battery life!!

i have learned that many rom characters show it will protect a high battery life， my usual battery life is 48h，is it normal！i'm using jvp rom right now，if u think your battery life is longer could u show me how to do ，i just use the rom with the screen on at most 5h one day

Its's a smart phone, if you get more than 24 hours from your battery be thankful, if not, carry a spare.

Well I disagree,
my phone has been 3 days, 22 hours 15 minutes on the same charge.
It depends on the rom you use, signal strength etc.
I would suggest you trying the Tweaky Final ROM (JVP).
Good luck!

I think the most important relationship about the battery life are
signal strength and monitor usage. If only standby in the good signal environment
more than 2 days is easy.

if you use mobile internet battery drops fast....uncheck that option when you are not using it....and you will get a better battery life

You not using your phone at all.

I really do not understand why people buying smartphone if they are not using it. In stand-by you can have just mobile phone. Smartphone is for using and using, not for stand-by unless you are very wealthy person and can afford to by a smartphone to keep it in stand-by. I am using momax 2700mAh battery and I never managed to get more then 24-35 hours of moderate usage. I never turn off GPS,BlueTooth,Wi-Fi,3G. Screen is on 100% brightness all the time(I payed money for SAMOLED and I want it to be sharp and bright). 1-2 hours of music through Bluetooth audio in my car, Internet, EBAY, YouTube, Facebook. 30-60 min of calls, several texts, gmail sync auto, weather sync every 2 hours and 20-30 min of ANGRY-BIRDS and something else.
I am glad that I can use it and not keep it in stand-by mode.

i m using galnet 2.2
with moderate usage and 2g only i barely can survive 24 hours
brightness is low, no sync
maybe my battery monitor pro is using too much battery?

is gingerbread life better than froyos?...

battery life depends many things like screen brightness, time of use, signal strength, 3G/2G, etc...
When i use the phone not to much and use it on 2G it goes about 3 days. But i have a game uses graphic power and cpu very much and battery drops about 3-4 hours game play time.
Dont worry about battery life so much. Its a smart phone and makes your life easy and fun. If every night you go home, and have a battery charger, just use it every night and have fun

i have got 4 days when using only as a phone and 12 hours when using as a smartphone

Good

I'm getting somwhere between 6 hours an 4 days
:silly:

I found that changing my modem on AOSP ROMs can affect battery life considerably. I tripled or quadrupled my battery life because it cut my several-hour-per-day RILJ wakelocks down to a few minutes per hour. Still not as efficient as a stock ROM, but going from three days of battery life to two for the latest and greatest features is worth it to me.

I'm using CM9 nightly 20120731 with very good battery life. Stock battery (1500mAh) with 3g on, sync on and screen brightness automatic, i can get over 24 hours. 1 day 9 hours 32 mins with same charge.

My battery life...on battery 3000 mAh....

[Q] What exactly IS good battery life?

So I understand battery life is dependent on several factors, but I'm looking for a general number of hours of what's considered "good" battery life for the Inspire. I have looked at a couple different threads around XDA in an attempt to tweak my battery life to the fullest, as a heavy user of text messaging and the occasional use of my data services, but they don't ever seem to give numbers. The following shows my battery life from about 8 this morning until about 4 PM:

}
So, I'd guess that I would roughly get about 10 hours from a full, overnight charge down to zero. This is using the CM7 Nightly posted here with radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M and the latest TalonACE kernel with the BFS scheduler. So, am I getting good battery life by the standards of my fellow Inspire 4G users? Keep in mind that I live in a bit of a small valley so reception is poor here until I walk up toward my university's campus. Please let me know if I forgot anything; this is not a request for help on tweaking my battery, just whether or not I should look into trying something else to improve it further or if I've hit about my max.

If you don't regularly use data, juice defender will help you alot.
But to answer your question, on average I can get about 20 hours of battery life with 2 - 3 of that being screen on time.

