Just wondering how many screen time hours are you guys noticing on your ICS tablets? I'm getting about 8 hrs. Seems it lasted a bit longer on honeycomb and had way better standby time. Maybe I'm just going crazy, could be a possibility also I guess.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Hi there, I am very lucky to get seven hrs, that's reading emails and browsing - was much longer with Honeycomb
With ICS I almost hit 9hrs one time. On the average I get 8+ hours. With HC the average was 7 hours. I may be wrong but I experience noticeably larger battery life. Still the issues with ICS like user agent string of stock browser, app crashes and overall system stability bug me.
just fixed the battery drain issue and now averaging 8 hrs 45 min with very minor drain on sleep mode/standby

Also try the Battery Saver app, it reduced the screen power drain from over 50% to about 30%, a 20% savings!

I don't see a thread like this for the T-mobile HD2 so I figured we can have our own.
It would be nice if you included the following with your posts:
screenshots including on screen time, information about your rom, kernel, etc. and estimated talk, text, browsing, and gaming time, and what brightness you had your screen on (auto, full, etc.). If you use something like SetCpu with profiles list your profiles and settings here too.

I get about a day on mine running Nexushd2-ics-cm9-hwa-v2.9a. I use setcpu to fine tune and use between 4 and 5ma on standby according to currentwidget. It is disappointing to see such a small battery in a power hungry phone. I do have the larger HTC battery but it makes the phone too big and bulky for me.

Thanks for the screenshots, how much battery life do you get by one recharge.???
Screenshots don't say much, I think, as the use of the phone is always different.
After charging I can game about 4-5 hours straight on full brightness for my battery to be empty.
With a lot of standby and only screen on to Whatsapp/Kik/Text and brightness on 'automatic', it can last for 1-2days.
Only listening music all day it can last about a day.
Standby only it can last almost a week.
ROM: Xylon 4.2.2
Battery Capacity: 1230mAh (stock battery)
Charging using an external charger because the USB port is broken.

Check wakelocks. If music is not taking up an hour or so of wakelock, you can still make it better.
So about 12 hours would be considered average/good?

That... means nothing. 12 hours of screen on time is mind-blowing. 8 hours is some extremely optimized usage. 6-7 hours is about what most people should get. 4-5 hours means you have battery life issues. 4 and less means you have severe battery issues.
5 hours and less of screen on time before 1% means you need to diagnose wakelocks and rogue apps.
Ahh, Ok, I was thinking 5 was high.... Thanks for cleaning that up. I'm on the fence about getting this... Doing my homework now... Any complaints?

Have you rooted your phone and do some special optimizations?
Why my screen only on with 20 mins, and consumes about 4.5% power?

Do you mean HTC One? I think my One can last only 5 hours if the screen is on.

Better Battery Stats. Figure out what is holding partial wakelock. Disable anything involving location settings for Google Search and Google Maps/Latitude. If you have MSM_HSIC_HOST wakelock, you have to root and run a wireshark for a long idle period to determine what is killing battery life.

Not really. I will note that MSM_HSIC_HOST wakelocks are seriously the most annoying things ever to figure out. I'm going nuts trying to reduce it, and fixing the issue requires root because you have to install a root application that can sniff network traffic to determine what's causing modem wakelocks.

Yes, the MSM_HSIC_HOST wakelock exists for about 2 hours, and my battery only use 5 hours since last unplugged.
Is it serious problem? I have not unlock and root my phone, is there any other approach to detect that without root?

I was always under the impression that the only time GPS was using the battery was when you could actively see the GPS logo in your notification bar so unless you were always running apps that would use it you didn't need to turn it off?
Usually get 2 days out of mine with a bit to spare..... i'm not too heavy a user in the week though.
Easily get 24 to 36 hours if i'm using it a lot at week.
Really pleased with it.
from 7am to 6pm my battery is left at about 14%. doesnt seem that great. pretty light usage.
only been cycled twice though, so will wait and see.

Hi guys,
Are you experiencing a poor battery life (both Screen on & Stand-by) after the last update?
Yes same here, about 10% battery loss in standby just within an hour of installing the update.
No such issue in update ,you need to calibrate your battery, sometime it is necessary to do it after update(not for everyone)
Download &install battery calibration app

No issues here, battery life is same as before.
No problems here. Battery life is stunning.
Maybe you should wait and give it a change to settle?
confirm that the battery life is equal to or better than October? should I upgrade to November?
Don't see anything different, battery seems the same to me.

Hi,
I have recently got a new HTC U Ultra from Dubai and found quick battery drain issue in it and I have to charge it twice a day. It only gives max 2 hours screen on time and even battery get drained when the phone is in standby mode. Can anyone help here, please?
Thanks in advance!
Show us battery history and battery usage per app then we could help.
Definitely not normal behavior. See battery history for potential problematic application causing the drain. If nothing can be seen you can try reset of the phone.
Join the club mate, same here brand new ultra here from Dubai.. I don't think it's good to check drain now.. is just the first week. That said try the wake lock detector app
Sent from my HTC U Ultra using Tapatalk
I have reset the device and till now it seems little better as after 44 mins of screen on time I still have 81% battery left. Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
Keep in mind that in the first 5 to 10 days android does many things in background till it sets up everything. I personally start looking at battery life after the first week of usage.

I checked my device and have considerably low standby drain. Didn't measure yet, but when there is enough signal and when in WiFi, the battery holds up properly. I think 3.2 is still a little low, At least of 4 hours I expect.

Hi sorry i didn't take it but i am getting around 6h 45mins+ and i only used to get 5h 45mins before on the same usage pattern.
Also before i was using dark mode all the time and now i am using scheduled dark mode. So i believe i can squeeze in 15-20 mins more if i use dark mode only. This is great. I think they updated the pixel 4 first as users reported improvement in battery life in Jan or Feb.
My battery is at 90% health, so that is really gre8 seeing it boosted by an hour.

nothing change for me.
losing 3-4 % night (8 hour)
I think battery has worsened, but the animations are much much smoother. Especially the home gesture animation
When I say worsened, it went from 6h to 5.5h. Still a beast.
I always lose 7% over 7-9 hours, the wifi draining problems persist
Im getting anywhere between 6 to 8 hours sot. Depending what usage I've put the device through. But I do think dark mode really helps a lot on this device.
