Post your best battery life - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you post your configuration (i.e. ROM, kernel, radio) along with average battery life?
I'm trying to find the golden combo of ROM/kernel/radio/configuration to squeeze as many hours of life from my battery as I can.
Please post up!! I'd like to see what people get/have.
Thanks

i managed to watch Rambo First Blood all the way through and was then able to screw around on the web for nearly an hour before the battery died.

Wow thats really good!! I am on same rom and "only" make it through day. Are you on wifi when you get home? I am on it now. I took it off charger this morning at 4AM and its now 821PM and I am at 26%. Can prob make it til tomorrow morning again. May have to try your settings and see what happens. Did you have to recalibrate battery? Also are you on an extended battery? I am on stock.

No, I use LTE all day. Yes, I calibrated the battery. Yes I have the extended battery. The most I got with the stock battery was 25 hours.

This is about normal for me. Gingeritis 3d beta 6, Ziggys kernel, and chingys new radio leak. Heavy use throughout the day.

Original battery, Liquid 1.4 ROM, radio is MR2.5.
Off the charger at 6:30 AM showing 96% now with no use. WiFi and BT are on, Network is automatic, showing LTE now.
I'll edit this post later today when the phone's been on longer.
Disregard, constant reboots have caused me to unroot and flash back to stock. If it reboots again it's going back to VZW!

Thanks guys! Keep it coming, I'm liking what I see... I might go with Gingeritis, but it's sense, and I reaaallly want an AOSP ROM.. any good bat. life AOSP's??

I was on wifi the entire time, but still not bad drain on standby. No twitter, fb set to never refresh, weather refreshed 4x/day, some pandora and gtalk.
Standard battery w/ dasBamf 1.8.6 remix, lean 2.6.0 kernel set to interactive x 245/~1400.
I would probably charge it <36 hours if I were on 3g.
I've switched to CM7 recently and I get somewhere around 20ish hours on 3g.

I've gotten 14 hours of moderate/heavy use out of DroidTh3ory's roms... Right now I'm on his AOSP, at 13 hours, and 20% left, but again, I'm ALWAYS in my phone for something

And that's on 4G?

gingeritis 1.1 pretty heavy usage when i actually used it but did kind of sit around idle for a while.

I'm getting a lot excellent batt life. I am on the gingeritis 3D VI with stock battery.
I would say about 60% idle and 40% in surf the websites at my work. I tried conservative battery life on CM7 and OMFGB. Always under 15hrs emptied the battery life and Gingeritis 3D VI blew AOSP away. =/

thunderbolt battery compared to rezound

So I am getting a new phone tomorrow since my thunderbolts AUX port is screwed up and I don't have warrenty anymore.
Currently I am on cyaogenmod and I say I get maybe 30% more battery compared to stock from... I noticed with many 2nd Gen 4G phones they get maybe 30% better battery stock vs stock.
Wondering if anyone else here came from a thunderbolt could give me an inside on how their battery experience is
Thanks
I just switched yesterday, and so far, with no tweaks, it's substantially better. This phone is everything the Thunderbolt should have been.

Am i reading this correctly? You are getting 28-35 hrs on a Rezound!
I charged mine overnight took it off charge @ 7AM and at 8pm i had about 25%. Throughout the day i used the browser for a total of 20min played a couple of games for a total of 15min and used the phone for about 1 hr.
This really sucks - i came from and Dinc with a 3500mah seidio that would have 75 -85% after a minimal usage day like that.
Another thing, i am rooted running Nils' ICS Rom v2.2 and i have setcpu running to clock the cpu down to around 192 when not in use.
How in the world are you getting this kind of batt performance from the Rezound? What Batt are you using? Are you using the tbolt batt in the Rezound?

I heard the stock DINC had horrible battery life, so probably better than that.
Without a doubt, the battery life with the Rezound is much better than the Thunderbolt.

I am also very curious as how this is possible? What is your set-up? Settings? I take the phone off the charger at 6:30 and by the time I get home at 5 I am lucky if I have 20% left.. Granted I'm still constantly playing with it being only 2 weeks old but.. still seems pretty ****ty!
I've had my Rezound for a few months and the first couple of weeks I loved the phone but hated the battery, but after I broke in the phone and finally stopped messing with it all day long I get really good battery life. I can take it off the charger at 5:30 am and have moderate usage (texting, maybe 45-60 minutes of gaming, phone calls, Internet, etc) and when I plug it in at 10:30 when I go to bed I usually have 30-40% left on average.

