Battery Life - How's Yours? - Eee Pad Transformer General

What has been the average battery life with your TF? Mine has been good but feel like it could be better. Today for example, after charging and an hour of soem use, it was already down to 90%...but observing, it may also have like a "sweet spot" in the % meter as I often see it stay in the 50% to 30% ranges longer than the 100% to 90%...

Pretty damn good, I usually OC mine to 1.4 and have it at performance and it still lasts like 8 hours.

I have gotten into a habit of leaving mine in the dock until the dock battery is used up and then I will switch between netbook mode and tablet mode. I'm not sure on actual hour usage but I usually get between 3-4 days. And this is really my only computer at home, so I use it quite a bit.

With average use, youtube, games, reader, web browsing about 2-3 hours a day I only have to charge about twice a week. I love it. In the one test I managed I had my screen at full brightness and always on, gps and wifi tether running while I drove around town taking my wife to yard sales I ended up around 7 and half hours before i reached 15 percent. I'd say its pretty damn good. A hell of a lot better than my Adam I had before this.

Really good. Charging every couple of days

pretty good, i dont use it all at once but if i use it normally charge every 2-3 days

Mines pretty good, OD'd to 1.5 idle at 4XX. Yesterday on a 12 hour work day: browsing about 2 hours, Fring calls, playing games for about 2 hours, USAToday/CNN apps about an hour, Polaris about 45min, and watched The Hangover at 720p.
When I got home I still had about 41% left on the battery, it was on WiFi all day, bluetooth off, and auto bright on.

Lasts 8 hours if I continuously game on it.

10% down for an hour of use means at least 9 hours till you get to 10% which is pretty good, and just like the producer specifies. It's better than any other Honeycomb tablet out there, including Samsung's Tabs.
I can get on my TF to 11-12 hours of moderate web browsing (forums and static blog pages, not much power hungry flash) with auto-brightness (in fact close to 10%-0% brightness cause I mainly use it in the evenings, in a low lit ambient) and other than WiFi radios off, before it reaches 10%.
That's good battery life. Comparable to my wife's iPad 2.

I was out at work for 14 hours, when i came back,my battery has fallen by 22%. This happens often. In battery usage graph, i see that my tab was been awake intermittently a no. Of times during the time it was on standby, i mean like it was awake 50% of the time, in short bursts. At the same time, wifi was also on for very short intervals... my wifi is set to disconnect when screen off. I hav pulse,news360 and youtube widgets. And the asus time n weather thing. My mail did not sync during the standby time, as i received the gmail notification sometime after i switched it on. So it was probably an app that was causing multiple 'awakenings' ! Ne idea wat? I dont sync with picasa, so that may be ruled out.
Ps-this was undocked.
Pps- i found out the picasa sync option was checked, so i unchecked it. But i dont know if the battery drain was due to this. Isnt there any app like spare parts that can atleast tell the no. Of times/duration an app was used?

after using mine for about 24 hours fairly heavily, and having it oc' ed to 1.5, and a fair ammount of gaming, id say i could get a solid 7 hours of use out of it while still gaming a good ammount. Prob more, but no long term results yet.

What can one do to squeeze the most out of the battery.
- keep the the brightness at 50%
- set wifi to turn off when the tablet is on standby.
Anything else?

My stand-by time has been horrible. From 100% down to 85% overnight, then down to 35% after 16 hrs, and the next morning, 15% left! So I literally have to recharge every other day even with very light use!
I have set wifi to disconnet when screen off, and I have weather, pulse, gmail and c-note widgets on

I use my tablet for email, sometimes youtube and lots of games. Its on stock 3.1 with root and OCed to 1.4. It's probably like 2 hours everyday usage. I only charge it like twice a week.
I set my brightness to Auto, Wifi is on, might disconnect when screen is off, not sure.

How good is your battery life?

