That's pretty darn good!!
With my Droid 1 and Droid Bionic I got in the habit of rebooting every day or so just because it seemed to make them run better. On my Galaxy Nexus I don't have to do that, but not because the phone's OS is so stable. What gets me is the frequent updates of roms, kernels and such. I am constantly flashing something new.
Yours has to be some sort of record - I would think.
Wow, I usually have an uptime of 1-2 days as I keep flashing new ROMs and kernels frequently. But it's great to see that the Galaxy is stable enough to last for 6 weeks.

Mine does the same. Think it is because of a memory leak in system_server that takes about 10 days to reach critical levels. Or it is just a coincidence.
The Galaxy S from my girlfriend isn't rebooted since July or so. Running CM7.
I have to reboot often because of flashing new things. I have ODR.

until this time, my uptime is 44 days 6 hours 6 minutes and 3 seconds
have a screenshot but the forum don't allow me to link since i have less than 8 posts.
anyway, it is a true story
Maximum 2 days for me I think. Because of freezing touch screen, randomly reboots and some days I need restart to get any connection. A really awful phone this Nexus! I hope the 4.0.4 fix these problems, if it will not... I will need to choose a different phone, this it's not reliable enough.

Hey guys, I have a question...its kinda off-topic and...dumb. The GSM version is the "normal" Nexus or the 4G LTE Nexus?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
3hrs 30min of screen on time, and your phone was awake like 90% of the battery cycle. That's pretty much normal...
You were actively heavily using your phone for hours at a time. What the hell did you expect?
I have no complaints. On this charge I did a bunch of reading with Aldiko, playing with Maps and Earth, and some Flick Golf and a bunch of text messages. I don't think I had a single phone call. Screen on time was just over 3 hours. At this rate I could get an entire 24 hours on a single charge.

Mine's the best I've had on an Android phone, my Optimus 3D used to last around 8 hours, my desire around 10, my G1 around 18 (this shows how I use it and what I have running).
The GN lasts around 24 hours, in fact, since I got it around 3 weeks ago I've only been in the red twice.
I went out for my sons 2nd birthday 2 weeks ago, from 10AM until 3PM I was filming a LOT (including using the light when indoors) as well as taking photos. by 4PM it was still at 50%
and I'm loving how quick it charges!
Also, takes me around 1-1.5 hours to full charge...but I am not using the bundled adapter though...
The battery is definitely way way way better than the Optimus 3D.

1.5 hours seems to be normal! take me that long from about 10% to 100% via AC
My last phone took me 2-3 hour for a FULL CHARGE. I think my GN cannot be charged completely.

3 hours of screen on time with basically zero other usage other than what appears to be a few minutes of some motorcycle game?
Are you just turning your screen timeout to infinite, turning the phone on, and letting it sit to see how long it goes?
Wow, that's pretty good. You could theoretically get ~6 hours screen time with the entire battery which was unheard of prior to 4.0.4. I believe it was generally accepted that approximately 4 hour screen time is usually the max.

THAT is the actual battery improvement, the phone itself uses like next to none to run now, only the screen draining. I went from around 25% Android OS to like 3-4% (as well as other core apps went down).
I use my phone extensively (although no games), and my screen % is like 75-80% (at 95% of the time being minimum brightness [5])

Android OS used 3-4% before the update as well. The ~25% was a bug in AOSP 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. It just showed high use, but wasn't actually draining that much.
No story here. Just a fixed bug.

I'd think that a lot of this power savings comes from not using the LTE modem and just using CDMA. But I'm probably wrong. Makes me wish the 4.0.4 update would arrive here.

I'm seeing modest improvements:
autobrightness, 2h music, 4h 3g data, rest of wifi, stock kernel, interactive 350-1200
This is pretty good for stock kernel compared to 4.0.2 . It's slightly better than what I usually get with imo's kernel on 4.0.2

This is what I got after using it for watching a lot of videos on youtube, take some pictures/1080p video, listen to music and some web browsing over wifi. Not data connection and brightness in automatic ( used it indoors and outdoors )
4 hours screen time I think its pretty decent, its almost what I used to get with my galaxy note.
So very impressed with the battery, becouse I always heard that it sucked. Whats more, I already bought one 2000mA becouse of these comments. I guess I will get even better battery life then

I actually waited about two weeks to root it. I had came from the Kyocera Rise on VM where mucking around with Pimp my ROM bricked it, and with no custom recovery or unlocked boot loader in sight its still that way.
I just wanted to be sure my bases were covered with custom recoveries and restoring methods before I dove in.
