RE: Idle Battery life - Solutions?
Hello,
I've been using my Nexus 7 very little this week. But since I stopped charging my current battery stats read:
1 day 11 hours and 57 minutes on battery.
Tablet Idle (39%) for 1 day 11 hours and 26 minutes.
Aside from that I've had 25 minutes screen time and 20 mins Wi-Fi use.
I'm currently on 71% Battery. Does this seem like normal battery usage? I would have thought the idle tablet could keep it's battery better than this.
Any tips/thoughts on if this is normal?
Thanks

Make sure Wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth are off. They drain the battery quite nicely. Another tip is turning off auto-syncing for Gmail, etc if you plan to keep the tablet in sleep. Other than that, the usage seems within normal range, maybe a bit over.
Then again, why not just turn it off? It takes about 10 seconds to power up...

My phone has been unplugged for 8h 30mins. The battery has been used for: 40mins of phone calls, 25mins of that with bluetooth, about 25 texts, the screen has been on for 1h 45mins, it has been running for 2h 6mins, the internet has been used for probably 3/4 of the screen on time, and I have been using wifi for probably half of the time that it has been unplugged. I am using the stock battery and right now my battery is at 37%. Would you consider this good battery life? Thanks

Yesterday I had wiped my battery stats after I bump charged my phone to full because I just switched to New Guy rom. My up time made it to 27 hours with awake time at 4 hours and 10 minutes. The first two and a half hours was mostly texting, a few short phone calls and some light gaming and browsing around the phone to get everything set up the way I like. The last two hours consisted of over an hour on the internet, updating 25 apps, lots of texting with 2 short phone calls, 40 minutes of listening to music and about 15 minutes of gaming. I still had 12% battery left after all of that. I was very surprised. so what you have listed sounds like your battery life is fine.
hello !
i was just wondering if you're experiencing the same battery drain I do.. I am on battery since 7 o clock when i went to school and I am left with 14% of battery now after 14 hours.. facebook updating every 4 hours, push notifications enabled, 3G on, 40 minutes active on facebook, 10 minutes of browsing and a bit of gaming ~ 2h7 of screen on time and 30 mins of phonecalls..
is that normal?! post your results or stats please !
That sounds about right. I usually have to charge at the end of the day around 6pm.
whats your usage?
and hows it about the screen brightness? mine is approx. ~30% so autobrightness if i get into light..
On a normal day for me... I'm txt constantly and browsing and or doing something on it.
My phone is off the charger 6am onward. By the time I get to 4pm... it's very well at about 10% left.
Screen brightness is usually at 25%. I've also recently removed most of the bloatware off the phone which doesn't run.
My autoupdate is mostly turnoff off on all my apps except for fb every 4hours, twitter every 4hrs and my email is on all the time.
Avast is always running and I toggle between data and wifi constantly.
I'm happy if I get a good 12 to 14hours worth of usage before a charge. Mind you I'm only running on a 1350mah battery. I was thinking of looking for a 1800mah. Could give me a few more hours.
Cheers.
why 1350 mah? normally the arc comes with 1500? okay.. that sounds fine.. screen on time bout 2 hours right?
So every night before sleeping I turn Data/ Wifi off, Past few nights ive noticed there has been a 12-15% drain in 8-9 hours.
Battery before sleeping 30%(data/wifi off)
Battery 9 hours later 15%
Stock 4.2.2
No Intense Background apps.
Is this normal ?? I don't think 4.1.1 had such battery drain with screen off and no data/wifi.
Thanks,
so u basically(roughly ) have 1% drop an hour? thats pretty damn good if you ask me
mine is usually 10 hours with intense use and 30 hours with minimal use eg: at work

That's normal at around 30% battery left. Once it reaches 30 and below it really would drain that much even without doing anything. But if you start with 95% percent and overnight drain of 15% with all off, then there is a problem somewhere. I usually have overnight drain of 3% for 8 hours.

Thanks for the reply buddy, 1.5% an hour seems higher, but as mrm43 said i think its the cause.

Thanks for your reply, I had a feeling about what you just said. But I don't recall this happening before, I could be wrong. Will charge up and test tonight and post results.
Also, I'm noticing my phone getting warm past 1 week while normal usage( Web surfin+music) area behind the camera.
So just to post back, I charged the phone upto 85% and turned off Data and Wifi, Woke up 8 and half hours later and the battery was 79%. Which is ok I guess, assuming only cell radio was on.
Hi,
I have had this tablet (N5100) for a couple of weeks now and am wondering what the average battery drain for others/you is like?
Mine is draining around 1%/H when idle / sleep (screen off, wifi-on scheduled with juice defender, Mobile Data off, Cell Radio on) with little to no activity.
so after my 4-5 hour sleep it's down by 5-6 %. is it normal, too high/ too low?
my other device samsung galaxy player YP-G70 has much better results, but then that is a totally different hardware altogether!.
Thanks.
1%/h would translate into avg current of 46mA, which is not bad, any higher value would be a reason to investigate. On my device, after some tweaking the standby current as estimated by the Battery Monitor Widget is between 10-40 mA.
Anyway, if you want to find the apps eating your battery during standby, check the better battery stats thread.

Hi,
I have done a few tests of my own.
Overnight my battery drain is 1%(about 9/11 hrs )
I further ran a test in standby for over 24 hrs and
battery drain was only 6%.(from 100% down to 94% )
Good luck
Just want to add ,i get like 2mA in standby,
Also the 6 % drain (in 25 hrs plus some min.)
Include my twitter updates ,weather,market apps update, etc once or so .data off there after.

wow, that's a little depressing! haha
I guess i'll have to go on some app shooting spree and see what i end up with.
As of now i have put google currents to sync only while charging and disabled google now and some location stuff in google maps and that seems to have improved things some bit already.
bad or good battery
I play samsung note 8 without screen off , and screen on just 4 hour
i think note 8 only survive 1%/5 minute
If play 1% just only 2 minute
hello people! I write here to learn about the time of the battery life and the charging time.
Mi HOX charge in 4 hours and the battery drain in 6 or 7 horus of normal use(whatsapp, facebook and mail app).
Salute.

Why does it actually take so long to charge? Mine also takes like 3-4 hours from 0% to 100%.
I don't charge mine to 100% or let it go under 20% but it still takes hours to charge. It usually holds
1½ hours screen on time.
Last 2 Days.

If i install Android Revolution HD 33.1 and Alex 2.6 pa3 would i get much better battery life then viper 4.1.1 with Alex 2.6 pa3?
I see in gsam battery monitor that app usage is often at 80-90% and screen and phone radio the rest.
