Im currently using shaminix 2.2 lite rom. I get amazing battery life. with normal use over a standard 16 hour day my battery life is at no less than 70% before I charge it at night.
I also use the 1.38 radio that may make the most difference. Good luck the Herm is a battery hungry beast.
Is that with Push mail ON?
Yep I have it set to download 4 accounts every two hours. With all notifications turned off though.
My Good Freind, install the attached file, but will have a small effect on the stability, Thanks to It's Right
if you want to read more, go to TNT.SE Rom, and read about it....
I have an EVO that is completetly stock latest SW-3.29.651.5 and kernel-2.6.32.15 and the battery life stock is looking real good. I have not done any battery saving techniques such as turn off wifi and background syncs. This is an average daily use for me...could easily get 2 full days with some battery saving. Personally I am considering just staying stock on this EVO. Side by Side comparisons with my other rooted one has going either way a good deal...
I agree. With this latest update and kernel, my battery life is about 1 day now, or 12 hours with a lot of usage, which is what a lot of evo users have been getting from the start.
I'm also running fresh 3.3 and the newest htc kernel, and have stopped using all task kills, startup killers, cpu adjusters, ect.
I seem to be getting about 4-8 hours of use out of the phone. I am not really concerned with standby time.
So during the week, I will easily get 20 hours of out it before it complains, weekends maybe longer as I am not using it as much.
That's really impressive! I have the same kernel and build number, but my battery life doesn't seem as good.
Just curious, are you on wifi most of the time? And do you keep GPS on and always-on mobile data?
How's the battery life when using talk time? I'm looking at picking an evo up but there are days I use a solid 2 hours a day talking.

My wifi stays on as does gps ect. The only thing I do when I do a fresh reset is first off turn off vibrate and any hepatic feedback. That is just a personal thing for me and is the only battery saving thing I do. I did however do a full battery charge thing...you know where you have it plugged in power on and full charge. Then unplug and turn off...re-plug and full charge/green light. This may or may not be why the battery life is so good but I am liking it for sure.
Out of curiosity, do roms have an effect on battery life? Seriously, I can't make it past 8-10 hours on any of the roms that I've tried. (apex and liberty) This problem is pretty annoying...

I don't think so.
Is this a new phone? I ask, because I think we all play with our new phones quite heavily. I too have days where I barely hit 8 hours because of all the usage. Then I have also had sessions of 18 hours because of little use.
Have you tried undervolting? It might buy you a little more juice. Then perhaps look into an extended life battery.
Otherwise, how often your apps sync can affect battery life. Some apps can be configured to sync only when wifi is on. Live wallpapers can be a drain, as can some widgets or having alot of widgets running.
You should give JuiceDefender a try:

I have yet to try it, but I've had friends recommended it.
Obviously, be sure to read reviews on it.
SGS Vibrant flashed with Trigger 3.2 the battery lasts for 1 day with wifi usage and even if kept for overnight it drains about 18-20% of battery should i move to a different ROM ?
You could

Trigger has had one of the best all time battery life for me a everytime.
I think you need to
A) recalibrate
B) re-check to see if any apps are using battery life.
C) flash a rom if none of that works.
Here we go again for the millionth time.....
But for me trigger had the best battery life.
I'm not on the gingerbread roms and it takes me from 100% to 5% in 8 hours overnight even WITH Juicedefender (seems to be about the same without it also).
If anyone has tips on THAT, I would much appreciate it. I've tried calibrating the battery.
There is a setting that you can turn your radios of from x time to x time overnight. I have mine set for 11-6. If I am on after 11, then I take priority. If not then the setting does.
There is also a setting that will open data/radio every 15m/30m/45m/1h/2h or something like that to get updates for somethings (i.e. Beautiful Widgets). I have mine set at 2h. If I want my data/radio open I will do it myself, hence my long interval.
Been using this app for well over a year so I know how to tweak it a bunch. If you have JD+ see my battery guide and it will tell you more about its tweakiness.
Trust me. This guy knows how to use JD, check out his battery guide. It will be worth your time.

i wish i could get my phone to last a whole day without charging, i just dont complain because i know for a FACT that the reason my phone only lasts 10-12 hours is because of ME. im too stubborn and refuse to switch to battery-friendly usage. the biggest thing that impacts battery is the user/user apps. not rom, not kernel, the battery difference from rom-to-rom and kernl-to-kernel is barely noticeable (unless in the rare case where there is a bug, or developmental defect). if there was ACTUALLY a rom in exsistence that TRULY had superior battery life, then you wouldnt get 5-10 different answers in every single "what is best rom/kernel for battery" thread.
the problem is, people want to believe that they can save battery without changing their usage habits. this simply is not possible. no rom or kernel will realistically do this for you. if you remove 1 brick from a bag full of 15 bricks, the bag will be lighter, but still very heavy. you need to download "spare parts" or "process monitor" from the market and start analyzing the way your apps are acting. also look into data syncs that are happening in the background. apps that stay open behind your back/what they are doing, (an app called "autostarts" can prevent apps from self-running under certain scenarios). animation speed. polling for notifications. gps. wifi scans. overclocking. cpu/ram usage. proper sleep. widgets. brightness. 2g/3g. data usage. call time. text volume. - THESE are the things that really affect your battery life.
bottom line is, if you truly want to save battery you are going to have to get your hands dirty...there simply isnt a one-click (or one-flash) solution.
Hmm so i'm now on MIUI and it seems to be giving better battery life, also have been thinking of getting the extended battery for Vibrant is it worth ?
If it sucks so bad, grab one of these. I have it and it has given me at least a 20% increase in battery life. BTW, you must listen to the instruction for the Battery if you get it. 4 or 5 full Drains to 0% and then charge to 100% while device is powered off and re-calibrate after each of these full charge cycles.

But the gps doesn't work on it correct?
What about the extended battery which is around 3500Mah
I just got the 1800 mah batteries for the Epic 4g. They fit in the vibrant like a glove and my battery life has been significantly lengthened.

Hey all just making this thread see if any of you lovely people have any great tips on battery life. I'm running on the stock rom right now and I feel like my battery should be much better than what I'm getting. I have juice defender pro and I still feel like my battery should be much better than it is. Any tips? PS. I am constantly on my phone but I don't play any games just simply browsing the net with the occasional lost in YouTube moments. Lol. Thanks in advance.

I've heard (on other phones) that juice defender is bad on battery. Battery life issues could be from so many things...
Yea I just feel like I used to get better battery life on stock rom. Just uninstalled juice defender will have to see it makes a difference tomorrow.

I'm lovely enough to tell you it might be wakelocks, did you check for any wakelocks ?
There is nothing better than Greenify... just greenify the apps ONCE and never look back...
I think LG G2 have impressive battery life w/o any scripts and mods. You can install Snapdragon BatteryGuru, it can save some juice.
I have found a few apps to manage auto-startup apps which really seems to help my battery life. Of coarse the screen is always the #1 battery eater so always turn it off after using your phone (don't wait for auto screen off) I catch my wife doing this... she uses her phone, puts it inside the protector and straight into her purse, the screen stays on for another 60 seconds after every use.
