Post Your Battery Stats

This is thread is to post the battery life that you are getting on the phone. Please post your screen shots from the power menu. This is not a contest of who can get the longest screen time. It is purely to show what kind of battery life you get and some tips and tricks to get a little more juice.

How do I take a screenshot? Brightness 10 to 30 %. So far 10% mobile, 60% wifi browsing, the rest in standby with mobile off, was waiting for a new sim. 22 hours and 10% battery life left. continuous wifi browsing looks like at least a solid 10 hours judging by the way the graph drops. Very impressed. My htc Sensation dies after 4 hours.

I don't know guys I'm not that happy with my battery life, it seems like the battery life with my note 1 was way better, almost one and a half times better, is it everyone out there or do I have a faulty device, other than the battery life, I've fallen in love with a note all over again

Mine is just nuts!!!! In a very good way!
My s3 gives me 5 hours screen time, I got so far 50% battery left and have done 4.5 hours screen green time already!!?!?!!!??? Wow!
Someone show me how to put images up here

I think battery life is really impressive. I got a little over 10 hours of screen time out of it.
With normal everyday usage I might get throught 2 days without charging or one day with a good reserve.

People who are getting bad battery life probably forgot to charge the phone to 100% before the first boot, which harm significantly the poor battery.

Not true, it doesn't matter at all. Just use it, batteries nowadays are smart batteries and they will calibrate them selves.

If it doesn't matter at all why did samsung bother writing a warning in the quick start guide ? (Yeah some of us do read those things)

This is correct only for old batteries...

Looks pretty good! I was worried about battery life because of the large screen size of the device, but it looks like the large battery has made a suitable buffer for this :]
Thanks for the pics everyone!

This is about correct! Have used one hours screen time and have 90% left

Can, t post screen shots this evening but I'll post what I know of my battery life so far:
From a full charge I have had 3 hours 47 minutes of continuous screen time and 61% battery left. I've had quite a lot of network activity installing 144 appps, restoring data, answeing email, and reading here in this forum. I'd also been playing with the camera and watching recorded files. It's looking like I could see close to 10 hours of this sort of use. Considering my normal use for my phone and/or tablet I'll be able to go 2 days on a full charge. With a charger on hand at bedtime I'm not likely to ever run the battery down past 30% (rough estimate).
Color me impressed!

Here is my Note II battery usage. which I posted in another post already
First day
Out of box without charging at all. Used it from around 49% to 3% for around 5 hours+ Screenshot attached.
View attachment 1372082 View attachment 1372083
Second day
The night before charged from 3% to 100% with my Note II power on for around 9 hours. Then unplugged and heavy using from 100% to 10%, it stayed more than 14 hours. I am saying this is pretty good juice. Screenshot attached.

[Q] Nexus 4 Battery Life [vs S4]

Hey Guys,
Firstly i apologize if this has been asked before but here is my question:
Currently i had the chance to use the Galaxy S IV i9500 and after having using it for a month i found that the battery life is pretty good. In my usage of surfing the web, youtube, playing a few games i usually get a day of standby time with around 3-4 hrs of screen on time. Sometimes the charge carries over to the second day.
However the Galaxy S IV is not mine and i am looking to buy the nexus 4. As compared to the S4 i know the major differences are the screens, batteries and cameras. I know the screen has some great colour calibration tweaks which make colors pop and the sharpness is pretty good on nexus 4 screen so i am not worried. The camera is not as good as on the S4 but i can live with that since i can get the job done with my primary camera. However i am mainly concerned about the battery life. I want to know if on my current usage pattern (as mentioned above) will the nexus 4 last me through a day with 3-4 hrs screen on time? Also i have found that using PA ROM with FRANCO kernel doubles the battery life? Is this true and if so how does battery life with the setup compare to stock ROM and kernel?
Once again i appologize if this has already been answered somewhere and thanks to everyone for help.
Cheers

Now I'm using CM10.1 RC5 + franco.kernel r151 and i get 3 hours of screen on using 3g and 5+ hours using WiFi, but it really depends on your usage.

