Battery Life atrocious

Fully charged my LTE Nexus while it was on and then fully charged while it was off. Restarted the phone, haven't done anything with it in 30 mins and it's already down 4% to 96%. What's the deal?!?!?

Someone said in another thread... if you look at your Android System usage in the battery meter, its way too high... sounds like a bug - apparently a custom kernel has fixed this, but I havent rooted yet to test it.

Although I prefer the GN, laptopmag.com found that the Rezound and RAZR have clear advantages when it comes to web surfing time on 4G. GSM GN wasn't too impressive either.
"On the LAPTOP Battery Test (web surfing over 4G on 40-percent brightness), the Galaxy Nexus lasted just 3 hours and 40 minutes. That's a full 3 hours less than the smartphone average (6:38), and about 1:20 less than the unlocked Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile's network. By comparison, the HTC Rezound lasted 5:03 and the Droid RAZR lasted 4:48. Verizon Nexus owners may want to turn off 4G when they don't really need it or find other ways to conserve juice."

After just a couple days mine is doing just fine. I'm at 18 hours right now with 23% left. You have to condition the battery always.
Mine did the same thing as they always do. I only got 4 hours first full charge. After 2 more full cycles it's great!

I forget this every time I get a new phone!! It's odd considering I load roms very, very frequently on whatever phone I have at the time and I know I have to wait a couple of battery cycles for battery life to get acceptable with any new rom, but I can't seem to remember it with a new phone!
I'm going to chill and wait and see.

Also, let it die completely and then charge it up 100000% (leave it charging overnight if you can). This is a good way to "train" the battery.

Oh yeah, that will work for you. Mine is up to 20 hours now and 14% left.

20 hours of standby show me screen time 3 hours of screen time it's really bad

Im at 39% with around 2:55 screen on... I am on wifi right now though

Do NOT do this whatever you do. You should never completely drain a Li-Ion battery except when calibrating it after flashing a rom. Draining li-ion batteries hurts its battery life.

Ok, so should he do it or not? You say not to unless you're calibrating.
Well, that's what the other poster is talking about. "training" = calibrating.
It doesn't harm a thing letting them drain all the way to the point of the phone shutting down. I've been doing this for all my phones, new roms, etc. I always end up with excellent battery life.

Sorry, but you are wrong.
Deep discharges do "harm" a LiIon battery physically (there is damage done to the membranes in the battery at a molecular level).
You will get about ~500 full (deep) discharges from your battery, but you will get more than double of that if you only discharge to 50% and more if you discharge even less. So the best thing is to charge your LiIon cell as often as possible, with the exception that it's also not healthy for the cell to be at full charge voltage (4.20 V) for a prolonged time either.

Yikes. You people with good battery life are lucky haha. I'm on my 6th charge and I still get around an hour and forty minutes of battery life. I'm at like 50% after an hour or so... and that's with LTE off too...

[Q] Battery Health and Charge

Got a problem with my battery I think, the phone switches off even if it's showing 60 or 50 or what ever charge. Once the comes back on it shows zero battery. So plug it in and start charging but if I wait till it's on 2-3% and unplug the charger and leave it the battery indicator goes up instead of down! lol
So I thought it might be a calibration issue so downloaded Battery Calibration app and it's showing "Current Charge: 100%, 4mV" shouldn't the mV figure be in the thousands?????
IS there a app that will show Current charge Level, Designed Level and what the max level is now ???? Like on most laptops?
Thanks

Na battery is normal. I have had it for 2yrs now and flash a new ROM every couple of weeks lol
Will fully charge it and check the battery graphs and post back later/tomorrow.
Thx for the replys

The phone switched off (was around the 50% mark) and i couldn't switch back on until i plugged AC in.
Once plugged in it showed zero but after a second shot up to 50%+, and doesn't take long to hit 80% or so.
On further inspection it does look like battery is becoming bloated. Upgrading end of the month so will live with it then sell it to O2 recycling for £30

My SGW is about that old, but I´m having here 4 batteries flying around. The one that was used regulary for about 11 months is already pregnant and not in use anymore, though it´s still working good, so now using another one regulary and the other ones are used as reserve.

Battery reviews

I know the HTC One has been around a while on other carriers. Has anyone seen any reviews on how long the battery lasts?

I saw decent battery life in other reviews. One thing that caught my eye as a negative was that it had very slow charging times compared to other phones.

The slow charging time was in an early 4.1.2 build. It has been fixed though already in a previous update.

I read they turned off the fast charge mode for it, I think in an effort to make the battery lifespan last longer.

I read that it slowly charges the battery on purpose. It allows the battery to last longer since it's not removable. Apparently the fast charge fries batteries pretty quick.

Fast charging a battery phone is not really going to fry it... but there is truth that if you slow charge a battery, it will last longer.

I had the HTC One on T-Mobile for a while before switching back to Verizon and it got through the day with moderate to heavy usage. Overall you should be able to get a day out of it at least

What was your screen on time? The only other reason I can think of that contributed to this was all the setting up, syncing, and downloading that you may have been doing on this first full charge (unless you did that all of that prior to this full charge)
Edit: Nonetheless, thanks for sharing. Hopefully it is indeed going to be much better than that on a regular basis.

