My battery life!

I'm having a great overall experience with the Inspire 4G w/ CM7. Just wanted to show you guys some screenshots of the battery life I'm getting so far. These shots I took after a day of heavy usage, including a few hours of net browsing, texting, and e-mails.

Hey try using juice defender or current widget to exceed your current battery life. Both control which apps that are eating up your battery. Kills the non needed ones.

i've seen all the complaints about battery life but i must say mine is more than adequate. maybe because for the first 4 days i had the phone, after charging it for 10+hrs, i ran the battery all the way to 0 (til it shutdown), recharged to full, then drained it again.
it was my old habit from my nokia days.

Yeah, to be honest, this is equal to or better than the battery life I was getting with my Captivate. I can tell you with an absolute certainty that the battery did have to "break in" for a short period, after installing CM7.

Its deff better than captivate, 99% due to the screen. I got over 5 hours screen on time in a 16 hour period the other day with my rom/kernel combo with screen brightness at about 40-50%. That's pretty damn good, way better than the captivate could ever get

On my LG Ally i was lucky to get 6-8 hours with just light use. With the Inspire on cm7 i have gotten around 20ish hours with moderate to high use.
I'm still shocked that i am able to get that much battery life. lol

I'm still breaking my Captivate records. I took my phone off the charger @ 7:00am on Wednesday the 20th. I'm now at 15%.

What roms are you guys running. Im on coredroid 5.4. I get about 20 h with moderate use. I consider it to be pretty good. But no way can I get over like 30 h. I don't like to use juice defender or setcpu. Don't feel like I should use apps that override android os. Especially GB is so will optimized and efficient.

I'm on CM7 and only wish I could get the battery you guys are talking about. I just went from 93% to 90% in a matter of minutes doing nothing on the phone. It was sitting on my desk!

Does your phone get lonely spending all that time lying silent longing for your swipe?

Not at all. It's my personal and work cell, so I talk, text, surf, and play games what I would consider a moderate amount. I don't use a large overclock. I use the smart ass governor on Leedroid's most recent rom, and my screen brightness at 1/3.
There are days that I can put it tonthe test, but my first charge got me 35 hours with 5 hours awake time.

That's it? I got this a while ago and that's before I did some optimizations... I'm going to see what it can pull this weekend before it hits the 15% warning.
Apparently I can't add images until I get some more posts.

16 hours?!!
I just got mine 3 days ago and was considering taking it back because the battery only lasts about 5 hours before needing a charge!

I have about 1.5-2 days using it quite heavy. Bluetooth and 3g on.

I cant go a whole day without charging. its worse that im on android revolution. I havent flashed the recommemded radio as im on Bell and am afraid of bricking my device.

I also use Android revolution and couldn't last one day (from 6:30-19:00). I had my WIFI on all day.
In the office we have WIFI and I think it drains the battery very quick.
When I turn the WIFI off at the office, now have 20% left at 23:00!

Yeah, my drainage is terrible. With heavy use, I can squeeze out around 5 to 6 hours with WIFI or 3G on. I've read that some people get upto 12+ hours with heavy use!

For everyone who is going "OMG battery life sucks on the sensation" but before you go exchange phone, I will tell you that I was like that too.
Coming for the MyTouch 4G with Virtuous Unity to the Sensation 4G, I went from 24+ (of medium to heavy usage) to 5 hours (with light texting and BT, WIFI, mobile network, etc all OFF). Not realizing this before I rooted and unlocked the phone (I did it the night I got home), so I couldn't exchange it. I decided to tough it out b/c other that this it was a great phone.
Conclusion: The battery life of the Sensation DOES GET BETTER over time. I know this is counter-intuitive but it is very true with this phone. My recommendation is cycle the battery (100% to 0% to 100%, etc) a lot. In my past experience is only takes 3-5 cycles for the battery stats to do its thing but with the Sensation, it took more or less about 2 weeks to break the 12 hour mark (which is about 20-30 cycles).
Currently I get about 18+ hours (moderate to heavy usage).
Unplug at 8am when I wake up, about 6-7 hours of music/podcasts while I'm at work with light web browser (2G b/c that's all i get in the office) and light texting, wifi on 6-8 hours, BT ~30mins (in car), 2-3 hours call
on InsertCoin 4.4.8 ICS 4.0.3

[Q] I9003 battery???

