Hi all!
I've been fighting with the baterry drain and low battery performance through many months.
This was everytime with the lastest rom... So I decided to try a GB rom after knowing a guy here in my workplace that lended me a minute his SGS.
He had 18 hours of use and 80% battery left.
So I installed "Mesorom" and discovered thar I can have the screen ON 3 hours, and im discovering now how much time could it manage in standby.
I hope this gives you some advice about battery drain, looks like ICS and JB consume less power when on dual core, and on a single core it just drains too much battery. That is my opinion.
Has anyone got to this conclusion?
Please report your battery stats to compare! i'll do it in a moment.
here they are:

42 minutes of screen on time. gaming, web browsing, and instant messaging.
4 hours is still nothing. Post again if you accomplish those 18 hours and the battery is on just 2% left
rom failed to be stable, i'm trying to install official cm7 now.
BTW i managed to get screen on time of 2 hours, and 15% left of battery. 11-12h total use.
i will report when i know something else.
I use Mackay Rom (4.1.2) combined with a 1800 mAh battery and my phone lasts 2 days (airplane mode at night) with medium usage. Screen time between 3 to 4 hours.
i use CM10 and my battery life isn't too horrible, compared to a dell streak and iphone 3g like 8-10 hours standby time 4-5 hours use
Maybe I've got a little old battery, because on GB or ICS or JB my battery behave similarly. Average I have to charge my phone every second night if I use it normally. Recently I used it a little less and today's result below - 30 min of calls, about 20 min of 3G connection, 2h screen on. I use JB (SlimBean 3.1 with Semaphore 2.6).
Lol cm10 battery is better. Because ui using gpu instead of too much cpu.

I actually bought an I9000 for my GF and loaded up the newest stock rom JW8.
Battery life wasn't too good, so I switched to CM10 stable. It's really good now.
3h screen time in 2 days, or 2h screen time in 3 days. That's enough for a small device like this. I don't think gb has better battery drain than cm10.
The case is a little different on my n7100, where I get around 7-8 hours screen time on stock 4.1.2 and only 5 hours on cm10.
Cm10 has great battery live
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Yeah battery on CM10 seems to be pretty good. I get about two days usage out of my battery with Ondemand + Smooth UI.
CM10 has a very good battery life, its only a little bit worse than a stock rom.:thumbup:

I diconnected my phone from the charger, and it was at 100% at 830 this morning and now at 1130 it is at 56%/. This is after probably abotu 1-1.5 hours of browsing the web on my phone and configuring widgets.
I was wondering if that is normal battery drain? I have been flashing my phone quite a bit lately and it seems that the battery life is not that great. I have already recalibrated my battery as well.
Also my phone is overclocked to 1.3ghz.
You might want a second opinion but I'm going to say yes
If there is evil in this world it lurks in the hearts of man.
1130 AM? If so that is not good at all.
Not good at all, I am running Pinnacle 1.2 for 29. 5 hours since last charge and I have 29% remaining, that includes roughly 3 hours display on time and just shy of 1 hour phone calls.
Very happy with Pinnacle 1.2

Yeah 11:30 AM. Perhaps I should look into flashing another rom, although I have been very happy with Apex 9.2 except with this battery issue.

If you're on Apex, try going without the overclock and switching to the DarkCore kernel. That might help your battery life a little bit.
Did the phone feel hot?
What kind of sites were you hitting? White background? Lot's of Flash?
You've got three things that I see hitting your battery hard - the data transfers, the screen and the CPU usage. Depending on how your overclock is set up, I'd guess it's causing your CPU to use at least 30% more juice.
I can get days of idle time, but only hours of heavy use out of my battery. There are certain web sites and games that seem to suck the battery dry.

Sounds like you have an app running wild.
Well when my phone is on standby, I find that it drains at a reasonable rate. It is just when I use my phone that it drains fairly quickly.
You're doing it wrong.

