If you go to settings and then tap on device maintenance, and on the bottom of that screen click on battery and on that screen you will see how long both options extend the battery life by how long

I got 4 days and 13 hours with mine, using GingerDX aswell.
There's no secret for that, just chage the configurations for max battery saving and disable background apps or services you don't need.
Calibrate battery, maybe some build.prop edits and that's it

4 days? maybe you seldom use your phone.
just several sms,phone
Yes, maybe wifi and network data not work
i used a bit of 3g while out and about FB and news, used wifi when i was at home again just bits and bobs, sent quite a few texts as well as some calls. was just average use nothing major.
the only thing i did was download Battery Calibrator charged to 100% ran the app to clear the battery stats and got a nice 4 days out of it
7days 1hour with 11% left.
Now i do use phone for a few calls/sms only, but hey, it's even better than my old non-android one!

as you can see the phone was not used and everything is switched off with little awake time.
my first 20% of battery drain so fast but starting from 80% and down drains slower....
idk whats the cause of that....
i think 7 days is impossible
Can someone that doesn't have problem with battery drain upload battery status file (data/system/batterystats.bin)?

Well,
First of all, this (note that smartass is preinstalled on GingerDX, at least on v013 it was; screen brightness for me is set at minimum level, 13% which is more than fine indoors and outside if cloudy);
V6 supercharger from here (yet i do have some troubles with it, as described here);
Autostarts to remove many processes from the autostart list, but play carefully around with them! I won't provide the entire list of enabled/disabled apps (reason: too lazy, it's 4 am in the morning);
Advanced Task Killer to kill all the unnecessary ones (incl messaging and some more, don't forget to kill the task killer along).
Android Assistant launcher widget to free some memory (i do keep it in memory, it doesn't seem to cause any trouble by staying there);
Signal quality also plays a role in how fast your battery goes, better quality = longer standby; so play around with places in your home to find best spot, it can take a few days though;
Also i use my phone mostly for a few short calls (10-30 mins total per day) and an sms or two, this also helps, since i'm most of the time at home near my computer (i work at home lol);
Charging from ~10% from computer (slower charging) seems to help a bit too, not entirely sure;
Static wallpaper! Live ones are a power hog.
And generally - the less you toy with your phone, the longer will the battery last

Nexus S Battery Life

Hi, guys.
The below images were taken from my I9023 having Oxygen 2.3.2 (at the moment). Standard, no kernel change, no cpu setting change, just plain Oxygen.
Light use: 30 mins on the phone / day, checking emails, news, updating weather, at least 1 hour on wifi per day.
For me battery life it's important so i was wondering if anyone can come up with something better regarding battery life. Maybe another ROM ....
I know it's highly relative to personal use, but would like to hear some opinion on this.
Thanks.
Have a nice weekend all.

The usage is as described in first post. Told you, ROM is Oxygen with everything that Oxygen comes with.
Unless you switch to a flip phone you're never going to get better battery than that.
I have managed to get to 6 days, but pretty much I just use the phone for calls, text, email and occasional browsing and music. No gaming at all

I have used CM7, CM7 mv, and Oxygen(the most stable), all of them with the same battery life.
Kernel I use Lucid 2.1y, BLN, no setcpu, stock 100-1000Mhz
I must say that I use my data "on demand" it is always off unless I want to check emails, look for directions, surf something, etc. I have a toggle in the status bar for data (autosync is ON always).
I use most of the time 2G unless I need to surf the web.
I use auto brightness also.
Using my HTC HD2 in the same way I can't pass the 2.5 days mark. so the truth is that NS has a pretty good battery life.
which one is better for battery life time?
i9023 or i9020? thanks!!

Very good battery life here, but I am careful with managing the screen back light and adjusting it to deal with the ambient light conditions (not brighter than I need it to be).

