Galaxy Nexus Battery Question.

---

Hey guys I recently purchased a galaxy nexus about a week ago and opted for the extended battery that I asked for at the verizon store. My question is how many hours are you guys getting off your galaxy nexus with and without the extended battery? I can't seem to get a days use with it. :/ Also do you have any recommendations on what I should do to get more time.

Turn off lte.

There are too many factors between users to simply compare battery life. What is your usage pattern, screen time, brightness levels, average reception levels, wifi usage, GPS usage, syncing frequency, etc... I get maybe six hours from a fully charged extended battery, someone else may get twenty four hours.

If you want increased battery life, lower/maximize all the things I just mentioned above and turn off LTE.

Perhaps the most effective option that doesn't require that you alter your usage patterns is using a custom rom and, more importantly, kernel.

Get one of the 4.0.3 based ROMs (like AOKP for instance) and add a 4.0.3 based kernel (I suggest Franco's). My battery life is much better with that combo. With light use I have seen upwards of 36 hours on the extended battery.
