Battery Saver Mode Experiences

Hows the battery life you guys are experiencing with the mango update in general with and without battery saver mode on
is battery saver mode making a big difference?
im using battery saver for when the battery gets low and im noticing a bit of a stretch of extra battery life on my htc trophy (verizon)
when u turn battery saver mode on doesnt that disable notifications push and toast?
i know i havent tried the battery saver mode on the whole day to notice any difference just wanted to see if anybody else has yet and what kinda life are u getting on battery saver mode on all the time and when the battery gets low

well for the one day that I left my charger at home by accident when going to school I turned on battery saver mode and was able to make it through the entire day with my normal use habits with about 30% remaining once I got home. this was when I was on 7712 haven't done this on the official yet.

My 7720 experience was pretty horrid with battery life until I got the Samsung update on Tuesday. I went from barely making it 10-12 hours on a charge to 18-24 hours. I can get up to 1.5 hours with battery saver turned on.

For the first couple of days, I left my status set to "online" the entire day, and my battery barely lasted through the day (around 15 hours). Battery saver mode came on after about 13 hours, or it wouldn't have lasted.
Today I set myself to offline, and last time I checked it (after around 8 hours of normal use), it showed 80%. So it seems pretty clear to me that overall, Mango battery life is very good, but keeping yourself online is a killer.

Battery saver mode works pretty well for me... I love it... Thank god its inbuilt and I didn't had to download another one dollar application to do this thing.. Things like this should be inbuilt .. Also adding additional tile shortcuts of any kind we want..

Haven't tried it. Battery life went down noticeably but I have chargers everywhere. I stay online all day. If I wasn't online in message hub I'd be online in some other app so why not. On Android my gtalk is always on as well. Don't see this phone lasting a day for me with or without battery saver, lol.

I'm still debating about staying online all day. Most of the people I chat with on Facebook are online in the evening, but not so much during the day.
But I love the battery saver option. When I was online all day, and it did kick in toward the end of the day, I observed the battery usage drop to a mere trickle (it only lost around 1-2% per hour after that). So, without having to change anything, I can be assured that my phone will still be available in an emergency.

at full charge my venue pro shows me around 3 days and 18 or so hrs...with battery saver i get 3 more added...best part is i play music moderately, use the radio, wifi on all the time and at the days end it stil shows around 2 days and 12 hrs or so time left....is somthing wrong cos when i first bought the phone, 15 hours was the maximum i got for the phone.....

plug in charge usb messenging hub locks up
has anybody had this happen?
when your phone is in battery saver mode and you plug it in it becomes unresponsive and kind of locks up. messages and emails don't send or receive.
only way it ever happens for me:
if i was in a message and i plug into usb computer or wall outlet power the phone cant switch back from a message to the list of messages, i cant send the message that is typed, i cant type, and no messages are received (or show up after a reset) i can go back home but every time i try to do something it says loading and closeshas happened for a year now

Battery life for me in Mango and 8107 (or whatever the latest update is called) has been pretty awful. I recently did a hard reset.
Post hard reset, a full charge would say 1D 4hours or something
After a few weeks, a full charge now says 18 hours, but lasts considerably less.
By noon my phone is at 50%, if I don't charge it, it hits battery saver mode by the time I leave (6pm). That's with taking it off the charger at 7am, and barely using it. Pretty horrible.
I'm seriously considering a BlackBerry. WP is great and all, but it's just not built for business use. And I need a battery that can last more than 10 minutes.

Sounds like you have a bad battery. My titan is at about 72% after an 8 hour day with lots of email use and some browsing / texting through the day. (i check 7 email account and exchange and hotmail are both push) Currently at 10pm mine still says 52% and estimates 10 more hours use. Now if i were to play a game for an hour or more i'd probably kill it but for browsing and more business like use... it can't be beat. My old surround lasts about 16 hours with wifi on unless my wife games it to death.

