Think Gingerbread will improve Thunderbolt Battery Life?

^^^^
I really hope so. Even with custom ROMs, i am not seeing a major improvement in battery life. Phone looks very pretty though.lol
Ive been reading about the nexus Gingerbread update.. and the reaction has been mixed so far.

I'm not understanding everyone's issue with battery life.. Even stock.
I am running the seido 1600mAh battery but its only a tiny bit bigger so..

Yes it probably will. Gingerbread has features etc that will make it better. However, we will not see that until gingerbread kernel source is actually released from HTC. CM7 will be using the kernel from 2.2 until then.

A custom rom won't help battery life that much. What you need is a custom kernel and to tweak setcpu settings. I'm getting much bettery battery life on the 1.5 ghz oc kernel running @ 1.4 and 300 mhz with screen off then I was stock

Custom ROMs will help when we get closer to AOSP. Right now we are just kind of fading out Sense but, taking it out completely should help a little.
But getting back to what you said, right now, custom Kernels are the number 1 way to save battery.

Wait. You overclocked and are getting better battery life? Crazy. I just rooted yesterday, and this is my first day with my set CPU settings. Hopefully it helps, but we'll see.

I don't understand how people think just because the Froyo kernel source came out that we should all be getting 3 days out of our battery now. The INC I had wasn't giving constant great battery life until about 6 months after I got it. It will take time for the battery life to improve. And these roms aren't highly modified at all, it hasn't even been a month, we are all learning about this phone and what it can and can't do. Give it some time and you will see battery life improve, it's not like GB will drop and everything will magically get better.

I don't think battery life is too bad. Better then my old EVO with a larger battery. But I suspect that is because of Sprint's network problems. Made that poor EVO work way too hard for data.

I flashed my kernel recently and created a setcpu profile for 245mhz min/max when the screen is off using "smartass" governor and over all i am using the smartass governor max cpu 768mhz. Battery still kinda crappy. Even just playing mp3s the battery drains fast. Ive been keeping the phone in exclusively 4g and now i am trying 3g. I get very solid 3g/4g coverage in NYC. I donthave many apps running in thebackground. Just have my google sync on and i think facebook... thats about it. Also keep my screen around 20-30%. Ive also done a few full discharge cycles on the battery info and deleted the battery from the CWM recovery menu.
**P.S.- Sorry if i am sounding impatient. I am new to the Android camp. I came from the iphone 3g.iPhone 4 camp. Battery is something i never really had to worry about. Just sucks i have to be more proactive to make my battery last me through the day. Luckily i have access to chargers everywhere... but i dont always want to have my phone plugged in.

Same here, came from the blackberry camp where 3 days per charge is normal. My battery life isn't bad to start with (9hrs) and is only getting better with the new kernel. Still, i think every little bit helps so i hope gingerbread comes sooner rather than later.

In all reality. The screen is what takes up most of the power. I think for me, typically the screen is around 60 - 70% of my battery power. This is a big 4.3 in screen. Having chargers is handy, and the faster the charger, the less you have to have it plugged in. Are there any reliable 2 amp chargers out there?

Ya. Oc kernals usually undervolted and have other battery tweaks. Its setting run real low with screen off. I have my brightness kinda low. Screen off thirty seconds but that's about it. I work in 4g area live in 3g. 4g is tolerable now with this kernel
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Smartass is still kinda broke from what i can tell. I found luck using undervolted kernels specifically the 1.2ghz kernel from DAS BAMF and Adrynalyne's kernel too

gingerbread seems to have very good power improvements. idle power when phone is asleep seem to be extrremenly low, around 3mA. this is very good and will help you guys when you get GB.

possibly a parallel...
One year age, I bought the HD2 on T-Mobile. Guess what? Poor battery life, etc. Then the update came through and battery life was BETTER. Today, I now am with Verizon and the Thunderbolt. Battery life could be better. And Android 2.3 will be released soon to the Thunderbolt. Will that help battery life. Hope so. But if not, I can get a spare/bigger battery. Admitted, we have no 4G in my home area, so I do not know what impact that has, but my battery life seems like it is improving just because of the charge/discharge cycling that happens normally. And yes, I'm also aware that both are HTC devices but running different OS's, but an update is just that, an update.

I think that it's sad that HTC put in such a low capacity battery and I don't think software optimizations will cure a poor hardware decision. A true OEM 1600 or 1700 mAh battery will make some improvement which seems doable. My Droid 1 had significantly better battery life. If you use 4G as I do, it drains the battery quickly. I use my TB like a Blackberry for email, checking one account every 10 minutes which is far less than Blackberry. Still, using 4G for this, music for my 30 minute commute in both directions and a few other things puts me at below 50% battery life by the work day afternoon. I don't know why HTC put in such a small battery and I'm guessing it has some connection with why they had so many extended batteries to sell on launch day. I have one. Makes the phone noticeably larger, not as bad as I thought although unnecessary... but the phone does last a long time and no worry about battery life.

