Hey guys,
Was wondering what are the hours you people are getting on a rooted LG Revolution with a recent build, crap turned off when you don't need to (idle, and juice-defender app) like my old Droid 1 (OG).
I was getting 8 hours on my Droid 1.
I right now upgraded to a Samsung Stratosphere which doesn't even have A-GPS so my GPS fixes take FOREVER in-doors! (Yes I was in a store out of state and my Droid OG died!)
And the 480p versus 720p screen and no HDMI and no dual-core.
I mean the sales-person @ VZW while on vacation (yes my dev mind was off!) sold me into it because my Droid 1 ran out of battery (died hard, car charger wouldn't work) until I got back to the hotel.
I mean the Samsung Stratosphere (VZW Galaxy S II basically) has a QWERTY keyboard, is nice and uses VIA7.1+CMC220 which apparently isn't Qualcomm and has longer talk time (8 versus 7.1) and other features which leads to the increased battery life.
I am on day 2 of 14 day return. Damn-it!
I didn't know LTE battery life drains like ****!
And VZW's dual radio approach!
Seriously I need to investigate AT&T HSPA+ 4G and their single radio LTE approach on their phones (am I right!?)
Also Qualcomm's MDM9615 and other chips:
When is a product going to be out that is going to be SINGLE RADIO CDMA2000 and LTE!?
I don't care about simultaneous voice & data that much if i get 40% longer battery life.
Also based on what I'm reading based on current iterations text messaging is over the 1X network correct?
The LTE is for PURE INTERNET!?
UPDATE: Looks like from a test plan on Google/supplier/public its SMS over IPv6 over LTE.
So the SMS *IS* IPv6 over IMS.
Just the 1X voice calls radio and a separate chip.
Well, I'm running GingerVolt 1.3 w/ v6 supercharger, blitzkrieg kernel @ 1.2ghz, and setCPU.
On a day where I have access to wifi I get about 12hrs with moderate use. 14hrs with lite use.
At work I get about 8-10hrs (no wifi access in a 4G network) with moderate use. About 5hrs if I have to rely on GPS navigation through out the day.
I did notice a slight improvement in battery life after installing chainfire 3D, about 2% per hour.
From My Bryce Device
I've got an extended life battery and here's my battery life summary:
Light Usage: 24-26 hours
Moderate Usage: 16-18 Hours
Heavy Usage: 8-10 hours
Light usage is obvious, I barely ever use the phone. Maybe a few texts throughout the day, check facebook and google+ a few times.
Moderate usage: Tapatalk app usage, facebook, google+, twitter, emails, texts, calls, theme testing, flashes.
Heavy Usage: All of the above, plus playing N.O.V.A., Brothers In Arms for hours lol.
I'm currently running gingervolt 1.3, blitzkrieg kernal 1.0 @ 1.3ghz, upgraded supercharger plus bulletproof & nitro, KAK, and adrenaline shot. I also have the extended battery as well.
I'm usually texting/on wifi a lot and get around 12-14 hours until my battery hits 20%.
Gingerfused Gingervolt 1.3 + Blitz
Ok not to be a little off topic. You only got 8 hours out of your droid 1???? I got 28hours out of mine one time when I didn't use it, and I normally got about 15 hours out of it with moderate use.
On topic:
I just got my revo yesterday, so I haven't had a ton of time to play with it. I unplugged mine this morning at 4:30am before I left for work. Wifi off, 4g on. I had to plug it in before noon because I got down to about 35% by 11am.

This has been my experience as well. The ROMs for this phone don't offer deep sleep, and perhaps you wouldn't really want it if they did. My experience with deep sleep (introduced in CM 7.1) has been hit or miss. Imagine your phone going into deep sleep and every once in a great while, you can't get it to turn back on (sleep of death)

So basically just answer the poll based on a normal day of usage...
I'm curious as to how other people's nexus ones are doing in terms of battery life. I can practically watch the battery % drop. It lasts about 15-16 hrs, but thats even with being careful (enabling airplane mode in areas with no reception, disabling GPS some places, using only 2g at times). Heck, today, I lost 25% over 2.5 hrs, I was listening to music for about an hour, and was surfing the web for a little bit as well.
Yeah I can literally watch my battery drop as well. It's the always on data connection. One day turn off cellular data for the whole day just as a test, and see how much longer your battery will last. It's such a huge difference you could prob go 2 full days easily.

