How long do most of you go on battery ??
My Fuze with NATF's ROM goes for 2 days easily with medium-heavy data use on a H connection with 15 min auto refresh of 2 email accounts and moderate GPS use with Google Maps.
That's incredible! My old Hermes (8525) didn't make it through the day some times with 1 hr auto email refresh!
Just another happy TP user.
Is TF3D enabled?
Yup - all fully functioning
Just an amazing device...(Or mine is freekishly good...which would be quite nifty)
same here.. it lasts a lot longer than my tilt with its Manilla2d
for me on heavy usage, probably 5 or so hours of internet, games, and calling, i last roughly 12 hours or less... maybe it's the phone adapting to the charge or maybe i screwed up something nasty when i did the original conditioning
My battery life is about the same as my Tilt was. I get about a day's worth of use out of the phone. I am pretty heavy email user (3 accounts, including MS Exchange) and texter. If I don't charge my phone when I go to bed, I'd get an hour or two into the next day and it'd be dead. I was hoping for a better battery life, but at least it's not any worse than the Tilt...
I'm lucky to get a whole day using an hour of wifi and an hour of gps along with about an hour of voice, some texts and some 3G browsing.
I have the touch pro and it lasts about 15 hours with moderate use. 10 calls, 20 text, auto receive email ever 2 hrs, 45 mins to an 1 hr web surfing.
Actually is probably closer to 12-14 hours with moderate use. 20 calls, 30 texts, 45mins to 1 hr of web surfing. auto email receive every 2 hrs.
I use 50 percent battery per day rarely more and i use all of its features thoroughly.
I've gotta say, the GSM version of the touch pro (fuze) has WAY better battery life than the sprint version! What a difference! Returned the sprint one!
would the posters mention how they charged their device upon receiving the unit? the posters with high battery life may be doing something we are not doing resulting in low life
I am around 12 hours during the week with emails calls blueooth active sync. Weekends I get 48 hours easy as.
It's hard to get the most acurate time during the week as I charge the phone over night and never know when it's fully charged and and if it stays fully charged or stops charging.
I'm also using NATF's 1.1 ROM and getting great usage, about 2 days of average use before getting to 20%.
But even before the new ROM the battery was way better than my TyTn. I wanted to run the battery from full charge to dead battery auto-off and I ended watching YouTube videos for about 3 hours straight (to keep the 3G going a full speed). I made it through one full MST3K movie and lots of youtube surfing before it finally died; I got better power usage than my laptop watching DVDs.
Overall I'm a moderate user, and if I forget to charge over night I'm good the next day but will get low batt messages that 2nd night.
Wow, I wonder if there is a quality variance on the batteries that are shipping with the units?
I'm running the stock AT&T ROM still, and will get a 30% drop in battery in 3 hours without even making a phone call. Battery life is worse than with my Tilt. I'm in area that has spotty 3G coverage - it could be some strange interaction while switching between 2G and 3G over and over.
Or maybe there is something NATF is doing in his ROM that is helping battery life?
I'm getting about 15-16 hours with heavy use. I like to text, average at least an hour websurfing on HSDPA, maybe half an hour on WiFi, maybe 2 hours talk time, two e-mail accounts on refresh, and add maybe half an hour to an hour of random organizer/tasks/random crap usage.
If I don't charge at night, I'm pretty much screwed for the next day.
ATT Fuze
ROMeOS 1.4
Batt lasts approx 10hrs. Seems like it could last weeks in standby mode...I'll hit power button on top and come back hours later to find same batt %. During heavy use I can watch the % drop like a lead foot on a V8 throttle.
-No auto sync of emails (I manually dl 4 to 5x's per day)
-Very little GPS use (avg 10mins per day)
-30 mins of phone calls
-40 texts
-1 to 2 hrs web surfing
When I bought the device the battery had approx 40% charge. I ran it down to 10%, then fully charged and ran it down again, then fully charged.
Might try NATF's rom to see if there's an improvement.

Same for me. I can pull it off a charge and 12 hours later it will be 55% with no useage? I am running standard softwae minus bloatware using the trick. Installed Advanced config, Total commander, AE buttons Plus.
I've got a 1.93 rom.use my phone for only calls/sms.with and without tweaks, the battery lasts 24 hours-nothing more-thinking of getting an extended battery
I think that besides the usage, the battery time might also depend on the radio version which control the way your device interact with the service network. There're several radio versions which from: HTC, service providers (At&t, T-mobile...) but it's all compatible with the device. Then would it be possible that we take a look on our radio version and vote on which is the best one for battery life but must adapt all other usages (GPS lock, good signal strength...)?
I will charge my cell in morning to 100%,but by 4pm it ll be less than 30% and also i wont be on call for more than 5mins on an average on a particular day.Usage will be just messages.my battery just drains off too fast..kindly suggest some solutions..
hi. look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500449
or i suggest you to change your radio version
hope it helps
Ya i have read bout this.
i have done the same settings as it was shown...its still not working..any other suggestions pls..
How old is your device?
If its more or less 1.5 to 2 years old, I think you need to change your battery (I had to).
1year old
Its one year old that's all..how much does original battery cost then?
in PL - 45 (1100 mVa) - less than 10 EUR, 2200 mVa ca 90 EUR - but You should find why battery is so fast discharged - my is 1.5 year old - and after 4 days is discharged - with no chance , after heavy use max 2 days - speking, wifi, bt
hello
i have NEW Galaxy tab 2 p3100 from about two weeks ago ..i want to ask about battery life
the battery work on half screen brightness with always wifi on with browsing internet ..the battery last about whole 8 hours ..
when i play big games the battery last whole 6 hours until be 5%
when i watch movies the battery stay whole 9 hours ..
is that normal for this tablet or should be more ??
because i hear that should battery last more than that ??
No thats perfect.. Im using GT-P3100 too and my battery life last for 6hours max *screen on*
today i give another try and the result is : with screen half brightness and browsing internet WIFI Constantly the battery last just 5 hours and 30 minutes !!!!
that really frustrating !!!
what you say about that ?!!
Btw with a custom rom like CM 10.1 your battery will least for a long time than the stock one..

