Hi guys,
Since I don't have much notion about the battery life I would like your opinion please. I think now with 4.0.4 the battery is great.
Today I used a little wifi, a little 3G, around 50 texts, 3 calls (short ones) and played a game for about 5/10m.
Let me know what you think!

With rooted 4.0.4 with cwm I get 36.5 hrs of battery life compared to gb witch was 20-21 hrs.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
If i have a intensive use, the phone only remains for 20h but with gaming, net and bluetooth... With normal usage, can last for almost 2 days. good battery usage
Mine is the same; crappy. Lucky if I can make it through the day without a charge.

My Arc S is rooted, with stock 4.0.4 and the battery lasts for about 36 hours. With GB it could reach ~50 hours.
after ICS Update my battery life dropped barely get thru a full day... Few short calls, about 7 SMS', facebook for 10 mins total and google and battery is dead
I think that better battery was on gb.

Crappy, especially if you use 3G + Browser.
Browser eats too much power.

true! I only can get 3 hours+ on 3G browsing.
If I leave my phone alone without fiddling it with, the drain is minimal. But I tend to message a lot on WhatsApp, use both Dolphin Browser (on wifi) and Opera Mini (on 3G) and then the battery comes crashing down.
I'm a heavy user so never been able to comment on battery life BUT I do feel the overall battery life on ICS is better than it was on GB.
After my arc upgrade to ICS 4.0.4
I think battery life is slightly tougher too..
Wifi always on (80% on)
Juice defender on (disable data via 3G)
Running on 3G (wcdma/gsm)
Screen used 4h
Battery life reach 1 d 1 h
Its awesome for me

ICS should give more battery life than GB theoretically coz many changes were made to optimize battery life..so if you are getting less battery then some bloatware or some app is causing battery drain..screen eats battery like hell..but still my screen brightness is around 80% coz screen is sooo beautiful but still i get around 2.5 days of battery easily
You keep your screen at 80%? I keep it at 30% and it's still bright. I actually find that to be optimal.

before my screen brightness was also 30-40%..but later thought wat will i do by saving battery when i m always nearer to plug point..so recent started keeping 80%
I think 30% brightness is enough for me, and my battery still always reach for one full day use. (from unplug charger 9am - 11pm plugin charge)
Screen always 3h ++
Signal wcdma/gsm
Wifi always on

But not on my usage scenario. 3G and browser.
My usage pattern did not change, reading news, weather, browsing tech sites etc. But ICS browser really eats much power compared to gingerbread. The phone noticeably heats up faster, too.
I already removed the bloatwares, test it with stock kernel first, minimal app installs.

hey there
basically, last night i:
1)wiped battery stats
2)discharged till phone shuts off
3)turned phone on again so it turns off again
4)went to sleep with it charging
5)woke up 9 hours later, on 100%
so if its fully charged, battery ETA is only giving it 7 hours and 44 minutes estimated time, WITHOUT WIFI, GPS OR MOBILE DATA, AND 25% BRIGHTNESS USING 'BRIGHTNESS PROFILES' APP. isnt this like.... rubbish? this is my setup

oh okay thanks, where could i buy a decent battery, adding no bulk but not too expensive?
I'm wondering the same thing... the Desire Z only comes with a 1300mAh battery... My previous phone had a more powerfull battery (2100mAh) and that was an older model WM6 smartphone (which was rubbish on power savings) and it would outlast the desire Z... Even after two years of extensive use, the old phone's battery is better then this phones brand new battery
I've been unable to find any official HTC batteries for the Desire Z which pack more juice...
At the OP. What is your signal strength like? Mine is rubbish at work as I work in a converted barn and that makes a big difference to the battery life.

I am in the process of 'breaking in' a new 1800 MuganPower battery. Fits perfectly with no mods needed.
It should take a few more charges etc to settle down, so things should theoretically improve.
I pulled the plug off charge 6.5 hours ago.
I have it set to use wifi when at home, and 3g for the phone connection (I have a 3G femtocell at home).
When I leave my home area, it switches off 3g and wifi and drops to 2g.
I have made a couple of 2 minute calls, checked my emails and twitter, and was out of the house for say 1.5 hours earlier.
I have had a couple of texts to which i replied.
I am on 95% charge now, and pretty pleased with that.
I've got the same mugen battery, and get through a full day easily no matter what I do. Screen full bright, wifi always on, some internet, games, gps.... etc. Only 7 hours of battery to me sounds terrible.
since my last post, i havent touched the phone at all, and its got 66% charge -__- i seriously need a better battery, may buy the mugen, would you say they are worth it?

