Now that we have some huge updates and all these new roms I am curious who is getting the best battery with which rom with the most display time. I am on MIUI getting about the same battery I did with stock 3D. Only about 2 and half hours display time.
I am thinking about going to another rom but, I would like to see what rom could get the best display time.
All the AOSP ROMs for some reason give me terrible battery life. I tried ViperRom and it's battery life is decent. Synergy is okay. Right now, however, I'm using warm twopointthree and it has great battery life. Maybe the best I've seen so far.
Decks sense rom still gives me the best battery life, by far. I used it with the stock kernel and it kicked butt. Very stable overall. I've been getting a solid 19 to 21 hours on CM7 with normal usage, which is good too. I love aosp.

What's your guys display time on average

VirusRom InfectedROM_Eternity battery life and performance is awesome with stock kernel. Don't even use setcpu its works so well. Plus the Beats audio and sexy skins are a great plus. Of course if you're own your phone 24/7 its going to drain but at the rate its suppose too and it should be awesome in standby. Yeah Asop roms seem to drain.
I've tried pretty much all the roms. The most stable rom with the best battery life is hands down Myn's rom warm2point3

This is probably the best answer I've ever heard on the matter of battery life and is on par with mine.
Nobody seems to understand that battery life is determined by your usage patterns. So, the next person won't ever get YOUR battery life unless they use their phone like YOU. People also seem to forget that total battery life and awake time are completely different.
Awake time (actually using your phone) will not give you anywhere NEAR the amount of hours some people claim. If you continuously used your phone from a charge of 100% to 0%, NEVER letting it sleep, I would say anywhere from 3-5 hours.
Standby time (screen off/sleep) will definitely get you close to what some people claim. If you charged your phone to 100%, then let it sit in standby the entire time, I'd say anywhere from 24-36 hours.
Awake/Standby combined will average out anywhere from 8-12 hours depending on usage patterns, but can definitely spike up to 16 hours.
(These estimates are with the stock battery)

What's you guys battery comsumption in standby in mA?
According to Current widget mine is around 150mA and when in use t ranges from 400-900mA it is much higher than my previous Desire HD where I get 1-5mA in standby and 60-400mA when in use.
Does anybody notice the same?
I have 2 batterys and it is not enough to see me through 12 hours.
On CM7 VAlpha 3, I'm getting the best battery life I've ever had. When I plugged the phone in at 2:30 am this morning, I still had 54%, and that was with me waking up at 10:30 am. I'd been on battery for 14 hours with 7 hours of awake time (Mainly Cut The Rope, Plants vs. Zombies and Zombieville USA, but a couple half hour phone calls and about 70 text messages as well, also on wifi about 75% of the time).
Clean Rom 2.5 is money. Stable and I'm getting around 16 hrs from a full charge with moderate use. I get 1 bar of signal at work and at least 30-40 min of talk time all day with a little FB and Ebaying. Check it out. Also has a Rom updater app that'll let you download custom fonts, icons, colors, etc.
viperrom
I've been loving viperrom. I have a clean install, no battery saver apps. I just used the viper mod to adjust my cpu settings to be powersave when screen is off. And I'm getting the best battery life i've ever gotten.
Running at 30 hours uptime, i'm still at 37% battery with moderate use.

