When did your battery life start to get better?

I have had the phone for 5 days and with fairly light usage, I am still not getting good battery life. I turn off all data and wifi when not using it and screen on time is below 2 hours.
Below is a screenshot of my battery life.

It doesn't get better...get used to it until its fixed in an update , along with the other big issues.

By about the 3rd day it seemed better. But it's also difficult to gauge because the first few days you're bound to toy with it constantly.
Until there is an empirical way to gauge usage, like an amp meter attached to the phone - it's all perception imo.

In the top left you have three things running in the background, im assuming constantly. Uninstall them, especially the battery percentage since you can look that up easily on your phone

Do yourself a favor and try aokp milestone 1 from rootzwiki , and also download lean kernel 1.1.1 on xda. Use interactiveX governor for kernel. This is the exact setup I am using now, and have been for a few days and have been getting insane battery life. Hope everything works for you.

Last time I checked lithium ion batteries don't get better after a few days and yes there are software fixes for battery life and bugs..

You really have no idea what you're talking about. First of all, it will get better, I won't bother explaining the science behind it considering you can do your own research, but it will, also, it can't be "fixed." Just like they can't make it an 8 mega pixel camera in an OTA. You can get it much better by doing custom roms and thigns of that nature.

It got better when I turned off vzw backup and google +.

Best I got is 16 hours bone stock just an extended battery. Worst I got was 4 hours(screen was on the whole time) watched 2 movies before I plugged in. I average around 12 hours from 100% to 20%.

First off, it's hard to tell by your screenshot how good or bad your battery life is. You're burning approximately 10%/hr, but maybe you had your screen on or were surfing the internet for a portion of that time. Anything that involves data transfer will kill your battery faster.
I got my Galaxy Nexus on Wednesday, and I've had great battery from the start. I calibrated it by letting the phone's initial charge die down to zero, and then charged it all the way up to 100%, and then used the Battery Calibration tool. I drain between 2-3% hour with light use, but can obviously drain much more depending on what I'm using the phone for.
That being said, for those on this board who think an OS upgrade is going to fix the problem, I highly doubt it. I have a reasonably poor cell signal (averages around -95 dbm), but still get solid battery life. Given that we were all issued phones with the same software, if you're experiencing incredibly bad battery life, I'm going to point my finger at the hardware. It just doesn't make sense that some of us with 4.0.2 get great battery life, and others do not. You probably have either a bad battery or a bad phone. Now, I'll probably get called out for saying this, but watch all the posts that follow when the update releases, when people still have poor battery life.
This is my 3rd Android phone (Incredible, Charge, GN), and every one of these phones has had poor battery life. On average, if I'm playing around with the screen on, I'm draining upwards of 10%/hr, if not more. But if you properly calibrate the battery - which is VERY important - you should easily be able to get a full day's charge out of your phone.
There is a post on XDA about the 13 steps to proper battery calibration. Once I followed it on my last phone, my battery life went up at least 50%. You have to let the battery drain to 100%, then bump charge a number of times, then use the battery calibrator.

Try running without JuiceDefender. Constantly toggling data on and off (or wifi on and off) actually hurts battery in almost all cases.

Your results may vary, but when I used Juice Defender or Green Power on my Droid Charge, I nearly doubled the battery life. I haven't put it on my GN yet because my battery life is much better than what I had with the Charge.

No using JD or anything like that. Just the the phone do its thing. I don't even open the multitask button unless I want to switch between apps.

Gotta be a software issue with the battery.
Just this past weekend in Wash DC. Very strong 4 G market.
I had it fully charged off charger. After 7 hours without touching the phone even with google plus sign out, the battery went from 100% to 54%. It's like the phone was active a lot without me even touching it. No SMS/mms either. No emails either.
Know. I did same thing and put it on airplane mode with it 100% charged. After 7 hours on airplane mode it was at 98%.
So it's gotta be an operating system issue.
I tried it on wifi instead of 4G mode. And battery drainage was down to 72% after no use overnight.

Battery...hmm not bad

So I 've been wanting to really test how long my battery could go with minimal use.
This included...
about 45 minutes of 3G tethering
and about 13 hours on 3G. 4G was disabled the whole entire time
As you can see it was idle a lot, but I almost got 2 full days on stock battery. So no complaints.
Part of me feels like if it was not for that 3G tethering maybe I could have got 4 more hours+

Not bad indeed.

