How do you guys save battery on your lg revolution? I have LTE switch to turn on only 3g to save battery but what are your guys tips for saving battery?
I use JuiceDefender.

My battery lasts 8-12 hours depending on how bad I beat on it.
My active days, I listen to music, play suduko, check xda, play in the market. Listen to tune in radio.
That said. I don't know if that is short. I think it's pretty long, and am happy with it. I have the decrapified rom, love it. I have App Killer by Rechild set on a widget. So I go in set what I want it to regularly kill, and tap the widget through out the day. It's mostly my android process that hogs the battery according to widgetsoid.

does juicedefender help a lot?
12 hours seems like a long day and good amount of hours. i hear task killers are bad for your phone though
I was averaging 9-12 hours with decrapified 1.1 depending on use. JuiceDefender extended that another 1-2 hours but added 4-6 seconds before I get 4G back when the device "wakes up". It turns the radio off and I have it set to ping instead of constantly syncing. 3G comes on 1st, then 4G...

Sounds ridiculous but i turn airplane mode on when i'm not using the phone. Turn it off every couple hrs to see if i got any emails or texts or something. Huge battery savings. I have the accurate battery mod posted in the dev forum so if i wake it up after sitting for an hr it's down 5% if i leave airplane mode off, but if i turn it on, it's down like 1%... maybe.
Once cm7 is available, we will see huge battery improvements, i have no doubt. Gingerbread is much better w/ the battery than Froyo. I saw huge improvements between cm6 and cm7 nightlies on my droid, to the tune of 200% standby improvements. Still heavy use i wouldn't expect more than 15 hrs, but imo 10 hrs is ridiculous. There's not really a huge difference between heavy and light use in battery time either.

good to know! thanks. when is cm7 available for the revo?
Thecubed is currently working on it.
Buy an extra battery and wall charger off eBay... Throw the battery in your back pocket, and you're set all day. I swap the battery out after about 8 hours (when I get to about 20% battery) and I'm good the rest of the day. I've had to do this with EVERY Android phone I've purchased. The OG Droid would only get me about 10 hours right when I got it, but Undervoltage Kernels, and decent Rom's brought it up to around 16 hours on the standard battery. The Samsung Fascinate was horrible - Roughly 6-7 hours out of the box. Rom's got it up to around 12. The Droid Pro - 8 hours at most on the standard battery, never saw any improvements with my usage. Droid 2 - 10 hours out of the box, but when CM7 came out on it, I was averaging around 16 hours before I got the Revo. The 8 hour battery life didn't surprise me. I kinda expected it, and had already placed my battery/charger order before I went and got the phone. I'm not a fan of extended batteries just because of the extra bulk, plus finding a case w/an extended battery is a PITA. And the 3 minute downtime from a battery swap really isn't that bad (especially if you've ever had a Blackberry).

good information. but i don't feel safe buying one off of ebay because i don't think the volts will match and it will have bad results on the phone. i can't find a cheap yet any case for the extended battery. i'm sure CM7 on the revo will help the battery a lot. we just have to wait now...

Agreed, I don't buy from overseas with the battery but the charger really doesn't matter. I got a genuine LG battery for $19 and then just a generic charger for it for $8. Knock on wood I haven't had any problems with the chargers I've gotten, but I don't trust generic batteries either.

1) You really think the Shift needs one? Don't try the original EVO!
2) You really want your phone to be even thicker?
I am quite satisfied with the battery life. Actually very impressed. Consistently getting 16+ hours out of it. I'm usually a battery snob too. I guess to each it's own
I am satisfied enough with the allegedly 2000mAh battery I got on eBay. The nonobvious fact is that it charges much more completely when powered down. For various reasons, I don't want to leave the phone powered down all night, so I leave it plugged in but powered up. As soon as I wake up, I power it down and plug it back in, and it continues to trickle-charge for another 90 minutes, until I leave the house.
how much

Mind sharing your definition of heavy use? To eat the battery in half a day... WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Consistent music or video use...?
I just ask because that's a pretty harsh battery cycle. On my heroc, cm6 would eat it. 8 hours tops... no matter what I did. Then AOSP would last 30.
With medium to heavy usage, I get no less than 18 hours. My longest cycle has been 61 hours.
WiFi running all day... at least an hour of Angry Birds. Some YouTube. Usually 50 - 100 sms/mms. 2 - 3 hrs talk time. Bout 10 received and sent emails on average as well.
Guess that is light use compared to some abusers.

