After updating to 4.3, I have noticed that using the stock ROM/Kernel is giving me better battery life than before.
It's equivalent to what I used to get using custom kernels.
Also, I haven't noticed any overheating. At least it is not worse than before for me.
Now before you say "Oh that's complete Wi-Fi use" or w/e. I never got ~ 5 hours of Screen on Time when not on Wi-Fi before either... even w/ PA and Franco and UVing.
With that being said... In my first 24 hours of 4.3 use, I have 5 hours SOT.
Wondering the same thing myself.. to see if its worth flashing 4.3 for the battery life vs losing my custom rom features and adding some annoying things i've seen like constant notifications..
Would appreciate input from people who have already flashed it. Or I could just wait for uxylon to get on 4.3
Going to patiently wait for slimbean 4.3 haha.
Yeah..Battery life is great so far..I started while i had 77% charge left..Still managed to reach 4Hrs sot out of total 23Hrs..

nandroid and try it out since to me all these people are going crazy for something that they are only going to leave once the custom roms start coming out. Must admit I only ran my factory rom for 20 minutes. Waiting is not that big of a deal since my phone runs perfect right now

So far my battery life is looking almost exactly like it did on stock 4.2.2, which honestly wasn't great, I was lucky to pull 3 hrs screen time. Also I updated with a full wipe fastboot flash.

No doubt I'm getting better battery life. Looking like around a 20% increase. I can attribute this to mainly a better cellular signal that I now get. On WiFi battery is roughly the same.

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.?

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.

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.

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?

Battery life is much more relevant to how you use your tablet than the kernel. I get anywhere from 5-8 hours display time depending on if my usage is more gameplay or more browsing. The only kernel I actually saw a significant difference in battery life under same usage was faux kernel, performed well but my battery died noticeably quicker.
I now use omega 3 because it gives me faux like performance with stock like excellent battery. I used stock for the longest time, and still would if battery was my ultimate priority, but omega 3 smooths out some games and just about equals stock on battery life. I've never on any device actually had a custom kernel improve battery life over stock. What effects your battery life from day to day is primarily the days usage.

I get screen times around sometimes more than 8+ hours with normal use ( web not high power consuming thd games)
This kernel supports man adjustments like undervolting and setting the frequencies.
its works with trickstermod which lets you even deactivate some Cores. Im running undervolted, underclocked
With just two cores without lag or something.
Give it a try

All your opinion based on your "said" usage. Fact is I got 9 hours screen time on stock if I kept gameplay out of the equation. So no I'm not saying bullish*t, I'm saying my results. Just because yours differ and you buy into the "custom is always better" doesn't make MY findings on MY device any less true. Can custom be better? Sure, but it's not fact that it is.
And you say you've only had your 7 5 days, definitely NOT enough time to get real results. Especially since you spent 3 days on stock and less than that on Franco your results obviously aren't same usage scenarios.
Clarification: same usage means about same amount of use in same timeframe doing same activity. Which 6½ hours usage over 3 days is not the same as 9 hours in less than 2.

Now that I can finally talk about it (lol), the main thing I have found to be different in 4.2.2, is the battery life. I can EASILY make it through a day and have plenty battery remaining. I have had days where my talk time was around 2.5 hours, and my screen time was 2 hrs, and the battery lasted 17 hours. With medium to heavy use, my battery still easily makes it to 15 - 17 hours. A light use day now can easily have the battery last 24 hours. All in all, the update isn't a major change. There are a few things like the battery charging sound and the quick toggles (long press to do it), but overall the most significant thing the update brings is acceptable battery life. Whereas before, battery life was the Nexus 4's weakness, it is now something of a strength. It's also worth noting that the screen sensitivity issue has been addressed too.

