I've been obsessive about the amount of signal loss I get with the thrill since GB. Flashed the new v30 ICS and it went well during the day. But overnight I let it sleep. Checked it this morning in the battery usage stats. Had 26% of time on with signal loss. Wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Is anyone elses battery draining hella fast since updating to froyo. .. I cant even get a day with barely using it

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.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
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.

I upgraded my rom to the rXTREME.v7.1.XXBMB4 last night, I had my phone on charge and was 100% at 8am this morning, the phone is very hot on the back and the battery is already at 40%, not sure whether this has anything to do with the Rom but this is all that has changed since yesterday. Any help would be appreciated
Check to see what is draining your battery and work from there...
Its showing android system using 31% and ebay seems to be using 28%, not sure what they are supposed to be but wasnt having any of these issues before upgrade of Rom.

Remove the eBay app and monitor it for a few days
I flashed the 1.31 firmware for s-off to upgrade the radio and my battery life now drops faster than it did before the change in firmware. I tried both custom roms and stock roms on 1.29 and 1.31 with both stock or modified kernels and it doesn't seem to change(some break camera or volume to wake or something else) Battery drops faster after firmware flash.
I'm still on Hboot 1.44 with s-off and just ruu'ed back to stock 1.29.651 installed the custom rom I was on prior to the firmware 1.31 and battery still drops faster than before the firmware update.
I was previously going 7am to 7pm and would have 75% battery. Now I'm at less than 25%. My usage during the day has not changed and my setup is back to the same.
Has anyone else experienced battery life that is worse than before the 1.31 update.

i'm running team nocturnals black sheep rom based on the new firmware, and getting great battery life.
i also flashed the s-off firmware update
I am losing about 5% every 25mins which means I'll get about 8hrs total on a charge.
Using better battery stats I'll have to run 4hrs minimum, but a good day or two is best to check stats.
Nothing is looking abnormal after 25min except what I think is a higher than normal drain.

I'm still havnt updated the firmware but I usually only get about 3 hrs of screen time before it's dying

you've got a rouge app or something sucking battery unless you live in a low signal area.
So after checking the battery apps it appears my screen on and xda via tapatalk is using most of the battery consumption.
Also there is one area in my office that flips from 4g lte to 3g depending on what side of the building I'm on. This causes lots of radio activity switches as 4g ltd is new to the area. Finally some LTE, but the switching is killing the battery.

I feel like my battery keeps getting worse and worse. Used to last me a day and a half and now only about a day.

Hey mate, sorry to hear you are getting worse battery life. Are you using anything from your normal? Check out my guide and see if anything helps. Below are my stats currently. I can only see you still have your alarm on, this can cause a slight lose.
Mine hasn't ever lasted as long as your day and a half, maybe it is just leveling out? A few days ago I recalibrated my battery, maybe that would help?

Try shutting it off ( hold the off button on right side) the turning it back on . Reboot, I had an unexplained battery issue and this fixed it, I can get 3-4 days now.
Any update @gainstatom?

My battery is either good or bad. Right now it's fine and going good. But sometimes I think something makes my battery worse. I will keep updating with screenshot. I think 8% for only minute on screen time is not that good.

Yeah that's great! You can install better battery stats here on xda to see if you are getting any wake locks etc. Greenify plus xposed will do this also, but bbs has more info

I had a battery problem similar to yours not long ago. One of the things that was running it down was in Settings> Wi-Fi> Always allow scanning. The phone would scan for Wi-Fi signal even when Wi-Fi was turned off. Unchecking that box helped a lot.
I also used a battery calibration app that clears the battery stats and that has pretty well fixed the problem.
