Am I the only one?
I upgraded to a native android device from a modded HTC HD2 to hopefully have a longer battery experience.
This battery is absolutely trash. My 2 year old HTC HD2 running Sense Android Non-Native ran at almost exactly the same.
I tested my HTC HD2 side by side with a close friend who has an Evo 4g.. Both Devices still being HORRIBLE in battery life performed almost IDENTICAL.
HTC HD2 is TWO YEARS old, why is it so close in performance to our device..
I love the phone in general, it's snappy (once i removed all bloatware).. Boots fast, runs nice.. i have very few complaints about it.
But how does an 1100 MaH battery run the SAME as an 1600 MaH battery?
I thought technology is supposed to improve, but my non native android phone ran almost the same as this one. Took longer to restart/boot up, but general speed is the same, larger screen size.. similar settings, and same battery life. Pisses me off frankly.
That's how I felt. hopefully we will get rom's or gingerbread on this phone soon that will improve battery life. And by gingerbread I mean the leak from Samsung for the i9000. I've been reading reviews and it seems like it Greatly improved battery while speeding up the phone a lot.

I have to disagree. I've owned may android phones including the evo. This phone has the best battery life in my opinion. I can easily make it almost all day with use without charging

Well like I said, i admittedly abuse the phone.. but I'm comparing to other phones getting equal abuse. It stands up about the same, better yes, but not by much.
If I'm barely using it however.. let's say, mainly just texting, yes it will last all day. But that never really happens.
I love how people admit that they "abuse" the phone all day and then complain that the battery life sucks. If you're going to use your phone that much, bring your usb cord. Or strap a battery pack to yourself and plug it in for "all day" use and abuse.
It's the screen. If you want the super amoled you have to put up with the battery.
What i don't understand is that why the Droid x which has similar specs to our phone can go up to 10 hours of continuous web browsing when our phone/vibrant can only go up to 4 according to tests. Is it because of the screen? If it is then that's just stupid.

It was horrible for me at first, but I then realized the system has to calibrate the battery first. I am getting about 16-20 hours with moderate usage now, which is better than the G2 I had before.
My g2 can go up to 28 hours with light texting and 2 hours of web browsing through wifi and 10 minutes of calls (manual syncs and low brightness also). Once I use the gps and browse through hspa, it's a different story. My sister has a SGS4G and her battery seems to drain faster than mine.
Oh, and if I keep my phone charged for a while after reaching the 100% mark, it stays at 100% even after 1 hour of heavy browsing and watching videos. I think we should all just assume that the battery meters are inaccurate.
I use juice defender and put my brightness setting on auto and I can literally go all day with "abusing" my phone.

let the phone die, to the maximus. meaning once it turns off, turn on again until it doesnt turn on anymore. Now fully charge it, once again when fully charged restart the phone and charge it to 100 again. then let it die again, and full charge. should be fine then
i bought a 3500mah extended battery for my phone. the battery is designed to work with vibrant. it really made my life a lot easier.
I noticed if I set the phone to GSM only, battery lasts almost twice as long. If I'm on auto select (WCDMA/GSM), it lasts from 7AM till about 4PM.
But then again, I don't have a very good 3G/4G reception (or 2G connection for that matter), so my phone is probably working extra hard to find signal all day long.
The new Bali Kernel has shown tremendous battery improvement on my phone. I'm really impressed.

Same here.
I used to only have dark wallpapers and take all the other extra steps for my battery to make it through the work day, and as soon as i got home i had to charge it.
I'm now running fireflies live wallpaper, abusing the phone a little more then what i used to, and i still have battery to spare, not by the time i get home, but by the time i go to bed!!
i also have installed bali. seems to do well, as said its all about the brightness.
My problem with this phone is that wifi uses way too much battery. I have it to turn off when phone is asleep but i'll have the phone at 100% with wifi on. Put it on sleep. 4 hours later. battery is at 65%.
If i have wifi turned off. Battery will be at 98%.
So far, I've owned 3 Android phone, and all of their battery sucked. I owned an Evo 4g, HTC Rezound, and I had 2 Galaxy S3's. Even with Extened battery, the battery won't last as long as an iPhone. And it doesn't stop here. It takes FOREVER to fully charge the battery only to find out that it gets depleted super fast. On the S3, I would be at 20% at the end of the school day, but with an iPhone, I end up around 60% with the same amount of use. The phones go up 1% after 5 minutes when plugged into a computer, and its annoying. I love Android with all my heart, but I can't deal with this problem. Anyone know of phone that has really good battery life (besides the MAXX)?
An iPhone's battery life is roughly the same in each iteration as a device from the Galaxy series. In fact it's been tested and the Galaxy S III lasted 6 hours and 55 minutes compared to the iPhone 5 which lasted 7 hours and 13 minutes. Both OS's implement battery management very well, and at the end of the day battery life is mainly dependent on user use. You can't expect an Android device to have numerous data hogging widgets as well as numerous background processes active, all while surfing the web with multiple windows open, and not drain just a little quicker than an iOS device that doesn't even utilize true multitasking. Please.
Also: It doesn't last as long as an iPhone "even with an extended battery?" GTFOH. Either your iPhone runs on nuclear material or you're full of sh**.
Why don't you use something like BetterBatteryStats and find out why the battery is being used ?
I get 3-4 hours of screen on time on my S3 with stock battery and kernel, but with some minimal battery-saving settings.
It used to be a lot worse - but I actually investigated and found out what was eating up the battery. I guess I could have just complained about it, but it was a lot faster to just work on finding a solution. I've been really impressed with how long my battery has been lasting lately - and it didn't take all that long to just read the BBS report and make changes.

