Now this battery life is more like it

-Wifi and Bluetooth on whole time
- Tons of texting, a lot
- Over 1 hour of phone calls on Bluetooth
- Over 3 hours of A2DP streaming
- Periods of no signal (subway)
- Screen on for 2 hours
- Google Reader and Web browsing
- Used the phone as I would normally without thinking about battery at all.
Very very happy. UPDATED with recent screenshots before I plugged it in.

Out of interest, how many times have you charged your phone (0%-100%)?

Never drained it to zero and started using it right away without charging it. Its been charged to 100 twice already. My uptime is 73 hours and that's exactly how long I've had the phone.

Wow! I wish mine was as good as that, seems to be getting better with each charge though, which is a positive.

Most I have got is 12,
Hopefully this will increase over time

Honest question, how many times are you more than 12 hours from sleeping or relaxing in your house?
12 hours is more than adequate for a normal user

This is mine after a fresh wipe and no apps installed. Just thought i`d see how it did with normal use.

Here's mine; at a point the phone got itself shut down for some reason, and I couldnt get it restarted at that moment, so I left it like that, and when I could turn it back on, it was quite warm around the camera unit, and also the battery was pretty much drained - thats what you can also see on the screenshot at the "20minutes" part of t he scale. After I've removed the battery and put it back, the phone was working for quite a while again, like 12 more hours.

I'm sure auto brightness helps as it keeps screen dim but during my use it was brighter especially outdoors. My whole point is there is no secret, you should use the phone as you would like it. One thing I could have done I'm sure to improve battery life is turn off wifi and bt when they weren't in use and possibly not have as many apps running but then what's the point in having the phone?: D

I get around 11-13 hours. Not too impressed. My iPhone 4S gets 20 easily. I'm really conservative on my Nexus too because doing anything intensive (games, video recording, youtube etc) really rapes the battery. I'm guessing some of you turn off auto sync or something.

I'm currently on 1 day 1 hour, with 50% left. Although with light usage.

It's simple really - the more you use the phone the worse battery life is but that's because you used the phone more! I never use the phone LESS just for battery life because then you're doing yourself and the phone injustice.

43% - 14h.. screen taking up 48%

from what I can see, apart from the screen, the biggest battery hog is wifi/3g
I installed Juice Defender and I am getting fantastic battery life now:

So JuiceDefender works fine for you? I just read that alot of users had problems with ICS and JD. Would be great if it worked though!

Here's mine. Since I was at work all day I only got time to play Dillo Hills for about 20 mins but I've found the battery is REALLY good after flashing the Android Revolution ROM. MoDaCo causes too much drain IMHO.

Battery life isn't too bad on mine. I got mine on the 10th and I used it right out of the box. Battery life wasn't that great until I did a charge to 100%. The OTA update didn't change much for me in regards to battery. Currently at 21h uptime and I'm at 32%.

When did your battery life start to get better?

I have had the phone for 5 days and with fairly light usage, I am still not getting good battery life. I turn off all data and wifi when not using it and screen on time is below 2 hours.
Below is a screenshot of my battery life.

By about the 3rd day it seemed better. But it's also difficult to gauge because the first few days you're bound to toy with it constantly.
Until there is an empirical way to gauge usage, like an amp meter attached to the phone - it's all perception imo.

Do yourself a favor and try aokp milestone 1 from rootzwiki , and also download lean kernel 1.1.1 on xda. Use interactiveX governor for kernel. This is the exact setup I am using now, and have been for a few days and have been getting insane battery life. Hope everything works for you.

Just like they can't make it an 8 mega pixel camera in an OTA. You can get it much better by doing custom roms and thigns of that nature.

First off, it's hard to tell by your screenshot how good or bad your battery life is. You're burning approximately 10%/hr, but maybe you had your screen on or were surfing the internet for a portion of that time. Anything that involves data transfer will kill your battery faster.
I got my Galaxy Nexus on Wednesday, and I've had great battery from the start. I calibrated it by letting the phone's initial charge die down to zero, and then charged it all the way up to 100%, and then used the Battery Calibration tool. I drain between 2-3% hour with light use, but can obviously drain much more depending on what I'm using the phone for.
That being said, for those on this board who think an OS upgrade is going to fix the problem, I highly doubt it. I have a reasonably poor cell signal (averages around -95 dbm), but still get solid battery life. Given that we were all issued phones with the same software, if you're experiencing incredibly bad battery life, I'm going to point my finger at the hardware. It just doesn't make sense that some of us with 4.0.2 get great battery life, and others do not. You probably have either a bad battery or a bad phone. Now, I'll probably get called out for saying this, but watch all the posts that follow when the update releases, when people still have poor battery life.
This is my 3rd Android phone (Incredible, Charge, GN), and every one of these phones has had poor battery life. On average, if I'm playing around with the screen on, I'm draining upwards of 10%/hr, if not more. But if you properly calibrate the battery - which is VERY important - you should easily be able to get a full day's charge out of your phone.
There is a post on XDA about the 13 steps to proper battery calibration. Once I followed it on my last phone, my battery life went up at least 50%. You have to let the battery drain to 100%, then bump charge a number of times, then use the battery calibrator.

