Have you managed to get over a day of battery life?

The phone is great but the battery really bothers me.
If I use my phone a bit it doesn't get me through the day. Sometimes i get as low as 8 hours of use with tops of 20 or so hours.
How do you manage it?

I use an Apex kernel and a 2000mah extended battery

Mines been great. Yesterday I was at 17+hrs which included over 3hrs of screen time and 1 hr of voice calls. I've only had my phone for less than a week, and have twice gotten over 4hrs of onscreen time (all with stock battery).
Running AOKP Milestone2 ROM with stock kernel.

I about a day and a half nearly 2 with stock and moderate use.
Batteries pretty damn good, you must have something installed that's eating it up. There's a good battery guide somewhere on these forums, usually helps track down the cause.

I usually get about 3 hours of screen time before I need to recharge. That should be normal.

AOKP + Franco kernel + 2000 mAh

Got two days of battery life just now (1 day 20 hours, to be exact). That's with 2h18m of screen time and 4h2m of voice calls. Screen time is mostly due to text messaging, Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and Google Currents, so I guess... light to moderate usage?
WiFi is always on, Data is off, Sync is on (except for FB sync), location services off. Didn't sign out of Talk, but did sign out of Latitude.
Also, since I installed Facebook, when you run it for the first time, it downloads a lot of background data, regardless of sync settings. I let it do its thing while it's still charging, and it was all good after that.
Using AOKP b20, Franco 13.1, and stock battery.

36 hours is the most I've gotten out of the phone, but I did screenshot this not too long ago.

I never get more than a day, but i use my phone very much because studying without my gnex is boring. I have the original gsm battery.

I would say the stock battery is borderline adequate. I find that on the stock system, if I use the screen for more than 3hrs, and have all my services sync'd, bluetooth, a few calls once in a while... I would have a hard time struggling to get to the end of the day without the phone giving me a battery warning.
How I've managed it is to get the samsung 2000mah extended battery. It's not a dramatic difference, but enough to make it noticable.
As well, I've kept the screen to about 40%, used a dark wall paper, loaded franco kernal and tweaked some of the settings to be more battery efficient.
Overall, I think it's acceptable right now. At least for how I use it.
I also find that my battery drains quite a bit where I work as the cell signal is on the borderline between no signal and 1-2 bars. That's why I keep a charger at work as well as in my car to give it some extra juice.

I find the battery is actually quite good.
I upgraded from a blackberry tour, and with similar moderate use the nexus actually gets me more battery use. However both phones being idle the blackberry lasted for days.
Overall i'm never away from a power source i can charge my phone, so as long as it lasts me roughly 1 day i'm good

Stock battery
Rom: aosp self-built from aosp master branch
Kernel: at the time, franco's nightly #8 or #11, can't remember exactly
Usage: light (3h screen on)
Went almost 3 days on one charge.

If you can't get days while idle with your GN, then something is definitely wrong.

I don't have a nexus yet but would like to know if switching to 3g only improves the battery length significantly?

two days. Medium use.

I got my nexus 4 days ago.. Since then im harassing my phone.. Literally.. Im constantly installing application, customizing the homepages, making icons, widgets etc, surfing on web, exploring the market. 100% of time, Wifi or mobile data is in use (although i got unlimited data plan here (with speed of 4 mbits and 1 mbit upload), my wifi is more faster than mobile data.).
So i havent had a day with "normal" or "moderate" use on my GN.. And, battery lasts for over 24 hours.. And, autosync is always on, brightness is on 40% aprox, screen sleep 45 seconds (basicly its not sleeping cause im harassing it all the time )
Im all stock to the bone, just unlocked bootloader and rooted..
Im wondering what will happend when i start using my phone with moderate usage ..

