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.

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.

is anyone else having bad battery life once they updated to stock (.56) ICS?
to me I'm getting anywhere between 2-3 hours less life out of my phone and i have larger (1800mAh) batteries.
i even take the batteries out every now and then and charge them on a wall battery charger that came with the batteries.
i have taken more measures to get better battery life and it appears that there is nothing i can do
i would get better battery life on HoliRaider with 1.6GHz OC!!!

Have you tried wiping battery stats? And doing a full battery calibration? If that even applies to this device I know it worked on my skyrocket.

It's been proven that wiping the stats doesn't do much. The skyrocket imo has better battery life than the vivid and runs on a higher mah batt.

I've tried just about everything, auto-sync off, brightness all the way down, wifi on /off, etc etc, it seems like the only way to have decent battery life is to keep data off all the time
one feature that i do miss from GB is you had the option of having "on demand data"..
however i do wish that at&t would go ahead and give us the option of having an LTE on/off switch.... yes i live in one of the cities blessed with LTE but it really takes a tole on your battery even when its in your pocket not being used

Did you try faux123's new kernel?
Its a true dual core kernel... what I understand... that might help

well you know, OEM battery price is about $30, why so expensive? perhaps samsung talks about quality which placed on battery.
well, you can buy it to vanish your curiousity, then give it personal review to us
I'm not preventing you to buy but i believe something bad will happen to our SGA using that battery

More details pls..How long does the battery last?
Usage pattern?

I have been using these batteries for about 4 months now and I must say I'm pretty impressed. The battery life is a bit better than the OEM battery and it comes with three and a wall charger.
Bought the Note mainly for the battery (and I have been amazed with it overall) what, in your opinion is the best ROM, ROM/Kernel for battery life.
Right now I'm using Rocket and Speed mod but I've found stock to be very similar in regards to battery

hey developers,
i have a lg optimus p990 and rooted it weeks ago. i put cm9 on it and im really happy with that.

ive installed battery calibrator for rooted smartphones and also killed some apps that used alot of energy but the battery still not lasts that long -.-
do you have some tips or a good battery app? thanks
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
Don't worry it's normal in cm9 unless your battery it's not too old....
Use Team EaglesBlood rom....has a good battery life, I think. Had a nice life at standby

In my experience ics for o2x has pretty bad battery life. I haven't found a way to solve it.
