You charged your phone almost to full.
There is no best rom. Every device is different.

you really have to experiment.
I've had a lot of luck with the Trinity Kernel on either AOKP or RAScream.
slimics with franco kernel

Slim rom
I'm running default kernel and LOVING THIS ROM.
i'm able to get a combined 12 hours standby time with 4+ hours screen on time on either AOKP or Liquid. Kernels don't seem to change much there.

Why don't you make a list of each rom you want to try, then take the time to flash each one and run each for about a week. Since battery life and performance is directly related to each users set up and personal style of use. This way in about 4 or 5 weeks you can actually make a determination on your own as to what is best for you.

In the middle of the graph, it goes from red all the way up to ~85%. The green bar below the graph also shows how long it's been charging which is DEFINITELY not 30 seconds.
best battery life is very subjective to the user. and remember that the display on this phone is power hungry to say the least. i hope that very soon all phones will come out with non removable batteries. people that need extra power can carry a portable power pack instead of an extra battery. and for those who complain about the longevity of the battery have obviously never used a phone with built in battery or done their research and are simply relying on that crutch of being able to swap the battery just because they can.
WOW...anyway....my point when i started this was that no one can tell you what works best for you...you have to figure that out on your own.

So your phone magically regained battery life?
You can clearly see the green charging bar in the middle, not to mention the fact that battery graphs don't go up by themselves.
I was using BlackICE 37 w/ the newest Air Kernel for a while and was experiencing some really good battery life!
I then tried Slim ROM with the same kernel and the battery life was ok...I'm now using the Samurai Kernel and I'm liking it!
Sorry no screenshots, but I have had 17hrs at 50% (about 7hrs were standby cuz I was asleep and didn't plug my phone in to charge over night!)
I'm on AOKP and Franco kernel its pretty good for me, I'm not getting 36 hours a charge but its better than put of the box.

No I'm sorry if you took my comment as being strong, I was just trying to give you and whomever else some advice. Yes people can share what they like and what combinations they are using but again each users setup and each users personal style of utilizing their phone will be the final determining factor as to what is best for them.

is in fact what I would do with this thread is to gather a bit 'of screen and then publish them on the start page so as to assist new users in selecting the ROM according to their needs, then of course every result will be based on usage of 'but if you can get many statistics can make an average of everyone!

How important is battery calibration using the apps in the market? This whole past week has been a flashing frenzy I'm sure for many of you, without a real break to calibrate battery before you flashed the next newest release.
I've lasted the same rough battery life without wiping batt stats, using a battery calibration app or cycling to 0% and all seems fine, so I'm wondering what the importance of it is.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Just use the phone and charge the battery as needed. These batteries don't need calibrated. I have 3 and charge them all differently and they all get the same type of life.
But when you flash a rom be sure to give it time like 2-3 days before you judge battery life sometimes old battery stat files stick after flashing so make sure you calibrate these batteries as least once a month.
I use Battery Calibration everytime I flash a new rom... Isn't that what we are suppose to do?
Yes u should calibrate.. for example using stock roms for weeks I never calibrated.. got 16 hours. Flashed juggernot and beast mod got the same battery life because I didn't calibrate.. after running beast for 2 days I did my first calibration and a day later I was pushing 30 hours on one charge.
After u flash a new rom or kernel you should calibrate

Wtf? So what's happening? Is my phone ACTUALLY going to zero or its assuming i've hit zero after (X) hours? Once I calibrate, the phone should know that I haven't burned as much as it thought?
And this is after EVERY rom flash? Gets tedious?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Okay, no wonder why. Thanks for letting me know!
You're just calibrating efficient usage of power..
If you're battery is used to giving crappy life even on a great battery rom it'll drain quickly

Clockwork mod recovery. for rooted devices, power phone off, hold volume up and down then with power button and release when you see the Samsung logo.
You must have installed clockwork recovery to have this work, find instructions in the Android development sections.

sgs tools does that work on this phone anyone know? Easy app to wipe battery stats
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Screw calibrating and screw wiping battery stats. Use your phone as you normally do and battery life will maximize on its own with a couple charge cycles anyways. If you have battery life issues its much more likely to be an application, rom or kernel issue.... when all else fails then look to calibration or wiping of battery stats.
If you don't agree then feel free to waste your time calibrating every time you flash a new rom.

can you tell me where you bought your batteries from? I've been looking on the web (ebay) but there's so many varieties and the prices differ widely from $10 for 3 to $40 for one. i don't want to spend too much money on extra batteries but i also don't want to get a cheap one that will mess up my phone either.