Android 2.3 is supposed to come to us in Q2, so in the next 2 months. It will more than likely have sense, so it will therefor still drain battery.
My girlfriend pulled 36 hours yesterday on her TB, completely stock. She stayed at a relative's house who didn't have a micro usb cable, so she couldn't charge it. I am pulling a consistent 22-24 hours. IDK what you guys are doing with your phones, but stop it.
I think a big issue with many people's battery life is this is their first smartphone, or first android device. You are going to use it much more than you need to... lol

Wow 36 hours that's unreal I can pull up to 16 hours Max

12 hours on battery?

Hey all,
I'm averaging about twelve to thirteen hours on battery. Is that normal?
I only let Gmail sync and I go stretches without even using the phone. Never watch videos or anything intense.

I can make 18-24 hours with the usage above,i.e, minimal.

Battery life was ~12 hr. for me on stock ROM with no special attention paid to what's syncing. Since then I've gone to a custom ROM and kernel that allow under-volting the phone to extend battery life. I haven't measured yet but I'd guess I'm in the 16-20 hr. range now.

I'm running 2.3.4 on a custom ROM. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?

well if you're on a custom rom, then things vary. me myself i get awful drainnage on some and excellent on others. one thing you could do is that you could try using netharcy's kernels or the UV trinity one. be sure to re-calibrate your battery and wipe battery in recovery.
(you dont have to recalibrate battery everytime u flash a rom but i just recommended it so that you can monitor your battery usage more effectively).

I'm easily achieving 24-30 hours with my Nexus S with 9 hours on display, 4 hours of music-listening, 2 hour of voice calls, 4 hour wi-fi browsing.
Running 2.3.4, Netarchy 1.3.1 CFS, zipaligned deodexed custom ROM. 3G is off though, because in my country (and my carrier) 3G doesn't work on the 900mhz band the Nexus S uses.

What is this Netarchy you speak of? My ROM is deodexed and zipaligned.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Netarchy is a kernel for the phone.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936219

Netarchy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936219 is a replacement for the stock kernel, and it allows under-volting. The idea is to run the phone CPU at a lower voltage, thereby extending battery life. Under-volting has to be included in the kernel when it's compiled, i.e. you can't do it with just any kernel. Trinity UV is another kernel that does UV.
The easiest way to configure the degree of under-volting using Netarchy is Jonathon Grigg's new Proton app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091382

Okay, I flashed the (stable) Netarchy kernel for my phone and it seems twice as "snappy" but haven't been able to test the battery life yet. I cleared the battery stats in Recovery and am charging it right now. We'll see!...

Remember, after the first clearance of the battery stats, the data needs to be re-populated, so you won't have good battery life until after a few charge cycles. Let your battery drain dead, charge it to 100% without interrupting it, then repeat this process somewhere the next few days.
Report back after at least 4 full charge cycles (from 0-100%, not necessarily until your battery is depleted, you can charge at say 70% to 100% and that counts as 30% Each 100% is a complete charge cycle)

hey guys, my phone is in stock, rooted, and I also getting 12-13 hours under medium/heavy use, I want to try this kernel, so what I have to do is download the zip (already did) file and apply it on the recovery menu right?

and what happens when I want to the original kernel?
ps: sorry 4 the noobness... lolz

Using Netarchy and undervolting 25mw my phone can standby 24ish hours on one charge. I can go 12 hours of heavy usage (4 hours screen time etc).

well that's pretty much what I did yesterday without the netarchy mod. I disconnected my cellphone at 12md, I listened like 4 hours of music, and also checked my email, twitter and facebook, many times, (I was in class so I was super-bored) all in wifi. and with my 3g activated. I think I'm going to disable the 3g when I'm on wifi. I think is kinda logical.

That's INSANE! :O
Mine never achieved half as good as that! my 18 hours include only 2 or 2 1/2 hours of display-on time and usually around half an hour of music!
Are you doing an overboard UV to achieve that?

Once again this is confusing because we have both S and 4g phones here, and they use different technologies and have differing battery lives.
I do hope they have separate forums for these soon...
Anyway, my Sprint 4G got 10 hours tops, usually more like 8 with average usage. (calls, gmail sync, internet, etc. throughout the day.)