Hmmm there are some interesting answers on this thread. The battery and the low sound have been the sole disappointments for me on the GN.
I get about 3.5 hours screen time before i have to recharge.
I guess if i turned everything off i could get better performance battery wise. But why would i spend almost $300 on a phone only to not use it? I am complete stock at the moment because i don't want to void the warranty but while i waiting for 4.0.3 i will be regularly using the hell out of my phone with a spare stock battery.

batteries have yet to perform at the level of the rest of the hardware, it's a fact. bear with it like the rest of us. of course we bought the phone to use it.
if you need battery life above all, turn off sync, it will do wonders.
personal pref: for more available resources, uninstall that widget crap, homescreens full of that i dont know whats the point of using them, even multiple homescreens, i rather have really important stuff on the launcher and just one homescren, black bg, no widgets. these are cpu and memory hogs, as well as 3rd party task killers, system monitors... keep it simple. less is more.

I assume no more than a day on my gn, but, as stupid as it sounds if you turn off the 3g and only enable 2g you improve your juice a lot. Most of the time we only need 2g.

Just how TERRIBLE is the battery life ?

I wanted to get this phone as a replacement to my Nokia N8.
Having been loyal to Nokia over the years, I'm used to absolutely excellent battery life, where I get a good 2 days of normal use, or easily get through 1 day of heavy use.
Would the Galaxy Nexus be a really bad step down ?
Can anyone suggest their average battery life when having:
25% screen brightness,
GPS/BT/NFC/etc off until needed.
Sync only for WhatsApp
Messaging 1-2 hours a day
Music 2-3 hours a day
Browsing 1 hour a day

I get 8-9 hours standard usage

If only 3G, you'll probably pull about 12 hours and a little under 3 hours screen on.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-

Mine's on WiFi all the time with all the syncs and stuff. A few calls and messages + mild browsing. Normally I get 14-16h. Maximum was 24h with the wifi turned off I guess. Not the best results, but bearable.

I get about 4 hours screen on time, and a full day no problem.
Just charge when you go to bed at night and youll be good to go

I usually get one and a half days of standby time (average 37 hours as reported by GSAM Battery Monitor). So I usually only charge every other day. However, my screen use (1-2 hours) is much less than most people on this forum. If I use my phone heavily with screen on >2 hours, then it lasts just one day.
1-2 hours screen on time.
Brightness: 11% indoors, auto outdoors
GPS/BT always on
40 mins/day streaming Pandora music over HSPA+ and BT with screen off
Wifi + Airplane mode always on at home, with Wifi High Performance Widget
VoIP (Sipdroid) connected whenever on wifi

It's comparable to the selection from any OEM, though 4G and Jelly Bean's Project Butter are the top offenders (alongside display, that's more a given, though.)

These statements are invalid, people have reported great battery life with almost every combination out there. Secondly, OP you won't last more than.. Well could be 14 hours maybe 18, 14 especially assuming you use data to web browse. but it really depends on screen on time and, how spread out your usage is.

It will be a step down.
You will never get 2 days of battery life under any useful circumstances.
Unless you neuter your phone, as I've mentioned in another thread.

In all honesty, the gsm/cdma versions need to be compared totally different. I've had both and can say the gsm version can easily get 3 hrs of screen on time without even trying and the cdma version (toro) struggles to get 2hrs. So, when somebody replies about battery life, they really need to specify which version of the gnex they have or you could specifically ask for maguro/toro/toroplus users.
BTW, the screen on times I'm specifying are not on wifi and are using HSPA+ for the Maguro and LTE for the Toro.
On Maguro (GSM Version), I routinely get 2 days out of my gnex with light/normal use.