Would rather use my phone and have to charge when I get home then leave it in my pocket all day.
Also your wifi was toggled on the whole time... that would have saved some battery.

That sounds pretty dire....are you running at full brightness with Wifi and bluetooth and the GPS on (happens e.g. if you enable GPS for apps and then open Facebook) and no screen timeout while running the camera?
I've had an hour of screen time, and about 9 hours of screen off; I've not had it on to charge at all today, and I'm at 60% battery.
If you go into settings/battery, what else is keeping your phone awake? In other threads, people suggest installing 'Better Battery Stats' (nb, cheap, not free) and posting screen shots of the kernel/partial wakelocks. I can't interpret them myself, but others can...

How is the signal strength where you spend most of your time?
When I'm at home, it's crap, and I'm about in the same boat as you.

You can get the better battery stats for free if you can locate the guys thread here on xda. But I recommend at least donating to him for such a useful app.

The only complaint I have with this phone is the massive difference between hspa and lte versions in battery life. Other than the razr maxx no late phone has acceptable battery life including the nexus. To get 5-6.5 hours screen time on my nexus versus friends 2.5-3 on an lte version is just crummy. I know some people just have extra batteries but that short of usable battery life is just too much of a hassle for me when I'm out and about. I would be forced to get a huge ugly seidio battery if I needed to move to Verizon. Even with 4g disabled the Verizon/sprint versions don't get the screen time I get with my hspa nexus. I really hope lte radios get more efficient and battery tech gets better. Removable or not, all phones can be made as sleek with a huge battery if manufacturers wanted. The maxx is proof of that.

I am giving my machine a hard time every day. Usually it ****s up after something like 4 hours. That is much better than the old machine I had. However, it is not good enough cause I work for 8 hours. So after the midday break in the canteen there is no more angry birds for me. I think of getting a second machine, one for the morning and one for the afternoon.

Yay, another super 1337 battery thread.

Lol, how's this for on screen time on a stock battery? I just managed to get the screens before I had to charge it up, It's the longest I've gotten with my ROM and kernel combo. Last screen shows it's the ~1800 mAh battery, the third line down reads 35/1750 mAh.
*Edit* Hold the phone, 1400 mAh is stock, right? My 'stock' battery is 1750mAh... How does that work?

Is everyone else getting strange battery drops? When the battery is at 19%, it drops directly to 15%, without going through 18,17,16. Is this happening to you or is my battery screwed up? It's been doing it for weeks now so I don't think it's about lack of battery training

This is with a genuine 2000mah extended battery, minimal use over a long weekend. This is also with emails, facebook etc all polling at 30 min intervals, wifi on but not always connected and screen on auto brightness. I had also conditioned the battery by fully charging and discharging about 5 times when the battery was new.

Is ExtendedBatterie Worth it? and which is best?

Hi all,
i have a I9100, but the battery life is really bad, ihave to charge it up about 3 times a day.
i was wondering if getting one of thoses extended batteries (the ones which go in the phone, not the ones you plug in to the phone) is worth it?
and if they are, which one do you guys recomend?

You will get ~20% more juice with genuine battery. If you are charging your phone 3 times per day I don't think it's worth it.
P.S. What are you doing with your phone?

Wow 3 times per day? What`s your screen on time when you have to recharge? Maybe some Wakelocks?
However, a new battery the 2000 mah from Samsung can add some juice for about 2 more hours. At least for me it`s the case. With the normal battery I had about 16 h of juice, with the new one I can go with 18 h but of course depends on usage.

Hi, i get about 5 hours battery with about 3 hours screen time before I have to recharge, and is the any larger battery's then the 2000mh one?

I think that there is something wrong, 5 hours is pretty bad. Instal Betterbatterystats and look if you have wakelocks.
Ok if you watch HD videos all the time while your screen is on or you play games very often then 5 hours is understandable.
There are batteries that provide over 2000 mah but they are not Samsung certified and could damage your phone and they are significantly bigger.
Do you use any rom or any modified kernel?

So you are on your phone 6-9 hours every day How is that even possible?

You really should read some other threads before actuly posting a question about the same thing that has been repeated 100 times.

If you are using mobile data all the time, that is normal... You use your phone a lot! Genuine 2000 mah battery would give you another hour of use
Go to general section, you will find many configs (UC/UV) fot better battery life.

