What do you mean? Since this is a SmartPhone it doesn't have the best life...But I can get a day out of it...Some examples...:
-Dont use full brightness
-Turn off 3g/wifi/bt when not in use
-use setcpu and change min to 245/600 or 245/768
-dont have twitt/fb/blah sync every 1 second only when needed
-turn off b/g data via account & sync
You could always get spare batts from ebay or an ext one

Want great battery life and a stable phone?

Don't use any type of battery monitor, widget or notification.
I was getting good battery life but had a few weird cases of reboots and where the phone would just shutdown and then need battery pull to get back up.
Since I stopped using any type of battery monitor/widget/notification my battery life is much much better (same usage pattern/apps) and I have not had a single reboot or issue.
I just wanted to share this for people having problems. Worth a shot.

There are a number of things that affect this. Most importantly, use CPU spy to check how much time your phone spends at each frequency, or rather in deep sleep. Some monitors in certain settings will keep the phone awake, draining battery.

My AndroidOS wake time is much lower after getting rid of the battery status apps
I use Circle Battery Widget https://market.android.com/details?...oid.CircleBatteryWidget&feature=search_result and it has no noticeable effect on battery life.
I'm using Battery Solo Widget (was using Circle Battery Widget before) and it does not have any noticeable impact on battery life. Right now I'm at 36 hours on battery with 24% left

Do you even power on your phone during the day(s)?
Use airplane mode at night while your u sleep. I lose less than 1%

Well the screen was on for 1 hour and 50 minutes (at max brightness) according to battery stats, so I'm not using it THAT much but the point is that a battery widget doesn't seem to have a big impact on battery life.
I also noticed that if I stop constantly closing applications after using them (by swiping on the ICS task switcher), my battery lasts a little longer

and lose 100% of your incoming calls or texts. good for battery life, not good for anybody who has a job/life that requires constant connectivity.

Yeah this isnt an option, I need to see missed calls and what not
However, when I do not have the androidOS wake bug, if my phone is on wifi I lose ~3-7% overnight, which is good IMO
I went to bed last night with 96% and left everything on and syncing and woke up to 88% so I think I'm content with letting it do it's thing. That was my first night with it so I expect it only to get better.

I suppose if you work 24/7 you are correct. For those of us that don't, airplane mode is a great option. Also Google voice solves the missed call problem - you will be notified by email when you take airplane mode off.

As crappy as the battery life is during daily use...idle at night even with wifi left on and updating turned on its still only about 1% loss per hour...Also running the th3ory axiom roms too if that helps.

What if someone calls you and its an emergency? Like one of your kids calling to say they're stranded somewhere? Still a good idea? Or how about just plug in your phone while you sleep? Brilliant!!!

I run the stock GSM battery, it lasts all day so I have no complaints.
If I had the samsung spare battery w/ charger for business trips i'd be set for those flights and airport waits.

Big tip for better battery life 24+ hours

This is a small easy fix that I use whenever I am trying to conserve my battery on the go. It is very simple I just disable my mobile network/ 3G Data under wireless settings. Using 3G/4G data consumes alot of the battery for some reason I've noticed more drain on 3G. This helps me alot with saving my battery for a day on heavy usage and I can still receive calls and text msgs. Then just use wifi when you browse or simply turn your Data back on. Hope it helps
You'd be better off with an app like "easy battery saver" which turns off your mobile data when your screen is off but still allows you to use the device when you need to without constantly toggling.

i use juice defender ultimate and setcpu to undervolt and set the cpu to 1ghz max. I havent noticed a single hitch, so its worth it for me. Also using Blazer 4.1. i never actually run my battery down since I charge overnight for the next day, but if I were to i could easily get 35+ hours on medium use.
I do that whenever I am in an area with poor signal or roaming. A Sprint phone will eat up battery hunting for 3g signal

whats your screen time? that makes the biggest difference. I went 35 hours and only went down to 51% once, but that was only with about an hour of screen time.
Best jump in battery life I've had it's flashing a modem from the ICS leaks.

I think turning mobile data off at all would be for only extreme cases where I was going to be away from a charger for a crazy amount of time. For me, the use of widgets (google reader, apw facebook and twitter) allow me to turn on my phone, flip to a few home screens, and turn it back off. Screen time for me is always incredibly low, which keeps my battery life high.
I do this when I'm running low on battery with no charging option

Juice Defender set on defaults gives me from 1.60 to 2.07 times normal battery life. I use the default Balanced settings and forget about it.
Works great!!

Best thing I have found is to totally drain battery to the point it the phone will only slightly vibrate. Remove the Battery. Put the battery back in and then fully charge with the phone on charge mode to 100 percent. Unplug. Then plug back in a few seconds later for fully charged to reappear. Done. Really helps to do this once every month or two. Credit to someone on another forum for this tip. Turning off data when not in use and low screen brightness will substantially increase battery life. No syncing, bluetooth or wifi will help. An app called GSam battery monitor will identify apps that suck battery. I use longevity by trend micro to shut my data off.

