Yup, me too. Maybe battery life improves within the week.

There's a discussion about battery life posted here already:

ArindamKernel vs dhirus kernel

Which one is best for battery performance?
I'm asking this because I have a short battery life on my CM9A10 and vurrutKERv1.8 is sait to have good performance but bad battery life.
Tnx guys !
I would say vurrutKER CM9A10 seriously eats the battry on my phone..
, though if you take battry saving measures it may last for a day , which is desent enough )

I would like to know too which kernel is best for battery performance, as the battery life in CM9 is horrible compared to stock. Would someone care to explain why CM9 has lower battery performance then stock firmwares?

again with battery stats, I just posted something about this on viperS thread. It is a myth, a google engineer even said so, google search for "battery stats myth" and you will find it.

I was having awful battery issues. Itired all the fixes I finally got fed up an purchased a extended battery from mugen. It solved my issues completely. Now I have a battery that lasts for two days. If I'm using really heavy it's lasting about 24 hours. Yes it's the big battery 3800mah and yes my device is thicker from it but for me it's completely worth it. It still fits in my pocket and feels good in my hand. It was expensive but I was fed up with crappy battery life. So I paid the money. Honestly I don't regret it. I'm going to have to keep my phone for awhile any way so I might as well have a good lasting battery. This might also be an option for you? It solved my battery problems. Now I stay on 100%for two hours at heavy use! It's a give and take. You sacrifice the sleek thin phone but the battery life can't be beat. Sounds like your experiencing the drain like I was. I tired everything also but still I had a huge drain. I just wanted to share with you what I did to solve my issue. I know the thick phone isn't for every one. It just depends on the person. But it stopped my battery problems. Best wishes.

Which CM10 ROM?
Wow...really?
My battery is lasting me over 24 hours now, I've never had anything like this before. However, it all depends on your usage. Your screen uses up the vast majority of your battery life, and I don't sit on my phone all day. I also set the screen as dark as I can stand it.

Tell us which setting are you using... At the moment I am on mEMBER (based on bruce CM X) and I have badass and Bruce kernel. At the moment I have 42% battery remaining and 1h of screen usage. The phone is never deep sleep.
Uff uff

And here is the screenshot, usually when I am on sense based ROM I have a long flat period with battery at 100%, today it started to discharge immediately!

Are other builds giving you better battery life? If tried a couple of Bruce, I am now on mEMBER (based on bruce's ROM) and I've tried AOSP and AOKP. All of them showed pretty bad battery life, I cannot have the phone lasting an entire day. I think the problem is the deep sleep, as you can see from my top screenshot the phone is always alive.
Do you have same behavior? I am on bruce kernel 3.0.40 with BADASS
Ciao

Stop spamming with your stupid answeres everywhere. Publicity isn't allowed

[Q] Should I preorder? Battery issues still exist?

I was going to pre-order this device when it goes up for preorder on the 27th.
The only concern I have is the battery life. I'm coming from my HTC One M7ul and it isn't getting that great of battery life..
1. Does the OnePlus One have better battery life than the One m7 (for anyone that has had a M7)?
2. Has the battery drain issues been fixed with this phone?
I don't want to get stuck with a phone at has worse battery than my previous. I've only heard of "battery drain" issues from some forum posts.
Some critics say that the battery is "awesome" or "very good", but when I hear it from users that actually use the phone daily, they said it isn't that great... somehow even with a 3100mAh battery... strange.
What battery drain are you talking about?

Ummm...
battery drain = the battery doesn't last very long throughout the day, drains quicker than it should? lol

Ive heard about a few, but in most cases its about the user having unnecessary apps on.

Where are you getting this information? The battery and CPU combo on this device yields phenomenal battery life. It's light years better than the HTC.

From OnePlus One forums and here at XDA...
But yeah a 3100mAh battery w/ a 801 SOC should be pretty good.
Wouldn't doubt it would be better than the m7. Thank you!
No issues on battery life for me. Better than anything I've had before.

Keep in mind that battery drain issues are usually user generated, and are not the fault of the phone or software/firmware. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this device to anyone.

Got to admit when I read this I was like what the hell is this guy talking about. What were there like 3 people who complained about battery life. You got to be kidding me when people are posting 5-10hrs SOT.
Man listen just get the damn phone and you will love it...Thats it. some of the stuff I read in here makes me really wonder do you people really read up on this phone and see all the positive stuff said or do you just feel like creating a thread.....
My bad I know I know say what you want about me... Its late and I had to vent

haha thanks buddy.
I've been reading non stop to find the next best phone after i loved my M7.
This is the one I think.
A Cyanogenmod phone is always #1 to me. Especially being only $349 for 64GB model!!!

Best rom and kernel for increased battery life?

Hi
What would you guys say is the best rom and kernel for better battery life?
Do Cyanogenmod increase battery life at all or any other roms? Also, any known kernels that increase the battery life?
The battery on this phone is great for sure, but I'm a heavy user who spend most of my day outside (so full brightness), so would appreciate a little longer battery life.
Thanks in advance

Battery life thread

I'm getting some good life here. I'll put some details up soon. Others please chime in
