Hate to post anything about battery life, but I must. I would post this in the dev thread but not enough posts yet.
First off battery life was not that bad on froyo and understand GB has issues but this seems a bit extreme. I am running Full version of Gingetitis and other state battery life is great but not for me. I did full drain and battery wipe and calibration last night but seems even worse now . Phone has been on for 37 minutes and battery is down to 80%. brightness is turned all the way down, screen off in 1 minute, I have run speedtweak and set to battery saver, no gps, no blue tooth. I love gingeritis and the sense 3.0 so any assistance would be great.
Nope battery life is terrible on chingys GB rom. I was running it not good.
I'm using dasBAMF REMIX V6 amazing battery !

which kernel you are using?
i use the mr2 radio and 3.0.1 kernel. The batterylife is worse than froyo i agree, but it shouldnt be too bad to not last for a day.
Also, i think 4G drains a lot. My area switched form 3G to 4G and its gone worse.
I am running the default kernel, haven't flashed anything else. Unfortunately I do not live in an area with 4G so I just get 3g, I do run WiFi when at home.
I have the same issue.
I just tweak the speedtweak into option 5)
I went out taday. tb lost 10% battery per hr. Is this normal?

Did you turn off 3g in the settings?
I have turned off 3g lately, when I can get wifi, to see if it will help but haven't noticed much difference.
This is interesting because I'm on gingeritis with the included kernel and my battery life has been very good.

If everyone post their usage and battery drain condition. That will be more help us to realize our TB. Cause we might have different phone before, and we might compare TB with our privious phone. So I think this is the different replies on this thread.
ex. my previous phone is droid 2 global, and it has terrible battery drain as well.
Now I got TB for a couple days, and I feel TB get more battery drain problems. (of course, it is the first 4G LTE phone )
kernel: imoseyon 3.01
baseband: 1.39.00.0430
rom: Gingeritis v1.0
and I set speedtweak.sh as battsaver 5) and battery tip on rom's op.
that's I do to my phone now.
And I lost 10% battery life per hour (use 4G to surf on net)
Is my battery drain case terrible?
(I think only comparsion can help us to know where is the problem )
flashed a kernel a zip file,and 2 fonts.
Rebooted 4 time I total.

well...I think most android phone will face this problem in recent period.
I have nexus 1, droid 2, and TB. Only nexus 1 has better battery life.
It seems that delay battery drain is a big task for later android pone.
Try dream kernel. Using Gingeritis with it has given me superb battery life.

I'm running 1.0 with kernel that comes with it with rapist and battery life was alright. Got extended battery this weekend. It takes away from the tbolts sleekness but man its worth it. Good 9 hours of web YouTube facebook phone and texting and its at 51% and still strong. Love it.

I agree! I was running BAMF froyo remix with outstanding battery life. Made the switch to gingeritis and the battery life was so-so, tried the dream kernel and for a few days the battery life was as good as froyo. Then random reboots forced me back to stock kernel with gingeritis with normal on speedtweak and it is slightly better than before.
There should be a new dream kernel out soon, I plan to try that one when it drops, dream kernel was great when it worked.

your stock kernel version is?
I am running gingeritis and a full charge last me about 7 hours, on a good day. Mind you, I am over clocked to 1.4 and have a bad habit of checking my phone even when I haven't felt it vibrate or heard it ring. Because of this, I started to notice that when I would pull my phone out of my pocket, the screen would be on. I'm assuming that my constant movement at work is causing my volume button to be pressed, resulting in my display eating up 50% of my battery.
I've been running BAMF Remix Beta 6 for almost a week now. I just got the extended battery a few days. It's lasted anywhere from 12-16 hours on a full charge with 4G always on. Earlier today I had it on 3G only and lost 25% in about 4 hr and 40 min. I am using batterysaver in speedtweak.sh with the kernel that came with the ROM.
I just got the amaze for the second time..... Never cared to notice before but I think for being htc and htc is well known for its quality hardware but terrible battery life.. I was in awe over the battery life for it on a first time full charge !!
Off charge at 7 am and heavy usage till 3pm and with 70% battery left after 8hr..
Reallyy!!!!
All my evos and mytouch devices in the past on OTHER CARRIERS were dead by 12 Noon!!
Maybe htc got it right with this phone.. I'm really content with stock Rom , which makes me wonder how much better can it get with this talk about Energy 03.10.12 Rom....being stellar Battery life!!

