So today, with pretty heavy usage (at work...checking facebook, twitter, email, web, texting, maybe 15 mins of youtube) I ran through all 100% of my Samsung 2100mah battery from 7:30am until 1:30pm. And I put my 100% fully charged third-party 2200mah battery in right after and now it's at 40% by now.
Unbelievably how terrible the battery life is with the S3.
This is with wifi turned off. with GPS and bluetooth turned off. with not a ton of apps running in the background.
So 1.6 fully charged batteries in 10 hours of occasional use. Wow.
The battery life is like 95% the only reason why I miss my iPhone.
ps. yes I've done the fully charging and fully discharging thing with these batteries.
That's either a bad device or something rogue is running. You are one of the few with that bad of battery.

I have no idea what in the hell it is.
I am rooted, running CyanogenMod 10.
I forgot I had music playing for part of the day, and some internet streaming radio (at like 48kbps).
Either way. 160% battery life cycle in 10 hours of sort of heavy usage is nuts.
In the morning I'll be just reading news on Flipboard and Pulse with brightness at like 60% and running wifi, no GPS running, with no huge apps in the background and it can go from 100% to 90% in like 30 minutes of reading news.
Could be a bad device or maybe some garbage running in the background. I get 14+ hours of average use out of my device.
I usually go by screen time. I get about 4.5 to 5 hrs on a charge with Sync on andeeverything. Running tasks Aokp jellybean

Seeing posts like this make me want to order that battery. Probably will this weekend.
Okay, I know comparing battery stats is almost pointless but I will finally share my experience.
I am a copier technician. I work roughly 8-10hr days. I am literally constantly on my phone. Why? Because I use OTG USB A LOT. My usb flash drive is connected to my phone from the time I get to my first service call, to the time I get in my truck to drive home. I use OTG because I have to use different service manuals through out the day. So I am constantly accessing my flash drive for at least 45 minutes, each hour, every hour until my day is done. By the time I get home, I am down to about 30% or so, give or take 5% maybe. I use it at home to browse XDA until it just about dies. Charge it all night, than do it all again the next day. By the way, on my way to and from work, I play music in my truck. So roughly I get 10-14hrs out of my stock battery.
I have 58 apps installed. And Adobe Reader and sometimes that stock PDF doc viewer bloat is constantly running because my service manuals are pdf.
IDK.... There are so many threads/posts about battery life. I enjoy my Smartphone to the fullest. Run a ton of apps and and many widgets.
I used to try to do EVERYTHING to increase battery life, task managers, Better Battery Stats, going thru cycles of discharging and charging, wiping batt stats, calibrating battery, (which I still do). Underclocking, messing with voltages, etc etc etc.
It got to the point where I was so concerned about battery life I was missing all the great features of these phones.
I use my phone and all its features to the full potential. I bought a cpl batteries I keep charged around me incase I need them. And Overclock and just enjoy my phone.
Watching my battery life constantly and doing everything thing I can to increase it just took the fun out of of having a Smartphone with all these features.

What I've noticed on my att GS3 is that the battery destroyer without a shadow of a doubt is the LTE/HSPA+ radio. With this on battery drains at least 10% per hour especially with the LH9 update. As a test I shut off only mobile data toggle and the amazing battery life I had with my iPhone 4 returned on a more advanced phone. However, that came at the cost of having to shut off the mobile data connection. Mobile data toggle off all day at work 8+ hours and when I got home battery was like 85%.
I believe the data radio is the culprit and I hope they learn how to optimize its battery usage.
Had the same issue with the stock battery I had for 2 months, where just playing music screen off with about 15 minutes of data drained ~40% of my battery in about 2 hrs. Decided to get a replacment, with the same usage I still had 86% after 2 hours. Battery drop has also gotten worse with LTE on the LH1 update

Rooted phone with CM10 ROM, stock battery installed - I get about 13 hours of extremely heavy usage (Wi-fi, Bluetooth on, 3G when not near Wi-fi, checking Facebook, stocks, mail, etc.) out of mine:

I'd say you've got a bad battery, or a bad phone, or your ROM is bonked - there's no way you're burning through that much juice with normal operation. Maybe talk to your provider and see if you can swap the handset?
Oh, and discharging/charging your batteries does absolutely nothing. Li+ batteries have no memory, so you don't need to drain them - just use them out of the box and they'll work fine.
Might be a bad device or some garbage may run in the background, my cheap Lvbattery the Extended Battery For the Samsung Galaxy S3 [4500mAh the extend the battery] purchase. Eiemall.com fantastic. Easily over a full day
flashed a different ROM than C9/C10, "Triune 2" and started using the excellent battery/setting tweaks in "Go Power Master" and have noticed a pretty decent improvement.
Mainly by having Power Master turn off wifi/gps/location services while the screen is off, and only having my music/messaging apps running and shutting the rest off.
Highly recommend that app.

