why does your battery stats screen look different?

Oh and if I use the phone with light browsing/videos/music it can go for 5 maybe 6 days with the Gingerbread update and Mugen 4500 mAh extended battery. I got 3 days and was still at 68%.

To be completely honest, my battery life hasn't been very good lately. I'll take it off the charger at about 7AM in the morning. It'll be about nearly dead (in the orange or red) at about 6-8PM. Before the update, i'd get a lot more life out of it honestly. Whether I was using it or not.

i'm at 78% after 17hrs right now. but i utilize wifi.

had exact same experience. I've decided it's because while I'm on wifi at work, it's not a strong signal so the phone keeps dis/reconnecting.
I'd say that I generally get around 20 hours with normal weekday usage.

I installed xboarders tweaked with LG cam and nothing else and would get about 10hrs out of the battery. Then I installed the nontweaked version with all bloat and stock camera and when I put it on my charger I was at 30hrs with 28% left.

If you wanna feel good about yourself dl ZDbox ... it always seems to exaggerate my battery life...lol
With heavy use I get about 8 hours.

All the roms in this world... wont save you from yourself"

Since I installed this plain rooted rom my battery has flatlined. All I have installed on it is Beautiful Widgets and enabled wifi calling.
has anyone ever seen anything like this? 15hrs and it was still at 76%.....

My battery was horrible until yesterday. CM7 build 97 helps my battery a lot and then I also use SetCPU with a screen off profile and an in-call profile. Those 2 things left my battery at 7% after exactly 24hours off the charger and light to moderate usage.
Screen off - 312/216
In Call - 1000/216 with priority slider set higher that screen off profile.
Credit goes to 'phburks' for the profile settings.

Dude you didnt even use the phone until the end where it dipped.

Yeah, isn't that what your looking for? I only want my battery to drop when in use. Every other rom I have tried the that slope has been at around a 45° angle.

8-9 hours
I've gotten better battery performance on Eagleblood 2.3.5 ver1.6
Overall, still sucks. I've not tested the battery because I accept that having android, I can't expect for more than a day's use. My nokia e72 has great battery performance.
I'll push to see how much I can get, but honestly, I accept it. I'm always near a charger so it doesn't matter. Spent most of my frustration on getting a working ROM with my phone.
Now I can tweak with battery performance. I don't expect anything more than 8 hours. I use my phone alot.

last full charge on my G2x with Faux's rom and UV kernal lasted me 55 hours with normal usage, H+ (3g+) most the time, the true 42mb 4g isnt out here yet

I got 12 hours today. Amazing.

30% left with moderate use.

Never more than a day

Battery now dying...

So I'm like wtf all of a sudden my battery is like at 40% by noon, and I recharge and it gets to the same within a couple of hours }
I don't get it not even a year yet
BTW I'm stock froyo/ rooted
Bad battery ? Any one else experience this? I have juice defender set CPU
Battery stats say main cause is "cell standby" any tricks to fix this?
No I'm not going to gb
meh...

Well, in the end, that's the best that froyo can do for the G2X...
I had Froyo and i pulled off 6hrs, when i got GB i was able to pull off 8, so yea, juice defender really wouldn't give you that much more battery life, the best shot is to upgrade the ROM.

i would consider updating it :/ i've never had froyo but since i've been using gb i get 15+ hours out of my phone and that's with heavy texting, internet browsing, some netflix watching and a little gaming. but cell standby seems to be my biggest problem too i wish i could fix that

Running froyo I was getting at least 14-16 hours.
Usually bad battery life can be accredited to less-than-optimal user settings, heavy device usage, or there's a rogue app that's sucking your battery down.

and as you can see i still have about half a battery left. the only precaution i really take is that my brightness is almost down to zero. and on my old phone it used to show in the battery settings if i used a certain application such as internet or ebuddy. i have no idea why it won't show those on this device so you can't see my heavy internet usage, gaming and some netflix watching.

and just for reference i'm running complete stock no root or anything. i'm now on one day and two hours worth of battery with 30% still left

Hey OP, can you post a list of your apps? Use listables. I want to compare it against mine. If there are any similar apps then I'm going to disable/uninstall mine and check battery life and report back.

Have you tried booting into recovery and erasing battery data? That greatly improved battery life on my Nexus S after it had undergone multiple ROM flashes.

