77% in 49 min and screen on for 49 min. Is this bad battery life? What would make it better? Thanks guys. I'm on cm10.1 with Franco. Clocked at 1026 min and 1512 max.
sounds average. Doesn't sound bad. Bad would be 49 mins screen on and you're at 50%. Screen brightness all the way down? Or is this cranked to the max?

All the way down. Good to hear that's it's not too bad though
Wait, could you tell us your governor? Franco kernel uses interactive as a default which in that case, you don't need to put the minimum to that high
49 minutes unplugged and 49 minutes screen on on 77% isn't that good at all. You should get at least 1 hour-1.5 if you were using it constantly.

That's not so good IMO, I attached some pictures of what I'm getting, I'm also on CM10.1 and Franco.
You should flash Franco's and let it be, don't put the lower value that high.
Autobrightness on, Sync on, wifi always on, but not always connected (I always forget turn it off )
Could you please check how many mA Battery Monitor Widget reports?
Mine only shows 1500mAh, even when the battery is fully charged.
Would be interesting to know if this is a faulty battery or just displayed wrong.
Maybe that's why some get pretty good battery life, and on some it's really ****ty.

Really depends on what you're doing in that 49 minutes. If you're playing games, have poor data connection, uploading to dropbox etc you can see the battery deplete really quickly. I never get great battery life because I use my phone a lot with the screen brightness all the way up.

Also use latest Franco. He fixed a lot of things on the latest test version and it is smooth enough to use it in daily basis.
Also could you tell us what you were doing in that 49 minutes? Games take so much battery out thanks to beefy 1.5 GHz quad core processor. Thanks

Well when its plugged in it will be warmer than normal. Right now my phone has been on with constant texting and random other usage all day long and I am at 80.6 degrees
My phone stays in the mid 90s and early 100s with regular use. It only gets in the 80s if I leave it completely alone for an hour or so.

I stay mostly in the 80s and can get into the 90s with heavy use. Don't think I've ever passed 100, but there's a chance something like psx4droid could have pushed me up. I average about 86F.

Do you use the SetCPU profiles? You could set one to underclock the processor while charging.

Are you guys using SetCPU for profiles and overclocking, or are you just using it for checking temps and current speed?
These are the droids you are looking for.

I was using it to check temps for this but I use 2 profiles, which may help my temps (def helps my batt). The default profile is 1000 max, 300 min, on demand. The other is when my screen is shut off, 300 max, 300 min. I've found this has saved me a pretty sizeable chunk of battery. I tend to listed to music 7-8 hours a day and while it doesnt need full CPU it will use it if it gets the chance. Restricting the proc to 300 off has never caused any issues and I can get from 8am - 4 or 5pm staying over 70% battery I have the unstable apps overclock and used it for a while, but kinda came to the conclusion that I can't really justify needing to overclock yet as I never see any lag. I guess if I run into any lag at some point I'll prob clock back up to 1.3 or so.

I did overclock, but it ran way too hot, like 107F during normal use and didnt get below 100 dormant. 1gig is high enough to me. I have it set to underclock when charging or when below 50% battery or when above 104F.

Only other idea I have is downloading Droid Overclock and try running at low or ultra low voltage. Make sure to make a backup first. And try low before ultra low. Individual devices can be picky about a lower voltage and can go into a bootloop if it can't run on a lower voltage. Droid Overclock has profiles like SetCPU.

2 hours of screen time there, that seems about normal to me. I'm lucky if I squeeze out 3 hours of screen time throughout the day.

It depends entirely on what you are doing. 2 hours of screen time (even in ideal conditions) will most likely get through half of your battery.
What screen brightness settings do you use?
What were you doing with the "screen on"? (i.e. gaming, video etc).
What kernel do you use? Try the Faux 1.0 Ghz kernel (if not already) and consider undervolting.
I imagine with the combo of Faux's stock kernel, undervolting and perhaps reducing screen brightness will see 5ish hours of screen time.
It was on around 85% brightness due to being under direct sunlight.
My kernel is faux's 1.45 for CM
Over 80% of the time the clock was around 200, 400MHZ as stated by SetCPU, and both those clocks are undervolted by 50.
I was browsing the whole time.

Wow no wonder. Roaming for 2 hours with brightness nearly on full will definitely drain your battery.v Plus the 1.45 Ghz kernel overclocks the RAM and GPU also. You might want to get an anti glare screen-protector and flash the 1.3 Ghz kernel and use wifi.

Umm... wifi wasn't an option back there, and I don't use screen protectors. BUT I didn't know that bit of fact from faux's kernel, I'll put in the 1.3

I don't believe setcpu functions correctly for dual core devices, I remember reading, albeit a while ago, setcpu only effects 1 core, leaving the second untamed.

Watchdog shows the suspend process and android media process taking up about 30% usage constantly. Signal is strong when I'm at work, constant 4-5 bars H+
Even after a full wipe and clean install of CM7 those same processes throw up alerts immediately, I will get al alert for the suspend process every few mins.
Background data off, no email syncing or anything. I'm lucky to get 3 hours screen on time or pandora streaming. I bought a new Motorola battery about a month ago and I don't use GPS or wifi.
Running stock, aura or homebase and the drain is gone... they aren't any good IMO tho.
For now I'm carrying a spare charger everywhere I go till the nexus prime is released.

There is some app that drains your battery. I can easily get 5:30 on screen time with omega. I've seen others doing better. This phone has an excellent battery life, if you know how to avoid apps with bad code that drain your battery. Download better battery stats and monitor your usage. You will find the problem.

There are larger batteries out there with twice the original's charge. They are twice the size though and make the phone really fat.

There are a lot of factors that can affect the longevity of the phone's daily battery life. Apps that are constantly running in the background will drain your juice. Lowering down the brightness will lower the power consumption greatly. Disabling location services should help. If you're in an area with bad service, your phone will use more power to stay connected to the nearest tower. Tweak you kernel settings or try a different kernel can help.
for a fairly default installation with i would say 10 hours with 2 hours of screen time is normal.
But there are some good advices in this thread to optimize it a little more