looks like its about $25 on amazon
but its thicker than the normal battery, so you get a extended back cover with it. sounds awesome but if you (wisely) use a case with your GS3, you'd have to find a different case

Review of 3500 mAh Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy S II
Changelog:
Code:
05/04/12 - Updated with Days 5 & 6
03/04/12 - Updated with Day Three and Day Four
01/04/12 - Updated with Day Two
I bought an extended battery (3500 mAh) from eBay for about $7 CAD, and it finally arrived the day before yesterday.
When I put it into my phone it was already at 74%. After charging it overnight, I started using it the next day at around 7:30 AM.
Before I post the screenshots of my extended battery (Edit: if anyone is wondering, data is usually always on, and brightness is set to Auto), let's have a look at the original stock 1650 mAh Samsung battery life:
Stock Samsung 1650 mAh Battery:

}
With some simple math, at 9% remaining, this would have lasted me just over 7 hours before reaching 0%.
Conditions of usage: As you can see, I like to use my phone a lot with 76% screen time . I barely used my data/wifi. Data was on but not active, and most of the screen time was spent on Moon+ Reader.
Time lasted: On an average day, (I use data a lot and I play games) I would get about 5 h 45 min or less out of my phone. As you can see from the screenshots above, this wasn't really an average day so it lasted longer, which is reasonable as I did not use data very much.
ROM info: Westcrip's Resurrection Remix ICS Pro 1.0 with the kernel that comes with it.
Now let's compare this with the battery life of the 3500 mAh battery.
3500 mAh Extended Battery
Day 1 [30/03/12]:
Time lasted: A whopping 9 hours 20 minutes.
Conditions of usage: As you can see I was connected to wifi most of the time, and unlike the previous screenshots, I was using wifi/data a lot. I don't know why it says screen time is only 28% though because as you can see in the second picture I had "screen on" a lot.
A charge cycle has Battery Monitor reporting this battery's estimated/measured mAh to be 3074 mAh.
Only 500 mAh difference from advertised capacity, but not bad for $7, if I do say so myself. And this is only the first charge/discharge cycle, so I expect an increase in a couple days.
ROM info: AOKP (bezke's), with Siyah Kernel for ICS beta 7.
Day Two [31/03/12]:
This is the result of the second day of using the extended battery:
Time lasted: 8 hours and 30 minutes.
Conditions of usage: Now as you can probably tell I've used my phone a lot more today, with screen on at 40%. I had a lot of free time, so I was pretty much constantly on my phone, using data and also listening to music (through external speakers just below medium volume). Still not bad compared to stock battery. Data was always on, and brightness set to auto, and music was playing through the speakers for about under two hours.
ROM info: AOKP (bezke's), with Siyah Kernel for ICS beta 7.
Day 3 [01/04/12]:
Now a bit of a funny/interesting story here. First, let's see the screenshots and I'll explain:
Seems pretty standard here. But I decided to turn off wifi and data and keep using it a bit, just for texting and reading ebooks. And when the screen was off, I managed to get it into ~97% deep sleep. So, this was the final result before the battery died.
Almost a whole extra hour usage, and here is CPU Spy's report on Deep Sleep. However, this is not standard. If you're like me, you like using your phone a lot. So we won't count this last screenshot.
Time lasted: 9 hours and 6 minutes.
Conditions of usage: Standard again as usual, but screen time is a bit higher. Unfortunately as a user requested I forgot to take a screenshot of the screen time. I will do it for the next day though. In the meantime, get out your calculator, haha.
ROM info: HyDrOG3N-ICS (AOKP), with latest codeworkx kernel.
Day 4 [02/04/12]:
This is the fourth day result.
Screen time screenshot included as requested.
Time lasted: 7 hours 35 minutes.
Conditions of usage: Today's usage was not very standard at all. I used data almost constantly today, and played around with Cerberus which also consumed a bit of battery life through the GPS and data/wifi. Phone got pretty hot through the constant usage which I hear drains battery faster. I also watched some videos and flash videos too.
ROM info: HyDrOG3N-ICS (AOKP), with NEAK 2.0.1 kernel.
Day 5 [03/04/12]:
Unfortunately there won't be any screenshots for today. My phone crashed and somehow the battery usage got reset, so there's no point. There will still be a report for today as per usual of course.
Time lasted: From 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, the battery lasted me about 9 hours.
Conditions of usage: Not much to say really. Conditions were normal, and so was the time the battery lasted. ~9 hours, occasionally less, seem to be becoming standard.
ROM info: HyDrOG3N ICS (AOKP) with SiyahKernel v3.0rc2.
Day 6 [04/04/12]:
Here's the report for Day 6. And as you will see, wow, the results aren't standard at all. Also included is Battery Monitor's report on the measured mAh along with details for Screen time.
Time lasted: 7 hours and 2 minutes.
Conditions of usage: 7 hours isn't very standard at all. It's a pretty wide deviation from the norm, but my explanation for this is that I was very very bored. As you can see from the "Screen" time, it says 48% but I actually used it for 5 hours and 6 minutes, which is an astounding 72.5% of screen on time. I amaze myself sometimes. So data was always on but not constantly active, and I played some flash videos and even a flash game, and I was testing out GPS on HyDrOG3N ICS (which sucked at getting a lock-on) so all these factors drained my battery. I also watched some videos on my phone as well.
ROM info: HyDrOG3N ICS (AOKP) with SiyahKernel v3.0rc2.
So in conclusion:
This battery seems well worth it. I am very satisfied with the battery life, and if you are a person who likes to play with his phone a lot (games, Reddit all day, browse the internet), then I recommend this phone as it will last you a good amount of time without needing a charge.
I will be continuing to post updates and screen shots this week as I continue using this battery. Subscribe and look forward to it!

