About the Galaxy W Battery - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

How long should the Samsung Galaxy wonder Battery last for with continuous usage for web browsing and twitter for example ?
Or how long should it last for complete stand by ?
I am asking because I bought a new Galaxy W and the battery last only for very few hours with the usage mentioned above , and I wanna know if this is normal or I have to replace it ?
Thanks in advance

Do the first time 8 hours charge, and only recharge it if only a few % left(best if charging it after it is out of battery and shut down by itself), you may use battery saver application( eg Juice Defender, Go Power Master) as well

Thanks for info MyDeSTiNaTe ,
I have bought it about 12 days ago , and didn't charge it for 8 hours as you said , Am I supposed to do that now , and may this affect the battery life positively ?
Also please read my reply to other member here in the forum may be you can help me in that
But I am still very disappointed from the battery life ,
what makes me so disappointed is that I compared my Galaxy W Battery with Galaxy fit Battery , in a life experiment making exactly the same thing on both phones ( open wifi and download from the market ) , My Galaxy W take about 3-4 minutes for the battery to decrease by 1% , while the Galaxy fit takes about 30 minutes to decrease this 1% .
The owner of the Galaxy fit told me that may be the reason is that I have 1400 processor while he has only 600 processor , and the faster the processor the less the life battery , I don't know whether what he says id right or wrong .
So I am still confused whether to take it to the warranty or it is normal ,
Can you or anyone tell me whether the experiment result is normal or I have to go to the warranty ?

Thank you MyDeSTiNaTe

It depend on rom that you use and how often you use your phone. I think cm9 by arco is the best performance & battery life compare with stock rom. I installed cm9+juice defender, my battery about 16 hours. I use it very often, autosync whatsapp, YM & reply emails. I use stock rom before, I only get less 10 hours.
Sorry my English is bad, I hope everyone knows what I mean.

Not necessary.
You'll need to do 2 or 3 complete battery cycle (that is : charge until full, then let it run out until the phone shuts down) before the battery indicator gets accurate.

Yea, the 8 hours matter is just for first time charging after you bought the phone, after that just try not to charge it until it got a few % left

Look at my battery, lasted for 2 days with web browsing and frequent gaming.

Average use for me almost 2 days.

Nope, Mutant Rom

For me the best Rom is F.A.W Release 2.
Awesome speed, awesome Battery life time, and I don't care about the design, which is Stock..
All in all, nice Rom, I'd definetly recommend it !
CM9 worked good too for me... but never as good as FAW Rls2 (talking about the Battery life time..!)
I'd also recommend you to Underclock your Phone when it's locked.
I have the following Set Up.
Screen on:
100-800MhZ
Screen Off:
100-200MhZ
Charging:
100-300MhZ [300 MhZ cause sometimes I use my phone a bit while it's charging. 100MhZ is definitly too low to write a Message via WhatsApp (well of course it's possibly, but seriously... who wants to wait minutes to answer on a message..?)]
That works out great.
I recommend this app/widget to set the Settings.
I think 1,4 GhZ is alot already... So I clocked it down.
And as I hardly play games, I don't need the speed...
Works great to Phone, Text messages (whatsapp etc.) Facebook, Browser etc.
Good Luck
Btw.

Minimal usage of the phone.
Not letting any background apps running.
screen off..
No widgets and Live wallpapers running

No widgets..?
That means no Phone for me... I mean, even the Clock is a Widget..!
I have like 0-2 Apps running in the Background. But I try to remove them always... But sometimes I just forget about that, cause Im kinda distracted with other things or whatever.
Screen Off...
Sound like the Phone is only turned on, but nothing is used. Well than it can last that long.
But people say they're surfing on the internet, playing smal games, chatting and what ever else... And If they're battery lasts about 2 Days, and they stil have some Percents left thats awesome..!
But honestly, 22 hours is enough for me. I don't play games, only texting, googling things and FB etc. And Im at home everyday, so Im always able to charge my Phone at the evening
And here comes a Question..:
Is the SGW's Battery the same in every Country? I mean, I bought mine in Germany, as I live here. But is it possible that the Americans (for example) have more Amperes than the german version ? Maybe that can cause big battery life time differences..?

