[Q] Has anyone found a solution for the poor battery life experienced by some of us?

I've removed notifications from apps, uninstalled google+, exchanged my battery with Verizon, and I'm still getting under 6 hours with moderate use using my stock phone.

Creating more threads certainly won't help.
I was able to correct my battery issue recently, however, there is no guaranteed fix and if there is, I haven't fount it.
Also, I'm not running a stock Charge, so you can't really compare your Charge to mine.

I would think there is a problem w/ the phone. Mine lasts all day (17-18hrs) 1.5-2hrs screen on time, handfull of phone calls and texts, notifications and widgets refreshing. Usually there is between 10 and 35% remaining when I plug in for the night.

I get great battery life. Here are the requirements(lol).
1)Humble(battery saving ROM)
2)Juicedefender(If you like the free app you may want to buy Ultimate, its kinda pricy but I think it's worth it)
3)Always charge your phone with the power off, it gives it a full charge.
4)Possibly the most important step is to ALWAYS task kill and clear RAM after you're done with an app(phone comes with Task Manger pre-installed. Hitting the home key does NOT close the app it just puts it in standby meaning it can keep your phone from sleeping(Kills battery life) and with it running in the background is just killing even more battery life.
Follow the above steps and I can('t) guarantee you great battery life. I say can('t) because I don't want to get hate if it for some reason doesn't work for you :] Enjoy!

+1 for that...
Humble Froyo is the longest lasting ROM/kernel imho, I can last all day with heavy usage.

Shut GPS off. For some reason, my GPS keeps refreshing at incredibly tight intervals (sub 5 minutes). Haven't figured out what program is causing that, but as soon as I shut GPS off until I need to use it, I've gone from 6-8 hours of battery life to easily 15-18.

I've tried humble for 2 days and I barely get 5 hours, but due to difficulties, the rom was not installed when my battery was at 100%. I plan on trying again tonight. Thanks for the advice about GPS. I usually turn it off, but I find myself using maps and yelp to find local places.

FYI, Juicedefender did not play nice with my phone (worked fine on my OG droid). It would work fine in a solid 4g area, but in fringe areas the data would not come back and I would have to reboot to get it back. Since removing JD I have never had a problem with no data.

I had the exact same experience with Juice Defender. Feeling annoyed that I ended up shelling out for the Ultimate version in the hopes it might work better and it doesn't.
I get mediocre battery life...about 10-12 hours with moderate usage...nowhere near the 20+. I'll have to give it a shot for turning off GPS to see if that resolves anything.

GPS is a huge battery hog. Put the power control widget on your home screen do you can control gps wifi etc from one shortcut.

juice defender has been working fine on my phone (however i am rarely in 4g unless i am working so i usually have 4g turned off with 4g switch). My battery has lasted forever i am currently on hour 25 with little to moderate use and about 64 percent battery left.
before i turned 4g off and installed juice defender i would get around 10 to 12 hours of battery life on my phone.

Which 4g switch would you recommend? I'm trying the LTE Switch by buttercrumbs for free since the others either cost 99 cents or don't work with the Charge.
Edit: Looks like LTE Switch doesn't have a widget. It'd be nice if there was a one-click solution. LTE switch takes 3-4 clicks to switch between CDMA and LTE.

lte switch was the one i used it was the simplest i have seen.
also i am still going on the battery up to 1 day 15 hours 12 min and 28 sec with 21 percent battery left. will post a screenshot later when the battery gets a little lower.
I am now glad i got rid of the thunderbolt with these settings on the thunderbolt i still only made it one day tops.

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

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.

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.

Battery

What kind of use are people getting out of their OneS batteries?
I've had my phone for just under a week and have run it through 3 or 4 full charge/discharge cycles.
Phone is running stock firmware. Last charge lasted ~36 hours with the screen using the most power.
I'd be interested to know what other people are seeing?

I get around 18 - 24 hours battery, depending on how i use it...
Battery life is epic on this phone Ive yet to see someone complain about it

Yup. Turn it off.

im have an imported international one s on att in nyc and i only get maybe 10-12 hours i use it fairly oftern but no videos or calls. i get no where near 24 or even 18 hours like i need.

12-20 hours.
That includes about 2 hours of off-screen streaming while commuting, 8-10 hours WiFi on, 2-4 hours games and surfing, 10-15 minutes calls and a dozen or so messages.
My last charge was at about 25% after 16 hours, and usage pattern as described. Screen is on auto brightness and consuming about 60%.

Anyone else? My battery life is exceptionally bad took the phone with me to the park 4hrs of listening to music with maybe an hours worth of web browsing and 30 of those minutes taking pictures the phone is dead

That doesn't strike me as exceptionally bad but rather merely less than average. An hour of web browsing is going to use a lot of battery in itself. Do you use the Beats enhancements too when listening to music? Bet that drains some battery.

its exceptionally bad in comparison to what everyone e else is reporting about this phone. and the battery is one of the reasons i chose this over the one x. my phone also keeps switching between h and 3g. im on ATT on an imported MAO

First charge and usage was; A few texts, 10-20 min of video, fair amount of browsing, installing lots of apps, tweaking and changing everything about, GPS, camera etc. and brightness was at 70-85% brightness for about 1-2 hours and dropped to 50% for the rest of the time, however, I didn't have my SIM in for the first hour of use (testing the mobile first to make sure it worked ok), wifi was on constantly as well.
Second charge and usage was; the same as above but a fair bit more browsing was done and a few games (angry birds and ROM emulators) and brightness was at 50% the entire time, plus this time the SIM was in for the entire time.

really good battery life, after a day of calls, bit of gaming, couple camera shots, with sync on, fb etc, battery is at 50% - 60% ,
I reckon i could get 2 days easy if i was economical, but 1 day easy with heavy use.

