I haven't really done anything different, but my battery life in the past few weeks has just gotten better and better.
Right now it's 3pm. I put in a fresh battery at 9pm last night. Batt level: 55%. I was asleep for 7 out of those 18 hours, but I've had wifi and BT on the whole time. I've read and replied to 15 emails, maybe 10 texts, 15 min of calls, surfed the web for 2 hours, played about 30min of games, and had music streaming for 1.5 hrs. I've easily been making it through long work days (8am-8pm) of moderate/heavy use, whereas before I would need to recharge after 6-8 hours.
Anyone else noticing better battery life after the first few weeks? (of course, it might have to do with the fact that I'm playing with it less, but there are days when I play with it constantly and it's still doing better than 12+ hours)
I'm still on the first week with my current vibrant and I have noticed a slight improvement in battery life since I first got it--the fact that my life is pretty consistent day to day (phone-wise) helps me track it. Maybe the hardware and software need to be 'broken in' per-se?

Yeah, it does get better, but 12 hours is not good enough nowadays -- if you go to dinner after work, the battery will be dead before you get home.
This is my biggest gripe about the Galaxy S -- compared to my old iPhone 3Gs the battery life just sucks.
I am hoping that the efficiencies that come with Froyo will squeeze a few more hours and make it usable for a full day.
If Samsung gets off its lazy (or incompetent) butt and upgrades us to Froyo soon, of course.

The question is, what are you not doing? We can all get it to last the long, but this is a smart phone. I cannot afford to treat it like if I was stranded on an island.
Before I get into my post I just wanted to say I'm running stock out of the box with no root/ROM/etc. Just plain ol vanilla Eclair...with the JI5 via Kies.
I'm getting about 32 hours myself. I do use tasker to set up profiles only to turn things on when I want them. Such as sync will only be enabled for specific apps when I run them then off when I close them. GPS is only on when I run Maps/Yelp/any geo-aware app then it turns itself off. Turn on silent mode/vibrate when I'm at the office by recognizing specific cell towers...stuff like that.
I also disabled "Use Wireless Networks" under Location & Security since Google says it will use it even when the phone is off. I don't know why but it's been saving on battery too. I also don't use any task killing app such as ATK since I think the phone should be smart enough to manage the memory by itself.
edit: Oh, I use automatic brightness settings too with manual brightness control on the browser (usually on low-med setting)

Everything enabled except brightness. i turn off wifi and bluetooth when sleeping, and have sync set to once an hour for social contacts and such. For facebook etc i manually update my feed when i want to check on it, or it auto updates every hour.

I'm at a point of consistent battery life of about 13 hours of moderate to heavy use. Been this way since about the middle of August. The longest I've pushed it was close to 21 hours but i'm normally in the 11-12 range.
Glad your phone is leveling out though

Nah it's not any different from when you first bought it, you're just using it less, even though you think you are using it the same.
Trust me, when people buy a new phone, the first few days or couple weeks they can't take their fingers off the phone, and it appears battery sucks. As you get over your new toy phase, you don't play with it as much, and magically you think the battery has grown new cells.
bye.

There are easy ways to take care of this if you really need better battery life. First, call T-Mobile and complain that battery life is shorter than advertised. They'll walk you through a script and send you a free spare battery. Second, get an external battery charger. They're all over ebay for about ten dollars, and most come with generic spare batteries.
I've now got a charger and three batteries, so I can pretty much make it through an entire work week without worrying. (You couldn't do that with a 3GS!)

Are you serious?!
You really like carrying a pocketful of spare batteries?
I have 2 spare batteries, but I pack them only when I travel.
The damned phone should be able to last throughout a full day (meaning 16 or so hours) without having to worry about turning features off or limiting your calls and mail checking).
I never had to even think about the battery with my iPhone 3Gs.

I get nice battery life but I use it too much, then "a day" is from 5am to 10pm, it's just too useful, and when you check usage, it's 75% display.
36 hours would be easy if I limited my screen on-time....while I would like a UV kernel it's likely not helping enough. My display is on lowest, yet I'd love a lower setting.
Aside, the more background services check stuff while screen is off, battery life hours down.
Overall, I am VERY happy with the battery life.

Um, the batteries are pretty small and skinny. Are you wearing pants with no pockets or something? Seriously, the thing can almost fit in the coin pocket of some jeans.

