Purchased this morning and the battery was drained... Fully charged at 5:30pm. Now at 7:30pm im as 50% with minimal use. a 4-5 hour battery life is not going to cut it.
Hopefully this is just an initial charge issue, but my vibrant never drained this fast.
Worried!
U may actually have a bad batt. But id give it a chance. Drain it down to 0. Turn it back on. Let it die again.
Then charge it while off. If it happens again youll know.

Don't worry man, it is because of the first charge.

I have done a few charge cycles completely draining it and battery life is still pretty bad...it better get a lot better than this or it is going back.
Also getting random freezes and reboots.
I've got a ton of apps and widgets installed and use Exchange push. Battery life has been just a little worse than my G2. The phone froze after I first configured it and I had to do a hard reset and rebuild it. It runs a lot better after the reset. You might want to start-over and see if it make any difference for your freezes and resets. I'm purely guessing it may be the difference between the phone configuring the SD card and reading off of one that's already configured.
Bad batt. 4 hrs is a wayyyyy bad.

Sounds like my experience too. My battery yesterday lasted me no more than 7 hours. Wooh, I was pissed. So far today though, It's been on for 14 hours and I'm only down to 25% with some medium-to-heavy emailing and texting, and a few 5 minute phone calls. I'm very impressed after this second charge. I'll drain it again tonight in hopes for a little additional life. Stick it out for another day or two, OP.
I'm really concerned because I've had my phone since Monday and have charged it at least twice a day. It's not getting any better :-( I have even froze alot of the bloatware and apps that run in the background. I can't handle 6hr battery life :-(

You mean for an exchange? Or ask for a new battery? Will they do that?
I also have serious battery issues. The battery usage is mostly consumed by cell standby and bluetooth. On my mytouch 4g at most these parameters were a few percent each. On the g2x they are like at 25% usage each. This does not appear to be normal. This is with minimal to no usage. I dont get it. Is it a software issue, there is no reason cell standby and bluetooth should be usaging so much juice with little to no use.

Root your phone, after that install Titanium Backup from the market, and once you load titanium backup, you can actually go to Backup/Restore and find the app that you want to freeze, click on it and choose Freeze.
Once you install Titanium Backup - it will ask you for root rights - click on "yes" or "allow" (dont remember exactly which one it was" so you can provide root rights for it.
Anybody know of documentation on best way to calibrate the battery? I did 1 discharge - charge cycle... how many more do I need to do? Do they need to be back to back or can I keep it plugged in while using it today?

My battery lasts a little less than my NS or vibrant. It should at least give you 5-6 hours of HEAVY usage. I left the house yesterday at 10 and by 6 it was done. Since it's a new unit I used it heavy, plus I rely on it for scheduling and contacting clients about every 30-60min. I was also playing games on my breaks.
You probably have a bad battery.

I do seriously think that there are a lot of improvements that will come in a software update. The Cell and Wifi usage are ludicrous and it's probably a matter of getting the phone out the door with an update to follow.
This is only the second Tegra 2 phone to be released in the US.
2nd day with the G2X and the battery life isn't getting any better... If anything it's getting worse...
90% at noon and 20% at 2:40pm. Plugged in at 2:40 and now 20 minues later im back at 88%
Drains way too fast, and seems to charge even faster...
This phone is faster is every way compared to my vibrant, I just wish this wasn't true for the battery loss..
i recently flash Wildchild IcE v0.6 Beta Rom (Good One) i tried calibrating the battery and deleting the battery file in recovery and still dont getting the battery to work well. it can be at 100% and i reboot the phone and it appears at 13% (ex) it even happens without rebooting the phone. Any help?

