How is the battery life of stock att it's? I personally like ics and wish to fastboot it...

I have Holoblur .9x and I find the battery life to be excellent.
I'm on stock ICS. I wasn't happy with battery life before the EB40 mod. I'm a light user and could barely make the day. Now, LTE, bluetooth and WiFi make a big difference, and I always have them on.
I agree with both previous comments. I'm in holoblur and I think the battery is pretty good too.
For the stock ICS, the batt life is not as great but you could use apps like Juice Defender to maximize the battery life.
(I use juice defender with holoblur for even better life.)

Ever since I did the MAXX mod, battery life has never bothered me on any ROM.
I suggest you do the same.
I keep my WiFi, LTE, GPS,Bluetooth on all the time nowadays and still easily get more than a days usage

anything safe to flash yet regarding increase of battery life? Ill be working 8-5 one day throwing in some internet use and texting here and there. By the time i reach 9 or 10 oclock ill be near 30-25 % maybe less. Is that normal?

Yeah that sounds about right. I haven't seen anything in regards to increased battery life, though.

I haven't seen any increase with Monster ROM. I'm like you, i take my phone off the charger when I head for work and at night when I put it back on its around 30%
I have the extended battery and I'm running Monster Rom 1.1k
And just to test the battery life I unplugged it before I went to sleep when it was at 100%, after sleeping for 7 hours the battery had only dropped to 94%, and I've been using it fairly heavily for the past 6 hours and it's only at 71% now.
reallly? Thats interesting jerm. My buddy has been on the monster 1.1k and hes obsessed with it lol. Im personally a steel fan but thats just me. I think this is the fastest rom out yet. Its like lightning speed. But havent really noticed anything in regards to battery. Another buddy of mine has the droid 2 and his battery will last over 24 hours.. i dont kno what hes runnin with currently but why not us :/

I got the extended battery from verizon when I bought the phone, I usually get almost 2 days (~40 hrs) with moderate use.
I'm 32 minutes from charge and down to 80%. Screen is on auto and I'm on wifi on xda and other sites. Too me the battery life I very bad.

Im running steel and i have noticed a significant increase in both speed and battery life. Usualy have to charge halfway through a workday, now it will last all day and still be over 55%

yeah for me steel seems to increase battery by a little, not by alot. People have been telling me monster increases by alot but i tried myself and i didnt notice anything significant

I can typically get about 18-24hours out of mine,
Default battery,
Im running steel droid v3. Remember too, darker or black themed things will help save your battery too. Blacks will straight up not illuminate the pixels. I've noticed though... ridiculous battery drops when I record video... like 7mins of recorded dropped me down from 35% to 14% battery... is that normal? Or is there a camera hack that would improve that kind of consumption?

Hmm.. well seiryu. Thats not normal. My assumption for that dramatic decrease is the fact that your battery is allready low anyways and the video use is prolly killin it alot more because your phone wants to save battery when it is really low. For example. Have you ever noticed how your phone acttually takes longer to drop 10% if your actually at 10%? If you were at 70% lets say. It will drop faster from 70 to 60 than it will 10 to 0. I know if i watch youtube videos when i have like 30 or less it drops really fast. Try recording video on a somewhat fully charged phone and see if that helps. Give me feedback!

It's not an amoled display, the screen is illuminated no matter the colour of the theme, and usually the lcd displays are requiring more power to filter the light.
So on an LCD a luminous theme is more battery saver, than a dark one. Anyway the difference is probably very tiny.
If I charge the battery at night it is fine until next night. I guess it is enough for me but I am waiting eagerly to get an extended battery.
Try out Liberty 1.2. I am getting better battery life than Steel. On extended battery, it has been 23 hours off he charger and still has over 60% left with moderate usage. I am very happy with Liberty.
2 days for normally use,
Yeah.. liberty rom all the way for battery life. Iv'e been unplugged for 14 hours. Throwing in texting a fairly decent amount and also some app/internet use and im literally at 49%.. LIBERTY FTW
** also im not using extended battery

Anybody notice any changes as far as battery life. I just wanna know because im currently using a 1800 mAh battery (lost original battery) from ebay and they don't longer then stock. If you see any major changes i might just buy an OEM battery.
I did notice an increase in battery life when I upgraded to 2.3.5. I am a heavy user of my phone on a daily basis and it last about 5-6 hours longer from my experience.
Switching to V20p showed a very noticeable increase in battery life for myself.