Any news about the data not working when the device is idle for a long time? Or is it me the only one who has it??
Edited for what I assume may be better clarity:
Anyone else experiencing the notification dropdown being... slower? Like they smoothed out the animation of it opening, but now it feels like it takes too long. I liked it being quick before. It seems to be fine if you flick further (than usual for me), but if you do just a really quick flick, it's slower. I don't know how to explain it. I mean it acts like "normal" if you pull it down about half way with your thumb as fast as you want before releasing, but.. that flick man!
I LIKE TO FLICK! =[
Edit #2: Now that I think about it, the notifications feel like they open the way they did when 4.1 first launched, because I remembered them being slower then, too. I got used to it then, but having it the way its been for so long, its annoying to go back.
Also, maybe I'm just crazy.

Now it looks laggy in a way. I doubt it's because I have a lot of notifications loaded up because they were there before the update, too, and I had no problems.
Edit: It will now pull down as fast as you pull it down if you manually drag from the top to the bottom of the screen (i.e. using your finger about half of the way instead of just a quick flick). However, the act of flicking the notification tray down to open it, is slower.

You gotta remember our phones are pretty much tiny laptops. Laptops only have about 4-6 hour battery life's...sure they're a lot bigger so they consume more power...but they also have a much larger battery...so when you scale it down to vivid size, battery life is on par with what a laptop would be
Just food for thought...my work break is over...so back to work for me :/

The battery is a big shock coming from an s2 or whatever

I came from a Samsung infuse...aka the galaxy s 1/2 -battery is about the same for me...which makes me even happier considering my infuse was single core
So no shock for me...but I get what your saying...can take some getting used to if you had a lot and suddenly don't

Airplane mode (I dont care what anyone says) has ALWAYS killed my battery. Try not using it... Might help. I get about 8-12 hour days on my phone and i use it constantly. using data and syncing and playing games... Just gotta set your phone up right
I could always average 12-15 hours with average use. That would consist of snapchatting, temple run, and twitter, I don't know how you would only get 4 hours...

i barely, and i mean BARELY make it through school if i do that. Im pretty sure i have a bad battery though, just dont feel like returning my phone to stock and stuff just so they can look at it. but a bit of temple run is okay for me, but Angry Birds Star Wars hits my battery alot harder. And Black Ops Zombies murders it. even though the controls suck. but yeah black ops zombies is a 3D game
Do you have it currently installed? Because it constantly runs in the background killing your battery.... when I had my phone would last 6 hours till it died. Might be your problem

You probably have an app preventing your phone from going into deep sleep. You may want to look into that...
i get 12hrs easy everyday, this is with 3hrs of pandora in the gym and normal usage, i never complained about battery life

Of Google apps only...

Not just google apps. All applications that can sync (Tumblr, Twitter, Etc.)
Even if it was google apps... Usually those are the reasons for my battery dying Hence why I keep gmaps disabled

Play services kept stopping for me a day after the install... But hell. I dont want everything syncing like crazy
I agree.. And the qualcomm app ended up draining more battery but greenify is helping alot

Hi Guys,
I'm really getting pissed off with the Z1 now.. I use it quite a bit every day and I struggle to get 3-4 hours of screen time.. I'm usually on 50-60% brightness, LTE/Wifi with Stamina mode enabled and I've kept wakelocks to an absolute minimum. How the hell does the LG G2 get 7 hours screen time and not even do this? Is there nothing else I can do to increase screen time?
Thanks
Sean
I'd guess better cpu adjustments..?

Why should I adjust the CPU? Its as it is... I shouldn't have to undervolt or underclock to get better battery life...

Yes it is.. I'm on a custom ROM now and I get 4 hours tops... Stock ROM only gave me 3 hours...

if I don't play games I get 6 hours of screen time... 3g browsing... rarely use lte as 3g is more than enough for me...
If I play heavy games (Asphalt 8) I get 4 hours...
if I under clock to 1.7 ghz I get 4-5 hours of gaming...
my stamina is always on...
you can't compare to LG G2, LG G2 uses a new technology on their battery that extends the life up to 20%... and right now LG G2 has the best battery life out there... and their CPU governor actually under-performs the CPU giving it more battery life... thats why the bench marks scores on LG G2 are lower despite it having the same chipset as the Z1...

you can also check Note 3 forums and see that the battery last roughly about the same as xperia Z1

on average they get about 5-6 hours of screen time, without heavy gaming...
