Just want to ask, usually how long does your battery last guys, while using wifi and games?
Is there a way or an app to extend the battery life of Xperia L?
Games suck up a lot of battery life, but if you're including games and wifi and all that it could go up to 3 hours or a bit more

I see, I'm just worrying my battery won't last long half of a day when using both games and wifi. Now I know that's it's normal, thanks!
Hi,
Can someone give me information. So I unlocked the bootloader and update to FW 2.17 flashed a custom kernel and it seems that my battery life is shorter.
It says that the stand by time is 1 day and 13 hours on full charge, but before was 3 days and couple of hours.
Can someone tell me what is wrong. Maybe I did something?? I realy don't know

Hello,
I bought new HTC ONE S (Factory Unlocked-nothing rooted or fishy stuff) two days ago.
As soon as I purchased it I upgraded my OS from ICS to Jelly Bean using HTC auto-update.So I was unable to test battery life on ICS however it is pretty bad now. This is new phone so I don't know whether the JB update has caused this problem.
It can't last more than 2 hours on full use. Just played temple run for 10 minutes and battery dropped down to from 70 to 65% . So in 10 minutes of game play battery dropped by 5% . On this speed it won't last more than an hour on any hd video. Similarly on Wifi use or google market browsing it drops down quicker than my laptop battery.
So is it normal for HTC ONe S or upgrade is causing this? I also turned on power saver option in new Jelly Bean but no improvement. What is the solution please I need help and I love this phone. (No apps stand out in draining battery life).
Thanks

Battery will improve after a few full charges / discharges as it conditions the battery! I dont play games on it but i've never had less than 18 hrs!
I play games every now and then. With heavy games and USB controller I get roughly 2-2.5h of batterylife. Oh, thats with Wifi on as well.
If I play without the USB controller I get maybe 3-3.5h batterylife.
With my use, excluding the games, I get at least 2 days worth of battery.
Why me

Then what do you think why my mobile is showing such poor battery life?
Ive never used stock JB, so dunno if that might be the cause. I havnt had any battery problems on stock ics, viper 1.2.1 or dark jelly CM10.

With stock JB I got 3-4 hours of screen-on time, and roughly about 24-30 hours of battery life total. That included a little gaming but mostly web browsing. I don't have experience on ICS because I also upgraded to JB straight away when I got the phone.
Your battery life seems normal to me considering the age of your phone. See if it improves within the next 5-10 empty-full cycles. As mentioned, the battery needs a couple of cycles before it reaches its' full potential.
Now I've been running CM10 for about a day, so can't really compare to it just yet. It feels lighter on the battery, but it might be placebo. I took it off the charger at around 7:00 this morning and now I'm at 85% and local time here is 14:45.
Current status on mine. Ive used it for a couple of hours total browsing the web and remotecontrolling my PC, done a couple of short calls and sent a few texts. In other words - quite light work.
Still, I think its quite acceptable batterylife
Edit: and as you can see, it never really goes into deep sleep for long periods of time.

hmm I guess like others said I will have to let it charge/discharge few times and then see how it goes. Will update after two days.
Hello
My One S' battery is dying so much that i now have to charge it twice (!) a day to make it through.
Im therefore searching for a rom, that has the best battery saving features out there.
Can anyone recommend any such rom ?
Thanks !

If the battery is old, change it. That will probably fix a lot of things.
CandyKat+Insanity. Best battery life for me so far.

I have been running CandyKat + Insanity for a few days now with stock brightness settings (which is actually really bright). Along with Greenify.
I still get good battery life. Probably around 3-4 hours screen on, and all day use. To my surprise, I do seem to get long run times with video - I tested 5 percent per half hour. So if it continues - 10 percent per hour. That's a long time - that means the phone can play movies for 9+ hours. I was using the Snap movie viewer.
You need e very slim rom.
Uninstal what you don't need. Stop apps you don't use.
In particular wifi & bluetooth (large consumers).
Hi there,
I bought my one plus a month ago, and am getting around 3.5 screen time.
It is disappointing as I see screenshots of people with one plus who are getting 6 -10 hours screen time.
I am on battery saver mode, not using music, whatsApp, wase games or facebook, just a little bit email and browsing.
At night it is not going down a lot, but when I start using the phone, it goes down quite quickly.
(1 percent every 2 minutes, sometimes every minute). It seems to get worse every day.
If I start using GPS or video or music, my battery will be finished by noon.
I replaced the battery, and it is the same.
Attached three screenshots. (Including the night)
Help please?
Thank you!
I share you the same feeling when I see others having impressive battery performance specially screen-on time.
I have exactly the same drain behavior of yours, when my phone in deep sleep its sleep like a baby. but when I wake it its become beast awakening.
I run 3g when I am out and wi-fi at home, also running regular apps, whatsapp,snapchat,2emails,1gmail,instagram,web browsing, auto brightness,greenify. I checked with BBS and WLD but no culprit. I am on stock rom with root for the apps, no system tuning.
So you can see my setup is like most of regular users will do but noticeable difference in term of battery performance. I have no clue
Your battery life is fine, better mine
Who has a lot of SOT usually doesn't turn off/on the screen that much. The secret to achieve a lot of SOT is making long session on the screen (and having few apps, like you). So no worries I'm at 64% now with 1 hour of SOT, but I flash updates (CM 12) everyday and wake up the phone only when I need it, with 1-2 minutes sessions.