The battery life has improved so much, I'm not getting the extended battery. Maybe a couple of regular batteries as the improvement easily takes my phone all day. Before update, it would only last 4-5 hours with usage.
I have to agree battery life has increased by quite a bit. My wife was getting severely pissed off at this phone because of battery life and other Froyo glitches and since updating she has yet to have any issues and stopped complaining about battery drain. Ahh the relief of not having to hear about how she hates the phone and wants it replaced Now lol. Hopefully we get to see ICS eventually, not that I am counting on it anytime in the near future and most likely not at all but still it's a nice thought lol.
better definitely. Not as good as the Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate battery life though. Can't believe how much that one improved with the gingerbread update.
Had anyone else been seeing strange issues on the Rogers gingerbread update Ruth the battery stats? This morning after an hour off the charger battery was at 88% when viewing the battery usage it showed 15s on battery and that the only thing using it was the display and the percent was 165% I have a screen cap to upload later to show it.

Thanks I'm advanced

How bad is the battery life? How about the camera?
You cant remove the extra "add screen" feature.
Battery life is decent.
Goto your apps and look for SmartActions and enable Battery extender. It helps a whole lot.
Juice Defender works very well on this phone.

Battery is acceptable. It gets through the day using it pretty heavy. SmartActions Battery Extender works well. Combine with Juice defender and I can last a day and a half with no charge.
Camera is a little weak. It's about the same as the Atrix 2.
The screen makes the pictures look great, then they look washed on the PC.

How is your device set up to save battery life? Since the battery isn't the greatest in the Atrix HD I'd like to know what other people are doing to save battery using Smart Actions. Even though I'm planning on putting the EB40 battery into my Atrix I'd still like to save as much battery life as possible as I do a lot of heavy usage.

on the home screen, I have the ICS widget where you can disable wifi/bluetooth/gps/sync/screen
I do it manually but with the MAXX battery, the screen is now at it's highest setting.
by the way, I had a 3GS before and the battery wasn't better/worst than on the AHD

How is your battery life going with the EB40 battery? Would you say using Smart Actions diminishes the battery life? I'd think it'd cause a lot of wakelocks especially with screen off profiles.

to be fair, I would say that using the EB40 battery, I don't even think about it. I goes 3 days without recharge with my light-to-medium usage.
so super-optimizing the power consumption is a non-issue.
I enabled some smart actions to extend battery life. Under heavy usage phone is dead in 4 hours. Light usage can get me thru the day.

I've got an interesting setup going that worked really well on ICS. A reverse battery extender profile that activated on screen off that changes timeout to 15 seconds and disables GPS and background sync and a light and dark profile that adjusts the brightness according to the time of day and raises the timeout to 10 minutes so I'm not worried about the screen shutting off when I'm doing something on the phone. The new background sync thing with jellybean only enables syncing when you're using an app that requires it. Saved me loads of battery life in the long run allowing me to use my phone heavily all day without worrying about it dying on me. I'm hardly ever home so going a full day without a charge is a must for me.

What rom has the best battery life? Looking for a touchwiz based rom.. I had Alliance ICS Rom and battery was pretty good, now I have Ultimate JB rom and my battery life is pretty horrible. Phone died yesterday after a few hrs and being at half charge.

What AA said.
Anyway, battery life has nothing to do with Rom. It depends on
1) kernel
2) apps/syncs you are running
3) modem

Are you talking about TW based JB rom? If yes, then all the TW based leaked roms almost have same battery life AFAIK..you can try the new leak which eybee posted today..OR better option would be to stay on the same rom which you are on now & remove all the bloatware..u can see battery lasting longer than now
I have bought a high capacity Gold Battery 3500 mAh (Ecell - GOLD 3500MAH BUSINESS BATTERY) , and that made the difference. From 1: 30 screen time to 4 hours. It is very cheap and works really good.
So, in my case every JB ROM was very similar at the time of battery life. Looking at the Accessory thread I found good reviews of this battery, so I just ordered in Ebay . and I am very happy now. It is incredible for me to go to bed with almost 50% of battery after a heavy day usage.
