I upgraded to .215 today and I'm already noticing a difference. On 211 I could literally watch my battery drain.

How did you update? When I go into system updates it tells me I am up to date. Is the .215 the System Version? Mine is at 6.16.211

You have to install the update your self. It hasn't been pushed OTA (over the air) yet. I am a noob when it comes to doing anything to phones so this process is not hard.
See this thread for info: 6.16.215 ics update leak - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Wow heavy use all day since I took it off the charger. Screen set to auto, sync on, gps on, WiFi on all day. I even used Waze every time I drove today and I still have 40% .215 has better battery life than GB.
Our stats are almost identical. That should be a good sign?

That's funny. The stars are aligning! Lol anyways, I would say that's a good sign. :thumbup:
45 minutes on the phone uses about 6~7% of battery life, as I recall. I previous estimated, if I chose to talk for 17.4 hours, the battery would finally die... assuming somebody would want to listen for that long period of time... with qualified settings in SetCPU, it's amazing how long one can go between recharges...

The issue I have is that my Android OS is sitting at 30% most of the time. At work the phone sits ideal with 3 bars 3/4g. I have sync and weather turned off. In fact I just reset it to original, and don't have anything other than what turns on with the base image (not rooted). I did turn Global off, but I haven't been able to track down what is consuming the Android OS. I did flash to .215 so I am thinking about going back to .211 and troubleshoot from there.

4.5 hours of screen on time, in 14 hours. Seems pretty good to me. Never got past 2 hours screen on with any other phone I owned.

On average I get at least a day and a half, sometimes two.
I use smart actions for "night time mode" only. 4G is on all the time as I live in a very strong 4g area, wifi is on only when I need it and GPS is on all the time. I set my auto update things like weather to run every 6 hours and have only one email on push. Screen brightness is set to auto and I have disabled my facebook app and any "auto-upload" features.
I usually get and reply to at least 25 to 50 texts per day, 2 to 10 phone calls at least which last between 2 to 5 minutes. I play solitaire a lot when I'm bored and will use epocrates and medscape apps several times a day. I also read news a couple times a day. So to me, I feel this constitutes fairly "average" use.

This is not quite the same battery life example as everyone here is posting.
Using the ICS Maxx moderately gave over 2 days.
My Maxx is currently not connecting to any signal (not active with my sim card,,trying the S3 for time being).
From full charge, I turned the Maxx on just to let the battery run down.
It is at 10 days, 6 hrs and it is down to 15% --- keeping/searching a signal is obviously a big drain.

Not that heavy a user but I am finally satisfied with the battery life. I do keep on 3G as around where I live the 3G is just about as fast as 4G and use WIFI at home. If I keep on 4G I get maybe 18 hours or so on a charge.
