What has been people's experience with battery life with the different ROMs? I've been on AOKP for awhile, and the battery, quite frankly, sucked compared to stock. I'm currently on PA and am getting just under stock. For me, battery life is first priority, even if there is occasional stutter. Testing battery life takes a long time, so I just wanted to see what others have been seeing. I would stay on stock, but I really want Tablet UI and real setting toggles.

Disable Google Now and see if that helps, totally did on my HOX and I've yet done it to my Nexus but I've not used it enough to actually deplete a battery yet.

You sort of want your cake and eat it too. If you want a ROM full of features and packed full of unicorn blood and the tears of leprechauns something is going to have to give and that will always be the battery life.
I use pa ...I charge my tablet every other day

Stock ROM
Ktoonsez Kernel: Underclock to 1.3Ghz
Disabled: Google Now, GPS,
Freeze: all stock apps I don't use, Magazine, books, currents
Battery Life: 4 days.
I read a lot.
Don't game.
Watch videos with zero stutter.
I finally charged my tablet last night. Im at 82% in 8 hours.

I'm addicted to my tablet... I've been using it without stop for the last three hours. This are my results with Paranoidandroid:
Very similar with stock though. I think I could upload some as well.
I'm pretty sure this is stock. Not a lot of difference as I said. Both of the images are with very heavy usage, I mean, screen on all the time, but almost the lowest brightness. With the screen off I get almost no drop.
(I couldn't attach the image in the previous post)
Battery life will always be a combination of idle drain + screen on drain. THe most important is obviously how long you can actually use the tablet (screen on time), but you also need good enough idle drain to not lose hardly any charge between when you use your tablet.
The more features you add the less battery life usually is. So either keep PA so you have the tablet UI or use a ROM that is very close to stock, like the stock ROM from scrosler or Muzzy's ROM.
A kernel can also have greater effect on battery life. If you want the best battery then go with KTManta kernel. Use either PegasusQ or ktoonservative governor and add in some undervolting to lower power draw. Using this combination I was able to get over 13 hours of screen on time in 1 charge. Idle drain was about 1% every 8-9 hours.
Personally, I've found that my battery life has improved maybe 10% since running cyanogenmod. If I'm really lucky I can get 7 hours SOT. Not a huge improvement over stock, but its definitely better.
Its worth noting that I use the "performance" CPU governor, which is supposed to be a battery killer. Strangely it doesn't seem to make much difference for me though, it just makes everything quicker!

Well, it is difficult to notice a higher battery drop when it is already insane... XD. Well, according to battery widget I'm getting around 8h with the screen on, which is not bad.

I've used the "battery widget" for a very long time and that app is a battery drainer. Got way better battery life uninstalling that app.

Anybody else notice that standby battery life seems to have gotten worse in 8.8.3.33? Mine was dropping less than .5% per hour before, now it seems to be considerably more (just noticed so no chance yet to quantify)...
Edit: Actually, I'm leaning toward battery life in general being worse...

Hard to say but I'm leaning towards maybe lol
I agree it could be a maybe.
Mine was fully charged when I disconnected it before work. It's been sitting at home on standby for 15.5 hours and it's at 94%.
During that time it's been connected to my WIFI, it updated google translate, and it synced with 3 e-mail accounts every 4 hours and my main email account every hour.
Seems the same to me.
mines seem to get even better battery life after update. check your background processes to make sure they aren't any unwanted background apps running. those will drain battery. overall battery life is great and the standby life is unreal how good it is. do you think your battery fully broken in yet? how long you had it?
Mine seems worse as well. No testing to prove it but it's been in the back of my mind since shortly after the update.

Nothing new since the update as far as background processes. I've had it since Friday, and it's had two full charge/discharge cycles. But again this is compared to before the update...
I'll let it sit overnight and see if this is just my imagination.

