I currently have an HTC HD2 running a Gingerbread rom but I am considering buying a new Android soon.
Which one has the best feature and best battery?
Galaxy S 2 gives about a day and a half for me with moderate use but battery life will depend on how much you use the phone have the screen on etc ...

It all depends on how you use the phone. I send about 200 texts a day, browse the web a bit, 3g is ALWAYS on. And on my nexus s i charge my phone about every day and a half.
I used to use juicedefender ultimate, but i was actually getting less battery time for some reason, I couldn't figure out that problem.
yea same for me, everytime i use some type of battery saver app it kills the battery even more [vibrant on bionix v 1.3.1]
the best battery life on any android phone is definitely the Motorola Xprt on sprint with an 1850MAH battery. I have a nexus s however and it gets very good battery with blacker themes because the screen doesn't use battery with blacks.

and one more thing android is set up to keep your battery running as long as possible . task manager and battery aps drain the battery more because they mess up androids battery system and make it do more work. the best thing to do is turn off wifi auto sync gps and lower your screen brightness through power controls. let android take care of the rest.

i use autobrightness that might make a difference. And the senseless SOS M ROM i know that makes a difference without all the sense stuff running
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.

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?

right now i'm at 37%. off the charger for 12 hours, with 2:20 screen on time. i'll get 3 hours screen on by the end of the day. this is using wifi all day, taking many pics, sending lots of texts and MMS in an area with crappy 4g service (so MMS take forever to go through, if they do) and plenty of emails..then used facebook, instagram, tapatalk, etc.
on 4g, i'd probably get 10 hours or so with 3 hours screen on time. yesterday i had 16.5 hours with 3 hours screen on time on wifi/4g mix.
I have very good 4g where I live and I always use wifi when I'm at home. I mainly read up on tech blogs, a lot of Web browsing a few quick videos and some picture taking. So im hoping I can get 12 hrs.

Battery life for me has been awesome. Coming from the Rezound, on a good day with medium to light use (for me) I'd be lucky to get 12 hours. I bet I could go two days on my DNA before I'd HAVE to plug in. As always, YMMV.
On days when I use my DNA heavily (3+ hours of streaming videos with some web browsing mixed in + another combined 1-2 hours of texting, checking FB, etc), I can make it from 6AM through to 12AM. Granted, I'm usually at around 9% by 12AM, but I can still make it through the day without needing to worry about battery. On days when I just use it for the 1-2 hours of texting, checking FB, etc., I can go for 2 days before I need to charge. I am mostly in 4G LTE areas, with around 1 hour combined time spent underground with no signal. My mobile network is always on, I never use WiFi, my auto-sync is always on, and my screen brightness is set to around 40%.
So in my honest opinion, the DNA's battery is quite decent. My brother has an SIII and he doesn't get anywhere close to these numbers.
I'm on my second day of using the phone (I had it on the charger for hours the previous day until around 4:30 P.M.) It is currently 9:56 A.M. the next day and I have about 46% on the battery (Quoted use time is 14h 29 min on battery). This is on moderate use, so not too shabby. I have never had a good battery in any of my phones (I came from the regular Droid Razr, so 2020maH vs. 1780maH) so I am used to not having a good battery.
FYI, I rooted this and flashed a ROM on it about a week ago, and there isn't any definitive upgrade over battery performance yet. While it's nice to have no bloatware, I haven't found anything out that really is much of a benefit over Sense 4.1 in terms of performance/battery. Too many bugs to work out yet.
Battery Life
The battery life on the DNA has FAR EXCEEDED any expectations I would have had.
I have had the phone about 3 weeks now and I do not use it heavily, so I have gotten up to 3 days, 6 hours of battery out of this thing.
The least I have gotten has been about 23 hours and that was driving from NH to NYC and making calls, texting(not while driving of course :angel: ), GPS navigation running and checking things like FB and Twitter. Average seems to be about 29-30 hours for me.
So I am VERY pleased so far, HTC did a great job with battery management.
I'm coming from a T-Bolt, which is known by all to have horrific battery life.
The DNA has blown me away in terms of battery life.
I dont do video or music streaming. But I do heavy voice, txt and constant data (exchange push, gmail, and sending lots of emails per day). Also a fair amount of web browsing, FB, twitter, and all that stuff.
Im coming from an evo lte to the DNA. Its really amazed the hell outta me the difference. I mean the evo has dual core and a smaller screen and no were near as powerful. How they can make something use less juice but that much stronger is really cool. Id say 30% better. You want me to solve ALL your battery needs and questions? Best damn thing I ever bought. You wanna talk about powerful! I rate it a 6.5 outta 5 stars lol.

