[DISCUSSION] Average SCREEN/ON BATTERY time. How did you achieve that?! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

========================================
I think it's a good idea to convert that thread to an official discussion thread:
[DISCUSSION] Average SCREEN/ON BATTERY time. How did you achieve that?!
This thread aims the users with an average usage (a bit of browsing, a bit of gaming, few clips on youtube a day, email syncing and other daily usage).
Guinness record seekers - go away!
RULES
- Post your ON BATTERY and SCREEN time screenshots
- Tell us how you achieved that
- Let us know about your setup: ROM, Kernel
- Do you use battery saving apps
- Any other information which might be interesting (some annoying wakelocks you got rid off etc.)
========================================
I always didn't believe how in the world it is possible with stock battery.
Finally! 16hrs standby and 4hrs screen time.
16Hrs with the normal usage from wake up till bet time is not that bad. Normally I'm having 2hrs screen time. So in those cases I hope I'll get 24hrs of standby.
My setup:
- Slim ICS 3.8
- Franco kernel. Latest nightly
- BetterBatteryStats for monitoring wakelocks
- All notifications i don't need - OFF.
Seems that notifications from various apps caused the battery drain. Turned them all off. Always was checking wakelocks and eliminating apps from the walelock list too.

Stock rom. 007 kernel. No syncing on since i check my stuff manually enough as is. Can get almost 6 on wifi and 5.5h on hspa if signal is good or better most of the battery charge. If not good signal, can still get 5 or near pretty easily.
...

of course your getting 4 hours+ with wifi on, it's the radios that drain the batttery.

Yeah.. with my .30mbps sprint connection... i get around 3hours of display... over all 3g over a period of 15hours.

I'll check through my screen shots to see if I still have it, but I'm pretty sure it was 21 hours. (if you're talking about total time on)
---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------
My most recent screen shot that I have (I must have deleted the old one) is 1d 8h 23m 3s on battery with 3h 6m 51s (I still had 20% battery though).
I spend the majority of my day at work (no wifi) and then when I get home, I turn wifi on.

Hmm . . . I'm already getting 4.5 hrs with stock 4.02 with about 15% remaining after 13 hrs - some wifi/calls/txt.

I just bought a new battery this weekend ( original 1750mah ) and i did a first time calibration ( charging for 10h without unplugging and drain it all until my phone closes by itself). Now i have a freaking awesome battery life with mid-heavy usage. 4h15 of screen time with 50% brightness, wifi on all the time, gps, auto-sync, franco kernel #11, XDA for few hours(white background), youtube, about 250 txt messages, 30 min of talk time. I just beat a new record submit your best screen on time.

If you search here, someone made an experiment. He set to airplane mode and set the screen to display all pure black with lowest brightness. That resulted with about 10 hours 40 minutes.
So, that's max screen on time with standard battery.

Granted, I don't sync and I set to brightness at 10%. But that's enough for me. Mostly I use my phone for web browsing, fb, g+, xda, games, etc. The stats below include Sygic GPS navigation for about 20 minutes.

I've gotten 5.25 hours as my record. Was strictly a wifi data run. I've also got 4.75 twice, HSPA data, but your 4.25 is probably more impressive if your background is that and the other stuff mixed in. All 1750 mah. Just got my 2000 mah yesterday.

I am getting about 5 hours of on screen time with my gsm Galaxy Nexus with the 2000mah extended battery from simshop,wifi on,100% brightness always & none of my settings are focused on saving battery life.Here is a screenshot of the wallpaper I usually use,sometimes I throw a lwp on.I also for testing purposes put Netflix on at 100% battery and streamed until the battery got to 5% and ended up getting 4 hours 23 minutes with the same settings as I wrote above.I am running 4.0.1 stock deodexed rom.Stock kernel.
Maybe this will finally be the thread where everyone actually shares the relevant information like Rom & Kernel,GSM/LTE,Extended or Stock battery, Screen Brightness,Sync on/off,Wifi/Data,Static or LWP.On screen time as opposed to just how long the phone has been in idle & even possibly the technique used to calibrate the battery.

