With insertcoin + adw + anker battery, normal use.
2.3.4 kernel makes a huge difference it seems.

Could you elaborate on, "normal use"? How long has your screen been on? How much gaming, web browsing, and phone calls?
Matt

Also, for future posts, it may help to be more specific. Your post is simply titled 48 hours, then the info in your post is just ROM, kernel and launcher. Probably should have called it 48 hr battery life and as the other poster said, provided specifics as to what you call "normal use."

charged to full and unplugged before sleep.
woke up, did a bunch of fiddling/browsing for half an hour. turn on screen periodically probably once in an hour. Browse feedly a few times during the day. No gaming, few minutes worth of phone calls. same thing next day.
3/4g antenna is ON, (no battery savers running). I also only run one widget (smoothcalendar) and black background. Exchange activesync (tons of work email) and gmail sync are the only ones in use.
Juicing up another charge now and installed latest insertcoin with smartass cpu governer so may even get more this time around. I'll keep a more detailed log this time, but suffice to say I'm very happy right now. I hate charging.

Son, I'm disappoint.
I thought this was about the name of an horror movie or something like that.

WOW!!! That's a lot of angry birds!

pics or it didn't happen.

I last charged after the Panthers game Saturday night. Its almost dead now.
I use mostly phone text and email with some game play etc.
I'm on 2 days 11 hours 15 minutes....time to charge

Ugh. Maybe its because of the number of Widgets I use (one per page/sense) I only get a day, consider I unplugged 3 hours ago and im at 75. Oh yeah, been using unity kernel

OK since yesterday's charge:
been on battery for 19 hours
53 minutes of phone (i usually never use much but had conference calls)
1 hour 33 minutes of display on
it's at 50%

I get 1/2 a day if im lucky,quite often use it as a usb drive for my head unit when i drive so it gets a little charge with they way i drive Play iMobsters hourly,Also play SOG and make alot of calls.My hero lasted me about the same with the same use

I can not get more than 8-12 hours on any modified ROM. I have not tried insertcoin but 48 hours verse 8-12 hours is ridiculous. I don't have the 1900mA battery but the ratio should be the same, meaning i should be able to get 1520mA/1900mA X 48 hour = 38.4 hours. Something is wrong on my part. My standby rate is like 8-10% per hour and that is without installing all my apps.
To the original poster, after flashing the insertcoin ROM did you calibrate the battery and how many cycles have you gone through to get to 48 hour usage?

I only went through one cycle after re-calibrating. You should try a 2.3.4 ROM, I'm guessing that's what's making the biggest difference.
I'm on 42 hours now and it's got two yellow bars now. Would have got a lot more if I didn't talk on the phone, which I normally don't.
33% display: 1hr48m
35% voice calls: 54m
17% cell standby
15% phone idle

It appears that you barely use your phone. I usually have 4-5 hours on my screen for some 80% of the usage and I get 15-20 hours a day on my chichitec 1900mA/Hr battery. The battery SHOULD last awhile if not in use.
A 2.3.4 ROM you say? Wont CM7 be a 2.3.4 ROM? Ill give that a go when it comes out and is stable.

So in 42 hours you used your phone for about 2 hours...hmm still the standby rate is good.
Hey dude, I PMed you for some specifics.

As development continues battery will get better less usage in standby.

I cannot break the 9 hr battery barrier! Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

CM7 nightly+ Faux's kernel + SetCpu + Juice Defender = 8-9 hour battery life. I have tried EVERYTHING!!! I cannot make my phone last longer than 9 hours. What am I doing wrong? I'll take all suggestions....

Try a different rom? I don't use juice defender, and with eaglebloods 2.3.5 rom I get amazing battery life. At least 25% left around 12 hours. But I'm not extremely heavy user but I do email every second I get the chance.

I can get around 14 hours with my CPU set at 800 MHZ, and data/sync off. I text, make calls, listen to some music, and some light gaming with my brightness set at 40%.

Aside from battery this phone works like a dream. Big ups to all the devs and contributors on this site. You guys make the learning curve much flatter!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

If you're getting 8-9 hours with heavy use then that's pretty good. What do your battery usage statistics look like? If you go to Settings > About Phone > Battery Use ... what is using your battery and what are the percentages? Maybe post up a screenshot.

Maybe I'm expecting too much.