I just literally hit the yellow mark in my battery department, which means 30% left. I took off charger at 9 am and is now 800 pm and I have streamed quite a bit of music, about 20 texts and a few calls, little web such as this very forum.
Even forgot to turn off my BT. So going on almost 11 hours. I should get my usual 10-15 hours of use. All on stock.

The only phone that I've ever owned that poor battery life that could compete with the Amaze's battery life is the original Evo.
In other words, The Amaze's battery life is tied for the worst that I've ever seen from a phone. Any phone.
Custom ROMs should improve things, as will the Anker battery so I hear. I'm going to test these theories.
My goal is to get equivalent usage compared to other Android phones. That will be my standard, not trying to squeeze 24 hours of continuous video watching or something like that. Right now on stock, with my standard usage patterns, it's dead in 8 hours tops. (Again, my other phones would not have been dead)
I'm am with you all. I have my days with this thing including the update to ics. I am ranging from 5 hrs to 15hrs. Yes they are the exact same usage. Minimum 1 hr of net, 20 minutes of you tube and about 6hrs of podcast or music. During this time I have the settings at : screen set as low as possible via widget thing and auto sync. Guess it depends on how the battery feels.
Forgot to add these results are from work. 12 hr shifts. 6 hours I am able to use continuously. The rest of the time its on breaks and sits in my locker.

Like glacier said earlier, it just depends on usuage. If at a sit down job and nothing to do but play on your phone, it is easy to drain about any phone.
I used to drain my BB 9700 in 8 hours with constant use, with tons of apps on it. That was considered one of the best phones out for battery life. Thing is when idle a lot, I could get an easy 24 hours off it, sometimes even close to two days.
Just depends how you use it. I can kill my Amaze in 6 hours, but again I average between 10-15 hours stock.

from usage, i get the best battery life on stock, i had BP before i reverted to stock, and BP was the worst i had in battery life, my list goes like
1. Stock
2. Sense 3.5 RC 1.7
3. Bp
stock is great for me, when idle for 7-8 hours it only drops 2% at most not 20% like BP or not 5-10% liek sense 3.5, gonna stick to stock as i dont need 'root' access, i just use the phone for video, music, talk, text, and browsing

I'm am extremely disappointed with the battery life on my HTC amaze.
Today for example, it was fully charged at 6 am.
I sent a couple texts, talked for less than 5 minutes, and did nothing else.
I had to plug it in by noon because the battery bar turned orange????
I carry 2 spare batteries in my purse.
I jave anker and I'm on my 3rd cycle. So far the battery life is slightly worse than stock for me.
I'm running speedrom which is supposed to have better battery life, but so far I can't tell the difference and I'm a moderate user.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
I'm just curious to see how everyone's doing with battery life on the new software leak. Lately I've been getting HORRIBLE battery life. For the past 2 days, I've only gotten 4-5 hours with moderate to heavy usage. This was worse than what I was getting with ICS ROMS before the leak. The reason I update to the new firmware is because I heard people were getting exceptional battery life off just the stock battery.
I think the reason may be I haven't completely charged it because it was stuck at 99% for like an hour before I took it off the charger. I finally just let it charge all night and I will see how it goes today. I'm curious to see how everyone else is doing with battery life.
Also, if you could, state which ROM you're using and possibly what things you turn on/off to help/hinder battery life.
I'm running BAMF v1.1.1, my screen's on auto-brightness, I only sync my gmail account and weather, 90% of the time I use Wi-Fi, no GPS or BT on at all. I also have Juice defender on as well.
Edit: Well actually I just checked my phone and after about an hour and 50 minutes, my phone was down to 91%. about an hour and a half of that was streaming pandora on wi-fi. Maybe I just never had it charged completely. Screen on time was only about 20 minutes, though. I think that's pretty solid battery life. I guess I'll see how today rolls out.
Oh and also if you could state which battery you're using. I have the 3.7 V.
Edit: Since making this thread, my battery life has gotten considerably better. It idles just fine, now. I think there might have been something wrong with the screen off profile which was causing my battery life to be so horrible.
I would suggest using Scott's CleanWipe 5x when switch ROM's. I don't know why and it may seems a little unnecessary, but I'm getting a lot better battery life after using that and upgrading to BAMF v1.2 from CleanROM 4.1. Also, I turned off automatic brightness to 30% which I think has made a pretty good difference. The screen is a huge battery killer. I played Temple Run for like 20 minutes and the battery went down from 98%-77%. But I can get a 9% battery drop from sleeping for 9 hours with the phone completely idol.
It looks like 1/3 of the people are getting worse battery while 2/3 are getting the same or better. If I could revote I would and say my battery life is better now. So anyone hesitating to flash the new RUU. I'd say go for it. The odds are still with you: 66.666667% vs. 33.333333% that you will still get equal or better battery life.
mine is about the same.
I'm honestly felt like the battery improved last night i was streaming videos on youtube for an hour then was reading 4 chapters on a manga while using poweramp the battery when down from 63 to 55 percent.im using 3000mah, usually it would of been lower.