With stock rom u will have very poor battery life. My Galaxy s3 lasted 1hour more screen time than my Nexus. and The Galaxy S4 is even better than GS3.
With Franco + UV u should have some decent Battery Life but not as Good as Galaxy S3 or S4

This should've been posted in the Q&A thread. Anyhow, after all i've heard and read i was pretty surprised by the battery life on the nexus 4 when i actually got it. I get between 4-5h of screen-on on a 1 day uptime. I'm using rooted stock rom and stock kernel. I have autosync for gmail, i use apps like whatsapp..basically the only thing that i have turned off and that i don't use is google now, oh, and i don't play 3d games on my phone. I think you should be able to get 4h screen-on on a charge using stock rom without a problem.

I plan on using PA with FRANCO. you think it could be on par with s4 battery life?as a side note are there any extended battery cases for nexus 4 which can increase battery life?

Ya that's the type of things i read around too, and was expecting horrible results, and actually was quite surprised.
I'm not sure if it's related to me being in a good reception area or something.. One thing i forgot to mention was i don't use facebook , but i really use my nexus 4 for everything else, browsing, gmail, reading xda, i'm a heavy music listener, whatsapp, flipboard, i also take a lot of pictures, especially photospheres..
In comparison, a friend of mine uses facebook, has everything always running, google now etc.. , gps always ON, all apps can access location... He also plays real racing 3 often, and he gets 3-3.5h screen-on on a 15-20h uptime.
One tip i can give you, i use greenify for most of the apps that don't need push services, or that i don't use frequently, and during standby, for example 6h of sleep, i lose 2-3% of battery.

If tht is on stock rom it seems to be pretty good? also are you on 3g entire time and what is your main usage? thanks for the info!

I am stock rooted with stock kernel. I get 4-5hrs sot while on cellular data and 5-6hrs on wifi. What each individual gets is gonna be subjective to location while on a cellular network. A weaker signal will eat more battery and may just give you 3-4hrs sot.

I am not sure unless someone here has both phones and stock if they can accurately answer your question. Also you are comparing a 2100mah battery N4 to a 2600mah battery in the S4. As a N4 owner I have had to say that after tweaking for a couple months I have found a nice setup giving me 3-4 hrs screen on time. If battery life is most important to you I would go with a phone with a removable battery.

Thnx mate. Appreciated for the help!

if I stick with like casual texting and phone calls, and wifi or 3G, I get really decent battery life 4.5 hours usually, but I use the phone to listen to music and well that just keeps it awake for such a long time meaning i get like 2 hours.

Nexus 4 Stock 4.3
Usage: Email and Hangout over wifi, phone calls and few camera clicks.

HTC One 4.2.2 Update UK

I just updated my HTC One yesterday and the battery drain is ridiculous. I took my phone off the charger at 6am today and watched some of a film listened to a bit of music and sent texts as usual and phone went dead at 2pm !
Usually it would last till 6pm with heavy usage but since the update the battery life has deteriorated.
My phone is less than a week old and overall really impressed with it till now.
Anyone else having this issue and can suggest a fix?

You may need to give it a few days and a couple of battery cycles to settle itself down again. Try installing Greenify to 'hibernate' running services in the background and BetterBatteryStats to monitor kernel wakelocks and what's using your battery in general..

Agreed. Just downloaded green power premium from play store and juice defender ulitimate lets see if they can help. I like to have auto brightness a d to use my phone so this update is bugging me (((
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

For me the 4.2.2 update has improved my battery life.
Everything completely stock, get about 35-40 hours battery life (100% to ~1%) with 2 to 4 hours on screen time. Obviously depending on what you do with that screen on, will dictate just how much battery life you use. But for me, usually browsing, reading, watching YouTube. Dont really game or do anything massively intensive.
Also everything on stock normal, (locations, gps, auto sync, blinkfeed, etc).
As I said depending on what you do with your phone, your battery life with on screen time will increase/decrease. Also whether you use it as a smartphone (all sync etc on) or reduce it to a phone (2g, power saver, screen dimmed, etc) makes a huge difference.

I'm working in dark rooms so why keeping display brightness not at minimum? And on most places I only got 2G network, so why not forcing the phone to only use this?
And sync... Yeah... I don't need the weather to be updated every hour... Or news... They're appearing on my BlinkFeed anyways...
And I'm using my phone as a smartphone as well Over 6 hours screen on time is mostly Facebook, WhatsApp and browsing.

