I think his answer was perfect. There's good battery and bad battery, it's as simple as that. X hours of playing/watching X by somebody tells me nothing about a gazillion other factors playing a role (or not). This tab has a not so good battery but it isn't terrible either.

I think your right i was going for longer battery life in the end. the yoga suppose to get 10 hr of video time or more bet gamming probally be 6-8 hour range of midlle of the road games.
I use it for reading, web browsing, email and such. The occasional puzzle game or chess. I'm getting about 3 days out of it. So it's not great but as I use it at home and the charger is always close by, screen resolution was the more important point for me. Before I had the yoga for about 2 weeks before exchanging it for the g pad. The yogas battery life was just amazing compared to the g pad, but the screen has 100 ppi less, which made reading really straining to the eyes in my case. Just to give one of hopefully many examples that can help you decide based on your own usage patterns.

I've rooted and stuck Madhi rom (4.4.2) on mine. Using it for nearly a week now, but the battery isn't brilliant. Had a China 8" tab before which also wasn't good with battery (and an awful ppi for that matter).
Roughly my usage is similar, or just a bit better than erwaso's. I get a bit more on certain things like video playback as I've optimised the Build.prop to save on battery. Also I've used an app to stop all major wakelocks and throttled the cpus to run slightly lower clock speed and on demand.
Personally I don't like any Apple products, but you can't beat there tablets for battery life; Android is too power hungry!

Yea, i don't read i never learned lol no i don't read anything other than an article on the web. I wanted it for movies and light gaming via fpse and other emulator's so the yoga's long battery life was what i was going for. The toshiba has slightly better cpu and screen but the battery life reports on review varies alot 200 250 was my price range also considering the nook hd plus get decent battery life on the reviews and has full hd screen. I
'm leaning towards that 180 i can pick it up tomorrow. The other's i have to order online. Ty for your feedback.
I also saw microsoft store has dell venue 8 pro on sale for 230 it can play older pc games like cod modern warfare and such it get 8hr battery life. Its the last tablet for me for awhile my wifes cutting me off bounced around tablet to tablet and phone to phone. lol so i'm sure as soon i buy 1 I'm going to wish i would bought a different 1 lol
Im seriously considering returning this item. I just bough the moto 360 yesterday and im getting unaceptable battery life. I see people on this forum able to use the watch for a full day and it still got battery while mine is struggling to run for 6 hours straight. Right now my watch has been running for 4 hours and a half and its down to 44%. I have tried every troubleshoot,I have resetted my watch 4 times now,I have cleared the cache of my application and reinstalled the whole thing. I even tried running it without any application installed, completely stock and my battery is still draining like crazy.
Im not using it that much. Right now I have insta weather installed,skymaster skin and wear battery stats and thats about it. I love this watch but i cant deal with this kind of ****. I consider myself pretty good with hardware and new accesories, and I cant believe how much time ive wasted trying to make this thing worked. Is there something to do really?
Try to use for is purpose for notifications if you bought yesterday and do all that things how are you going yo know which is is battery life with a normal use ?
The panel is who use al the battery , if u use ir forma notification you would get a day battery like a phone if you use youre phone for 4 hours you would drain your battery is battery life of your phone of 4 hours ? NO.

I have some difficulty understanding , but from what I can see you are telling me im using my watch to much? this is not the case. I just got back from work, and in 3 hours of work I lost about 30% of battery. this mean that my watch would be dead after 10 hours of small to none-use of my watch. I always see people talk about how theirs can last 18-24hours on average usage, are these people simply lying?
What do you have install ?

Android wear : 9%

Yea well, I still have 12 days left to try it and see if it gets better, If not im gonna have to return this watch. I need at least 10 hours.. I mean comon this is ridiculous getting 5 to 8 hours per charge.. Im doing 20 hours of heavy usage on my LG g3 right now so the watch would die on me 3 to 4 time by the time my phone die... this is ridiculous
That Skyweather app is incredibly poorly written and eating your battery like crazy! It looks like it's causing wakelocks! UNINSTALL IT! NOW! And don't put it back on your watch, ever!
And you never mentioned what screen settings you are using which can be a huge culprit for battery drain! If you care about battery life:
Do NOT use Ambient Mode!
Do NOT use Auto Brightness!
Set your watch on the lowest #1 brightness and leave it alone. Stop fiddling with it. Stop turning on the screen! I see a LOT of on-screen time! I know it's new and all but it's not a toy.
It's supposed to be for quick glances, not a replacement for your smartphone!
Put the watch into THEATER mode if you find your wrist movements are waking it up far too much and eating battery. Be smart.
Also, YES, fully charge and then fully drain the watch for several days to a week. (Bring your charger to work for this part.)
I did this and my battery is excellent. It worked for me so give it a try.

