[Q] Real World Battery Life

Fellow MT4GS users,
How is your battery lasting you? I'm coming from a MT4G, even though I eventually modded it, and it I used to get at least a full day and have to charge that night at the worst unless I really heavily used it.
My MT4GS has been lasting me half a day or so before I get into the yellow/red and I'm usually charging before the sun goes down.
My main culprit according to the built in battery indicator is display at 65% (I'm on automatic brightness)
Just over 10 hours today for me before I had to charge.
ps- Anyone know how to remove the annoying low power notifications? I'm getting two pop ups in a row.

Yeah mine generally lasts about 14 hours at moderate usage, but it's only been 2 days, and I remember when I got the MyTouch 4G it died on me while I was still at work and then after a week or so it got much better...

Yeah, I can agree with you there I think my MT4G was a little wonky the first week or so. We'll see how it goes.

Only lasting 6 hours yesterday ....

My battery lasted about 33 hours. After the 1st full charge. So way better than my other phones have done. This wasnt heavy usage though. No videos or music just a few calls, lots of emails and some web browsing.
One problem I am having is low call volume. My videos and music are perfectly loud, just the call volume sucks.

Well make sure, your phones screen brightness is on low. Also make sure wifi,gps,bluetooth are off. Also make sure you kill some of the apps you ran on a task manager. just gotta find ways to keep the battery life up.

Well when I first got the phone, I didnt charge it until it was almost dead. Then fully charged it.
Also I turned off GPS, WiFi ect. I also use task manager to kill background programs that I don't need or want running.
We will see if the battery life goes down after a few weeks. Sometimes they take time to normalize.

Oh what task you ended and what task manger you used?

I appreciate the help but the logic is off. This is the latest ..and i stress smartttphone. It is supsupposed to be used as such. Bluetooth ..4g..music...video calling..maps..etc.. if u use of of these features six hours it will last. If you use them all try maybe 4 hours. Plus those boxes are annoying when the batterly is low. This phone has got to be rooted.

I'm gonna have to agree with that one, that's pretty much no different than saying buy a car but don't drive it so you can save gas lol

I have gotten to around 12 hours or more now. Still moderate overall but heavier browser usage.
I do not kill tasks or turn off wifi, gps or anything. My brightness is auto.
I uninstalled the recent maps update because I saw where G2 users seem to think the recent update is draining their battery so I wondered if it could maybe be causing issues here too.
Anyways my battery life has gotten into the acceptable range and that was all I really did other than have more days to monitor it.

Some technical specs on the battery:
Model: BG58100

This appears to be the same battery that is in the Sensation 4G according to Google.
For us this is good because Ebay and Amazon are already flooded with replacement batteries.
We need to find a higher capacity mAh battery but with the same size as to not make us have to get a replacement back. This shouldn't be that hard.
My old phone has a smaller battery with a higher mAh capacity so the battery in the myTouch 4G Slide is an utter disappointment. They could have easily produced a 3000 mAh battery for this beast of a phone.
Edit: Found a 1900 mAh battery for only 9.99.

Screen is on the least bright setting. I'm an ex blackberry user and dont even have one app. I could care less about apps. I'm charging every 5 hours and thats sometimes from just it sitting around/ not even using the phone. The thing better get it's act together. I'm starting to like the keyboard too but I'm up at 5am and if im charging at noon that's terrible. Especially with minimal use.

As I posted in my other thread, battery sucks on this phone. I had to keep wifi off all the day to keep it from dying by 6pm. Funny how 4g speed is so bad in nyc that wifi is the only other option to do something meaningful.

Weird I live in small city and 4G is crazy fast. When I get to a big city like Baltimore, Maryland the 4G was slow. My thoughts are there too many people on the 4G network. T-Mobile did promised us double the 4G speed and they need more Towers too.