First day with galaxy nexus

I have had this phone for less then 24hr and I love it. But I have been very conscious about the battery life and I feel that it drops every time I turn it on. I fully drained the 40% when it came with it in about 2 hours and today after letting it charge fully then taking it off at 100% for the rest of the night I lost 16% in about 7 hours. Since I woke up from 730-1130 I have went from 84%-50% off doing basically nothing. Edit (41% after I typed this post)
GPS-off
Wifi- off after I woke up at 7
Sync-on
Social-update once an hour
Email- once an hour

The battery needs a few charging cycles to achieve peak performance. I have a GSM nexus and the battery life has been excellent with default syncing.

After reading sfasu's post, it does make sence. I had mine for about 2 weeks...first few days the power dropped FAST. But now it has improved! I listened to music and played games while on 1hr subway ride today and it went down only a small amount....2 weeks ago it went down to 50%.

please note that the battery life performance experience differs with the CDMA and GSM version.
GSM version will get better battery life than the CDMA version due to the power hungry LTE chip.
like the other posters have said, wait a few days for the device to calibrate battery and assess battery life from then on.

The poster above makes a great point. I'd also like to add though that with my cdma version I turn LTE off and it seems to help battery life. I don't need LTE speeds while running Google nav.

If I leave my idle with the screen off and LTE ON I only lose ~ 20% over 8 hours. But if I have the screen on it seems like I lose almost 1% every minute or two.

as it's been said, if you have the LTE version, that will severely drop your battery even just email and basic sync can use massive amounts of charge on LTE.
if you have the GSM version, then most likely you just need to cycle the battery a few more times, or you have something in the background using more battery than it should.

I think at the end of the day the screen is always going to soak up more power than anything else. Any savings due to settings and updated firmware is going to be very minor.

Ya battery definitely adjusted. Getting about 24 hours a charge now.

Lumia 900 Battery Life

Its bound to come up.
For the week prior to the shipping of the pre-order units, conversations with AT&T reps were almost always the same. Love the phone, I moved from iPhone to this phone, its dam fast, the battery sucks.
I got my phone Friday morning around 10ish. I charged fully, went to AT&T to swap my chip over and I let the battery drain. Since then, the battery life is barely tolerable.
I use the same process all the time on all my phones. No charge until I go to bed at night...usually 11. I take it off the charge when I wake...usually 5ish. I read the news, etc for the next 20 minutes. I then go to work, charging until I get to work. I arrive at work around 7ish, with a full charge. And I go all day. Even on weekends I do this.
The Lumia 900 battery was not lasting through the day.
I go to plug in the phone last night, and I noticed its almost fully charged. I checked to see if this was my phone, which is stupid becase we only have 1 lumia.
So this morning, my usual routine, phone was fully charged and off the charger at 6:45. Its now 9:20, so ~2.5 hrs. The charge is at 98%. I know it gets better with time, but it usually takes a week or so....this is good news for battery hounds.

Day 5:
6 hours off the charger
Tons of email and messages
about 1 hours of Peoples tab and Internet
2 15 minutes phone calls
Battery at 79%
Is that good?
Ok, finishing my 8 hr day, well, actually 9 hrs. Came in the door at 100%.
Phone Calls: 4 for a total of 1 hr.
Text/Messaging: Alot, in the hundreds.
Social/Internet viewing: about an hour.
Battery Charge out the door: 66%
I guess that works for me.

Sounds like it. My focus would have been at 50% by then.

Everywhere I read says the battery types in our phones do not have memory and do not need primed. That said I was in panic mode yesterday when I picked it up from At$t. Phone stated it was at 15%, I drained it setting up the phone and finished it off with WPBench. It only took about 1.5 hours for it to say it was 100% charged with 1 day 15 hours till needing recharged. Once off the charger I made a call to my mom to see how I sounded. Call lasted about ~8 minutes. Once off the phone it said I had 79% charge left. This was around noon. I was able to make it to 830pm with 9% charge left, that's when I connected it to the charger.
Today, a full day of work, with an office inside a warehouse (horrible connection 1 bar'ish) I listen to music stored on phone via the phone's speaker at level 1 (same as level 10 on my Focus) for 8+ hours and played Wordament a few times and had about 30 emails, 17 text messages. I have 3 active background tasks, and 18 advance background task. I'm home now with 23% (2 hours remaining, 11 hours since last charge) charge remaining. All %'s and time is from the battery saver tab of the phone.
I'm still undecided on the phone's battery life. I suspect that a firmware update may be needed like the 800 to fix the accuracy of battery meter on the NL900.
I would like to hear from others and to see this become a thread in progress to help decide if the phone is displaying the correct information concerning the battery.
P.S> Turned phone off and back on, it now states 32% remaining (4 hours). I think the phone will need a firmware update to stabilize the battery meter.

