i personally have gotten up to 18+hours idk about an iphone 4

My DZ beats all my friends' iPhones (original, 3G, 3GS, 4).. when they whine about their units dying, I laugh at them because I usually am sitting near 70% with the same use. Then again, we're fortunate enough to have user replaceable batteries, i have the 1800mAh mugen

Well I have an iphone 4 atm and I'm not too happy with the battery life. Wud like a keyboard as I email a lot on the phone. Where did u get this custom battery?

I get anything from 12-16 hours of battery life from my DesireZ depending on usage. That is with Virtuous Rom overclocked to 1.2mhz.

Olmost 30 hours .cm7

I usually get about 15 hours of use with moderate usage. Continuous usage gets me about 4 hours of use, comparable to my dads iPhone 4.

Wow
and thats with the 1800 mAh Mugen Power battery?
so would you think that is a good deal?
Thanks~

Currently at 3 days (72hours) up time and 50% battery level.
Admittedly I haven't really been using the phone, but it's been syncing gmail, Facebook, twitter etc and picking up the occasional text message.
Cm7 btw, standard battery.

Phone was fully charged last night at 11.15, unplugged since then... at 36% now at 7.50... :-(
Its a brand new battery, old one was even worse, maximum of 5 hours of very light to moderate usage and need to plug in again...
Using CM7, somehow I feel there is something wrong with this phone itself... will see what happens when t-mo gets the phone back for repair...

Well the iPhone 4 does not allow you to change features that alter the battery life too much like the HTC Desire Z. The iPhone 4 uses a stronger battery that allows the iPhone to reach a maximum of about 36 hours. HTC Desire Z's battery life all depends on use but this phone could last about the same with moderate use. Hope I helped

well mine last around 14 hours with minimum use using the OEM battery....
wondering if changing to the 1800mAh battery would help
but it really seems like that battery life just sucks

I don't know if the battery life really sucks or not... When I don't just touch the phone, it lasts atleast 2 days and more... but as soon as I start using it, well... battery just want juice all the time...
Changing to 1800mAH will certainly help as it is bigger and as some of those who have experienced, it certainly lasts somewhere around 40-50 hours.
As a note, I have even tried the Battery calibrator app, can't really say if it helped.

I have the mugen 1800mAh battery and i have to say its a nifty little product. It easily handles my usage (constant texting and voice calls with max brightness and gps always on) without breaking a sweat. By the time i charge it at the end of the night, its usually at about 40% and unplugged for about 16hrs.
The stock battery would shut down by mid afternoon with the same usage.
I am aware of other battery solutions, such as the Incredible battery mod and such, but i found the mugen solution to give the most convenient results. Plus you get a warranty you cant really get from some ebay sellers.

8-40 hours, depends on how I use it.

I'm getting around 8-14 hours depending, when I'm on wifi it'll go for two days usually. When I'm outside and connected to 3g/HSPA+ around 12

I got a 3500 mAh battery and I'm running my G2 on a Amazing Larry's OC UV kernel which is based off of Pershoots. Been running 1.6Ghz for a little over four hours and I'm at 88%. Been using it for twitter/facebook/texting/music. I definitely don't mind the extended battery cover since I can run double the clock speed without killing the battery.

Anyone else getting ridiculously GOOD battery life

1 day 1 hour+ and it still was showing 100% battery life and discharging, with about 45 minutes of on screen time.
I thought the battery gauge/meter was frozen at 100% and was about to reboot it, but it finally dropped to 99%.
Granted it was idle a lot and I usually turn off wifi overnight, but still pretty impressive IMO.

Nope lol what was the 45 minutes of usage?

Most likely a bug, expect your device to die on you unannounced any moment...

Yeah the battery's good, but not that good.

I was using mine for 5 hours straight and it went from 100% down to 30%. Top marks!

This is the last screenshot I have of it at 100%. Half an hour later, it hit 99%.

seriously... i too thought it was misreporting the battery life and it was just going to die.

i took mine to my inlaws and used it for a chunk of the weekend and never charged it. I got home sunday evening and i still had 40%. But i am not running stock either... so that may be a difference.
Right now, I have been on battery for 1d 4h 4m 48s on battery and have 74% battery left

75% right now, I am at 1d 23h 14m 56s on battery with screen use at 1h 40m 24s, rooted but stock ROM.
at this rate, it would go 8 days with about 7 hours of screen time.
it never used to be this good. something is not right, lol.