Are you aware that you may have phone with cheap, chinese display, for example?
How's that
Key word: refurbished. Unless you are 100% sure it's from manufacturer.
So how do I tell?
The phone is great, battery life is not that good though(stock lollipop). Also the device kida heats.
Try Aicp Rom current getting 6-9 hours SOT over day and a half usage.
Marshmallow so up to date as well

This is my battery usage from two different instances, battery life has been very good to me on Nougat, however a week ago or so I had to factory reset my phone because "media server" drained my battery very quickly. These screenshots are made after that factory reset.

No unfortunately not. But after a factory reset it never came back in such a huge way, before the factory reset it suddenly appeared on top in the usage list with 45% usage, dropping my phone's battery from 90% to 40% in less than 1 hour.
My settings aren't really special, I only use sync when my phone is charging (regular charging, I don't ever use fast charging), I don't use AOD, Location or NFC, and I have disabled pretty much everything that can be disabled through the phone itself, without using a package disabler. Also, my screen resolution is on 720P.
I love the batterylife on my s7 edge with 7.0 btu. It's way better then mm

Battery recommendations? Does it need to be the battery for my exact model?

I noticed on eBay batteries for the Note 4 list compatible models for each battery. Are batteries for all Note 4 variants interchangeable? Or do I need to get one for my specific model? My phone is the SM-N910V model.
I'm in Canada and not looking for one of those big batteries. Just the stock/oem battery.
Personally, i would go for ravpower brand battery. on amazon too and there is for your model

Damn. I forgot about the Ravpower batteries. I had to run out and stop the garbage truck so I could snatch my phone out of the trash. I thought it was a goner. Just ordered a Ravpower from Amazon and saved my phone in time. :good:

Lol I wouldn't be able to trash a phone, it will come back and haunt me. I know you have an LG now but how was the battery and what customisations did you do to improve battery life?
I got a ravpower battery few days ago but need some help with tweaking kernel settings etc to improve battery life as it is not that good.
Tried these optimisers like FDE and LKT but no luck, haven't tested LKT properly though as an update for FDE came out that should've fixed the CPU/GPU turbo boost thing.
Also, I don't care about gaming like PUBG (although I like it :laugh: )
Thanks for your previous advice/help and now of course.
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
You know what I think it's doing 10x better without optimiser thing. 10% lost by browsing on xda for 40min. Might be speaking too early.
Definitely still interested in changing some things around to improve it so please hit me with the facts/guides/tutorials/walkthroughs??!

Of course that wasn't a true story. Hah. I would never toss my "baby".
I haven't played with it much since but I ended up getting the Ravpower for it. It was cheap and arrived promptly. I used Kernel Audiutor for it and it's set to whatever the default is.
I can say I have gotten at least 90 more mins of SOT and more than a week of standby. Maybe even more. I'll power it up sometime soon and check Battery Bot.
Screenshot of my standby time. My OST is only ten mins at this point tho since this is no longer my daily driver.

Wow I actually believed it, was gonna ask if you tossed it at the bottom of a pretty much empty bin or... but it's getting emptied so must be full unless you did it earlier haha. Because I was wondering about the damage that may have occurred if this actually happened (from throwing it in the bin and then truck). How the hell would you find your phone just laying on top of all the trash in the garbage truck?!?! Now it makes sense that that's not true. I am really dumb:cyclops:
OK now I got that out of my head are you saying that kernel auditor automatically configures some things without you adjusting anything in the app? Because I didn't know that. Also what you mean by Battery Bot?
I don't think it does that unless you picked a standard configured profile that kernel auditor gives you based on device or something (not someone else's log configuration file or whatever you call it)
But like I said I don't know my kernel stuff... take your time I'm in no rush after all all of this is free and out of kindness which is something I really appreciate from XDA (or even the internet in general (duh))

I can confidently say I will get between 4-5hr SOT compared to trash SOT before (min 2hr max 4hr suprisingly, probably less intensive use)
On average 4.5 hours at least

I joke around often. Battery Bot is a great battery tool. I put the widget for it on my home screen and check it now and again to see how much approximate SOT I have left, how long it's been on standby, etc.
