The strangest thing has been happening with my battery life lately. I as well have gb 2.3.3 unrooted pos and I have been getting to around 50 percent battery and will usually have something like camera lock up so ill reboot. After the reboot though my battery goes back up to 95 percent and stayed above 90 the rest of the day. I'm very resourceful and turn off all data features when not in use but this was after recording 3.6 gigs of hd video. I have the seido extended battery and even atm its about 90 percent after being duly charged and up for about 2 hours off charger. I'll reboot around 50 percent again and check but for 3 days now it goes back up...strangest thing. Maybe worth a shot for you to check.

Mines pretty spastic also, yesterday it sat on 65% for 4 hours and today it was at 65 in a matter of 4 hours

The longest anyone has had it on their phones is like 15 hours. Give it a few days.
You won't be able to really tell for a few days when people stop picking up their phones every 10 seconds to play with it.

I fixed my gps early this morning and then set it up with a full charge to do a battery calibration. I turned 4G on to help it drain. I also used it to read xda for about 30 minutes earlier this morning (not sure why the battery stats don't seem to show everything that has been running). Here's where I'm at 8 hours later. I would say the battery life is pretty freaking great! Can't wait for some UV'ing once we get source.
Note: I have Overclock widget set to 1000/200 screen on and 400/200 screen off.

i somewhat second this i have left it unplugged all last night and i am at like 80-90 percent full with some what use..
I am still using juice defender, but my phone as been off the charger for almost 12 hours and I am probably around 75% battery left. I will be testing out turning off JuiceDefender tomorrow, but for now it looks amazing.
CRAPPPP
it some actually deads faster than 2.1
I've been having pretty fantastic battery life. So far the phone has been unplugged for 6 hours, I've been texting on and off all day, and played angry birds for about an hour. I'm sitting at 75%. Probably not fantastic but not bad.
I've noticed an improvement, but as to how much, I'm not sure. Maybe 20 to 40 percent better.

excellent battery life
61 percent with some youtube , texting surfing the web angry birds and 4g on(sleep mode for 4g works really well) and apperently my gps was on all day. Its been 7 hours and 32 minutes ..I would normally be at like 35 percent
I have definitely noticed an improvement. It seems as good as baked ultimate and that says a lot.

I am getting battery life like it's a completely different phone.
I was always rooted but with stock roms and kernels and on 2.1 my battery life was frighteningly bad. I have been on for well over 8 hours and using my phone off and on all day checking out froyo features and the battery indicator is showing still nearly full battery life. On 2.1 I would have had to pop it on the charger at around 2 pm today or earlier.
* I am going to be making a thread about LEGIT improvements that froyo gives us with this phone. There are a ton of piss and moan threads, but froyo adds a ton of features (several i'm sure I don't know about) and MUCH BETTER battery life. *

What kind of battery life are you seeing?

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.

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'm amazed at how much people use their phones sometimes... over 400 texts in a day? At that rate, you'd use more texts in a few days than I do in a month lol.
Impressive battery life, especially considering the amount of usage. When I've had relatively heavy use, I've managed to get the phone below 10% with ~19 hours since last charge. Pretty sure I didn't have that much actual usage though.
I miss the chance i get no update although i was registered. The update sounds good. How about wifi reception?
EDIT: I got update without signing up.
I'm on a bell atrix and I'm experiencing the same results from freezing and de bluring. I previously had about 12 hours of usage. Now I'm around 17 hours and that still was at 20%. That means when the update eventually rolls out it'll be even better. Now thats what I'm talking about

i too am amazed of the battery life after sbf'ing my phone and freezing allot of blur i did not use. i played with my phone all day yesterday, it was at 50% at 7pm. AMAZED..

Has it been confirmed when/if Bell Atrix users will be getting update? Thanks
I'm having the reverse problem. I probably get about 10 hours of use before my phone dies. I lose about 10% per hour with just playing music. Maybe my battery is screwed up.
I wish I could get the great battery life some of you report. I switched to battery saver and found the app "out of milk" was using between 56-71% cpu when completely off. Added that app to the auto end list in the factory task manager. Not sure what else I can do to improve battery life. Never gotten over 2 hours of display time and usually can't get that much.

Extended battery pack?

Yeah so I burn through my battery in 6 hours... people say that it can last 24 with heavy usage. But that's total BS. So is there an extended battery pack that I could get?

If you burn through your battery in 6 hours youre doing something wrong. Try.draining your battery all the way and then charge it over night

You should consider rooting it and running GreyBlur. I was running through the battery like crazy, actually got AT&T to swap for another Atrix and still had the same problems. GreyBlur really improved my battery life and I'm able to get through a day of medium usage and still have about ~40% when I plug it in at night.
So if im going through the battery fast that means it could be a problem with the battery?

