gb, but custom kernels with undervolting with increase battery even more. ICS will be even better once source drops and we have custom kernels for that as well. This is because ics can clock lower and still be smooth due to the gpu rendering that is finally integrated, and should've been done that way since day one. But until then definitely gb.

The leaked ICS ROMs had very poor battery life for me.

---

My best battery life on GB was 13 hours with 6 hours of screen time.
On ICS, my best was 5 hours of screen time on Noteworthy Beta 2. Only did 1 charge cycle, though.

It depends honestly. Somedays with ics i have high standby drain and apps galore sucking my battery down, other days I get almost 4 hours screen time.
Dags alpha2 seems a bit better than alpha1. I dunno about seraphim, I promptly returned to to alpha1 once I seen baby blue text on white in my apps.
I'd rather keep charging than deal with GB.

What are you under volting 1.5 and below to? And when you say what you are over volting 1.82 is it the only one over 1.5 that you are over volting or are you over volting everything from 1.5 to 1.82?
Also can you list what you're over volting and under volting to? I'd like to try to see if I can get the same results.

Currently on ics alpha 2 so no kernel to do this.
When on GB i was using DaG's OC kernel (or dagr8's sorry getting them confused right now, tired will check and edit l8r). J only overvolted the 1.82 setting. As for undervolting i pretty much looked ar what cpuspy said were the most used and using systemtuner set those down one notch on the slider. The ones used less frequently i set 1-2 notches down on slider. only methodology i used and was done over a period of time pushing to see if any problems/fc's occurred. Never really got to the point where that occurred as the ics leak came out and i jumped to it. Did not make a screen capture of system tuner settings or keep a list of final changes.
Oh yeah, i also get the min frequency to 192 and that seemed to quite a bit especially when apps were forcing 'stay awake' mode. That, i feel, is the biggest difference between my GB battery life and ics. I can get 1 day out of ics with 3-4 hours screen time but sometimes an app will force stay awake and the drain is quicker.
Biggest battery saver for me is using wife vs lte. <<wifi i mean word completion error but don't mind using wife sometimes too

Hello.... from Windsor Ontario Can on the Rogers Wireless network using GB SauRom Rom. .... on the stock 2500mAh battery I get 4hrs if I'm lucky with the screen @ 25% and the chips @ 1.5gHz.....
How in the world are you guys getting more than that?? I stream HD Video most of the time.... don't make any calls and surf.... most of the day I'm on WiFi.... I have no idea how you get these times of over 4hrs... I'm lucky if I reach 4hrs.....
All good now though. ... now I have 2 batteries @ 5000mAh & 1 battery @ 5200mAh so now I'm @ 1.7 or 1.8gHz and I'll get 7hrs ......then I'll Swap to the stock battery for when involution of work.....

If I use the 5000mAh batteries at home they last pretty much all day but most of the time I only use them at work.... feels too bulky in public. ..... I could get the 3060mAh batteries that are the same size as stock in eBay..... but at like $10-12 for the 5000mAh batteries it's all good. .... I have almost unlimited power... so I'm OC at 1.8 most of the time. ...lol
They should start building these phones with Huge Screens with Solar Cells to charge on the fly.... I know there's one out there already but never really took off.... these phones need those Solar Cells........

Ffs can we not have a battery life thread started every single day?
Battery life is the most subjective thing, it all depends on how you use your phone, what apps you have installed running in the background, what you have synced, location services. Etc...
No 2 people well have the same drain.

I'm on stock ROM and subscribe to Rogers Toronto. I get about 4 hours too.... My usage sounds similar to yours as well. Thanks I will pick up extra battery soon.
