[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liorra3:
With their spacious, high-res displays, dual-core processors and 4G radios, today's Android heavyweights are an embodiment of cutting-edge technology. However, all of these goodies sure can give a smartphone's battery a good beating and drain it pretty quickly under heavy use.

LTE smartphones may be a good example of this as their LTE radios in particular are known to be pretty power-hungry, but the LTE-enabled Samsung GALAXY Nexus might be capable of giving you a relatively better mileage. A lucky individual who got to take Google's latest reference handset for a spin claims that they still had the device's battery meter at 45% after more than 5 hours of heavy usage (read: “lots of surfing”). Allegedly, the device had the display's brightness set to maximum during the test and only LTE connectivity was being used along the way.

Although we cannot really verify how far the GALAXY Nexus was pushed during the test, the screenshot provided by the tipster backs up their claim. Well, the Ice Cream Sandwich-touting handset is rumored to be not that far from launch, so it might not be too long before we find out how it really performs.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Honestly, I'm not particularly impressed, even if it is true some of the configurations was maxed out, or if the test was done with heavy surfing.

I'm hoping I'm very wrong, but I'm personally very concerned about battery life with the GN. This is a good start/sign, so we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i like what they said in this article http://www.product-reviews.net/2011...-battery-life-dreams-could-turn-into-reality/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
that article sucks. Its based off same image and on assumptions. They should be showing the graph where it shows time awake, display on. And also time awake for display since that consumed the most battery.

Reviews bases on assumptions are misleading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SquareBare:
I always wondered something about this...

If you have a 4G phone and you leave the 4G radio off (let's say there is no actual 4G in your area), will the battery still drain at the same rate on 3G as it did with 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No lol. If the radio is off it won't be doing anything, so it won't use battery. But FWIW many of the LTE phones don't have an LTE on/off switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tornlogic:
This image is old. Its origination comes from a tweet by P3Droid who has possession of a Galaxy Nexus. This tweet was then followed by another image showing screen on time. It showed 1hr 15 min.

So basically for ten hours of uptime per charge you get 2.5 hours of screen on time at Max brightness, which is what P3Droid said his phone was set at for that particular test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Can't you just turn that off in the Testing app (ie. *#*#INFO#*#* in the dialer)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes often this is the case. Not the easiest most user-accessible switch though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
oh what?... there's no battery percentage icon?...

i'd like to see how long the battery lasts with the phone constantly using 4G data with the screen on the whole time... like let it play some movies on netflix or hbo go.

regardless, it's all going to be about purchasing extended batteries anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElecEngineer1422:
Here may be a reason of such a good battery life. *I noticed on the Samsung accessory store i515 battery page, featured in many news reports, *that the words say that it is a 1750mah battery,*but If the picture of the i515 battery is correct on Samsung's site it is NOT a 1750mah. It is a 2100mah battery. The picture shows 7.77Wh at 3.7v which calculates out to be 2099.999999... Or a 2100mah. The battery of the GSM model shown in Hong Kong is 6.48Wh at 3.7v calculates to 1750mah. *I searched all of the batteries on the Samsung site and could not find any other batteries with the same 7.77Wh marking.*

** * * Maybe it is the extended battery on Samsung's site. It is definitely for a galaxy phone cause it has the NFC wording on the back, and it is not for the Galaxy Note because it comes with a 2500mah battery. Maybe this is how the galaxy nexus is doing so well on battery life in the latest battery reports. Hope the Verizon i515 comes standard with a 2100mah battery. *
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
uuhhh... if it is an extended battery and only 2100mAh, i'd be pissed and would just wait on Seidio or Mugen to come out with some beefy beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dc iz 2 legit:
Good observation! Hope its true:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grandadd:
Not sure if this is helpful or not but...

I have the Verizon gnex rooted with AOKP M5 rom and Franco kernel milestone 3. I used to wonder how in the hell did people get more than 4 hours on their phones because I could barely get past 3. I know the level in which their phone is used is different than mine but I would say that I am one of those kids that is always on his phone. Once I realized the apps that I use I didn't necessarily need 4g unless I'm using Netflix or Pandora, I learned to turn off my 4g when I am out and about unless I need it (9 times out of 10 I don't). So understanding when you want 4g and need 4g can be a big help.

I live in Cleveland so the 4g here is decent but there are still some areas where my phone drops signal and searches for 3g. That can be a huge battery drain as well seeing that the phone works harder to capture a signal from the nearest tower.

This alone has improved my battery life greatly. I just felt that I should share because its hard when you do a real life test with someone with an iphone you can't because your phone died and its only 10am and your phone has been discharging since 8am.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
I've also fell into this practice. I also use the Power Saver option in AOKP to turn my data off when my screen is off for 5 minutes.

Hi, i tried to update my xperia x8 to doixanh's froyobread or ginger dx and I didn't have much success. I downloaded the latest update file, moved it to sd card, boot into xrecovery and install custom zip. When installation was completed,i reboot it,and I thought it will be good, but it wasn't, it was just your logo of froyobread and nothing was happening. I waited for like 10 minutes and still nothing. Same happened with ginger dx. I'm using the official android for my x8 (2.1 update 1) and official kernel and everything. But i have xxx015, that number he wrote we must have. I really don't see any problem, can somebody please help me? I would really like to use his roms.

Nice theme - thanks!

Sileshnair, as said above i flashed your bluemix theme and it was perfect as it had the scrolling notification bar which was just what i wanted.

I have now upgraded to CheckROM 3.1.1 and i flashed both your new themes - but neither has the scrolling notification bar.

IS there any chance you could mod any so they do? Your themes are perfect for me except this small minor problem. No worries if you cant - but i have to ask! :D

the first two are for the resolution but why the 10 and 1 and 0?

has the zero to do with looping it or not?

For the past two weeks or so, I've been building my own OC kernel for GB and CM/MIUI for personal use, 1300 and 1400 depending on how applied can be an instant crash, it'd probably be best to seperate those frequencies for those who want them because the people who don't know how to deal with it will keep crashing their phones. Only a suggestion on my part because I've been working at it for a bit. 1.2 is stable as always others not so much out of the box.
