I just got the Touch Pro 2 from Tmobile and the battery life is terrible. I made it 10 hours before it died.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

There is another post about this. Check this out.

Mine was terrible as well, but installing both the cab and the wmlonglife, my battery life has increased dramatically. The cab disables the data connection after 60 sec of putting the phone in sleep mode, and the wmlonglife leaves your connection at 2g, but will go back to 3g depending on the settings and programs you want.

Also make sure you dont have all communication options on when you dont need them (i.e. Bluetooth, wifi, etc)

Hey guys.
I've been wondering.
Lately im using my TP2 (unbranded) quite a lot and my battery dies out fast. Everyone is saying that if your battery life sucks you should try to switch radioflashes.
What is your general battery life, what rom do you use, what radio do you use and how much do you use your phone?
Im using the GTX themed EnergyRom LEO 23-build (apr-8)
Radio: 4.49.25.17
I use it quite a lot and if im lucky i squeeze 2 days out of a full charge.
Keep up the good work guys!
2 days is good battery life

Is it really that bad ?XD
2 days is amazing. With my screen off most of the day I can get 36-48 hours. If i'm on my phone all day and the screen is on I'll get around 24 hours.
And what are you talking about? Most phones I see are lucky if they get to the second day on a full charge.

Yes, actually anything over a full day's use is generally "above average" for this phone.
The best ways you can make sure you get the most out of your battery is to switch off 3G/bluetooth/wifi at any time that you're not using them, and to not leave the screen on any more than necessary (unless it's connected and charging). When I keep those things turned off most of the time, I can easily get up to 2 days (or very close to it) out of the battery...but as soon as I start using any of those more than lightly, a full day of battery is all I count on.
If you do have to use any of those regularly, then flashing a different radio might help...sometimes you'll get more efficient use of the 3G/bluetooth/wifi with a different radio, but trial and experimentation is the only way to know if another one is better for you or not.

I turned off the bluetooth and wifi/3G. Does internet connection for mail/weather and twitter change anything?

Yes, any type of data connection uses up battery much faster, due to the fact it has to broadcast data over the air.
Unless you've specifically turned off 3G permanently, mail, weather and twitter will all switch the 3g connection back on for what they need, and will leave it on (draining your battery) until you manually switch it off again...

Hi All,
My Gnex 9250 has a poor battery life, My brother has the same phone and his battery last much longer(with 3g) than mine. Please help.
1130 AM - Battery 100%
1 and half hour Music(Player Pro) - Not much screen activity(with 2G enabled)
2G on for 6 hours, Pretty long texting.
about 45 Minutes of Browsing(2g)
10 Mins on Voice calls.
No Widgets.Background apps = Swiftkey,Go launcher(No theme),Profile scheduler.
By 12am battery was 20%
Screen brigntness is VERY low so its not that, Its about 20%.
Phone is about a month old.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT - 4.1.1(No available updates)
The fact your battery goes over 12hrs seems it's not too bad with moderate use. And who knows if your bro uses his as much as he says? If you want to compare then look at his battery stats in settings next to yours.
Try a different ROM? Kernel?

Thanks for your reply.My brother does use as he said, Ive seen his battery stats, uptime was 1 day 9 hours(14% then). He doesnt text half as much as I do, but his voice calls are much more than mine. Also hes on 3g thats a bigger battery hog than 2g. Not too keen on changing the Kernel/Rom.
Could it be SwiftKey and Go launcher? He doesnt use either of them.
Thanks again.

there are lots of thing that can affect your battery life one of it is the kernel ur using.
I already have this problem before.
i've tried lots of custom rom. the only custom rom that solve this battery issues is from Android Revolution HD 7.0.0
from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361348
imo the best battery/performance kernel out there is franco's. try it, battery will be 2x to 3x longer.
if you like to fool around with what's chewing battery you can get better battery stats and it will tell you what keeps your phone from going to sleep. sometimes nothing, sometimes crappy app that messes things up
good luck!
Thanks to all for your replies.
Guess that 12 hours is not bad afterall right? Seems like that from the first reply I got.
Unfortunatly I have no time to re-flash a differnt ROM/Kernel. But thanks for all reccomendations.