One more tip that works well when you don't need to use your watch at night power it down and back on when you wake up and if you don't need notifications from your watch put it in aeroplane mode that turns bluetooth off big drainer when you need it take it out of aeroplane mode I get nearly 3 days use like this.

Just be aware that theater mode seems to turn off vibrations.
"...If you care about battery life:"? It's good advice, however do you hear yourself? What you are basically saying is "don't use the features, shut it all down and use it only to look at the time (ahem, just get $35 timex if that is the case). That's kinda nuts for a product that is targeted to the general consumer. Motorola (or Lenovo or Google?) have a marginal product here at best. Thats bad because the smartwatch has been with us now for a number of years, the battery should be a lot better - especially at this fairly high price point. How many people have returned the 360 after a few days because the battery life is crap in real world use? I'm going to bet many did, unless they are like us tinkerers, programmers and devs here... Nobody and I mean nobody is going to know to do the the things you have outlined to "save" the battery. Consumers are just going to use it, show it off and load whatever is available on the app store..
I've said it before on these forums and I say it again... We are paying to beta test this watch for Motorola. The battery life is horrific and Motorola know it. It is a "toy" admittedly a cool one at that. But frankly... All of us 1st gen owners who are sticking it out should be getting coupons for a deep discount on gen 2.

Umm, did you notice that you're in the Motorola Moto 360 forum?
same here i bought it tried to learn or play with the watch all day not all day few hour after it died but i didn't thought it was watch defective or w/e. its my own fault because i turned it on non-stop. i give it a normal usage a day after i bought it pretty much live to 20% on 9 hour on few times changing face theme and showing off to friends lol,, i think this watch will last 15hrs max on any heavy usage. those who said 1 or 2 day they're definitely lying or encouraging people to buy the watch or can be Motorola's hired scum bags
Guys, I am constantly getting at least 40 percent left at the end of my 12 hours day.
Using it for notifications only, as intended, plus some weather checking and replies by voice to incoming messages.
Ambient OFF
Auto brightness ON

While that post is pretty much in need of a complete rewrite, I will agree that I have no idea who these people are that are getting 2 days out of there watch on a single charge. I End the day at about 30% which is great, but it would be practically dead by morning if I wouldn't charge it over night.
I use InstaWeather and have no issues on battery life. Have you updated to the latest firmware? I can easily get a full day with plenty of battery life left at the end of the day. I'd return it for a different one. You may have issues. After the first update to 4.4, battery life for everyone went up dramatically.
Hi, so basically I wanted to know how fact peoples' battery drains depending on the app. My brightness is on 50% with adjustment off. When I am using twitter it goes down by 1% in about 10-12minutes. But when I use Facebook or LectureNotes (main worry) its about 4 or 5 % per minute. Could someone do a test using these app and compare? All the things like GPS, blutetooth are off, wifi always on.
@kamilsss: You can see battery usage in the `battery´ section of your device's system settings.
I know you can, my concern is that my battery seems to be draining a little bit quicker than it should be when I compare it to others' notes

Clash of Clans is a battery destroyer, no matter what device.
I bought my tablet 1 month after release. It's now 1.5 years old. I wonder if we are starting to near that magical point where Li-ion batteries start to lose capacity due to age?

I got mine about then also and just replaced the battery, it lasts alot longer now. I charged mine over 900 times. The only reason I know cause of a app that keeps count of how many times the battery is charged, the spen is taken out and headphones plugged in plus some other things. I went for a little bit expensive battery but totally worth it. I don't even have to charge the battery everyday like I had to before replacing it.

it was pretty easy. I did have to open it 2 more times to get it right but it was my fault. The first time a cable was loose and second time I didn't pop the power button in right so I couldn't turn off. Its all good now and definitely worth buying. It was a bit expensive but I didn't want a chance of getting a bootleg cheap one. I got it from new power 99. It came with all the tools and instructions on a DVD but I used you tube.
How much was it? I am thinking about changing my battery as well

Around 65 dollars. I got from new power 99 and they have a guarantee for 1 year. I saw other samsung ones for alot cheaper but they come from china and I didn't want to get a bootleg one. I went with one a little more money and it was worth it.
Hi guys, is this battery the best and highest quality for our tablet?
What are your experiences ... lasts the same as the official when it is new or it is a minor battery?
In Amazon it costs 67 euros, it's a lot of money but maybe it's a good investment. Can you please help me?