It goes through the same routine as my Surround, and so far today, and my battery is at 61% where my Surround would have been <30%. Whether it was just old, bad hardware, whatever... My Surround had terrible battery life. This phone is much better by comparison, which exceeds my expectations.

Good plan...better than my last phone, Check! End of Checklist.

I have noticed that the battery life is no where near what I expected based on all the reviews and threads I am reading about it being great. I hope it gets better over time given that its only 4 days old.
I charged the phone fully overnight and took it off the charger at 9AM. I have taken a short 5 minute call, sent a few texts, 10 minutes of browsing the web. I have 2 email accounts set to push (outlook and gmail), bluetooth off, wifi on, signal is a little weak in the house so I'm sure that diminishes the battery some due to the radio having to poll for the signal all the time. As of right now I am at 11%. That's 8.5 hours of minimal use.
One thing I noticed is that I do see, when viewing the Battery Status page in the diagnostics tool, the current discharge seems to get pretty high without touching the phone. It will go from 100 mA to approx 600 mA, hover around 300 then back down to 100 mA and repeat this cycle over and over.
Can it be that push is not set up correctly with Gmail? On the iPhone I remember having to set it up as an additional exchange account to get push to work correctly.

Coming from the iPhone 4S, I'm getting less battery with the Lumia. I'm fairly certain it has to do with my phone swapping from 4G to LTE all day long while I'm at work, even though when I have LTE reception its full bars. Hopefully a firmware update comes out that will either fix this issue or let me turn off LTE entirely.

LTE can't be switched off manually ? I assume its a similar situation with GSM/HSDPA switching up all the time.. it drains my battery as well, so that is why I keep it locked on either EDGE or HSDPA. There should be an option to turn off LTE if you don't need it, especially considering AT&T's LTE coverage isn't all that good yet.

I think that's my issue as well. At home for some reason I get a very weak signal (1 bar of 4G) and I think its burning a lot of juice trying to maintain the signal. About a mile away from the house I get full bars on LTE.

I am loving the battery life on the lumia.
Then again I was using the skyrocket before this..
I've used both my 4s and lumia today.
iPhone's at 63%
Lumia's at 70%
The only thing that kills my battery is internet sharing (duh).

Nokia is Battery god
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA

My Lumia is clearly having issues with battery calibration- could someone help me out with a test?
With all my other Windows Phones, if the battery runs down, the phone gracefully goes to about 2-4% (as shown in battery saver) and displays "goodbye" and shuts off. This is what is supposed to happen. With my Lumia 900, it goes to 0% and I get about another 30 minutes or so of heavy usage (in my case, streaming video/downloading apps/etc). The Lumia then just shuts off. No "goodbye", just straight to black and needs to be plugged in.
Can someone run the battery out on their 900 and tell me if they get a graceful shutdown or not? Clearly, my battery is showing much more depletion than actually exists, and I'd like to see if this is unique to me.
Thanks!

I ran down my Lumia last night, and it did NOT do a graceful shutdown.
For the record, I think my battery life has been fantastic. Yesterday was day 2 for me, so I've still been playing with the phone constantly. My phone was removed from the charger at 7:30am, played with non-stop, (easily 4-5 hours of screen-on time, I'd estimate,) played about 2 hours of light gaming (words by post and doodle god,) and just short of 2 and a half hours of meetings over bluetooth. My phone didn't die until just after 11:00 last night.
Once my usage evens back out, I don't think I'll have any problem at all getting 2 days out of the phone.
For reference, my GSM Galaxy Nexus would have died in the same amount of time under normal (pretty light) use. My Lumia has been doing double-duty, as I'm usually using my Kindle Fire for bathroom breaks, and I've been using the Lumia in there, as well... So, I'm impressed.

doesn't the verge give that nexus god status? If so, you're blaspheming. Bravo on the battery life!

