Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use
none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%
i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant
on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger
this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.
Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?
tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS
see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.
hope that helps
well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up
I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.
I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.
I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.

What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash

Hows the battery life you guys are experiencing with the mango update in general with and without battery saver mode on
is battery saver mode making a big difference?
im using battery saver for when the battery gets low and im noticing a bit of a stretch of extra battery life on my htc trophy (verizon)
when u turn battery saver mode on doesnt that disable notifications push and toast?
i know i havent tried the battery saver mode on the whole day to notice any difference just wanted to see if anybody else has yet and what kinda life are u getting on battery saver mode on all the time and when the battery gets low
well for the one day that I left my charger at home by accident when going to school I turned on battery saver mode and was able to make it through the entire day with my normal use habits with about 30% remaining once I got home. this was when I was on 7712 haven't done this on the official yet.
My 7720 experience was pretty horrid with battery life until I got the Samsung update on Tuesday. I went from barely making it 10-12 hours on a charge to 18-24 hours. I can get up to 1.5 hours with battery saver turned on.
For the first couple of days, I left my status set to "online" the entire day, and my battery barely lasted through the day (around 15 hours). Battery saver mode came on after about 13 hours, or it wouldn't have lasted.
Today I set myself to offline, and last time I checked it (after around 8 hours of normal use), it showed 80%. So it seems pretty clear to me that overall, Mango battery life is very good, but keeping yourself online is a killer.

Battery saver mode works pretty well for me... I love it... Thank god its inbuilt and I didn't had to download another one dollar application to do this thing.. Things like this should be inbuilt .. Also adding additional tile shortcuts of any kind we want..

Haven't tried it. Battery life went down noticeably but I have chargers everywhere. I stay online all day. If I wasn't online in message hub I'd be online in some other app so why not. On Android my gtalk is always on as well. Don't see this phone lasting a day for me with or without battery saver, lol.

I'm still debating about staying online all day. Most of the people I chat with on Facebook are online in the evening, but not so much during the day.
But I love the battery saver option. When I was online all day, and it did kick in toward the end of the day, I observed the battery usage drop to a mere trickle (it only lost around 1-2% per hour after that). So, without having to change anything, I can be assured that my phone will still be available in an emergency.
at full charge my venue pro shows me around 3 days and 18 or so hrs...with battery saver i get 3 more added...best part is i play music moderately, use the radio, wifi on all the time and at the days end it stil shows around 2 days and 12 hrs or so time left....is somthing wrong cos when i first bought the phone, 15 hours was the maximum i got for the phone.....
plug in charge usb messenging hub locks up
has anybody had this happen?
when your phone is in battery saver mode and you plug it in it becomes unresponsive and kind of locks up. messages and emails don't send or receive.
only way it ever happens for me:
if i was in a message and i plug into usb computer or wall outlet power the phone cant switch back from a message to the list of messages, i cant send the message that is typed, i cant type, and no messages are received (or show up after a reset) i can go back home but every time i try to do something it says loading and closeshas happened for a year now
Battery life for me in Mango and 8107 (or whatever the latest update is called) has been pretty awful. I recently did a hard reset.
Post hard reset, a full charge would say 1D 4hours or something
After a few weeks, a full charge now says 18 hours, but lasts considerably less.
By noon my phone is at 50%, if I don't charge it, it hits battery saver mode by the time I leave (6pm). That's with taking it off the charger at 7am, and barely using it. Pretty horrible.
I'm seriously considering a BlackBerry. WP is great and all, but it's just not built for business use. And I need a battery that can last more than 10 minutes.

Sounds like you have a bad battery. My titan is at about 72% after an 8 hour day with lots of email use and some browsing / texting through the day. (i check 7 email account and exchange and hotmail are both push) Currently at 10pm mine still says 52% and estimates 10 more hours use. Now if i were to play a game for an hour or more i'd probably kill it but for browsing and more business like use... it can't be beat. My old surround lasts about 16 hours with wifi on unless my wife games it to death.

Geez I wish.
Maybe it is time to switch it out. I've had it since Jan '11.
So ive been using my G3 for about 10 days now and have been getting pretty bad battery life at work with airplane mode on and only wifi and wanted to really test out the battery last night by leaving it unplugged overnight. I usually keep my phone plugged in overnight but since it was the weekend i was home on saturday and it was in the charger for basically the whole day i decided to test the battery. I unplugged the phone at around 2:50 and took the screenshots below at around 8. I lost 29% of my battery during that time and i was SHOCKED!!! my phone was on 4G however i have really good service where i live and was on 4-5 bars all night. the phone didn't have bluetooth, wifi, nfc... ect active. The phone was on 15% brightness (if that even matters since the screen was off all night). Before i took the screenshots i went into battery and saw that an app called "lyft" was said to use 70% so i uninstalled it before taking that screenshots. I really don't know what i should do because i am rooted and have already installed a tempered glass screen protector. Please help if possible!
Screenshots: http://imgur.com/j3kbWyJ ; http://imgur.com/EZekrFw
Edit: Its 9:37 now and around an hour and a half after i uninstalled lyft. I am now at 68% which is better than last night however still pretty bad considering i had a screen on time since last night of just 6 minutes and 29 seconds. Here are the screenshoot updates: http://imgur.com/azs4SWK ; http://imgur.com/DNZu8n9 ; http://imgur.com/qrz4nrx
Edit #2: Battery life continuing to drain fast i have 59% which means i have lost 9% in less than 2 hours of virtually no screen on time. I am very concerned and don't know what to do? If anyone has had this issue please let me know. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/8nOgVgj ; http://imgur.com/lSywjj4 ; http://imgur.com/KqGYAVK