Same here man i only get to 5-6 hourf sometimes just 4 thats all,i mean yes half of time im txting but i have my brightnes on auto, running juice defender and also have advance task killer pro. I do multiple emails and time o time on web as well, same as gaming. Im running the rom xboarder OTA GB, what could be my issue :/

Doing it wrong.
EB 2.3.5 + Trinity kernel

Charge your phone before sleeping. Leave it idle while you sleep, unplugged. If the battery stills drains you have an issue. If connected to wifi - shouldn't take more than 20% off your battery. If you have a weak signal, it could drain your battery.
Sounds like you're just always on the phone. Buy an extended battery. $10 on ebay from hong kong.
With moderate usage, in GREAT signal areas and/or wifi I can last 20+ hours. With poor coverage (where I work) I can't go more than 5 or so. The radio seems to eat the battery unless you have a strong connection.

set screen brightness to 25% unless you really need it. set a profile for 312 max/216 min screen off on setcpu. turn off auto sync. use your power control toggles. shut things off when you're not using them. basic smart phone theory. my battery drops 1% every 2.5 hrs. when idle. fwiw, i'm using the stock tweaked rom with updated baseband.

MIUI + Stock kernel = 20 hrs.
....

Uninstall the task killer....its not necessary. That could be eating ur battery. Im a fairly heavy user and i easily get 12 hrs on average.....mainly texting and browsing. I dont make many phone calls
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I use this phone mainly for phone calls How crazy does that sound? I get awesome battery life. I'm running stock 2.3.3 and juice defender beta 3.5.9 and I get 14 hours on moderate use. I talk about 2-2.5 hours, send 30 texts, send 3-5 emails, browse for 1 hour, stream music for 1 hour, browse the market for 15-25 minutes, and occasionally play some tegra games (no more than 20 minutes, but this eats the battery up the most).
If you want more battery life, there is a 3500mah battery with a custom cover that should keep you going a full 24hours, its cheap too, but a little bulky. They are talking about it in the accessories section.

I can do 2.5 hours of gaming or 3 hours of browsing, to go from 100% to forced-shut-down. I find setcpu made it worse during idle times. I was using faux uv/oc and I realized performace was noticibly the same when I forced it down to 700mhz, so I did. But, during standby, when before at stock speeds with custom kernel I got 2-3%/hr drain, it was draining upwards of 10% per hour with the speed forced down in setcpu. This is all with the home screen as the open app during standby.
You will find that keeping google maps open (GPS off) during standby leads to a 5-10%/hr drain even though the phone should be doing the exact same thing with the app during standby as the home screen; nothing at all.
I will use the phone sparingly and I had it run out during my work day a few days ago, very embarrassing. I listened to less than 1 hour of music, browsed 30 minutes, used maps with no gps as that is broken anyway for a total of 30 minutes, texted about 40 in/out messages, and talked 20 minutes over 6 phone calls or so. I'll warranty it for the broken gps. Hopefully there are new G2x's out by now and I'll get a new revision or something.

question about battery life

what's your battery life/your usage?
i'd use my phone pretty heavy during the day - wi-fi on for maybe an hour, 1 hour of video playback, approximately half an hour of music, half an hour of apps/games, half an hour reading, a few minutes talk. could it last the whole day?

It surely will!
I Play music 2 Hrs a day, 1 hr on Wifi, 30 min of Video and lasts 2 days easily!

At an average i am getting 1 & 1/2 to 2 Days on normal usage which pretty good on any android mobile, i will play games for 1 to 2 hours, Browsing for 1 hour and call's max 1 hour.

I don't even get an entire 12 hours on weekdays.
College.
But I go through Saturdays and Sundays on one charge.

centrifugal ducatk
i bought 2 batteries

I charge overnight and use it the whole day... Happy with it.. And sometimes charge it while driving.. Keeping brightness to as low as possible and increasing it only outdoors helps a lot... Cheers.

Use a black background/wallpaper, instant battery boost, I generally end the day with 50% batt. and I tend to listen to a lot of music, play games @ lunch and use the data connections a lot

First, a LCD screen does not get anything from a black wallpaper, or at least it isn't significant.
Second, how much time do you spend looking your wallpaper during the day?

I Use it on Auto Brightness and a Bright Color Wallaper!
Use it for 1 Hr Music, max 30min of gaming, 30min - 1Hr Wifi Browsing with Bg data On, 30 min call and 100 sms messages!
Yet I get 2-3 Days off it.
Its an awesome phone!

