Battery life on the early 4.4 builds - One (M7) General

So lots of people were complaining that the new features would take a hit on the battery life on 4.4...
So, I decided to test it, it was phenomenal.... Google now activated all the time with Google reporting on too.
My battery last for a period of 12 hours with a sot of 5+ hours.....Google now is a very handy feature to me and this update just rocked it.....the idle battery time is good too as I was able to get 24 hours of battery with 4 hours sot.
I am thoroughly impressed.
What type of battery life are you guys getting?

I can't wait until we get the official OTA. It should make it even better. I think 4.3 was terrible in terms of battery, just awful. I was constantly charging my phone. I really hope 4.4 helps me out.

Overall 4.3 has been reported worse battery life for a majority of HTC One users (there was a poll) and overall among all phones. Its because they did not properly execute some of the background applications. 4.4 fixes that.

my htc one dev converted to google edition has been great as well on 4.3
I also have a nexus 5 and was easily getting 5 hours SOT for the whole day of use. Same battery too. I cant wait for 4.4 GE for the one though. I hope it comes with ART as it was really good on the nexus 5. Not holding my breath tho as the nexus 4 / 7 dont have it.

You're one out of hundreds of thousands of users. I don't get why you're so adamant in refusing to believe anything that's different from what you have experienced. I could get amazing battery life from 4.3 too, if i turned off every single damn thing and used it as if it was a dumb phone. Battery life for me has been ****tier compared to 4.2.2 as well.

because i can and because i normally pulls 16-20 hours on a charge with 4.3 with everything turned off and normal use and others do the same thing
99% of the time if a user is getting crappy battery life its dude to wake locks that is normally caused by the user that installed an app that is not playing well and wanting to sleep ..
hey all im saying is the majority of the people i know have GREAT battery life with 4.3

Lol 4.3 IS wakelock city, as much as you refuse to believe so. With the exact same apps, on 4.2.2 i use to get about 2% usage overnight. Now? I'm lucky if I wake up with 85% down from 100%. So while yes I can pull 16 - 20 hours with 4.3, its a far cry from what I use to get on 4.2.2.
It really depends on what you define as "great" battery life. I'd consider 2 days + of usage and 4 hours SOT to be great. 16 - 20 hours is just ok.

I agree about 4.3 + sense 5.5 being bad for battery , altough i do get better deep sleep with 4.3 the overall screen time usage is worse !
Here examples from my experience:
4.2.2 = Average 6/7 screen time no matter what i do ( no gaming ) , 4.2.2 gaming from 100 to 10% a8 = 3:30 / 3:50 average
4.3 + sense 5 = average 6-7:20 hrs screen time + much much better deep sleep + better temperatures . average gaming 3:50 / 4:20 A8
4.3 + sense 5.5 = average 5:30 / 6hrs TOPS screen time , temperatures MUCH worse , gaming = 3:15 / 3:30 TOPS a8 , deep sleep worse then 4.3 + sense 5.
I think what reduced our battery life a bit is sense 5.5 not 4.3 as much as sense , i've tried MANY roms , MANY kernels and the stats i wrote above are from STOCK kernel + custom roms.
I deffinetely in overall 4.3 + sense 5.5 has reduced our battery for about 20% then it was.
Too bad sense 5.5 is so much better then sense 5 i just can't go back to 4.3 + sense 5 which was without doubt king of battery life. Hopefully we will gain back our lost 20% and even better perhaps GAIN some battery with 4.4.
On the other hand GPE 4.3 deffinetely is better then 4.2.2 gpe. Tho i can't give up from sense so worthless to me.
@CheesyNutz
I lose average 0/1% in deep sleep of 10hrs , but the deep sleep / wakelocks aren't issue , actuall usage consumes more then before.
If you guys need proof about my stats i could post screen shoots.
Edit , here screenshots see for yourself :
1st 7 pics are from 4.2.2 (1/7 pics )
2nd 7 pics are from 4.3 + sense 5.0 (7/14 pics)
Last 6 pics are from 4.3 + sense 5.5 ( 14/20 pics )
Imagine my frustration i've lost from 1 up to 1:30 hrs screen time, you can clearly see i've always had insane deep sleep so it's not that.

There is no sign of Android System or Google Services. I'm happy.

Any further infos guys?
Like what firmware/baseband you using?
Because i really think about to flash 4.4 as my daily driver (currently stucking with 4.3 GPE rom).