i personally would not go for 99power, i heard it's hit and miss plus it not true 4900 milliamp battery they supply.. You got two options option 1) Get a power bank i picked up a Belkin 15000 milliamp power bank easy 2 full chargers for Tab S 8.4 it’s a bit pricey tough, you can get a Anker PowerCore 20100 more capacity for less price..
2nd options is look on eBay get a smashed Tab S 8.4, ask seller how old it is. Also how much use. You might get lucky as some user are real light user rip the battery out and install it.. That’s how i would go about it getting a battery for the Tab S 8.4. Never would I purchase third party garbage no offence TO ANYONE as my Tab S 8.4 SM-T705 is over 4 years old. I’ve got over 3500 chargers dischargers if I wasn’t a heavy user it would easily stay on standby for 3+ days easy. But since I use for everything for example movies YouTube background playback while web browsing Bluetooth music streaming browsing ebaying amazon etc. battery last about 3 to 4 hours.
No third party battery would last over 3 hours 4 years down the road that’s a fact mate these Samsung apple Sony spend millions on r&d that’s why they am so good! Anyway that's my two cent!

Thanks for answering so widely.
What do you think of these consumptions with these uses
Youtube from 100% to 0% manual brightness 50% = 5 hours screen
Movies downloaded using Mx Player from 100% to 0% = 9.30 hours screen
100% to 0% using Netflix = 8 hours of screen
Off line movies 10% x hour
Netflix 12% x hour and Youtube 20% x hour
With a mixed use I get between 6 and 7 hours of screen.
What surprises me the most is how much Youtube consumes at the rate of that 20% x hour .... It may not be necessary to change the battery but as I am the new owner, I do not know if these consumptions are good or not ...

Are you rooted? Mate your stats I’m reading you have a brilliant battery. i can remember when i had it first I’ve was getting 12+ ish hours YouTube manual brightness 30% but you have to factor in network conditions as 4G LTE use much more power than HSDPA+ plus I don’t use Wi-Fi.
I have unlimited data plan, so i couldn’t tell you Wi-Fi playback times, ive never used Wi-Fi since I purchased it. Been pure mobile network, I do believe Wi-Fi will give you more battery time if you put in flight mode and just turn on Wi-Fi. My network is awesome 70+ meg download 40+ upload if in the right spot..
Mate your battery is fine easy good few years before you see some real battery drops but that’s if you’re a super heavy user moderate use easy 3+ years before serious battery drops like me..
I can remember YouTube background playing all night sometime screen would stay on other times off I can remember if I hadn’t slept for good few days I catch up with my sleep YouTube would be playing all night 13+ hour straight I would wake up still have around 20+ percent battery left of a single charge..
If you’re rooted you can check discharges and charges via PHONE INFO App play store android robot green colour he is that’s the icon for the app.

I'm not root and the tablet is second-hand. He has 2 and a half long years, that's what his previous owner told me. I think it really is 3 years ... The use that gave that person was YouTube and some series or movie and did not use it every day, hence it is still a consistent battery.
The other day I was watching 2 movies and a chapter of netflix off line, total 5 hours of screen at 50% ... This left me astonished and especially the little expense of mx player, 10% every 1h 5 m. I remember that a movie consumed me 20% x 2 hours 15 minutes, very well. What I do not understand is the reason why YouTube consumes so much, 20% an hour. I use Youtube vanced, og Youtube and the 2 consume the same, the official also but I have it frozen. Yesterday
I installed disable package pro and I have 150 frozen apps, all of Samsung dead ... Use nova launcher and few apps, about 30 as much.

To put twrp is easy. How, through Odin? I would like to have the possibility if I ever need a higher version of MM, I think there is an Oreo rom ... The idea is to have twrp without root to leave it like that but to be able to flash in the future

That's what I did to save my T800. The parts for the T800, like the mainboard, were _ridiculously_ expensive, but then I found another one with a broken screen on ebay for the price of a mainboard, and it served as a donor for the mainboard, battery, and other parts. We'll see how long the donor battery lasts..

Are you rooted ? You can check your battery charge count via Phone INFO app, from play store.. Anything under 200 charge discharge cycle is a excellent battery...

That`s the first app i tried.
I cannot see battery cycle count under usage history, it only shows headset connector count and charger connector count and i am rooted and i have granted all permissions it has asked for.
According to the app download page on google play the details below should show but they all dont.
▪ USAGE HISTORY:
- Headset Connect Counter
- Charger Connect Counter
- S Pen Detach Counter - MISSING
- Battery Discharge Cycles - MISSING
- Battery Health - MISSING

Hi guys,
I bought this Newpower99 battery and I must admit that it is a very good battery.
In my first load cycle using the tablet to watch Youtube, online series, Netflix, Amazon video and surfing with very good brightness to enjoy this magnificent screen amoled, I got 8 hours of screen with 22% still battery. I am very happy with this duration and also say that the blinks and restarts have disappeared. Without a doubt it is an excellent battery, despite costing 50 euros is still a smart purchase. The others that are for sale in EBay cheaper, do not deserve any investment
This is what I can tell you today, later with the passage of the months, I will give more information.