I happened to have been at the store to pick up some corporate devices. We're mostly an iOS shop with some Androids and Blackberries in between. I'm probably the only person that has a Windows Phone 7 device. Anyway, while I was there, I happened to bump into the Nokia rep for the store so we chatted for a bit and we discussed the device and what I like and don't like about it. He informed me that in order for the Lumia to get a full charge, you need to use the charger that came with it. Specially for the first 5-6 times. It apparently outputs at a different wattage then most charging devices and that any other charger will only charge the battery to around 70% even though it would show it at 100 on the screen. The Lumia charger will also bring the 900 to 90% charge from a dead battery state in about an hour.
For those experiencing the dismal battery life try charging with the Lumia charger instead of your other chargers. I was doing the same thing since I had tons of micro-usb chargers from my other device. I'm going to try now to see if what he was saying is true. YMMV

This is true with WP7 devices across the board, and especially true with Mango devices. Using the $1.95 amazon throw in car charger, doesn't seem to work.
I've been able to successly use the Dell Venue Pro and the Samsung charger interchangibly with all my devices with the same impact. Amazon special...not so much.
The Nokia's rep was a standard CYA response they always give, but in this case its pretty true. At the very least check the outputs on the charger you are using and insure its equal or better than the Nokia/Samsung ones.
Good Call out.

Battery is ok better than my dvp by a slight bit
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

The Lumia Battery life probably drained faster than other phone because of its 4G - LTE capabilities. I actually have a blackberry and I usually used it for 2 days without charge. I now switch to Lumia and have the same difficulties to maintain the phone's battery life to maximum. I have been playing with my phones for several days and it last up till 7 p.m with 2 hours of browsing. 20 texts and emails, and also playing games for 1 hour and a phone call for about an hour.

I have an interesting perspective. I got the phone on Friday, and fully charged overnight. Saturday the phone lasted about 15 hours before it drained. I'm now traveling in Brasil, and yesterday after 15 hours I had 48% left. The big difference here is in Brasil there is no LTE, so I'm roaming on regular data, but used the phone for a lot of emails and texts.
I'm happy so far with the batter!

Galaxy Note 2 Battery Life

So I just got my Note 2 this week and I'm only getting about 9hrs of use before hiring 30%. I checked a bunch of reviews and they were saying they usually got a day in a half with moderate use. How about u guys? How long are u guys getting of of your phone? Are u rooted? Using a juice app? Is an SD card inserted? How long does it take for your battery to recharge?

Use search button before opening a new thread?

I have to charge it in between, but I am always on it. Still the best battery life I have gotten out of a phone since razr maxx.

I've been getting 1.5 to 2 days on mine with my normal usage.
I spent a few days at my in laws where I used it a solid 8 hours near continuously and ran it down to 15%.
I was in an area of no cell coverage and had wifi calling running all day.

16 hours yesterday with moderate to high usage. 40 minutes calls, 25 sms, 6 mms, 10 photos + retouching, 3 app updates, 1 install and a total of about 3-4 hours greader/browser reading. Wifi on, 3g on, power saving on and sync on. Display brightness between lowest and 50%. Display on time 48%. 19% battery remaining. Stock international version, unrooted. No LTE.
I have no idea how long it takes to charge. Sorry.
Trivia: The word "Nomofobi" (swedish) or "Nomophobia!?" (English) has been added to the Swedish dictiodary. It is the fear of running out of juice on your mobile phone!
My nomophobia disappeared with the purchase of my Note II.
I hope you sort your battery issues out.

Question, those with insane battery life, are you rooted? The first day I got the phone, it had 16 hours before going down to 5% battery life, and I had about 6 hours of screen time. I wasn't rooted.
I rooted yesterday, and the battery life today was about 12 hours, and its at about 20% battery life.
I was curious, maybe rooting the phone has a parasitic effect on the battery. All I did was remove T-Mobile's bloat ware, nothing else.

