Recently I have purchased the device.
Despite the fact it has 2300 mAh Battery.
On Normal usage the Battery Lasts quite long. (check SS.
No heating issue.
Excellent camera
Smooth UI (Nougat 7.0)
Sound output is a bit low.
Solid design gives a premium feel
Finally Brand name Sony is enough to tell rest of the story. :laugh::good:

:highfive: the battery very impressive. i also have one
36 hours and my battery went from 80% to 20% .
I am impressed with the battery.
High battery consumption on 2G voice calls......is it okay?
High battery consumption on 2G voice calls......
The battery consumption on voice calls is higher than on Screen usage. It's around 4.2 mAh/Min. I think it's unusual because I have checked in my friend's mobile and it was 35 mAh for 20 Mins calling.
My network mode is 'GSM Only'.
Can someone post their battery usage for voice calls.
Please so that I can verify it with mine... Thanks
Loving the battery life on this phone, Much better than the battery I got form my old Z5.
I usually get around 6hrs SOT each day. (on my Z5 it would be around 3.5 hrs SOT)

Battery consumptions on 2G Voice calls is very much dependent on your signal strength. If it is bad then it can easy consume more than the screen. The reported talk time for XA1 is about 11 h 30 min which would give 3.3 mA/min but that might be under better signal conditions than your call.
(I don't have any XA1 myself so I cannot do any testing of the battery.)

Thanks for your opinion. Yes I understand that but signal strength in my area varies somewhere in between - 65 dbm to - 82 dbm. I think it's fair enough.
But I'm facing that much of battery drain on Nought 7.0, previously I had Xperia Z3 and on same locations the bettery drain on Marshmallow 6.0.1 was far less then this. I have tested Xa1 with single sim and results were same.
That's why I was asking someone to share his battery stats to compare with mine to verify if there is something wrong with my unit....

I am still not too happy with the battery of the Galaxy, even though it should be conditioned by now. Nowhere near as good as the iPhone 3Gs, even though the 45nm chip in the galaxy, as well as the AMOLED screen, should be benefitial to battery life.
Maybe a good benchmark would be to see what readings people get at the time of the first "Low Battery" warning. You can see what depleted your battery by going to Settings/About/Phone/Battery Use. To get details, touch the corresponding bar in the graph.
Mine are:
20h 32m 4s since unplugged
Display: 38% (1h 54m)
Cell standby: 24%
Phone idle" 16%
Android OS 10% (CPU usage 50m 4s)
Voice calls: 6% (2m 54s --- WTF?!)
Android System: 4%
K-9 Mail: 2%
Advanced Task Killer: 2%
Those numbers look good to me somehow, I wouldn't expect better battery life after using the display for 2 hours and another 19 hours of standby? Especially as the phone can easily stand by another few hours on the last 15%...
i just got my phone recently, i'll post my results after a few weeks of daily usage.
i do a lot of 3G+, WiFi and SMS, not so much voice call, but regularly enough like two or 3 calls a day
that should be a pretty good test to see how long the battery last from full to like 20% that's when i usually recharge my phone if i don't carry a spare battery with me

It depends on what you compare it to, I guess.
I am comparing it to my old iPhone 3Gs, which would last about 48 hours, usually with considerably longer talk time than the 2m 54s I have on the Galaxy S. How can less than 3 minutes of talk show 6% battery drain?!
As I noted, the Galaxy S's smaller die (45nm) and AMOLED screen should be an advantage over the iPhone 3Gs's older hardware, yet the iPhone lasts markedly longer.
Anyway, I just wanted to see what others are seeing and how long their phones are lasting. It might be interesting to many others, too.
The galaxy S holds considerably longer than the iPhone 3GS. Probably longer than the iPhone 4 as well.
My current stats:
2D 0H 33M 41S Since unplugged
Voice calls: 34% (38m 37s)
Cell Standby: 28%
Phone idle: 19%
Display: 18%
Funny, it doesn't show the time when i played SandStorm and Asphalt.
Oh, and my current battery level: 66%
If i skimp on the battery, i can hold 5 days between charges.