thank you for the update on this. i am quite convinced now not to buy batteries from china
I bought one of these 3500mah batterys for $8.5 from Dealextreme and I am really happy.
My usage at work at times would be consistent to the point of telling the time by the battery percentage so I had a good baseline comparison test to do.
Under the stock battery running the FM Radio for 4 hours with no other use (I work midnights so no calls or anything) would consistently drain 21% of my battery.
With the 3500 it only drains 10% in the same time.
That works out to the battery working as advertised, slightly of double battery life for a battery that is slightly over double size.
It looks good for now, but please come back with a review in 3 months and we'll see how it fares
What's the font used here?
I'm using an extended 3500mah Spider-Foot since in August 2011.
My battery monitor measures it between 3100 to 3200 mAh. After 8 months of use I'm pretty happy. Costed $10 -
Maybe I'm missing the point why I should buy a 10x priced battery with approx same capacity?
Does it increase phone speed?
Well there must be a reason but I haven't figured it out yet.

I will! I guess since you asked, I'll have constant updates for three months.
I plan to do one a day for a week, and then maybe one every two days for the rest of the month, and then do one a week for the remaining months.

I don't know if it's accurate, but the "Screen" percentage should tell you. Usually around 20% to 50% of the time my screen is on.

Thats why im asking how long. % doesnt really mean anything. Click the screen when you are viewing the battery stat. It should tell you how long it has been one for.
Well I just checked, and the percentage corresponds with the number of hours I've been on battery. No seriously, I went ahead and did some math and it was pretty close to the actual screen time value I get when I click it
So while I don't have a screenshot of screen time for Day 2, by my calculations, with 8 and a half hours and 40% screen on time, the actual number of hours is about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Look at how little time his phone is awake and his screen is on. That's maybe like 5% total out of 5 days, which is about 6 hours total. My phone gets that in one day if I'm really bored so it's still about the same amount of drain.
I use my phone a lot, as my sole entertainment device. Games, movies, Internet, whatnot. My usage is more realistic than his, however impressive 5 days is. I'm sure if I barely touched my phone I would have the same results. (97% deep sleep is usually achievable unless I'm using it)

Good idea, I hope you can keep the updates coming. Im convinced to not buy batteries for expensive devices from China. But if you get good results i might reconsider. Thanks and good luck!

Anyway, original thread updated with Day 3 & 4.
Updated with Days 5 and 6, guys. Hope you find this thread informative and/or useful!
If you have any suggestions or anything you want to see please let me know.
I suggest u include cpu spy screenshot for every day because i can achieve this using stock battery...
Hydrogen-ICS 2803 + Siyah 3b7
No UC or UV
Brightness at 30%
Wifi + data(2G) always on
Im only using my phone for tapatalk,web browsing,facebook,twitter + some youtube so my cpuspy showed that im on 500mhz most of the time...
5 hour of 500mhz and 5 hour of 1200mhz gonna make a huge difference even the screen on time is the same...
Alright, before anyone tries to bash me for not searching the thread. I want to let you know I spend an hour searching the forums for my question exactly.
Is there anyone out there who has compared the stock 1850 mAh battery to the extended 2100 mAh one?
I have had stock since December. And I am now completely sick of the battery life. 4.0.4 did improve the battery life but it is still dismal. I have the Galaxy S3 for my work phone and that phone's battery runs laps around the Nexus. And that battery is 2100 mAh.
My S3 is always easily getting me through 1.5 - 2 days with more usage than my Nexus!!! Both phones have the same exact settings. (4G always on, GPS always on, WiFi on at home, Google sync on for everything, Skype on all day).
My biggest complaint is on the days where I am not home or at work. Whenever I go out, I don't use my phone so that I can leave some battery there to make sure that I am able to make calls if needed. And even that doesn't work most of the time. My phone will still die before I call it a night. I love the Nexus, and I cannot wait for Jellybean and would like to keep this phone for a long time (even though I have an upgrade available). I am basically trying to decide between extended battery or the external charger with a spare battery option. I would much rather get the extended battery because I am not too keen on carrying an extra battery with me. I would rather put in the extended battery and forget about it. I understand that theoretically the increase in battery is only 13% but to me that doesn't mean **** since the S3 lasts me 2-3 times longer than the Nexus with the same exact settings. So in real world usage, how much of an increase is the extended battery?
Thanks!