Using redemption rom with stock kernel. Yeah I have wifi on the whole time I'm home. Which is usually from 4- til I plug in. I am on the extended battery. But I don't notice much of a boost from the normal battery with it. I also have gtalk signed in all day and use that almost constantly. Although today I haven't. My phone also always stays cool. It never gets warm.
Also I have everything on normal sync. Gmail,fb,twitter. And auto brightness.

If you're using 4G+wifi, aren't you really just using wifi? With wifi on, I can make it through the weekend easily with light to moderate use. 4G, not so much.

I got four hours of on-screen time with moderate-heavy usage.

I charged my phone up twice, one time I didn't use juicedefender ultimate and the other I find here are the results:

What have you done in that time? Just curious. Used cam? browsed net with wifi or 3g?
Trying to decide whether mine needs to go back or not basically.
How many charge cycles did it take to get to this stage?
When you first got the phone, did you just charge to full then use?

I want to know what you can do to get 4 and half hours screen time.
I mean, unless your just looking at the homescreen constantly there must be either WiFi usage or 3G going on. Unless of course, you were texting for three hours straight.

You can game & watch movies without 3g or WiFi.
As I'm on unlimited data, I think I will perform a test of constant H/3G streaming,
as on my SGS2, I could easily kill the battery with less than an hour screen on time. (less than 8hrs total use - streaming for only 4/5hrs was enough to kill it - screen off aswell)
... Screen on time isn't everything.
& as I stream a lot, it's a test I could easily do, & one I need to know the results of for myself.
Hopefully my HOX will outperform my ex-SGS2 in this particular battery test.
... Streaming over mobile data, truly does eat battery, but I hope it's a long test.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Half an hour on max brightness with screen set to never turn off only took 10% so you got a point there.
Screen time on is a good guide to actual usage though, if the screen is on then the phone is being used. So out of a 14 hour odd day on battery you only use it for a few hours seems a bit poor.
I'm envious of people who seem to get over 4 hrs real world "usage".

1.5 hour battery life

Battery life goes down 1% every minute the screen is on... This is rediculous. I'm running the latest franco kernel + liquid rom.
Uhhh cool story? Use your phone an entire day and post your battery stats when you're at < 5% battery left. Then we can talk about your actual battery life...
Let me bite this troll bait.
I'm sure this phone doesn't last 1.5hours, i'm sure mine doesn't.
@OP that's prolly why the guy sold it
good day.
You should be getting around 4 hours of screen on time, try different kernels if you don't achieve near this. I get 5+ hours everyday usign my set up, just look around at countless other thread to get an idea of what you can do.

Which kernels besides franco give good battery life?
If you're getting 1.5 hours battery life then you're NOT using your phone, period. This is a smart phone, if you can manager more than 1 hour then you probably should have kept your StarTAC.
Edit: read a few more posts, wasn't troll bait it turns out.
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, wakelocks are one avenue to explore. Install Better Battery Stats and follow the instructions/procedures, etc... from its thread here on XDA.

If you are on 3g/4g and a verizon nexus on stock battery...2 hrs screen time is normal. Get used to it. Sorry. My wife's on stock 4.0.2 does exactly that. Pathetic. We bought an extended battery. Still might get in the 4 hour range. I love the nexus but damn the battery is terrible. I get 6-7 hrs screen on time on my maxx using 3g/4g. Today she got close to 4 hrs but it was a 4g/Wi-Fi mix.
Verizon nexus on 3g gets around 2 hrs screen on time if you actually are using data and keeping everything synced like a smartphone should be able to do.

