Which rom has the best battery life?

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.

[Q] Battery Life on ICS

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

Bad battery life on Roms

Ever since I began flashing roms I've been having horrible battery life on them even worse than stock.... What is going on?

Also, read the threads for the roms. A few of them have battery drain issues that have been extensively documented within the threads. There are several posts saying "don't use build xxxxx use build yyyyy instead". For me, battery life has been pretty good using PAC that I built myself.

My favorites are Lightwieght over on rootz, stock rom, or stockish by ess.boyer. All with Kozmik's stockish kernel. I know that I could get better battery life with Holic's and faux kernel, but the lag and stuttering bothers me.

HTC One battery

I'm using the Renovate Rom and it's awesome and I before I rooted my One I noticed it took FOREVER to charge. Now after flashing this Rom I noticed my phone charges super fast. I don't know if this is good or bad or if it's going to hold the charge like it used too. Any thoughts? Also post in here how long battery life you get with your HTC One and what Rom you use. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone use this phone with LTE?

I hear battery life is excellent... On 3g. Usually using LTE makes the phone take a nose dive on battery life when using it because that is exactly what happened to me with my note 2.
So is anyone using it with LTE? And if yes, what is the battery life like?
I'm seriously considering getting it day 1 but I need to know!

I'm using LTE at the moment. No root, using T-mobile, and my battery life is amazing. I have my bluetooth headset connected to it all day and I can easily go 24 hours without needing to recharge it while streaming music for most of the day and watching videos randomly while browsing the web and light gaming.
I never use wi-fi either.

Using LTE the whole time as I got 7GB of data, I can say that this phone is just beastly, can't ask for more from LG, just updates!

I'm on T-Mobile LTE in Oregon. No issues here. Definitely the best phone I've had. I dropped it in the toilet last night too (accidentally) and it's still going without issue. I did turn it off and put it in rice overnight. The only thing I could see giving this up for is the G Pro 2.

I was worried when I changed from Sprint to Tmo last night, but after testing lte from my house is the SW burbs of chicago, I am getting 30 megs down and 10 up!!!
the best ever on Sprint and ATT for me was about 10 down and 3 up..
Tmo for the win:good::good:

I use LTE constantly as a T-Mobile rep on this phone, demoing with speedtest as well as surfing and streaming music in downtime, and this thing outlasts my lumia 1520 on battery.