I'm barely able to get through a full day with the extended battery. I mainly use my phone during the day on WiFi. With the activity level that you posted, I don't think the 2100 mAh would be a huge improvement on battery life (maybe an extra hour tops?). Also, I don't like the little hump that it gets with the extended battery attached. I'm running mRom 4.1.1 at the moment.
When I got my nexus in May, I thought I would run the stock battery for a while, but it was terrible for me. In a week, I bought the bigger battery. I wanted to keep the slim profile, so I went with the 2150 with the slightly bumped door, don't even notice the size difference.
The bigger battery makes a big difference for me. Can't say exactly how much longer, but definitely better. I also purchased Juice Defender Ultimate. After tweaking the settings, it reports nearly double the battery. Sometimes it takes a minute to connect to a network if it has my radios off, but not a huge issue for me.
In all, I'd say the nexus is pretty rough on battery. Big screen and 4g, what are you going to do?

Extended Battery 2000mah.. i'm easily getting 24+ hours with moderate usage with data on, sync on, location settings on, 60% brightness..
bigxie 4.1.1 rom + imoseyon 4.2 kernel.. overall very happy with it..
i've had the extended battery for 2 mths now so i guess its conditioned now.
i can actually use my phone and not worry about the battery dying..
i have the s3 as well, but don't really use it yet because i am still waiting for my case to ship from china..
Battery
The 2100 is nice to have just because it doesn't add a lot of bulk. But I only get 18 hours max.
Today I have had my Nexus unplugged for 10 hours and with 1 hour of screen usage battery is down to 25%
My S3 has been unplugged for 12 hours and with 1 hour of screen usage it is at 68%
Wtf!! Battery is so horrible. Google I want to love your bone stock, "this is the ideal Android" phone but this battery is pathetic!!! What the ****.
I bought my phone at $300, I gotta buy another battery for either $25 or $40. They never made the real pogo pin car mount and expect us to buy a piece of plastic for $40. They released the pogo pin dock after 8 months for ****ing $90. Holy ****. This is so frustrating. The first phone I thought I would actually buy all the accessories for, and keep for a good 2-3 years has been a complete failure.

Heavy usage today.
Bigxie JB 4.1.1 ROM + Imoseyon Kernel.
Combination of 4G and WiFi on all day, auto-sync on, location settings on, brightness 60% on, sometimes 100% during peak times of the day.
Overall happy with performance. Ofcourse S3 is better though.. But still love this phone..
How are you guys having bad battery life?

Now that I could live with.. 3 hours of screen time?! Have never seen that on my Nexus, not even when at home, on wifi all day! Is that with the official extended battery or what?
I think I may just have to root my phone and run another ROM and a good kernel. I have been avoiding this because I work for VZW and sell phones for a living. I demonstrate my phone all the time and did not want to be running some crazy mods and having customers saying WTF! lol I guess I should only use the S3 for demonstrations and use my Nexus the way I want to.
Yes battery life is abysmally poor, but it's really a non issue - a package with 3 spare standard batteries and external charger is ~$12 on Ebay, including shipping. They don't last that long, 4-6 months or so, but then I just buy a new package. I'm on my third so far. Love having a couple of fresh spare batteries in my back pocket.
But the battery panel sucks. It's attached with these tiny plastic hooks that break off after a few times use. If only someone would make a more solid back panel. the metal ones are slightly better but much thicker so the phone no longer fit into the dock, and NFC and GPS sensitivity is down the drain.
AW: Stock vs Extended Battery review?
forget about stock battery summary... its useless. try out betterbatterystats (xda or market). it may help you find out whats going on. i can get 23h standby with over 3hrs screenon with stock battery (stock rom 4.2.1 with Franco) which is pretty good compared to what im used to
the only time i got such bad runtime (13hrs+1h screen + 20% left) was with over 2hrs without mobile signal
which is to expected...
imho there are 3 major drainer on every phone: screen, bad mobile signal, some app that prevents phone from deepsleep'ing

Can you list whether you are on 4g or on 3g? That's going to be a big difference, on 4g i am only able to get 1:20 screen time, 10-11h standby with lean kernel
AW: Stock vs Extended Battery review?
sry forgot. this was with 3g only as i have the gsm gnex also wifi always on auto brightness everything else off
but with "perfect" mobile signal
BBS tells me i'm loosing 0.4% per h while phone doing nothing.
i also got the extended bat now which gives me about 1-1.5h extra screen on time.
but for the record: its very easy to drain even the ext. battery fast: playing 3d heavy game for 4-5hrs with 6hrs uptime and its at 3%
so no voodoo here