Going on 18 hours today on my S4G with moderate use. Calls, texts, browsing, music. My battery is reporting 18% left right now. Was also without service for nearly an hour (inside a building) and we all know what that does to your battery.

is this considered decent battery life?

ok using wiskey rom with bali kernel stock file system for now havent done the battery reset sence flashing this rom as of yet. Took phone off charger at 600 am pst its now 1003 pm pst and still have 19 percent battery thats after leaving facebook running in the background yahoo messenger texting most of the day 4 hours worth of phone calles browsing the net listening to music for 40 mins just wasnt sure if thats conisdered light or moderate usage and if thats considered decent battery life?

I'd say that is pretty moderate use, although i'd advise you not to leave background apps running since it drains battery. Talking on the phone will take you down quite a notch on the battery life, same goes for your data usage. I usually get about a single day out of my charged battery with normal use though so you're fine. (I'm running stock w/root- so considering you're running a custom rom i think that's magnificent)
EDIT: I just rer-read and saw you're using the bali kernel lol

Yeah, thats waaayyy better than what I've been getting. I swear there's something wrong with my phone. Unplugged at 9am, had to recharge by 8pm. Didn't really do much either, just messed with it for like an hour trying to fix the trigger theme for frost.

the whole point is trying to kill the battery lol thats how i use my phone and keep in touch with people when im not home so i do leave those apps running on puropose so i can keep in touch phone is idleing right now at 18 percent still lol mm might play a game to try n kill it further well thanks for letting me know that its considered decent i guess after it dies ill calibrate the battery and see what i get after

so ive been trying to figure out how to get the best battery life. i saw that someone got 50+ hours on their phone in the battery life bali kernel thread! they were using juice defender. i tried it on my sisters phone and it definitely makes a difference. the only problem that i am having with juice defender is the issue with cpu speed. i am oc'ing at 1.2ghz, but juice defender is always changes it back to 1ghz...at which point tegrak tries to get it back to 1.2. lol. anyone know how to get past this in the free version? i dont want it impacting tegrak.

I was the one who got 50+ hours.. Just to clarify, I'm not using the bali kernal. I'm on Whitehawkx stock Deodexed KD1 ROM with root, with a lot of bloat removed. My phone is also only about 3-4 weeks old (got it as a refurb from Tmobile), so maybe the fresh battery makes a difference.
As far as JD, I'm not sure how to get around the overclock issue (I'm not OC'd), but I will buy the ultimate version and poke around a bit to see if there are settings for that.
My next charge didn't last as long because I used the phone much more over the holiday weekend, but I still got a bit more than 24 hrs.
This latest charge is going strong though, I'm at 49 hours right now and still have 64% battery left. Haven't used wifi or gps on this charge at all, but did use bluetooth for about an hour or so yesterday while driving. had 14 calls so far in these 2 days (one on the bluetooth), but none of the calls were that long (maybe 5 mins?).
the stats screen currently shows:
display 43%
Cell standby 32%
Phone idle 16%,
Voice Calls 9%
I made a post in the bali thread about things I did to help with battery life, but maybe it would be better if there is a dedicated battery life thread somewhere?

I'm running the free version of jd with it not interfering with my oc (1.2 right now) and I have jd set to "aggressive".

[Q] Best Noted Rom/Kernel Combo for Battery Life?

I have a Nexus S 4G. Right now i'm running CM7 with a Trinity Kernel. so far i get about 8~ hours of battery out of it. I'm really convinced there is a better combo out there. Any takers? Preferably GB, but I can deal with ICS if it means a longer battery life. On screen time is about 2-3 hours throughout a charge. I know there is something out there! help me out XDA!

Dude.... 8 hours.... I hope you mean screen time..... else everything would be better than what you have now!

The easiest way is to download the battery calibration app off Google Play and follow the instructions.

or do it manually through CWM recovery.
1. Fully charge your battery.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Go to Advanced->Wipe Battery Stats and reboot.
4. Recommended to let your battery fully discharge and then fully recharge without break
5. Profit.

i calibrated my battery, so hopefully it increases the battery life! i would still like rom/kernel combo recommendations though thanks!

Kalim´s CM9 NIGHTLY 20120310 has amazing battery life with standard kernel. Much better then any ROM before.

