So i searched on here to see what the battery life is like, most people are claiming 6 to 8 hours. I'm wondering what the battery life is like when used as an ereader. I know it wont replace my Kindle but whats the battery life like if say, I'm reading books, or comics on it? I guess worse case scenario I could always buy one of those external battery chargers for those long trips home.
This is regarding the 7" tablet by the way.
Well, I didn't get any feedback but, I'll buy picking one up regardless. I'll let you guys know what kind of battery life I get on this thing with just plain reading.
I have the 10.1, but I found that battery life can vary wildly. Turn the screen brightness up to max and play a game, and you'd get 3 hours max. But if you take brightness to 1/4 and read a web page, you should get at least 5 hrs.

On my 7" Tab 2 and mostly reading during the day, I could probably easily go 2 days between charges. My problem is the other stuff that I do between reading. Still even with that, I go a full day on one charge with no problem.
It really depends on your brightness and what's being displayed. I use fbreader and use dark mode. I can go days without recharging and usually hit about 5 h and 30 min on screen time. But that's with all my different use of videos, Chrome, games, etc. I would suppose that as a eBook reader and using power saving mode will net you a higher battery result.

One of the many advantages of "aftermarket" ROMs is that with modified kernel you get a good control over the performance. Besides being able to play with screen brightness, you can reduce the maximum CPU speed as well as adjust the CPU governor, and in some roms even lower the voltage. With this much control I can get very long battery life for low resource need activities like reading. I have many times used my Tab 2 7" between the US and Asia for 18-20 hours (actual flight time plus layover) with 1 single charge and arrived with 20-30% left in the battery.
You're probably going to get more battery time than you can stand to read straight through in one sitting. If you want to maximize it, use white fonts on a black background and turn off all radios (3g and or WiFi).

I use the lower brightness, about 30%, and the battery should last for 6-7 hrs screen on.
I use my tab mostly for browsing with wifi on.
I bought my nexus 5 couple of weeks ago and from the beginning I experienced a really poor battery life.
From the screenshot, please other nexus 5 users let me what do you think about this battery performance, is that normal ? When this screenshot is taken about 17% battery was remaining. Please suggest me how can I improve this battery performance.
I am using-
Stock rom
Rooted
Low brightness as possible

There's a proper sticky battery life troubleshooting thread for this, it will tell you how to troubleshoot your issues better, no need to open another thread . Please post more detailed screenshots over there
But looking at your 'usage', in your list you seem to have forgotten to add "played Hay Day for 2 hours"
So my simple suggestion to improve your battery performance: don't play Hay Day for 2 hours....

2 hours gaming + 2 hours SOT. Where is the problem?
Need to use Per App Modes to underclock CPU for your games to get more out of it.

SOT would be Screen On Time
I imagine what he means is that something like Tasker when said app liek a game is open it underclocks the cpu and then resets it back to normal when you leave the app.
This would stop the cpu being put to max all the time and thus using more power consuming more battery.

I'm still not sure what you'll gain out of posting there though, your battery statistics are very skewed, which is why you have a perception of 'poor' battery life...
It's like driving a car at 100mph with the windows open, the stereo loud with the air con on...and then wondering why the tank is empty and the fuel economy is so bad...
Or leaving all the house lights and appliances on all the time, and wondering why the electricity meter is increasing so quickly.
Playing a mobile game for two hours...........not much different...it makes the battery life look 'poor' by most standards...
In all three cases, it's how you use it which will define how much energy / battery is used. Basic laws of physics
the 'Normal usage' is impossible for any user to define as we're all different, but still I'm going to guess that most of us don't include 2 hours gaming in that statistic
What kind of battery are you currently running on? That may be contributing to the short battery life.

of course, its his battery!
no way it has anything to do with 2 hours of gaming(sarcasm)
seriously though..
Read the first 2 posts in the thread linked above by @eddiehk6
Lots of tips there.
But as others said....2 hours of gaming will make your battery drop like a rock.
There's things in that link that can help you squeak a little more out of your battery....but gaming is the worst thing you can do to your battery life. Nothing you can do about it....except not play. So, keep the screen dimmer....and keep your charger handy.

