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

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.

Yes. Same everything. Tried calibrating battery. Everything that drains is off. Is it a faulty unit?

There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

I've been on stock unrooted latest update for a couple of weeks, and even with 4G on the battery life is fantastic, I'm at 40% after 1d 11h! Thanks HTC for all your hard work, now hurry up and give me some ICS!

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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
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.

Have you tried a different rom? That one should have pretty good battery life though. If you are doing EVERY single thing that, that thread suggests.. you should be able to have your battery last for a week.. He takes it to the extreme. VERY well done though.

you may have a bad flash...occasionally a reflash may fix it if you haven't tried.
with zeus, i don't recommend any other external cwm flash tweaks if you tried them
Maybe you gotta bum battery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
does the ics theme have anything to do with the bad battery life?
You seem to be the only one having this problem and if it's when you try other roms as well then it's probably a hardware issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Flash other modem, sometimes it help a lot.
Has anyone ever heard of an instance where the display drains the battery while off? 4 hrs on battery, display using 54%, all others using 4% or less, and display off 85% of the time. 20% remaining.
Just curious. Probably gonna GR then reflash
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Your display is always going to use a large portion of battery. Being on battery for only 4 hours may be misleading. Let your phone run through most of the charge and check again.
As you continue to use it, other apps and services will contribute to battery drainage, in turn lowering the percentage of juice shown used by your display.
Im not trying to imply you are wrong. You may have an issue, and I could be way off base. Just something to think about.
Edit: I re-read your post. It ran through 80% of your battery in 4 hours with minimal use?

Thanks. I was actually just seeing if this has ever happened to anyone before. There has to be something wrong. Just a one day fluke I guess cause today it seems to be going ok so far. I'm just gonna start from scratch and try again.
Tried to thank you for responding, but alas, I am limited to 8 per day. I'll get you tomorrow.
My display also drains a large portion of my battery, but never THAT much. Is your brightness really high at all times? If so, turn it down.

Your battery dies really fast while display is off?
The day I posted it was dying super fast. I have not changed anything and it seems to be better but still draining pretty fast. Running better batt stats app for a few days to see if I can catch what's doing it.
Someone in anton's kernel thread said that the first few charges went great but all of a sudden it's draining fast. This is what happened to me. I'll report back what I find out with the app.

Seems to me that the phone is having a hard time going to sleep soon after use, wifi may be keeping it awake. i have wifi on all day while im at work and the awake time seems to be higher right when i get into work. doesnt sleep for the first few hours.

Dang, that's really nice for so much screen time.
So you had airplane mode on 100% of the time? (That's what it looks like to me, sorry if I'm wrong, I'm slightly color blind with blues and greens).
How is it if you keep cell service on?

Might be a good idea to set your wifi sleep policy to never. Would help squeeze just a liiiittle more out. Settings>wifi>option haptic>advanced>stay on while in sleep>never.
Still fairly impressive with that much screen time though.

Just a word of advice, lithium ion battery have a dry cell problem when they are repeatedly drained past 15%.
This means that your overall battery capacity is reduced when you keep draining it like this. The usage is fine though I'd say.