Fully draining a lithium ion battery will significantly decrease it's lifespan. Any positive effects you see from this are probably not measurable, or scientifically reproducible. Your other tip is solid, disabling data (or using an app to do so) greatly increases battery life. As well as turning down the brightness.

Had no idea this practice decreases lifespan of the battery. Good to know. I thought the this resets the phone ability to recharge the battery to the fullest. That's what I thought. I seem to be getting some benefit.

Battery lifespan for lithium ion batteries is measured on how many cycles its been through (hits 100%). If you go from 90% to 100%, you just used up a battery cycle. Even 99% to 100% counts as a cycle.
The method you described in your earlier post is for conditioning your battery, it works on older batteries but is not needed for lithium or poly lithimer batteries.
Tips for battery life, disable radios and keep screen dim. A dark wallpaper helps too, white screens are a battery drainer!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Get a app that disables other apps that start up on system boot-up or other events. Autostarts its a good app I use. As you all should know dont use app-killers unless u know how and when to use them (READ). Like said keep ur screen dim or on auto if u have that issue like me were ur constantly going in n out at work and find ur phone too dim for daylight. The darker your themes the better battery life. Remember that ur screen is one of the top (if not the top) battery drainers. Data, wifi, gps, bluetooth, auto-sync, running widgets, live wallpapers...if you dont need it on or could live without it, then either turn it off or get rid of it.
Also like said before, lithium-ion batteries dont suffer from memory effect like older rechargable batteries. If you could avoid it, dont run ur battery all the way down. Be free to charge ur battery as often as possible and that way you extend the life of ur battery.

Use the lowested sync frequency setting you can or manally sync. Wifi tether guzzles juice. Live wallpaper is a killer. Make task killing a subconscious reflex. The smaller the number is next to "running in background" also makes for more time away from an outlet. Of course these may not help any one else, but it works for me
Fully charge 2 batteries. Unlimited talk and text. True story

I run the ParanoidAndroid 2.51 rom (10/24) with the KKO kernel and it goes pretty good so far. It may be the first day of using it but I will expectedly average 20hours of use on it. (using the live wallpaper phase beam the whole time). Used the wheatly governor with SIO and changed the max cpu to about 1028 so its only using 1Ghz. (seem to get decent battery life)

Battery of the Gnex

So I bought a gnex a while ago, and the battery doesn't last very long.
Since I'm new in all of this I don't really know if it's normal and if it is what can I do to make it last longer?
My phone lasts about 10 hours with 3G and less than 2 hours of screen on..
It's the Google one which comes with 1750mAh standard battery. I thought of buying 2100 one but it seems very expensive unlike the bigger ones..
It costs around 35$ on ebay..
Also, can I use the Verizon or sprint batteries? From what I understand the official Samsung extended battery for Google nexus is 2000mAh? Why isn't it 2100 like Verizon?
So.. What should I do?
Thank you for your answer in advance!
My battery sucks as well I'm blaming the 4.2.1 update for making a bad battery even worse. Also the Verizon nexus is LTE enabled so its battery is even worse hence the bigger extended battery and even at stock the Verizon version has a bigger battery, the Verizon extended battery is not compatible with your Gsm nexus.

How much more battery time would the 2000mAh extended battery give me? Is it worth the 35$?
If not, what should I do?

To cure your problem. ....
New device for first time comes to life doesn't have calibration set by OP system. .....
So first charge your phone to full and go beyond warning to charge and go down to 3-4 % remaining charge then plug to charge and charge without stopping to 100%
And do 2-3 times like this then your battery discharge will show properly
Also good habits are to use .....
Hold home button for 2-3 second and open little bottom screen click on bottom left and choose ram.....then clear ram....any time you going to idle and each time you going to charge. .....to find more about what this do search XDA .....
Also there is many hungry apps on market that runs under ground all the time. ....so learn and discover how to take control of your phone and make it run like champion
#2 you can use ES task manager to do some fine tuning to get the most juice of your battery
#3 Better battery stats
#4 Battery booster
#5 Juice defender. .....are some alternative to top of the iceberg on your solution. ....or you can take time and learn to do all this by yourself manually

Is everyone who posted on LTE or just hspa+, 2g etc?
I notice a big improvement ( like another person mentioned in another thread) when lte is off. My speedtest results between lte and hspa were the same download speeds but lte had better upload by two megabit.
battery life for me is great, then again im coming from an htc amaze lol. That battery suuuucked.
update
I did a few more tests w speed test.net and noticed that when on HSPA plus and not on LTE I actually get faster download speeds. On LTE it was 8 to 10 megabits the last 24 hours and now HSPA plus I'm getting 18 to 21 megabit down. Anyone know why this might be?

you could be right.
the representative told me LTE was in New York City but as we know they know nothing... its still weird that when the phone is set to LTE auto he gets slower speeds than one connected on HSPA plus.