How good of battery life is everyone getting on their Fascinate? I've never had any trouble making a full day on it, and I think it actually got improved battery life since I installed the DI01 update a couple days ago. My phone has currently been unplugged for about 15:40, and with relatively light usage (no phone calls, reading a bit of news, checked the weather couple times, etc.), is only down to 71%. I'm not even gonna bother plugging it in tonight, and see if I can get through tomorrow with it.
i effen love this battery life. couldnt be any better
with continuously heavy usage i make it through the day, usally at least 2-4 hours of voice calls and 45min to 1hr with browser, 30min music, long enough to get the job done while looking at porn.(u know porn is for android LOLZ) ne way for real, another 30 min looking at droid-life,engadget,phandroid, and xda, and the rest on xda, its great
I get around 32 hours with moderate usage
I took 8.5 hours of streaming Pandora over 3g to get my battery down to 15% from a near full charge at work the other day.

I'm now at 1 day, 5 hours, and 47 minutes unplugged, and with light usage, am at 52%. w00t!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm averaging about 12 hours off the plug before I need to find a power source again. This is 4 hours better than my old Moto Droid 1 so I'm definitely not complaining. I spend a LOT of time on the Remote VNC app logging into computers around where I work, and that tends to drain the battery fairly quickly. I can easily make it through the day on my days off at work.
Yeah I get very solid battery life with my fascinate. Usually down to 40% after a full day which is constantly checking and replying to emails, moderate texting, maybe 45min of web browsing, 30 min of streaming radio, and an hour of playing Abduction 2 .
Im pleased as well. Usage varies. I tell people the battery is good for about 5-6 hours of constant non-stop use. Screen lit, downloading something via WiFi or 3G, apps, games, camera, emails, texts, GPS/Nav, whatever. Constant heavy use = 5-6hours. So if you are like me and average maybe 20minutes per hour of actually using it, an 12-14 hour day is a piece of cake. If you only average using it heavy duty 10 minutes per hour than absolutely you can probably get away with charging every other day.
22h 47m Since unplugged. Battery now at 26%. I keep GPS and Autosync off until I need them. Also installed an app called Battery Boost that helps manage battery draining stuff you can't keep up with. I think it helps and was free.
wow you guys are getting really long batt life. I moderately use my phone and I always get around 13-15 hours. I don't play games / listen to music, I turn off everything except GPS and have screen at lowest brightness. The only time I hit 24 hours is when I installed juice defender.
little over 16 hours; quite pleased
I am not using juice defender and I am getting a little over 16 hours with moderate usage.
From 5am to 8pm it lasts.. on 3g and at 8pm I get home and switch to wifi.. which is about 30% at 8pm.
I found that disabling that last option in the display settings really helped me.
I also am not using any task killers or (again) JuiceDefender or GPS or BT, just 3g cellular service for most of the day.
I am rooted and have the lagfix applied via the original dirrk method.
Battery Life
The first day I got the phone I thought the battery was crap. But I did do a TON of stuff on it. (Rooted, Lagfix, a zillion installs)
Day 2 with the phone I was at school and used it quite frequently from 7 AM and worked until 10 PM. At school everyone had to see it and it was in use almost all day. It finally died around 10:15.
Over all I am pleased with the battery life and I am sure after I get to a norm with having everything set the way I want it will last a lot longer.....
I've been streaming Pandora for about six hours. I've downloaded a bunch of apps/widgets and spent a lot of time customizing my phone, just playing around. Talked for about half an hour and I'm at about 50%.
Well, i think we can all agree that the battery life on the Fascinate is quite satisfactory. Oh, just a quick tip. With the AMOLED screen, black pixels are actually pixels that are turned off, so the more black you have on your screen, the less power it will draw, as more pixels are turned off. I set my xda app to the dark theme, mostly because I like it better, but it has the added benefit of saving battery life too. I plan on sticking with dark wallpapers and stuff.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Only had mine for a day so I can't really comment on the life of the battery, but one thing that does puzzle me is that the battery indicator in the upper right is full, but its only at 82% charged. Is this normal?
2nd day with this phone, first full day with it, so I've been testing the battery life. 2 1/2 hours of non stop usage since I woke up at 33% brightness. Calls, texts, testing the camera, playing games like NOVA, Asphalt, and Gem Miner, listening to music, and my battery is at 68%. I'm very impressed.
EDIT: Lasted from 1:19 to 11:33 yesterday before it finally died, and I seriously did not put it down all day. I'm very impressed with the battery life.
This is the usual for me. Using gps, music, lots of cellular data, wifi, etc.

