Need battery tips for 6+ hrs screen time

Hi guys using wicked with trinity 7b. See a few people posting 2 days on one charge and over 6 hours screen time. Would like to know how as i cannot get anywhere near that. I use system tuner, odex my Rom and kill my tasks whenever possible. I use lh2 modem.
Anyone with huge battery time please help us out here. I'm sure many of us would like some help. Also if you tweak your build.prop press share that.
Looking for details. I'm not a noob

They are not using the stock battery. If you want battery like that, buy an extended battery. That is the only answer.

What I find most telling in many of these screen shots is that Device Idle and Cell Standby are almost always in the top.

Cell standby is actually lying. It was coded with a decimal in the wrong place and so it shows that it uses a lot more than it actually does. Purely cosmetic really, but can be annoying when testing battery issues.
Edit: many custom roms have corrected this btw.

No it's on stock battery. I get about 5 hours now looking to take it to a higher level. Pun intended

Ya, I saw that before. There is a zip floating around here somewhere that moves it from .34 to 3.4 and fixes it. But you're right that most custom ROMs have this (Cell Standby) fixed.
I just mainly think that Device Idle even being in the top 3 or 4 is a very telling sign that the phone is not being used very much.

Install the easy battery saver app.

I hate to be the jerk... but OP has spammed every rom thread nearly bugging about screen time. Nowadays its hard to get 6+ hours of screen time. Maybe switch to an older, dumber phone with not as sexy as display and you will have better luck. Or carry a spare battery... or strategically place chargers in common spots.

The only way i could probably make 6 hours screen on time would be to lower brightness all the way down, turn off data whenever Im not using it, turn of autosync, underclock and undervolt. But then what would be the point of me having such an awesome phone

I do all those things (-underclocking and undervolting), and more, because I don't need most of this on all the time, and my screen time is great. Plus, I bought a 4400mah extended battery & get 4-5 days on a single charge.

Then u need an old nokia.

When you plug you phone in the charger the hours reset, my screenshots were to show that its not impossible to get 6+ hours, if I under clock and turn everything off I can probably get that.
The liquid smooth ROM has amazing battery life, you should give it a try I think you will like it.

Screen shots are great guys. I do want to see them. Most importantly trying to see if there are deeper settings and apps to freeze or avoid and tweaks to build.prop etc.
Rom and kernel and modem used would be helpful.
Also, you did charge but the timer will only reset when you fully charge the phone.

When this issue happened to me, I took my phone into the Sprint store and they tested and found that the battery was bad. I had tried the phone of a couple of different car chargers before that and I received that same message on all of them.

Universal car chargers are very bad for batteries. You always want to charge your phone more on the original charger. Only use a car charger when it is absolutely necessary to charge your phone.

Sprint will tell you it is a bad battery in order to keep from exchanging your device, this is the beginning part of the usb port starting to fail...I had this, I checked everywhere and then eventually the port gave in and went bad. Sprint exchanged my device.

Thanks guys. Yeah very weird. Never had a problem before but now even when i switch back to gb same result. So this could be a sign of usb port failure? Good thing my upgrades in march. fingers crossed i also land my job at sprint but **** man just to get hired what a process its been two weeks. Hopefully when i work there maybe i can put in my two cents that would actually be benefical to the devs.

Had this same issue yesterday after flashing FI27. Started with "voltage too high" eventually wouldnt charge at all. Luckily i have a repair center a mile ftom home.
Dropped off the phone and the rep seemed to be quite familiar with the problem. She said its been fairly common recently. They ordered me a new phone for Thur. Im pretty happy cause this assurion refurb has been locking up and running super hot since I got it.

Did you have to pay the $100 or whatever the cost of the deductible is?

