Here are the settings I'm running on CM7 to get amazingly bananas battery life (with the display being on for about 5 hours!)..
1. Conservative governor: 245mhz - 1017mhz in CM7 settings
2. Install the 'BatteryCalibration' app from the market. This app caused the single biggest improvement for me after having flashed so many roms and never calibrating the battery. If you've calibrated it before though, I don't think it'll be very useful for you.
3. Install 'NoBars' from the market to automatically turn on airplane mode when you have no service. (This might be useless to some of you if you always have a signal; Very useful in NYC subway though)
4. Use a 2G toggle widget to have the phone only use the Edge connection when you only need it to receive calls/ texts and don't need the high speeds. I use the toggle widget in the CM7 notification bar. HUGE battery saver.
Give these a shot and let us know how they work for you
I've reached the end of my day and here are my final stats..
Mmy display has been on on over 5 hours now and I have 5% of the battery left. Seems more than good enough for me. Hopefully it will be for some of you too
Edit - Updated with more recent stats

Question: It's cool that your display was on for 3 hours, but what did you do as far as app usage??
If you did use your phone "a heck of a lot" wouldn't some apps like "internet" "maps" or something show up on the battery use %'s???
For example, currently, other than phone idle, cell standby, voice calls and android, there's also internet, mail, maps, and other apps that I used today alot.
Good observation. I have no idea how android chooses which apps to show on there, but I think it depends on the ROM? I remember on Iced Glacier cell standby would barely use 5% of the battery and on CM7 it uses >40% consistently. Idk.
Maybe what those apps used up here was nothing compared to the display, wifi and phone idle time.. Just a guess.. But I did use the browser and xda app and listened to music via the Rdio app running in the background several times throughout the day, and sent multiple texts and have had my wifi on for about 5 hours now. I can't really find a menu that would show these statistics except in the Spare Parts app, and here you go..
I got 17 hours just yesterday with 9% left with moderate to heavy use (texting, web browsing and ps1 emulation).
I didn't do anything besides use faux's kernel with the smartass govenor. I have the max speed overclocked to 1.8 as well...
Nice. I just got over flashing new kernels for a while since the stock CM7 one has everything functioning perfectly and new kernels would improve on something but mess up something else in my experience.
I can't seem to find a 2g toggle widget that works with Royal Glacier. (one touch, I've found a few that take you to settings) When I was running Royal Ginger I would always use the one that came in the notification bar.
Wifi status is also a good app to remind the forgetful to turn off wifi when they leave the Area.

This is GREAT battery life... i wonder what word i'd use to describe mine.
i Pulled my Phone off the Charger this morning @ 7:20pm EST. Now it is 3:13 EST. and i've got ~50% left. So thats what like. 7 hours
neidlinger tap that 'screen on' tab and lets see how long your screen was actually on for?
Either way congrats, and it's good to see ppl are over the battery issues.

since my last boot. 8:10AM when i loaded the new CM7. 1h 1m 59s.
Unless I'm missing something, the 'BatteryCalibration' app won't increase your battery life. It will just help to get a more accurate reading of your battery level.
I've played around with different roms and kernels. And yes, they do have a small effect on battery life, but not all that much.
Here's my tip for battery life. Get on ebay and buy one the of the cheap packages from Hong Kong with 3 batteries and a standalone charger. Like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-New-1500mAh-Battery-Charger-HTC-Mytouch-4G-Merge-/290556738794?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a687fcea
I bought a similar package a few months ago and now I never have battery problems. Nor do I have to take a chance on wearing out my micro-usb jack like I've seen happen on a lot of other phones.
Maybe. All I know is my battery increased dramatically after running that app once.
I measure battery life by how many hours I am able to keep my display on before it dies rather than how long after it comes off the charger (like nedilinger does). My battery used to die after about 3 hours of the display being on. Now it consistently lasts 5 hours.
Anyway, I was just trying to let others know what I did to get a really good battery life on my phone thinking it might be helpful. Apparently that's not appreciated. Thanks tho.

How long does 1 of those batteries last?

simple way to get awesome battery life without any extra steps is to install RoyalGlacier 1.6, that's all. A couple days ago I ran my phone for one and a half days before charging it again, and it still had 14% battery left. RG is pretty much a polished version of CM7, runs blazing fast and smooth.

