I'm sure we all know that the battery life on the G Nexus is pretty awful, so let's all go star and comment on the issue so we can get Google's attention!
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=22878
Just scroll all the way down to the bottom and star the issue or leave a comment too.
Done and done... I hope this comes before I need to return the VZ GNex
Hmm, compared to my EVO 4G, I barely had to do anything to this to get the battery life to be very good (estimate 100 -> 0 = 15hours). Maybe I use the screen less than you guys though.
At home, no LTE connection. 5.5 Hours.
On GSM.. battery life is stellar.. keep in mind, like the person who posted above me that if you are in a low signal area your battery will be destroyed searching for signal..
Yeah I don't have LTE where I am either, but I have it forced to CDMA only. Android OS is my battery killer. I usually get around 6 hours before having to plug it up.
I really think that if enough people starred the issue then it will get someones attention! (Crosses fingers)
Please star, but don't comment. There is enough useless comments there already, and everyone gets notified on new comments.

you probably have a rogue app killing your battery. if I let my nexus sit idle with LTE on I get close to 2 and a half days
Hi,
This high Android OS Keep awake time is not specifically about battery life issue.
We are discussing the fact that, because of this, the phone is constantly waking up (wake up state).
And that's should not happen while the device is turned off, for example.
Yes, of course, this will relate to battery life at the end. But, that's not the point of the discussion / bug as everybody has different preference of battery life. One can say 12 hours is enough, while others may say 24 hours is not enough, according their usage pattern.

Yeah I don't think that is the case... even after rebooting it stills is draining even when idle...
i aint charged in 3 days so im all good
This is nothing new. Android is a batt hog, plain and simple. You think google doesnt know this already. Its an "acceptable" item. Where they know about it & it's not the best, but thats what they get if they want a phone thats constantly using the network, has a large HD screen and is so damn good to look at you wont want to put it down.
Quit itchin and get on with it....
I have the extended battery from Verizon so keeping that in mind, my phone lasted 14 hours with 10% remaining with normal use. I stopped testing since I had to go to sleep
By the way I have Beweather and Facebook updating every hour and Pulse updating every 6 hours. I also have endgadget, Cnet, Google currents, Flickr and 500px updating.
So far battery life is a bit lower than I would like but not to a horrible state. definitely going to need the extended battery though. playing around today to see how fast I can kill it.
can't get photo to upload now though for some reason but got 2 hours 10 minutes with 12% remaining. would kinda like to see that as a stat added to phone reviews, minimum battery life. Max is fine but I'd rather know how long it will last with power using.

I'd say battery life was less than great on 4.0.1 but 4.0.2&.0.3 its pretty damn good now my idle usage is next to nothing. 2 days ago i had 47 minutes talk time, 1h38m screen on and about 13-15 hours of idle and still had almost 40% left at midnight.

I think you don't understand.
This is not about battery life, but the high Android OS Keep awake time. Which means your phone was awake when it's turned off.
Obviously, this doesn't happen on my HTC Desire, nor Nexus S with Gingerbread.