Only installed the firmware last night. Will probably take a little bit to settle in but I've seen noticably better life today. I use my phone about the same every day so it's fairly easy to tell.

Screen brightness between 30 and 40%. All haptic turned off. Five hours into the day and 65% battery left. On Nils business sense 3.1. 3.7V battery.

To those having worse battery life, mind saying what ROM, and stuff you are comparing your results against?
I'll be watching this closely as I've been straddling the fence on upgrading to the leak. I usually don't take this long to jump in the fray no matter what my phone has been. I have heard more good than bad about the leak overall. But you never know if they are legit concerns or people overlooking things just to be running ICS. I'm curious to see what battery life people are getting.

I've been running BAMF, but I switched over to CLEANROM 4.1 and I'm gonna see how that works out for me.
I've been getting about 5 hours tops with the new firmware as opposed to 10 hours with the same amount of usage on GB.
I use the extended battery, and I can honestly say I'm getting 5+ hours. From 100% to complety shutdown I would get 30+ hours with pretty heavy usage. Right after I updated I charged up to 100% and used it probably the same as I had before, pretty heavy use, I got 35+ hours.
Something is definitely better here.

Can people please start stating what ROM they're using, battery voltage, power saving tips. What governor, kernel, underclocked?
I'm using the leak ICS 4.0 Rom. By battery has gone way down. A couple 2-3 minute phone, a few text an my battery will be drained in about 6 hours. The phone is getting hot and draining the battery. On gingerbread, I could go 8 hours with streaming, texting, playing games and more before my battery was drained.

BAMF 1.1....normal power saving tips, stock kernel/gov. I'm getting better battery life with it.
My battery has been very bad ever since 3.6. Really thought 4.1 would fix it, but it's actually a little worse. I get 6 hour with light to moderate use. One thing I noticed, when I check my battery and usage, it says screen: 79%, WiFI 9%. But when I click on the graph to get history details, It shows a solid blue line for WiFi, and a solid, but two tone gold for Mobile network signal.
With other screen shots I've seen, wifi is usually a scattered, broken line. As if the wifi is shutting down at times conserving battery. Is there something I'm missing? Or is it supposed to be solid blue? Also, normally in the screen shot, the mobile network line is green, mine is yellow/gold. I am guessing that's just the quality of the network signal, but wanted to verify.
Mine seems like its draining alot quicker.

This does not look good at all especially the last drop. You might have a rogue app. I would factory reset and start over only few apps at a time so I can identify the app. You may also wanna try other battery like anker.

This behaviour is definitely irregular... Those sharp drops and sudden spikes could be from the battery not being calibrated properly. On average, my Amaze with stock battery lasts me about 14-16 hours with 2.5-3 hours of screen time (lowest brightness most of the time).

Most android phones really need to be rooted so you can fully tweak the battery life. My amaze got roughly 16 hours with normal to heavy use with bullet proof 4.0. My phone I'm using now, the mytouch 4g gets around 24 hours with the same use. Before I would be lucky to get 8 hours with either phone. IV learned that you can either complain about things, do something about it, or just get an iPhone and go away . The beauty of android is the ability to go in and tweak.

