I'm out and about quite a bit throughout the day and have tried rom after rom but i just can't find one with great battery life. i know our phone is more of a higher end phone and doesn't come with a great battery, but maybe someone here could point me in the right direction?
 
I have had great battery life with unSENSEable 1.1. I'll Attach the screenshot I took yesterday morning. More than 36 hours on battery and still at 50%.
If you want it to last longer you can use Kernel Tuner to shut of one core and lower the speed to 9720 and it still is quite smooth and lasts a little longer.

I've never had battery life like that. That would be great. I like to use Sense because I like how it looks, so it's a trade-off.
 
Mobsters works good for me when I'm out and about. The ONLY exception is working.

My work is a deadzone, due to the thick concrete walls and whatnot. So I have 1 bar of service to 0, and it's a killer on the battery.

Harmonia is a good stock rom with sense still on it that has a lot of the bloatware removed, so you can give that a try too. I just didn't see it mentioned in this thread yet.

V. 2.76? I haven't tried this one yet. I've been using Midnight the last few days but my battery drains too quickly. When I used the navigation while I had the phone plugged into the car charger, I was losing power. On stock it recharged. Slowly, but the numbers went up, not down. How's battery life on Mobsters compared to stock?

Are you using an extended battery or the stock battery?

The trick to the charging part is finding a kernel that allows force fast charge and you then won't have to worry about losing power while in nav mode using car charger.

I hate to be Sandy on this parade (hope everyone is safe), but are all "these" threads really necessary?

By that I mean nearly any thread whose title contains the word "best." Unless it says something like "Best Buy offering Evo V 4G for $25 with free $50 gift card" (shouldn't go in All Things Root anyway), can we try ditching these sort of threads and leave it clean for developers and those who want to talk about those roms in THAT thread, and for those who many need urgent help with their phones (like if it's on fire and they want to know the best app to use for dousing it in water)?

Try the roms. We all have. If you want to know what roms are the best for what YOU need and like, flash one. Then another. It makes everyone here more Android-literate and keeps the forum clean and easy to browse for the more urgent questions and issues.
 
That is the stock battery that came with the phone.
Something helpful is I can actually see the cell tower out my window, so I'm at max bars. And I have WIFI on so it only needs to use 3g when I am driving around. I am a "manual sync" guy and I'm sure that helps too, BUT it really does give me better battery life than I have had on any other ROM with the same settings.

look i know where you're going with this but fyi i HAVE tried them all and i just wanted other people's input or how they were using kernel tuner and all those goodies to extend their battery life. and if others check back often enough, they will notice what questions are more urgent then not. you could have just seen this thread and kept scrolling
