My phone has been unplugged for 8h 30mins. The battery has been used for: 40mins of phone calls, 25mins of that with bluetooth, about 25 texts, the screen has been on for 1h 45mins, it has been running for 2h 6mins, the internet has been used for probably 3/4 of the screen on time, and I have been using wifi for probably half of the time that it has been unplugged. I am using the stock battery and right now my battery is at 37%. Would you consider this good battery life? Thanks

Yesterday I had wiped my battery stats after I bump charged my phone to full because I just switched to New Guy rom. My up time made it to 27 hours with awake time at 4 hours and 10 minutes. The first two and a half hours was mostly texting, a few short phone calls and some light gaming and browsing around the phone to get everything set up the way I like. The last two hours consisted of over an hour on the internet, updating 25 apps, lots of texting with 2 short phone calls, 40 minutes of listening to music and about 15 minutes of gaming. I still had 12% battery left after all of that. I was very surprised. so what you have listed sounds like your battery life is fine.

ROMs that contain this mod. When flashing a new rom or kernel, what is the procedure to re cal the battery?
I believe people should post their usage times when stating the number of hours of battery life. I hardly use my phone on Sundays and I can get 21 hours plus. The only way to determine battery life is to state the usage in time for internet, games, call usage ect.

There is a great app in the market. i think its called battery calibration. just charge battery to when it says 100% and run app. there is also an option to run it when not at 100%.

21 hours on hardly any useage? That's pretty bad.
Today I watched 2 hours of video from the SD card, then streamed 90 minutes from Netflix over 3G, plus the occasional short (less than 5 minutes) phone call, frequent email checks, and some random texting, and I'm sitting at 57%.
On extremely light usage, I unplug at 7am, go through my work day without turning wi-fi off (I let it auto detect and connect to my home network), random texts, check Groupon, check email, short calls, and 30 minutes or so reading with the Kindle app... By 4:00 I'm usually at about 85%.

my battery drops like 17% (from 100 to 83) just playing an hour of music off the sd card(doing nothing else) if I watched 2 hours of video, an hour and a half of netflix plus other usage my battery would be much less than 57%
my work has terrible reception so im always roaming. i was wondering if it makes a difference when i calibrate my battery at work as opposed to on the weekend when im at home and i get much better battery life? does it matter?

Sure does. I almost doubled my battery by switching my roaming to Sprint only.
hello !
i was just wondering if you're experiencing the same battery drain I do.. I am on battery since 7 o clock when i went to school and I am left with 14% of battery now after 14 hours.. facebook updating every 4 hours, push notifications enabled, 3G on, 40 minutes active on facebook, 10 minutes of browsing and a bit of gaming ~ 2h7 of screen on time and 30 mins of phonecalls..
is that normal?! post your results or stats please !
That sounds about right. I usually have to charge at the end of the day around 6pm.
whats your usage?
and hows it about the screen brightness? mine is approx. ~30% so autobrightness if i get into light..
On a normal day for me... I'm txt constantly and browsing and or doing something on it.
My phone is off the charger 6am onward. By the time I get to 4pm... it's very well at about 10% left.
Screen brightness is usually at 25%. I've also recently removed most of the bloatware off the phone which doesn't run.
My autoupdate is mostly turnoff off on all my apps except for fb every 4hours, twitter every 4hrs and my email is on all the time.
Avast is always running and I toggle between data and wifi constantly.
I'm happy if I get a good 12 to 14hours worth of usage before a charge. Mind you I'm only running on a 1350mah battery. I was thinking of looking for a 1800mah. Could give me a few more hours.
Cheers.
why 1350 mah? normally the arc comes with 1500? okay.. that sounds fine.. screen on time bout 2 hours right?
So every night before sleeping I turn Data/ Wifi off, Past few nights ive noticed there has been a 12-15% drain in 8-9 hours.
Battery before sleeping 30%(data/wifi off)
Battery 9 hours later 15%
Stock 4.2.2
No Intense Background apps.
Is this normal ?? I don't think 4.1.1 had such battery drain with screen off and no data/wifi.
Thanks,
so u basically(roughly ) have 1% drop an hour? thats pretty damn good if you ask me
mine is usually 10 hours with intense use and 30 hours with minimal use eg: at work

That's normal at around 30% battery left. Once it reaches 30 and below it really would drain that much even without doing anything. But if you start with 95% percent and overnight drain of 15% with all off, then there is a problem somewhere. I usually have overnight drain of 3% for 8 hours.

Thanks for the reply buddy, 1.5% an hour seems higher, but as mrm43 said i think its the cause.

