Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use
none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%
i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant
on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger
this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.
Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?
tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS
see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.
hope that helps
well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up
I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.
I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.
I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.

What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash

what do you mean time without signal? and cant flash the build or radio without root(if thats what you meant) im fully charging it now and removed all of my apps...and going to see what happens from there
I've been using mine off and on mostly text, web and speedtests for 4 hours off the charger and my battery is at 91%

I cant tell if it's always been like this. Or if this actually isn't normal because I'm always concern with battery life. Im a very heavy user in the sense my phone will be on and im texting, xda, social apps i.e google +, email check every hr, and twitter.
However, i started feeling like my battery has been draining alot faster when the screen is on. I have no problem with the phone sleeping. I was experience this on Calk rom and now acs ics rom. I literally can look at my battery percentage drop 10% in like a half hour. Is this normal if screen is on the whole time? I've used better battery stats and system panel I can't find anything causing the drain. I see the suspend and events but doesn't that effect the phone sleeping?

Are you on the new modem? Looks like you have weak a signal. EG31 might help a little if your not on it already. I used the full EG31 tar right when it dropped and have been getting great battery life (it may be to early but so far so good)

turn your display down to under 50% you won't see a difference except outside in daylight and kill this app every time you reboot the phone hit Settings>Applications>Running services then hit DRM content > stop > ok
I get over a day on one charge.

Ok ill try the drm content stop..however my display brightness is already down at like 10%.
Also, kill the Social Hub as well, that drains the battery significantly.
You might try one of several roms available in dev. They address most of the aforementioned issues.

The biggest battery drain reason is the location by wireless network option. Make sure its unchecked. Ever since I did that, my battery life has been awesome. I get to keep my brightness high, Bluetooth on, etc...

All the basics (brightness and all that stuff) on top of the stuff you have running. The darn task killer/manager I see in the icon top left of your screenshot is a HOG on resources check the caching... You can literally **** with these phones for half a day to set it up the right way to conserve. I think wireless is hogging too but I am talking primarily about the first part of your rapid loss, the left part of the graph so to speak.

I purchased an extended battery and was still getting crappy battery life. SpareParts always FC'd on me... but last night I found Badass Battery Monitor in the market and in my opinion it's even better than SpareParts!
It helped me find that the Hotmail app was keeping my phone awake for almost an hour every day even though I had it set to download email only once a day. Removed that right away.
Plus it gives a great % readout in notification of the battery level. I think it's a fairly new app, but it really is worth checking out especially if you're having battery drain problems.
Just killing Social Hub has increased my battery life significantly. I'm at 11 hours now on battery, with 62% left. This is from last night when I unplugged the phone at 100%.

I'm on the Sydnicate Rom there isn't even no social hubb app. He has alot of the mods like noCiq and everything. My phone sleeps well its just when I start using it I can see it basically draining like 10% every half hour. I'm a heavy user I know my phone will drain fast while I'm on it I just would expect it to last 8-10 hours on heavy use.
Right NOW:
I'm at 4 hours 12 mins 22 secs at 37% left.
Display Time is 50% 2 hrs 41 mins 51s (Brightness is set all the way down)
Android OS 10%
So I'm assuming in 2 more hours my phone will die. If this is just normal for a heavy user then I guess I have to deal with it?
I was very disappointed with my Epic Touch when I first got it. I was getting a dead battery in about 6 to 8 hours no matter what I did or did not do.
Calibrating the battery seems to have fixed it.
I'm at 73% battery with 8:32 hours up time and I've made about 12 calls ranging from 2 to 10 minutes.
I've also checked voice mails, emails and other stuff.
I just charged the battery til it was full, plugged and repeated until it stayed at 10%, popped into CWM5 and cleared the battery data and then used Battery Calibration from the market (free) and it's like a got a battery upgrade!
As far as wake lock issues, I've not having any of those. I took my charger off the phone around 3:30am this morning (100% charge) and when I left for work at 6:50am, I had 98% battery still.
When I got to work it was down to 96%, I checked my email on the drive there.
I'm trying this out, wish me luck.
There doesn't seem to be any possible way to charge my battery to 100%, unplug it and not have it immediately drop to 99%.

