how are yall getting 22 hours of batter life lol
i bearly get 15 on a good day!
If yall could please post the settings you are using.
much appricaited and i will hit thanks to everyone!
the biggest part of battery life is your personal usage and what type of area you live in. If your phone is constant switching between edge/3g/H, your batery will drain fast. I can get over 12 hours battery life at home but when I'm at work I can't make it an 8 hour shift without charging
shortened .... there is a lot more than set up
I get almost 2 days of battery life ( 1day 20 hours). You must be rooted. This are steps you need to take:
1) Recondition your battery, 2) Flash a good kernel (I use Faux's) 3) use a CPU manipulator app like SetCpu, System Tuner, Fauxclock, etc and set it to Conservative and default Voltage settings 4) Be smart about your usage--use wifi as much as possible, and reduce screen brightness. If you stream Netflix over 4G or play Asphalt all day then your battery life will suck.

did you underclock at all?
and what kernel are you using?
If you'll see peoples screenshots, they barely touch the phones at all...
On jugg 4.1, faux 007r2, get about 1% drain/hr when idle with 4g on.

I use his latest kernel 0.0.6u found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372690
I dont underclock. I use the default settings that come with the app. I dont have time to play with overclocking and underclocking to find the sweet spot. Default works good enough for me.

i use that rom/kernel combo and if I just use my phone as a time piece I drain about that 1-2% an hour..... under light use I drain about 8% an hour.... under heavy use I drain like 13%. That is using my definitions of light and heavy use
As stated above and additional the way you use your phone. What you have installed..what kernel you are using. Stock/hacked kernel(which helps battery life)..believe it or not you can get 16 to 18 hrs on stock kernel. I've tried it. Tip.. Uninstall / Freeze what you don't need. Decrease brightness. Clear ram/cache.. Calibrate your battery. Turn it off let it charge till 100% remove the battery from the phone wait like a minute. Put the battery back turn phone on. Plug charger wait till 100%. You should be good.
Ooh also check if its leaking or bulky which signify bad battery.

Good tip about Black wallpaper. It does help with battery. I take a closeup picture of a black object ( I use my black leather couch) and save it as a wallpaper.
Screen at lowest brightness and barely using it . I have had 38 hours of battery time but in reality if I use it so that the screen is on much then you get about 6-8 hours. Some people say yhey use heavily but they describe playing music which doesnt require the screen being on.
Also if you are in the area where it switches edge to 3g then the constant change will drain your battery. Stay in a strong 3g area no blue tooth no wifi it will bring your battery usage up. I hit 19 hours on full wifi no bluetooth and maybe 30 minutes of talking , 50 sms or so. The main issue is can you go between outlets, if you can then the phone is doing its job. I have a phone charger at work at at home and during the time its not plugged in (road trips) i can get 12+ hours and thats enough time to go between chargers.

like people has been saying, a lot of the screenshots posted don't show how long their display time on is (when you tap display in the battery usage). I think this averages around 3 1/2 to 4 hours display time on (varies on settings). 4 hours display on is extremely good.
Question: i don't know why but my battery usage graph likes to reset itself and only show my usage AFTER it drops from 100%. For example, right now under the graph it says 2hrs 50mins... but on top it says 3hrs 43mins. and yes im pretty sure i've had the phone unplugged after a full charge at 3hrs 43 mins ago... Does this happen to anyone else?

I believe the graph only gets updated whenever your battery percentage drops. In your example above, the phone had been staying at the current percentage for almost an hour, which is a good thing.
I am still experiencing high battery drain issues. I am using Badass Battery Stats, and I am seeing high battery use from App Usage (30%), with System (com.htc.launcher) taking 16%.
Is this normal, are you guys seeing similar results? What is your Launcher usage?
I am at 65% after 10 mins of screen usage and 3 hrs of standby.
For comparison, my phone lasted like 35 hrs yesterday/the day before, with ~2 hrs of screen usage.

your best bet is to use BetterBatteryStats and that will give you a more detailed explanation in what is draining your battery when screen is off. Launcher should not really eat that much battery it is normally the screen. so if i was you i would remove that app for one charge cycle and try bbs which you can get from a thread here on xda and found out from that what is eating your battery my friend

*#*#3424#*#* -> More -> Battery Test and if it's faulty ask for a return/exchange. I got around 87% +/- 1 after1 hour of the test.
I actually swapped my unit once already, the last one had drain issues as well. I wonder if it's something on my software end.
BetterBatteryStats couldn't find anything unusual on my last device, but I will try it on this guy as well.
Will try the battery test as well, thank you.
I have a ton of contacts (1k+) that got imported from my Gmail. I wonder if the device is trying to sync those, which causes some of the battery issues - since the included "Contacts" package is indicated in the screenshot I attached.
I turned off auto-sync for contacts, will see if that helps at all.

