[Q] When it comes to heavy Continuous using .. which rom / Ker gives me more hours ?!
and as you can see , i tried almost everything to get more " screen on time "
someone told me to get extended battery
so , could anyone tell me please that is the best one so far ?
and how many extra hours i will get with this one ?
i mean in heavy using
thanx a lot ,
and sorry again

Either get the 2000mah samsung extended battery if you want to keep the slim profile, or get one of the brick sized extended batteries from ebay

any reports about this original Samsung one ?
is it better or the other ones ?
i don't care about size
cuz i have a Case-Mate tough and SPG neo hybrid and i guess they could handle it , right ?
so , any help about exact tested ones ?

Search. The. Fracking. Forum.

^ tried ..
but found many topics with tens of pages

so far i think the original extended battery feed me well

The best kernel is void.echo, excellent performance and battery.
I've got the Samsung 2000mAh battery and you get another cover with it as its slightly bigger. Got me 5 days with void.echo. WiFi on almost all the time. Hes a picture:

They're also bigger ones on eBay but theyre fat and ugly. They are 3500mAh. Never tried them, never will. Ruins the look of the phone. Heres a pic from eBay:
I would go for Samsung's 2000mAh. My ROM is WajkIUI with void.echo. I hate siyah, it drained my battery in 5 hours, i didnt even do anything!

thanx a lot
could you please post some screens about usage ?
specially screen on time
i got max 3 ~ 4 hours with my current stock one
what about yours ?

u could also get an external 1350 mah battery from samsung
there is a link of it somewhere here
and also one more think u can do
disable one core
lock it at 500 mhz full load
undervolt it
and do the same to the gpu

Really? 5 days? I would love to see some proof of that.
there's no rom\kernel combo wich give you that long juice time unless you turn your phone on, put it in "flight mode" and use it as a paper weight.
Anyways i manage to get about 30-40 hours of medium + usage with Anker 1900mAH battery.

It's actually very easy reaching 5 days with wifi always on and GSM... If in all the five days you turn the screen on like 1 hour total.
Those statements of "my phone lasted x hours" without any aditional info are completely useless.

true, gsm only saves looooooooots of battery but dont get mad if you wont receive some of the calls. im happy with phone lasting about 30-40 hours with avarage use, wifi always on brightness set to 0 unless going outside- auto , and pretty much it. better than my desire anyway

Regarding those chinese batterys off ebay.. I dont have any first hand experience with them.. I ordered a 3000mAh battery for my Samsung Galaxy S (the first one). It took maybe 2-3 weeks to arrive, and by that time I had already upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S II. I sold the Galaxy S to a friend, gave her the huge battery when it arrived.. she later said that the bigger battery didnt last any longer than the official original Samsung battery! She also had a couple of other chinese batterys that fit the standard casing, and she said those ones didnt last as long. I personally didnt really notice a difference, but I was always tending to swap out batteries around 5pm when I finished work.
I've just ordered an official Samsung 2000mAh extended battery for my Samsung Galaxy S 2. And I'm starting to play with custom ROMs and kernels. I'll report back my findings when the battery gets here in 2-4 weeks. I'm currently struggling to get through an entire day.. auto brightness, 3g enabled, checking emails every now and then, facebook pushing data down at will, and often with music or FM radio playing through the earbuds.

I"ve got the Samsung Extended Battery with SensatioN Rom with Siyah Kernel.
With bare minimum usage, few phone calls, texting, no 3G connectivity, no Wifi, no music, no gaming, I can get over 5 days.
With normal usage, few phone calls every day, send few texts, internet via 3G or Wifi every now and then, email and weather sync set to every hour, few hours of music here and there gets me little over 2 days.
My heaviest usage was 5 hour continuous gaming without Wifi or 3G connectivity and the battery went from 100% to 12% in that 5 hours.
If you use the display a lot, then forget about getting days of usages on one charge. You might, at the lowest brightness settings, but I never bothered with it. I"ve had my display brightness set at one step above middle ever since I got this extended battery.

could you post screenshot of the " screen on time " please ?
because this is the real challenge for the battery

Better go for original samsung kit 2000 mah....

