[Q] Battery life Tab S 10.5 vs 8.4 - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm considering buying either two. One of the factors I want to know the most is the battery life. So I wanna ask which version provides better battery life overall?
Thanks and regards.

Don't know, but stock rom tab s 10.5. I got about 8-9 h screen on time. Average use about 3-4 days and about 3-4 h screen on. Custom rom/kernel ironrom I got about 9-10h screen on. Average use 4-5 days and 4-5 screen on time

The 10.5" has an 7900mah battery and the 8.4" has an 4900mah battery , and the only real difference between the two power wise is the screen size, so maybe we can find out by doing the math, also the cell and wifi version will use more battery life than the wifi only version.
My maths is crap, but 7900mah divided by 266mm 10.5" screen = 29.69mah per 1 mm , and the 4900mah divided by 213mm 8.4" screen = 23mah per 1mm , so it looks like the 10.5" should have an 29% longer battery life than the 8.4" version, but this is very very rough guess, many other factors may come into the calculation.
Check the comparison in the link below, but i would take the battery life with a pinch of salt.

When I read the review on Displaymate, it said the screen of Tab S 10.5 use twice the power of Tab S 8.4 (because of bigger screen and different matrix).
Anyway, I think I will choose the 10.5. I prefer the bigger size.

It`s amazing that two different Amoled pixel arrangement technology can be so different in power consumption, as the review below says the 8.4" display is 27% more power efficient than the 10.5" display.
I worked out the 10.5% would have a 29% longer battery life due to it`s bigger battery, but the 8.4" display is 27% more efficient than the 10.5" display, I wonder if this make the battery life similar between the two sizes, will have to do a calculation.

EDIT: But be aware that the 8.4" has had quality problems reported with it`s display.

this tablet has a powerful screen.. and pressure sensore.
i am using this tablet for more than 1 year and its really awesome. when the screen is on the device uses more battery and its normal.
but when it is on sleep it can use the battery more than 2 days... 3220 mAh is very powerful battery for this tablet.
with CM 12 (Android 5) it will be best tablet i have seen and used.
I get 11hrs screen time from 100% to 1%. This includes a LOT of youtube videos however my brightness is pretty low. Standby time is good for me and nowhere near 10% a day let alone 8hrs. I reckon its about 3-5% a day for me max.

Do you use the stock firmware or a custom rom , because i am already purchased the tablet couple days ago and i am never have 11 hours screen on time yet
Till now i am get 6-7 hours screen on time in 2 days after unplugg from 100% to 15%, is that the normal ratio ?
Stand by and useage, seem pretty ill defined parameters. Especially to compare android to apple battery use. Does standby mean total on time, or total on time minus screen on, or total on time minus certain heavy use operations(which prob also includes screen on time)? Do you know purely screen on time for your ipad mini? That might be the best, first comparison to the note 10.1 ( since note does have a big screen but also big battery-8220 mah) that would be useful number wise.
Im not going to try but it would be interesting to know how long note 10.1 lasts in sleep mode only. I use mine to much to test only that. So ill see if I have any screens of my useage that I have made(prob now deleted), but I will also test to see how long I get with my average use next charge cycle (reported in screen on vs total up time).
Also if its is 10% in 8hrs (standby/sleep) thats still 80 hrs or over 3days. At the worst you say 20%,thats 40 hrs, a little less than 2 days. If those are true indicative number for the note 10.1 that represent a decent number of average users then your experience should fall somewhere in between, making it close to your experience with your ipad.

in ipad standby time means the time since you unplugged your device including running and sleeping time , usage time means the time ipad actually running = screen on time on android
i don not know if 6-7 hours of screen on time on my new note will be persistent or it will increase to 10-11 hours like the fellow up there after the rush period of usage of the the new device , anyway i will be very satisfied if it reach 9 hours :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Ok makes sense. Normally I use my note 10.1 without always fully charging and always turn it off at night. Ive tested by fully charging and leaving it on at night, so that it is in sleep/standby then. Last night I put it away with 29% battery and over 10hrs later it was on 28%. :victory: See screen shots. You can't actually read 10 hours, but if you look at total uptime and see how flat the battery curve is for half of that time you can tell I'm being very reasonably accurate. My screen use is 5hrs (screenshot) and that is what really took most of my juice. I was mostly watching 1080p youtube.
Almost the same here , hope for two or more hours after lollipop update inshaallah
Mine is the same about 1-2% if left on standby
Id suggest flashing a custom rom with a custom kernel. They figured out how to get 0.5-2% on stand by. Its alot of the bloatware that comes with the tablet and background apps which are running. Google apps also have a heavy drain on the battery during stand by. Using an app like Titanium back up to freeze or uninstall the apps will help with this problem.

