Hello I am new to this forum, I just got the Samsung galaxy s 4g this Wednesday and I was wondering if anyone else was having battery issues. Right now I have my phone set to minimum brightness, auto sync off, black bckground and juice defender on. So I don't understand why am I getting only about 3 hours of battery life when all I'm doing most of the time is surfing the web(this forum) and facebook. I even get better battery life from my dads vibrant which is completely stock, has auto sync on, no juice defender, and screen brightness set to 50%. From reading the stats of both phones, the vibrant 4g is supposed to have a slightly better battery. I also don't understand why if the screen is at the minimum it still takes up 94% of the battery whereas on my dads vibrant 50% screen brightness takes up 30%. Is there anything I can do? Will wiping the battery stats help? If so how do I do that from a stock unrooted vibrant?

Check your notifications settings. I know that Samsung's contacts integration with social networks takes a big toll on the battery, hence why I've disabled it. Also, disable T-Mobile's Contact Backup Sync, just use Google's contacts integration.
Thanks for helping, but yeah I have those disabled already.

No, I charged mine this morning at 630AM, and I have been playing with it all day. It is currently 610PM, and I am at 60% still. Seems pretty good to me.

Wow thats much better than what I have been getting, have you changed any settings that might have increased the battery life for your phone?

Does the trick to fully discharge and recharge 3 times work with these batteries? According the the Li-on technology this is not supposed to be necessary but I've heard stories in the forums of folks getting great battery life on other phones after doing this. Many people also say their batteries work a lot better after a week of use (supposedly after "training" them as well.)
I believe the G2 is clocked down for this reason. You could try CPU-set app, clocking down to 500-800mhz when not gaming.
Anyone tried these tricks?

Will ill try to cycle charge the vibrant and use it for a week, and ill try out cpu set. if this doesn't improve I'm definitely returning this phone. I had soo much expectation for this because I have seen people getting up to 24 hours. I can't even get halfway through the day barely using the phone.

I got my replacement 4g today. Hopefully ill have better results. I have a question for those of you that are getting really good battery life, are you running juice defender or something similar in the background? Maybe that's a factor in why I've been getting terrible battery.

Im having the same issue with battery life.. for me its a deal breaker.. I use my phone pretty heavily for keeping up with email and a little web browsing as well as talking quite a bit.. My iPhone 3Gs lasted me all day of heavy use and with the SGS4G I have to charge the damn thing at least once a day with light usage and if I have to be on the phone a lot then its twice a day.. Not acceptable at all...
Thats with wifi and gps disabled..
On the 3Gs I had wifi, bluetooth and the gps running all the damn time...
Took my phone off charge at 6:30 this morning haven't put it on charge yet at 88% never had this much juice with the nexus one.

I'm not having any issues with battery life or heating. I use wifi teather most of the day and I'm getting to use it all day without issue. I did cycle my battery 4 times already just in case it matters. FYI
The batteries that our phone uses DOES NOT require u to cycle the battery. In fact, doing so will harm your battery. To avoid damage to your battery always charge ur phone when u r at <15% battery level. Trust me I thought the same until I did the research. I will post more info when I get on my PC later.

I just bought a Galaxy S 4G on wednesday. First android device coming from iphone 3G. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to preserve the battery life.
I took it off the charger at 6:30am and the battery was at about 2% at 8:30pm.
I haven't rooted the phone yet to remove some of the bloatware that comes pre-installed.
I've got email accounts synching, brightness set at about 10% w/ a static wallpaper. Played about an hour of angrybirds throughout the day and didn't really do any web browsing with a few phones calls. I mean 14 hours is decent but from what I've read there are plenty of people getting a full day of use and still have 50% battery left.
I guess once the battery fully charges I'll put inception on, turn off syncing and try a few other things.
So I guess I said all that to say this, my battery life isn't great but it's not downright horrible either. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
And yes I'll continue browsing all the forums to see what else I can find.
Edit:
Played through half of Inception in airplane mode, brightness at minimum. I dropped from 93% to 80% in an hour and a half. Not too shabby.
Also created a shortcut to toggle between 4G modes and Edge. I know 4G is going to be a pretty big drain so I'll see how much that helps.
I'll keep tweaking it.
this is completely true and if you read the manual on page 13- h t t p:// downloadcenter . samsung . com/content/UM/201102/20110224044646930/T959_Galaxy_S_4G_English_User_Manual.pdf it says that
"• Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging
your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery."
right now my phone is at 23% battery level with up time of 46:46:40 hrs/mins/secs. with skype calling (around 10 minutes), text messaging, browsing the net (for around 5 minutes about 6 times a day), and talking on the phone (around 15 minutes)
the settings i did:
1. took a picture with my finger blocking the camera to get pitch black picture and set that as my background and deleted all the shortcut icons (i short, i only have a blank screen with the only 4 icons down below)
2. changed the brightness settings to 2 clicks to the right from 0% brightness (or you can lower your brightness all the way down during the night, and 2 clicks away during the day, this will save you more)
3. disabled haptic feedbacks and audible touchtones, selections, and screen lock sounds
4. disabled animations
5. disabled background data and syncing when not in use
6. disabled packet data (3g), wifi, and gps when not in use
the last two are the biggest settings that made my battery last longer.
7. i only charge my phone when it gets to 20% and the manual recommends not to use the phone while charging
i hope this helps.
and yes it is recommended to charge your battery to 100% before you turn on your phone for the first time and this is also stated on the manual.
one more thing, don't forget to set your browser's brightness setting as well