Ever since I flashed agats 0.6.2 kernel my battery icon blinks. An even after unplugging the phone it still says its charging. Even if I take the battery out for hours today and put it back in it says charging on the lock screen and if I try to turn on adb it says please unplug usb cord. And the other weird thing is soon as I put the battery in it boots up with out holding the power button.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

If it's the same problem, I think it has to do with the charging circuits. My battery charged fine on an external charger. In fact at the Sprint store the were going to give me the old battery in my new refurb. Told them I didn't want it if there was a possibility the voltage protection was going bad, might have shortened its life.

How long does it take for a full charge? [Culprit: Bad USB cable]

Well I need to know from you guys, it's not that I don't know, but need to reconfirm. I think mine is taking much lower now than it was. A full charge, say from 5% to 100%, with Stock charger?
Thanks in adv.

roughly 1 percent for 1 minute. should be charged in a couple of hours

Charging from 0 to 90% happens in no more that 2 hours I would say. from 90% to 100% the charging rate gets slowed a lot. So basically shouldn't take more than 2:30 hours from 0 to 100%.

Thanks guys. Now I remember it was 2 hours 45 mins for me too at first.
Today it took 4 hrs 30 mins. Reason? I'll say tomorrow, after confirming.

I rarely charge it to 100%, usually to 70 or 80%. much better for the battery in the long term

Any research or refrence for this longevity ? I heard its always better to charge 100% ?

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

you are welcome. the general rule is to try to 1) avoid charging to 100%, really diminishing return the higher it goes; and 2) avoid deep discharge cycle. I usually use 40% of the capacity at work everyday, so charge to ~70% in the morning, use down to ~30% and then charge again. charging time in this range is rather linear, about 1 percent a minute

Yeah, it happened to mine too few days back. My Note2 went crazy, taking around 7-8 hrs to fully charge from 15%. So, i tried searching about the problem on google but to no avail. Did a factory reset with cache wipe and problem solved :good:. Now it takes about 2.5 hrs to fully charge from say 10% (using the samsung wall charger with phone switched on). I can only say that the slow charging was caused due to some software but don't know exactly which one? You may as well try the hard reset if anything else doesn't work out .
P.S : Btw i'm on stock fw with no root or mod! Only did some OTA updates couple of weeks ago.

Guys, we have a changeable battery and is already writed Inside to android that it won't charge to 100%, it just shows at 100% but really it is at 95%-98% that feature came with 2.2.1 update 2yrs ago.
And we can change the battery after 2yrs for 20-30$, unlike Nokia lumia users or HTC one x or iPhone users.

Yeah, thanks. But if you've Watchdog installed then you can see which app is going over threshold and keep running on background. And yes, this time, again, the culprit was PowerAMP! Uninstalled it and voila. The same app created problem for me when I had my S2, charging was pathetically slow, even I had to go to SC and they said battery is gone. But I didn't believe and asked a techy friend and he said it might be some app, and damn right he was.
Anyway, if anyone having the same issue like mine, that is, charging duration has increased with Stock charger, then install Watchdog (the lite version will do) and see who is the culprit.
I have no idea how a top app like PowerAMP could cause this! Jeez!

For some reason when I check the Battery section in Settings whenever in charging my phone with a wall outlet with a LG charger it shows that I'm being charged as USB and not AC... Is this normal? Even now my phone is losing battery strength and I'm barely using it..

You have to use a 1amp charger or its not strong enough doesn't matter who makes it...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

You have to use an official Sammy charger. The pins are switched around on Sammy chargers and the phone can tell the difference. Use ANY other charger, no matter the brand or amperage, and the phone will only charge at 350mah. Use a Sammy charger, and it will charge at the full 750mah or 1amp depending on the output of the charger. I have a stock 700mah Sammy charger, a 1amp iPhone charger, a few HTC chargers and 2 amp Sammy tablet charger. If I use the 1 amp Apple charger or any of the HTC chargers it takes 5-8 hours to fully charge. If I use the Sammy chargers it takes 2-3 hours to fully charge at the max. So.. yea. Get a stock Samsung charger.