Looks like wakelocks only. my G3 has a great standby time, overnight with WiFi on i lose 3% or so for 6hrs. SOT is not that good, but the phone Deep sleeps well.
Try removing unnecessary bloat.
My Moto 360 has been dying in about 4-6 hours the last 3-4 days. It appears to be around the time that recent update was pushed that rebooted my watch. Anyone else experince worse battery life since the update?
Mine has been slightly worse. I use to end the day with about 50% remaining.. Lately, it has been in the 30% range.
My battery was full when I left for work at 9:35am it is 1:33pm and it's at 22%...
I actually came to seek help for this same reason. Up til yesterday (maybe two days ago) my battery has been lasting roughly 16 hrs. Now I'm losing just over 10% per hour. Has anyone found a solution?
Add me to this list. Glad to know it's not just me, but it still sucks. Also noticing 8 - 10% drain per hour (per Wear Battery Stats). I've reset the watch, cleared out Play Services cache, uninstalled all other watchfaces, etc. Still the same drain, which seems to have started with the last update.
I know it makes a big difference regardless, but I turned off Bluetooth on my phone to see if the drain continued on my watch without it being connected. It stopped. In a hour I only lost about 3 percent. Could it be that after the update it is trying to sync too frequently or something to that effect?
I got the 5.0.1 update last night. I removed my watch from the charging dock this morning at 6 am and it is at 31% now at 1045 am. It is horrible. Wasn't this update supposed to be dramatically improving battery life instead of dramatically reducing it?
I had really good battery life before the update easily lasting through the day.
I hope there is a quick fix going to be issued shortly.
I hope the chaps at google are reading this thread.

So I had the same problem but I did a factory reset on the watch because someone in these forums told me to and now my battery life is pretty descent. About 12 - 16 hrs.
Can confirm, after updating to 5.0.1 battery life lasts like 2-3 hours... and its pretty laggy.
Motorola = fail !!!
I also have the same battery drain. After a 8 - 10 I use to have 60 - 50 %left now it is 10%. No new apps added. will try reset
Could it have something to do with the 1.0.5 Android Wear update? I was getting great battery life from 5am to 11pm, at around 30% left. Yesterday I was installing a new band and noticed it was at 15% around 6pm and then died about an hour after. Today I took it off the charger at around 5am and it's at 66% at 8:36am. This is ridiculous! I'm still on 4.4w.2 by the way.
Add me to this list, did the update this morning normally on about 60% now instead I'm on 11%.
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
So I don't know if something changed overnight, but I put my watch on a little over an hour ago and it's only loss 5%.
Update to my post from earlier. Was 66% at 8:36am and it just died at 10:30am. So, it's only been used for a little over 5 hours.
Are you guys using Facer by any chance? I ask cause I went from using Facer to using a stock face (Digital) and my battery life has improved drastically. I've now had my watch on for 2.5 hrs after a full charge and my battery is still at 91%.
I dont know if this will help or not......i also had the issue when i first updated the 360..........someone posted that a factory reset may work....
so i reset it....didn't quite help.....after 10 minutes or so...i noticed that the watch was quite hot...........i left it for about 10 extra mins and reboot the 360 again........after that....the battery life seems better......over the last 2 hours....i only lost about 7% of the battery......

I'm using Facer. I was just reading on Reddit that it could be because of the Facer update. Apparently the faces are using bits from 5.0. But, if you're on 4.4, the 5.0 faces cause the drain. Atleast that's what I was reading. I'm at work and don't have a charger. So, testing will have to be later.
I'm in the same boat EXCEPT I'm still on 4.4, not lollipop. However I do have the new version of wear.
Watchface gets HOT. I did a factory reset but battery life is dropping like a rock.
This happened to me once before, about 4 weeks ago. I solved it by doing a factory reset on my phone also.
are you guys all running battery wear status and other apps? i took my watch off at 8a this morning and at 12:35p i'm at 82%. i think that's probably higher than the normal 3.5% drain i'm used to seeing.
one thing I DID notice was that i ran the update with 100% and by the time i was done with shower, etc., it was already down to 87%, so i stuck it back on the charger.
Just an update. I went back to using a facer watch face. In 10 minutes my batter dropped 2%. Went back to stock face and a hour later it's only dropped 4%.
If I have had my Note 10+ on charge all night, as soon as I disconnect it from the charger the next morning the battery drops down to 98% within the first few minutes without me using it.
It seems to last ok the rest of the day as I have around 60% left after 4h sot. I know it's not a big deal but my Mate 20 Pro would sit on 100% for the first couple of hours. It's probably just psychological, but it feels like it lasts longer when it doesn't drop so quickly.
I guess my slight OCD isn't helping which is why I always turn off the battery % in the settings so I can't see what it is, but with the Note, even if you turn it off you still see it every time you pull down the notification panel.
The battery calibration is just a bit off. My recommendation would be to ignore it.
A factory reset should reset the battery statistics.
Battery seems pretty good so far.

That's Android 9. I'm guessing you haven't upgraded to Android 10 yet? Wonder how's the battery on that
My battery percentage is similar. By the time I get off the pot in the morning, it reads 98%, that's generally anywhere 2-15 minutes in my estimation.
Mine too, I consider it as normal, the rest of the batt lasts as expected
Same here. But rest of the day Usage and percentages are still pretty good.

to everybody with battery quick drop
this is normal because samsung implemented a new measure of battery security and not let the phone to mantain full charge for a long period of time ,
samsung staff tweeted this 3 months ago