I will say this, if you spend a lot of time in an area with low signal that will kill your battery quickly.
I work in the 9th circle of hell for cell signal and my battery dies much faster in the office than it does when I'm not in.

Agreed. I work on the inland waterways... sometimes lucky to get 1x for a couple hundred nautical miles (which can be a few days at times) and... well I don't wanna address that issue.
That's why I don't base my statistics on work time at all.
Also to note.. although most phone users should already know this, downloading a 10 mb file on 3G, or even 4g for that matter, will use a hell of a lot less battery than downloading a comparable file on 1x.

Agreed. I get very little signal at my house at all, I have a Sprint Airvana box that supports the signal throughout my house and it eats up my battery throughout the day.
It's ridiculous that these companies are putting the same 1500 mAh batteries into smartphones as they did in the old school phones. Forcing anyone who actually uses there phone much to be dependent on a power outlet throughout the day.
Sure, slim is "in", and it saves the manufacturer money by stiffing us with an inadequate battery, but screws the consumer that actually uses their smartphone.
Your only alternative is to spend an additional near $100.00 to get an acceptable battery that should have come with the phone to begin with.

It depends on shipper's location, the shipping method, and your location
But to discuss the "battery life" of an extended battery, it depends on the quality of the battery cells. When I had my Evo 4G, I bought one of those $15 3500 mAh eBay batteries with a cover. It lasted 15-30% longer than the stock battery. Sometimes it wasn't any better than stock. Using the Seidio 3500 mAh battery, it lasted much longer than the cheapo extended battery, but it was also $50+.
If you want a quality battery, that is almost guaranteed to be rated close to what's written on the cover, get a Mugen, or a Seidio. You will also get the battery life you expect. If you want something that might or might not last longer than stock, go with the cheapo eBay batteries.
You get what you pay for.
Hey guys! I just thought that I would let you in on my experience with the 2150 mah extended battery by verizon. I am still in school and I get pretty terrible service throughout the building. time without signal ends up to be at 60 % I wake up at 6 get up take A shower... Unplugged by 7 play some games... Listen to music almost all day. Send 100 ish texts. when I get home at 225 its still at 75 % I get 2 days out of it with hard usage. I use ultimate juice and have 3g on all day.

I'm hoping that my 2150 will come to life in the next few days. As of yesterday with moderate usage I ended up plugging my phone in at about 10:30 and that was because the battery was at 27%. I unplugged it at 6am yest and played a couple of YouTube videos, made a few calls(the longest being 23mins), sent hundreds of text messages and a few emails. I didn't do any gaming and had wifi, gps turned off and the brightness at about 1/2 way. With these setting and usage, I should be able to get 2 days or atleast a day and a half of battery life. As of right now I unplugged my phone at 6:17am and made a 7min phone call and I'm sitting at 87%. I turned the screen brightness down to 0 to see if that help, but I shouldn't have to turn everything off and screen brightness to 0 from what I've read. If this batt doesnt improve in the next few days, I'm gonna go with a cheap 3500 from eBay.

Update: well, my 2150 is running much better after two charge/discharge cycles. I unplugged my phone today at 6:00am after bump charging it and as of 8:11pm its at 71%. Nice! That's leaving the screen brightness on at 50% and playing games for a total of 30mins plus a few phone calls and my normal texting throughout the day. I'm happy with the battery so far.

Thought I'd give an update on my vzm 2150 battery.
It's by far out lasting the stock battery and it seems to be getting better with every charge. Yesterday I made several phone calls, sent about 500 text messages, made several online purchases, played angry birds and a few other games for a total of one hour, browsed online for a while, streamed fm radio and Pandora for a total of 30 mins and have the screen brightness set to 50%. When I got home that night at 11:30 I was at 27% battery life left and that was unplugging my phone at 6:00 am. So far this batter is awesome.

