I know the Thunderbolt's battery is known for being very short, but I charged it to 100% right before I went to bed, and when I woke up the next morning it was down to 63%. WiFi and 4G/3G was not on, only the cell radio. This doesn't seem normal at all, but is it?
I get atleast 12 hours with my set up. For you to get an honest reply, you need to tell us what rom, kernel, are you overclocked and such. Hard to comment without those dude.

I'm running Redemption ROM. I have no idea what kernel. I'm guessing the stock one since I never changed it. I'm not overclocked.
Maybe I could change to a ROM and kernel that gets better battery life?
The best ROM/Kernel combo I've found so far is the BAMF Cubed 1.10 with imoseyon lean kernel....After installing try doing a battery calibration...very detailed procedure with no app download at teambamf.net. But anyway, still using the stock battery from when I bought my Tbolt in March 2011....getting 26-30 hours of battery life.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Custom ROMs that are just as good as VillainROM if not better as I've been having problems with it since I first started playing with it a few months back, the most notorious of which has been the battery draining within a couple of hours of fully charging it up!

What's it like, battery-wise? The reason why I ask is that hopefully if I try this and it'll fix my modem problem, the battery won't drain without me having to carry a spare in case of emergency...

+1 on this, it's an excellent ROM.
Great battery life and you can leave it stock looking or you can modify it with themes and even more customisable ROMs (surgeons).
HyperDroid just release an update or you can try Foxhound 2.6
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hyperdroid is the way to go
I tried Foxhound and it's not bad but I don't like the fact that it takes an age to load up the start screens plus the pages for the Apps aren't numbered at the bottom... (I know I'm nitpicking but it's just one of those things that annoys me) So I'll be trying out the others tonight along with the Battery Calibration App that was mentioned in the Foxhound 2.6 thread as well.
MIUI or cyanogenmod. Try both and see what you like more.

How often are you using your phone? Screen on time? Wifi only? What apps are synching and how often? Strong or weak cell/data signal? Do you have auto-brightness on? (if not, how high is your brightness set?) Etc etc etc
Point is, there are 100+ factors, that you didn't mention, that can adversely affect your battery life, and before anyone can give you advice, they'd need to know your setup/usages.
JuiceDefender helps me a ton.
3 hours on a full charge? That's nuts bro... Have you tried wiping and a full install without restoring any apps? I'm on mean 3.5 with minimal tweaks and I can go all day long with the anthrax kernel at 1.5. Are you talking 3 hours of straight usage?

Stay away from task killers...they are not really needed and eat up battery as they work anyway. Long as you have your sync settings and such set up right you'll be fine.
If you got everything set to push or sync in small time frames it'll kill battery life.
I'm going to venture you have something rogue killing your battery...
I'd install systempanel and turn on monitoring service and check back after time has passed and see exactly what's eating the battery...much more detail there...

I'm using v3.5 of MeanROM and I have the Antutu CPU master. Even though the Rom manages your CPU you fan tweak stuff with this app. I currently have my CPU running to the max levels.

I have one suggestion. Use flight mode while you are sleeping, then it almost just use 1% in the time you sleep.
I charge it to 100% before I go to sleep and if its already late I put it on flight mode and the next day when I wake up I will put flight mode off.
Rest off the day its just on normal settings, auto brightness etc. I have been doing about two days now in the weekend with idle usage.

S on is required for radio update, you should be able to flash custom kernel thru fastboot. Or the flashimage gui on market.
If you don't superwipe when you try a new Rom, you might have issues.

2.3.4 is software version. It'll say sense version above.
Any sense 3.0, 2.3.4 Rom will have everything working.
2.3.5, sense 3.5 only cannot play true evo 3d games.
4.0, 3.6 sense 4.0 is still a work in progress.

I have CleanROM DE 1.4 and it's the best battery life I've had, which leads me to believe you should be looking more for a different kernel. I've tried upwards to 10 different ROMs. I'm using the 3.13xx kernel he posted in Post #2 of that ROM thread.
Also, just a note, upgrading the firmware helped tremendously. Not just using the patch, but taking the dive and flashing the RUU. My phone got better with both battery life and heat.