In my words, its actually depend on your uses. Now a days we have 4"- 5" screen, where lots of processes are running in background. Using Dual Led Flash light for camera & having lots of Games,applications & files. We were used to have phone like NOKIA & BB. Where we just clicked over a button & thats all. But now when You click on screen, whole screen has to be work.
But yes, Few companies has taken it hard & Provided battery like MOTO MAXX.. also few have kernel bugs. So, it totally depend on you buddy, how you take it. Use data connectivity less & check whether your phone is going to Deep sleep / other name as per phone is going or not.
Be realistic with the brightness, keep it on auto don't run it at 100%. Try different ROMs with tweaks. Adjust settings with kernels for a faster battery recharge. Your options are infinte. Maybe android isn't for you.

There's an official Google statement that wiping batterie stats won't improve your battery life.
Wiping the stats forces android to recalibrate and calculate the battery stats.

Do you mean the time for one or both batteries ?
I get 3-4 on stock battery - but I always have my screen on the lowest brightness - and sometimes lower (using the Screen Filter app). I'm inside most of the time, so I don't need a very bright screen.
The only time I really lose battery like crazy is if I'm playing Ingress - because then I need to turn the brightness up and GPS is constantly updating so it's not exactly unexpected.

I got my Nexus 5 on Monday and have been pretty happy with it so far. Today was the first day I actually had to be away from WiFi for the day and the battery life has stunned me with how poor it has been. I haven't seen battery drop so fast since I had my Desire HD. I took it off charge about 9am and at just after 8pm as I type this I'm down to 10% with under 2 hours screen on time. 100% to 10% in around 10 hours with less than 2 hours screen use.
Has anyone else had this poor battery life? I'm going to let it run down completely, install GSam and see if it happens again but from what I've read on a few reviews (The Verge was the main one) this seems to be almost normal. I would be unhappy with battery life this bad after two years, not two days.

The good battery apps like BBS are broken on KitKat.
But your battery life is not normal. Mine is quite good, about what I would expect. For reference, my GS3 would use 0.2-0.4% per hour while idling during the night. I can't get real numbers or monitor wakelocks on this phone yet. But so far, seems at least somewhat similar to that.
Use Greenify.

A brief summary of my brief usage. I haven't played any games at all since I got the phone and the only usage has been social network apps and very light browsing of around <20 minutes. Oh and I made a call that lasted around 15 seconds. Everything else is stock setup. I have unlocked the bootloader but I did that prior to setting it up due to it wiping everything in the process.
Basically I've used it as much as I'd use my Nexus 4 and that wouldn't see so much as a 30% drain by now. The only thing that I am looking at as a possible cause is that the phone defaults to wanting 4G only. I'm not on a 4G plan or in a 4G area but even with that Mobile Standby is only showing 4% battery use. Suffice to say I switched that to 3G when I saw it just before posting. As I said, I'm going to drain it completely then charge to full and watch it very closely but I wanted to get thoughts while I waited.
I have contacted Google to see if there are any known issues that have popped up but the response I got just suggests turning off practically everything! Why would I opt for a powerful phone just to turn off sync, location services and anything that makes it a smartphone? The baffling one to me is suggesting I switch to AIRPLANE mode if I'm not near WiFi! I didn't buy a WiFi only tablet, I bought a phone!
"If you know you won’t be near a mobile or Wi-Fi network for a while, switch to Airplane mode"
I have been very pleasantly surprised with the battery life with my Nexus 5, I have noticed however that Google Location service likes to use battery power, more importantly - GPS - way too much..
However, I leave it on and even still it easily lasts me a day of use, with around 30-40% left depending on how much I use it.
What are your highest apps in the battery use screen?
Try turning off Google location services.
I am really pleased with battery life. Around 30-40 % left at end of day.