If you are not using "Hi Galaxy" disable it, double click on the home button -> settings -> voice talk settings -> uncheck wake up command.
it will save you battery by at least 5 to 10%....

Battery life depends on usage ofc unless you got some fake or defected battery sitting at the back. I think it's possible to get a better battery.
I charge mine overnight and it kinda lasts through the day. With about 4-5 hours of music and 2 hours or maybe more of games. I keep brightness on auto cuz the light detection thing is real nice and it keeps the brightness at a near perfect level except when my fingers get in the way of the detectors which are near the front camera.
I'm guessing if you use this phone for just calls and messages and when listening to music if the screen is switched off, it should last at least 3 days.
Also my Wi-Fi is on all the time and I have a live wallpaper ^_^
You could prolly make the battery drain really quickly if you play music and keep brightness on full while playing some hd game like shadowgun.

Well, black being the off state of an lcd pixel... Cba to explain.
Derp on derper

First thing is don't use widgets which use internet .......
The best thing is use DROIDWALL app from market and .........block the internet to apps which u will not use internet
Example :1). if ur are using gmail then block email app
2) some games in which more adds will come so better to block that also for not using internet for disable adds
3) for me I will not use maps, places,latitude .....so I will block that also
This the stuff that helps to increase my battery life

Black is not 'off' in an LCD display. You are confusing that with an OLED display.
SGS2 has an SAMOLED+ display. In that a black pixel is truly off. That does save power.
But in an LCD screen like the one on SGR, even black is on. It is just colored black. Try looking at a black image on your phone and then switching the screen off. You will see the difference.

Verizon battery life

Want to get an idea of battery life with Verizon LTE on the S3. When voting in the poll please include the following of what type of user you are 1) heavy user 2) moderate user 3) barely use the phone aka mostly on standby.
I'm interested in the screen time on, not standby, and only those with LTE access.

heavy user days I get twelve hours
moderate days 15
not at all 2 days.

Heavy user I get 12 hours with 3-5 hours talk time and heavy Internet usage about 2 hours, 14-16 if I cut my talk time and Internet usage down 30% . my rezound with extended battery would last longer larger battery obviously, I think the s3 would have even better battery life if the antennas were better they are very poor compared to my rezound which makes a difference in battery life. But all in all there is noticeable difference in battery advancement with s3 I hope all phones will have battery life like s3 and better

If you're only interested in screen-on time, then the effects of LTE should be pretty much negligible.

Over 4hrs on Ics and 3hrs with jellybean.

Usually after about 15-16 hours off the charger I am around 45-55%

my mind is blown seeing all of your battery life's.. i get to 10 hours if i'm lucky...
on stock i would get to 12 hours (charged the phone half way through the day for like an hour)
Now that i've rooted / unlocked and flashed Liquid smooth RC7 my battery is dying so much faster.. i have sync, locations, LTE, etc off

I get from 6am to 10am and have anywhere to 15% to 30% left. Moderate to heavy use. I do charge it on my way to work for 25 minutes. Whats weird is the phone lasts longer if I do this. If I use 8-9% before I go to work then charge for 20 minutes on the way it lasts all day. I love the battery life.

If the screen is on because you are using the LTE, you are going to sap the battery much more quickly. I love the LTE, but it is not battery friendly. If you aren't using a lot of network, then you are correct. Most peoples on screen time is because they are using their network though.

Heavy use -about 1 day with 8-9 hours on screen time
Medium use- 2 days minimum
Light use- don't ever use lightly

Honor 6 battery life

My battery life seems short I think, but I'm not sure.
I went from 100% to 78% in two hours.
I have 4G on, Wi-Fi on,gps on but only for a few apps.
Today screen was on for 50 minutes, and I had a call for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
It's this normal?
Yesterday I put my phone in charger in the morning and it was 100% around 11 and it was 17% after 9 hours with what I mean is heavy use?
Screen was 4 hours, phone calls for about 2 hours.

I find that Bluetooth audio streaming really drains the battery!!!
To the OP .. 4 hours screen time is decent when it comes to current flagships

That is pretty acceptable battery life really. 4 hours screen time and 2 hours calls would see most phones searching for charge.

In general I get @~4h awake >> every 2days charging.
But I have to say that I removed all those bloatware by rooting the phone.
