99% after ten hours. Went out of the country and didn't have to charge once. You want to save juice? Just put the phone in airplane mode.

i dont really believe the androids built in battery measure.

Maybe a number on how much time the screen was powered on, for reference?

Reboot the phone and watch it drop to 50%

That's why I never restart the phone unless I'm near an charger.

lol...but actually that doesn't matter...it doesnt drain a lot rebooting...it just refreshes the battery stats to show the real value. his phone is saying it's at 99%, but I can assure you it's much much lower than that

Probably was lower than 99%, but it did last a good four days without needing to be charged (in airplane mode the whole time).

99% after 9 hours of battery use, yep i have to agree with you scotsman, it is much lower than that

WiFi can certainly be a hog, as can be GSM signal - especially if it's a weak signal. Display will drain if you keep the display on a LOT(!) - but otherwise that's why you see a lot of folks recommend to turn off WiFi or BT if you're not using 'em.

Wow what a great idea put the PHONE in airplane mode Hello? its a phone people were using them to call and/or text each other.
Want to save gas? Dont drive , just sit in your car and listen to music

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all in advance. No matter if it sucks battery I would prefer to use my phone and keep a charger with me every time. But one should enjoy the features to the full.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7" running hot, ROM issue?

Hey XDA!
As a brand new Galaxy Tab user and first-time tablet owner I have a few questions about heat-development and battery-usage, but here is a bit info first:
Model: Galaxy Tab 2 7" 3110 Wi-Fi only
ROM: Jelly Bean 4.1.1 P3113UECLI4 from this XDA thread
Launcher: GO Launcher EX (not HD)
Notable Root applications: Beats! Audio-driver and "Fullscreen" to hide the navigation bar, both from the market
Screen: At permanent 70% brightness
Other: Background sync is off, all widgets are set to refresh between 1-3 hours only
I think this should cover it I hope. I'm not really used to tablets as like said the GTab 2 is my first tablet so I have not much to compare it to but I wonder if it's normal that the device gets pretty warm on the back while just browsing the web and using TuneIn Radio? That's all I did yesterday night and after about 10-15 minutes I didn't found it too hot to touch but it was still slightly uncomfortable :/
The battery-life also doesn't seem to be the greatest as it seems to actually drain power from the battery when plugged in to a regular USB 2.0 port. I understand that tablets can't charge from USB 2.0 unless they are in deep-sleep though is it normal that they actually drain power? o.o I can see my percentage drop by 1% every 3-10 minutes depending on what I'm doing while connected to my PC, though it charges fine if I let it go into deep-sleep...
And to finish this post, here are two screenshots of my battery information:

70% brightness? that explains a lot about battery drain...

Ehehe well I guess I'm just used to a bright screen from my iPhone 4, since I disabled all background things I don't need my iPhone 4 lasts me about 3-4 days without a charge at 75% perma-brightness and doesn't get hot unless I forget to lock it and fall asleep^^; I dropped the GTabs brightness to 50-55% now and enabled CPU power-saving, things seem better but I will report in a few hours for more accurate results

[Q] Battery life

Can you guys try this?
Set your screen to auto brightness.
Use your phone - web browsing. Now take note of your battery percentage (I use battery dr. so the percentage is on the top of the screen).
When the percentage changes - start timing. Browse primarily white web pages (news etc...).
Time how long before the percentage changes.
Mine is somewhere around 3 minutes (or slightly less). That makes it run around 5 hours (300/60) if it's consistent.
Is this what you guys are getting??? I just put in a new battery and to be honest it seems just like the older battery.
Thanks!!!!

I seem to be consuming 25% of battery in a hour of web browsing (stock battery). So, if you've upgraded to the 2100 mAh One X's battery, everything looks correct.

Thank you. I can't believe how fast this phone burns through the battery. GPS is a killer drain too.
Amazing how many programs start running as well without starting them (Battery Doctor shows me apps using battery).
Oh well.

You have the 2100 mAh battery, don't you?
Yes browsing drains the battery pretty fast. This happens on every smartphone,.though.
About the thousands apps automatically starting, most of them don't drain anything at all, it's not their fault.

try to change browser

No, I have a brand new OEM battery. I'm not sure but I think it's due to the AMOLED screen which just burns through battery when displaying white.
Not every phone burns through battery this fast. The One S is one of the worst. See this pict:

Phone Gets Warm (even hot) in Pocket!?

Hello all! Recently got my Verizon Pixel and every time I put it in my pocket or use it, it randomly starts to warm up and gets uncomfortably hot. Is this supposed to be happening? Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

What apps do you have running, have you checked your battery stats and see what's running that could be causing this? Do you perhaps have a bad signal in your area?

I do not believe that it is any one app or background process causing this since the battery stats say that the Android system is what mostly drains the battery (along with the screen). In terms of signal, I do have somewhat weak connection here and there at the University. However when I go off campus, it also begins to get quite warm in the pocket.

I have quite the opposite. In fact, I've been crazy impressed with the lack of warmth during intense operations.

I've been having that same issue. I have the smaller Pixel. Usually rebooting seems to fixed whatever it is. But it's still a little disconcerting.

I have had another model of a smartphone couple of years ago and there were the reports of this phone getting hot when it was in the pocket. It turned out to be some sort of a health app that was running and sensors were active measuring stuff. Few other users chimed in confirming the issue, but my phone(same model as theirs) didn't have that issue. It was because after getting the phone, I disable all the app that I am not interested in. I believe it was a Samsung model, possibly their Galaxy line.

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the OnePlus 5's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I live in fear that Google will pass me some #@!$%* Google Play Services, or some other update, that will tank this phone's endurance. So far, though, my OnePlus 5 has exhibited great battery performance.

This was from a few weeks ago, few hours of data surfing web at work. The rest on wifi at home, using reading mode for most if that:

Light and heavy use endurance are both awesome, even though standby drain is quite bad. Why the hell the device is kept awake for such a long time? BBS and co. don't bring light into darkness as well, nothing really special here....

Easy !
If he works, can't play with the phone. If he got kids, can't play with the phone that much.
If you make some calls per day, few SMS, some email, baterry will last for days. If you close the phone at night even more. You can reach a week. I know. I did.