I recently got this battery here's my experience
Firstly, I did get mine for free from verizon. Tip (tell the rep about how your phone dies quick then the phone's led blinks amber when you plug it in.) Secondly, I am running CM7 latest nightlies with the governor set to performance, overclocked, screen brightness is auto, wifi off 90% of the time, bluetooth and gps on 100%.
Here is my usage on a typical work day
I use pandora probably for at least 3 hours a day with bluetooth connected (keep in mind that I use the high quality music setting and turn off the auto screen lock so the screen is on that whole time. I will typically need to use gps for about 15-30 minutes. I'm not a txter at work so minimal txt usage, I will make 3 or 4 phone calls. I will also browse the web for about 30 minutes.
With this usage I get a solid 8 hours out of this battery so most of the time my phone is dying or dies on the car ride home. (I do have a charger but after a day of work sometimes it's nice to let my phone die) If I have a day full of appointments however I will have plenty of battery life left. I almost never put my phone on the charger until its dead and the first few cycles I really drained the battery to the point that it wouldn't turn on and would charge it all night powered off.
Overall I recommend it. I don't know how I lived without it. I hope this long winded reply is helpful to someone. Enjoy!

Another update on my vzm 2150. As of last week my battery started draining faster than normal and then started dying within 5-6 hours of minimal usage. So I called customer care and they noted my account and advised me to go back into the vzm store I purchased the battery from and ask for an exchange. I'm on my new battery now and it is lasting much longer than the defective 2150 I previously had in my phone.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
On a typical work day, I usually get 12-16 hours with this extended battery - this is with music playback (winamp or stock music player) for 3-4 hours, browsing for about 3-4 hours, texting all day, 2-3 phone calls, autosync exchange + 2 gmail accounts.
On weekends, I turn off autosync, I can get by 2 days with the same usage.
I have no answers but I think apps are a real problem with the battery. I have the 2150 and I've had days that it died before the end of a single day and then I've also went three days before needing to plug it in. My usage is pretty consistent so a rogue app (widget) is my best guess. I've had good results since killing the WeatherBug Widget.
A little off topic, How much thicker is the battery cover than the stock battey cover? I am looking into getting this myself but I dont want to give up my protective case.

Its about double the thickness where the first "bump" of the stock back cover raises up. I used my 2150 for about a week before giving it to my wife. I really liked the performance of the 2150, but I could not get used to the extra thickness or the look of the phone. I am going to be getting the htc 1500 batt and use the stocker as a backup.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Loving this thing so far. Extra bulkiness took a little time to get used to, but other than that the performance is great. Don't even need to use my car charger anymore, which crapped out on me anyway.
i have a 1750 extended battery in mine and most days i can make it thru work on a light load, but i have a cord that i just leave at work so i leave it plugged in all the time. im looking to going back to stock though cause of some recent over heat issues.
I know it sounds crazy, but I do like the extra bulkiness. It's easier for me to hold onto it and just feels better in my hand. It doesn't weigh down my shorts and doesn't feel too heavy.
The only thing I don't like is how ugly the back looks (really not that bad), but it's easily fixed with a snazzy case from here:
http://htcpedia.com/news/case-cover-htc-droid-incredible-extended-batteryc.html
I'd suggest other places but that's the only store I've seen that sells cases that'll fit the OEM 2150 battery.
Wow, just saw someone's phone with the 2150 in it and the extra bulkyness is a deal breaker for me. I heard the 1750 fits pretty close to stock, and I have a jelly case around it, so I probably wouldn't notice some of the reports of gaps in the case; BUT I haven't heard any real great gains from the 1750. I might just pick up a cheap one from amazon, and if it doesn't work so great I'll only be out a couple bucks.
I wish there was as much focus on creating a battery that would last a week, as there is on making the next processor.
I love the bulykness......