The ROM you're using is a huge matter. With CM7, i couldn't go a day without charging. Now, with MIUI, I'm pretty sure I can get 3 days, with normal brightness, and my normal use, which is email and texting.

I'll try tonight! Just letting it fully charge, then wiping/calibrating!

I found that if I turn data off sync off the battery lasts over twice as long. I don't need it consistently on, so I turn it on when I'm not busy. Works for me

You know what I find weird. It doesn't matter if I turn data off or not cell standby will still use the same amount of battery and my battery still drains at the same rate.

I don't see you showing a better screenshot.

I have never been over 24 hours with my normal usage.With heavy usage it's maybe 18 or less hours.I really don't understand people say they have still %54 battery life after 30 hours since they unplug the battery.
Are you connecting continously on wifi/3g?
Are you getting gmail/facebook/twitter synch.about hourly?
Are you surfing on web min.1 hours in a day?
These are what i do with juice defender 15.minutes interval connection with not too much talk on phone.
If you do these and your battery goes 2 days,please tell me how to do.

For the most part, people don't use their phone. I don't have a picture of it, but yesterday I had 32% left when I started charging my phone, and it's up-time was 2 days and 2 hours. That was only possibly because my total screen on time was only 1.5 hours—in 2 days, remind you. I also disable Wifi, 3G, etc. when I'm not using it.

This is what i mean.We are not observing stand-by time.We should talk about our battery life according to our usage.

Different people use their phones for different things, and for a largely different amount of time each day. I find the most accurate representation of "daily usage" is to have the time since unplugged and the display on-time figures. Maybe the OP would consider adding a 2 picture requirement for this thread?

Also guys put into consideration extended batteries. I just put one in my evolution and omg incredible I've only lost 20% since 330pm and its now 950pm. running juice defender with tia 337 on evodeck 1.3d

So ok, my screenshot wasn't a typical day of use for me A normal day I would plug in the phone at the end of the day with roughly 25-30 percent left (so on average roughly 14 hours between time unplugged and plugged in). My screen shot was a weekend shot, when I don't use the phone much, as you can tell.
This shot is more typical of a normal day for me.
Miui rom, tiamat kernel, Oc'd 1.2ghz... this was taken a few months back.

I don't know anyone having an Android phone, and to have enough battery for more than 2 days. It's because of the touch screen and hardware, not the OS.

I agree. Its totally pointless having a single screen shot that shows a %.
I think we should ask each person to show the "on" time for the the top 2-3 % hoggers to see how much was actually "used".
This is especially helpful when it comes to the display.
For ex: My screen shot will also show display as 45-50% of the battery hog....BUT I only get 90 minutes of "on" time as opposed to 3-4 hours like many seem to get.
That's at the lowest brightness setting mind you
Also---what device are we using with which rom etc etc might be useful to know as well.

I think the kernel is the biggest indicator. When I run a rom on stock kernel (Sense 2.2 for example) on 1ghz I get about 50% less use (both standby and screen on time) than the same kernel but with overclock and undervolt. Undervolt kernels are really the best thing and I think the time that it takes to tune it to the lowest stable voltages for your specific phone really pay off.

i made a post few months back in the SGS2 forum showing nearly 2 days on battery stats with stock rom (i left my SGS2 at home and carried around my bb the whole weekend)

No, it's the OS. The OS requires insane hw to run smoothly, so you can't blame the hw makers.
On the other hand, I can easily get 2+ days with very light GPS usage, lots of Facebook and web, ton of SMS and Spotify streaming. Of course my OS had about 10 years to mature and doesn't insist on constantly being connected to the 'net. Oh, all this without any programs or custom ROMs or the undervolting nonsense.

[Q] average or bad battery life?

thinking about getting my battery swapped if VZW lets me (have had the phone since 7/10).. if not, then get a new one. but before i go into the store, i wanted to see if you guys think this is normal battery life from these screenshots. i have GPS off, Google location on, and only my Google account (Gmail, contacts, calendar) is in sync. i'm running a rooted stock rom (debloated VZW and Samsung apps by me).
in addition, the back of my phone gets really hot during regular data use (web, Facebook, Instagram, Engadget and Verge apps, ESPN, etc.. no games), to the point where it's uncomfortable to hold. i've heard that there might be a batch of bad batteries for the earlier shipments, so i was wondering if mine might be one of them. thanks for any input.

