17 hours wow!!!

[Fillyo]

Battery life has improved for me, I took the phone off the charger at 9:15 and its 5:45 and I am at 69%. In 4g all day. Took a few short phone calls and emails, little scrabble, and read some XDA forum on the ****ter. Not bad!

I'm at 6 hours and 57 minutes with 45% left with moderate-heavy usage...4G signal all day long ...so it is possible... it depends on what you have running on your phone. Yesturday I had 16 hrs with light usage. Now that I can screen capture.. I will post my percentages later tonight showing what I have running/used and overall battery time.
Your battery life is going to vary between each person. Not everyone has the same conditions when it comes to using the phone.

As I stated Cyber I was talking a lot on the phone today but my big surprise was that it did not die like it would have by being off the charger, therefore; I posted a pic for the people that are having similar to the same problems I did while phone being off the charger. I don't watch movies on my phone I am still new to it so I will play the silly games and talk. I was/am just happy that my phone or battery is not defective and wanted to share my story.

Hi Brown did you try bump charging it helped me a lot.

Hi Brown did you try bump charging it helped me a lot.

I think I did. I charged it all night. Unplugged. Then recharged as I got a shower. When I took it off it was at 99%. 20 mins later on my way into Philly it was down to 85%.

Some of your settings need to be tweaked yet....Look at Sync see how often you sync stuff, Screen Brightness.......

After configuring my phone according to the battery saving tips in the sticky thread as well as bump charging it to a green led, I unplugged my thunderbolt from the charger at 7:30AM. It is now 6:45PM, and after somewhat heavy use of my thunderbolt, it is now sitting at ~43%. I'm happy =)

the thread that helped me was Juice defender/Blockbuster.. Check out page 4 on that thread read the posts by forgetful that person basically walked me through what i needed to do as well as so many others here. Hope this helps

Moderate Use.. 4G all day, Bluetooth all day, Browsing the forums off and on all day, 30-45 minutes of phone calls, a few text messages, around 40 emails received/10 sent = 11 Hours with 15% battery left. On light days, I easily get 16-17 Hours.

Wow nice!! Thanks for sharing

the result from my initial charge lasted me about 15 hours; however, on my second charge it went down to 4 hours....WTF!! i'm trying to find out what apps are running in the background that may be causing this dramatic reduction. a point to note, i was home for the first 10 hrs. of usage on wifi, and the remaining hours where i was at work and on 4G. wonder if this is the issue?

I may have to take a look at this "sticky"
I have a day off from work coming up that i can take the time to tweak the settings, I would LOVE to get this battery life, I use my phone as my audio player while i'm at work, i have to use full volume usually though so hopefully that doesn't drain the battery as much as LTE does.

Great to see that some got 10hrs and 17hrs of battery

Wifi will definitely save the battery big time. The main cause of the battery drain is the 4G running. Once we get an app or update for toggling between 3G and 4G, this phone will have no problem getting 12-16 hrs of moderate to heavy use. There's no need to have 4G running all day long. We need something to toggle it on when we really need it.

I just woke up an hour ago, had a full charge, and am already at 80%. I dont use ANY widgets expect the power one and the clock. Screen is about 65% and im using the wifi here at work. I have barely touched my phone all morning other than looking at twitter on the can. Any suggestions?

Setting the brightness to about 30-40% would be a start. I keep mine at about 30%.