Try running without JuiceDefender. Constantly toggling data on and off (or wifi on and off) actually hurts battery in almost all cases.

Your results may vary, but when I used Juice Defender or Green Power on my Droid Charge, I nearly doubled the battery life. I haven't put it on my GN yet because my battery life is much better than what I had with the Charge.

No using JD or anything like that. Just the the phone do its thing. I don't even open the multitask button unless I want to switch between apps.

Gotta be a software issue with the battery.
Just this past weekend in Wash DC. Very strong 4 G market.
I had it fully charged off charger. After 7 hours without touching the phone even with google plus sign out, the battery went from 100% to 54%. It's like the phone was active a lot without me even touching it. No SMS/mms either. No emails either.
Know. I did same thing and put it on airplane mode with it 100% charged. After 7 hours on airplane mode it was at 98%.
So it's gotta be an operating system issue.
I tried it on wifi instead of 4G mode. And battery drainage was down to 72% after no use overnight.

Battery...hmm not bad

So I 've been wanting to really test how long my battery could go with minimal use.
This included...
about 45 minutes of 3G tethering
and about 13 hours on 3G. 4G was disabled the whole entire time
As you can see it was idle a lot, but I almost got 2 full days on stock battery. So no complaints.
Part of me feels like if it was not for that 3G tethering maybe I could have got 4 more hours+

Not bad indeed.

Would rather use my phone and have to charge when I get home then leave it in my pocket all day.
Also your wifi was toggled on the whole time... that would have saved some battery.

That sounds pretty dire....are you running at full brightness with Wifi and bluetooth and the GPS on (happens e.g. if you enable GPS for apps and then open Facebook) and no screen timeout while running the camera?
I've had an hour of screen time, and about 9 hours of screen off; I've not had it on to charge at all today, and I'm at 60% battery.
If you go into settings/battery, what else is keeping your phone awake? In other threads, people suggest installing 'Better Battery Stats' (nb, cheap, not free) and posting screen shots of the kernel/partial wakelocks. I can't interpret them myself, but others can...

The only complaint I have with this phone is the massive difference between hspa and lte versions in battery life. Other than the razr maxx no late phone has acceptable battery life including the nexus. To get 5-6.5 hours screen time on my nexus versus friends 2.5-3 on an lte version is just crummy. I know some people just have extra batteries but that short of usable battery life is just too much of a hassle for me when I'm out and about. I would be forced to get a huge ugly seidio battery if I needed to move to Verizon. Even with 4g disabled the Verizon/sprint versions don't get the screen time I get with my hspa nexus. I really hope lte radios get more efficient and battery tech gets better. Removable or not, all phones can be made as sleek with a huge battery if manufacturers wanted. The maxx is proof of that.

I am giving my machine a hard time every day. Usually it ****s up after something like 4 hours. That is much better than the old machine I had. However, it is not good enough cause I work for 8 hours. So after the midday break in the canteen there is no more angry birds for me.

Is everyone else getting strange battery drops? When the battery is at 19%, it drops directly to 15%, without going through 18,17,16. Is this happening to you or is my battery screwed up? It's been doing it for weeks now so I don't think it's about lack of battery training

This is with a genuine 2000mah extended battery, minimal use over a long weekend. This is also with emails, facebook etc all polling at 30 min intervals, wifi on but not always connected and screen on auto brightness. I had also conditioned the battery by fully charging and discharging about 5 times when the battery was new.

Mine's absolutely horrid, I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell's wrong with it. I'll run out of battery after about 12 hours, with the screen time at 1 hour and maybe 30 minutes if I'm lucky? The phone drinks away my battery in standby mode like a former alcoholic united with an opened beer. When I was on ICS, turning off 4G every time the screen was off with the AutomateIt app would give me excellent battery life. Ever since Jelly Bean, it doesn't seem to make a difference. I just don't even bother using AutomateIt anymore, I even uninstalled it. Useless. I check marked the option, "Restrict Background Data," but I actually had worse results with that on even. Following the thread about the Guide to good battery life, I turned off auto-sync. The only thing that seems to do for me is not get my emails in real time. No effect on the battery though. I'm guessing the battery drain has something to do with being on data (even though turning it off doesn't seem to do much) because everytime I go to school where there's little WiFi, battery's worse. Also, somehow my Messaging app takes up more battery than the screen. What's with that? I'll text every now and then, but it shouldn't eat away my battery like a fat man with the last batch of Twinkies. Enough with the dumb similes, haha, but I actually need help with this. I really don't wanna buy a battery off eBay cause the damn people are too lazy to send you the battery until a month passes, and I hate charging in the middle of the day.
I'm on 100% stock. I used to root and mess around with a ton of ROMs, but then I realized all my favourite ROMs were the ones closest to stock...

