Check out the Simply Honey thread. I posted a pic of my use yesterday. over 31 hours with 10% left. Yes light use (calls, texts, XDA app, facebook, gmail, browser) but moderate will easily get you a full day.
Spare batteries are like $3 a piece....buy some! Amazon is my friends lol.
Not at all.
No. But you can get a Samsung genuine 1800mah battery from the Galaxy S2 4G Touch. Battery fits perfect and the bonus gets CM7 closer to the battery life of Froyo ROMS running stock batteries. $23.

Thanks very much, Alienz, it sounds fantastic, where one can buy it?
I have found just about on par battery life with the JVQ/JVR/JVS ROMS in the dev section. Im on simply stock JVS with PaulDiddy remix theme. Went to bed with 100% battery power and 9 hours passed I was at 89%, so it sleeps fine.
Only thing I was worried about was flahing the GB boot loaders. After hitting start in Odin and changing underwear all was fine.
on lidroid 2.9.1.

Just buy an extra battery lol
I'm running Biffmod and I get pretty much the same (honestly I think it's a bit better) as when I was running froyo. Easily make it through the day with light/moderate use. Also, I have a USB port in my car, so I plug it in whenever I'm driving around.

You must have a lot of background apps running or something. I get 16 - 17hrs easy on MIUI, and that's with moderate to heavy use. Lots of texts and checking up on my World War character and Words with Friends...

Is it just me? I really can't believe it is. I mean there isn't even 3G where I live so my phone is set to 2G permanently, yet I can't find a Froyo ROM to last even a day. Even with all my tweaks and minimalistic settings, no luck at all.
What has been your experience on any of the Froyo roms?
Anderdroids AOSPish is the first and only froyo rom I've flashed. I was running mostly either stock or bionix stuff prior to this. I'm now getting, by far, the best battery life I've experienced since buying my phone a few months back.
Maybe give it a try if you haven't already.
Same...with JI6 I get better battery life. Everyone else it seems like they get better battery life with 2.2
I am getting GREAT life with onyx r3.1. Screen shots attached. I went over 24 hours and still had 50% battery left. That was with light usage. I included display time to show that there was an hour and 42 minutes of "usage" and also included a systempanel shot showing that in standby, it has very little power consumption.
compared with my own usage, I get better life with Froyo. Mainly because of the google cloud for push notification for IM apps. before my IM app would drain the battery due to pulling.

Use this and your battery life more than doubles. It is very comfortable, rubberized coating, and the battery rocks. The door is quite thin considering and fits comfortably in the hand. They are also going to make custom clear protectors for the entire phone and have them up for sale within 2 weeks.

Same here. Flashed 12 yesterday and love it for everything EXCEPT the awful battery life.
Is there any other Froyo ROM that does not show text messages in the call log, because that's the biggest reason I am using Macnut 12 right now... ?
Ive been using the Odin Froy for almost a week and i get better battery life that stock JI6. I have yet to condition the battery so Im sure Ill get better after I do that. Ive had good luck so far with this.
it really does depend on the kernel you're using. I know TW for a lot of the newest releases uses a modified I9000 kernel, which causes battery drain, relatively speaking.
Check This out:
Yes, that is hr:mm. and my phone had been running for ~5 hours with only that much drop.

Eugene's Macnut R11 used the stock JK2 kernel and had amazing battery life. I just flashed back to it from R12 today. Right now the battery usage app is telling my I have 33 hours left as opposed to the 12-13 I it displayed with R12. There's something about the I9000 kernels that drains the battery while in sleep mode that nobody's been able to figure out yet.

Which rom are you running. Which kernal? I've been getting terrible battery life with v3.1 tw obsidian, by far the worst of all the roms I've tried. I'm barely getting 12-16 hours with light use. I was running fusion and getting excellent battery life.
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?

I'm running CM7 and battery life isn't that great.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
^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...

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???

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....
I flashed myns synergy rom a couple of weeks ago and have been getting decent battery life. Today my battery life is blowing me away. Going on 11 1/2 hours since being unplugged with my normal usage and still have 22% battery left. Not heavy use by any means but moderate at least. I have never seen this kind of battery life on any other rom I have flashed. Any other synergy users seeing good battery life?

There's a great battery guide in the Q/A section, all kinds of tricks. Might find the guide to kernels there too, another way to drastically improve battery life. The new GB kernel sprint released is garbage, try netarcy-toast "brand" kernels
No where near CM7's battery life, but still very much a daily driver. I usually plugged up at around 40% battery after at least 12 hours usage.
Pretty decent for a Sense rom.
I've had my Evo unplugged for the last 2 days and still sitting at 43%. This is with sending about 60 texts, facebooked, got on frostwire for a bit, made like 12 calls, played a couple of rounds of Angry Birds and been on wifi about 95 percent of the time. Never has this happened with other roms. And I have tried a lot. Only thing disabled was 4G(none in my area)
Unplugged Sunday at about 2pm, it's now Tues at noon, I'm still at 49%.
Light to moderate usage since then, about 200 texts, a few short phone calls, and about two hours combined of facebook and twitter. VERY good life for 2 days worth of usage.
I just recently switched over from CM7 to Synergy RC1... I loved when I went away from Sense to AOSP and was reluctant to switch back. But very pleased and battery life I can confirm is excellent for me as well. My only gripe now is that I'm getting the darn unread email count showing up on my home screen icons even though there is no unread emails. I have found online that it is a known issue and mostly seen in 2.3.3? Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks!
I have tried several sense 2.1+3.0 roms, Virus Kingdom revolution, and mik g I have never been more happy than once I began using Synergy. Heck I even devoted a whole post on Google+ about it. Very stable and my battery is ridiculous. I took my phone off the charger at 6:30 am cdt its now 12:15 pm and I'm at 78%. That's with heavy usage. Great job devs.

