i'm currently on 12 hours + some change....lower than regular use...at 13% left right now...waiting until it's down to 5% to get an accurate reading of how long the battery will last..
audio book for 3 hours last night...gaming for 2 hours today...internet usage and facebook a bit today....3 phone calls...some texting...
nothing above average use...
wifi has been on the whole time...
if you're getting less than 8 hours on your battery you need to change your settings...use the suggestions that Power Saver gives you..
if you're getting less than 6 hours...you have a bad battery

Maybe the battery is my problem too. I am lucky to get 5 hours out of it. I am rooted and most bloat either deleted or frozen. Reception is decent. I know games take a lot of energy but should i lose 40% from my son playing angry birds for 20 minutes? Oh yeah power saver is on and screen at 50% always.

i used to have battery saver on as well didnt notice much difference i get at least 12 hours normal use on it by the way your 50 screen brightness is killing your battery
So what should i have it at? I just did that yesterday and haven`t noticed a difference in consumption just dies fast.
Lol nevermind i will put my dunce hat on now. I looked at it again and i must have read it wrong i thought the 10% brightness was that it dimmed it 10% ok set at 10% brightness now see if that helps.

I was at 100% 24 hours ago. It's at 33% now. I'll probably have to charge it when I get up in the a.m.

Here's my phone setup:
Stock
Rooted
Bloatware removed
Screen brightness at minimum
Mobile data turned off when not in use
Background processes turned off
I get two to three days on a full charge and moderate usage. Compared to my experience with the Optimus M and Optimus M+, I think that's pretty bad. But compared to what you guys are reporting, I guess it's really good.

from my experience with the phone i leave my brightness to lowest setting. i leave data alone battery is fine not much loss if phone is idle. the only time i put it in airplane mode is when im on the train underground cause then it eats battery looking for a signal. if you want go to settings>data usage> click on limit data usage if your on the 55 plan set it to the highest. now scroll down you will see apps there click on an app you will see there is a box to click if you dont want it to connect to internet. this is useful if you have lets say games installed they will connect without you knowing and eat battery life. you can do this for the apps there and it does help sometimes theres crap running and connecting in the background thats completely useless.
