***Post Your Battery Usage Here***

Post your real numbers of what you get chaps, it will be interesting to see what some get over others.
Over night Standby Loss=30%
Average day I get 12 hours before needing a charge.
I have
WIFI on,
GPS off

sounds like a big drain if you have lg vip service ( free in NL ), call lg and ask a replacement.
My first o3d was like that and the new one I lose 3-5% overnight with no TP app ( juice garbage etc )
Wifi on
Sync on
Auto brightness
GPS 0ff
Edit: main bettery user seems to be 3d gameloft games, I can get 24hours with some 3d youtube a lof wifi browsing and a 3d picture now and then

I am using a custom rom and it has gamesloft removed and lots of other stuff.

12 hours, 24 if i dont touch it

Over night Standby Loss= 0%, some other nights I get about 4% loss, I don't know why!
Average day I get 24 hours before needing a charge, or extra one half a day, depending on the use.
I have :
WIFI off, I turn it on when I need that and I do that a lot.
GPS off.
Auto Brightness.
Sync on.
Playing Cut the rope for a while.
Taking some 2D/3D videos and pictures.

Yehaww
I get about 7-8 hours but I'm ALWAYS on my phone. Always.... normal for me

I would say I get what I need.
I have the phone from 6:40am till 10pm with 20%-10% battery left.
My use is:
WIFI all the time.
3G (data transfer) off all the time.
GPS off.
Default Brightness.
Sync on.
Playing Angry Bird, Slice Fruit and a bit of Golf 3D and listening music while going and coming back from work (2hrs journey return).
And obviously making/receiving some phone calls.
Now, lately, I've been playing a LOT of Golf 3D (got really addicted ) so from my house to my work I've lost 30%-40% battery.
When I go to my break I play another 30 minutes and the battery is already on its 40%-30%.
So basically I have to charge it at work.
During the night the phone is ALWAYS charging so I don't know how much the phone would drain.

Wifi on
Data off most of the time
Sync on
No 3d
Average time 10-14 hrs
Very dissapointed...i have to carry charger everywhere...LG software is battery unoptimized
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk

Charged 24 hours ago, lost 4% overnight. Played about 30 minutes of Myth Defense, took 7 3D photo's, two calls and three text messages and have 68% left.
Wifi on
Sync on
3G/HSDPA on
GPS off
Wifi localization on
Brightness 55%
Phone is on v10D and rooted. Got a couple of background processes like WhatsApp and battery/time/weather widgets.
The first week it was pretty bad but now I'm quite content.
You have to take into consideration that the phone has a very large screen with dualcore processor. I think the largest capacity battery you can get for this phone without drastically enlarging the casing is about 1980mAh which will give you (just an estimation) about an hour more juice. If you want the phone to last two days on one charge with normal use it would've been twice as large and a lot heavier.

I don't understand how some can get such better battery life when they use the phone more than I do.
Is it the different launchers, what do people use.

What worrys me about that is that your Android System stat says that it is using 15% were as mine says it is using 53%. That just doesn't seem normal.

My Android System is using 33% and it is the one that uses most my battery.

Look at mine...most time screen off and just a litle wifi

Honestly when i look at mine i see cell standby of 53% and think that isnt normal.
In my milestone the display is always miles ahead in battery consumption by about 50% and i assumed it would be the same in all androids.

Nice app man. Im gonna check that out. My experience of battery monitors has always been that they eat more battery than they help you conserve but that one looks interesting.
There are parts on that graph that say it is consuming absolutely no power at all. That seems off likes.

There's a difference between not wanting to be rude by questioning something or just stating something's impossible
Here ya go, after over 14 hours. The top one is RF2011 3D which I played about 5 minutes. Besides RF2011 I played just over half an hour of Wordfeud. The rest of the time the phone was in standby and as you see it still has about 70% charge. My Android System only used 3% in these 14 hours as you can see in my screenshot.

Realy Realy Poor Batterylife!!!! :eek:

Hello,
I need your help with my battery life, i am running 4.4.2 (everything is stock, Google now is dissabled, and no apps where running in background) on my N5 and since i updated my battery life is juster terrible. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Before i updated and i was running 4.4 my battery life was realy great.
here are some screenshots of my battery life with 4.4.2.:

i get similar results since upgrading to 4.4.2. From what i see it has to do with a combination of google play services and/or google now. it's driving me nuts too. My device is rooted, no custom rom or kernel, Greenify and Snapdragon Pro battery save app and im getting terrible results. What use to be a typical 10% drain by the end of the day (minimal usage), now i'm getting 50% drain by the end of the day. I only seem improvements after rebooting my device.

yeah i'm with you, i even disable google now and i'm getting similar energy drain rates too...

