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.

I bought my extended battery off eBay and it came in an authentic Verizon box with back for 36 bucks shipped so its genuine not fake.

i just bought one of these on amazon is there any chance i will get full day with heavy web use while im at school my dinc dies in 3 to 4 hours when i search to much between classes. also i use google voice to text(im cheap) i believe that runs down battery more than reg texting and im running omgb
I use the Pt brand 3500mAh batt and it lasts me about 8 hours heavy use (pandora, sms, browser, games, netflix) and on lighter use it's anywhere from 1-2 days.
I'm sure seidio will be the same as mine since they're both bigger brands. I actually think they're one and the same. Just don't forget to charge it for 3-4 more hours after the indicator turns green on the first few charges.

I get average 9 hours on time with screen time of 8 hours with mcsenseless.
Starting 3 days ago when I restored my nandroid backup of just the normal stock LG ROM that's comes on the phone but still rooted. And now.my battery barely last 3-4 hours with light use. If I listen to.music while riding the bus carpool.to work or.through my car stereo. Or especially if I use the net, YouTube, and other apps or.download and update stuff. It barely last 2 hours maybe 3 and a half. I know battery life on stock roms are lousy and I am used to using a custom rom but even on stock when I first got the phone I would get 5 maybe 6hours on medium to heavy use and even more on low to medium use. So any ideas on what's up with this issue. I am starting to think my battery is messed up and taking a dive.

Sounds like it could be the battery. It could also be that a newly-installed program is constantly running in the background. I know that ROM toolbox pro has an App Manager program that will show you which programs are running (You should also be able to check this under settings/applications/running services on your phone).
If you don't have the extended battery yet I highly recommend it. My phone typically lasts 12+ hours uncharged with Moderate use. Granted I am on BO Rom 1.1 instead of stock but the battery life has been dramatically increased and the extended batteries have been on sale at verizon now.
Sounds like a bad battery. I had my original one that started to last only 4 or 5 hours with light use. I had bought a dock off amazon that had 2 batteries and also an extended off verizon. Now I always have charged batteries.

So I decided to buy this extended battery. Its for the Galaxy W, but it fits the Exhibit as well. Comes with a case and usb cable. The phone wasn't as thick as I thought it would be, its about double thickness. Only downside is that it is very smooth, not tactile grip. It took about 2.5 weeks to get here from China. I thought I would post some data from the first 24 hrs.
Almost 2.5 hrs of screen time which was mostly browsing, and maybe 15 mins of gaming. I also tethered to my laptop for nearly 3 hours. I still have 50% of the battery left! I have to say this battery is quite good. :victory:
I am using CM10, I found it has better battery life over the other roms.
36 Hour Update
Nearly 3.5 hrs of screen time, over 36 hours with 38% battery still left! Total usage so far was light browsing (reddit sync), 20-25 mins of games, 3 hours of tethering, 2 phone calls, and push notifications (sports scores).
I've had this battery for a few months now. In fact, my phone has been on standby for 50 continuous days with this battery (it's sitting at about 40 percent remaining)! It's a great buy for those desperately needing a day or two of power.

Hong Kong.
Someone suggested getting an extended battery here for this phone.
Hey can you post a picture of the phone itself maybe next to a ruler or something? Does the case fit on perfectly? (since its made for the W)
Thanks
Ok so i figured i should post this here.... I just purchased a 2450 mah battery from ebay. It looks... well lets just say more than "a bit sketch". But check it out. I should get in in 2 weeks-ish.

I purchased this battery. I test with nova battery tester to compare with my old 1500 mah i had since 15 month. It give me maybe 30% more power.... ( 1500 mah * 1.30 =1950mah) but.. 2 week later my old battery died (my phone close at 30%) it possible my old battery had less power than 1500 mah....
After that i don't think this battery is better than a stock 1500 mah or maybe i receive a fake 2450 mah... and it really possible to have a 2450 gold battery with a other seller.
Yea so my battery came a couple of days ago... im pretty sure i got ripped off; it performs just like the stock battery so im assuming all they did was put a different sticker on it...