You say that your brother doesn't text as much as you but he uses voice calls more. Remember that when you're texting the screen is on and that has a big impact on battery life.
There's not a kernel, ROM, or flying saucer out there that can triple battery life Just saying. People get fanatical about certain ROM/kernel combos. The usual suspects are leaving on things you don't need and on occasion an app. People claim that different things work better on different phones but I think it's a bunch of crap. Much of what you hear is placebo.

Hi XDA members and developers. I just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 International Version. 3 weeks old currently. I don't want to void any warranty itself. Is there any way folks? I lose 2% and hour just standby. and 10% and hour in Wi-Fi use.
WiFi - Moderate Use
SMS - Moderate Use
Cellular Data - OFF and GSM Only mode
PowerSaving Mode
Sync Off
Carrier - Sun Cellular Philippines
I posted my current device condition and status and downloaded application.
Please help me. I believe that SGN2 is a beast when it comes to battery.
Or If root is the solution. Give me tips.
There is nothing wrong i can see in your image 1. You have kept screen on almost half the time. it was even not fully charged (appr 95%) and still after 2 hrs of use it is about 83%. 12 % use with nearly 1 hr screen on time is normal when you have poor network.
Look to network, hardly you had 5-10 min good network, otherwise all the time you have it poor coverage, which is most juice drainer.
Thanks dr. Ketan

Dr. Ketan thanks for that advice. I tried other carrier and it is now good and mostly green network. You're the best. I read all your posts and it is very helpful. A thanks meter to you. If ever I will root I will look to your post in How to root Galaxy note 2. Thank the doctor.
And last question. How about in my image 2 which is the stats of wakelock detector? Is that normal? the 1013? It bothers me a lot every time I look to wakelock. I know rooting can improve battery life but it's not my option right now. Thanks!!

Your wakelock are normal. Don't worry about it. As dr.ketan said your network drains more.

He he. Most smartphones can never hope to drop only 10% in an hour of screen on time. My i9505 drops that much in 30 minutes.

Off late my Gnex is draining a lot of battery while making calls. a 15-16 mins call is draining the battery by 4-5% atleast. Overall I'm getting screen time of around 3.5 - 4 hours on my stock, rooted Gnex when I am making only a few calls. I'm using the stock dialer.
Can anyone please help me out?

It wasn't like that earlier. I have no issues with screen time, only a call is draining the battery much faster than it used to do. The battery and phone both are almost 1.5 years old.

After 1.5 years, your battery is still providing about 6.6 hours of talk time out of approx 8hrs when brand new, assuming you're on 3G.
I would estimate this to be about what you can expect after that amount of time, give or take.
I wonder if a new battery would solve the issue?
What was your average drain previously?

I'm always on 2g network. I can understand the battery is getting old. I was wondering if I reflash ta radio, will it help? Earlier I used to a get around 8-8.5 hrs of talktime.

You're welcome bud.
As i am new to the note 4 i wanted to see as well. Usually after i get off work i am hovering around 70% or so. Today i had wifi calling turned on. I have 1.5 hours of work left and i am at 80%. About an hour and a half screen in between news and forums. A couple of phone calls, games and txt. Looks to be an improvement for me! Normal signal is about half the bars at work so not the best or worst signal.
Ok. Dumb question. What is wifi calling for?
A good search on google will tell you everything you're looking for
Yeah. And the same amount time was wasted with your less than helpful response. I would like the opinions of those here.

I use WiFi calling while I am at work, from 8:30-7:30 at night, still have about 40% of the battery left, I make great battery on WiFi calling. I also didn't do WiFi calling one time at work and the phone died within 6 hours. Noticed that the battery is saved by it not searching for a signal.
