How's the battery life with RIL enabled? Significant improvement, or still pretty crappy?
I heard someone awhile ago say they couldn't get through Avatar on a full charge. Is this still the case, even with tweaks?
I'm considering picking up the S7 as my main unit (ditching my OG Droid at last), and I need to know if it's even feasible. I would love to do this, but if I can't get through a day I can't do it. Here are things I'm thinking of doing:
-DJ_Steve's ROM with RIL enabled
-Juice Defender to set my 2G/3G/4G settings; 4G for internet/calls, 3G/2G for notifications/idle/gaming/etc. (depending on which is lower battery consumption).
What kind of battery life can I expect? I still have to get out of my VZW contract (ought to be this month), so I'm still researching what the best solution will be for me. I really want a 4G, dual core, 7" tablet. I've used the Streak 7 at the T-Mo store and I love it (screen is great, unit was very snappy; 4G seemed a bit slow, but it was during peak hours).
So, anyone test their battery life and see any improvements over stock?
Haven't tried any wifi calling on my ds7. Using stock 2.2.2 and I can get about 3-4 hours of playback using rockplayer before battery dies. Doubt you'd make it through the day. It seems to drain some battery even on standby.

Well, I couldn't get out of my Verizon contract and I didn't really get an answer to my question, so I really had only one choice.
I got a Streak 7 this last weekend. Logic be damned!
Loving this thing, so far. I got it rooted/Rom'd (thanks to all that worked on that!). Battery conservation while maintaining data connectivity is a big issue for me, so I'll be tweaking a few things and seeing how it goes. I'll report whatever I find out.
So, ril-off will disable all mobile data (thanks, Hellzya!). That's not an option, as this is now my main device. For anyone else in my boat, here are a couple of things that might work:
This app is basically a shortcut to your network system settings. Seems to work fine; I'm using it to toggle to 2G when I'm not using the device (but still want to get notifications), and then 3G/4G when I am. The S7 switches between HSPA and GSM a lot when I'm at my house due to me being on the fringe of a 4G tower; I'll see if this fixes that issue and report back.
This thread has another app that will automatically switch to 2G when the screen is off. I have yet to try it, but I'll update once I do.
Long live the battery!
Update: From what I'm reading, the HSPA antenna uses less juice than the EDGE one, so I've been setting it to HSPA only. Underclocked as much as possible when the screen is off (216, I believe), and overclocked to 1200 (lower Quadrant, of course, but I don't notice a performance degradation).
I had it off the charger all day, yesterday, and then tethered my Cr48 to it for quite some time. I was off the charger at ~7AM, started tethering at ~9PM. I had maybe 20-30% battery at that time. I hadn't used it much that day; just some light internet usage, ~15 minutes of streaming Pandora (high quality setting), one VOIP call, and a few, benchmark tests. After about 30-60 minutes of tethering, the battery was in the red so I hooked it up to the charger and continued to tether.
So far, so good. The battery is livable, but by no means great. This wasn't a really big usage day, though, but at least the idle isn't eating up too much juice. I'll have to see what kind of heavy usage I can get out of it (tethering, video streaming, etc.).
Hoping, of course, that HC gives us back some precious battery life.
Could some1 tell me if it is adviseable to use this app? Does it make a difference to the battery life?

I tryed it for a week, but couldn't realy se that it made a difference to the battery consumption.
The best thing - and i know it may sound a bit silly - was actually to "paly" with the features and controls.
But was it worth to pay for, i would have to say no.
wrong, if you're using the preset..yes it will make slight difference...
i used the advanced mode, and customized/configured it to my behaviour of using my phone
my phone will goes into super sleep mode at night - flight mode
combined with setCPU on non peak time (12AM-8AM) - 200mhz
my battery can last for 1 week without charging...
if it not doing its job, then you're using it wrong...
its like how you use your computer...does it improve your productivity?if you're using it wrong, then most likely it will not improve your productivity.
its just a tool, its how you used it that matters.
I did use the advanced mode and tryed several settings, but i didn't make much diffrence.
Perhaps my user habits just don't fit to the app ;-)
I guess ill have to try it myself ^_^

I have used JD for over 2 months now and it has definitely helped preserve juice when the phone is idle. As much as 1.7 times in daytime on working days. It basically saves me the headache of closing or killing any data hungry applications/Widgets by shutting down all data after I lock the phone.
However if you are using the phone all the time which I end up doing on weekends, then it will not be of much use. It increases juice by just 1.2 times which is meaningless.

