About 33 hrs w/ WiFi OFF, 30 hrs on. With use: calls, messaging, Facebook, ect...... maybe about 22 hrs. Running apps all day are GoLauncher, GoPower, Magic Locker.... ect..
i get about 14 hours before i have to charge on a regular day
Cell signal quality and whether the cell radio is on make a huge difference for me.
I spend most of my time where I have wifi and now turn off the cell radio during those times, getting upwards of 30h on one charge (including occasional cell radio usage). Before I did this, I'd usually get through the day but not much more, around 14h.
I'm currently using Easy Battery Saver. It is making a lot of difference. Been playing around with the different settings. I will report back after a full charge than discharge.

Why does it seem like my battery sucks. Or at least when i listen to tune in radio at work. 8am ill be at 100% and if i listen to radio for a couple hours by 12 noon ill be at 15%. That listening threw Bluetooth, wifi and GPS off, brightness all the way down. I no 4g kills ur battery way faster. But even if i turn 4g off battory still dies fast while listening to internet radio.
Any ideas why

Are you the type of person to press the home button when switching in between apps? If so they're running in the background, and apps like Facebook can eat up CPU usage. Bluetooth and radio apps will do the same.

Fairly typical. GPS is always on 24-7 and wifi on most of the time when home. Often end up charging and then taking off charge before bed so I get a 7 or 8 hour cruise mode with no activity to start off each battery stat as you can see by the plateau at the start. Over clocked @ 1344 w/ screen on, flat clocked with screen off and no undervolting so its not too bad. As soon as I move/copy/paste files or anything leaving screen on I see drastic drops in battery life but typical medium use lasts all day no prob and battery left to spare.
Sorry edit...... this is on my G-Nexus with Paranoid Android and trinity kernel.
My a500 on Flexreaper Extreem does about 25-30 hours with fairly heavy use. 40-48 hours when mostly idle. Overclocked @ 1504 screen on, 1000 screen off w/ Minor undervolt. Lovin custom roms !
WOW.....EDIT !!!! : I'm a tard. I could have sworn this was a Galaxy Nexus thread. I apologize, don't know how I ended up here.

Tune in itself will drain your battery. Love the app but I use it sparingly as it kills any phone I've used it on.

If you're on the standard battery then nothing is wrong, that is common.
What I do is keep my mobile network (4G) off as much as I can. My battery is a lot better when I do that.

Use wifi as much as possible. Shut off data when not using. Don't use 4G unless needed. Minimize screen on time. Turn off autosync. Switch to a different kernel, etc. Juice defender really helped me, also. Make sure you set your CPU to minimum when screen is off. Two days probably isn't realistically possible with the stock battery, but you can probably get more.

Sounds like an issue with the software, more specifically the kernal. Are you rooted and running a rom/kernal combo? If so, try reflashing. If that doesn't work, try a new combo.
I've found a happy medium that I can live with... getting anywhere between 10-16 hours with around ~2 hours of screen time.
Running bamf stripped 1.7 using its stock kernel with the smartass governor and underclocking to 368/245 when screen is off.

Stop Android from phoning home and you'll save greatly on battery life.
Best way I've found to prevent battery drain, is to stop Android from phoning home.
Once you use an app like Autostarts to stop unnecessary things from starting up all the time on their own and also block a couple ports that are not always needed via an app like DroidWall, you'll see great battery life. Also see other details in that link of things I turned off to increase battery life amoung other benefits.
For now, I can only speak for seeing the difference while using a Nexus One ROM on my HD2, but I have way better battery life, GPS lock times and faster device boot ups than ever before.
This is yet another one of the reasons I must wait till the Sensation is rooted and unlocked. Because I'm not using it while it's running things I can't better manage, so they don't drain my battery.

Well to be honest for the 8 hours I'm at work, I use it light. texting, a few calls and about 30 minutes of reading pulse and playing games. However the next 8-9 hours I would consider moderate to heavy use. I have no monitors or anything running, just running straight out of the box.

