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

I had froyo on my phone for about 3 hours and I lost 10%. I have any version of GB on my phone and I lost 10%/hour. So it's a huge jump ATM.

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.

Is 3G turned on? Cause I can barely get like 14 hours moderate usage with dim brightness :S
I noticed that with cell radio on I used 10% in 57 minutes and with it off I used 1% in 1.5 hours...

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.

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.

Are you like me with battery life?

I'm getting pretty good battery life on bean R2 (I easily average 20+hrs). But no matter which ROM I am on, no matter if I'm getting great or poor battery life, I always start to get on edge once I have dropped below 70%. I start to think, damn there goes battery today. I realize I still have 3/4 of my battery remaining but I just feel this anxiety that my phone is not near full charge.
I let it drain to empty a couple times a month but it becomes almost unbearable when I get down to the last 1/3 of my battery life.
Is it just me?

sounds like you need to turn off percentages. I had this problem until i turned it off. Now i have to go a few steps further to find out what it actually is and that makes me not care as much.

My battery life is HORRIBLE.

Have you tried using an app like GSam Battery Monitor?
I've been able to track down a few issues with that app, including one where I needed to wipe my cache to stop my internal sd card from being continuously scanned.

I always get over 2 hours of screen time over the course of a day. Currently using AOKP Jelly Bean, and it's still the same!

Don't drain your battery. People really need to stop thinking these are the old batteries of yesteryear. Draining your battery will cause it stress and lower it's overall life and charge over time. Draining your battery is causing exactly what you're trying to prevent. Best practice is to let it get to 15-20% and then charge.
On topic, I get anxiety about battery at around 70% too. Mostly because it seems to hit that point pretty fast, but then can last the rest of the day no problem.

Have fun with your new phone and keep a charger on stand by! If you use your phone medium to heavy use you should get to the end of your work day and you can charge it when you get home. Did you get your sd card issue resolved?

Ive found that having a spare battery always charged, along with the spare battery charger handy so I can charge a battery while using my phone, works great for my mental 'battery issues'!

On Synergy 1.3, I have AMAZING battery life! Can usually go 2 days between charges if I wanted to...Unplug the phone at 8am and at midnight, I'm rocking 50-60% still, depending on the day.
GSam Battery Monitor can help find apps that are abnormally draining the battery...But I've found that it too can cause the phone to get stuck in a wake lock...So I don't keep it installed, only use it if I have a weird battery drain issue.

I'm the same way, if not worse. I constantly look at power usage (in miliamps and %/hr). I should just remove all battery widgets and percentages, I almost always have enough battery, just paranoid.

That's weird how they do that.
My phone does the same exact thing with the big 4000+ Hyperion battery. It drops to 70% in what seems like no time at all, then three hours later it is still at 70%. The battery gauge obviously is not very accurate at all.
Right now, my phone has been on for just under 10 hours and says it is at 40%. if I just let it go (I charge it every night) it would run all night and still be at around 40% tomorrow morning.

I am the same way after just installing synergy 1.3 on saturday I have been constantly checking battery percentage. Anytime I change anything I get obsessed with it for a while.

This is what I like to see! Used to not be able to get close to 3 hours screen on.

Battery
I've read about the new batteries and not letting them completely discharge, instead recharging when it gets to 15% or so.My battery life was awful, if I was at 45% or less I needed to plug it in before going to bed. This was a daily thing, I charged my phone every night, Well I forgot the other night and woke up to a dead battery. I plugged the phone in and turned it on while charging. I charged it to 100%. This was 2 mornings ago (not been charged since) and I'm just now a 46% with normal usage (for me). I just thought this was interesting and wonder if anyone else has experienced this or can replicate it.

Battery Life
I'm getting smoking battery life, been tethering a good 2/3 hours and been on the phone and answering email add day and checking this site. I am on 1.5 Synengy, and using the Snapdragon CPU script that was posted in one of the forums. I can post the link as I don't have a large enough post count, however I would search the forum and find the mod and use it.
It's amazing, I'm at 51% battery and have not plugged in all day. I unplugged it at 7:30 am Arizona time and it's 4:30pm AZ time.
Try it, it' works.

Wow, your cell standby was eating you up. Hope you got that fixed.
As far as battery life, I feel mine is average to good. Cell standby and Android OS account for only 9% and 5% of my battery, the other 52% of it used up is screen.. so I think thats pretty good numbers to see.

[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.

That's sweet dude. I'm getting 3-4 hours screen time. But my idle is pretty good. Getting around a 30% drain every 8hrs with one of the hours screen on and another for phone calls. Then some various data usage. How do you get such good screen time? Mind if I ask you your load out?

Reviewers say its bad battery life, because stock kernel uses so much unecessary power. Flash a custom kernel and I reached 2.5 days with light - medium use (4 hrs sot).

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 5 hours of screen on time on my nexus 5(not rooted.) but the thing is,there is 3g or 4g here in my country(goddammit).so 2g drains very little battery.My brightness is is somewhere between 30-100% and wifi is usually on.all time.i use tasker to cut the brightness to zero when the sceen is off.

Yesterday I got 13 and a half hours out of 50% of my battery before I set it on the wireless charger.

Reviewers say its bad battery life, because stock kernel uses so much unecessary power. Flash a custom kernel and I reached 2.5 days with light - medium use (4 hrs sot).

I get 5+ hours SOT and 2+ days use with stock kernel just fine...

I've seen in other threads that people have proved that the battery can last longer than the s4.

I'm just about at 9 hours. Just casual browsing xda forums and 5-10 mins at a time.
1.5hrs screen time and only just dropped to 86% while writing this.

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.

Battery life is not a worry I get better time on this then any of my previous phones and have no worry's of it lasting through the day. Although I am a little jealous of my wife's insane battery life on her xperia z1.
