Thats pretty amazing. Are you using the stock battery? How much did you actually use your phone during that time?

Stock battery moderate use, check email, played some games, browsed web xda, texted etc. I just recall in the past my battery would die on 4g super quick after a few hours even when barely using it. So its a fantastic improvement.

That is certainly better than what I can report running Thundershed 1.2. For me, it is down to 40 - 50% in 24 hours (I charge it once per day) , mostly on 3G and on Rezound battery with moderate use. What about anyone running sense roms?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I've seen similar results to the OP on the stock rom. I have the Rezound battery as well, but after the last couple official updates, battery life seemed much improved, even with the stock battery. I forgot to post screenshots, but at one point I was at over 24 hours w/o charging and like 45% battery life left (with minimal usage and constant 4G).

Wow that is pretty cool. I can not really get a good assessment of my phone battery life. It is a 30-45 minute commute to work so my phone is in the cradle running 4G and Google Music. Then at work it is trying to ping services hard because of a secured area. So generally I leave work and it is struggling on 40% after sitting in a cubby for 12 hours. And my phone is all stock baby.
It really depends on where you are as well. When I am outdoors close to a cell tower with excellent signal strength, I can go a whole day and barely move the battery meter. However if I travel or am inside with a poor/decent signal, the battery dies much faster.
I also get really good battery life on my thunderbolt. Heavy usage, music, games, browsing on some wifi but mostly 3g (no 4g in my area yet), and I get about 15 to 17 hours on a single charge. Definitely lasts all day for me.

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!!

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.

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.

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
Thinking of getting a Sensation, but I want to know what the average battery life for a rooted, custom ROM with me being a light to medium user. Will it get me through a whole day of use without recharging?

I get 10 hours medium use, 13 hours light use. Don't let that put you off, I have problems with my battery.. most people usually get more than me! You can also get extra batteries which can last you two whole days.

If you are really keen on battery life, you can always try replacement batteries.
One of such that achieved some fame is the Anker Battery.
Proven by various XDA users that it's working.
You can give it a try

My battery life has been awesome! Going on 11hrs with medium usage and still at 73%.
I also noticed with stock and other ROM's, at night when phone was in an idle state I'd get up the next morning and battery had dropped anywhere from 20% - 25%; this morning after ICS install it had only dropped 3%, so much improvements in my case.
Well maybe I'm just a battery whore lol romracer needs to hurry up and make a kernel his always gives me long battery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You don't have to freeze, you can pretty much disable most of the bloat in the settings. I just hid the rest which is very little at that point.
But without doing that to begin with, my battery life was much better the moment I switched to ICS.
Won't even last a night with my after flashing last night.
Getting so much errors even after multiple resets.
Nice to have it now, but it need to be a little bit more stable for me to continue to use on a regular basis.

I am using a stock battery on my G2x and am debating purchasing a new one on Amazon. This is my last reading from 100 to 0 percent : (attached files)
Are the results good or should I purchase a new battery? And if so, which one? No batteries that require a bigger back door please, thanks!
Also, I am running 4.0.4
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I can pull a little more than that if I'm not fighting for signal...
Do you use anything like Juice Defender? Or maybe a similar function within the ROM?
I'd try stuff like that before purchasing a battery. But... it's always nice to have a spare.
Actually I see that your screen display is taking up the most battery so just lower the brightness of your phone and you will see results.
Thanks for the reply! I use a battery saving app... forgot the name of it. I know the app icon is an Android.
The screen was hogging up the battery because I was using my phone a lot. Games and browsing.
Thanks for the feedback.

Were you using the phone the ENTIRE time? Cause with only 3 hours of screen time and 7 hours of uptime, then why was the phone not sleeping at least a little bit in the extra 4 hours there?

i got almost 3.5 days when i changed over to EB 4.0.4 with some texting, a few calls, a couple hours of reddit, and lots of mp3 playing. so far with having the g2x i have found that using auto with the screen and keeping wifi off will give alot of battery life no matter what with custom roms.
i am also using the anticipatory scheduler so it jumps around and a bit of undervolting.
Update to my last post. I had to reboot in the morning, so add like 20 more minutes to screen time for accuracy. I am pleased considering all the gaming and browsing. Definitely worth the extra bulk. Reliability before phone aesthetics.

This is probably one of the worst phones on battery life that I have ever had... No matter what I do, what tweaks I use of what rom I'm on... I always only get 7 to 8 hours of battery with 1 hr screen on time.
I honestly have no idea what to do... I'm so sick of it. Anybody have any suggestions?
Seriously?
I have been on my phone all day with a full charge and I still have about half the juice. I am on stock 4.0.4 ICS. The one that droidstyles has in his guide. The Rom that came with my phone sucked on battery. This Rom works great for some reason.

What are your settings on? Post your settings (like screen, whether GPS is on, ect), a lot of times it has to do with your settings. I used to have so-so battery life but I tweaked some stuff in my settings and am very pleased with the phone.
Believe me, if you want bad, try the Droid Charge. Worst 4g phone I have ever had in terms of battery life.
This is on clean rom. Ignore the screen percentage, going down since this was a recently flashed rom.

Possible Idea
Don't know if this problem could occur with different ROM's, but I had issues with a runaway process that kept showing up. Maybe try Developer Options -> Show CPU Usage. I noticed that one called gsiff_daemon kept showing up at the top and was making my battery drain extremely fast. Everyone on this forum said it was a common issue and that it wasn't a crucial file, therefore I should just change the name so it wouldn't get accessed.
On RLS7 and kt kernel? This kernel has capabilities for overclocking/underclocking & overvolting/undervolting. By default your min Mhz is set to 384. Go into ktweaker and lower it to 96, test your phone out with a scaled stress test (play store app for stress testing). Then you can also go into the extra settings of ktweaker and set the Mhz for when your screen is off in addition to the governor (many options of which some are powersaving labelled).
If you want to save more battery read the kernel's thread to see starting undervolting values and lower from there while testing your phones limits. More undervolted you are, the less battery your phone uses for that particular frequency.

You obviously never had the thunderbolt, now that battery sucked. You have to let the rom settle in and your battery will improve. Usually for me the first day not so good after that everything is fine.

I had a Thunderbolt. Yep, now that was poor battery life.
My S3 gives me 12 hours if I use it heavily. Typically, at 16 hours, I still have 40% remaining. I leave WiFi, bluetooth, and GPS on 100% of the time.
As bad as your battery is, I would suspect that you have a poor radio signal.and the radios are cranking up the power to work. Try using WiFi or turning off mobile data for a while to get the LTE radio turned off.
man, i barely get 8 hours at times

This. For example, I have a 4g tower nearby at work, normally (4-5 bars). But sometimes it disappears, and I end up on a 1-2 bar 3g tower for the day. On those days, my battery life is around 8hrs max, barely using it. On good signal, even with crazy heavy usage (4hrs screen on and lots of 4g web browsing) I can get over 8 hours.
Signal strength has a LOT to do with battery life.
