Does anyone know how long the nexus can last when used solely for music? My old iPhone was able to achieve close to 40 hours and battery use was negligible, my nexus one was maybe 10-15 hours at most. Anyone have any experience?
i'm curious about the audio playback battery time as well...
Depends if your underclockeD while playing?
Just my spare change.
I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus and I listen to podcasts and pandora while at work, almost continuously, with some occasional interruptions (meetings, bathroom breaks, etc.) throughout the day. Some minor web browsing during my lunch break, and I usually have somewhere between 50-60% power left when I get home.
i have a suspicion that this phone gets very good audio play time because from listening to music for hours the battery barely drops compared to my previous android phones. i bet they did some hardware playback optimizations which increases power efficiency.
Much the same here, streaming radio obviously eats faster.
I lose about 2-4% an hour playing music. I would guess up to 50 hours in optimal conditions.
Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
I usually drain 4-5% per hour if I'm using Pandora over WiFi. I rarely load music onto my phone as I use an MP3 player because I'd rather not have the extra battery drain.
I got my S4 Mini for about a month and a half now, but since a few weeks my battery has been draining rather quick..
When going to school i listen to music, Whatsapp a bit and browse 9Gag (via the app) a bit also while i'm in the train and bus (about 1 hour and 15 minutes in total to get to college) and my battery is drained about 25% in 45 minutes
I found out that Updates security.policy is draining my battery quite a lot, and it's also using some data
Anyone knows what this service is, and if i could disable it?
I've added some screenshots from Better Battery Stats
Just wondering, my tablet doesn't seem to have good battery when on screen time with power saving on.
It's like 10% per 30 minute drain when browsing or playing gta san andreas.
And 10% per 25 mins while sketching.
All of these with the least brightness possible.
Whilst I just performed a battery antutu tester and the result was like 20% per hour max brightness and wifi.
I aslo have battery doctor.optimizer installed.
It was like it from the start. But I didn't noticed it much.

I get the worst battery life when playing games, likely similar to your findings. And the corner where the S-Pen is, gets very hot when playing games. If it was just playing games I am getting about 3-4 hours of on screen time.
However when I am watching online video or browsing the web, battery life is much better.