Better than what's reported under CM7. The battery life I posted above was on RG.
you say you don't sacrifice 4g but you admit you have a 2g/edge widget?
To me "not sacrificing 4g" means not ever turning it off, maybe i'm mistaken
I had battery issues, I'd have to charge it mid day else it would die. Juicedefender helped a bit (claimed to do 1.7x battery life) but I uninstalled it, rooted the phone, and uninstalled a bunch of stock apps
For some reason now my battery lasts a very very long time, don't know how or why that is. I also admit I don't use it as heavily as some people, but my habits have not changed and I did have to charge it mid day (like i said) even with little usage

Obviously, it's hard to say without describing how I use my phone, but I get probably 10-15 hours of medium-high usage. I probably get about 4-5 hours of talk time. I'd say the Chinese ebay batteries probably last 80-90% as long as the OEM battery. Quite decent considering the price.
My earlier thoughts about the BatteryCalibration app could be wrong. I don't really know all the details about how Android battery calibration works. I just assumed that it simply learns about all the bad spots in your battery so that your phone doesn't instantly jump from 80% to 30%. I also assumed that the phone would die when the battery had no power left, as opposed to when it says 0%, but maybe that's not the case. Regardless, if it helps you, more power to you and I appreciate you sharing the app. I didn't mean to come off as an unappreciative ****. If I did, sorry bout that.
I think my battery is discharging really fast. I have power saving mode on and brightness at about 30%.
Wifi is always on"unless im sleeping" ram is at about 600+ all the time. Can anyone help me figure out
how to slow down the discharging, and are there any recommended apps for solving this issue?
Go to settings> battery and check battery use specs.
If you're getting more than 7 hours of screen time in a charge, you prob have nothing to worry about.
If you're getting less, check what else is eating it up

At heavy use with max brightness and screen always on batt should be worth 9-10 hrs of working time.
Some apps (esp. Weather apps with warning function as well as some widgets) actually suck away the battery like hell .
Get "better battery stats"and run it for a day and You will know which app/widget is the sucker.
On my old Note I had a "sucking " event after a ROM update: 30% in 30 minutes. With the experts here I solved this in minutes.: :laugh:

I think it would go down in 4 to 5 hours if im using it non stop with power saving on and 50% brightness.
That is normal I think nothing to be worry about
Yeah, most tablets would last just about 5-6hrs with heavy use.
That said, I can probably get like 7-8hrs of good usage.
Watching videos, esp HD and on-screen widgets are usually the main culprits.
Hello,
I'm new here and have a quest about my new tablet
I bought the Transformer Pad Infinit a few days ago and I think that I could use the battery for 9 hours more or less.
But my battery is extremely weak, I just use this 3 or 4 hours with the GPS off and bluetooth off too. The wi-fi is just on in the half of this time, and waht I do in this time is play some games and use the internet. I use the "Energy Economy" mode all this time and the light of the screen is in 20%.
I guess my battery is more weak than others... What can I do to "fix" it?
I would to say "thanks" for everyone, and I'm sorry by my english, I don't know english so well
The battery in your Infinity may be not charging to 100%.
I don't get 9 hours with moderate use...I see around 6 hours.
My wifi and GPS are always on and the screen is about 30%.
The batteries aren't supposed to have "memory" meaning: they should be able to be charged over and over from any discharge level back to a full charge.
There also might be something running in the background that is taking down your battery charge.
Have you browsed the battery saving tips in the stickies here in the TF700T forums?
Is your Infinity the LTE version by any chance?

First: Thanks
I search in the internet and I found that the Li-Ion batteries have to charge arround 30%~50%. I do it much times.
I was using a animed wallpapers and I change it by a normal wallpapers. I guess this make some efecty
I search here in the forum too, things about the battery saving, I found somethings that can be helpful, but no "so beautiful"
I don't have the LTE version, I guess nobody have it, Asus is so stupid when we talk about "3G/4G"
I don't know why, but mysteriously, the tablet use about 600mb of RAM and also nothing is running, just the things of the systen.
I guess it's strange, maybe that interfere in the battery life no? But how can I "fix" it? SImply have notthing running and 600mb of RAM are in use.
Thanks again, and again: sorry by my english