You must be one of the few 3G/3GS users to never worry about battery life. Most of the users I know have (or had) to recharge mid-day, a pain in the butt since the battery is not removable. Your 3GS has a much slower processor/GPU, and a smaller screen with a quarter of the pixels; but even then, google "iphone 3gs battery life" and you'll get page after page of reviewers and users complaining about the abysmal battery life.
(of course, someone here claims that his Vibrant can go 40+ hours, so maybe your iPhone is a similar outlier.)

Its exactly what the problem is. When I flash a new rom I spend 30minutes getting back to the way I like it and my battery suffers from it. When I actually use my phone like its intended to be used I get great battery life.
Are you using any kind of ROMs? I think some ROMs greatly improves battery life.

Dude, I've had one iPhone 2G and two iPhone 3Gs. I also have two Galaxy S variants (international and a Vibrant).
There is no comparison between the iPhone 3Gs and the Galaxy S in terms of battery life. With the same kind of usage, the iPhone 3 Gs would last about 32-37 hours, while the Galaxy S would last about 12-13.
Even the iPhone 2G lasted about 18-20 hours. Now, compared to my previous HTC WM6 and WM6.5 phone, the Galaxy S does have longer battery life, but that's nothing to be so proud of.
The Galaxy's screen is certainly better than the 3Gs's, but the Super AMOLED is supposed to be more efficient than the LCD on the iPhone. Plus, in real world use, the iPhone 3Gs certainly feels smoother than the Galaxy S, even with the lag fix, and scrolling on the iPhone is smooth as butter, while the Galaxy S is choppy.
And it's not just the OS, because the EVO scrolls noticeably smoother than the Galaxy S.
I consistently get 20+ hours out of one charge. I can't really use my phone at work, but during breaks and lunch I'm always getting on it and checking mail/feeds/youtube or whatever and still have about 70% by the time I go home. I usually have more than half by the time I go to bed unless I've been doing some tethering or heavy audio/video streaming.

lol...thats so true...
I'm interested in buying this phone and I the main reason for that is it's battery; So I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience. I currently have the Nexus 4 and I'm far from pleased, I want a phone that can last at least two days on a charge with some basic use (Facebook, Twitter, Internet, any game for 10 minutes, maybe some music for a couple of minutes). Is that possible with the G2?

Probably. The G2's battery life is insane. I get a full day (8am-midnight) with about 30% left over under heavy use. Some people are getting 3-4 days out of light use.
I get between 40-46 hours usually at the minute. Between 5-7 hours screen on time at permanent 60% brightness, and plenty of usage. Don't use facebook app very much at all mind. Lots of email checking, messaging, up to 2 hours of music daily (play music streaming), checking news apps and so on.
I have rooted and deleted/frozen plenty of bloatware, flashed Simple Kernel v5, turned all animations etc off to try and eek out every bit of usage I can though. But honestly, it's an amazing phone, I came from a Nexus 4 too. Some tasteful mods and tweaks and it's even more of a monster.
So long story short after getting two defective Oneplus 2's in a row from Amazon I decided to step away from Oneplus to a more stable and reliable manufacturer.
I've come from a Oneplus 1 before this and I just spent the last three days going over every review of the MXPE. The only issue I have is if I'm making the right decision considering that battery life is pretty average? I'm not going to be using it for gaming, and I wont be using 3G instead of LTE.
Won't say it's bad. The turbo charged enables amazing fast charging times and Android M has surely improved some percentage of the battery. I carry a quick charge 2 enabled car charger too so i don't feel it's bad. i think you will get used to the battery offering of the MXPE.
Hi,
I had the same concerns as you have right now. The Screen of my OnePlus One got a crack, so I had to decide for myself "Do you want another one, or do you want to give an other manufacturer a try". I decided to buy the Moto X Style, which is the Pure in europe and was blown away by the display quality, the sound and the overall performance. And of course, it's as close to stock Android as it can get. The battery was a real letdown after a few hours of "testing" and recharge-cycles. Coming from a OPO, with all the possibilites to tweak and getting very high SOT, I was really really disappointed. But now, I'm getting really used to it and tweaked some settings a bit, to get more out of that battery. Now I'm on 4-5 hours of SOT and, thankfully, can go even further with the Turbo Charger. Of course, the battery could've been a bit larger (as always), but that's not a big issue in my opinion. Give it a chance, play around a little and you will see, that the overall experience prevails. With Marshmallow on the doorstep, you should get even more out of the battery, thanks to the Doze-Feature. There's a thread floating around, where a couple of users are reporting about an increasing battery life.
Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to reply guys. @doree Glad to see someone else coming from the OPO, I was used to getting 6-8 SOT with all the underclocking/volting that we used to do with AK kernel. Guess i'll do a bit more research from users using marshmallow on the X and then make a decision.
I'd say so far my battery life experience has been slightly worse than what I had with my Note 4, which is still pretty good overall. Especially since the update to MM it seems to drain less in standby. Currently have 2 hrs SOT with 38% battery left (and it last came off the charger Saturday morning). Granted, when I'm at home I always have it on Wifi which uses less battery than having it on GSM/LTE. On weekdays when I'm at work (where I don't have wifi) it drains a bit faster. And I also have a long commute which also isn't beneficial to battery life as it's constantly hopping towers during the commute.

