OK guys so I see people getting 7-9hrs screentime on 4g and I don't nearly get that. In just 32minutes of use I lost 7%. I'm on 3g no WiFi gps or BT. Here are some screenshots. I tried clean ROM and jellybeanz with Perseus and stock kernels. Any idea? I'd like as much screen time as possible.
Thanks so much

This may sound rediculous but I notice somedays my battery runs down a lot quicker than other days. Doesnt make sense but thats how it seems to me. Are you using the cable that came with the phone and plugging into a wall outlet?
3g eats a lot more battery from what I have seen...LTE and Wifi are the easiest on battery. That being said I still don't think 3g should be causing that much drain...I bet you have a rogue app since the app usage shows 50%

I havent even seen 3g since Ive had my Note 2 but this is odd compared to other devices Ive had.
Just use the stock battey monitor. Seems that it has worked best for me.
Yep using included charger and cable. Here is my app list

Beans V6 with perseus kernel. Im not sure why your phone is using so much. Maybe someone else knows.
Me either. If someone could please help I'd appreciate it. Shouldn't be so high usage

Download better battery stats and grant it super user rights. Let your phone sit for a couple hours (without touching it) and pay your read out from it here. It seems like you have an app going crazy, but just simply looking at your installed apps won't help.

how many hours of screen usage on 4g do you get?
Thanks
Open it to grant super user. Then let your phone sit for at least an hour or two. It's best overnight. Then post your kernel wake lock, partial wake locks and alarms.

You had the phone on for 9hrs and only dropped to 93%? Why r u complaining.? 40 minutes screen time at 93% after 9hrs off charger isn't bad at all. If I'm seeing that right.
thats correct, but while using it for a straight 60mins, it drops over 15%

I'm getting 2-3% drain per hour with moderate use and about 1% per hour when idle. I'll take it.
I guess the battery isn't that bad...
The guy who got that result probably is using an extended battery, has barely any apps and no syncing

I've had no quarrels with the battery life on the phone. Then again it's regularly on the charger but the battery drain isn't bad at all. Listening to music with the screen off only drains 3-4% an hour.
I feel bad because it doesn't have an fm radio
Those ridiculous screen shots are not practical. Sure I can disable everything, freeze apps with tibu, then leave my phone alone for a few days, but this is a phone. On heavy days of use it easily outlasts the captivate.

Same here. Show me screen time usage comparisons not when its collecting dust.
Throw an I777 into airplane mode and you'll easily beat that.
I think if I turn my SGS2 off and lay it there for 200 hours, it probably still has 50% left when I first turn it back on. Let me capture that and compare.

yep you turned on power saving for sure. That feature is 100% worthless. Not only dose it not save ANY power, it slows down the phone so much you can't even type fluidly on any keyboard.
No. Power savings is off. I also just did a factory reset and i reinstalled cf-bench. I redid the benchmark and now it is just a bit better than the s2, but still it is like half way to where the one x and unlocked s3 are. Can anyone do a cf bench and get back with some comparesing benchmark. This is enoying to say at list. I want to make sure that my phone is not deffective whole i can still exchange it. Thank u.

Kinda beats the purpose of having a 4G phone... not to mention an annoyance having to turn it on every time I use a web based app.
I've got to the point where I only use it if I'm downloading a big app or something. The difference in web page loading is barely noticeable. I don't get 4g in most of the areas that I work so I leave it turned off most of the time anyway.

Yeah that 3-5 seconds it takes to turn it back on can be mindblowing. You would be amazed at how good battery improves on all roms when doing this. I even turn network off. I got 12+ hours out of the leak with stock battery.

You can't fix the battery drain. It's a kernel issue and no way around it. If anyone gets over 12 hours, I'd suspect they were being less than honest by saying that...

If that's directed at me, I did try it, for a couple of weeks. It's a fact, the kernel NEVER allows the CPU to enter sleep mode. Airplane mode, turning off LTE, etc will not help. I've done that plus turned off syncing, GPS, and more and had 30-40% battery drop while I was asleep in bed.
Well nusense had practically all of the ics leak taken out and he is uploading a rebase from the desire s official build so well see how much better the battery life is. If you think about it. Liquid has been working on his build for like 5 or 6 months, maybe longer and nusense may actually surpass it soon in stability. It's almost just as smooth now.

Its only meant to be used when your battery is running low.
You can switch it on when say your battery is at 30%.
But as you know that will hinder the phones full potential.
Yes, I have seen that there are two options, for system and custom power saving.
When I choose system, it underclocks the CPU, but when I choose custom, it doesn't control the CPU, only the data connectivity options.
Just wondering how much extra juice you guys have managed to squeeze out of it.
