Is this decent battery life? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a new OEM battery for my 2.5 year old mt4g. I am rooted and running a custom rom, MyTouch UX 3.0 at the moment, but I usually use the CodeFireX AOSP Jelly Bean rom. Here is a screenshot of my current battery usage:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So around 6-7 hours with wifi turned off and the phone in my pocket at school. Its okay-ish for a 2 year old battery, but should I go on amazon and buy myself an OEM battery for $7? Also, does anybody know a kernel for CodeFire X that gives good battery life? Feedback please...

What's your SOT?
Should post a screen shot of that too considering it's taking 75% of your battery. So I'm thinking about 2 1/2 hours?

Not quite sure what you mean, but I can tell you that since I posted that (13 minutes) I now have 50% battery. I'm on airplane mode, so cell standby is off.

I'd probably get a new battery myself. It's not terribly expensive.

It SEEMS a little low, but I've seen worse. If you're looking for a new battery check out Anker.

battery is dead. i've got a new one!

OK guys, I got the battery from the above post. Just one last problem. Since the battery is extended, my meter says the battery is full when its really only around 90%. This can be fixed by charging while the phone is off. Since I am rooted, I tried to clear the battery stats in cwm, but the problems still there

I'm on ACS ICS Beta 4. I want to say it's my apps but I don't see a glaring issue. Is it the phone signal? I noticed it was the only indicator in yellow. I'm not sure if it's good or bad.
Also, why is the phone awake for an 1 hour and 44 minutes but the screen was on for only 14 minutes?

Is the phone signal being in yellow mean that it's using more battery than the other functions?
Yeah, I've noticed since Sprint has started selling off parts of their 'excess' towers, that the 'time without signal' drain is -much worse- and kinda effects roms (like Bonsai) that have a fix baked in.

Hmmm, I have full signal but it's still in yellow on the battery status screen. I wonder does this have anything to do with it?

@mixtapes08 - hahahaha wow, amazing .. did you turn of data or put it in airplane mode ? i dint do it and i got till here, please give details
Im guessing no time/ very little time browsing because its a heavy battery user and it would show up as a part of your batter drainers.
Yea, im sure I can put on a black background and leave my screen on and pull 6+hrs of "screen time". I'm going to play Devils advocate here and say this number wasn't achieved with typical phone usage, with data on etc.

Considering screen is then followed by no other applications that are actually using it, it's possible. Either way, that's actually pretty impressive.

[Q] Battery drain.

I take the bus everyday for 45min going and coming from work.
I have 4g most of the time and about 7-10min I'm locked onto 2g/edge
Now question is how much would my battery drain from the ups and downs of signal?
And BTW I use Google music sometimes. And ALL the time I'm either here looking thru XDA or using the browser.
GPS And locations are off as well.
Thanks!

That question can't be answered, it all depends on too much.
45 minutes with screen on in a bad signal area and on 4g? 15% or so? Impossible to guess.
Yea it was to hard for me to figure out. Thought I might ask here. Well I just got off the bus and my phones at 65% after 1hr screen on.

You're in a bad signal area, 4g, music. That could be right actually..
Stock kernel? If so try something else. Trinity, Franco.
Try gsm auto prl instead of wcdma preferred.

I just flashed images yesterday hoping for better battery after using efrants guide.
I will try a different kernel each day
I'm coming from a gs3, trinity worked well. Will have to try that tomorrow on my ride home.
Also Just got this phone on Friday.
Still need a lot of testing to do.

That's a condition of WiFi Calling for T-Mobile with WiFi as the "preferred" method of connectivity. No need for concern there.

Maybe WiFi calling is draining your battery life. Its still hard to see where you are at % wise. Where was the battery at with 1.4 hours of screen time?

That seems pretty good.. 2 hours of screen time down on 20%.. that means you would possibly get 10 hours of screen time before it dies...

Is that on all LTE at least? I only get 2.5 hours on my nexus 5 on lte
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
mainly 3g but sometimes LTE.It maybe fixed with an update but for now
I hope that changes in software update, or maybe some optimizations are in order. I get more usage out of my Galaxy S5. =T
I get a full day (24 hours) being 5 hours screen on in my S4 with light to moderate usage with WIFI. When using 3G it's really worse, probably because I have poor signal and it constantly drops.
The OP probably has something installed that is draining too fast. Or maybe the battery isn't yet calibrated. Might still need some charge cycles.
I saw another reviewer on YouTube that was claiming 5-7h screen on time over the past 2 weeks so reports seem quite inconsistent

Invite please
Hey,
I know I am probably gonna get no where but I will try my luck. Can you please send me an invite if you have any left as I would really really really like to purchase this phone. It looks good. Also i noticed your android system is too high which is probably what is causing the battery drain. Usually location service ( so like google now) or most likely something has got it on a constant wakelock i.e. facebook app.