I've read a lot different stuff concerning battery on the MXPE - with a handful of users reporting it's not great. But I must say, from my experience, battery life has been amazing. I get between 4 and 6 hours of SOT per charge. And a full charge can easily get me through 48 hours. I've never had battery life this great on a phone before. Right now I'm running stock LP, no tweaks, no nothing. I don't use WiFi, but location is set to high accuracy, and I'm always on LTE. I do have more than adequate cell signal strength which helps, and I run minimal apps. But overall I've been super impressed with battery life. :knock on wood:
Battery life is decent as long as your not playing games with full gpu usage. I get three straight hours of battery playing games. For the days I don't play games, battery life is good as oneplus one. But my old OnePlus takes the cake playing games and gpu usage with heat.. I'm on stock MM rom on mxpe and cm12 with custom kernel on 1+. Out of the box, I like mxpe hands down. Probably why I'm still stock on this phone. But once we get Custom marshmallow roms rolling, my flashiolic will kick in!

i do not play games but i do chat a lot, movies etc, i get around 5 hours on screen time.
the phone usually lasts the whole day but you have to watch your apps some apps just drain your battery.
keep in mind that you can get 40% of charge in 15 min, you gotta love this feature over the one plus
I did buy one..... waiting but I hope the battery life is going to be excellent.
The size of the battery is not huge and even though they say excellent battery life Google does not give you stats.
Screen on "50%" how long....
Can you wake up 6am set the phone in charger at midnight and still have battery?
Me I typically play a game, use my language learning programs a few hours a day.
Check maybe 20 emails, and 20 text messages.
Location services and bluetooth are always on. (need them for Play services and Android Wear)
And I believe and I hope the device proves me wrong but if I know it will be a long time between charges I will need to modify usage.
Is the type of usage I go through unreasonable ?
Yet all they say is you can get 7 hours of usage (what type of usage?) in 15 minutes.
So you are in the airports all day the battery is at 20% and you need to have the charger with you and find an outlet.
1) do not always have the charger handy
2) can not always find A/C
Does anybody really expect better battery life than with other phones ?
I am wrong Google did post some stats
3,450 mAh battery
Standby time (LTE): up to 23 days
Talk time (3g/WCDMA): up to 32 hours
Internet use time (Wi-Fi): up to 14 hours
Internet use time (LTE): up to 14 hours
Video playback: up to 14 hours
Audio playback (via headset): up to 130 hours
I should have no problem going through a long day moderate usage if this is correct.

They stated similar stats when they released the 6P (the shop page was deleted so I can't paste them) and I got one....
Best screen-on-time I can get is 5 hours (with custom rom, custom kernel and a lot of system tweaks).
Don't rely on those stats, they were (in the best case) made under ideal conditions (probably in a lab) or (and that's rather the case) just calculated and without promise....
I am somewhat underwhelmed with the 6P battery life, but I'm stock as I can't root per company policies.
Hoping the Pixel XL will be better. Or at least same... If it is worse, then it will be going back in the 14 day return window.

Potentially we're looking at better stats.
Same size battery in a smaller body with a smaller screen and Supposed CPU optimisations, could explain the underclock.
My 6p makes it through the day without a charge, but I'm never far from an outlet, car charger or power bank just in case. Now that I've USB C proofed my home and office the rapid charging serves its purpose.
We've all seen the garbage spouted about days of battery life before and usage varies so much per user it's hard to compare. As they say the proof is in the pudding so we'll soon see, the price definitely isn't going up so why not wait and see?

