I'm on broken out revo 1.1, and I need to say that zv8 and the work mtmichaelson has put into this phone has not only saved it from disaster, but made it something to be fond of.
I didn't think this kind of battery life was possible, so thank you!
*note that this is on a stock battery and for 6hrs one night the phone was in airplane mode...

nice nice man i have the extended battery on mine and im looking at 13hrs 26mins and 46sec on my battery and im at 29% can i ask how you make yours last so long and how long do you play on it etc?
If you look closely at his status bar those black areas show huge amounts of time the phone was asleep. Still, impressive. I'm guessing he spends a lot of time on wifi and hasn't bumped up his min proc speed.
Also, +1 for Go SMS.

I actually keep wifi off most of the time, unless i'm at home. The wifi at work drops its signal a lot and forces my phone to constantly switch between wifi and LTE, so I usually just rely on LTE. I'm in Seattle, so my LTE coverage is very solid and consistent; I rarely see my phone dropping to a 3G network.
I thought I had bumped my minimum processor speed up to 245, but i guess i didn't make it stick, so I was running the 122.
And even though there was plenty of sleep time for the phone, it is still close to a 3x improvement over stock zv5 and zv7, as well as GingerVolt. On some of those rom's i'd be lucky if my phone made it 12 hrs on a good day without draining the battery.

what ROM are you on? that seems to have the greatest impact, because before ZV8 battery life was mostly terrible.
I would estimate my phone usage to be close to, if not slightly under, normal. No graphics heavy games, but normal text messages, emails, banking, calls, facebook, calendar, alarm...you get the idea.
well i have the extended battery but everything on my phone except my battery is stock ZV8 and everything else i would like to root it but im scared of losing everything
if you follow all the directions to a T, you shouldn't run into any problems. and the more you practice, the more comfortable you'll feel about working with your phone.
root and broken out ftw. it will make your phone worth having, because the stock that verizon puts on this is crap and will leave you frustrated.
If you can get all of your important documents/files onto your computer, just reload them...I erase everything from my phone on a fairly regular basis and really only keep what i absolutely need. that, and setting everything back up really isn't that difficult. its all part of the process and fun of having an android

I just rooted and had this happen. Lost everything off my SDcard too. I was sooooo Just wanted to cry. But my documents were on my computer so I was okay with that. Pics/Music too. But was more upset that I lost my app backup. It's a pain to download 92 apps and remember them all...

Go to the app store on your computer. All the apps you downloaded will be there and you can then re-download them.

I diconnected my phone from the charger, and it was at 100% at 830 this morning and now at 1130 it is at 56%/. This is after probably abotu 1-1.5 hours of browsing the web on my phone and configuring widgets.
I was wondering if that is normal battery drain? I have been flashing my phone quite a bit lately and it seems that the battery life is not that great. I have already recalibrated my battery as well.
Also my phone is overclocked to 1.3ghz.
You might want a second opinion but I'm going to say yes
If there is evil in this world it lurks in the hearts of man.
1130 AM? If so that is not good at all.
Not good at all, I am running Pinnacle 1.2 for 29. 5 hours since last charge and I have 29% remaining, that includes roughly 3 hours display on time and just shy of 1 hour phone calls.
Very happy with Pinnacle 1.2

Yeah 11:30 AM. Perhaps I should look into flashing another rom, although I have been very happy with Apex 9.2 except with this battery issue.

If you're on Apex, try going without the overclock and switching to the DarkCore kernel. That might help your battery life a little bit.
Did the phone feel hot?
What kind of sites were you hitting? White background? Lot's of Flash?
You've got three things that I see hitting your battery hard - the data transfers, the screen and the CPU usage. Depending on how your overclock is set up, I'd guess it's causing your CPU to use at least 30% more juice.
I can get days of idle time, but only hours of heavy use out of my battery. There are certain web sites and games that seem to suck the battery dry.

Nothing really intensive. Mostly just xda forums.
I notice that I get much better battery life with i897 roms vs i9000 roms.

Sounds like you have an app running wild.
Well when my phone is on standby, I find that it drains at a reasonable rate. It is just when I use my phone that it drains fairly quickly.
You're doing it wrong.

