So after 2-3 weeks of playing with stock ics rom which i update over the air, i decided to root and install custom roms. I flashed Speed Rom 4.0. However, I feel like that the stock ics rom battery is just better than the custom rom. My use of amaze for a day is 2-3 hours of listening to music, 2-3 hours of web browsing, 2 hours of gaming ( tower defense ) and that's when I come back home and my stock rom battery is left with about 30%. However, when I flashed custom rom, I notice that my battery drain faster than before and after a regular day of using I only end up with about 10% left. Anyone has insight on such problem like this?
Check settings and see what's different between the two

I mostly care that my battery can last through a day. My NRG ROM will give me a day easily, with about 1 - 2 hours of screen on time over the period. A lot of it depends on the strength of the 4G cell towers around you (in my experience); the phone uses more juice when seeking towers. The latest NRG is pretty good at not "hunting" for 4G.
Yeah... Looks pretty common I guess for a phone that's screen was hardly on

If you look at the screenshot you can see the phone itself was barely used, merely for an hour at one point, if that much and not at all for the rest.

That is what I said, about 2 hours of use over the day. That is my normal use.
EDIT: On GB that would not have lasted 8 hours. Did you guys read my text?

Keeping the screen on will dran the battery since that's what screens do.
Regardless of the device (including laptops), screens always take >50% of the battery.
Could you show the screen-on time?

Let me venture a guess. When you get a new phone, you tend to play with it a lot, hence the screen on time and battery drain Give it a few days, it will be fine -- this phone has great battery life.

The battery needs to go through a few full cycles of drain and charge before it's reached optimal performance. First week battery drained more but now it's performing brilliantly.
Just keep letting it drain completely and charging fully a few times and have auto brightness selected.

I've heard that li-ion batteries don't suffer from memory issues and there's therefore no reason to calibrate them or run them in any specific charge/discharge cycle.
If you ask 100 different people about how best to use your battery you'll get 100 different answers. Don't worry about it, just enjoy the phone.
Hmm. This phone probably has the best battery life of any android phone I've owned, and I've had a few.

You haven't said how long the screen was on for.
I could show this first screenshot and say OMFG the battery doesn't last, but actually when you look at the second screenshot, then there's obviously no issues (and I am indeed perfectly happy with my battery life)

Tripe.
Minimum of 3 cycles to reach peak performance. I have flashed hundreds of roms/kernals, it ALWAYS takes a few days for the battery to normalise.
Op, take a chill pill, calm down, post again in a few days. If you're still having drain, it will be down to an app or your settings.

12 hrs is not a good battery life I usually get around 18-22 hrs with moderate use, wifi on for 6-7 hrs. I have removed all the bloatware, which itself eliminates useless battery draining processes.
End of the day it all depends on your settings and use. But Leaked JB is well known for bad battery life. Hope that gets fixed in official release.

My battery life was crap on leaked JB. Cant remember exactly on how long it lasted but it didnt feel long compared to other roms.
At first batterytime was not so good, but after 2-3 charging cycles, and disabling all bloatware it's quite good, easily lasting 2 days with lite to moderate use. Seeing the same on NeatRom Lite 4.0
Debloated, philz kernel and stock battery...
Crap imo. But also seem to have a few wakelocks. eBay I think...

It looks like batterydrain is good when not using the phone much, but not so with more use. I have been using it a bit more than usual today, and after about 7 hours from unplugged, and a little more than 3 hour total screen time (minimum brightness), and 1,5 hour web-browsing, 1 hour playing music, the battery was below 15% (screen using 45% of battery) and I'm really not too happy anymore...
Just wondering, what sort of screen time is everyone getting?
Please include:
1. What Battery you are using
2.What Rom
3.Kernel
4.Screen Time
5. What is your approach to saving battery?
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure there isn't a thread like this yet, but let me know if there is mods!
Stock battery. Beans build 13 with perseus 36.2 as the kernel. At this very moment I am at 51% after 16 hours with 3 hrs and 13 minutes of screen time. So far today I've texted a decent amount, surfed the Web and xda, and played some nimble question. These battery stats have been typical for a while now and it's great, my battery lasts me a whole day with lots left over no matter what I do all day so I don't even bother trying to conserve battery

How come your screen percent of total battery time is 25%? I usually have mine above the 50% mark
Do you have it on the lowest brightness setting or what?

I find the range of battery life we can get on this device really interesting. Here's mine:
1. Stock sometimes anger
2. Mean Bean ice
3. PBJ kernel
4. I typically get almost 4 hours of screen time.
5. I usually keep data off, and use auto of half brightness.
My normal uses are texting a few hours a day, and browsing xda and reddit. Occasionally I play games, but not that often. I get about 26 hours average use.

My guess is because he's gone over a day without plugging the phone in. It all needs to add up to 100% so in that amount of time 25% is probably about right.

What is your screen on time?
Bear in mind 1% an hour would mean the phone lasts 100 hours (Over 4 days!!!) most of us who use their phone have to charge every night.
Only 30 mins
Not great but not terrible. You can often expect 1% every 2-3 minutes with screen on
And you have an hour of not "good" signal