WOW! This is just amazing!
How long was your screen on for only 18%? (I have mine set at the dimmest, but still....)
Do you use email much and if so, how many accounts and often do you have the phone checking it?
Wait, you use tons of WiFi and you're suprised that the phone won't hold too much?
In contrast to the iphones that require you to manually search for a network, android ACTIVELY searches for local open networks and connects to them.
When you're not using WiFi- TURN IT OFF.
If you're talking about cellular internet, that's another thing.
And the display (set to medium-low brightness, the brightest mode where it doesn't BURN MY EYES. Damn this display is bright) registers 1h 27m.

For what it's worth, my WiFi has been off for most of the day.
But, on WiFi discovey, my experience has been the opposite.
On the iPhone 3Gs, I always had WiFi and BT turned on. if I was not connected to WiFi, but WiFi became available, the iPhone would bring up a pop up, asking me if I want to connect to the network.
With te Galaxy S, I can have WiFi Notifications on, but unless I search for a network (usually by turning WiFi off, then back on), it doesn't inform me of available networks.
To boot, even though it remembers both my home and office networks, half the time it does not sign in automatically when I enter the area, but I have to do the off/on thing to get signed on

Well consider yourself lucky! you got an amazing battery from the future or something, because this is not what we are all seeing... I get a decent 30 hours with mine max...
Can you tell us how long is the display time ?
My guess is that I could stay 2 days with my phone if I was never swithcing on the screen.
The thing is that you seems to use your phone like I was using my old nokia 6310 ...
Try to play some music or video and you won't last 5 days or even 2days ... maybe 1 if you are lucky
Basically you have left your phone switch off 2 days and call 38mn and that's all ?? I can't tell you that my old iphone3GS is going to be pretty close in term of performance of battery
given that 1h54 give 38% of 85% for the OP I would say that you have maybe 20mn of display
The battery life of my SGS was terrible for the first few days of use. I don't have the battery usage numbers but the battery would only last for around 20 hours doing: 30-60 min call, 2hour music, 30mins video, 30mins game, and approx. 40mins web surf using mostly wifi.
But after about 5 charging cycles (discharging until battery ran low and the phone eventually turns off, then charging the phone to full), the phone lasts for two whole days with the same usage described above each day!
So I have noticed a significant improvement in battery.
If you haven't gone through the charging cycle and your phone is relatively new, give it a week before you think the battery life is crap
yeah I am still waiting for the improvment
After almost 2 weeks , a dozain of cycle I still don't see it coming ...
I guess I must be using the screen too much ( miminum light) ...
Afert 12h46 I am at 25% with 65% taken by the display , 10% by cell idle, 8% by android , 6% by network idle, 4% by call ...
I have already used the screen 3h14mn
I don't know what you do but on my side I am reading my mails, reading xda, reading some newspaper on the train, watching some video ...
So my crappy battery doens't seem to come from some app draining it ... but just from the display.
So basically nothing I could do except using it less than what I am used to
Display time was 1h 27m
mine last around 10h (display on 4,5h) and thats as low as u can adjust brightness in settings according to gsmarena blog display can last up to 10h...
im using dimmer app now. hope i get 5-6h (display time) with that.
ok i'll play:
10hr:10min since last unplugged.
Battery at 74%
Display: 50% (I leave it on auto brightness)
Cell Standby:19%
Phone Idle: 12%
Bluetooth: 8%
NDrive: 7%
Android System: 2%
I'm happy with that.
I'm easily getting through a 15 hour day with moderate use (my normal usage pattern). this is on a par with my previous Nexus One and iPhone 3G.
BTW, I keep the WiFi on persistently (even when the screen is off) because I heard it draws less juice than the 3G/phone data. (I typically spend a lot of time around the house on WiFi ...)
Battery killer is normally "time without signal", the N1 would average maybe 70% without a signal, the SGS is averaging around 30% without a signal - so based on that perhaps the battery isn't quite as robust as the N1 (which was on Froyo).
Anyway, I have no concerns about my SGS battery based on similar phones and usage patterns. I will be tempted to get an extended battery for it though (I had a Mugen 3200mAh on the N1 and that would give me 2 days under quite heavy usage).

