I am coming from MeanRom, which was fabulous.
MeanBean is very good too, but my battery life is miserable now. Looking in the battery stats the only thing that looks unusual is the Internet (meaning the browser app) is at 36 percent of the total battery usage.
Is anyone else getting miserable battery life, and what is your internet usage reading?

I'm on MeanBean .5 and my battery life, albeit not better than MeanRom, is not that bad. My internet usage reading is 8%. I usually don't leave my 3G/WiFi on all day and I only turn it on when I want to check something or get a MMS. I guess that's why my battery life isn't nearly as bad as yours on MeanBean.
So sounds like your battery life is about the same? Are you using the new kernel or the old one?
Yeah I would make that assumption. I'm using whichever kernel Mikey included in the Rom, which I'm assuming is the JB kernel because the ICS kernel won't work. I try to stay away from other kernels because the kernel Mikey includes in his Roms is usually tweaked to work specifically for his Roms.
Disable Google now, don't fill up every home screen with widgets, reboot and give the kernel a day to settle. That should improve your battery life to almost ics levels

I don't use Google Now, nor do I use any widgets other than weather. Hmmm...
Anyway if Google Now was the problem where would that show under battery usage statistics? Anyone know?
Thanks
Something else to keep in mind is that MeanROM included Mikey's custom kernel, which was a big contribution to the fantastic battery life.
Swiped from my EVO
I was not using the custom kernel, and even so the battery went forever and ever

Someone on another forum suggested turning off location history in maps helped a lot with their battery life...
And someone else suggested a simple factory reset after flashing the ROM...(I know this helped out with a previous phone I had - it was burning battery like cray and running hot, and factory reset cured everything.)
I thought the batter life was much better with Meanbean

Hello everyone,
Keeping things short here:
I want my phone's battery to last longer than 7 hours no use (with decent signal).
Running the latest Myn's rom.
I'm in love with Sense3.0, tried Sense3.5 and I love it (kinda prefer 4g for use at home, so I'm not using 3.5 yet)
I love Sense 3.0. Would Desensifying (getting rid of Sense) Improve my battery life DRASTICALLY? I mean, how heavy is Sense anyway?
I'm using myns ROM with tiamats sence kernal and wow I'm getting awesome battery life. It's almost unreal with tiamats kernal. Try it out and see what you think

The less processes you have running, the longer the phone will operate.
Enable "power efficiency" & you could also adjust a "power saver" condition in the power settings on a Sense based ROM.
On a Senseless ROM you could run longer but again, it all depends on what's running, Lengthen the time for your synced items or updated those items manually & you'll be fine.
7 hours(no use)!!! That's horrible. You might want to wipe everything and reflash. I haven't tried Myns ROM but I seriously doubt it sucks that much
No use 7 hours? I get 24+ hours on myns if I don't touch the phone.

Even with steady use (goofing off at work) I feel like I must get more than 7 hours. I get much more than that normally. I'm using viperROM which throttles the CPU based on the screen's on/off state.
You must have an app keeping your phone awake. The Evo can get around a week on its battery if you don't touch it at all.
Find out whatever is doing it and you should be getting a better battery life.
So turning on power efficiency helped, in 7 hours the battery was still at 30%. I'm going to try now without sense.

Desensified (gingerbread) - 17 hours!
All moderate use, no repeated trials, but you can see my point. Hopefully Sense 3.5 would be lighter.

Got InfectedROM and decided to try out Tiamats Kernal.. benchmarks went from initial stock of 2500 to tiamat 1500... haha
Wasn't Sense 3.5 meant to have lower HW-demands than 3.0?!? I think I read that somewhere... That even older HTC handsets that couldn't run 3.0 could get upgraded to 3.5.

Has anyone noticed improved battery life with the latest update? I know its to be expected, but I didn't expect this much. Normally on the weekends I have to charge my phone after 5 or 6 hours. Today with the same usage I went about thirteen hours. And btw I'm original DROID RAZR.

I have the Maxx and get great battery life, but I really haven't noticed any better life after the OTA. Yesterday after heavy use I still had 44% after 16 hours. This is with 4g always on. The 4g/3g hand off is as good and automatic as it ever was.
Actually I haven't noticed any improvement except, the colored icons in settings and the added features in the camera app. At least it didn't slow down my phone or add any lag!
Sent my new Droid Razr Maxx
I've noticed improved battery life also. I also noticed that 4g is on constantly now, no more switching between 4g & 3g so I'm guessing that's where the improved battery life is coming from. Expet for when I was out of 4g coverage, I litteraly haven't seen 3g since the update, I love it!
It's not a fluke but a known benefit of the update. You might also notice the phone doesn't get as warm as before under heavy use.
Its not supposed to get as warm too! Hell yeah. Now if I could figure out the media process that starts at launch and stop it, cuz that really heats up my phone and kills the battery.