The screen will always have the highest usage so really battery stats are somewhat useless without sharing screen on time..

I highly, highly doubt that. Beats, correct me if I'm wrong, is just an "improvement" of the audio frequencies. An automagical DSP.

Without particularly trying to save power my battery is lasting 36 hours or so.
By far the biggest drain is the screen, currently at 65% of power drawn. Wifi is second with 7%. Considering that wifi has been on more or less constantly for the period this is pretty impressive.
I could probably push battery life to 2 days if I replaced live wallpaper with black background and reduced screen brightness generally. It's hard to know what else to do though.

There has to be some processing going on somewhere, that was my logic. Happy to stand corrected tho.

I got question regarding to battery and charging...
How it would affect battery, if I would charge it every day while driving 1h (it wont get fully charged if empty). Would it affect it badly in time?

i get about down to 30-35% at the end of the day with light web use, gmail, maybe a short phone call, and a bit of GPRS hunting when the signal is not that good. I just installed the power manager to see if there is any real use of it...

Mate...I've always disputed the battery andusic thing..your guaranteed to run out faster..I know it has that function and beats etc..but I pods or mp3 players do a much better job in every department and don't waste your phone battery. I'm getting a day and a half and I'm a fairly heavy user..I play the odd game. Text a lot to my wife lol..and surf the web. Its all about what your using...
One plus side..I use free beats earphones on my iPod and it sounds fing amazing.

mine has been great since day 1 with no hiccups. 15hrs or so with 3+ screen time yields me about 25% battery left at end of the day

Yeah, not really impressed with the battery life either, barely make it through the day with moderate use. Screen is a killer!
Sent from my HTC One X

17h 30m with 52% capacity left after moderate use today (2 hours reading the news with various apps on LTE/4G and the rest of the day on WiFi, with maybe an hour browsing, updating apps and fiddling). CPU - 7.05% at 1.5 GHz, 4.85% at 1.13 GHz, 3.07% at 810 MHz, 80.64% at 384 MHz with the remainder of CPU usage scattered in between. Pretty good really - much better than my HTC Desire.

Use BetterBatteryStats and check for rogue apps sucking battery.
After that, if your phone still is dying incredibly quickly, just use the phone until it dies. Then boot into hboot (volume down and power button together, a white screen with blocky text and some androids on the bottom will show up), and keep that open until the phone shuts off again. Then do a full charge to 4.2v.

Try a number of battery saver apps / tips

I had a Desire, have a Xoom & now a X. Found with large screen devices you have to use those normal tips such as screen brightness, rougue app killing, sync for FB / mail. Rooted the HTC when first purchased with Leedroid to fix battery. Got 50% more from just that process. Didn't wait for the first OTA upgrade to fix that first horror release. Suggest:
a) batterysaver (or similar) on all devices - I reckon it gives a little %.
b) Turn off all apps not being used
c) Turn down screen
d) Turn off Bluetooth / GPS / etc when you don't need them
e) In car, at work, use charger
Gotta love smart phones. If you use it, you will lose it. (Battery that is).

- Root it and remove all the bloatware.
- Turn off auto brightness and set it at a fixed level (minimum is too dark, I have it set a little above minimum)
- Only enable wifi/gps when you need them
- If you need sync, turn down the syncing intervals
I get great battery life on this thing. There must be something you are doing. What do you mean by 'regular use'? Are you playing games for hours on end?

I seem to be having the same problem. Last screen shot I had I was at 37% with 16 hours. Now I'm sitting right now at 40% with 5 hours. Not sure what's sucking up all the juice. I don't have any sketchy apps installed. Might delete them one by one see how that goes because something is seriously draining the battery and I know it's not normal.

my battery was horrible. In fact I went to take it back to att. He told me to try a complete factory reset and try it factory without any extra apps installed. So I did and my battery is sooo much better during my "test" before I couldn't get more then 9 hours with 3 hour screen time but now look at it. I'm guessing ny case it's an app like task killer or something I had on the phone killing the battery. Now to figure out what it was.

I just got over 36 hours on one charge and had 16% left. That was riding a motorcycle for 3 hours through the mountains where I know there is spotty coverage plus a 2 hour conference call on Friday.
One thing I've noticed, check your wireless settings and make sure Best Wi-Fi Performance is unchecked. I had that turned on and got about 9 hours on a charge. Turned it off and fantastic battery life.

Yea there are definitely some rogue apps that will kill your battery. Best bet install an app one at a time and see which one starts affecting battery life.

i'm with you. I have seen some posts on here about 4.2 and noticed some say 4.3 should be achievable. Perhaps they are rounding up the 4.177 to get the 4.2? I, too, charge to exactly 4.177 in morning on full overnight charging. Actually, my device is 4.187 until i unplug, when it immediately drops to 77. That said, my battery life has been great in the 9 days since my initial day or two with the phone.

[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.

from what I understand, these phones tend to get warm after lots of screen on time. so I believe thats normal.

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.

yea at home i get crappy coverage, but when at work (which is most of the day) in Midtown Manhattan, i get excellent signal. so it's a mix. i also stream Spotify a lot.

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.
