Epic battery life! :D

Ive been trying to get my battery life to 24 hours! i am so close
anyone getting over 24 hours of battery life? share how ya did it!
what kernels are you using? Different Roms? are you over clocked or under-volting?
lets see some screen shots!

There are so many battery threads already out there..

special in that it's less useful because you did not post screen time?
you probably didn't get much past 4 hours screen time if you even got that far so it's not like it's an achievement.

I see very little screen on time. I have done 18 hours stock with 3.5-4 hours screen on but it's on it's last leg at that point. Lol

Why is there so much awake time even though your screen is not on? And unless you got really high screen time, 24 hours isn't that all impressive.

I got 3 hours of streaming music over 3G with 30 minutes of screen time today until i hit 15%.........
Forgot to add, my tbolt with extended battery would take me from NY to Philly using navigation the entire way and streaming music and at the end of 3 hours drive with the screen on I was down to 75%......

It's extremely easy with Juice Defender: Ultimate and the Extended Battery..

GSM, Apex ROM, ORIGINAL 1750mah battery.
1 day 4hours
3hrs 13minutes screen ON time.
I forgot to screen cap the other pic of the huge graph.
This is only on WIFI though during the weekend when I was home all weekend long.
I can't get this high if I was using cell data/wifi during workdays.

Wow. I think I won. I took out the battery and waited 2 days and then I put it back in the phone. I got 2 days and 16 hours out of that.
Try to top that.

Some of us have corporate email, does juice put the device to sleep? I need push email.

I can get 3 days quite easily if im busy and dont get much use out of it.
This state was with about 3 hours screen time.
The main point to take about battery life is that you can make it use all during screen off with Franco kernal and AOKP for example but if your gonna be playing games/watching films the battery will hollow out in no time (notice the 2 big dips on the pic that was while playing GTA3 on full brightness)
So the best you can do is minimise the battery drain when you are not using it. Otherwise its all about screen-on time and a bit to do with how much junk you have running
Setup as detailed in my sig

Another "I get amazing battery life but barely use it" type of thread. Seriously we all know how long the battery can last based on the usage.

I'm on lean kernel and quite frankly, I couldn't tell you the last time I didn't get at least a day. You want better battery life? That is the kernel you want to be using.

Battery power...

Does anyone know why when I restart my phone and look back at the battery it drops almost 50%. It happens with every ROM I've tried. currently I'm running "the goodness" 2.5.1 mijja which is totally awesome. Amy thoughts? thanks in advance!

have you tried charging to 100% then wiping battery stats ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Is this happening to you on Gb roms too? or just ics? I was on ics for a few and my battery would drop to 21% for no reason, on two different roms of ics. I flashed back to GB and haven't had any issue whatsoever, I never had an issue like this with FBxx leaks, only FCxx leaks

No I haven't cleared the battery stats, that seems like a good idea. I did use calkins complete wipe before flashing every ROM . It did happen once on a GB ROM but I was only on the GB for a week before the ics leaks came out. I'll try the battery stat clearing and report. Thanks for the thoughts!

You should always try wiping the battery stats, then draining the battery completely (until it turns off) and charge it to 100%, calibrate the battery and unplug. Just to be sure, you could drain it once more after that and fully charge it. This should then indicate the actual battery percentage.
This is recommended to do after flashing a new ROM.
Hope it helps and fixes the issue.

That sounds like a defective battery.
Perhaps you need to charge to full and discharge to about 10% the battery a few times, before this battery starts to behave normally...

I feel like the battery is behaving normally until I reboot. Then when I come back and look at the battery stats there is a significant loss of power but it is random (meaning not every reboot just some times) and that worries me. So in the morning I an going to reset by battery stats and run my phone until death, charge fully, then reboot a couple of times and report back. Thanks everyone for the input.

What exactly do you mean by "calibrate the battery?" I am going to try that for sure but is there a battery calibrating application or is it just clearing the battery stats in CWM? Thanks again.

Kill battery to 0%...make sure its at 0%......then charge to 100%.........then go to recovery and wipe battery stats....then do the same after

Does that battery trick work with stock im talking about the draining and recharging I know I can't clear battery stats without cwm but I'm wondering if draining and recharging would work on stock without calibration
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

this has happened to me on every andriod device ive owned

This is pretty much a well known bug on all samsung phones. The galaxy nexus included. If i'm not mistaken i've seen a few cases of this happening on HTC phones as well. If you let the phone sit the battery percentage should actually start going back up without charging. The problem is that the battery is only reporting to the phone an estimate of whats left. Its not designed to know how much is really left.

