How are you doing on battery?

So I'm wondering how you guys are holding up with the battery. Can you last all day?
If not, do you have a spare battery or anything? Thanks.

Mine lasts about 16 hours on moderate use. I have Set CPU to be around 700mhz while screen off. That seems to help and the fact that im on the optimized TPC ROM makes it all better.

Figure 20 hours till the phone starts nagging. I do a lot of texting and emails throughout the day. Phone goes off charger at 6am and is back on charger by 11:30pm. Display brightness auto adjusts a lot too since I work outside a lot.

Mine seems to last the day. Well night in my case. But I just plug it in when I goto sleep. I ordered an extra stock battery from ebay for 6.98 shipped

Wait till you guys get ginger bread, they improved idle power drastically. I'm unplugged 15 hours right now and still at 71% battery on my nexus. Granted this was over night, but it was never this good before. Idle current stays around 10mA which is excellent.

My idle, on my inspire with TPC's froyo Rom, is anywhere from 1mA to 5mA with the occasional spike to 30mA.

Honestly you can ask, but in all its relative to: amount of use/what you are doing (ie:games or texting)/ROM/kernel/radio/health of the battery. Expect anywhere from 8hours-48hours depending on your usage. Though I have never played angry bird for 8hours straight....

That is very impressive. I need to try some more ROMs out there. The stock inspire here is at 24mA idle pretty regularly which isn't bad but not great.

I get about 12 hours of battery life with heavy use and 20 hours of moderate use. Usually I have the display on for three hours and sending about 100 texts a day about an hour calling with email coming in all day.

This post gives me hope. I am so sick of my iPhone 4, but have been scared the battery will suck on the Inspire. Anyone have/had an i4 and can compare with their Inspire?

IPhone 4 will definitely get better battery life than any android phone. But not too bad and totally worth it.

I pulled my phone off the charger at 8am, it's now just after 10pm and I have 46% remaining. I was browsing on wifi and playing words with friends for about two hours this afternoon, made a few calls, sent a few messages and regularly checked emails.
Battery life on my Inspire hasn't been as good as the Streak, but definitely better than my Captivate. I'm using SetCPU 1024 max/245 min ondemand for my main profile and 245 max 245 min ondemand for screen off.

The key indicator for me is screen-on time. Taking the phone of the charger at ~8am, by about 10pm, with gps off all day, and WiFi on only as needed (~1hr total), I'm at around ~15-20% battery remaining, with the total screen-on time being ~4.5 hrs for that day.
Most of that screen time is playing angry birds, so I'm sure that factors in somehow, as the screen doesn't seem to drain as much battery doing other stuff, as it does playing a processor-intensive activity like a game.

That's good, 4.5 hours of screen on time is a lot.

Losing 20%/Hour While Constantly Playing With Phone Normal?

I'd like to hear other folks experience on this. My 1 week old sensation, after numerous experiments confirms this, loses 20% charge per hour when I am continuously using it to browse the internet on 4g. Light setting is set at auto and was at its dimmest level throughout this experiment. I did play about 7 minutes worth of video on youtube during this time. All radios other than 4g were off. Gathering from this, the phone would last for 5 hours straight using browsing and/or playing with it. Is that a good battery life or should I exchange my unit?

Mine just went down from 100% to 75% in 45 min (Full Brightness). :/

Not good man. Btw , what kind of activity were you doing on it? I thought mines at 20%/hour was bad.

Killed my battery in 3.5 hrs today (browsing, Fruit Ninja, etc). 20% per hour is good. You can't expect much more at this point until custom kernels start rolling in.

I was browsing while watching a boring movie with someone for over an hour yesterday. The battery dropped by a little less than that amount. maybe around 15%. That isn't that bad.
I am using Opera Mobile as my main web browser.

I get about 10% for 45 minutes of non stop usage with multiple apps, though no multi tasking.
I get about 25% for 40 minutes of internet use.
Out of the box (when i got it) dead in about an hour of use. It was at roughly 40%.
It might have do with something, though my phone died when it said 1%, but i used BattStatt to see my percent, if that has an affect(affect, effect, you know what i mean).

yesterday night my battery was at 10% wen i went to sleep nd today morning i found my phone on 8% .
that means 2% for a night .. preety impressive ..

So this is normal? I read that you should be able to get at least a day of use out of your phone. After 4 days of charging then dischargeing I cannot get past 8 hours even with having data turned off. Should I return my phone and get a new one or should I hope that it gets better?

I got 20 hours (25% left) with heavy heavy usage and I hadn't fully charged it. Of course my screen isn't on blast and when I first get my HTC phones I let the batteries die all the way then charge it fully without bothering the phone. Seems to work in my favor.

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.

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.

New question about battery life

*New* How much does your battery drain per hour. I can't remember what it was with the Note but I think it was 1% an hour. I'm at 90% currently after 5 hours so that's more than 1%. *New*
*Old* Man I have the absolute worst luck in the world. I had a phone with great battery life but had to return it because of light bleed. Now this phone is down to 92% after only 20 mins off the charger with 19 mins of use. I'm literally watching the battery decrease. That seems unacceptable to me. I never noticed it draining that fast on my previous one. But everything else on this phone is prefect. I can't win.
After 5 hours it is down to 59% with 44 mins screen on time.
I'm pretty sure I'd still be around 80% on the phone I had to return. I can post pics of that phone's battery life also if you want. *Old*

How about using it for more than 20 minutes before making your judgement call?
My battery meter is always a bit off, sometimes I am below 90% before I even get into work at 9 AM but it ends up lasting until 2 AM.

