I wanted to start a new thread comparing which GB roms have the best battery life....
I'm running CM7 and battery life isn't that great.

^THANKS^^ battery life on Simply honey 3.8 was pretty good....
This thread is a great idea, but let's put some numbers down rather then, "I get really good battery life!"
CM7: I get about 13 - 15 hours with minimal use on edge network.
Minimal use for me is about 2 or 3 phone calls about 30 seconds to a minute each. Less then ten text messages, very little to no web surfing. Check weather, look at news headlines.
Well, i have only tried CM7 and MIUI, wich is CM7 based, and to be honest, battery life is the reason that i came back to Froyo...just terrible batery life...i can't be charging my phone every 5-6 hours. On Froyo im using Super DragonModz on Project V, and i havent charged my phone in two days, and still its @ 25%...average/min use. Until GB gets good battery life, i might not be using another GB rom as a daily driver...
My battery just went down 2% on a 40 second phone call with my lady. Simply honey. It drains bad. This is my 4th cycle.

thats odd...have you tried doing a battery calibration....
anyways i get 10 hours on Revolution rom 2.0 with moderate use
moderate use -check xda couple times ,on h network always with background data ,some texting,3-4 30 second calls and ocing to 1.2ghz
Yea. I calibrated. I thought it was just a bad flash but after multiple flashes I had the same result.

Blitzkrieg 18 to 20hrs moderate use 3-4 hrs screen time one.
Pretty good if u ask me.
Screenie attached 30% batt left. Calibrated two days ago.
With every type of battery caliberation it takes a few cycles of charges for it to actually work. I use sgs tools and apply script and that deletes battery bin files. But doing that is not gonna take effect right away i hope u guys know that.
Im on cm7 and my battery usage is better then i expected. With me using either google music or Audio galaxy streaming for a 8 hour workshift and texting and websurfing during a lunchbreak and when that shift is done i still have about 20-to 30 % left sometimes as high as 40% But if im not streaming music and just doing normal things like playing cut the rope and web surfing and emailing, texing etc i can go on all day with out a charge. So maybe u guys have a bad battery???
Simply honey 3.8 was eating up 3-4% per hour just idling and much more when actually bring used. Back to Trigger.

simply honey 3.8 has really good battery life i get 19 hours moderate use with kb5 modem and OC'ed to 1.2 ghz
On Revolution Rom, I can get 16-17 hours of heavy use, which is flashing a new build almost every hour, going crazy on the battery life testing. But people have reported about 24 hours of battery with moderate use.
Asgard 3.0 and 3.1 Both are giving me 13-15 hours with moderate use gaming (my kid 45min-1 hour) internet use, tweeting, email and moderate to heavy phone use (20-40 calls per day) and 1 hour of tunein radio.
I got an average of 15 hours on Blitzkreig with 15-20 short (under 3 minute ) calls, 35-40 texts and an hour or so surfing.... plus a little gaming. I am at 5 hours on Asgard 3.1 and 78% battery.

I am running the Revolution Rom RC1 also and I'm getting about the same battery life. It's about the best that I have gotten on my phone, Bionix Final 2.1 aside. Great job, keep up the good work Ali.
Revolution ROM's battery life is pretty good.
Can't compare with others since I've just started flashing GB roms now (I had tried MIUI before but back then the battery sucked so much it doesnt even count)
thanks for starting this thread, it was just what i was looking for.
i used CM7 awhile ago and the battery life was pretty terrible so i switched back to froyo. so now i was looking around again for reports of battery life now after a couple months of waiting, and looks like its still pretty bad. i guess im still sticking with froyo.
but hey i still appreciate all the work the devs do to bring GB to the vibrant
with all the MINIMUM use or HEAVY use
can you guys post the screen on time with it to shows how heavy/ minimum you use....
I've been using Blitzkrieg for a week or so and at first it seemed really good but the last few days it has been draining fast for some reason. I also have had it reboot a couple of times while on the phone the last 2 days. I'm not sure if it's related....

Just recently got an Incredible. Using the HTC extended battery (2150 mAh) and I'm still only seeing ~14 hours of battery life. Also currently using CM7.
What is everyone else seeing?
I'm using the Redemtion Rom 2.2 with Incredikernel 12/21, and with the stock battery I can easily get over 20+ hours out of it. I'm also always on my phone. What kernel are you running? That might be your problem.
I'm using an 1800 battery and regularly kill my battery in half that time. I'm actually happy if I get 7 hours out of it. Since you have the 2150 battery pick up a wall charger for the stock battery and carry that on you too.

