Hey,
This question has been asked a few times but with new roms comming out all the time I would like to ask again!
Currently I'm using baadnewz hd rom and the kernel that comes with it, using juice defended and setcpu, my phone will die by the time i go to sleep if it was at 100% when I wake up. This isn't good enough for me :/ I use my phone quite a bit.. Was looking for something a little better!
battery life
I use the latest stock rom with underclocking mod root and setcpu with some tweeks with sending around 200 texts 15 emails a couple tweets 1 hour talking and some doodle jump I get from six am to ten pm at 60% left.
What do you do on your phone playing games destroys battery life
I am on OpenDesire now, it seems a lot better. But still, I throw it on charge and in 1 hour it will charge 10%, but off charge it will drain 10% in 1 hour. It just seems so pathetic. People brag about 3 days battery life with their phones.
which eats up batt life more: games or surfing the net? I always thought it was the latter.
Also, what's the main difference between underclocking and undervolting? Won't underclocking mean a perpetually slower processing speed?

I can get two days before dying if I just email text and an hour of calling, but agian how do you use your phone what's eating up your battery?
And with set CPU I set it to 800mhz and when battery is below 35% I set it to 600
At 600 MHz I notice the browser it slower if I have more than one windows open
But the best is when I lock my phone the CPU scales down to 224mhz to 386mhz or something and that were I noticed the best battery advantage
games like angery birds destroys battery browsing is less consuming than calling.
Just to a quick Google servh on how to extend android battery life its pretty basic, keep brightness at 20 % Bluetooth and wifi off when not using use less Widgets and use advanced task manager
I see countless comments with people complaining about battery life not being good enough in most threads, and it being affected positively/negatively by updates.
I'm aware a lot of ROMs can have a very positive effect on battery life but I am more interested in the general overview – your battery life's life if you will! The reason I ask for your experiences is that I would like to qualitatively collect a bit of information from a fair few people and see what's to be seen.
It's worth noting that my latest HOX's battery life is exceptional and I believe it's down to a simple life/career change. It's really nothing new to someone who knows their fair share about batteries however I would be interested to compare.
So, list the times you wake up, take your phone off charge, put your phone back on charge, and go to sleep. If you can it would also be nice to know what your battery percentage is at certain points. It would also be interesting to know what hours you do on an average working week and in what sort of work environment (home/architect, office/marketing, shop/clothes retail etc).
If anyone can remember the things off the top of your head, even rough estimates just chuck then in the thread. I will then compare them all to my own personal habits.

Personally for me ICS was 4.0.4 was perfect, after update to JB it's really bad. On ICS i was loosing 1% of my battery during whole night on JB i can even loose 10% ; d. Overall battery drains faster during usage... all stock.
There's already a thread for battery stats.

Fantastic. I'm more interested in people's actual habits not stats about their battery because it only tells one half of the story. Like I mentioned this is more of a qualitative approach, so less battery stats.
I should of assumed that most people would be like more yourself so I will get straight to the point.
I have the benefit of working at home which means I can charge my phone whenever. I'm not forced to charge it over night; having it over charging for excessive amounts of time. I charge mine in the day and as a result I'm conscious when it hits 100% – I then unplug it. Other than natural degradation, I doubt I have ever damaged my battery in any way which has left me with a great battery life.
I was quite interested if most people charge their phones at night, go to sleep, unplug their phones when they wake up etc. This will severely accelerate the degradation of the battery.
well for me, ICS was bad...im using custom rom and various kernel to see which has the best battery life...all bad accept ncx 0.99....well some of the time its ok but some not...the battery percentage in ICS if not using will stay at 1% but for a 5 minute use, it will drop 10%...but amazingly, if you keep using in screen on, wifi or whatever, it will not drop that fast, well for me its ok....but now i have updated to JB still in stock, and the battery life is great.. i have watch HD movie using MX player in 2 hour and only drop 20%....when in ICS about 80%...big difference....i think stock kernel is best...
Well for me it's decent i mean yes it could be better but it's okay... heres my usage: i take it off the charge around 10 am when i wake up or so and it's off the charge till the next day morning with avarage 45-50% battery left and screan on time avarage 2:30 hours - 3 hours, sync with FB , hotmail and weather is On all the time as well is the wi-fi even when i sleep, my reception aint so great tho , around 2-3 bars top 4, 2g network, anyway my tops on the screan time would be around 6 hours with around 30% brightness idk how that guy managed to achive 6hours 20 mins on a single charge on medium brightness , could be jelly bean or maybe partitial charges ( i'm on ics btw ), anyway hox battery aint so bad as ppl may think, besides if you're lucky enough you'll get hox + battery into your hox ( 2100 ma ) which should provide avarage 6 hours + screan on time, tho i bet we could get around 8 with that battery. Hope this helps.
Ive got arhd and i got to say Im happy with my battery life, first I wasnt, when I went through a couple of charge cycles it got better and better. Now I can do 3.5 hours on screen time playing games and use it for atleast 24 hours with a mix of everything with watching videos to on the bus lol. So mines has been really good.
Battery has been pretty bad on any ROM. Now that I have ICJ421, my battery is near perfect. Yesterday I got 14h with 3h22m Screen On time.