Battery Drains Fast

I've got a Tab S 10.5 LTE a few weeks ago, and I've been quite happy with the screen and everything. But there's this one problem where the battery gets drained to quickly; while it charges so slowly. While web surfing, the battery percentage goes down by about 1% every 2 minutes, which gets me about 30% down in an hour. This is completely different from the iPad Mini I'm having. It's probably because of the big screen it has.
Is this normal? Is there like a ROM or kernel or anything that can fix this?
Hi.
Install a battery monitor, GSam battery monitor is the one i use and does not affect your battery, it gives me a estimate of 16hrs of use on my 10.5" per full charge.
Install the free version of watchdog and set it in the setting to monitor all processes, then you can see which apps are using your battery the most, and then you can kill or remove the ones that are causing you problems.
Make sure to disable wifi, blue-tooth, gps and app syncing and alarms are disabled, as these all use power, or keep your tablet from sleeping when you are not using them.
EDIT: Also get an app that can monitor you tablets wakelocks, which means it shows any apps that keep waking your tablet up, instead of letting it go into a low power state while you are not using it.

Not sure which model of the 10.5 you have but if it is compatible, try the SkyHigh kernel. I switched to this a while back and can tell you the battery life is simply amazing. I can go now almost a week in standby mode without needing to charge it. When I do use it I can get up to about 6-8 Hrs of actual screen time on recorded. Depends on whether I am gaming or simply browsing the web. I am also running the IronRom custom rom, which is pretty debloated and comes with it's own kernel, but SkyHigh definitely gives better battery life without tweaking. I just took stock values and it's great. Highly recommend you try it.
Forgot to mention, I am still running KitKat. SkyHigh kernel is not available for Lollipop, yet.
It took me a while to figure this out but here is what I did.
1. Disabled WiFi when the screen goes off
2. Enabled the power saving option: disable background data
3. Screen timeout to 15 seconds
4. Enabled developer options and enabled the option to kill tasks as soon as I leaves them
5. Enabled the option: no background tasks
I am now on day 2 with 68% battery remaining. Previously the battery died in a day even without the screen being turned on.
No apps, no hacks, just simple tweaks
Try the Free Version of Juice Defender for a week, a lot of people swear by it.
You can only use the default profile in the free version, if you like it, then buy the pro version.

Ok, with all that said, I've tried most of them already. I guess it can't be helped as the screen's really big. But is there anyway to speed up charging?
Using Battery Monitor Widget and Galaxy Charging Current Free, the charge is only taking up around 1400-1500mA, which is 0.5 less than that stated on the adapter (2A).
My 10.5" charges at around 1800ma with the stock charger and cable, according to my "usb charge meter" see link, but only up to 80% which is normal for li-ion battery`s and then slow charge for the renaming 20%

Edit: using the GSam app and Samsung Charging Current app, I found out that it's charging at only 1100mA!!!
My 10.5" T800 has a battery life of around 16hrs according to GSam , I uses my tablet at mostly at night, so my runtime figures are with a low brightness level.
Please post your tablet model number when you give runtime figures, add it to your signature in your xda settings.
The 10.5" has an 7900mah battery, The 8.4" has an 4900mah battery.
Also the LTE models will have lower runtime as the cell/phone transmitter uses some power.

Is it possible to disable the cellphone transmitter? I don't use the phone at all.
Just activate airplane mode from the drop-down list, I use that on my GalaxyS3 that i only use for playing music, you can still turn wifi off and on in airplane mode, at least on my S3

