Links working fine here...
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!

Ouch, thats some serious drain. I was hoping for at least 18hrs. Still not a deal breaker for me.

Gosh, why is yours so much better than mine. Feeling like I have a dud here :/

3 hours damnm

Thats right around what I get on my charge on 3g only.

2H 55 of screen time looks to be pretty lacking if I'm not mistaken?
The Galaxy S II video run downs get like 8H or 4H on web browsing.
But yea, diff situations

Your pictures are broken can't see any of them.
Edit: 3h screen on sounds pretty normal to me. Depends though on the brightness of the screen.

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.
IMO, BEST.ANDROID. APP. EVER.

[Q]Who gets 16+ hours of hard core use with battery?

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.
Win

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.

I'm using an LTE Nexus with the official Sammy ext. Battery, yet my battery life is ****. After playing temple run for about 30min in total over a typical class day and tethering for 10min, my battery is down to less than half already. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Well its not great either way, but the screen on and awake time in that screenshot looks more then half an hour. Looks at an estimate to be nearer an hour and a half which is a total screen on time of about 3 hours which is fair.

Pretty normal if you ask me.
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk

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.

Why don't you put your phone down and pay attention in class?
That seems to be a big battery issue on XDA, people complain but they refuse to put there phone down for more than 5 min.

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.

Whats your screen on time? On light usage days normally my nexus looks exactly like that, down to the percentile of apps. Its judt that the days that I do want to use my beautiful phone... it lasts for ~5 hrs maximum, plus get hot as a mofo.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I have battery life that bad when I'm in the office, but I think it is because I have very light service...not enough service that it is totally usable, but just enough that the phone keeps trying to establish a connection...

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.

What have you done in that time? Just curious. Used cam? browsed net with wifi or 3g?
Trying to decide whether mine needs to go back or not basically.
How many charge cycles did it take to get to this stage?
When you first got the phone, did you just charge to full then use?

I want to know what you can do to get 4 and half hours screen time.
I mean, unless your just looking at the homescreen constantly there must be either WiFi usage or 3G going on. Unless of course, you were texting for three hours straight.

You can game & watch movies without 3g or WiFi.
As I'm on unlimited data, I think I will perform a test of constant H/3G streaming,
as on my SGS2, I could easily kill the battery with less than an hour screen on time. (less than 8hrs total use - streaming for only 4/5hrs was enough to kill it - screen off aswell)
... Screen on time isn't everything.
& as I stream a lot, it's a test I could easily do, & one I need to know the results of for myself.
Hopefully my HOX will outperform my ex-SGS2 in this particular battery test.
... Streaming over mobile data, truly does eat battery, but I hope it's a long test.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Half an hour on max brightness with screen set to never turn off only took 10% so you got a point there.
Screen time on is a good guide to actual usage though, if the screen is on then the phone is being used. So out of a 14 hour odd day on battery you only use it for a few hours seems a bit poor.
I'm envious of people who seem to get over 4 hrs real world "usage".

He said the wifi was off, please read people.

not sure if "insane" means bad or good. But it looks about average. The average screen on time ranges from 3.5 to 4.5 hours. Mine is dead center of that.
Bluetooth not connecting to anything still drains a lot because it is constantly scanning for other bluetooth devices.
BTW your reception is in the YEllow. that means that also leads to battery drain.
So if you have better reception and your bluetooth is off then your battery would last longer.
Note: I use bluetooth a lot and I find it to be one of the biggest factors for draining. more than GPS and Wifi. Although, using wifi with strong signal actually saves battery.

I really doubt that, because I did the same battery test Techradar* does, which is:
screen on full bright
Wifi on
Gmai, FB, etc all set to update as often as possible
Run a 1.5 hour long HD video full screen
At the end of that test I was at 84%. (the Video was on my SD card, not streaming)
In the video they have a graph of their stats for different phones using this test. GS2 and GS3 are top 2.

You're doubting that our phone doesn't last that... Uhh.. Short? I've had this phone since December and had many discussions with others on here about it and we agree that 4 hrs is about right.
So with that test you're saying that our phone can get over 6 hours throughout the say with normal use? Highly doubt it. You have to realize a couple things.
1. Wifi consumes less battery than 4g
2. You should factor in a normal days use that means including idle time i would say about 2% per hour maybe less.
3. Watching a movie means no "touch" interactions which means it consumes less battery than Web browsing or playing games.
So yes if you just leave the phone on the entire time without touching it. It'll last a long time. But with actually interacting with the phone and using 4g data. Most gets 4hr. Screen time in 17 hours of use ( you guys do get 7 hours of sleep right?)
I don't really believe that test. I know that the 4s battery sucks balls. Our phone lasts longer with our 4g on. It is saying that the one x is shorter?? One x and s lasts longer than our phone. So yeah.