That's OK. Unused RAM is wasted RAM, and unused RAM uses exactly the same amount of battery as used RAM, so no need to fix anything here. Interesting for battery use is CPU utilization by running processes.
I have to admit the battery life is not brilliant on this tablet. It very much depends on the usage, this wasn't really the case with previous LEAST powerful galaxy tab 8.9. Even during playing games it easily lasted 8-9 hours.
Worst infinity battery times observed ( balanced mode, brightens < 30% )
- playing hard core 3d games, like dead tigger, battery dead in 3-4 hours
- playing less intensive games, battery dead in 5-6 hours
- browsing battery dead in 7-8 hours.
- watching movies, battery dead in 8-9 hours.
so anything between 3-9 hours can be normal with infinity. I cannot even imaging battery life in performance mode, IPS+ full brightens
I was with fear, 'cause for a moment thought that my battery was the only one that is "not so beautiful" But I saw that is not a problem with my tablet and yes with this model.
I'm Brazilian, here the Asus is a perfect nothing. Here we have just the TF101 who comes with 1 year delayed. So I buy the tablet in other country and I don't have warrancy, if my battery was with some problem I don't know what I would.
Here if I call to Asus they would hit the phone in my face before I can say "Transformer"

Ummm...
So you ... own the Asus Infinity TF700T?...or the TF201?
...don't get hit in the face please!...especially with a phone...maybe a small phone wouldn't hurt a lot.
I hope your face doesn't get hit though...
God I love Google Translate... :laugh:
Asus very clearly says "Battery life tested under power saving mode, playing 720p video playback, Brightness:100nits, default volume with headphones." on their website. If you try something else, you'll get different results. Basic scientific fact.
Also, I can't stress this enough: Kill off all bloatware! No you don't need to root the tablet for it (most of it, anyway.) The more processes you run in the background, the more power they consume. Simple as that.
And WiFi EATS battery like you wouldn't believe. It's so horrible it's not even funny. The WiFi unit is very powerful, which is why it eats so much. So yes, using WiFi will eat your battery.
andoid uses RAM differently than Windows. Forget how it works there. Android reserves RAM for processes, even when they're not in use.
Could be the Google Location bug? there's info on that here somewhere too.
Go to settings --> Battery and see what uses the most percentage.
Hi there,
I bought my one plus a month ago, and am getting around 3.5 screen time.
It is disappointing as I see screenshots of people with one plus who are getting 6 -10 hours screen time.
I am on battery saver mode, not using music, whatsApp, wase games or facebook, just a little bit email and browsing.
At night it is not going down a lot, but when I start using the phone, it goes down quite quickly.
(1 percent every 2 minutes, sometimes every minute). It seems to get worse every day.
If I start using GPS or video or music, my battery will be finished by noon.
I replaced the battery, and it is the same.
Attached three screenshots. (Including the night)
Help please?
Thank you!
I share you the same feeling when I see others having impressive battery performance specially screen-on time.
I have exactly the same drain behavior of yours, when my phone in deep sleep its sleep like a baby. but when I wake it its become beast awakening.
I run 3g when I am out and wi-fi at home, also running regular apps, whatsapp,snapchat,2emails,1gmail,instagram,web browsing, auto brightness,greenify. I checked with BBS and WLD but no culprit. I am on stock rom with root for the apps, no system tuning.
So you can see my setup is like most of regular users will do but noticeable difference in term of battery performance. I have no clue
Your battery life is fine, better mine
Who has a lot of SOT usually doesn't turn off/on the screen that much. The secret to achieve a lot of SOT is making long session on the screen (and having few apps, like you). So no worries I'm at 64% now with 1 hour of SOT, but I flash updates (CM 12) everyday and wake up the phone only when I need it, with 1-2 minutes sessions.

That isn't really true, I have over 100 apps installed and I turn my screen off whenever I'm not actually using it. I'm a heavy user. I get roughly six hours of screen on time.

Hi,
Well, at least I am not the only one....
The problem is that it is getting worse every day and now I lose one percent in a minute!
Horrible! I have to charge it twice a day, and I barely use it.
I have no root, am not using any of the apps, only a little bit of browsing, and checking mails.
If I try to use waze for a half of an hour or a little bit of music (max 30min, I get only about 2 hours screen time!
It seems really poor from a brand new battery.
I have no clue what to do, or what is causing it. If anyone have suggestions, i will be glad to hear!
Are you using the stock OPO rom? because I always had a poor battery life, I had all kind of protections to keep battery life but when I saw, from 100 I had 70, it was awful, one solution I saw was to flash one custom kernel, somehow improved my battery life, but the final solution was to use a custom rom, I have experienced better battery life with 5+ roms rather than the ones with 4.x.x, maybe you should taste another android flavor and check if the battery life increases
How hard was it to change the battery? Was it soldered? Where did you get a replacement ?

