Like the subject said. I've got an unrooted (my lazy ass haven't gotten around to it yet....) TFP running .14, went to go update yesterday morning only for it to fail after looking at the poor guy lay on his back with his panel open for half an hour. Not a big deal in and of itself, but my battery life has increased drastically since, with no change of use or settings. Same start up programs, same power settings, nothing uninstalled/reinstalled, nada.
Not that I'm complaining here, but any thoughts? I'm kinda scratching my head here...

I'd hardly call an average of an additional 2 hrs of life a placebo effect. With WiFi on for duration, moderate internet use for video conf, and heavy note taking I would avg ~7 hrs from 100%-dead. Since yesterday morning, ~9 hrs between charges.
placebo effect my ass.

The absolute most it did was 'bump' charge your prime, nothing more. You'd probably get the same result from fully charging, powering off, then let it charge for a while again.
I considered that, but that's exactly how I charged it for the first week I had it last month (since I'm old school and still condition my batteries). Literally nothing has changed in the last month as far as use goes. I dunno, maybe it's just a damned fluke.

Whats your guys battery life like? Considering its alpha and all, its pretty great battery life. Figured i'd share my usage and see how it compares w/ some of you fellow CM7'ers
Btw, this is NOT overclocked.

Not too bad, as you can see, still had 17% left, but i normally dont like my battery to even hit 25%.
5 plus hours screen on isn't bad.... But I can't wait to see what it can do after they work on the power more. It is showing promise.

exactly my point. shows great promise on just alpha. curious what others are getting as well.
About the same.. I was using my TP pretty heavily for 5 hours with live wallpapers (koi - from the videos) and still had 37% battery left. Very happy with this "Alpha" build, can't wait to see what they improve.
Yeah, I've experienced solid battery life considering. Quite impressed.

Pretty good results there. I haven't installed CM yet, but I reckon I get about 8 or 9 hours of screen on time with WebOS, so it looks like CM is in the right ballpark.
Maxy
No sleep deaths after raising minimum setting with CPU master
Wifi seems fine after setting to never sleep
The 1620 battery is ok, its not the best but its not the worst. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with like, a slim fit extended like - http://www.mugenpowerpdabattery.com/zaspx/product_details.aspx?file=default&productno=1351 - or maybe a 3rd party battery that has a mAh above 1700.
Im sure the original extended is beast, I have one, but it makes the phone a damn brick and I dont feel like carrying around something thats an inch thick lol
I've only seen the mugen so far. Some people say its way better than stock and some people say it's worse. I would see what their refund policy is and then decide if you want to take the plunge
I use the Mugen 1900 and it does make a 2-3 hour difference in battery life for me. In my case, that's the difference between needing a charger before the end of the work day and making it all the way through.
I just received my battery yesterday. This is my first full charge. This screenshot the battery was at 17%.
Display: 2 hrs 1 min
Voice Calls: 25 min
Wifi was only on for 5 hours of this and there was a good amount of texts, about 30 minutes of Pandora, and a few YouTube videos. So far I am pleased with the results. Ill post back if I see anything else to pass on.

Not too long. I use it regularly texting mainly but maybe some music streaming but not gaming it video streaming

i mean, press the "screen" on that screenshot you have given us and tell me the screen-on time...
my guess is something isn't being reported on there...
I have been experiencing the same problem with this phone since I got it, no matter what rom I'm on. While its off, it is fine. It will last for several days with the screen turned off. Once the screen is on it eats up 2-3% per minute. With an extended battery it will show the screen as taking up 99% of the battery and screen on time will be around a half hour.
i dont know what you guys are doing. im running 3.14.605.5 and clean rom 1.4 dev edition and im getting 24 hours on battery life and 4-5hours screen on time. how long have you been running it, it seems to take about 3 days for me for the kernel to settle and the battery stats to compile.
I hope I'm not the only one with this problem, the battery after the update is absolutely horrible. I have to charge it twice a day now. Even with the screen at around 50%...

what the title " T-mobile Battery Life" ?
With all the bloatware disabled my phone still lasts from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. Thats including streaming spotify for 6-8 hrs at work thru bluetooth headphones. Not really noticing a huge change from 10G. Might also be worth including I keep my screen at 60% and almost never use wifi. Also I get 3-5 bars service almost everywhere I go on a normal day. I'm sure not everyone uses their phone under the same conditions so just thought I'd include that.
I suggest all of you to give this Artas's TWEAK a try for few days and check again. I got really noticeable change after this tweak this week.
I've had pretty good battery life, i'm rooted and updated to jellybean.
I calibrated the battery
put the phone in battery save mode or airplane mode when i sleep,
and keep the brightness at 50s.
my phone just died and it had around a 1 day and 15 hours on it (with mod-heavy use, pandora, web,)

Unbelievable battery life with 21b
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2
I bought a used but mint LG V30 on Swappa several months back, which replaced a Note 3 that I bought brand new basically the day it came out (so yes, I was using a 5 year old Note ). Battery life was excellent (obviously, compared to the Note, which had gone through three batteries in its life). Lately, however, I have hit a snag. When I'm outside in the daytime using the phone, the battery drops very quickly. Inside, in the evenings, on an airplane, it's seemingly fine. It also does amazingly well on stand-by. It seems like it'll stay charged for two days if I don't touch it.
This daytime thing though... Here is an example from today, just a few hours ago.
This was after not charging it at all last night, and then leaving it on a wireless charger at the office for a bit (the two spikes). You can see that any use causes an immediate drop. This is autobrightness on, and it's at 100% outside
At 83%

2 min later, 82%
2 min later, 81%
Then I took it off auto-brightness and stuck it on 48%. I was able to get 6 min out before a 1% drop.
Unfortunately, outside, anything short of 75% or so is essentially unreadable.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Here's everything been running (and yes, I lost another 5% with 10 min of use.