Can you tell me your settings? I have PA 3.0 and AK kernel w/ auto brightness, wifi and sync always on; I get 2h of screen with some browsing, twitter and whatsapp... BBS says I consume 7,4%/h !
AW: Stock vs Extended Battery review?
well don't mistake me - 0.4% was the lowest value i got turning on the phone after idling and starting bbs ..
it will be higher if would do more stuff more regulary i guess
i only sync 1 IMAP account hourly and Google background stuff (incl. being online in gtalk and g+ notifications)
autobrightness on
wlan was connected and always on
BT/GPS off
no special setup just using Francos kernel with stock rom
just check wakelocks and deepsleep values maybe its an app
edit: screen time of 4hrs+ with rss feeds, twitter, texts, chrome and some other rather low resource apps i guess no gaming...

I received today the extender battery from shipshop.
Wow the extended cover makes the phone better IMHO. I'm charging it.
It included a screen protector for free!
The extended battery makes the battery life from bad to "normal". I can reach easily 4 h of screen on time. Stand by is around 18-19 hours, finally I can leave home in the morning and return at night with some battery.
I weighted them:
Samsung Original Extended Battery 2000mAh - 44 g
Samsung Original Stock Battery 1750mAh - 38 g (Which makes sense, we are talking about 45 mAh per gram)
Chinese Battery 1900mAh (Same size than stock) - 32 g (So it's a scam, I'm sure they don't have more mAh per gram than Samsung)
This is the cheap battery I am reffering to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MQEPW0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (It works fine, but it must be around 1500-1400mAh).
I hope you enjoy this information.
Is NFC affected by the Extended batteries?
Our devices use a 4600 mAh battery and was wondering if anyone ever actually sees that figure? I've been struggling to get more than 4-5 hours use and started investigating why. The highest I've ever seen on a full charge is 4309 and the average is about 4260-4280.
Another strange thing I've noticed is that if I start playing a game with 100% charge and the tab plugged in I still loose about 1% per minute.
I've tried multiple roms and they all seem about the same as far as battery usage goes. Right now I'm back to the stock LG KitKat as it seems to perform about the best for me and very stable. I use the battery calibration app and was wondering is there another that might work better?
In closing looking forward to any suggestions or advise
Yep,same for me.battery life is terrible.have tried multiple roms,lucky to get anywhere near 4hrs.

I just tried an experiment, 100% charged, unplugged tab w/o turning anything on and I already lost 7% in 15 minutes !! I have Greenify installed and all non system apps hibernated and it still eats the battery.
My Sero Pro can sit all day and only loose 1%. If I could be sure I would receive a perfect unit I would consider RMA. But after reading all the issues with the screen problems I'm not going to take the chance. My tab is perfect aside from battery life.
I found a replacement battery on Ebay and am considering buying it to see if I have a bad battery. Something definitely isn't right.
I went to Mahdi rom as soon as I got my tablet about 2 weeks ago. This past weekend I did two battery tests.
These tests were done with wifi always on (medium signal strength, most google apps synced, google location reporting off, no twitter/facebook app, no greenify or any power management apps
If I left the display on indoors at auto brightness, it lasted for about 7-8 hours.
If I left the tablet idle (display off), it consumed about 3% per day (most of it consumed by wifi).
I would suggest trying the same thing with yours and see whether its a hardware issue. You can just do it for a few hours and extrapolate.
I've never calibrated my battery (drain until its empty) unless I notice an erratic drain from a constant task.
Mine is the same, not being used it drains almost nothing. Currently mine is at 49%, been unplugged about 12 hours with 2:47 of screen on time according to the battery stats in settings. 100% stock KitKat, bluetooth off. 15 minutes of screen off (with the screen on long enough to look at battery settings) and no % lost.

Same. If I leave it in standby overnight, I see zero battery drain (in 8 hours). I also tested a full HD movie (1080p) in full screen at 45% brightness and medium loudspeaker volume, and measured roughly 12-14% drain per hour, which suggests it could run 7-8 hours of movie playback on a single charge.
I'm happy with my battery usage. I think it's at least as good as my 2012 N7.
Here's a screen shot of usage just reading the other day. Keep in mind I mainly stop my tablet charging at between 90-95% as often as possible.

I'm with the OP as far as battery drain goes. Mine loses almost 10% in 12 hours at idle with wifi on. With wifi off it'll lose about 3-4% in 12 hours. I haven't done a full to zero test, but battery life is not that great on my personal unit. That is the only thing I don't like about it. I'm running idterror's v50018a ROM.