Yea, all the capacity will be 1500mAh (unless you buy a bigger capacity battery from other manufacturers), anyway the weather may affect the battery life a bit

Dont ask this.
Cm7 is set up to go to deep sleep after 10 seconds of the device beiing locked, 'normally' this is about 10 minutes, but battery life is the same, or its a bit less..
So thats only to not drain it even faster, and cm9 has this even more, maybe thats a reason why samsung doesnt give it to our gio's, it also has touchwiz, so battery life would be very very bad
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Actually battery life on Gio is not always bad because of ROMs (but ROMs of course sometimes are the main reason for it).
It's battery problem,and to be more exact,capacity problem.Stock battery capacity is something about 1350 mAh,there are batteries from third party vendors that have 1850 or something like that,I'm going to buy one of these,if I will be able to find it in my city of course
Also tried the battery improval script from here.It works,for real.All day with wi-fi,3G,screen on 100% when viewing something,and had an hour of gameplay in Angry Birds.Battery right now still keeps working,15%.
Cm9 gives me garbage battery life. I charge it during the night, take it off at 7 AM. No 3g (only when i need it), a bit of wifi, moderate texting all day, no games, some music in the morning on the way to school, at 5pm its practically dead. I used to get 50h battery life stock, now i get 18 if im lucky.
Its worth the sacrifice though!!

Horrible Horrible Battery Life

Hi guys im wondering who else have a really really battery life, it drops so quick :S
i have brightness low,and seems its draining fast. i tried stock for a little and seems it drops not so fast but still fast, i compare with my old evo and wow was a beast it can last tooo long before drop 1% and htc one X its giving me so much issues i tried insert one coin, and im now on leedroid (seems better) i have to get juice defender ( i never have to use) using hard my old phone (EVO 3D) drops like 50% in 4 hours of Hard use, 2.5 hours bluetooth headsetplaying music, some browsing, whatsapp, twitter and facebook. sometimnes drop 60% its not so bad, perhaps yesterday in almost the same time and doing a lot less drop from 70% to 0% idk what happening or if this is normal because screen? anyone has this issue?
or maybe we can do a "test" maybe playing a video for 30 min or something wifi on, just to test.
Maybe could be my radio? im using HK htc one X in mexico, the 3G works great perhaps could drain more battery?
Any help i will apreciate thanks a lot, i love the phone but this sucks
Regards
How long have you using HOX. I am getting 1 day of battery life after heavy use.
Have you tried battery test, or safe mode?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i have +/- 40 hours, average use,
its like my sensation, with 1730mAh battery (well in my sensation with bricked kernel i have +/- 50 hours)
wow make me feel like my battery its faulty (hope no)
well i have been using for 1 day i hope last well the next days LOL my warranty its void due unlocked bootloader xD damn i hope works well i will try charge when the phone its off, i should try make a "battery tester" i mean maybe some benchmarks? like doing some stuff and see how much battery drops, decoding and so on maybe for one hour and compare between phones to see if you have issues or something, no one has done something like that?
Thanks a lot i really like the phone i hope its just something to get fixed soon

Drain the battery completely and then charge for at least 8 or more hours, use the phone as normal and let it drain completely again and then charge for a minimum of 3 hours, after a couple of days it should last longer and if you can or need to upgrade to the latest OTA then do so.

well that is not really helping him is it. no point you telling him you getting that kinda of use of out the battery..it is like rubbing it in his face
but anyway 3g does drain battery specially if the signal is low and it is trying to find the best possible signal for you. only use it when you need it. same goes for wifi. for wifi i would have it to sleep when screen is off.
have a look in the battery stats thread and few people give tips in there on how to extend the battery life mate.