Thats how it seems for me too. Kinda bummed..
cant find anybig cases to fit this extended battery
Received both the anker and Hyperion 6200mah batteries yesterday. I purchased both from Amazon for about 20.00 a piece including shipping. I decided to test both of these before jumping into the 106.00 mugen 6400. I have an otter box defender case that I moved like in the other thread with the mugen battery. I did the initial twelve hour charge on the anker and took it off of charge and put it in the phone at 9am this morning and used wifi and 4G both throughout the day so far and have not been heavily using the phone too intensively, just as I usually do while I'm at work so it will be rating the battery for how I usually will be using it. It is now 3:30pm and I have done a little Web browsing on 4G and have been updating Facebook and testing all day and am currently at 92%. So far so good I guess I am running beans build 6 with the perseus kernel with the performance profile from the stweaks guide that's in one of the forums on here. My screen brightness is at about 75%. I will continue to update as I break the battery in. Received the Hyperion night before last and charged it in my phone for twelve hours and I gave it a much harder test yesterday. I had the brightness maxed and had the phone on pretty much all day long from about 10am browsing over wifi, playing a ton of games and texting constantly, made 4 or 5 calls and was trying my hardest to drain that battery and with all of that, I finally got it down to 15% by 1:30am. Looks like I might not spend the extra on the mugen and just switch between these two every few days. Will keep updating as I break them in seeing as how these are just the initial charges and they are supposed to hit full capacity after 4-5 full charge/discharge cycles.
Hey where's the guide for the stweaks performance guide?

I upped the voltages a step or two from the ones listed to make sure I don't get any crashes. The performance settings are in the second post down. The first is for battery life I guess, I was getting a lot of lag when scrolling screens and in general so I used the performance ones in the second post with slightly higher voltages.

I'll have some up of the hyperion hopefully soon. I'll try to do my normal usage without tethering. I'm really liking it so far. I recommend anyone pick up the tpu case. It's only $10 on Amazon

Can you link me to the anker? I'm guessing the anker you have isn't officially an anker battery since I don't see it on the Web Site

I'm waiting on my Hyperion to come in. I am going to mod my Otterbox defender so it will fit. Any tips?
I am planning on ordering one of these. Not the Mugen. I do have three questions for you:
1) Both covers are different right? I like the look of the Anker battery better.
2) Does the phone get hot at all?
3) What do you use to charge the battery before placing on it into the phone. Official Samsung charging system or one from Amazon?
TIA
I charged mine in the phone. It came in at 59%. No troubles at all . Once hit full. Reset battery stats. And went to town.

hello
My:laugh::good: battery came in Friday night at 59 percent it lasted 24 hours with everything cut on. I had 2 gmail accounts syncing and Outlook also Facebook which we all know drains battery. I was playing Temple Run 2 with the settings turned up. Flipboard was in frequent use all said I think that this battery is excellent. p.s. it really does take around 12 hours to charge it from 0 that is not a joke.
OK, second charge with the Hyperion with normal use, I have had my phone on for 52hours and am still at 16 percent battery. I'd say 3 days isn't too bad for 20.00. Again this is only the second charge so it may get even better.I can't post screens because I have switched ROMs twice during the three days its been on battery. I'm sticking to this ROM for my next charge cycle so I will actually be able to post accurate screens of usage. I am on the root box ROM now so if you are on beans you would probably get even better battery than I am. Will keep updating.
Here's my 3rd charge on my anker
Now I have a op in general for this battery with tons of pics throughout its use. It's quite detailed. Please look over in general section for more comparisons. I feel the anker is the best I've tested. I've done the 6500 ebay specials have 3 of those. And one of the 7600 ones and there the same as the 6500 ones.

I am looking to buy one of the extended batteries, but none of the sellers on Amazon ship to Australia. Anyone knows of any alternatives, short of using a mail forwarder? I am not very fond of buying the Chinese ones on eBay.
I was using anker extended battery on my s3 and it was perfect. Unfortunately anker/hyperion batteries for note 2 are not available in Uk. I have tried one unbrand from ebay....but it was completely sh%&% $.
So, anyone know where I can buy one of them from Uk ?
Anker battery only comes with the white back cover, correct? i have the gray Note 2, so it would prolly look goofy with a white back...

I have it and I must say it does. I've been meaning to do what others here have, which is use some vinyl to change the white to whatever other color I want.