Ohh okay, so noone figgured out what causes it? Or how to improve the batterylife? I cant seem to find anything on several forums...

battery life is dependent on how you personally set up your device, what apps you have installed, how you manage your apps, and, very importantly, the quality of your phone/data connection plays a huge role in battery life(huge might be an understatement).

My battery is also worse with 4.2.2 -- not catastrophic, but probably a good 15% (roughly) performance drop. What I've noticed, but haven't seen any other mention of, is a tremendous increase in the number of wakes when the phone should be sleeping. With 4.2 it slept like a baby, barely sipping any juice at all, but now it's doing something every few minutes. I am pure stock, unrooted, no custom anything and don't have facebook. Just about everything's turned on -- as it was under 4.2. My only 'exotic' app is Chrome beta which does seem to be a battery hog, but that shouldn't account for this aspect of performance.
(added per comment above) Phone/data connections are identical from 4.2/4.2.2 so it is the update -- or probably just as likely, some app that needs tweaking to play nice with 4.2.2

I had the same problem after updating to 4.4.2. Turning "Backup my data" under "Backup & reset" off worked for me.

I have read in other XDA forums that 4.4.2 may be more honest about battery usage now where before it was front loading battery stats to give the illusion of better performance.
I believe most cell phone manufacturers and carriers regularly do this with battery stats and signal strength.
What is important is your individual performance. Looks like your battery is at about 70% after 9.5 hours. What is wrong with that?

I feel like my phones battery life has gotten better. I can get about 3-3.5 hours of screen time on my battery, ~17 hours. Reset the phone and don't install any apps, to see how its working. Are you getting signal all the time? Or is it jumping in and out? Because if it is, it'll drain the battery too

50% less in two hours, no games, just whatsapp and spotify, screen at min. Worst battery life I've had in Android phones
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

My battery life is excellent on this phone, and the majority of the time it's better than any other phone that I've owned (12 of them, to be exact).....and then either Google + or Chrome will start running really aggressively in the background and kill 20% of my battery within the space of a half hour. This happens even when I haven't actually opened either app. It doesn't happen often, and a reboot seems to fix it, but it's really, really annoying.
But yeah, fantastic battery life other than that issue.

Disable location reporting. This should help. I notice a huge difference. Also, when I have Facebook installed, I seem to get terrible battery life compared to when I just use it in the browser.

Disabling location reporting is one of the first things I do on any new phone. It's not worth the battery drain you end up having, and Google Now works fine without it.

I've actually been surprised with how good the battery life is at times but I have to admit it's not always very consistent.
Wi-Fi is on during sleep "Only when plugged in" and "Scanning always available" is off.
Location Mode is "battery saving" unless I need to use google nav.
Location reporting on, history off and I am not using google now. Also using Nova Launcher.
Not using Facebook, Google+ or Twitter.
Using Xposed Framework with the paid version of Greenify. Google Search, Hangouts, Keep and YouTube are the only "system" apps I have "Hibernated."

[Q] /Summon people that had terrible battery life and fixed it

I would like to know how you did it. Flashing a factory image, using another rom / kernel, tweaking X setting... Maybe this help people, including me, as I am having really bad battery life

Are you connected to WiFi most of the time? I had the really bad battery drain issue while connected to WiFi after the 4.4.2 update. I lost about 30% of charge after 4ish hours while connected. Currently I'm at 92% after 3 hours

What battery drain?
Stock everything and I'm getting great battery. Location on high accuracy and location history off.

\When you say that you have bad battery life, it would certainly help if you provided more details - screen print of battery usage, which apps are using more battery, screen on time, and betterbatteryplus wakelock details if possible.
The 'solution' will depend on what is draining your battery. It also depends on what your expectations are - you are not going to get 10 hours of screen on time (exaggeration, but I hope you understand what I am getting at) - so, if you can quantitatively express what you are expecting, and what you are getting, folks may be able to help you figure out how to address the issue.
A "bad battery life" statement doesn't really help much

@aooga's post kinda outlines (part of) what to provide - graph of battery usage. Also get the screen print before that one that shows the usage by app/process. Include the other details that I mentioned above. The more details you provide, better the odds are that somebody may be able to help.

