Thank you :good:

I'll bite. I must admit that I was indoors using wifi all day, so I didn't really need the brightness above ~30% or so.

Bump.
In considering the G Pro and I'd love to see more screen shots.

I have the zero lemon battery. Screen brightness was around 70%

Thanks for the screen shots. I was also hoping some members with the stock battery could post their screen on time.

Bug or not ? I got a big expected time of use

Ahh. That's with extended battery. I was going to say. For me running Clean ROM, I get ~5 hours. That's with pretty heavy usage. Location settings always on, exchange and gmail, FB, Twitter, RSS, weather widget, etc...

How do you get this much screen on time? I only get maybe 3
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium

I've been averaging about 4 1/2 hrs on screen time the past few days.
I'm so confident in the battery life I don't even have a charger at work yet.

As stated in that post of mine, I was indoors the entirety of the day. Being that I was home, I was on wifi which uses less power. In addition to that, I had the brightness turned down to around 25%-%30 since I was in a dimly lit room.
I more or less was in an optimal environment to get the most screen time possible. When I'm out and about, I average around 3.5-4.4 hours of screen time.

Battery life.

I've got to say, battery life is pretty bad with this phone. I bought it brand new yesterday so not sure if it needs to condition itself or not but I came from a LG G2 which has a 3000mah battery, which is slightly smaller than this but battery life was far better. Granted the screen was slightly smaller but still. Is there any Roms that improve battery life but still relatively stock?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium

Have you disabled all the smart scroll and air gesture stuff? Its useless and hogs battery life. Auto brightness and juicedefender and I can rock it for 2 or 3 days straight.

How long is it lasting for you?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 2

Ya, this sounds bizarre.. I've found this battery to be amazing. How long is it lasting? I've had mine for less than a week and I've used it heavily everyday. I have not even had to worry about charging during the day. 24 hours no problem.

Same here. The first week it was lasting all day but with only 3 hours of screen on time. After some tweaking, I'm currently getting still 20ish hours with 5-6 hours screen on time.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 2

I just don't get it. A lady I know has the sprint variant and I looked at her settings and she had 15 and a half hours off the charger with 5.5 hours screen on and had gps and all the air features on as she's not tech smart so her phone was like out of the box and her brightness was up. I have a custom ROM with GPS, NFC and all the air gesture **** off with the screen at like 35% brightness and I get no where near that.

Also what tweaks did you make? I should rephrase that I get good battery life with the screen off, it lasts all day but screen on time is horrible.
In this pics android os and google play services is destroying battery. The screen time was only like 1 hour and 15 minutes at that time.

I downloaded that we'll see how it works. Like I said the battery easily last 24 hours with medium to little use but it dies fast while using the screen on, I'm seeing others with everything on like GPS, NFC and al the touchwiz things with their brightness up getting far better on screen time than me with everything off and brightness dimmed

Any suggestions appreciated. Anyone try an extended battery yet ?

Stock rooted, I was getting about 24 hours per charge with about 6-8 hours of screen time.

Well if that is the case your battery life isn't terrible. 24h with 5h SOT and 24% life isn't bad at all. Its not great but it is far from terrible.

I'm just using the stock ROM, rooted with the Kingo Root app. Installed TWRP and then Faux Kernel (hltetmo-faux123-003u)
Be warned, TWRP did trip the Knox counter to 0x1. I had to install Knox Disabler so it would stop complaining.
I was getting about 24 hours per charge, until remembered about the FauxClock app and enabled the Intelliplug driver and Intellithermal manager. About this time, I also installed Advanced Task Killer after going without it for a few years.
Screen brightness is on auto, WiFi and mobile data are both on constantly. I have not had to make many calls though, so I'm not sure how this may affect battery life...
So far, I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. Right now I've been on battery for 30 hours and I have 45% left.

Because of adjustments... Custom ROM and kernel, Screen is at 35%, gps and all location services off, NFC off, all the phones extras like air gestures multi window etc are off, I use greenify to freeze apps and I have most Google syncs off and I'm only able to achieve this. I know a lady who knows nothing about phones and has everything/feature on the phone turned on with full brightness and gets 15.5 off charge with 5.5 screen on time by the time she's at 30%. I don't get it.
Edit- I should note I made this post while stock. Because I heard phenomenal things about this phones battery and was quite disappointed.

Signal strength and the binning of your CPU could be differentiating factor. Reading into other people's experience too much can lead to disappointment.

[Q] How many hours of gaming do you get?

Hello.
I'd like to know how many hours your N7 lasts while gaming, from 100% to 10% at least.

Your question is too broad, some games take more power than others.

Alright, let's say 50% brightness while playing games like Modern Combat 4, Nova 3, etc, a game that requires all the power your device can give.

I get around 4 hours of screen time with playing games for 4 hours straight only and doing nothing else. Maybe sometimes 5 hours. Why?

It would increase but I doubt by much unless you super under clock it.

Keeping a device cooler means less energy Is consumed ( heat is wasted energy). when installing glitch kernel you will be able to decide how thermal control works for your device . beside decreasing temperature produced by device will increase it's life span
At installing I use stock for everything . beside decreasing battery capacity to 93% and super cool feature

I didn't flash the kernel, as I said, ElementalX has this feature. I enabled it, I've seen a reduction on heat, not too much but it's something noticeable. Battery life though, I think I should clock the gpu at stock frequencies and underclock the cpu to at least 1.2ghz.
Normal usage with low brightness could last at least 10 hours of screen usage, it's completely ok, but when I'm playing it's like 15% lost every 30 minutes, which means it lasts 3 hours... if I let it die it might last until 3 hours and half. And I should at least get from 4 to 5 hours, right?

There's no way that I can get that amount of time.

90 minutes of gameplay.
20% lost in that period of time.
Trial Extreme 3, 30% brightness, 30% volume.
1ghz underclock.
If that's accurate, I'd be getting 7.5 hours of gameplay, which is just too much to be true.
Now, I have to test Nova 3, with the same configuration and gameplay time but with 1.5 ghz.
I have a question: If my device is 100% charged, does it discharge quickly than if it were on 50% charge? Because, the problem I was having was that, during 15% battery lost gameplay I achieved 30 minutes, so, doing the maths that would be 3 hours or a little more. So, does this actually happen? Or am I mistaken.
Thanks for answering.

Don't want to be a smart arse but it looks to me that each time you battery is going up your phone was switched off or in flight mode. Voltage on your battery is slowly recovering as the load eg. Screen, wifi, network is switched off. It make sense to me

Emmm nop. Except for, may be at 1 or 2 places, it may seem like that. However if u look at the screen shots, almost all of them have the battery life bar increasing with my phone in normal/sim working mode. Don't know whats casuing this. And bdw yesterday I reached 6h 49m SOT with 17% remaining. This means it would have easily given over 7.5 and under 8 hours SOT. Toooooo good battery life on stock kernel.