I have a celltronix universal portable power pack. (4000mAh)
Has two USB ports to charge stuff, comes with multi tips to charge stuff, but I just use the usb cord that came with my atrix. Outputs 5v, charges in about 4 hours.
I don't use it much on my atrix, but I have before, just plug it into the usb port and recharges my phone, can get almost 2 full recharges out of it for the atrix.
I like it cause I can also use it to charge other items also! Used it for my iphone 3gs before I got the atrix.
You can charge power pack from wall, car, or comp usb.(mini-usb plugin to charge it.
Just google "celltronix universal portable power pack" it will pop up on a number of sites. ( I bought mine in a truck stop)
You burn through it because you have a defective product.

Yea, burning through it in 6 hours means you definitely have a bad battery. GreyBlur destroyed my battery life though, not exactly sure why it increased some peoples' but decreased others.
I had greyblur loaded once then went into recovery wiped everything then installed again first time battery barely made it to 4-5 pm when I went to for at 8 now 13+ hrs unplugged at 9am made it till 12:30am id say that's awesome. U probably got bad battery get couple new ones from what I hear they r cheap. Every phone is different t as far as battery and speed like my battery is awesome but when I run the graphic test I get 2300-2500 scores when I see others getting 2600-2800+

Ok. So i'll go to the AT&T Store and what should I say so that theyll give me a new one? They are hardass's and I need to convince them, any help on that part?
Don't lie. Tell them you think the battery life has been unsatisfactory. And with a battery that big you should be able to get better than 6 hours.
I burn through my battery pretty quick too though. Today it was dead around 6 hours (11-5) charged and now near death again. But I don't have a screen timeout, notifications on, downloading podcasts on listen(listening to them on speaker), everything on 3G. I don't care what phone you have, that's killing the battery. Its hard to make a battery last on a lazy Sunday.

Battery life

What kind of battery life are you guys getting?
I was getting really bad battery life, barely getting 4 hours screen on time(100-2%). Well now that I've had the phone for a week, it seems to have settled. Today I'm going to break the 7 screen on time barrier(100-2%)! I think this is great! This is with auto brightness set around 40% I think. I dont understand the auto brightness.
This battery life thing was KILLING me. I was ready to return the phone if it didn't improve. Well the battery has settled and the improvement is almost doubled!! Once I hit 2% I'll screen shot and post!
Here's the pics!
I have to say this. Even without root or an unlocked bootloader. I'm pretty satisfied with this device. The last android I used was an S5 and this little guy is like it, on steroids! Out of any androids I've had the S5 was the only phone I kept for longer then 6 months. I had it for 14 months. I hope to do the same with this phone. Though with a locked bootloader. I dont know if that will happen. I think if this device was unlocked and undervolted. We could get another hour of screen on time out of her atleast. We'd atleast figure out wth is going on with Android systems and put a stop to it!
Any one care to comment?
I love it so far using my s7 since February 29.
Finally got my s7

Yea, over 100 packages disabled. I have also gone through a warranty replacement. Some others suggested debloating could hurt battery so I even tried adding it all back but recently removed it all again.
Is anyone who is getting great battery life using a gear s2? Only thing I can think of
I am not getting much over 4 hrs screen time.
I was getting 4 hours as well. I dunno. Im consistently getting 6 hours atleast. Well... My phone better then yours ?
At first i was getting 5 hours sot, I debloated and a week later it's constantly at 6:30 SOT. Used package disabler pro from app store, the made debloat packages thats on the app. Great phone by the way. I gave up the note4 and don't regret for a second. I still have the note and every time I pick it up put right back down and immediately go back to s7
The new update seems to have helped with the android system destroying the battery. Normal when I get home from work im at 61-65% I'm at 73% right now with 2 hours 22 minutes screen on time
No improvement here I don't think. 4 hours off the charger, 20 min calls and 20 min SOT, 88%. Android system and OS are lower but still high
Your usage really matters here. I have a buddy who got this phone same say and he is about to hit 2 full days with 5:30 screen on time. Which I think it's pretty dam good. Phone sleeps well. My usage is different and I get 5:30 hours but only 1 full dy (24 hrs) consistent

I'm seeing better than expected battery life, averaging between 4 to 6 hours SOT. I will say this, what's odd is it goes from 100 to say 85 percent pretty quick and then it's a slow drain. I haven't even got it down below 10 percent yet.

Interesting observation, I get to 85% really quickly (i.e., in 30 minutes SOT).