.... look at the eBay expected arrival and/or look for a seller in the USA ?
Anyway, that bit aside - have you installed something like BetterBatteryStats to be able to see what the problem is so you can fix it ?

5 hours... how !?
Easy !
I'm on stock and if I'm almost all the day on WIFI, not playing too much games, and with auto-brightness,
I can get 5 to 6 hours screen time.
(but on 4G all the day, it's more around 3 hours screen time)

This is what most people get with normal use around 14 to 16 hours and 4 to 5 hours screen time. I think the biggest issue is that 4G radio that most people have on all the time. I I have wifi everywhere so most of the time I have mine off that helps a ton. Plus all the sync stuff off, I get about 6 hours over 17 hours battery life and about 30 to 40% brightness.

14-16 is what was normal for me when I first got my GS3 (after JB update). If you want more battery life, I recommend trying juice defender (custom settings for data off while locked).

I am extremely frustrated. My phone has always been bad with battery life. Its been over a year or so that I have not seen my phone last longer than 5-6 hours. I am constantly looking for any chance I get to charge my phone. My life revolves around checking battery %age and plugs to charge. Smart phones were suppose to be helping us, but its like they are using me to feed the juice every chance they get.
My T989 is a "SMART" phone with
- lowest on screen brightness (and a screen dimmer overlay)
- no NFC
- no haptic feedback or keytone sounds
- No animations or graphic heavy launchers
- dont play games any more
- turn off 4G/data anytime I get a chance
- No GPS
- Manual Sync emails, facebook and whatsapp
HELL, I want to go back to the age of Nokia's where the batteries would last you through weekend and still some juice left even after it goes through laundry.
But that is not what I am here to complaint about.
I would like to know what ROM+Kernel you have and how much battery life you get ? (w/ screen time)
Who else is going through these ?
Note: Currently on JB stock and a new OEM replacement battery

How often are you using your phone? It uses a lot more battery when the screen is on. You can get over 24 hours of battery life by not touching your phone at all/no apps running.
I think most people average around 3 hours of display time without charging. Check in settings/battery/display.
I'm running AOKP and depending on how often I use my phone it can really deplete my battery.

easiest way i have found to extend my battery during the day is to toggle my data..if i am not using it for a bit, just toggle it off, takes 2 sec to toggle it on, and can easily double my battery life..

(Still I don't believe the brightness is low enough, seems too bright). I am a student so when I'm in class I can't obviously use my phone, so that is why the screen time is below what you guys expect. Still this battery is legit! I got it for $23 shipped (Amazon Prime). On the stock battery I had to revert back to ICS, but with this Laza battery I have no gripes on leaving it on the latest CM10.2 (4.3.1) and letting it go on Dual Carriage (DC, HSPA+42) mode. As long as I leave school with more than 70 percent battery like on my HTC Sensation, I am fine.

I do have GSAM battery monitor installed. I had it installed since it was called "bad ass battery monitor". It always is consistent and shows that screen uses most battery (abt 35% of overall usage), even at lowest setting. I also have a screen Filter app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor That overlays on the screen that dims it even further and is believed to save some more battery.
The other major user is the apps which is

Dude.....less than an hour screen time tells something is very wrong.
First...I would bet the screen dimmer app Burns more battery than it saves.....that'd be my guess.
Second....flash a fresh rom, or stock. Run it at least a few days as is. With only gsam and cpuspy installed. Nothing else. I know you may really miss some apps....but its the only way to see if its an app, or rom, or hardware.
Then off gps after your install. Its on by default and is a huge battery sucker.
I'll bet things will be greatly improved. Then install apps.....monitor closely for changes in gsam or cpuspy.
Your screen battery usage should be more like 60 percent or higher....even as dim as it goes. That's normal. Apps, maybe 30 percent and then the other stuff. A 35 percent battery drain from the screen says you have problems.
After all your apps are installed.....try everything in that link I posted. Everything. And things should stay good.

wow, and i thought mine was bad... i have my screen on alot and play 3d games, i guess im doing good. running slimbean.

I do believe that the battery life on this phone is not the greatest, a spare 5$ ebay battery in the wallet keeps me worry free
