[Q] Insane battery life, is this normal?

Is this normal, an hour of web-browsing with screen on auto-brightness and phone drops from 100% to 71% ? Wifi was off, bluetooth on but not connected to anything. I have Better Battery Stats too, shall I post up? On stock ICS.

He said the wifi was off, please read people.

not sure if "insane" means bad or good. But it looks about average. The average screen on time ranges from 3.5 to 4.5 hours. Mine is dead center of that.
Bluetooth not connecting to anything still drains a lot because it is constantly scanning for other bluetooth devices.
BTW your reception is in the YEllow. that means that also leads to battery drain.
So if you have better reception and your bluetooth is off then your battery would last longer.
Note: I use bluetooth a lot and I find it to be one of the biggest factors for draining. more than GPS and Wifi. Although, using wifi with strong signal actually saves battery.

I really doubt that, because I did the same battery test Techradar* does, which is:
screen on full bright
Wifi on
Gmai, FB, etc all set to update as often as possible
Run a 1.5 hour long HD video full screen
At the end of that test I was at 84%. (the Video was on my SD card, not streaming)
In the video they have a graph of their stats for different phones using this test. GS2 and GS3 are top 2.

You're doubting that our phone doesn't last that... Uhh.. Short? I've had this phone since December and had many discussions with others on here about it and we agree that 4 hrs is about right.
So with that test you're saying that our phone can get over 6 hours throughout the say with normal use? Highly doubt it. You have to realize a couple things.
1. Wifi consumes less battery than 4g
2. You should factor in a normal days use that means including idle time i would say about 2% per hour maybe less.
3. Watching a movie means no "touch" interactions which means it consumes less battery than Web browsing or playing games.
So yes if you just leave the phone on the entire time without touching it. It'll last a long time. But with actually interacting with the phone and using 4g data. Most gets 4hr. Screen time in 17 hours of use ( you guys do get 7 hours of sleep right?)
I don't really believe that test. I know that the 4s battery sucks balls. Our phone lasts longer with our 4g on. It is saying that the one x is shorter?? One x and s lasts longer than our phone. So yeah.

I charged it up during the day yesterday, but then hammered it syncing my emails, sms messages and other things.
So, last night was my first real charge. I took it off the charger at 6am this morning, and right now, at just a few minutes less than 5 hours, I'm at 83% with 70% use being cell standby.
I'm sticking with HSPA+ today, because I know that will drain the battery more than WiFi (at least that was the case on my Atrix) and I'm trying to get a feel for the battery life when away from WiFi.
Now, full disclosure, my phone has 6 email accounts setup for push. An Exchange account, two Gmail accounts and three Imap idle accounts using k9 mail. Still, I would say it's burning battery at a little higher rate than my Atrix with those same six push email accounts.

5 hours and down to 40%.
:-(

I'm seeing a significant increase in battery life whith the s3 over the s2

I'm a bit of a light user, but a little heavier than average given new phone.

7.5 hrs @ 57%.
I'll post screens when I can.

5 Hours, 45%, screen on 2 hr, 12 min.
Interesting thing: I have a Pandora Widget on my screen, have not used it at all, and 13% of my power, and show son for 22 min.

9.5 hrs @ 29%.
I am using the default juicedefender profile.

Cell standby hogs the battery more than other phones like US One X with same SoC. I think kernel devs can work on this since this is not normal.

To get a good idea on battery life, everyone needs to show their screen on time as it should be the biggest drain.

^^ I had power saving off for the first 3 hours of the day, and screen was set to 1/4 brightness. I changed screen to auto brightness, disabled wifi network scanning/notification, turned on power saving mode (all options), and it's been like that since about 3 hours into the day. I've done some driving with Slacker Radio streaming via bluetooth to my Jeep.
Seems like cellular standby eats juice. I am in an LTE area.

is the a way to turn off LTE?

This is mine so far, don't really run any battery saving appsetc. Cell standby is a bit too much.