Screen will always use the most battery, sounds normal. I know it sounds weird that it lasts longer browsing than with games, but remember: it is still a computer. When playing games, the CPU and GPU will often be at their max clocks! I found that this burns battery very fast. You can certainly underclock it for longer batt life, and this is often recommended anyways since it lowers heat and puts slightly less wear on the CPU.
I noticed that when I'm browsing, typing, wifi, facebook, photos, ect. that the CPU hardly goes above 600mhz! Good! Also remember that the tab2 has a dedicated GPU, so movies will use the GPU and actually use very little CPU (the battery killer). Watching a movie, the GPU is simply decoding a file and displaying an output... requires very little CPU. Playing a game though, requires the GPU and CPU to constantly decode and recode multiple files and display outputs, while processing inputs, and performing advanced math calculations.
You can compare this to another (older) device without a graphics processor, and you'll see that the CPU will be maxed out during a movie on those devices!
Use an app like SetCPU or No Frills CPU from the app store to underclock as you wish.

Oh, congrats on getting a great device! It has probably the best battery in the industry, at a whopping 4000 mah (milli amp hours). You'll notice most phones have about 1500 mah and tablets ranging anywhere in the 1700 to 3000 mah range. This is almost getting close to the 6000+ in laptop batteries lol! You cannot even find an extended battery for it. You could, if you're on the go alot, get one of those portable rechargable usb battery backups to plug into while you're out. It would fit in your pocket or backpack, but I think it wouldn't be worth it.

just turn on the power saver budy.. i charged my tab 2 till 99%. and then i turned on power saving.. it lasted for 22 hours .. i played temple run 2 for 1 hour 30 mins and also watched a movie (i guess ) .. but then i had college on that day .. so it wud be on standby for 2 hours from that 22 hours..
Dont find any prob so far..
i calculate it that every two hours of work with 50 % screen brightness the battery consume 30 % of battery life ! with ( 1 hour wifi on + 30 minutes play video + 30 play shadowgun game ) !
note : power save button is on
what do think ? is that normal or should be more ?
Please keep in mind, there are various factors that ultimately decide the battery life...its not easy to define a users habit/trend...different games use different level of CPU power, different video formats/resolution may also contribute; MP4 vs MKV/720 vs 1080...different operational temperature...application installed...application running in the background...update interval for email/news/weather etc...
I would typically say at least 5 hours of usage on the battery size of the Tab2 7.0 is to be expected...Ive clocked over 9 hours on video watching and as little as 6 hours when playing games among other activities...but I think 5 hours is reasonable...

Shadowgun is a relatively graphics intensive game...powersave might be on, but not active when engaged in high demanding tasks such as gaming...powersave is only more significant when device is idle, such as lower screen brightness, reduced or disabled email/news/weather etc updates...otherwise powersave isnt actually doing much while you are playing games...30% consumption = 2 hours...60% consumption = 4 hours...90% consumption = 6 hours + 10% remaining...sounds about right when you do the maths...looks about right!
Would you guys recommend the zerolemon battery? CAuse i really want better battery life cause with the s4's 1.9ghz quad and 1080p screen and it takes alot of battery.. so i want a much bigger and better one.

Seems to be popular on the forums. Whats eating up your battery? Have you rooted? Custom rom? Tried apps like greenify and ds battery saver? I can easily get two days out of my phone with 3-4 hours of screen on time on the mf9 stock rom rooted.
Don't really know what's eating it. Mostly cause when i use it for regular uses like apps, web surfing, setting exploring (got it yesterday) and gaming.
And i want a hellish better battery, but the thing im afraid of is the safety of it, can it easily damage the phone cause of hot summer days or cold winter days?
And i don't root since i have managed to brick 2 previous phones even though i want a clean simple google edition of the android 4.3, but then again i want a stable one with every function included and some of the including samsung apps like shealth for temp check and the watch app for tv remote controlling.
Get it now!
These are my results on the battery so far
Max Brightness & Gaming = 12 hours
Min Brightness & No gaming = 25 hours 16 min
*Results are On screen time*
The results below are the Samsung 2600Mah battery
Max brightness & gaming = 1-2 hours
Min Brightness and No gaming = 4-6 hours
*Results are On screen time*
Another good app to try out is battery doctor.
P.s. you need a couple battery cycles to get best performance from battery
I get around 12 to 16 hrs on stock battery. zerolemon should be here any day now