I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus and I keep my phone on Airplane Mode at home, work, & school (since all my calls & texts are made through google voice anyways) & data while I'm on the go. I mainly use Facebook, Google Voice, Groove IP, Instagram, Light Flow, Google Search (4.1), Google Maps, & music. Occasionally I game, watch movies, etc. Here's a typical day of use, 5 hours of screen time:

We don't have 3G where I live - but I have to charge my phone every night.
My usage is something like this: random surfing at work (read news and all), send quite a few texts (or Whatsapp messages), play music for almost 50 minutes straight... when I'm home, I'm left with 60 or 50%.
I do have a charger at the office though - but I don't always use it.
It depends on how strong your cell signal is; if you're in a spotty area, the battery drain will be higher. It also depends on the kernel you use (right now, I'm trying to find a decent kernel - not the stock one since I get random reboots on the stock kernel... my phone didn't have this problem before, oddly - even with Jelly bean on it... yeah, confusing... but I digress).
Anyway - it will last you a day easily. 3G? I think it'll last you a day there as well. It depends HOW you use your phone.

Thanks for all the replies. As a reply to one poster, yes I am getting the GSM version as there is no LTE really in the UK. But it seems my battery concerns are true looking at most of your answers. I'll have to be really really careful in order to get two days use out of it. Probably best to spend a bit more on another phone. Perhaps the GS2, but that doesn't seem to be much better..

If the battery lasts you one day, you shouldn't be so concerned about it. Not like you can't charge it during night... Also with a little optimization, it can easily last you a day. If you are still concerned about your battery, get an extra battery or an extended battery. Also I had SG2 before and the battery is better than Gnex, but not enough to get it over Gnex.

How I've had really great battery life and decent performance on the One m9

So I think I've found the best way to manage the heating/battery issues of the Snapdragon 810. I'm not sure if its my entire setup that's correcting all my issues or if its just the primary app.
My setup is Leedroid ROM with power saver on but only for display dimming and CPU managing. The important stuff: I am running the CPU Tuner app with a custom made profile running the On
demand governor at a 50/50 powersave bias (slider in app), and running only 4 cores out of 8. I believe this completely removes the high-power/performance cores from running. However, I do barely any gaming and performance for all other apps is very snappy and more than acceptable.
Just figured I'd share my thoughts and setup. My hands have yet to get uncomfortably warm like they usually do when doing multiple things in apps. Battery life is also MUCH better. If anything, you may use this setup temporarily until we get more kernels and developers working on fixing the issues with the snapdragon 810.

I don't have any issues with the snapdragon 810. I am still all stock unrooted and average just over 5 hours SOT. I don't use powersaver at all, not even when the battery falls below 15%. If battery life is that bad for you that you have to go to those extremes, then you probably have issues beyond the CPU.

I don't know how that's possible running stock, unless I have a bad unit or something. Then again I've tested some coworkers M9s, and theirs have issues the same as mine even though they're stock. I don't even have many apps installed, but my battery plummets just browsing the web or reddit, until I cripple the 810. Do you have any apps at all that help to preserve battery life? Or run exceptionally low screen brightness?

No, I do not use any apps to improve battery. I am on AT&T and at home I use a microcell and WiFi, so I do not get much battery drain from lack of having a good signal. I do not use exceptionally low screen brightness, but since high brightness does hurt my eyes, I do keep it around 33% and only raise it higher as needed. Overall, in comparison to other devices I have used and have or have had in the household, while not the best, I do find the M9 to have good battery life. And another good thing is, there is this update coming that improves battery life. Here is a current screenshot. Not half way through the battery and I already have 9 1/2 hours of life and just over 2 1/2 hours of SOT.

There's nothing wrong with your phone, the M9 hasn't got great battery life period, you can squeeze a lot out of it if you go to extreme lengths or if you don't hardly use your device, for example my last two phones which i just got rid of (Note 4 and an iPhone 6)
The Note 4 would last over 1 day comfortably as it was my main phone, the iPhone 6 however was simply a work phone, this bad boy lasted 4 days and 22 hours on a single charge, running IOS 8.1.3. I have a screen shot of it at home on my PC i'll upload later, the point i'm trying to make is, this is completely down to your Apps, your habits, your set up, rom you're using, mods installed etc.
All these combined make up the footprint of how long your battery lasts, no two people are the same, just as no two CPU's are the same, or for that matter the battery in your device, some may have a really good one, some might not, even your signal can have an adverse effect on the battery, especially if it's low and trying to get the signal out.
My advice for better battery life is to set up your phone the way you want it, start by cutting out the dead weight, remove and apps that start up at silly times (use autostarts for this) , check for wakelocks, reduce wireless activity, modify the CPU settings (like you have already) and then just use it as you would, anything else you can cut out,any other accounts that you really don't need, lose them, avoid task managers like the plague and remove apps like better battery stats once you've used them, use manual brightness, turn off ambient display, turn off hand gestures like double tap to wake
Beyond this there isn't much more you can do.