36 hours actually, that's what I got when I turned off background data,wifi, location services, chat, messengers, and screen brightness last fm syncing.but then its just a phone...and boring. Id rather use it to its full potential and charge it up when it needs petted like a puppy.
On average with normal use I go about 12 to 19 hours.
With data on, losing about 1.5% an hour in standby, with syncing and all. Math says if I don't touch it, it can stay synced 70 hours till discharged (assuming no phone calls and no SMS). Tried once, stopped after 48 hours with ~40% remaining.
Sorry, but this poll is useless.. Smart Phones are not dumbphones, you can't stamp a "runs this long" label on it. Everyone has a different configuration, different things set up, different accounts/number of accounts, different data moving on those accounts, higher/lower/no sync/notifications on social media, etc...
What you're going to get is this: People who play 3D games at high brightness for 3-4 hours and kill the battery. And people who have everything disabled and never use the phone and it lasts 2-3 days. You might get some in between, but the two above are the most likely to respond because it's "exceptional".
So I'm not completely OT and just complaining, I have online IMAP with K9, weather, Google cal etc syncing, randomly use it during the day, not much phone calls but checking the market etc... I average 2.5-3.5%/hr.
This holidays when I was abroad (no cell data) I found myself at night with the Nexus being at 65 - 70% battery after some GPS positioning (not navigation) for offline maps (rMaps FTW), some snapshots, about half an hour wifi and a pair of sms and one phone call. So yes, blame the always-on cellular data.
My method
This is what I do to maintain superior battery life:
1. I run CM 6 RC3 (I've found good battery life on this.)
2. I under clock the cpu (245-384) while the screen is off. This is a huge battery saver.
3. I turn off wi-fi (I found when I accidentally leave it on, I do loose a significant amount of battery when compared to when it is off, as it searches for networks.)
Thats really about it... My battery lasts the entire day and more (just by a little), with moderate usage. I do know, though, with heavy usage, the phone won't last as long.

my sentiments exactly!!!
I could, and I have made it last almost 45 hours with steady SMS usage.
I'd stick it in my locker, disable all activity (background, 3g, etc.), and when I took it out, I'd let it check my gmail and sms. Make my replies, and stick it back in my locker, pocket, or on my desk.
My main connection with family and friends is via SMS, so it's pretty easy to go the entire day with no internet use.
I'm running Enoms latest and I'm getting great battery life. Been 18 hours and I'm still at 52% with moderate usage. Not a lot of phone calls but plenty of texting, twitter updates and browsing through Google Reader. I have everything set to sync every half hour or less, GPS is on all the time and I have my screen set to auto brightness.
I just make sure to calibrate my battery when I flash a completely new ROM or when I notice my battery life getting worse. With Enom's ROMs I've never had bad battery life that couldn't be fixed with a calibration.

6:30am-11:30pm (17hrs): full brightness, WiFi on the whole time, Bluetooth on the whole time, gps the whole time (location services for about an hour), a few hours of talk, few hours of mp3, hour or so of Pandora, few hours of web browsing, gchat all day long,Twitter all day, taking some pics and video, and sync with two Google accounts and one Facebook. Percentage left at the end of the day... 30%!!!!!!!!
im in the same boat as ywindlass
im running cm6 with setcpu set to underclock while the screen is off. I also have it set to underclock once my battery level gets to 40%. I went from 12 hours per day with light to moderate use to almost 24 hours.
Yeah, CM6-RC3 with setCPU making the CPU underclock when the screen is off is the way to go. I've been able to listen to music for at least 6 hours a day and still be at 50% battery life by the time I go home.
About 16 hours on stock FroYo with 3G on, some music, lot of surfing, RSS feeds...
Can people post their typical battery life times with the D3 so far, to get a feel for how good this is (hoping its a bit better than the JUST one day maybe) of most phones nowadays)