[Q] Dead end with Samsung can I have your feedback please

TLR Anyone willing to see if their tab pro drains battery when fully powered off. Like overnight when you're sleeping or at work. Thanks
Hi,
I got a 10.1 tabpro back at the end of Jan. I thought it would be a massive step up from my Nook HD+ (rooted) but it's not. Not only is it slower than expected the battery life is atrocious. Samsung advertises over 2500 standby hours for their 10.1 tablet, I get 200. Also I get about 6 hour video, mp4 files, not 10 and I don't like a bright screen, I know companies exaggerate but this is daft. But it's the standby that's a problem, having to charge it every few days in case I want to use it is a big step down from my Nook.
It's been into Samsung repair 4 times now and I'm currently at a dead end.
Problem
It loses 0.5% an hour on standby even with wifi, gps, updates off etc
It loses 0.5% an hour fully powered off. Fully powered down. OFF, not on standby. Just to be clear
Compare this to my nook with a smaller battery capacity which loses less than 1% a day. I've tried turning off other android devices (mobiles & tablets) and none lose battery over 12 or 24 hours when powered off.
Current situation
It's been in 4 times, it has been returned with a squeaky corner which they've failed to repair and the retail box is torn and tatty like they played football with it.
I've now been told
I have spoken to our product specialist regarding this and the decline in battery life over the 24 hour period is not considered to be unusual. In the 12 hour period where the tablet was powered on, even though the screen is off and apps closed down the tablet will still be transmitting, searching for system updates or connecting to networks or wireless. The 12% decline in battery is considered normal for this kind of activity.

This doesn't address that wifi, gps, updates etc is turned off and drain whilst it's powered off. I responded 2 weeks ago but there has been no reply.
Feedback please
1. I've been all over the internet. I've tried greenify, I've tried battery calibration, there's a ridiculous amount of bloatware that I can't delete but I've reduced apps running as much as I can. Does anyone have any other ideas?
2. What's your tablet like, does it lose battery life when powered off? I've seen people posting on here about their 8.4 inch tabpro and they've put screen shots showing better standby battery life than my 10.1 with a much better battery capacity.
I've attached some screen shots, less than 3 days and it lost 33% doing nothing on standby.
I would really appreciate if anyone could feedback on battery life when switched off, is someone able to test theirs for me?
Many thanks,
Anna
Is someone willing to see if their tab pro loses battery even when powered off?
Thanks
Uh-oh. I hope this is unusual and anomalous. I'm actively seeking a replacement for my HD+. I want to love it. I *SO* want to love it but it infuriates me that the browser crashes so often. Yours? Which ROM?
Nook is fine, It's the Samsung that's utter pants. Nook battery loses less than 1% a day on standby and screen is good. Surprisingly I thought the octo core samsung wouldn't be laggy but it is, it's not that much better than the Nook.
I have cyanogenmod 11 I think. Yes the browser crashes but that's partly because many sites are badly designed and web 2.0 is badly implemented and I use Dolphin because I like the format however it's a terrible browser for crashing. The new Guardian site I struggle with on tablets and mobiles no matter what browser for example.
Anyone willing to test their tabpro for me????
I'm actually on my 3rd day with my 8.4 it's 10:35 pm and I still have 35% left

I don't understand. 3rd day of what, off, on standby, has it been used?
Mine loses battery at 0..5% an hour on standby and fully powered off. I'm trying to establish if other tab pro's have the same level of drain on standby and powered off. Can you give me more info please? Thanks

Take the rear cover off, disconnect the battery from its connector. Bring it to a repair shop where they can do a solder work. Ask them to re solder the battery connector, this rework only takes under 5 minutes. It will fix the problem of battery quick discharge. If the problem is still the same, you only need to replace the battery, cost only around $30 for new battery.

Thanks but it was only a few months old so well within warranty.
They replaced it with an tab s 10.5 (no more tabpro's available). Tab s gives me the battery life I expect and speed. Big difference between the two is the tabpro used up a lot of battery with 'tablet idle', well over 50% whereas on the tab s it's a few %. I think the tabpro didn't quite deliver, it was discounted quickly, the software wasn't right plus squeaky case, but so far imo they seem to have got it right with the tab s. Despite the lower capacity battery and bigger screen it lasted me over 5 days and that included setting up and installing apps. The tabpro by that point would have been long dead.
I'm glad you get a new replacement but this's a common problem of Samsung tablets . Be aware of this problem is the future of battery quick discharge. Most users just simply think this is a problem of battery.

Lg g3 battery drain issue [ Tried normal methods % have screen shots ]

Guys im sorry but i have rushed a few replies to get the 10 posts but can you please not take this down i need to know if this is legit as my money back only lasts a certain amount
Ok so i bought a lg g3 from ebay, Its legit i have tested with antutu officer but it can get really hot and battery drains very quickly when watching movies and games.
My screen usage is always above 60% but i have screen on 30 seconds and 0% bright. My phone also says that i have used like 1000 mah at 50% but it should say 1500 mah.
I have a d851 and marshmallow and use my phone only with wifi no gps/nfc i also dont have background apps
My phone gets 188 mins on gfxbench

Why should it say 1500 mah? The screen is not the only thing that drains the battery, you know that, right?
Running any benchmark will cause many battery drain. Don't do that. And that app you have to see the cpu temperature, 42º is not high for CPU. For battery it is.

