Wich version has better battery life?
Battery life on GB is better than on Ics for sure

On average I had ~4 hr screen time on GB, with ICS I can easily get well over 4 hours and if intensive gaming involved then ~4 hrs on ics whereas I had ~3.5 on GB for games

It's about the same for me. Maybe idle battery usage has been decreased a bit, but still the largest energy user is the screen. The screen's power usage hasn't really changed, so if you have the screen on a lot you won't notice much difference imho.

Muuuuuuch better on ICS
To me the standby uses much less battery, but if you use your device a lot, you probably won't see it. I charge every night too, so i don't need it to last more than a day or so.

i have to agree with gm007, on my stock phone ICS is better than GB.
Ive installed the same apps as before with a full wipe too. I cant pin point how much better than GB but roughly a few hours more?
especially over night, on GB it takes up like 10% or more without touching it. Yes ive tested it with leaving the same things on like wifi etc.. as when i was on GB. On ICS, over night only took like 4-5%
Not a big difference for me ICS or GB --> but on GB could be little bit better
the battery life is better in standby in ICS. Other than that, there is little difference
Cant tell a difference between UK generic GB or ICS

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.
^^^this... Was getting 4+ hours screen time and 1 day 4hrs battery with GB. that was on the oc'd Rom @ 1.82 with undervolting everything below 1.5 and over volting 1.82.

Which Rom were u using
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
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.

Should i believe this guy? 6 hours of screen time? You must be kidding right?

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.
So I might be trading my Gnex for an Amaze + cash, but my main concern is battery life. That, and learning a different process of flashing roms/radios, since I've only ever tinkered with Samsung/LG devices.
So my fellow members, what screen on time (best way to measure battery life I think) do you guys get? I get around 5 hours on my Gnex. Mention what rom/radio as well if you can.
Sent from someone's Galaxy Nexus running AOKP + Franco
Moderate use on stock, change a few settings, no unnecessary background programs, I get a decent 12-16 hours with moderate use, though to be honest, I text a lot, check my facebook, be on xda and stuff quite a bit. I set my screen timeout to 15s. So you gotta tweak it and mess with it a bit. Some custom roms have reported better life.
On speed Rom I get a full day with 40% to spare with a lot of browsing and playing games through the day, I'm sure you could get that with other roms as well. The amaze has no custom radio or kernel for ics at the moment
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
To be honest I've never measured/calculated my Screen On Battery Life. But total battery time for me is a good 12-16+ hrs.
Also its recommended, but not necessary, to S-Off your device. It makes flashing Roms much easier to flash. But if you don't want to perform that then use 4EXT Recovery and it can flash kernels without the use of fastboot to flash a kernel.
If the Amaze you get isn't updated to ICS then you're better off upgrading first before rooting and etc... Have Fun!

I am just stock ICS and generally get 9-11 hours. Screen is usually on 2 plus hours and do a lot of Internet, XDA, FB and the like. Actually use my phone for phone calls too.
Gingerbread was so much better for me, but used to it now.
That is with Juice Defender on as well.
I will say if not using the phone much, stand by time is phenomenal! I have gotten 24 hours on ICS, but I barely used the phone.

Hi,
I was comparing battery life to my desire s. I know there are different specs and the galaxy s 3 needs a bigger battery for the screen etc but I charged the desire s to a 100% and took it of charge. It took around 10 minutes for that percentage to drop to 99% while using the phone and considering it has a smaller battery. On the galaxy s 3 when I take it off charge it goes straight from 100 to 99 and while using the phone for the same time 10 minutes the battery has decreased dramatically to about 94.
I am on RGUI rom with siyah kernel

No day is considered complete without at least one new topic about battery issues or low RAM.
Please let me stress that the forum search has no issues and works fairly well... one needs to use it tough.
Li-Ion packs don't like being fully charged or fully discharged, so the phone's integrated charger only goes to 99% and keeps it there on trickle charge which will significantly extend the phone's average battery life.
It doesn't matter tough if your phone goes from 100% to 99% instantly or stays at 100% for 10 minutes; the overall capacity (from fully charged to power-off) is the only relevant factor. And that one should be better
Thanks for the info but I see my desire s battery better though

U say ur desire had better batterylife. Did u have 3g or wifi on on both? My galaxy s2 lasted 4 days with 64 orosent left. Almost no screen on time and 3g and wifi off. It wasn't better than s3 when using it the same way.

i have had my phone for 1.5 years now and have installed at least 50 -100 roms and kernels. sometimes multiple re installation. i am on JB right now and battery is not that great. i know known issue. i am thinking all the times i had to recalibrate the battery and not waiting till it fully discharged may have affected it. i have overheated the phone on more than a few occasion.
what would the average life span off a battery be? i am thinking its time to purchase a new one.

Compared to ur usage, ur battery did good, normally 2 to 3 years a battery can last, under moderate usage!

Battery life is waaaay too subjective.
IMHO if you can make it through the entire day without needing to top your battery off in the middle, then your battery is going its job.
If not and you're not heavy on it then grab another Motorola OEM online...

Battery will discharge increasingly faster as you will use.
Depends on when you say, ready to here.

Hi guys,
what kind of battery time are you getting if you dont use the power saving feature?
i always had it on with the only option enabled being the CPU reduction and my phone worked nicely holding on for 1.5days.Also it never got warm or anything.
After seeing the fluidity of the new iphone5 i thought... hang on, SG3 is supposedly much faster or just as fluid! So i took the power saving off, and CPU to its full potential, and hey, the phone works very fast... BUT, i got it down to 15% by the end of the day pretty easily and the phone got warm at the area of the processor and now it always does with the CPU working as it should.
Im really impressed with the fluidity of the SG3 having it from june of 2012, but id hoped that it wouldnt have to be that quick on the battery or that hot when in use that way.
Is all that normal?
I get around 15-16 hour inn an average.