Get Slim ICS installed. I've tried almost every ROM out there for the HOX, and this is by far the best battery consumption I've ever had!
A new ROM is a solution, but was hoping I could get stock working fine first... :/
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to diagnose what could be causing that htc.com.launcher is taking so much battery? I'm up to 25% now.
Is it me or are people using Badass Battery experiencing bad results for battery?
Well let me tell you when I use it I get worse battery. It tells you what is using your battery, but when I decide to disable some of the things it picks up on. I get worse battery life. Also the app itself drains a lot of battery.
I am not an expert, but some the items disabled are integral to the system. And the system trys to enable these apps, but can't. It's like batteries playing hide and seek with the apps and running out of breath.
I got my ram usage down to 490 mb ish with all apps killed, but I had the worst battery life ever. It was draining fast even with the phone in sleep, and I had random apps I disabled starting (Flickr and PDF viewer).
My advice is trial and error. Use the task manager as apposed to these battery heavy apps, and if you find a place where you are getting awesome battery results, stop tinkering!
Edit: a bit enthusiastic in the Ram department.

There's a new battery monitor just come out for free on the play store called carat.
This app's meant to tell you which apps are using your battery and compares it to other phones.
It has to monitor your device for a week before it can give you the results but if it works properly it will be worth it.
have you found a solution? I have the same issue and don't know how to fix
I'm a new user of one x and the battery drain is appalling....i charged it full and was just playing around customizing the phone/settings and i could see it was draining one percent every one to two minutes!
I'm coming from sgs2 although it wasn't great but wasn't as bad as this!
Also, following my customisation etc i changed the sim card and all my customized settings such as wallpaper etc reset back to default!

I, for once was having the same problem..but after one week or two, the battery seems quite stable, and after I played among those beautiful ROMs, I can get the most out of my battery..thank God, I hope you will have the same experience..
Maybe if you wanna stay stock, start to analyze what 'culprit' that actually drained your battery..try using the search bar and use different search terms such as 'battery saving guide' bla bla bla..there are several thread have discussed the same issue..
I am on stock Rom and this is the first full charge after a factory reset although the phone is not brand new but a few months old...

Try disabling Location & Google Search (Settings -> Location). Noticed that Google services drained 65% of my battery, and heated up the phone. And it only happens when I turn on wifi and update the weather widget, which uses network location service. The drain won't stop until I restarted. Under the services, there's a network location service. So I tried disabling the said setting. Not sure if it will work for you, but it won't harm if you try.

Is it a acceptable number ?
is it just me or is the kitkat ROM really sucks----battery pretty well?
I also notice that the CPU usage does not drop to 20 percent idle but when I used other ROM (JB based) it becomes 5 percent.
RAM usage is good but I think it hogs the CPU. I used cpuz on measuring the cpu usage

Where can I get the JB rom for OGP?
For me, Android was best at JB and went backwards with KK.
Yes, I've noticed absolutely horrible battery life with KK. KK just feels like it is several different parts all just thrown together.
The only reason I think is that theoretically JB uses more battery is that the system uses more voltage than the kitkat. however, what's less voltage use if the CPU is always busy and wakeups are just everywhere.
Hi guys, maybe you could post in some battery stats so we could know more about whats draining your battery in particular and suggest some fixes. I've actually experienced the opposite with kitkat-battery life for me improved. There was even an instance that I got the phone to last 30 hours, with 5 hours, 48 mins. screen. On another instance I got 15 hours life and 5 hours 25 mins screen on. I just lost the screenshots as I had to reflash stock when i was doing some G3 mods., but nevertheless i could post some new ones.
I value batter life was well and i'm curious to see how yours could be improved too..

What a battery life. 15 hours screen time?
how can we accurately measure? because I only use CPU-Z and installed DS battery saver to save power. right now it only used 2% of my battery during the night. (from 1:45 - 5:50am)
I see. can you tell me what app should I use to determine CPU usage of each app/service?

No, my battery lasted 15 hours, and my screen-on time (total time i spent using the phone) was 5+ hours coz i basically used my phone then for gaming the whole day I suggest you download gsam battery monitor app (it also has a temperature_bat. Usage graph), as well as wakelock detector. Another alternative would be better battery stats. What you would need to observe would be the apps and wakelocks draining your battery both when you are using your phone, and also when its idle.
I also notice that battery capacity is 2A in which it should be 3.140A right?
this shows on kitKat but on jellybean, it's 3.140A again.
is there something wrong with the detection of battery capacity?

