I remember emailing htc about the battery life issues on the phone and they just kept saying they knew what it was and an ota update would fix it in the near future. Now that ive done the ota and froyo i see no difference, is anyone noticing the same thing i am? I'm sick of barely getting a day when my friend with the evo 4g (ya the one that should be consuming more power) can get like over 2 days doing more than me.
I've actually noticed the opposite. I seem to be getting better battery life. With moderate use I can go 2 days without needing to charge. My friend with an EVO gets about the same. We were both running CM6 at the same time...which was eating my battery a lot faster than this.
The EVO has a higher capacity battery than the DINC. I actually have the same capacity as the EVO which may make a difference.
Same as before the upgrade...
No change for me either from Eclair to Froyo. I still cannot get more than a days use before charging. And I have the Seidio 1750mah battery. Actually, it seemed like I got more usage from the original 1300mah battery than I do from the Seidio.
Just FYI, I have erased my battery stats (from within ClockworkMod recovery) right after upgrading to Sky Raider's 2.01 ROM. So far I haven't noticed any difference from before. I.e., I still get another 30mins of charging whenever I power off my DI, and still only a day's use. My stats show most of my battery use is from the OS... so go figure...
Maybe I just need to give it some more time before drawing any conclusions...
blah
nope, same thing here...it sux so bad that htc wont fix this...its probably the most important part of the damn phone.

I dont have any issues with battery and have the verizon extended battery. I have not used any method to get rid of battery stats.
With Moderate use of 1 day I get an average of 50% - 60% ranging from 6am to 11pm
I notice a slight improvement from Eclair to Froyo.
Nope, the same thing, battery still sucks.

I guarantee you can find dozens of "battery life sucks" comments for every smartphone forum ever made.
Considering this battery has a mere 300mAh increase in capacity over the G1, has a much bigger screen, and a much faster processor, I am impressed with my DI and its battery life (8hrs with everything on but BT and dozens of apps running+).
FroYo is a slight improvement for me too.
Why not make this thread a poll?
+1, not a huge-awesome-giant-enormous improvement, but definitely noticeable. I'm running 12-15 apps simultaneously and getting probably 10-12 hours? I'll try and benchmark it tomorrow.
Ya I am using te extended seidio battery. You see the crappy thing is that I emailed HTC a month or 2 ago about the battery life and they said they knew what it was and that they would ota fix itsoon. Now we get a big ota and not much change. Let alone also I still have the issue where it drains to like 93% right after I unplug

After replacing the battery with a 1600 mah Seidio battery. I still get bad results. For example, during lunch today my phone was at 50% in my locker. After 4 hours, I was at 21%. My Sync, GPS, BT and Wifi are all OFF.
How is this possible?
I use to own a Nexus One and in 4 hours it would go down 2% with CM6. Is Gingerbread an issue here or does my phone need RMA repair?
2.3.3 gives me better battery than 2.1 or 2.2

superaosp from [email protected] stock kernel or redstars depends but cm7 and stock OTA gave me better battery than 2.2/2.1
I'm running stock 2.3.3 and battery life is by far the best over various android versions.
2.3.3 has some weird bug where every once in a while the system gets into a weird drain state like it doesnt go into deep sleep correctly. i just got hit with this last night. it does happen all the time, most of the time on 2.3.3 battery life is excellent. i will lose 6% over 8 hours. but when that awake bug DOES kick in, battery drops like yours did.
you just have to reboot and check it again, the bug likely will clear itself and you wont see it again, for a while.

yes, this is exactly what the bug is. sometimes randomly on GB the phone stays awake for no reason, for hours. but when this DOESNT happen, batteyr life is superb. i only get hit with this bug once a week or less.

I hope google resolves this issue! I was getting worried that I have a defective phone.

My N1 on 2.3.3 goes completely dead after 12hrs. I found the solution when doing a Google search. It's to go to Wifi Settings, Advanced, Wi-Fi sleep policy, and change it to Never. You'd think that would reduce battery life, but for some reason now my phone's battery life is very significantly improved. Now it's only down to about 30% after 19hrs when I put it on the charger.
It appears that 2.3.4 will address battery issues in Gingerbread.

