Hi All,
I got my new galaxy note about a month.
im struggling on battery life.
I went through lots of search, how to optimise the battery life when using stock browser, couldn't find any information that is helpful at all.
i have done - reset to factory default, tried various task killer apps ( juice defence, advance task killer, 2x battery etc...)
i can't make it for 2days for normal use. the max i get is 1day and 5 hours.
on about 4 hours screen time. (my wifi always off when not in use, 5-10% brightness, 3G off only use gsm).
can any one also tell me why Gnote has 2500mah battery compare others, great on talk time and video play back, but when web browsing it only last about 3 hours ???

by the way, i'm on stock rom 2.3.6
I think that is pretty good I'm on GB screen time 1h 1m and at 13 h 14 m and don't get to 2 days as I'm always checking twitter and Facebook and compared to my S2 I'm more than happy.
The phone is not supposed to sit there doing nothing and if you get more than day with several calls, web surfing etc all is good.
The web browser prob is not that we'll optimized and if it's loading lots of pics and flash it will chew battery life.
Get rid of things like juice defender they are battery hogs and ruin the note experience.
If you want battery life on GB see checkrom or other roms if you want the candy and less battery life look at ICS roms.
I'm in no hurry to go to ICS I went through that with the S2 if you want the look get Go Launcher.
its weird how you only last for 3 hours.. (hehe)
anyway, my battery lasted me for 6 hours before i flashed to custom roms. Maybe try a rom out there like stunner which is said to have good battery life

i am planning to buy HTC DHD in a day or two......
all my friends say the battery is poor and blah... blah..
but i like the design, features, etc...
is the Battery really very poor and is there any other trouble in that mobile!!
There are roms that could help you out. They can increase your DHD's battery life If you are willing to root your phone...
I most admit... With normal ROM, the battery really suck.
I haven't tried to root and put a custom ROM on yet, but only heard good things about it!
hey dude the battery usage depends on how u use ur phone
btw, i m also buying DHD on 17th very excited for my first Android
The battery is no worse than any other HTC, infact the battery is slightly better on my DHD than my classic desire.

I've got a standard DHD, not rooted and no custom roms and I have no problem with the battery. I can get more than 24 hours out of a single charge and that is with what I would consider heavy use.
Echoing what has already been said, yes the battery life can be quite poor. My phone will last for a "day" out of the house, by which i mean ~8am-6pm, but will be at ~20% when i get home, so will need charging.
That said, the rest of the features more than make up for that in my opinion
If you manage your data and what you actually use your phone for then you can get lots of time out of your dhd, if you slam your phone by downloading loads and streaming all kinds of videos to it and using gps on maps constantly then yea it'll go, but for the size of the battery and what the phone can do i'm amazed it lasts as long as it does.
Right now I'm at 11h and 39m with 56% left. This is with 3g on. Facebook and twitter every 30 min but its set to automatically update. Surfing, Texting, and a few calls were made as well.
Replace the stock ROM with one of the ROMs available here. I personally use LeeDroid 2.3.4 Beta 4 with an updated Radio. And I am very happy with it. It has given me a better battery life as well as removal of those useless HTC apps is a bonus. I still use sense which adds a lot of frills to stock android. Also look into the battery threads where there are ideas on what to do to optimize battery usage.
If you are getting your first smartphone you'll probably be disappointed in terms of battery. They are like little laptops and you know how much their batteries drain out. It's not that bad, but it's completly different than a normal phone.
You can drain the battery in 4 hours with very heavy usage, with semi-heavy it'll last for ~8 hours. With my use I get about 24 hours. I get up in the morning (15mins Wifi), go to school 15mins Angry Birds, 20 mins or more wifi, come home and wifi + play for 20 mins. Calls 5mins. Go to sleep phone on standby. Next day the same and after school I'll charge and it'll be at 5%. This is very light use.
I'm using Android Revolution, but I'm getting worse battery than with stock because I flashed a bad radio for Finland.
Other faults, I've only found one.
First: The speaker, it's pretty bad. Sometimes if you are in a noisy place you might even miss a call because of the silent speaker. Want to listen to music or watch youtube videos using the phone's speaker? That'll be hard...
I had the same problem with the ROM Cyanogen CM7.
Consumption of the battery far too high.
You should know that the HTC rom with sense use a proprietary driver and less greedy.
For other's rom's hacking in the kernel.
I returned on a rom with sense, Leedroid 2.3.4, I' have never eaten my battery so little.
For Rom's nosense, I wait that problems are solved

I'll second that. Mine is the same too.
Given the Pros of the device I will not mind the battery life. Its ok-ish.
I am on stock ROM and I kinda have better battery then when I was on Revolution HD. It gets better after a week usage and after a simple calibration. I get between 24 and 36 hours of medium usage and 3g and autosync aways on. I think its pretty great for this beast!