29.5 hours? With Pinnacle 1.2 I'm getting about 8 hours with moderate use
Agree with jsfLip!
With moderate use, my Cap get out of battery in 8-10h.
Iam using Pinnacle 1.2, its standby status is quite good! 1-2% after 8h standby at night!
Please have a try!

Plus you need to caliberate your battery
Can't figure it out.
To: miztaken1312
I've tried different settings on my phone and have not been able to get your kind of battery life.
I recently flashed MosaicVI and using the JV6 modem. After using this modem I have been getting better results but not quite as good as your.
What I'm trying to find out is there any certain setting you have your phone in, i.e. only on WiFI, Auto Display, sound, Disabling Your data when not using it? I would really love to get this kind of results. I'm sure everyone else would to.
Oh, I've also cycled my phone battery 3 times everytime I flash a different ROM. Please school me up on how to get those results.
P.S. I tried to quote you and reply but me being new to posting comments did not let me.
Go to market and download "Data switch". You will see marked improvement to your battery life.
So is that the secret? "Data switch".
All it does is turn off data usage so your cappy is not using data for all the background services (synch and such). Its what I use when I want the battery to last and don't need a data connection.
I have never seen any thing like this fail I had with my 1st Droid Razr 4G LTE/CDMA.

1) yup thats some phone fail right there
2) My old razr did some thing like this, but I did not video it and well I could not do any thing with the phone so I had to leave it off and some how it just worked again. (I still have no idea what happened or WHY the bleep it messed up so badly for.)
3) How did you fix it or did it just do it?

Were you able to still use the phone?
Yea, Sucks.
Holy Cow Dude that looks terrible. I've not had an epic fail yet but I've overdone it recently. my Rooted HTC HD2 seems to have a habit of failing, freezing or rebooting right when I need it. I'm on my way home, i need to make multiple calls back to back and what happens friggin android phone freezes. I kill all tasks try to bring it back up, crashes again then instantly into a reboot.
LG Envy Touch.
Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned.
Complained so much to Verizon that two months after getting my upgrade, they let me get another two year upgrade price on a droid x and keep the envy. Lol. Sold it on Ebay for over $200.
Yea it sucked big time.
I had to deal with 3-4 phone reps and 4-5 store guy's before I got a new phone.
I will tell what they said:
1 phone rep said I needed to leave the phone off over night. ( Say what)
1 phone rep said I needed to clear all in all internet apps. ( So did not fix it)
2 store reps said I was being "slowed down for lot's of data use".
3 reps said it needed a fac reset. ( Did not fix it for long, came home and bam 600kbs)
Any way the new one is all good, but it was a pain becuase "it's the best phone they have". ( I am like I just want the thing to work right, telling me this crap does not make me feal better.)

Yeah it just requires a reboot but it happens every now and then not as often as the random reboots though
I think this phone or verizon is crap.
Well I should have not said all good with the new one, but a lot better so far. It has droped Data 2 times and fell back to 3G one time in the 2 days I have had it.
I don't know at this point if verizon is crap or the razrs are unstable. I know motorola is better than this so I think it's just the 4G LTE gsm and CDMA trying to work at the same time fail.
Edit: It's now doing it to. This is my 2nd phone and less than 3 days it start's pulling this crap.
Bigest phone fail us the Samsung intercept. It's the definition of crashes, freezes, slowness, freak outs, and miss sends and barely any apps work with it
Biggest fail for me was the Nokia N90.
Nice phone with nice camera features, but every now and then it drove me crazy with random resets or, sometimes, with unnoticed shut downs. It just resetted or shutted down in my pocket.

