anyone feel as if their battery life sucks? I do have 4g on at all times but I didnt think it would make that big of a difference in terms of battery life.
See my post here:

Try installing a monitoring app and see if your init process is hitting the CPU hard. I haven't heard from any other mt4g users with the same problem, but lots of.desirehd users have it.
I also have seen my suspend process eating 50%+ CPU when the phone is locked/screen off. Haven't found a fix for that yet though.
I'm getting a full 24 hours of heavy texting, moderate phone calls. Battery life is better than my magic... im having no issues.
Yes, I woke up this morning and my phone was already blinking and battery is on 8%. I left it overnight with more then 60%
A big problem also is that SetCpu cannot force the scale. If limit to 768 Mhz it still scale to 1024. So not I am sure that my ScreenOff profile with 245 Mhz DOESN'T WORK!
THAT'S SUX!!!

Weird I leave my phone at full overnight and its still at full when I wake up.
Try disabling the preflock that might help before I did that it wasnt scaling properly now afterwards it is.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have frozen a few apps and use advanced task killer every time i start up 9a lot of apps come on at start-up).
The result is pretty good battery life. I have only gone dead when I had a few apps (like GPS navigation) running in background and forgot about them.
I'm having 0 issues with my battery. It easily beats out the battery life on the Samsung Vibrant I had.
I'm having issues too. My battery life today was 40% at 1 PM, and when I left this morning, it was full. I hardly even used the phone except to check email :/ I have brightness on auto and wifi off. Not sure what the issue is.
My battery life has been really good. A typical cycle is charge to full and disconnect power at 10:00 pm. Up at 6:00 AM, battery is still on 100%. Today my use has been moderate to heavy. It's now 2:30 PM and I have 68% left. I typically have around 30 percent left when I put in back on the charger. I'm happy with that.
Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc., are kept off until I use them. I do however leave Background data and Auto-sync on all the time.
I turned on USB Debugging as recommended and my battery life is much better. Right now it hasn't been charged in 9 hours and is at 79%. I've downloaded 2 apps, updated 3 apps, sent multiple emails, light internet use, and 3-4 calls. I'm unrooted and don't use any task killers.

That's awesome. I'm going to turn on USB Debugging mode and see if I can squeeze a little more juice out of it.
I have had intermittent battery-drain issues too. On Saturday morning my battery went from 100 down to 76% in a matter of an hour or two with hardly any use. I did a restart and it seemed better. I've also gotten into the habit of restarting my phone once a day, right before I take it off the charger in the morning. I've turned off quick boot, which I read somewhere in the forums can affect battery life. It's been pretty good the last few days. I'm at 68% now off charger for 9.5 hrs with moderate amounts of wifi, web browsing, email, and 3G network usage. I'm new to android devices so I don't have much to compare that to, but it's working for my schedule.
heavy user - fully charged phone at 7am ... start using after 7:30am
check emails, fb, txt, barely to no calls.....phone will be down to about 20% at 1:30~2pm....
yes the battery is lame...but this is a known issue with HTC...the 3.8 screen drains a lot of battery also the constantly searching for HSPA+ and 3G...
I do notice when screen is off....this phone still drains battery !!! bad =(
left over night at about 65% left in the morning I got red blinking led saying phone is below 10% .... 50% gone!!!
I think restarting the phone after a full charge is a good idea....also maybe turn off quick boot?
*update* yes I found that when you have a bad signal and it's jumping between E and H ... this eats up battery
also installed Advance Task Killer (for froyo) this helps~ now from 8am my phone can last until about 4pm getting about 3~3.5hrs more life
Mine lasts all day with everything on, playing games, email, text, etc, etc.
It is great, best phone I have had. Not sure what the issue is unless it is root.
It depends where you live.
If you get a good antenna signal, your battery will last.
At my apartment signal is low, so phone is constantly between UMTS and GPRS, plus phone is trying to hold H, so that drains the battery.
My signal strength parameters:
between -101 dBm and -107 dBm (where -110dBm is the edge of the signal/loosing signal)
3 asu and 7 asu

