Check your wake locks bro, i usually get 5:30h SOT on my Nexus 5.. G2 has 3K mAh and it should definitely last longer, install better battery stats and see who's eating your battery

Do you think mahadi rom with latest Furnace kernel would be a good setup? And or best stock rom setup is

Something is wrong with your phone. Here are a few battery stats from today. Not limiting anything. Everything set to sync, display at 80% brightness.

I wanted a N5 But 30$ with an upgrade through amazon and 0.01 penny with an upgrade which was a no brainer but the problem i have with mahdi rom is the Headphone problem even at 0% volume its still all the way in volume if that makes any sense only thing holding me back

I'm using milestone on my ls980. Mine varies between 3 hrs and 5 hrs screen on, on any ROM. 15 and 20 hrs on battery. I think you need to check wake locks and or Clean flash.

May sound like a noob question but what are wake locks? I think I have a pretty good idea but I wasn't too be sure I just Flashed Mahdi ROM so I'll see if anything changes I'll post picks at 10-15% (if I remember)

I would flash one of @Cloudyfa roms. thaats if you want to stick a lg based rom if not then go with CM or Mahdi rom. they will give you awesome battery. I got 30 hours with CM but it was the stable 4.3 release ill charge my phone every day and a half. it was amazing..

Mean Rom ICS vs. Viper Redline ICS

I'm trying to figure it out which ICS rom to flash based on battery life and I've narrowed it down to Mean Rom ICS and Viper Redline ICS, and I was wondering if anyone would mind posting pics of the battery times.
MEAN ICS v2.0
I'm currently running MR ICS 2.0 and I'm getting pretty decent batter life. I'll have a screen shot in the morning as I haven't actually measured so I'll do an overnight test and have the screenshot up in the AM. I haven't tried the ViperROm though.
I use MR also. Pretty decient useage and i get a solid 15 hours out of it. I tried Vipers ICS in the beginning and was getting about the same. Im not sure what he has changed since the first release. I would post a pic but i just switched back to a gingerbread Rom. ICS to me has some bugs and GB i was getting better battery life and faster performance.
Hope this helps
Any one have pictures ?

I went from Viper to MeanRom and never looked back. Even using Viper's CPU Control I still don't get the battery life that I do from Mean. Not to mention Mikey is focused on one sole device and Viperboy's attention is divided by at least two (3D and 4GLTE) maybe more I don't go to all the forums. Also, I use gps a lot my phone (Hardware Ver 2) runs a lot cooler with Mean then Viper when using the gps for hours upon hours. I've even used it for a 14 hour singe day drive once the screen was never off (I did use a car charger of course lol)
MeanROM.
Thanks!
Thanks Everyone! I decided to flash Mean Rom!

How in the world do you get that type of battery life. I've been running Mean rom for 2 days now with almost all settings i could do to save battery, but i still get about 10 hours on it.
airplane mode maybe =P. really ive been running meanrom and cant get that type of battery life..

Or it could be what he has on his Screen. For Example he could have an alternative Launcher with one homescreen and a clock widget. And also i heard that if you use a regular black wallpaper it could save you quite amount of power. So maybe could throw in a Black Wallpaper in there.

Battery life for stock ROM

Hey everyone, I have one question here. As soon as I purchased my Galaxy Tab I started flashing custom ROMs and actually don't know nothing about stocks battery life and can't compare. So can you tell me how long your battery last in stock ROM ir normal usage? On wifi, 3g, gps on and off.
I did the same but I don't think it's any better in stock.. Mine does 3.5/4 days with 8 hours screen with cm9

No, I don't think that stock will last better. I just want to know what is normal for this device and know if battery starts leaking.

I am using the stock ICS ch, after turning off "downloadagent & facebook app" my battery life has doubled.
I'm using the XSX Kernel with the MIUI ROM I'm getting much more than I used to on the ICS. I'm still new to the all these CPU governors and stuff. But yeah an improvement is what I'm seeing and I'm finally satisfied with the device.
Kernel :XSX v3.3
ROM MIUI 2. 27 or something [the newest]
Governor: Smartassv2
Do try it
I'm using MIUI ROM with advanced stock kernel and I can tell you my battery life is much greater than ICS.

yesterdat i checked its still 100% , and now after 17 hrs with minor playing and phone calls only, i still got 77%, huge battery drain for me is while im on playing, but @ normal usage i only got minor battery drain. im liking this right now

Hey all, curious about ROM/Stock battery life.