Battery Life for you Heavy Users

I know another battery life thread, but I want to know what battery life people get that are heavy users. What i mean by heavy is people that play games for an hour, watch videos, surf the web, music, download, calls, text. Things that would drain the battery quick and because the screen is on.
On a regular day I mostly text get about 1.5 hours of music and 2 hours of video/game. I don't play games all that much just watch videos during my breaks, surf the web allot and download small files. I have always kept WiFi and GPS enabled on all my android devices.
I had the SGS for 2 days and noticed it only lasts about 12 hours, my previous phone (hTC Raider) with the same usage would last about 14 - 16 hours.
What do you guys get? somewhat disappointed with the battery.

4 to 6 hrs screen time.

@ I_FLY_Z3R0
That's impressive I may have to check out that ROM. It funny how you guys get around 16 hours and i only get 12 I wonder what it is?
I'm starting to remove bloat and hopefully that will improve my battery, will post back at the end of the day.

Out of curiousity is everyone on a custom rom, is anyone on a stock rom and getting these numbers (I apologize if i missed this but i dont think i saw it). Im rooted but still stock on sprint and I am getting about 8 hours. I have about 4 gmail accounts sync, 4 groupme accounts sync, gps and wifi enabled. I typically lower my brightness unless im outside or in a hard to read area....any ideas? I was really ok with not trying custom roms but if i can double my battery life by doing so i might reconsider....I was on the OG Evo before and flashed like crazy to get better battery life but no matter what others said they got, I only got 5-6 hours on similar setup that i just mentioned.

I'm testing my phone to make sure it lasts me my heavy day. Coming from GNEX i have to make sure that it's worth $600 i just paid.
now i'm getting 5 hours of talk time + 3 hours screen time (auto) + 20-50 text/emails. this is with power saver setting without CPU max limit.
and at the end of day (8PM) i have around 18 hours on batt, and 20% left.
Hope that helps.

This was extreme usage. Audio constantly playing and tethering on most of the time.

Judging from the fact that he's on Blazer rom (I used to have a GSII), I'm assuming he's on sprint. Assuming he's on Sprint, I'm assuming he does not have LTE in his area yet. This could account for the huge difference in how long the phone lasts overall.
Being on AT&Ts LTE, I can get around 4 hours of on screen time and 15 hrs overall of medium use.

Here are mine. Mostly idle, lots of reading(Game of Thrones books, awweesome!), emails (all work related) and light gaming. 5% left after 20 hours, almost 4 1/2 hours screen time. I am running stock rom, rooted and I debloated a bit(few pre-installed apps, gmail, email, etc as I use other apps for those needs).
Uptime 5% left on battery.

Battery Life Problems

How's everyone's battery life? I get down to about 5% by the end of the night with light to moderate use and standby time seems to be pretty terrible (5% drain an hour or so).
I checked in the battery info and it shows Android OS at the top with 66% use and when I click on that, it shows Keep awake at 3 hours and 49 minutes.
Anyone else having this problem? I did a full wipe and that didn't fix anything. I'm also running the latest update.

I can usually last a day with moderate to heavy use. Haven't found it to be any shorter than that so far. Try turning on the processor eco mode

I wake up at about 7:00a.m. and go to sleep at around 12:00a.m. And I usually go to bed with about 30% and this is with moderate use, with full brightness and eco mode off.

My battery life is pretty atrocious as well compared to my Evo LTE.
I'm at 40% at the moment after 7.5 hours. That's mostly wifi and without 4G. Have tried keeping the screen at 40-50% brightness, eco mode on, quad control, on, etc.
Even tried cycling it a few times by letting it run all the way down and charging until 100% with phone off and it's there's been no improvement.

I have been surprised at the battery life of this phone. I was annoyed after I bought it because I didn't realize it didn't have a removable battery and I typically buy extra batteries. I gave it a try though and yesterday I used it moderately while at work for 12 hours, used it for streaming audio on the way home, and after a total of about 14 hours without charging it was only down to 70%. Eco mode was on, and screen set to 67%. Periods were with 3g, 4g, low signal, and wifi.

