[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Okay, flashed it and didn't install anything, i have multiple batteries to do some testing so here's the results so far:

Battery drain is mostly @ 3G even when the signal is 5 bars.

Battery drain increased while using 2G, but still not that much.

The battery drain is almost not there when on WiFi, streaming an HD video on Wifi only takes about 124mAh

Switched out SD/SIM, same.

i got 9 hours out of 2G and 5 hours on 3G

i must say that my powerbutton is almost broken too, it behaves erratic sometimes, actually....i lock/unlock the phone by pressing the area towards the front cam a bit, to avoid pressing the power button which sometimes makes it press 2-3 times from 1 press :( idk if that may cause anything.

would restoring it to stock with an RUU fix a problem? i mean since the update would replace the bootloader/radio/etc... so i guess it should rule out any software related reason no?

My phone info is as follows:

SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)

RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

CID : HTC_38 (got from CIDgetter from android market)

i live in jordan so a middleeastern RUU would work i guess?
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Ok damn, Got it to S-ON and flashed a middle-eastern RUU and the drain is still there, the only thing left now is to suspect that the thing which caused the power button to go derp is the same thing that's causing the drain, Is it possible?

Damn, and the stock is so pretty and smooth *A*
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
If you're inclined towards it, get a dust-blower out, remove all you can without loosening screws & blast the darn thing. If that doesn't work, try get a mini-screwdriver set, carefully disassemble, clean & reassemble your DS. Time consuming but from all you've written - and the responses you've gotten, the odds of a software problem are seemingly slim.

By the way, does it heat up like an oven while in use?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
it's always better to send your phone back rather than opening it up
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
This is a but left field, but have you thought about trying a different battery? Try ringing HTC support and tell them that you battery discharges in an instant, exaggerate slightly and they should send you another battery to try

Certainly worth trying it?

Sent it to some of my friends here in HTC today, they'll see what they can do >_<

I got it second hand so no warranty, and i'm scared of opening it up so i'll just chill for sometime, hopefully when it's back ICS would have popped up mysteriously coughproxcough.

I thank all of your advices, means a lot ^w^ since i bought this thing i'm plagued with stuff, but it only made my knowledge a whole lot better, maybe this cool-down period will cure my Flashing OCD xD

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guyhoang:
I had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and was very disappointed at the battery life. I was only getting about 3 hours of screen time with the 2100mah battery.

Now I'm using the T-Mobile $30 plan, so I'm looking for a GSM phone.

How many hours can the GSM Galaxy Nexus last? I heard 5-6, which sounds really good!

I've ran a search, but haven't really found what I needed.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cloney:
Havent fooled around with wakelocks yet but getting about 2-3 hours on screen with AOKP M4 and Franco M1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
I'm on AOKP M4 and Franco r89 and am getting above 30 and a half hours battery life with the normal battery, not the extended ones. If you have much problems with the battery, try undervolting it a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
He's looking for display on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theherodrownd:
Its the same around 2-3 hours. I get about 3 hours on my LTE Nexus. GSM or LTE the screen is power hungry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Its about 4 hours of screen time for the gsm version, sometimes higher. It is higher than the lte version for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'm on stock 4.0.2 on my GSM model and I can get about 3-3.5 hours of screen on with a full charge, depending on what I'm doing of course. Total time is about 12-15 or so hours, depending.

I leave my brightness at 65% though. I could get more if I lowered that down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmcquake:
I'm on stock 4.0.1, unrooted, locked. I get roughly 3.5 - 4 hrs of screen on time per charge (stock OEM battery).

Edit: I should add that I keep it at about 40% brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChristoforoI:
I got 4.5hrs stock yakju 4.0.2 then moved to 4.0.3 AOKP M4 and franco M1 and get 2hrs so ibplan on going back to stock tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nybmx:
I get around 4 1/2 hours running aokp with the stock kernel. Using auto brightness and no other adjustments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I get around 2-3 hours with LTE on 24/7, push notifications, everything synced, and auto-brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guyhoang:
Thanks all! Im on my way to pick one up. 4.5 hours would be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
With my stock 4.01 yakjuux galaxy nexus I get 2-3 hours screen on time although 3 hours is rare. I have my data on 24/7 and push Gmail on the whole day, screen brightness is at 20%. How are you guys managing 3-4 hours screen time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
it's unlikely that you would get 4.5 h over the course of one day (or working day).

4.5-5h is achievable only on wifi and with very low idle time.

I'd say aim for 3.5h and wish for 4h
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
I couldn't understand how everyone was getting these ridiculous screen on and life battery times.