Are you sure about this? I thought I noticed much better battery life when I started to switch wifi off and using 3g instead. I guess it could just be my battery maturing

Keeping the WiFi policy to never disconnect apparently uses less battery than the system thrashing between 3G and non-3G data when sync'ing etc. Typically WiFi will show as 2% battery usage at the end of the cycle.
I base it off my old N1 usage, which I got from here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=006a844d7d335a90&hl=en
Hello everyone.
I haven't found a solution to this problem so I'm making a new thread.
I got my N4 a week ago, I'm on CM10.1 stable and Franco kernel. I know there are complaints about poor battery life with the N4 but I find mine is actually pretty good with exception of the Voice Calls. My voice calls are always the 1st culprit for battery drain (along with the screen - but that's normal). After monitoring my battery usage for a few days and doing some math, it's as if my battery drains from 100% - 0% after 3.5-4 hours of phone calls. This is a quarter of what's reported by GSM arena for 3G usage (don't worry, taken with a grain of salt) and what bugs me is that it's even far worse then my previous Galaxy S Captivate. Iv'e also noticed that playing 3D games drains less battery per minute then voice calls!
So, anyone knows what's the deal here?
- measurments taken with the phone battery app and BBS.
From my experiences, phone calls always hold the top spot for battery usage. Not much can be done about it as far as I know..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
quality of the phone signal will play a huge role in this too
My cell coverage is pretty good, and the main reason I think there is an actual problem is because voice calls didn't take up as much percentage with my Galaxy S while overall battery life improved with everything else.
For now I'm trying a new rom and kernel to see if that was the cause.
Hey. I am just curious. I always get big mobile standy battery drain, also during the night time. It is not affected by enabling or disabling location, bluetooth or wifi.
On battery settings - mobile standy is always bigger than screen drain, I think it is very strange. I am using 4G setting on phone, but anyway if I choose 3G, I got same drain. Please take a look into screenshots. I suppose that there is no fix for it, but I cant believe that all of users have same stats on battery also (4G users).
Honestly, it doesn't look too bad. I would say it is about as good as you can get on 4G unless you use Xposed.
From my experience, Moto voice was the culprit. When disabled I get about 4 hrs sot. Once enabled, cell standby drain jumps and sot drops to around 2 hrs.

Moto Voice is not the culprit or cause... The issue is cellular signal strength, and SD808 SOC does not use battery efficiently unless signal strength is excellent, anytime it drops the battery usage increases exponentially. The OP's Mobile Standby drain looks very normal to me.

No worries... Moto Voice CAN cause battery drain, although it isn't common, it just won't show up as mobile standby, that is purely radio usage.

This is why I primarily use 3G and will only occasionally turn on LTE. 3G signal strength is typically better in my area and it helps prevent the extra battery drain. For the most part, since I don't stream much video on mobile data, 3G speeds are more than sufficient for my day to day tasks like email, forum postings, banking, etc.
I kept Moto voice off for some time when I first got the phone because I worried about battery. I decided to give it a try one day and over the course of a couple of weeks I noted the battery drain was negligible despite always listening so I left it on. Any unusual battery drain during standby/sleep I've experienced since then has been due to a rogue app causing wakelocks but it has never been due to Moto voice that I could determine.

Might want to test with LTE on... In many cases LTE uses less battery than 3G in modern SOC's.

Ou. If you are saying that it looks fine for you, then I believe it. I am living in the place where are a lot of base stations nearby, so I suppose phone is always switching between the cells to find the best signal at that moment. Thanks.
I was just worried that Mobile Standy is always in first place, and then I got only 2 hours of SOT.

