I know there's already a battery life thread, but I thought it would be interesting to have one where people also included the amount of time their display was turned on for, since that seems to be the primary source of battery drain for me at least. Also if you wouldn't mind posting the average brightness it was set at, as well as any custom rom, kernel, or battery saving techniques you're using, that would be cool as well. And if you have a really long display on time, like over 5 hours, maybe you could include a screenshot fort verification too if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!
The most I've ever got is about 5 hours or so of display on time at around 25% brightness with sky ics 7.4, faux kernel 009m, -50 global uv, 1.5ghz CPU speed, and juice defender ultimate with 15 min sync interval. I can't find the screenshot for that one, but here's one that's almost as good:

These are my specs.
-QuickWiz Rom
-009m Faux kernel ( 1.242ghz max - 384mhz min / -75mV )
Undervolted using Fauxclock (Y)
-Froze bunch of bloatware using Titanium backup
SkyCoke ROM
Faux 009u Kernel
-100mV UV, 1.188 gHz max clock
No JuiceDefender or anything else extra besides whatever came with the ROM

Updated to the latest Infused version, SetCPU was set to min 100 Mhz and max 800 Mhz, used JuiceDefender on the basic setting, used Battery Calibration once, and screen brightness at 40%. Battery life is absolutely intense, I unplugged it around 7:30 this morning and its been slowly draining since. Fast forward 19 hours and its still at 66 percent, after texting and playing Words with Friends and reading Engadget very frequently, as well as working on a QuickOffice doc for a few hours.

Well no wonder you got these good results. Try down at 600 and you might get even better

I tried 600MHz but that seemed a bit too laggy. I have the Galaxy Core live wallpaper and it seemed too laggy with it set to 600 haha. Oh, but I forgot to mention that I have SetCPU set so that on screen off, processor goes down to 100min, 200max. So I think that that setting, combined with Juice Defender shutting off data when the screen is off, gives you a major battery extension. I can only imagine with one of the extended batteries!
this should be posted in general
I want to try a kernel compatible with CM9 on my i9020 with a slow refresh rate to test how many battery can be saved.
I see in bedalus kernel comparison that AniDroid Hardened is a 45fps one but seem a little out of date.
Any other kernel with 45-50fps refresh?

That's funny. I was trying to get Anidroid 45fps to work with some of the new IMM76I ROMs this morning, but had no luck.
The best battery saving kernel is still matr1x, even with nominal voltages and 56fps.
I`ll take a test with the Matrix kernel.
Have you ever compared battery drain of two version of the same kernel with the only difference of display refresh?
I`m very curious to understand how much this parameter can be helpful in a battery saving setup

Yes, as you can see in the post above, and i recently tested 56 and 50 hz versions of trinity.
It definitely affects power!
Yes, I've just readed it on the battery drain thread. I have definitely to try this.
So I'm running the 7/15 CM9 rom and today my battery is draining at an alarming rate. The highest percentage isn't even screen its phone? File attached. What is up with this? I've made one 2 minute call ALL day and sent about 20 text messages.

Have you tried InstigatorX's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721235 I've heard that it gives great battery life.
I would ask this in the CM9 thread in the general section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710289 if that doesn't help.
It could be wakelock issues, try to use BetterBatteryStats to monitor the phone's usage. It'll tell you which program or service is using battery. Could also try rebooting. When the phone doesn't go to deepsleep it stays on a specific frequency (CPU) and slowly drains battery. Programs can also cause draining if they're constantly syncing and using mid frequencies rather than low level frequency. Each frequency level (192MHz, 1GHz, 1.5GHz) has different voltages so if it stays at a specific frequency it can drain a lot. CPUSpy is also a simple program that monitors how much time the phone stays at a specific frequency. If your phone has been on for 8hours and 7hours is on deepsleep then there is no wake issues. If it says 8hours and 5minutes is on deep sleep but 384MHz (or any) and you don't have any programs on then you have wake issues or a service is constantly using your resources.
Anybody knows any custom kernel for lollipop 5.0.2 single sim? Recently been playing around with the cpu governor and i/o scheduler and i want to try out other new and tweaked governors which seems to improve the performance and stability. Just a side note, i got about 4hrs on screen time with wifi for my phone so is this good?
i hope someone develop a new kernel for the one E8
about battery life i get about 5:30 ~ 6:20 screen on time on wifi

Are you rooted? Did you tweaked your phone? Do you let the battery saver to limit the cpu to lower frequency to get more battery life? I find that having to limit the cpu makes the phone laggy when multitasking.

Since I see so much Ignorant in the Battery thread, I like to point out (rant) some things..
1. A person 6 hour of Screen On Time usage is different from person to person.
2. Temperature can have a great affect on battery life.
3. Signal strength can have a great affect on battery life.
So with that in mind, I suggest everyone try to do a PC Mark bench, it is fair and give people a much better idea of what of what they should be getting. To do this test here are the few settings you need to set
1. BRIGHTNESS AT 23-25% (EYEBALL IT)
2. Wifi on
3. do not disable Mobile data or sync
4. Clear all RAM before start
below are the CONTROL numbers from a stock rom (pictures are from greenbot.com)

Is this ok? Running skyhigh 2.1 and darthstalker v4 rom. A57 cores @ 2.4ghz and gpu @ 852mhz with a -75mv uv all accross the board.
I ll post my battery result as soon as i can, meanwhile here s my previous battery result i got a few days ago... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63851201
Here s my pcmark battery score too. I started it from 90% after already using the phone for a whole hour (sot of about 1h6mins)