averaging ~ 15-19 hrs of heavy usage a day on sense 3.5 rc1.7, sometimes Ill use juice defender to help with the longer work shifts but honestly its a huge difference from when I was stock.
its no different from when I was stock on my g2 to when I was rooted, sometimes you just have to tweak a few things to see a vast improvement.
Morning all,
I just woke up and unplugged my phone from the charger after leaving it to charge all night, right. As soon as I unplugged it, THE BATTERY DROPS 96% IN A MATTER OF SECONDS and I get the less than 5% of battery remain. I was like WTF?!?
I believe I found my problem....
Btw, I am on a rooted stock rom and I would consider myself a normal user. Calls, sms, and emails are the primary uses of my phone.
I am completely stock and get about 16hrs to a charge... I run miui music or stock music app for roughly 4 to 6 hrs a day and surf here and market and a bit of gaming.
I set screen brightness to 20% and keep my internet and blue tooth etc off most of the day....
I desperately want to debloat but I'm holding stock till ICS.
Rogue app sounds right along with the bloat like Google maps and Facebook eating up our batteries..
I also use a task manager to kill on command......
We have a hodgepodge setup of bloatware and settings in stock format... But I'm waiting and earning an ulcer till ICS as I know the upgrade will open the door to real development of truly good stuff

I was getting about 3 hours of battery life on Faux's kernel. When I switched to stock I was getting 18 hours
This is my battery from when I woke up until now, about 10 hours so far.
Light usage so far, just while I was at work. Screen was on for an hour.
I'm very happy with my battery life, if I leave the screen off I barely lose any battery not even 1% an hour.

Some of you guys slay me. You mean to tell me you got 18hrs out of your 3d browsing the internet, texting, calling, and listening to music? What's normal use for you? Looking at three website, 5 texts, and two 5 min calls? Not being coy or anything but no way you get that out of a stock battery with normal use on any rom.

I get 24 hours plus quite a bit. I'm on an old Fresh ROM. And I do use my phone all day. I get hundreds of texts, a few calls, plus I play Words a bunch and Draw Something a few times a day. Here is my chart from yesterday. I did charge about 15 minutes late in the day in my car as you can see in the chart. But this was after 30+ hours of up time. I get amazed myself at how long this thing can go.
To me, screen on time and actual usage really indicate what you get out of a charge. I get about 3 hours of screen on time browsing and reading books before I'm at low battery. Usually, 16 hours is about what I get out of a charge with 2-3 hours of gaming and internet. The only thing I miss from the iPhone is battery: easily 2x the usage over the EVO.

That's weird because all my iphone friends are constantly running for their chargers.
Anyways, here is what I get.

Not bad. What Rom are you running? As for the iPhone, I had a 4, and I think running a single core helped the battery out a bit. That and I had way better at&t coverage vs sprint.

I charged it yesterday and had a few phone calls then left it alone all night..so phone was asleep (screen off) most of the time. This is what I got. That meanrom base is beast

I'm using viperrom ic3d and getting well over a day, usually until evening the second day without charging. And that includes several hours of talk time and at least two hours of browsing since my computer is waiting for new parts.

If you condition your battery, you can get very good battery life
I have horrible battery life with certain roms. especially the cyanogenmod 7 rom. I try to only charge my phone when it dies/ or is about to die

I think sense 3.0 is kind of a battey killer too tho it was with me
I get around 12 hours, but that's with an extended battery.
Just to note a thing - listening music does not eat battery much after all if i switch to airplane mode. Also more apps I install - battery runs out faster. Even with sync off.
With wifi on, sync off I pull it out from charging for 15-16 hours with 20-30% battery life at the end. I use it to text people, check facebook, few phonecalls and listen to music for about hour.
Oh its stock battery.
There should be multiple threads running about this in general. all the flasholics who focus on battery life should post there experiences, with information on the battery brand, ROM, kernel, and usage .
Clearly we all seem to have very different experiences, but finding common aspects of those with the best battery life would be greatly valuable tot he rest of us.
im using a:
1900mah cheapo battery from ebay.
SOS M ICS 3.6 with Sock Kernel
14 Hrs heavy use.
1 day+ in standby
longer battery change rom
kernals have alot to do with battery life,
best battery life i have seen is running meanrom with 5.4 dadova or 5.2 depending on what you feel is a little more stable. I run chads quadrant 1a because I love the speed and batterry is still better then stock
Going from stock Gingerbread ROM to senseless ICS moded ROM nearly doubled my battery life.It went from 24h to almost 48h with absolutely same usage of the phone
Wich senseless ROM did you Flash?
