My Battery Life WOW! *Pic for Proof*

Using Myn's ROM with the Battery Tweak, I have FaceBook syncing and I have 2 gmail accounts syncing along with Weather every 3 hours, Facebook every 2 hours.
Nothing else as of now and using Itching Thumb App.

Not needed. From the pic he attached it's obvious the phone was in standby most of the time.

Man, you even use ya phone?
What is with this obsession of battery life goin on 'round here? I say, as long as you can get better battery life than a stock rom, you've won. Keeping the phone on for a day or two without charging seems like a good idea, but everyday isn't the same, and one day you may need to use it way more than any other day..if you start that day off with only 30% just because you wanted to see how long your battery would last, then you really gotta limit how often you use your phone just so that it can make it till the next time your around a charger.

I agree, but it want a heavy day. When I finally did have 14% left and used tv flash battery seasoned super fast. I forgot, I'm using juice defender too

The battery needs to be charged? I bought my phone back in June. The battery is now at 70%. I figured I just had to buy a new one when this one runs out.

Barely used phone. Come on.

Display 4%? Is that possible?

I can go a full day and a half, 36 hours, without a charge and I am using the original sense android... and I use my phone normally, I text, read usatoday, tmz, check email a few times, use the xda app... and I have wifi on all the time! What's this beef with battery life on these forums? Mine lasts forever! I just have things update manually, I don't let anything run without my permission.
I do, however, turn my phone off the 6 hours I am sleeping.

wifi is on = low battery usage, atleast in my experience.

Indeed. I got 1 day and 19 hours on stock nonrooted 2.2 back. and i used it for some medium texting. and some gps applications...maybe 2-3 hours max awake time. i dont think you used it much...the excessive 3G usage from FB doesnt mean anything.

You should be able to get what you're looking for from the Spare Parts app.

According to my calculation thats is 69min of display usage.

According to mine, it's 122 min of screen on usage.
I had this scenario on my phone running myn's rls2 + king cfs #11 yesterday:
since unplugged - 24 hours
display on - 1 hour 25 minutes
charge remaining - 50%.

so i wanted to find out how long the battery would last on standby, and to my surprise.. it turned out to be nearly 58 hrs!!! that was on stock sense rom. non-rooted. and of course with very very minimal use. i basically just left the phone alone on my desk or in my pocket all day.
here is the screenshot i took back in july:
but that kind of battery life is unrealistic with normal usage. I am a moderate user (on the higher side), and i typically put my evo on charge everyday in the morning when i get to work (on weekdays). so, the charge on my phone lasts about 25 hrs with normal usage, that usually means about 4-5hrs of Awake Time. this is after rooting the phone. and i am using a stock rooted sense rom. i have had similar results before rooting the phone as well.
on weekends, i find myself charging the phone about 3 times (over 2 days), as the usage of the phone goes very very high.
i have a charger on my desk at work for the weekday charging, and a charger in my car for the weekends.
i have recently installed setCPU, and havent really seen that making too much of a difference, but that perhaps has to do with my usage pattern.
as pointed out in many a threads, signal strength is one major factor when it comes to battery drain. i live in Atlanta and i have great Sprint coverage where I am located, and that makes a world of difference.

it would help if you indicate the battery life that you were getting on stock or any other rom you were using prior to this. because there are so many variables that come into play as far as battery life is concerned. so that will help put your claim into some perspective

hahah.. funny

Not impressed with 60 Dollar seido "extended" battery..

I sure hope this fairs better in the next week or two. I hardly used the phone, streamed about 30 mins of slacker.com and didn't make more than 10 phone calls and 2 texts.

If it was only one of the 1750mah batterys then you really should've done a bit more research, 3rd party batteries typically only have ~80% of the capacity they are rated at giving you ~1400mah or quite a bit less than the stock battery.

it was a 3300 mah battery

I've never had any issue with battery life with my epic. I charge it every ngiht and it's good to go.

