Just recieved my 2400 MAH extended battery, I have had the device running now for 12 hours straight with all connectivity turned on (including syncing, wifi, data) and in that time I have also done some web browsing. The battery is still at 100%.
I know it is an extended battery but still, by now my standard battery would be at 50% roughly.
My concept is that the standard battery the phone comes with maybe faulty or have some problems?
Any thoughts or ideas?

It heavily depends on the ROM you're using... I've tested several Sense and non Sense ROMs and the variation of the battery could go from 1 to 3 days aprox. I'm actually using OpenDesire latest ROM and its easy to get 2 days of battery life with a normal use and 3G/Sync enabled all the time.
Obviously having a more powerfull battery also helps...

Well i've got an unrooted desire and using stock 2.2 rom. The battery life has been so bad, even when i turn syncing off.
I know its an extended battery but still why was the standard battery so bad
Hmm. Not sure. I don't have a bad battery life, but that sounds pretty awesome as far as battery life goes. You wouldn't happen to have a link to where you bought that from would ya? Would be interested in taking a look at it my self. Is it larger then the normal battery, or just higher capacity? I know many of the aftermarket batteries are a good deal larger then the stock ones.

I can't see how your battery could possibly show 100% after 12hrs usage
It's either bad battery stats, or the battery status indicator isn't scaled correctly for your battery.
Regards,
Dave
it is probably because its voltage figure is still higher than that of a standard one.
I'm on CM11 M6 and I recently was forced to switch back to the stock OEM 2100 mAh battery from Samsung due to a heat problem with my external battery. I'm just trying to see if what I'm getting is normal battery life or if there is any tweaking I can do to improve battery life?
ROM: CM11 M6
Kernel: KT747 AT&T 4.4 with Asswax CPU governor and BFQ scheduler
Battery: Stock OEM 2100 mAh
You seem to be around normal results from what I've gathered. On stock battery you should be getting around 4hrs of screen on-time. This of course varies on the age of the battery as they run out of juice as they get older.

4.3 touchwiz only gets me 2:45 on screen time, 4 hours is generous.

I've only ever been able to get 4+ hours of screen-on time with a larger 4200 mAh battery from Hyperion. At the most on either AOSP rom's or stock rom I get about 2.5, MAYBE 3 hours depending on kernel setup.

Yeah thats way below norm imo. I can't prove it atm as I haven't used my phone as much today but I've attached a SS of my stats as they stand atm.
I've got approx 2hrs of listening to music on there. Thus the large difference between screen on/awake time. Otherwise after 10+ hrs of discharging it's looking great to me.
I'm thinking of leaving my screen on for a couple hours tomorrow, I'll come back with the results if I do perform the test.

Here you go gents, after 2hrs of screen on time I still have 50% of my battery remaining. Leaving me with approx another 2+hrs in the remaining battery life as the initial 2hrs was gathered in almost 5hrs. This is using the stock Samsung 2100 mAh battery.

How are you achieving these stats? One of the things about Android that really pisses me off is I always feel the need to do my own power management and I can't seem to find a way that sticks.

I don't do much to be completely honest. The only thing I do specific to power management is use Greenify to Hibernate apps that are causing excessive wakelocks.
Other than that, I have Quantum 3.63 ROM with QuantumKernel 3/16 installed running with intelliactive and row.

Hi,
My LG G3 D850 battery is going down pretty fast and always gets about only 18 hrs of standby time (less than 4 hrs on screen) no matter what I did. In such a case, is the extended battery a good option? I already found a mpj 6000 mah extended battery, or ss something wrong with my stock battery? I don't really know much about the smart phones, but I really like this phone so if anyone could help me fix the battery issue thank you so much!
What's your brightness? I'm getting about the same 18hrs too with my battery. I usually have the brightness on 50%.

4hrs on screen is pretty normal depending on your usage. That being said, look into Greenify. It should help a bit.
Remember that this is a 4k display, which is harder on the battery. Some people make it to 6hrs+ screen time with mods, you can look into that if you'd like but being new to smart phones, it's not the first thing I'd suggest.