That isn't really true, I have over 100 apps installed and I turn my screen off whenever I'm not actually using it. I'm a heavy user. I get roughly six hours of screen on time.

Hi,
Well, at least I am not the only one....
The problem is that it is getting worse every day and now I lose one percent in a minute!
Horrible! I have to charge it twice a day, and I barely use it.
I have no root, am not using any of the apps, only a little bit of browsing, and checking mails.
If I try to use waze for a half of an hour or a little bit of music (max 30min, I get only about 2 hours screen time!
It seems really poor from a brand new battery.
I have no clue what to do, or what is causing it. If anyone have suggestions, i will be glad to hear!
Are you using the stock OPO rom? because I always had a poor battery life, I had all kind of protections to keep battery life but when I saw, from 100 I had 70, it was awful, one solution I saw was to flash one custom kernel, somehow improved my battery life, but the final solution was to use a custom rom, I have experienced better battery life with 5+ roms rather than the ones with 4.x.x, maybe you should taste another android flavor and check if the battery life increases
How hard was it to change the battery? Was it soldered? Where did you get a replacement ?

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry, I don't understand much in roms ... I bought the chinese version color os, and changed it in fast boot to cm11.
My cm version is 11.0-xnph44s , android version-4.4.4
I believe this is app related. Some apps keep phones awake. I encountered this problem with my S3 because I have lots of apps. But since I made sure I only install apps I absolutely need in my oneplus, I get a fantastic battery life.

I don't have so many apps , and I installed all of them. I keep closing apps that are running on the background through the settings.
The funny thing is that it is getting worse every day.
Now my battery is going down one percent in 30-60 seconds!
I don't know what to do anymore.
Hello there community. After owning the Nexus 5 for about 1 year and 3 months. My battery life has gone really bad in the last few weeks. I have tried calibrating it through sucking out the whole juice and bring it up to 100 % and such tricks, but the battery is still the same, draining a little faster than before. Im even underclocked and undervolted with Codeblue trying to save some juice, but is still is in a bad situation. So the question is, is it time to send it to service and change the internal battery ? Or most people are suffering after Lollipop ? etc... Any reply would be appreciated

My battery life is better on Lollipop. Some people say it's worse so...
Have you posted in the battery life sticky?
So Hey, one of the main reasons i bought the Xperia Z3 was due to it's 2 day battery life, but for the last two months it's battery life has been horrible, I usually only get 1 day battery life with only around 2 hours on-screen time, Is the anyway to increase the battery life any of that

Find source of battery drain.
Example...apps with network access, camera access, games with ads on notification are constantly running. Pay attention on this.
And also, stupid "social networks" waste lot of battery and mobile data.

I have the same problem :/
Yesterday i had really good battery life, which lasted a day and a half, But today i fully charged it to 100% from 0% whilst the device was off the same procedure i did before, and i've already lost 10% within the space of an hour.
EDIT: I think GoLauncher is killing majority of my battery life. But it's probably the only Launcher i like.

A launcher, GoLauncher or otherwise, is responsible for an excessive battery consumption so ??? 3100 mAh battery power of z3 are not enough for a launcher ??? New news to me then!
Did you guys check if you have the "Mobile radio active" for long times on any of the other apps? I was suffering from this bug on Lollipop:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558
I was so desperate I reverted to KitKat and the battery life is back again. The stats on KitKat for today:
15h3m on battery
2h30m screentime
35m voice calls
And still 53% remaining.. When I was on lollipop I could just make it through the day. When I checked battery stats the screen wasn't the top consumer, usually some google app. Either Play Services or Gmail or Hangsouts, the apps would indicate hours and hours of "Mobile radio active". Check that link I included and see if your usage matches that issue.
Yes, mobile radio active is killing my battery when mobile network data is enabled.
I guess you nailed it, pakjebakmeel. This has been silently affecting my battery life. I used to get 5-6h SOT, now I barely even get 3h.
Numerous apps keep using "Mobile radio data" for a long time if not force stopped. This is ridiculous.
Only thing we can do is keep starring that issue hoping google will fix it.