Do you have 4G on at all times? I think my battery might be pretty bad too...I've been losing 10% every hour, so my phone pretty much lasts only 10-12 hours. I'm impressed by your 1 day battery life. Even if I have wifi only on and turn 4g off, I still only get 10% every hour. I think something might be wrong with my battery...I've factory reset it many times before too, wiping cache, and dalviks, I'm now on the stripped rooted stock.

that's not bad battery life. Especially sense it looks like you are not in great coverage area.

After using the Chrome app for 30 minutes straight, my phone doesn't get noticeably hot. I've also used the Engadget, Verge, and Facebook apps for 10+ minutes in a row, and it doesn't get hot. The only time I have seen it get hot is playing games and charging. Even then, it's not bad.

I would say you have a gold battery lol, I rarely even get 18 hours on my batter even when 12 hours of that is just standby/listening to music.

haven't had a proper measurement of the temp, but it feels like it does reach the upper 90s, and that's with light web browsing, so that's what worried me.
it's just that i see people who claim "heavy use" and get 4+ hours of screen time, which i found hard to believe, if they really are pushing the phone a lot, so i just thought maybe something's up with mine. thanks for all the input so far.

Looking at your battery consumption log, I'd say your battery life is pretty great.
Seeing as how your cell standby is 50%, you're either using a lot of 4G or you're in a crappy signal area. Or both. Haha.
Even if you buy a new battery, chances are that you won't get better battery life. Just charge the phone overnight and unplug in the morning. As a general rule of thumb, if you can squeeze 16 hours of usage out of your phone, you're doing pretty great.

yup, that seems pretty darn good to me. I get about the same 4G coverage as you with Verizon in my home 2-3 bars max (-100 to -120dBm), and I get ~14 hours before my phone is about to die. I also think I just use my phone a lot more than you lol. You only had 2.45 min of on screen time in a little over 1 day. I usually have close to that in the 12-14 hour days with my phone.

Agree with last two post...what else are you looking for looks good....

Should I ask for a new battery? 3 hours 30 minutes 30 min screen time and down to 67% battery.

Horrible battery life

I just picked up my S3 on Friday and my battery life has been horrible. I haven't made it past 7pm yet without having to put it on the charger. I'm coming from an iTurd and would get through a whole day until bedtime with that.

Welcome to Android!
You're on a larger screen with LTE. That will make your battery go through a lot faster. You'll have to change your charging habits and turn off LTE when you don't need it and turning down the brightness on your screen as the day goes on.

Should get up to 24 hours on stock depending on usage. Make sure you are closing apps with back button and not home or they remain running in background.

Also check how often your apps sync data, I make Facebook and Twitter sync every 4 hours. By default they are set to hourly.

Okay guys, I'll follow the tips you've given. So keeping the screen to auto is not good enough? Do you guys keep the power saving option on? What does that actually do? I'm rooted and unlocked using Synergy rom too.

Battery life should increase over a few days. Your ROM needs a few days to settle in before you get maximum battery life. Also make sure you do not have any rogue apps causing Wakelocks. Many things come into play when it comes to battery life.

Battery life sounds great. You might be using the phone more since it's new to you and you are playing with it a lot more than typical daily use. I think as you settle into it you will see it last the full day for you. Screen time seems good, and that's really the most accurate test of battery life. This thing will last for days if you don't use the screen at all, so battery time can be misleading.

Hey man can you post a screenshot of your battery life so we can see what is using up your battery?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

You have to cycle your battery a few times. My battery life was awful at first, now I can go 25-30ish hours between charges.
At the moment I'm at 22 hours, 38 minutes and still have 67% left.
This is what I do/did:
Turned off auto sync, if I want to sync email or anything, I do it myself. I turned off haptic feedback, don't like it. Also, when I'm at home, I turn off mobile data, and just use my wi-fi. A few times a day I hold down the power button, and remove all open tasks. On S-Voice, I turned off the 'wake up command' or whatever, that can use battery for no reason, if you want to use S-Voice, how hard is it to tap the button twice... I also turned on the 'power save' not sure what it does, but obviously can't hurt.
My phone is totally stock. Hated the battery life at first, but now, it's awesome.