Hey everyone, I am currently running rc33 jfreak 1.42 on my phone. I was running 5.0.1G and. When I was running that rom i t seemed like my battery life was longer. Now tfhat I'm back on jfreak my battery is draining faster. Has any one else seen improved battery life with the magic rom?
I recently switched from JF 1.42 RC33 to 5.0G and saw no noticeable battery life difference. I did however notice a very noticeable increase in browser speed, which was awesome.
Well today I'm on jfreak and my battery is constantly draining, the only reason I flashed back was to test the battery life
I would say that since I started using Haykuro's Magic builds, my battery life has definitely increased. However, I suspect that this is because the device now uses less charge when it is not actively being used (i.e. standby time is longer) - I'm not using it as my primary phone at the moment as I'm on vacation in the US and I've a prepaid Tracfone that serves for the most part.
A heavy user probably wouldn't notice much difference.
Regards,
Dave
My battery life was pretty bad with 5.01H I'm talking like 10% per 15 minutes of use.
My standby time was great on 5.02.h but I noticed it took longer to charge.
I think the H build drains faster than the G
It's the standby times which are greatly increased. For instance, I took my G1 off charge at 6:45am this morning, it just sat in my pocket until lunch break at 2pm and I was at 99% charge. Surfed for 30mins at lunch and it's at 92%. It then sat in my pocket until I checked it again at 5:30PM, where it was 90%. It's now almost 7PM and the battery is sitting at 88%.
5.0.1G. Standard battery, Wifi/GPS/BT off. 3g on. 20% screen. It still drains quite quickly when used, I think it's better but hard to say how much better.
When I had RC9 on there, even in standby it would drain quite quickly.
When i first flashed just 5.0 i charged it to 100% took it off the charger and fell asleep for 2 hours, when i woke up the battery percent was at 92% and i was using the sapphire radio
I agree.
I think google did a lot of battery optimization in standby mode with 1.5.
If I don't turn on my g1 all day, the battery life barely goes down at all.
Of course if you do use the g1, it still drains battery like before because there's not much you can do when you are using 3g, have the lcd turned on, and the cpu chugging along. They all use a lot of power.

Do you have any background processes like twitter, IM, etc? Those could be using up the battery even if you aren't actually doing anything with the phone.
The increase in my case is VERY noticable. At minimum a boost of 50% battery life.
yeah the battery life has increased
but ive only noticed it while using just one or two apps every couple of hours
my usual day includes texting alot
2 or 3 phone calls less than 4 min
fb app, twitter app, nba app, a game or two, and other stuff
my brightness is around 25 percent
and my 3g wifi gps auto sync is on all the time
it lasts longer than it used to
but the second i start surfing the web and reading forums or using greed to read a bunch of rss feeds the battery life drains amazingly fast
im on 5.0.1h
gonna give the g build a try and then check out 5.0.2h later this week

i was using gtalk on 5.0.1 and it didnt run my battery down. on 1.42 my battery dies very fast
definite battery increase i actually didnt have to charge my battery allllll day w? moderate use..
I believe the increase in battery life in standby is more due to everyone having to wipe their data and reinstall applications.
Previously you probably had a ton of applications, that start as services, and run ALL day in the background. Applications such as chomp, twitter, hello aim, even stuff like officedroid remain open in the background because they are registered as services. Eliminating a number of these programs due to wipe is probably the reason why the battery life has improved so much.
but i was still using programs i used before, i used all of them except task manager, droid sans, and chomp sms
i'm seeing alot better response from 5.0.1h build. The static rc33 was draining the battery. Actually that's how i got it for so cheap cause the person i bought it from hated that the battery died so quick. I use my phone constantly for work and when i got home tonight i was at half a battery.
I'm back to 1.42 also i flashed 5.0g first and didn't really pay attention to the battery use but did notice a very big increase in the speed (loads very fast) then flashed 5.o.1h and it was crazy how fast the battery was on e............ Im thinking bout flashing back to 5.0g just 4 the super quick speed !

