Hello everyone! I'm surprised this thread doesn't exist yet in the Droid DNA section. So here I am to start the thread. This thread aims to compile and collect all the battery stats of various users of the Droid DNA so that those who would want to know more about the DNA first before buying can check this thread out to know whether or not the Snapdragon S4 Pro with 1080p display could hold up long enough for their own usage.
Please post in the following format:
1. Detailed Screenshots (please just post it as attachments so that the pictures would not take away the whole screen)
2. The screenshots must include the graph of your battery, and your Screen on time.
By the way, no flaming and arguing please. Just cooperate and help the community by posting your battery stats.
If you have some tips to share to the people to help them extend their battery lives, then post here too!
And if you have problems with your battery life, then ask here too!
I think people have gotten bored of the battery studies and just enjoy the phone now... Personally i would say its excellent considering the screen size
Mine is loads of whatsapp, calls, sms, Facebook, xda app, YouTube, music...

That screenshot with the "History" on the top left corner, is that the window that appears when you select the "Usage"? If not, then please do include that as well

My battery history has a habit of not resetting. Meaning, I can go one day, about 12-18 hours, shut it off, plug it in over night to charge, and the next morning, instead of the history reading that it has been off the charger for about a minute, it shows over 1 day. I don't get it. It will do that all the time. I don't know what prompts it to change, but it does every few days or so. And just recently (as in the last couple of days) I have been getting a much more rapid drain of the battery, barely making 12 hours. No more excessive use than days previous. Any thoughts? No it is not rooted, or unlocked.
My battery lasts for a while with moderate use all day.

If you uploaded them to a site like imgur it will give you a link with [img ] tags. Use that link.
Or to make it even simpler, just upload them as attachments. No need to use a 3rd party site.

Here is my battery life. I started using the method mentioned at around 11 hours 50 something minutes, the rest, 11 and back is before I started using the options. At the moment, its been staying at 20% as I'm writing this lol.
Here, I restricted Facebook app (which I use on a regular basis) background data, and the gray part, which is background data usage has deceased significantly, before the option was disabled, the grey part was larger than the green.
I also, as the link I posted says, limited background processes to 4, which can be found under development in settings.
RAM usage is supposed to improve after doing this. Usually for me, at this percentage battery left, about 500 plus mbs is used. However, in this pic, which is after I applied the changes, I still have the same amount of RAM used as, say, when you reboot your phone.
Will post updated pics tomorrow night

I know this stuff works, I have practiced this ever since I posted, taming background processes and data not only makes everything snappier.. I'm pretty sure it saves on battery too(and I have pretty consistent good battery results). I was hoping to have more of a list of tweaks that could be effective to update the OP with.. but I am still happy with those two.
The only thing that sucks is that the background process limit setting gets reset when the phone is restarted.. but it is worth a few seconds to set everytime you reboot.

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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
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.

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%

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.

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 had been waiting anxiously for this phone, but it seems like not all that many others were as evidenced by the number of threads/conversations in this forum. I remember with the EVO LTE, that it was crazy in that forum before the device landed (and then got stuck in customs)
For those who say 'it's way too big'. I remember the same thing said about the original EVO. After playing with this one for a few hours, it seems normal.
OP can you run some movies/videos and post battery life? I watch alot of youtube and other *cough* stuff on my phone and need to know how the battery handles after a few hours
Can you guys please keep on the topic and JUST post Battery Stats of the Max and dont discuss any other things about an Evo?