Have you had the same results when you didn't play Asphalt 8? In my experience Asphalt 8 drains the battery immensely. So if you played asphalt 8 for 30 min or so it would drain your battery about 15-20% or so. Even though it says it used only 6% it's a lot more because of the screen and the processing/graphics it has to use for the game.

Hmm that is a bit weird then. On a normal day of use without watching videos or playing games I'm usually at around 90% after 3-4 hours. So I figured if you played Asphalt for like 20 min or so it would explain the battery. Most battery drains are shown as "Android OS" or "Google Play Services" and that doesn't seem to be the case so I'm not sure. Whats your brightness on? Oh I actually didn't notice it showed the stats for Asphalt 8. For some reason (and I can be wrong) but it would show I played for 11 min for example but I would have really played for more. Also, would you mind showing your signal stats? It could also be your bad signal although I think that would be shown as "cell standy"

Well Here are some top tips that i tried and pretty much help a lot
- Since i Live in the UK and we dont have large scale LTE, Make sure the phone isnt searching for it
- Running ART, I know its not much but it helped a bit
-Turn off google Now, I know many people like this but i dont really use it, At the very least turn off hotword detection in the settings
- Dont use Auto Brightness, its easy just find a brightness setting that you feel good with and keep it there
- Use Tasker, I use this for a lot of things but setup a profile in tasker that turns off things like mobile data and wifi in the hours when your going to be sleeping, This will reduce standby time loss, Tested it last night and i went to bed at 50% when i woke up 8+ hours later the phone was at 48%
- Change account syncing settings, This also reduces standby time loss make sure your phone is checking only every half an hour or so for email
From this morning up until like half an hour ago i was on about 48% - 17% with medium use and it lasted about 6-7 hours Ill post pictures when i go through a while day with these settings tomorrow.

[Q] Battery

Hi All
I'm set with money ready to buy the Nexus 5 ( 32 GB ) or Z1 Compact
And I wonder how well the battery of the N5 performs in real life
Because...when I buy the N5 I don't plan to leave it at 2.26Ghz...in fact I even plan to underclock it to 1.7Ghz ( Because Xperia Z has a 5" and is clocked at an even lower speed and still performs well )
And I'm a light user...who never or rarely uses Wi-FI and am always on 2g ( I never use 4G or 3G ) and always on 5-10% Brightness I also plan to remove all bloatware ( except Google Now ) my phone usually sits on bed and I only get it out to watch some 720p Vids then it rests again
Could I get a day or two out of it and is the "Camera Draining the battery issue" fixed on the 4.4.2 Update?
and finally i just wonder up to now why Z1c gets higher scores than N5 I mean N5 is clocked at higher speeds could this be the effect of Thermal Throttling
Thanks alot :good:

Please Help

Well, nexus 5 will give you a day backup easily according to your usage
The camera bug is not yet fixed, but there are rumors for 4.4.3 update which gonna fix it and gonna release soon
You need to fairly choose between fast updates(nexus and gpe series) or more hardware features (all other smartphone)
If you are interested in rooting and customizing stuff, then you will get plenty of those in nexus 5
Even my usage is similar like you, I use 3G, I do get one day battery backup
I hope it helps you
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm not 100% sure on the compacts specs but my friend has the Z1. It's exactly the same processor and clock speed. Apart from the camera is awesome and it's waterproof. But u get a crappy sony ui. And Sony updates (which to be fair it has just received 4.4.2) but in my past experience of owning Sony's as soon as their next phone is released they forget about the previous.
The nexus on the other hand is far smoother and faster to use and WILL get all the latest Android releases first and always. And no bloatware. Just fast smooth simple Android
I was deciding between the two before I got my Nexus, and to be fair i don't think I'd have been disappointed in either.
And yes you can easily get 2 days out of the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ahh because I was a bit skeptical since I checked the GSMarena website and battery endurance was at 40H and Z1c is like 65H
How about the overheating issues?

Most Google Now functions require internet connectivity. I think reminders work without one.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

From what you describe as your usage I can see it lasting a day no problem, perhaps 36 hours, maybe more if you let the battery go down far. My Nexus 5 typically burns from 100% to 70% over 10 hours from when I leave to when i get back from work, and thats on 4G/3G with decent to fair signal, bluetooth on, wifi on, and brightness all the way up, with texting on and off through the day. With minimum texting once I made it around 85-88%, little over 1% an hour.