It's because of CDRX.
While we don't usually cover every software update on every platform, I thought it worth noting something special about the new update which will begin going out shortly to the Motorola Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX. Among the features included in "6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US" is a new feature that isn't directly advertised in the changelog - it's the inclusion of Connected Discontinuous Reception, or CDRX for Motorola/TI's codename Wrigley 4G LTE baseband. The short of it is improved battery life on 4G LTE.

What apps? I have yet to see an app that doesn't work in ICS.
And 2:30 vs 3:30 screen on, or total time? Sounds like your usage is different than everyone else considering most other people get 4-5 hours screen-on time. And screen-on time isn't the only way to measure battery life unless you have zero standby time and a known quantity of what's running in the background.

I have seen a few apps that don't work in ICS. Some that are important to me. But the same thing happened in gingerbread. You have to wait till devs get all the apps updated. It is difficult since there are so many different devices that needs to be developed for differently.
And everyone's useage is different. Not sure what OP meant by 2:30-3:30 whether screen on or total but 4-5 hours screen on is not what everyone else is getting. It depends what you do with your phone. Maybe you sit and stare at your home page with a picture of you on it all day. But I use my phone. Much going on besides screen on. I hate to even call it a phone.

Back to GB for me - I flashed just about everything (my two favorite ICS ROMS were Flappjaxxx's UCLF6 (FJ MOD - not AOSP) and Hotwire's CM9 - each of these was smooth and ran w/good battery life BUT.. I am back on Saurom V7 w/RC7.1. No ICS ROM that I've seen has the kind of functionality that I want - for example using the notification toggles to put the screen to sleep - such a simple thing and only found in Saurom. Or Wake on Volume (although a few ICS ROM's have this) - these are the things that really make my phone useful, not to mention a fully functional SPen memo app.
However, I am using Saurom with the UCLF6 Modem, OC'ing to 1.782 (min 192) w/SetCPU, ADW EX Launcher and it's smooth, about 3 hrs screen on time (lot's of texts, phone calls and Emails) and total of about 12-14 hours before I get to ~ 20%.
I'm happy!
This might be a dumb question but I will ask anyway. I also would like to go back to GB. I do not like rooting a all. So is there a way to go back to the official GB from the official ICS with out rooting?

Yeah, I had to Factory Reset twice to get rid of the lag, and it didn't completely resolve it. It's like even some of the core apps aren't optimized. Weird. The stuttering animations really make me pissed
If you want developer options go to settings, about phone, software information, more, then click on Build Number a bunch of times and it re-enables developer options
I feel bad for u guys tht had to wait all this time and now have performance/battery issues ... I have none here hahahaha
Actually I think it's better after that 2nd reset. It may have just needed some time to "settle"

Seriously? That's weird.
I don't want to factory reset, especially if it doesn't even solve the problem. This is lame.
I disabled the lookout app. That got rid of my wake lock . Battery life is still bad though.

No problem here. I did notice that my phone was running hot after the update. I ended up powering it off for a few minutes. When I powered it back up, it ran at normal temperature. Or maybe it just cooled down.
well, I sure am glad I have a jump from t-mobile. I'm going to offload this piece of crap for Nexus 5.

I have no battery issues here. I cleared all cache using an app right after the update.

Is there a widget which will tell you how many hours of usage you have left....I know there are apps that can tell you this but I am looking for just a widget with all the info such as time left for surfing or watching videos etc.
there are quite a few, but i've always used battery monitor widget pro. it's got tons of info as well as estimated times.

Quick question does the calibration on this app work to get a more accirate time? I dont want to waste an hour on it if it doesnt work. Thanks in advance.
P.s. loving the app mind.

The calibration feature seems to be based on tried-&-true techniques & would only make it more accurate. It works pretty well without calibrating, so the worst that could happen is that it will work better. I am glad you like the app. I liked it so much that I purchased the ad-free version to support the Dev.

I guess it can only make it better ... will give it a go whenever I get an hour free. Thanks again :good:
@BigBroham1984 so I did the calibration and the new times it gave were stupid, for some reason all the calibration tests (video, music and internet) took 3% each which made me think the calibration was off lol. Anyways I uninstalled it and reinstalled a fresh copy to get the numbers back to the old one.
So now I have 9.30hrs of Internet on a widget (which is spot on screen time) HOWEVER if I open the app at all it sets it 12 hrs Internet time remaining so now I basically just have the widget which works nicely but if I do click it accidentally I will have to reinstall it Lol. Apart from this annoyance the widget is great.

I ended up getting 3% for music, 5% for video, and 7% for internet. Thats significantly worse than yours and it estimated about 6 hours of wifi time. Which is pretty close. I generally get 5-6 hours

5-6 hours , has it always been that bad or is it just the issues your having causing such battery drain..