I like my Seidio 3300 mah battery a lot. It allows me to stream for several hours along with my normal usage (a call, couple of txt, beluga, facebook, & tapatalk). Did you let it sit fully charged for a few additional hours on the initial charge?

Its gingerbread, not the battery.

Should have gotten the $20 one from Ebay. Works just as good as the Seido.

No it absolutely doesn't.
The 20 dollar one on ebay constantly goes to "low battery" dies and then when you reboot the phone it has 40+ % battery left. That thing is junk!

Not the one I got. From a US seller with extra data cable and extended back was like $23 and it does double what the stock battery does. Got 1 for each of my 2 phones. I can get you the link if you want.

What are you talking about? I bought mine for like 14 dollars and its been rock solid for months without a single one of those things ever happening. I also started a thread in the accessory section which has been there for months and not one person has posted issues like that.

You probably should have went with the $20 Yoo Bao 2800mah. I get over 24 hours with 3g on all day and more usage than you.

Got my 3500 battery for about 10 bucks. Lasted about 17 hours with 40% left before I charged it on monday.

I get well over 24 hours with my Seidio 3300, without turning off Wifi, or doing any special techniques to save battery.
Give it a chance. If I remember right, first charge kinda sucks, but 2nd and third improve a lot.

The 2.3 leak is HORRIBLE on battery life. There are complaints of CPU usage constantly, plus we don't know what processes can be killed yet.

Good, back to 2.2 I go

Fyi I'm on acs rom 2.2 and the seido isn't impressive. It absolutely wouldn't last a full day with 4g on much less just 3g with pandora etc. I did all the charging etc etc. Only reason I sprang for the seido is bc sprint paid for it. Maybe I would of done the yao bao batt but honestly I don't think it matters. I have set cpu to 200-800 and never with this phone has the battery been amazing with any rom or any kernal. Just the nature of the beast.

1 Day 10 Hrs (34 hrs) Battery Life

First things first: A BIG thank you to all of the devs still working on the Epic. This phone is not that old and I still think (because of the keyboard) it's a great phone that I'll enjoy for all of the 2 years I'll have with it. Fortunately, there are others who think this, too and put in the time and effort to make this already great phone better for FREE. I'm not a developer, but I do know it takes a lot of time/dedication to accomplish what they have. So thank you to all of the developers (present & past) for the Samsung Epic 4g
Hello, I'm a lurker none of you know but would like to share my results dealing with battery life on EH06
This is the best battery life I've ever gotten and I have no doubt that I could've reached 1 Day 12 Hrs (36 Hrs) of battery life. A day and a half, I guess I should've waited and let it run out, but my impatience got the best of me.
What I did was flash crawj's EH06 deodexed .tar
I flashed theduce102's (EH06) Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1
I then flashed deano0714's Sculpted v2
I was using the EH06 Modem
Auto-Sync was left on the entire time. Twitter/Facebook sync every 4 hours, contact sync left on.
Brightness left on "auto"
Wifi is left on always, at least until I was out of range.
Personally, I highly recommend juice defender. It'll turn off your data when the screen is not in use which saves a LOT of battery. Sure you could turn it on and off yourself but it's just much easier to use juice defender and have the data turned on for 30s/1min then left off for 30 minutes. 30 minutes is the max for the free version, but I still find it useful.
Take into consideration that I did NOT use my phone a lot.
My usage consisted of about 5 texts/hr, few downloaded apps/updates, few email checks, couple hours of listening to music, 20 minutes on Dolphin Browser HD.
If there's anything else you want to know about my setup, let me know and I'll update the OP.
The colors in the pics are inverted, most likely because of the screen cap app I used

I also got 35+ hrs on EH06 deodexed with the EH06 plus kernel. It was pretty amazing... Didn't take any screenshots though...

A year ago on Eclair it lasted 2.5 days. Complete stock, no root.

this is all nice but I've kinda never understood the point in having a smartphone if you're going to have data shut off the majority of the time. of course most battery life is demanded by data - I'm willing to bet I could get several days of battery life from any build if I put my phone into airplane mode all day but what's the point?