So I love my bionic, I really have missed android in general. I came from a ip4 that could go 2 days without worrying about anything. I could stream pandora for 5 hrs at work and still not charge until the next night. The iPhone could last about 2 days with me actually using my phone, not worrying about the brightness or wifi or syncing. It's the third day with the bionic and I took my phone off the charger at 0720 this morning. It sat on my desk for 30 mins then I went three times on words with friends. It has now been off the charger for exactly one hour and 10 mins and it is down ten percent. Should I return this phone or give it a couple more days? I am using juice defender and not rooted.
i would check to see how often your email is syncing. is wifi, bluetooth, and gps off? also go to settings-locations&security and uncheck the location services and share picture location. turn your screen time out down to about 30 seconds. i was on mine for a good 7 hours of browsing and youtube with some pandora and google music miixed in
yesterday and it dropped to 40%.
OR
go buy the extended battery from verizon. It is on sale for $24.99. It only shows up that price after you buy it at the register or put it in your cart online. The sales associates will quote you $49.99 but it will drop i promise you.
I need the phone to at least last 20 hrs with moderate use. How bad is the ext battery?
Plus mine already has all those settings that way
i dont know how the life is yet. however considering it is double the capacity im sure it should be pretty kick ass. 20 hours seems like alot to me with moderate usage for any 4.3 inch screened smartphone. especially one with 4g. I wont have 4g coverage till i get home on monday so im stuck on 3g. i would consider myself a heavy user though considering i tether to my xoom.
You sleep 4 hours a day? All kidding aside 20 hours isn't realistic if you're looking to get that consistently.

im at 6 hours and sitting at 90%
If you work in a hospital, put your phone on Wifi, it uses far less juice, switching from 3g to 4g and back can kill your battery.

So, have you conditioned the battery? Sure, people will say you don't need to and I can see how "letting your batt run down to 0 then doing a full recharge" x 2 or 3 times will waste so much of your time. Don't do it then and you can keep complaining.
I laugh at folks that totally disregard this tip as if it were requiring you to disassemble phone or something.
I've done a complete drain down/full recharge twice so far ... 8 hours of "new phone setup and play time" and I just dropped to 70% (which is probably 75% with Motos stupid 10% batt gradient).
Gettin 4hrs with moderate/heavy use on 4g network. Not impressed
Screen brightness turn down all theway. Wifi off..gps off
2nd charge of day already.
Well to be fair, word with friends for some reason absolutely kills your battery. Remember when I used to play it my battery would drop 10-20% at a time.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Remember also that Moto phones only show battery life every 10% (until you hit 15%) so if you phone reads 90%, it may in fact be 94 or 95%. It rounds itself.
The extended is the way to go....got 8 hrs with it showing 70%....that's with nothing set to conserve....and streaming Pandora Bluetooth about half that time..

Why can't the stock battery last as long as ip4, that's what I dont get. It sucks, I really like this phone but the battery is killing me. I will say that this phone has the best battery life of all the LTE phones.
verizon has for 50% off so is $25 including back cover had a extended batter for droid 1 makes battery issue go away can use alot more without recharge
Up to 20 hours normal use til completely dead battery , on standard battery.
I'm fine.
wow
wish i got on 4g or 3g all day?
stock rom ?
just curious i am lucky to get 8 hour shift and down to 30 %
on 4g and custom rom also
Unleashed, unl3ashed. how ever you spell it. 1.4
Normal use for me tho, is the phone sitting idle in my pocket a lot cause of class and what not.
I'll send out probably between 100-200 texts, talk for 10-15 total minutes, maybe do a web search or two.
Battery profile set to turn data off after 15 minutes of inactivity, background data off. Screen brightness all the way down.
Like I said before in another thread, you could turn CPU scaling to ondemand and that, from my experience, saves a little juice, but has random restarts. You could also try leaving it on the stock mot_hotplug, and turn the max freq down and see if that helps.
I'm on 4g half the day, 3g the other half (when the radio is on of coarse).
Gotta recalibrate the battery too if you haven't done that. I've done both the app, and the manual way in CWM, both work fine, per long as you do it with the phone at 100% plugged in, and let it completely die before you charge it again.
What do you mean recalibrate the battery? I didn't think I had to do anything with it???
under battery on market will see battery calibrate

gotta be rooted, thats the fine print per say.
If you can't calibrate it yourself, best to just let the thing die, charge it to 100%, and let it die again.
Still, if that's still what they're going for at Verizon, it's really hard to beat that price-point. I got one and I love it. Over 24 hours on stock with my usage.
Where are you seeing it for half off?

