How often do you guys/girls use your Power Saver mode and do you notice better battery life while using it? I often wonder if people with real good battery stats and life are using this TW implemented feature.

I always used it on my galaxy s3, then switched to the note 2 and never felt the need for it. Great feature though, it really does work but slows down your phone.

Never. I like witnessing Project Butter at work.
No need to use it when I'm still getting over 6 hours on screen time in a 2 day span.

Yeah I've never needed it. I get about the same results.

I have used it and it added about a day to my battery. With it on frame rate drops from 58 to the 40's when benchmarking.

Like I said before, project Butter is a treat to watch on Android. I don't want to degrade the experience.

Yep, I Use it and love it!

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
On a good day it'll last me from 11am to around 7 pm maybe later. My old s3 had better battery life actually
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
personally i'd go with s4...i like the DNA more with its premium feel and such but the s4 has unlock and root and a slightly faster device... i'm not sad with the DNA but wish i at least had sense 5..running nova launcher right now...ugh i hate having to use verizon..they are so dumb. wish united states didn't have a duopoly with cable and cell service

It takes at least 2 days for it to learn your habits and how you use your phone.

I dont want to see anyone complaining about battery life. I forgot to screenie the gsam stats but that was with about 2 hrs 25 minutes of screen time. I'm on LKs newest kernel.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
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)
2 things.

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

Hey everyone, I am considering rooting and romming. As I've done with every phone I've had but I want to know what the batter life is like on non sense Roms like paranoid or cm etc.. Sense won't allow screen on time show so if you could post screen shots of that too that would be great. Thanks guys.

I am thinking about getting the T Mobile HTC One, currently I have a Note2. I am wondering how the battery life compares to the Note2. Anyone switch from the Note2 and how's the comparison?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Battery life is terrible compared to the Note. I can still get a decent 10-12 hours but I could easily get twice that on the Note. I'd still prefer this phone over anything out right now, though.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I second this. The LG Optimus G Pro and the Droid Maxx are the only phones in the Note 2's battery class. Everything else sucks comparatively. I get good battery life out of my One though. I can easily get thru a whole day without having to charge it. And if I ever do need to charge it it charges pretty quickly.

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.