I'm running SkyRaider Athena 1.2 with Lou's #9, and I get around 20 hours. Pretty standard usage, nothing crazy.
Miui with invisiblek #28 or whatever cyan nightly on stock kernel. 30 hours +/- isn't a problem. Stock battery.

I am seeing about 18hrs.
Running seidio 3500. Moderate to very heavy use i see around 16 hours. With little use to moderate a full day and a half to two days. Running incredibly re-engineered with ziggy's 012111 bfs kernel ocing to 1.036. How you people are getting 20+ hours on the stock battery is beyond me.

I'm with you on this. Although I send around 1000 texts a day use the phone probably an hour tops and use the internet a good bit. I call this average usage some call it insane so maybe some peoples average usage is barely talking it.

Well,
I was on the stock 2.2 OTA and I was doing ok. it was better than 1.1.
However I've recently been running 2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865331) and my battery life has improved a little bit.
I'm running virtuous 3.2 and usually after a the day I usually get home with about 60% with pretty light usage.

With very light usage (listening to audible books via audible.com app for about 6-8hrs, 5-10mins of phone calls, limited internet) with the 2150 battery and Lou's #4 kernel I got 52hrs from charger to 14%. That is definitely not the norm, but I thought it was pretty cool =p.
Normal moderate to heavy usage I get 24ish hours from charger to 10-15%.
Na up where I live everyone gets the $5 or $10 Verizon o ly prepaid texting plan. So that's the only way we talk.

Uh 1000 texts a day. Lets say you get 5 hours of sleep. That's 19 waking hours. Thats like one text message sent every minute for 19 hours. Not to mention received. i hope you're exaggerating hahah
I use mine kind of heavily with texting maybe a couple hundred total per day. 2-3 hours screen on total, maybe 15 minutes of talk time. I get 19 hours according to Battery Left. Running CM7
I'm averaging. Quite honestly there are many times where I don't get a break to actually put my phone down for like an hour or so at a time. But I judge the thousand a day based on me resetting my handcent set counter and two weeks later iI was at just over 15000 sent.

52 hours really? I guess its possible but next time you think you could take a screen shot of Whats been using the battery folder? Im really curious about this.

Sure, I am playing around with CM 7 nightlies at the moment, but I'll switch back to my old set up and see if I cant get a ss of a number close to that for you.
As I said though, it was very light usage for a few days.
I was running CM6 with invisiblek #18 and getting over 18 hours on the stock battery with pretty consistent use
Using SR 3.5 rom and chad's latest incredikernel.
With mostly having the screen off (no more than 45 min on) it lasted 48+ hours with 22% to spare - note that is not my normal usage, just a test.
Normal usage for me is:
Solid 5-6+ hours of screen on, and it'll last a good 23 hours (as of last night, long day lol) -- Most of the time after a full day I'll plug it in with 40%+ left.
Daily usage also includes
- 45mins of GPS usage
- 2-4 hours of Pandora streaming
- ~50 txts
- ~20 minutes of phone calls
- Youtube for ~45 mins
- E-mail / web ~ an hour
- 20 minute of games
I practically live on my phone but usually make it to the end of the day with 40+% left, depending on the day may be less- but I've never gotten the notification since the Kernel and ROM change.
Overclocking above the standard 998 will drain your battery pretty quickly, more than most other things you're doing. I noticed this and also noticed that overclocking didn't do much for me because 998 was smooth for every game I was playing.
Using HTC extended battery also and I do not bump charge, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871051
I just find that hard to believe. If i stream pandora for an hour with a full charge it will drain my battery down about 20% thats using lou's #8 kernel and his redemption 2.3 rom. Thats with a 3500 seidio battery after a wall charge not a plugged in charge.
Not doubting you one bit but damn thats alot of tasking on a stock extended battery too end the day with 40% left.

