not sure what to say about that,because im using starburst and am getting no where near that much
your screen isnt on that much,but i do see a lot of awake time, so the day is impressive. but i have to assume your brightness level was at like 5% or something? and seems like an 8hour period where you had no wifi or radio no?
Screen is on auto Wi-Fi was off while at work and while sleeping everything else was just texting and brief calls and some status updates via twitter Facebook and G+

Nice. My display on Starburst seems to take most of my battery life, but i haven't had the chance to really test it
You need to show on screen time. That is the most important part of how well battery is......If you do not turn your phone on, who cares if it lasts all day.
I am not rooted and have gotten 4 hours of on screen time being unplugged for 15.5 hours and plugging in at 5% battery left.
Those are the numbers that interest me and I don't think you can get much better then that even after rooting but I would love to see some stats to prove me wrong.

For me this is pretty Impressive, I'm coming from the samsung vibrant and I'm used to getting 9 hours tops with out doing anything on the phone so me getting a full 24 hours out of it doing things that I like to do for me is a big deal. if it doesn't impress you sorry but I'm pretty darn excited about getting this kind of life out my phone for my day to day use!

Yeah bro you need to click on display and snapshot that. The most I got out of it was 5.5 hours of on screen time. Which is pretty good. There are other phones, (gay iPhone), that can get like 8hours of display time until dead. That would be amazing for Android. I give it another 1-2 years and we will have Androids that embarass iPhone. This phone definitely kicked up the performance and added a bigger battery, so it will get easier as we go along.

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?
Cheers Corey

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?
Cheers

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.
Its on the first page as well...

Hi,
I use cm9 and siyah kernel, with the profile set to battery, the second cpu core disabled, and lots of other mods to make the battery last longer, but it won't get me fast 5 or six hours.
Is the battery life in the screens normal?.
And u did Google it first, but I couldn't find an answer
Thanks heaps

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.

Its kinda logical your battery don't last very long.... I mean your phone never sleeps. Its almost awake all the time!
I advise u to try betterbatterystats to find out what is keeping your phone awake all the time.....
And u probely don't wanna hear this but if u can't find anything wit BBS then try a fresh install , don't install apps or do any tweaking, and keep away from changing any kernel settings..

I think the original samsung extended battery is very good. My sgs2 without juice defender have a 16h standby with exchange push mails.

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.

So I am seeing allot of complaining about battery life and the Camera. I have not seen any issue other than the screen lag in full HD. Though it does lag as you move on screen it does not seem to effect the recording. It even takes crisp snap shots while recording.
The camera itself seems to be much better. Not sure why others are having issues other than they are not setting the camera up or something.
Battery life is fine and have seen allot of others say the same.
Here are some shots that where taken on auto today and some screen shots of the battery stats. Video to come shortly and I hope this will clear up some miss information that is floating around.
I've gotten mixed results. Daylight pics look good but night shots have quite some noise. Will do more tests later(its getting dark here). Battery performance... Well i flashed yesterday so it's too soon to tell.

I have found camera to be really Good.
And regarding battery life, if you turn on the Extended standby mode; it is amazing.
I noticed some lag while focusing on auto mode(no flash) on the first pic. Didnt happen on the second one.

Nice feedback everyone. I think we all know the digital zoom is poop but that is pretty much all devices. I can say that shooting in low light is a bit of a challenge and will for sure give some mixed results but if you play with it a bit you can still get a good shot as can be seen in some of the shots. I will play with the video some tomorrow.
Forgot to add the battery stats was with stamina off and no helper apps. I am interested to see how long it will go with it on.

So as the title says, does the m8 stay noticeably cooler than the m7 during light use on 3g and using gps etc? And how hot does it get while gaming?

What is the ambient temperature around where your stay? In Mumbai, it's around 35c during the day, will that have any effect on the heat, and in turn on the battery life?

Nice! Just hate the weather here I barely get 3 hrs of screen on time with very light use, all because of the heat.. Anyways, in other areas, how is the overall build? Susceptible to scratches?

Hey guys,
So I just moved from iPhone finally, first few days with the G3 and I'm wowed of course, my only concern is that I expected the battery to be a lot better, of course it's better than the iPhone, but I did not expect it to drain so fast, first few % goes slow but then it drops fast, and I'm not doing anything special or massive use, brightness set to auto, and it's trickle charged, I dropped to like 20% after 2:20 hours of screen use.
So my question, is that what I can expect from the G3 because of the massive resolution? or it's just on the beginning?
Would love to hear from your experience! any tips would be cool!
Thanks!
Its because of the qhd screen, better screen, more battery drain, if u root u can adjust a few things to help a little, mine isent to bad
My first 10 percent drop I can get almost a hour of screen time, barely 2 1/2 at 50%. Thinking of returning this for the M8..

This is true, but because you're a new user, I'd highly recommend not rooting for a while, until you've worked out the kinks in your phone. You can set the brightness to a certain percentage, and then auto-brightness uses that percentage as a base and will not let the screen go lower than that level. As for apps that can help you out, I use and highly recommend this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.powersaver
You can select 3 different levels of saving, and I seem to get around 20% more battery life when use it. Or you can look for anything else along those lines. LG also has some built-in tools to help keep your battery going. There's the built-in battery saver option: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-battery-saver-lg-g3
There's also a few other things, this site covers it pretty well: http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-g3-help-tips-and-tricks
Anyways, hope that helps, and welcome to the family!
Hey thanks for the help guys!
I will definitely try some of the suggestions, and also considering to root it.
Does it get better with time tho? I mean this is just my 3rd of 4th cycle.
Thanks again guys!

Yes, usually takes a few circles to the battery to settle down. Mine at the beginning was draining fast too but now I'm getting almost 5 hours of screen on time. That's pretty good in my opinion. I use my phone a lot and by the end of the day I'm over 30%. My gs4 was over way before that.

My battery was terrible the first week. It's gotten much better since. So it will calm down after a bit.

My battery was horrible the first week on my g2 but seems better on the g3, I don't think it will get better than this and if it does that's awesome!
I also feel like it doesn't use as much battery when screen on as my g2 did.
