I'm sorry, but the battery life on this device is atrocious.

[pblakk]

I think both. I have a gnex and it has horrible batt life. I try kernel tweaks and turn off syncs that I don't need. Most are negligible. Honestly, to turn off google now has had a noticable improvement.
I don't really have a use for the cards so I turn them off.
Try turning it off a couple of days and have a look at ur batt. Can't hurt.

I'll see how it goes. I don't even have the update yet.

Yah but since this is in the dna forum and they have jb, it might help someone.

Definitely not my experience here. I have Google Now turned on and get the commonly quoted ~16 hours per charge. I'll kill Now for a day to see if it makes a difference, but I'd honestly be surprised.

Today I noticed that Maps is taking 54% of my battery, seems to be the commute Card. From Google Now, and it only works heavily when I am at work, try disabling that.

For me right now but shows 3%, but then I've only been unplugged for about 6 hours.

Turn off google now. Bringing up them cards drains batt.

This is not true at all for me. I have all cards enabled and my battery life is quite good..

Yea something's up with your phone. Get a new one from VZW. I've been unplugged since about 4:30 this morning.

This was today at work now. Different location but significantly less action. I mmaybe answered 20 texts today, checked my mail. Thats IT! Should my results be better?

After 11 hours you were down to 60%? That's awesome!

Yes but keep in mind, it was as if i took it off the charger and barely touched it from 8-6. occasional text message replies. If you look at my posts from yesterday, my "normal usage" results were pretty different. Wondering if all the awake time on my last graph post is an issue?

cant wait til we can root this phone and run vanilla android, with this hardware it would be unreal because HTC's software tweaks suck

Another thought, Fastboot is enabled by default. You can try disabling fastboot, as, some apps don't play nice with fastboot.

dude the battery life is amazing.

I have instagram, Facebook, twitter and all other services on. My battery life at work lasted 12 hours and then when i got home I was looking for wallpaper the entire time while watching the Giants vs Redskins game. The standby time is also amazing. I haven't been happier. If this batter was 2500, it would be even more amazing

Great tips, all, with the lone exception being the fact that we can't turn off LTE on the DNA..

How can you do this. That sound like a great idea.

I don't do ANY of that, and suffer no hardships.

Same here this is by far the best battery life I've seen from any Android device I've owned.

Here is my graph, any thoughts?

my thoughts are that you're a very good diagram man

you seem to have hit the tri-fecta of crappy battery life devices the the Dinc, T-bolt and Gnex. everything is relative.