Hey all!
So I just picked up my Droid DNA a few days ago after trading up via manager approval from a Droid Razr M. Loved the Razr M but the screen was literally killing my eyes; couldn't read it from a rule length away... Anyway, I just wanted to get some input on peoples experiences battery life wise between stock sense 4+ and a stock ROM. I've always been a stock kind of person, but I've noticed with all the great upgrades that came along with my upgrade from the Razr M to the DNA that I've lost quite a bit of on screen time. Any input would be awesome. Thanks!!!
-Matt :laugh: :good:
Just slap a kernel with wakelock fixes on this bad boy and you'll get great bettery life. And maybe viperDNA(its an amazing Rom)
With light usage you can get 2 days on the battery, and with heavy usage you can get this.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Consider a kernel...it'll fix some really serious problems...there are also roms that look like stock... battery life on stock isn't as good right now cause of wakelock. you can look up reviews and they'll tell you you will get through a day on light usage on stock. If you plan on using it more then you should consider flashing.

This is on LTE the whole time.
When I was on stock ROM and kernel I easily got a whole day with light to medium usage.
I'm definitely able to get through the day with light use, that's not a problem. I'm more so interested in fixing the stock kernel wakelock problem that is depleting my battery when the phone is just chilling with the screen off. Out of curiosity when installing a kernel, do you have to manually set anything (I ask since the newest version of the LK kernel has the ability to over/under clock the phone, stuff I'm not really interested in messing with), or do you just have to flash and forget about it, so to speak? Thanks!

As most everyone here has already said, but I'll throw in my own experience...
Stock ROM and Stock KERNEL both have pretty good battery life. In my personal situation, I was getting from 7am to about 6pm every weekday before battery dead. My usage is heavy email, txt and voice. Moderate internet browsing. Very little music or video streaming.
With a simple flash of LK's Kernel, I'm now getting through an entire 24hr cycle on a single charge.
Thats a pretty significant improvement in battery life
Alright, I'm hooked. Going to go through the process and flash later on tonight or perhaps tomorrow when I have more time. Any suggestions on which version of LK kernel I should flash if I'm mostly interested in just stability and battery life, 0.9.3 or 0.9.4? Thanks!
-Matt
.9.4, which is the most current version.
Well it took awhile to figure it all out, but I finally got my phone unlocked/rooted and updated to 0.9.4 LK kernel. Looking forward to seeing how the battery life changes . Thanks for the input everyone ^_^!

Nova prime is a stupid fast launcher. Though you dont need the LK kernal to use it, at least that is what I gathered from your post. I literally have no lag because i made the animations very light.

Pardon my terrible grammar. I meant I'm trying out the LK kernel. Nova looks really nice but I have an OCD like problem knowing I have 2 launchers installed haha.
Something is up with the latest LK. I am along with a few others are having issues with wakelock. Idk if its an issue with the kernel itself or what but its causing terrible battery life.

Battery life on ROMs is a tough variable. Having hung around these forums for a really long time I can tell you that you will see huge swings in reeactions to battery life, often on the same ROM. There are so many things that can influence battery life that it really is a YMMV thing. you might be able to get some general trends from reading ROM threads, but there is no such thing as "gospel truth". some genral thoughts
1. Push email and facebook chew through battery
2. The accepted consensus is that battery saver prgrams like juice defender can eat as much battery ormore than they save but if you have a specific use case they may work.
3. you can spend your whole day chasing wakelocks...
All ROMs generally have about the same battery life. Battery is all about how you use your phone and how you manage what is running in the background.

Obviously everyone's mileage will vary, but of every ROM I've tried I've seen the best battery out of the Sentinel sense based ROM over in the international one development section. Yes it and basically every other ROM over there is compatible with the att variant

I have tried Sense 5.0, the Google Play Edition ROM and two CM nightly, the most recent one being July 5.
Both the GE and CM handily beat the stock Sense ROM in battery life (at least that was my perception).
CM 10.1 seemed to be a bit better than the Google Edition ROM (it also seems to be significantly more efficient in its use of resources which translates into better battery life), but there are still some issues with CM...NFC, Bluetooth, no Beats Audio Drivers, and I like the new Jelly Bean Camera App better so I am sticking with the GE ROM for the time being.
I love CM though and will probably go back to it once everything gets ironed out...
OK so I too have been questioning battery life. CM 11 did... OK. My previous phone was the Moto G, and comparatively my One has been doing terrible on battery life! I'm currently on Pacrom, tried PA and a couple similar as well, getting 9 hr battery life, 2 hr on (like what the f***!) according to GSam. I'm thinking about stock gpe and playing with kernels? Thoughts? Testing has been taking a while as I try to give every rom kernel combo 3 days at least, a week preferred.

A some what general consensus of Battery life for the One:
Sense > Google Edition > AOSP
In my opinion the best battery life will come from a fairly close to stock sense Rom such as MaximusHD with poondog's Kangaroo Kernel.