What percentage per section(standby, display) is being used?
Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
mobile standby 33%
wifi 28%

display 5%
im surprised its been 10h 15m and im still on 58%
the battery seems okay when not touching the phone, as i have only checked facebook for 2 minutes, and sent around 10 texts (been playing football)
looks like imma turn off wifi when not using it from now!
When I first got my Desire Z when it first came out I was pretty disappointed in the battery life. I tried programs like juice defender and minimized every possible battery sucking option I could find. I could maybe get 12 hours of use out of it so I bought a 1800mAh MuganPower battery which gave me maybe 15 hours instead. Pretty poor I thought but what more could I do?
A couple of months ago I finally did a factory reset after encountering a lot of frustrating little bugs, some of which had been around since the phone was new. Since then not only has my phone worked a lot better and faster, but battery life is MUCH improved. My phone now consistently lasts 24 - 30 hours with the same usage or more than I was using it before. So obviously buggy software can make a huge impact on battery life and it's not something you are going to be able to easily discern as to what program(s) are causing the problem.
Hmmm im not sure then..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Okay, played a bit of speedx 3D, heavy texting and facebook/gochat, still on 31%. Battery seems ok, still going to invest in a better one though, as using the phone for games or internet heavily drains the battery, whereas standby seems to be quite good, but need to turn off wifi. I will see how it fairs tomorrow, and post a picture.

28% for wifi seems really high. I always have wifi on and it only takes up 6%.
I wanted to start a new thread comparing which GB roms have the best battery life....
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...
My battery just went down 2% on a 40 second phone call with my lady. Simply honey. It drains bad. This is my 4th cycle.

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....
So...the title says it......i hope OP will make this thread sticky....
I made this thread to avoid the multiple threads discussing this matter and its solutions.
OK...everybody tell us how is his battery life......
personally mine last 1 day with heavy usage.....2 days with light usage.....
and please everybody tell us wich rom in the use...and how much using it...and all the statistics that you can get...
You are welcome to post any of your problems with batteries and solutions....
I get about the same, 1 full day with quite heavy use in terms of messaging and surfing.. It does drain alot faster playing games or watching videos.

right now my battery is on 32% and from the last charge past 1d 8h 12m with medium use
I had 3-4 days with stock 2.1 with my typical light usage. Now with stock 2.3.3 this increased to 5-6 days.
(few calls per day, no games, no music, 3G almost always disabled)
Compared with latest 2.1 with bb 67 on stock 2.3.3 battery life is worse. 1 day with heavy usage, and 2 days with light usage - 2g connected constantly.

Does the mobile networks play a role when it comes to battery life in terms of network coverage etc... Mine fully charged with average usage lasts less than 24 hours. Well i do a bit of surfing and FB and mail sync in on. Is it due to that ? I did a calibration as well after flashing wolfs rom from stock.
Pls advice !

There's a theory.....and i personally tested it and it works....
if you wanna get a great battery you must charge it at the percent of 20 or 15.....and it lasts a 2 days...
and i charged it at 0%..it keep about 4 hours charging...and it doesnt last a day....
im not very sure.....test it guys and see it if it works and tell me the results.....
dont forget about the THANKS botton.....
these threads are pointless imo...
everyone's usage is different, and you always get people saying "oh my phone lasts 3 weeks on a single change".... Pfft sure it does
There is no point in really comparing, yes you can get great battery life if you don't use your phone but what does that prove?

So what?
I'm giving my opinion on the topic of battery life comparisons in general, it was not any way offensive to you.
I'm simply stating that unless there is a way to objectively measure that the usage was the same, what does "this many hours" actually really mean?
Plus everyone's ideas of "moderate","heavy", etc... are completely different.

