing anything and even wi-fi, gps and bluetooth were off..
In battery usage it is even showing as asleep and screen off..
faulty battery buddy it seems....I am also using the same theme as yours and the phone has 2 hrs of on screen time
Ok for you guys having battery life problems Here is what I did .My phone was dead in six hours. After doing this I am at 2% per hours no problems. Even though I have only one sync which is HTC mail on demand I did not set times within the mail app to sync you need to set those parameters to only sync once every two hours in peak hours and one every 6 hours in offpeake time. I found all this out by using better battery stats partial wakelocks and current widget I hope this helps a few people! I unplugged my phone at 8:45 AM yesterday and am at 42% right now so It is running like a champ.
Hey guys... I just wanna know how long does it take your sensation to drain your battery while your screen-on... I have my brightness set to 50% and after 2 hours of screen-on, the battery is dead... I mean full charge to shutdown... Please share your experience and some advise to improve this... Thanks in advance...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Depends on other factors too but my screen on time usually falls somewhere between 3-4 hrs. However, like I said that is not the only thing effecting your battery life.
Well, watching a 40 minute TV show on mine uses 20% of battery with screen set to 100% brightness, so 2 hours should leave about 40% of battery.
This would suggest there's either something else using your battery, or there's something wrong with your phone/battery
5 hours if I'm really conservative with the brightness.
Sigh... i guess there is really something wrong with mine.. and i can't really find what is eating my battery... When it's idle with 3g on, it does not consume anything at all, may be just 3% for 3 hours.. but when i start to turn on the screen, battery life begins to drain so fast...and that is only at 50% brightness... This is just frustrating.. anyways, thanks for sharing guys... Much appreciated

It really depends on how u use ur phone, like me for ex. I use it as a music player also, so say when I'm driving I'm playing music bt screen is not on so by the time actual screen time is on, batt will have drained some thus giving me less display time per charge. (or playing a game). There's been a time I got a lil over 4 hours bt dint play music/games tho. And my fone is always on auto brightness

My battery drains more when its on standby. When its on it will drain less

i have it since one week then i play too much with it ... 2 or 3 hours
i tried too much rom and to much kernel
Can anyone confirm that setting the brightness to auto will save more power?.. i read something in the other thread that it will consume more power because it will always try to sense which is the suitable brightness for the current environment you are into... Correct me if i'm wrong please...

Depends how I use my phone, and also how good the signal is. I would say 4 - 5 hours on average. I got 5 hrs 10 mins the one day last week
Screen brightness set around 30%.
That's nice... I envy you having able to squeeze 5 hours of your screen-on time..

Always set to auto brightness, feels like no matter what I do with the phone whether it's heavy gaming or light usage, the screen-on time gets to about 3 hours before the battery goes.

Low brightness, but that's still pretty amazing.
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!!

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.

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.

Good battery life here, 18 hours use with ~25% left when i plugged in last night. Rooted running Revolution HD ROM over clocked at 1.56GHz
Using Leedroid and a 7 quid 1900mA battery off Amazon. Auto sync off a few phone calls moderate to high texting and tweeting. A little gaming.
I can easily get over 2 days on 1 charge
I'm at 6% after only being on for 3:56 right before that I went to recovery and wiped the battery stats and then the battery calibration blah I just got this battery brand new like maybe a week ago its an HTC stock battery at 4200-4300mV

Ok good just making sure its not messed up and Idk why but to me the whole 4200mV when fully charged seemed high I mean its at 3900 when charging Idk lol but thanks guys

I usually top it about 4213mv when I'm fully charged.
Mine jumps back and fourth between 4200 and 3900 also.
Okay good I never took notice with my other battery and Idk just thought it could be a high number xD

May I ask what app(s) you're using to generate your battery data (graph and calibration)?
Battery calibration app and the stock setting battery information on abso 3.2
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Using the phone with screen on for 4 hours and whatever apps or games you're playing + wifi or GPS or data can definitely kill your battery in 4 hours. You can do the while calibration method but if you've already done that then nevermind. If you're not using your phone for the 4 hours and it died that fast then yes something is wrong.

Wow that's crazy! It seems that the phone is in almost constant use for 4 hours straight! Wifi was always on, screen is almost always on, and it's awake almost all the time. I think the battery is doing well then. Just don't go crazy with it too much.
I wanted to get an idea of how long it takes people to charge up their phones? I have noticed that my phone takes a long time. 4 hours our more usually. I'm using the stock charger with stock battery. Any body else having this problem?

Try restarting the phone. For me after this is done, charging time improves significantly. Don't know why but it works.
My phone charges in about 4 hours or so. However, my car charger does it in half the time. It may be the lame charger that comes with the phone that is the problem.