I can't speak for battery life on the LTE Nex as i have the HSPA+ version...I've found that the battery life is quite excellent after a few charge cycles...Have gotten 21hrs on a single charge with normal usage...if i'm watchin vids or playin games then im putting my phone on the charger cuz the screen really does eat up battery alot.
I feel like I make a thread for each phone I go through. First Blackberries, then Droid X, now Galaxy Nexus.
I am getting pretty horrible battery drain that is definitely worse than others' Nexuses. I have gone to the extended battery now for a few days, yet in the morning, when I unplug from charger (says 98% but charged?), with brightness only a quarter of the way up from lowest, I can literally watch the percentage (battery number mod in corner) drop one-by-one each minute or a few...So if I am actually using the phone, you can imagine it drops pretty fast. Yesterday, with very very moderate use the phone was still dead within 5-6 hours. It was at the mid-80s within an hour or more. Again, with moderate use.
It is stomach-dropping watching the percentage number just go down and down. Yet my friend's Gnex using the extended battery his first day did not hit 85% yesterday until 5+ hours later. The battery stats page on mine shows nothing with high numbers except Screen and Android OS, so I assume no apps are draining it. I am rooted with unlocked BL, on bigxie's deodexed ROM with softkeys mod, battery percentage mod, and power menu mod. I have 100-something apps and many widgets but no battery draining/updating ones. Others with the same ROM report fine battery.
I believe after using the ext. battery for a couple days, it should be "conditioned" if needed at all, yet I see no improvement.
I'm getting very angry watching this drop.. For example, 40 minutes off the charger with almost NO use except for turning the screen on here and there, I am at 94% battery with Screen at 46%, Android OS at 34%, Phone Idle 11%, Cell Standby 9%, and Android System 2%.
And then 1 hr 20 min in, at 88% battery with 55% Screen, 27% Android OS, 6% Phone Idle, 6% Cell Standby.
This doesn't sound normal right? Keep in mind, those numbers are with almost no phone use..very minimal settings menus visited and one update from Market.
Jesus, literally almost every time or two I turn the screen on just to check these numbers, I see the damn battery percentage drop a number. Not even using the phone how/as much as I normally would be. This is infuriating. Luckily, it doesn't seem to drain much with the screen off.
Quit checking and wait til the bug is fixed and blood pressure stabilizes?
Crazy world, ay?
Update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 with an improved kernel = success.
Use the phone for 1-2 weeks to stablize battery life - mine is better now than it was when I began using it. But the kernel/rom makes a big difference.
Thanks. Any suggestions on with combo to use now? 4.0.3 preferrably I guess.
Then why does my friend on totally stock 4.0.2, non-rooted have that great battery life from the first day using the extended battery?? I'm pretty much basing mine off of his and other's who are getting ridiculously long life. I never understood how it varies SO much. We should all have the same relative to usage.

No. Because no two phones are set up the same. Too many variables to say relatively same usage. For instance, when i go to bed i get 2-3 hours standby per percentage point. Not everybody is going to get that.

Maybe, but the fact that I have no other visible outstanding draining factors, and I get no 4G at home and therefore have it set to CDMA only...I should not be seeing 1% drops almost every time I turn the screen on for more than 30 seconds. Especially with an extended battery.
God forbid I want to use GPS or 4G.

Wow, really? At first glance in all sub-forums I saw about two, if that. I have a legitimate concern, especially when my friend is getting about 4 times better life. Thanks for your help though in the device forum where this 'doesn't belong'.
..And over the course of only a few minutes of the screen being on maybe twice and sending one email, I saw it go from low 82-83 down to 77. ****ing awesome.

You probably have a misbehaving app. Download better battery stats from the android apps and games section here at xda and let it run for a day or so and see what processes are being used the most and what your wakelocks are, etc.
Also, find a 4.0.3 rom with a kernel that can be undervolted and try that out.

Thank you, downloading now and will check it out.
I'll admit I'm using the GSM version so my experiences may not apply but for the first few days my battery life was utter crap.
Its been MUCH improved over the last few days, I dont have the wakelock issue and with the screen off the battery drain is literally only about 3% per hour, and thats with background data on.
YES, the screen DOES use a lot of battery, it isnt really avoidable and is somewhat expected with a 720p 4.6 inch super AMOLED screen.
The one thing I can recommend doing is finding a modded kernel and undervolting that CPU - It seems they've been really rather generous providing power to the thing, I've been able to take off at least 100-150mv across the board.

