I'm posting this in general because although it's a question, it is not posed as a "help needed" question. But more of a survey. I'm not seeking advice or assistance.
When I was running my Galaxy S3 on AOSP ROM's, I was able to get up to 95% deep sleep overnight.
My new S4 with stock TouchWiz was doing pretty awful.
I installed Greenify and sleeped a large amount of apps. And I also uninstalled about 130 bloatware apps that Samsung & AT&T nicely placed on my phone for me.
Just noticed I hit 91.5% deep sleep. It's the best I've gotten so far on this TW ROM.
I use CPU Spy to check my deep sleep.
I'm linking the "free" version, but I always pay for my apps.
Suggest you do the same if you find the app useful.

And here is a screenshot of my last (and best ever) deep sleep on a deodex TouchWiz AT&T debloated ROM running Greenify.

Doesn't this depend on (at least in part) to how much you actually use your phone during a charge cycle? So if you use it less, you should achieve better deep sleep %, correct?
OP meant deep sleep overnight when you're not using the phone at all.

Yep! :good:
Or at least a period of more than an hour+, where you're not using the phone.
Though overnight is a MUCH better indicator of how well your phone sleeps.
I should mention that I leave WiFi and GPS and Bluetooth on at all times. These are also good bits of info to know when studying deep sleep.
well without custom roms on the s4, I haven't really gotten into that whole scene yet.. but I can tell you my s3 got over 30 days standby, when I got my s4 and let it sit in my room untouched.
normal use however is 2% drop over an 8 hour sleep. that's with normal settings, wifi/gps/internet/etc all on (my day to day settings), no under clocking or any silly battery apps. just good old fashioned wakelock corrections.
simply between BetterBatteryStats and AutoStarter, tracking down poorly behaving wakelocks, and asking them to simply not start up on their own.

I'm having a great overall experience with the Inspire 4G w/ CM7. Just wanted to show you guys some screenshots of the battery life I'm getting so far. These shots I took after a day of heavy usage, including a few hours of net browsing, texting, and e-mails.

Hey try using juice defender or current widget to exceed your current battery life. Both control which apps that are eating up your battery. Kills the non needed ones.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
i've seen all the complaints about battery life but i must say mine is more than adequate. maybe because for the first 4 days i had the phone, after charging it for 10+hrs, i ran the battery all the way to 0 (til it shutdown), recharged to full, then drained it again.
it was my old habit from my nokia days.
Yeah, to be honest, this is equal to or better than the battery life I was getting with my Captivate. I can tell you with an absolute certainty that the battery did have to "break in" for a short period, after installing CM7.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Its deff better than captivate, 99% due to the screen. I got over 5 hours screen on time in a 16 hour period the other day with my rom/kernel combo with screen brightness at about 40-50%. That's pretty damn good, way better than the captivate could ever get
On my LG Ally i was lucky to get 6-8 hours with just light use. With the Inspire on cm7 i have gotten around 20ish hours with moderate to high use.
I'm still shocked that i am able to get that much battery life. lol
I'm still breaking my Captivate records. I took my phone off the charger @ 7:00am on Wednesday the 20th. I'm now at 15%.
What roms are you guys running. Im on coredroid 5.4. I get about 20 h with moderate use. I consider it to be pretty good. But no way can I get over like 30 h. I don't like to use juice defender or setcpu. Don't feel like I should use apps that override android os. Especially GB is so will optimized and efficient.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I'm on CM7 and only wish I could get the battery you guys are talking about. I just went from 93% to 90% in a matter of minutes doing nothing on the phone. It was sitting on my desk!

Does your phone get lonely spending all that time lying silent longing for your swipe?

Not at all. It's my personal and work cell, so I talk, text, surf, and play games what I would consider a moderate amount. I don't use a large overclock. I use the smart ass governor on Leedroid's most recent rom, and my screen brightness at 1/3.
There are days that I can put it tonthe test, but my first charge got me 35 hours with 5 hours awake time.
That's it? I got this a while ago and that's before I did some optimizations... I'm going to see what it can pull this weekend before it hits the 15% warning.
Apparently I can't add images until I get some more posts.
Ok so without a doubt it is most definitely the data that is so massively draining the battery.
I have always been using juice defender to turn off data when my screen is off but I would still be at around 70% battery after about 4 1/2 hours of it just sitting in my pocket while I'm working.
I uninstalled juice defender and just placed a beautiful widgets data toggle on my main home screen, turning off data manually when not in use.
The results? I unplugged my phone at 6:47am this morning and I'm sitting here at a tattoo shop at 2:20am tonight with still 50% battery..and thats with plenty of texting, phone calls, some internet browsing and about an hour of music playback.
Hell yes.