Please everyone i need numbers
my current stock one gives me max 3~4 screen on time
what about those ??
how many exactly it will gives me screen on time ?
help me on this way please

there is no point other users giving you their max screen time as usage will be very different.
I could say 2 hours of screen time, but I could have GPS connected, Wifi or 3G downloading massive file, music playing and other background tasks doing stuff all at once...
Or I could say 6 hours of screen time at lowest brightness setting while I typed out an essay with no Wifi or 3G, no music minimum background tasks. Almost using the phone as a typewriter.
What you are asking is like "how much farther will 40 litres of fuel get you in a particular car, compared to 30litres of fuel".
It depends on how you accelerate, whether aircon is on or off, are you going uphill or downhill, is it in city driving or highway driving??? People will give you different figures and unless their driving condition is exactly same as yours, the figures really mean nothing.
All you need to know is the extended battery is about 25% larger than stock, there for should give you 25% more usage time.

With the watch, how is your PHONE battery life?

I have Note 3, stock 4.4 and rooted. I can usually go from 7am to 6pm with 40% battery left.
With the watch, now I have 13% left at the same time.

Mine's actually gotten better since I look at my phone less now.
Is there a lot of bluetooth interference in areas you spend most of your day?

I know in the office tons of people use Bluetooth. I can scan my office and the Note will show all kind of devices. Mouse, keyboard, phone, headset, etc.
If broth interference is the main cause, there is really nothing I can do to stop this from decreasing my battery life. [emoji25]

That's most likely the cause. I've read some articles that have blamed high bluetooth traffic for battery drain.
I would check your battery life under similar use during days you're not in the office if you'd like to say that is for sure the cause.
I wouldn't be surprised if moto makes more bluetooth improvements in a future update that helps the battery, just like the last one.

I have a Nexus 4 so it's ****ty as per usual

LG flex here. With watch I unplug at 6am and plug back in at midnight. With light/moderate use I end up with about 40% but I'll torrent and play games on my lunch break so it's more around 15%

The Android wear thread goes a bit berzerk when you shut off your watch, constantly trying to reconnect every X seconds.
That's really stupid - it should be triggering on whenever the bluetooth connection to the 360 is re-established. My phone has been OK otherwise (I think)

My battery life hasn't really changed at all on my phone. I guess it's possible that the reduced time I use my screen due to the watch makes up for the battery drain from bluetooth?

As been mentioned, if your phone and watch are out of range Android Wear will chomp away at your battery. I leave my watch on my desk at night and my phone on my nightstand (which apparently is just outside of BT range.) . If I do not disconnect Android wear, it will crush my battery when I unplug the phone in the morning.
For now, I just disconnect Android wear before bed. Hopefully a widget will come along at some point...or a tasker plugin
As far as when they are connected, any battery hit I take from Android Wear seems to be more than offset but the reduced screen time I use on my phone.

Have rooted Note 3 4.3 and Moto 3 watch... No battery issues here on phone and on watch...

I have a OnePlus One and the battery life has gone down some with the 360. When I check my Wakelocks, the "BlueToothRemoteDevices" is usually near the top. It's not too bad though, the OnePlus has a huge battery and great at battery management, so I still end the day with plenty of juice left.

Galaxy s5 battery life is exceptional. Even with the 360.

Just 1 hour screen time though.

With the one plus one, I go from. 7 am to 5pm and still have 60% left with about 3 hours screen one time. I easily can go 2 days with the Moto 360. It's mainly a notification device for me and watch so I'm not always playing with it
Sent from my OnePlusOne

I am having the same massive phone battery drain using the Moto 360. I don't have a problem with the watch battery life. But I certainly do on my phone. At work I don't use the phone (or watch) and the phone normally drains about 8% or something. Now that I have the 360 and Google Wear, my phone battery is more like 72% when I get home and almost all of that is shown as being used by "Google Wear".
This is a Nexus 5. The two are always within about 3 feet of each other. I have Google Now OFF. I have not installed any "apps" on the 360. I rebooted both this morning as a test, made no difference. Four days in a row of this now (since I got the 360). So then I tried to factory reset the watch and resinstalled Wear on the Nexus. No change.
As an example: Today I demoed the watch to two people. I did almost nothing else the entire day. I had no notifications at all. Almost 10 hours off the charger. I made no calls. I had no texts. I didn't even wake the phone AT ALL. 20% of my phone battery disappeared and 65% of it was ANDROID WEAR! 55m and 15s of CPU usage on WEAR???!!!?!?!! Why???? What could possibly justify that much load/power?
(Oh, and the watch only used 25% of its charge during the same period) ((Posted on the G-Watch forum, since I found a similar thread there first, but this forum is more appropriate))

Not to sound rude but you are complaining about going almost 10hrs and losing only 20% with a bluetooth device having constant contact with the phone?
That isn't "massive" at all. The reason it's 55% is because you didn't do anything with your phone at all, apparently. If you had done ANYTHING ELSE at all Android wear wouldn't be at 55% because that is how it works. It's that high because nothing on your phone was doing anything else.