I wanted to start a new thread comparing which GB roms have the best battery life....
I'm running CM7 and battery life isn't that great.

^THANKS^^ battery life on Simply honey 3.8 was pretty good....
This thread is a great idea, but let's put some numbers down rather then, "I get really good battery life!"
CM7: I get about 13 - 15 hours with minimal use on edge network.
Minimal use for me is about 2 or 3 phone calls about 30 seconds to a minute each. Less then ten text messages, very little to no web surfing. Check weather, look at news headlines.
Well, i have only tried CM7 and MIUI, wich is CM7 based, and to be honest, battery life is the reason that i came back to Froyo...just terrible batery life...i can't be charging my phone every 5-6 hours. On Froyo im using Super DragonModz on Project V, and i havent charged my phone in two days, and still its @ 25%...average/min use. Until GB gets good battery life, i might not be using another GB rom as a daily driver...
My battery just went down 2% on a 40 second phone call with my lady. Simply honey. It drains bad. This is my 4th cycle.

thats odd...have you tried doing a battery calibration....
anyways i get 10 hours on Revolution rom 2.0 with moderate use
moderate use -check xda couple times ,on h network always with background data ,some texting,3-4 30 second calls and ocing to 1.2ghz
Yea. I calibrated. I thought it was just a bad flash but after multiple flashes I had the same result.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Blitzkrieg 18 to 20hrs moderate use 3-4 hrs screen time one.
Pretty good if u ask me.
Screenie attached 30% batt left. Calibrated two days ago.
With every type of battery caliberation it takes a few cycles of charges for it to actually work. I use sgs tools and apply script and that deletes battery bin files. But doing that is not gonna take effect right away i hope u guys know that.
Im on cm7 and my battery usage is better then i expected. With me using either google music or Audio galaxy streaming for a 8 hour workshift and texting and websurfing during a lunchbreak and when that shift is done i still have about 20-to 30 % left sometimes as high as 40% But if im not streaming music and just doing normal things like playing cut the rope and web surfing and emailing, texing etc i can go on all day with out a charge. So maybe u guys have a bad battery???
Simply honey 3.8 was eating up 3-4% per hour just idling and much more when actually bring used. Back to Trigger.

simply honey 3.8 has really good battery life i get 19 hours moderate use with kb5 modem and OC'ed to 1.2 ghz
On Revolution Rom, I can get 16-17 hours of heavy use, which is flashing a new build almost every hour, going crazy on the battery life testing. But people have reported about 24 hours of battery with moderate use.
Asgard 3.0 and 3.1 Both are giving me 13-15 hours with moderate use gaming (my kid 45min-1 hour) internet use, tweeting, email and moderate to heavy phone use (20-40 calls per day) and 1 hour of tunein radio.
I got an average of 15 hours on Blitzkreig with 15-20 short (under 3 minute ) calls, 35-40 texts and an hour or so surfing.... plus a little gaming. I am at 5 hours on Asgard 3.1 and 78% battery.

I am running the Revolution Rom RC1 also and I'm getting about the same battery life. It's about the best that I have gotten on my phone, Bionix Final 2.1 aside. Great job, keep up the good work Ali.
Revolution ROM's battery life is pretty good.
Can't compare with others since I've just started flashing GB roms now (I had tried MIUI before but back then the battery sucked so much it doesnt even count)
thanks for starting this thread, it was just what i was looking for.
i used CM7 awhile ago and the battery life was pretty terrible so i switched back to froyo. so now i was looking around again for reports of battery life now after a couple months of waiting, and looks like its still pretty bad. i guess im still sticking with froyo.
but hey i still appreciate all the work the devs do to bring GB to the vibrant
with all the MINIMUM use or HEAVY use
can you guys post the screen on time with it to shows how heavy/ minimum you use....
I've been using Blitzkrieg for a week or so and at first it seemed really good but the last few days it has been draining fast for some reason. I also have had it reboot a couple of times while on the phone the last 2 days. I'm not sure if it's related....
Well I decide to start this thread for us, to have a guide about wich ROM are we using and the battery average drain. Feel free to post you battery screenshots, and of course your information.
ROM
Average time
Percentage
Any tweaks.
Thanks!! Lets build some usefull information.
Hi,
I can only report bat usage on two ROM's since only used two till now.
JELLYTIME by Randomblame
Average time: about 13 hours
Wifi constantly on, mobile data also, average calls time between 3-4 hours, average of 1 hour of internet browsing, no gaming at all
Although it is a very good ROM, for me battery up time was a half that has with a stock ROM. It drains about 4-5 % per hour on standby
Any tweaks: No tweaks
CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies / M-Series by Mustaavalkosta
Average time: about 20 hours
Wifi constantly on, mobile data also, average calls time between 3-4 hours, average of 1 hour of internet browsing, no gaming at all
Battery time for this ROM is superb, I think it's a far better than a stock ROM. If I don't use phone much it can go 24+ hours on standby (Actuly I'm planing to do little experiment, to see how much will last on stand by only)
Any tweaks: No tweaks
Sorry I don't have screenshots
P.S. I think you should change thread title, since this is comparison between ROM's it's not guide for anything
If you guys are going to do this, it may be good to set more factors in. I.e.: age of battery, if on data, reception strenght and so forth.

