Everyone's battery performance - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm curious to know what kind of times everyone is getting on MeanRom 3.1? I'm running MeanRom 2.7 and have gotten about 33 hours on one charge and a little reluctant to update.

It isn't going to change significantly if you're on the same ROM. I don't recall Mikey adding anything that would drop battery life. That's not usually how he works.
I'm getting 20 hours on CM10, and man is that awesome. I'll lose 13 hours for true multitasking.

Last real issue is video. Pretty much everything else works nearly perfectly! I'd give it a shot - I doubt you'll ever go back.

I would be interested in seeing Screen on time.
A graph of how long your phone has been sitting there isnt really helpful.
Screen on time provides a better sense of battery life because the screen is the biggest single battery drainer

Screen on time was a little over 4 hours or so. Phone finally gave out at 1 day 10 hours. I'm going to do another full charge/drain and see what I get under more realistic conditions at work vs hanging out at home/beach on a weekend.

Interesting battery drop off over the past few days (pics)

Hey all,
Something is cutting my battery in half by midday where that never used to happen until evening with this extended battery on my Rezound.
I haven't even made any calls or used the camera. I would say I was actually using the phone for est than 1/2 hour collectively. No new apps have been installed. I attached some screen caps.
Interesting....
Thanks,
Matt!

Edit: whoops, just noticed you said you are running the extended. That resembles my std batt. Wonder what's up?
Click display, how long has your screen been on for? I just got 29 1/2 hours on my last charge. I have the extended battery also.
Display was on for 1.5 hours on Auto.

Wait a minute.... That's I'm possible. That means my screen was on for roughly 1/5 of the time that my phone has been off of the charger. No way. Super lights use today (maybe 30 minutes tops) and i shut the screen off every time I holster. I haven't seen the Screens on by itself at all either...? Hhmm... Nothing is running that would activate the screen either....

Oddly enough, my Wife told me that her phone did the exact same thing today.... I wonder if it could be something with the network in the area!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
OK....
Today I used my phone a lot more and it has been off of the charger for much longer and the battery is down only a FRACTION compared to yesterday. I am in the same areas I was in as far as coverage and everything. Below is a pic to compare to my OP.
Could it be network related?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt!

There have been LTE issues around the country the last two days.

I had this issue yesterday!! I was at home all day using my wifi and my battery drained big time. I was at 63% by 2pm so I had to charge it since last night was my hubby and my anniversary and we were going out!! I had not even done anything on my phone. I had been busy knitting (haha yes I knit) LOL
I've had the same issue, I put my phone in airplane mode to see if it'd help. I believe it lasted much longer, unless its just the placebo affect, while occasionally taking it off to check for any messages. It's less than practical, but it works.
That new curve looks a lot more like my typical curve. I average 28-35 hours on my extended battery. I leave it unplugged at night now just because, lol.

I think it looks like bad phone signal. I've had that happen when I'm at my house where I barely get 2 bars sometimes

Could be the fact that your screen is turning on in your pocket. Because it's in your pocket and you have auto brightness, it would make your screen be at 100%. Try the app screebl and see if that helps

What kind of battery life are you getting

Here is my result with a fair amour of use after maybe 5 cycles on my batt.

That looks promising. My battery life on my OG Evo is severely lacking.
Finally starting to get great battery life.

I spent a lot of my time outside this weekend so I would say my phone usage was "lite" but I got over 36 hours and still had 30% left. Today I've been on it all day and im at 55% and I've been off the charger for 10 hours. The battery is a LOT better than my OG Evo but I'm SERIOUSLY impressed with this phones ability to "sleep"
I'm reading 59% after 7 hours and my first day of usage. My EVO 4G would have kicked the bucket hours ago. Though I haven't ran any hogging apps today, I have had my phone on a lot.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but in the sprint zone app, under my device and power, it lists what is using power the most and has a quick button for putting your phone into a low power mode for saving battery. Neat.

I really want to test to see how my phone handles everything at once. This is not how i usually use the phone at all. I normally do everything manually when i need it or just not link it to my phone period. I am liking these kinda of results.
Screen autobrightness
4hrs screen on time
2 emails push
Facebook push
Weather update every hour
switched between wifi and 3g but stayed on 3g most of the time
Took lots of pictures out with the family and uploaded some to facebook
This is crazy!

The phone sleeps well. Just woke up to this! Granted was at work yesterday so moderate use over all but nice to see.
Oh, almost forgot. This is with LTE running.