Then you have an issue with software you installed. It is neither the battery nor the ROM.
Well I went ahead and ordered the battery. I'm fairly confident it'll solve my problem. To Subtleone, with my tablet even with a barebones install I still have real bad battery life. It does not change very much between barebones and all my apps installed.

I don't think so. Even with a barebones install I get similar battery drain. But I knew the G Pad had terrible battery life going in as noted by every industry review I read prior to purchase.
Don't have any battery problems here (stock KitKat, rooted and most non-system apps greenified), get about 6 hours screen-on time at 70-100% brightness when reading books (wifi off) and an hour or so browsing/youtube'ing.
Are people actually going by unplug time until the device physically shuts down, or just what the battery bar claims? Battery stats are rarely 100% accurate, and there's protection measures built in to prevent a battery actually reaching 100% or 0% despite what the device says.

Except that I don't have terrible battery life. In fact, most don't. With KitKat (the one in my sig), with WiFi on, I get exactly 0% drain after 8 hours with it in standby (not actually off). Zero. Needless to say, I do not have any known battery killers such as the Facebook app.
At 45% brightness or so, I see about 13% battery drain after an hour of watching a 1080p movie in full screen with sound coming through loudspeakers.

Biggest battery eaters are apps like Google+ and Facebook.
UCCW and Weather apps too. Also having gps on.
There's some smashing eye candy apps for use and just for info on your lockscreen, they all seem to suck juice like no tomorrow. It's all the updating they do.
Best advice is to use something like wakelock detector to highlight your problem apps, then use greenify to get them to sleep properly. Also have your wifi set to only stay on when your tablet is plugged in.

To test a lot of theory I loaded up stock LG KitKat this A.M. . After letting it install and rebooting 3 times in 60 minutes I turned off WIFI and GPS and left it idle. In 4 hours and 12 minutes I was at 79%. Keep in mind when I left it idle the last time I was at 100%.
So at least in "my" case its most certainly not the software. My battery is scheduled for delivery 5/9/14. I'm hoping that will solve the battery issues.
Once I receive the new battery I'll update the thread. And thanks for the replies

My GPS is always on so I do not think it drains battery in any unusual way. I'll also add that it works darn well. I used the tablet for navigation in a car and it was impressive.
So to continue the theories I put my screen @ 50% watched 60 minutes of 1080p video via MX Player and lost 31%! That's totally bare aside from MX Player. So after seeing Subtelone's results I'm very convinced I indeed have a bad battery.
I know it's not a fair comparison but I've been using my mum's Acer W4 tablet as my 8.3 is being repaired for bad LCD (mura/spots). The W8.1 tablet actually gives me about 8-9 hours of web browsing time. Yes, it's got fewer pixels to push but bear in mind it is running the full fat Windows 8! I just think it's quite disappointing that the LG pad for me barely lasts 4 hours SOT when I mainly use it for web browsing.

Yes, something is seriously wrong with your battery if everything else is identical. My results are exactly as posted.
Hi, yestarday, I've recived LG g3, I've switched to it, because my G2 starting to have very poor battery life, like 10 hours with 3h with screen on. I've searched the forum, and I notice that most of u have 5, 6 hours screen with 30 h or more of use, but for me it will be the same as on g2, maaaaby a little bit better, I've restored all my apps, yes, but non of the battery monitor apps showing that some app is using high percentage of battery, let me show some screen shots:

Some of them can ba inaccurate, because I've just rebooted my phone, but u see that my phone was on 12 hours (with about 7, 8 hours at night doing nothing and switching to 2G only) I had 2h and 35m of screen, and I didn't play any games, just browsing internet, and I have 46 percent left...
What could causing this poor battery life? It can be some app, that is not showing in battery monitor as a draining one? Or what could be the issue?
You need to root your device and install Better Battery Stats, Xposed Framework, and Wakelock Terminator. Then use bbs to determine which Wakelocks you need to terminate to save battery.
Using this method got my battery drain down to about 1% per 6h of screen off time.
I had to terminate 2 wakelocks to fix my battery life: NlpCollectorWakeLock in Google Play Services, and WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed in Android System.
Nyorbee, I might be wrong, because I own g3 only for a few days, but your battery life looks to be pretty normal to me.
The phone drains really slowly in standby, but 4 hours screen on time during a regular day looks to be quite ok.
Web browsing is particularly taxing on the battery, because of the high res display.
Do not expect the same battery as on G2, from my experience it is lower at least by 1/3 (I upgraded from G2 too).

