Kangy Ultra + INK Kernel
Ondemand 200/1000 deadline, i get more than 2 days
I think it has more to do with the kernel and apps than anything. My phone is extremely picky and it seems only stock and Simple Kernel work well for me. I just finished off with almost 4 hours screen on(about 3:40 before the phone shut off) with 12 hours of use. That includes streaming music. It all depends on how you set the phone up and what apps you have installed.
Only you can answer you question..

Oh I always use my phone about 4 hours screen on and No battery left, but I saw that some people use their phones with 6 hours screen on therefore I think my phone have a problem

4 hours is the average for a lot of us. I get a little under that, but that's because I have my phone at 25% brightness and this is over a course of 17 hours away from a charger. 6 hours is pushing it and that may be because they're using extended batteries. Your phone is fine. Stop worrying and just use it.
Try the flashable kernels in development section yourself. You might realize the answer in to your question.

running das BAMF 1.7 and the lean kernel i am only getting 6 hours at best with what i would consider as light usage. when i am actually using the phone i get about 1% usage per minute. any ideas as to what is going wrong?
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.

Yep, totally normal. I've just learned to live with it. Trying to get the co. to buy me an extended battery.
then how is it even possible to get 2 days

Extended battery.

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.

I use juice defender and then also LTE on off and only run in 3G. I get easily 15 hours with 60% battery left
I'm not in a 4g area, I get about 12 hours with 3 or 4 hours of screen time. Stay on WiFi as much as possible. Try calibration the battery.

Run bamf 2.0 on the latest imo kernel? I usually get about 10 to 18 hours on the stock battery depending on usage. 4G enabled 24/7.

I can get great life when I have full bars on 4G, when I go to work I switch over to 3G and I get about 14 hours on standard battery

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.
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

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.

Three hours of on screen time and 7 hours total is normal in my experiances with ics!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
It appears as though your phone never went to sleep?
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?
16 hrs on HFP CM7.2 still 57 percent left.

Did you use your phone a lot? I can pull of 16 hours if I never touch my phone. You need to give details.

click on the screen tab and post that screenshot also. Thanks
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.

Every since I've rooted the battery in this phone reminds me of my galaxy nexus and that's the reason I sold my galaxy nexus. I have tryed synergy ROM and cm10 with same results. Every 2 mins it drops a percent. I miss the battery life without the phone being rooted.

root alone wouldn't do this, synergy rom/CM10 might - if you want to "go back" you should only simply have to flash a stock root rom again.
you should probably verify that the screen is turning off, or check the battery life statistics under settings. It could be a bad battery calibration perhaps? Probably should let the battery run down/charge up to calibrate (not sure if that's how it really works on phones but it works for laptops)
Yeah when I charged yesterday it only took a hour and a half from 0-100 I ran it down today to O and charged up again took 3 hours this time and its not dropping as fast very weird.

You can try BetterBatteryStats to find out what if anything is draining battery.
Did you try to factory reset your phone? You probably need to return stock ROM first.

Sounds like a bad battery because when I rooted battery was the same and since the unlock battery has gotten even better! Kind of scary if you think about it.

My was doing that also. I use Synergy 1.7 now and use setcpu and have presets with screen off max 348 min 348 and I get killer battery. I also charge my phone when it is powered down. If you charge at night with the power on the phone stops charging at 100% so you may lose 8%. Your phone will do a trickle down to catch up to the normal reading. So you will lose 1% every couple minutes when you are on it till it catches itself. Yesterday I had tow hours and twenty six minutes of screen time with 13hrs on the battery and still had 46% battery.

The general rule of thumb is that a Rom usually takes anywhere between 3 - 5 battery cycles before they Rom settles down and the battery normalizes

If your light use is actually light then that would sound rather low. What type on screen time do you have? That would really help.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I usually get 30-35 hours with about 5 or 6 hours screen on time.
I turn off vibrations, use power save, when I'm at home I turn off data and use wifi only, I have manual sync set up, have s-voice wake up command turned off.

from what i understand you will do better on a stock ROM vs an AOSP rom. I dont remember being on stock or synergy so I cant really compare firsthand.

If you just got your phone do a couple cycles on the battery and it will get much better. You also need to wait for the Rom to stabilise and once it gets stable your battery life will increase

I'm running HyperDrive RLS 5 with the stock kernel and like the features but I am on my phone a lot and my battery is suffering. I've seen people getting 20+hours of battery life on their S3 with 3 to 4 hours of screen time. Right now I'm at 7 and half hours with 2 and a half hours of screen time. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, text, and phone calls. I'd like to keep with the phone but I have an upgrade and may jump ship. What Roms and kernel combos are you running that are yielding this stellar battery life I hear of? Please help before I do something brash and get a Motorola or even worse an iPhone, ugh!. Thanks guys!
I run Carbon ROM +Ktoonz. I regularly get 4 hours of screen time.
My best battery life was from Synergy +Ziggy or Lean or Ktoonz. I got 5 hours of screen time.
iPhones have crap battery life, with no option to expand battery, undervolt, or underclock. How would that help you? You also can't freeze apps, make screen off profiles, etc. That's like getting a Dodge because your Honda wasn't reliable enough for you.

Clean ROM and lean kernel does wonders for me
Device idle puts my at about 80% with very little use.
Battery will last all day with very very heavy use.

I have this set up but I feel as though I'm getting iffy battery life. I keep my screen pretty dim and am on consistent wifi 100% of the day with mobile data off, no games or any CPU intensive tasks, and I get maybe 15 or 16 hours of battery life with 2-3 hours of screen time. Perhaps that is good though? I keep seeing people write about 24 hour battery life and I just don't see how.
That's pretty good. Screen on is the most important stat. You could not touch it, put it in airplane mode and boast about how many hours. I would assume some of those people are forgetting to mention they have extended batteries or are charging at some point.