Following on from this.... It's 24hrs since I last charged it and the battery is currently at 73%. Very light usage but shows the battery can last if needed.
Is anyone that is having battery issues running Adao Task Manager and Battery Status Pro?
I just factory reset my phone and I got 24hours of batter life. About 8 standby but a good deal of texting, web, some calls and some you tube.
I installed Task Manager and Batter Status Pro last night and my battery this morning went down 15% in about 1hr.
I uninstalled these today and will post again but has anyone else seen big battery drain from these apps or does anyone that is having issues running something similar?
I have been playing with the battery for about a week now.
For me this phone runs pretty good during stand-by. I would have about 2-3% drop for a whole night (7 to 8 hrs), with Google (push), Twitter and weather syncing.
The problem is when you use it, it drops like crazy. When I read news or surf the web, it would drop 1% every 1 or 2 min.
This morning I read an ebook, with black background for about 30 min, it dropped about 3%.
So basically i think the screen, data connection, and non-black background are the ones that kill the battery.
Yea, I agree, the S-AMOLED screen in this thing is an energy hog. OLED's are supposed to be more energy efficient than typical LCD's but I'm just not seeing it. Whenever I look at battery usage stats it shows the display at 70-75% of battery usage. Thats ridiculous. I have until the 18th, but I'm quickly leaning towards returning this and just getting an iphone4. This phone is becoming more and more disappointing the longer I have it.
This morning I have been uplugged 4.75hrs and used 16% no battery monitor and no app killer. Basically done the same things I did yesterday. Some Bebbled,texting, email, phone calls .
I will update tomorrow with total hours battery life for today. Would be happy if I can replicate the 24hours I got the day before installing those apps.
I got like 45 hours of battery with moderate usage during the two days. Seems fine to me, I occasionally used system panel to monitor if anything was using high and constant CPU
This is pretty typical of a 1ghz phone My nexus would last a day of heavy usage, 2 days if i use it lightly. We need to wait for undervolted kernels to be developed xD
Also, it really helps if you disable 3G when you don't use it. This allows me to get 3-4 days of light usage out of my nexus. I haven't played with the Captivate long enough to know how much of a difference this makes on this phone though
when you guys refer to "stand by", what exactly do you mean? Just screen off/phone idle? The battery usage on my phone when I use it seems to be OK even if not amazing, but it continues to sap life from the battery when I'm using it at an alarming rate.
Standby is when the phone is idle/screen off/locked.
The display is definitely power hungry. Using the Power Control widget that comes installed definitely has helped with battery life. It will let you toggle WiFi, BT, GPS, Data Sync, and Brightness (at 3 levels). When I'm not using anyone of those, I turn it off. When I'm indoors, I'll set the brightness to the lowest level. I'm usually at my desk when I'm streaming music, so I'll have it plugged in.

Actually they are more energy efficient on black screens, But screens with a lot of white in them suck battery bad.

