Hello guys I wrote a guide that will help you improve your battery life because screen is the most thing that uses battery, here is a solution for all that, don't forget that the screen sensor for auto brightness is also taking lot of power.

And once again you made me laugh hard :thumbup:
I think we tested screen filter current draw on the nexus one and it showed no difference since its a software solution only. The mA draw remained unchanged using it or not.
Anybody noticed the difference, its doing great here.
This doesn't strain my eye as much, but doesn't see much on battery.

I've been using screen filters for a long time now. Great app!
Sounds interesting, I guess, but lately I've been thinking my screen is actually more dim than I'd like it to be. To be honest, I wish auto-brightness settings erred on the side of "more bright" rather than "less bright." There's probably a mod for just that, but I haven't really looked for it yet.
I managed 4h30m screen time on auto brightness, data on.

At the bottom of the pictures it shows that it was charged during the times the battery charge levels increased.
Lying?

It shows it was charged a couple of hours before the up spike. I didn't mean it hadn't been charged all day.

I see it. I think they're focusing too much on the actual charging. Did you pick up the new nuclear extended battery?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Hah, no. I was hoping I hadn't lost my mind. Was trying to drain the battery completely. Looked at the graph and had to chuckle. I'm sure its just a weird calibration thing but it was amusing to me.

Yeah no, I know what the op is talking about cuz I see that on my galaxy nexus sometimes too, but he could've posted a better screenshot lol
Sorry. First time I've seen it. Can I blame the screenshot quality on the 5mp camera?

screenshot isn't taken from your camera lol
what i meant was that you shouldn't have charged it at all, like literally.
I have the Verizon one and noticed it too. It only happened twice and seems to only do so when I switch from LTE to CDMA and leave it like that for a while.
Yeah I admit my initial posting should have been clearer. : )
Honestly it was a slight jab at the camera too. Could it be better? Sure. Is this phone the bees knees anyway? Hell yeah.

LOL best comment thus far
Looks like I'm not the only one. It started happening with the new extended battery, maybe it just needs to calibrate to the bigger mhz..
yeah i noticed my battery went from 4% to 6% today.

Was wondering if anybody has this issue with their phone. I have my brightness setting on 0 and no automatic brightness. When my phone goes to sleep it is at 0 but when I use it again the brightness is back on. I go back to my settings and the notch is all the way to 0. But I move it around and when I adjust it again back down, the actual lighting drops to 0 like its supposed to. This always happens when other awakes. Is that normal? Does it matter what setting it is on if its even a sleep? Also how can I correct this? Its annoying to always bring it back down. Thanks!!

What ROM are you using? Kernel?
Are you going to settings> display> brightness??? Cuz that's the only way i found it sticks to the brightness you set. I was using quick settings to adjust brightness but after looking and unlocking the phone it would always go to around 40% brightness. Tried a bunch of other apps and same thing would happen

I'm using Jugs 5 and switched back to faux 10u after being on backside for a few days.
Elflip that is what I have to do. When I used an app it would adjust ~40% and I would have to move it back. I wish there was an option with these apps to override that because its annoying. Its also annoying to manually adjust brightness at the top of the screen or even in settings.

Bro it's awesome it all depends on if you have on the heptic feedback on and I usuAlly keep every this.g off with my toggles and just turn them on when I need them
I'm at 41% after 23 hours and 3.5 hours screen time. I also turn off haptic feedback because I just don't like it. I also keep the screen dimmed as low as I can and still comfortably read. I'm very happy with this rom.

Id hardly call 20 dollars a waste of money with results like these. Only thing some people might not like is the extra bulk of extended batteries. This was on blazer GB rom el29, but ive also had great performance on times infinitys aokp rom.

Google Now, Everwhere.
With Open Mic+ for Google Now, access all the commands from anywhere on your phone. Simply say "Okay Google" or wave your hand in front of the screen. Screen on, screen off Google Now will be ready to listen.
This app is made to replicate the Googgle Now "OK, Google" feature on the Moto X. In the app version you can also wave your hand in front of the screen (on/off) to activate Google now.

There is an area in settings that you can press whether you want the app listening all the time or just when the screen is on. The feature for listening all the time is still in beta. I haven't had much time to test out whether it effects battery life or not though.

Can a Mod change the title to add Moto X since it mimicks that features

Is it related to that feature that keeps the screen on when you're looking at it, maybe? Screen shot attached..

That's the smart eye feature built in with the phone on stock or the ROM you are using.. Basically if you're looking at your phone, it will stay on as long as you are looking at it and thus you will see the "eye".
If you want a further explanation let me know. That's pretty much the simplest easiest way to explain it.

Turning it off could help a little bit. I found that ever since I have gone up to a 4.3+ ROM, my battery life has been atrocious.

Only in so far as not having your screen helps save battery.
Get better battery stats and check your Wake locks and deep sleep time