Anyone test out any of the new ROMs on the new base...any help to battery life?
I'm trying to figure it out which ICS rom to flash based on battery life and I've narrowed it down to Mean Rom ICS and Viper Redline ICS, and I was wondering if anyone would mind posting pics of the battery times.
MEAN ICS v2.0
I'm currently running MR ICS 2.0 and I'm getting pretty decent batter life. I'll have a screen shot in the morning as I haven't actually measured so I'll do an overnight test and have the screenshot up in the AM. I haven't tried the ViperROm though.
I use MR also. Pretty decient useage and i get a solid 15 hours out of it. I tried Vipers ICS in the beginning and was getting about the same. Im not sure what he has changed since the first release. I would post a pic but i just switched back to a gingerbread Rom. ICS to me has some bugs and GB i was getting better battery life and faster performance.
Hope this helps

Also, I use gps a lot my phone (Hardware Ver 2) runs a lot cooler with Mean then Viper when using the gps for hours upon hours. I've even used it for a 14 hour singe day drive once the screen was never off (I did use a car charger of course lol)

Or it could be what he has on his Screen. For Example he could have an alternative Launcher with one homescreen and a clock widget. And also i heard that if you use a regular black wallpaper it could save you quite amount of power. So maybe could throw in a Black Wallpaper in there.

Hey all!
So I just picked up my Droid DNA a few days ago after trading up via manager approval from a Droid Razr M. Loved the Razr M but the screen was literally killing my eyes; couldn't read it from a rule length away... Anyway, I just wanted to get some input on peoples experiences battery life wise between stock sense 4+ and a stock ROM. I've always been a stock kind of person, but I've noticed with all the great upgrades that came along with my upgrade from the Razr M to the DNA that I've lost quite a bit of on screen time. Any input would be awesome. Thanks!!!

Just slap a kernel with wakelock fixes on this bad boy and you'll get great bettery life. And maybe viperDNA(its an amazing Rom)
With light usage you can get 2 days on the battery, and with heavy usage you can get this.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Consider a kernel...it'll fix some really serious problems...there are also roms that look like stock... battery life on stock isn't as good right now cause of wakelock. you can look up reviews and they'll tell you you will get through a day on light usage on stock. If you plan on using it more then you should consider flashing.

This is on LTE the whole time.
When I was on stock ROM and kernel I easily got a whole day with light to medium usage.
I'm definitely able to get through the day with light use, that's not a problem. I'm more so interested in fixing the stock kernel wakelock problem that is depleting my battery when the phone is just chilling with the screen off. Out of curiosity when installing a kernel, do you have to manually set anything (I ask since the newest version of the LK kernel has the ability to over/under clock the phone, stuff I'm not really interested in messing with), or do you just have to flash and forget about it, so to speak? Thanks!

As most everyone here has already said, but I'll throw in my own experience...
Stock ROM and Stock KERNEL both have pretty good battery life. In my personal situation, I was getting from 7am to about 6pm every weekday before battery dead. My usage is heavy email, txt and voice. Moderate internet browsing. Very little music or video streaming.
With a simple flash of LK's Kernel, I'm now getting through an entire 24hr cycle on a single charge.
Thats a pretty significant improvement in battery life
Alright, I'm hooked. Going to go through the process and flash later on tonight or perhaps tomorrow when I have more time. Any suggestions on which version of LK kernel I should flash if I'm mostly interested in just stability and battery life, 0.9.3 or 0.9.4? Thanks!
-Matt
.9.4, which is the most current version.
Well it took awhile to figure it all out, but I finally got my phone unlocked/rooted and updated to 0.9.4 LK kernel. Looking forward to seeing how the battery life changes . Thanks for the input everyone ^_^!

Running the same. Cant wait to see what kind of results I get. So far Im loving the rom. Using Nova prime again instead of sense but its even faster than before.

How do you like Nova? I'm switching to LK just to try it out.

Nova prime is a stupid fast launcher. Though you dont need the LK kernal to use it, at least that is what I gathered from your post. I literally have no lag because i made the animations very light.

Pardon my terrible grammar. I meant I'm trying out the LK kernel. Nova looks really nice but I have an OCD like problem knowing I have 2 launchers installed haha.
Something is up with the latest LK. I am along with a few others are having issues with wakelock. Idk if its an issue with the kernel itself or what but its causing terrible battery life.