That's pretty cool even though I've not had any major battery issues.
But improvements are always welcome
Here's a quote from your link:

I dont think its Gingerbread, ive used both stock and CM7 on my N1 and i was having good bat life on N1 stock gingerbread about 5-6 hours with heavy use, and with CM7 official rom i get 7-8 hours heavy use and up to 19 hours on days i barely use the phone, and on standby i can confirm 8 hours (while im asleep) it drains 6% by the time i wake up of course i do have it personalized and settings applied for bat savings.
I haven't encountered this bug with CM 7.0.3 (based on 2.3.3) but I found it very useful to let the phone just drain the battery completely once in a while (once in a few weeks) and than fully charge it.
After doing that, I can go through two days with regular usage of the device
I'm on CM 7.0.3, 2.3.3 and I'm only getting 13-15 hrs if I'm lucky. Wifi and bluetooth are off only syncing gmail and google contacts. I barely even touch my phone at work for 8 hrs and the battery life sucks.
Another weird thing is that once it gets to 15% left it just automatically dies and shuts down...very frustrating, I'm on the latest pershoot kernel too, the phone was given to me for free last month and it was originally purchased in Feb '10 so I just figure the battery is old and worn out.

No. Your battery is not aged, it just needs re-calibration.
One simple way is to re-calibrate your battery is to charge it when the phone is off or charge using a desktop charher, and you have to over-charge a bit - just leave the battery connecting to power source for an additional 1 hour or more, when the charging process has been completed.
This works every time for me.
Keep in mind that from time to time the battery may need to be re-calibrated again for peak performance.

Tried out the stock Kitkat and I'm not happy. Firstly, battery life has worsened, Stupid bluetooth won't turn off and no root or recovery available for it.
well it only came out Give it some time. ..

Not my findings at all - any of them. Perhaps you should venture in to the Android Development (802) forum... you could provide a more accurate response then...
For me, on the D802, battery life has gotten better. Especially idle/sleep seems better.

Tried out the G Pro 2 Kitkat port and OMG! Rock stable and battery life... I have no words to describe how good it is. I'm getting up to 10 hours of screen time, 4 hours of music and still have 18% left for reserve. One thing I've noticed on KK is that screen brightness has increased. 40% brightness on KK would be equivalent to 55% in the earlier version but with better consumption and idle. I went to bed with 91% battery and woke up 9 hours later with only 2% lost.
Hi there guys!
I just bought an used Note 3 N9005, from Orange, running Lollipop LRX21.
The thing is that.. the battery runs way toooo fast! Last night, around 1 AM, I went to bed.. the phone had 100% battery, and when I woke up, around 9 AM.. the battery was already at 92%
The phone had the wifi on... and that's all..
What should I do ? My last phone was an LG G2... and by the night.. from 100% it went no more than 1% until the morning.
LOL! 1% per hour is nothing at all to worry about mate. Maybe some task/ process is going on background or something, install Better Battery Stats and monitor. You can barely control Android, any background might run at any time, you normally can't control that. Or you can use Xposed and then install Power Nap and Amplify to lower the number of those background processes, but how Xposed is on 5.0 TouchWiz ROMs, well I won't recommend that.

Thank you! I Will install that app. But I find it weird.. to "eat" 1% per hour.. because on my old Nexus 5, and LG G2, both with Lollipop.. it was no more than 1% or 2% per night.. And thinking that the Note 3 has a huge 3200mah battery... that drives me crazy!

Old samsung battery -8%
New Samsung battery -1%
I knew it... mwahaha
Okay so I've placed a brand new battery in my phone and I get about 7h SoT and 10%.
Can you guys recommend me the best ROM from your personal experience? Without any kernels!
Thank you
Damn, is that an OEM battery or after market? I'd recommend ROMs with 3.18 kernels for now, because it drains a decent amount of battery. I got around 2-3 hours of sot on current unofficial pixel experience rom.

Personally, nothing beats the stock ROM is terms of battery life, still I am using lineage os 15.1 and satisfied with its battery backup as it charges superfast anyway, there is a multitouch bug on 8.1 which xioami hasn't fixed, hopefully it gets fixed in pie and I'll be back on stock. Btw how much they charged you for the battery?

I got spectacular battery life (approx. 7 hours SOT / 20% remaining) with the August security patch. I've been playing with custom ROMs, but I'm going to go back to it.