For the first couple days, my battery life was awful. I'd be getting low-bat notifications when I got home from an 8-hour day at work.
But of course that's always the case with new phones that haven't even had the settings tweaked...
- Placed a Wifi toggle widget on the homepage and turn it off every day after leaving home for work in the morning.
- Ensured certain programs and updates were not running in the background automatically:
~ Turned off Autosync on accounts (manual only)
~ Turned off autoupdates for weather
~ No Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, unless turned on for a specific reason
~ Enabled power efficiency and power saver modes (30%)
~ Disabled Always-on data connection
~ Disabled auto-updates in various apps (Friendcaster, IM+ Pro, etc.)
- Turned the screen off when not in use
Today I'm at 40% after 14 hours of mixed use. I'd say that's DAMN good.
By the way, for those seeing the whole "Autosync off" thing and thinking that you can't do it, just do it. I don't get my work email or personal email on my phone unless I tell it to and it's utterly awesome. Less stress. Less looking at my phone constantly. It feels free and just plain great. And I used to be superconnected 24/7 syncing every 5 minutes (if push wasn't available).

***Post Your Battery Usage Here***

Post your real numbers of what you get chaps, it will be interesting to see what some get over others.
Over night Standby Loss=30%
Average day I get 12 hours before needing a charge.
I have

Over night Standby Loss= 0%, some other nights I get about 4% loss, I don't know why!
Average day I get 24 hours before needing a charge, or extra one half a day, depending on the use.
I have :
WIFI off, I turn it on when I need that and I do that a lot.
GPS off.
Auto Brightness.
Sync on.
Playing Cut the rope for a while.
Taking some 2D/3D videos and pictures.

Yehaww
I get about 7-8 hours but I'm ALWAYS on my phone. Always.... normal for me

I would say I get what I need.
I have the phone from 6:40am till 10pm with 20%-10% battery left.
My use is:
WIFI all the time.
3G (data transfer) off all the time.
GPS off.
Default Brightness.
Sync on.
Playing Angry Bird, Slice Fruit and a bit of Golf 3D and listening music while going and coming back from work (2hrs journey return).
And obviously making/receiving some phone calls.
Now, lately, I've been playing a LOT of Golf 3D (got really addicted ) so from my house to my work I've lost 30%-40% battery.
When I go to my break I play another 30 minutes and the battery is already on its 40%-30%.
So basically I have to charge it at work.
During the night the phone is ALWAYS charging so I don't know how much the phone would drain.

Wifi on
Data off most of the time
Sync on
No 3d
Average time 10-14 hrs
Very dissapointed...i have to carry charger everywhere...LG software is battery unoptimized
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk

Charged 24 hours ago, lost 4% overnight. Played about 30 minutes of Myth Defense, took 7 3D photo's, two calls and three text messages and have 68% left.
Wifi on
Sync on
3G/HSDPA on
GPS off
Wifi localization on
Brightness 55%
Phone is on v10D and rooted. Got a couple of background processes like WhatsApp and battery/time/weather widgets.
The first week it was pretty bad but now I'm quite content.
You have to take into consideration that the phone has a very large screen with dualcore processor. I think the largest capacity battery you can get for this phone without drastically enlarging the casing is about 1980mAh which will give you (just an estimation) about an hour more juice. If you want the phone to last two days on one charge with normal use it would've been twice as large and a lot heavier.

I don't understand how some can get such better battery life when they use the phone more than I do.
Is it the different launchers, what do people use.

What worrys me about that is that your Android System stat says that it is using 15% were as mine says it is using 53%. That just doesn't seem normal.

My Android System is using 33% and it is the one that uses most my battery.

Look at mine...most time screen off and just a litle wifi

Nice app man. Im gonna check that out. My experience of battery monitors has always been that they eat more battery than they help you conserve but that one looks interesting.
There are parts on that graph that say it is consuming absolutely no power at all. That seems off likes.

There's a difference between not wanting to be rude by questioning something or just stating something's impossible
Here ya go, after over 14 hours. The top one is RF2011 3D which I played about 5 minutes. Besides RF2011 I played just over half an hour of Wordfeud. The rest of the time the phone was in standby and as you see it still has about 70% charge. My Android System only used 3% in these 14 hours as you can see in my screenshot.