With my GS3, I would range anywhere between 18-30 hours with 4+ hours of screen time. That was on ICS or JB. I was rooted with custom ROM's, but I didn't do anything special other than that. A lot of it was with the stock kernels.
I'm only on my 3rd full day with the DNA and I'm keeping a very close eye on battery life. I want to make sure I'm at least getting close to my GS3 otherwise it might not be a worthy move for me after all. So far it has been doing decent but I haven't been able to have a normal usage day yet. Today would be my first normal usage day.
If the battery holds up, I like the DNA more than the GS3, so I would keep it. If the battery doesn't hold up, I'm going to consider the Note 2.
I'm on my first full work day. Pretty confident that ill make to the end of the day.
Only issue is that I had to change my habits a little. Stock vs stock with gs3 is clear winner as far as anything media related to battery.
By no means is it horrible.

Hey guys, so I am finally upgrading my galaxyy nexus. Right now I am stuck between the Bette looking, more powerful DNA, or the huge, beastly battery wielding note 2. Right now I am probably leaning towards the DNA, but the one determining factor is battery life. Is it as bad as they say? Coming from a gnex, it probably can't be any worse, but I am in need of at least solid battery life. Thanks !
If I turn the standalone GPS off, I get 12-16 hours of moderate to heavy use. Your mileage may vary. This may change as the 2.04/2.06 s-off comes out and we can root and rom our phones/.
It's far better than the Nexus, but obviously the Note 2 has the best of the three.

Who says its bad? There are several other threads that talk about how great the battery life is for most DNA people. I EASILY get 12 hours on a fairly busy day. .....my $.02.
I consider the battery life on my DNA great. I don't know hours wise but I have never had to charge it in the middle of the day and I have gone 2 days on occasion (with light usage)

i wouldn't even consider a note 2 now that the S4 is out....
but honestly, i'd chose the DNA over both of them.
When I had my DNA stock the KWL would murder the battery to levels worse than my GNex by far. Probably a dead connection but anyways. I'm now S-OFF running Viper and my battery life if phenomenal.
Edit: What kinda typing did I do
Battery life on the gnex was bad. Eventually I found Shiny ROM and Fancy kernel and could easily go 18 hours with 3+ hours screen on time.
Sense driving me nuts I haven't looked to fund the same info I used to check regularly but with that said I don't have to. The DNA gets marginally better battery life. I charge at night and go all day with the same usage of not more.
There's series of peopled getting horrible battery life then stories of people going days without charging. It's all about usage. 2 hours of playing Modern Combat 4 is much different than 2 hours of browsing although it'd the same screen on.
As a side note, no pun intended, I used a Note 2 for a week with cyanogenmod and got worst battery life than my gnex.

Screen off, battery life is pretty good. If you're always on wifi and do nothing but periodically clear out your email backlog and make the occasional brief phone call, it could go as much as three days before tapping out.
Screen on, the battery life is kinda mediocre. Figure about five or six hours of screen-on time will drain the battery. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could zero it out in four or less.
Google Now and Latitude location services can increase idle power consumption by 50% or more. I spend most of my time on wifi, so I'm not sure to exactly what extent the various levels of cellular connectivity hit it. (And not going to test until I figure out why Google Music has decided that it should pull hundreds of megabytes per hour over my connection. All Access has issues...)
The headphone jack seems to draw more power than on previous phone's I've had. I haven't really quantified it yet, but I get substantially better battery life streaming music to a bluetooth 4 (w/ apt-X) receiver than I have with headphones plugged in. Worth keeping in mind.

I keep hearing that the Google services newest update has caused increased idle usage as far as data goes. Although, I've yet to see it. Would the people who are having issues state if they actually use them? I take sync off anything I don't use. Like Google music, books, movies, etc. So maybe that's why I don't see that problem. Anyone?

Maps and location services were killing my battery. I did not open the Maps app yesterday yet it was one of my biggest battery draws.