Thanks for your reply, I had a feeling about what you just said. But I don't recall this happening before, I could be wrong. Will charge up and test tonight and post results.
Also, I'm noticing my phone getting warm past 1 week while normal usage( Web surfin+music) area behind the camera.
So just to post back, I charged the phone upto 85% and turned off Data and Wifi, Woke up 8 and half hours later and the battery was 79%. Which is ok I guess, assuming only cell radio was on.
Hello everyone.
I currently own a Tab s 8.4 LTE version for exactly 40 days only. I began noticing battery being so weird last week so I will be direct and to the point as much as I can.
A week ago, I noticed that my battery isn't doing so well, I am just a med (sometimes heavy) tablet user ( I mainly chat, browse facebook, read articles, play some youtube videos and I play music as well) I had my battery charged to 100% before a car trip that lasted for around 4 hours, by the time I arrived to the destination, the battery was on 10% only.
Here is what I did on that trip:
1- Had Mobile network connected all the way (used it for chatting on whatsapp, facebook and reading some emails)
2- Listened to music for 45 mins.
3- Played 30 minutes of clash of clans.
When I arrived to my destination, I waited the tablet till it completely drain then I put it in charger ( I was astonished by the fact that when I instantly put the charger in, it read like 30% instead of 0 or 1%)
Anyway I charged it to 100% and went to test it by watching continuous non-stop 204 minutes of movie (Thats 3 hours 20 minutes) and I was happy that it only dropped from 100% to 67% with 50 percent brightness and (Wifi/Sync connected) then I played clash of clans, 15 mins of clash of clans dropped the battery from 67 to 53 so I was pretty much shocked (like 1 percent for every in-game minute!)
The third day I left it in standby mode to test if it drains unsually when it is idle, I left it for continuous 12 hours on 100% (Airplane mode on, no wifi, no sync) and it only dropped 3% in those 12 hours. I managed to acheive a 4h on screen and 1d 4h battery on time (Which made me pretty sure that the battery is not defective, may be just the reading is faulty)
I tested it today. Charged from ground zero up to 100% then I used it. My activity mainly was:
1- a lot of chatting (like 2 hours but not continuous) on whatsapp.
2- 45 mins of music and 15 mins on soundcloud.
3- 40 mins of Clash of Clans (drained my battery in a significant way)
4- Checking facebook notifications, gmail and browsing some websites on hourly timed intervals.
I managed only to get 5h screen on time and a total of 7h of battery on time. Screenshots in attachments.
More importantly, I used it from 100% till it drained to zero then I put it on charger, it automatically read 15%! (Happened to me before that it read 30% instead of zero or 1% then I drained it from 15% to zero again, put the charger and it read from zero%)
Please help me get answers for these 2 questions:
1- Do you think this battery is defective? I own this LTE tablet for only 1 month. Or do you think it only performs poor?
2- Does a game like Clash of Clans really drain it that fast? Like 1 percent charge for every minute or minute and half?
3- How long should it normally take to charge from zero up to 100%? Mine takes exactly 3 hours or 3 hours and less than 10 minutes. Is that okay? Or should it be longer?
Thank you
Can you go back this this thread and try what I said. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2809818. I dont want to copy and paste it again lol.
My battery stats have improved greatly by turning off location completely.
Took it off charge at 6am and with heavy usage
YouTube internet calls etc
still have 65% 16.5 hrs later.:good:
Just starting to play with battery use on my new G5. 100% charged 10 hours ago just before bed.
On a day to day basis i am a pretty light user. Calls and texts mainly.
Left phone unpluggged so it slept and 7 1/2 hours layer its at 93%.
20 mins music and email checking 19 hours in its at 88%.
Have Greenified much in the way of apps which i think improved things. Compared to the Sony i had the G5 seems to have ok battery life.
Its certainly in the useful, full day and better range.

Is yours rooted? I tend to get 5+ hours screen on time sometimes 7 which is amazing for a phone this cheap.
Same here, I have about 4-5 hours of screen on time with greenify, non-rooted. I'm a regular user, messenger, emailing, browsing, spotify etc. I'm also using Adguard which has its impact on the battery but a small price compared to having ads all over the place

Nope, no root as yet. And actually i may not depending on what ROMS become available in the future. Pretty happy with the way this is setting up and Android 7.0 stock. I think i may well leave it unrooted until after Android O hits and see where i go from there.
i'm rooted and the battery is very good, i got 7,5 hours SOT, usually i have 5-6 H of calls and 3H of SOT, 2 sims active, wifi and 4g always on, and the battery is 20-25% when i put on charging from evening to the morning. Very happy with this battery

Very good battery for price of the handset
I don´t know it´s a isolated case, but since i bought the phone, the battery is pretty bad, yesterday i tried to charge with another power adapter and my battery it´s lasting longer, anyone have this same problem?
Sometimes this happens to me.
When i keep my phone overnight(Battery Saver ON) even wid a charge of 60-70%, next day mrng, the battery is completely drained and phone is OFF. This doesnt happen daily, happens only sometimes. Any guesses why dis happens?