Yes. Most people are reporting almost no power usage from Android Wear. Reporting 65% battery use for something that is or should be almost "idle" is crazy. I have used other "real" bluetooth devices all the time and have never drain like this, and they certainly don't consume almost an hour of CPU time.

Of the 20% of the battery used, 65% of that was Android Wear. It doesn't matter what else MIGHT have been going on with the phone, Wear, alone, is draining power at the rate of 1.34% PER HOUR doing what should be essentially nothing. And yet that "nothing" required an hour of the CPU being busy? Put another way- if I were off the charger for 16 hours (a full awake day) I would be losing almost 22% of my battery... for nothing. Now, if I were actually DOING something with Wear during that time, it might be worth the 22% across the day.

it is doing something, it is talking to your watch.

On my Nexus 5...
Before i had the Moto 360 i'd end the day around 50% battery left.
With the Moto 360 im getting 40% at the end of day. (Moto 360 is @ 30-40% also with normal use).

Battery problem and heating MI A2 LITE

Hi, I bought the xiaomi my a2 lite version 32gb / 3gb for the second time, because with the first one I bought I had the same problem that I mention now.
Basically the cell phone gives me between 3 and 4 hours of screen, using 50% brightness and only applications such as Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Chrome (I do not use any type of games since that is the main problem).
And the main problem is that I practically can not play basic games such as Clash Royale, Candy Crush, Brawl Stars, Free fire since the minutes to start playing the phone raises a temperature between 39-40 degrees and that's where the battery it drains by eg playing Clash Royale at 10 minutes the battery drops by 10%.
And finally to add that it is not a minor detail is that the cell battery at night without using it drains 15% -20% for about 8 hours.

And I was worried that mine took 8% while I sleep, man you sure feel frustrated :s
Have you tried to calibrate the battery with an app (one that needs root)? I'm thinking about doing so, I can never get more than 5hs of screen time, being in Android 9 and with "auto battery" on.

try install battery monitoring apps like AccuBattery, BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock detector. they show you what app is draining your battery.
As far as i know Facebook is a huge battery drainer. Maybe try using alternatives like Friendly or Folio (both in playstore)
im using Magisk module LKT and WakeBlock and i get something around 10-12h of SOT and 0.3-0.6% battery drain per hour in idle.

I've sent mine to warranty for the exact same problem. Waiting for a new one!

No, at the moment the only thing that I tried was to restore it from the factory but I did not solve anything.
if it is a pity that this happens because the cell phone is good in general.

I will try to do that but besides the problem that the battery does not last, it is also in that the cell phone reaches 40 degrees playing basic games and it is very annoying the truth

I think your device is faulty. I have a Mi A2 Lite too but I never faced problems like yours.
I manage to get about 2 and 1/2 days of battery life with almost 10h of SOT (even though I don't use the phone heavily) and, during the night period, I haven't faced any drain at all; when I wake up, my phone has the same battery % than 7 hours before.
Despite that, I also have a problem regarding phone heating, but it happens during charging periods. My device's temperatures grow significantly every time I put it into charging. I've always used the original charger, but I start to think it has some problems because even its surface heats up during the process. I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing that. Do you also have this issue?

If I have to use the guarantee and they change me for another
And as for the charger, if I have the same problem
If I plug the cell phone with 20%, the cell phone starts to heat too much for the front and back and reaches up to about 40 degrees
The solution I could find is that I plug it in between 50 and 60% and that way it does not heat up.

I guess Xiaomi did it on purpose in order to make the phone charge faster when it's low on battery and then make him slow down when it's almost there.
But of course, in order to do that, the charger and the phone overheat because the first one goes (let's say) full power for the first half of the process and then it cools down when there's no need to "push" anymore.
It's logical, but it annoys me anyway since I know that, with time, the battery is going to wear out.
I wonder if using another charger will solve the problem. I'll try.

Question Great battery life!!

Battery seems to be getting much much better as I'm using the phone, phone was on 100% at half 6 this morning and now it's 8 at night with 37% that's with mobile data on all day no WiFi until I took the screenshot I had it turned on

I no not much heavy tasks or gaming but allot of video watching and going through Google feed, just daily usage while at work

There is 5g in the area but I'm not on a contract deal, I'm "pay as you go" so I can only get 4g, I don't really need 5g I get over 200mbs , apparently lol, when I run speed test.

