Fantastic

show me your screen on time pls. i can do that with stock battery too with low use. 37% doesnt look like you touched your phone much..

that's pretty bad. I can go as long as 3 days with stock battery

That is indeed easily done with a stock battery and stock Samsung or CM7 rom and with moderate use.

Would help if you actually used your phone, anyone can get double that on standby on a normal battery

Besides, shouldn't this topic been placed in the Accessories sub-forums?

blimey and i thought that was good. Onoly get aboout 24hrs with the stock battery....ok i'll crawl back into my hole....

You don't have to do that but people here are much more interested in how much life you get with heavy (screen on) usage, me included. How much was it, if you dont mind me asking?

im not a heavey user, but with medium useage, 15+ downloads, surfing the net on and off through out the day, emails through out the day, f/b updating and numerous texting and a few calls.....i suppose for my normal use on stock battery i got just over 24hrs use so the extra 300Mah is more than welcome. Plus i can slip the original stock battery in my pocket when i go out just incase i need extra umph. Oh well im happy with it...please move to accessories if i have posted in wrong forum..infact MODS if you want to delete this thread then please be my guest....

OK... realistically though, screen on time is the real indicator, along with usage patterns (were you web browsing, gaming? what games? how bright was the screen etc). Screen on time can be found out by Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display = Time on (just in case you weren't aware).
How much did the battery cost?
Oh... and what theme are you using (I'm liking those icons at the top).

besides the screen on time you should also consider the data volume transfered via radio, that kills my battery even faster than the screen although i'm living in a big city with solid coverage...

There is already a big thread on the OEM 2000mah battery.

CM7 with 10% battery steps tweak

This is just a simple tweak for users who prefer 10% battery steps instead of the 1% cm7 default. The file is located in /system, build. Prop. Change the 1 percent to 10 percent and save file. Original will be automatically saved as a backup.

I don't understand it, either. I'd personally much prefer an accurate (as much as possible) reading on my remaining battery capacity. Hey... maybe it's his latest "this will work now, really, I mean it this time" fix for battery problems: "if I can't fix the problem, I'll hide it instead, because a problem doesn't exist if you can't see it."

Lol, because 1% drain can look like a foreboding countdown and make people stress.
10% would be the 'see no evil' approach

Stock rom displays battery in 10% steps. <Mod_Edit> Thank you for your input, but if your're not reporting on experience or asking a useful question, please don't post, and move along. </Mod_Edit>

Tytungs NexusHD ICS Power Consumption Issues

On a full charge with no wifi, no sync, lowest brightness, no gps etc I'm getting roughly 1 to 2 hours of talk time and maybe a total of 4 to 5 hours battery life with the screen off. I pretty much have to travel everywhere with a charger and its starting to drive me nuts.
Is it worth it to switch to another distro ? Anyone else having this issue ?

Are you on the latest version? I'm using version 2.3 and it lasts more than 24 hours on a single charge.
I guess you have to replace your battery, mate

wow ... 24 hours :-.
Can you post your statistics ?

These numbers are off btw due to the constant charging every few hours.

What kind of drain are you getting in terms of mA? Download current widget and check this. It should be 4 or 5 mA in standby.

Do u use any app2sd script? in 2.0 some people got an extremly high battery drain, because of app2sd (~50-70mA on Standby). Maybe try to reflash u're rom without any app2sd and check the drain again.

Sorry for the late reply, guys. I've been busy lately. Well, here is a screenshot of my HD2 after a day of moderate use running TyTung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.3

Hmm looks fine, i think you need to get a new battery?

[Q] AOSP Battery life?

I've been on CM for a while now, and had a week back on TW, where i noticed the battery life to be four times better, so i'm wondering if theres a way to archive just half as good battery performance on an AOSP rom? that would really be wonderful.

Yeah the profile feature really is a lifesaver. My Note can last the last 10% on standby overnight, and when I wake up I can continue charging.

6.0 users post your Android OS usage

Hi Guys,
Do I have an issue with my android os? Seems to be keeping my phone awake and downloading a lot over WiFi. I have no idea why, but I think it's killing my battery life. I am lucky to get 4 hours SOT.
Post yours for comparison

Yes true, the screen shots are from the same day and why would the battery percentage matter? the battery graph is to show how android os might be keeping my phone awake even when the screen is off.
it would instead be helpful if you could tell me what your Android OS usage is? Or how you get such good battery life?
I did a clean install using flashtool (wiped everything) with the RU firmware.

Do you have Google backup on?

Yes I did have it on. I have turned it off along with uninstalling Facebook and turning off google now. so I will see how my phone performs today..

I have the same issues. Yesterday my screen on time was 2.5 hours and the Android OS consumed most of my battery (more than screen) keeping my phone awake for more than 7 hours. I barley made it through the day

I performed a full software repair via PC companion and cleared the cache partition too. I am presuming it might be that because i am essentially "starting again" the phone has to re-adjust to my usage patterns.
But it should not affect the battery life by that much! I am so mad about this update.

my android os is 25% active
it seems like the radio mobile active bug is gone in MM, but we have now a "android os active bug"