I find my Z3's battery life not that impressive as critically acclaimed. A lot of people have posted their battery estimated time to be two days or more but for me, even after cycling the battery from 100% to 1% twice I still only get 1 day and a couple of hours more. For sure I can make it through one day with probably a lot left but I'm sure not a heavy user. Dumb ways to die 2, crossy road and wordament are the only games I play and they aren't even that big of games. I don't play them much either, maximum of 2 hours combined in a day. It says the screen takes up most of the battery consumption a but I usually just leave it on WhatsApp and do nothing. HOW??? AND WHY???

Do you really care about some dumb estimations? What is wrong with you all?! My Z3 works for ~2.5 days with like 2 h+ a day of PowerAmp at max volume , dropping to ~30 %... WiFi off (also not available for location, check that in wifi settings), location on precise settings (no wifi obviously), screen time 1-2 h. Projection is just a projection, why would you care? It just takes the average load, so if you turn it on after an hour of playing a game it will show a lower value...
exactly... want it to live a little longer? use the stamina mode.. (helps with screen off and some screen on battery life depending on how u configure stamina mode..)
all in all a very nice phone with a good battery capacity..
im starting to think 3000mAh should be the minimum/standard in every smartphone that comes after the Z3... u can seriously feel the difference compared to older phones with less battery capacity..
u need to learn how to use the phone without keeping an eye on the battery percentage.. im starting to get shocked when i hit 70-60% by the time im off to bed..
yes at days i get down to less than 10% but without keeping an eye on the battery percentage its living longer...
stamina mode on 24/7 , 3g/4g on 24/7 (no wifi) , auto sync on, whatsapp,instagram, twitter and 2 bbms sucking my battery but nothing this beast cant handle
by the end of the day im at whatever percent ... and sot between 2-7 hours ..
(not bragging but i guess i wont need bbs/amplify/greenify/bmw... with how the stock rom is working)
Well gaming will ramp up the CPU clocks/voltage so lower SOT would be expected.

Not sure why he doesn't realize this.... Screen on for 2 hours playing a game is going to use your battery.
I'm having the same issue as OP. Been through around 5 charge cycles so far. I don't play any games at all. Main usage is for WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, a bit of camera use and general web browsing. It's usually an even split between being on WiFi and 3G through the day.
I've had the phone for a week and my battery usually lasts around 28 hours (30 max) with around 4 hours of SOT, (with stamina enabled from 50% down) which I'm kinda disappointed by, given how everyone I see on forums posts great stats of 7-8 hours SOT. (Beats the crap out of what my old Nexus 5 was giving me, but still - bought the phone because I didn't want to think about my battery anymore)
Don't know if I just have a defective battery or I'm doing something wrong, but does anyone have any tips, or anything in particular that you do to ensure your battery lasts two days?
I read that the Facebook app is a bit of a hog, but I don't see any flags under the battery usage page, or any warnings in the section that monitors which apps are power hungry. Going to uninstall it and see if it makes a difference. That apart, my screen brightness is usually set at around 35% (with adaptive brightness on) Any other suggestions would be very welcome
Thanks!
Hello ..
I am getting amazing battery life since I got 6.0 .. Before with lollipop I used to get around 5 hours on screen time. Amazingly though I hit 6.30 hours on the first day after update, and this with wireless, mobile data and Bluetooth on. And no data saving and screen on 70% which is amazing.
Good job Motorola
Excellent I would say
Excellent batt life with this new update very impressive how a software help the hardware to accomplish that task.
I replaced my STYLE and got a new one two days back. The old one would be dead even though it has 80%+ battery.
The current one is pretty good compared with the old unit. I got 4+ hours of SOT and I was on 4G and WiFi all the time. Was using it heavily for browsing and chat.

This is not bad at all. What I am saying is after MM update battery life increased about 1.5 hours extra SOT
Perhaps the update fixed something else? Looking at the MM update from L, there appears to be nothing besides Doze, which only works when the device is still and not used. I notice perhaps 15% better battery life if using the device sporadically during the day (medium use for me). With heavier use, I notice zero difference so far.
I was hoping some kernel adjustments were made, but the device spikes with heat about the same. I first thought it was less, but notice the same apps get the device very warm to hot (the GPU is over it's head with 1440p). Standby time is a lot better though, but only a significant improvement if lighter use though the day (so Doze can be a factor).
Usage is relative only to the user though
How do you get such great battery performance? I barely manage to get 3 hours SOT.
When the device is idle there's no drain, i only lose 2-3% overnight. But when the device is active the battery drains very quickly.
Tried a lot of battery saving stuff, greenify, powernap, and so on, but no luck.
I'm on MM stock rooted. Having a lot of apps installed. May this be the culprit?