Mine goes down 15% per hour - mainly browsing www. isnt it to much? Before and after uptdate
i had 99% a hour ago and now its 90% i have only watched 10minutes of iplayer and read one email the rest of the time the tablet has been on stand by. i have a task killer running and it was up dated yesterday.
also i cant seem to see Time remaining of the battery rather than just %
its as bad as my HTC HD before it was rooted
As an update, I let it sit overnight for 8 hours and it went from 15% to 12%, or about .375%/hour. So, that's pretty good standby performance and my impression was mistaken.
After using it, though, I'm thinking my impression was coming more from battery life in use, which does seem less than before. I think they've done something with the power settings that I'd expect them to undo in the next update (or just in the ICS upgrade).
The power mode you using, type of activities you doing on prime, and brightness will directly affect battery drain while device being used. I always have my prime in balanced mode for the best of both worlds, Performance and battery life. as i never had any lag or any anything in this mode. I've noticed, even with heavy usage in balanced mode, battery drains about 10% or a lil less per hour. if light usage then it even drains less. Check out my "Different Performance Modes of Prime/Tegra3" thread. I started it to address issues like this and people compare performance and battery life in different modes. as everyone will have a different setup or use different. There is also a bstterylife thread started by TylerZ that needs resurrecting also. now that all the preorder threads n such got merged we can have some more relevant threads stay current.
honestly though, the battery life is amazing on this tab. to the other guy saying he has a task killer rubbing in the background..lmao that's his problem right there. Honeycomb or ICS doesn't need task killers as memory managemanent is already taken care of by the OS itself. and does a pretty damn good job at it also. if you wanna kill one or 2 apps that's OK. but to have a task killer running in background of honey comb OS does more harm than good.

i've noticed a slight downgrade in battery life while using the tablet, but not in standby mode.
also noticed that changing the performance mode no longer seems to make as big of an adjustment to the screen as it used to. perhaps the update increased processor performance, which explains why it feels snappier in general, and also seems to use up slightly more power.
I know there are some people experience battery issues, but I've experienced none. Running on the latest build .15, This is after leaving it unplugged over night at 100% to then moderate use all day (Youtube, Email, Browser, Pinball, Sprinkle, Music, Camera, Video Cam).
I'm happy to say the least.
Cripes!!!
Is that with or without the keyboard attached?
Without Waiting for the price to drop a bit before I buy it, it will drop soon I'm sure.
The battery is so good on this thing it's not even an issue. I never check battery stats or anything like that.
Can go through a day no problem, always on performance mode.

I am sure that that battery statistic includes plenty of standby time, since it is unlikely anyone would be playing pinball for 24 hours
I get similar battery life with my Prime. A day and a half or more with moderate use and normal downtime (like when I am sleeping). I am pretty sure I could leave this thing sitting in standby mode for weeks and still come back to it and find usable battery life remaining.

same here and i just plug it in when i get home.
On update .11 I was getting 2 1/2 days (tablet only) with the same moderate-heavy use, always-on WiFi. About 4 days on standby.
Update .14 I guess is doing better than .13, but I only get 2 days with tablet+dock and about the same usage as before. Haven't tested standby.
I've found battery life to go like this on .15, with auto brightness (which usually finds a good level for me) and Balanced battery setting:
1. Around .375%/hour on standby. That seems excellent to me, particularly considering that I keep wifi on and everything syncing in the background. I can't imagine getting better standby battery life unless I turned everything off, which I don't want to do. I like it that my Prime is up to date when I wake it up.
2. Around 7.5%/hour when doing things like ebook reading, VERY light browsing, etc. That also is excellent, meaning I can use the things for ebook reading for over 10 hours. Can't ask for more than that. Note that if I read outside in direct sunlight and Super IPS+ mode turns on, battery life is cut SIGNIFICANTLY. That's to be expected of course, and it's just as much of an impact as I imagined.
3. Around 15%/hour for heavier browsing, ebook reading, watching video, casual gaming, etc. That's a little less than I'd hoped, coming in at around 6.5 hours total.
4. Around 30%/hour for heavier gaming (e.g., Shadowgun). I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Seems like it's excessive, but then again this IS pretty intense gaming.
I can help these scores a bit if I run on Battery Saver mode, which will work for all but heavy gaming. Funny thing is, according to CPU Spy mine barely ever pushes 1300MHz or 1400MHz, no matter what mode its in. It spends most of it's time at 1200MH, in deep sleep, or in the lower (100MHz-400MHz) range. I wonder if Nvidia still has some tuning to be, and if performance and battery life can still be optimized a bit--it seems to spend TOO MUCH time at 1200MHz when that kind of speed doesn't seem necessary, and TOO LITTLE time at 1400MHz when that kind of speed would be helpful.
Wow! Great battery life OP. That guy named Ickii needs to see this thread. He created a thread on his prime getting bad battery life.
Same results here though. Great battery life in balanced mode and very heavy usage.
Which of the ROMs available in the development area will provide me with the greatest battery life? (without loss of important features or anything)

You could take a look at the Neutrino ROM. It is missing features, though there are plenty of add-ons that you could easily download to suit your needs. Other than that it's extremely compact and snappy, and (so I've heard) the black and white theme actually helps out battery life tremendously.