Email check every 5 min, twitter check 1h. wifi always on. Phone calls and little other usage.
12 hours before stable normal use. Arround 10 now with 2.3.4.
My battery life got much much worse. No custom roms, everything stock, UK non branded phone. Before upgrade (from 2.3.3.) battery lasted about 12 hrs and still 20% left, after update to 2.3.4. removed from charger at 8 am in the morning and 100% charged, after 10 hrs phone at 7%, same type usage as before, actually even little less.

I agree, battery life is actually worse with the official 2.3.4 update. With 2.3.3 I got around 1d, 12h, now I'm getting less 6-12h than before, with some synching, push email, calls/sms and light browsing. I mostly use stock apps, except the browser (I prefer Opera). I'm not even playing games or anything. Sammy, I'm dissapoint...
At least now the interface is smoother, but overall I'm not happy with the update. Battery life is (or should be) sacred.
No complaints so far getting more juice left after longer period!
+1 for improved battery life. i didn't do any measurements. going from stock 2.3.3 to stock 2.3.4 and battery was noticeably better all day. on 2.3.3 it wasn't great, so i'm happy for any improvement.
Agreed, the idle times are insane. Before I was only able to pull a day with less than 20% battery remaining. Now I'm able to get over a day of battery now and still have 50% battery left-over. Wonder how a movie marathon would fair now, compared to before the update.
I'm on 2.3.5 and my battery is at 70% after a 12+ day. On 2.3.4 it wouldn't last anywhere near that. I was charging twice a day.

Battery life impressive on 2.3.5
I did my first full battery drain and managed to get 1d18h with quite a bit of use. Wifi on all the time. At least 2 hours of talking. I have dimmed my display but thats it.
Definitely better for me on 2.3.4 - no question about it.
Rather than compare my findings with other peoples the only fair thing to do is compare with the level of my 2.3.3 drain previous to updating. My usage is pretty like for like during the week so this makes for a fair comparison.
On 2.3.3. I could get a couple of days use out of it (a few hours of music, heavy twitter, frequent push gmail updates, camera use, calendar use, alarms etc) and be down to about 20% or so and that made it worth a recharge overnight. That was still ok for me and fair enough.
From a full charge yesterday morning and now into the afternoon on day 2 I still have 70% left. Even if I use some during what's left of the day I'm going to way better off under 2.3.4 - could probably run three days or more at this rate?
I guess it all depends how you use you phone and what parts you use most as to whether any update is better or worse. For me this is way better and I say well done to the update!

Have received a few sms and emails, browsed the web with Dolphin HD and XDA forums via their app... looks good to me, on the previous 2.3.3 Stock ROM, It would be near dead by now...
On 2.3.3 (stock, NL), my battery was absolutely fine. I got between 2 and 6 days with light usage.
After upgrading to 2.3.4 it got worse. Hardly get 2 days now.
What's even worse is, that now my Android OS process takes 60%, which wasn't the case before. It seems as if 2.3.4 introduced the OS bug, instead of getting rid of it!
The only thing I changes more or less at the same time when I made the update (well, two days earlier actually), was to enable "Use wireless networks" under Location and security. But according to several forums this should not use significantly more battery.
Any ideas what is going on here?
I just got this phone, instantly updated to jellybean, still did a factory reset to help with little issues that happen sometimes on android updates ... and the battery life is terrible. Nothing at all like everyone is bragging about. I even made a lot of smart actions to try to help (i.e. put in airplane mode when I'm not using it, 4g off when wifi on, background data only when using phone, etc.).
I'm getting around 2h and 45 min of screen on time. And it still loses around 12-15% overnight with airplane mode on. No apps downloaded or settings synced from account.
Are there other things I could check?
Facebook freezing and FC constantly too.

I'd disable smart actions and also Google now. People report that helps a little

I also found it took about 3 weeks for the battery to settle down and really give good long life on each charge. Now I'm super impressed with battery life of this gem of a phone...
Hmm ... I'm debating on sending it back. How was your battery life in the beginning?
No one experiencing huge facebook issues? Some other apps seem to take awhile to load.
Thanks.
I have the official jelly bean and I'm a rooted. So far today has been the best battery life that I've had even since flashing from ICS last week.

Amazing freaking battery life. Definitely. Probably top five of all time considering the power of the phone

I disabled location reporting in Google Latitude and find the battery life good.