Battery sucks!!!!!!
Mine battery just last for 7 to 8 hrs.......
I m facing a new problem-
When the battery shows its 15% left......i make the screen off.....then after 10 to 15 min,i check the battery it shows 20%........

you better give it to samsung service center and ask them to replace it....
battery has 6 months warranty

If you have your phone rooted you can try to callibrate your battery.
I have used an app for this, but i think also CWM can also wipe your batterystats:

How come our battery sucks? 1600mAh?! Higher than i9000 with 1500mAh..perhaps u use it like a psp..it usually lasts 8 hrs if you always play games on it (like finishing a game pack of angry birds). I have tried that.. When u use it casually it can last a day and a half..

this. plus, haven't you read about other custom ROMs, like cranium, boosting average use from 1 day to more like 3 days?

Thanx guys....
Thnx guys for ur suggestions........and replies

Dude, the first month is a pain in the ass.. Battery lasts only around 8 hrs without any hard core use.. Give it a month.. Regular charge discharge cycles ( as much as u can help it. ;-) ).. After d first mnth u can get d maximum battery life..
I now get around 1 day 15 hrs with moderate use - 6 hrs of wifi, 30 minutes of music, 30 minutes games, 30 minutes of calls, lotsa msging..
15 hrs if gprs is on all day..

I still have 39% battery after two days! This is really amazing I think. Granted I only had 2 phone calls in that time but I have been texting a lot and playing around with settings.
How long does your battery last and do you have any tips on improving battery life?
I am running CM7.1 with Go Launcher Ex and have the brightness set on very low plus I don't use screen orientation switch either.

What is your screen on time?

I use matr1x kernel wich has the best batterylife for me, but i still have to recharge every day...
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App

I run it completely stock and unrooted, and get about a day with average use. By far the best smart phone I have owned.

Matrix or Trinity seem to give the best battery life.

Sorry I don't know how to find screen on time.
I put my phone on charge after 2 days 22 hours and it was still on 19% but I charged it to be safe because I am expecting a very important phone call.

Calculating data regarding battery stats using morfic TEUV-S22-05102011, you could reach around 80 hours with cell connected but having very little activity.

Same place as that pic but click on display that will have shown display on time

How did u do the screen shot unrooted?
That's still impressive battery life.

For the people on matrix or trinity kernel, how long is your battery lasting you off charger? And how heavy of a user are you? Just curious been messing around trying to get it over a day :/

Battery life thread for Galaxy S4 (All models). Upload yours now!

I have a Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S currently running Official 4.4.2 and only gets 3:30 mins of screen time on my phone. I lose around a percent of battery life every two hours. This is really terrible for me as it is very low compared to other S4 models considering I have the Snapdragon 800 processor, so it's supposed to have more efficient battery life, please post screen shots of your battery usage and screen time as well and the firmware you are currently running. Please indicate the specific model of your S4. Thanks!

Please post your updates, I'll be adding my screenshots soon.

Here are my screenies:

See the thread in my signature about battery life. See if any of those tips help you improve your battery life.

There is nothing wrong with your screen on time. 3h30m is normal. And losing 1% every 2h? Come on that's really good. That's like 8,3 days standby time.....

Thanks for the post, sir. What's your screen time and what model do you have. i'ma. Bit disappointed because in gsmarena's review, it says S4 is supposed to have 10 hrs of battery life while browsing the internet. And i'm only reaching about 30% of it!

I have an i9505. 10 hours browsing is impossible to achieve. Maybe they mean browsing with your screen off
