Screen on time?

Yeah..screen ontime would help. I usually last like 14 hours with 5 hours screen on time. I don't hold back since I have a spare on the external charger lol.

Its ok if you're a hard core user like having your face stuck on the screen all day long

You should give undervolting a shot if your kernel supports it. That helps with reducing power consumption while in use, while juice defender helps with reducing power consumption while not in use.

Heres an update no charging

That's not very good, even given the fact that you're on 4g the whole day.
You need something like JD. The 4g looks like it's killing you.

I dont know what's going on but I never had a battery drain like this...and I have the galaxy nexus extended battery in!!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

yeah that's rather bad. i would put on average that our phone would last 4+ hours display on screen without the use of JD and other stuff.
I would say voice uses more battery than display on.. but barely... like 1.3 : 1 ratio in use voice : display.
Your android system looks a bit high too. Maybe a fresh wipe and install would help things.

Dude.. 22hrs? I need your current setup lol that's a decent battery life i would be happy with that!

it's not your signal, your signal is mostly green when in use. and as you can see the cell standby and stuff is a small %. but yeah try a different rom.

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

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.

I get 3+ hours easily on my GSM nexus, I've heard that the battery life is worse on the Lte version.

3 hrs of screen time still 40% battery gsm running jelly bean ROM from ROM manager

Did I mention I use Verizon.
Of course GSM gonna stretch.

From 100% to 0 using continously, it takes my phone around 4/30 hours to discharge

Any battery life tricks?

I am currently running Sonic-Free rom. and i like it. but if i have to change it for better battery life let me know. is their a specific setting i should use, kernal with a certain setting in SetCPU, any times would be greatly appriciated. this thing is dying super fast!!! even loses charge while plugged in when screen is on with light tasking.

I am running CM 10 M1 and I easily get 18 hours on 50% battery with moderate use.

Sounds like you have other issues here... How is signal strength?.. What apps are you running? Have you looked at better battery stats or similar app to determine what is your culprit?

It says 58% screen. The everything else says 5% and lower. I just got juice defender ultimate in to see if that helps. I k won't know till I'm at 100%. Still trying to charge which takes 7 hours to charge fully......

Ok i will get rid of it. its worked for me in the past, but that was on the HTC hero, evo, evo shift. i never had this issue on SII.

About JuiceDefender... it really depends on how you use your phone. I love JD since I go long periods of time without using my phone. By using JD I don't have to bother with turning data and wifi on and off manually, and obviously you save a lot of battery when they're off. I also kind of like the night tint that comes with their brightness control.
Obviously, the usefulness of JD is completely dependent on how you use your phone, but I wouldn't just rule it out. I personally have never gotten the kinds of screen time people around here seem to get... I get tops 3 hrs with 10% left with or w/o JD, but I still get over 24 hours easy using JD so I'm happy.

Also not really understanding "kick in period" for battery life, it should be immediately after you flash a rom. These batteries and roms have no set in period or special charge and discharge cycle.
That was way back when nickel batteries where used.

rogue apps, bad service area are 2 big battery eaters. But it really depends on what you do on your phone. If you use your phone like super computer it'll suck, where as if you read a book on your phone with a black background battery with last forever with a crap ton of screen on time.
Or it could be a bad battery or charger or bad micro usb cable.

Battery Guru for snapdragons

Have any of you used this app? I think it's worth at least trying out. I've been using it now for a few days and it seems to have helped increase my battery life. A lot of times before I would get about 2.5 hrs of screen time and now I've noticed I've been getting almost 3.5 hrs...almost, but still good improvement nonetheless.
*It goes into learning mode for about 2-3 days before actually starts helping save battery.
It's free in the playstore, you guys should check it out if you didn't know about it already
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Been using it for two days, after initial 2 days learning, and for me it has increased my battery life by a ridiculous amount. I work in an area with little to no service and my phone is almost always searching. I would unplugmy found around 5 am and would be at 30-40% by noon. Apon checking my phone for the past two days its been at about 75%. So I love it!!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Yeah usually I don't really believe in apps claiming to save battery now because none of them ever really worked for me. But this app is made for phones specifically using snapdragon processors and actually works, pretty damn good too.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

It must have gotten better from when it first launched because it absolutely DECIMATED my battery life in the first versions! Maybe I'll try it again.
Admittedly, I'm running root66 MD5 and I'm getting the best battery life I've ever gotten without undervolting and the ROM has been extremely stable for me so I'm sticking with it for now... maybe my constant ROM flipping was messing up the app. I'll give it another shot.

I tried it for a week and it wasn't even doing anything at all...
Just get battery doctor from the market should do.

All I know is that I never came close to 5 hours until upgrading to MD5...

To be honest, I haven't noticed really any difference. I'll get some screenshots later tonight if you'd like, but overall, if there were any battery savings, they have been minimal. Notice my screen-on time in the original screenshot. I really am not a power user. I only ever have to charge my battery during the day if I've been gaming on it or if I have a rogue app chewing up battery. I usually go 12-14 hours and have 25-30% left with less than 2 hours screen-on time. I don't use task killers, however I reboot my phone daily before I pull it off the charger.
