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.

Thinking about getting it

I currently have the galaxy s2. Hows the battery life on the nitro? Cause I had the LG thrill and it sucked and so did the camera. How is that on the nitro?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App

Stock, the battery life of the Nitro isn't so great. About in the neighborhood of 8hrs with medium usage. If you don't mind rooting, debloating and tweaking than you can get better results.
The 8mp camera on the Nitro is decent to good. Sharpness, saturation and white balance are about on par with any other higher-end phone. The negative though is it can take up to 6 seconds from 1st shot before you can take the next shot...So this is NOT an action capable camera.

I wouldn't say 6 seconds, dat's a little steep, but definitely not instantaneous; ballpark i say is somewhere around 3 seconds shutter lag, but that might be due to the crappy 16GB class 2 SD Card that comes with most of the P930.

No lag on Class 4 sdcard, rooted, hard reset and debloated.

what does that cut the shutter lag to? have you tried a faster card than class 4?

I have a class 4 and it takes 2-3 seconds between pictures.

sounds like the class 4 takes a little more than a second off the process. i'm getting ~4 seconds shutter refresh on indoor well-lit snaps, maybe a bit quicker outdoors in full sun.
anyone tried a class 10? usually overkill for a p&s but maybe with this device........

Processing lag is about 2 seconds with class 4 but then I havent seen a phone that was faster. Is class 10 on the market? I saw class 6 but the reviews said that they write speed gain was barely noticable.

Btw this is my second day without recharging mid day so the baterry is not near as bad as evo 4g or any mobile on wimax.
Also for anyone that caress, the touchscreen is a bit different than on sg2 or skyrocket (a bit different response wise). I definitely noticed that I am making less mistakes while typing. It seems way more precise than anything before.

It's probably related to finger-to-finger difference. My typing on Nitro is way worse then on Atrix 4g, with keyboard buttons smaller then on Nitro.

My typing on my galaxy s2 sucks lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App

The keyboard on this phone actually drives me nuts sometimes. When posting for example, it's incredibly slow to register my inputs. But, over texting it's almost too sensitive. I don't know why but it also registers the first letter twice sometimes. I guess I just have to get more used to it. Wish it can be iPhone keyboard smooth.

just fine
At first I was skeptical of this phone.
Now, it works just well. I can stream music for an easy 6 hrs. I can do the same task I've done on any other phone with pretty much the same battery usage. If I'm having a slow day at work and I know I'm using my phone heavy I will plug it in and use it. Or if i'm driving I will have in charging. it's exactly the same way I treated my iphone or other phones in the past.
The soft keyboard is a bit touch and it does lag pretty good at times..
The phone is fair. There is really nothing out there that my provider can offer (BELL)
It's got the HTC RAIDER (even worse battery life) and the Nexus (no expandable storage) - which was actually the deal breaker. I do not like being restricted to 16gb max. I like to know I can carry another one with me or have a 32gb. I like to carry movies and music..
I still wish there were more phones with FM tuner built in.. That would be perfect!
Just my 2 cents I guess.

I bought the sgs2 skyrocket, exchanged it for the nitro HD, and then returned the device 2 days later. The battery life, even with little use, is bad. I would seriously think long and hard about making the switch.

It doesn't matter to me which phone folks get but 2 days with this phone is simply not enough time to accurately gauge this battery. Hell, I don't think a week is enough
This phone needs a fair bit of set-up, including full drains/charges and bloat cleared out, etc. but after more than a month with this phone I can say the battery is performing entirely different than it did on day 2 and it is not an issue (other than my trying to make it one).
The fact of the matter boils down to this for me:
I wanted the screen and I wanted the LTE. Those features are part of what defines this phone and those 2 features are the top battery drains and would be on any phone.

I agree with what Scott mentioned regarding the battery. A little over a month and now the battery can last much much longer even with gaming and all. Somehow the phone adapts to your usage and becomes more efficient. Not much more, but better than when it was fresh out the box.

I'm glad to hear that your experience is similar, says a lot about this device.
Another thing about the battery, it charges fast IMO. I like to let mine go to full drain before charging up and I just did a full charge in 1 hour ~40 minutes and that reflects most charge times for me.
I don't have much experience charging other smart phones but that's a very acceptable time for me.

Yup, indeed this phone's battery charges really fast, fastest of course with chargers that give out higher amps. Using the stock charger (1.2 amps) I can fully charge the phone at about the same time u mention, sometimes even faster. Using blackberry chargers (0.8 amps), it takes a bit longer, but still fast. It's nice to see a phone charge that fast. The atrix took a long time to fully charge, and that's not from a full drain too.

