So who gets 16 or more hours of battery life with hard core usage?
What Rom and Kernel are you using?
Hard Core I mean having 4g on all the time. Surfing Know and then. Playing Games. Having sync on all the time and more.
Me! I am running stock with bullet 2.7b kernel. It wasn't like this in the beginning. Took a while (about a week) of keeping this rom and kernel combination before I can now get 20 hours with pretty heavy use. And even this is at school where I barely have signal. Last time I had this battery was on ip4

Oh and btw. I only get 20 hours with launcher pro. For some reason touchwiz is a battery hog. Shame cuz I love touchwiz....

Whoever gets 20hrs+ isint using their phone with heavy usage. Mines usually last 12-14 hours with abut 5 hours on screen time on 4G. ****...I can leave my phone at home and not touch it and I can get like 30 hours. The point is 20 hours is BS if your on your phone like I usually am. I happy cause I got a extra battery or bring my charger to work. I'm on Juggernaut with stock kernel which I know definitely eats less battery than the custom kernels. The custom kernels do a great job when in deep sleep but when you are using it, it drains faster than the stock kernel.
Oh Cause Im looking for a combo that gives me 16 hours or at least an entire day with heavy usage...
Cm7 rom and kernel. overclocked with smartassv2. 19 hours. 6hours 48minutes screen on. playing games all day and texting and quite a few phone calls.

batt drain is realy fast with all custom roms. all roms are bad. not enough developers.. because they sell it only in usa..so after 10 days with my t989 today i hve sold it. im happy now waiting reduce price of nexus for buy..

Can anybody beat this lol...
"Hard Usage" is very relative. Screen on time is a much better metric assuming that you are actively doing something with the screen on and have a short screen timeout or manually turn off the screen.
Having said that I get 3-4 hrs of screen on time with Bullet 2.9 and Jug3.69 "hard usage" with 25% brightness.
Just 3-4 hours. Wow. That is bad.

I thought it was pretty good actually. That is 3-4 with the "screen on" utilizing 4G network. Total battery life is in the 15-20 hr range.
By comparison my Mytouch 4G could only barely do 3hrs and my Amaze 4G could hardly do 2-2.5 hrs. You can't really compare battery life between multiple people as their usage pattern is different. What really matters is battery life for yourself across different phones.

I agree, they guy who said he play games ALL DAY and get 19 hours on CM7 is total BS. When I play games like Jelly Defense or Eternity Warriors, the battery goes down pretty quick and it definitely won't last ALL DAY as the other guy claims.

That's probably what I'd get out of my NS if I used it fairly heavily... the display is a battery killer on that too. So about average, then.
Don't know what happened to the quality though,looked OK when I took them!
Hoping when this mobile data problem gets sorted battery life may increase as my phone was all over the place today!

Those are completely different. They start with a full battery and just play videos or browse the web for that amount of time. With this he was using for the phone for random things and still had the screen on for 3 hours.
On that note, how is it possible to have the screen on for 3 hours of a 12-hour day? You literally spent 1/4 of your day looking at the screen? Do you not have a job? My phone sits in a dock on my desk, but I probably use it around 15 minutes per day while at work, and then another 45 min or so after work (so total screen time, if it wasn't sitting in the dock, would be around 1 hour for an 18 hour day).