What help? Get a new battery or go away from Snapdragon devices. And, the screen usage is about right, because i don't know if you know, but the screen you are staring at is 1440x2560, or 2K, which is an insane resolution, and crammed in a 5.5 inch display at 538 ppi, it will consume A LOT. And the battery is just 3AH, which seemed much, but compared to the S5, with a 1080p display and a 2.6AH battery, the G3 has the worst SOT out of the 2014 flagship lineup.

The 2K screen doesn't consume that much power. There are mods which allow you to lower the resolution, but you won't see much or any increase in battery life or performance (maybe in games it's going to be most noticeable).

Sounds like a bad battery. Quite possibly a reason why the other person decided to sell it in the first place. How old is the device that you purchases?
You can get an original replacement battery online for a few dollars. Just make sure you use a reputable vendor, like LG's official website.

Its brand new thats why i'm worried and i have downloaded a few battery checking apps and they say battery health is good.
But when i add up usage it totals lower then the battery capacity, they total up to 1000mah at 50%, when it should be 1500mah
Do you have any benchmarks i can try so i can see if its working right or its just me.

Oh so it's a brand new LG? How many hours of screen usage are you getting, what usage (web browsing, checking email or playing games?) and with what period of idle time.
Don't trust the numbers in the battery stats, especially in a new ROM. They are supposed to get better over time but I've found them to be wildly inaccurate even on months old ROM. I haven't really found an application you can benchmark accurately with.
But you compare with other (real) results on the foruns and rather you get the hang of what's the normal usage you should be getting out of a good battery.
Did you make a day without running any benchmark apps? What is your SOT? Standby time? Do you have location,wifi,bluetooth,NFC,mobile data on?
All of this matters. You shouldn't start right away with "I have problems with my battery" if you are running benchmark apps. Benchmark apps drains battery!
Wait a few days without running that apps and see how it manages. Another thing. The battery stats, the mah usage, not all of the things appears in the default android battery stats. And another thing, the battery value (the percentage of the battery), it is an approximation. Sometimes it could go up without charging, it is because it detected that has a wrong value. You could try charge your phone to 100%, usage it normally until 0%, until it turns off. Then charge it again to 100% and use it normally (don't discharge to 0% to many times, it just hurts the battery).

Did you make a day without running any benchmark apps? What is your SOT? Standby time? Do you have location,wifi,bluetooth,NFC,mobile data on?
All of this matters. You shouldn't start right away with "I have problems with my battery" if you are running benchmark apps. Benchmark apps drains battery!
Wait a few days without running that apps and see how it manages. Another thing. The battery stats, the mah usage, not all of the things appears in the default android battery stats. And another thing, the battery value (the percentage of the battery), it is an approximation. Sometimes it could go up without charging, it is because it detected that has a wrong value. You could try charge your phone to 100%, usage it normally until 0%, until it turns off. Then charge it again to 100% and use it normally (don't discharge to 0% to many times, it just hurts the battery).

Streamed from the internet with at least 1h10 SOT, that is not bad. That is almost 4 hours SOT. If you have 1h12 minutes SOT, that is 4 hours. It is good.

Oh yeah, considering you even streamed the movie, it's signs of a good new and healthy battery. 3 hours of SoT with internet browsing is quite the norm, and 4 hours is on the up side.
I can barely get to 2 hours of SoT with my now aging battery.

There are a few things you can try if you are rooted to improve battery.

It's not about the software side of things, it's about that my battery is old now, and that's why happens to old batteries, the just deteriorate.
Thankfully the LG G3 has an easily replaceable battery, and I have a replacement waiting for me. Not getting a phone on which you can't remove the battery..
And never found those apps like Greenify to really work, at least in the last few years of Android. The OS seems to be doing just of a good a job and I see no improvement in battery life. Maybe they help in cases with poorly written apps that are draining your battery in the background, but I don't see why would you use such a software in the first place.

There are other things. Try to disable assertive display. You can disable logd. Turn of VoLTE. I use greenify because the aggressive doze.

Significant battery distance between 7x/6x?

I know that the battery in the 6X and 7X are the same size, but between the 7X's larger screen and its supposedly "more efficient" processor, is there a notable difference in battery life/SOT between the two?
I'm looking for a replacement for my aging LG G3, which has infamously suffered from overheating/poor SOT due to its inefficient processor and QHD screen. My priority for a new phone is solid battery life, and the 6X/7X are in my budget.