maybe coincidence idk maybe has something to do, any Radio to flash? or firmware? (safe and tested one please xD)

if i was you i would not let it drain completely..let it die down to say 5% i would then fully charge it like overnight. then go here install that apk and once you have fully charged let the battery drain again. once it drains to say 15% check what wakelocks you have. that will help you see where the issue lies and the battery gets drained..better explanation on the thread i gave you the link of mate

if your carrier still shows that you have updates then i would say do that as well mate. radio as far as i know we can not flash just as yet as we need s-off to do that so your best bet is the OTA if you are not on the latest firmware
Wait & see what the battery lasts like after a couple of days of charge & discharge, mine was poor on the first day.
I always try to charge mine up over night & my battery lasts on average 40 - 48 hours now.
The other day i had wi fi on & gps on read some of a book, 3 or 4 calls 5 messages & used a gps app for a while had just over 2 hours of screen on time & after 14 hours still had 60% battery left.
There is no reason why your phone wont get that after a couple of days, hope it is the case for you
Estoy orgulloso que tenemos mexicanos que tienen un One X
Hopefully as updates come, battery life will improve
I´ve been using the HOX for 5 days and it does get better after you run some cycles, but I still find it´s not as good as the battery life on the GS2 I used to have (I was running the Illusion rom).
With the GS2 I would leave the brightness at full blast, I would watch about 1 hour of video, I would use the calendar a lot, I would make a couple of calls and by 19h when I got home my battery would be around 80%. I do the exact same things on the HOX and I get a little less than 70% at the end of the day.

Battery use playing heavy games

Hi you lucky S3 owners. Could someone please tell me what the average use per hour is playing a game like:
Modern Combat 3
NOVA 3
Shadowgun
Please some info.
Thanks for taking your time.
Seems like no one plays games??
Brilliant
Since being a heavy S2 user i was never to impressed with its battery life (May have been caused by running a custom rom?) but i have a noticed a hugely significant improvement since using my S3 and it seems to handle games like a charm, Runs them extremely smooth and doesn't seem to drain the battery at all, I play NOVA:3 for hours on end and it only seems to take about 15% battery for an hour and half of playing, which I think is pretty good
Battery is brilliant on heavy games and multi tasking.after 3-5 cycles on charge, the battery and quad core really makes the phone fly with minimum drain.
@klinkso
Remember to calibrate the battery, after flashing.this can improve battery drastically on heavy drain

I would be happiest person if my battery can resist the usage of 8 hours.
Stats i posted above were without any usage. I charged my battery 100% before i go for sleep. And morning when i wake up battery would have drained. All 3 days stats i posted above are just over night stat without any usage.

My stock battery doesn't last very long as well. If I keep the display on all the tine with WiFi it'll only last about 2 and a half hours

You can try downloading BetterBatteryStats from the market and see whats REALLY draining your battery. If its the display , you can only reduce the brightness to the minimum and turn off auto brightness. If its Wifi , you can lower the scan time (iirc some options from Supercharger and Autokiller can do this for you) . That mostly helps if you dont have an active Wi-Fi connection .
However i think TC has a faulty battery...theres really only one way to fix that...
BBS can tell you what part of the android system is draining your battery , but i dont that will help much
I can generally keep my phone on standby for about a day and a half, with it not being used of course.
If you're sure you don't have a rouge application eating your resources, causing your battery to drain faster than it should, then you were supplied with a faulty battery pack. Margin of error is inevitable with mass produced products. In this case, you should buy a replacement battery pack off ebay or amazon, preferably with it listed as being the official/genuine product.
My stock battery was giving up after a year so i bought the mugen 1800 and with very little use i can prolly get it to 4-5 days before recharge but on average in lasts 2 days.....with very heavy usage like gaming for 5h and surfing the net for 2 its down to 35% at the end of the day so...........

Might also be any new apps you've installed recently. This happens to me all the time, so I go back and check what apps I've installed recently and remove them and that solves the problem. Or it might be a new rom?