Those run down tests are from 100 to 0 doing 1 thing. This is throughout the day. The phone is still draining when the screen is off.
yea i understand.....but basically the screen time is how long the screen has been on throughout the day correct?
I had a galaxy S and it used to get like 4-5 hrs of screen time throughout a 12hr day. With the extended battery i could get about 6-7hrs of screen time.
Now on the iPhone 4, i get 2hrs of screen time with 80% battery left and had a standby of 6hrs. But yea....its iOS
Idk, 3hrs of screen time seems ehh to me. Im still probably gonna get the phone though, tired of iOS once again. Went from 3GS to Galaxy S to iPhone 4 and now possibly Galaxy Nexus....or wait for GS III
Wifi radio power on all day?
Several people who've had the phone for a few days have said the battery life gets better after a few charging cycles.
Calibrate the device, leave it off then charge it till it's full. Then use it till it is dead, then charge it again while switched off and keep doing that for the first week when you buy a device any device that uses a battery. I've always done this to my phone and my wife's sometimes friends too. After that the battery is calibrated, then if something goes wrong with the drain you would know, or if the battery life actually sucked Case 'n point EVO 4G.
yea, 3 hours used 56% of the 85% of the battery that was used. so really should be able to get 5 to 6 hours of just screen on time.
I uninstalled my virus protection yesterday and turned off sync and wifi whilst at work today about 11am and battery stats better today. Haven't been in a low signal area today so no problems or slowdowns caused by 2g/3g.
Taken off charge about 9.30am
Wondering if its the virus protection taken off or disabling sync and Wi-Fi or the fact I was in 3g area all day that's improved it.

Signal strength is usually the main problem I have...
Is there a native ability in ICS to disable WiFi scanning? ie - Leave WiFi on, but disable scanning for networks...
OP, I'll bet your batt life would be 3x better with something like Tasker managing your Wi-Fi connection.

On screen time of only 7 minutes, but 4 hours unplugged ? That basically means you haven't used the phone much at all. When I am unplugged for 4 hours, I easily have 1 hour on screen time. Lets see your battery life then ?
Agreed. Only 7 minutes on screen is nothing.

yeah, i'm getting on average 18 hours of battery life on just stock revolution 2.1.2.
best so far was 17 hours and i was only at 68%. and that was with about 30 minutes of phone calls and maybe an hour of screen on time.
uhh you had the screen on for 7 minutes.
Use it for a few days then come back with a normal 1 day of use.
Its not CM9 its Franco's kernel... I'm running his new 7.1 with Bugless Beast and its amazing battery life

LOL why do people post "amazing battery life" threads and it clearly shows no use. I been seeing these threads pop up, even with the extended battery someone claiming 24 hours. C-Mon guys, I love my Galaxy Nexus but lets keep it real. I'm not doubting CM9 will improve the battery life but these exaggerated battery life threads are getting annoying.
I think OP and the rest of ppl responding regarding Franco's kernel is standby battery life has significantly improved. Check out the AOS thread...some ppl were losing 3-5% per hour on standby!

3-5%/hr on an Android, even in standby, is great. That means you're getting somewhere between 20 and 33 hours of standby. That's far better than any Android phone I had in the past.

wonshikee,
what are you rom/kernel are you using if any?
What about this with stock cyanogen kernel and 2hr on screen?

IMO the thing we should be concerned with getting down is battery drain while screen is on. I'm completely stock and if I hardly touch the phone (10 minutes of screen on) I can have 85% battery after 12-14 hours on 3g with Bluetooth on (no wifi and I'm on att). But if I calculate my screen on time it's about 3 hours before the phone is getting close to dying, which is pathetic. If we could use some magic kernel or something to get 6 hours of screen time, then I think that's something to be happy about. But unfortunately I don't think that's possible without a giant 3200 mah battery which Samsung probably won't ever release.

Mines been great. Yesterday I was at 17+hrs which included over 3hrs of screen time and 1 hr of voice calls. I've only had my phone for less than a week, and have twice gotten over 4hrs of onscreen time (all with stock battery).
Running AOKP Milestone2 ROM with stock kernel.
I about a day and a half nearly 2 with stock and moderate use.
Batteries pretty damn good, you must have something installed that's eating it up. There's a good battery guide somewhere on these forums, usually helps track down the cause.
I usually get about 3 hours of screen time before I need to recharge. That should be normal.