Battery life

I'm looking to get a thunderbolt today and was wondering how has every ones battery life been. I'm making the switch from a ip4. So I hope doing the right thing. iOS is just getting so stale I want something new. So has is your battery life once u rooted and on the stock battery.

Battery probably around same or slightly worse, but its 4g and 32 gig, its easily rooted, alot of different roms n looks, its really great, and ive only had 8 days. I am a advanced flasher also, done roms atleast 1000 times.

Thanks. If I can root n get at least 8 hours min. I'm fine. I'm just getting tired of the whole apple experience.

Thats easy, on most 2.1/3.0, aosp, overclocking not necessary, i can get 10-12 hours, n i dont care, i got 3 chargers. Its a good phone imo. U can run 3.5 with beats easy on this phone, but 2.1 with sound enhancer is just s good.

I can get around 7hrs on stock and about 16hrs on extended. Running ICS ROM
Luke

It depends on how u use it.
This is what I have left after few calls, browser, exchange+gmail+Facebook sync & 1 hr of Pandora
Only MIUI ROM so far I could achieve this. The other rom Ive tried is shiftao5p
Lastly if u are in 1-2 bars area, your battery will run out fast

I'm new to the Tbolt as well. Installed the extended battery first thing. As such, device easily lasts all day with heavy use. 40%+/- remains @ end of the day on cm7.
IDK about the battery life on other ROM, but that's what I get.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

I bought the rezound battery and noticed a pretty big difference. Also, I finally gave up sense roms and went with liquid smooth 3.2. Battery has been phenomenal. I can get through an entire day, even on 4G and moderate to heavy usage (screen on 4 hours) and not worry about battery until I'm in my bed messing around before I'm about to plug in and fall asleep.
Edit: here is me on wifi all day using up the battery with almost 4 hrs screen on time. On pure 3g 4G I'd be closer to 20-30 percent.

My GF has the extended battery and can go two days without charging (light use)

Loving the phone by by iPhone but anyway. Just rooted and messing around with these roms. Just don't know which one to stick with their are so many.

I'm on the stock rom and with light usage can easily get a full day out of a charge (I'm using the rezound battery now, but was similar with the stock battery). With very light usage, i can even make it overnight and through at least most of the next day on a full charge. Gaming, navigation, or a lot of downloading can run down the battery quickly. My so has an iphone4s and doesn't seem to get a ton better battery life.

Almost 5 hours of display on time. Mix in about 6 hours of sleeping but lots of Texting, rootz, xda, and Twitter. Imo kernel undervolted not overclocked, and 12 hours were in a bad signal area at my work in hospital I am talking -102 so battery could be better.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I get around 8-10 hours on fairly regular use and towards 12 when I use it lightly. The biggest difference maker for me was not JuiceDefender or any battery saver program like that. It was using SetCPU once I rooted my phone and setting a profile up so when my screen is off, the processor drops to the ~200 MHz range. Definitely a must-have program for anyone who is rooted.

i keep everything running at max and carry a second battery pack with me... ill just swap them and am back to 100%... 2 full loads bring me through the day usually.

I suggest you to check this post and these batteries. This will solve any power issues you might have with your Tbolt

The rezound batteries work in the bolt also.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk

root + SetCPU
Pretzel pretty much hit the nail on the head. Once I rooted the phone I froze all of the stock bloatware, then installed SetCPU. Like Pretzel said, make it so when phone is asleep it only runs @ ~200mhz. Also do small things like turn screen brightness down and make backlight timeout 15 seconds.
Also, I cannot stress this enough
Your battery life will drastically change depending on what apps you have installed. When I download a new app I try to limit it to one at a time and watch my phone for the next few hours and see if my battery is running out quicker than usual. This has happened so many times to me where I install something with a 80% battery and then like 4 hours later its dead.
So with just the stock Rom, rooted, bloatware frozen, SetCPU, and about 60 battery friendly apps, I can get usually around 20 hours with light to moderate use.

The biggest difference on battery drain is if you have LTE enabled. Just download LTE OnOff and only turn it on when needed.

Battery

What kind of use are people getting out of their OneS batteries?
I've had my phone for just under a week and have run it through 3 or 4 full charge/discharge cycles.
Phone is running stock firmware. Last charge lasted ~36 hours with the screen using the most power.
I'd be interested to know what other people are seeing?