By trying another battery.
I'm in the process of getting the ankers, but my stock battery is trash period, my battery stats show like that, I can be at 30% then reboot and be at like 5, but I can plug in before a reboot and then be at like 50%. I know its going to kill my battery eventually like it did on my buddies G1, and I know that's an old phone but his was doing these same exact things and one day he took it off charge at 100% and 30 seconds later went dead and we never got that battery back.
Last night when I got home my battery was like 30% and I was showing off pix from the zoo my ds just decided to say low battery and shut down. So I gave it 5 and brought it back up with 20%? So I would def think its the battery, seems how hot the stock one gets

Exactly same problem. Sometimes it would be at 12% like for 1 1/2 hour until it gets to 11%. I noticed that my battery drain pretty fast when it gets hot. Eventually my battery works great,I think is the phone. Where I can find de ankers at the lowest price?

Ive been contemplating the fact that my terrible battery life is my battery... Ive been playing with kernels and roms and i found a setup i like..... Battery life is still crap... I know this device doesnt have excellent battery but i can hardly squeeze 4 hours on moderate use....
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Yeah - unless you are streaming video, audio, in a no-service zone and have your brightness set to max... that's a horrible battery life. Get a new one.
Change your battery. I also playied on my ex phone with roms and kernels, but after charging battery after 20 mins of charging always went 20% lower and handeled 3h of moderate use.
Yea i wasnt sure because i got the battery less than a year ago. Thank

The first graph shows nearly 100% awake and 100% screen on. Were you playing a game? 2 hours of intense gaming will bring nearly any battery to its knees...

Have you tried just basic stock kernal and ROM? Also set the brightness to auto so it saves you battery life if you're going to be using it for texting a lot and YouTube. Another thing would be let the phone die it all the way to 0% and then fully charge it til it's 100% or until it says Charged. If you keep charging it form 25% for example and then take it out at 78% and start using it again, the battery life will slowly decrease. It ruins the battery that way.

My battery is close to 2 years old as well, it will only last 2 hours if I on the screen and data.
Get yourself an Anker battery.

hav seen so many posts on this but didnt get to the right one!! any mods through which we can get good battery life??
Sent from my Micromax A91 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Logically, the battery can be saved by less brightness; switching of the unwanted apps / wifi / bluetooth, etc. And lastly power saving mode.
I had problem when changing roms i would get really good battery life initially then would gradually drain fast over time. I usually leave my battery to drain down untill phone switchs off, but now i started charging at %20-%30 percent and saw a significant difference in battery decrease. And river just pretty much covered every other way of saving battery.
There are a few mods for better battery life but what I did was buy an extended battery.

Power saving mode. Lower brightness. Last but not least Greenify. I do not undervolt my devices since this affects responsiveness.

Always fully charge your phone up to 100% and wait a couple hours then disconnect.
Don't disconnect cable while charging.
Always drain the battery till the phone off or 1% left.
I know this by testing it to my LG L3 e400.
At the beginning the phone only had about 2 days standby time. Now it's 7 days 19 hours standby time.
Don't forget to use a good Rom.
Do this at your own risk.

Idk but totally draining your battery can do more harm than good for it. Charging it at around 20% percent is fair enough. Discharging it once a month can be helpful as it resets your charge cycle.

Lithium ion/polymer is not the same as NiCad. You don't need to peak charge, nor fully discharge lithium batteries. In fact, they're healthiest with a moderate charge. NiCads could develop "memory" if not properly maintained and conditioned, where they'd prematurely dump and/or not reach their max charge. Lithium batteries don't.
Greenify helps a lot.
If you have xposed installed, then you might want to take a look at DS battery saver.
My nexus 5 last a long time on standby with the screen off (only drains like 2% per hour) but when I start using it the battery can drain as fast as 1% in 10 minutes or less. I do play some games but no intensely, and mostly in just on fb and internet. I have heard that the battery on this phone is pretty low for having such a fast processor, but is this normal? I took a screen shot of my battery so you can really see it plummets as soon as the screen is on. Please let me know what's going on and if I can fix it. Thanks
Firstly. You need more detail than just that graph. And secondly, yes using your phone will drain the battery

Boy howdy your post is sure helpful. I've been reported for less.
OP:
The n5 screen is very power hungry and inefficient. I can run WiFi tethering all day if I keep the screen off, but read a few articles online and battery plummets.