I get around 16hrs. dual core constant, FB, words with friends, texting, winamp with bluetooth headphones.
Do you have that sync enabled in the background, that drains power.
Three things turn GPS off when not using turn auto brightness off and dim it down till you are happy.. Also make sure you don't have any 3rd party apps keeping your phone awake..
I can get about 24hrs of use outta my phone moderate use or more.. Calls,texts,xda app,youtube.. Anyway I am also on stock kernel... I use a Seidio 1900 mha batt slightly better compared to stock batt. Stock battery I could get about 18hrs with moderate use... If your on your phone playing for 6 to 4 hrs str8 that may kill your phone quicker lol.. Display is the main thing eatin up the juice...
In almost every bad battery post I always see bad signal. Turn off turn off the 4G unless you are actively using it.
This is what pisses me off about HTC phones lol. In battery threads all you see is "turn off, turn off, turn off." We've come so accustomed to it that we actually feel this is routine. It sucks.

freeza has ramdisk mods that help with battery life (old and new base)
my kernels also get great battery life (old base)
(depending on apps installed on ur device)
both these options help a lot, without disabling stuff
on warm 3.5 build 116 and my r14 kernel, default settings - i get 26-28 hours between charges with light to moderate use
heavy use - abt 14-16 hours (with over 70% of battery going on screen-on - lcd backlight will drain battery FAST...nothing to really do abt it except lower brightness)

Surely GPS won't actually be doing anything unless it's actively being used by Android, even if it is 'on'?
BTW... that guy on the first page.. under 4 hours and his battery is almost dead? Seems a little weird.. that's not right unless it's constant usage?

(q) Ics severe battery drain. any fixes?

So I've gradually been trying every ics Rom on xda including stock ruu leaks. With 4g off no CPU monitor or manager. The max I've gotten is 6-8 hours with less than 1 minute of screen on time on some occasions. My gb battery life is great. People are saying the latest leak is gonna be the ota if so how am I supposed to get greater or equal battery life to gb?

I'm not sure, maybe you keep getting bad installs? Maybe you should try to RUU to the latest so you can get the better radios, Idk.
I get essentially the exact same battery life on ICS as I do with GB. I posted my stats in the battery stats thread, but I can get about 24 hours off the charger, with 3.5 hours screen on with 4G on, when I'm in an area with it, on ICS and GB.
Also, by RUU are you having it flash everything, including the radios? Or are you just flashing a zip of a rom based off of an RUU?
I made sure I flashed with the ruu in hboot. And on any of them I get a fraction of my battery life. It's very frustrating. I'm s-off too. Ics just hates my phone I really hope the ota works for me. So anyone have any idea why I can't use any leak ? Should I ruu back to to stock then maybe ruu the New Ics leak?

you say screentime may be low, but does it show that your phone stays sleeping or is there a lot of awake time compared to the screentime? There might either be a rogue app or something that keeps running and wont let it sleep. Might try installing a battery monitor like Battery Monitor Widget to see what is draining your battery so much. BetterBatteryStats is a much better app, but costs $3. Bit pricey for something I might rarely use

betterbatterystats is free for xda members, just search for it
I bought betterbatterystats a couple weeks ago cause I was hoping that is was just a rogue app draining juice, but my awake time was pretty normal I dont remember the exact stats. The latest leak I just flashed turned off 4g lowered brightness and screen timeout. I didn't even install any apps so I could give the battery life a test drive. My battery dropped 15 in less than an hour without use. There's gotta be some reason why its sooo much less on ics than gb. I'm thinking about ruuing stock gb then hboot factory reset the newest ics ruu and con Rom. Anyone think it would help?

anybody can get that with an extended battery. reason it's idling that long is because you aren't using it. if you'd manage 2.5 days with over 5 hours of screen on time then I'd be impressed
It's not screen on time, but streaming Pandora or slacker for 8 hrs a day, facebook, web browsing, texts and calls throughout the day all with 4g running
I'm getting a replacement phone tomorrow so I wonder if that one can handle ics.

I had hell with ics on my phone was getting crappy battery life and some heat issues. I was getting upset because I couldn't get it to work. Finally got it up and running with good battery and hardly any heat. What I had to do was flash the ruu, go back to fastboot do factory reset, flash again, another factory reset and its now working. Most people say flash twice and do a reset but that didn't work so I did a reset between flashes and so far its doing good.
Edit added some pics. Those stats are with extended battery.

Refurb handles ics like a champ. 6 hours on battery and at 89. Old phone would have been at 60 on gb and dead on ics. Looks like a lot of issues I had on the old one weren't normal. Like flickering led for flashlight and USB port disconnecting if I moved it just a little, also my proximity sensor didn't always work. So far I'm happier with this phone.