Yesterday I went to MD for a wedding and took my phone off the charger at around 2pm. When I got back today around 4, I still had charge.
It's about average I guess, but I think I had better battery service when I uninstalled the verizon visual voicemail stuff. The VVM service seems to have an impact. I assume it monitors the voicemail server and downloads voicemails when they come in.

lets see who has the most battery life

i wonder who has thebest battery life 4 samsung vibrant i get 6hr 40 min full charge nd i m running the obsidiyan 5 beta rom i think i spelled it rong
Ive gotten 12hrs. with moderate use on obsidion v3. On v4.2 not do much.
Fear the beard...

I win. And after actually doing a full calibration of that, i got ~65 hours total
I was at 2 days 9 hrs with 19% battery life left before I plugged it in the other day.
That would be equiv to 57 hours with 81% drain.
If that was a straight linear drain and with a fully calibrated battery that would be an estimated 72ish hours of battery life.
I am running Onyx 4.2.
i got 4 days 8 hours 12 minutes. still running at 16%.
19% @ 21h 6m 44s since unplugged
but i don't remember if i rebooted or plugged in the usb somewhere along the way. either way, acceptable battery life, maybe slightly better than JI6
obsidian v4.2
edit: w/ stock kernel. i've heard the UCLF kernels have been having battery issues
Anyone can get 60 hours if you unplug, connect to wifi or turn off data and let your phone sit unused...these threads are pointless...
haha holy cow thats a long time with ur battery what do u guys not useur phone a lot???? =-O
Who has a longer battery life? Toyota Prius!
How can you compare battery life on a device that is being used differently from person to a person
Use System Panel statistic at least! I got -1% per 6 hours of sleep on Obsidian v4.2 and ~6 hours of constant usage.
So are you guys using eugene's kernels that give you actually ALL of the battery life by letting the battery die at 3v?

Exactly, even turn off wifi for more juice!!
Realistically, the best I have gotten was 24-25 hours (moderate use)
i actually use my phone normally, for me at least. and yes, i can still get 60 hours. i don't have a data plan, so i use wifi. I text throughout the day, but i'm not a "heavy" user so that's why my battery is higher.

Here you go! Most of has data plan and always connected to 3G, sync contacts with FB, google etc, email client, weather widget, FB feeds, stocks, news blah blah blah...I get 16-18 hours max with all this running and moderate use.
played angry birds for 3 hours straight, still at 90%.
I hit a record.
Yesterday riding around I must have watched a few YouTube videos and surfed the web/used XDA app to read forums. Perhaps I sent a text or two. No phone calls, GPS, or WiFi, though...
2 hours 34 minutes (yes, that's kind of ironic numbering, but that's what it said) later it was at 27% battery life left.
I now have like 80% of the Apps I had installed before uninstalled, so I know it's not a software issue with something draining the battery.
Display was taking 77%. Samsung initially stated that the sAMOLED screens would not drain as much battery, I think that is likely the culprit for many of the battery woes. I will be sure to avoid this screen type in the future.
My HD2 has a much smaller battery, but with the same usage patterns it runs circles around this Vibrant. It's not even funny.
The Vibrant can maybe standby for a day and a half. I can use my HD2 casually but let it stand by a majority of the time and the battery lasts like half a week...
I think the Screen is the culprit, IMO, which would explain why people who turn off auto-brightness and fiddle with that see much better battery life. On the flip side, the issue is exacerbated because the Vibrant doesn't have an LED Notification light (like the HD2), so everytime you get a text instead of using an inexpensive LED notification light, it's flashing that screen on. That means even if you don't use the phone all that much, your standby uptime can still be deplorable compared to some other phones if you get a lot of phone calls or notifications which turn the screen on.