Guys, how's the battery life on this phone? From having it only one day, I'm not too impressed. With the screen on auto bright at its lowest setting, I'm losing 5-7 percent every 10 minutes just browsing the net or using the xda app. Is this normal?

I'm getting 13-15 hours on a charge with 2.5-3 hours of phone calls and at least 2 hours screen on time. When I'm not using my phone I'm losing about 3% per hour (connected to wifi). I have facebook syncing and push email going also. Overall I am liking the battery life.

Go into the task manager and close all running apps. Also try bump charging. I'll find the link for the thread about it
bump charging is only going to buy you that last 5% or so. that's great if you need an extra 20 - 40 min, but in reality, if battery life is "short" even an extra hour won't save you because when people cry about long vs short battery, it's something like 2 days of charge vs 1 day....

Hi,
Any new battery will take at least couple of complete charge cycles to reach their optimum capacity. Also the phone needs few charges to build up the battery stats to report it correctly.
Just use it for a week and the battery life should improve. You can also fully charge the phone than discharge it in one go, wait for few hrs and charge up again.
Has anyone as having the phone for over a year as I , ever noticed the battery life starting to die really fast? Yesterda it died in 3 n a half hours.... and when I go out its dropsto 80 from 100 in about an hour

Batteries tend to do so, especially if you are constantly playing music or videos and even games without having them connected to a power source. The constant draining of a battery can do a number on them.
Oooooor if you are on the newest rage 3.6 rom, it eats battery like a mofo.
-he max voltage was 4.2 nows its 4.058
So 3.6 rage makes it last longer?

On R.a.g.e. 3.6, my battery last 4.5-5 hours under heavy usage. I use setcpu to edit max to 1.0ghz and min. to 612mhz on demand. It makes me get up to 8hrs. Max of heavy use.

mine lasts me all day :/ idk whats up with yall and 4 hour battery life? thats insane!! I've been at work and had my battery at like 80% and started streaming radio on it for about 4 hours and ended up having like 30% after that 4 hours... I'm on Reactive's ROM. I wouldn't be able to have a phone that lasts only 4 hours because i'm constantly on the move and have no time to charge it.
The only time i've had such short battery life is when my battery had fried and i needed a new one. But this was on my Nokia 5530. I've had the sidekick since it first came out btw and no issues. Try recalibrating the battery though... maybe that'll help

Ymmv, just installed back to basics, lasted all day with it heavy usage too. I mean youtube, music, twitter, texting and a few calls. I can definitely say it is not my battery.
I'm with eurohomie... I just installed RAGE3.6 yesterday. Battery was at 22% when flashed. After configuring everything, battery was down to 1% when I plugged it in. Then I charged it overnight. I did not clear battery stats or anything.
It has been unplugged for 14h41m18s now, and currently still has 71% left!!! I didn't use it that much today, but WiFi has been on the whole time, used about an hour talk-time, and used about 2 more hours reading internet news. It says WiFi used 30%, Display used 33%, Standby 18%, Voice Calls 10%, Idle 9%.
This is exceptional, however, with any ROM I always get about 20-hours of heavy use or 35-hours light use. Even with GPS navigating or playing 720p movies, it lasts over 4 hours strait.
I would like to use rage but all the darn time my apn doesn't work and idk how to modify the apn

Is this from constant use? Or just checking it for texts every now and then. Because my sidekick is exactly like that, but its usally around when I flashed a new rom, so I just use battery calibration and that sets me off right.

I can't answer for him, but it is for me. In the first 30% of the battery dies really fast. The rest goes a bit slower.I'd drop from 100 to 80% battery from just watching a few videos online on netflix, under 45 minutes. After that my phone runs sluggish around 60% as if it was limiting how much cpu power it is using. I can compare the performance to my old g1 when its running at 60% battery. Constant use on that rom will only get me 8hrs total, 10hrs at the most on standby.
Just flashed back to basics to act as a control, battery drain is less than rage.

I can definately understand what you are saying. I can relate to that also. With my sidekick it is usally around 50-60% that I start getting the most force close errors, and freezing, and if im listening to music, and start browsing the web, I can most certainly know that if I go to a heavy website then it will freeze the UI and music will keep playing. But, if I pull out my beats cord, then give it a minute (sometimes I just have to hold down pwr) the launcher will reboot (like an iPhone respring), and will still be slow so I still end up having to reboot. I can most definately say that the Sidekick 4G is a BAD phone.

