So I might be trading my Gnex for an Amaze + cash, but my main concern is battery life. That, and learning a different process of flashing roms/radios, since I've only ever tinkered with Samsung/LG devices.
So my fellow members, what screen on time (best way to measure battery life I think) do you guys get? I get around 5 hours on my Gnex. Mention what rom/radio as well if you can.

Moderate use on stock, change a few settings, no unnecessary background programs, I get a decent 12-16 hours with moderate use, though to be honest, I text a lot, check my facebook, be on xda and stuff quite a bit. I set my screen timeout to 15s. So you gotta tweak it and mess with it a bit. Some custom roms have reported better life.
On speed Rom I get a full day with 40% to spare with a lot of browsing and playing games through the day, I'm sure you could get that with other roms as well. The amaze has no custom radio or kernel for ics at the moment

To be honest I've never measured/calculated my Screen On Battery Life. But total battery time for me is a good 12-16+ hrs.
Also its recommended, but not necessary, to S-Off your device. It makes flashing Roms much easier to flash. But if you don't want to perform that then use 4EXT Recovery and it can flash kernels without the use of fastboot to flash a kernel.
If the Amaze you get isn't updated to ICS then you're better off upgrading first before rooting and etc... Have Fun!

Care to show a screenshot of the screen on time too?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I am just stock ICS and generally get 9-11 hours. Screen is usually on 2 plus hours and do a lot of Internet, XDA, FB and the like. Actually use my phone for phone calls too.
Gingerbread was so much better for me, but used to it now.
That is with Juice Defender on as well.
I will say if not using the phone much, stand by time is phenomenal! I have gotten 24 hours on ICS, but I barely used the phone.

Hi guys, tomorrow DX arrives to my home, so please, upload your battery screenshot! How long your battery lives?
Don't have screenshot, but with a lot of use, rebooting, flashing roms and backing up, it still survives the whole day, started using my DX from the start of the day with the use I just said, now It's about 65%, so battery life is great

Like MaartenXDA already mentioned even with heavy usage (like screen on for 3,5 hours, see screenshot) you will be able to make it through the day. The batterylife imho is a pro for the DX.

Well lucky me I guess. I turned on my wifi all the time but managed to get the whole day or more.
I never turned off my wifi except if I'm going outside.
Without whatsapp installed, my battery life lasts 2x longer.

Exactly same here. All day WiFi on and every hour or less checking xda etc. Disabling only when going out. From morning to night still about 50% (no gaming ofc) and when outside I listening music

Battery are really good. Even with running ics which is power/performance hungry.
Imagine if des x running jelly bean. Probably double the battery life of running ics

on and off wifi usage, viber, 9gag, few calls and still i got 18% on single charge running for 2days and 4hours. after that it went upto 2days 10hrs at 4% at which i put to charge again.
i m not using any apps to get more battery. my theory is if you keep the ram cleaned with the provided task manager in between, you can get some more. as for display brightness it keep in manual mode, cos when you have to keep the sensor running and the screen suddenly gaining brightness on and off it will take some juice outta of your battery. plus not much of a gamer on mobile.
Something went wrong.
Flashing ROMs, testing mods, testing ROMs, wiping, backup-ing, recovering, 15 minutes in fastboot. A lot of use, WiFi always on.

AW: Post yout battery Screenshot!
battery life is ok but not amazing
standby of this phone is pretty amazing
Must say battery of the DX is quite amazing.
According to the pics i have seen there can be much more squeezed out of the battery.
Running a beta of Elegancia (far from ready) with a tweaked kernel and battery improvement inside the rom...
Charged it before sleep and didn't shut it down, I usualy shut it down to save battery when asleep, pretty good stand by, only lasts 5 hours when using.

My legit and the best battery life so far. Usage: downloaded a lot of games total 400+mb ish, whatsapp a lot, gaming for 1 hour, music for 2 hours, 15 mins browsing the web, I just preferred to browse on my pc anyway, and standby deepsleep for 12 hours.
I'm still impressed.
Oh also I froze all the apps that prevents deepsleep such as google+ and google maps.

my best record
Running UKB I don;t see an improvement.
1hr 20 min @ 88% with 20 min of web browsing. (wifi)
Thats garbage.
Can we list our battery life and settings? for specific roms?
"damn u HTC u ****ed me on battery with tbolt and now the dna is slightly better.
what an insightful thread.
there's already like 3 other battery threads. go in there and read up on peoples settings rather than start your own where you just complain about it, while the rest of us are getting along fine.
DNA slightly better than the tbolt...bwahaha u gotta be on some serious drugs to say that

Slightly better, lol.
I got 2 hours screen in time if I was lucky on my tbolt. On my DNA stock I get 4-5. I can get 6+ if I turn my brightness down and turn sync off.

Not another battery thread. Seriously the battery life is fine.
Try the Optimus 4X HD (similar to optimus G) I have one and that battery life is terrible. Just turning on the screen to take a phone and I loose 3-4 % battery life

Been using this since full charge watching directv, plex, vevo, YouTube and battery seems decent. Still no match with my buddy's Note 2. But acceptable.

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.
I am currently on the trickdroid 5.3.0 ROM on my AT&T HTC One, and I have been using it for the past 4-5 months or so. The battery life has been mediocre at best because I never gotten past 10 hrs of use per charge. I am wondering what is the best 4.3 ROM currently out there that has the best battery life?
Cleanrom 6.0 gets decent battery life.

android revolution hd especially with power saver on it will last me all day even under heavy use. Also make sure you download greenify you can install any rom but if you have all these apps running in the background and wakelocks you're screwed.