You have to put in your cart before you see the discount on Verizon site.

I just bought the extended Battery today (without my Corp Discount) and it was in fact 50% off because of a promotion that they are running. Not a bad buy for 25 bux!
Now to test and see how much life i can get out of it

Only a couple hours....
**Just an update** 16 hours and 30 min so far with 40% still remaining. Definitely not bad at all and so much better then stock battery. (Was getting Max of 10%/hr with stock) **moderate use including a couple You-tube vids, checking corp mail and gmail, browsing the web, texting, and reading XDA!

Have to have the extended battery. half off doesn't hurt either.
i dont know how you guys get 20 hours on standard battery? do you mean to have 20hours of ideal time?
I picked up the extended battery at launch and love it. I was planning on running the regular battery on the weekends but find I like the feel of the extended case in my hand. With the original for some reason it feels like the phone is going to slip out of my fingers.
Like the title said. How often do you charge your Nexus 4 each day. Pleas take into consideration that you let your N4 run at least under 30% before charging. If you can go on without recharging your battery for more than one day please post the numbers of days.
I charge once a day. I get 12-16 hours of battery life from what I consider an average day attached are screenshots from yesterdays battery life

Once, when I go to bed - the same as I did my SGS2.
3 times, but I just got it 2 days ago. It might be that new phone usage spike. Still, I have serious doubts that it will go to less than 2 charges per day

Same - same as I have every phone in my Sig.
I chose less than 1 because so far I have not gone to bed with it at less than 30%.

Yep, same. I've even had 40 hours out of it once, but only because I was in meetings for 2 days and the screen was off for 8 hours at a time. that was fully charged to completely dead.
Really happy with the battery life so far, I was being conservative on my last phone with battery however now I've got this I don't really think about it so much.
Charge when I go to bed.

I got my Nexus on Tuesday night and I'm only just charging it for the first time now.
I'm only a light user though.
Once - Over night
Last's all day wifi on 8hrs - BT 1hr - texting & a few calls
Depends. When I'm at home I charge once per day, but when in at work it just sits on my desk charging. I normally use the phone more at work then I do at home, so it's hard for me to tell if I could really get through a whole day work my normal usage. I have done about 12-14 hours or so with a couple hours of screen time and still had 15% left. To me, the battery has been about 25 percent better than the gnex.

I still love my Nexus 4 and it performs well still but the battery life is now beyond dire, charging it 3 times a day.
Is it worth paying a firm to replace the battery? My thoughts are that I can just put that money towards an inevitable replacement in the near future.

I just replaced the battery in my N4. It was simple, requiring only a small torx driver and a small Phillips, plus a pry tool. The battery was cheap on Amazon and says it is an LG battery.
The old battery would no longer charge at all.

I still get 4h of SoT, and 10-12 hours battery time - so I am still quite happy with my N4. Unfortunately the camera really sucks (even more now) so I will replace the beloved N4 soon.

Yeah, I am having intermittent camera issues, a lot of photos come out black even in good light.
It's another excuse to upgrade I guess, has been a great phone though.
I think I should try the battery swap thing, mine just cannot get more than an hour and a half of SOT no matter what combination of ROM, Kernel and Android version I try, and using it during my daily commute means I arrive at my workplace at already 60% even if I'm on extremely low screen brightness. Greenify doesn't help either because it's the actual screen on what kills it, as long as the screen is off the battery drain is negligible.
Worst part is that every single battery out there is a fake, just with a very high-quality copied sticker on it. AFAIK the only way to get a new original battery is through LG and for a price you'd be better just getting a new Moto E 3rd gen for a little bit more and call it a day.

I have decided to give it a go, what sort of screen time is your replacement battery giving you, was the battery from an Amazon Marketplace seller?
almost all day pluged on computer lol
