I've had my E4GT for maybe ten months and my battery is just horrible now. I have tried a variety of different ROMs and I'm currently running goodness and I used to get great battery life out of it (full day with heavy use) and then it just started going bad. Now I have to charge every seven hours or so. And my screen flickers (as if my batterys out of juice) and my phone powers off and when I reboot, it is usually significantly lower in percentage or below 5% and this happens on a variety of ROMs as well but it seems like its gone because I formatted SD (formatted a few hours ago so dont know for sure). I am most likely going to buy a new standard battery but I want to make sure that it's a bad battery. Thanks
If you take the battery out is it swollen? You can spin it pretty good if it is swollen. My battery went bad around ten months, just took it to a Sprint repair store and they gave me a new one.

Actually now that you mention it, it doesn't seem to fit properly into the compartment and it looks like the bottom left side is sticking out more (when you look at it from the side at eye level). Also, when I put the back cover on, it requires more to close and fit properly

I would just go to the Sprint store, your phone is under a year old so it is still covered under the Samsung warrenty.

Even dumber question, how does one calibrate the battery? I just got a brand new E4GT and I'm lucky if I can make it seven hours. Is it just charging it fully then clearing battery stats in rec?

That's the thing. You shouldn't need to calibrate a lithium ion battery. Complete drains are actually bad for them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Removing battery stats is not calibrating. To calibrate just charge the phone to full and after a couple cycles it will optimize itself.

Wow seven hours? Are you on stock? When I first got my E4GT and was running stock, non rooted, I could last the whole day . And just let it charge all the way but don't let your phone die. That's not good for the battery

My phone after a full charge and barely any use whatsoever was at 13% after an hour..... We are both running Azrael x3.0 rom with the newest htc kernel #15... any suggestions??

Try eliminating a variable by swapping batteries with your wife....then use your old one again.....if both work well then you have your answer......

Swap batteries ... if hers only lasts a short time in your phone then issue is with the phone. Then you can start troubleshooting.
Edit: Ha I was a few second to slow!
Ok I will give that a try.... I noticed in the battery left widget when I go to usage, the very first one says "running" 84%, and I click on it, basically it is stating that the phone isn't sleeping when I lock the phone..... could this mean that the everything is staying on when it should be sleeping?
Thank you for tips!!

Dropping the first 10% quickly is not a certain indication that its the battery....your battery charges to 100% and then, begins to be used up to 10% before it charges again.....so you could have been lower than you thought you were originally ...thus making it appear that you dropped 10% in minutes.....if the remainder of the battery does this then I still recommend you try swapping with your wife to eliminate or confirm

Ok well I just wanted to say thank you guys for your advice, but I think I figured it out.... I think that some things within the phone were not getting along. I flashed the SBC-Net-4.2.2-more-havs kernel #11. I fully charged the phone, including bump charge, and I left it on for about an hour or so longer, and I have been unplugged for 1:44, and my awake time is 45 min. I am still reading 100%!!! So I think I am good to go....
Thanks again guys
Can you guys recommend me a good/older phone with a full keyboard and has a good battery life? I'm looking into the samsung rant,or even the lg lotus (which I had and was pretty decent).I'm seriously thinking of switching back to an older phone from this Epic.

Or
When u really need to make a call.emergency calls.u wouldn't be able to dial out cause of bad phone battery life.

It shows exactly 1500? I mean the real question is what you are looking at. A good app would report design capacity (1800) and then current capacity which will be lower and will keep going down over time.
I had the same thing happen to me but I ended up getting a free battery out of the deal. I got that battery monitor it said 1500 i called sprint and told them they said come down get the right battery free of charge so I got the battery when I got home I opened up the lid and the battery in there was in fact an 1800mah but I got a free battery out of the deal so win win!

Sprint customer service has always been great with me. They are very focused on keeping there customers happy.

also keep in mind if you just flashed a new rom it takes a couple days for it to settle in and give you the battery life you would expect. When you flash a new rom the battery life can be pretty bad for the first couple days.

Hi everyone I got my phone 4 days ago and have been through charge cycles but my battery life sucks. I only get a Max of 2hrs on screen time and 12 hours with the phone on (if its in airplane mode the whole time). Also, it takes forever to charge. I charged it from 7pm to 10:30pm and it went from 2% to 34%. And as i type this message (on wifi) I lost 3% battery life. What should I do?

Also it seems that display takes up 50% battery (which is good) but as soon as I send one text, phone immediately goes to 50% and display down to 18%. It stays that way all day and rebooting does not help. And the battery percent goes up and down without charging. And yes I have calibrated it multiple times

Figured I start a thread specifically for the T-Mobile variant. I will say that I'm pretty pleased with the battery life thus far. I hated having to give up the ease of some functionality just so my Samsung OG Epic 4G could make it through the day. Meaning, turning off bluetooth, live wallpaper, wifi, etc.
I feel like I haven't had to do that even though there is a battery saver mode already. I'm currently sitting at 54% and it's been a day since taking it off the charger.
I currently have all the bells and whistles going. Live wallpaper and facial recognition to unlock. S-Pen detection and the whole 9. Anyhow, just wanted to see what everyone else is getting.
I'd be happy with 6 hours screen on time
i had the galaxy s3 before the note 2 and i have noticed huge battery improvements
I was briefly reading through the manual and saw this:
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete
discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
Pg 15
just thought I'd pass it along. I usually run my battery all the way down and let it die before recharging:

Looks like my battery life on my S3 with the Anker 4400mah battery!
Fairly light usage while I was at work. I always run power saving mode and auto dim.

Unbelievable. Its DOUBLE what I get on my note 1. This is the first time i can remember in years not changing a battery during a day.
I have had WiFi on most of the time.
I never thought I would see 14 hours.

The battery life on this is simply amazing. I am still shocked to see how good it is. I tried everything today to run it down. Barely even used WIFI today. Basically all 4G. Screen brightness was about 50% at least all day. Never below as well. Crazy awesome battery
My battery life is insane. Ive used my phone nonstop all day and its still going. I should easily get between 8-9 hours of onscreen time.

Not surpriesed though. Near tablet size should equal near tablet like battery life.