This is true the white screens burn the battery etc. I just wanted to let everyone know what I did to make my battery last more that 24hrs.
First, read the Wiki guide and apply some of the battery saving tips.
Second, UNINSTALL a program called "gReader" created by noinnion. This program is a huge battery hog! At least it was for me.
Hope this helps.
Well I guess I am one of the "lucky ones" Im running a live wallpaper and have not run my battery down since the 1st day. Right now Im at 40% life and at 15 Hrs 30m since unplugged. This is with checking facebook, twitter, email, phone calls, internet browsing\video watching and following the steps for the GPS fix. The only thing I have done is install ATK on the phone, besides that its all stock.
One thing I know is a huge battery drain is Time without Service. Check that stat and see if you have anytime at all without service, if so, I am pointing to that as a major drain on the battery. I know currently I have 0% Time without signal, my fiancee however is usually in the 20+% range and her battery drains like many reports I have seen here (she has an EVO).....
Yesterday I only managed 16 hours. Web, Email, A bluetooth file transfer, short bit of gaming. I have about 5% of the cell standby time (26%) without signal. My girlfriend has the Aria which is running Android 2.1 also, has all sorts of widgets, haptic feedback on and can make it at least 24 hours. I get that it has a smaller screen but it is also an LCD. Shouldn't the Super Amoled be saving our battery some display consumption.
i get about 14 hours or so moderate usage and at the end of the day, i have about 35% left at night.
If you detail the "Display" usage in the battery usage details how many minutes has your screen been on? Mine says 1hour 2mins ...this is for 8 hours of running time. My display is using 50% of the battery (which is at 68% now).
W00t W00t today I have reached a new high 2 Days 6 hours and 29 minuts with 12% battery left.....
What I have found is keeping Wifi on while I am at work and home like almost doubled my battery life. Which is great that I can use Wifi all day and not drain the battery so fast like my Fuze. Right now been off charger since 7:30am and I have 84% left. Yesterday after 9 hours I was still over 50%. For me its better than any other smartphone I have owened.
I used manual brightness, (swipe notification bar), turn off GPS/BT. black wallpaper and set Wifi to never sleep. Also the power saving mode in settings is off for other reason and doesn't affect battery.
At 18% right now and it's been off the charger for about 30 hours. I noticed yesterday that while I was connected to wifi at home (with Y5 app), it was draining faster than when I was connected to 3g. Did some tested back and forth and JuicePlotter clearly had a noticeably steeper downward slope for when wifi was connected than when it was using 3g. Weird :\
I've been sitting at 69% battery for the past hour and 48 minutes.

I've been using the phone for about 18 hours, and I am at 45%, ill post some pictures in morning, going to bed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
it's been 1d, 10hr, 59min,
and I'm at 57%.
but of course very mild use:
about 30min of phone call,
25min of web browsing,
13min of XDA Prem
20min of music.
20min of clicking around randomly in the phone
I am a "minimist". I only run apps when I need them so I have pretty much nothing running in the background (except Google Voice). I don't even have a widget, only 1 screen of shortcuts. so put that into consideration before comparing your battery life to mine. I am just giving an insight about how I achieved mine.
Removed(deleted) all bloatwares (wifi calling, myaccount, lg.omadmclient)
Using Titanium Backup PRO, froze several apps (which I don't think matters, since I never see these apps running in the background anyways)
Using StartUp (the program), I disable A ****LOAD of things, so apps won't startup by itself due to whatever reason
did the HTC battery conditioning twice, then wiped battery stats
has a SetCPU screen off profile of 216/216.
no apps that sync at all (except Google Voice, which is constantly running)
default brightness
use ATK to kill tasks manually everytime I'm done using the phone, before I lock my screen (NO AUTOKILLING)
what I've come to realize is that no matter what u do, when you use the phone, the battery is going to drain. when my screen is off/idle, i lose almost no battery. For example, the day before yesterday, I lost 3% battery overnight (8 hours). Last night I lost 1% overnight (8 hours). But when I actually use the phone (screen on), i lose battery fast.
My battery life was awful the first few days but after uninstalling the capacitive buttons led notification app and calibrating my battery it got a lot better. It now lasts me the entire day with around 30% left when i plug it back in. I do turn off 4g when I'm at work and in a few of my classes because I dont get good reception.
The battery seems to last a really long time on idle but as soon as I play a game (guerilla bob thd) the battery drops about 10% in about 20mins (while im playing) and then goes back to about 5% an hour
Here's my battery life... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13438062&postcount=21
Haven't tried to stretch my battery past what I needed yet but I used it for 1 hour 2 minutes straight today and only lost 10% battery. No way thats happening on my old phone. Used to lose 1% every couple minutes the screen was on.
That's how much I'm losing.. the phone is pretty good when it's off.. when there's no network.. but I went from 65% to 45% in 1 hour, and that's just from texting, really not liking that.
Damn that sucks. I only lose 4-5% per hour of left idle. Something is prolly up with your phone.
You lose 4% - 5% when your idle? That's how much I lose when I'm idle, probably even less.
When I touch the phone, it starts to die really quickly
Dunno whats causing that. I drain pretty slow during actual usage. My screen brightness is usually 25-30 that prolly helps a lot.