When I first flashed I was goeeting okay battery life, the past few days has blown me away. I am used to seeing my battery drop like mad...but it does not do that anymore. I did nothing that I have not done on other ROMs, it just seems to work better after being on the phone a couple of weeks. This will be my ROM for quite some time now!
I'm really trying to get to the bottom of this display usage issue. My display usage stays extremely high compared to everything else. The more I use the phone, the higher it goes. Say if I use the phone a lot, it will be around 90%. If I barely touch the phone, it will go down to 50% but it's still a LOT higher than everything else. And it drains the hell out of my battery. If I barely use it I can get maybe 12 hours at most. If I do use it, I'll be lucky to get 7-8 hours.
It starting happening to me on MikFroyo but it didn't use to do it before. And now I'm noticing the same thing with Synergy. This is driving me nuts because it's keeping me from using my two favorite roms as a daily. I'll post three pictures. One is what my battery life/usage used to look like, one on MikFroyo 4.62, and one on Synergy RC1. I would really appreciate any insight to this.
Edit: It's only these two roms (that I've tried at least) that gives me this issue, and I think MikG if I can remember correctly. CM, Salvage-Mod, and a few other older Sense roms do not cause it.
This is with MikG 1.5, with my usual fairly heavy use.
AMAZING battery life, and 100% stable in my experience.
I have tried many, many ROMs and this one beats all.
no idea how people get battery life like that. i'm lucky to make it a 14 hours~ with similar usage

let me start by saying that i used to think the same way your thinking untill one of the guys on the synergy post broke it down for me. it's simple, you keep thinking that the display% is an issue but it's only a number and it doesnt represent your actual battery drain. if you hardly use your phone, lets say u make a couple of calls, check some mail and browse the web. well the percentage is correct, your display was on longer than any other application. so it's going to be higher no question. the real question is are you getting good battery life or not? i'm on synergy RLC1 and after some suggestions that i upgrade my PRL, PRi, and wimax. which i did, now im getting great battery life even though my display percentage is still the highest application.

That is only the case if it's maybe a little higher than the rest of the things. It's a percentage of what has used the battery. When the display is at 90% and everything else is at 3% or less, there is a problem. And no, I am getting HORRIBLE battery life. Like I explained, on ROMs that don't have the extremely high display usage I can get 20-30 hours on one charge. The way the battery drains when I'm using it is extremely noticeable. The picture I posted that has been on for 14 hours with 48% left, that's how my battery usage should look. Granted I hadn't used the phone as much as normal that day, it still would be around the range of everything else.

Have a EVO now with Sprint Lovers ROM on it. kinda cool I suppose. However here is my big thing. I use my phone mostly for email / some texting and a boat load of talking. SOmetimes I will be on a conference bridge for 2+ hours straight. problem is I seriously have to have a charger handy all the time. Cuz I can pull off my phone from the charger after charging all night and loose 1-4% battery life right away. Not sure what thats all about.
I just last night did a battery calibration and installed setcpu (paid version). and this seems to have helped some. but not where I'd really like to see it.
I know with using on a average-high day 500+ minutes during that day. it's not going to last me all day. thats fine. but having to plug it in before lunch time to recharge it, seems a little to much for me.
I am open to any and all suggestions on what/how to fix this. new ROM, software hacks etc... or both.
Software I run:
Flex dialer (paid ver)
built in email client (checks 2 different account every 15-30 minutes, which i know is a battery drain)
text (average light use)
CSIPSimple (sometimes)
web browser ( once in a while)
Thanks for the help!
Try an aosp rom like CM7 or Miui they get better battery life than a sense rom.
Best battery life I've ever gotten was with the Deck rom 1.2.1 and the savage zen BFS SBC kernel version 2.2.1. If you couple that with an extended battery you could go for days without charging.
With a year old stock battery and that setup I had pulled 20-36 hours (I know its a broad range, but 20 hours was the low) depending on usage.

When your battery reaches 100%, your phone stops charging and lets the battery drop down to 90% before it will kick in again.
any AOSP such as CM, Decks, omfgb, miui.us, ect. coupled with tiamat or savagezen SBC kernel you will be free of charging worries & smiling.

Swagged Out Stock, Lithids Freedom kernel universal, either more or aggressive. Pretty good battery.