Dear nexus 7 FHD owners,
I have possessed my shiny new nexus 7 since tuesday last week, and boy am I happy with it. The only flaw it has is a dead (black) pixel in the lower left corner, which is covered by the soft button bar when in landscape.
While it is a fantastic tablet, I consider my battery life very weak. While I dont have exact numbers at hand, using google chrome to browse the interwebz drains the battery very quick imo (ill post on this in the future).
I do, however, have exact numbers on gaming. Yesterday I drained the battery from 100% to 14%, playing eternity warriors 2 for 3h14m straight, With a screen on time of 4h47m, of which an hour at the lowest brightness setting and the rest at 10-25%. Do these numbers seem to you? How much gaming time do you get on a single charge?
Idle drain seems about right, i left it at 88% when i went to bed last night, waking up with a charge of 85%. This is with wifi on in sleep, wifi and mobile network location on, currents disabled and all sync apps set to once/ hour. Though surprisingly when i tested the idle time during the day, leaving wifi off but all other settings unchanged, it drained 5% during my 6 hour school day, leaving the device at home.
I also played galaxy on fire 2 HD for 2h36m straight, draining the battery from 80-1% (i did maybe 10minutes worth of browsing in between).
I should mention that out of the box I had about 50% battery and I drained it to 1% on the first use before the first charge. I know this is bad for the battery, but it is said that most devices get their first full 100% charge in the factory right? Still though, might this have an impact on my battery life?
I'm looking forward to your feedback. The return policy ends tuesday next week, and I can return the device no questions asked until then. I will do that if it turns out my device's battery life is indeed quite the exception. I'm reluctant to do this, however, since I only have one dead pixel and I am afraid I might receive a device which has other or more flaws.
Your device's battery performance is pretty normal on the 2nd gen N7. Games seem to drain the battery the most. I get the same results. 3hrs with gaming. Worms Armageddon in my case. I usually get about 5-6 hrs od mixed screen-on use on a single charge. From what I observe Chrome will usually flatten the battery in 4-5 hrs depends on what pages you browse. The longest battery life you will get on video playback - up to 10 hrs with MXPlayer. That all on autobrightness.
I find these results a little disappointing. At least they are very far away from what is advertised. I do not know what is the biggest drain factor but I suspect the GPU and the wireless connectivity.
While transfering large video files over wifi between my nexus and an iPad it seems that the nexus uses more battery with screen off than the iPad with sceen on.

Thanks for your reply. It is really comforting that it's not just my device. Still considering a return for the dead pixel more and more, though.
RAM Hungry Games
I avoid RAM-Hungry activity. Mostly 3D games of course, drain my battery quickly when I have other services running, and the games that demand a lot of RAM at once will suck the juice out of that battery, so I usually keep it on the charger when playing demanding games.

How quickly does your battery drain when not plugged in though?
wow, such nice battery life, and complaining
Mine drained in about 1.5 days last week with a bit of usage, with wifi on the whole time. Charged from 11%. No sync.
todays results
Today my battery was drained in: 1.5 hour gaming, 1 hour chrome, 5 hours screen on time.
I find these numbers quite the disappointment.

That does seem a little low to me. I don't do a lot of gaming (Tapped Out is about it) but I have a lot of on screen time between Kindle, web browsing and Netflix. This is all anecdotal though, I haven't actually measured how good my battery life has been, it just seems to be good to me.
Are you running a custom ROM? I'm running CM10.2 and I *think* battery life got better when I flashed it. But again, I didn't measure and compare so its just a gut feeling.