Yes DUH. Because if you read the damn link I posted it CLEARLY says the kernel only allows the phone to charge at 900mah an hour or whatever the charger is rated at if it's below that number.
I'm not arguing with you anymore dude. Not only are you full of it but you apparently like to lie too. Your phone, no matter what charger you use, won't charge as fast unless you're using the Samsung charger. And even then, at 900mah an hour, it still takes almost 3 hours to fully charge with the phone on.
Also you're a flat out non appreciative douche. If it wasn't for TDJ lots would still be broken on this phone. You have plenty to thank him for and maybe if you played attention to what was going on in his threads you would understand why he left and came back a few times. YOU are what's wrong with xda. Making absurd claims that not only myself but PLENTY of other members know are untrue and criticizing others, especially recognized developers, without contributing a damn thing yourself.
Also let me add that you haven't been here longer than I have. You started your account on June 1st 2008, I started mine in March of 2008. Your idiocy is unfathomable.

You have plenty to thank him for and maybe if you played attention to what was going on in his threads you would understand why he left and came back a few times. YOU are what's wrong with xda. Making absurd claims that not only myself but PLENTY of other members know are untrue and criticizing others, especially recognized developers, without contributing a damn thing yourself.
Also let me add that you haven't been here longer than I have. You started your account on June 1st 2008, I started mine in March of 2008. Your idiocy is unfathomable.

O wow 3 whole months now you show you arrogance...anyone on here who has a Samsung phone will testify the fact that their phone charge just fine and just as fast of any charger they use that is one amp anybody disagrees with this let them come forward...just look it up... What the OP stated that his phone was discharging while using and all I did was try to help him and tell him the reason why that was happening...and your three months doesn't make you smarter than me.... Why don't you show proof of an article or a link that tells anybody on here at Samsung Chargers are the only charger that will charger phone properly... Besides Samsung that will tell you that just because they want you to buy their charger

Slow Charging

My phone takes 5 to 6 hours to fully charge. It started about 3 days ago. I've tried Odin back to stock. I've tried different ROMs. I have also tried changing chargers and even a different battery. What can this be. It sucks to have to wait so long for my phone to charge.

It started on liquid with stock kernel then I tried devil kernel and nothing. Then I went Jedi x then to carbon. And now I'm on slim ROM. I haven't changed kernels anymore because I'm getting great battery life on slim but the charging is still slow.

I remember you asked this question about the Perseus kernel also if your running slim 4.2 neak kernel v2.1 has a fast charge setting if on 4.2 download the neak kernel 2.1 and the uneak engine from the play store to utilize all the kernel has to offer

I had slow charging issues on Carbon, but it's been fine on any other rom I've used. I also use NEAK kernel now and no issues here. Rootbox actually works great with NEAK and no charging issues whatsoever. You should give that a try if you don't want to use touchwiz. www.rootbox.ca

What worked for me I just removed the battery and cleaned the contacts of the battery and phone I don't know it might work for u. Good luck.!

Thank you guys for your input. I've been using neak kernel and uneak engine and I wouldn't say my charging is like when I got the phone, but its definitely not taking 6 hours to charge. Its taking maybe 4 now.

They all the same t0lteatt or t0lte. Used both.

Try changing charging cable, the factory one is not good in quality. There's an app that show how many current is taking the n2 when charging. That will give you a glimpse to know what is the cause. Mine was the cable. Hope it helps!

Wife had the same trouble, new cord fixed it... then I had the same issue, new cord, fixed it again.
we went from charging for 6 hours and not hitting 100% (starting from about 50) to going from about 70% to 100% in about 1 hour and still (mildly) using the phone
Change your cord guys, the samsung one stops working so well after a while. also you can use "galaxy charging current" app from app store to see if you are getting good charge levels

Thanks but I stated it wasn't the cord. It charges my s3 perfectly and I've already tried different cords.
