I am just wondering if it was because when I purchased it I charged it from it being completely dead to full.
Then using it for a few hours. recharged it from 59 percent back again to full and left it to charge even though it said it was full.
Btw I havent rooted just the stock rom. And I can get through two days with moderate use and still have 10 percent. I have no issue with build or software.
I am pondering whether to upgrade to 1.29 when it is released for my network because I have no issues at all.
I had a small glitch when my phone woke up multiple times from scratch but it was software that caused it since uninstalling it. it hasnt occured since
base band 1.1204.103.14
build number 1.28.161.9 cl5622 release keys
browserkit webkit/534.30

What screen time? I can get 2-7 days if I only makes calls on 2g for example.
Thats impressive is yours rooted?
I get over 5 hours screen time easily
That is a dream for me at the moment, I can barely scrape 3.5 hours if I want it to last 10-12 hours throughout the day!!!!

What is your brightness setting? Also do you play any games?
To get 5hrs is extremely impressive. I once did a test by have the phone sitting idle in airplane mode with brightness set to 50%, and the phone lasted 7 hrs 45 mins before the battery died. So only 1/3 drop in screen on-time with Tegra and data usage included is great result.

Based on your screenshot, it looks like you have data and wifi turned off. Is this the case? Because most people have 3G/wifi on the whole time when they are discussing battery life.

There is like 1000 different things that affect batt life.
The two biggest battery drainers are the screen and the mobile data.
Especially if u are in a location with low signal (either it is 3g or 2g).
I have my mobile data / wifi ON at all times and I average about 20 hours with about 2 hours screen on and TONS of accounts syncing (friendcaster push, twitter every 2 hours, gmail push, google contacts, calendar push, facebook calendar, whatsapp, viber, weather, ebuddy u name it ) so I guess it is alright.
Now with mobile data off I believe I could easily get the battery life the OP has reported but that's not really the point is it?
Wow you guys have amazing battery life. Makes me think my phones faulty haha

I haven't seen a battery life thread for the AT&T S3, so I'll start one.
Mine is around 13 hours with moderate use. I listen to podcasts for an hour in the morning (commute to work), read Pulse News and Facebook for about an hour at lunch, and listen to another hour of podcasts for the commute back home. By the time I get home, I'm around 13% life. I usually get the battery warning while listening to my podcast. In comparison, my GNex GSM gets 17 hours with the same use pattern. When I get home, I'm usually around 37%. Besides Samsung's and AT&T's bloatware, same apps, no widgets.
All told, I am very disappointed with battery life. I don't believe in underclocking my CPU in or disabling haptic feedback. I use the "Power Saver" mode, but only use the reduced screen power consumption feature (reduces framerates and brightness). WFI is always off (I don't have WIFI at work). I also disabled all of the Motion features. I disabled S-Voice (it monitors for the Hi Galaxy, and disabling also allows for a very responsive Home button).
I calculated my idle battery drain (unplugged when fully charged and not touch it) at around 4.4% per hour. That only gives 22.7 hours of standby! My Galaxy Nexus GSM can go at least 2 days (sometimes I forget to charge it at night on the weekends - also not used the phone).
Is it AT&T's LTE? Is it the Gsiff_daemon process? Is it TouchWiz? Or is it just my phone?
What's your battery life like?
You pretty much hit it right on the head. I had the extended battery from Samsung on my Gnex and could easily get 20 hours with moderate usage.
This phone despite using CM10 or AOKP with the JB kernel I never see battery life that good. I'm in the 14-15 hour range with about 3 hours of screen on time. That's with wifi off, and we don't have LTE yet. All in all, it isn't very good.

Stock? What features do you have turned off? Do you use WIFI exclusively? Do you turn off your data network (LTE/HSPA)? Did you turn off Sync?
I don't use WIFI, and I leave my data on (as it should be - just like I had it on my GNex). I also leave sync on. I understand that using these decrease battery life, but come on... not like this. The GNex faired very well, and it had a smaller battery. Besides LTE and an S4 (and the S4 should be more power efficient), there isn't much different between the GNex and the S3.
If I turn on the screen for 8 hours, there won't be enough for sleep time! It'll just die... if it even makes it to 8 hours...
20+ hrs with multiple accounts syncing at 1 to 2hr intervals, screen on time of average 4hrs. Heavy use. Wifi on all the time.
stock, rooted, debloated, super-aggressive power management I was getting maybe 12 hours with 2 hours screen time.
I saw you didn't believe in underclocking, but I started using Cpu Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798765 and am loving it, can do 16 hours and 4 hours of screen time with no problems, will do the trick for me.