I'll believe that when I see it. In any case if I play a game that long on the phone (I never do, but IF), I'd be at a charger, anyways.
21 hours to 50% ON STOCK
I got 21 hours on 50% drain using the juice defender on the stock rom. Not bad i would say especially considering what I was getting before I took steps to conserve battery life.
As someone else already said, this is kinda pointless. Everyone is gonna use their phone's differently. With all the apps, configurations, etc, there are literally millions of different variables.
Something that I find puzzling... I see so many people upgrading to 2.2 only to get 6-12 hours battery life. Why in the world do people accept that? What is so great about 2.2 that people are willing to settle for having such piss poor batter life just so they can run 2.2 on their phone's? I don't get it at all. The best I could manage on 2.2 was 18 hours. That rom came off my phone so fast it wasn't even funny.
Anyway, with normal use (read: light to moderate) I get just about 3 days with my phone on 2.1 Bionix. I wouldn't be considered an average user though, as I don't have 3G in my country and my widgets only moderately access the web. What helped me immensely was disabling data when I don't need it. I mean, do you really need your phone checking your email, weather, facebook, etc, while you're fast asleep?
i can play pocket legends for 3 hours straight from 100% to 5%. think it's good but not enough.

Post Your Battery Usage Here

Hi, I know it's a little too early but please share how's the battery life coming along..
Screenshots along with other info on wether or not Stamina/Ultra Stamina mode was used. Thanks!
From it's first 100% charge.
1h30m of screen on time, no stamina modes used. Light-medium usage for browsing, facebook, reddit, etc.

That's quite average imho, isn't it? I mean after all the great reviews bout a 2-3 day battery life.. Was it more or less similar on the second charge?
Anyone else gettin better results?
I can't give any quantitative data, but qualitatively battery consumption is just awesome. I'm an ingress player so I'm used in measuring phone batteries in terms of ingress usage time. (screen on, GPS on, data on, moving around continously). The battery goes down sensibly more slowly than my previous phone.

First full charge with Stamina mode activated. Mostly browsing via WLAN, testing GPS, setting up Email etc..
74% used, over 6 hours screen on time over a period of 35 hours.
Very impressive so far. This is the first phone I've used that beats the LG G2 for battery life - and it trounces it!

Hey Ben it's pretty impressive indeed. Any stamina mode or so activated?
Nope. Just as it comes.
That's pretty awesome. Mine currently lasts around 16 hours, with heavy usage (I'll try to get screenshots in the coming days). Mind sharing the settings you're using?
Wow amazing! Do you mind sharing your app usage as well? Thanks!
That was just with general browsing using Chrome & tapatalk, video streaming using Showbox & BBC iplayer and general messing about with the phone. No games.
Auto brightness is on, stamina is turned off, but I do use greenify (non-root mode obviously) to kill apps when I've finished with them.
Amazing battery for me as well. I used the phone HEAVILY today! Lots of browsing and talk time.
There will be no problem getting over 6 hours on screen time.
This includes a lot of music playing as well, and the total is off by about two hours since I rebooted the phone at the AT&T store.
I had stamina mode enabled for some of that, but only the performance part, I disabled the part that turns off networking when sleeping. I honestly can barely tell any difference (except for longer battery life) between having stamina off/on when it's just the performance part, so I tend to leave it on now.
This is my 2nd day, I have 4h screen time and I'm around 45% now right before going to bed. Should easily get me to 2 days of full usage. Which is amazing. This is just the best smartphone ever if you ask me...