Does anyone know how to make it turn on to refresh widgets?
You can set up a schedule where, for example, it will turn on data for 60 seconds every 15 minutes to allow Widgets etc to sync or update. Also learns where your wifi networks are and turns wifi on/off based on location. Works very well once it learns your networks.
I use the latest beta which also allows you to customize the automatic brightness setting so that it actually does what it's supposed to.
Well worth the money I think.

My experience after one week using it:
Preserves battery by factor 1.4 to 1.7.
So I think it is working and worth the money if you need the extra battery life.
As I'm charging it every night or if I have enough power left the next morning at work I have disabled it as long as my next outdoor trip will start. THEN I will really need the extra power.

It does cause a lot of slowdown sometimes and often doesn't autorun but it is increasing my battery life a lot.
Factor 2.2 for me. Super app.
so that 2.2 for you how many hours usage on a single charge do you get?
Android Revolution HD dosen't need this app
It works good on motorola bravo. :-D
I didn't notice a huge difference...
Using cm7 I've found I get a great battery life.
I also use llama which can set profiles based on location which saves...like turning data off when at work etc

More juice you save = You limit your phone functionality/experience more
I got a car phone charger to solve my battery life issue
mixed reviews from this app was really wondering if this really works..
I agree that it limits your experience if you use it. Part of the fun of having a smartphone is getting updates. If all you care about is text messages, then you'll be fine with this app. If you are getting push updates you'll most likely encounter problems.

I tried it for 1 month, didn't find it feasible enough, plus it slows down everytime I turn on my phone (when it establishes wifi/3G connection).
I didn't find a huge difference when I used it on ARHD 1.1.1
To each his own I suppose.
I have a problem with cell standby killing my battery. Its the single highest.used thing that is draining my battery (its over 30% and only other thing in that ballpark is the display) . The only mods I have added to stock is droidjunks power toggles. It seems like every time I change something on the bar up top with this phone, my cell standby becomes a serious battery killer.
Is there any reason for or solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

are you between 3g 4g wifi i know when i toggle between wifi 4/3g it uses a lot of consumption just scaning for newworks etc.. and you might have power saver enabled so as soon as you turn your "off" it disables data and then you turn it back on it enables it sometimes it more harm than good... sorry i can't help more..
Download juice defender from the market and play with that a little... Auto toggles data when you want it too (screen off, etc.) Makes my battery last at least 50% longer.
I'm not messing with juice defender. I don't like apps that shut off data as a power.saving method.
My problem isn't typical as I've seen other users screenshots showing what is draining their battery and it's never over 30%. I didn't have the issue until I messed with the notification bar. Just curious to exactly what caused the issue and if anything can be done about it. I don't keep wifi, Bluetooth, or GPS on unless I am currently using it.

Sorry but juice defender doesn't work for me. I use too much data and too frequently to have it being shut off on me. I have professional email accounts that sync every 15 minutes. That's not the cause of the issue as I've been doing that far longer than I've had the issue.

Yes. I'm going to try turning off 4g and see if that helps. That could be the problem because I just got 4g at my house a month ago.
Im more curious to exactly what happens in cell standby that would cause battery drain?

Cell standby is actually all of the power used by the cell radio, if I am reading this right.

Just so you know Juice Defender has a setting which will turn your data on at an interval set by you and for a time set by you to sync even with screen off.
It's not like it just cuts the data because it feels like it. Juice defender works perfectly for me and has been one of the best apps I have purchased.
But to me it seems to most likely be that your 4g is on ALL the time.
With 1d 11h 6m 45s on battery, I get 9% for Cell standby, hell Facebook almost uses more battery than it (this is also a 3G only area).
i think radio is consuming the power.