It is okay now ( I suppose) after a full charge cycle, 100-0 and 0-100
The gaming usage today was like 3 and half hours with 12% screen brightness and it lasted like from 100 to 51%. And the usage was continuous. (But with power saving on).
Hello everyone.
I currently own a Tab s 8.4 LTE version for exactly 40 days only. I began noticing battery being so weird last week so I will be direct and to the point as much as I can.
A week ago, I noticed that my battery isn't doing so well, I am just a med (sometimes heavy) tablet user ( I mainly chat, browse facebook, read articles, play some youtube videos and I play music as well) I had my battery charged to 100% before a car trip that lasted for around 4 hours, by the time I arrived to the destination, the battery was on 10% only.
Here is what I did on that trip:
1- Had Mobile network connected all the way (used it for chatting on whatsapp, facebook and reading some emails)
2- Listened to music for 45 mins.
3- Played 30 minutes of clash of clans.
When I arrived to my destination, I waited the tablet till it completely drain then I put it in charger ( I was astonished by the fact that when I instantly put the charger in, it read like 30% instead of 0 or 1%)
Anyway I charged it to 100% and went to test it by watching continuous non-stop 204 minutes of movie (Thats 3 hours 20 minutes) and I was happy that it only dropped from 100% to 67% with 50 percent brightness and (Wifi/Sync connected) then I played clash of clans, 15 mins of clash of clans dropped the battery from 67 to 53 so I was pretty much shocked (like 1 percent for every in-game minute!)
The third day I left it in standby mode to test if it drains unsually when it is idle, I left it for continuous 12 hours on 100% (Airplane mode on, no wifi, no sync) and it only dropped 3% in those 12 hours. I managed to acheive a 4h on screen and 1d 4h battery on time (Which made me pretty sure that the battery is not defective, may be just the reading is faulty)
I tested it today. Charged from ground zero up to 100% then I used it. My activity mainly was:
1- a lot of chatting (like 2 hours but not continuous) on whatsapp.
2- 45 mins of music and 15 mins on soundcloud.
3- 40 mins of Clash of Clans (drained my battery in a significant way)
4- Checking facebook notifications, gmail and browsing some websites on hourly timed intervals.
I managed only to get 5h screen on time and a total of 7h of battery on time. Screenshots in attachments.
More importantly, I used it from 100% till it drained to zero then I put it on charger, it automatically read 15%! (Happened to me before that it read 30% instead of zero or 1% then I drained it from 15% to zero again, put the charger and it read from zero%)
Please help me get answers for these 2 questions:
1- Do you think this battery is defective? I own this LTE tablet for only 1 month. Or do you think it only performs poor?
2- Does a game like Clash of Clans really drain it that fast? Like 1 percent charge for every minute or minute and half?
3- How long should it normally take to charge from zero up to 100%? Mine takes exactly 3 hours or 3 hours and less than 10 minutes. Is that okay? Or should it be longer?
Thank you
Can you go back this this thread and try what I said. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2809818. I dont want to copy and paste it again lol.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I can get over 4h SOT. Nice!
I have been averaging 6 hour OT. Let keep in mind I do not have any social media apps on my phone Had all google services running such as google now, and had my location on battery saving mode. I usually run map for about 15-20 minutes on average.
Really impressed.
WiFi and LTE all the time on, WhatsApp and Skype protected, web surfing and other normal uses. Better than my old Honor7.
Of course never charged.
Edit: it took me over 7 hours before I had to put it to charge.
During my first charge cycle after I started using H8, I got 4 hrs of SOT with 50 hrs of standby time. I put it to charge with 21% battery remaining so it should have given in another hour I think. I am a light user.
Will update once I have tested it through more scenarios and heavy usage.
I let PC Mark Work 2.0 run overnight with the screen at ~25% brightness in Performance Mode. It was in Airplane mode because the benchmark says notifications can interrupt it and this was the first time since getting the phone I've had enough time to run it.
I put it on the charger a few minutes before I remembered to take the screenshot. It was at 18% when I looked at it.
I can use the phone for 2 days, which is definitely amazing. With that in mind, I usually get about 5-6 hours SOT. Brightness set to 30 percent, Many apps (incl Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp) are protected. I'm a student so I turn the Internet off for about 6 hrs per day because the Internet connection in the school is just to bad.
Connected to WiFi as often as possible.
Not many games (nearly never in fact) but heavy Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat use.
it seems that the phone can average 4hrs SOT for moderate to heavy usage which is very good
During about 2 days of usage I have 4-5h SOT so I could say that combined 18-19 standby and the SOT is what I have which is really nice after my BB Z10. Mostly FB, Messenger, BBM, Chrome, Youtube and photography.
Hello, I just gotta say the battery works really good with this phone. I'm really happy I picked the honor 8

I've seen it on the Screenshots above and I see it on my Honor 8 as well.. Why is does the software need much more battery than the hardware? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Here it's 6-9 hours of screen on, average a little over 7. Maybe I keep the brightness a little low, people tend to say that it's dark but it's comfy enough for me. I mostly use WiFi and the same apps that used to drain my Galaxy S4 before it was evening. Now I can go to bed with 50% to spare.
Around 4-5 depending on how many games I play . I use it quite heavily as a phone too (I know, shock) so I'm more than content.
Standby time was close to two days
Played games etc. Took it from loading at 6.10 am ended at 22:00 with 4℅. Love the battery <3
Here the screens:
It depends on the network usage !
If you use cell data you're ready for 3-4 hours SOT
If you use Wi-Fi you can hope for around 7 hours
Yes.