I don't see any difference in battery life pre-rooting and post-rooting. I consistently average around 16-20 hrs depending on usage. Typical day use for me is to take it off the charger at 6 am, then I usually have 1 to 2 hrs streaming on 3g, another 2 hrs streaming on wifi - all using Plex. Youtube about 1 hr, maybe 1-3 calls lasting 5 mins avg., 1 hr playing games, and about 1-2 hrs browsing internet. I'm not a heavy texter or gmail, since usually I can do that on my laptop at work.
I usually don't put the phone back on the charger until around 12 or 1 am, with about 14% left. I usually have wifi on, gps on, sync on, brightness level around 10-20% except outdoors (then it's full brightness), power saving mode on, and screen time out at 1 minute.

I had realized that I had the brightness set to full brightness since early in the morning lol. All in all, I don't know any phone that would last all day with full brightness and doing all I did.

Terrible battery life.

Hi,
I have a note 7 and for the past couple days the battery has been abysmal. Averaging 3 hours of screen on time. Also, the phone constantly gets hot (especially outside) that it has to lower maximum brightness to keep the device from overheating. With the phone on standby, overnight with always on display OFF, I will drain 10% of the battery.
Do any other note 7 users get this? I even drained 5% typing this post.

I dont have this problem. Battery life is pretty solid for me. Getting more on screen time then my iphone 6s plus!

Same here, I'm at less than 2 hours SOT and at 32% left. That and keyboard lag issues have me kind of unimpressed so far. At least I have a 14 day return policy. I'll have to see how it lasts during this work week.

Sounds like faulty units. I'm at 6 and a half hours of screen on time and 35% battery life remaining, on a snapdragon model. No battery saving features active, WiFi, location services, Bluetooth, AOD, everything on. Even watched a movie at 100% brightness to see how it'd affect the battery life. Phone stayed pretty cool although out.

That's the opposite for me. My 6S Plus gets >5 hours of SOT, the note gets 3< hours.
Sounds like I've got a defective unit. Congrats Samsung Quality Control.

I get around 5h sot time but i also have bluetooth on and a few other things. I'm pretty happy

Right now I am at 5h 46m SOT and have 16% battery left. Not fantastic like the moto z force, but much better than my S7e I dumped after a couple weeks because of the horrible android OS battery drain.

Here's my battery life. I've had the phone since Thursday. It's close to what I got on my iPhone 6 Plus. This was with light gaming, Facebook, texting, Facebook Messenger, Reddit and Tapatalk. Not bad if you ask me. My brightness is on auto, I do use the iris scanner and the screen is in cinema mode.
PS: I'm on AT&T with the SD820.

Replace it sounds like a dud. I get 5 6 hours sot. I went 20 hours 30 minutes from a 100percent charge at 1am to having 23 percent left at 9pm. 5 hour sot. Another poster says he got 8 hours sot. By using the medium power save mode.

100 to 23% in 20hrs while the phone was into deep sleep? that sounds like a faulty unit

I get 10pc per hour. V similar to note 5. Not great but i am a heavy user running BT for my LG smartwatch and wifi all day as cell signal is poor at my office.

I actually have had much better battery life than my S7E. Its odd but I think the slight revision of Touch wiz fixed some things. I also put Facebook and Messenger to sleep because they are the absolute worst at battery consumption.
Its worth stating that in week one, the phone is still cache prioritizing, cleaning up its IOPS etc. Not worth measuring for a while. But I am skeptical because My S7E was great for a while too. Its the sammy curse. Eventually you just have to factory reset to get your phone back.

Sounds like you need to reset your phone and start again

Same here, I'm at less than 2 hours SOT and at 32% left. That and keyboard lag issues have me kind of unimpressed so far. At least I have a 14 day return policy. I'll have to see how it lasts during this work week.

I'm not having this issue at all. I navigated for 2+ hours with the screen at full brightness and didn't burn up that much battery. I wasn't tracking it but if things dont get better for you, I'd say try swapping it out for a new one. You might have a physical issue with your battery.

I am on the same boat. Seeing like 7% per hour. Averaging about 4.48 min of SOT