I get around 18 - 24 hours battery, depending on how i use it...

Yup. Turn it off.

im have an imported international one s on att in nyc and i only get maybe 10-12 hours i use it fairly oftern but no videos or calls. i get no where near 24 or even 18 hours like i need.

12-20 hours.
That includes about 2 hours of off-screen streaming while commuting, 8-10 hours WiFi on, 2-4 hours games and surfing, 10-15 minutes calls and a dozen or so messages.
My last charge was at about 25% after 16 hours, and usage pattern as described. Screen is on auto brightness and consuming about 60%.

Anyone else? My battery life is exceptionally bad took the phone with me to the park 4hrs of listening to music with maybe an hours worth of web browsing and 30 of those minutes taking pictures the phone is dead

That doesn't strike me as exceptionally bad but rather merely less than average. An hour of web browsing is going to use a lot of battery in itself. Do you use the Beats enhancements too when listening to music? Bet that drains some battery.

its exceptionally bad in comparison to what everyone e else is reporting about this phone. and the battery is one of the reasons i chose this over the one x. my phone also keeps switching between h and 3g. im on ATT on an imported MAO

First charge and usage was; A few texts, 10-20 min of video, fair amount of browsing, installing lots of apps, tweaking and changing everything about, GPS, camera etc. and brightness was at 70-85% brightness for about 1-2 hours and dropped to 50% for the rest of the time, however, I didn't have my SIM in for the first hour of use (testing the mobile first to make sure it worked ok), wifi was on constantly as well.
Second charge and usage was; the same as above but a fair bit more browsing was done and a few games (angry birds and ROM emulators) and brightness was at 50% the entire time, plus this time the SIM was in for the entire time.

really good battery life, after a day of calls, bit of gaming, couple camera shots, with sync on, fb etc, battery is at 50% - 60% ,
I reckon i could get 2 days easy if i was economical, but 1 day easy with heavy use.

The screen will always have the highest usage so really battery stats are somewhat useless without sharing screen on time..

I highly, highly doubt that. Beats, correct me if I'm wrong, is just an "improvement" of the audio frequencies. An automagical DSP.

Without particularly trying to save power my battery is lasting 36 hours or so.
By far the biggest drain is the screen, currently at 65% of power drawn. Wifi is second with 7%. Considering that wifi has been on more or less constantly for the period this is pretty impressive.
I could probably push battery life to 2 days if I replaced live wallpaper with black background and reduced screen brightness generally. It's hard to know what else to do though.

There has to be some processing going on somewhere, that was my logic. Happy to stand corrected tho.

I got question regarding to battery and charging...
How it would affect battery, if I would charge it every day while driving 1h (it wont get fully charged if empty). Would it affect it badly in time?

i get about down to 30-35% at the end of the day with light web use, gmail, maybe a short phone call, and a bit of GPRS hunting when the signal is not that good. I just installed the power manager to see if there is any real use of it...

Mate...I've always disputed the battery andusic thing..your guaranteed to run out faster..I know it has that function and beats etc..but I pods or mp3 players do a much better job in every department and don't waste your phone battery. I'm getting a day and a half and I'm a fairly heavy user..I play the odd game. Text a lot to my wife lol..and surf the web. Its all about what your using...
One plus side..I use free beats earphones on my iPod and it sounds fing amazing.

Well, for the first days the battery life was great, going on almost a week and the battery life is bad, just as bad as other phones. The phone with regular use would by 9pm have aprox 40% left yesterday had 30% no today I am already getting a warning of low batt and use was normal...wow....this is not looking good

Just curious...what apps do you have under your "Accounts" area in Settings set to sync?
What apps do you have running persistently (check your notification drawer)?

my battery is low or around 30% at 12am when i sleeep sooooo

Out of habit I plugged mine in via PC USB for an hour (charging it an extra 50% from 8%) but according to my battery stats I'm rocking nearly two full days (1d 22h) from 100% with only an hour plugged in while gaming....with me being in an area with one bar to no signal for over 10 he's today. My GS2 couldn't do that .

