Battery Question

Hey ive been looking around but cant seem to find some info I need. I keep seeing people posting about how much battery their builds are using. Just curious is it a app that shows that info or is it android itself?
Just want to be able to see which build gives me the best battery life. Thanks for the help.

It is a widget from the android market called currentWidget
install it .. then add it to ur home screen, it w'll shows u a live battery usage measured by mA
About the battery life and other cool stuff...I highly recommend HD2ONE 0.3.6 [SD] .. It is the most stable BUILD, I've been using it for more than 3 weeks under a daily-use basis with out any problem

Also Battery Monitor Widget is another program.
Not as simple as Current Widget but it has graphs and a few extra bits.
3mA or less while in standby is good consumption.

Screen shots? From Gsam or something other than stock battery usage section.
Otherwise the thread will be full of guesses.
And I'm sorry...but need to disagree with above poster....battery Guru will cost more battery life than its supposed to save. Unless you're a VERY light user.

Battery guru has worked wonders for me on atrix hd and I've had it since I got my X so I can't say whether it helps I guess

Try searching Disable Services on google play and turn off that one who is giving you that problem. I don't use locations,wallet, cast and etc had to disable those. You'll see a greater battery saving as i have.

The app will turn off mobile data, started a few minutes after screen off. and then try to enable data, in incremental delays. At night (started 0am), data won't be enabled again until 6am.
If you turn on screen, data will be enabled again

Battery Life

Hey friends!
Im not sure if im posting this into right thread, so if not, please move it to proper place.
Well, as topic name says, im looking for a way how to prolong my battery life. Im gone from home for most of a day, and im running out of battery at times i need my phone to be awake. Im currently using (my signature) and im looking for any advices for apps, tweaks, roms, mods and kernels made for battery life. Im not prone for some kind of smoothness (which ROM im using really is ), ill let that to more powerful smartphones; i need it for work. And i dont care which Android version or kernel version ill be using.
Thank you for any advices.
PS: Geolocation is constantly off, same as mobile data. Brightness is on "Auto".

"Disable services" "greenify" and manage apps with privacy guard / app ops or various apps that control startups.. Drop your CPU frequency to 800mhz and keep screen brightness down..

Google Play Services is a battery killer... the latest version is a complete disaster.

You said it mate. I just had to wipe my Nexus S that was running CM11 weekly because about 2 weeks ago I had massive battery drain. At first I thought my original battery from 2011 had packed in so I got a new one out of the draw but battery drain was massive again. I looked a Google Play Services and it was draining 75% of my battery while the phone was in standby. I tried narrowing it down to a certain app but gave up - I just couldn’t stop the battery drain. So I put the latest CM11 weekly on and so far its back to normal. But I have no idea why a stable phone since January suddenly had a problem with Google Play Services. It must have been an update or an app. Who knows.
I just hope it doesn't start again.