Why can't android manage battery like windows does or even better htc work with Google and sort the issue.
All I know is before this update I had ok battery life now I have extremely poor life. I would suggest it's the update.

100% agree with you..now the phone charges quicker but it discharges quicker too.. yes i did hard reset, autosync etc etc.. no change of my usage patterns, i now get half the usage..
dont know why htc just didnt go straight to 4.3 as this significantly improves battery life..4.2 acrosss the board was a bad update.

Anyone tried the Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru app?

Note 12.2 Battery Life

Hi,
Now that the Note Pro 12.2 has been out for a while now, what kind of battery life are you getting?
How much Stand By and On-Screen Time are you getting?

charge time
I would also appreciate if people can share how long it's taking to charge from 0-100%. Thanks.

I used mine quite heavily on Friday night and Saturday. Probably 8 hours in total. I still had 65% battery left. I did root and removed a lot of bloatware.

From my usage so far, looks to be about 6-8hrs screen on time.

This isn't very specific I realize but battery life seems considerably better than my old nexus 10 and recharging is also much faster.

What about charging it?
It is time for my old original LTE tab to go.I want an LTE, but like my old tab, Verizon is picking it up, and development on the verizon version might be sparse.My factory Tab, will only charge with a certain voltage. The Devs wrote a script to override that on it.
Does it charge in the car? If so, what amp is it? Do you have to have special charger or will it work on one of the 2 amp chargers, say for an Iphone? Have you tried it?
Thanks

standby is fantastic; as is video watching (dont' have exact total time but I think 3 hours of video watching used approx 30% battery).
-
however this game I was playing, symphony of eternity, really kills the battery. 2 hours used approx 45% (wish I had exact figures). Mind you the game has gotten old but I want to finish it (I play a few hours on trips - so started it approx 1.5 years ago; but finally near the end).

I think it may be better to specify which version of the device you are using before mentioning the hours. I think I heard that the LTE version has better battery management?

So far very impressed with the battery

I have the sm-p905 LTE version and i’m very impressed with the battery life so far.
on time screen that the tablet actually was on is right now 9h59m and battery still on 20%
watched in the 10 hours about 4h15m video's
transferred about 6 gb files with wifi direct
transferred about 19 gb files from my portable hd to the tablet with usb 3.0
then browsing, facebook, chat, ....
i must say all the apps i don’t use i have turned out permently.
4G was always turned on during the session, total time off the ac now is 1 day an 1h
my device isn’t rooted.
when the battery is completely empty, i’ll charge it and let you know how long it takes. First time i charge it .

I'm also very impressed with my Note 12.2 battery... I would say it can do 1 hour screen time per 10% of battery. I replace my third generation Ipad with this tablet... I the only thing iPad is better right now is battery life on stanby... Apple has done an excellent job on this side because it's way better on the iPad, even if I keep the sync on all the time for emails, contacts, calendar and other apps.
On the Notepro 12.2, if I keep the wifi off while on stanby, it's good (not excellent)... but if I keep it on all the time, I have to charge my tablet every 2 days. While it's off, I can get 3-4 easily when my regular weekday usage.
I've watched a complete film of 2 hours film on my tablet a few days ago... streamed from my Plex server to the Android Plex app on the tablet... and I lost around 20% of battery only... which is excellent.
By the way, I have the wifi only version (Exynos CPU).

I'm also very impressed with my Note 12.2 battery... I would say it can do 1 hour screen time per 10% of battery. I replace my third generation Ipad with this tablet... I the only thing iPad is better right now is battery life on stanby... Apple has done an excellent job on this side because it's way better on the iPad, even if I keep the sync on all the time for emails, contacts, calendar and other apps.
On the Notepro 12.2, if I keep the wifi off while on stanby, it's good (not excellent)... but if I keep it on all the time, I have to charge my tablet every 2 days. While it's off, I can get 3-4 easily when my regular weekday usage.
I've watched a complete film of 2 hours film on my tablet a few days ago... streamed from my Plex server to the Android Plex app on the tablet... and I lost around 20% of battery only... which is excellent.
By the way, I have the wifi only version (Exynos CPU).