If I can get Tasker to do the switch LTE on/off via location I will give it a try. At work I usually get decent enough signal to get data and phone calls on 3G all day but LTE is extremely weak and drops regularly back to 3G so the switching back and forth between bands is murder on the battery and data consistency.
UPDATE: Gave a shot to running LTE on for a few days. Thanks @acejavelin. While my battery life is not really noticeably better, it is not worse either so I can enjoy the greater speed. I just have to manually switch to/from 3G when arriving and leaving work, but I can deal with it.
Hi all,
I tried all the possible solutions Greenify, Format etc. but my battery still drains more than 3% per hour.
Should I go and change the device from service center? I am wondering they will not take this as a replacement.
Do you disable GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not using?
The standby drain will persist depending on the 4G signal strength. If you are in a strong coverage area, it should not be more than 1.5%-2%/hr. Also are you on WQHD or FHD? Disabling AOD and being on FHD helps.
Also seeing strong standby drain after the last update, not sure why?

Download 'Network Cell Info" from playstore and check your signal strength. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfo&hl=en). Also here is a ready reference to evaluate 4G LTE signal parameters: http://blog.industrialnetworking.com/2014/04/making-sense-of-signal-strengthsignal.html

This. For some reason, the signal at my house is just horrible. Maybe it has to do with the tall trees surrounding the area? I get much worst standby time compare to when I'm at my vacation home.
Yeah this is only the negative I have right now with this phone. I get impressive 6 to 7 hours SOTs before needing recharge but standby times are bad despite no using AOD and keeping all apps at always sleep in settings but I am not rooted yet.
My rooted S5 LTE-A with RR gets impressive 2 and sometimes up to 3 days standby with 3G/LTE but thats with greenify and adaway.
Anyone here with rooted S8 with greenify get more standby time?

How do you get 6-7 hrs SOT when your standby is bad?. My standby is about 2%/hr and I get 4-5 hrs SOT mixed wifi and 4G LTE.

That scenario would be charging the phone to 100%, LTE/3G at full bars, watching youtube podcast videos @ 480p for total of 4+ hours, reading ebook for an hour and some web browsing for remaining time till 5%.
Problem is when I charge 100% and just leave the phone for about 6 hours no use whatsoever, i get 85 - 80 after checking again. That is with good signal as well.

The SOT needs to be ignored. What matters is standby time. If we dont use the phone for a couple of hours and you see the battery drop considerably then something is wrong with your apps/signal. BBS/GSM helps point out the wakelocks for apps, but a bad signal has limited options. Its high time, Google & OEMs should try and address the standby drain issues. This is one area where iOS excels, due to a closed and nuclear approach towards apps.
So far how do you think about the battery life on the phone is with heavy usage considering the fact that phone Comes with 5000mAh of battery?
As for me I think the phone can do better than what it's doing right now.

With light usage i get around 11 n half hours SOT.
With moderate usage it's around 10 to 11 hrs.
During extensive use i get from 8 to 10 hrs SOT
Pretty good. It will last throughout the day. No doubt.
On moderate or light use cases it will last more than that. You just have to charge on alternate days. Its the best thing i noticed about this phone, you don't have to carry a charger or search for a charger in the middle of a movie. :good:
With custom roms theoretically it should do better as we can opt out of all these google services constantly running in the background.

I had actually called Asus hotline and they asked me to 1.)Turnoff the Zenmotion in gestures.
2.) Use the phone in safe mode for 3-4 hrs
3.) And always charge the battery to 100% and drain it till 20-30% (or even less if possible) instead of charging intermittently.
Now I donno y they asked me to this...but im giving it a shot. Moreover I have also installed Greenify app as stated above & one point to be noted is that a lot of Youtube techies have mentioned that low network coverage in your area affects battery usage to almost 40-50%.
Now maybe that can be the reason too..but im not convinved for such low SOT coz people above who posted screen shots also show low network coverage.
LETS SEE! How it goes

Yes it does. And 4G means more battery drain.

I had actually called Asus hotline and they asked me to 1.)Turnoff the Zenmotion in gestures.
2.) Use the phone in safe mode for 3-4 hrs
3.) And always charge the battery to 100% and drain it till 20-30% (or even less if possible) instead of charging intermittently.

Poor LTE network does drain the battery like anything. I get more battery drain at office because LTE network is poor. At home its good so battery drain is very less. What i do is switch to 3G instead of LTE. That helps a lot.