Why not rely on Google's internal battery life tests?
They did the same for the 6P, so they can be compared.
All that matters in the end is how it really works for you, also stats are always overly optimistic. You buy a car an the dealer says the car is rated 5 litres per 100 km and every time the best your car does is 7 litres per 100km
What I had to do in the past is when I know I will be travelling without easy access to a charger is ration battery usage.
The stats though are encouraging hopefully and only time will tell is my next device I will not have to ration too much.
I really miss removable batteries remember the carefree way I used devices in the past with huge Zerolemon batteries. They will like sell a case for the Pixel XL but a case that adds battery capacity is not as elegant as just using a bigger battery.
The reviews on the battery life seem pretty terrible so far and is really worrying me as it was my only concern. I have been rocking a Hauwei Mate 8 recently, which I consistently get around 7 hr SOT. Reviews for Pixel XL are coming out at 3.5-4 hr, which is not good for how big it is. It has only a slightly smaller battery than the S7 Edge, but the Edge performs much better, I was getting 5-5 .5 hr SOT with my Edge before switching to Mate 8. Google Assistant always being present and doing stuff may be a pretty severe drain. Just as someone else mentioned, nice that we have a 15 day return window.

3-4 hours SOT sucks. Im getting 6 hours on 6p and 5 on Nexus 6
SOT is dependent on multiple factors, like what apps are running in background and what you do on the phone. Web browsing habits of sites visited, some sites have a lot going on.

Where are you seeing these 3.5-4 hr SOT reviews??
Many of the reviews that came out yesterday gave the Pixel highly positive ratings on battery. MKBHD said he got 6hrs SOT on full brightness, Dieter at the Verge said it might be the best battery life of any phone he'd ever used. Wired and a couple others also noted it as a high point. But then Mossberg said the smaller Pixel got so-so battery, and I think one of the Android Authority guys also called it average.
So... it sounds like basically any other Android phone. Varies highly for different people.

Pretty sure the AA review, he was getting 3.5-4 hours for battery life and called it good/above average, which is not. I remember his specifically because that is where I got the idea that google assistant could be having a large impact if used heavily, which he said he was using heavily. I don't remember MKBHD saying 6 hours but I would have to go rewatch. I know I saw at least 2 reviews that said 3.5-4 ish and they both called it good. Which makes me worry that all the other reviews that called it good without giving specific numbers were under this same impression. I watched a crap ton of reviews, many didn't give specific stats. They must be comparing it to htc10, lg g5 and iphone to consider that good, leaving samsung as the only outstanding if they are considering that anywhere near good.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the first charge out of the box but that is still not a good indication. No bueno. Guess I have two weeks to try it out.
I'm at 90% right now with 56 min screen on time. Just reading the news/web browsing. On wifi.
I'm happy.

That's what I have been wanting to hear! Would you be willing to post some screen shots of your battery life, etc before you plug her in tonight. How heavily have you been using the new assistant? have you done anything to customize your settings like turn off always listening or anything like that, adaptive screen brightness, etc?

I got mine yesterday at 5pm, Used it straight, setting it up with everything turned on and screen @ %100 (setup, music, movies, games) and it died after 5.5 hours. It was also on 86% charge when i got it.

That's what I have been wanting to hear! Would you be willing to post some screen shots of your battery life, etc before you plug her in tonight. How heavily have you been using the new assistant? have you done anything to customize your settings like turn off always listening or anything like that, adaptive screen brightness, etc?

Right now, no tweaks everything turned on (assistant, always listening, Bluetooth, wifi).
Mostly web browsing. 15 minutes or so of Clash Royale. On wifi most of the day. Auto brightness.
Looks like about 6h SOT if I took it to empty.

so I'm looking for a new phone, I currently have a Samsung S10 e and I get about four and a half hours or so of screen time. I had pickles in the past and really love them because the cameras dope. I really want to get a 4 because I'm going on vacation next week to Jamaica but all these reviews about the battery life really has me worried. I'm trying to get a gauge now that the phone's been out for a few weeks for some real time users to see what I can expect.
some of you say it gets like two to two and a half hours and then other people say it's around 4 to 5. I'm just looking for some real world battery stats because I don't want to go on vacation and have this dope camera that I can't use cuz the battery is always dead
I got like 7 hours SOT. It's a good battery.
I had a crappy battery at the beginning, but adaptative battery make it last easily a whole day now, after about 2 weeks use.
Thanks for the responses!! Yeah I went ahead and bought one off swappa.
Im glad to hear it's manageable from real users and not YouTube reviewers. There were quite a few saying it was getting like 2 hours or less which scared the crap out of me!!!