This is for my girlfriend's phone. I can't test these out realtime, but I put the light Neutrino on it and it didn't last a whole day. Got Aqua on there and the battery life on there doesn't seem to be exquisite either.
Gonna try out Nottachtrix when I get the chance.
ROMS generally take a few days to show their full battery potential. In other words, when you install a new ROM you should charge it to 100% (before installing), delete the battery stats, and discharge all the way through until it turns off. Charge it all the way to 100% and discharge to 0% for a few cycles and you'll begin to see more accurate battery performance. Installing a ROM for one day and then installing another the next isn't going to tell you anything about true battery performance. It needs a little bit of time, just like it took a few cycles when she first got her phone for the battery to last its full amount.
Neutrino and CM7 should generally be lasting a whole day, if not 2 days. I am on a CM9 based ROM and even my battery lasts from 6 in the morning to 12 at night. As I've stated, it takes a bit of time for the battery to shine.
I get pretty decent battery life out of The Darkside Prefinal. From 6am-10pm with about an hour or so charging inbetween I usually have about 40% or so left. Neutrino ROM has been pretty good to me too. About 35%-30% left in the same time frame mentioned earlier
Hello,
I was wondering which rom you guys could recommend for better than stock battery life? Seems like a lot of the roms are tweaked for smoothness and speed not battery life. Currently on d3rpICS but the battery life isn't so great...barely getting 8 hours with 1 hour on screen time. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Meanrom ICS comes to mind. Your kernel can also play a role on battery life too. Overclocking will drain your battery, so will certain governors. Experiment around a lil bit to see what settings work for you.

How are you only getting 1 hour of screen on time? I suspect something else is the issue. Are you in an area with poor signal reception (that is usually my worst battery drainer)? Or maybe you have a runaway app. I recommend that you download Better Battery Stats XDA to monitor what apps are eating your battery.
Maybe you could try a fresh install of the ROM, but leave off the extra apps and see how it runs.

Coolexe's kernel UV's the screen, i'm getting 4+ hours scraping 5 hours+ on screen tme ... note not using 3g, i find 3g canes my battery.
tips.. stop the media service in running apps 'the one that often gets stuck restarting' .. mediadbmservice or something, i can't find anything that doesn't work after disabling
running 1188 -ondemand, cpu1 not forced always on and gpu3d/2d/266/200 using 'kernel tuner' and a small undervolt.. all 1xxx up to 1188 frequencies set at 1.0
I also stop apps that i don't need after their use, including 'kernel tuner', I know your not supposed to but i haven't seen any ill effect so far.
I tried Vigor360, and though I hate Sense, it was.. okay...except battery life was worse than on my Thunderbolt. I've tried flashing different kernels but more problems usually arrise out of the blue and I have NO CLUE which kernels are actually good , good as in they actually male an effort to improve the battery life. I'm currently on a CM9 ROM and holy hell! The keyboard lags and battery life is ATROCIOUS ! I haven't even hardly installed any apps!
I tried Newt's One XXX, v5.1.1 but couldn't stand the minor bugs, but I assume battery life on that ROM is way worse than on Vigor360 (since usually, the higher the version of Sense, the worse it is on the battery) when I had a galaxy Nexus, the picture quality was a joke, but I made it well through the day with it! I'm not getting an extended battery. The phone is thick enough -.-
My current usage is about 7 hours,an hour and a half of screen time, battery is at 7%. I can sort of stand sense 3.6 so long as it isn't theme. What ROM/kernel combo do you guys use to get through the day, or did I make a mistake getting this phone? (No offense)

going to need some things from you:
1. are you s-on or off
2. what firmware are you on
3. do you like sense or aosp more
edit: 7 and 1/2 hours screen time. that is awesome for the REZ. the HD screen is what kills the battery the most. if you can get 7 hours then bravo.
He said he is averaging 7hrs of use with 1.5hrs screen time which is pretty bad. Believe it or not, newts one xxx has probably the best battery life for the rez. I can easily get 14hrs with 3hrs screen time with stock battery. Yesterday I got 17 hrs with 5.5hrs screen time on extended battery. That is probably the best Rom atm and sense 4+ is much more appealing to the eye. All I can say is if you don't like sense, you bought the wrong phone. People will forget about this phone before aosp/aokp is perfected, even though they are making great progress. I can never get any kernels to work right either. Leaving stock kernels is usually best.