Yea, when it's that constant use that's what always kills it. And for you other post battery temp is a major factor in this, I can honestly say if your battery is more than 100 degrees its gonna wayy faster, and if its more than 100 degrees a day... it's time for a new batt, slim. I KNOW that will fix this problem COMPLETLY.
how's your battery doing guys when you go heavy use with this phone ? with or without wifi.
My battery is doing well, thanks for asking

I get 4 hours screen on time with average use
Total on-time varies with what I do. Could be 10 hours could be over 24

so anyone ever reached the phone from fully charged with standard SOT 3-4 hours from your nexus 5 and the battery still runs good ?
For me the key about the N5 battery life is two fold;
1. It loses very little juice on idle, even with all of the radios on.
2. It charges exceptionally fast.
Now, if you run screen brightness up and use google navigation the battery can go fast. Real fast. But for me, what is important is that if I know I am going to be away from the charger for a while I can easily tweak my behavior to get me there.

After reading multiple reviews with excellent battery benchmarks, I WAF super excited. It is being compared to tablets.
I am yet to see that sort of battery life and have been fixing wake locks on random applications since I bought the phone. Still trying to figure some out (calendar storage)?
Also, S Health components and other apps are force closing from time to time.
What has your experience been like?

I'm having excellent battery life, and cant wait for better kernels to be available. Was at hour and a half screen on when this was taken, and hours of streaming sirius. Im happy so far
Not at all impressed. Got 3 hours of screen time to 50% before the battery tanked after that. Im guessing I can hit 5 hours of screen time...which is the same as my m7. Very disappointing so far.
Currently right now, off the charger for 57 minutes. A whopping 9 minutes of screen time....already down to 96%. 4.1%/h burn.
Does this phone stop charging once it hits 100%? Cause it sure as hell seems like it.
Compared to the g2 its kind of a disappointment, but it's not horrible. Got 16 hours with 2 and a half screen along with a couple hours of bluetooth music and some YouTube videos. Try turning of location services when not using, because thats a huge battery hog. I really wish google would fix that. Usually when android system is ahead of screen thats because location services.

I'm not sure what kind of battery life you guys are trying to get with this phone. You have a bunch of features and 1080p hd screen that im pretty sure is pulling lots of power and well the battery is 2800mah so of course its really not going to compete much with the G2 3000mah battery.
I have a G flex i decided to yea take a 720p display over a 1080p display because battery was more important to me, i hated taking my charger everywhere with me or carrying 2 extra batteries like really that's not normal and some folks think it is lol. I took a sacrifice on this phone but i love the battery no more taking chargers or extra batteries lol.
Thats with normal usage browsing the web, couple of YouTube videos, about 3 episode of shows on netflix and alot of pandora and music player especially for the gym.

Had some pretty decent battery life yesterday at work in my opinion.
Streamed a movie, like 2 ocean docs, 3 animal planet shows all on netflix, and watched an hour of people streaming on twitch. plus synced exchange, gmail, and texting all day as usual. Brightness was at 50% and no power saving options on.
I'm surprised you guys are having such bad luck with the battery. I played Bloons TD5 the other day for 2 hours on LTE connection with about 75% brightness and only went down 15%.
SMH...
I see some of these post and makes me wonder how many truely have the phone...
You guys getting 12 hours on your phone must be living on it. I unplugged it at 7am and messed with it all day (I work from home) getting everything on it and where I wanted it. Checking out Real Racing 3 for an hour and a half. Surfing for 4 hours while watching a movie and basketball game. Went to bed at 11:30 pm and it still had 53%. Not sure what you guys are doing on it?? I'm guessing you need to get a job and watch porn on your tablet or laptop. hahaha This battery is waaaaay better than my S4 and about 30% better than my LG G2. Really happy with it so far.:good:
I seriously have never been able to get above 2.5 hours of on screen time neither on this phone nor my other phones I've had. I don't get it. Service in my area sucks could that be why my battery life is so bad? I'm amazed seeing anyone with above 3 hours of on screen time. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong.

i had horrible battery life and it occurred to pull my sd card.
I did, and now the battery life is as advertised.
Do I have a crappy sd card or is it possibly a bad config? I just backed up all the content, and formatted using the built in utility.
There were a couple of programs that installed to sd, i wonder if having those on internal memory and only using sd for photos and music will make a difference.
I just put the empty card back in, and will post results if it made a difference.

I'm guessing you need to get a job and watch porn on your tablet or laptop. hahaha This battery is waaaaay better than my S4 and about 30% better than my LG G2. Really happy with it so far.:good:

I agree its better but I was expecting better. I download torrents on it, surf, play games, then enable the battery saver and I can get 10-12hrs off it. I agree its better than the S3 or S4 however many were expecting more.
I consistently get around 16 hours with 3-4 hours screen on time and 1-2 hours bt music. Its no g2 but it lasts me all day.