I'll have to grab some screenshots later, but I'm averaging some pretty solid use and breaking 20 hours. Love it.
played alot of angry birds trying to run it down....not bad overall i think...
Pretty light usage but thought I'd throw it up anyway.
Also, the screen isn't on during my talk time.
Phone sleeps incredibly well.

Great looking battery life all around. I don't know how some reviewers were draining the battery in 6 hours.
Any tips on how I can get thus sort of battery life? Currently getting around 6. IM at 80% screen. Thanks

(Q) Battery life

Ok so this is going to be a generic question
I'm thinking of buying droid DNA/ butterfly whatever it's called
Just wanted to know how's the battery life?
I'm a heavy user
So how long does it last under heavy usage?
Please share your experiences
Cuz I don't want to waste money on something that doesn't even last a few hours
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I am what I consider a moderate user, I have got anywhere from 8-13 hours to a charge.
Awake time 2-4 was playing mp3's in my truck. Something I also did with my T-bolt all the time. I see people on other boards saying they stream music for 4-6 hours over wi-fi and still are getting more life than I am.

Hi, the battery holds up quite nicely even with the little 2020 battery. I can easily get at least 9-12 hours of moderate but mostly heavy use from the phone. The battery LIFE compares mostly to the S3 with this battery LIFE being slightly better from my tests.
Sent from HTC DNA "The beast of all beastly phones"
Moderate to heavy user: Get about 13-14 hours on a full charge with about 3-4 hours on screen time. Almost identical battery life to my S3 using stock Rom's as a basis for comparison.
This is what I see on a light day. Heavy usage is about 12-14 hours.

My battery life isnt too bad. i unplug from home at 6:30 AM, i use maps and turn by turn navigation quite often, and normally stream a half hour show for lunch, and text and talk here n there. my battery on average lasts until about 3 PM before getting to about 5%
I am a fairly heavy user and I see between 10-13 hours out of a full charge.

I use it and battery life is not good. It also depend on your app, and how you use it.
yeah same here, i get at least solid 8 hours, and that is constant kik'ing, texting, facebook, youtube, games. this phone is by far the best i ever had.
I closed the thread as there is enough feedback in here to answer the OP's question. However, and let this be a warning to all of you...
IF a thread is created in Q&A WITH a question, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE has the right to say a word about anything other than replying to the question.

Battery drain

I'm on viper4g my battery life on stock kernel has always been good on jellybean typically still have well over 50% by the end of my day just using my phone intermittent browsing Xda on my break at work or what have you. The other day this battery drain kicks in and I couldn't find a runaway app or anything that had change significantly bring it about. I heard about this app gsam battery monitor and have been using it only problem is the percentages are going way over 100% for phone signal I can't make out what the issue even is. From my understanding having a high percentage for screen is good since that means the power is drawing primarily from the display being on as oppose to data or radio having drain when you are not using them.

I had the same problem today. Also on viper4g, running custom kernel. Yesterday I ended the day with 1 day 4 hours on one charge. Today my phone was dead in 8 hours. Tried restarting it a couple times when I noticed the battery was dropping quick.

My house gets a weak signal but that hasn't ever been a huge factor...when it drains it does even when I'm working in town where there's good reception.

Strange wish I could pinpoint what happened, it appears I'm back on track now but I'm weary of phone signal % creeping back up near or over 50%
I had the same problem when i was running viper a couple of weeks ago and i just switched to a stock rom and knock on wood my battery lasts me the whole day.
Well vipers Rom isn't built to hold a charge for along time what they emphasized on was the ability to customize just about everything which seperates it from the rest.

[Q] Lollipop vs the battery

I’ve loved my Note 3 since I got it. My last work day, end of last week, at around 1:00 PM my battery level read 83%, a common value after coming off charge at 6:00 AM. Upgraded to Lollipop yesterday, so today is the first, full day on it. At 1:00 PM, I look at the charge indicator and its reading 52%, with very light usage. What I'd like to know is if I'm alone or a rarity with this experience, or is there a big, middle-finger thank you to Samsung building.
I like some of the very cool changes, and am embarrassed for Samsung for some of the ridiculous changes made, but can live with all of it. But the change in battery drain is absurd. Does anyone have any idea what might have changed that might be causing this?
My thanks in advance.
It could be just that your phone is still in the throes of the upgrade. Try rebooting and see how it goes.
Go through and shut stuff off like network scan **** like that kills battery
