Check out this screenshot. Now granted, I had a rather slow day with my phone. Only 1 hour 20 minutes screen on time. Minimal phone call usage. Only a few texts. Not a lot of data usage for me today so this isn't typical of how I usually use my phone; however, idle drainage is minimal and I still think its awesome battery performance. On other kernels and other configurations of mine I still wouldn't have gotten this performance even under similar minimal usage. Look how much battery I still have left. Awesome. Just awesome.

Running latest ImoseyOn stable kernel (undervolted and using hotplugX governor). Also, running Liquid ICS 1.25.

That's some nice hang time. I'm averaging 12 hours with using my phone a good portion of the day. I've noticed that there isn't battery drain at idle like there used to be . That was ridiculous. I've tried many roms and kernels and found a lot of them to be about the same on battery drain. Even under volted. I'm completely happy as long as I get up to 10 hours. Would be nice if we could get 20 with a lot of use though.
Axiom crossbreed for now. Its been the most stable rom yet. Using stock kernel.
 
What was your screen on time? By the looks of your battery graph the phone was sitting unused half of the time, with a little use here and there. Stand by time does not mean as much as screen on time IMHO.


Example, On Axiom i got 3 hr 45 min of screen on with 12 hours stand by. New record for me since i never did that on stock. That was running the extended battery down to 4%. So if you get 24 hours with half the screen on time it balances out.

I wrote in OP that screen on time was only 1 hour 20 minutes which is below average for me. Also, I admitted (in OP as well) that this screen shot does not represent a true reflection of my normal usage; however, I am still impressed with the idle drainage and how the battery functions under minimal to moderate usage.

I'm still calibrating my battery and will be using the phone a little more heavily today. We'll see how it holds up!

3 hrs 45 minutes is insane for screen on time.

Even with the extended battery that's pretty steep.

anything over 3 is pretty crazy actually, with the stock battery at least.

My mistake, i have to read these posts better, ill edit accordingly, like i said before it seems to all balance out.

Heres shots of my previous record, I really dont get any better life with the new ROM and kernel, just had 10 hours less standby and 40 min more screen time in that run. Over all i think all i gained is performance and maybe 20 minutes overall of usage. Happy! No complaints here. Im always on my extended battery when i average over 3 hours. Maybe 20-30 min less with the standard.

No problem, man. Your battery performance is pretty great. I must admit, I've yet to try out any of Droid Theory's Roms. Maybe I will have to?

That's awesome, dude. What kernel are you running and how do you have it set up (steps, voltage, governor,etc)?

Stock kernel that comes with Patient Zero. Its a Franco Nightly. OnDemand Gov. All settings are stock. I didnt change voltage or over/under clock. The ROM itself runs really well for being more of a crackflasher build, its not without its little hiccups, but everything works as it should 95% of the time. No apps for better battery life as well (Juice defender). Id recommend the ROM if you like a lot of toys. The beats audio baked in and the data/lockscreen options would have sold me alone. I really notice the difference in Play music in the car when beats is running. Any other questions, just ask.

Is that on wifi only or with some LTE mixed in?
 
So, been trying out ImoseyOn's latest kernels. He's released a couple more. I'm still dialing this new one but really good so far. Today, I had more "normal" usage and spent the entire day on 4G....no wifi. I got about 14 hours today with 2 1/2 hours of screen on time....everything syncing, GPS on, push notifications, 15 minutes phone call usage, etc (sorry, no screen shots on this run. Phone got down to 5% so charged it. Forgot to take screen shot).

At any rate, still calibrating battery. Today was my first run on this latest kernel. We'll see how things go tomorrow. :)

What was your display/brightness settings? That makes a difference too.
 
Heres 2 more recent screen shots. These were from patient zero. Took these 15 minutes go. Rough timing on this run was 6pm yesterday to 3:30pm or so today. Obviously you can see the time i was sleeping. (Gradual rundown)

Ran on LTE for 6 hours last night (6pm-12am) and maybe 15 minutes this morning. All the rest was on wifi. (Home and work)
Screen is at 50%. No overclock or voltage changes. No 3g unless the phone switched last night and i didnt notice. Only 15 min in voice calls.

Edit: extended battery was used, phone turned off 3-5 min after i took these
 
I noticed that you have bluetooth enabled, but not connected. Right or wrong, I was always under the impression that having bluetooth enabled used battery. If this a minimal usage?

It does use the battery. But so minimal that I never turn it off. Its on 24/7. Only time I use it is for hands free in the car. Maybe had it in use for an hour just while driving. Used it 3 times for calls. I keep it on so it connects automatically when I get in the car.

That's nuts, I gotta give this a try...

~17Hours for me with 2Hours 12min Screen @ 50% brightness on 3G all day with 5% left.

What was the ROM/Kernel again?

Edit: Forgot I streamed music over my bluetooth headphones for ~2.5Hours today which likely brings mine down.