My battery life with stock battery sucked too. Att signal sucks where I leave and waste 30% battery in that alone everyday. I got the Hyperion extended battery and loving it. Currently at 70% when usually I would be at 45-50%.

I hate to be "that guy" but I have a hard time believing anything close to this is even possible. Can you show us a pic of your battery stats?
Just use cpu tuner, It has profiles for each level of battery life so it gradually slows down your cpu's. You can get performance and bat' life.
Check it out
my battery drains a lot when i'm on wifi even when my screen isn't on. I get on average 14 hours running 1.4 GHz
You have a faulty radio.
I consistently get 40+ hours off charger with 4-5 hours screen on time with a couple hours of browsing, 3-4 hours of music, texts, an hour of calls or so, playing casual games for another hour.
Stock. No hacks. No root. Disabled all unnecessary carrier and samsung apps and disabled GPS unless i need it. Auto brightness, 2 hours sync for weathereye, flipboard and gmail syncing all the time. I do mostly use Wifi at home because my signal at home is bad and that quickly drains my battery. At work my phone idles for eight hours at a 2-3 % loss with 3G on (i use my old SIM, i do not have an LTE plan, I am on Rogers Wireless).

You consistently (or have ever got) get 40+ hours off charger with 4 to 5 hours of screen time? Do you have your phone hooked up to a car battery?
I just factory reset (wiped data and cache) the phone and installed the apps I need (maybe something was badly configured or something) - did that yesterday night. Charged it up for this morning, and now I got 18 hours and still have 17% left. Screen on time says 1:38 hours.
This is on the same stock rooted and deodexed ROM. No hotboots either, so gsiff_daemon didn't rear it's ugly head.
Also no CPU Sleeper or any of these underclocking apps. I'm happy now, but wondering wtf was causing the problem... and will it happen again (after all, this is only day one).
I'm getting about 13 hours with 5 and a half hours of screen time. Underclocked to 1.2ghz and I have my own screen off profile. Great battery in my opinion

Phone finally died. Just over 19 hours. Heavy use towards the end because I was downloading and installing the rest of my apps from Google Play & Amazon App Store. Was also setting the apps up ( accounts, settings, and notifications...). Final screen on time was about 2 hours.
It's only been two days since I've had the phone, I've gotten about 14 hrs with roughly 3.5 hrs screen on time. I hate when I see people with 2 days off the charger and ridiculous screen on time. If you put the phone in airplane mode and ran just the screen you probably wouldn't last 10 hrs unless it was on low brightness. I had the Razor Maxx and I could get around 30 hrs usage with 4-5 hrs talk and 6 hrs screen on and that's the best battery life I've ever gotten on any phone with real usage.
I would like to get better stand by and more screen time out of this phone without getting an extended battery.

Nope. Stock battery. May be some of you have faulty batteries/radios/firmwares or run too much stuff at the same time.

No airplane mode. Cellular connection is always on even during the night. Only difference is at home i have wifi on instead of data.
Flipboard, weathereye and an appsales app syncing every 4 hours. Auto sync for google account and facebook. Automatic brightness. Almost all samsung and Rogers apps disabled (except for myaccount and a couple samsung apps) and motion disabled since i have no use for the gestures apart from being a novelty the first week.
No root. No hacks. I am actually amazed. This is the first android phone that has battery life on par with my iPhone 4 and the unparalleled smoothness. My HTC One X lagged, this never does even with a few apps installed now including games. I look at my iPhone and think "why do i still keep it? It is no longer relevant".
Ive got my UV tweaked just right on my ktoonez kernel and keeping my screen level as low as can be and I'm now practically making it to TWO days battery life! Plug in every second afternoon or evening after moderate use. Occasionally it doesn't last as long. Quite happy now. Oh and that's with this baby cranked to 1.809Ghz! But obviously tweaked to use that under strain otherwise using lower clocks and deep sleeping with 384mhz.
Got a 4200mah extended battery on way and can't wait to see how much I can squeeze out of it too.