Ok I 've got one of those 2450 mAh Gold battery's for my desire HD not sure if its the real thing or that high as it was only £7 on ebay but its better than my stock battery for sure.
I'm running AOKP 9/13 build with Sync on, Gmail push, some SMS ,Maps, internet, calls and running Android pro widgets for facebook and Greenify to kill Maps.
Today I have 57% battery after 9hrs 56m on battery
40 % screen
25% calls
15% standby
11% idle
6 % Maps
3% Android System
2% akmd (what's that?)
I think those stats are great and as good if not better than when I was running Mike's Android revolution HD 7.3.
Really pleased with AOKP very stable and no FC. Only thing is the proximity sensor works but sometimes must switch back on in a call, but I've heard this is a common problem with JB roms. I can live with that and I've heard of a recalibration app that might work.
BTW I use android pro widgets for facebook as I prefer it to facebook app and I'm sure it's better on battery life. Also less is more don't download to many apps, they bleed that battery with background maps and internet.
Hello guys i have been facing absolutely horrible battery life on my s3 i9300 for the past 3 months or so....im currently running archidroid 2 which has absolutely amazing battery life as compared to the other roms that i have used and by that i mean almost all the popular roms that have been made for the s3 i9300 i have changed chargers....i just got a new battery about an hour ago and thats also not helping me at all i lose 2 percent in every 5 mins while doing light tasks like writing this thread and 2 percent in every 3 mins while playing games like clash of clans /fifa 14 ....one of my friends who has an s3 has abolutely amazing battery life he says he loses just 5 percent in one hour of fifa 14 i have disabled sync put my phone on 2g brightness on auto greenified almost all apps...pls help :'(
Yeah, those friends xD. On s3 you can play for about 3-4 hours depending on game. You must take care of screen on time. Look at it on yours friend phone Thats the real time of using your smartphone. Max screen on time that i had was about 5.5h but I was only reading a book. And the 3g browsing eats your battery like a boss I discharged my phone in 2h so thats normal.
Peace

Use BetterBatteryStats to have full control over it. Also, I don't know what apps you have running, but try to use Greenify.
You're running a custom rom, so the culprit can be the kernel too. Use an untouched stock kernel if you want or heavily tweak the custom one you're using.
We can't tell you more than this, because we don't know what you have installed, what you have running and how do you use it.
check out BetterBatteryStats, as already mentioned for the real battery killers.
put down the brightness to a low level
turn off your mobile internet in moments you dont really need it (i.e. during sports). just like you turn off wifi, when you leave your house
Is your phone 2 years old?
Buy a new battery.
try calibrate battery or boeffla kernel
Looks like your battery needs to be recalibrated.
Completely drained your battery & charge it for 8 hours without stopping during the night.
It happened to me too a few weeks ago when I bought a new battery.
Use BBS, greenify & tweaks your kernel settings will definitely help too.
Good luck
I still like the look of the S2
Replace your battery
Either get another Samsung battery - or go big and get ZeroLemon 7000mAh - worth every penny! and you get used to the size & weight pretty fast.
Hello.
So i have had this issue for that past 6 months or so.
I bought my galaxy s8 upon release and the battery was great at the time. After some time of course i can expect the life to degrade. But it is horrible now.
I experimented with custom roms and stuff and it just got worse and worse and i tried a lot of different roms. My expected screen on time was 5 hours which is pretty normal.
After some time i only get like 3 hours a day and the standby drain was awful. Once a time i tried to go with stock rom and i got like 2 hours sot and a standby drain that was crazy. I use greenify to close apps in background.
My usage is normally messenger, facebook some times. Its mostly closed by greenify. I watch youtube browse the web and play simple games that doesnt need a lot of processing power to run.
Is it my battery thats very bad? I also experienced in the cold like 0 degrees celcious that my phone just died when it had like 25 percent.
Should i get battery replacement or whats the best option here? Currently running teamexykings lightrom for my galaxy s8 exynos
Same issue, I replaced the battery when fixing the cracked screen, didnt see any improvement even with the new battery
You can try if you want replacing the battery, but I believe its the software issue.