I think mine's even worse. Phone was off charger at 100% at 11am, by 1:30PM it's already down to 80%ish. By 4PM it was down to 40%ish, got it charged up to about 70%ish around 6PM, by midnight I was around 6% again.
So I think I'm losing around 10%/hr. That's gotta be abnormal, and the battery gets really hot too. At the moment, I have several speculations:
1. Death grip causing the phone to work harder to find signal, and tmo's coverage kinda sucks in my town
2. I have defective unit/battery
3. Some apps behind the scene are killing it. But I've checked what's running behind, even turned off unnecessary stuff using autorun manager. Auto sync is turned of only for gmails. Weather, IMAP mails, pulse, facebook etc are set to pull in couple hrs instead hourly. The battery life cannot be worse than my 2-yr old HD2.
Hey guys. Have you considered bump charging. HTC advised the idea for the HTC desire battery and it in most cases doubles the battery.
Sorry I can't be more specific bit I'm on my phone. I have found the relevant link. Read the 1st post. I'm gonna do it when I get in from my gig.

I'd suggest uninstalling battery monitor. I had installed it on my g2x and immediately saw my battery percentage drajning more quickly. Probably because its always running in the background.
The best tip I can give for better battery life is to minimize what you allow to run in the background. Get rid of any task killers, set Facebook/Twitter/Email/etc to sync less frequently, turn off wifi if you're not using it so its not scanning for networks, and so on.
Also install juice defender from the Market. Its free. It has greatly increased my battery life.

You should be able to get 2-3hrs of screen on time per charge cycle. This is also dependent on what you are doing when the screen is on, and also how much your phone is doing with the screen off as well.
Which thing messed with ur data? The battery saver? I had that problem with other battery savers (juice defender, battery doctor) but no problem at all with AnTutus battery saver.

I go 100MHz-800MHz conservative, and almost all my apps run smoothly. If something like an intensive game needs more juice i go 1.2GHz and smartassv2. Ondemand is junk don't use it.
EDIT: I just went 12 hours 29 mins from full to completely dead (powered off) with 2 hours 23 mins of screen on, much of that was heavy web browsing (lots of tabs on Opera) and gaming.

Interesting. I run TS1.4 w/ PBJ (no ext4) and I went through a number of settings and I could not get sav2 or sio to be lag free. The combination of ondemand and noop yields the best performance for me. Now if I happen to have 5 or more apps going then RAM becomes and issue and I have to march out w/ task killer.
I also 100/1200 for CPU settings, no volt modification.
Up until the latest google maps update last weekend, I have the sensor thingy killing my battery every few days, and that has seemed to clear up.
I also bought one of those extended batteries from ebay w/ 3500Mah and it is a beast (last 1.5 days easy), however a bad result of that is that it interferes w/ the BT and Wifi reception to the tune of -20db so it makes a marginal connection crap. It looks like the charge antenna is on the right, right next to the battery, and the beast sticking out is messing w/ the signal. I am going to try a few different materials over the battery to see if I can sort it out.
It is almost fearsome how quickly the stock battery drains...I mean if I am out work and going out until 3AM, no way it will last unless I use the beast.

Also no latitude!! Make sure you are signed out of latitude in Maps and never open that app. It updates your location to google which wakes the phone and stuff.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

Check your Google account sync - could be something in there is not syncing correctly. Settings / Accounts / Google.
I had this - Internet Sync was not working but kept trying burning CPU, network, and battery. Disabled the failing sync and all was better.

Is it switching between 3 and 4g a lot? Constantly searching is rough on a battery.

I seriously doubt you guys are getting 7 plus hours of screen on time with the stock battery. If you are then you are charging it at some point.

I am using stock battery on stock jellybean leak and get 30+ hours with 5.5 to 7 hours screen on time you can see from the pics above that we are not charging. The bar would go UP at some point if we were.
I just have my phone set up the perfect way to get maximum battery life.
It's simple. I personally have nothing to gain from lying about something so silly as battery life.