I have had the phone for a week now and I must say battery life has been great for me, I have an average usage with 50% WiFI and 50% 4G LTE, i have been getting 5-7 hours of SoT on a daily basis. The variance between 5-7 is normal as it adjusts on total battery time. On days where i dont use the screen much, the battery extends to the next day as the screen has been off majority of the time. But on days where i reach 7h of SoT, the battery dies out by the time i sleep.

something is wrong with your phone. your mobile network % is really high and you are not even on 5G.

It's normal for the pixel 6.
Every pixel 6 has it, assuming it's the Samsung modern

Not on my 6pro. Many people also reported that they don't have a high battery consumption on the network standby. Mine ranges from 2-10%. With 5G disabled.

Mines similar with 5G enabled (and a contract sim which uses it), so not sure why you brought 5G into the equation. 9% for the last 24 hours, was 7% yesterday.

5g drains my battery quicker. hence why I disabled it.

Anyone know what's idle drain with AOD on ?

My batt life seems to be getting better with use as well.
Still on November .36, rooted, Despair Kernel, 5G active, WiFi scanning off, AOD on, not much tweaked yet.
Got this SOT the end of November. I'm happy and love my P6P!

Big test for mine yesterday coming back from Scotland. Off charge at 7am and then an 8 hour coach ride with mixed no signal, 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G coverage, i watched a 2 hour film, read flipboard, used Facebook, used twitter, sent messages via Signal, sent messages via Google Messages, listened to some music using Poweramp, got home posted loads of photos on social media (finally back on Wi-Fi) and at 9pm last night i had 40% left and had to put it on charge for the December update.
Mine is fully stock, Wi-Fi left on, Bluetooth is on for Fitbit connectivity and Covid tracing, NFC is on, AOD off.

The longest SoT I've had was just yesterday, with close to 13hrs. I was mainly on wifi doing a bunch of web surfing and chat.
I know there's been some questions of, who uses their phone to browse websites all day, and I can be one of those people lol.
Other times my battery usage varies greatly depending on how much I charge and use it. I was able to get around 8.5hrs just from an 85% charge with mixed usage of wifi and cellular.

How on earth do you get 337mah drain with screen on. are you using it on 0 brightness. mine drains 700mah easily with screen on. i also get abysmal deep sleep percentage around the 50% deep sleep. Worst battery on a phone ive ever owned

That's about what I get too, 300 - 400 mAh. Also overnight I get at least 93% deep sleep if not more. Something is keeping your phone awake while you are doing nothing so I don't believe it's a bad phone or battery. It's a bad app or misconfiguration. You need to find what that is and correct it.

Yes i believe it is something to do with an app but cant seem to narrow it down to which one. On airplane mode it instantly goes to deep sleep. Deep sleep is good overnight. At around 91 percent but during the day when im checking my phone every 10-15mins i get 40-50percent deep sleep. Brightness is at 70 percent usually and screen on around 600-700mah. No 5g enabled on wifi.

Same how are people's drain with the phone so low. I phone has similar deep sleep too. I don't get how people are getting 6-8 SOT. Even updating to the December didn't seem to help munch.

I use GSam Battery monitor to see which apps are high drainage, and then if necessary I kill those specific apps since they're probably stuck running in the background somehow.

6hrs SoT isn't much depending on how much battery you have. You have a pretty high drainage with the screen off of about 2% idle drain an hour. Ideally it should be about 0.5 - 0.7% hr. Anything higher will cause your battery to drop pretty fast, which is likely the result of some app or unoptimized battery usage in the background. I would do some digging to see what's causing this and it should improve your overall usage.

Question Massiv Battery Drain on Android 13

Hey Guys,
you have also a massiv battery drain on your Pixel Device?
I need to charge it twice a day since I updated to Android 13 ...
Do you think Google will fix it asap?

There are a ton of battery life threads in this section - more than one page of search results. I know battery life has been mentioned with regards to Android 13 in some threads in this section, although I'm not sure if it was in a battery-specific thread.
For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any difference on mine.

Have you checked to see in the battery usage what's using it

I had this problem before. The fix was completely wipe the device then install everything from scratch, not using restore service. Additionally, I putting background restriction on many battery hungry apps like Facebook, Messenger, Google Maps, etc... Also, I'm using Kirisakura kernel on top of battery restriction. My battery can last up to 22-23 hours.

hmmmm, thats a shame, because it is bad enough setting everything back up again after restoring it. But incredible the battery life you are getting.
My phone has Shamesung health app smashing battery, phone idle and and mobile network cosuming huge battery again

Try disabling the Physical Activity permission of the Samsung Health App, it might actually do wonders when it comes to battery life. While it wouldn't affect your watch, your device would no longer be able to count steps [for me, that was worth the trade-off].