I think its a gingerbread bug. I get this too on my e4gt and I also got it a lot on the og epic when I upgraded to gingerbread. I honestly don't recall it happening on froyo. At least when it happens the battery percentage will stay stuck on that number till it actually starts draining.

Since you never flash anything it wont mess with your "battery stats/%".
But doing that will make your battery last longer.

So I ran my battery dead today... Dead, 0%, would not even turn on. Charged it for 5 hours until it said 100% being powered off. Booted into CWM and reset battery stats and tomorrow 8am will be unplugging and seeing how she does. I will also try a couple random reboots and report on battery life and drops. Thanks all for your help! Update for tomorrow night.

Not to be a Debbie downer but wiping stats is just a placebo effect. The only way to calibrate a battery is kill fully charge fully. Try not to mess with it too much while its charging. The stats has been proven to do absolutely nothing tho.

Alright peeps here is my update. Yesterday I drained my battery all the way to 0%, and my phone would no longer turn on. I then proceeded to charge it (while off) until it said 100%. I immediately booted into CWM and cleared battery stats and restarted.
I had a fairly light usage day but I did manage to reboot several times go to CWM clear the cache and here are the results:

I don't know if it was the battery stat clearing or just the killing then full charging of the battery but I didn't have any random power losses and my battery did fairly well but remember light usage for the day. So take this as you will but I am fairly satisfied. Thanks everyone for your input!

Agreed...there is a chip that runs the battery end of things...i've always heard ..especially from xda, is once you finish flashing...pull battery wait five minutes, reinsert and what u have at that point is what is really there.

Why wifi may use more battery? screen shots inside...

Here are some screen shots, tests were done with nothing sycning and screen off for 10 minutes, I even checked to see if any app was set to " sync on wifi only" . Now when wifi is on, it seems to sleep less and use more cpu until the " turn wifi off when screen off" kicks in. So if you are using your phone off and on before wifi turns off, you will kill your battery much faster.
Edit, these pics are from FC24 ICS leak, Im on CM9a3 FD16 kernel FD19 modem atm and same applies for this setup.

no, if anything, the radio will cost more battery because it's constantly looking for signal.

Live in a low signal area like I do and turn off wifi in the house, see what happens.

I think you guys are wrong, even when wifi is on the phone is connected (or searching for a signal). What this test is saying, is if you arnt using your phone (pulling data from 3g (having nothing to do with your signal)) you should have better battery then when wifi is on and you arnt pulling data.
example here, full wifi signal, but no cell signal, and Ill lose battery faster at this point, then say if I had full wifi and full cell signal. So what Im saying is no matter what your signal is like, when the phone is sleeping and you have wifi on, it will stay awake (wake lock) which will use more battery, period. As you can see when on 3g it sleeps most of the time. Ive done the test in low signal and good signal areas, and every time when 3g is on and sleeping it uses less battery.

Good, thorough testing.
What I see here in simple terms:
Wifi on while actively using data(screen off/on and sync, or active usage) is going to be better on battery versus 3g/4g.
Wifi on while NOT actively using data, is causing some sort of wakelock which is not allowing the device to sleep properly. Thus reducing battery life, because its trying to do something, and not succeeding
Solution: If you are going to be using the device more than leaving it idle, use wifi. If you are the "I check every few minutes for texts and that's it" or "I use xda app or twitter every few minutes, but otherwise screen is off" kind of person, then use 3g.
If you can, turn off all data connections when not actively using data. This depends on if you let your phone sync or not though.

I agree. Every time wifi is on, the battery usage is much lower than when using a 3g/4g radio.
I think every single wifi vs. cellular radio comment to this point in my 4 years of using smartphones was in favor of wifi. Without exception.
Seeing this thread makes me wonder if the OP was drunk.

OK, I made sense of this..OP was using CM9 which does use more battery while idle on wifi supposedly. I am not sure if that's been fixed because I haven't flashed CM9 on this phone yet.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

Don't be so rash and I believe this applies to cm9 unless that screen shot that John uploaded is cm9 which I doubt. I noticed myself that leaving wifi on will stop my phone from going to deep sleep also. This issue seems to be more ROM specific and not the usual general practice.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I've been using cm9 a2 for about a month or so, and it's been nearly perfect for me.
I can report that the standby power consumption without a doubt has been no different from gb roms. That is to say about 1% battery per hour of standby on wifi or 3g (with full bars; much more drain with less bars.)