Seeing you had 2-3 hrs on screen time, its no wonder the battery is dying on you. At first I found the battery life ok, would get through the day, but as I used it more the battery seemed to settle and now get 2 days a charge...BUT as with everything concerning battery this is relative.
I don't sync pretty much anything. I don't sync gmail, facebook, etc...which i know do take up substantial battery life. One thing I've found with this phone from using CPU Spy (app), is that when it goes into deep sleep, it really uses no battery power...I mean NONE! The other day at work it was just sitting on my desk doing nothing for 3 hours and went from 90% at 9am to 90% at 12 noon.
Battery is great on this phone...

I've had this phone for about a month now and my battery life is incredible. Better than I ever expected. I'm getting 2 full work days out of a single charge. I can suggest an app that I'm convinced works very well for Motorola's as this is the second one I've had. 2x battery saver seems to work better than juice defender. Cutting off background data when the phone is idle will help out a lot and that app does that very well. Smartactions should also be kept to a minimum. My phone uses virtually no battery when it is idle. If you play around on the internet a lot then its gonna drain your battery. For mostly talking and texting, its great.
Same problem but it does get resloved
When I got my razr m it had the same battery problem, but with time it will start holding more of a charge. It takes roughly month, and now i'm getting two days easily with it.
Yep. The battery here is unbelievable. I used ~1gb data, about an hour of calls and a few games for bout 30 min or so. Oh and some music. About 1.5 hours to charge and 2 days battery. Best battery life I have seen since the Nokia 1700 with net ten. Really. Its that good.
And I mean straight out the box. I bought it on Thursday last week and charged it maybe 3 times.
Charged it on Tue at 830 or so till bout 10 central standard time. I got 35% right now. I'm TRYING to kill it before I go to bed. I'm not very optimistic. Outstanding battery. Shoot, unheard of. 4.1.1
Oh and PS. I ain't rooted it yet either.

To speed the settling in process.
Use the phone unit it dies. And then Charge it fully with no interruptions. Dont unplug and replug.
I had 4 of these going through my place now.
My girls, Mines and 2 from friends.
My girl's was settled in well when we received it already.
Mines took 1 week to settle in. My 2 friends took 1 weeks with that Calibration process and the other took 4 weeks of normal usage.
The phones battery is a monster !!!
2 hours worth of phone calls Screen is on time 3 hours, 16h wifi, I am at 40% and been off the charger for 17 hours.
The battery on this thing is great! One thing Motorola does better than any other manufacturer. I'm getting all weekend off a charge as my phone pretty much runs off wireless

Anyone compared battery life of RAZR M vs RAZR i battery life?
I've seen on gsm arena that battery life of RAZR i is incredible, but there is no battery test for RAZR M.

The i is more efficient when using it acctionally by 5%
Heavy usage the M is by 3% better, at conserving battery but the i is faster on heavy usage on large application
I have to get the screen shots we got few weeks ago.
Also the i tends to suck more power on some apps due to the emulation. But is not slower in anyway.
They are marginally almost the same.
Its just where u need the Processing power to be.
Heavy need of processing power the i is very competitive on single 3D apps
Need 100% compatibility with the apps store use the M with its ARM CPU
1.5 ARM Dual core or 2.0 Hyper Thread Single Core
I'm getting AMAZING battery life on my RAZR M. I get through the entire work day (lots of voice calls, wifi usage, bluetooth, maybe 1.5 hrs of screen time total) and still have about 35% remaining before I go to bed (about 15 hrs of usage). I even try to kill the battery by watching videos at home, putting the screen brightness on 100%, still havent managed to kill the battery.
So far very impressed with this phone, especially compared with my old Galaxy SII on TMobile

I think you got a borked phone, ive had this phone for 3 days now, noticed the amazing battery life the first day, phone came with a 50% charge, didnt charge it all day, finished day 1 with 30% after heavy use, day 2 heavy use navigation, texting, games, ect, finished day again at 30%, now day three same heavy use as day 2, days almost over and im at 50%, think i got a good one well deserving of the trident case i bought for it.

I've got rule in SmartActions.
If screen off - then turn off mobile data.