Damn, same here man, what about GO SMS or Go launcher?
Does that kill battery?
I removed Go launcher, I really loved the look, but testing if that kills the battery?

I am on CatyROM 2.0
My battery stats are:
current battery is: 33%
11h 13m 28s on battery
Voice Calls: 31% --> Time on: 12m 40s
Cell stand by: 30% --> Time on: 11h 13m 28s
Display: 18% --> Time on: 11m 9s (My display is at around 25% - not on auto display)

Face book: 4% --> CPU usage: 55s, CPU foreground: 55s, stay awake: 5m 34s, GPS: 38s (2 hours after disconnecting the phone from charger, I signed out facebook, so these times are for first 2 hours only)
Android OS: 3% --> CPU usage: 2m 2s
These are my phone stats after I woke up today. As you can see I rarely used my phone after I disconnected my phone form charger. Is these stats or normal. Without using anything, my phone is dying in 15 hours. Is this expected?
My GPS, blue tooth and wifi are off. I am not at auto brightness, brightness is less than 30%.
My auto sync with Gmail is on.
My email app (yahoo) sync settings i changed to never. As per my knowledge, no other apps are running.
If is normal I will stop worrying about battery.. please advice...
Any one help me, whether these stats are normal or not?
15 hours is good. If you were on Froyo, I'd say that's phenomenal. GB definitely improved battery drain though.
The litmus test I use is if it lasts me all day without the need to charge, it's good enough.
Hope this helps.

I am on GB. and during this 11 hours, I rarely used the phone. once to check gmail, and once to logoff facebook, other than that, I didnt touched my phone. so my point is without using phone, 15 hours battery time is good?
Your cell standby % being so big indicates that, your phone is struggling to get service.
I am also on caty. If I leave my phone at 100% and fall asleep I will wake up 8 hours later and about 10% will drain.
In contrast, when I'm at work, I get no service. I work in a kitchen and the walls are pure steel. When I leave after a 12 hour shift my cell standby is ridiculous.

So you mean to say that, I dont have enough signal at home, and its keep on trying to get the signal, so thats why my battery is draining fast?
if so what should I do? like if i switch of 3G, it will stop searching for 3G signal, but still i can get the phone calls?
and how can I make sure that, i am having signal fluctuations at home?

Check something for me, click on cell standby next time and tell me how long it says under "time without signal". That should help narrow down the issue.
No matter what though your cell standby shouldn't be that big.
If you turn 3g off you should still be able to receive texts/calls.

Try advanced task manager. Works better if your in froyo or gingerbread. Anyway, I don't know if I need to do this or not but I will reset my battery stats every once in awhile to help with battery life.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Just thought I'd chime in here but, most task killers from the market are pretty pointless. They can actually make things worse especially if your constantly FCing apps. Android has a built in task killer which means your running two task killers if you have a third party one. If your rooted use Juice Defender for slight batt life gains.
Also the battery in our Infuses don't need to have battery stats reset, just pull your battery and reinsert.
People look for some kind of miracle app when in all reality, Android OS/devs already have optimized the system to be pretty conservative while also maintaining a stable system.
I got the issue..
Problem is with Microcell (ATT signal booster).
I dont know exactly whats the reason, but this is what I have done yesterday..
can some one confirm this, who has a Microcell or my microcell may be buggy..
yesterday I fully charged the phone, within 30 mins i lost 5% battery without much use..
Switched of my microcell..
My current battery is: 41%
and phone on battery is 15h 4m 34s..
voice calls 1h 10m 34s
display 1h 1m 1s
i am pretty satisfied..
I'm on CatyRom 2.0 also, I'm on 21 hrs at 37% battery. Light/medium use. What I've really found makes a difference is to turn location services and GPS off. I leave the Wifi on but it only turns on when the phone screen is on. (menu button>advanced in Wireless Settings). Before I was getting 40% drain overnight sometimes. Now about 5-8% overnight (6 hrs).
EDIT: And use the built-in task killer.