I do a good bit of texting as well, about 2 hours of web browsing/gaming/xda-ing, and I work in a metal shop so my phone is always searching for signal. I can make it through a 10 hour work day but have to charge as soon as I get home. While I'm sleeping it only drains about 1% per hour so if I didn't use my phone it would last much longer. I'm running rcmix3d v4.0 with killersloth script. I've personally come to the conclusion that our screens are battery hogs and there isn't much we can do about it. So yea, i'd say your drain is normal.

If you can make it from when you take it off the charger in the morning to plugging it back in at night without prohibiting your use than that's good battery life for the inspire. I think on average people get 4 min per 1% battery while screen is on. That is if you are being reasonable about brightness. I just use auto bright though and I can make it through the day no problem.

I know for me I get about 12 hours on a heavy usage day but when I use it only for messaging I would say about medium or light usage i get 24-26 hours of battery using CM7 Nightly's And this is with wifi connected 24/7

I have Rcmix Runny 3.3 on my Inspire, with the UV script. I'm a huge texter, and usually text consistently throughout the day. I unplug the phone about 7:45 am on my way to class, go through the day, occasionally connecting to wifi, and make about an hour phone call at night, and by 10 pm I've got anywhere in the 40-50% range of battery left

Seriously? How old is your battery? Also, how good is signal strength where you are? because at my house (small town in southern US), signal absolutely sucks and is switching networks constantly. I left my phone at home one day and after eight hours of screen off idle, the battery was at 68%. If I am in town at school with a three+ bar 3g signal, I can go eight hours at idle and still hav 94% left.

I get on average a battery life of 10 hours, but i'm constantly using my wifi. I do turn it off whenever i leave the house though so it's not constantly searching for a signal

I usually get at least 16 hours from a charge. 3-4 hours listening to music with bluetooth headphones. 2-3 hours screen on time. Phone calls, e-mail, occasional Pandora, etc. I am using Juice Defender ultimate, and have an Anker battery. And I'm on ARHD 6.3.1 with the recommended radio.

I feel that 10 hours is a good minimum benchmark for my phone. I have the screen brightness is set to auto and I get between 12-16 hours on a cheap 1800mAh battery with moderate use.

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...
Battery life is epic on this phone Ive yet to see someone complain about it

Mine was running nearly 48hours yesterday.
The Trick seems to be to deactivate the Option best WLAN Signal

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.

[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.

so you got 32 hours on your phone and you are wondering if that is bad?????
from what I understand, these phones tend to get warm after lots of screen on time. so I believe thats normal.
I would accept your great battery life and call it a night.

I get up to 8 hours with 4g on at all times with heavy use. Phone only gets warm when i got the charger in it

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.

[Q] Might be getting a N5! But the battery...

How is the battery life? From what I have seen its mixed some people are getting good and others are getting terrible. I normally use the screen in total maybe 3-4 hours a day and playing music from google play about an hour total so could I make it through a charge on that?

it will depend on the quality of your phone/data connection mostly, and how you set up your phone. i use purely lte, as i have a great lte connection, and see a minimum of 5-5.5 hours screen on time.

I've had a handful of Android devices and this is the best battery life I have ever experienced.
I've gotten over 5 hours SOT in one day of heavy use.
Over the last weekend, I went 2 days off the charger with 2.5 hours of SOT on LTE only and still had 35% battery remaining when I plugged in for a charge.
I'm running completely stock and rooted.

I get around 2-3 hours of screen time. If you don't mess with your phone and install custom kernels and undervolt and all that, I guess that's that you get. I would say battery is comparable to the iPhone 5s.
This is with sync off and location off btw.

I'm getting excellent battery life as well. On days of light usage I don't even need to plug it in when I go to bed, I just top it up while I get ready for work in the morning. On days when I use it heavily, I still have 30% or more left before putting it down for the night. Screen time varies from 2-5 hours, depending on what exactly I've been doing and how good my signal is. I have no issues at all with the battery performance, it's awesome.
Any bets on when dicecuber will appear in this thread to tell us how absolutely terrible the battery is?

Using Franco kernel, 4.5hrs SOT is a walk in the park. It's better than my SGS4 I came from.