I bought myself and my wife a TB on launch day (yes I love being a guinea pig), and there are no 4G covered areas anywhere near here (all 3G). Both phones were properly charged after being activated and before being tested. My own phone was unplugged yesterday morning when I arrived at work at around 7:30 am and it finally died at midnight with light to moderate use (some phone calls, texting, web surfing, downloading apps, one hour of listening to music with double twist app and jogging with cardio trainer app)., Today my phone has been unplugged for five and a half hours and it's down to 80%. My wife is getting about the same battery life from her TB.
We knew from earlier reports that this phone lasted only about four hours running 4G LTE, and even WiMax running on Evo gave it terrible battery life, so I'm not entirely surprised that there are are still problems with this phone regarding battery life and 4G. I am almost relieved that I don't live in an area that has 4G at the moment.
Just to clear the air, I'm hoping that other TB owners who do not live in a 4G area will share their experiences with battery life so we know that this is mainly a 4G issue and not entirely a TB issue, and hopefully if that is the case, we can get a push for a 4G toggle until this issue is resolved.
Same here
I am getting better battery life out of this phone than I was on my Eris on GSB 2.0. I am very surprised. I use WiFi at home and that seems to really help but out in 3g....it really is quite good. I haven't had it in a 4g area so I can't compare but I have no complaints.
Even in a 4G area you can turn off LTE and get better battery life. I made a shortcut to the phone setting using anycut.apk to make a short cut to phone info. Got this from another thread on the forum. Works great.
My battery lasted 12 hours yesterday with what I would consider heavy use. An hour of gaming, 2 hours of pandora, about an hour of voice calls and checking facebook throughout the day. I'm very pleased with battery life. I was on wifi most of that time though and there is no 4g in my area.

Not very sure how to do that..can you explain how i can do this ..Thanks
Happy with battery life so far
So far my experience has been quite favorable. I have been using my phone quite a bit, navigator, text, browsing, games, fm radio (we really like that) and frankly the gloom and doom reports fortunately haven't come true for me. I am easily seeing 9+ hours.
I have had a couple of nasty freeze-ups while on the phone. The first one sent the phone on its own reboot, the second required the battery to be pulled (good night that is a challenge) since the screen and the buttons became unresponsive. I will have to watch that - a phone has to work as a phone or well, it is a mini tablet instead of a phone.
first full charge last night, off the charging this morning, after 10 hours of uptime unplugged, which included a few phone calls, facebooking, playing around for about 30-45 mins on games, i was still at 81%.
This is far better battery life than my evo ever was(until i rooted it and had CM7, was getting 3 days a charge then.) And if it says anything, it isn't rooted yet(working on that now) so I am very happy and impressed with the phone so far...
and as for a previous post. I was unaware that you could turn off 4G/LTE at all. My understanding was it was always on no matter what.
Agreed. When the TB is not switching from 3g to 4g. Battery is good

He is running a custom rom that likely dramatically governs the processor and other power factors. It was the primary reason I rooted my Incredible as the custom kernel I got had me go from 10% at the end of a 16 hr day in standby to about 80% remaining. So I could totally see 3days of light to no use from the EVO with a custom ROM.

yeah that is pretty much it.
CM7 is very very light, and also had SetCPU to down clock the processor to 245Mhz anytime the screen was off. It was also on the stock battery too. I have no idea what I could have gotten with an extended battery. That 3 days wasn't practical, but I made it happen non the less to shove it in a friend of mines face who kept his iPhone 4. I had an iPhone 4 and left it for the Evo, and he got mad about it.

if you look at the bottom you can see the screen was very seldom on, I always had wifi off, gps off, and 4G off. Phone was still at like 9% i think to when I took that screen shot. I could have gone longer but my phone is my alarm clock and I had to be up the next morning and needed to go to bed. Stupid jobs and having to work. haha.
After a couple of charge cycles I must say that I am very satisfied with the battery life on my Thunderbolt. I was at work the other day for 12 hours and the phone was at 35 percent when I left.
I agree. The Evo has terrible battery life out of the box but with CM7 and proper tweaks for it's settings, you can get pretty good battery life, even using a stock battery.
Considering that the battery for TB is a lot better out of the box than the Evo, at least for those in non-4G areas, I can only imagine how great it will be running CM7

the only thing that bothers me about it, and someone please chime in if I have no idea what I am talking about, is after pulling up quadrant and just looking at the info for my system, it showed my processor on my TB as running at 245Mhz at that moment, and capable of running at 1024Mhz.
I could be wrong but I thought the evo ran at 998Mhz right out the box and didn't change clock speeds.
So if this is the reason why battery life has been so much better out of the box, hopefully we can still make a gigantic improvement.