Dont know why you would have such bad battery life, i used my phone all day yesterday from 530am til i went to bed last night at 1115pm only 30% discharge at that point , i dl a rom on it for my gs3 when i was going to sleep 789mb and woke up this am to 36% bat left. I am truly pleased with the performance so far.
I am not a light user either and use it to play need for speed , I haven't even put it in eco mode yet.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Honestly no complaints so far. I've been toying with it for fifteen minutes after ten minutes of music play and it only now went from a hundred percent to ninety nine. On my 3d it would be down ten to fifteen percent by now.

I haven't had any issues with the battery either. After a decent amount of web browsing, a few calls and a ton of texts, some angry birds star wars and final fantasy 3, I still have 70% left. Also have wifi, gps on constantly, 68% brightness on display and no eco mode.

I've had almost 3 hrs of screen time and 12 hrs on a charge and only been down to 30% (with some Pandora streaming in there too). I normally get done with work and playing some on my phone and am still above 70% after 9 hrs. I can't complain about battery life in any way!

What percent of the battery usage is "Android OS" for you?

This morning I pulled her off the charger and browsed reddit for an hour with the screen at 63% and lost more than 20%.
I'm exchanging it and if the new one doesn't work any better I'm probably going to sell it and go back to the Evo.

Hard reset your phone and start over ,there is no reason you should return the device before trouble shooting

Already tried HR, went ahead and did another one and ended up having to reset it two more times when the Play Store stopped working.
Now I'm running with a handful of apps, one email account and I'm not syncing to anything other than Gmail and I'm still down 17% in the last hour and a half, plus I'm getting force close errors just trying to access battery status.

Should i look into getting another Optimus G.?

At the time this was done it was at about 40ish%.
At the moment I am at 25% after using my phone about 16 hours. Android OS is at 51%, screen at 19% with about 3 hours clocked in.

By this point I expect a minimum of twelve hours on the battery with at least two hours of screen on time. Im very happy with that if I use the screen for more than two hours it'll last about eight hours which is still good. This phone idles very well I expect it improve with future updates as well.

Screen on killing battery - 5% over 10 minutes!

I'm getting such bad battery drain when the screen is on its ridiculous. I've taken some screenshots from Gsam and as you can see at times I'm losing 5% battery over ten minutes of screen on time. I'm not gaming or doing anything cpu intensive and the screen brightness is set to 25%.. What sort of battery drain are others experiencing when the screen is on?

I am pretty disappointed. I had a Z2 then Z3. IMO you haven't experienced great battery life until you've used one of these phones. It's really unbelievable. I couldn't kill it in a day, period. It's really hard going backwards. I don't care how fast a battery charges or whether it's removable, there is simply no substitute for a phone you take off charge in the morning and run all day with zero thought to the battery until you plug it in at night. For me with the G4 battery is crazy bad with screen on and almost as appalling screen off. With the Z2 and 3 if I didn't use my phone much say during the morning at work it would have 90% left at lunch time. Or even streaming Pandora all day barely touched it. Same for this phone I'm already down to 70% without using it by lunch. In this reply I've lost 6% so far. I think all the comments talking about turning off WiFi, and lower brightness etc are all BS. To me, that's not using the phone. It's not making my day and my business easier if I'm constantly worried about battery life.

I've found that the avg screen time no matter what is 3-4 hours. I get 19hrs on my battery on avg and always get between 3-4 hrs of screen on time. Having that spare battery is a major help.

I miss my turbo for it had minimum 5hrs sot and over. Still getting used to this battery life on my g4

Mine has gotten better after a few cycles. The screen off drain is extremely low, which makes up for screen on drain in my case.
On my Z3v, I was amazed at screen on time - but the battery would just drain at 10%/hour pretty commonly - so even though i could get 5hrs of screen on - it would still only last for a day. With the G4, I use it all day when I need to, and then after two days I need to charge it. Not to mention I got 5hrs SOT yesterday.
I wonder if anyone will develop a 4k Mah battery that fits in roughly the same size back? I've seen 6k already... but I dont need that much. Just a bump more will help.

Recharge cycles, letting it get low enough that It needs to shut down and then charging it back up with the stock charger.
Others have reported similar, and others have also mentioned doing a factory reset if you haven't tried that.
Overall I agree with the barely average life. Especially with this phone - I'd rather they make it .5mm thicker and put a bigger batter to allow for real all day phone use of calls, email, etc.
