+1 on that

Since Gingerbread update i have been getting at least 10 hours of pretty heavy use (web browsing over 3g and bluetooth music and) first day with only a few apps loaded i got almost 20 hours on one charge 3g bluetooth off and just wifi.

Well, to be fully honest, now that i've upgraded to Gingerbread for Sprint Galaxy Tab, the battery is much weaker? i charged up in the morning, used a little wifi, and a little brosing, it was down to 85% in just 3 hours? may be its just me

Thats how i was before gingerbread. My tab last all day now with gingerbread.

Mine seems to have declined as well, but I've also changed roms multiple times lately and haven't wiped battery stats.

Im at 12 hours with 15% left and i just plugged it up. Like i said i used wifi 3g and streamed bluetooth audio all day today.

Hi Kosh..I read a lot about your post and threat. Seems you are well known in XDA now. Nice
Anyway, about your question. I'm using stock rom and to be honest before I upgrade to GB, I only have 4 to 5 hour of heavy use. BUT after GB, now I an have nearly 8 to 9 hours with 3g and bluetooth (headset) on .

Ice cold sandwich battery life

Is it just me or is the battery life on ice cold sandwich pretty bad. I'm struggling to get through the day on full charge. Never had that problem with other sense roms.

I've had awful battery life on every version I've tried, 4.3, 6.1.1, 7.2 & 8.1.1 The only mod I made to was changing the CPU governor. Tried several, SmartAss, SmartAss v2, Conservative off the top of my head. Could never get the battery to last more than 7 or 8 hours. And that was if I hardly used the phone.
I love the ROM but its completely impractical for me to use it the battery life is that poor. Using CM 7.2 I can get over 24 hours out of a charge depending how much I use the phone
Well I set up CM7 and ice cold using the same apps, kernel, clock speed and everything and got very similar battery life. Interesting.
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA
I'm going to give 8.2 a go over the next few days see if thats helps. I used to got a lot of random reboots on previous versions. Reading the change log it looks like those bugs have been resolved, maybe that is something to do with it
I am pretty much running it out of the box without any modifications. Thought asop roms would work better in terms of performance and battery life. Looks like I might have to ditch this for another rom

We have this phone in our family, and have been waiting for ICS update. But the reviews are quite bad. Seems like the phones hardware isnĀ“t good enough to handle ICS smoothly. A lot of reports about slow phone with a lot of lagging.
Maybe it works better with a rooted phone though.
When I was on ice cold battery life was excellent but after I backed up the Rom, tried a different rom, then restored the ice cold backup, battery life was terrible

How is the battery life of ICS 4.0.4 stock vs JB 4.1.2 leak ROM if compared?

Which one will last longer?
ICS or JB ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
U got roughly 8hrs of usage from stock ICS so how much shorter or longer for JB anyone tried?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
whats 8 hrs of usage ? moderate?
i get almost 3-4 hrs of screen on time with wifi of JB
In my experience the battery on a good ICS ROM will last longer than on a good JB ROM. By "good" I mean with the same battery optimizations, or being both stock without customizations. However, it's not a big difference; for me, screen on time is almost the same, but the overall time is somewhat better on ICS.
8 hour of moderate web surfing, wifi on, the screen wake up time like 2 to 4hrs. Or I should consider a back up battery?

Personal opinion.
Jb leak sva 5.1 much much more last longer than any ics custom rom i had been try.
For ics, combination of speedmod+any custom rom will give you the best battery life.
For jb, since there is only philz kernel. Therefore, sweetrom v1 and sva5.1 will be the best choice in terms of battery performance.
Try yourself. ...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
both will have the same battery life if optimized to correct level. personally i dont see any difference in battery on ICS and JB
For me stock ics is still rocking. With stock no worries or compatibility issues. Battery life is great talking about 4.0.4 LR8. The german stock ics has few reported issues with battery life.

some china knock off unofficial batteries loses charge like that. the stock battery hopefully doesn't deteriorate that fast. my stock is still quite healthy. but i have multiple batteries that I rotate through so I don't use my stock battery as much.

It's really a pity that the batteries just last 9-10 months. Mine seemed perfectly OK but then the note wouldn't get very far past the samsung logo, messed up the /system and /data partitions. Just had a replacement genuine battery, but will be very pissed if in october it will once again be broken. Maybe it has something to do with charging with more than 1A chargers? In my car I use a 2A charger, at home it is the 1A charger that came with the phone.

I personally have always used stock charger until i had to move in with a friend and started using his non standard, i noticed a big difference in full charge times, went back to stock immediately.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
it is why they advise in manual to use original chargers only.
It could also be your not adopting battery best practices from manual. Maybe to many charge/recharge cycles?
You can also be unlucky.

Guys, seriously, disable history location and history report on google settings. also disable find remotely and restore original setting on google settings aswell
(if you want to search and wipe youre stolen phone, use Wheres my droid for example)
You can shurely expect a lot more juice after that. Will prove it later with pics tomorow.
battery life
Hi for the last few weeks my phone has only been charging to 92% after been on charge all night I have tryed different ROMs and kernels but still the same even tryed different chargers and a new battery but still no further forwards please help me
I have the same "problem". Stuck at 92%. I recommend you to read this thread.
You can calibrate battery (reset battery stats) using app such as Battery Calibration. (Your device has to be rooted i guess.) You can also delete battery stats in cwm/advanced/wipe battery stats. It's recommended to calibrate it when installing a new rom.
It might help if you plug it in when battery drops <15% (don't let it drop below 5%) and keep charging it until is full (you can add 15 minutes).
I hope that makes your battery stats become more accurate.

MAJOR Battery problem!

I have recently bought a HTC One and the battery is behaving very poorly. My screen brightness is set to around 25% and I only have location services and Auto-Sync on and I can't even go half a day with this thing. I have tried running all kinds of different ROMs to see if that changes anything but it doesn't.Side note it was bought from Swappa if that changes anything.

Look at the first screen shot, warning signs already. Your screen was only on for 30 minutes and yet your phone was AWAKE for almost 5 hours. I see your using 3g data but your Wifi has been on for almost 6 hours. Also your phone radio is using up quite a bit of juice which I assume is because your signal isn't great. Biggest recommendation right now, turn off the location stuff, they are battery hogs. You should also download betterbatterystats which breaks down all the things keeping your phone awake
I also can propose to you to turn off the wi fi ... For me it eats my battery more than the 3G signal.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Even with low signal, this a very odd behavior. The battery is draining too fast.
Try downloading CPU-Z and check the active processor cores and sensor operation. You might have a defective unit.
Good luck.

Turning of WiFi has no difference in battery as well as turning off Mobile Network completely. I do think I have a defective unit though, but I have bought this off of Swappa and don't know where to start.

In BBS you need to show us your partial wake locks and personally I find most roms to be the same regarding battery life. I don't think the device is defective, something whether its a rogue app or a messed up file is keeping the phone on when you have your screen off