Well, lets see. I have set the radio to CDMA mode only, purchased the extended battery (+400mAH extra) and have GPS turned ON, Brightness at 70%, and Sync is ON.
Yesterday, I got to 70% after 14 hours of being on battery. This was with light use. 1/2 hour phone call, a few text messages, etc.
Today, I've been on battery for ~8 hours, and I'm at 80%.
A few days ago. I went a solid 8 hours of heavy use: using maps/navigator for about 20 minutes, texting, watched a part of an HD movie for 10 minutes. Had WIFI turned ON. Took some pictures, recorded video in 1080p, etc. My percentage was at 30% before I connected the battery charger.
Edit: My prediction: Once you have fun with the phone, set it up, get use to it, and then switch to using it for daily stuff.. texting, some calls, check your bank, watch a youtube video, etc... you can most likely get this phone to last more than a day on battery power. For me, as long as it gets me from wake-up in the morning to bed at night on just battery power, it's good.
I've got the extended battery, first day usage running it dead got about 38 hours. About 6-7 hours on the phone, some internet and a bit of texting. Suprising thing is, display is only using about 2-3% of the battery usage. Most is Cell Standby and Phone idle, both about 30% each.
Weird, I was getting horrible battery life with the standard battery, about 8 hours even with CDMA only. I put in the extended and maybe got 9.5 hours.
Today at home I have been using it moderately with GPS, WiFi, and mobile radio on and am at 70% at nearly 10 hours of use on the extended battery. Crazy, don't know what changed, maybe my signal at work really sucks...
14 hours 32 mins on my first full drain. That was with some decent usage. I'm probably going to pick up an extended battery though
Pictures say it all. This is with moderate to light usage. Some phone calls, text messages, browsing facebook, etc.
Display Brightness is AUTO and I have the extended battery installed.

Ditto. I was at a little over 30 hours today and at 40% when I plugged my D3 in. This is pretty normal for light days.
Hmmm something must be wrong with mine. My girlfriend's and mine have been getting around 11-14 hours on a charge. A "charge" would be when it gets down to at least 15-20%.
I don't have any widgets running really, except that stupid Verizon data app sometimes seems to keep trying to access something when I'm on wifi.
Not too good for me here. Down to 70% with barely any usage after about 4 hours. 36% of that use is cell standby, and 32% is phone idle. 16% system and the rest is apps and all are under 5%.
I barely even use the phone itself and haven't even made or received a call since getting the D3. Today so far I've sent 4-5 texts and checked email a couple of times so for it to be down to 70% is crap.
I'm giving serious thought to returning it and sticking with my OG for a while longer. It was running CM7 with stock kernel and lasted considerably longer with heavy use.
Took off charger at 720am and at 942 its at 80% no good, made two 2 min calls and had some txt and iys already draining, I don't have really anything syncing and im on cdma

Does everyone do the sync every X minutes or on push? I'm using push and that's probably what's draining the **** out of my battery.
For everyone having trouble with their battery: Have you changed your mobile network to "CDMA Only"?
If you haven't done such a thing, here is how to do it:
- At your home screen, Press you Menu Softkey and choose "Settings"
- Then choose "Wireless & Networks" at the top of the menu
- Select "Mobile Networks" at the bottom of that menu
- Choose "Network Mode" and select "CDMA Only"
If your settings were set to Global, then the system would be going between CDMA and GSM every time you signal was weak or it was trying to acquire a signal. By selecting CDMA only (Verizon's Home Network) Then you are telling your phone you are in the United States and to stop looking for other types of networks. This should greatly improve battery life, as it did for me.