Best Stock rom for battery life

Hey guys i want to switch to stock rom ..! so just want to ask which stock rom will give me good battery life or any stock rom+ custom kernel combination will give me a good battery life ..
Thnx
I'm getting great results on OMKJ4. Much better than anything else I've used on the S2. If I push my luck I can get 2 days plus the night between (not 2 full days though but I suspect the 2000mah battery would let me if I could actually lay my hands on one).
(There are a lot of issues though in flashing OM builds on anything but an SC-02C)

thank you too .!! also dont u use any custom kernels for better battery results ?
Well best battery life depends on how you are using the phone. Display On time should be the figure to find out which one is performing best.
I am on KI8 atm, Display On time is very good, around 5.5 h, but it drains battery a lot compare to old KF3, overnight drain was 2/3% on KF3, but now it is 10+%! Now I'll use it for another day and see if it drains the same again then I'll be moving to KI3, which I previously used and loved.
Maybe only me but I've had good luck with the ROMs which end up with 3

20 hours isn't bad. Bear in mind this is a smart phone with big screen & cloud (almost continuos internet connection). Wifi is about 30-50 min, 5-12 sms, 30-40 min of calls (via BT headset), 4 emails (updates with push or fetch in 30 min interval), RSS,weather (every 3 hours). Market, Samsung apps browsing - 40-50 min. GTalk 24/7 ,eBay - 15-20 min.Twitter every 30 min, FB-every 4 hours (not a big fan of it ). Games up to 2 hours. Few widgets (weather, email,clock,calendar). I am on Vodafone now, and almost always on H+, so that also affects battery life. Some say that on 2G network you get better battery life, but my experience is opposite.
And ROM yes, full stock ( I mean no custom kernels etc).
Ki8...54 hours...medium user.

[POLL]Battery life in JB is.....

Please post your battery life experience in here. I am doing this because if Samsung does come here from time to time, let us show them how many users experience poor battery life with the JB rom. Also, let us ignore wipes or full resets since people may receive this update via OTA or Kies and they should not have to do a full wipe or reset to get a good battery life.
No doubt it is better.
Why make another thread....

I've tried litterally every JB leak so far inckuding the official ones.
I got sick of having bad battery life on all of them, no matter if I wiped etc.
So two weeks ago I put the very first stock rom on my phone (dated may!), and let it run auto updates from my carrier.
It ended up on LH3 and the battery life is night and day better. I'm getting over 24 hours easy now with what I consider to be decent use -phone calls, lots of facebook, whatsapp, browsing and at least 90 mins of mp3 playback each day. I leave wifi, 3g and BT one the whole time and it always gets over 24 hours.
Today though I flashed the newest UK Hutchison 3G official JB as it's my carrier. I'm going to see how this goes but I'm not expecting it to keep up with ICS. I'll be very happy if it does though.
It was terrible on JB for me (less than 24 hours of moderate use).
I disabled google now and installed juice defender and I get at least 2 days and maybe 3 if lighter use.
Swedish ROM is by far the best in battery life.

[Q] Battery life...?

Third day with my Nexus 4, and battery life seems to be just like the old days of my gnex ? I am really surprised. Tried different rom and kernel combinations. My battery is draining fast. Cant blame any app since i have been running the same apps on my gnex as well as my sold s3, experienced an impressive battery life on the s3. Even tho the s3 and the N4 has the same 2100 battery ? Any explanation? Ty.

Wait until new phone syndrome wears off.
You've only had your phone 3 days, and your still flashing new roms, which sucks up a lot of juice. Let it settle for a few days.
Also a 4.7" display sucks down battery. My phone last all day no problem now that I've had it for a few weeks. First week it wouldn't last 6 hours... because I used it for 6 hours screen on constantly.

Post your battery life here!

I've been noticing and reading many many posts regarding how bad or optimized our battery life is.
I had this phone little more than 24 hours now. And I feel like it hasn't fully when through the battery cycle. Thus killing my phone in less than 10 hours. This is with very light usage as well!
I've also turned off gps and wifi.
I have turned on stamina, along with various other battery saving features.
Now I am coming from galaxy s3, note 2, and iPhone 5. (my iPhone has this same issue and cleared when I've started using the phone and going through few charging cycles)
I just wanna make sure that our phone isn't plagued by the software, hence this phone is only available via t-mobile or Sony (unlocked as well).
Please post your battery life photos.
Including rooted or not.
Also post which rom / kernel you are using.
Mine: stock from t-mobile. And not rooted.

Yup you have a lot of wake events, I had this problem too. I reseted, reflashed firmware multiple times and still experienced problems until I sent it to Sony and somehow now there is barely any awake entries at all. Only screen entries appear (blue line on screen) and no lines on awake.. I do still get *backup* wakelocks and some qcom_RX_wake lock though

The phone was horrible initially and on 4.1.2 then after the 4.2.2 update it has been brilliant. It lasts me just over 24hrs on normal us with screen time between 5-6hrs. I'm very pleased as by 17h00 it is normally at around 55%. So it lasts me a full active day.