I do know that, but I can't control when my email comes and need to receive it as soon as possible. For this reason, I can't have data even being shut off in predefined intervals.
I've currently turned off 4g to see if things improve. Unless your streaming videos or downloading larger files, 4g doesn't seem necessary for the majority of things.

Juice defender also has a whitelist feature so you can pick what apps will always have a data connection. So if your email account syncs every 15 mins then it will continue without interruption.
I've found that the cell standby happens when I'm in a fringe or low coverage area

Lately I'm having the same problem. standby accounts for 41% of my battery drain. I'm draining at about 10% / hr with very light usage. Smoke let's stay in touch!

Your email is already being checked at a set interval (default 15min)... unless you have changed it.
So yes this Phone's battery unfortuanatly is not well at all.. but here is how i managed mine to last a day without charging. Let me also say im a heavy user also. I text A LOT and always pull out my phone in class play a few games to pass the time or just browse my phone. So this does work for heavy / light users.
Go to Wifi/ menu / advanced and click never on Keep wifi on during sleep.
Go to settings/ Location access - Switch to off
For your brightness it will be on Auto switch that off and put it almost to the lowest as you dont really need it high just kills the battery.
- Go to the App store and download Easy Battery savor. When you access the app choose intiligent mode. It really helps !
-Dont ever use live wallpaper it just drains it so fast.
- DOwnload Faux App It really helps (Faux kernel Enhancement Project) Once downloaded go to CPU and set max clock to 1.35 instead of 1.5. it will still be buttery smooth and it will drain the battery less.
Also I am using the Franco Kernel - nightly #53 which in my opinion really helps !
- Try to turn off the WiFi usage as much as possible and you will see a huge difference.
That's all from me guys. By doing all this my battery significantly improved and lasts about a day now.
Anyways if you have better solutionson how you manage your battery and how you extend its life.
- post pictures
- post the apps you use
- post everything !
Thank you !
I use harsh. Whenever I don't game, I lower the max freq to just 810mhz, ondemand, row, mpdecision on (as harsh recommended) and it's still buttery smooth, and of course battery life is incredible, and I also do check the Disable HW Overlays and Force GPU in 2d rendering. And since no kernel controlling apps are needed, my phone feels cleaner too I can't upload battery stats yet as I'm in an area with only edge connectiom and I hate using slow internet connections

A couple of things I noticed with this. The first thing I notice is, in two of your screenshots, you appear to have mobile data disabled completely. The second thing I noticed is that your final screenshot shows 24hr 52 min on battery, yet according to your clock, a it should really be a total of 33hr 6 min since unplugged. Your first screenshot shows 88% battery remaining with it already having been unplugged for 7hr 35 min. With that screenshot showing a time of 3:11pm, that would mean your phone was unplugged at 7:36am. If the phone was unplugged at 7:36am, then how is it only showing a total of 24hr 52min at 4:42pm the next day? It should be showing 33hr 6min. That's an odd inconsistency there. All in all, even with the data that is showed in your screenshot, it shows very little use as phone idle and cell standby are both in your top 5. Your screen was your highest drain, yet there isn't anything else there accompanying it. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that all you did was keep the data turned off on your phone, and connect to wifi where available. You turned your screen on, but didn't really do anything with the phone besides having the screen just on. That said, even stock with no changes, a person can get 24 hours on a charge if they're disabling their phone and not using it.
Interesting tips however I have a few points:
Your first tip suggests having WiFi to Never stay connected during sleep. I am part of another Android forum which deals with tablets. We tested this feature as with a tablet, you are likely to leave it for hours on end before using it again. It was excellent if the tablet was not touched, however we noticed that it significantly increased the battery drain if you were regularly switching between sleep and using it.
Agree with the second but don't throw away practicality, use Location settings when they need to be use, not just turn them off and don't use them.
Leave it on auto-brightness dude, why ruin the nice visuals of a fantastic screen by having it so dark you can't see it? I only ever use lowest brightness when its dark or the battery is nearly dead.
No idea about the battery saver.
I definitely disagree with this. If you use 3G permanently, like I do, then turning on WiFi definitely reduces battery drain. I don't turn off data ever, so switching WiFi where possible is quite a useful battery saving technique.