Awesome, I'll try to remember to report back here my results.
I've done the CDMA only with HOME only selected.
6 hours and 40 mins since taking off charger, and down to 50%. About the same as yesterday.
38% of it cell standby,
34% phone idle,
18% android system,
6% display,
4% android os and
2% maps is the whole list of my usage since then.
It's a bit early to tell, but yesterday I decided maybe switching to CDMA only was meaningless while the SIM card was still installed. It's only been off the charger for a bit over an hour but I'm still at 100%. Typically it's been dropping about 10% an hour or so. Will update after a few more hours of use.
My battery life has been sucking. I am around 50 percent after a days use at work. With my Droid Inc 1 it was around 75 percent. I have it in cdma mode.
Cell Standby 39%
Wifi- 29%
Phone Idle- 26%
Display 4%
Android Os 2%
Android System 2%
Doesnt make sense. The Inc was rooted too running CM 7. Cant make that big of a difference.

After 6 hours I was only down to 70%. Typically I would be at 50 or even hitting 40 so there seems to be some improvement. I also noticed that despite having set it to CDMA only, after pulling the sim card, it was set back to global.
I have only had the D3 for a few days, and so far I can get a full day out of the battery. I listen to music via bluetooth FIPO all day (+9 hours) and I'm generally around 20% when I get home. However, recently the Social Location app has been going nuts. See attached...

So you've seen an improvement in battery life after taking out the sim card? Has your cell standby percentage decreased?
With my display on auto and moderate texting. Ill usually last from 10AM in the morning to like 11pm and still have like 30% left.
Before I bought the Vivid, I read every review that was out, even the customer reviews on AT&T's site. There was a common theme in all of them: Battery life is bad. Even the glowing reviews had "battery life" as a con or said they wished it was better.
Needless to say, my expectations weren't high. I have had HTC phones in the past and battery has never been their strong suit.
Imaging my surprise when I tell you that after a 10 hour work day, I go home with an average of 60% battery. I text throughout the day, have seven e-mail accounts syncing, widgets that pull data on my home screen, etc. I am definitely using the phone. I leave Wifi on all the time and I have LTE access wherever I go, so the LTE radio is always on.
Am I really that unique? Is anyone else getting good battery life with the Vivid? If the Skyrocket is supposed to have way better battery life, I can't imagine how long it would last compared to my Vivid, at least with my use.
Overall, very happy with this phone. Battery life is what always drove me away from Android and that is not an issue here.
I would say I unplug my phone around 7 and it gets to 10% around 7 so 12 hours ? I would say thats pretty good battery life I came from the inspire and it would die after 7-10 hours so I would say its a lot better! Though I cant wait for a cm9 or 7 rom since i was getting a full 24 hours + With that.... So im very excited to see!
I am also getting about 10 hours with heavy texting use throughout the day. I have friends overseas and we text via Whatsapp and sometimes Skype. Otherwise it would last even longer since I the screen display wouldn't always be on. I am not complaining getting 10 hours of use though since I'm coming from an HTC Aria which was about half that.
Almost as good
With the standard battery that came with the Vivid, I am getting 24-48 hours on a charge, but I don't use it as much as described above. I have WiFi on at work, but I don't do a lot of e-mailing from the phone. (I work at a desk all day, so I have e-mail on my PC.) But I do look up a lot of things. I suspect I use the phone for at least a few minutes 6-8 times during the work day and 2-3 times in the evening (with WiFi at home). I am not a heavy data plan user, partly because of WiFi access. I use Bluetooth to connect to my car's sound system during my 30-minute commutes. I usually put it into Airplane mode at night, cutting down on the battery consumption. So, I would expect to get somewhat better battery usage than someone who is on their phone much of the time.

Just out of curiosity: Why put it in airplane mode at night? Why not just plug it in to recharge?
I have a lot of days like you where I use it lightly. I have noticed that the idle drain on this phone isn't nearly as bad as past Android phones I have owned.
Yesterday I got 16 hours out of my phone. That is with me syncing three email accounts, running a live background, using data to read news articles, downloads from the android store, browsing the web, and making around 30 minutes of calls. It is much better than my cappy was. I made sure to charge the battery when I first got it all of the way before powering it on. I also have let it run down completely to cycle the battery.