I'm running full stock. My stand by time is actually pretty good (1% overnight last night), but thats probably because ive disabled most power hungry features (location, wifi off in sleep etc).
While i do a lot of gaming and battery life is expected to be low then, I expected at least 4 to 5 hours worth of gaming, since it is advertised it should last 9 hours when viewing 1080p video (which is not streamed)

Bad assumption. The hardware video decoder is extremely efficient (at 0% brightness I measured 1.28W power consumption for 720p; equivalent to 11.7h battery life).
The CPU/GPU hits thermal throttling (not enough cooling to run at full speed) at about 5W power consumption (= 3h battery life). Going from 0% brightness to 100% brightness adds another 1.05W (total of 6.05W = 2.5h battery life). So a game that heavily loads the N7, can very quickly drain the battery.

Thank you for settling this problem with actual facts! IIRC the battery capacity was indeed 15Wh, though I didn't know max. usage was 5W, I thought it was more like 3-4W.
I'm a bit curious though as to how one monitors the system power consumption. Is ther an app for that?

I'm measuring via the USB port (I built a power monitor).
The N7 also has a battery gauge chip that can measure current. The driver logs some debug info, including a current drawn value every 60s. However, that value is only the average for one second, so it's not very stable.
In a root terminal, you can run
Code:
dmesg | grep bq27541
to get the debug info from the battery gauge chip.
(BTW, that current is the current flowing into or out of the battery, not the current used by the system.)

I use Battery Monitor Widget. Among many other graphs it provides a %/h graph. I can see in games my N7 drains at ~30%/h

Great explanation. Thanks. What is then happening in Chrome? It's the 2nd biggest battery drainer for me. From what I can see it drains battery at the rate of 20-25% per hour.

Chrome is a CPU pig. Even sitting around on a web page with a single animated GIF will eat 1.8W at 0% brightness. Add in some web pages with a lot of Javascript (Javascript is extremely CPU inefficient) or not using an ad blocker (it's pretty common to to pull in ad-related Javascript junk from 20+ places on a single page and a lot of ads include animated crap) and you quickly get a lot more...
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).

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.

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.
Let's forget about all software problems for a minute and focus on the battery life.
I'm really impressed right now with it, with 144hz, screen brightness about 70% and red magic logo LED working while screen is on, it seems that I could easily get 8+ SOT at the end of the day.
I hope those stats are true. :laugh:
Just one big software update could make this phone a beast.
So, how is your battery life?

You got updates? I haven't had any yet, global firmware 3.08 still, and TONS of issues, I can't even use the phone, like literally can't make a call, none of the microphones work.. As for battery life, when I was using it, battery life at 144hz was awful, I get about 4 hours use, I gotta charge my phone before lunch at work in order to keep going and by the time I'm off I gotta charge it again. However, switched down to 90hz today and I get an entire day out the phone with 40% remaining when I was off work so more than doubled my battery life going from 144 to 90

However, switched down to 90hz today and I get an entire day out the phone with 40% remaining when I was off work so more than doubled my battery life going from 144 to 90

Its unusable as a phone. Red magic should be ashamed of themselves for this trash.
Hi,
I have removed some off topic posts from this thread. Please take note that this is a battery life thread, if another topic, such as update timeline, to be discussed, please open up a new thread.
Thanks for understanding.

Change your call sim to sim2 and disable 5g for the microphones to work in call.
Also, putting call on loud speaker and immediately off also hacks it.
Battery life is fantastic, I can go all day without charging even in 144hz mode.
20 minutes of Gameplay in COD Mobile with max graphics settings, max FPS in gaming mode with the fan full speed uses around 9-11% of battery life.
Compared to 20-25% on the Razer Phone 2 (on lowest graphics settings, max fps).
Battery life is great. At 90mhz refresh rate i get around 8 hours of screen time with 25% battery left. No need for extra battery pack or charge until next day.
Im getting terrible battery life i switched my iqoo neo 3 which i was getting around 12 hours of screen time, and for the redmagic 5g now it's 26% left after just 2h gaming 2h browsing with my older phone i would have had at least 50% to 60% left
