Gingerbread improve battery life?

Anyone know if battery life will improve at all with the new gingerbread update coming tomorrow? I'm just curious to see if they helped improve that at all, knowing that alot of people are currently running 2.3 already.

There probably won't be a big increase in battery life, but what this does mean is that there will be source for GB Sense kernels for the EVO. This is great because then kernel developers can start cooking better kernels that offer more battery savings.

I certainly hope so, but I wouldn't count on a major increase.

I have an extended life battery on my EVO. It has always allowed me to use the EVO as much as I wanted as long as I charged it nightly. Since I installed Gingerbread, my phone will no longer make it all day. Gingerbread actually made my battery life much worse. I wish I had never installed it.

Well, every update I'm sure has some specific things that optimize the processes the phone runs and the task killers, so there's probably some minor improvements. I doubt you'll notice all that much though . If you're having issues with battery life hit up my sig lol

my moms evo had a problem with battery life. Some how it wasnt charging correctly. A battery pull for a few minutes fixed the issue.

Had the same problem it would charge for some time but then stop charging..but its fine now

I've been running GB now for almost a week and I definitely have quite a bit worse batter life.

I installed a rooted gb rom last night and updated all the radios. Runs smoothly but my battery life has significantly gone down. Does anyone know if there is a known display issue with the update? See my screenshot of my battery stats.

My display totally eats my battery on the new update. Very lame
We're comin from a pure power source.

Retraction to my previoius post in this thread
I found an email with a rather large attachment in my outbox that my phone was continually trying to send. When I deleted the email, my battery life returned to performance that was similar to the performance I had prior to the GB update. I believe the phone was continually trying to send the email and it was swamping my battery.

Starburst v1.9.8r + Underclock = Great Battery!

Running starburst rom v1.9.8r and its awesome! Thanks phantom for all your work! And thanks to everyone else whose software im using!
Battery life on a few previous roms were a bit low, maby i didnt give my phone long enough to get used to them, but my current set up gives me some of the best battery life I've personally had since before root and starburst v1.8 which were each beast.

Way past my daily charge time and still going strong. connected to wifi a lot,used google navigation for about 90mins of driving, been web browsing a lot/texting/little music/some camera. Nothing spectacular like gaming and videos but my main worry was to make sure i had enough battery at the end of the day to gps back home lol. Dont worry about the few minutes of charging at the end, was showing off netflix through hdmi so kinda needed to have charger plugged in so give or take 2% if you're- why so serious?
Set up:
Sb rom v1.9.8r
LoStKernelExp 1.0.0.8
SetCpu to underclock/undervolt
Viper's LoS Checker v2.1 - default set to check every 2 minutes
ICS green dialer (Idk how that would do anything)
First fully charged phone till blue light,unplugged and turned off,plugged in and let fully charged a few times. Booted straight to recovery and wiped battery data. And yes rebooted and was at 99% but hey.
Also if anyone is worried about performance from underclocking from 1200 to 800, dont be, theres hardly a difference in performance. I play Defender -droidhen- alllll the time and there was absutely 0 performance issues even when using spells and flashy stuff on stage 92. The gps works perfect,no lag between voice and location/distance from next turn (and was on 3g). The single thing i notice is that when on flash heavy web pages, there tends to be a bit more checkerboarding while scrolling up and down, but the pages themselves load up as fast as always.
For the extra bettery life, i think its worth the microscopic performance sacrafice? Anyway I hope this helped anyone wondering about battery life and how I extend my own!
Would love some feedback if anyone is getting better results!

Looks good...still testing tho.
Thanks!

Ics battery life is kinda poor

Is anyone else having poor battery life with there current ics roms? Just took it off the charger and about an hour later I'm at 86 percent

Is this another April Fools joke?
They are LEAKS you're never gonna have the best battery life on a leak till the devs can get the source code for the OFFICIAL release.

Hmm running Calkulins v1.2, with light to medium use (never turning mobile data off, wifi on and off all day, moderate web use), I get between 3.5-5.5%/hr. Better than the CM7 alpha, not quite as good as First run of Venum's modified stock..
I've actually been impressed on how good the batt life is considering a Leak.
That being said, I know a kid that flashed Calkulins and consumes like 20%/hr... Every phone is different.

[Q] Is this typical battery performance?

I'm new to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Toro), I just switched from a Thunderbolt.
So here's the issue: I am seeing much quicker battery drain than I would expect when running Carbon 1.1 (Android 4.2.2) or Carbon 1.0 (4.2.1). I'm going to try franco kernel today. Here are some screens showing stats. I replaced the stock battery (person who sold it said it wasn't holding charge) with Anker battery. I also disabled NFC wondering if maybe this battery doesn't support it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, maybe I missed something with installing the rom with this phone, as I said before, I am new to the Nexus.

You might can squeeze a little more, but </= 2 hours screen on time is generally what you can expect.

Seems pretty normal to me. With almost an hour of onscreen time 53% after almost 7 hours is pretty good.

Alright, thanks for the input. Sort of not what I expected, as this isn't much better battery life than my TB. Would anyone expect an improvement using just 3G? I don't typically use data on my phone anyone, as at home and at work I have wifi

Not a substantial one, no, but minimal improvement maybe.
EDIT: Unless the majority of your battery drain is coming from data usage.. Torrenting and such..

I somehow noticed a much better battery life in 4.2.2 than 4.2.1
I am running ParanoidAndroid 15th Feb release and AK 691 Pirates on my maguro.
I have disabled sync and only sync mails 2-3 times a day and complete sync once.
And screen on time between 2.5 to 3hrs is normal for the GNex.

Question Battery life on android 13 beta.

Im on android 13 beta.
I m charging phone 2 times per day.
I know is too early for some things because is beta version.
How battery life going at your pixel with android 13?

It's pretty bad my phone was fully charged and was listing to the radio out in the garden fence painting via WiFi and within few hours I here the low battery beep thought to myself it can't be flat looked and was on 9% I'm on 13 B3 latest hope they issue hotfix fast

Thought it was me, but yeah it drains very fast.

The a13b3 runs smoothly but drains crazy

Same thing here. Battery seems to drain much faster on A13B3 than it has on the previous builds.
I didn't spam press anything and it just triple posted my comment... Anyone with higher permissions can remove those duplicate posts.

Οk then so , it's not just me..
Keep patient...

Little bit smoother!

I'm on A13b3. This is sitting untouched overnight. I've also noticed it feels warm even without use.

I am not on A13 Beta, but have experienced abysmal battery life ever since updating to March update (A12L), April/May/June updates didn't change anything in that negative regard. Before, the phone barely lasted the day - since March, I have to top up every day. Reset didn't help. Never had those problems with my P4 XL. Right now, my P6 Pro is reminding me of my P3 - and not in a good way. To have massive battery anxiety throughout the day is not something I expected from a flagship phone with a 5000 mah battery.
