[International / GSM] Lovin' Liquid + Ext Battery!!!

[prostang]

Absolutely cra zy battery life!! Took my son to get a Droid Razr (wasn't willing to spend another $100 for a GNex for him) and the sales guy at Verizon was bragging about getting nearly 20 hours on his Razr Maxx. I showed him my battery and he couldn't believe it. He didn't say a word, just looked at my phone for a minute.
LiquidSmooth 1.25 and nothing else!

13hrs isn't that great -> what's your screen on time?

4 to 4.5 hours seems about standard.

If liquid is giving you 5 hours+ then I will be impressed.

you can see where screen accounts for 48% of the usage. I don't know if the math is the same, but that adds up to nearly 7 hours.

Doesn't work like that unfortunately

Its the rate that the screen eats power that is important.

The 48% means its used that percentage of the battery's capacity, not that its been on for 48% of the time.

If you click on the screen stats on the battery usage screen, it will take you to another set of stats Inc. the screen on time.

I have the Seidio 3800 w/ NFC extended battery. I was on Liquid... have moved over to Bamf 1.2 w/ the included kernel. I am getting a little better with it that I was with Liquid. But I am getting about 5 1/2 hours of screen on time in a 24 hour period and then needing a charge.

Surely if its a 3800mAH you should be getting double battery life? Unless you are overclocking or something?

That would be more like 8 hours screen time?

You're only getting an extra hour and a half for double the mAH?!

 

[SimsDelt]

Yeah, double mAh doesn't mean double the life. And I do overclock to 1350 on every ROM. If you are getting 4 hours of screen on time with the standard battery you have the most bad ass stock battery ever for the GNex. Normally 2 hours screen on is about max for most users on stock battery. The fact that I can get betwee5 and 5 1/2 hours screen on time is really good. Love this phone, hate the battery hog that it is.

What are you using to get 5 and a half hours of on-screen time? I have a hard time believing that.

I get that with Liquid 1.25 and the extended battery, WHEN Verizon isn't screwing with the network. The past two days my battery is done by 2 in the afternoon from 8 in the morning, but I have no signal most of the day.

Oh, okay. I just flashed Franco's Kernel Milestone 2 and have been hearing great things about it as far as battery life goes. Give it a shot.

 

[prostang]

I had flashed that with AOKP and it worked very well. It helped my battery tremendously, but I didn't think it was necessary with Liquid. I'll give it a shot.