I feel the same way. I used to be obsessed with keeping my data off as much as possible. Then I realized....what's the point. The whole purpose of having a smartphone is to be connected all the time. I say keep your data on and use your device how its meant to be and enjoy it.

yes. plus where are these people that they can't access a wall socket or power cable for days at a time? I can get 14-16 hours with moderate usage by leaving everything turned on. then when I'm home where all those power sources are, I, you know, plug the damn thing in.

What's ridiculous is that these people never made or received a single phone call in 1 to 2 days. WTF? Why did you buy a phone? Go get yourself a Palm Pilot.

I hear ya. I usually get between 10-12 hrs of moderate to heavy use. If your that worried about it bring an extra battery with you. Shoot I carry or have quick access to an extra battery and a charging cable most places I go. I usually don't have to use it, but its there in case I need it.
@OP, were not trying to derail your achieving over a day of battery life, that's sweet that you can get that. I'm just questioning the usefulness of said achievment.

And screen on time....sorry OP but what was the screen on time. Maybe a little over an hour? I saw a lot of gaps on chart.
Having said all of that, that is still pretty good standby time for a GB leak. I've gotten 1 day plus 3 hrs with everything running before. But that's with srf 1.2 and with hardly any use...plus wifi.

I like this post I had my phone shut off on my yesterday at 4pm and it was full at 8am when i took it off the charger. Didnt do much of anything it somehow jumped from 50 to 25 all by itself. Im on genocide 1.1 and srf 1.2

Whoa, sometimes by phone stats go crazy, but that one on the right is strange. Probably need to hit a few cycles to get the stats accurate.

Is it normal to see an uptick in battery even if the device is not plugged in to recharge? I'm guessing this might iron out after the battery stabilizes a bit, but I am definitely noticing that after use, if I leave the tablet on the table unplugged and return to it a while later, the battery reads (sometimes significantly) higher than when I left it. Battery history also shows a rise as well. I just think it's strange, as the unit was not actually plugged in or charging during that period.

My old phone used to mess with the stats. Let it run out of juice, charge full up with the device off, unplug, turn on and you'll have fresh battery stats.

From SlashGear Review
http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-7-2013-review-29292015/
Google quotes up to nine hours of HD video playback or up to ten hours of web-browsing from a full charge. Our own testing suggests these are pretty accurate estimates; with heavy use, including Netflix media streaming over WiFi, push email and social networking turned on, some photography, and browsing, we managed almost nine hours of use before the 2013 Nexus 7 ran out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try it and see how it goes. I have gotten excellent battery life out of the original Nexus 7, so I'm hoping for similar performance on the new one.

have any of you guys run into the battery with exclamation mark @ 0%? I plugged it in and i'm getting nothing to indicate charge is going up. If i turn off the tablet, the charge indicator works and it's charging. after a few hours though, the charge progress is still the same (starting from zero). any ideas?
thanks!

Is anyone having Google services cause serious idle battery drain? It has to be caused by some Google app I have installed. I want to start fresh with an aosp ROM and install one app at a time. Anyone have any experience with Google services causing lots of battery drain?

Btw That was an old screenshot I just had in my gallery from not long after I got the phone.

Ive gotten 34 hours out of it so far im really impressed

I have the moto Maxx, Mexican firmware. I´m from Argentina.
Could you tell me guys the version and the baseband of yours?
Because it seems that the latin america version the battery is barely poor.
Thanks!

Damn... Going beast mode with this battery. Would've gone longer, but gotta use it more tomorrow when I'm out. Ya, I know I only have 4hrs of SOT. Haven't been using much

I assume anyone getting more than 48 hours of battery life is turning off data, or at least disabling updates/background data. Just out of curiosity, do you always keep that turned off, or do you just do that when you're seeing how much you can squeeze out of the battery? In my mind, the big reason to get a device with a big battery is so you don't have to baby the battery like that.