Very true. Before my girlfriend, who lives in the sticks, got an Airave, I would lose 5-7% PER HOUR while idle on 3G. If I wanted my phone to last (almost the whole day) off the charger I would have to put it in airplane mode when not in use.
I would say if you have excellent 3G reception it wouldn't be much of a difference either way.

I have an airave in my apartment and still get better battery when on wifi.

If apps are set to sync with wifi radio on then it'll try to sync even when wifi sleep policy is set to be "off" when the screen is off. Thus the app will keep trying and therefore battery life shrinks

Hopefully when we get kernel source this will be straightened out. I am running CM9 on my Nexus with a screen off profile of 400/200 wheatley governor (great for screen off battery life.) Hopefully when we get that source we can have more governor options.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus battery life?

Didnt see any definitive threads so sorry if its already been asked.
If anybody can post a screenshot or something that would help
I have the E4GT and the battery and radio are killin it for me. Just bored with the phone and dont wanna wait for other phones to come out and wait for the bugs to arise.
I am only getting about 10 hours of use with moderate use. Low signal is killing my battery.
Thanks.

Either way I dont think you can go wrong with either the Nexus, Evo 4G LTE, or S3. I just want a strong radio and decent battery life. Any of these phones including the E4GT has enough processing power to accommodate my needs. I dont understand why people are so spec happy when they arent even going to be using the phone to its fullest potential most likely. Just wastes battery IMO

What sort of battery life are you getting?

I'm a bit disappointed with the G3 battery life. With no activity I'm losing about 10% per hour.

Think 10g might be the issue....can anyone confirm this please?

If you're losing 10% per hour you need to check your apps.
Something is milking it. I am also on 10G firmware, and I'm getting around two days with moderate to heavy use.

The GWatch shouldn't be sucking up excessive battery life unless you're using it flat out. Even then I think it should only use up a couple of % per hour.
Process of elimination, go through some apps you have recently installed and check their use. It could also be google play services that is eating up battery. Go to battery in settings and check what's using up the most processes and go from there.

I agree but I can't see any phone apps that look likely from battery stats.

Yes I use the internet on it and social media, but because YOU cannot get this, does not mean it's "nonsense" so little troll, crawl back into your cave and come back when you have something productive to say. That's the problem with XDA lately, full of idiotic posters and members like yourself. :laugh:

And before you said: "moderate to heavy use"
So heavy usage is some calling and texting? In that case: nothing more to add :angel:

QFT :good:

Got to agree with the first poster that 2 days with moderate to heavy use is easily achievable. Screenshots below are with heavy use.
Gotta say though that you are probably seeing different results because of your individual phones. This is my second G3. The first was a dog which luckily I had replaced. They were like chalk and cheese in terms of battery use.
Just waiting for boot loader unlock then I'll root and start optimizing it a bit. At a rough guess I should be able to improve these stats by about 25%.

I have less than 1/2% usage per hour when nothing is going on (ie no screen time) and I'm on wi-fi. 10% is WAY TOO HIGH. There is definitely something going on if you are losing that much while the phone is idle.

I got my phone from Amazon two weeks ago but that doesn't really tell me if it's part of some early 'bad batch' or not.
Does anYone know how you can tell the date of manufacture?
I'm getting better life with the G WAtch off and also wondering if the knock code consumes battery life.
I'm using the GSam battery monitor but the main bulk of usage is by the android system and not any of the apps.
Any more suggestions very welcome.
Thanks.

Something is milking it. I am also on 10G firmware, and I'm getting around two days with moderate to heavy use.

Install better battery stats by Chamonix. Run it for a day then have a look at what is running wakelocks. Then search for fixes or solutions to what ever it shows up.

I'm struggling to find the app you mentioned in the Play Store. Do you have a link?
Thanks for the help.

Let me know how you get on. There are plenty of other things you can try but we'll go about it systematically.[emoji1]

I've installed the setu app but not sure I'm getting much out of it as I'm not rooted and lots of stats just aren't available in the app. I'm a bit loathed to root yet as I'm still undecided about the phone and whether to keep it or send it back as a dodgy one
Do you have any other suggestions for non rooted users?

My battery life on my F460S is much worse than my D850. I think this is because of the phone note being optimized for US networks. I'm waiting for the BL unlock so I can flash a ROM that may fix the issue. My D850 would average 5hrs SOT , but my F460S averages about 3hrs SOT. I'll upload some screens shots a little bit when I get home from classes.