Another battery life thread...

So I've done my searching around. I really want a definite answer. My HTC Droid Incredible has ****ty battery life, to put it nicely. I can manage AT MOST 2 hours screen on time with no wifi (this is because I have unlimited data with Verizon). Battery life is a big priority with me when it comes to phones.
For the LTE Galaxy Nexus, what's the most screen on time you can get with 4G? And how much longer can you get if you disable 4G?
Also, if you were a Droid Incredible owner, how do they compare?

The incredible was my previous phone and I actually thought the battery life was pretty decent. I can get between 2.5 - 3.5 hours of screen on time with my Nexus. I usually keep 4G disabled as I don't need a 20 meg connection to sync my Gmail. On 4G you will probable get the same screen on time as the Inc.

Are you using the regular battery or extended?

I get at least 11 hours if battery a day with 3-4 hours of screen time on the stock battery. The incredible got horrible battery compared to this phone. I usually only turn on mobile data when i use it and I'm always using LTE.

I'd say without much tweaking the usual benchmark is 3hours screen on time.

I just upgraded from the incredible. It's much better than the stock incredible battery (which quite frankly was unusable)... not as good as the seido extended battery I used for most of the time I had my incredible (that battery was actually overkill.. when new I would get almost 3 days.. lol)
I have no problems making it through the day with moderate usage (which I was not able to do on the stock incredible battery)

its funny with the extended battery i get around 10 hours, maybe 11 and the original battery is giving me around 13-14 hours, 3G on both, don't know what is going on.

yesterday i got about 7 hrs screen on, I'm unemployed at the moment, and i was playing ceramic destroyer for 3/4 of the time the rest was web surfing i still had 15% left. I'm on gummy latest using lous v3 kernel. i didn't get a screenshot but i was impressed. was on 4g the whole time. i don't really use 3g so i can't comment on that aspect. my old phone was an incredible as well. i would say they're pretty close but I'm much happier with the nexus

My phone can burn 10-15% of battery juice an hour with heavy use. You could call that mostly screen on.

When i read my ebooks i can get 8 hours screen time. Black color, non cpu intensive, and after 1 hour its still at %90.
Theres a thread here where someone did screen tests, and they got 10 hours screen time on black, and 5 hours on white. So this phone is definitely capable.

Battery of the Gnex

So I bought a gnex a while ago, and the battery doesn't last very long.
Since I'm new in all of this I don't really know if it's normal and if it is what can I do to make it last longer?
My phone lasts about 10 hours with 3G and less than 2 hours of screen on..
It's the Google one which comes with 1750mAh standard battery. I thought of buying 2100 one but it seems very expensive unlike the bigger ones..
It costs around 35$ on ebay..
Also, can I use the Verizon or sprint batteries? From what I understand the official Samsung extended battery for Google nexus is 2000mAh? Why isn't it 2100 like Verizon?
So.. What should I do?
Thank you for your answer in advance!

My battery sucks as well I'm blaming the 4.2.1 update for making a bad battery even worse. Also the Verizon nexus is LTE enabled so its battery is even worse hence the bigger extended battery and even at stock the Verizon version has a bigger battery, the Verizon extended battery is not compatible with your Gsm nexus.

is it normal ?
50% battery drain in 1hour47mins(Screen ON completely), with BT n WIFI turned off, least brighntess, no background apps, background data off. Running on stock 4.2.1 rooted and hardly any apps installed. Used only whatsapp and was on xda via opera mini.
The battery sucks :/ Maybe its time to switch over to note2.
Waiting for ubuntu, if it can do anything to the battery life. Or, i would switch.

Bad Battery Backup??

Hi,
I have been getting only 20 hrs of battery and only 3 hours of screen on time. I have not used any processor intensive apps. Please check the images attached. Is this normal? I have bought it a week ago and I can get a replacement if the battery is defective. What do you think? Don't plan or rooting it.
P.S: I have chosen ogp over n5 because of the extra battery, but ogp's battery is equally bad.

Normal usage.
After playing 1hour of injustice i get around 3.30 of screen on time.

You need to understand that they provided the extra 'oomph' in the battery department, because this is a HUGE screen.
Another thing, is that LG's stock interface is filled with a lot of white menus, and submenus, etc.. That will also impact battery life more than you know.
Another factor to bring in to consideration is the cell coverage. Your phone has to work harder to acquire signal, in hard to reach places by your carrier.
All of these and more (wakelocks, no deep sleep, etc..) Have a big impact on your device's battery life.
