Battery Usage - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I'm noticing a big battery drain from my screen, just curious what other peoples usage is like and what you have for brightness settings:
ROM: BlackIce Kangorade

I've always had the understanding that your screen should use the most. Here is mine in HORRIBLE coverage (no bars and back and forth from 3G to 1x) normally my screen % is pretty close to yours. I am running aokp build 38 with auto brightness oc to 1113 max 245 min uv -1 step across the board with smartassV2 governor and noop scheduler.

Mine usually looks like yours. Only difference in our setups is I'm on the v10 kernel. (Not 10.5)
Another way to increase battery life/decrease that screen percentage is to use custom backlight settings and levels. I found some in a thread here a while back that helped my battery life significantly on the stock battery. Using the same setup as above poster and the custom backlight settings I get ~3 days on an extended battery with light usage.

I think 10.5 is not great on battery life.

I can provide the v10 kernel via Dropbox if you guys want....I haven't seen it anywhere lately.
Credit to Aeroevan of course for the the awesome kernel.

Ive been running aeroeven v9 for a couple days now and I'm liking it, so I'm a little hesitant to try v10
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I'm also running Aeroevan's CM9 (7/12), but using the 10.5 kernel. No overclocking, and I have the brightness on auto at all times. Have the wifi on when at home, scarcely have GPS on. Sync on all the time. I usually get two days of battery life, but at that point the battery goes down to under 10%, so I usually charge at least once a day to keep it higher.

Yes, but still not as good as aero's cm9 with his v9 kernal.

Changing CPU settings for better battery life.

I am hearing a lot about cpu adjustment, over clocking and script stuff for some extended battery life. I searched a lot but couldnt find any nice guide on this. I am running Juggernaut 5.0 with darkside mainline karnel . I am getting 8 hours of battery life. Want some more; since i am heavy user
Please help me on that.

try beast mod, its awesome for battery life.
I'm running Slickmod 2.4 with Gideon's UV script (no setcpu or anything involved) and I'm PRETTY sure I'm getting better battery life than I ever did on Juggs 5.0, maybe try that?
Undervolting/underclocking is what you need to maximize battery life. With that said, I get 20+ hours running Warfare rom/kernel.

I tried synergy kernel with juggs latest and the animations get pretty jittery along with constant homescreen roughness while scrolling. It's not slow, but not smooth. Was wondering what the best ROM/kernel combo is that's buttery smooth with the best battery life.
I'm using adw ex if that makes a difference? Tried with touchwiz and was the same.

Best battery life OST?

Looking for a solid ROM/Kernel combo to get the most out of my battery on-screen-time-wise.. I was getting around 2.5-3 hours with toro 23 but after flashing 25 my on screen times have been seriously depressing. I haven't changed any major settings that would have, or should have rather, reflected this.. suggestions would be appreciated!
I use the latest franco kernel and Foxhound rom. Good for me so far.

That's some pretty serious battery life right there... but what im really looking for is on-screen time. Can you get me a screenshot with that?
I recommend leankernel 2.4
ROM doesn't matter that much but I'm on aokp
4h over 1 day everytime
I recommend AOKP last build (#27 at the moment) and Popcorn Kernel from sonicxml for the best battery life.
This was 13 hours and 50 minutes on Eagles Blood 1.9 and Franco kernel 15.2

I would recommend aokp or liquid (roms)
with leankernel or minimalistic which ever you prefer to call it.
I can about 5 hour screen on time with 3g.

Can we have screentimes please + brightness settings?!
Anyone can do sod all with a phone for a while and get long battery life! Eg, last week:
I would like to know what ROM Kernel combos are getting best screen on time! Thats the major power consumer...
AOKP M4 + Franco Kernal M1
Almost exclusive use of wi-fi
Low brightness
No extended battery
Majority of time spent browsing fb/XDA/reddit:
Edit: Btw, I literally drop 1% over night, so if I use it on stand-by this would last forever.

[Q] Best rom for battery life E4GT

Hi im looking for the best rom with the best battery life. i had one a while back i was on battery for 15 hours and still had half a battery left i took a screen shot and i was actually using my phone too! open to any suggestions just wanna see how long i can get this baby to last
The stock el29 rom.
Calks el29 not stock :O
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
what are you two getting as far as battery life
Blazer 4.0 or 4.1 rom. EL29 or FC24 Modem is Bo$$ for battery life.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
FYI.. everyone has a different experience with modems.. one person may be best with el29 another may be best with FDwhatever, and as far as roms go your probably going to hear alot of blazer, and calks.. battery life also depends on stuff in your phone.. like apps and settings.. 3g, wakelocks, background data, wifi.. all that kinda **** will vary your battery life..
you probably already know this, but just pointing it out.. trying to help out around here. =)

Two days on charge, almost 3 or 4 hours of on screen time.
I've gotten the best battery life absolutely hands down on codename YMMV
I just went to calks e4gt 3.0 first time ive been on gingerbread since i got the phone bc as soon as i got it i went to ics lol. very smooth. calk always does amazing work. ill let you guys know how i end up and yea i usually dont mess with profiles seeing as how it already has a battery saver script but i usually roll with 3g off all day unless i wanna surf the internet a little bit then ill turn it on check fb..etc then turn it off drastic increase from having it on all day
I'm using blended ROM from from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20166744 so far I've had excellent battery life.

Think I've already cast my vote hehe. 1 hr 34 min screen on so far

Exceed 2 hours???

Anybody find a nice trick pass that screen time barrier??? Most people reach 2 hours and it seems no one can pass that barrier.
The only thing you can affect and make better is when the phone is off.
The farthest I've reached is 2h 30m on a light day.

I check everywhere about exceeding 2 hours and everyone is like oh this rom is that and gives me 4 hours with such and such and such kernel
And etc etc
I get 2 hours on wifi or 4G LTE or just plain 'ol 3G.
I turn my 3G data / wifi off whenever I don't use it. I usually get over 3 hours, not using an extended battery.

I was on skankwich and the samurai kernel at the time. Currently running jelly bean and samurai but there are issues with deep sleep for some reason.
Lazy governor fiops IO scheduler I used voltage control to under volt and control the CPU. If you have been using interactive then that may be why your battery drains.

Can you prove it was black?
Anyways, I had AOKP B39 + Franco 196, and it was amazing. 5.5 hours sometimes, usually 5 hours as the 2nd post shows.
Usually never had data turned on for more than 30 minutes overall, but Wi-Fi was on for most of the time. CPU speed was at 192-1036 MHz. Never really got around to UVing, mostly forgot about it cause I got such great battery.

Help me find a good kernel for jellybam?

I finally got rid of tw and flashed jellybam. The only thing bothering me in the battery life. It's worse than what i had in my s3. I tried using soap and dagr8s kernel. But no luck. Battery falls 10% for less than half hour on screen time with medium use of texting and browsing. What is a good kernel and what are your recommended settings with it , like governor and stuff.
