Your battery life looks normal, and my god you're a smartphone addict...
8 hours screen on time is about the norm for the phone from a full charge to empty.

My screen has only been on 2 hour 20 mins that is like 1/4 of 8 hours of screen time...? Or do you mean the phone itself being online then it would be 10hours.

Your battery life is normal with the signal readings that are shown in the screenshot. You are showing almost no signal for most of the 10 hours, that will drastically drain your battery. You could probably get another hour of screen time out of that 14%. That would give you almost 12 hours on a full charge with a weak signal. I have also found the stock ROMs to have longer battery life so far than the cm/aokp ROMs, at least on this phone so far. Once they get the cm/aokp ROMs 100%, they will probably yield better battery life.

8 hours of screen on time?!?!?!?!? If I get 3 hours it's a miracle. I've never heard of anyone getting a solid 8 hours of actual screen on time. I don't think I'd get that even if the phone was on airplane mode.

try logging out of lattitude

It depends entirely on the ROM and kernel. With stock TouchWiz I can get close to 8 hours. With the latest CM10 I'm also getting close to 8 hours screen time. With KT747 and CM9 and an over clock to 1890 MHz, I got around 5 hours screen time a couple weeks ago.

Screen time of 8 hours is a lot isn't it I would be happy with 4 hours.

6 hours screen on?

Sure sure it's with light use, but just the fact that it can hit 6+ hours screen time after more than a day and a half... sits pretty well with me.
No games, 30% screen brightness, 74 mins of calls, quite a bit of texting & whatsapp, 30 odd mins browsing, wifi 100%, sync on, only 1 widget.
aokp, lean kernel, undervolted, K6, extended battery.
Loving this phone!!!

Not bad at all! Especially considering 74min of phone calls.
NICE!!! Can't wait till my extended battery comes in.
Nice. I've had my extended battery for 2 days now and I am seriously impresses ed with it. It on my drive home I'm at 65% instead of 30%. I really think the extended battery should of come stock.
I got a similar 6 hour in airplane mode. I was watching a movie while roaming on vacation.
Verizon stock rom. stock battery.
Even stock SGN makes wonders with battery on Wi-Fi But still your stats are truly amazing
OP did charge the phone for a bit....like 3 times don't know for how long....but nonetheless amazing stats...

No, he didn't? Look closer on first screenshot. There is no sign of charging on those lines below the graph. Those places where graph line goes up are pretty normal and that doesn't mean device war charging.

Line is going up for a little, but that's normal and it often happens in my phone too.

Nah I didn't charge it at all, as the other guys pointed out. I remember my battery dropping to 4%, I then put down my phone and when I came back later on, it was reading 5%. I thought I was going crazy, but looking at the graph now I see it really did happen. It raised from 4% to 5% and stayed there for a bit before dropping to 4% again.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't a one off... it's not doing as well today with the same usage. We'll see...

Actually, the phone calls don't do much damage... You should be able to talk 11hours on this phone apparently...
I am very jealous. I am lucky to get 3-3.5 of web surfing.
With standard battery, you can get almost 11 hours screen on time (by doing nothing):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366878&highlight=max+battery
So, that's the limit
My experience with extended battery, 2000 mAH, GSM, I could get 4 and a half screen on time with 61 hours stand by time. For sure, it can go down to 6 hours or more screen on time if I down the standby time. All with stock ROM, stok kernel, un-locked
It is not difficult to achieve that knowing the limit, all depends on how you set it up and how do you use your phone.

[Q] JB Battery performance

Hi!
Just wondering if someone has tested the battery performance for JB compared to stock ICS 4.0.4.
Less than 24 hours is not long enough for any definitive tests.
Too soon too compare... :screwy:
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I've plugged a car battery to my nexus with jelly bean, and for now I have 99% using it for 7 hours. So far so good
Now seriously, jb is so recent...
Sent from my Jelly Belly using xda premium
if you connect phone to mobile version of nuclear reactor... you will never have to charge it again... EVER!!!!!!!!
and for the this first day of use... playing with phone every day (I have my nexus one week old now, so Ive got new battery), Im on 37 percent left now, but its a really very very early to compare
My phone is down to 47% with 4 hours in, and an hour and twelve minutes on screen..but it is my first charge, And stock kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
So far 10.5 hours and 1:45 screen time I'm at 48%.
Pretty much the same as ICS for me.
JB has been brutal on my battery life so far.
See the graph below. The dips Down are consumption. The far right is jelly bean... see how much more it drops down? It's using more battery power.

I wonder if that is due to the new governor that instantly ramps the CPU to max speeds when a touch event is sensed or expected.
With bixie's ROM and the stock kernel, I'm estimated to get 4 hours screen on time which is excellent. Pretty much the same I've gotten with ICS.

Maybe it's just because your screen is on more since you're still "exploring/fiddling"
It's actually much better for me than ICS - already 4 hours of screen time (68%) and I'm still left with 35% battery.
This is quite impressive to me because I could barely make it to 4 hours on stock 4.04.