When my phone was stock the battery life was OK, not terrible, but not great either. With a custom ROM the battery life has increased greatly. I unplug it around 8am and when I go to charge it at night I usually have around 40% left. That is with moderate to heavy use, at least that's what I consider my use.
Failed to mention I am on the stock Rom.

I got around 17 hours last night and was only down to 70% left. Quite a bit of use too. It's actually better for me than my GS2 was.

I'm always getting 20+ hrs on my vivid with med. Use with the stock Rom my battery was pretty good but with rumraider its going on about 30 hrs with 40% left ....wow and I haven't even charged it since I flashed
I think alot of the differences in battery life have to do with how strong of a cell signal you have. The weaker the signal, the quicker the battery dies since your phone is constantly trying to stay connected. Also, if your signal is bad, than that usually means your internet data is slower too and thus it takes longer to download news, email, and web pages, thus killing your battery even further.
Although, my signal is usually at 2-3 bars, the battery seems to last much longer than I was led to believe from reading reviews. Overall, I am pretty happy with this phone.
Just a suggestion, I am getting fairly good battery left, I am on a rooted stock rom with most of the bloat ware & processes frozen thru Ti Backup, I have wifi on all day but limit sync schedule (with refresh on use enabled) I have noticed that the battery stays at 100% for a while then starts to drop off. Today running about 7.5 hours and currently have 95% charge available. I also have Juice Defender free helping out with ballanced profile enabled.
Cheers

Simple rundown:
I text fairly frequently, do a reasonable amount of web browsing (read: where I don't have access to a computer), sync 3 email accounts, check XDA and play GameBoy on the thing. Weather is on hourly autoupdate with location; news is on demand when the widget is viewed.
The only daytime charging I do is when I'm using my phone as my car's AUX input, where it is plugged on the charger (although still draining according to the battery graph).
I end the day with 52% battery life, off the charger at 7:45 AM, back on at 12:00 AM. Much better than my Captivate. Prior to root, custom ROMs and SetCPU, it would clock in at around 38%.

I totally agree with this. My office is in the basement of our building and I get fairly poor signal - maybe 1 bar but I still can access the LTE network. When I turn my wifi on, by the end of the work day, my battery is much less drained vs not having it on and my phone searching for signal from the mobile data network.
At home, I have a pretty good signal, but there's not LTE coverage yet, so the battery does last longer throughout the day.
Even on the bad days I would get home and keep it running until I plug it in before I go to bed, so that's an average of about 17 hours in total per day that it's running on battery and on average I'd have like 30-40% battery left.
I was using an iPhone 4s before I bought the Vivid and I used to go home with about the same amount of battery after a full work day. Granted, the 4s gets worse battery life than the 4 by far, but I still think it's impressive that an Android phone, especially an HTC does this well and it makes me wonder why all of these people in the reviews have been getting such bad battery life.
It all depends on what it's relative to. When I had a BB, I'd go almost 5 days between charges, but there's no comparison between a BB and a 4.5" LCD screen.

This is a key point. The big screen is a huge battery sink. The battery widget in Beautiful Widgets gives a percentage battery use for components. With mine, the display's battery usage is always at least twice as big the next nearest battery sink. It is not uncommon to see that it is using 90% of the juice. I think this explains a lot of the early complaints about battery life. We all spend hours playing with a new phone and getting it set up to our liking. That means the display is lit up for hours. That means people get lousy battery life when they first get their phone.