If those screens are both from the same charge, I see nothing wrong with your phone.
you have 17% left, and you have 2.5 hours of screen on time. So you're on target to get just over 3 hours of on screeen time which is completely in the norm for these phones. AND you're over 12 hours. I don't understand what else you could ask for?
People get all caught up on total charge time, but, to be honest, it's completely IRRELEVENT.
If I dont use my phone I'll get easily over 48 hours out of the phone... Screen on time is what matters. And from a full charge, if I were to use my phone for 4 straight hours without stopping, it would be about dead. When the screen is on, you're using the phone, and the display is the biggest battery suck out there. When I do all the tricks to conserve battery, and I set it up right, I get 4 hours screen on time, which is pretty incredible with these phones.
Now, If you WANT to get better then you have right now, a few things are coming into play.
1) Your signal is weak, this will suck power no matter what more then it should, so get better signal if you want some more time out of your phone.
2) If you installed a new rom, and you didn't calibrate your battery properly, you're losing battery life.
to calibrate properly:
a) download battery callibration app from market
b) charge to 100%
c) unplug battery charger and REPLUG IN and wait for 100%
d) repeat step c a couple times
e) while plugged in hit the calibrate battery button in the app
f) unplug phone and use til dead and recharge
This will yeild you the best battery life.
3) De-Theme. Although I use a theme, every theme I've tested, for one reason or another, drains my battery faster then running the stock phone theme.
4) If you haven't done the basic battery saving things, you should do them to help yourself out. Here's a few I use.
a) Turn off background data, you only need it on to use market
b) Turn off, or set sync for all email and social apps at as long intervals as possible
c) dont use any widgets
d) download watchdog lite so you can see when apps are acting up and using extra battery
e) when you're done using your phone, open task manager, kill all apps, and clear memory
f) always leave the brightness off automatic and as low as possible
g) download SETCPU and run your phone at 800mhz, and undervolt as much as possible (50mv most all phone can take)
h) use black or dark wallpapers, on LED screens back means the pixel is off which uses less battery
G will be your biggest battery save. I've also tried using the SUPERFREEZE thing in the dev section and, besides in sleep mode, I saw no adverse effect. If you wanna kill socialhub, fine, but I dont see any noticable difference on my phone with it off.
If you do all these I promise you'll get better battery life.
Wow, I did a proper calibration today and I'm getting great results already. I've calibrated before but I never had cleared stats in CWM or did the unplug then replug charging thing.
Anyways, I after 12 hours I'm still at 35%! The longest I've ever gone before is 12.5 hours. Screen on time = 1 hour 30 min, but some of that was a battery intensive game (puzzle quest 2). Also i'm running calk's rom, so i'm sure that helped.
Thanks kdoggy, i didn't expect to see results this great.
Those are good tips too Jermzz, thanks!
Everyone's always talking about battery life around here, but all those discussions about how long everyone's phone lasts seem pointless. Sure, one guy might be getting 30 hours of battery life, and some other guy might be getting 10 hours, but that could happen with both of them using the same phone if the first guy never touches it while the second guy is a gamer.
So in the interest of having a more useful discussion about battery life, I was hoping people could share how much their phone drains an hour while not being used, along with their configuration. That's what most people actually mean when they talk about battery life, how long it lasts when they're not using it.
By idle I mean with data connected (either WiFi or cellular), accounts syncing, but screen off and sleeping.
I'll start off I'm seeing battery use of about 3-4% / hour, I'm running Juggernaut 5 with faux kernel 009m, no undervolting or overclocking beyond whatever faux kernel 009m comes with.
I get about the same with just about the same setup as you and I think its high drain to be honest, but it gets me through the day. I get anywhere from 10-16 hours on a charge with an average of 3 to 3.5 hours of screen on time. It gets me through my long school days easy. I don't care for getting 20+ hours on one charge, because I actually use my phone and charge it every night.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Around 2% per hr.

On warfare ROM, getting 2% per hour with wifi on
Getting about 2% drain every 7 hours overnight with background data on at the moment
Im at 30hr usage with about 25% battery power remaining on the stock rom. Battery isnt as nearly as bad as i thought.

your post is confusing because cell standby is not the same as cell data. it also doesn't say how often the phone is syncing data... once per day?
in any case, i drop about 1% every 2 hours will cell standby (radio) on. stock rom, faux 009 kernel, nexus battery.

