i wish i could report the amazing battery life everyone seems to be claiming...
Honestly, my battery life is terrible.... Today i got a little over 9 hours before i had to recharge with moderate use (with an extended battery). I just dont understand what i am doing wrong
This rom is great but i feel like i would need two extended batteries to enjoy it.
I'm with you on this one. My battery lasted only 11 hours yesterday before it completely died on me. I left the phone off and charged it last night, wiped battery stats this morning and after 3 hours I've already dropped 20%. If I can't figure what is killing my battery, might have to go stock and use Tibu to freeze apps I don't like etc.
I think that "Moderate Use" depends on each phone and it's owner. One person's can use twitter, facebook, the net, have numerous widgets updating on seven pages of their phone, have screen brightness up to 40% while listening to their radio and they would consider that "Moderate Use". And then they wonder why their battery is dropping down so quickly.
I am happy that my phone is light use (barely texting, occasional twitter read/updates, little internet when not at computer which is rare) and my phone will last from 10am to midnight without requiring plugging in. That's on the weekends.
When I am at work, such as now, I have running:
SiriusXM
Twitter updating every 15 min
Random internet use when I don't want to use my work computer
Screen Brightness at 30%
GMail
Lookout
Handcent SMS (texting pretty often)
Five widgets, two of which are constantly updating ~ every 15 min
And that is "Moderate Use" for me and I run at about approximately 10% every hour. With that all said, my normal battery is running MUCH better than it does at stock. I just think that people need to take their personal usage into perspective and (as said by others before) they need to remember that each phone/battery is different.
Just my $.02
Love the ROM!!!!!!