His solution is to turn off connectivity and functionality on the phone. That defeats the purpose of even having the phone at all.
That said, I think a safe UC of maybe 200MHz can have a difference, but to me, it's all about enjoying the phone and the phone experience. No need to screw with it
Don't do the wifi feature. It will use more battery because it will constantly have to reconnect to the wifi connection every time your phone comes out of sleep mode and that will consume more battery.

Same thing here..but I use scripts When I'm in school and all I need my phone for is some tethering and music, I activate my script that sets the max freq to just 810mhz and I undervolt an extra -50mv from the stock undervoltages of harsh, but when I'm out and away, I enjoy the full 1.5ghz quadcore beast trapped inside my pocket

Don't get me wrong, it's useful to have a decent battery life, but I really don't see the need to turn the device into an expensive brick. My suggestions, which may or may not be better than the ones in the OP, but they seem to work for me on every Android I've come across without screwing with undervolting etc:
1. Turn Auto-Sync off, or increase the duration between each sync. On my old phone, the phone would use Auto-Sync every hour or so which totally killed the battery over the course of day. I turned it off and would sync it manually (taking all of 15 seconds) on a Friday. Made a huge difference, although simply increasing the time between syncs is just as effective if not more so as you still save a bit of time (might opt for that myself :good
2. Use Inverted Apps on SAMOLED, Don't use Inverted Apps on IPS, white colour uses more battery on SAMOLED, but a lot less on IPS :fingers-crossed:
3. Get yourself a Toggle-based Notification bar, you will remember to switch off your WiFi when walking around in public. To that end, switch your WiFi off unless you are connected to a hotspot, the constant scanning will drain your battery and depending on the interval may take quite a large hit over the course of a day. If you rely on WiFi then maybe increase the scan interval time.
4. Turn off all mobile networking services when in a known signal blackspot. e.g. When work pays for us to go to a hotel on the Welsh border in Cheshire, there is absolutely no signal guaranteed unless you go to the end of the driveway, so I turn off all phone services unless I am there. Your phone will drink your battery very quickly otherwise, guaranteed. The easy solution is to use WhatsApp, switch your phone onto Airplane mode then turn on WiFi and connect to a hotspot (if they have one available, hotels usually do). This is surprisingly low on battery consumption.
So basically, just leave my phone in my pocket and not use it. Okay. Gotcha.

My battery life is amazing. I guess it just depends on what you compare it to. I had an evo 3d before, and my 3d would be dead by noon without even turning on the screen. My work blackberry lasts 5 days with fairly heavy email usage.
My N4 though, I use it fairly often for browsing, occasional calls throughout the day, streaming audio, this and that. After 12 hours of use I am still at 60% usually. From 7am to 5:30 (typically when i get out of work) I will be at 70%+
Not sure why people are so bent out of shape about it...
On my 3d if I ran facebook app or any stupid **** like that it would kill my battery like i didnt even have one.
Here's another idea get a job or pay attention in school. That will save battery life as well. I have literally seen people stare at a screen without doing anything with the phone, just because they are so obsessed with it being in their hand

So I know there's a thread in the general forum for the Edge (all versions) but I figured with so many different variants, some have 4g, some don't etc., we could round up people's battery life on the Verizon version of the phone. I am running Clean Rom and these are the best stats I've had... greenify non essential apps, no gps unless i need it, wifi probably half the day, screen auto brightness, bluetooth always on connected to a moto 360. IDK how some people get 6, 7, or 8 hours of SOT but I have only gotten to 4 once... since running Clean Rom is seems to gradually getting better.. before Clean Rom I was struggling to get 3/3.5...

