I noticed in the M8 general thread that many people were posting awesome battery life shots, but I have a question I hope someone could answer.
Are those shots using the Power Save mode, or before? I didn't see any icon in the top left of those shots. Thanks for any replies! I'll continue to sit here and twiddle my thumbs while waiting on Amazon to ship the dev edition.

Ive been looking around and around, and there is no talk about fixing the multimedia sound on Android for the TP2, is this something that is being worked on, if sound worked on android, I would use it 100% and I would give a donation too! can someone fill me in?
same here!
If you guys even TRIED TO READ THE FIRST post on the thread he had Specifically said that SOUND does not work.
Although, I think its a mattar of patience until it comes because I am as well excited for sound.
Read the threads!
Have faith, the 5/10 GPS update came with almost no hint of an update in the main thread, so it could surprise you. I wouldn't base the talk on here with what's going on with the devs. Especially because most of the regulars know to just play it cool and appreciate when updates do come, knowing that it is being worked on.

I have a feeling its gonna come sooner than we think. Might be as a surprise update that they dont tell us about and we just find out ourselves.
whats going to happen once everything is working on this build? No one would have anything to nag about to developers then... it be funny alot of times reading these threads with same questions asked Daily. People want to jump right into the mix without doing their own research. a little reading goes a long way up here, seriously.
Developers are awesome! Whoever complains is an unappreciative bastard.
After using it for a couple of days, I think power management is in higher priority for me. The battery runs way too hot and battery lasts a short period of time. With proper power management, we can use touch pro2 as everyday phone as long as legs or waists can sense vibration.
Sound is the next priority.

Are you OC'd or something? Battery lasts almost as long as WM and doesnt run hot at all on mine.

These kind of posts are funny because they strike me as being overly sensitive.
If you read the original post, it is NOT a complaint. And he wasn't being unappreciative. And no one said the Dev. are not awesome.
looks like someone had too much coffee.
i'll agree with outback,battery runs hot and battery does not last nearly as long as a normal winmo 6.5 boot. I don't think pm has been implemented
Hello friends,
As you may or may not notice depending on your frequency here on xda, we have many people with wide results in the battery department, especially with leaks.
The problem is, these reports are simply not consistant. Posting "I lost 6% in 1" min does nothing for anyone. This post is not to make fun or to bash but to awaken potential ways to help each other.
If you are suffering from poor battery, grab this app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Its called better battery stats and the dev is nice enough to allow it for free to xda members. One of its primary features in our case is tracking down wake locks and kernel wake locks. Instead of posting "my battery life is horrible" do some investigating. Try to find out why. Help out yourself, or hell, if Samsung or sprint are here, maybe you'll help them too.
Just a thought, but srzly, "battery life sucks" is no gud.
So as the leaks progress, feel free to share experiences. Help users help you with locks because I can assure some of your poor battery is not experienced by everyone. And if it is, then we can all determine why.
If you need help understanding the app or how to use it, and you can't figure it out from the apps in app help section then ask.
I've got to say, coming from the Evo 3D, this phone has way better battery life for me. I'm not one to pay close attention to battery stats, screen on time, etc. because I'm usually near a charger every where and hardly ever let it go below 40%. I completely understand what you're saying about the user reports though. My favorite is when a rom gets released, 1 hr later you get the "How is battery life?!" Hopefully members will take you're advice and start looking more closely at it and give better info

Bolded has always been one of those things that made me get a good chuckle.
Good post OP, thanks for the link.
You can also check the "Show CPU Usage" in Developer setting" if you are on an ICS leak and want real time feedback...

+1 I would have to agree with that one myself but it also make me wonder what the heck is wrong with people...LOL
Also as stated previously when coming from a HTC device this is like almost having an extended battery but I will make reference in here of battery life in the future... thx
Yeah, I just came from the OG EVO 4G and it's like having an extra battery. I was looking at posts about bad battery life and chuckling to myself.
But I will install that app and track mine, if we/I can improve it then I'm all for it. Be nice if we can get a number of people on board so we have a good pool of stats to work with, might find something.

I installed BBS but what exactly do I look for? How do I know what's killing my battery? This app just looks like a bunch of numbers and colored lines to me, lol.

Hello Guys im just wondering about the battery life in the one x? how long it lasts?
is it good for a heavy user? and from ur experience is it worth an update from DHD to one x?

There you go. The screenshots will be a good indicator of how long the batteries roughly last and what each person is doing.

Again Thanks A Lot Bro
For me: 3hrs approx. screen on (auto-brightness, 1.29.x.11 version) (with gaming,internet = heavy usage).
I looked to find a similar thread but i didnt see one.
I have been reading in different posts where people have mentioned how their battery life has been with combinations of roms and kernels. I would like to know everyones opinion and their results. From my test and observations, i lose around 10% and hour on my galaxy nexus (gsm version). I seem to get around the same amount of battery life if i use jb or a ics rom. I have seen people claiming they lose 5% an hour and even 1% an hour. Also if you would include any apps you use that seem to help with battery life. Thanks.
This is a small sample of battery life threads.

Most of these threads are closed because no one wants to help. The thread gets closed before it has a chance to get going. Im trying to get a decent thread going where people post what works best for them. That isnt on here that ive seen. I know its a matter of process of elimination but im just curious.
they get abandoned because there are a billion "which rom/kernel get the best battery life' threads.
seriously. try them out.. there is no 'ZOMG THE BEST ROM/KERNEL COMBO EVAR!'
There's a reason why those threads ramble on then get closed. Battery life is extremely subjective.
I have tried them. I know what im doing with kernels and roms as far as testing and flashing. Im just curious what has worked out for other people. I am a flashaholic, i just think it would be interesting to see what other people are using.

Precisely. Not to mention that a vast majority of the differences are just placebo effect.

i know and thats what i want. The point of this thread is for people to post what they are using. Period.
Nevermind. I will create a new thread and reword it. Can this thread be closed?
and it will get closed.
read the response from the mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27860169&postcount=4
As has been mentioned before, it's all personal preference. Something others have done in the past, that is welcomed, was testing each ROM/kernel for things like battery life, linpack scores or anything else measurable.
Thread Closed.
I hope I post this in the right place...
So my Q is this: What is the best all around ROM that is stable and give the best battery life / performance?
Thanks,
Just a heads up this thread will most likely get locked.
The correct answer is they are all the best. Try them all till you find what you like.

Well I don't understand why that would be as I am probing as a new SG3 user for information but in any case, thanks for the info.
BTW:
I don't really want to just try one because I may just go with a different phone if I don't feel like I can get the battery life and performance with stability I am after. Thus the phone will still be in factory condition so to speak.
Battery life and performance have to many variables to say one person's will be the same as another.

Like speed said your best bet is to find out which one works best for you. some roms absolutely suck on my phone while others love it on theirs. And vice versa.

The problem is that what is best for one may not be the best for another. Asking vague questions about battery life and performance won't really net you the data you need to make an informed decision. What sort of battery life and performance are you looking for? Even then, how you use your device may impact the performance of the ROM compared to how someone else may use theirs.
I view custom ROMs as something for people who like to take their device and tinker with it until they find a sweet spot that suites them. There are some very good choices but what will be best for you is for for you to decide.
Well stated by experienced and helpful users, thanks all.