Mine seems to wear down faster than it used to (not nearly as fast as the BAMF leak). I wouldn't call it twice as fast, just faster. What I have noticed is it also charges quite a bit faster than it used to. I like the faster battery charge, unless it's just giving us a false reading when it's not really full, which might also explain the quicker wear down.
I use the extended battery so wear down is less of an issue for me.
Make sure you check the battery menu under system settings. The first time for me the light turned green but under that menu it said it was still at 78 pct

I'm running liquid's ics (jmod) public beta 2 with the combo radio and my battery life is awesome. I haven't run it down yet, but it's easily lasting twice as long as my old gingerbread rom which could go a day without a charge and light use. When it's idling in ICS, the battery life seems to hardly drop at all.
I think I figured out why my battery wears down quicker. I've always kept LTE turned off. It's been on lately, so that would account for my additional battery drain.
I set battery percentage to show up on my lock screen, so it's easy to see the battery percent without going through the menu.
I got over 13 hrs. today. Most of the day I put the phone in CDMA evdo auto which helped a lot. I work in a lot of areas that don't get 4g so it drains my battery super fast searching for a signal all day.

I also noticed that the lower menu bar (home - menu - back - search bar) stays backlit all the time. Including when I push the button to turn the screen off.
I don't know if I accidentally did that while playing with all the settings, or if everyone else's is doing that too. Either way, I'm pretty sure that will affect my battery life as well.
Edit: A reboot seems to have cured my backlight issue.

liquid thunderbolt ics JMOD from XDA-Developers App
My battery life has been horrible for months. I can leave my phone plugged in all night and it will only charge to 52%. If I turn it off and charge it for a couple hours it'll read 72%. That is as high as I can get it to go. No fully charged. For about the last 3 weeks it'll drain in about 2 hours. I've been running the new radio recently and still see no change. I even turn off LTE and still don't see much of a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Drain it and charge 8 hours with it off then reset battery memory.

[Q] Battery Degradation/Battery Life Question

Over the course of the past month I've appeared to have a drastic decrease in battery life. Just wanted some opinions. I've switched between AOKP, Neo-AOKP, and Rage (which I am currently on), and there seems to be little difference (or at least, nothing is making it significantly better). I always do full wipes before installs. All GPS features turned off, brightness around the 30% mark, no task killer, JuiceDefender running on default balanced settings. See screenshots below for additional information. From 100% to the time of these screenshots I've done about 15-20 texts, 2 phone calls that were both less than 60 seconds, 5 times or so on Facebook (just scrolling through feed mostly), and a total of 5-10 minutes on the internet. I guess what I'm wondering is: Is it possible that my battery has somehow degraded over the past month? And, should i be getting better battery life than this? I am on the stock/standard Rezound battery. Thanks!

I dont think 3:15 screen on over 7 hrs and being at 20% is bad...

Try a vanilla cm9 build.

My battery has also become worse. Screen time uses about 1.5% per minute. Abysmal.

Gray The Wolf's build or my own build from the megathread. They are as close to vanilla as you can get.

thanks! i might have to give one of those two a try as there jsut doesn't seem to be a culprit for why my battery life has been so bad on aosp regardless of what kernel/gov setup i've tried using. maybe the apps/setup i have doesn't work well with rage and all it's tweaks.
looks ur phone reseting it self every time
cos the 3% used in gsam

I used to run juice defender. It doesn't seem to play well with AOSP, causes lots of wakeups. Try uninstalling/disabling and seeing if it helps, particularly overnight. I don't have any proof but my battery seems to be lasting longer without. (About 5.6 pct per hour during the day, 1-2 pct per hour overnight)
Personally, I use setcpu to make profiles for screen on and off. Screen On, I use Intellidemand tho Neo swears by Lazy. For Screen Off, I set max clock speed to 700 ish mhz and put governor on Wheatley. I can say one thing for sure, Wheatley makes the phone deep sleep very well, assuming you don't have a sync issue or frequently updating widget interfering.

There seems to be a discrepancy between your battery usage monitor and your GSam monitor. Your battery monitor is showing 7 hours plus while the GSam is showing 3 minutes plus since charged.
For the 69% on screen, how long was the screen actually on? Touch the screen percentage to see how long your screen was on. Right now, I am at 13 hours plus with 50% left. My screen is at 65% and has been on 1 hr 53 min. Indoors, I also keep my brightness at 20%.
It seems that some folks have also said they find juice defender to use more battery than it saves. Try uninstalling it and see what happens.
I am using Nils' Business ICS4.0.3, Sense 3.6 ROM and having great battery life with the standard battery.

umm.. i don't use jiuce defender. it's terrible and usually ends up causing worse battery drain than without
Snuzzo - it seems, for now, that your recommendation to go with a vanilla CM9 seems to be the trick. I'll have to monitor over the next few days to be sure, but with the same setup i was running on rage, where i would lose about 3-4%/hour with the phone just sitting and going to sleep, i've only lost 1% in the past 2 hours while on your most updated (10/16) build with your 1.5 kernel..
would i be able to run more recent versions of your kernel on you 10/16 build?
I haven't done 1.8 and 1.7 has the minimum frequency voltage fixed plus a couple extras. Don't try running 1.6 as it was very experimental.