As you can see I rarely used my phone (16m in more than a day).
is these stats are fine, or still some thing eating my battery?
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am not too pleased about idle battery drain.
Overnight, about 8h it consumes about 3%-5%. Sometimes more than 10%, if the device doesn't go in deep sleep for whatever reason..
If commute, it takes more battery (maybe sensors, switch to mobile data, etc).
About 20% in 9hours. wifi most of the time with about 1h hour on mobile data. And movement in pocket about 20-30mins.
My experience with idle drain has been good overall. Getting around 0.5% per hr
My idle drain is horrendous. I'm getting around 20% drain over night (7h sleep) with nothing enabled but WiFi. And that's with Greenify. I'm thinking of rooting and flashing the EX Kernel, but wanted to wait for an obviously outstanding major update before doing so.

Android System, Phone Services + Google Services, but only if WiFi/data is on. If they are off the battery life is perfect.

Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

For me Chrome was a big culprit for battery drain. Try to delete the cache and the storage of the app. You can as well disable and it and re enable it. That should be enough. Anyway, Chrome is a battery hog. I am thinking about switching to Opera or Firefox. Any recommendation for browsers?
I use Firefox with the add-on 'Dark Background and Light Text'. I have it set to turn the background of all pages to true black.
2% over night (7 hours) pretty pleased. But it was even better on OP3 when the drain over night was 0-1%
I'm on RR with no GAPPS and lost about 1.5% in about 8.5hrs of not being used (sleep + getting ready in the AM)
I have TASKER, and have set airplane mode to come on 8pm - 3am.
Currently getting roughly 2-3% drain in that "airplane mode" time

What the? Do you have gestures enabled (eg: double tap to wake)?
In my opinion it consumes too much.. one time i got about 3% drain in about 8-9h idle with wifi on and no commute.
That's why i hate android idle drain. A never-ending issue.
SOT only 34 mins, 1h mobile data, the rest on wifi.
I've disabled gestures, location history, no google fit, etc etc
Not bad here. About .3% per hour overnight. So about 2% overnight. That's on 4G as I rarely ever have my phone on WiFi. I also have email at to push (2 accounts) and I usually turn off the sync stuff in my Google account. Things like app data, calendar, contacts and the rest. I just sync when I make changes like adding a contract I then toggle the contacts on then off kind of thing. No need to let it sync all day and night for nothing imo.
I just have that drain when location is set to "high accuracy". When its set to "battery saving" everthing seems fine.
I don't know what's wrong with my device/apps. Several times now i had a standby drain in around 7 hours of 30%+. I didn't plug my phone in overnight because of Dash charging, when I went to bed, the battery was at 37%. The next morning I overslept massively and completely missed my shift because my battery died over night. This is with airplane mode on during 75% of the night. The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

Yeah man you need to download accubattery or something to monitor the drain. That's ridiculous. And yeah I've been kinda confused about the stock battery stats as well. It seems to tell you nothing.
I have noticed a lot more battery drain since the 911 update a few days ago. I was getting 7ish sot now I'm under 5hrs. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed it though. It'll be fixed don't worry.

I had AccuBattery installed at first but it didn't give me any meaningful insights so I uninstalled it a few weeks later.
I normally only get around 3 hours of SOT, but I'm not into mobile gaming or YouTube so that is normal...
I notice significant drain in idle after the 4.5.6 update last week. Android system seems to be the culprit, but not sure what's process under this is actually causing the problem.
All radios on, and 2 mail accounts syncing.