My GS3 i747m lasts around 50-55 hours per charge cycle..
It is running stock Rogers GS3 ICS, not rooted, all stock. Battery is stock as well.
Not using LTE, using HSPA+ ("4G") with data turned ON with Sync turned OFF
(**NOTE: sometimes, the battery is drained due to poor reception, and the phone will use more power for the cellular signal.. In my case, my 3G connection in my area seems alright for the most part, about 1 bar less from full)
Power saving is turned ON. WiFi powersave is turned ON.
Moderated WiFi usage in 2.4ghz 802.11g-mode only.
Every night when I go to sleep, my flight mode is turned ON. (I sleep around 9-10 hours everyday, so the phone stays on flight mode for 9-10 hours a day)
In the morning, I turn the flight mode OFF.
Bluetooth, GPS both are turned OFF
Screen brightness turned 1/4 brightness
LED notification turned OFF
Also, I have a task killer killing ALL BACKGROUND SERVICES every half hour.
Without killing all the background apps, my RAM usage is around 600-700 MB out of 1.6 GB of RAM
Killing all the background apps brings the RAM usage to around 360 MB of 1.6 GB
Without killing background apps, my battery life is shortened even when the phone is on standby.
Do this, and your battery life is pretty good..
Hi all. I bought an Xperia S and I'm very satisfied But I have a big problem : battery drain! I disabled autosync, bravia engine, underclocked cpu to 1188 mhz, set the screen brightness to around 25 %. I use an app which is similar to Juice defender, and it sync my push notification every 15 minutes for 2 minutes. I flashed [email protected] Rom, but the battery drains too fast.. even if I set the phone to drain not too fast. What can I do ? Are there mods or some scripts which can help my battery to last longer? I don't want to unlock the bootloader because of the warranty. What can I do more than what I did ?
Follow these steps:
1. Use your battery to 0%
2. Charge it to 100%
3. Go to CWM > Advance
4. Wipe Battery Stats.
5. Fix Permissions (This may take sometimes).
6. Again use your battery to 0%
7. Again charge it to 100%

I Don t think my phone need a calibration, but I will try
thanks for the tip, my battery seems to drain faster after installing a custom rom, seems that it needs a recalibration again
Google devs said that battery recalibration does absolutely nothing to increase battery life. XDA has some write up about it on a topic about placebo rituals.
What I noticed in the beginning, the battery drains faster, but as you drain all the way and recharge it lasts longer with more use.

I hope.. because if I use it for 15 minutes in wi fi, with brightness at 20 %, i lose 5 % of battery..
I noticed also that if I leave my phone in flight mode, cpu spy reveal 97 % of deep sleep, and that's good, but my phone in 7 hours ( during night ) lost a 5 % of battery

I'm in my first week of owning the device and it's gotten a lot better. First two days it was like that. If it doesn't get better try contacting Sony and maybe getting it exchanged.

WT* in 2 hours, 10 of wi fi browsing, 15 of maps navigator, a call of 5 minutes, an sms, a chat of 2 minutes on facebook, and it drained 25 %! I want to throw my xperia s away! I'm very disappointed! Sony lost a fun.. I will return to a samsung phone as soon as possible.. My galaxy wonder last 18 hours with CM10, using it the same as xperia s ! F*ck!
You know Xperia S is dual core and has a 720p screen, right?
Second, there must be an background app killing your battery. Check all of them.
Also, Bravia Engine doesn't kill battery, unless you stay on Album app the whole time.

The time you spent on gallery viewing some photos isn't enough.
Besides, then your phone must have some problem. Of course it will drain, but it can be really good.
Are you sure there isn't any app draining battery?

