Hi guys i would like to ask what is your best/average display time on a full single charge? Please vote on the poll above. It would also be good if you can state your display brightness / using auto brightness and post a screen shot of your display time, graph and percentage.
For those who have no idea how to get there simply follow these steps: Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display
To take a screen shot simply press the home button and power/lock button (the home button should be pressed slightly earlier than the power/lock button).
Here's my best:
Set 1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Set 2
However my average is around 3 to 4.5 hours and my brightness is just slightly above the min brightness (i dont use auto brightness). I'm on stock ROM and stock battery by the way for those wondering.
Display time is about 7h max, tweak your standby drain if you want more. My best was 8h 20min with extended battery and about 10 h standby.;-)
Really irrelevant where CPU usage, data, wifi, flight mode, screen brightness, GPS, background apps, services etc etc etc are not taken into consideration.....
Edit: In short, the post is way too general.

Getting around 5 to 5 1/2 hours usually over the course of one day.
I've managed 10+ hours with C3D night mode (black background, red text), lowest brigthness, energy saver (800 MHZ max) and flight mode on. But that must be close to the upper limit methinks.

//EDIT: I do have background syncs enabled, but they're configured to fire every 2-4 hours: mail, weather, Twitter, news.
My Flyer is staying awake an absolutely crazy amount of time compared to how often it's awake due to me actually turning the screen on. You can see below what I mean in these two screenshots:

I have sleep mode enabled from 7 PM - 10 AM, WiFi sleep policy to "when screen turns off," and low power mode enabled at ~25%. I'm just incredibly disappointed with the battery drain on this device compared to what I had on my Nook Color, which could survive on battery for 9 days with light usage. My flyer dies in less than two days no matter what.
I have attached two multi-hour logcat logs. The first with Facebook installed, and the second after Facebook was removed. I would appreciate some help with dealing with this, because I am at my wit's end.

Hi there,
I don't know how the Honeyfly is suppose to work...but I read somewhere some time ago that it helps to have the WiFi set to NEVER SWITCH OFF, have had it set like that ever since I got the Flyer, same on my Desire S.... I switch WiFi off manually when I leave the house...Also, uncheck the Software Update under Phone Info...and try to set if you have your Exchange Account to sync like every 15 minutes or so...Push may suck the juice out of your Flyer. All other accounts to normal sync like once an hour... And check how many cities you have in the weather widget....do you need them all? And do you need the weather to update once an hour? I also do not use Automatic Brightness...I use Widgetsoid on my home screen and have it set to 10/30/100 steps...with 10 being absolutely sufficient indoors! See how it all goes...and try a re-calibration of your battery!
And don't forget, you're running a Beta version...

Often at night when I use phone lowest brightness is still bright so I found apps which can dim it further but then they loose screen contrast too making it difficult to read.
Is there any app which can make night mode of selected apps (browser/gtalk/gmail/other few user selectable apps) background dark & font light / white similar to youtube app?
UC browser had this night mode earlier but latest version they have removed this feature. Ideally such app should be time sensitive & as the night time approaches it should start applying the night mode.
This is what I am looking to achieve

or
like this in reverse it would save battery specially in night.

The closet App I can think of is CF.Lumen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336643
It automatically changes the screen intensity/Colours according to the time of day. Brilliant app, and had actually improved my Sleep cycle.
Note : It's a addon for Chainfire 3D pro:
http://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d.pro
But the Free version has Render effects also, which also may help:

Regards and good luck.
I looked at CF.Lumens but that does different colors in night mode not what I am looking for but thanks for finding it for me.
I wish some developers can work on this concept.
What about Lux Auto Brightness?