Guys im sorry but i have rushed a few replies to get the 10 posts but can you please not take this down i need to know if this is legit as my money back only lasts a certain amount
Ok so i bought a lg g3 from ebay, Its legit i have tested with antutu officer but it can get really hot and battery drains very quickly when watching movies and games.
My screen usage is always above 60% but i have screen on 30 seconds and 0% bright. My phone also says that i have used like 1000 mah at 50% but it should say 1500 mah.
I have a d851 and marshmallow and use my phone only with wifi no gps/nfc i also dont have background apps
My phone gets 188 mins on gfxbench

Why should it say 1500 mah? The screen is not the only thing that drains the battery, you know that, right?
Running any benchmark will cause many battery drain. Don't do that. And that app you have to see the cpu temperature, 42º is not high for CPU. For battery it is.

What help? Get a new battery or go away from Snapdragon devices. And, the screen usage is about right, because i don't know if you know, but the screen you are staring at is 1440x2560, or 2K, which is an insane resolution, and crammed in a 5.5 inch display at 538 ppi, it will consume A LOT. And the battery is just 3AH, which seemed much, but compared to the S5, with a 1080p display and a 2.6AH battery, the G3 has the worst SOT out of the 2014 flagship lineup.

The 2K screen doesn't consume that much power. There are mods which allow you to lower the resolution, but you won't see much or any increase in battery life or performance (maybe in games it's going to be most noticeable).

Sounds like a bad battery. Quite possibly a reason why the other person decided to sell it in the first place. How old is the device that you purchases?
You can get an original replacement battery online for a few dollars. Just make sure you use a reputable vendor, like LG's official website.

Its brand new thats why i'm worried and i have downloaded a few battery checking apps and they say battery health is good.
But when i add up usage it totals lower then the battery capacity, they total up to 1000mah at 50%, when it should be 1500mah
Do you have any benchmarks i can try so i can see if its working right or its just me.

Oh so it's a brand new LG? How many hours of screen usage are you getting, what usage (web browsing, checking email or playing games?) and with what period of idle time.
Don't trust the numbers in the battery stats, especially in a new ROM. They are supposed to get better over time but I've found them to be wildly inaccurate even on months old ROM. I haven't really found an application you can benchmark accurately with.
But you compare with other (real) results on the foruns and rather you get the hang of what's the normal usage you should be getting out of a good battery.
Did you make a day without running any benchmark apps? What is your SOT? Standby time? Do you have location,wifi,bluetooth,NFC,mobile data on?
All of this matters. You shouldn't start right away with "I have problems with my battery" if you are running benchmark apps. Benchmark apps drains battery!
Wait a few days without running that apps and see how it manages. Another thing. The battery stats, the mah usage, not all of the things appears in the default android battery stats. And another thing, the battery value (the percentage of the battery), it is an approximation. Sometimes it could go up without charging, it is because it detected that has a wrong value. You could try charge your phone to 100%, usage it normally until 0%, until it turns off. Then charge it again to 100% and use it normally (don't discharge to 0% to many times, it just hurts the battery).

Streamed from the internet with at least 1h10 SOT, that is not bad. That is almost 4 hours SOT. If you have 1h12 minutes SOT, that is 4 hours. It is good.

Oh yeah, considering you even streamed the movie, it's signs of a good new and healthy battery. 3 hours of SoT with internet browsing is quite the norm, and 4 hours is on the up side.
I can barely get to 2 hours of SoT with my now aging battery.

It's not about the software side of things, it's about that my battery is old now, and that's why happens to old batteries, the just deteriorate.
Thankfully the LG G3 has an easily replaceable battery, and I have a replacement waiting for me. Not getting a phone on which you can't remove the battery..
And never found those apps like Greenify to really work, at least in the last few years of Android. The OS seems to be doing just of a good a job and I see no improvement in battery life. Maybe they help in cases with poorly written apps that are draining your battery in the background, but I don't see why would you use such a software in the first place.

That's why I confused, I saw two kinds of conflicted opinion on line
I have no issues in PE Plus regarding battery. A full charge lasts for one and half day, who is great for a workday.
Just wondering what do y'all think in terms of daily usage between aosp roms and miui/miui.eu?
Have the same issue. Battery goes down fast on my MI Note 2 (scorpio), lasts less then a day even when idle. Totally unusable as it is.