Can you give me more details about your settings? Do you use double tap to wake it up?
Here are my stats. I literally tried to use it as much as I could while watching NFL all day. I had a ton of usage today with lots of background processes. This is paired with moto360 all day with stamina mode on with exception of gmail and hangouts. One gmail account and exchange for work.
Forgot to mention I also have Acdisplay - came from a motox and can't live without this function now
Two days so far using it from 100 to basically zero.
Not as impress as I thought I would be. Does this seem normal to you guys?
No stamina mode activated because I wanted to see how long it could last alone. I was really hoping for the "2 day" battery life the reviews were raving about.
Think it may get better after a few more days?
Day 1:
Day 2:
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Of course. I have double tap to wake on. BT and LTE are disabled unless I need it. Wifi/3G always on. Brightness is at about 30% with ambient sensor on.
Lost 3% over night, but I had a battery drainer app trying to access location all night! And I also really like, in battery stats display and cell standby are on the top. With my Samsung Android system/OS always was on top and it drove me crazy
Btw I'll post stats after another few cycles. This is just a first impression kinda thing with alot of usage time while setting up the phone.
Turned phone into stamina mode before going sleep with 37% remaining. T2w on. WiFi off.
Woke up 8 & half hours later and it dropped only 1%.
This phone is legend in standby mode. Bonkers
Does tap2wake supposedly increase battery drain?
I know it does on phones not designed for it but I figured phones designed for it would have a special kernel or something to reduce drain to normal levels...

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
very good even from the very first cycles.. I have gone through a whole day and a half now (35 hours from power disconnection), with average use, and still I have 41% battery juice left with already 5 hours sot.
sync on, BT off, gps off (just enabled it for about 1 hour) / most of the day on wifi (office and home) then 3G maximum when outside / no power saving modes enabled
....loving it!
bye bye ****ty s7, R.I.P., I don't miss you at all! :laugh:
I have no idea how you are reaching those times...
I got just slightly more than a day with what most would consider light usage. That is to say a couple of youtube vids in the morning, 15 minutes of music on the way to work, then a couple of web searches and emails during the day and that's it, screen brightness almost to the minimum, BT off, high precision GPS off. Overall, android shows that the screen was on for about 3 hours total during the whole period.
With this kind of usage I would get more than 2 days and a half with the Z3c when it was brand new.

something is surely wrong there. I charged last night, after two whole days and more than 6 hours sot. with the same usage and apps, in my old s7 I used to do one day only and 3-4 hours sot maximum.
I didn't take any screens, but at the end of this cycle I will make screenshots (hopefully with same results! :fingers-crossed
I'm so impressed with the XZ2C & its battery stamina. Same apps as my Unlocked Galaxy S9+ (965U1) and it has superior battery performance. I'll post some screenies later.
Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk
even better this cycle.. mostly on WiFi.. and keep running..
Here is my battery snapshots from yesterday:
The little XZ2 Compact blows away my Unlocked Galaxy S9+ in terms of both standby and in-use battery performance.
Both phones have the same number of apps installed.
Both have display brightness manually set to 100% brightness first then Auto-Brightness turned On.
Both phones have these toggles turned on: Wifi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, and NFC.
The XZ2C has Location set to Device Only and the GS9+ has Location to Off.
The GS9+ is always connected via Bluetooth to my Gear S3 Classic watch.
The GS9+ has AOD turned on 24/7.
I am getting much more reasonable battery times now. Perhaps my battery wasn't calibrated right and I had to do a few cycles.
anyone here that noticed any weird behaviour after the software update? mine always suddenly get warm and uses a lot of battery for no reason. it doesn't lock up or anything, but it get around 40 degrees celsius. the last time this happened to me it did this in the middle of the night when i was asleep. it went from 65% to 2% when i woke up. according to the battery stats of the phone it drained the phone in about 2 hours. Normally when this happens i usually restart the phone and it is stops for a while.
the strange thing is after it happened in the night, the usage is normal again with 37% battery now and 6 hours and 33m sot. device has been running for 1d 8h 53m now. location, wifi and bt are all on and about 99% of the time i am on wifi and 4g is active in the background for fast switching. i have mostly been reading some novels online with firefox and ad blockers (the website has a very battery consuming video ads that can't be clicked away and ads that stay on the bottom of the screen without any way to click it away.
I´m really not in love with this battery. There is good standby behavior, indeed, but if you woke up snapdragon, battery would drain awefully. In total, battery behavior at most is average.
I usually get about 3 - 4 days of battery time with normal use. Best battery time I ever had so far on an Android, and without root, debloating and tweaking nevertheless I always have "data saving" (or what is called in English) turned on though, and tweaked lots of app not to use mobile data, or less anyway.
depending of use type
without net use
and 5x calls per days i reach 5 days without recharging
with few net surfing and few long calls per day
i reach 2 (full) days
note that i have blocked all underground/background data exchange off any apps
6 hours SOT consistently.
Satisfied overall.
Roughly 11.5 hours of screen-on time, with Wi-Fi and mobile data on, with about 1 hour of YouTube streaming. Screen was generally quite dim.
Coming from my HTC 10 that got 3.5 hours of SoT at the best, 11.5 hours is like wearing brand-new spectacles after having severe myopia.
The battery percentage indicator at the top right simply refuses to decrease over normal usage. I love the XZ2 Compact.
I trully dont understand what happend here, i had 2 normal to low usage days with one fully charge, in class charger for one and half hour or so, then 60% of batery was drain out on the drive home(bluetooth on and conected to car)
Anyone has knowledge of how this can hapen?
Battery is like a hammer. Yes and that was on my Xz1c. I think that Snapdragon and Sony soft is better for now. Better than everything else. I had s8 and Samy was
eine grosse katastrofe.