It'll be a few weeks before I can tell if the phone's batter is any good. I'm spending a lot of time on it.

All I know is that in the first few days to a week of me having a new phone, I get horrible, HORRIBLE battery life. Why? Because it's shiny, it's new, it's interesting!
Give it a few days to a week and you will be back to mostly normal usage. I know that after the initial new phone excitement goes away, my battery life usually doubles.
Not to mention the battery cycle break in. I'm not sure if it's real or not, some people say it is, some say it isn't, but apparently it takes a few charge and discharge cycles for your battery to get to a normal state?

I read somewhere (pretty sure anandtech) that with these new batteries, it is advised against fully discharging. The optimal state is to charge it when it hits 75% ish.
If a battery dies, it dies, but you should not be purposefully killing it. I'll try to find the article, but I'm busy at work right now.

I don't know where you heard that, but for Lithium Ion batteries, over-discharging happens when you are around 2V or less... most phones will turn off when the battery gets to around 3.2V
Fully charged is roughly 4.2V
Most of these batteries are good for 250 to 400 charge cycles, It doesn't matter whether you are at 1% or 80%, the phone will stop charging once it gets to 100% since you cant trickle-charge Li-Ion batteries

From what I've heard the battery is good for a day at best.
I've been debating One vs. Maxx for a few days... so confused... Battery Life vs. Sexy!

Just got my HTC One from Verizon. I am coming from a Note 2 which got excellent battery life but the phone was huge. The battery life is actually decent. I had the DROID dna and the battery life on that was horrible. So far it's pretty decent.

Battery Reducing Quickly?

Hello everyone, new to the forum since I just picked up my note 10+ and thiught this forum seemed more knowledgeable than others for battery issues or issues in general. I dont really know if it's an issue but I'm curious of how others people batteries are acting for their note 10+'s. Mine died a few hours ago and once it hit 100% I removed the charger and didn't use it for just over an hour and I noticed my battery went down to 2%. I have my always on screen on of course, most of the apps were dead and I did optimize the battery in the settings while my phone was charging then stopped using it until it charged fully. So I had no apps open and I had a version of battery saving on. I did medium but left the higher res screen on including the cpu at 100%. Would this cause my battery to go down 2% in an hour without any use?
For a side question, is there a better way to get the most out of your battery? I always thought it was let it die everyone inna while but I read recently charging it to 80 then letting it down to 60 and back up to 80 and repeat is the best? If that's true, how do you keep that up and how long will you need to keep that before normal chargers?
Thanks. Hope someone can help

If it went down 2% in an hour, that's 50 hours of standby plus always on display. That's crazy good.

Best way to go is using normal charge an never let the battery drop below 20% forget about trying to maintain certain range (60-80), it will just drive you crazy

If I put my iPad mini to sleep at 100%, I wake up the next morning with 100%. Maybe 99. But usually 100.
That's not the norm, and it's not perfect apples to apples, but it is possible.
Also, 2 days of standby with zero use is not unusual, but definitely not "crazy good".

So besides that little fight you had with the other forum member (lol) I appreciate your comment. But there seems to be back and forth, one other person says its good, another says its not. (the one I quoted below). Just seems weird to me that with no open or running apps and just the always on display running that it went down in an hour in 2%. Searching around, people saying losing 1% In an hour with the same set up, no running apps with AOD is bad. I kind of agree since its not truly in use. But unfortunately I cannot find any battery standby tests from Samsung or anyone else to confirm it.

I agree with you more honestly that it shouldn't be going down that fast in an hour with just the AOD running. I didn't have any apps running once it 100%, I was on it while charing it to around 50% but then once I knew I was putting it down for a while I ran the optimization and had the phone kill all the apps. When I saw it go down the 2% I did check out the apps using the battery and the AOD was the only thing listed. Maybe I didn't charge to a full 100%? even though it said 100%... Ill check it out tomorrow once I charge it fully again, today I was charging it up and down most of the day sadly. I try and keep most apps from not running in the background, some I do need though like for my IoT devices needing to know my location, I have yet to change that to just using LTE as my location GPS, but that was not on last night all. Ill try out the sleeping apps though, I didn't know there was a setting for that. Thanks again

AOD typically consumes 1%~2% in my past note devices(7,8,9)

Battery optimization takes a little bit so if you just started using the phone give it a few days.
Also, package disabler or ADB can be used to turn off any major things that you are not using (i.e. Bixby or DeX).
Regarding Cell life: Yes between about 30% and 80% are the optimal percents. That doesn't mean try and always keep it there, that would just be silly and unrealistic.
However, it is important to be conscious of this. For example, don't leave your phone on the charger for days on end sitting at 100%. Don't leave your phone in a drawer or a backpack with 0% in the cells.
Cells are technically damaged (or worn would be a better word) every cycle. The most damage comes from when the voltage drops to its lowest point and its highest point. (i.e. 0% and 100%)
For example, if someone were to charge a LiPo or Li-Ion battery only between 30% - 80% for an entire year and another person with the same phone always went down to 1% and always to 100%, the latter phone would have more cell wear thus it would not hold as much power.
Once you learn of this and become conscious of this then you tend to adjust your habits. All other myths and theories about battery calibration have really not been a thing in many many generations of Android. While you can screw up battery calibration through a service menu, rarely (if at all) a battery loses calibration. Most people start seeing battery wear and think its a calibration issue and then seek ways to fix this. At that point, it cannot be achieved because there is a physical change to their battery which can only be refreshed by getting a new battery.