I wanna know too
I put my phone on the charger last night when it was at 80% after being on battery for 12 hours!
Right now I'm down to 92% after 2 hours, but 30 minutes of that was Waze screen on and I'm in a terrible service area.
I've found that the stock power saving mode is very powerful, I just can't stand the framerate drop. I'm sure the battery savings would be fine if they could change the framerate back to normal. Speaking of which, is there any possible way to edit a configuration to change only the framerate for power savings mode?
Mine sleeps like a champ. I had about 20 hours off charger yesterday with a little over 2 hours SOT and was at about 47%. I was pretty surprised by that to be honest.

That matches my experience. If I'm in a strong signal area, battery life is very good. In a weak signal area, battery life isn't as good. Still, with quick charging, I've never actually had to worry about the battery.
my battery life was never good, i barely get through the day.

2.PASSPORT
(This setting enables the phone to look for passport enabled wifi hotspots so it "searches" for them all the time when you're out and about) its ?Turn it off.
3.ALWAYS ALLOW SCANNING
(Need I text more)
Its ?Turn it off.
FINALLY PLEASE GO TO
SETTINGS /APPLICATIONS /APPLICATION MANAGER and click on amazon suite disabling this keeps the phone from constantly contacting amazon. Please Just use amazon through your web browser.
Finally/
Click on ANT SERVICES and disable ! It's ?and makes your Verizon phone look for wifi
ALL THE TIME (when phone has poor signal from cell tower)
ANT+ Plug-in services. It's ?too lol!
Oh always use auto brightness.
I have had this s6 edge + set up this way for 2 months with no drawbacks or loss of functionality and it has literally added 2x the battery life.
There's one other thing that's up to you is the advanced calling feature. This enables HD voice and Data use while on a phone call. It does use more battery but is up to you whether or not you need that capability.

Thank you dude!! I did just the items above in bold and it has helped immensely. Here it is 11:50PM and it just started beeping low battery about 10 minutes ago.
I was lucky to make it to 6:30 PM before.
So I downloaded an app Called Google Connectivity Services.
Strangely this seems to put my radio to sleep, which it was not doing before.
Can anyone confirm this?
I've been running cleanROM for quite some time now and it seems that my battery is getting worse and worse. I'm lucky if I can get 8 hours out of my phone with not a lot of use. For example I'm down to 82% battery and I've been off charge for 37 minutes. That is absurd amount of drain. The biggest offender always seems to be cell standby. I've tried the enabling advanced calling but it doesn't seem to have helped. Looking at trying a different rom or maybe just doing a wipe and reinstall of cleanRom. Anyone have any suggestions?

I was up and thought i could publish this to you All buying an s6. This season.
SEVERAL tips to saving battery life on the s6 edge.
1. Enable power saving mode
...Settings/Battery/check Enable power saving mode
2. Turn off wi-fi draining modes
...Settings/Wifi/click MORE IN upper right corner/Then choose Manage. There will be 3 options you will want to turn off
1.SMART NETWORK SWITCH
(This setting sounds like it's efficient but it's and kills the battery)
2.PASSPORT
(This setting enables the phone to look for passport enabled wifi hotspots so it "searches" for them all the time when you're out and about) its Turn it off.
3.ALWAYS ALLOW SCANNING
(Need I text more)
Its Turn it off.

I have had this s6 edge + set up this way for 2 months with no drawbacks or loss of functionality and it has literally added 2x the battery life.
There's one other thing that's up to you is the advanced calling feature. This enables HD voice and Data use while on a phone call. It does use more battery but is up to you whether or not you need that capability.

Does disabling ANT services mess with wifi calling? That's the only reason I wouldn't want to turn it off if so.
The battery life on my phone has been straight up terrible, so I'm always looking for new ideas before getting fed up and getting a 6P.
Charged to 100% last night. Took it off charger at 3AM, never touched the phone til morning, and at 930AM, it was at 75%. 6% of that, the highest percentage, was due to "Android OS".
Meh.
Mine was terrible enough to bring me to these forums to see what was up. I wiped the cache and that fixed it. I'm back to 15-17 hours (4G and Bluetooth on, WiFi off)