Yes.. I'm sure.. I list all of user apps : 100 Doors, Androidiani app, antutu benchmark, asphalt 7, astro file manager, chrome, cpu spy, dead trigger, doodle jump, where's my perry, facebook, fruit ninja, 3g manager (like juice defender), impossible game, jetpack joyride, link2sd, live score addicts, no frills cpu control, quadrant, temple run, whatsapp.. That's it..
Don't know why it drains like that.. I don't want a galaxy W battery life, because they are 2 differents phone, but at least 13-14 hours with a moderate usage.. I can't ever rechearge it after school and during the night..
Timescape is still there? Or sync is on all the time (orv you mentioned a timed sync, didnt you? If yes, how much time to time?)
It's really strange. There are days it lasts the whole day for me.
I usually (not now I'm in vacations, but in normal school days) can use it for the whole day.
Take from the charger at 6:30, WiFi on for 10 minutes to check a few quick things (it auto turns on before, but it is generally on charger still). Then, 15 to 20 minutes of Music on headphones, volume at 6 or so). Some seconds on maybe to change songs.
Then a total of around 20 minutes with the screen on, be it just moving home screens while not having nothing to do, or taking notes, calendar, etc. Maybe 5 minutes of camera. The rest, the phone rests on the table ( I think the cold air conditioned keeps the processor and battery at lower temperatures, so better for speed and draining).
More 15 minutes of songs, same behave as before.
At lunch, I might use it for 2 quick calls (2 min each). More around 20 or 30 min of music, and 15 min of gaming (3D or 2D). Maybe more 5 min of camera. Some days, 15 min of WiFi.
Class again, same behave after leaving home. Notes, camera, calendar, useless scrolling.
I would leave school (5:30 PM) with around 35~40% of battery, enough for more 45 min of WiFi before the battery got to a critical level (5~10%).

Hey guys.
2 weeks with the Note 10+, 256GB/12GB - Exynos. I keep seeing those wonderful SOT reports. 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours! I'm not even talking about those posting screenshots of 12-14 hours...
They all use WQHD. They all use Facebook. They even use youtube and netflix, on wi-fi and on mobile with more than 50% brightness, and they all get at worst 8 hours of Screen on time.
Little me, on the other hand, uses mostly whatsapp and text, reduce his brightness when possible, check for hungry apps all the time, yet even on Airplane mode, I barely get get to 0% with 5 hours of SOT.
What am I missing? What is the magic trick? Is it possible that I'm having some sort of a hardware failure? Bad luck?
Don't get me wrong, 5 hours of sot, compared to my dying and evil LG G4 is still amazing, but I just can't wrap my head around this difference between exactly the same devices, this huge difference.
Let there be light
and sot.
in the same boat as you are my friend.. note 10 + exynos is a ****ter..
missing my old p30 pro
Don't worry mate, those 8,9,10 hours of SOT are for people who watch lots of Videos like YouTube etc on their device and seldom use camera or do gaming on their Phone. SOT is very subjective and differs from person to person. I get 5 to 6 hours of SOT myself and is pretty happy with it
As others said it's hard to compare, for example weak cell/wifi signal can discharge battery pretty fast even with screen off. After saying that, you should disable everything you can that you don't use. Also, forget SOT, see how much your phone discharges overnight when it's not in use. For example charge before sleep to 100%, wake up and see what's the charge after 6-8 hours of standby. If it's less than 94-92 %, then you may have rogue app than runs down your battery and finding it and fixing it may help you a lot.

No, it is not
Anything over 5 hours is not that bad imo! However, i would expect that the note 10 plus should easily be hitting 6 hours minimum for the majority of users depending on there usage! I have literally only got my hands on my device today and after about 30 minutes use plus a software update it has dropped just 6%
my .2 cents , if your phone can last long enough for you to achieve what ever you want to do achieve in day and without you running behind a charger then you got yourself a keeper .
so don't worry about SOT , standby time ... use your phone to its fullest extent and enjoy it

I can totally agree with that, but there's this little voice in my head (Well, there are plenty, but that's not our current burning issue), that's just keep telling me that it doesn't make sense that when both people use the exact same device, with almost the exact same settings, the difference will be so big...