AOKP + Franco kernel + 2000 mAh
Got two days of battery life just now (1 day 20 hours, to be exact). That's with 2h18m of screen time and 4h2m of voice calls. Screen time is mostly due to text messaging, Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and Google Currents, so I guess... light to moderate usage?
WiFi is always on, Data is off, Sync is on (except for FB sync), location services off. Didn't sign out of Talk, but did sign out of Latitude.
Also, since I installed Facebook, when you run it for the first time, it downloads a lot of background data, regardless of sync settings. I let it do its thing while it's still charging, and it was all good after that.
Using AOKP b20, Franco 13.1, and stock battery.
36 hours is the most I've gotten out of the phone, but I did screenshot this not too long ago.

I would say the stock battery is borderline adequate. I find that on the stock system, if I use the screen for more than 3hrs, and have all my services sync'd, bluetooth, a few calls once in a while... I would have a hard time struggling to get to the end of the day without the phone giving me a battery warning.
How I've managed it is to get the samsung 2000mah extended battery. It's not a dramatic difference, but enough to make it noticable.
As well, I've kept the screen to about 40%, used a dark wall paper, loaded franco kernal and tweaked some of the settings to be more battery efficient.
Overall, I think it's acceptable right now. At least for how I use it.
I also find that my battery drains quite a bit where I work as the cell signal is on the borderline between no signal and 1-2 bars. That's why I keep a charger at work as well as in my car to give it some extra juice.
I find the battery is actually quite good.
I upgraded from a blackberry tour, and with similar moderate use the nexus actually gets me more battery use. However both phones being idle the blackberry lasted for days.
Overall i'm never away from a power source i can charge my phone, so as long as it lasts me roughly 1 day i'm good
Stock battery
Rom: aosp self-built from aosp master branch
Kernel: at the time, franco's nightly #8 or #11, can't remember exactly

I got my nexus 4 days ago.. Since then im harassing my phone.. Literally.. Im constantly installing application, customizing the homepages, making icons, widgets etc, surfing on web, exploring the market. 100% of time, Wifi or mobile data is in use (although i got unlimited data plan here (with speed of 4 mbits and 1 mbit upload), my wifi is more faster than mobile data.).
So i havent had a day with "normal" or "moderate" use on my GN.. And, battery lasts for over 24 hours.. And, autosync is always on, brightness is on 40% aprox, screen sleep 45 seconds (basicly its not sleeping cause im harassing it all the time )
Im all stock to the bone, just unlocked bootloader and rooted..
Im wondering what will happend when i start using my phone with moderate usage ..
Hmmm there are some interesting answers on this thread. The battery and the low sound have been the sole disappointments for me on the GN.
I get about 3.5 hours screen time before i have to recharge.
I guess if i turned everything off i could get better performance battery wise. But why would i spend almost $300 on a phone only to not use it? I am complete stock at the moment because i don't want to void the warranty but while i waiting for 4.0.3 i will be regularly using the hell out of my phone with a spare stock battery.
batteries have yet to perform at the level of the rest of the hardware, it's a fact. bear with it like the rest of us. of course we bought the phone to use it.
if you need battery life above all, turn off sync, it will do wonders.
personal pref: for more available resources, uninstall that widget crap, homescreens full of that i dont know whats the point of using them, even multiple homescreens, i rather have really important stuff on the launcher and just one homescren, black bg, no widgets. these are cpu and memory hogs, as well as 3rd party task killers, system monitors... keep it simple. less is more.
I assume no more than a day on my gn, but, as stupid as it sounds if you turn off the 3g and only enable 2g you improve your juice a lot. Most of the time we only need 2g.

That's well over 30min of screen on time, and with a bad signal at the end that drains.
Doesn't seem super out of the ordinary, honestly.
In total I'd say my phone was playing Temple Run for 30-40 mins, and then frequent on-and-off with google talk and text messaging. I don't believe what its saying for the screen on is true, because it definitely looks to be on more than 50% of the time, but in reality I haven't used it more than 50%.
Are there apps that can be running in the background that's making my Nexus think that the screen is on?

No. The screen on time will be precisely (as much as it can be) displayed in that settings menu.