What happened was that in kitkat, the permisssions required to be able to access battery stat files changed. Thus, apps w/c could freely access the batter stats in JB cannot gain complete access in Kitkat. This is the case for some battery monitor apps w/c now have lesser accuracy in reporting battery. No worries though, as there are means to bypass this problem. If you have xposed you could install a module for this. Also, some apps like gsam battery monitor come with a separate root companion app. Once you install those batter stats will be accurate.
Here's a screenshot of my battery stats for today..might not be 5+ hrs of screen on as i did a lot of rebooting today (themed with g3 tweaksbox). Nevertheless, this is just to show that kitkat has the potential to provide good battery life. Also enclosed is a screenshot of one of the battery apps i use, gsam.
Hey everybody! I have some findings I absolutely must share so you can benefit as well.
I've been doing some tinkering and I've find a way to significantly increase battery life on the OGP.
First thing you'll want to do is put your phone into airplane mode.
Second, turn your screen brightness down as low as it will go. I mean, all of the way down.
Third, don't play any games on your phone.
Try those three tweaks and see what kind of battery improvement you get.

Just so you know, first my cell radio and wifi were both on the whole time. Second, i was on auto brightness the whole time. Third, i played clash of clans as you see in there.
If you have not done this already, adjust your cpu to save your battery juice. Set the cpu governor to powersaver or interactive mode if you just using the phone to send msg and make calls. I let my phone run on msm-dvcs and when I'm not plug in. Check out ROM toolbox if you're rooted. Seriously folks, instead of complaint about how much the roms suck the juice, try these different ways to see they make any difference for you.

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 ZTE Axon 7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
One of the better SOT phones I've owned since coming from smaller 4.5 inch screens. I easily get 4 hours on a long day (16 -18 hours off the charger). I watched 2.5 hour movie the other day and did some more stuff. In 8 hours, I had over 5 hours of SOT with 47% battery left.

I don't like gsam because it doesn't read the SOT from the system. It records it's own stats.
GSam battery monitor allows you to see the stock android battery stats and screen on time from there by going to the menu on the bottom right, clicking more and then Battery Use - Built In. If there is an easier way to get to stock android battery stats, I'd love to know.

What settings do you guys have setup? My battery is down to 27% after only 8.5 hours off the charger and not much video watching. How do you have your phone setup concerning gestures and everything?

Nothing special, really? It's basically stock, I just disabled some stock apps: Browser, calendar, stock email, Gmail, Hangouts, and stock messaging. Everything else is left alone....

This is the best phone I've owned in terms of battery life. With nova launcher and using nova's battery widget I can see my SOT. I average 5:30 which is alot for me. I have gotten as much as 6:40! This is all usually over 12-28 hrs. The phone is just phenomenal, just wish the camera was better.

I would believe it. I got about 5 hours in my last run. What I think ate up about 20% was listening to music through the speakers.. The phone drained faster than normal Witt the speakers on at max volume.. Which makes sense and is 5000% tolerable because how amazing they sound.
Furthermore, if I could get some stronger cell phone signal, that would help with screen on time too. I never have no signal, but I never see over two bars of signal either.
Sorry about double post.. Forgot to include second one..
Ok, I thought this was a battery beast but I think I was wrong. I don't expect any phone's battery indicator to be totally accurate but I've noticed that if I top the A7 up a little the battery doesn't drain *at all* for a long time. I've been letting it go down to 30% then topping it up to 40% where it stays without moving even while I'm streaming music and surfing for half an hour. Fishy.
I thought that as I was on about 3:30 sot at 40% I'd let it go down further to see if it would reach 5 hours. Three charging cycles in a row the phone has hit 19% and then reported that it's empty and shut down.
EU model build B03.

Yes. Dim the lights. I'm serious. This is hardware related means the display is bad for the battery.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
The display is always at 25% or so

I have my brightness set at 25% as well - do not have Auto on except when in conditions that are too bright to see the screen.
If not on MM but on LP or ? and rooted, install Greenify Beta, Amplify, Power Nap and AppOpsXposed.
Refer to [GUIDE][26-07-2016]Extreme Battery Life Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
My battery life is relatively excellent on LP with these apps installed
Hope it helps.

I keep my display down pretty low too. Still eats battery pretty fast. But my g4s batt is 18 months old now. Its actually a good thing the screen using as much as it is u want it higher.
Now you gotta figure out whats eating the rest. My screen usage is about 65% And I still get about 2.25 hours. Your SoT is a little low. average that ive noticed is about 2.5 to 3.5 hours
So what batt stats are telling you is that in 1.5 hours SoT about 45% of that is screen usage u have 55 % of other apps and hardware using power.
The g4s screen is a power hungry beast so ImO the best way to get more SoT is to shave down what else is using battery.
Do you have a bunch of bloat or updating widgets and apps going?
Some devices have a issue with i believe is called logd some sort of log services.
And others have issues with carrier iq draining battery pretty bad.
How old is your g4s battery? Maybe its time for a new beefed up one.

Live Wallpapers will ... eat up your battery if you're running one. Darker static wallpapers will help to reduce a bit.
Don't allow app led notifications except for those you regard as absolutely necessary.