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

22h straight? How is this even possible? was the phone plugged in?

This phone idle drains almost as much battery when in use, if you are a heavy use, this is not a bad phone for you.

Coming from the Droid maxx I find the battery to be underwhelming. The only saving grace is the quick charge. Love the device hardware but battery sucks.

mine starts to heat in less than 5 min as soon as i activate the wifi

It gets hotter than Galaxy S5. Gets very hot when doing continous web browsing. Gets overheat warning when playing VR for 30 mins.
The game's name is Lands End

Mine doesn't get hot at all but I am not gaming. About the hottest it gets when updating Android. And I live in a very hot and humid climate so I am very satisfied.

Can you download CPU-Z and tell us the battery temperature when you are on Chrome for more than 10 minutes and when you are charging the phone ? Mine gets warm after using it a bit and hot when charging.

I don't browse much on the phone. It's just annoying. Also, I have been using USB charging from a desktop which is horribly slow but also doesn't heat up the battery which is good. Like I said the only time I notice it getting hot is on a long Android update. When I update all apps and have like 20 or 30 apps to be updated it gets warm but not hot. And the ambient temp here is around 90-95F right now in my living room. Right now on phone info it shows 33C CPU and 33.3C battery. I don't use cpuz because of the ads. I thought cpux had temps but i can't find them now.

Oh it does get hot with the wall charger! I have been using usb charging and it takes over three hours to go from 40% or so to full but the phone stays cool. The wall charger is much faster but it really heats up the phone. I guess what you are seeing is normal. Try usb charging if you don't need to get the battery full in a hurry.

Using this phone while playing Pokemon Go gets me about 4-1/2 hours until i need to recharge. I usually use my Samsung Charging pad to recharge my phone. just sit it down and leave it.

low endurance, i using phone every day, instagram facebook and other soc. media and i have to charge phone twice a day :/

i heavily modified my s7 software (Google Play Services replaced with microG, Xposed installed, Magisk installed, Amplify, Greenify, Better Battery Saver, Disable-Service, PowerNap, AFWall+, AdAway, AppOps, etc), and i get very very good battery, 6 hours SOT minimum with heavy LTE usage on whatsapp, facebook, instagram, etc. But yeah, in stock bloated rom, battery sucks.

Does your s7 have the exynos processor or snapdragon? if it's snapdragon, can you tell me what other apps you used to get such awesome battery life, or what guides you used that led you to the use of such apps? I can barely crack 4 hours SOT with mainly Firefox, Youtube use, and some facebook/whatsapp. On top of that, when I rooted my s7 and tried using greenify+amplify+forcedoze my battery life was VERY BAD compared to stock and full bloat.

I purchased this phone on 12/21 from Best Buy. I am coming from an unlocked Moto Z Play with which I was averaging 10 hours of screen time. Greatness and benchmark every OEM should consider. The apps on the S7 are the same as I had on the Moto. Today is my first day of a full charge and I have actually used it less than I typically would the Moto Z Play. I would try to kill the battery on the Moto purposely. That thing just kept going. Underwhelming battery life is about right for the S7 but I knew coming in that there would be absolutely no comparison.
Why did I switch? This phone game is one of give and take. I would take the Moto Z Play with that Snapdragon 625, insane battery life, 10x better finger scanner and the software experience over the S7 any day. There was one thing that I could not deal with on the Moto and this is where the S7 shines. The camera on the Moto is horrendous.
I have a nice shooter but I don't lug it everywhere I go. More times than not I want to take a picture with my phone where you just wouldn't carry a camera.
So, as of this post I am on target for about 4 hours of SOT on the S7 which falls short of what I am used to (Moto Z Play, 10 hours and about 8 on the iPhone 6 Plus that I just sold).
Give and take. Return this S7 and go back to the Moto Z Play but deal with a camera that sucks but IMHO excels over the S7 in every other aspect?