Then I saw how little you spend on cellular data connectivity. I crank out almost 1:30 screen on with about 8-9 hours, screen dimmed, gps off, auto sync off, LTE on. Now I don't feel as bad trying to underclothes every mv.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Thread is about GSM...

Pretty much. Without tweaking and Very light usage you shouldn't expect much over 3 hours.

Again, thread is about GSM. But what you have to realize is everyone's usage pattern is different. "Light" and "heavy" usage mean completely different things to different people.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
I think the take home of my post was more the fact that most use wifi at some point in the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
2-4h screen time means what? from 100% charged to 0% charged?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
After owning both the GSM and LTE models, I tend to agree with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
when reading my google books i get significantly higher screen time, around 7 hours screen time. Black screen with low cpu usage gives excellent results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCRoadster:
Yup.

It seems that since the screen is such a power sucker, it doesn't really matter what you do and the screen time will be very similar.

I use my phone to send texts, facebook, read RSS, and tapatalk, and I usually get almost 3 hours of display time.

This is over around 10 hours total.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
2 hours 30minutes MAX on WiFi with Juice Defender on Balance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toasterr:
My screen time has been vastly different than what everyone else has been posting. I've been able to eke out 3.5 hours ONCE. Mostly though, 1.5-2.5 hours seems to be par for the course for me. 40% screen brightness, AOKP b24, Franco M1. JD is enabled and on Aggressive.

A daily usage pattern for me is sporadic music usage, but usually upwards of 5 hours a day, about 150-200 texts, sporadic browsing, and 20-30 tweets a day. I'm assuming the thing that affects the battery usage the most is the music and how it doesn't let the phone go to sleep.

So OP if you're looking to listen to music all day like I do, that's an idea of how much it will affect screen on time. Music seems to be one of the few things that can drastically affect screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewr87:
On my stock GSM nexus I normally get around 2 days of battery life with about 1.5 hours of screen time. The most screen time I've ever managed to use on one charge is around 2 hours and the battery was drained within 1 day. Also my brightness setting is around 55%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
generally true with the exception of using data on your phone while the screen is on. watching netflix or some kind of streaming video on your 3g or lte will kill your battery twice as fast. when the radio is actively downloading something i find it uses almost as much as the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hbkmog:
I have to say that the screen on time for the phone is definitely something to be desired. A 3 hours screen on time is too little for the usage of a smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MerkurMan:
On my GSM running stock unrooted 4.02, I'm around 2hrs on the stock battery, and 4hrs on the OEM extended. Screen brightness is always 100%, and most of my use is browsing on 3g.

My stock battery has never really lasted long, and I blame it on my use of the phone straight out of the box without charging it first. When I got the extended battery, I charged it fully with an external charger before putting it in the phone, and it has been excellent so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Extended OEM battery with GSM auto brightness and wireless and sync ON is about 5 hours with rooted aokp or apex and a morfic kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
I wish there was a way for apple users to track their usage. I wonder if they are all getting like 8 hours of screen on time and don't even know it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yes the iphone 4 typically gets 8 hours of screen on time pretty regularly, often higher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastasauce:
I believe they do. Under my friends iphone it has "usage time" and standby time.

He claims around 8 hours of use on the iphone. Sounds about right to me.

I get around 4.5 hours on stock battery, 3g always off, lowest brightness. This is about 2.5 hours mix of browsing reddit, texting, and facebook. 2 hours spent reading an ebook. Running Franco M1 and AOKP m4.

Anyone know where I can get an extended battery in Ontario Canada?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
Jeez that's pretty impressive. Too bad I can't stand a single thing about iOS. Anyone know how well windows performs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Windows phone is decent but not as good as iphone 4. A little better than most android though.

Iphone 4 has the luxury of being extremely tightly optimized hardware with software, and it gets a solid 9 hours of screen on time easily. Its small screen helps but its more than just that. Test a nexus one vs iphone 4, 3.7 vs 3.5 inch so pretty closely matched even with the amoled, and the n1 gets about 3 hours and the iphone about 9. It makes me jealous but i just accept it. Apple puts more rrsources into their device cause its their only one so it gets tweaked and optimized to a higher degree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
If these numbers are accurate I'm insanely jealous. I'll never go back to iOS but maybe windows is the answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
They're accurate.

When I had my iPhone 4, I could get easily 8-9 hours of screen on time throughout the course of 24 hours and still have battery left over. Pretty ridiculous and it's what i loathe for from android.

I'm gonna see how my Galaxy Nexus GSM fares when I get it. Might buy an extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
That's...insane.