Same problem actually all apps adjust brightness "only" they don't adjust contrast which at low brightness is required to maintain good readability. I wish some one makes this app it should be simple to do so just by altering the color value as per user time table.
Me to .
My need is for an app or a MOD that wpuld provide me woth a button thatwould allow me tochangethecolors and cntrast and brightness of all the phone.
I will use it while using the phone in the bed.
Similar to what read view with night mode in dolphin browser.
I don't know those kind of apps but when I want to use my phone at night, I use an app called "Screen Filter".
I also use screen filter but it cannot function at low brightness of 20-30% the screen looses its contrast. The only solution to this problem is night mode which many gps app have it they reverse the diplay and increse visual contrast which helps alot in saving battery too. I hope some developer can work on this idea and make an app.
Bumping it up again after 6 months hoping some one knows any such app?
here we can post how our battaries lasts and which programs or setting lead to accelerate battery drain.
for me,
1.working hours:
*maximum working hours were 35 hrs
2.usage rate:
*moderate usage; 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth (up to more than 4 hrs continually by playing songs by PowerAmp when connected with my car's headunit)
3.optimum setting (my personal opinion):
* 1-make sure your accounts & sync: -background data & auto sync- unchecked.
2-motion setting: uncheck it.
3-location & security: uncheck my location setting.
4-latitude: logout from your google latitude account or choose not to let google collect your locations.
5-data network mode: don't forget to de-activate it every time you dont need it by hold press on power button and select either to activate it or deactivate.
I'm using this setting always and get satisfaction for SGS2 battery performance which was before lasts for only 12 hours
And don't forget that GB 2.3.5 has the favor for maximize battery performance.
seems like someone is trying to reach that important number of 10
Ricey
It depends how much i use it?!?!?!
Not another one! Please close.

Mine lasts one billion hours. I swear.
Battery life also largely depends on what rom and kernel you're using... so this is kind of pointless really.

Agreed,
+ modem = signal strength,
+ data mode, wifi or 3G/Edge, airplane mode,
+ Brightness levels,
+ Syncing,
+ personal usage patterns,
+ other factors......
It's irrelevant to compare battery life.
Three days before today it lasted for five days from 100% to 30% charge .
Today a 100% charge has lasted only four hours .
Tomorrow it should last much longer as it will be switched off .
So yes pointless OP and has not this same topic been posted before .
If you want to check kernels their is a poster in most of the kernel threads that has done some testing of kernels and battery on his phone not your phone .

by using siyah kernal v 2.6.9
today is the fourth day !!

Does the one max lack a power save mode? My buddy's one has it.
The max has the power saver mode of-course!

I am anxious to know that myself. I googled and found this link:
http://www.htc.com/sea/support/htc-one-max/howto/436321.html
That page link answers the question completely except for one one dilemma: on my HTC One Max there is no power saver mode option to be found, in the hidden section or otherwise. Could it be that these instructions were just copied from those for the HTC One, but that option was omitted from the Max? I'm puzzled too.
I found a page in the HTC One Max help entitled, GETTING THE BATTERY TO LAST LONGER to be useful:

Ok, that is strange, which version are you guys on? international? may be you could just install the apk and turn the powersaver mode..
Here is the apk
My Verizon phone has the sleep option that I use, but is there another option in the app that isn't shown in the screenshot above?

on my sprint phone, running viper rom, in settings, the first item is Power Saver, on or off..
not sure if its that way on stock..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44914437
I use greenify but happened across this...
It appears powersave kicks in automatically on the verizon Max. I hadnt really noticed because I keep my display not very bright usually. When I got my second verizon Max on which the display is kept much brighter I noticed the display dims pretty drastically at 15%. Pretty crappy that it does this because that also means it throttles the cpu and etc without me telling it to. Cant wait for kernel source...
In a completely dark room, this phones screen get way too dim for my liking as it will automatically drop all the way to 0% brightness.
I don't want to disable automatic brightness as it's a pain manually adjusting the level in pretty much every other environment.
I do want to be able to set the phone to never drop below ~10% even when I'm in a totally dark room though. I know I use to be able to do this with an older android phone but it may have been my Samsung Galaxy S4 from many years back.
Is there any way to set a minimum level for the brightness on the V30? The only area in the settings I can find doesn't have an option to do it.

You have to use an app to do that. There's an app called Lux available in Google Play which lets you control auto brightness better than LG software does. Lux Lite is the free version, and Lux is the paid version. A lot of people have recommended it.
You can set it to be brighter than LG allows, for instance.
Wow i want the same brigtness managment for my V30+ because in auto he won't go under 15% in a dark room and it's better for my eyes when i set it at 10% (No oreo here).