That's a bit odd. I am not using mine much at all at the moment, maybe half an hour a day and it's now on day 8 and still 30% left. My Wi-Fi is off when in sleep and I don't turn it off when not using it.

Hi. Sorry only just got this. Annoyingly I put it on charge overnight as I'm back to work today. Battery stats have reset. No idea what the screen time was.

Why music app takes too much battery even when not used. ..I have not even played music for one time but it has eaten up 8 % battery..? Is there any way to stop it from running in the background?

The battery is good, if I dont use it, I just turn off to save battery. Otherwise i need to charge everyday (wifi on, sync, games, web, no sleep mode), now I can use few days in a row on single charge, depends on what I'm doing on it. This is not a smartphone/cellphone, so he dont need to be everytime on

Battery Life Discussion

Discuss your battery life here.

Anyone have any early reports on battery life

A user on Reddit has one and did a first rundown.
7.5 hrs sot on overall 8.5 hrs on a first charge.
Still to be seen how the standby is, but all reports look for it to be better than expected which is good news. Also he doesn't notice any ram issues. First impressions are good.

Damn fine if you ask me. Better than my note 4. I'm surprised as hell. I never believe the improved efficiency and optimization stuff but somethings working.

I personally am not that worried about run time on the battery. My Note 4 has great battery life for me and I would expect the Note5 to be good. Quick charge really makes a big difference and the recent introduction of quick charge external battery packs means that I will not have to really worry that much about battery life. Others may have a different point of view.
One thing that really worries me is the internal battery. I have owned the Note2, 3, and 4. I have had to replace the battery on both the Note2 and Note3 when the original battery failed. I give my old phones to other family members and sooner or later the batteries always start to fail. On the Note3 it took a little over a year and a half. Probably about the same time period on the Note2. If you go to youtube you can watch some videos that show you how to replace the battery on the S6. It looks like a miserable project. Nothing I want to worry about. Finally, I am personally offended by the throw away connotations of a smartphone with an internal battery. With a glass screen protector and a case, these phones can still be like new after a year or so of use. It just seems wrong to build a product that you know is going to fail for as trivial a reason as the battery.

Wow. Great news.
What apps do you have installed/downloaded and which ones did you disable? Do you have all the Spen stuff enabled?
Can you show a screenshot of your apps battery usage?

That's actually amazing, with just a 3000mah battery. See, don't judge by the specs people

That's probably just somebody who watched a movie for 2 hours.
I can watch 10+ hours of movies on my Note 4 with a charge.

I charged overnight so it's reset. I can post that this evening
All the spen stuff is on. I did disable all the AT&T apps like I always do. I haven't had location on. No Power saver. Basically Web browsing, tapatalk, a couple of you tube videos..etc.

No movies here dude. And you don't have to come in here and defend your note 4. Still have one myself. Just trying to show some battery life stats for people that are considering the 5. If that's not you then please move on.

So overall is your impression that the Note 5 has better battery life than your Note 4 ? That would be impressive.

I'm feeling like it'll at least be as good. Which I was not expecting at all. Right now it's been better but I haven't really left wifi much.

According to the images they posted - They had 8hr 42mins of total battery life
The screen accounted for 24% total battery - Android System 21% etc.. Not sure how screen can be 24% and still be 7hrs of a total 8hr 42 on battery ??
Fantastic if proves to be accurate though.

This kind of results is what you got when you basically just display a black image and do almost nothing.
That's what I get using aldiko (dark theme) to read ebook.

Top picture is the final stats with my note 4 ( which I still have). Bottom is my stats so far with the note 5. I'm averaging significantly better screen time on the 5.

What did you do differently to go from 6h 41m to 8h 20m SoT?

Just used the phone more. You'll see that the standby time went down as the SOT went up. I'm thinking it'll settle in around 22 standby and 6-7 screen on. Which is better then anything I've had for awhile. I have the note 4 and s6 active right now. And had a s6e. This phone will get me a little more then even the active I think.

Question though, could it be your note 4's battery is old?
If they were both brand new then it would be a fair test.
What do you think?

Well I just got my note 4 less than a month ago. I have 24 lines with my business so I've always got upgrades. I by me the latest and pass down my old phones.

Second day by BeginnersTech on twitter with the s6 edge+ (which has an identical battery size to the note 5), not too bad if you ask me.
