With all these news leaks and roms available now it would be nice to know what people get for battery life across the different leaks and roms.
Post a pic of your battery usage and screen on time and what your using to get it
My setup is in my signature
These are the first stats since i started trying anthrax and it was all going good till the second day. i have no clue why
there are a few reasons why i created a new thread:
1.most people werent posting pic but instead just stats
2.the thread was ancient, created in november and the last post was in
late january, bumped in feb by a trolling gnex user

I used incredicontrol to undervolt everything by 50 or 75 in incredicontrol. Using stock freqs, and ondemand governor. And used danuntzz's tool to do most of the desensing/debloating.

I also used Romtoolbox's auto start manager to keep things from opening in the background, it's probably the most helpful app I've used. Thanks next I just need the mugen 4000mAh so I'd only need to charge it on the weekends, but that thing is really expensive for a battery.
I thought these were pretty good numbers for locked and stock.

I need to figure out what's wrong with mine. I'm getting results like this with the extended VZ battery. I have to keep it plugged in all the time. Even with 4G disabled (3G still on), no wifi, no bluetooth; most days it will be dead in 8-10 hours.
Currently running 5/1 leak radios (RUU'd last week), running BAMF ICS 2.1 with the kernel that came with the Rom (1512mhz max, 384mhz min). Most syncing besides gmail is disabled.
I'll get a pic whenever i go unplugged again. I'm working remotely this week and am keeping it plugged up during conference calls.

I currently have a 3.8 battery in my release day rezound. It has pretty crappy life and I was wondering, is it worth it to buy a 3.7 battery? What are your experiences if you switched?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I've got both and I can't tell the difference between the two when using them. The only difference is the 3.7 fully charges in my battery charger, but the 3.8 only charges to like 80% just like in our early ICS days.

Take it to Verizon and have them switch it out.. they should do it no pro lem the 3.8 actually don't work right with ICS..

The 3.8v vs 3.7v thing doesn't matter anymore with ICS. It's been fixed for a looong time. Like I said, the only difference is with my external battery charger.
Edit: But yeah, if the battery performance is degrading see if they'll swap it out.

I use an external charger as well the one I had before was an OEM rezound charger it didn't fully charge my 3.8 either. the one I have now is actually made for digital cameras but it works great and fully charges my batteries in about two to three hours..you can find em at Wal-Mart by the sd cards and digital cameras. It's universal.. I charge about four different batteries everyday.. drill, two different phones, my daughters play phonn (old android with a broken charging port)

yep what ^^ they said. you're still under the umbrella of 1 year warranty so take it to them.
I've had 3.8 since the get-go. I've never over heated or had bad battery life with any of the firmware. I am currently S-Off, have the most current version of ICS, and am using a custom ROM.
I get approx. 13 hours with 2+ hours of display time and moderate use.
I bought the droid DNA a couple days ago and I have 10 days to decide wether or not I want to keep it. It sounds like Verizon won't be getting the HTC one so I'm trying to decide whether to buy the s4 or wait for the developers to unlock the 2.06 boot loader so I can root it. Opinions?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
It's really up to whether you like touchwiz or sense. And if you really need extra storage.
And keep in mind, the Verizon s4 will have a locked boatloader, so there's no telling how long you'll have to wait to root that. So I woildnt make rooting a deciding factor.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Its the battery life that's really getting me. I absolutely love the display and camera quality but only having 16GB of internal storage is holding me down. I only have around 60 apps installed, all of which I use, but I have more that I would like to install but can't because of the limited space. I love the DNA's well built body and everything about the way it looks, but having poor battery life and a small amount of storage is whats changing my mind. The S4 is such a high demand and popular smart phone that I doubt I would have to wait that long before somebody unlocks it.

The s4 has about the same battery life as the dna, maybe slightly better. What type of battery life are you getting on your DNA. It should be able to last all day with 3-5 hours of screen on time.

nice, what app is the one in the top left? is it gsam? but even if your stuck on stock this phone still has good bat life.
I'd wait it out a couple weeks for the S4. I have both to play with (thanks work) and I keep finding myself going back to the S4.
S4 over DNA
Better battery life, I'm even running the DNA on HSPA+ and it dies faster
Far better camera
I love blocking mode for at night, it works just like iOS do not disturb
Deeper Dev Pool for troubleshooting and hacks
Faster across the board
Will have a bootloader unlock solution almost day one.
MicroSD card for pictures and downloads
Multi color notification light
DNA over S4
Damn it's pretty
Great screen
HTC feels less bloated
More available storage because it is less bloated
Did I mention that it looks far better?
Wireless charging built in (but very slow)

The Dev is just waiting for the Verizon version to be released before he announces the exploit.
The S4 has the option for qi but requires the purchase of a new back panel that has the qi receiver built in, it's not released as of yet but I believe it is set to go for $40.
If I were you I would get the DNA and personally I wish I had the option to because the main reason for getting this phone was a 1080p display but now that the S4 has one I would choose the S4 because I miss the developer support with galaxy phones.

Not to mention that the S4 battery is removable and charges in 1h from 0 to 100%. With that being said the DNA has an impressive battery life considering the "small" 2020mah battery and the 5inch 1080p display.
Quick charge batteries usually end up needing replaced much more often than a non removeable battery like the DNA has. Quick charge is cool and all but the average battery life on my DNA according to gsam is 18 hours. More than enough

The phone is actually pretty good, especially for its age...
You really need to ditch the stock ROM and try something like Cooked. It will perform better AND have better battery life to boot. There will be nothing laggy about it
Also, keep in mind that playing games will drain the battery quickly on any phone regardless of the ROM.

True. This is very light use. No gaming. Not a lot of screen time even. But it illustrates that the kind of problem that you described is due to firmware, and not the phone. There is a thread in this forum titled Known identified battery drainers that can help you understand how to correct battery issues. Part of the problem can be the rom, or more specifically the kernel, but there are other possible issues to consider. You can configure your phone to get very good battery life, even with heavy usage.

Same here. In fact, I get better stats than that.
With WiFi and Bluetooth on and several accounts set to automatically sync, I can get over 48 hours of battery life with light usage (under an hour of screen time). I typically get 5 - 6 hours of screen time with moderate usage. More if I keep the brightness down.
This phone has amazing battery life out of the box. I feel no need to change ROMs or kernels. That said, if a new ROM/kernel could increase my battery life by an additional 25% or more, I might give it a whirl.

I'm pretty sure you must be right cuz these are the best ROM and Kernel for the G2. It's a shame the both got discontinued. I have just one question. When I flashed the kernel after flashing the CleanROM it restored some of my old stuff from my carrier's default ROM like the boot animation, some framework icons and some app icons too.
I wanted to know if there's a way of flashing Wootever's kernel without his happening. I got no clue of how the kernel did this or where was this data stored. If you have any idea on this topic I and could provide me with some info it would be great. Thanks in advance.