Reporting my battery life. I guess this is truly an all day device.

Give it a couple days to settle. The first three days, mine got pretty bad battery life. Then yesterday I got almost 10 hours of screen time after using it pretty heavy all day. Mixture of Facebook (battery hog), Internet, texting, emailing, and using the camera (also a battery hog). What finally killed the battery was me downloading, installing, and uninstalling multiple versions of GCam trying to find one that worked well enough to use. I finally found one before my phone hit 0%.

This is useful, thank you. Never knew not discharging device is the way to go but we all learn new things every day. I'm at 65% right now, when waking up at 6am with 95%. Wireless android auto for about an hour, plus okay-ish use. Ill make sure to charge it up to around 80% tonight.

Over 8 hours screen time is great, best I've gotten so far is 7.5 hours

I just wanted to throw my two cents in here... My battery life is pretty terrible in comparison to my S10+. Trying to find a rogue app of some sort but I just hit 1% with 12 hours off the charger. Keep in mind that is not 12 hours of use. In fact I used it for about an hour of total screen time today.

Yeah I came from an S10+ and noticed my battery on the N10+ was pretty bad in comparison.
I did restore everything from my S10+ though, not a clean install of everything.
Wonder if that may be causing issues.

Is everyone having problems on Verizon?

Quote " Last night I even scheduled it off and had no running apps and medium power saving mode fully on and lost 5% battery in roughly 7 hours with no use."
Unless you put it in airplane mode, your phone will keep connected to cell tower (or wifi if you have wifi calling) otherwise you won't receive calls and messages, so there is no such thing as phone with no use, and if you have weak signal or some interference your battery usage can increase drastically even in standby because the cell radio will try to connect at full transmit power. And then you have all those programs running in the background, God knows what they're doing. As others suggested disable programs you don't use, also you can force close programs that you don't use often. When I had my older Note rooted, I optimized it so well it would run 2% down per 8 hrs overnight, but it took some effort. Biggest problem is to know what to disable without loosing functionality for stuff you need. Give it some time for people to learn more about new phone. BTW my 3 day old phone has 435 apps and services installed and most of them I have no idea what they do.

Battery Drains When It Hits 25% - Why and How to Fix?

Hi guys. My battery does great until it hits 25% at which point it drains fast for unknown reasons. Is it possible that one part of the battery is defective, such that the battery does fine until it has 25% left? Is there a fix for that? Or is it possible to remove the battery and replace it with a new one?

Thats crazy. So this isnt an isolated case its a common phenomenon with this phone.
I was thinking about replacing the battery which has its risks but now that I read about you having the same issue I'll decide against inheriting that risk.

Hi guys. My battery does great until it hits 25% at which point it drains fast for unknown reasons. Is it possible that one part of the battery is defective, such that the battery does fine until it has 25% left? Is there a fix for that? Or is it possible to remove the battery and replace it with a new one?

What do you mean by 'fast'. I've had my ALOO for 2 years and have noticed a slight reduction in overal battery life (as to be expected) which does appear to drain slightly quicker after 25% but it could not be described as "fast".

Fast is fast. I don't know what you mean by what I said by fast. Everyone here gets it

So it goes from 25% to zero within 2 hours with similar usage prior to it eaching 25%. I'd call that fast
Mine takes about 18 hours to reach 25% from full charge with normal usage then about 4 hours to reach zero. I dont consider that fast but power lose is quicker.
Hence my question. Fast is meaningless without sone form of a definition.

My phone takes 3 - 4 days from full charge to 25%. Thereafter it drains to 0% in less than 6 hours.
Mostly everyone who owns a 20x have similar battery life with exception to those with abnormal drain myself and another user on this thread included.
Fast is a relative term yet everyone understands 'fast' when compared to the rest of their battery life.

So we have very similar usage and drain times. I've just put that down to one of those things to be expected as the battery gets older. i.e. not abnormal. Guess it's down to a matter of differing expectaions/perceptions.

No we dont have similar drain times. You said this:
"Mine takes about 18 hours to reach 25%. So it goes from 25% to zero within 2 hours with similar usage prior to it reaching 25%."
Contrast to my battery of 3 - 4 days normal usage followed by a steep decline from 25% - 0% in less than 6 hours.
I dont see the similarity between our phones.
.

18 hours normal usage for me = 3 to 4 days for me. That's about 6 to 4.5 hours usage per day.

How is 18 hours used up til you hit 25% the same as 3 - 4 days of battery use?? You make 0 sense

If you read my post you should understand. Can't help you if you can't do the math.
