I calibrated my battery TWICE.
It regularly recharges itself without even plugging it in and turns off at around 12 percent.
If I reboot I have either 15% more or 20% less battery.
God I love my x10.

[Q] Your Max Battery Life!

What have you encountered as your maximum battery life?
If the figure is hmmm too much, tell us what you used!
what do you mean? maximum standby time or usage? is it the milivolt? please elaborate
Around 1½ day i believe. But normally ill charge it at night where it has around 20-30% left
edit:
Usage: Music(+DSP), SMS, a few calls, Web browsing (2G/3G/Wifi). Dont really play any games but I do watch musicvideos sometimes which is takes around 15minutes.

My battery life is ATROCIOUS. I can get about 5-6 hours solid use and then it's game over. Granted though, I use the market and web browser all the time and my CPU is consistently sitting at 902mhz (performance) =S

Lmfao yeah that happens. But you can get Power Saver form the market. It really works. What it does is clock down the processor depending on what profile you set the app to.
Even though, today I haven't used the phone much and it's been discharging from 16 hrs and it's still at 60% (with Power Saver turned off). I've only used it for light texting today and that's it. 3G is what sucks the battery dry. Sometimes I use Edge only (2G) and the battery lasts me a whole day and more. The other day it lasted me a whole 24 hrs and it was still at about 19% left. I'm guessing the battery can last long or short depending on the usage.

But he didn't use it. Still it's a big drain at around 1%/1.5h, comparing with the x10 mini pro with 970 mAh battery which drains at 1%/3.5h....
Cyanogenmod for ace isn't that optimized for battery life.

With Juggernaut Rom, brightness turned down and web/wifi off I can literally get like 3 days almost if I'm not texting heavily. As soon as I turn internet on I'd say a max of 12 hours. The best battery life I ever got out of it was BeastMod, CPU underlocked to just 1ghz and brightness turned down. Even with web on, still got me almost 2 days - sync off.

battery drain during browser navigation

Hi guys !

During web browsing in wifi (i use dolphin or maxton), my battery goes down 1% every 2 min. I set brightness to minimum.
I have no wakelocks or strange things..dolphin consume even more than screen on. Is it normal ?

1% for 2 minutes , 100% is 200 minutes which is a little over 3 hours .
it could be "normal" if battery dies in 3 hours more or less.

I know, for example now, I have 3 hours screen on, music and Wi-Fi, still has 38% battery, 38% can easily last 10 hours or so of standby with Wi-Fi or 3G. Which isn't usual for me because it used to be battery dead by now .
Just wanna say, be happy with what you have, more you expected, more disappointed you will be.

Viper
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I have yet to have a phone that did not get improved via battery life from a custom ROM, even just a debloated and streamlined version of the stock one. Fully stock roms tend to just have too much crap on, and in, them to have wrangle out max battery life, max performance, or a truly optimal mix of both.
Using NOS underclocked to 1GHz undervolted 75mv across the board all set to conservative and 10 hours later 3+ hours of screen on data downloading GPS etc 60% Battery Remaining... Very nice

RE: Battery Life
I can't complain. NO Root or Custom Roms...Stock. Pleased and v/surprised at same time. Yesterday was crazy good. Can't remember exact bat stats, but about 2 hrs talk, 20+ SMS and MMS, NO Wifi, NO Bluetooth, maybe 15 min browsing, appx. 15 min GPS and Screen couple hrs. No tricks or apks, just always turn off locations, wifi and bluetooth when not using ans auto-sync always off. Also disabled many bloat apks that I will never use.
17 Hours total 22% with 6 Hours of Screen On Time.

Dayum! Which kernel are you using?

I just installed Viper this last weekend and I got 60 hours on my first full charge with light usage. I don't think I even tweaked anything on the ROM or screen settings, and this is just with whatever kernel came included with the ROM.

I'm getting 16-20 hours with around 4 hours on time. I'm underclocked and undervolted , brightness at 25% most of the time, and I just supercharged my phone so I'm waiting to see if that'll help it. I know I've got my standby battery drain down to one percent every 2.5hours. Left it off the charger last night and it was at 98% when I woke up 5.5 hours later. Just gotta play with the settings and tweaks.

Is keeping Wi-Fi on all the time better for battery?

I get good battery life most of the time. But I am at the ball fields with my kids a lot with no way of charging mine or my wife's phone.
So I got me an Anker portable battery and it saves me all the time. I purchased the Astro E4 13000mAh Dual USB so me and my wife can charge our phones at the same time without looking for a outlet or going to the car. We can both charge our phones 3 times each on this thing before its dead.

As far as battery life is concerned, wifi > 3g > 4g.
But if you're not connected to a wifi network, leaving wifi on will drain your battery. It may not be by much, but I always turn wifi off when I'm not on wifi.

My battery lasts me at the MOST 6 hours...

I feel like I am doing something wrong with my gn2 because everybodu gets at least 24 hours. My screen is all the way down all unused connections are off and im really only browsing rhe web and playing a max of 30 minutes of gaming (typically candy crush) WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!

If you turned the phone on and used it for 30 mins and then idle it for another 5 and 1/2 hours and it died... then something is wrong.

Sounds to me like the NSA is on to you my friend.
From the looks of your screen shot you have alot of things running in the background. Emulator, torrent and media servers drain battery quickly. I can get 2 days with my setup. But if I play words with friends my battery is dead in 4 hours. Some apps are just battery leeches. What Rom n kernel are you running.

Holy crap you have your screen on alot. What is your screen on time? If you are getting 4 or 5 screen on time, that isn't bad. Looks like your phone sleeps when screen is off which is good. I just think you are killing your battery with on screen time. Most people saying they get 1 to 2 day use don't have the screen on that much. I usually get 5 hours of screen time on 4g. However my 5 hour screen on time spands over 15 hours. Also depends on what you are doing when screen is on... Playing games drain vs checking email for example.

Another app you can try (which) is free, is CPU spy to check if you is staying or stuck in a high speed frequency, say 1600 mhz
