i listen to music for around 4 hrs, i msg frequently, i take pics,only 2G, wifi for an hour, no gps, no mobile data.

I've noticed that if I am busy and I don't have time to play to much with Defy (using it mostly for his basic function = mobile phone) the battery can least over 4 days with moderate use (talk time around 40 minutes). I generally keep it on 2G network mode as the 3G coverage on my current carrier is not so god and I use the internet/data connection on Defy only on demand. The screenshot below was taken on CM7 beta 6.
1 hour usage can drain as much battery as 20 hours standby. So "battery life" can hardly be comparable even with slight difference in usage pattern. Maybe how long 1% battery can last on average is more comparable.
In my case 1% battery can standby 1~2 hours, or use (call, video, game...) 3~7 minutes. I was actually recording battery level/time with pen and paper but not by impression. And I don't notice big differences among roms, including orange, finland, noric, hk/tw, or cm7.
And I noticed that after using the 720p recording patch to record video (in other stock roms, not cm7), battery would be drained at 4% every hour standby.
3 hrs of GPS tracking, screen off, 3G always on:
100% to 70%
Hi !
With rooted froyo (the official one from Orange France), SetvSel to undervolt the proc (vsel3 : 52V @ 1000 MHz, lowering by 2V the others vsel), i could go for more than 26hrs with one charge.
Now with cm7 nightly from 01/06 n°0114 (which by the way works like a charm and was really easy to install even for a noob like me), no undervolting at all, 9hrs drained 35% of the battery (with a more intense use I must recognize), which leads to a little less than 26hrs.
I will try to undervolt it, but I definitely think I will get a better battery saving with cm7 !
It's terrible to see that with some little tweaks, cm7 moto defy beats the stock one.
I consider that I paid moto enough that they can provide these tweaks by default in their product, it doesnt cost much time (in my case less than an hour) and it benefits a lot.

wipe battery stats after flashing a ROM..read few post above to know how to do it..
turnoff wifi,3G,gps,bluetooth and mobile data when u r not using..these consume battery alot!
or else use apps like juicedefender or green battery app to do it automatically..
reduce screen brightness or keep it in auto brightness mode..it will save alot of battery
task killers might help..some people says..but i think it consumes more battery then it gives
avoid using live wallpaper..i know it looks gr8..but its not gud for ur battery
try these and report here..
All the best
my battery uses is not normal
help!!!

sorry for it is chinese version
hope all can identify the icons

Hello
I have new Samsung Galaxy S4 I9195, and everything will be ok, if the battery life will live more then a day. First few days the battery life was around 2days. Yesterday i plug off from charger (i only charge when it drop abut 15-10% to 100%). I go sleep with about 70% battery, and in the morrning what was my suprise when the battery was below 45%. What the **** i mean.
And i looking for the suff about the cell standy and i dont know what to do.
I find something like that:

I use only 2G and in home i have always wifi turn on. As you can see in 15min phone eat 2% from battery when i write this post.
Phone is 90% time in one place where signal power is-73dBm 20asu
Whats the problem ?
I find this normal, 15 min - 2% (depends on what you are doing) i suggest you to turn your phone off when you are sleeping.
if i use chrome for like 5 min it drains 1/2 %
candy crush 10 mins drops 3/4 %
i have 17/18 applications so, it also depends on how many apps you have.
more apps is more battery use
so dont worry
Edit)
and 2% drain for posting this?
your lucky bro, my phone will drain probably 3/4 % (not sure)
@lgorek, to have some hints, read all this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380723&highlight=drain
It could be a bug in the stock ROM. arco68 seems to have fixed it in his custom stock kernel :

For 99% there is problem for now i test it and search of the bug.
I notice that when i restart phone when is charging or after charge the battery life is at normal drop, BUT when battery drop to 10% i plug the charger and it reach 100%. Something is not working fine becouse the cell standaby power drain more battery.
I give more info in few day i will have more photos and you can see it.
dsavard i will check it, but first i test like i write up.
I have installed Cyanogenmod in my S4 Mini Duos and everything works great but... my battery is draining so fast! From what I've seen, the major battery drainer is the "Standby Cell", as it takes out from 20 to 30% of all the energy of my phone. My cellphone's battery life was lasting 2 days when using stock Android, now it only lasts 20 hours. One thing to note is that: when in airplane mode, the battery lasts much longer, but I don't want to always keep switching the airplane mode on and off during all the day.
Any possible solutions on this?
Anyone?
I don't know no how many of you guys are facing this issue but earlier I was able to get 7 to 8 hours of screen on time and my battery was not drained by cell standby but now the battery is draining very fast and I am only able to get 4 to 5 hours of screen on time and the horrible thing is is when I check battery usage then the cell standby drain is higher than screen on time help me please I always look for you guys for help . Any help will be appreciated thank you in advance
Hey, what is your reception like? Are you using 4G?
