Folks,
On my desire running oxygen I worked out my standard current draw objective, 6-10mA in standby with about 40mA playing mp3s. All readings with battery monitor widget.
With the one XL it seems to pull about 40-50mA in standby and about 60mA when playing mp3s on stock with apex launcher.
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on their best battery use in standby with either a stock or custom ROM.
Cheers.

I used to wonder the same thing. I've found Viper to be the best for standby time. I'm in class from 8:15 to 4:10 and only lose 9% battery on average during that time. Keep in mind, this is very light usage.

Tanner,
Mate that sounds pretty good. Do you have any idea on the mA draw when you've got it in standby over that period?
I probably won't match your idle time, but it'd be a good benchmark.
Forgot to ask if you're sitting on 4G for that time.

Best thing I have ever realized. Undervolting. Right now with viper and beast mode kernel (Supporting Undervolting) I am able to make it through the whole day as a extremely heavy user at full brightness.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Yeah undervolting is the way to go. Who needs full clock speed at idle.
Is the beast mode kernel the only undervolt supporting kernel?

Does profiles/governors really do much of a difference on battery life ?? I tried all of them : ondemand,powersave,performance... But haven't seen a difference and also same thing for kernels i flashed alot of them but never felt the difference ??

Me either.
What difference are you talking about?
Difference in power or difference in battery saving/consumption
If so yeah there is difference in these two parameters with different governers

It really depends on your usage pattern, doesn't it? If you're going to be using your phone with the screen on all of the time, then I really doubt changing the profile will be making that much of a difference to your battery life. In any case, it's very difficult to accurately and objectively determine the impact a profile or kernel will make on your battery life. For example, I use my phone differently each day, so it's really hard to tell. I can roughly gauge if a kernel can give me better battery life, but it's very hard to say for sure. There is a difference since all those profiles control the CPU differently, but whether you can see a significant difference or not is up to you.

Same here. Most of the time my phone survives for two or even more days without recharging (ondemand profile) but there are days when it drains battery like there is no tomorrow (no network, using it for navigation...) so I guess it boils down to your usage patterns and what you are expecting from device.

I've found the same. If I'm constantly online or am playing games then I'll chew through the battery in a few hours. But on the other hand I've found that the battery will last 24 hours plus if I'm travelling and just listening to mp3's
Im just the kind of guy who use his phone more for multimedia no data nothing else music screen off 70 texts a day thats it and all these above usually takes 1h screen on time yet i always get home whit 40% whit phone unplugged for 8 hours but..
Im not complaining weekends i use my phone differently yet i never see a difference..

The guide is simple. Turn down brightness all the way, turn off data if not using it (or use 2G-only), limit the number of background apps running, use a custom kernel if possible and underclock the CPU speed below 1.5 GHz.
Use apps with dark preferably black backgrounds, AMOLEDS doesn't use any power when displaying black unlike LCDs with backlights. Set black background image, use inverted mode in browser etc. Surf old school porn- and warez sites instead of Wikipedia to profit from black backgrounds Use Wi-Fi for large downloads since a quick download using wifi will save power compared to longer times using cellular data. But by far most important is use display as little as possible and at low brightness displaying dark colors.
Turning sync off helps a lot. If you don't plan on using GPS frequently, turn that off as well. Same with Bluetooth.
Thanks guys ill check out all that info

How do I underclock the CPU. I'm using the mjd kernel I think it is
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
mdj? There might be info on this where you got the kernel. If it was included in a custom rom then there might be some sort of control app included as well, in CM9 its just part of settings. I think ppl use an app called setcpu as well sometimes, 2 USD on market.
Mdj kernal is what I have installed. So will have to try as I'm.getting horrendous battery life

Please post all questions in the Q&A section
running the latest trickdroid and setcpu enabled.....
on 2g with wifi enabled i get nearly 24 hours.....battery life
on 3g with data enabled i lose about 10% battery a hour.
I'm currently running Clean ROM 4.5 and only get about 14 hours per a full charge. Please share your thoughts!
King cobra seems to give me the best battery life followed by Nocternals ROM. Both are very close to each other from what I can tell.
I used to get good battery life with Wild Child's WCX Illuminati ROMs but he closed his site to non-americans so I don't know how his ROMs are doing.

I've relatively new to this, bit I've seen people get upwards to 24 hours and am wondering how they pulled it off. I get a max of 14 hours with this one X.
I got 1 day and 17 hours with auto brightness and auto sync on. I used the 6.4.AOKP ICS Rom. Oh and some pretty good screen on time.

AOSP roms get the best battery life in my opinion.
Actually Xs. I have gotten better battery life with your ROMs compared to either Cm10 and Aokp. Now that we have the source for 4.0.4 and if they get those wake locks fixed that might change but I think your ROMs are a little easier on the battery currently.

I just started running cm10 today but I'm not sure yet, in the past aosp has always been my choice but sense 4.1 has really improved

It is quite possible that your "rapid" battery drain is caused by one of the apps you have installed, as opposed to the ROM you are using. I'd highly recommend installing an app like Better Battery Stats and use those numbers to find the worst offenders.

Its wake locks from the aosp ROMs themselves. Its a known issue and I am sure it will be worked out. They are only in the beta stages so its not a surprise.

I've been getting "decent" battery life on the stock rom. At night I use an app called ScreenDim set at 29.8% brightness, the rest of the time I use auto-brightness.
Hmm I'm currently at 43% and battery stats show 20 hrs use.
For battery life nothing beats King Cobra.
Watch the dev thread today, Turge has a little something special today. And man it's going to be popular.

Is this even possible? I've seen pictures of 24 hours or so, and that's at what I'm aiming for. Would you happen to have a link for a ROM that provides this type of battery life? Is 3 days not even real?
Is the screen on time on android deviced the same as usage in iphones? My friend told me he gets 10h usage a day ? I get max 4+h. Is that possible, or usage is different from screen on?

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I also think that the ip "usage" refers not only to screen on time, but also to the time the phone is kept awake.

I think it's impossible.. even if he uses iPhone on Airplane, and he just read ebook at the lowest screen brightness
Also, as you are on ViperS the battery will never be as good as the stock (or better the ARHD) one..
Also if you buy an anker the consumption mA/h is the same..

Mate both phone got different OS you can't compare battery life on the factor of screen on time. While you have screen on android will keep running background applications while i-os is not multitasking operating system it won't run any background applications. Even on screen off android runs background applications. Other thing is numbers of panels of home screen with how many widgets you have on android, while on Apple you don't have widgets which drain more battery life.

Previously a was using Viper Xl 3.2.7 with stock kernel and i could easly get 5+ screen on time on 3g.. ( idont have LTE )
Those screenshots are from Hatka 4.7.1 sense 5 elements rom with Elemental 6.4 kernel with 1.5 Ghz, zram 900mv, stock Gpu, It has phenomenal standby time.. that is why i switched from Viper Xl. My battery was droping fast while standby on Viper Xl. Did anyone notice the same thing?
