I don't see a thread like this for the T-mobile variant so I figured we can have our own. It would be nice if you included the following with your posts:

screenshots including on screen time, information about your rom, kernel, etc. and estimated talk, text, browsing, and gaming time, and what brightness you had your screen on (auto, full, etc.). If you use something like SetCpu with profiles list your profiles and settings here too.

I'll start:

This is only my second cycle charge on this device. I only got it 2 days ago now which means it still has room for improvement

My sig has my rom info and I basically did a lot of twitter browsing, about 100 texts a few short minute phone calls including an hour long call when it was at around 10%, a lot of XDA reading, and no gaming today.

I have the device overclocked to 1.89ghz with this kernel with min set at 384mhz ondemand governor. I have a profile that clocks down to 1.5ghz at 50% battery life and another that clocks down to 1ghz at less than 10%.

I've never had a device give me 4h on screen time especially with the abuse I give this device. I can't wait to try out other kernels and roms to see these numbers rise.

Right?! That's what it comes down to. It doesn't matter if your battery life is amazing if the reason why is because you barely if ever use your phone...

This is first charge on anker 2200 mAh testing them out. Will report what stock gives me. I had WiFi on from about 95% to about 50ish.

I could make it 24 hours easily with light usage. With moderate to heavy usage, probably around 20 hours. It really depends on how long the screen is on though. This phone has amazing battery life. My HTC Amaze probably only lasted half as long.

I agree, best battery life I have had out of all of my previous smartphones. I am still testing roms and kernel combinations to figure out what works best for how I use my device. I'm in the middle of testing FSG3 rom with trinity kernel. Will post up battery usage within the next 2 days to compare to my previous Stock rom with Adama 003 kernel battery life.

This is with the fsg3 rom and trinity kernel. First and only cycle so far. Brightness 100% wifi on most of the time, and data and gps always on. Played music for about half an hour and browsed xda for half an hour.

Edit: screen on time was just over 4 hours deleted the ss by accident.

Will post up the 2nd cycle when it's done.

New screen shots after a few cycles. Again fsg3 rom with trinity alpha 36 kernel. Brightness 100% wifi on most of the time, and and auto sync also on.

Look at screen time on not just total battery time. This is what determines good battery life not letting your device sleep on your desk for 2 days and saying you get amazing battery life.

    Yep see a few posts up for some details on my setup. Only one gmail account syncing, black wallpaper, Google now disabled, 25% brightness. And my screen on time is XDA, browsing, messaging, and other activity that's pretty easy on the battery (ie no gaming or movies).

    No that's stright thru a full charged.... sorry I didn;t provide the other one... hater lol

    Cool story bro :rolleyes:

    Not a hater... just know how to read battery stats. You must have the only battery in the world that gets more juice from being used vs every other battery that drains as it's used. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Nice try vajayjay :D