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the 's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

Extremely good battery for light use.
When I got the phone it was 57% charged, I downloaded all of my apps and was setting up the phone, didn't charge it overnight and I woke up and it was on 20% after 12 hours off charger. Screen on time was over 4 hours so battery seems very good on WiFi plus I wouldn't normally be downloading that much data so looking good.
Light use for a 12 hour work day for me. Checking email/Facebook every 30min-1hr for a short duration, like 1-3 min. Battery drained from 100% to 90%. Pretty amazing.
Brilliant light use.
Sot max use - brilliant too
grabbed this the other day

I've got two full days and it lasted until just after the middle of the day on the third day. The quick charger is insane btw.
On average I'm getting two days with spare and that's with me using it as a phone with Web browsing, YouTube and the odd photohere and there.
I take my phone off charge at 6.30ish.
Yeah, with normal use and some gaming and getting two days out of it normally.
There are a lot of threads that discuss the issues with the phone (I've experienced none of them, luckily I think?), but not enough threads praising it. I can't understand people selling the phones, apart from the green screen issue I guess.
Heavy use here
Always on LTE, BT on using Android Wear. I stream Spotify for 7-8hrs constant a day. Constantly on screen viewing XDA, fb, IG etc for 5-hours straight
~40hours average. 10h +SOT avg. Longest is 11
Crazy battery!
On day 7 so far and this battery seems to be getting better and better! I came from the Mate 10 Pro, which had the best battery life I had encountered by far, but this takes it up another level!
This image is from 15 minutes ago, it's not heavy use but average, 1 hour of screen on time with 20 minutes of voice calls, I took my phone off charge at 6 am. My display is set to WQHD+.
I'm impressed with this phone, I'm glad I upgraded!
Battery great. Useful with Wear OS and BT music listening. I'm coming from the LG V30 and I considered it acceptable. The Mate 20pro has taken it up a notch. 6hr SOT time readily achievable.
Hey,
Loving the battery.... Awesomeness
It just seems to be getting better each day, this is from yesterday evening just before I completed a 3-hour skype call via Bluetooth, which only took off about 15% off the battery. I went to bed at 11 pm ish with still 18% of battery and around 7hours of screen time on.
Amazing battery!

What settings are you using to get 10h SOT? I usually get around 6. Do you keep brightness on manual and keep it quite low? Mostly indoor / darker room use?
The battery has been getting better, on my lightest day I woke up with 100% at 7am and at 10pm I still had 73% before bed. Overnight drain is still bad though woke up with 60%.
There was only one day of heavy use where I had to switch on ultra power save mode as 10% before getting home. But it was 7am to 1am and I was at a gig with bad signal and using 4k recording for about 30 mins
3 Days
Well I've been happy with it so far and I know EMUI 9.1 will improve it even more due to its new file system
Well, I woke up at 10am, and then restored around 20 gigabytes worth of data from my old phone, played Hustle Castle for a while, and listened to some music. It is now 2:47pm and I'm at 98%. This phone lasts so long it makes me angry at the other phone manufacturers lol