That's great to know since I even plan to Underclock the phone and leave the other connection options off at most times
As for Google Now without net would it still work or just show "Cannot Reach Google at the moment"

Very disappointed.

I would say most people running on stock everything will NOT get the stats you're getting.
About 3-4 SOT is about average I would think, and that is with brightness at a lower setting. Don't give users a false sense of security, as your stats are far from the norm...

^thank you

3-4 SoT hours is already more than most phones could hope for.
6-8 hours SoT is achievable on stock, with lighter usage and mostly WiFi. I wouldn't say it's misleading to expect 6 hours SoT as that seems to be what most users on here are settling down with.
Edit for obligatory proof: Take today for instance, 3 hours SoT with 54% battery remaining. Heavy data usage and loss of signal included. Stock and unrooted.

It shows what is possible. And the battery life thread can show anyone how to do it. Its not hard. Turn stuff off. Toggle it on when you actually truly need it. It isn't that inconvenient.
Yes, you are right about the average times ...the problem is some, like a person in this thread we all should know, complain and complain and complain about their 3 hours screen time. Meanwhile, everything is on, they're gaming, using auto brightness in the sunshine...etc...etc...
As you said, 3 to 4 SOT is average I'd say. If that disappoints anyone....do something about it....there's a battery thread full of help....or sell the phone and buy one with a huge battery that can handle everything on and give you more hours.

That's true, on wifi, the battery life really shines. Out in the real world, with varying signal strength, I would put the average around 3-4 SOT with everything on however.

FaIr enough
Yes, there are many tweaks that can be done to improve battery life, but stock for stock, it is only average in my opinion.

Battery Life

It looks to me like its pretty good on battery. I only tested the usage time and not the standby time.
I had my phone on for 8 1/2 hours and my location was on the whole time with high accuracy enabled. I had Bluetooth on the whole time. Screen was set to auto.
Screen on time: 5:40
calls: 2:20
Waze: around an hour
and all the rest like emails, whatsapp, facebook, text, etc...
Did anyone see how the standby time affects the battery?

Nice

Screen on time?

This was just before bedtime
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA Premium HD app

2hrs screen on time right now, lots of Android System use for some reason.
I've done Bluetooth streaming to my car stereo, listened to music, podcasts, and played a bunch of Angry Birds 2 today, as well as browsing the Web and Facebook. Pretty active day and the battery has held up fairly well. Hopefully it's comparable to my Xperia Z3.

This is more in line with what iI seeing. Last night I went threw and turned software my radio disabled all the unnecessary apps and force closed almost everything... Then unplugged it when it was full 2 hours later iI had lost 10 percent. The only radio that WA son was the wifi but I was connected to wifi.

First full charge..
Not bad, but high Android System somehow

I'm not to happy with mine. It's almost like my edges battery life.

Mine was pretty trashy for 1st full day. Switched to airplane mode from about 4pm till 6pm because it was dropping like a rock... I'll have better screenshot for tomorrow. S6 was avg about 4hours screen time so we shall see how this pans out.. Shrug.. 3500 was all we needed

Wow that's great, did you have wifi, gps, auto brightness?

I've notice that the battery would drain fast 100-89 in a 10-15 kin span then when plug in it would charge up to 100 and it would drain normally.

My first charge cycle...
Screen brightness at 90%.
50% data 50% WiFi.
Bluetooth music and S Gear.
Continuous testing, setting up and general messing around.
Acouple 5 min 4k videos.
Internet surfing.
I did have a 10%spike when I was transferring some files.! So I took this screen with 9% remaining.
Quite impressive to me considering I was getting about 9 hrs with 3hrs Screen time from Note 4 edge with the same battery.
This phone is a major upgrade to the note Edge!!!

Some nice results... I've never been one to Greenify, or freeze many apps. If I decide to get the N5, I'll have to change some habits I suppose. Still on the damn fence about this phone. Maybe I'll go see it at best buy, see how it feels in hand.

Agreed...im getting more than double sot and stdby time then i do with my edge. N5
Is at least twice as fast and buttery as hell compared to the edge.

This phone feels beautiful in your hand. Still trying to get use to the battery and a little smaller screen had all the notes then went to the nexus 6 for a while. This one is by far the best build of any of them.

My battery life is horrible comparatively. What are you guys doing to get 5+ hours so? I haven't even hit 4 hours yet...