What do you mean cell standby is not the same as cell data. What's the difference? Basically, I just mean with some sort of data connection set up, not in airplane mode.
Regarding syncing data, data syncing is continuous as long as you're connected if you have your accounts syncing under settings. There's no way to change the amount of times per day it syncs.
1 to 2 percent drop per hour.
Refer to my sig for more details.
cell standby is when your phone can receive phone calls and texts. cell data is internet, like 4g.
most people like to have their phone useful as a phone, so cell standby is usually on. but data syncing does not have to be continuous. you can open the internet connection for 10 seconds every minute, or a minute every hour, more often during work hours, etc. that's how apps like juice defender work.
also, 2g takes less battery than 4g. so if you're syncing with the display off, you could sync on 2g and just browse the web on 4g. it takes some effort to switch, but tasker can automate this.

Never mind.
I get about 1/2% drain per hour on standby. Im running Darkside Digital 2.4, it comes out of the box underclocked. Thats on 4g, data syncing once a day, gps off, and alot of apps I dont use frozen or uninstalled.
I get about a 30% drop in 5 hours of no use..with data and wifi off. Now that is bad

That's really bad. Sounds like something is wakelocking your phone, you should get BetterBatteryStats and see what's holding the partial wakelocks.
I changed my kernel from faux 009m to Bullet, and set the governor to ondemand.
Cut my idle battery usage down to about 1% an hour, which is a great improvement from my previous 3% an hour.
My phone has been in Stanby since 7am (starting with 100% battery) and its now at 80% battery...

running jauggernaut 4.1, juice defender on (free version), email set to sync once every 4hrs, wifi on, data off, BT and GPS always on, loses about 1-2% per hour during sleep. sometimes it goes a little crazy and lose like 5-8%/hr, but it goes back to normal after reboot.
after talking to lg and rogers i found a way to fix my battery bug or what ever it was........
Issue: weak battery-very bad battery life-needed to charge twice a day on normal usage. Lg and rogers both said its a hardware issue and need to be replaced......(IT WASNT)
Solution few easy steps should fix it:
1. Let your battery die to 0%. It drives down by 2%. Turn it on, it will let you turn it back on and shots automaticly back down. do it a few times till it shows0%!!
2. Plug it into your charger and let it charge to 100%.
right now its 2 pm i started using the phone at 9 am haevy!! besides that is my s3 that i used half as much today. Battery life on the optimus G is 60% and on the S3 55%. Battery life of the LG seem to went to normal. they claim its 40% better then on the s3. im trying tomorow on eco mode see if there is a difference.
PS: sorry for my english im italian live in canada and grew up in germany haha
I'm not so sure this is a good thing to do. I've read that you should never allow a Li-Po battery to drain completely because it physically damages it.
Then again, it's hard to find credible information on the subject.
Edit: Wikipedia cites the following article which states that overdischarging will damage the battery: http://www.powerstream.com/li.htm

Damage is when you leave battery discharged for some time, short period = almost 0. Of course there is little damage by doing this but no more than frying your phone at 100% Sorry for my english..

It calls the placebo effect.
Li-polymer batteries calibrated on factory and they absolutely dont like deep discharging.
By the way LG promised 800 cycles of charging before the battery will start dying. I think in case of full discharge, the amount of cycles will be greatly reduced.
I have provisioned my battery which means going from full charge to 0 three to 4 times when I first got it and I always get a full day with medium use now.

I'm wondering, if this provisioning is so helpful for a battery, why wouldn't they do it at the factory?
After reading your guys' posts I decided to do a bit of a test.. I ran my phone all the way down from 100 to 0.. phone turned off.
Then, I turned my phone on about 5 times which then would immediately shut off onve booted to the os.
Then, I turned the phone on and placed it in the recovery mode.. doing this ensured that the screen stayed on until the phone was indeed drained entirely.
Then I charged it up till 100% before I went to bed, turned airplane mode on, closed the screen and went to bed.
Wake up this morning and looked to see how much battery drain occurred during sleep.
After about 5 minutes of using my phone it dropped down to 97%.. only lost 3% overnight. I was very pleased to see this as it confirms in my case that the phone is able to go into deep sleep.
I've also noticed that my battery seems to be draining slower than before.. before I could surf the web for ten minutes over wifi and lose a full 10% of battery.. so far today I've been on the web, downloading email, messing with some apps for around an hour or so and I'm currently at 86%.. definite improvement I believe.
And FYI this is with eco mode off, screen at 50% brightness, no gps and sync on sparingly. This is also on the latest update (my phone is on bell)