This, definitely.

I definitely think there are some serious calibration issues on my phone as well...
TWRP recovery always shows 10-15% more battery than I see in the ROM ...also, when I reboot the phone the battery% comes down by around 5-10% and when I connect it to a USB cable to transfer some files , the battery% goes up by 5-10% in 2 mins ...
but the good part is , my phone still shuts down when the battery % reaches "0" ... so I am good with it

Hmm. Interesting. In all the smartphones I've hard previously (Sanyo zio, HTC EVO 3G, HTC Inspire 4G, HTC ONE X), the battery drains quickly. I'm a field technician so I drive a lot. I've found that usually the battery will die near the end of the day if I don't keep it on a charger at some point in the day. Normally when I'm driving, its plugged into the car charger. And really I don't think I do a whole lot with it. Well actually, I do everything with it. But I'm not gaming or anything like that. Mostly bluetooth calling, browsing the web, sending emails, taking photos, etc.
I do agree, don't make a judgement call when its 92% battery.

I was getting 1 day and 5 hours with 3 hours screen on time consistently with the previous phone. The best I've gotten with this one is 20 hours and an hour and 45 mins screen on time. Maybe I just need to put this through its paces longer. Who knows.

Battery meter isn't calibrated out of the box. Charge to full, and use until 10-20%, repeat a couple times to calibrate the battery meter. Then make judgement on battery life.

That looks relatively the same stats I get on a slow(er) day... But with that said, I use my phone for everything and scrambled eggs. So far today, as I'm on the train to work, I'm getting a LOAD of screen-on time; 1.5 hours of screen on time (lots of reading, lots of emails, lots of music going on all at once, all the time) and I'm at 58% after 2.8ish hours of total "up time".

If they can't make these phones consistent for every user them they shouldn't sell then at all. If they took more time making the batteries insteadof rushing them through the line as fast as possible then maybe there wouldn't be so many problems.

Batteries tend to do so, especially if you are constantly playing music or videos and even games without having them connected to a power source. The constant draining of a battery can do a number on them.
Oooooor if you are on the newest rage 3.6 rom, it eats battery like a mofo.

I've been at work and had my battery at like 80% and started streaming radio on it for about 4 hours and ended up having like 30% after that 4 hours... I'm on Reactive's ROM. I wouldn't be able to have a phone that lasts only 4 hours because i'm constantly on the move and have no time to charge it.
The only time i've had such short battery life is when my battery had fried and i needed a new one. But this was on my Nokia 5530. I've had the sidekick since it first came out btw and no issues. Try recalibrating the battery though... maybe that'll help

Ymmv, just installed back to basics, lasted all day with it heavy usage too. I mean youtube, music, twitter, texting and a few calls. I can definitely say it is not my battery.

I'm with eurohomie... I just installed RAGE3.6 yesterday. Battery was at 22% when flashed. After configuring everything, battery was down to 1% when I plugged it in. Then I charged it overnight. I did not clear battery stats or anything.
It has been unplugged for 14h41m18s now, and currently still has 71% left!!! I didn't use it that much today, but WiFi has been on the whole time, used about an hour talk-time, and used about 2 more hours reading internet news. It says WiFi used 30%, Display used 33%, Standby 18%, Voice Calls 10%, Idle 9%.
This is exceptional, however, with any ROM I always get about 20-hours of heavy use or 35-hours light use. Even with GPS navigating or playing 720p movies, it lasts over 4 hours strait.

I would like to use rage but all the darn time my apn doesn't work and idk how to modify the apn

Is this from constant use? Or just checking it for texts every now and then. Because my sidekick is exactly like that, but its usally around when I flashed a new rom, so I just use battery calibration and that sets me off right.

I can't answer for him, but it is for me. In the first 30% of the battery dies really fast. The rest goes a bit slower.I'd drop from 100 to 80% battery from just watching a few videos online on netflix, under 45 minutes. After that my phone runs sluggish around 60% as if it was limiting how much cpu power it is using. I can compare the performance to my old g1 when its running at 60% battery. Constant use on that rom will only get me 8hrs total, 10hrs at the most on standby.
Just flashed back to basics to act as a control, battery drain is less than rage.

With my sidekick it is usally around 50-60% that I start getting the most force close errors, and freezing, and if im listening to music, and start browsing the web, I can most certainly know that if I go to a heavy website then it will freeze the UI and music will keep playing. But, if I pull out my beats cord, then give it a minute (sometimes I just have to hold down pwr) the launcher will reboot (like an iPhone respring), and will still be slow so I still end up having to reboot. I can most definately say that the Sidekick 4G is a BAD phone.

Is this from constant use? Or just checking it for texts every now and then. Because my sidekick is exactly like that, but its usally around when I flashed a new rom, so I just use battery calibration and that sets me off right.

Also remeber battery temp plays a factor to battery life 80 to low 90 seems to work well with proloning battery life

Yea, when it's that constant use that's what always kills it. And for you other post battery temp is a major factor in this, I can honestly say if your battery is more than 100 degrees its gonna wayy faster, and if its more than 100 degrees a day... it's time for a new batt, slim. I KNOW that will fix this problem COMPLETLY.