90% battery after 12.5hrs!
I keep all the radios on (4G, 3G, wifi, bluetooth, gps) and brightness set to auto.
...
I couldn't do a screen shot from the phone cuz no root yet
Manl, that's insane how efficient the new dual cores are!
Only if you dont use the phone. Hence your display percentage so low. Mine went about 12.5 hours on battery with the display on for 3h total
That is one thing that I don't understand about this phone. Sometimes, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it for 12 hours and the battery will still be in the 90's like you see above. Other times, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it and it will just slowly drain and be into the 60's or 70's after 12 hours (and it's still sleeping). Don't get it. Signal is always good here too.
I get about 3 hours of battery, and I don't even use it for calls really.

I know why my battery life sucks. I use it way too much... Lol... Underclocking to 685mhz works pretty well and the phone isn't all that laggy. It is definitely bearable.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The only days I get battery life anywhere close to that are the days that I am super busy and just don't touch my phone, except to answer a call or text. Days where I have too much time, I'll constantly be on my phone playing games, researching things, youtubing stuff, listening to music, and on those days I'll get 9-12 hours, which is still good in my book. It'll easily go over a day with very light usage. I can leave it off the charger at 100% over night, and it'll be at 97% or so when I wake up, but as soon as I get on that XDA app for 20 minutes I'll be down to 75%, lol. It's ironic that the XDA app is such a major battery drain, and that is one of the apps that I use the most.

If you get '3 hours of battery and don't use it for calls' then you either have a defective phone or lying. I do vallet and play Video's all day work 5PM-4AM and I never have to charge my phone although close to dead by the time I leave. 3 hours? I don't think so.
Fact 1: 9 times out of 10, if you don't use your phone at all, the battery will barely drain.
Fact 2: If you were to actually pick up and use the phone, you wouldn't get nearly as long out of the battery.
That's something that baffles me about people and keeping track of battery usage. They leave their phone sitting there over night and all day without touching it, and then have kittens when the battery percentage barely goes down. Well.. newsflash, that will happen if you don't use the phone at all. I guarantee that if you were to use the phone for any length of time the battery would drain a lot faster than that. So that isn't an accurate indicator of the phone's battery life.

I currently have a droid charge. It has a vastly superior screen compared to the thunderbolt, and a better gpu. However on standby, it destroys it's battery. I'm talking around 10% per hour just on standby. I was wondering what standby was like on your phones. Htc has been pretty good about this in the past and I may jump ship to the thunderbolt just for the ability for my phone to be there after a day of doing nothing. Thanks in advance.

It depends on several factors in my experience. Network coverage: are you on 3g or 4g? If 4G, how many apps are using it? If 3G, how weak is the signal? System settings: does the kernel throttle down the CPU with screen off?
I've had respectable experience with 3 HTC's recently; the dInc, dInc2, and the Tbolt. In my opinion, the dInc2 is what EVERY HTC should aspire to be. Completely lag-free, never a force-close, beautiful, biright, and color-honest screen, power to run any app, and better than useful battery life. I'm talking standby measured in days and talk time upwards of 6 hours or better. The Tbolt seems to dump about 5% to 6% per hour standby on LTE. Half that on CDMA. You might also want to theme everything on your phone as dark as possible. white text on black if you can find it. That screen will actually eat more power to produce the same brightness of white as a Super LCD. However, to produce the same brightness of red, it will consume around half the power. I've also noticed on my Tbolt that the Idle Process is eating a lot more power than i think it should and I'm not sure what to do about that... like around a third of the battery over 10 hours.
Thanks, I should clarify. This is actually happening on 3g with a strong signal. I rarely use 4g at all actually. I use an app that sets the phone to conservative cpu usage. I'm using juice defender and I'm hoping that will make a difference.
Really it all depends on a combination of what rom/kernel/radio your using, your coverage and your settings. Turn off assisted dialing, tell HTC, and phone finder as they tend to eat up alot of juice in standby. In install everything you don't use with titanium backup pro, including backup assistant, tell HTC, stocks, news etc... Turn all your sync acts to 4 hours or more, use auto brightness for screen brightness. Etc...