So... what does this program actually do then?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Does it basically do what we do in CWM?
I flashed Paul's 4.0.4 ROM a few days ago and my battery life has greatly improved. I wouldn't normally make a new thread about something like this but I've seen a lot of people complain about poor battery life. Hopefully this ROM helps others as much as it helped me. The ROM is still in beta but it's surprisingly stable.
I always keep my brightness at 40%

Yeah, that's pretty low for a day and a half worth of usage. We already know that the Galaxy Nexus idles like a champ.
He still has 60% left so he's still got a lot of usage out of that charge. Could be looking at 2 days at that rate but yeah you don't really use the phone that much do you.

I've seen as low as 0-1% battery lost over 8 hours of sleeping before. So that plus WiFi for a full day isn't hard. I've been at 75% battery before with a full 24+ hours used but it was on Wifi with little screen usage and minimal things like texting and short calls and not much else.

I second this, another thing is half the time people forget to mention their on AT&T not on Verizon, and they compare their 2 day battery life on GSM to an LTE phone...
My biggest battery hog is exchange syncing every 15 minutes, and with that and LTE with nothing but stock apps in the background I can get 2, 2 1/2 hours of on screen time within a day

as he got the phone a few hours ago maybe a little early to tell? anyone asking about battery life please come back in about 1 week time and we will have some relevant information to share. Even then the information will be tainted with "new phone" usage and not normal usage. Come back in a month or two for really accurate information.
I totally understand people wanting to manage expectations when it comes to battery life and not disclosing any info until decent testing has been done, but I don't think its unreasonable to at least see a few initial observations on battery life?
I've already pre-ordered, but won't be getting it until 10 days from now. I'd like to see someone's initial impressions on battery usage over an hour watching movies/surfing/etc...

how on earth is someone meant to say how long the battery life lasts after having it for half a day?
he probably used it continuously and if he's like me he'd have waited for it to do a full drain before plugging it in
Or perhaps this is the moment when we could know how long is the max screen on time since ppl r using it like crazy as its a new phone. Lol

Related to this, the manual says only use the official charger. I've got a New Trent external battery. I s there danger of it doing any harm?
I get at least 5h on screen time with my desire z on 40% screen brightness. Mainly on WiFi checking xda and web browsing.
I'd hope for 4h on the HOX but its not looking great. It's still a bit worrying that a slightly older device can still beat the newer devices.

New toy syndrome combined with a new battery taking about two Weeks to reach max performance, means it'll be a while before an accurate idea of average battery life emerges.

No, there's no danger. They simply want to limit damage to the battery by cheap Hong Kong Ebay chargers which don't regulate the voltage very well. You should be fine with a battery pack.

I don't agree, HTC customers have always complained of battery life - but they have always been better than the samsung galaxy phones that I'm used to.
HTC announced they have made battery life a higher priority in this device.
I can't find the link, but they also said it should be 'upto' 60% better than sensation.
Comparing it to the Galaxy Nexus, technology wise - this phone should at least be better than that phone.
CPU has its 4+1 technology
SLCD2 should use less power over Amoled
Bigger battery over the galaxy nexus.
So at least, I expect it to better its competition in the Galaxy Nexus.

HTC have embargoed all reviews until Monday. They are not going to be drawn into confirming or denying anything before then based only on unscientific impressions gained by a handful of users after only on one or two days usage. They will comment about battery life if the published reviews highlight there is a problem following several days controlled usage of the phone.
Anyone out there found the best ROM to have the best battery life?
I'm running AOKP toro JB build3 with Franco's kernal and I have the Verizon extended battery but the battery life still isn't all that great.
I use the phone quite a bit so the screen does kill it.
I've tried having the screen dimmed and clearing battery stats and all that stuff.
Is JB just a heavy user of battery? Is it better to go back to ICS?
Coming from a thunderbolt with an extended battery I had great battery life granted the battery was like a jet pack.
I'm sure I'm not the only out there as I've search other threads like this that brought me to AOKP JB and Franco's kernal.
Please let me know your thoughts, thank you kindly.

Oh and that's HSDPA which uses significantly less battery than CDMA so your battery life is pointless.

The battery life is enough to get me through the day with moderate usage.
I've I'm using it heavily I usually have to charge it before the day is done.
I'd try CM9 or Bugless Beast with Lean kernel if you're trying to squeeze out every drop of battery life.
There are so many other ROMs for TORO that you just need to try them all and find out which ROM / kernel combo works best for you.

One does not. However,it is a question that no one can answer for you since there are far too many variables that are unique to each individual. There is a reason mods lock thee threads as soon as they see them, and that is because they are totally useless given the extreme variation from localities, different basebands, hardware variances even within the same production run, etc. Like the others have said,think of the pandas and don't be surprised if you see this thread locked in the very near future.

Though I don't see the point in recommending one, stock is pretty good. But i really just wanted to say that clearing battery stats does not improve battery life.