No clue why juice defender doesn't show the same results. :|

That's standard behavior for any phone. If you don't have data enabled then you basically have a pretty paperweight sitting there.
Yeah and I even noticed that when I power my phone off the battery lasts for weeks!!! Turns out that having the phone turned on actually will drain the battery! Who knew?! ........ <sarcasm off>
You know, it's weird, i originally tried toggling data off, and I still got terrible drain. Ever since I installed a toggle switch for edge to 4g, battery life has been amazing.

Yeah, the modem in this phone hammers the battery similar to how wimax affects sprint phones. I don't know why though, seeing as howl my g2s modem was rated the same 14.4 mbps throughput as the g2x... I hope they update the baseband and make the phone idle better, because after hammering the battery for a bit I noticed that it stays warm after going into my pocket...

I'm loving the sarcasm in this thread..lol
But my main point is the massive difference between juice defender "automatically turning off data" and just doing it manually.
Sent from my G2x running Bionix 2 with the power of Trinity.
The OP is right, the data connection must be directly related to battery drain issues many of us are experiencing.
I turned on my Wifi, but left the Wifi calling feature off since I do not need it (I have unlimited everything anyways), and used the phone as normal today. I woke up just before 7am for the Formula One race and unplugged the phone at that time. With Wifi on, thus no 4g, regular texting, two calls under 5 minutes each, about ten minutes of web browsing and maybe twenty minutes in and out of Twitter for various updates, the phone was sitting at 70% at 3pm.
Usually, by 3pm I have plugged my phone in at least once, or the battery would be well below 40%...if not dead. I have not tried using only 2g because that is not what I bought the phone for.
Phone in pocket is a battery killer as well.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It's called switch pro. I don't understand why my phone still trained with data off, but with the 4g edge switch, I can go forever with a charge.

Not really fond of making the phone thicker. Better just to buy 2x 1800mAh (or 1500mAh) batteries and swap as needed.
I'm getting one of these soon, I will post my results whenever I can

Update: i got the battery today, I'm letting it charge. right now I'm using my horrible flip-phone that i obtained when being on monthly 4g. i will get back with the results after the first full discharge
here is another one for cheaper: http://www.ecrater.com/p/12744868/extended-battery-with-cover-for-samsung-galaxy-s#
you get what you paid for. honestly, I wouldn't trust one of those.
As for the Seidio, last night it lasted me 10+ hours with heavy usage(constant music, gaming) and it was at 39 percent or so when I plugged it in.
Today, i have had it unplugged for four hours, listening to music around the same amount and it is at 90 percent so it's a major plus
before 10 percent would last me maybe 30 minutes max if i'm constantly listening to music, and this is only my second cycle. waiting until it's completely broken in
I will post a full report once I actually kill the thing lol

So this is what my battery looks like after two days of usage. With music playing, downloads happening, standby standing by calls being taken, etc etc. So I guess this battery really does this phone some good as I never have been able to squeeze this much juice out of my phone. Oh did I mention I was playing games hours at a time.
I recommend this product a lot, but I don't necessarily deem it an absolute need, but close to it, especially for excessive use
I was going it let it drain, but I think I'm going to throw it on the charger now, as the major drawbacks are a longer charge time, and thr size....which once you're used to it isn't as bad as it seems, I actually like the extra weight, and the way it feels.
Anyways if you're willing to shell around 60 bucks out for more juice(a lot more) then I highly recommend it

.......................
Very interested in the biggest capacity battery I can get for around ~40-60 bucks.
I just got my phone four days ago, only just now let it go through a complete drain cycle.
But I was doing homework today and it didn't even make it through a full day of classes for me (From 7am to 4pm). Mostly just listening to music, calculator, a new text every twenty or so minutes, quick google shots during English classes.
Really disappointed by that. But if an extended battery will fix it (Also going to pick up a portable power pack if I can), I have to ask ... does this phone only draw 500 mA maximum when charging? I use the Apple USB charger because it's output is 1 Amp, the Samsung charger is 750 mA. Don't see a difference really - they both take a REALLY long time to charge.
....................
..................
I'll take it, then.
Thanks a bunch for the tests.