I swapped out my Note 2 for the Droid DNA (I know some of you will think im mad)
To be honest the battery lifes arent much different once you start using the phone.
The note 2 does have maybe 6 hours better battery life (For me anyway) but i found the GPS drained the battery alot more on the Note 2 than the Droid.
To be honest i still struggle to drain the DNAs battery within 24 hours. The note 2 with Heavy use probaly lasted 36 hours..
Again these are just my thoughts

There are quite a few good ones out there. I like juice defender and greenify. I don't really use them now though. The htc one battery does a good job without slowing down the phone.
I never use battery apps ever, but coming to a phone that gets about an hour and a half less screen time, I tried this out for about a week and a half. It did nothing..... I mean literally nothing. Averaged the exact same everything. The only thing that changed was I had an icon in the notification bar. Its not even worth the wait while it's learning..... Apparently to do nothing.
I think this apps actual purpose is to advertise for their processors.

No, I would just wait. Your can remove the icon from the bar. You should look before you an post (not trying to start a war) give it some time. I have gained a few hours, or maybe my phone is just working better.

BatteryGuru does work a little bit. I used it on my atrix. However what this guy just said.
Turn on power saver and only check underclock CPU and lower screen brightness (HTC one screen is too bright) and you're golden. Haven't noticed a difference in performance from the lower cpu speeds at all. Quad core ftw I guess.

Its funny how people always use screen time as a way to judge battey life. Theres more to it than that. Gaming, streaming and watching movies will definitely drain the battery quicker. Im not a power user and was very skeptical about the battery on the HTC One when I purchased it. So far, my battery lasted me throughout the day most days. Its true however that HTC is known to have smaller batteries.

Yeah. This is a small battery, I tried guru on the one and it didn't seem to make any change at all, if you out everything into super power save mode it works but then nothing ever updates. Kinda ruined my experience.
Underclocking cpu and lowering screen brightness through power saver is by far the easiest and best way for saving b life without ruining user experience (IMHO)
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I didn't think id like it but I turned power saver on with justlower screen brightness and lower cpu power and I have to say this thing still flies.... No lag at all and even the lowered screen brightness is still to bright imo so I leave it on all the time helps a lot. It takes the battery and phone about a week to break in and learn percentages anyway so don't be discouraged about batt life on the first couple days. Plus we use new devices more which makes a difference. I had a couple other things not perfect at first on my phone like agps not working but after a few charges and reboots it's working great better than my one s with any rom I've ever used.

I did look.... I don't give a crap if you can turn it off. This app has been around for a while.... I tried one my OneX just for a haha when it came onto the market..... It did nothing on that phone either. If you are gaining power from this app.... Its because the app is doing what I have been doing manually since using Android phones. These battery apps are built for lazy people who refuse to remember to turn crap off they ain't using.

Its funny how people always use screen time as a way to judge battey life. Theres more to it than that. Gaming, streaming and watching movies will definitely drain the battery quicker. Im not a power user and was very skeptical about the battery on the HTC One when I purchased it. So far, my battery lasted me throughout the day most days. Its true however that HTC is known to have smaller batteries.

Screen on time is one of the best ways to judge battery life. If you can get an hour of talk time, texting like mad and get 4 1/2 hours of screen time....video, reading, etc...... That's a bad ass battery.
Phone that's been on for 35 hours with 1 hour of screen time is quite simply a phone that is not used much.

I don't think you understood what I meant. I meant to say comparing screen times on a device that played intensive gaming vs the screen time on a device that was used to browse the web and text. Both screens are on but the one playing game is likely to chew up battery faster due to the cpu running more aggressive. So basically all these screen times that people post aren't really helping unless they're accurately stating what was it used for. Wifi vs 4G LTE plays a factor also. All in all, it's likely everyone uses their phones for different things so battery life will be judge differently.

I actually used this app when I had the Nexus, and I HATE battery saver apps like Bullsh.. I mean Juice Defender. The fact that Qualcomm is putting it out for their own chips tells me it's worth a shot.

I understand where your coming from, and you're not wrong. My only point is that phones that can sustain, what I would consider excessive screen on, would naturally stand up better to whatever you throw at it.
Having said that, my OneX would get 5 and a half hours screen on with texting, reading, XDA app all day, YouTube, etc. Sure I could easily kill the battery playing crazy graphics games in 2 and a half hours..... Most phones that are only averaging 3-4 hours of screen time are not going to be able to get 2 1/2 hours of play time doing anything else. My OneX battery kills this One. I wouldn't necessarily say I am a power user.... But I have been known to put a beating on mine pretty regularly.