Yeah, we will definitely need more than 10 minutes of data. You don't need to go from 100 to 0 though. Just get some data from a few hours of screen off time and show me both the kernel wakelock and partial wakelock info.
Edit: The screen off time doesn't have to be all at once. However, the easiest way I found to pinpoint my battery drain was to charge the phone fully just before bed, and unplug it overnight.
My sensor usage also strikes me as very high. Is there anyway to figure out what sensors are keeping the phone awake so much of the time?
I need to see your partial wakelock info as well. Those sensor readings alone don't tell me much. One thing to keep in mind: as you reduce the usage of pointless activities, the usage percentiges for other activities like sensors will rise, but this doesn't mean they are consuming more battery.
I also need to know how much of that time the screen was on/off. If your battery drained 70% in 10 hours of screen off time, it wasn't just your sensors, i can assure you.
You should also consider whether your battery is defective. If you get a good amount of screen on time with a full charge, the battery is probably OK. But if you can drain a full charge in an hour or two of heavy use, you might need to replace your battery.
Good luck!
Also try Wakelock Detector / Greenify - an amazing battery combo

Thanks for the response. Here are the partial wakelocks, captured at the same time. Unfortunately, I didn't capture the "Others" page, but screen on time was about 3 hours. Wake time was considerably higher than screen on time. I've rebooted the phone, in case something weird was going on. I see what these numbers look like tomorrow. If they still seem odd, I'll repost with all the relevant data.
Ok, here are my stats over night:

I've lost 4 percent of the battery doing nothing over maby 8 hours.
But the real problem is when screen is on, than I'm loosing 1 percent every one or two minutes. I'm out of juice in 10 to 12 hours with less than 4 houurs of screen. I'll show u my stats after full battery cycle. And I have two batteries, it's the same, so I guess this is not battery fault...
If your big drain is coming from screen on time, I suggest using gsam battery monitor to determine what's eating the battery. It's easier to read, and I find the stats a bit more relevant for screen on drain.
4% loss over 8 hours of screen off time doesn't seem bad at all, honestly. Its probably improvable, but not necessarily worth the effort.
What are you doing during your screen on time, and what screen brightness? I can burn a full charge in about 3-4 hours of Netflix at full brightness and full volume, but I get considerably more time if I'm browsing the web at minimum brightness.
Edit: I'd you don't use it, i highly suggest disabling or uninstalling google search. It's a prime culprit for wasting battery. I'm not entirely sure, but this might break google now, if you use that. Of course, google now is also a big battery waster.
Are you on WiFi most of the day? I'm just curious, is this a residential AP or are you on a corporate network? We recently upgraded our school to a Meru wireless network, and since then my battery will go from 100 > 50 in 8 hours, versus 100 > 80+ when at home, and at home I use it even more.
When I use BBS at work, the awake time is MUCH higher, and I also have very high sensor use.
This is mine with wireless on and sync on. Rooted and Unbounced. Removed some programs access to internet.
But when i use it it drains like normal.

I'm experience a huge draining in battery life just last few days. It was perfectly fine but not anymore. I have tried to factory reset with no luck. I have greenify at work.... I don't know how to read from better batt stats data so I was hoping someone here would be so nice to help me with that.
Here's the log file:
http://goo.gl/xD5HE0
I'm not trying to steel your thread. But since we have the same problem we are search for similar solution....
Is it safe to disabling the services of google? My phone has v10c rom and can at most 3h of screentime.
If you disable Google Play Services you won't be able to use the play store or some other google apps. However, you can use Wakelock Terminator to prevent it from draining your battery.
I have frequently read that some wireless networks can cause more drain than others. If this is what's draining your battery I'm afraid I don't know of any good solution. If you have a good data connection and/or unlimited data, you may get better battery life using that. Have you tried disabling mobile data entirely when you're in Wi-Fi range? I have very limited mobile data, so I keep it off unless I have a specific need for it. I do think this has improved my battery a bit.
Again, i suggest getting gsam battery monitor. It's free on the play store, and offers an easier display of what's eating your battery compared to BBS.
Edit: don't get discouraged if you have some trouble getting your battery life up to spec. It took me three weeks of googling and tweaking to get mine where I'm happy with it.

Hey Guys,
you have also a massiv battery drain on your Pixel Device?
I need to charge it twice a day since I updated to Android 13 ...
Do you think Google will fix it asap?
There are a ton of battery life threads in this section - more than one page of search results. I know battery life has been mentioned with regards to Android 13 in some threads in this section, although I'm not sure if it was in a battery-specific thread.
For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any difference on mine.