Well tablets do tend to have good battery no cellular radio (wifi only) so no texting or calls, my ipad last a week without charged over 10 hours screen time. Now my nexus 7 I'd taking the hit because is new, I'm not getting rid of the ipad it has a low good games for my son and movies as well, 16gb is no enough sometimes, so I just keep important apps for my n7 and ipad as a backup, I'm only taking n7 to work now I got wifi there and thetering so that helps

Actual capacity of your battery

Hello people
I had the feeling that my Note's battery is not as strong as it should / used to be... so I started investigating how could I possibly test this.
Back in the day when I had the HTC Desire, there was an app that was specifically tailored for the Nexus One, that also worked on the Desire, which showed the actual mAh capacity left in your battery. So, you simply charged your battery to 100%, then fired up the app. It did work!
That apps is no longer available. Or any other app like it. What I did find, instead, was Nova Battery Tester.
So, I charged up my phone until it showed 100%. Then, I fired up Nova Battery Tester and waited for it to do its job. 50 minutes and some -45% less battery later, the results showed that my battery holds only ~1800 mAh of its claimed capacity.
Now... I would like to ask you, the community here, to do the test. Charge your phone fully, then fire up the app. The app requires that all networks are disabled, but you can just enable airplane mode, start test, then disable airplane mode and let the test finish.
So... if there's anyone willing to do this test, please share your results. Reason why I'm asking this : I want to see whether the app actually shows accurate results or not. I am sure my battery is a bit off, but still...

Sure ill try it, I feel my battery's almost dead, I rarely get a day anymore and I have no drain issues.
I'll report the results later once I've done a full charge, good thread too, should be some interesting results to follow
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Hmm interesting, It's a pity that I don't have the time atm. I will share my results tomorrow.

I guess the phone should be left alone for this test. I will do this test for my three batteries. One battery is never enough for me for one day's use.

downloading and posting my results tommorow. my battery gets hardly a day with medium usage. Down at least 30 percen tfrom the day i bought it... we shall then!!

its not accurate this app at all, we tested it with other batteries in the accessory section. A search should point you there m8.

All I'm after is results, so I can see whether the app shows accurate values or not. If everyone's getting a result from 1700 to 1900, for example, the app can't possibly be accurate... since not everyone's batteries can be as dead or as good as mine.

I also have the feeling that the phone does not last as long as it used to. Besides, when I see reviewers and other people say that this phone lasts for so long... I feel bad, lol.

Okay. Looking forward to your results
I know the phone should be left alone (hence the requirement of networks off), but I was expecting a call and I was okay with stopping the test to answer it.
Will do a test with all networks off, some time later. Perhaps after today's exam.

Battery 2708 mA? Seems a bit too much if its normal capacity is 2500

Just tester from 100% to 65%
Battery capacity: 1854 mAh
Battery rating: 2937 pts
CPU Rating: 7561 pts
My Note is about 1 year old.

OK, So im doing the test now, I chose the standard benchmark, Its been running for 35mins and has 30mins left.
Battery capacity is showing 2810mAh and its increasing, Not sure how this is possible if the battery is only 2500mAh when new, however, my battery has drained 30% in 30mins in airplane mode, with screen on max brightness.
Ill update the figures when the test in complete, but i highly doubt its accuracy.
Had my Note around 8 months now.

Mine is 11 months old. The on screen does drain the battery but since i am a moderate user, mine get across the day easily.
As of now, i would say, Note's battery backup is same as my Galaxy S (which i had earlier)

How's your battery life?

Read a review it's terrible. I'm working on running mine to empty.

I have juice defender and easily get over a 24 hours with moderate use. Getting close to 36 hours on my first full charge now.

Here mine from the maxx, Def could of gotten several more hours with the 16% left. This is about 3hrs of streaming Google music, watching a 10-15 3-5 min YouTube vid, and decent amount of web surfing, so I'd say moderate use over 2 days

How long your battery stay at 100%

Hi all!
I just bought my g2 for a week, after flashed slimkat, I found that the battery stay at 100% for quite long time. In my case, at least 3.5h, include 12 minutes screen on, 3 minute phone call.

Yeah. Its been estimated that the 100% to 99% is actually about 5 percent. I think I had something like 30 minutes of screen time before I went to 99 percent. the standby time can be quite hilarious. I wish I still had screenshots, but I had one of my phone sitting for about 9 hours 100 percent the whole time . As soon as it drops to 99 percent my estimated time was like 980 hours lol

Yeah, this.. Staying at "100%" is completely artificial. As soon as you hit 99.4% it should show 99%, but I imagine that leads people to think the battery is depleting fast, so they've done something to make it show 100% longer.
What's interesting to me is that it's the same on custom ROMs as well, so it's not something the ROM itself is doing.

I think it's the battery technology that does that. Android seems to be written for different battery tech.
Also I don't like the flexible metering. Play for hours, set it aside a few minutes and battery percentage increases.
I hate it in cars also, I want a meter to show how much I got exactly lol.

Today it has been on 100% for 1h 10 mins with 30 mins of screen on time. It is the first time i "overcharge" it btw.

"Overcharge"? ?

On CM11 mine will usually adjust down to 99% fairly quickly. If I wake up and start browsing after taking it off the charger, the circle will get a notch out of it usually within about 5-10 minutes.

Lol.

Basically leaving it charging despite having reached 100% so it trickle charges for an extra hour. It seems to have improved the battery life.
