Good to hear that your battery has improved. Mine has improved too on ICS but one thing that bothered me was that it was stuck at 1% for 3-5 hours on semi standby (was only texting every few minutes nothing else for a good 30 minutes).

Dude that's nothing. I had 1% at 4:30 today while using the phone to.install my apps from playstore and got off work at 5pm, on way home blasting music in my Ranger, got home at about 5:15, recorded a video of my wife and daughter making dinner and them browsed the forum until about 5:45 or so and then as soon as I hook the Damon thing up and turn on my comp to charge it died. That's freaking badges. Reminds me of my iPhone 3g sitting at 2% for 2hrs once while I was on the road.

Notice the most isage is cell usage,,, for me too, it says time without signal 100% or 80% or so... Wgile om in dallas metroplex..

Lol. That's like the opposite of my Ion being on GB. It was stuck at 100% as you see on last page(at least it dies in 5-10 minutes after being at 1%). Now it's stuck at 1% which makes it harder for me to decide whether or not to use my phone when I'm not at home.

I charged it for the first time today. I switched off data connection + WiFi, disable background data and decrease brightness to 30% but it drops from 100% to 85% for just 2 hours :-/

Check battery usage and click k on the graph at the top and then find out what's using ur batt so much. Sounds like I've got an app trying to use background data and can't Bc its all disabled

I saw cell standby cost me 40%, display 39, phone idle 14%. As I said I didn't start any service after full charge for the second time. Oh I used HTC CHARGER to charge my ION in this case

Since flashing ICS the battery life for me is much much better. Go through a normal day and still have about 50% left over where as before I would be at 20% or less.

i agree. i don't have any concrete numbers, but it does seem that ics is more efficient (and possibly runs cooler?)

Agreed. My battery life is significantly better with ICS. I use a battery logger so I can see te stark differences in the graphs. I'm so happy with the battery life improvements in ICS. I was getting really annoyed with the appalling battery life in GB. I had to always carry a charge pack...