Worried about battery life

I am a heavy texter with medium to low wifi usage. Sometimes I play games on my cell (Everlands) & last night I did some chatting.Usually battery last about a day but sometimes it goes down like after 16hrs which is quite low for what I have heard about this phone. Any way to identify the problem is ?
Maybe that is because I did not really charged uninterrupted on the first day due to constant loadshedding here in my city (about 1.5 hr gap in charging). I've heard Better battery stats is a good way of locating draining problems but I couldn't really understand it well enough to use it to my advantage.
Also I have set my brightness to lowest most of the time so thats quite surprising. Also net usage is mostly web browsing, no google maps or auto sync feature enabled as far as I know. Any tips about locating the problem ? Could hard reset possibly solve this issue ? Anyway my phone is less than 1 month old (3 weeks old) so should I consider taking it to service centre & getting battery replaced. Please help.

The battery is calibrating within 3 weeks if the phone is new (5-10 charge cycles) so the problem might not be a real one.
Are you on stock rom, stock kernel?
IF not, do you have kernel with overclock capabilities (titanium kernel, kiss kernel)?

The calibration thing sounds interesting. Everything is on stock. The phone is unrooted though I once thought of rooting it & rebooted the phone in recovery. How much does the battery last for u ? Right now battery has gone from 100 to 86% in 12hrs with somewhat lighter usage. Is this normal ?

I'm having 48% after 10 hours with screen on at 61% but it is like this because i plugged in to my computer last night to put something on the sdcard.
In general your informations are alright, that is a fairly good battery life. Remember that you have a smartphone with gpu and cpu, and it is normal to eat battery even if when you don't play with it because it makes stuff in the background.
The great battery life i got at 3 days with 50% screen on, wifi, calls, sms at 10-15% but not on stock, using CM9/Paranoid Android and tweaked kernel for better battery life .
In conclusion, don't worry about it. Your battery is fine!
If you really want better battery life try flashing a custom kernel like KISS or Titanium and undervolt your CPU.
I managed to undervolt mine alot (-300mV while idle) and battery life increased to almost 3-4days, which is really impressive compared to 1.5days it lasted before.

How could you undervolt that low? It doesn't freeze your phone? At what frequency did you undervolt this low?

Its usually 1-1.5 days for me,its always on eater wifi or mobile network.
And i text a lot.Gmail,Whatsapp etc.
Screen is mostly at 70-80%.
As far as i am considered thats good,a lot of phones these days cant even get to 24h.
It works perfectly stable with the following settings:
Clock VDD (mV)
'24576 700'
'61440 700'
'122880 700'
'184320 700'
'192000 700'
'245760 700'
'368640 700'
'768000 850'
'806400 850'
'1024000 950'
Took me about 2 days to find them.
Sadly you cant go any lower then 700mV, seems to be a kernel restriction.

In my last charge the battery ran for about 1 day 6hrs when it said low bat, which is fine for me. However few times it oddly discharged like in 18hrs. Maybe I played too much games & used a lot of wifi at that time.
is there any apps that will actually improve your battery life at all? currently being rooted and have the pacman rom flashed to my gsm version.

You can also try One Power Guard:

With juice defender is it possible to have the icon in the status bar, but nothing in the notification drawer?

You just have to try and see... Hopefully this app will work also for you... :fingers-crossed:
"Battery calibration" is snake oil. Period.
Also, I have 2 stock One V's in the family, rooted but no custom ROMs. Both devices on occasion (once a day at least) appear to be in sleep mode but taking the phone into a completely dark room reveals the backlight is still on (albeit very dim).
This is the only thing I see that's keeping my stock ROM from outstanding battery life. Even as is it get good battery life, but I also double check periodically to make sure the screen really is off.

Source?
Also stock ROM gets quite laggy after some time.

It's all over xda. However, here's a link:
https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13dgb0rksywh3muq222fzkqnwfgdbgrk04
It's from Dianne Hackborn, android developer for Google.
from here
Root your phone, put kernel titanium kiss, make it with 1.2GHz and smartassV2 cpu governor and than flash with full wipe myOneV 8.0 rom, put display brightness to automatic you will have stunning results.
P.S. make back ups to your data but do not restore it all from recovery