wow..... That's insane.... If you don't need the phone at night, I'd kill the radio and let it sit over night. It should use next to no power then. If it is, there's something quirky in the ROM or apps.
Yeah, compared to all the other android phones I've ever used, on the Droid Charge the os battery usage is pretty high. I don't really keep anything running in the background and even try to go with dark wallpapers seeing how it's super amoled+. No dice, it just sits in my pocket and dies. When I plot my batter use, it looks like I was talking on the phone. I find it kind of absurd that some phones allow you to talk on them for almost the same amount of time I can be on standby with this one. How long can the Thunderbolt last on standby. What are you guys averaging per hour on idle in terms of battery usage.
I usually go from 100%->84% overnight which is around 7 hours, so I'm losing ~2.3% per hour.
I keep 4G and background sync enabled. Currently running CM7 1.4 with Tiamat 1.0.4 undervolted.
Wow. I burn almost 10% per hour on standby with an undervolted conservatively governed phone on 3g. I'm really considering jumping ship. I'm willing to have an inferior screen and gpu if I can just have a phone that can last a day in my pocket.
i get around 10-15% drain per hour myself when my Thunderbolt isn't in use(even if i turn off mobile data and/or use something like juice defender).
heck, and just watching 1 movie on this thing kills like 50-60% of the battery.
i say phones just suck!(battery)

Gingeritis 3d beta 6, Chingys new radio leak and ziggys kernel (kernel comes with beta 6). No Oc or any tinkering with kernel, just settings in the phone for as little batt drain as possible. 3g and wifi when its available. I only use 4g if I need to dl something big like a rom and I don't have wifi available.

Well, I ordered my Thunderbolt today. I should hopefully have it by Wednesday since I ordered it so late in the day. I'm really hoping for a phone that doesn't commit suicide in my pocket while on standby.
Its all guna depend on your phone/batt/rom/kernel/radio and settings my friend
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
I really don't have a problem not enabling 4g unless I need it. Interestingly enough, when I looked at the specs of the thunderbolt and the charge side by side, the charge is rated for a longer talk time, but the thunderbolt is rated for a longer standby time, even though the charge has a substantially larger battery.
For battery life with the Tbolt my standby was always at 58% or more in 4G area. Until I installed "2x Battery" from the market and my battery has gone from lasting 6-8 hours to doubling and almost tripling my battery life. So definitely check that app out if you are having excessive standby waste. I'm pretty sure I got that app idea from here somewhere.
I'll definitely look into that. Thank you.
Tried last night with 3g on instead of 4g and I went down 8% in 8h10m. This is on the stock battery, so battery life is pretty good running AOSP. I remember it would drain a lot more when I used to run sense though.
@somai - i followed what you have the gingeritis 3D VI with ziggy kernel and I am losing battery life.
I charged the battery 100% and battery calibration set then I am getting loss 100% to 76% in 5 hours with moderate use.
I tried using the OMFGB and CM7 got damn good battery life 2-3 days in moderate use.
I don't understand why your gingeritis 3D got better than my gingeritis 3D. =/

I just switched yesterday, and so far, with no tweaks, it's substantially better. This phone is everything the Thunderbolt should have been.

I switched about 2 weeks ago now. Running everything stock, not even rooted and I can make it through a day no issues. I average 28-35 hours on a full charge with moderate texting, browsing, music, gps, and a ton of words with friends.

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?

can't really believe this. Words with friends alone is a battery killer just running in the background.
I have 2 2750 batteries and get 12-16 hours of moderate use.
How is the battery compared to stock dinc?

I can generally get through a 9 hour work day at about 70% battery. CleanROM, Incredikernel, stock battery. I browse of and on throughout the day (probably 1- 2 hours worth), maybe stream Google Music some.

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.
Have both phones.

Have you ever tried a tbolt batt in the rezound?

The phone works, but doesn't know how to read the battery. I took that as a bad idea, and didn't try again.

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.

Rezound stock. All my basic tweaks, no 4g here but am using the 2750. Couldn't be happier. All on 3g.