I saw similar with the Nexus 4 but refused to switch off location services and it seems ok. I've attached screenshots just taken. It seems I was a little off with my browsing estimate which shows 36 minutes in Chrome but still hardly astronomical.
OK so far the general opinion seems to be that it's just me. That helps me eliminate the phone and / or battery just being awful so thanks guys.
I'm at near 11 hours and am at 69%.. with an hour screen time. Not great but it easily gets me through the day. By the time I plug it in tonight it will probably have 20-30% and 3 maybe 4 hours of OST. That's more than enough for me
I should mention I have location off.. and only turn it on if I'm going to use the GPS
I also have Google Now off I don't need those flash cards to tell me how long it's going to take me to get home.. it's useful sometimes but I rarely look at em.
I'm pleased with my battery so far.. for the super heavy user they definitely wouldn't get a day.. but for me I'll get it easily.
its been pretty terrible for me with identical setups as other devices.
it has me seriously contemplating going back to my htc one. overall i do love the phone tho so hopefully I get a better idea when betterbatterystats is updated.
Few things with battery thats annoying me is google services kill this phone worse than any other ive owned. Even with google now disabled and location disabled. Also my daily drive to work I always use waze w/ screen on. With my other phones (htc one / n4 / iphone 5) i generally lose between 10-15% battery. On this phone im easily losing 25%.
I have access to charging so not a huge deal for now. Its a new os update so maybe it will get ironed out.

you are forgetting you are having a full HD and quad core phone now.
Ahh you got that google services bug eh.. that will kill any battery
Despite not wanting to I did a factory reset and installed a handful of apps, nothing that should cause issues anyway. When I got to Twitter though just after installing I noticed two warning notifications crop up that I remember just dismissing without thinking last time.
com.google.android.gsf.login
com.google.android.calendar
Both state they need installation of Google Play Services. I've ignored them for now so it'll be interesting to see if they have anything to do with it. I know the screen is going to be using more battery than I'm used to when it's on and notice that in battery use it's just everything else.
Friday will be the ultimate test of sorts. I've disabled WiFi, I'm charging it up and have disabled a few location things I don't care about. If it goes down hard again then it's going back.

I don't think what you're getting is that out of the ordinary. Between screen time and cell reception (the largest contributors to battery life) you could easily be seeing 'normal' battery life.
Don't expect more than 3.5 hrs of screen time, especially if you have reception issues when not on WIFI. And I'm talking 'normal' computer/dev/IT guy usage (e.g. using the phone as it's intended aka using google now, using one or two emails with push sync, using music services occasionally and sparingly during a day, NOT running in airplane mode, not disabling a crapload of smartphone features).
i read a lot of post before getting Nexus 5 last year during summer about his terrible battery life
when i got the phone i could still run a normal day usage
i was reading this article and i add in "PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark" a nexus 5 and the result is
S6 7:14
Nexus 5 4:50
PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Batt...flagships-stack-up-against-each-other_id70173
not sure if this is realistic or many users has tons of app that drain S6, but if S6 has 25% more battery life that Nexus 5 i would say that is not that bad
Battery Life on the Galaxy S6 is about average at worse... but it is good... right now I have 10h 30m off charger and 2h 38m screen on time and 49% left... people just say that because it has the most powerful processor and best display on the market but the second smallest battery on any flagship... but it is more than numbers you know... and I have to say this thing charges incredibly fast... Dead to 100% in an hour and sometimes even less...
Battery is at most acceptable for daily use.
Acceptable, but not an issue because it goes from 40% to full so darned quick!
I have no idea how folks get such good SOT. I have never gotten more then three hours on any device. Some of that is that I have bad vision and I like it at least halfway to full brightness. I also have a great aversion to turning off any features. I paid to have a full featured smartphone, not a gimp!

the only way to compare battery performance of different phones is to do a maximum screen on time test with a comparable brightness,everything else just compares software wakelock bugs, most caused by 3rd party apps at that

I have mostly everything on except NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (only on when I need them) and I have brightness always either 50+ percent or 100 percent and get 5 hours SOT every single day. I do stream about an hour a day music through bluetooth and 4g to my car, and the usual, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera use, Texts, hour os so of calls. The phone lasts a full day.
The only reason this phone will have lower than 5 hours screen time is if you're using your camera, sat nav software, or games all day.