I really hope that OEMs make a commitment to making Android phones to have better battery life this year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Yup....one of the only things I miss about my iPhone. It was so "maintenance-free" haha....no hassle just use, don't have to worry about GPS drain etc....nothing lol

Well, at least OEMs are making strides.....Motorola specifically. Razr MAXX with that battery is nuts, apparently its difficult to fully drain throughout a course of day even if you tried lol. Atrix 3 should be similar to Razr Maxx just with Tegra 3 inside.

Hopefully GSIII has over 2200mah battery, should be more than enough for a day of heavy usage hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakestash:
Hopefully this is just the beginning with the great battery life. I unplugged the phone and was watching youtube videos, messing around in browser, streaming music from google music and sending texts.

This was at all 50% screen brightness, wifi on, sync off.

Constantly 5 hours screen ON with stock 4.0.4 . GSM .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nevod:
Have only 3 days with it.. first day stock, second AOKP m5 + franco kernel, today AOKP + faux kernel.

Actually, seems like stock is better than either in terms of screen on time, but is nowhere as good as either in terms of idle. I have 5 hours per 1% at custom with Wi-Fi on. However, with screen on, I get only 2-2.5 minutes per 1% at best. Stock was good for 4-5 minutes per 1% IIRC, though I didn't measure precisely. What I recall correctly is that on stock I thought 'great battery life! must be even better on custom', and it appeared not as good. I have minimum brightness set and use inversion in browser.

Also experienced significant heat-up near camera module while on franco kernel during screen on, suppose it's where the SOC is located?

And, finally, how efficient is browser's color inversion for you? It should be great in theory as screen is really mostly black, but seems it provides too much of a load on GPU as it seems that inversion is implemented after processing page layout as a shader that first converts everything to B/W and then inverts, and not during layout.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
Dont expect much more than 3 hours.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
the galaxy nexus is my first android phone that i didnt have to worry about having to do anything special like freezing apps, using an app killer and looking for wakelocks like i had to with my atrix and captivate. i can also have push email, sync my pics and calendar without it killing the standby time.

i think vanilla android 4 is pretty hassle free in that aspect but it would still be nice to be able to get 9 hours of battery life. The razr maxx was pretty successful so i would think more manufactures will start making more phones with 3000+mah batteries or at least an oem extended kit option.

[Verizon Droid Charge] mtmerrick:
So, before y'all flame me, I don't know exactly how the ROM i'm about to discuss was created, but bear with me.

I use Infinity ROM for my Charge, which is a GSII port. Everything is up and working on it, 100%. The GSII has received official ICS from Samsung. Shouldn't we be able to port the GSII ICS to our Charges fairly easily?

This seems like a fairly easy way to get 4.0 for our phones, especially since Verizon has said we won't be getting it officially.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
The ROM isn't the problem. The RIL (radio interface layer, I believe is what the acronym stands for) is the problem. The RIL is going to be unique to our phone, so there's no ROM port in existance that will really help. There are a few devs working on it now, and imnuts has said that his sources point to internal Charge ICS builds. If any of those leak, they would be helpful.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mtmerrick:
And the pre-existing RIL won't work with ICS?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
I'm not into the code of it all, but jt has a working ICS build on the Charge with a partially working RIL (no data, wonky wifi, and a few other issues). I'm sure if it were as simple as taking the current RIL and transplanting it into the ICS build, we'd have a full-fledged ICS ROM out already.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
InfinityROM is not a port of the GSII ROM, it is just a theme port, all of the underlying code is still the same as the EP4 OTA (more or less), just that it looks different. What we may be able to do with the SGSII ICS ROM is use the stuff related to the camera, since the primary camera on it is the same as the Charge. Otherwise, this doesn't really give us much we don't already have.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollegeBound1987:
I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab from someone that is doing some weird stuff.

First off its force closing a bunch of apps when it first starts up and when in use.

Secondly when I make changes to the tablet and restart it those changes revert back to the way they were.

And the third thing is that when I try to reinstall the stock rom or use other third part roms the problems still exist.

I am kinda experienced with rooting/flashing roms as well as using adb and clockwork mod but unfortunately I think this device was rooted by someone that didn't know what they were doing and screwed something up... anyone got any ideas?

I personally would go for the Gio, because I think that 3" is a bit small (Even my Wildfire's 3.2" screen feels small now).

But the Xperia is better in "internal" specs; it has almost twice the RAM and a better processor

The Xperia can also do 720p video recording, while the Gio can only do QVGA.