Have you checked to see in the battery usage what's using it
I had this problem before. The fix was completely wipe the device then install everything from scratch, not using restore service. Additionally, I putting background restriction on many battery hungry apps like Facebook, Messenger, Google Maps, etc... Also, I'm using Kirisakura kernel on top of battery restriction. My battery can last up to 22-23 hours.

hmmmm, thats a shame, because it is bad enough setting everything back up again after restoring it. But incredible the battery life you are getting.
My phone has Shamesung health app smashing battery, phone idle and and mobile network cosuming huge battery again

Try disabling the Physical Activity permission of the Samsung Health App, it might actually do wonders when it comes to battery life. While it wouldn't affect your watch, your device would no longer be able to count steps [for me, that was worth the trade-off].
the answer is bluetooth and wifi failure and trying to reconnect NONSTOP. after 4 factory resets my phone suddenly doesnt do it anymore and battery life is fine. came to this conclusion when i connected my galaxy watch to my phone and is disconnected every couple minutes. looking at the quick settings id see bluetooth looking like its resetting itself. i didnt check the crash log but at this point its kind of common sense what it was. after some research last night i saw i wasnt the only one. it actually was so bad that my phone died over night even tho it was 43% when i went to sleep

I had my first full day with A13 yesterday and it was hard not to notice how fast the battery was draining, I would have expected this to have been picked up during beta testing
Less than 24 hours since update and I noticed it too.
My Pixel 6 used to be awesome in terms of battery.
But today, after 9 hours it's 30%. It's been some heavy usage, but it should be 50% at least.
Edit: The second day things went back to normal. After 16 hours i'm still at 66%.
The battery drain is bad for the initial 3-4 charge cycles, then it goes back to what was "normal" on A12. Which sucks, since if you listen to YouTube (downloads only, screen off) and use Google Maps while snapping photos (20-30 and no video), the phone will die in less than 8 hours.
In other words, the phone is unfit for travel. Pitty, because the camera is great.
You would think that now that Google has better control over the hardware and complete control over the software (including services), plus a huge 5000mAh battery, the P6P would do far better.
Sure, it's better than my last Pixel, a 3XL, but that was so bad I swore off Pixels.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasts twice as long with a much smaller 4353mAh battery. Without having to turn off 5G or regular services. What a joke.
SITREP !
Bluetooth issue still ongoing and still causing the major battery drain. Has 0 to do with what this guy said ^ . Sometimes its OK but most times it just crashed and restarts.
I dont have any of those issues. I guess I got lucky.
43% and it died overnight? Dude that is insane. Even if it is Bluetooth/wifi keeping the phone from truly going into deep sleep, you wouldn't think that alone would be able to completely drain the battery to 0 over the course of what... 5 - 8 hours? (Unless your my ex, then it's more like 14 hours ). Have you pulled any logs or looked at the battery usage? I'd be hesitant to believe that there isn't more going on there contributing to the massive drain. Gotta love google... I remember the first talks of Android 13 was geared towards smarter battery usage. Go figure.
Today my phone has been (and is yet cause the battery is not charged) plugged to a google charger for 3 hours and half and the battery has charged from 40% to 82%
The phone had the screen off for 1 hour by this time. This was when the battery recovered 40%.
I tend to think that we've got, Houston, a big problem here...
No massive battery drain for me. 8.39%/hr active drain and .80%/hr idle drain on stock kernel. Active drain is a little higher than usual for me, probably because of rebooting many times doing stuffs.
Fast charging is also the same for me using an Anker Nano II 30W charger. No problems in that area.
I have no solution, but I can confirm this is an issue. I had no issue before the update lasting up to even 2 days with light use. Now, I even with battery saver turned on, it dies in about 6 hours in my pocket.
I just went on a trip to Toronto last week and it was terrible, had to keep my phone powered off in my pocket so I could still be sure to have enough battery to get an uber back to my airbnb.
So far today at work. I unplugged my phone at 730am to leave for work, it's 1105 and typing this out is the most I've used my phone. It is both warm to the touch and the battery is at 73%.no wait 72% it just went down...

Here are 2 examples showing the difference between before and after A13
Just when I was about to switch to my P6P, I'm reading all these problems with slow charging and mediocre battery life. I wonder how widespread they are?
I can't use a new phone that seems to have a worse battery life than my P4XL...
Not to mention the whole sideloading apk FC thing.
Guys, I am also having massive issues with my new Pixel 6 phone which is approx 10 days old only....
A12 was fine for the first days then I want to A13 and then all hell brooke lose The battery drain is awful and I am facing these problems :
- Phone idle is between 20-37% - even when phone is in flight mode for the night it consumes 20-30% instead of normal 1-2%
- Viber is draining battery with 20%+ consuming when its not really used shows usage of 20+ hours Never had such issue.
I am over now 4-5 recharge cycles and I have turned off adaptive almost anywhere... What to do?
Just pray and wait for Google to drop a fix/patch for A13 for our Pixel 6 ???
For those that upgraded from A12 to A13 and having the issue, have you wiped the phone (factory reset) and started fresh? I know it's a PITA getting everything setup again, but that's crazy. I was at 100 percent at 7 am, now 7 hours later, I am at 66 percent with pretty heavy usage... Generally YouTube constantly along with everything else I'm doing. By no means is my battery life amazing, but def comparable to A12 on my end.