Living in a small country, compared to some people who use the same network in the same city (Maybe 5km from each other). Obviously, it's still not a purely scientific comparison, but it's something/
I used to wonder why there was a big difference between my battery performance and the ones I see on the net. Until I went to Taiwan for a vacation. My sucky battery phone then suddenly lasted the whole day. And that was with constant gps usage, constant checking, messaging, googling, etc.
I think the network strength and consistency is the biggest determinant of battery life given the same usage patterns. I live in the Philippines where the signal is not great which is probably why i get a lousy battery life compared to others.
However, the Note 10+ is giving me the best ever battery life ever. Out of all the phones I've owned, this is the only phone to actually surpass the 5 hour screen on time mark.

Signal strength affecting battery life makes sense, I have heard that before, but I have tried going a full day with just Wi-Fi, airport mode and no sim installed, and I got just the same results, so I guess that in my case, it's not related (sadly).
During my normal daily use, at the end of day I end with SOT of 3 to 5 hrs and 65-45% battery left. So absolutely I can get 8-10 hrs and this is with highest screen resolution, 50% brightness, GPS, BT, NFC, AOD and Edge screen on. You may have rogue apps running in the background and using your battery, did you check under settings/device care/ battery what is using your power, even if it's not very accurate, could give you some hints.
I check it constantly, no rogue apps whatsoever. I even did a factory reset, installing only whatsapp and disabling some Samsung apps, yet I still can't reach more than 5 hours of SOT, in almost "lab clean" conditions. Honestly, it's driving me mad.
How much do you loose overnight, when phone is not used at all. It should be no more than 0.5 to 1% per hr. Also force stop whatsup for few hours, maybe is searching and updating too often. I know what you mean, I had a phone couple yrs ago, wouldn't last whole day even if not used, drove me crazy until found out I changed some obscure setting in wifi before and forgot about it, once I reversed that setting phone went back to normal 0.5% per hour (it was discharging 10% per hour even not used before fix).

Hmm... I believe I lost 5% last night. I'll check back tomorrow morning for a more accurate answer.

The Exynos SoC is garbage.
I learned the hard way with the Galaxy S10+. I thought to myself: "I'll buy the Exynos version so I can have an unlocked bootloader and enjoy custom ROM's and all the good stuff!" Little did I know, it's tough to enjoy the good stuff with such crap battery life.
Snapdragon users of the S10+ were reporting amazing battery life, meanwhile I couldn't get 4 hours of SoT with very careful use. I decided not to make the same error with the Note 10+ and ordered it with a Snapdragon SoC. I can happily report 7-8 hours of SoT and it was only getting better. I'm back on the OnePlus 7 Pro because I may return the Note 10+ for the Galaxy Fold, but I am leaning towards keeping it because the camera is so damned good.
Either way, never buy an Exynos phone. I enjoyed my S8+ with the Exynos chipset, but made a grave error with the S10+. Avoid at all costs if you can. If you need the radio bands that only the Exynos version has - look into getting a battery case because you'll need it.
Good luck Exynos users
Hello everyone
I just purchased 256g 12gb ram snap 855 note 10 plus last month. But after the android 10 update my phone seems to have a bad battery life.
Its like 50 mins screen time and battery is at 82 percent.
Brightness is 50%ish fhd+ nothing in background only usual apps.
It seems.like going down by %1 every 2 or 4 minutes. I watched alot of reviews and it was not going down so fast.
Id Be glad if experienced people helps out. Im thinking to replace this.
I watched a lot of reviews too.
Unplugging the phone makes it loose like 3-4% in 2 minutes. Then i think with a common use you can get 1hr of SOT every 25%-30% with some basic tweaks.
I think the reviews are based on a battery starting from 100 to 0% without pausing the screen. You can get 10-11%/hr while the screen is on, which is pretty good depending of what you're doing.

Thanks for the reply,
Well people talk about having 8-10 hours of SOT so, this concerned me like hell. when i click battery options, it shows me that still learning patterns tho. Could it be as if it's just updated to Android 10?
Something is definitely wrong. You might want to factory reset it, and start from scratch. Hopefully that resolves it.

Dont be stupid believing sot of 8-10 hrs.... Those video showing coz they never lock the screen. Normal user will turn on off the screen.. hence eventually will use more juice. If a phone can last u 6 hrs... U be more happy...
