Do i need to do a battery calibration when switching between the extended battery and the regular? Depending on my work day i take a different batter with me but the extended seems to be dropping as fast at the standard one. I am running Blurry 1.3 ROM.
IMO its just a placebo effect

I had never run one before but when I stitched to blurry 1.3 I was losing 10% battery life every thirty minutes while not in use!! I was told to run the calibration on it and boy did it help, now I drop ten or so every hour/hour and a half with heavy usage, and only a percent or two when not in use.

Absolutely. Placebo? The battery stats are for the stock battery. You put a bigger battery in, and you don't think you need to tell your system?
Don't calibrate and enjoy the same battery life you got on the regular battery.

I'll post a link to a great calibration trick in a minute. I was easily getting a day and a half on my x2, with heavy use.

So you think the battery calibrator app is not good enough

I think it's good. I use it in conjunction with the other one. Google "juhde calibration DROID" and you'll find the thread. Made a world of difference for me...

I just switched from the stock battery to extended yesterday and was wondering if there's anything I should do to "re-calibrate" the phone properly? I wiped battery stats once it was fully charged for the first time with the new battery, but it does seem to be dropping faster than I imagined. Should I give it a few cycles to settle in, or try and charge/wipe it again?
Give it a few cycles. It gets better over time. The same goes for the stock battery. This has been the same with every Android phone I've owned.

Currently I am running Liberty test build 48. It seems to last me around 6-8 hours on light use but I can't live like this forever. Light use is not why i bought this phone Lets face it. With heavy use every rom I have used has been around 35% after around 2-4 hours of heavy use with 4g enabled. All the reviews gave the bionic great battery life reports. But this is poor, I live with a charger in my pocket.
So my question is which rom are you using and what are you battery life experiences.?

Stock. Debloated.
Battery life? More than 6 hours.

Keeping 4g enabled all the time is what's killing your battery. All of the 4g phones have the issue but from what I've read Bionic is the only one out with decent life.

I have never turned 4G off on my thunderbolt or bionic.
My bionic stock got about 20-30 hours with moderate use. With the TH3ORY roms I get about 8-10 hours.
The Thunderbolt got 6-8 hours stock, and 10-12 on the bamf roms

20-30 hours!? I'm in awe. I must be holding it wrong or something lol.
I got 6-10 with 4g enabled but didn't answer the phone lol. No usage.

Lol.
"Didn't answer the phone"
And yeah, 20-30 hours man? Was your phone dormant? Sleep mode perhaps? Did you lose it? Was it turned off?

Dumb question...but are you calibrating your battery every time you flash a new rom? If not that is your issue.

Is it possible to drain the battery out on liberty and charge it back up without issue?

No task killers, LTE enabled but on wifi most the day. Normal use. I got 20-30 hours on stock. Do your research I'm not the only one.
Coming from the thunderbolt I was very impressed.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I do restart my phone every morning and keep the text and things cleaned out.
Just like a computer the better the maintenance the better the performance.
Also as I understand it don't run task killers, its like pulling the plug on your computer over and over and then wondering why everything is unstable.
Also isn't gingerbread built to close apps if they aren't in use after a set amount of time?

6-8 hours isn't good
I've used most Android based phones and all of the Iphones. Loved the utility of the Androids but loved the battery life of the iphones. UNTIL the Bionic.
Based on my Thunderbolt experience I opted for the extended battery for the Bionic. Don't really need it. I use my phone almost totally for data and GPS. Easily 10 hours of heavy usage on standard battery. Not sure about the extended battery.
If you are only getting 6-9 hours on regular usage you really need to trim your running apps or return the phone. In my experience that is WAY under what your expectations should be. My best guess would be about 12-15 hours.
I should be getting mine in the next couple days and I've been curious about the use of 4G.
Is there any reason to have it on for the typical phone features? Such as phone calls, texting and idle. Unless you're a really heavy data user, it seems like you could have 4G off for a fairly significant portion of the day. Am I overestimating the power saved from having 4G off?
I haven't decided whether or not I plan on using any of the current roms, but I'm definitely not going to use one if that's the kind of battery life I can expect. I'd definitely like to hear more input about battery life from those using roms.
I have the 2760mah extended battery. Running d3blurr3d beta4. Im currently testing my battery to see how long it lasts. Right now im at 24 hours and I have 37% battery left. Battery life has been insane coming from the tbolt. Im in the moderate to heavy use bracket.

D3blurr3d or r3blurr3d?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC
Well...
Having tried all the custom roms out there I can say without a doubt that d3blurr3d (currently running beta4 but beta6 is current) has the best battery life. I agree the r3blurr3d ate my battery alive but this d3blurr3d is a whole new story. Off battery with moderate usage for 12 hours I sit at 53% right now with the extended battery...used to be below 10.
How does it compare to your stock experience?
Where is reblurred at? Saw it before but nit recently. Lately just r3blurr3d 1.7 or the liberty teat build on andirc#bionic
Edit: nevermind found it in deblurred on page 50 in rootzwiki forum

Stock debloated, 10 to 15 hours if I'm in a good coverage area, if the phone is looking for a signal 2 to 4 hours.

Just talked to att fond out LG has problems with the thrill and are working on fixing it, I hope they do this soon and I'm getting a 4G sim card turns out I'm not getting 4G speeds because my sim is to old

What problems? They say that about every Android device.
Mine is working just fine, sans the occasional glitch, which I also had on my Atrix, and the wife's Inspire, and my captivate, and the GS2 I tried... See a pattern?
Oh, and even my iPhones had problems.
No problems here.
They said that some of the thrill's battery's cause power failures like mine and have freezing problems another problem I have I had to warranty mine out

Well after getting a new battery it does seem to work better and it is nice not having to charge 2-3 times a day.

Lately my battery has been dying pretty fast. I think it's either going bad or SPB Launcher is draining it.
Got my new battery my phone already works better

I'm very lucky that I haven't had too much trouble with my thrill. Battery life sucks, but that's because of the software...

i can imagine a graphics intensive launcher like spb will drain your battery pretty quickly.

It's only been 2 days since I updated to 4.1.1, but, knock on wood, I think I'm getting much better battery life! Can't give exact numbers yet, but at least the battery page on settings works for me now! :victory:

Google Now eats up battery life. I'll be making a guide on how to maximize battery life seeing as no matter what I'm on (ICS, JB, or JB OTA) I still manage to push 8+ hours of screen on time with the setup I use. Also, disable fastdormancy if you're using a carrier that doesn't support it.

If you're rooted, get Titanium backup pro and freeze "orientation notifier", "modem fast dormancy...", and "modemstatservice". Under battery, these were labelled as "wakelock" and used about 25% of my battery

Rooted titanium backup with all bloat frozen including modem stat service and fast dormancy maxx battery. Now just think what a power skin would do with this thing and the maxx battery

Two hours of screen on time contributed to only 10% battery loss???
Did you just left it with screen on without touching it?
Can you post all the things you've frozen? I am on T-Mobile as well.
This is literally everything frozen
And I lose 20% per every 2 hours of screen time
On 4g. It varies day to day, depending on my location.