the answer is bluetooth and wifi failure and trying to reconnect NONSTOP. after 4 factory resets my phone suddenly doesnt do it anymore and battery life is fine. came to this conclusion when i connected my galaxy watch to my phone and is disconnected every couple minutes. looking at the quick settings id see bluetooth looking like its resetting itself. i didnt check the crash log but at this point its kind of common sense what it was. after some research last night i saw i wasnt the only one. it actually was so bad that my phone died over night even tho it was 43% when i went to sleep

I had my first full day with A13 yesterday and it was hard not to notice how fast the battery was draining, I would have expected this to have been picked up during beta testing

Less than 24 hours since update and I noticed it too.
My Pixel 6 used to be awesome in terms of battery.
But today, after 9 hours it's 30%. It's been some heavy usage, but it should be 50% at least.
Edit: The second day things went back to normal. After 16 hours i'm still at 66%.

The battery drain is bad for the initial 3-4 charge cycles, then it goes back to what was "normal" on A12. Which sucks, since if you listen to YouTube (downloads only, screen off) and use Google Maps while snapping photos (20-30 and no video), the phone will die in less than 8 hours.
In other words, the phone is unfit for travel. Pitty, because the camera is great.
You would think that now that Google has better control over the hardware and complete control over the software (including services), plus a huge 5000mAh battery, the P6P would do far better.
Sure, it's better than my last Pixel, a 3XL, but that was so bad I swore off Pixels.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasts twice as long with a much smaller 4353mAh battery. Without having to turn off 5G or regular services. What a joke.

SITREP !
Bluetooth issue still ongoing and still causing the major battery drain. Has 0 to do with what this guy said ^ . Sometimes its OK but most times it just crashed and restarts.

I dont have any of those issues. I guess I got lucky.

43% and it died overnight? Dude that is insane. Even if it is Bluetooth/wifi keeping the phone from truly going into deep sleep, you wouldn't think that alone would be able to completely drain the battery to 0 over the course of what... 5 - 8 hours? (Unless your my ex, then it's more like 14 hours ). Have you pulled any logs or looked at the battery usage? I'd be hesitant to believe that there isn't more going on there contributing to the massive drain. Gotta love google... I remember the first talks of Android 13 was geared towards smarter battery usage. Go figure.

Today my phone has been (and is yet cause the battery is not charged) plugged to a google charger for 3 hours and half and the battery has charged from 40% to 82%
The phone had the screen off for 1 hour by this time. This was when the battery recovered 40%.
I tend to think that we've got, Houston, a big problem here...

No massive battery drain for me. 8.39%/hr active drain and .80%/hr idle drain on stock kernel. Active drain is a little higher than usual for me, probably because of rebooting many times doing stuffs.
Fast charging is also the same for me using an Anker Nano II 30W charger. No problems in that area.

I have no solution, but I can confirm this is an issue. I had no issue before the update lasting up to even 2 days with light use. Now, I even with battery saver turned on, it dies in about 6 hours in my pocket.
I just went on a trip to Toronto last week and it was terrible, had to keep my phone powered off in my pocket so I could still be sure to have enough battery to get an uber back to my airbnb.
So far today at work. I unplugged my phone at 730am to leave for work, it's 1105 and typing this out is the most I've used my phone. It is both warm to the touch and the battery is at 73%.no wait 72% it just went down...

Here are 2 examples showing the difference between before and after A13

Just when I was about to switch to my P6P, I'm reading all these problems with slow charging and mediocre battery life. I wonder how widespread they are?
I can't use a new phone that seems to have a worse battery life than my P4XL...
Not to mention the whole sideloading apk FC thing.

Guys, I am also having massive issues with my new Pixel 6 phone which is approx 10 days old only....
A12 was fine for the first days then I want to A13 and then all hell brooke lose The battery drain is awful and I am facing these problems :
- Phone idle is between 20-37% - even when phone is in flight mode for the night it consumes 20-30% instead of normal 1-2%
- Viber is draining battery with 20%+ consuming when its not really used shows usage of 20+ hours Never had such issue.
I am over now 4-5 recharge cycles and I have turned off adaptive almost anywhere... What to do?
Just pray and wait for Google to drop a fix/patch for A13 for our Pixel 6 ???

For those that upgraded from A12 to A13 and having the issue, have you wiped the phone (factory reset) and started fresh? I know it's a PITA getting everything setup again, but that's crazy. I was at 100 percent at 7 am, now 7 hours later, I am at 66 percent with pretty heavy usage... Generally YouTube constantly along with everything else I'm doing. By no means is my battery life amazing, but def comparable to A12 on my end.