Camera! I'm always shooting... I do use bluetooth a lot, but that doesn't appear to drain it much. I also turn my brightness all the way up if I'm shooting outside. I hear that Samsung has research going that could double battery capacity, but it's a little way off. That would be wonderful. Until then, I am happy to be able to recharge so fast...
It's not great but good (enough?) (and perhaps pretty damn good regarding the battery size), and indeed charges hella fast. I came from the Z3 which lasted very long though so I might be spoiled...
I actually achieved 5hr SOT yesterday (and total usage of 2 days) but it depends so much on use. After recharging to 100% and using whatsapp a lot the battery drained a lot faster for example. Now at 35% remaining with 2:10h SOT (and whatsapp and google services being the top spenders).
But yeah
this fast charging is not going to kill the battery really fast?
The battery is ****. Very similar to the Nexus 5, if not a bit worse. I use my phone quite a lot during the day. From full charge at 7am, I get the 15% battery notice at about noon. I charge it using fast charger till it reaches about 45%.. By 5pm I'm getting the low battery notice again.
I had the G4 for a week. Nearly full day of use out of that thing with same usage patterns I have on the S6.
The battery life was designed as either a secondary device or for people with a boring social/work life.

I decided to keep mine because the build quality on the S6 is on par with the iPhone 6. I enjoyed the battery life in the G4 but didn't feel I got my money's worth in quality compared to the S6. The moment a higher capacity battery is released for the S6 is the moment I'll be completely content.

Battery is surely not the best. With email sync using MailDroid, I had to charge the phone twice within the day. I don't use Facebook app, so that's a saviour. I stopped using MailDroid and battery life improved.
My usage is low to moderate, and am always on 4G LTE. Last 3-4 days I'm charging at morning 8 AM to 100%, it comes down to around 45% at 9 PM. I switch off Data at night and battery stays constant (maybe 44%). But again, if I keep screen ON for a while, then the battery is gone!
Battery is about as good as the S4, but worse than the HTC m8. Overall, it's awful considering you cannot swap it out. Unless you don't use the phone much during the day, you will need to charge it overnight and then once more during the day minimum.
This is pretty damn good in my book...
About 30 min of real racing and 10 minutes cs portable... the rest is browsing texting and youtube... half LTE and half Wi-Fi. I also had location services running on high accuracy the whole time sucking up battery life
Is it normal that Google service is always that high?

This question is very difficult to answer, because everyone's usage is different. If everyone replied, you would get very confusing answers saying how good / bad / the same battery life is compared to some other unknown benchmark.
The answers would largely be useless because we don't know what you mostly or generally use your phone for, compared to how others use their devices...
Please apply this logic to all device / software / kernel / ROM combinations

The answers would largely be useless because we don't know what you mostly or generally use your phone for, compared to how others use their devices...
Please apply this logic to all device / software / kernel / ROM combinations
i mean what people do how is there experience heavy use to normal

Hi just wanted to share my battery life experiences with my nexus 5 so far as I have recently bought one and have had the phone nearly a month now. My last phone was the 1st gen moto g which is said to have pretty good battery life and the common theme for the nexus 5 is that is that is had bad battery life. In moss cases i am matching or beating my moto gs battery life with the same or harder use and ive been getting 4 hours + sot mainly and recently i have been getting 5 and half hours sot every day for over a week now.

So the above replies basically prove my point. How are they really useful for you?
- "Somewhat light user. 2:30SoT at most."
Exactly how does this user define "somewhat light" usage...and how does that even compare to how you use your phone...
- "4 hours + sot mainly and recently i have been getting 5 and half hours sot every day for over a week now"
Also doesn't say how they use their phone
SOT is a very crude approximation of battery life. Without context, comparisons are largely useless. You ask for 'heavy use to normal', but there is no definition of light / 'normal' / heavy use, because it varies so much depending on the user...
You could get hundreds more replies, all with different answers. Very few will be relevant to what you may or may not achieve if you bought and used the same phone.......
Right before I replaced my Nexus 5 with a Nexus 5X I was getting about 2 hours 30 minutes SOT with ~12 hours off charger at best on my Nexus 5.
That was good cell signal(either light green or dark green bar in battery details like 90% of the time), brightness at like 20%, wifi all but an hour a day, no games, no video(streaming or local), no music(streaming or local), no GPS, location on battery saving. only one Google account syncing with most options off and no Bluetooth. Pretty much just browsing and Facebook app to get that 2 hours 30 minutes. It was awful.
Nexus 5X now and I'm getting about 1 hour SOT more with about the same total time off charger which isn't much better than what my Nexus 5 got when it was brand new.