This - My battery on the stock battery on GSM sucked first few days, and I was really concerned I made a poor purchase. But with the screen on probably 5 or 6 hours of my work day it lives through the day and just enough to get home after that. I can charge it at work too, which I usually do. On my day off it survived 18 hours and still had ~20% battery life left on 4.0.3 AOKP/Francisco.Franco Kernel
From my experience, the battery life isn't bad. I did install the "extended" battery as soon as I bought the phone but is isn't much bigger than the stock battery. I am on stock rooted 4.02. With LTE off I use about 2% per hour in standby. With LTE on it is almost double that (3-4%/hour). I have several widgets running and gps enabled. (wifi when available) I can easily get a 16-18 hour day and have 50% remaining when I go to bed unles I sit around gaming for a couple hours.
I may try a new ROM tonight but I expect it will probably make things worse.
Im running a bone stock setup and im getting 12 -14 hours a day... normally I read posts like the one skiddingus posted and wonder why I never can achieve those readings so i feel your confusion . I do have 4g on and gps off screen is about 1/4 of the way up brightness wise
I am watching this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23272848) in amazement, as people report 24+ hours of battery life, with screen-on time of four, five, or even SEVEN hours!
I can't understand how folks get such great life.
Mine averages about two or three hours of screen time and about 14-18 hours, I'd say. I'm using Blazer 4.0, FB27 modem, and Rogue 1.4 kernel.
I know everybody's usage is different, and also we're all going to get different results due to other factors (signal strength, apps, etc), but I can't understand why the massive difference in battery life!
And I do have an 1800 maH battery.
Note: I do have a handful of apps, but not a whole lot, and I don't think any are destroying the battery. According to BetterBatteryStats, it doesn't look like the phone is having any trouble sleeping. That is, the screen-on time is just slightly lower than the awake time, meaning that the phone is typically sleeping when the screen is off.

With your usage, you feel 14-18 hours of battery is bad??? Id say a day of 16 hours consistently is pretty darn good. Now, I know that I have gotten over a day on battery by using it all day and then forgetting to charge it over night. Sleeping while the phone isnt awake can give some pretty outrageous looking battery life. Again, Id say if you are getting 14-18 hours on one charge, you are doing pretty darn good.
Im lucky if I can get 7-8 with all the "videos" I watch during the day

Well, I understand that when the phone is sleeping, it generally uses very little power -- especially on wifi.
It's mainly the screen-on time that amazes me. How can somebody get seven hours of screen-on time?? Just seems unreal!

Well I am assuming that their 7 hours of screen on time was doing something minor. Then again, these are electronics, and they are all different. He just may have found his perfect set up. But again, if you can get through your day, doing everything you needed to with your phone and lasted 14-18 hours, I would be happy.

disabling fb/twitter sync has helped my bat life improve.
always turning screen off when done rather than letting 1min timer take care of that whenever possible.
wifi is better on battery than 4g/3g. also disable wifi sleep.
other than that.. all comes down to extra 3rd party apps you have and personal usage.
I've never calculated mine all out, but I do get some pretty decent battery life.
Its all about how you use the phone. everyone seems to have there own definition of what "heavy" and "light" usage is but the fact is people getting 14+ hours aren't using there phone all that often. if you want to know how much actual usage time you can get out of the phone check the time the phone has been awake or the time the screen has been on.
for example my g2x goes for about 2 and a half hours of screen on time. my vibrant, 2 hours. havent had the e4gt long enough to see. these numbers of course changes depending on what you're actually doing (data intensive tasks will obviously cause faster drain) but it will give you an idea of how much you can actually use the phone before it dies. if all youre doing is texting here and there and checking email plus maybe 15-20 minutes of games or videos it isnt hard to get through a 10-12 hour day on a single charge. but if youre like me where i spend extended periods of time browsing the net while messaging and texting then the batter is going to die fast regardless of what battery saving tricks people suggest.
I recently removed OfficeSuite Pro 5 and noticed about 15-20% better battery life.
I also removed it from my other android devices and my tablets. Still testing them to see if theres a difference or not but so far it seems a bit better battery life.

I don't know. Just how much can you believe people who are posting on forums that they are not exaggerating? Take for instance the post below where this guy was claiming he got 11 hours of screen on time and STILL had over 50% battery left on stock battery. By far the biggest claim in battery life I have ever seen. And he was insistent on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22293195&postcount=30
All I'm saying is take what people are saying about amazing battery life with a grain of salt.
I average about 3 hours screen on time, and occasionally get over 4 hours with ~24 hours total time. But if my signal isn't the greatest, like when I'm at work, I get probably 1.5 hours screen on time and 17 hours total time.
I'm currently at 14h 41m with display on for 2h 36m and still have 47% battery left (I'm on stock rooted EL29).