Don't measure you battery life in terms of time since last charge. Measure it in terms of on-screen time.
2-3 hours of ON SCREEN TIME is average battery life.
I can roughly get about 4-5 hours if my brightness is down to level 6 (using brightness levels.) In my opinion the ROM doesn't really affect the battery life at all. Mainly the kernel you are using, scheduler, govenor, maximum frequency etc. I recommend using the Matr1x kernel as bedalus has tested that it uses the least amount of power of all kernels under similar conditions.
15 hours,1d, 8hrs since last charge ~ all don't mean a thing since your phone shouldn't drop any significant amount of percentage during DEEP SLEEP. When your phone is ON (screen on) that is when your battery should deplete.
If I leave my phone overnight for about 10 hours, I would drop maybe 1%. That's because the screen wasn't on; no activity needed significant power.

My on screen time is 3-4 hours, last time I checked. The crazy stuff is when my phone screen is off. Last night I went to bed for 9 hours battery was at 85. Woke up at 84. Two nights ago I went to bed for 10 hours with 90%. Woke up at 90%. I've never had such great off screen profiles. I'm going to calibrate the battery today and hope for something better.

Anyone having crappy battery life with ICS?

Just curious is it just me or does the Skyrocket have ****tier battery life running on ICS compared to it running on Gingerbread? Anyone else having battery problems. I've been running ICS on my I727r for 2 days now and the battery life is very questionable. Probably a battery stat reset will work :S

Same, my i727r battery life is horrible since i flashed ICS.
I have noticed that my android system is pulling a lot of juice compared to GB. I made some changes today like freeze all the bloat + installed UCLC4 modem. And wiped battery stats + complete drain and discharge of the battery. Lets see if it get better after a few cycles.

My battery seems a lot better! Way way way better. 25 minutes of web and its still full!

Battery has been much better for me with ICS.
Freezing tons of bloat helps..

My battery life has been horrible on ICS but when I look at the battery thing, Face Unlock used 35% of my batter (when my batter was 5% left) o-o it takes THAT much?

My battery life is absolutely amazing with ICS.
I have the stock rom debloated completely, and a lot of junk is disabled. Coupled with turning off auto brightness and leaving data off when i don't use it, the battery just chugs along.
This morning I got in my car at 7 AM, started playing music full blast through the stereo for an hour. Got to class, played some temple run, approximately a half hour worth. 30 texts or so, one 1 minute phone call. (data was off the entire time, it keeps facebook from butting in from behind) My battery has literally only gone down 10%, and it's 1 PM
I'm in love.

Seems fine here, I usually have it plugged in but today am testing it without. The couple charge blips are from when I had to get some files off of it.
I froze a bunch of the AT&T bloatware, have had Wi-fi, BT, GPS enabled the entire time. Moderate/light use... I've attached some screens.
I'm running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567817 with the flashable ICS modem.

My battery has been horrible but it's only been a day for me and my signal has been fluctuating a lot on day one. It's stabilized now so we'll see after a few days of use. But right now it is horrible.

It seems mine is doing worse.
But I have been adding a lot of stuff since this is my first time rooting.
I am about to get a battery depleted(at 12% right now) and reset the battery statistics and install the OEM battery.

I thought there was a lot of debating over deleting the battery stats, i remember an article from a google programmer saying that it actually decreases battery performance...i personally stopped doing it a year ago and noticed a better batter experience, most of the time bad battery comes from a bad flash or apps that run in the backround and use location services

My battery life was horrible with ICS so im back to GB. At work with phone in pocket for 2hrs and was already down to 75% off killing battery and charging it fully next day. When I got home after 8hrs of work already at 50% and thats when its in sleep mode. Using it I would drain 1% every couple minutes definitly bloat. Might try new debloated ones but kinda skeptical since GB gives me amazing battery life.

Well condiering I have never reset them and did this first and only flash of the ICS leak, I'm hoping it helps out. We'll see what happens.
I have Juicedefender turning everything off while sleeping(set widgetlocker to deinied so when locked, widget locker stays active to be ready, and juicedefender see's that and turns off data)
On my 2100mAh nexus battery I barely got over a day(was getting 36-40 hours on GB)
Either way, I have two batteries so I'll deal with it until either an official ICS release or a new rom with better battery performance comes around.

I also have the nexus battery. Def have less battery life with this version of ics .
It could be the algorithm the use. At the start of the day is slowly draws down. As the day goes on it seems to drain faster

Actually, I have been having the Best battery life to date. I will post my list of APK's that I removed. I don't do FB or anything like that, so not sure if that is affecting it. Also, in a non LTE area. on the UCLA3 kernel, I was absolutely getting horrid battery life.

I live in an LTE area and I am getting almost a full day of use. Never got that with GB. I keep wanting to charge it, but I dont have to.
I do have Juice Defender running though, and it disables my data in 15 or 30 min intervals when the screen is locked. And I have SetCPU which limits the CPU to a max of 384 when the screen is locked.

Battery discharge isn't a linear function my friend.