I have searched around the forum but cant find any recent discussions on what is the best HD2 rom, i recently used CoreDroidGBX and i find the battery life to be pretty good on that (Lasts me till end of day with light use (Light use being screen on about 2-3 hours out of that day) End of day being 7:00 Unplugged Low bat around 5-6:00) But i see about 300-500 mA useage when im actually doing anything on my phone(But just like 2-3mA when its off and i disable data)
So i keep experimenting with different roms and i am wondering what you guys have experienced the best battery life with on your HD2's.
Also i have to manually toggle off data, is there a app to auto do it, like automatically whenever the screen is turned off? I had my phone on battery nearly 24hours (Although i was on my laptop and only used it for like 20 mins of phone calls and a few texts) but still a real full day was awesome

Coredroidgbx? There is a Coredroid series by Sergio and a hyperdroidgbx by Pongster. Both get rave reviews for battery. I run hyperdroid and I get 18 hours of normal use no problem. If you consider watching YouTube and flash video all day normal there is no rom that will last doing that.
Do you prefer a sense or a non sense build? GB or Froyo? CM7 or ASOP?

I would say u need to check some nand built on your own as different phone respond differently to rom built. hyperdroidgbx and rafroid hd 4 are good option to move ahead and check
+1 agree.
Thoese are my favorites too.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
tried using CoreDroidGBX before also..
smooth... but battery is almost the same as other builds..
In my opinion the best battery life was in unofficial nightly CM7 by charsingh (1-3mA in standby). But due to some issues i had to switch to Typhoon CM, battery drain is notably higher (6-10mA standby) but for me it is the best ROM ever.
I think that the functionality of the ROM is litle bit more important than small diferences in battery drain.
Motoman234's Moto-MyTouch4G v3.3
Nand build and the best I've tried so far. I can get 2 days with light use (text and moderate calls) and a full day with fairly heavy use ie: web for 1-3 hrs and 1-2 hrs of various games along with calls and texting. I call my family on the east coast frequently and a 2 1/2 hour call is not unusual, loose maybe 20 to 25percent on the call depending on my signal. Great rom, a chef that responds and helps, again nand build. totally functional for me no issues flashed 4 different phones to it so far! .
I as a rule, leave wifi on always and use bluetooth, location, and background data only as needed. Blue tooth and background data will suck the juice right out! Still, if I forget and leave those on I can still get a full 10 hr day out of a single charge, provided i dont spend hrs surfing.
+1 for Cyanogen Mod 7. I tried a lot of DesHD builds but CM7 has the longest battery life by far for me. One charge lasts me about two days with light use. With all DesHD builds i never made it past 24 hours. Usually even less than that.
Furthermore CM7 is just beautiful, especially with cyanbreadX
i'm on rafdroid 4.0 and unplugged this morning at 8 am and the time now is 5:30 and i'm at 60% with moderate use and wifi off.
i will say though that if i play bubble blast 2 that thing sucks the battery like nothing and i'm not sure why. it's amost 1% battery per min i can feel the phone get hot from use.
Running cm7 unoficcial right now and seem to be getting good batter life, but I have seen it actually use 700mA (srsly) when just charging ..
But can idle forever. But lost 15% in an hour during lunch...

I just put HyperDroidGBXv7 on my phone a couple days ago and its been great on battery life so far. I unplugged my phone about a 12hrs ago and its at 74%, averaging about 3-4ma on standby. No classes today, so I've only used it lightly today for some quick wifi browsing, short gaming (Angry Birds), and about 30 texts.
Ok been trying cm7 and for some reason when actually using my phone I seem to get a steady 535mA battery useage, any suggestions on fixing this?

Anybody know why my actually using my phone usage is so darn high? I just flashed to the stock rom, reinstalled magldr + Clockwork and im about to flash android again.
Doubt that will help but i need battery life..

Connected to Wifi each time I go home, no 3g/ I'm roaming permanently due to no coverage in Oregon. No 4G either.. my sig says the rom.. Stock EC05, tailored to my liking.
And ur set up n how's ur coverage? Do u use wfi, 4g, rom?

I get upwards of 9-10 hours of screen time... epicurean v7 barebones. sync every hour and go launcher EX but i always keep my brightness on the lowest setting for everything. i dont go outside much during the day I txt all day long and take phone calls ranging from 5-45 minutes quite a few times. I unplugged my phone as it reached 100%, overnight it stayed at 100%!!!!! with ec05 it would be down to 45% by the morning, even on bonsai. I restarted just to make sure it wasnt stuck, nope still at 100% ive never seen that on a phone... 6h on without a percentage drop. Its still at 66% right now, ive been using it all day i expect to get 25 hours out of this charge. Simply amazing