25 hours on min brightness ?
cool
Most off the time i have around 6-8 hours screentime and i only need to charge every 2 days.(no gaming, auto brightness -2, wifi, bt, gps, mobile,nfc, all on...)
i tried once not to touch the phone for a full day and i had 91% left at the end off the day with about 20 minutes off screentime
Got the battery about 2 weeks ago, still very happy with it, only thing that worked on my nerves so far is to put the phone in recovery mode after turning off the device, i usually end up removing the cover to make sure i touch the buttons
the only thing im afraid of is if a unoriginal battery can damage the phone or in worst case explode (as mentioned in the manual)
Warning for anyone
If you are thinking of buying the White version i would suggest not to because it absorbs color from basically anywhere it can, Mines yellowish..

i guess your right, i wanted to do some testing myself
from 100 to 50 % battery in a little more then 8 hours & 30 minutes with :
-> brightness at 100%, gps, wifi, mobile, bt, nfc, everything toggled to on
-> autosync 8 accounts from wich 3 are email accounts
-> 4 hours music with screen on and volume almost at maximum (done with battery test utility)
-> watch over 3 hours tv (streaming with wifi)
-> trip from 30 minutes with (Waze) navigation (forgot to turn it off in the background, turned it off after an hour i think)
= screentime 8 hours and 50% left
So max brightness probably gives (about) 16 hours off nonstop screentime based on my use.
After a couple off charging cycles with an app called android tuner, it tells me i can have over 14 days on standby, i wonder if this will be correct but i don't feel like testing that
Non-Stop

My battery test was done while playing Dead Trigger for 8 hours at a time and then letting the device cool down for around 30 mins and then playing it again for around 4 more hours (Dead trigger results )
Wow, i had just the battery doctor in the background and the battery fell from 94 to 79% overnight... darn theese quadcores theese days are hungry! Almost even worse than the HOX i used to have.. and with what this phone can it's almost like i want to keep the battery killer than going back to iphone 5 which never acted like such of a battery hog

Many people helped us to give specific informations about this battery. I got mine (7500mah) last week and I wanted to say THX and share my first-cycle-stats experiences.
Phoenix ROM with Ktoonez kernel
- Mainly 2G Data
- Flightmode at night for 5 hours
- Rebooted ~8 times for flashing stuff and doing a full Backup (~1 1/2 hours totally)
- Greenify and some security apps.
- 4 mail accounts, Whatsapp
- 30 mins of navigation
- Screen mainly on auto
- Bluetooth transfers, pictures, etc....
Max screen time could be 12 hours, because the battery resisted to die and stuck at 3% :silly:
Pro
- more easy holding smartphone now
- battery life
- soundoutput better when laying on the backside
- good grip, less slippery
- now also available in europe (amazon.co.uk)
- fair price
Cons
- a bit too thick
- signal problems from time to time esp. when holding in your hand on places with poor reception

I would definately recommend it. I was gna get that 7500 mah one .but it was out of stock at the time so I bought the hyperion 5200 and it works great it also came with the extnded battery cover with it , I have had nothing but a good experience with it. And it can last up to 3 to four days with ds battery saver and moderate use.

Just ordered mine yesterday, can't wait to get it. I always go to aosp Roms and then back to tw for the battery life so maybe this will change that lol I'm really excited cuz I had a QCell for my s3 and I know that did wonders for my battery life. Now if only we could get leankernel for the s4...:thumbup:

In regards to your cons, it's about 2 mm thicker than the 5200 extendeds out there. I think the bigger drawback is the weight.
I haven't noticed any signal problems myself, but I think you would be more sensitive to it if you already have signal problems. I don't live in threshold areas so I don't feel this drawback, but a lot of people have mentioned it.
Zerolemon 7500mah Battery Review
Hey, guys! I did a review on my Youtube channel of this battery. There's a link in my signature if you want to check it out Got some crazy battery life with it!
Woo got mine. First cycle 1day6hrs. Screen time 8 hrs. Runing goldeneye.
I got the 7500 as well. I've been using it for about 5 days now and the most i've gotten is 7 hours screen time. My main battery drainage is audio_out 2. I went from 96% to 30% in a day. I might've either gotten a defective battery or my usage is crazy. I still don't know what my audio_out2 is.
Hi.
I recently bought G3815 Express 2.
I would like to know from the users of this phone, if you are so kind, please tell me what is the usage of the battery in standby.
I have somewhere around 2-3 % per h ( hour ) during the night.
From the spec of the phone ( 480 h standby in 3G ) i deduce it should be around 0.2 %/h (= 100/480)
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I got 15-20% drain out of battery at night,i flashed it with a unbranded rom and the problem persists.I've started to hate this phone!