I've had mine for 3 days, and this seems to be fairly consistent with the results that you're getting. after 1 day and 8 hours, I'm at 19%. slightly above yours, but not worryingly so. Im going to drain it down to 2-1%, and then charge it back up to 100% again. I believe if you do that for 5 charging cycles, it should be totally recalibrated. That said, you do not want to bring your battery that low on a constant basis, as it can damage lithium ion batteries.
I also use Battery Monitor Widget Pro, which gives a fairly accurate representation of how the battery is doing. I certainly recommend checking it out, for those of you who are starting to use the ZeroLemon battery.

after 2 days and 3 hours, I downloaded a battery drainer. The battery percentage was at 1% for a total of 12 hours, from 9pm yesterday, to about 9am this morning. I was able to continue watching Netflix and listen to Spotify at 1% both for about 2 hours respectively in that time frame. When I got into work this morning, I used the battery drainer for about 25 seconds before the phone finally quit on me and shut off the phone. I guess that means that Android is still trying to calibrate to the battery.
With all of that said, once you get down below 5% the phone shuts off the ability to manually adjust the screen brightness, and the stock music player will no longer allow you to play music (which is kind of a bummer, as I do have about 15 gigs of music on the phone, and had to switch to using Spotify on my bus ride home....through the Lincoln Tunnel). I don't know what else the phone shuts off, yet. I'll be sure to do a more in depth look next time it gets down that low...which may take another 2-3 days...

What was your screen on time tho
I've had my ZL battery since release (pre-order), I use it on and off. It still hasn't adjusted to having the larger battery. When it gets down to 3% I bump the corner and it resets the phone giving me 30+% more.
It still lasts way longer than stock, so that's good. I just wish the phone would show the correct battery level.

If I understand your question correctly, you're asking whether or not the phones been rebooted? If so, none. During that time of 4 days + hours, the phone went to standby mode when not in use. So I haven't turned off the auto standby mode off to leave the "screen on continously."
Just wanted to post a typical day for me. I play a game called ingress, it's a real battery hog.
The spike is a trick I do. When the phone gets really low it dims the screen and enters a power save mode. This sucks for playing a game in the day light... The trick is to give it a quick whack in the upper left corner, it moves the battery just enough to do a quick reset. You could do it manually, but sometimes that changes the battery history.

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S8+ before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I'm averaging 5.5, sometimes near 6 lately. Not bad for stock.

Amazing battery life on the s8+
Battery life has been a bit inconsistent. Usually I get around 4 or 5 hours screen on time, though honestly my habit with all my phone Shas been to charge them whenever possible. If I'm driving, I set it on the mount and plug it in. If I'm at home or work and not using it, I plug it in (or in this case set it on the wireless charger). But I was fairly unimpressed with the S8+ battery life.
Yesterday and today, I turned on the medium battery power setting. It seems to have increased my screen on time dramatically, but I'm also at home and on wifi.
Medium decreases screen brightness by 10%, sets resolution to FHD+, underclocks by 30%, and turns off the AOD. Of these, the only thing I miss is the AOD, but it also seems to make the most difference in battery life.
Either way, my battery life today is much better. So far I've had almost five and a half hours of screen on time and 54% battery remaining. That's all surfing the internet, posting here, texting my wife, taking a few photos, and a little Facebook. I'd say that is fairly impressive.
I'll see how the battery holds out Monday when I'm away from wifi, driving through varying cell tower coverage areas. I'll also check how it is if I turn the AOD back on. I do like the AOD.
Really good for a stock rom
Bat Rom & Noto.
Could of got to 10hrs but was playing with themes which require reboots.

Do you notice any decreases in performances with the underclocking? Or are things still fairly snappy?

I don't notice any performance issues at all with it underclocked. But I don't do any gaming either, so that may be an issue for others.

On wifi or LTE because it seems impossible to reach those numbers for me.