Do you have this battery yourself, and if yes, what can you say about it?
I realize this may be sacrilege to some, but is there any advantage to installing a battery management app like Juicedefender to a custom ROM? Or is each ROM optimized enough to not need third party apps like this... I just installed the ICS 2.3.5...
If not, are there custom kernels that can be flashed to this ROM to optimize battery more?
Thanks.
Actually, there is EVERY advantage of installing JD on any rom. JD does things no roms can do, like enable/disable connectivity such as wifi, gps, bluetooth depending on variable you chose such as location, time of day....
I use JD ultimate and this is what i usually get...JD is probably the best battery manager out there, you can couple it wil SetCPU to additionally tweak it.
On this screen is my usage for tha past day, i have 25% left and i've already have 26 hours on my battery. JD is set to keep wifi on at all time when im home. Imagine how much more i could gain if it only enabled wifi every half hour to sync my stuff.
Also take into consideration i've been uploading all my pictures to dropbox for the past 1.5 hours. When i woke up 2 hours ago, i have 43% remaining. So dropbox drained 20% in 1.5 hours

I don't see a point really. My screen uses most of the battery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I dont understand how you can "not see the point". Even a save of 10%-15% gives you at least a couple more hours of up time...we all know there is no magical solution for such a hungry, battery guzzling phone, but why not make the best out of it and control what we can?
I guess I do see the point. Maybe I just don't care that much. It makes sense to try to maximize battery life, so maybe I will try it out. I don't care much for the idea of turning off data when the screen is off with manual sync times though.
buy a extra battery. or a car charger. juice defender and under volting will help but not much. just turn screen down your self and turn wifi off which leave house. i tried most bat apps there are. i don't use any now and get better life then most people. been work eight hours and I'm at eighty four percent still. that's with use lol. jd uses more then it saves

Any of you guys try that double capacity battery, if it really does give 100% more juice? I am debating over it because it also makes the phone heavier and almost twice as thick... the slim form factor and weight is one of my fav parts of this phone so..

I'm sure they sell it elsewhere but it is all over ebay and I was tempted:

I love my slim form so I may just get like a battery 3 pack and always keep a couple charged in the fridge or something... when I go out for a while it can easily fit in a back pocket or bag for emergency.
thinking about getting my battery swapped if VZW lets me (have had the phone since 7/10).. if not, then get a new one. but before i go into the store, i wanted to see if you guys think this is normal battery life from these screenshots. i have GPS off, Google location on, and only my Google account (Gmail, contacts, calendar) is in sync. i'm running a rooted stock rom (debloated VZW and Samsung apps by me).
in addition, the back of my phone gets really hot during regular data use (web, Facebook, Instagram, Engadget and Verge apps, ESPN, etc.. no games), to the point where it's uncomfortable to hold. i've heard that there might be a batch of bad batteries for the earlier shipments, so i was wondering if mine might be one of them. thanks for any input.

Do you have 4G on at all times? I think my battery might be pretty bad too...I've been losing 10% every hour, so my phone pretty much lasts only 10-12 hours. I'm impressed by your 1 day battery life. Even if I have wifi only on and turn 4g off, I still only get 10% every hour. I think something might be wrong with my battery...I've factory reset it many times before too, wiping cache, and dalviks, I'm now on the stripped rooted stock.
that's not bad battery life. Especially sense it looks like you are not in great coverage area.

After using the Chrome app for 30 minutes straight, my phone doesn't get noticeably hot. I've also used the Engadget, Verge, and Facebook apps for 10+ minutes in a row, and it doesn't get hot. The only time I have seen it get hot is playing games and charging. Even then, it's not bad.

haven't had a proper measurement of the temp, but it feels like it does reach the upper 90s, and that's with light web browsing, so that's what worried me.
it's just that i see people who claim "heavy use" and get 4+ hours of screen time, which i found hard to believe, if they really are pushing the phone a lot, so i just thought maybe something's up with mine. thanks for all the input so far.
Looking at your battery consumption log, I'd say your battery life is pretty great.
Seeing as how your cell standby is 50%, you're either using a lot of 4G or you're in a crappy signal area. Or both. Haha.
Even if you buy a new battery, chances are that you won't get better battery life. Just charge the phone overnight and unplug in the morning. As a general rule of thumb, if you can squeeze 16 hours of usage out of your phone, you're doing pretty great.
yup, that seems pretty darn good to me. I get about the same 4G coverage as you with Verizon in my home 2-3 bars max (-100 to -120dBm), and I get ~14 hours before my phone is about to die. I also think I just use my phone a lot more than you lol. You only had 2.45 min of on screen time in a little over 1 day. I usually have close to that in the 12-14 hour days with my phone.
Agree with last two post...what else are you looking for looks good....
Should I ask for a new battery? 3 hours 30 minutes 30 min screen time and down to 67% battery.