The media server keep draining my battery...
But when I switch my sd card to a empty one or just remove it the media server nolonger drain my battery.
So I only keep a small amont of pic and musics in my sdcard and that makes the battery can last more the one day
the battery life was improved from 4.1 to 4.2 . That being said, the battery life is still much to be desired.

Tbh I was really worried about the battery life on the Z, I have had my phone nearly 24hours and I am not concerned by bad battery life so far. The battery seems very good actually, its no S4 but the S4 does have a bigger battery and uses a AMOLED screen. Iirc LCD/TFT use more battery or maybe I have got that wrong.

I'll assume you are not a heavy user of some sorts? The frequency of usage i mean.
I'm not sure about the screen part though but it does make sense if AMOLEDs screen uses less battery than LCD/TFT screens since they actually off the black pixels.

Don't we already have a Thread and lots of results for Battery life here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185362
Stock rooted 4.3. No undervolt, no nothing, just stamina mode on. This is the best update I ever had on a phone in terms of battery life.

New Nexus 10 - out the box battery issues - BOO!

So I took the plunge after growing tired of waiting for the Nexus 2.
There's no doubt this is a super slick Android experience (I've come from a modded Advent Vega)
Gorgeous screen (although I have bottom right hand corner light bleed, but not too bad) and pretty swift.
The battery problem started right away and I'm wondering if any one else has experienced this.
I started the updates to 4.4.2 right away, this took about 10 minutes and the battery drained from 100 - 80%.
The battery dropped 3-4% every 10 minutes - in effect a 5 hr battery life.
When it got down to 50%, BAM! It instantly dropped to ZERO.
Seriously underwhelmed....

Hi,
How is battery life after it shut down and you recharging? Maybe it was a post installation bad battery life... Also be sure to have the screen brightness low. Some other user had the same 50% issue, I don't remember what he did to fix or if he fixed, you may want to be interested into reading his thread,
Please, check the battery life after you charge it and if it's still THAT bad, I'd recommend calling a Service Center.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
OK I take back what I said about being underwhelmed. Battery life could be better but the experience is superslick. Coming from a Vega, holy moly...
I recently bought an iPhone and regretting it. Apple have a lot of catching up to do. Google are nailing it, from the OS to the ecosystem, and the nexus is a dream to use.
So I recharged to full
Screen set to auto and around 40%
Blue tooth off
Screen hasn't slept at all
Activities:
3 hrs Downloading apps and surfing
1 hr video streaming
1.5 hrs video playback (non HD)
10 mins of need for speed
Result:
6 hrs with 5% remaining = 6 hrs 15m
Not terrible, but not great given the charging time. Having read a lot about the battery life I saw 7hrs video playback with screen on full so I'm a bit dissapointed. The bleed is minor and I can live with it.
Opinions and experiences welcomed, does this feel right?

Hi,
Glad my answer could make you see a little more further . My experience is with it running in an even lower screen brightness, screen sleeping some times and also playing some heavy games or surfing the web. Aldo I have Fedora 19 running background.
That gives me 8-9h of battery life, also temperature here is more or less 28-30°C . Temperature influences a lot battery .

One more thing - ”currents” app is working in background all the time. Disable auto sync and battery life should improve a bit.

Also turn of NFC if you won't use it, and don't keep the location setting on high accuracy, device only mode saves lots of battery

Do a stock flash 4.4.2 it fixes issues which arise when you do a 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 OTA upgrade. I never knew the reason why and it might be just do a reset to factory within settings might be just as good, but I just did a flash stock. My suspicion is this relates to formatting the filesystem with newer software may make it faster for I/O, because I found file-copying faster and less CPU in 4.4.2.

I've got the same problem. Out of the box, new Nexus 10, battery drop from 50 to 0.

I hope this will be fixed after a full charge.

Is this issue got fixed after full recharge? I got the same issue for the out of box piece.
For 10 mins of browsing it is consuming 3% of the battery. Is this normal?
I left my tablet in sleeping mode and came to work. Need to see what happens once I back home.

Also it took 6+ Hours to get fully charged. Is it common?

The battery life on n10 is just average, the only thing that i don't like about this tablet.
Get a pogo charging cable, charges much faster than the stock cable

My nexus 10, darined all of a sudden from 56% to 0. Is that OK. Do I need to ask for a replacement?
Thanks in advance.
My N10 which is 13 months old had this issue last night.
Used it for a while after it was fully charged. Turned it off at 90% but it was completely dead today, had to charge it for a while to get it to start.
Anyone send one of these back bought from Google Playstore in the UK?