Well, I'd believe that if the "normal ICS" dips was off-screen usage, but they are the same apps I used before and after.
I'll wait a few days, since JB is likely doing some background processing for its new features, but I can say the device was running hot since installing it.
Well I got an app to measure CPU usage and jb certainly does ramp up the CPU to 100% when simply dragging your finger across the screen.
I wonder how Google offset the battery loss caused by this. I'd certainly take ICS smoothness ( which wasn't bad) for longer battery life.

Since upgrading, my battery is being punished by Media service - it's used over 60% in a couple of hours!
Something not quite right here. I didn't format the SD partition when I updated (but I did do data/system etc. Maybe I need to format the SD too, but I don't see an option in CM for that?

How is everyone finding the battery life on CM10?

I would have asked this in the thread, but I'm new so can't make posts there. Anyways, for me it's pretty terrible.
It's been 9 hours and 51 minutes off charge and my batter is at 40%. The screen on time is 34 minutes and set to autobright. Anyone else getting anything this bad?

How long have you been using this ROM for ? It usually takes at LEAST 2-3 days of use before battery stats improve. That goes for every new ROM you install.
The battery in cm10 is great I'm seeing 1% per hour in standby just run a few cycles it will calm
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I've been using p12v2 the day it came out, but I've been using the ROM since p5. Should I just run it through a few full cycles then?

Ah, I forgot I installed that. Deep sleep is at 58%
I recently had quite good battery life on eprj cmx(10). I got about 3.5h screen-on time, and in total a time of 6.5h. Look at my quote below(yip I just did quote myself).

I did actually use the phone as you can see. This is just very normal usage. Browsing, xda and flipboard mostly. Also running on the oc version and lowest screen brightness(which is still quite bright).

How are you all getting so much battery life out of it?
Mine doesn't even last a day, with like 1 hour screen time.
Any tip appreciated, thanks.
Im also losing battery fast...even when im not using it, kept it in deep sleep, it still losing battery about 1% in 5 minute...is any kernel that good with battery life...there is something that eating the power...
me too is losing the battery fast, even after updated to ARHD 17.1 (JB), it sucks a lot where it could drop to 40% within four hours and minimal screen on usage. Really make me wonder if it is hardware problem because have flashed different ROM but still yield the same result.
hit it with a thunder...that should do the trick
I think the best battery life Rom it is venom viperx...after 24 hours with 3 g and data on I have 2%...the screen was on 2h13 m with auto brightness and calls 1h55m...some mails,facebook,xda...I think i'm not gonna try jb...this rom it's perfect and verry customizable:thumbup::beer:

I also had major problems with battery life on my HOX. My solution so far is to dissable synchronization of Google Contacts, This gives me a gain of at least 50% generally.
I've attempted to dissable services one by one, and Contacts appears to be the culprit.
Try this and let us know..
Edit:
Im on stock JB european rom
Been watching a movie on MXplayer and battery is down to 68% from 100%, screen on time is 1 hour 50 minutes. Which suggests that I can watch movies for 4 hours+.
Don't have the screenshots to prove it now that i've started charging my phone.
Oh yeah, matt95 measured it by the screen using 45% out of those hours, which equals 9.3 hours. Doubt that it's right though.

Battery drains fast for the first 20-25% on Jelly Bean

Hey All,
I hope someone here can help me out. I am on stock rooted JB and the batter drains extremely fast for the first 20%. In about an hour I am down to about 75-80% left. Then it slows down. Also when I unplug the charger the battery immediately looses 5%. I might have to go back to Ginger Bread because this update is so buggy.
I m having the same issue.
Was having 2-days battery life with ICS.
Update to JB with new TMobile radio. Battery lift drop so fast. Only for 1-day. Same usage. Now back to ICS. Still cant get 2-days battery life. Any one has the same problem?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda app-developers app
I switched back to Ginger bread. JB has nice features but its too buggy and everything crashed even after a factory reset and debloat.
It will take a couple of days (a week maybe) until the phone settles down into its own. Until that time you will see very random battery stats. It has happened to me on every new OS I have ever flashed. Several reboots followed by a ten minute "no touch" helps me. Meaning boot the phone, let it sit for ten minutes, reboot the phone, let it sit for another ten minutes, etc. After about four reboots like this my battery becomes more stable and predictable.
Same problem. My battery drop so much. I used deep sleep battery saver but seem cant help more.

I froze or uninstalled everything there is to freeze and uninstall. The only thing that syncs is the email every 30 min. Thats it. I am a light user and on GB I get 3 days of battery life on a single charge. After this update I cant get half a day. I never heard of ROM that needs to settle, is it like a new puppy or something

You used the phone quite heavily? You barely have any screen on time. That is not heavy at all.
What the stats don't show is that my screen was on for at least 2 hours that morning while I was trying to restore GB from backups. It took at least 5 attempts to get it to work properly.