Yup, your info shows lots of screen on time and hammering the processors with playing games.
And the LTE network takes a larger toll on the battery compared to GSM/HSPA.
The stock 1750mah hour battery is only good for maybe 5-6 hours of screen on gaming hammer time. With more modest normal voice/data usage the battery can go 24-48 hours.
USB chargers are easy to keep around. Bigger fatter 3300mah batteries are another option.

Click on display in the battery usage to get your screen on time.
Expect 2-3 hours of screen on time with the LTE Nexus.
As others have said, check your screen on time. Just to clear something up the % listed next to the object in the battery menu tells you the percentage of the battery used, not the overall battery. For example, 50% used by Screen, and the battery level is at 30% means that the screen roughly used about 35% of the overall battery, not that the screen used 50% of the total battery.
iphone 4s dont have that kind of problem.
My maguro with the 2000 mah battery lasts all day with half a charge still left over with AOKP/Franco kernel, undervolted and hotplug mod.
I'm usually on wifi though, since I have wifi at both work and home. That definitely helps a lot.

I did not see a thread similar to this for HOX. People have been saying that HOX battery is not as good as SG3 but I just wanted to get an idea how much other users are getting.
MY HOX White is giving me an awsome backup for 48 hours average with 2 hours screen time and 45 minutes talk time. I think it is awesome. Post your hours here.

Hey man;
Sure the battery life in SGS3 is better, it has lighter processor (which doesn't help in heavy gaming, very fast in normal use though), more energy efficient AMOLED screen (which has less quality, but better brightness), and also the simpler TouchWiz UI (which is a bit childish in my opinion, but does the job well)
I get about 8 hours with heavy gaming (near 1 hours continuously) and web surfing (actually downloading, almost 500MB in total) and something like 1 hour watching music videos...
I get 2 1/2 - 3 hours screen time max! In the battery drain test my battery reaches 84% by the end of the hour, which I thought was great, but then again that test requires you to put your phone in Airplane Mode. The screen is a battery-hog imo, but its beautiful even with the stuck pixel I have haha.
LEt us get some more people to answer this one before we reach any conclusion.
Results are inconsistent for sure. Few people like me are getting 2 days average and few 2 hours!
For me it depends on what is running.
Normally I get about 14 hours of moderate use with 2-3 hours screen time.
Today I'm at 10hrs with 1.25hours screen time and I'm down to 11%. But I believe it is due to having wifi and viber running.
Personally it's my wifi that is really killing the battery. But given how I use it, it is perfectly acceptable
Is it true that non-rooted HOXs have poorer battery stats as compared to those that are rooted? If so, why?
I'm not rooted and am on stock everything.
How exactly do I go about testing the battery on my HOX?
Any tips for better battery for non-rooted devices?
I get about normal usage ( 3G-1 hour, Tegra games- half our, Music- 2 hour, SMS and Calls) 10h, just SMS and Calls about 30h.
The number of hours i get varies from time to time . On normal usage including listening to music, messaging, playing games and talking on the phone i get approx 4-5 hours max.

@Skywalker, I am all stock. How do I go about making the tweaks in the Rom?
Very frankly after receiving OTA 1.28 my battery lasts 2 days after every charge . some tips.
1. While you are listening to music keep the screen off as screen sucks up most of the charge.
2. I do not let my battery go below 15 %, I have read that letting them go below a particular level reduces the actual life.
3.Try these small steps, it resolved the issue of low battery life for me as I had read it somewhere:
> Turn Wifi and then 3G off
> Turn either Wifi or 3G on again
> Do not keep both "On" at the same time.
4. Kill the Maps process by going to the task manager ( If not using it all the time).

How many years will this battery Last?
With all these responses, I am really unsure how long can we expect HOX battery to last. 1 year two years ??
Kudos if ur still with the one x after 2 years

Now I think so that it will last 2 years
Now I think so that it will last 2 years...See this is theaverage battery life my HOX is getting...

2 hours Screen on time, 1 hour voice calls
I think turning off the screen while on a call or when listening to music will also aid in less battery drain. No?
