So i flashed the stock leak to 2 of my coworkers phones a few days ago and their battery life went up BIG TIME..now i flashed it to mine + installed EE.
last night when i got home from the bar and passed out i left go chat running all night and when i woke up my battery was at 75% - with go chat running for 8 hours. normally my phone would be dead. Im really, really impressed with the improvements in the DK28..
Anyone else seeing similar results?
Why not post in the EE thread?!
What's EE when I was on dk28 my 3g radio was trying to upload constantly and killed my battery in record time. So I'm not running it anymore only because of that. If this EE thing can bring my battery life back to normal I'll gladly give dk28 another try.

I'm surprised theres no sticker for a guideline on what to post on Development, though I guess common sense is supposed to be a factor.

What exactly are you developing? Is this a rom or did you really make a general post in the development area?
He was just spamming the development area with garbage

I have noticed the exact opposite w/ DK28... I was running DK05 before and had great battery life, now w/ DK28 its back to just a hair better than it was Stock.
Although this is in the wrong section I also noticed much better battery life with DK28.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I have had much better battery life as well. No where near the advertised specs but significantly better than DI18.
can a mod plz move this so i can stop spamming this forum?
LOL. I'm definitely not seeing these results.
My battery life lasts me pretty much most of the day off the charger with some heavy use here and there and I'm still on DK17 ViperROM 2.6 with auto brightness on and a few widgets/notifications every 3-4 hours.
Does your gps work going that way? And if its much better battery life ill have to try doing it. As for those saying it is spamming, it may be but instead of trying to act like you have power actually contribute to the thread.
There are so many threads like this. Can we get a mod up in here?

What's EE?
I love when people have nothing to do but complain about other people posting in the wrong section..... its very upsetting ain't it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Wow, complain about it more so it keeps getting bumped...... I actually like seeing things like this because it just may more easily help someone in choosing a suitable rom. In a hour it'll be on the next couple of pages and you would have forgotten about this thread DISASTER anyways...

Epic Experience.....a rom.
With DK28 and EE I have had 26 hours of battery life, the first time I have had over 15 hours ever with my Epic. I am honestly comfortable walking a round without worrying about where I can plug my charger in at.
Threads like these (including their responses) are why post count doesn't matter.
Please post questions in General section.
Anyone notice a considerable battery life hit using Nova launcher?
I'm just failing to see how anyone can quote 9hrs life web browsing, more realistically its 5 or 6 tops usage.
Is that down to using Nova launcher or is that just how it is with the Nex 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I think it uses about 3% looking at my stats
I was getting 9hours battery life, however after recently installing CM10 Kang rom is now get between 12 and 13 hours.
nova wouldn't be a noticeable hit on battery, I can get over 2 days on battery with 6hrs screen on time, I use nova on phone and tablet.

I'm using nova launcher and I don't have battery issues. I gene really get 2-3 days out of a charge
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have 5 hours of screen on, enough left for probably another 2 hours, and Nova Launcher isn't even listed as it has used so little. Far more has been used by games. It wasn't listed even after an hour or so of setting up my screens and widgets, which required a lot of testing and fiddling around in Nova.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Just unlucky I guess. I'll never see six hours screen time with any launcher. Doh
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Im using nova and typically get about 6 hours of web browing(judged by screen on time). Nova never shows up on my battery usage list so it's not much of a hit for me. I am just unimpressed with the battery life . Google couldn't just come out and say 6 hours, so they lied and said 10 while web browsing? I have yet to see anyone besides cnet say they got 10 hours of on time with one charge. I would like to see some more people get stirred up about this. Apple managed to put out a device that can do 10 hours of true web browsing. So it can be done.
I'm using a cm10 kang build as well. Maybe I will go back to stock for a few days just to see....
Nova doesn't even show up on my battery use. I use my Nexus 7 for reading ebooks, probably about 80% of the time, on battery. I figure that I can go around 12 hours before I need to start looking for a plug in.

Is your nexus stock unrooted?
Are you using widgets, live widgets, live wallpaper, or any kind of battery saving or task managers/automated app killers? Is your GPS enabled? Have you tried turning off sync services that you don't need, disabling GPS and location services when you aren't using them, or turning off screen transitions and animations?

True, I see about the same with mine, but Wifi is off, and Google claims 10 hours of browsing. I would even settle for 8 hours at this point. Still need to just try stock i guess. Bored today so I Will try it out.

Most likely your battery drain is not caused by Nova Launcher.
Did you look into any of these suggestions?