What's your setup?
I'm on SRF 1.2 with Genocide 2.0 with EC05. Stock Battery.
At 41% at 2am -- unplugged at about 10am this morning (~16h). About an hour on calls, an hour with screen on (texting and some videos), no signal 27% of the time. My stats would be more accurate if I hadn't rebooted an hour ago. Oh well. Forecasted to to last another 10-15 hours + if I don't charge tonight.
I would love to see the stats you're getting with the amount of usage I have! I might get 2 days or more on one charge, and that would be simply awesome! Though I'm pretty happy that SRF is giving me solid stats for a day.
Btw, I'm a noob at this, so the most information you can give about your setup will be super helpful. I just learned to root and flash different ROMs/kernels last week. Also, is the ROM/kernel combo you have stable and most everything works? So far in my brief research SRF 1.2 is the best out of all of those... but I guess to each his own no? Thanks for your help!

Well Its been over 24 hours and i still have 14% My stats are all jacked up because i had to reboot 6 hours ago, but i wont be doing any flashing tomorrow so I shouldnt have to reboot unless i get some erroneous FC. Ill post a screenie around this time tomorrow.
my setup is just like i said, EG22 modem, epicurean v7 no addons id guess that means im running it unjournaled, go launcher ex honeycomb theme, and a stock battery. using go sms and no facebook, twitter etc... id think they were a big drain. I flashed straight over the latest EC05 Bonsai, i thought its battery life was good, but even with undervolts it was still usually 8-10 hours, maybe. No undervolts or overclocks. my benchmarks arent great, but my phone runs cool, smooth and for much much longer. I thought i was tied to a charger before.
25 hours, and counting, i want to see how long it will go.
Honestly this one kind of snuck up on me. I wasn't trying for a really long life but it ended that way.
RandomRom 2.3.4 "Hawk", superfreeze enabled.
31 hrs on battery
3 hrs 45 min screen on.
I was using a stock battery but it is a new stock battery I just got it about a week ago.
12% left
i did plug it in for about 30 sec to get some files off of it.
yup
Well its been as long as im gonna stay up, but i pulled it off the charger this morning, i kept it on for the first hour using it, and it stayed at 100% for the first hour. ill just post pics. still at 40%

I'm going to second the bizweastness of RandomRom Hawk. In terms of battery life, I just got 28 hours on one charge.
Caveat 1. About 4 hours of that was me sleeping. But still.
Caveat 2. I changed Tegrak scaling to "Powersave".
Not sure if #2 really makes any difference at all... I'm trying "Conservative" now... would be curious to hear if anyone knows for a FACT that makes a difference.

I'm torn between RandomROM Hawk and Scrambled eggs epicurean v7... And to make matters more tough in choosing SRF 1.2 (with genocide 2.0 and EC05) is still at 71% after 15 hours... though with light use (55m screen on and 11h with wifi on).
What do you guys think as far as battery life and quality of the ROMs?
15 hours 44 min on, 30% left, display on for 3 h 10m played a fair amount of music and watched youtube for a while, text all day and took a few short phone calls. Epicurean is where its at for me, but im considering a nandroid and trying randomrom for a day, see whats up with it. Id just hate to ruin what i have now lol if i put it down and only text people to reply then it plateaus, i like that, there does seem to be some memory leakage somewhere though.
i was with srf up to 1.2, i found it to be buggy, and i got a lot of fc with it. i tried to use it, but after a week i gave up and switched to frankenstein which is a good rom, stable and fast but power hungry, i switched to bonsai then to epicurean... so far its the best.

Dnt nw how u guys get 1 day or more mine gets down in 12-13hrs heavy usage connectd to 2g completely

2 days with medium usage 3G, 4 days 2G heavy usage.
I have always said this phone has really good battery life, and for me it does.
right now my battery is on 32% and from the last charge past 1d 8h 12m with medium use
I had 3-4 days with stock 2.1 with my typical light usage. Now with stock 2.3.3 this increased to 5-6 days.
(few calls per day, no games, no music, 3G almost always disabled)
Compared with latest 2.1 with bb 67 on stock 2.3.3 battery life is worse. 1 day with heavy usage, and 2 days with light usage - 2g connected constantly.
I suggest everybody post screenshots and what rom you are using.

Sometimes, it doesn't even hold for on day. Heavy usage. Web, Facebook, gmail sync, twitter sync (and a couple of others) perhaps I should change the sync.

Does the mobile networks play a role when it comes to battery life in terms of network coverage etc... Mine fully charged with average usage lasts less than 24 hours. Well i do a bit of surfing and FB and mail sync in on. Is it due to that ? I did a calibration as well after flashing wolfs rom from stock.
Pls advice !