Thanks for your comment.
Sorry, I don't understand much in roms ... I bought the chinese version color os, and changed it in fast boot to cm11.
My cm version is 11.0-xnph44s , android version-4.4.4
I believe this is app related. Some apps keep phones awake. I encountered this problem with my S3 because I have lots of apps. But since I made sure I only install apps I absolutely need in my oneplus, I get a fantastic battery life.

I don't have so many apps , and I installed all of them. I keep closing apps that are running on the background through the settings.
The funny thing is that it is getting worse every day.
Now my battery is going down one percent in 30-60 seconds!
I don't know what to do anymore.
So I got the s8+ two days ago and I gotta say, I'm not that impressed with the battery, my nexus 6p was more reliable.. Just got home from work and had ~17% left with 3.5h sot. This means that when I get home from work I'll have to charge my phone for half an hour atleast before I can go out and enjoy my spare time, I can't just go out straight from work
Anyone have any pointers?
Some key notes, no wifi at work (working within the government in Sweden is retarded)
And the 4g is pretty weak.
Brightness is around 50% and I have disabled bixby and 100 other services (package disabler)
Played games for like 1h
Some browsing, no video watching
Nobody called me during the say because I'm an asshole
That's pretty much it
Two days isn't really a good test to see what the battery life will be like. Especially since you are installing apps and setting up the phone.

I suggest use a black theme to save battery, as AMOLED screens doesn't need much power producing black color.
Also in the bottom of Battery settings, there's "always sleeping apps". Add all apps here that you don't need running in the background.
Also disable mobile internet if not needed, or at least turn on data saver.

Thanks guys, let's see if I end up with more %tomorrow after work
WOW! I wonder what's draining you so quickly? I'm getting right at 7hrs SOT with no WiFi and marginal cell service at work!
You must've disabled an app that keeps pinging the system. Try to enable all apps and go from there. You shouldn't have to disable anything. Just watch for resource hungry apps like Facebook or Snapchat

Yeah im not enjoying this.. it's been 3 hours, barely used the phone and im down to 80% already (30 min sot)
I renabled everything in package disabler again, won't be using it untill people get more comfortable and researched in the subject of matter.
4g signal is pretty bad at work though, and these idiots dont have wifi lol. (getting like 1-2 bars)
Maybe it was package disabler causing the problem, if you disable something which something else relies on it might constantly try and connect to the disabled package causing battery draining
if you do continue to have a poor experience i definitely suggest using a pure black theme, This will boost your SOT buy a few hours minimum

How are people getting 8-9 hours SOT... HOW
also I am using a black theme atm, it's the "high contrast" on samsung theme store
I appreciate the help
You may have a dud. I'm coming from a 6p too and I usually have about 30% batter at the end of the day when I was shutting down right before leaving. I run a dark substratum theme with brightness at 35%. I get 6hrs but I stream video and game off and on.Give it a few days and if things don't improve try a new one.

Hey man. I had this same issue when i bought my phone. Apparently my phone wasn't going into deep sleep mode. Install an app called CPU spy and you'll be able to see if you're phone isn't going into deep sleep due to an app. If your phone is going into deep sleep but you still have battery drain like that. It could be a defective device. Btw the issue I had was facebook app. I disabled it and now I'm getting at least 8:30 hours sot.

I am going to install cpu spy, I do use facebook, i dont know why tbh, might actually disable it and might just use the messenger app whitch is the app i pretty much only use anyways (for social media)
I have verified that I can return the phone unlike my note 3 that I bought a couple of years ago (battery laster 4 hours first charge, wanted to return it but since i had peeled the plastic off they rejekted it lol, such dicks xD)
Other than the battery being a big off the device is absolutely incredible, I am happy I gave samsung another chance, (I had sworn to never use a samsung device again after the note3)
again, many thanks for taking your time to look into my issue!