Dude,if you're not using airplane mode ,then the problem with your battery is bad network signal.On your screenshots i can see that most of the time you have no network.When you have no signal ,the phone works to find it,thus eating the battery.

Hi, i only have airplane mode turned off for about an hour, and where it says the us no network signal is because the phone is in airplane mode

5h is really short. What r u doing? Playing all the time? I world consider to restock to ICS to check if changes you made could actually degradated power efficiency.
And for sure dont mess with CPU cores - by disabling second core you loose 50% processing power and gain very little teorethical battery juice. Android needs to work longer and harder to perform tasks.

Based on his screen shoot he's in airplane made 90% of the time... His mobile sign would be red if there was no cellular connection.
On the side note regarding the battery it might be that you might need a new battery try the 2000mah one it gives me 5hrs of screen time with around 20hrs of total use on AOKP. If not there are plenty of 3000mah batteries available that can boots your battery life tremendously and increase the bulk of your phone, and you decide. Btw based on what you said 9 hrs of sitting in front of your phone is not normal in one day. You don't even need bb to see what's causing the wake locks.... It's clearly the user the screen time on is consistent with the wake locks.

EXTREME Battery Loss (CM9)

Greetings!
I am currently using a Sprint Epic 4g (SPH-D700) with ICS (CM9-epicmtd) and the regular Cyanogenmod kernel. I have followed the guides on here and on the CM9 forums for battery life including blacklisting certain apps, changing settings, messing around with performance settings, etc. With all of that, I usually get around a 4 hour battery with normal use (Spotify Music, GVoice Messaging, Occasional Reddit App), during school I have to charge it every other class or else it will die. I have become used to carrying my charger around but I think I figured something out so I wanted to know your ideas on it.
At home, I only use Wifi, I turn off 3g access. I can get 8hour battery at home. But right as I turn on 3g, I get MAJOR battery drain and the phone gets extremely hot.
I just wanted to know, is it the phone? The battery? The OS?
Thanks

USe this app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809)
It will show you what processes/apps are eating battery. I'd also suggest you do a dry run with turning off all sync/streams/data usage for a day or so to see how the battery reacts. Chances are good that you also have an old battery.

Didn't wanna make a whole new thread so I hope this would be the right place to post this since I also want to know "is it the phone, the battery, or the os?" lol.
I'm having terriblee battery results with my phone. Its been happening for like 3 weeks now and I thought the reason was because my batteries got wet (I have like 5 batteries, 4-1500 mAh, and 1-1800mAh). They all die pretty quick I can get about 2-2 1/2 hours of screen time in about 12-14 hours. Which is terrible cuz I have screenshots that I randomlly took of my battery from before and there's times where I would get 4hrs of screen time on in about 20 hours total or I could go about 30 hours with 3 hours of on screen time. I've tried different ROMs and even odined to stock and tested things out and still my phone dies super quick.
My questions:
When the battery has water damage the little paper tab thingy turns pink right? What if it is removed completely?
And is there anyway that my phone just isn't working right because of having damaged battery?
Because right now I'm using a 3500 mAh battery and I'm getting almost the same results that I used to get with my 1500 mAh ones.
Does anyone know anything I could try to see what happens lol?

To cure your problem. ....
New device for first time comes to life doesn't have calibration set by OP system. .....
So first charge your phone to full and go beyond warning to charge and go down to 3-4 % remaining charge then plug to charge and charge without stopping to 100%
And do 2-3 times like this then your battery discharge will show properly
Also good habits are to use .....
Hold home button for 2-3 second and open little bottom screen click on bottom left and choose ram.....then clear ram....any time you going to idle and each time you going to charge. .....to find more about what this do search XDA .....
Also there is many hungry apps on market that runs under ground all the time. ....so learn and discover how to take control of your phone and make it run like champion
#2 you can use ES task manager to do some fine tuning to get the most juice of your battery
#3 Better battery stats
#4 Battery booster
#5 Juice defender. .....are some alternative to top of the iceberg on your solution. ....or you can take time and learn to do all this by yourself manually

Depends when you do the test because more people may be on the network at certain times. But I thought lte wasnt launched in nyc yet...

I was considering picking one of these up if the battery was better than what I'm getting with the One but sadly this seems worse. I'd like to see more results before concluding that it's any worse.

you could be right.
the representative told me LTE was in New York City but as we know they know nothing... its still weird that when the phone is set to LTE auto he gets slower speeds than one connected on HSPA plus.