If 20% brightness or less, all you do is web surf and a little Youtube, with good LTE signal or wifi and VERY little use of apps that force the GPU to push 1440p, you can get five hours. Everything is relative to the user. That's it.
Counting stock apps, I have 395 apps and 5GB free (64GB model). based on MM battery report, I have no apps that are background battery demons.

Are you talking just 1440p video in general or are you talking 1440p games?
I'm lucky if I get 2 hours of SoT. I can't tell if Android Wear is eating my battery or if it's Sprint, despite having a decent signal. Bluetooth and Cell Standby are chewing up the majority of my battery power. I think the network management is trying to shuffle my phone between their three frequencies and while at work, I can only get on the 1900MHz PCS band due to having to use a repeater.

Some games and apps run at 1440p and choke the GPU. They stand out by running very warm to hot and drain the battery more quickly.

Yes the apps do drain battery.
I uninstalled one particular email app that alone would drain 6% daily!
Anyway this time I got is without gaming. Mostly chatting and browsing and a lot of movies (vlc). I think that day I watched not less than 3-4 hours of continuous movies on the phone.
The only thing I did differently than before is removing unnecessary app permissions and notifications. Other than that I have done nothing. Like I said I do not try to save battery because I always have power source near by, but this 6.30 hours SOT i s awesome I tell you.
Based on my little experience with Android some apps will screw up the phone for no reason. First time I got the phone I got around 3 hours SOT with so many unneeded apps, and I did not know which app is draining my battery so I formatted the phone, and started installing apps one by one and watching the battery. And I managed to hit 4-5 hours with lollipop. Now with the update I got this and I was shocked.
Fully back to stock, unrooted, bootlocker relocked.
Upgraded to MM via OTA.
Installed all my apps via Play Store. Until now, i always restored my apps via TiBu, including data/settings.
I'm curious if my battery life will improve.
Will post the outcome, if any
Cheers!
A lot of the time my phone is just sitting on my desk. It used to say I would get around 1-2 days battery life from it sitting there doing nothing. After MM it says there is 8 days left. I have had it unplugged all day and even with some moderate use I am only at 95%. The doze mode really makes a big impact in stand by times!

I think it did do something to the apps. The way you can block apps from getting access to location or other services is pretty impressive. I love that as I hated that apps would have access to everything on my phone and I cannot do anything about it. Now I can and this particular feature made me love Android even more after I switched two months back.
Is there something wrong with me. I only get 2 to 2 1/2 hours battery tops and actually I've tried amplify (paid version), and power nap and they don't seem to help much. I have only got 3 hours once since I got this phone. Is it just AT&T maybe?
I'd like to mention something else. Probably not related at all, but ..
My old MXS was a faulty unit (as I mentioned in my previous post). Once I got a new replacement, I have not yet charged the phone using Turbo Charger. I am charging it with Mi Pad charger (non-turbo). Yes, it took about 2+ hours to go from 30 to 100%.
Old MXS was always charged with turbo charger and I was getting pretty bad SOT and the baterry would drain as fast as it would charge. Does it have to do something with using a normal vs turbo charger?
I stop pretty much all background services and apps not in use. The only active applications are firefox, whatsapp and VLC.
My screen is set to 50% brightness with adaptive brightness ON. Moto X display and attentive display is ON.
Non-root (planning to root soon) and Moto ROM.

Less than 3 hours is not good bro, really anything below 4 hours is just bad. You better figure out what is draining your battery, or maybe it Is a bad unit?