It would be useful to state whether you own the Exynos or the Snapdragon* version I have the Exynos, it doesn't get hot, not even when charging. 6 hours game time.

It's Exynos! i think 4hs SOT with Qualcomm it's ok since it is less efficient (At least on our phone). I can't tell about battery drain on root because the root method of your version is different, so maybe it's a kernel issue (no deep sleeping or something like that or a bad CPU governor keeping the cores at high frecuency).

Just installed BTU firmware on my 930FD. Doing reasonably well. Display resolution set to 1080p, getting about 30m more SOT than MM.

Screen on time

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 LG G5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I have the H860N (dual sim) on build v10c. Take note I am only using SIM1 as the second slot is used by my 64GB microSD (it's a hybrid slot).

There is LG's official bootloader unlock program for the unbranded EU H850.once u do that(only for h850) there is TWRP built for it too

This was originally posted by me in the battery life thread:
Bit over a week with the phone.

Used greenify and amplify;disabled and removed some stock apps, AOD and daydream off.
Let phone top up for 1hr after reaching 100%full charge
Best battery life I've had on a phone with no kernel manipulation yet...
I reached 7hrs SOT with like 5hrs YouTube and 20hrs on battery...but this was the 2nd day and I thought it was a fluke.this last cycle was post worthy these pictures were taken evening of 5/4 after almost 36hrs on battery. I've gamed,browsed,used camera,streamed HD video and been on mobile data for most of it...that's balanced but heavy use.
My only gripe is that Wi-Fi does seem to drain me more than mobile data(no tests yet to back that up) still coming from g3 this is incredible!
Who cares if the s7 gets better battery life this has a smaller battery that does better than other's in the g-series, and it's replaceable(unlike comparable devices) giving the device more longevity.
This battery life reminds me of my g2.

what apps did you disable/remove i struggle to get 3 hours screen on time and this phone is starting to really annoy me thanks in advance

Well, compared to the Galaxy S7 i own, the SOT honestly sucks. I barely get more then 3,5 hours with Medium usage. Removed most of the bloadware, disabled background data usage on most Apps and still i can't see alot improvement.

The most I ever got was 6 hours and 30 mins with 19 percent left. No Wi-Fi with LTE on, Bluetooth off and the screen no more than 35%brightness . I used to have the note 4 att version and only got 4.5 with every single bloat app disable. I have cm brower ,cm launcher no facebook just messanger and Google app running. I'm sure you guys won't believe it but I really get amazing battery life with this phone. I'm at 41 % with 3 hours and 30 mins and 11 hours 20 mins since I lasted plug it. I have the t mobile version and here are the apps I have disable.

Here are some screenshots

I really can't complaint with a mix of Wifi and LTE. It's not as insane as my S7 exynos but it last me through the day and I have the spare battery. I have not charged my phone in a couple of days now. Also standby time is the best I have ever seen on a smartphone.

WTH, the max SOT i manage to get is like 2hrs!
Currently battery at 32% after taking off charge 11 hrs ago.. SOT is 1hr 11m
Android OS is showing as using 19% battery.
I think it's time for a factory reset...

I think that will be my next purchase

3 hrs.

I get barely 3hrs of sot too with always on display.

Sorry wrong thread, post removed.

Some say that its 6 hours, some say its 3. Thats a huge gap and i dont know who to believe, but 3 hours seems more legit considering that battery size.

Yeah i don't know how they're getting 5-6HRs SOT that's just crazy! Considering the Battery Capacity only 2800mah