Plus you need to caliberate your battery
Can't figure it out.
To: miztaken1312
I've tried different settings on my phone and have not been able to get your kind of battery life.
I recently flashed MosaicVI and using the JV6 modem. After using this modem I have been getting better results but not quite as good as your.
What I'm trying to find out is there any certain setting you have your phone in, i.e. only on WiFI, Auto Display, sound, Disabling Your data when not using it? I would really love to get this kind of results. I'm sure everyone else would to.
Oh, I've also cycled my phone battery 3 times everytime I flash a different ROM. Please school me up on how to get those results.
P.S. I tried to quote you and reply but me being new to posting comments did not let me.
Go to market and download "Data switch". You will see marked improvement to your battery life.
So is that the secret? "Data switch".
All it does is turn off data usage so your cappy is not using data for all the background services (synch and such). Its what I use when I want the battery to last and don't need a data connection.
How long does your stock or extended battery last?
Please indicate your ROM , kernel, CPU settings and voltage and if it is stock or extended battery..
How long does it take to fully charge your battery and is it really necessary to fully charge the battery?
Coz i read some article at google that never to fully charge and discharged o2x or g2x battery..
Thanks!
ROM: Android Revolution 1.9.1
Kernel: vadonka's CM7 Kang kernel [FEB17] ETaNa-REV1
Hi, i have a stock battery and lasts me anywhere from 10hrs to about 27hrs depending on usage, i usually let my battery run down to about 20% then fully charge because i too have also read somewhere that these batteries dont respond well to fully discharging, i must admit my battery life has increased since i stopped fully discharging, not sure of the reasons for why that would make a difference.
so far, my battery lasts 4-10hrs on daily use (music, some 3G, some 2G, texting) which depresses me a little (got my phone sth like 3 days ago, cant get my hands off it yet. )
im on a rebuild of stock v20l and guestekrnl v1.1. stock battery.
indeed you shouldnt completely discharge li-ion-batterys, but you can and should charge them to 100%. its also recommended to completely discharge the battery every 4-8 weeks, leave it like that for 5-6 hours and then fully charge it.
ROM: Temasek KANG 67
Kernel: ETaNa Kernel 22. Feb. I use the recommended setCPU Profiles from Vadonka with the predefined UV Voltages from the tweakaio.conf
Battery: Stock
Battery lasts from 14h to 2,5 days depending on usage. In normal usage (phoning, some SMS, little bit surfing, listen music) it lasts 20h to 1,5 days. Normaly i am on 2g, only aktivate 3g when needed.
This app may help:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530
About charging i recommend to read this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871051
Around 5 to 6 hours. I have 3 batteries though.
I use my phone a lot.

Hi langhaardack, I have no idea where you learned this was a good idea. But as you stated, completely discharging lithium ion batteries is VERY bad, and causes small but irreversible damage. Lithium ion batteries should be kept above 20% when ever possible. Ultimately, any damage caused by the user is moot because we ANDROID users can replace the battery for a few Pounds, Euros, or rupees, depending on your local currency.
In fact, a few weeks ago I bought an extended battery, 2400mAh for £13. It does make the slender O2X a bit fatter, but you can "cane" that sucker for 20+ hours of über heavy use. Normal usage will get you 48 hours without breaking a sweat.
I hope this is helpful. Back to the topic.
ROM ICS, stock kernel, with the display used for 2 hours, I get 8-10 hours on the stock battery.
Have fun. Anil

Kernel: nothing changed, I've tried Setirons ICS Kernel, but together with Nova HD Rom my battery is out of juice maybe after half of the time as if I use NovaHD kernel.

Besides the ROM and kernel which affect the battery, the battery life in a day will be depending on which apps you have installed on your device, and how is your usage on the device.

Nop! haven't checked it yet.
last for 5 hours is not acceptable. all smartphone should last a day at least.
5 hours of screen on time is great.
battery depends on how u use your phone mate. it doesnt matter what rom u use.. how u use it affects the battery the most
display which is amoled consume lots of power. lower brighness prolong the battery life.
data service use lots of battery. wifi is a lot less.. use wifi when available..
standby of note is very very good especially when the phone goes to sleep. which is the main reason .. install CPU Spy from the market and check the deep sleep

Most leaked LS7 JB Roms are similar, the only difference is applications devs put in them. I usually check which applications use the battery mostly. I would recomend uninstall some system applications those stay resident in the memory they also play some role on battery consumption as well. We all have different phone usage habbits and it is impossible to make accurate commend on how long our batteries last. Note II has incredible battery life bacuse of the bigger battery it has and 2 GB memory. İnstalling JB on Note 1 is actually forcing this machine for heavier load. If you really like to use Samsung apps TW rom is must but AOKP roms are not bad withous TW features. I know many people are happy with them, however their experince with battery is not much better than TW users at all.
Again, battery issue has lots of aspects and one should watch his own experience. Also there is a good tread about battery on this forum. Please check I found it very informative.

Just got the phone today and have not had a chance to calibrate the battery but the battery life so far is horrible compared to the original S4.
Anyone else experiencing bad battery life on this phone?
I'm the opposite. I had the S4 for a week and a half and traded it for the Active a couple of days ago. My battery life has been better than the original. I've got this phone set up the same as I did the s4 too. It probably just varies on what apps you have installed.