It was the stock launcher. I liked it too, so I used it.
My phone runs out of memory with 12 apps
OC'ed to 710MHz from 524, no GPU, can't upgrade
I've used around 5 Android phones (starting from 2.1 now up to 4.3) and for some reason, they all have a pathetic standby time. When I say standby, I mean when you press the power button and it turns the screen off and you don't touch it. Why is android the only OS that has this problem? WP, fine. IOS, probably the best one (only good thing about it).
I've tried different kernels, using no apps from the play store at all, turning off Google's location service, using greenify, and a bunch more. My battery still drops to ~70% at 4:00 starting at 100 at 7:00. When I briefly had an iphone and windows phone, I always was amazed at how my battery was around ~90-95% at 4:00. I know most people actually USE their phone during the day, so its probably not as noticeable.
Does anyone know the real reason for this? By real, I mean the deep down reason for this. Is java just a hog?
I think the main reason is the backround apps that are running. I used my old sensation just as a phone and so I deleted all the apps from it (Facebook, Viber etc.) and the phone lasted 5-6 days on standby with a 1 year old batery. Before I removed those apps I couldnt get 2 days on standby. I think backgrounfd apps in Android are allowed more "freedom" so they use up the CPU while on standby. That is my experience and opinion.

Yeah I thought that, but I said I tried it with no apps installed. Same thing.
Weird, I don't experience that kind of massive stand by drain.
If I turn my screen off or let it time out, my phone can sit for a almost a couple of days before it shuts down - sometimes two full days. This was true with my Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3, and now the One.
So I have no clue what you're talking about, generalizing Android like that.
i disagree
My battery drains 1% every six hours

I am talking about stock Android as well. I have had great battery life with my last three phones.
I've had no such problems with "android" in general. Some roms / apps yes. But after fixing those issues it was pretty much what would have been expected / what reviewers/other people get.
I would recommend getting something like gsam battery monitor and let it run at least a day and then post some screenshots. Maybe we can give some concrete advice then.

Anyone felt like returning this phones after a week cause of battery life?
Im not cause its not that bad and maybe a custom ROM may be able to work on that just looking for other people's experience and what they think thanks!
It's useable with a few temp.. tweaks .
The bottom line is this all occurs with lollipop in general S5 was great on kitkat ...until 5.0
It's not the phone it's features and O.S
People are disabling Volte and WiFi calling it helps a lot
I wouldn't return it over battery life yet the camera is way to good
Give it time We get roms soon and mods it's I take back everything +I said
Samsung needs to take back every s6 and Rethink there whole O.S
For a 750$ flag ship release its so buggy it's hopeless .
Camera is only worthwhile feature

Do one factory reset and set up phone again and disable VOLTE FOR NOW under Phone /More .
Cycle the battery meaning charge filly and let it fully drain as far as you can before recharging again .Another words don't fully charge it when it hits 40%
This is true the battery's learn a drain span
I'f you recharge anything above 10% it isn't gonna learn it's max capacity Takes like a week.
The main fix is Volte disable and WiFi calling
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
i turned off volte i dont really see the need for it i mean its a phone call why do you need such high speeds lol my phone is at 2 percent waiting for it to die lol thanks
If it wasn't for the rapid quick charge I probably would have
returned it but the fact that I can top off in a half an hour it's really not a problem getting through the day.
I think it has something to do that the phone is not going to deep sleep, i rooted mine and flashed a custom kernel, now it does deep sleep and battery is ok now
While battery life isn't as good as some phones I've used recently I still got 5hrs SOT yesterday. Not bad at all.

That is pretty good for this phone ....
Has anyone tried going into Developer Options }Limit Back
Ground Processes to 4 ?
I wonder if this barely slows the Phone for most things but might give an additional ( wild guess 10% to 25%) Battery Life.
I don't have one but if this works....be easier for me to decide.
I may put this idea in a separate Thread.

Well, when I see a post like yours without any details I immediately assume you just disabled everything and used the phone as a live photo frame.
Which gives nice battery stats, but not realistic day to day use.
With my experience of modding Roms, I already know you made some sacrifices I'm not willing no make, but maybe, just maybe there's a battery hogging app service that I didn't notice and don't need.

You can assume whatever you want, but i can tell you that i use my phone perfectly normal as my daily driver. The only real sacrefice is airplane mode cca 14 hours/day, otherwise i do all the usual stuff with my phone (You tube, internet, phone calls and sms, apps, even Real racing 3,etc.
There are so many things in MIUI that you can optimize for better battery life and i use most (if not all) of them.
You can use your phone as a walpaper and disable everything, but without full optimization you will never reached my SOT and battery idle time.
