Hi, I went from VzW 6.1 to 6.5 and also was not really "thrilled" with my battery life, although it wasnt terrible.

It seems the last few days my battery life has been VERY good. My phone as been off the charger now for 6.5 hours and I am at 86%.

The changes that seemed to make the biggest difference for me are...

1) set battery polling to 60000 (once per minute)
2) turn off "auto screen brightness", set to 40%
3) set the data connection to drop after 60 seconds of inactivity
4) I also did some "deep cycling" of the battery as others have described


I would say my battery life seems to have nearly DOUBLED!




I know its frustrating - but stay with it!



I found a good "check" for me was to use Dr Sig Stat battery monitor. Then I set the Backlight to the lowest setting, and unchecked the "turn off backlight after..." and "turn off device if not..."

Then I just let the thing sit there with JUST Dr Sig Stat running.
Watch your mAh! Mine does some funky things which I am sure everyones does but with these settings sitting idle...I am seeing about a 45mAh draw.

Check yours - see what you find!

Also recommend using dotFred Task Manager - go into Services and disable (hold on an item and select Manual) junk (like CM Guardian!).