One hour of you tube? playing videos obviously... thats just fine, i do pretty much the same but with gaming instead of youtube and a couple of hours talking, wifi and 3g always on, sync every 30 mins constantly checkin facebook, twiter and xda till ot get to arond 15% in like 7 hours
running wolfbreak´s gb 4.0.3 ROM with stock kernel and oc and uv (they work fine together for me)
There's a theory.....and i personally tested it and it works....
if you wanna get a great battery you must charge it at the percent of 20 or 15.....and it lasts a 2 days...
and i charged it at 0%..it keep about 4 hours charging...and it doesnt last a day....
im not very sure.....test it guys and see it if it works and tell me the results.....
dont forget about the THANKS botton.....
these threads are pointless imo...
everyone's usage is different, and you always get people saying "oh my phone lasts 3 weeks on a single change".... Pfft sure it does
There is no point in really comparing, yes you can get great battery life if you don't use your phone but what does that prove?

So what?
I'm giving my opinion on the topic of battery life comparisons in general, it was not any way offensive to you.
I'm simply stating that unless there is a way to objectively measure that the usage was the same, what does "this many hours" actually really mean?
Plus everyone's ideas of "moderate","heavy", etc... are completely different.

Hey guys,
I charge at 15% and my battery lasts for 7 hours. I use 2G data on always, no wifi, no gps, no music, no videos, but heavy surfing and apps download and update.
I think this battery life depends on the climate conditions where u stay.
I stay in India where temperature is above 40 deg.

Guys..
I just missed out 1 more thing..
I also use JUICE DEFENDER ULTIMATE. This has definitely increased my battery life to double.

So, what's the deal with hd2 with nand adroid and battery life? Is it poor? I mean I still have to do a full day test I just got my hd2, but what is to expect? And there's any extended batteries that you guys could recommend
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
It really depends on what build you use, the kernel it's based on and how you use your phone.
I use my phone all day with internet connection, I get about 13 hours out of a charged battery, that's with WiFi almost constantly on and using Whatsapp, Facebook and browser a lot and beside that the occasional game.
This is on Hyperdroid CM7.
With less use of the phone and turning off the WiFi connection I can get about 25 - 26 hrs on a fully charged battery. If I really try hard I can get 2 full days out of the battery (that means almost no use of WiFi and turning off the data connection as much as possible)
Mind you this battery is 1 year old and abused (quick half charges every now and then)
The battery life of the HD2 isn't the best. But with a good build and a program like SuperPower or JuiceDefender you can get pretty good results (atleast a full day of using your phone.. which to me is exactly what I want.)
I personally do not have experience with extended batteries, I'm still on my stock HD2 battery
So far on hyperdriid the battery is been not really good, is only Been maybe 2 hours without wifi and screen brightness all the way to thebottom and is already at 76% not good at all lol I will let it drain and try again tomorrow.

Like bever86 said, it depends on which build you use. And unfortunately you can't know which rom has the lowest battery drainage without flashing and checking out yourself.
Here's some of the rom's i tested:
UltimateDroid 3.3 - was okay. I got at least a day with it.
I tried some version of MIUI which was pretty bad. It didnt last from 8am to 1pm.
WindowsPhone7 - was okay too. Pretty much the same with the UltimateDroid.
Now I'm using SENSATION XL V 2.5 stock ALL IN ONE. I just flashed it yesterday but it seems very good. I used wifi to download apps all day and it hasnt even dropped to %60.
Right now I'm with hyperdroid and dorimanx.... its awful... if I use the phone for 20 minutes idk, browsing with 3g the battery drops Maybe 15 % is alot even. With screen with minimum brightness and not overcllocked.... I don't know what to do, I don't have money for a bigger battery and I could sell the phone but nothing good is available for under 200 used. Uhmmm what to do what to do...

I Easily get 14 hours of pretty heavy usage on hyperdroid, with an extended battery I can get 3 days.
It depends a lot on how you configure your OS, how many apps are auto-sync, signal strength and the health of your battery.
Last one can't be underestimated, your battery losses about 10% of capacity per year under the best possible conditions. In realistic usage, your battery is junk after a couple of years.
I run my phone OC'd with 3g and auto sync. Before I replaced my battery half an hour of browsing would drain about 15%, same setup new battery, the drain is about 3%.