Edit: oh, and I'm still at 42% typing this ;-)

hmm, rogue app that you installed??
mine has been great since day 1 with no hiccups. 15hrs or so with 3+ screen time yields me about 25% battery left at end of the day

Yeah, not really impressed with the battery life either, barely make it through the day with moderate use. Screen is a killer!

17h 30m with 52% capacity left after moderate use today (2 hours reading the news with various apps on LTE/4G and the rest of the day on WiFi, with maybe an hour browsing, updating apps and fiddling). CPU - 7.05% at 1.5 GHz, 4.85% at 1.13 GHz, 3.07% at 810 MHz, 80.64% at 384 MHz with the remainder of CPU usage scattered in between. Pretty good really - much better than my HTC Desire.

Use BetterBatteryStats and check for rogue apps sucking battery.
After that, if your phone still is dying incredibly quickly, just use the phone until it dies. Then boot into hboot (volume down and power button together, a white screen with blocky text and some androids on the bottom will show up), and keep that open until the phone shuts off again. Then do a full charge to 4.2v.

Try a number of battery saver apps / tips

I had a Desire, have a Xoom & now a X. Found with large screen devices you have to use those normal tips such as screen brightness, rougue app killing, sync for FB / mail. Rooted the HTC when first purchased with Leedroid to fix battery. Got 50% more from just that process. Didn't wait for the first OTA upgrade to fix that first horror release. Suggest:
a) batterysaver (or similar) on all devices - I reckon it gives a little %.
b) Turn off all apps not being used
c) Turn down screen
d) Turn off Bluetooth / GPS / etc when you don't need them
e) In car, at work, use charger
Gotta love smart phones. If you use it, you will lose it. (Battery that is).

- Root it and remove all the bloatware.
- Turn off auto brightness and set it at a fixed level (minimum is too dark, I have it set a little above minimum)
- Only enable wifi/gps when you need them
- If you need sync, turn down the syncing intervals
I get great battery life on this thing. There must be something you are doing. What do you mean by 'regular use'? Are you playing games for hours on end?

I seem to be having the same problem. Last screen shot I had I was at 37% with 16 hours. Now I'm sitting right now at 40% with 5 hours. Not sure what's sucking up all the juice. I don't have any sketchy apps installed. Might delete them one by one see how that goes because something is seriously draining the battery and I know it's not normal.

Turn off auto brightness if u have it on. My battery is amazing, even at full brightness, but auto is too agressive and drains more that it saves

Simple reboot seem to fix it.

my battery was horrible. In fact I went to take it back to att. He told me to try a complete factory reset and try it factory without any extra apps installed. So I did and my battery is sooo much better during my "test" before I couldn't get more then 9 hours with 3 hour screen time but now look at it. I'm guessing ny case it's an app like task killer or something I had on the phone killing the battery. Now to figure out what it was.

I just got over 36 hours on one charge and had 16% left. That was riding a motorcycle for 3 hours through the mountains where I know there is spotty coverage plus a 2 hour conference call on Friday.
One thing I've noticed, check your wireless settings and make sure Best Wi-Fi Performance is unchecked. I had that turned on and got about 9 hours on a charge. Turned it off and fantastic battery life.

Yea there are definitely some rogue apps that will kill your battery. Best bet install an app one at a time and see which one starts affecting battery life.

Are you guys rooted or flashed a different ruu? That would be nice to know, and how many emails, brightness etc. I've been on my phone for 2 hours or so of screen on time and its at 34%. My brightness is set at 20% and I turned gmail sync off. When I charged it to full this morning it was only at 4.177 is that normal? Some people mention that theirs is at 4.2.

i'm with you. I have seen some posts on here about 4.2 and noticed some say 4.3 should be achievable. Perhaps they are rounding up the 4.177 to get the 4.2? I, too, charge to exactly 4.177 in morning on full overnight charging. Actually, my device is 4.187 until i unplug, when it immediately drops to 77. That said, my battery life has been great in the 9 days since my initial day or two with the phone.