I can definitely confirm that this Newpower 99 is an excellent battery and that its price, even being high, is a safe investment. This consumption is all multimedia, Netflix, droid series, etc. Half off line, half on line. Never in saving mode and with good brightness
My battery drains too fast.. and I disable the features and not play games..
I have this only 2 years..
If I have 15%.. it was going down to 0% so fast..
maybe it was caused because of the new updates?
Try and use it until it turns off and then fully charge it while it's still off do that a few times and see if it gets any better. I spotted something online which suggested this and it helped mine a little

I'm having the same problem. I tried this but the battery life is still not great, like sometimes I charge my S9 twice a day.

Yeah to be honest mines from April 2018 and I still have to charge it twice a day sometimes but if it goes off at 15% the full charge thing seemed to help. The accu battery app, said my battery around 80% guess there still alot of stuff running in the background not sure what phones expected battery life is but their only covered by 1 year warranty I believe which probably says alot and the s9 exynos is known to be worse than snapdragon chop for battery
These new Samsung devices have the worst battery life around. Every single update it gets worse. This is Samsung forcing you to pay for a new device which will be exactly the same.

I don't think so, my friend's note 8 last a lot longer than my S9. Maybe it's an issue with the S9 itself because the S8 had longer battery life since the beginning.

If you're aware, Samsung flagships get 2 years of major updates, one year of monthly security updates and one year for quarterly security updates, which equals 4 years of updates, and if you add the first year before receiving the first major update, it's 5, similar to iPhones, and since iOS doesn't bring a lot of new things with their updates, it's basically the same thing.
I'm having so much fun using my S9 and I never got bored even after 2 years of use, and now I'm waiting for OneUI2.1 ? It's true that battery life isn't great but my friend's iPhone X is worse than my S9, so it's a normal thing after 2 years of use, at least for 2017/2018 flagships.

Come on mate, I also have my s9 from launch, do you seriously think that 3000 mAh is still at 100% capacity? Clue, it's not. After so many long charge cycles, I'd say it's only around 70-75%, equivalent to 2100-2250mAh. Atleast you still got a fast charger that comes with the phone. I'd rather not complain considering the screen is beautiful.

My battery about 80% according to the accu app about 28 months. Does have screen burn across the bottom of the screen though [emoji24] but I'm not giving up on it yet [emoji1787][emoji1787]
This is totally a software failure.
I am a beta tester and when the first one came out for android 10 the battery life was like when i first had the phone. Lasted all day long. As they rolled out more and more beta updates it got worse again.
This had been one of the worst devices for battery life ever since they updated it.
Hello everyone. I've just bought a brand new Galaxy S9 few days ago. My first impression is awesome. The device is lightning fast despite having 2-year-old hardware. I am totally amazed how Android evolved over the years. Coming from a Galaxy S7, I am more than satisfied with my new phone. However, battery life is becoming a concern for me, as I get more and more familiar with the device. The problem is, phone only lasts half day, at most. I can only get 2-2,5 hours of SOT which is unacceptable for me. I upgraded from my S7 primarily for better battery life. I use most of the smart features like AOD, High Accuracy Location, Edge Notifications, 2K resolution etc. and no power saving mode. Can someone explain how can I increase my battery life without sacrificing all these features?

Was it new sealed?
Yeah, brand new dual sim exynos version.
Its down to the software i am totally convinced.
Samsung needs to fix this urgently. It has been going on for at least 2 years and still no fix.
My s9+ drains super fast within minutes once it reaches ~25%. And the "best": if I connect the charger then, it wont charge the battery, but drains even faster to 0%!!! I need to restart the phone.
Tried a full wipe, but no changes!
Samsung needs to read this topic and sort out this mess.
S9 had terrible battery from from the launch. It's the only reason why I regret buying the phone. At least I adapted to terrible battery and learned how to use my phone less so it can survive full day of battery life.
2.5-3.5 screen on time with light tasks only and constant battery saving measures is terrible in my opinion.
Then I bought Galaxy Watch and crippled my battery even more when it connects via bluetooth, it drains so fast it became countdown timer

That's what I was trying to say.
When I first got my S9 I was getting only 4 hours of screen on time while my friend was able to get 6-7 hours on her S8 and she was using it for 1 year at the time. Also every tech website mentioned that the S9 was noticeably worse than the S8 when it comes to battery life.
I got used to it though and I'm keeping my S9 until it stops receiving updates at all.