Pretty much as the title says really. There are some horror stories about the device not even lasting a full day with average use.
Not really when I can get 5 hours of screen time

You decide for yourself. I don't think that its horrible. Avg use will usually put me at 30% or so at the end of the day. Including social networking, browsing web, text messaging, minimal gaming

If your a heavy user chances are you wont get a full day, but thats most phones. I bought a extended battery case for mine from at&t and I get a full day and more with that. But if you use it for basic text and calling and a little internet here and there you should be fine!
Avg use throughout the day

I get my 15-20 hours with medium use. More than satisfied with that.

thats about what im getting too.
I think both the enlarged battery and JB increased the battery life substantially, as an avid anime watcher, i often use my phone for 720p playback for long sittings (lasting from 1-3 hours) and the batery only loses around 20-25% with the screen about 10-20% brightness which btw is decent enough for most indoor environments (the one x+ still has a bright display despite being a tad dimmer the og one x). Coming from an evo 3d the battery life is about 50% better and about the same if not slightly better than my father`s galaxy siii. Standby is very good and the phone copes well with web browsing as well however don`t expect great battery life during gaming. All in all i am very satisfied.

Ditto. Ditto.
With average use like making a phone call send a text message and occasionally checking the internet or use my phone as remote for my wdtvlive hub and wifi always on i now on 33 % battery capacity with 2 days 9 hours of time. Must say have have energy saver on.
Also checked it with heavy use. One day i had to go to a city by train. So went out the house with google music streaming on my bike. At the train station the train arrived , i sat down and started to surf the net (all still with google music streaming) Arrived in eindhoven and started up google maps to see were i had to be. Walked for a mile and a half all navigated by maps. (still with google music streaming ). When going back home started up maps to see were the train station was and started up google music again. Back in the train watched some youtube (now with google music off offcourse ) back in my place on my bike google music again till i was at home i still had 45 % battery capacity.
So im happy with this stats !
My battery life is pretty good, actually.
At first, when I received my One X+ I even thought of returning it in, and maybe buy a SIII.
BUT... after 1 month, the battery is perfect and lasts 1 day without charging mid-day.
However, I let my One X+ run out of battery completely before fully charing it the first four days.
Guys I am a heavy user and I love to play hd games a lot for prolonged duration's.
On sIII battery used to last a whole day atleast using phone non stop ,is htc one x+ for users such as me???
I mean I just love sense but so far didn't buy bcoz of horrible battery issues I got from experienced mates who were using htc smartphones.
Iam now happy with battery life i get - my average using i get almost 2days (power saver on, i swich off some times when needed).
The thing is when i first got my phone i taught i will return it coz bat didn't even last 1 day with low usage, BUT the problem was - i didnt discharge hone till 0% till it swichs off, - calibrate battery!
So yeah calibrate your battery first! If you are rooted you can do it with app for store, but if not (like me for now tho) just discharge it from full charged 100% like 3 times till it swiches off.
Is it okay to fully discharge your phone 3 times in a row???
Actually I have a decent battery life on my X+, 16-18 hrs a day, but I never discharge it until the phone shut down by itself
I get good battery life. Usually a full day.

I don't think you should do that. You should only fully let your battery die around once or twice a MONTH. I just usually want until my battery is 20-30 percent to plug it in

All the time on 3g... Could last for another day if I didn't browse so much

So there are a lot of variables to this. My experience is that if you don't need to use more than one email account, don't have that email account set up as an exchange account then the avg user will probably have good battery life.
If you're like me and have three exchange email accounts set up, then battery life is ridiculously horrible. This is compounded by the fact that on the at&t version you can't turn off LTE and force the device into HSPA+ (3G) mode, even when you have the device rooted and on a custom rom.
I have gone back to my original One X for the moment and will let the smart folks here continue to tweak the device. It took about 4 months after the original One X was released to get a fairly bullet proof set up that worked well and had decent battery life.

Had the phone for about a month now. With background sync on, and over 150 apps installed my phone runs on average use for about 15 hrs, now that means usually when I'm out during the day. To me, that's fine, considering it lasts much longer than my previous HTC Desire, which had horrible battery life. While heavily gaming and browsing, the phone may last from about 2:40 to less than 4 hrs. While watching hd movies it held out close to 4 hrs, while the standby time I found to be fantastic! All in all, I'm pleased, considering the high end hardware it packs