I traded my Active for the regular S4, the aqua looked good on the website but disgusting in real live. I'm getting much better life with the S4 running the 9505 firmware and some of the Samsung features turned off.
These are just a few shots of my battery life. This is standard and sometimes it is a lot better:

The battery life on my Active is far better than any other phone I've owned. I got 5 1/2 hours screen time yesterday with over 16 hours uptime. Still had 15% left when I replaced the battery this morning. Never seen anything like that before.

I had the S4 for a few days and I was worried because my battery would be drained in less than 8 hours. Coming from an S2 that I had to baby to get through the day I was worried. Ever since I exchanged the S4 for the Active I don't really worry about playing games, even for a couple hours, because it easily gets me through the day.
Disable the only big battery drain I had was maps constantly updating my location. I disabled that and run on power saver. I woke up at 6am this morning and its 7:30 now, I still have 59% left. I used to average 22 hours on my old captivate so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I realize that having a phone that out performs most PC's is going to munch some milliamps.
I'm rooted, debloated, and try to avoid constantly updating apps. I use better battery stats to "tune" my usage too.

I had the phone for a week, and after a few days my battery was draining like crazy (lost 90% overnight with everything off).
I went to the store and got a new battery...so far it's been amazing. I think my back cover may not have been 100% locked in to be honest, not sure if that would affect it or not.
I used to get between 4-5 hours on screen time. Stand by time doesn't mean much. I have noticed that the display is brighter so that could do it.
I also tried the battery from my S4 and same results.
My original battery is on charger. I am going to charge to full and completely drain it and check on screen time and report it.
After I recalibrated the battery it is looking great now. 1 hour on screen time only used 10% battery.
I will keep you posted.
The battery on my active is much better than on my regular s4. The standby time is actually good. My regular s4 always loses about 15% an hour in standby with nothing running.

Hey,
It's been 2 weeks since I got my Black 32Gig Nexus 5, I was a little bit afraid about the battery backup of N5 from reviews, every reviewer pointed out that N5 battery is downright bad but after getting my device I found out that N5 battery is NOT that bad but actually offers good backup :fingers-crossed: , the funny thing is when I charged first time and used my N5 it went down after just 5 hours with SOT of 2 hours !! but what makes me wonder is that after my first charging backup starts to increase !! I don't know why is this happening but battery backup actually increased noticeably day after day, I just don't know how this is happening may be battery is taking time to set up, I know first days we use our device with everything turned on thereby draining battery more than after getting used to but I can confirm that's not the case, backup is actually increasing. I have attached images of my current backup+settings.
Battery Status
Total time on battery : 20 Hours
Screen on time : 5 hours
Settings
Not Rooted.
Brightness: 20%(Approx.), Auto was too bright.
Location : On all the time with Battery saving mode.
WIFI: On all the time
Data: On all the time(HSPDA)
Bluetooth/NFC: Off all the time(I didn't had a chance to use it)
Google Now/ Location reporting : On
Vibration on typing(Key touch): Off (prolly most don't care about this but a big battery drainer)
Usage
30 mins of phone call
30-40 mins of web browsing with Chrome
30 mins of gaming (Temple run and NFS)
20 mins of music
Couple of photos taken
Couple of apps downloaded with playstore etc
I know battery is NOT a pro side of N5 but 20 hours is all I expect from a quad core smartphone !! also backup is really not a dealbreaker for Nexus 5.
My humble small review
Cons (That would go first)
Speaker - This is the biggest problem and a "can be deal breaker" con of N5, I never expected BOOMSOUND from this phone but current ouput is downright bad.
Camera App - Sucks big time, lot of time to focus etc but don't take me wrong image quality is NICE.
A bigger battery would have been better (Not saying current backup is bad)
Button rattling, negligible but shows production carelessness.
IR Blaster would have been nice, It's kinda asking a lot for $350 device it would have been a bigger plus since Kitkat is natively supporting it.
Pros
Everything else than cons about the phone are huge pros :angel:

20 hours of battery life is amazing
Is battery backup the same thing as battery life?

While I haven't seen any crazy battery life from this phone I have been getting 4½ hours screen time with 20+ hours on a charge consistently. After I figured after that touch sounds were causing a bad wakelock I was having the first couple days.
So I'm perfectly happy with battery life, its an improvement over my G'Nex and that's on LTE the entire time.

So you're saying touch sounds can be a huge battery drain?
Wow never thought that the N5 can achieve 5 hours SOT!
I have a very similar phone usage, so this is a great post, thank you!
