This is the ffirst time I have itterally gone a whole day on one charge; got up and switched to the N1 at 910 and at around....830 I put it back on the charger at around 15 percent.
I checked email, surges the web and texted throughout the day; I could maybe go half a day on my Captivate.
I seriously thought aabout ordering some spare batteries off of eBay but I'm really rethinking that now.

My setup is the rooted, deoxed version of stock 2.3.3. Amazingly fast (just as fast and smoother than the Atrix) and obviously has great battery life.
I'm using Zeam launcher with a few Widgets, light flow and my led light (top of phone) stays lit all if the time.
Checking the stats, I used 83 megs of data that came from web browsing, twitter, downloading applications, and email and stuff.

you should be able to as long as the 1 year warranty is not up. Did he happen to mention when he purchased it?
I don't have much problem with battery life, if I am at the place with good signal receptions.
Here is my, Battery use graph, which is built into the Gingerbread.
BTW, I did re-charging during the duration.
Settings -> About Phone -> Battery use -> Tap the title bar.
My setup.
Stock GRI40
Kernel : 2.6.35.7 from android.git.kernel.org (compiled with my own taste of configurations)
Governor : Conservative
CPU speed : 128Mz - 998 MHz.
Based on my battery stats, I have an estimated battery life of nearly 48 hours if I leavr the phone alone.
With CM7 RC2 and wifi sleep policy set to never.

With sleep policy to never on CM7 RC2, does that affect battery life when wifi is turned off? Read some posts its just some bug?

set wifi sleep to never increases your battery life dramatically. if you let wifi sleep, then it switches back to 3g which destroys battery much faster than wifi. so leave wifi sleep on NEVER.
just called htc and told them i was having battery issues. they asked for my imei# told me i still had 3 months of warranty left then asked where i would like my new battery sent great customer service!
Well my Max charge is 97 what could that be I am running cm7 any help is my battery damaged?

This belongs in question and answers section.
You might be able to fix this by reconditioning your battery,otherwise your battery is just getting old
It could not be getting old I just got it last month
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Thats how it is.
cm7 and miui have same problems, and its to save you from over charging, and thats some phones start heating up too much.
Don't worry about it, its for your own phones life.
Ok that's good to know and my phone charge extremely slow and sometime not at all but then I reboot and my battery life goes way up wat is that about
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Thats because your phone is mis-reading your battery's charges.
a Re-condition would help phone re-read it more accurately, but idk how you'd do that since to re condition you have to charge till' 100% lol.
Will they change rom to make it 100 cuz I don't want to go back to 2.2 rom cm7 is to good

the CM7 your using is not OFFICIAL, so the problems your facing is up to the developer to solve, not the CM team because as far as i know, they haven't even supported CM7 for us fully yet.
it's just how cm7 is reading the battery. on one revision i would get a max of 95% then 97% on another. just recondition the battery after its been plugged in for while after hitting the 97%. worst case is you have to recondition your batter again after you flash another rom or it gets fixed.
Do you know what cm7 version they've used as a base for the vibrant version? The Nexus S does this by default, to protect the battery as others have mentioned.

YOU need to re-condition, YOU can fix it.
the people on MIUI or CM7 can't.
As stated its a known thing.
I used my Samsung Focus to charge a battery to 100 percent put it in my phone and it discharged to 95% then back up 97%. So the phone isnt charging the phone up all the way as it is. This is also good for the life of the battery and the battery will last longer. Also it gives and accurate reading. Sometimes with phones if it says 100 percent it is discharging thus you actually only have <95%.
I fixed the problem I just switched to best rom(trigger) then reconditioned and it charges perfect thanks for the help

This is by design and should occur on all Roms. Below is a link to a good Phandroid article tiled "Your Smartphone's Battery Gauge is Lying to You and its not Such a Bad Thing". It really does an excellent job with a fair amount of data explaining why your battery will only charge to 95 - 97%.
It boils down to three options:
The phone manufacturers essentially have three choices:
1. Use older charging styles which actually maintain a full battery, thereby decreasing its eventual life
2. Use new charging methods and have an accurate battery gauge
3. Use new charging methods and have the inaccurate battery gauge

RECONDITION.
I told you before everytime you flash a different rom, the battery is going to be different, so reconditioning is going to help you make it more accurate reading. brah.

You may need to do it a few times.
But since you are on a 2.2.1 rom... no need to worry, when it tells you its at 97% it's actually at 100, soon when you don't notice going from 1% to 2% will take more than regular time, it'll make up for the 3% somewhere along the lines
Ok ill let u know the results of this second try and do I have to recharge when phone off

My advice, get Tasker to disable mobile data and WiFi when screen is off. Disable Google Now. Disable NFC. Disable GPS until you actually use it. Enjoy your 5+ hour screen on battery life.

Why the hell does the Nexus consume soooo much battery ? I have turned most of the stuff off but you dont get any Google Now, emails etc dont work correctly, - totally useless.
My S2 is better than this.

And? Most people don't seem to get this: Say your battery depletes 1% for every 3 minutes you have the screen on, that's 300 minutes, or 5 hours, of screen time. Which is more than acceptable.

Yeah def better than the gnex which was rather good too. I took my phone off of charge @ 7:20am and put it on charge when it had 4% left @ 1:30am. So pretty much lasted 18 hours with medium use.

You probably have a battery drain. Try this: charge your battery till 100% before you go to sleep, leave it in standby over night and see how much power you loose. My 9005 goes from 100% to 96% in 9 hours of standby, which is pretty good. If yours loses much more, you probably have an app keeping your phone awake. A first check would be the location tracking settings in Google maps. Switch location report and location history off. They are famous battery drainers.

Wifi. I was pleasantly surprised myself I didn't try heavy screen usage yet, but with normal use including telephone calls, navigation, note taking etc. I get through the day easily without extra charging. A normal day for me lasts from 7:00 till midnight, with 30% battery left at the end of the day.

Sorry, probably I was not helpful. Just saying I am running an SG3 on CM and that is exactly what my battery usage looks like, I hope you get it fixed an d I hope it is not indicative of the SGN3 that I'm getting my hands on tomorrow. Cheers.
Not to rub it in, just to show you that a good battery life ís in fact possible: on 4G/LTE the battery power went from 100% to 98% in 2,5 hrs.

Hello!
I have an AT&T Note 3 running on root and I've noticed that my Lightflow & Swapps app keeps automatically force closing at random times in the day.... this never happened before until I decided to root my phone, and even then, in the beginning everything was running smoothly. Any idea of what could be causing this? I am using the NOVA launcher but I wouldn't see why that would cause an issue... and on Kitkat 4.4, I'd appreciate anyone's input!
Get rid of lightflow! It just sucks up your battery!

Me personally, I recommend none because they all drain battery. How much usage do you get out of your battery before you have to charge it? I get around 1d 8hrs with moderate usage.

From what I do, it actually does last me a while but I do have to charge it when I am at work. From 9 to about 3:30p.m I have to charge it because it's at 10% due to me watching Netflixs all through my work shift, including lunch, while also texting back and forth whenever I need to. My shift ends at 5:30, so by then it's at 100% because I started charging it around 3:30p.m. On a day like the weekend, I hardly use my phone at all since I have my PC so my batter life lasts a really long time without me having to charge it by the end of the day and even then I have about 60%. On a day where I am up and about, my batter lasts me till about 40% all day until I have to charge it. I hope that makes any sense. I don't pay much attention to my battery life since all I use my phone for is netflixs while I am at work and SOMETIMES some gaming, but not all the time. I also hardly call or text anyone.