It's bad to constantly cycle it full to empty. A full cycle once in a while is fine and on some devices it's necessary to calibrate the battery. Additionally, it's not good to store the battery empty. There's no harm in letting it drain all the way occasionally although killing it then further killing it in recovery is probably overkill.
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda app-developers app
Indeed, I only did it in the hopes that it would help to recalibrate the battery.. I recently was forced to run a flash back to the original firmware using the kbz method.. I was able to bring back to stock but noticed afterward that my battery life did not seem anywhere near as good as it was prior.
It could be that the kbz I flashed to was the newest updated version and it just isn't as good with the battery life but I felt it was worth trying draining all the way to see if it would help.. it does seem to have helped a bit though my battery still shows that android system keeps awake for 4+hours which is odd..
Anyway, once in a while I don't see it being a big deal.
If anyone is going to attempt the things mentioned here, why not do us all a favor and post some actual numbers from Better Battery Stats (a before and after) for some real analysis.
I'm not implying that anyone is lying, but it is just too easy to perceive an improvement when that is what one is expecting.
The plural of anecdote is not data.

according to my experience, the original one is the best
When I had my Note 1, for some reason over night it would drain like 50% of the battery, no idea why so I sold it. When I has my iPhone the most it ever drained over night was about 5%, 4 and 5. Last night my Note 2 drained about 12%, the only App open was the Alarm.
I know 12% isn't anything major, but with the problems I had with the Note 1 I just don't want to wake up have been fully charged the night before and then have to charge in order to even use it the next day. I need an alarm set or I won't wake up to go to work.
What is the best way to keep battery life over night but still have an alarm set?

Install betterbatterystats from playstore to keep a check on Battery hogging useless apps.
YOu dont need to keep the Alarm open in the background exclusively. When you set an alarm,it would be there untill you disable it manually.
12% overnight is a bit more than normal. For a 6-7 hours, battery drain should not be more than 5-6% when the screen is off and phone goes into Deep Sleep mode.
Why not just charge it over night so that you always wake up with 100% :S

Cause the charge cable is short and doesn't reach to a sensible spot for me to be able to quickly turn the alarm off before it wakes the rest of the house up!
I'll do a few more test runs before I install any battery apps, from what I have seen so far most apps actually mess up the battery for me. That Battery Widget Reborn on my Nexus 7 takes the charge time from about 2-3 hours to 7-8. And one's I've used in the past actually drain it quicker.

I know 12% isn't anything major, but with the problems I had with the Note 1 I just don't want to wake up have been fully charged the night before and then have to charge in order to even use it the next day. I need an alarm set or I won't wake up to go to work.
What is the best way to keep battery life over night but still have an alarm set?

Woah...never experienced that mate..did you turn off wifi?? For me 5 hours of sleep will only decrease 1 -2 %... stock rom dll7... check your apps in the background

A TRIANGLE AWAY will make your WARRANTY stay
Hit thanks if you love your phone =)
Ah that's a fair reason
I left mine off charge over night so I could compare. I left everything on as per my usual day (WiFi, GPS, auto sync) and had an alarm set.
I lost about 12% as well

Betterbatterystats is not an "battery" app. Is an app the monitors your phone and reports misbehaving apps or partial and kernel wakelocks.
It has nothing to do with increasing battery charge time.
Search it.

Thanks for doing that I turned my GPS off last night and results were a lot better. But awesome of you to try that

May have to give it a go if the problem persists, but for 10% battery it's not major. But thanks for clearing that up!
The only thing that you need to do is turn off data connections and wifi. This way I lose 1-2% battery life over night.
Well Android's ecosystem is made in this way. Literally you can't do anything. If an app or a couple of apps think that they need to run at a certain time, then they WILL run, it's as simple as that. No app is there to stop it, but yes some apps are there to make it worse, so stay away from them. One night you will notice 5% drain, the other night 10%, with same exact settings.
Still try to turn off Data/3G at night, if you don't need it. And get used with it