I charged it up during the day yesterday, but then hammered it syncing my emails, sms messages and other things.
So, last night was my first real charge. I took it off the charger at 6am this morning, and right now, at just a few minutes less than 5 hours, I'm at 83% with 70% use being cell standby.
I'm sticking with HSPA+ today, because I know that will drain the battery more than WiFi (at least that was the case on my Atrix) and I'm trying to get a feel for the battery life when away from WiFi.
Now, full disclosure, my phone has 6 email accounts setup for push. An Exchange account, two Gmail accounts and three Imap idle accounts using k9 mail. Still, I would say it's burning battery at a little higher rate than my Atrix with those same six push email accounts.
5 hours and down to 40%.
:-(
I'm seeing a significant increase in battery life whith the s3 over the s2

I'm a bit of a light user, but a little heavier than average given new phone.
7.5 hrs @ 57%.
I'll post screens when I can.
5 Hours, 45%, screen on 2 hr, 12 min.
Interesting thing: I have a Pandora Widget on my screen, have not used it at all, and 13% of my power, and show son for 22 min.
9.5 hrs @ 29%.
I am using the default juicedefender profile.
Cell standby hogs the battery more than other phones like US One X with same SoC. I think kernel devs can work on this since this is not normal.
To get a good idea on battery life, everyone needs to show their screen on time as it should be the biggest drain.

I've done some driving with Slacker Radio streaming via bluetooth to my Jeep.
Seems like cellular standby eats juice. I am in an LTE area.
is the a way to turn off LTE?

Battery Life for you Heavy Users

I know another battery life thread, but I want to know what battery life people get that are heavy users. What i mean by heavy is people that play games for an hour, watch videos, surf the web, music, download, calls, text. Things that would drain the battery quick and because the screen is on.
On a regular day I mostly text get about 1.5 hours of music and 2 hours of video/game. I don't play games all that much just watch videos during my breaks, surf the web allot and download small files. I have always kept WiFi and GPS enabled on all my android devices.
I had the SGS for 2 days and noticed it only lasts about 12 hours, my previous phone (hTC Raider) with the same usage would last about 14 - 16 hours.
What do you guys get? somewhat disappointed with the battery.
4 to 6 hrs screen time.

I am suddenly getting a lot of wake locks. Can someone please suggest an app to track them down? I had one on my previous phone that was impossible to read. Thanks!!

That's impressive I may have to check out that ROM. It funny how you guys get around 16 hours and i only get 12 I wonder what it is?
I'm starting to remove bloat and hopefully that will improve my battery, will post back at the end of the day.
Out of curiousity is everyone on a custom rom, is anyone on a stock rom and getting these numbers (I apologize if i missed this but i dont think i saw it). Im rooted but still stock on sprint and I am getting about 8 hours. I have about 4 gmail accounts sync, 4 groupme accounts sync, gps and wifi enabled. I typically lower my brightness unless im outside or in a hard to read area....any ideas? I was really ok with not trying custom roms but if i can double my battery life by doing so i might reconsider....I was on the OG Evo before and flashed like crazy to get better battery life but no matter what others said they got, I only got 5-6 hours on similar setup that i just mentioned.
I'm testing my phone to make sure it lasts me my heavy day. Coming from GNEX i have to make sure that it's worth $600 i just paid.
now i'm getting 5 hours of talk time + 3 hours screen time (auto) + 20-50 text/emails. this is with power saver setting without CPU max limit.
and at the end of day (8PM) i have around 18 hours on batt, and 20% left.
Hope that helps.
This was extreme usage. Audio constantly playing and tethering on most of the time.

Judging from the fact that he's on Blazer rom (I used to have a GSII), I'm assuming he's on sprint. Assuming he's on Sprint, I'm assuming he does not have LTE in his area yet. This could account for the huge difference in how long the phone lasts overall.
Being on AT&Ts LTE, I can get around 4 hours of on screen time and 15 hrs overall of medium use.
Here are mine. Mostly idle, lots of reading(Game of Thrones books, awweesome!), emails (all work related) and light gaming. 5% left after 20 hours, almost 4 1/2 hours screen time. I am running stock rom, rooted and I debloated a bit(few pre-installed apps, gmail, email, etc as I use other apps for those needs).
Uptime 5% left on battery.

And, this is with my secondary (stock) battery....
The original one that came with the phone is even better....I need to get more recent screenies for that one though...
Throwing bricks since 2008.....and proud of it.
Battery life is awesome on this phone!