what difference does it make if it is charged slowly or not??
It should not matter, if the battery is not keeping the power that means it is defective, nothing to do with slow or fast charging.
So I want to know if you all have similar experiences..
I have Galaxy S9+ 128 GB Exynos Version - ALL STOCK
The screen on continuous use battery consumption is very good... it drains 13.5-14.5% per hour at max with location, 4G on.... Which means it can get to around 7 Hrs of Screen-on time easily.... even more if we use low powered media apps like youtube, netflix etc....
However, the screen off battery drain is relatively high...
A standard day has around 10-12 hours of standby time when you are out and moving with 4G on all the time and 1-2 hours of music... and in that time the might drain up to 35%+.... Limiting the screen-on time to around 4:30 hours... The deep sleep percentage of the total screen off time is around 65% which is no so great....
This is without using Power saving modes...
So the battery life gets around 7/10 for me.... It is good enough and for 90% of the days it will last the full day.... just not as comfortably as I might have hoped..
On my Galaxy S6 I used apps like Forcedoze, turned off sync, location, 4G, haptic feedback, unused apps, and I could squeeze livable battery life out of it... I am sure that if I did the same with the S9 the phone would have 2 day battery life.... but the out of the box battery life of the phone is average...
So I recommend turning off 4G when not in use and use Power saving mode once you hit 35%.... this way you can easily get through the longest days on a single charge....
The phone needs improvement to its stand by time....

I think that a lot has been said about this topic, and in the end, the user is the only one to blame for the battery life, because there are a lot of things that can impact battery: location, apps, usage, signal, etc.
Is hard to do an objective and good analysis of battery life, because each user will put their own subjective thoughts. For me battery can be great, and for others can be awful.
Is true that 4G will consume more battery, but only if you are in an area when signal is weak, otherwise, in most cases it will have the same drain or even less, because with faster speed, the modem works less and the impact is less as well in battery.
Power saving mode is going to save you some juice in case you cap all the options to the minimum, but honestly, who wants to run an S9+ with an HD resolution?, and the brightness and CPU cap don't give you much more battery either, and I found it stops the sync of some apps, but not others.
I think that the only real way to improve your battery is to properly configure your device, set the proper permissions for every setting and app, and then use the "Energy Monitor" built in app to let which apps can be running in background and which don't. Doing this will improve battery by miles.

The whole thing has to be intuitive though... having to tweak 200 settings in the phone to get better experience is not part of the experience... experience is the stock default usage with some minimal tweaking... This is the reliable battery life I can get without breaking any service in the phone because I might have to analyze the effects of every option I change or turn off..

Is partially true what you say: if you get a Samsung, is because you know you will have all those options and most probably you will have to make the proper changes. We all know that Samsung phones usually offer ton of features and options, but if you don't configure them, probably they will mess a little the battery because most of them will come enabled and will have an impact in battery life.
On the other hand, if you want just the basics and a simple experience, you should stick with Android stock or closer.
Is like buying a Ferrari, but then complain about fuel consumption.

Now with that said, I think Samsung puts an unrealistic expectation on the battery and continues to misinform users with fake data. They should be a bit more realistic, really, 20 hours of Video Playback? They forget to tell you that is more than likely at the lowest resolution, with the screen brightness turned all the way down, with the device in airplane mode.
I don't think this phone will get anywhere near those battery hours. I also think we should expect at least 1 full day of HEAVY use. This is a flagship phone.
Now... All said and done... I get decent battery life, I cant complain. However, I do think it should get better battery life. This cost as much as my Dell Gaming Laptop.

So what should I disable?

Just disable everything what you don't use and set up the battery monitor for your apps and you will be good.

I completely disagree... These are the specs from the Samsung Website, not my own:

Well, car manufacturers do the same when they advertised they cars to give 5L/100Km, but we all know that in order to achieve those, you should drive in very specific conditions. The same applies here as well.
And yes, I also have great battery life in my S9+ and I can't complain at all.

These numbers are lab tests under controlled conditions... by no way they represent real life usage...
My S9+ has had an appalling battery life and i have no clue what to do about it.
Apologies for the second post. It was done by mistake and now i can't remove it ...
What is really bad is the network reception.
Most time of the day I have bad or almost no coverage.
No matter what phone I had had they all had average battery life.
So for anyone who has bad battery life take a look at this.
But this is just one cause.
I've got my S9+ for about a week now. Snapdragon version with dual SIM.
So far I finding the battery life a little disappointing. Using betterbatterylife with the ADB commands I getting around 4,5 ~ 5 % / h of very light use (essentially stand by).
I've turned everything off, from Google Assistant to bixby to others Samsung services and still I think it's drainibg too fast.

Can't agree more. Samsung has been consistently misinformative about battery endurance data since the first gen Galaxy S I9000 . "S" series never had good batterylife anyways.(keeping sweet Exynos S7 Edge aside when new).