Wow!! The big reason I have this phone is.. well..
Had a Nexus, broke it and sold it for $75, relative let me use an iPhone 4... I lasted a week before caving and bought a Thunderbolt for $90.
I couldn't stand the ancient android OS and the phone was having random data drops, so I got Verizon to replace it with another thunderbolt. The replacement had the same issue + the vibrate motor decided when and when not to work. The guy on the phone was like "well, since you've had several replacements of this phone, we're gonna see about sending g you a different phone to resolve your issues once and for all, but the phone you receive won't come with a battery cover or battery." I told him I had a battery cover and battery for a Rezound and asked if that could be sent to me, he said "sure, we should be able to do that."
This phone killed my 32GB microSD card :'(

When asking for help you usually shouldn't trash every kernel/rom made available to us by our hard working devs. Also, your theory on the sense number being higher = higher battery usage is way false. Sense 4 & sense 4.1 were actually designed to decrease battery usage and lag so I would stick with one of those. Also, try underclocking your cpu and changing governors.

People need to stop judging battery life based on screen-on time and hours of use. It varies per person depending on how many accs/apps are syncing. I am tired of all this "better battery" and comparing usage time. If you want more battery, stop syncing on all apps/account. I wish people would stop posting screenshots of their usage. It just means they don't use their phone as much in terms of accs and apps running. Stock rom/kernel best for stability.

It might vary somewhat, but screen-on time and total time are still good yardstick level indicators of battery charge longevity. It's not like when you sync your google account your battery only lasts 1/3 as long - it's maybe a 10% difference, depending on your signal strength, if you're on wifi, etc.

Try reformatting the sd card on your computer via a card reader.
Rage ROM 1.9.1 is a good ROM, nice and smooth. I got about 2 and a half hours of screen on time with that ROM and Snuzzos Funky Kernel. Very nice combination.
If you want to be real fancy you can build a CM10 ROM. There's a guide for it in the Dev section. (Well, the guide is to make CM9, but it's easy to modify the commands to make it build CM10 instead). I get about 3 hours and 15 mins of screen on time on average with the stock battery, no kernel modifications or anything fancy. Brightness is at 25%. I ran it with brightness on 100% for a day and got about 2 hrs and 15 mins of screen on time.

As much as you dislike this method of determining battery life, it is really the only way to gauge battery life on a forum. You are right that it also depends on apps syncing and such but a Rom that can get 12hrs with 3hrs screen time is more battery friendly than a Rom that can do that same12hrs but with 1.5hrs screen on time with the same setup and usage.

How much battery account sync uses is dependent on just how popular you are we have push sync. This isn't Android 1.5 wen're talking about. Push sync uses very little battery.
And sure, I could build a CM10 ROM, but won't it basically be useless cause most things will be broken or barely working?
I've been running it as a daily driver since the 12th. It's surprisingly stable. No random FCs or anything. There are some graphical artifacts while watching streaming video like on YouTube and Project Butter isn't working, but it's still pretty smooth. Bluetooth calling isn't working either, but nor is it on AOSP ICS either. That's pretty much it for problems.

And just to clarify, I'm not.dissing ROM's or developers, in fact, I'm going to admit, I'm a huge Newtoroot fanboy lol. Maybe its cause I've known of him since the Droid Incredible! But I've been running One XxX Rom for about a day now and battery life is still pretty bad, what are some good Sense kernels for battery life?

Try snuzzo's 1.6rc2 kernel with it . I am on ecliptic Rom, but have run Newts and switched to that kernel on both. It's in his funky kernel thread.

I have tried all the sense roms and Nilsp business sense 4.0 gives me the best battery life

That's good. About average for a sense 4+ Rom

Rage ROM 1.9.1 is a good ROM, nice and smooth. I got about 2 and a half hours of screen on time with that ROM and Snuzzos Funky Kernel. Very nice combination.
If you want to be real fancy you can build a CM10 ROM. There's a guide for it in the Dev section. (Well, the guide is to make CM9, but it's easy to modify the commands to make it build CM10 instead). I get about 3 hours and 15 mins of screen on time on average with the stock battery, no kernel modifications or anything fancy. Brightness is at 25%. I ran it with brightness on 100% for a day and got about 2 hrs and 15 mins of screen on time.

how the heck are you guys getting these ridiculous screen on times with the stock battery?? the best ive ever gotten WITH AND EXTENDED BATTERY is like 3hr screen on time and ~13 hours unplugged with countershrikes AOSP and Funky Kernel
and no where near that with my stock battery

I've been wondering that myself lol. I haven't done anything different; same apps, same sync settings, same display brightness, just the ROM + kernel is different. I'm not even undervolted like I was and I'm doing better than before lol... Must be the ROM/stock CM10 kernel I guess.