Anyone out there found the best ROM to have the best battery life?
I'm running AOKP toro JB build3 with Franco's kernal and I have the Verizon extended battery but the battery life still isn't all that great.
I use the phone quite a bit so the screen does kill it.
I've tried having the screen dimmed and clearing battery stats and all that stuff.
Is JB just a heavy user of battery? Is it better to go back to ICS?
Coming from a thunderbolt with an extended battery I had great battery life granted the battery was like a jet pack.
I'm sure I'm not the only out there as I've search other threads like this that brought me to AOKP JB and Franco's kernal.
Please let me know your thoughts, thank you kindly.

Hey buddy,
I used to own a Motorola Atrix 4G and flashed a JB ROM that was Frankenstein up with Gingerbread drivers. The battery size on that phone is virtually the same capacity as the one on the GNEX, but for some reason I was able to get 8 hrs screen on while connected to WIFI. Atrix is a dual core phone at 1Ghz processor and 1 GB RAM.
I would love to get at least half the screen on time I used to get on my old phone.

This.
It's somewhat irksome to see that some people still hold onto the misinformed notion that clearing battery stats is in any way shape or form going to have any impact on battery life or reported charge. It has about as much to do with either as what color table you rest your tablet on when not in use.

There IS a best ROM...the one that works for you.

Hi everyone, for a long time i see ppl claiming their phone last longer due to a custom kernel.
Normally i read they saying "i could never make my phone lasting with 2hs screen on or lasting for 2 days".
Anyway, its obviously that this will depend 100% what ppl do with their phone accordingly to apps, widgets, syncing, etc.
For me, normally i have around 3 and a half hour screen on and around 1 day and a half to 2 days.
I do use WiFi and 3G alot... browsing, gaming, texting, etc.
My point is that i belive ppl have a placebo effect. Custom kernel will give you faster response, OC ability and other advantages.
What do you guys say?
Attached are some screenshot from my 100% stock phone.

I just believe some of the little tweaks devs do to a custom kernel do make a difference.
I bag 4h30m on my gnex regularly.
Yea I totally agree that stock performs just as well in the battery life department. All I care about is having root.

Your battery life won't really get better than that. I really agree that there's often a placebo effect in switching roms/kernels, i only use a different kernel for color settings volume boost via Francos app. Stick with stock though I'd say, but of course it's always nice to try out kernels, despite the placebo effect.
Speaking of which though, I'm performing a real life test seeing which governors on my kernel work best for battery life. I simply switch then lol at my screen on time and see if it's improved, I'm assuming hotplugx will win, so we'll see. Interactive is still a great balanced on though.

It made a difference for me personally, because I wasn't getting very good battery life at all with the stock kernel. The other tweaks were also a pretty good bonus.
You're getting pretty great battery life as is though, I wouldn't worry too much about changing to a custom kernel if you're consistently getting numbers like those.
Thanks everybody for the feedback. I guess we are all at the same page.

Thank you for not just asking "what is best Kernal"

Battery life or not but performance of the phone definitely improves with custom kernels... Asphalt 7 use to lag a bit on stock JRO03C but after trying Franco kernel Milestone 6 no lag or reboots whatsoever..
In fact I have a placebo that custom kernels reduce battery life
Worth it for the small performance improvements alone but I do get a little better battery life.
Even a few percent better is better than nothing when you sit in a building with poor reception and your battery takes a hit from your phone having a low signal

Somehow i think the same! All my attemps with custom kernels drove me to less juice... but a hell of fastness..

Personally, I run trinity...
Mostly for it's colors but I did seem to go from 1 day to 2 days without charging after the switch (placebo...?)
My battery suddenly dropped from 15% to 0% on Milestone 6... Now I'm back on stock custom kernels are like 3rd party engine mods on a car..
I say Franco...

What mods have you done to your phone? I am running aokp build 4 with Franco kernel milestone 6 and I'm starting to see some good numbers too.

3+ hours screen on time, 12+ hours standby. I didn't think it was possible, my battery bad been draining pretty quickly. I think the key this time was that I was on WiFi all day.

no sync because i don't have the data to go syncing the whole day, auto brightness, 3g outside, wifi at home. Web browsing only, i don't play games on my phone, it's reserved for my computer.
Stock kernel, stock ROM. Turn off auto sync unless you are connected to a wifi hotspot. This will give you 3 hours screen on time and 12+ hours uptime. I have 3 email accounts set up, but they do not sync automatically. I manually check my email in the am, at lunch, and evening.
Stock kernel, unless you can't help but obsess about making your phone "fast". If you want fast, go into Development Options within Settings and turn off all animations, then install a launcher like Nova and turn animations to "faster than light".
I used to flash all kinds of mods on my phone and I realized that was ALL I did with my phone, tinker and troubleshoot it. I will only unlock and root my phone if we stop getting the latest OS updates. In the meantime, nothing is so wrong with the stock kernel and rom that should make you install Bob's OS. But you know, that's the beauty of Android. You can decide what you do with your phone. Hope my point of view makes you reconsider flashing any custom software.