I had some pretty bad battery drain too, until a few days ago I figured out that it was caused by Google's location service being on, preventing the CPU from going into deep-sleep mode.
Try this, Arthur Hucksake:
1. Go into the settings => Location services => turn all three options (Google's location service, GPS sattelites, Location & Google search) off
2. Go into the settings => Wi-Fi => Menu (the three dots) => Advanced => Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep => Only when plugged in
3. Go into the settings of each widget (or its corresponding app) and change the update interval to the bare minimum or to manual, so that the widget/app doesn't continuously update itself.
=> The above settings help to make sure that the CPU can switch into deep-sleep mode when the screen is off and the tablet in standby mode. Otherwise continuous updates/checks of an app would prevent the deep-sleep mode and hence cause battery drain.
=> Useful apps to find out which apps are causing battery drain and whether the CPU can switch into deep-sleep mode are:
- CPU Spy
- Better Battery Stats

Gave my rooted Stock Nexus a try, not much better, I barely got 7.5 hours of browsing, a little bit of flash player and maybe 30 minutes of HW decoded HD video. Pretty crappy if you ask me. I mean I drained this down to 1% from 100%. Used some of the apps suggested here and nothing really jumps out as a culprit, just looks like bad power management or bad battery to me.

Speaking of Nova. On my 2 day old HTC One, which ibwant to keep and not return for the S4, it lists Nova as number 1. Taking up 40% of battery usage (not sure of your terminology)
Anyone have any clue for me. I liked Apex and someone said they got better results. For me, Apex has been lagging and for some reason it won't take a Jorte widget.
what's worse when plugged in, every phone in the past has charged while being used plugged in. This doesn't move AT ALL and even goes down a point or 2 every so often.
Thanks in advance for any help

You have a few things going on. First, you revived and hijacked a zombie. Second, you're in the wrong device-specific forum. Third, when you post your issue in the correct device-specific forum, you may want to give folks some more info to go on such as what you're using to charge your phone and if it's indicating that it's charging on AC or USB.

Not really feeling good about "wger I am". If you don't have anything to help, say nothing. Would have been better to leave a note in here for the mod to move this.
Enjoy your day

You were given constructive advice on how to succeed in your query. You were helped by being pointed in the right direction and informed that you will need to provide more info once you get there. You're set for success, but whether or not you choose to follow it through is entirely up to you.
It is a fact that a very small subset of users in this sub-forum have any first-hand experience with the HTC One and that your odds of getting the answer you seek is exponentially higher in that device's sub-forum. Likewise, it also holds true that, in order to receive an accurate answer to your issue, you'll need to provide more info. Think of it as being akin to walking into a doctor's office and proclaiming "I'm sick" without providing any other information. In order to treat you, he/she also needs to know relevant info, such as what symptoms you're experiencing. The same holds true here- in order to accurately address your issue, they're going to need to know relevant info such as what power source you're plugged into and whether your phone indicates it is charging on AC or USB.
And it actually wouldn't have been better to have a mod move it. It's far less cumbersome for all involved if you would simply copy and paste your question as a new thread in the HTC One forum than it would be for someone to report your post, a mod to respond to that report, prune it out of this thread, and then create an entirely new thread in the appropriate forum.

Seriously thank u this time. I was told gold plated were better so I.got 2 from Amazon. Then I was told it didn't matter. So in any case maybe I should try the 3' one that came with the phone.

Definitely give the original a try. Not all usb cables are created equally. To enable charging at a current higher than 500mA (the usb standard), the power management integrated circuit of the device checks for a short between the d+ and the d- pins. Some oems short the contacts at the charger whereas others short them inside the cable.

I've just downloaded and flashed the latest CM10 ROM. I must say it's fantastic. A big thank you to the developers. I thought I'd report a few bugs that I found/ stuff that I felt was lacking.
Major problem: this thing doesn't report the battery charge properly. The phone didn't look like it was going to die, but it suddenly did. When I connected it to charge, it said 5%. I let it charge until 10% before switching it back on. When I switched it on, it said battery had 36% charge.
It still has a problem connecting to WiFi once in a while. I'm not sure why.
I don't have the option of locking individual apps. This was a feature in CM7 I loved. I could prevent my friends from reading my e-mail, but let them play games on my phone. Although there exist apps that allow one to lock individual apps, I thought it'd be nice to have this built in.
EDIT: Oops! This is in the wrong subforum. Sorry. Could the mods move this? Thank you.

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
I searched but couldn't find anything specifically related.
Any people go from s3 with OEM extended battery (3000mah) to s4? How have you found battery life in comparison?
I can upgrade to s4 at anytime. My only concern is battery life. The 3000mah in the s3 is perfect for me (perfect meaning it has power to spare at the end of a day). The original 2100mah battery is too small.
Tia.
Little OT but my OEM S3 battery actually fits in the S4 and is functional, so you should just have a spare battery.

There was a major charging issue for me. I was using a just a regular charger from another phone and it took forever, using the one that came with it solved the issue. I have seen a few people mention the same problem here and there with other phones and just thought I would put this info up.