I was trying to see how long I could go on a single charge. Airplane mode shut down radios that might otherwise continue to run, trying to pull data I would not see while asleep. Also, I would occasionally run the battery all the way down before recharging. I generally plug it in at work, in my car or at home when it gets down around 10% remaining.
Alright, so the biggest complain to this phone is the battery life as we all know. Trying everything to stabilize the battery life, i have used many apps but no luck. One thing I have noted after trying to fix the battery with a calibrator (root required), I read my phone using 4.1V. This is strange because for a simple Watt calculation, you do w= amps x voltage. If the battery can only manage 1.5 x 3.7 or 5.55 Watts and my phone specifically is taking about 1.5 x 4.1 or 6.15 Watts, this means faster battery drain.
What I want to know if there is some sort of voltage control app or modification to the power management for the phone to remain within the V3.7 specified by the battery.
I will also say that randomly my phone decided to run no more than V3.7 on Feb 14 and this is what happened. I unplugged at 7:22 a.m and by the time 9:30 a.m Came, I was at 70%, but then my phone lasted until 6:15 p.m or 18:15 after that. And noted that i did regular texts (sent and received about 200) had a 15 minute phone call and about 1 hour and 15 minutes of bluetooth music playback (I use Bluetooth headsets **Jaybird SB2**) and some internet usage. Not 12 hours but better than the 4 hours most of us get.
What are your thoughts as well?
Juice Defender and/or Gingerbread
I use both gingerbread 2.3.5 and juice defender, still no luck. Just going to buy 3 batteries.
I wiped my internal SD and factory reset my phone, that did wonders. If you have GB and Juice Defender and your still having poor battery life there must be a problem that hopefully should be fixed with a clean slate, unless you have unrealistic expectations out of your battery.
I'll try what you have done and then ill let you know. But my battery is crazy bad. how many hours do you get? the percent drop is insane. its a little frustrating because my mind is always on battery percentage and my eyes are stuck to the notification bar looking at the battery instead of "enjoying" the phone.
I charge my battery every day.
I'm running 20C with Andida's 1980mah battery.
how often do you use it during the day? i have read that andida's 1980 only gives an extra hour
I used to get 18 or more with froyo and juice defender. Now I get similar on GB without Juice Defender that's with mild use like calls, texts, web surf. As soon as I fire up a game especially 3D ones ill charge immediately after just to be safe.
I play GTA 3 about an hour-two every day,and my wi-fi is never off
I flashed the Lestatious Biohazard Kitchen Rom after flashing the GB 21a baseband and my battery life is better than it's ever been.
buy a better battery
i brought an hyperion battery from ebay.... sure the battery is a little over double the thickness of a typical battery (it comes with a new back cover too) but the life of it is amazing!! i now can leave the phone (fully charged) for 6-8 hours while sleeping and wake up with the phone @ 97% and that's on the default rom.... best $18 ever spent
In threads in the Optimus2X development forum I often see posts that praise the battery life using new ROMs or basebands or RILs. The numbers always surprise me and make me jealous. I have read about some guy whose phone loses about 3% battery during the night, or some other guy who still had 75% battery left after 7h of 'normal' usage.
Today, I unplugged my phone from the charger at ten in the morning and 3 hours later, I had 80% battery left, with the phone only resting in my pocket in standby. Now, about 8 hours unplugged from the charger and less than normal use (15 min browsing, one GPS localization, two SMS sent) I am 25% battery.
I have disabled WiFi, decreased display brightness to the lowest value, always disable GPS & bluetooth unless I need it (which is very rare).
I am currently on owain's CM9 build 62, baseband 313 and RIL 218. I have also tried BB 725/RIL 725 (which caused big problems) and BB 420 / RIL 1120. Both did not give me a noticeable longer battery life.
Whats up with my phone or battery? How can I extend my battery life to the numbers said in the beginning?

i would say something is definitely wrong with your phone, rom or kernel. i use my phone even to play, games like dead space and more, and my battery always lasts for 1 day at least, also oc'd to 1.4 ghz.

I had the same prob, But I solved it,
now my phone survives a full day with normal usage.
Receiving/sending mails tweets facebook post G+ browsing the web etc.
try to drain your battery until your phone shuts down by itself
then fully recharge it after that unplug it and start it up again,
I hope it helps it did so for me.
