Just going to start this by putting up these screen shots. After the first charge to%100. Watching Star Trek TNG on Amazon video. Listening through headphones, over WiFi. Sync on half the time.
Got the phone yesterday afternoon and am loving it!
Honorable mention:
Even after updates my G4 often had weird screen issues while typing. Especially while swyping. None here
Not the greatest battery I have seen android do. Given its lg and 3000 I will forgive it lol. With 1hr music 1.5hr Skype call and mild gaming. For some reason having an sd card again is making me download music and listen to them [emoji23]

Tell me about it. Add to that the extra battery promotion and that 200gb sd card and my forgiveness seems to grow a bit more! Lol
Not too shabby, though, methinks.
SideNote :
I wonder why it's so much smoother than the G4. I mean days ahead. That extra gig of ram make the difference? Who knows
I had gps running four 5 plus hours. Out in an area that had very little internet. Phone was trying to connect for several hours. And still got 5 hours screen on. This is doing almost a good a my note 2 with the mugen extended battery. Not quite. But close enough

Damn, whats your setting? Did you charge in between? o.o
Awesome so far... My G3 is not there and it's tempermental. I would hope that one battery is enough to last a whole day, but with the promotion AT&T is doing, it won't be long until the second battery is in my hands and it won't matter at all. I do love that! So far the shots look great, and as most people get their devices settled in it will really show it's true colors... For the second day that's pretty good in my book. SoT over 4 is aces these days with all these screens coming in at over 5...
On second charge.

The promotion is what made me not care. $175 worth of kit?! Yes please! But now having it and getting over 4 hours SOT, I'm very satisfied. Also, you hit the nail on the head. TWO screens, six inches of it, and over 4 HOURS SOT.... I'll take it!
If you look at the notes five forums you will see that to begin with everyone was complaining about battery life, however after short time everybody calmed down after the battery settled down. Has been the same with every device I have ever owned. Battery life takes a few days to reach efficiency.

Only seeing really is screen see to auto brightness . other than that I'm just using the phone. Nothing special.
I'm getting about 4 hours with Waze, screen at around 20-30 brightness, sync and data on. Standby time is awesome. On my first charge for example, I got 4 hours minimal use from 8%!! That was on wifi though and since it was first charge, it's not very objective info.
My phone is not going into deep sleep worth a damn. It almost seems like it is Bluetooth related (I leave BT on 24/7 - haven't had a problem in previous devices). Once I shut off BT, it seems to be sleeping, but I need to test it more. The phone isn't connected to anything. I just leave BT idling for when I get into my car basically... don't like having to turn it on/off, just like WiFi. Battery stats are showing that Android System is what is staying awake though, and not BT. Anyone else having a problem like this?
I get just ok battery life. Seems better than my G4(which I only had for 5 days. Still my Nexus 6 and old Note 5 seemed to be a lot better

Innocell 3000mAh Extended Life Battery
It has been quite some time now since this was announced, is anyone else as anxious as I am? Hopefully when it is released we will start seeing different battery covers coming out. Just thought I would get some other people's input.

I couldn't care less. I get 24+ hours on my battery now, with chargers in everyplace I frequent throughout the day and a spare charger in my laptop bag for those emergency moments.
I seriously doubt you really use your phone very much. The only time I got 24 hours out of my battery was when it sat unused an entire day.
For the rest of us that actually want to use a smartphone that isn't crippled, this extended life battery is a huge deal. So yes, OP, I check their website every week to see if I somehow missed the announcement. I can't wait!

x2, atleast i'm not the only one that knows how to manage their cell phone battery life.
Right now i'm sitting at 80% with 3h 52m on, time without signal at 1%, screen on time of 16 minutes voice calls of 7 minutes, and I've been listening to music on my phone from the SDcard for about 20 minutes.
If you actually take the time to set up your phone correctly, you can save a ton of battery life. I use tasker to accomplish a majority of these tasks. For instance, when angry birds is being played i have the phone automatically adjust the brightness to a slightly higher level and i have it turn off the data connections and wifi. Then when i exit it returns the phone to the state it was in before angry birds. I have a ton of these profiles set up.
how many people will take the time for that?
also are you running a custom kernel?

Phoenix 1.43 right now. And it takes a few minutes to set pretty much everything up. I just set them up as I need them.
Battery life isn't the worst, but for me its inconsistant. One day I will make trough a day, next day ill get half.
I know it will get better with froyo and updated kernals and roms.
The touch pro 2 had great battery, I always had gps on and palringo going and didn't have to worry about battery.
The other day I was in vegas taking pics with some random person, I was able to take one, while trying to take another

I had the same issue. I found that it was something causing the battery not to go to sleep. For me, the music player (Fascinate one from EE rom) would start CorePlayerServices which would run and not allow the phone to sleep. As long as that service is running, my phone wasn't sleeping correctly. There are other things that cause this not sleeping problem as well, but that is the only one I have identified personally.

You are misunderstanding the reasons why I want this battery. Yes I could set up my phone to last for a whole day no problem, but that would severely limit the amount of time that I spend on it and the purpose for which I use it so often. I am constantly testing and flashing new zips over and over and over, which will drain the battery tremendously as it is. Testing a 32 x 32 icon on a 480x800 screen is straining on the eyes when the brightness is turned all the way down, so that must be up to see the fine details of images that I have edited.
I understand that it is completely possible to make my phone last much longer than it currently is, but taking the steps necessary to do so would thus render it useless for the tasks that I am trying to accomplish. I live off of my phone because I can and choose to do so, it is my hobby to develop custom themes/ROMs for the Epic and I don't plan on stopping just to have my battery life last 2x longer.
When this comes out it will mean the difference between being able to do whatever I want on my phone for 8-10 hours under very heavy use and only being able to make it last for less than 6 hours. IMO this is significantly to my advantage.
what is med usage to you?
This is pretty dumb and could be just me but ill put it out there anyway. My drive to work is about an hour each day. From the time I wake up and get to work its about an hour and a half. My phone would be fully charged when I left my house and end up mid 90s when I get your my job. Maybe low 90s on some days depending on how much traffic there is. When I get to work, my phone seems to die pretty quickly. My job is pretty boring atm so I am on my phone a lot.
Next though. My phone is unplugged for about 20 minutes before I get in my car. Always goes down at least 2 or more percent in that time. But now lately I've been using my car charger on the way to work. Get it fully juiced again even from such a little drain and sometimes it seems like I get double the time from that extra charge. I use the charger it came with at home and bought like a $10 car one from amazon.
There's no proof to what I said but it's been helping me. I was on synergy the past few weeks and just switched to team insomnia last night. Hope this helps someone
I have no idead what that your are trying to say. Switching roms helped you? Or a different charger?
I know what your talking about and I have the same experience just with the home charger, ever since I figured this out I always charge my phone at night and before bed around midnight or 1-2 a.m. I unplug it. I wake up at 9:30-10 I have about a 4% drop of charge and put the phone back on the charger till the phone says charged. Like this I have 3h screen on time with about 1-1.5h talking time. also I stream a lot of music from grooveshark/soundcloud/sirius xm and also use google music..lot of gtalk and video talk with my wifey
try it out guys and see yourself. It really makes a hell of a difference.
EDIT: @aypeeootrek he's trying to say that the battery life is better if you charge the phone wait till a few % drops and charge it again till full. (that's what I understood)
I think that's called the trickle
GS3
Or bump charging. It worked with my Dinc too.

if you are in a low signal area (inside buildings or whatever) then switch to "power saving mode" in the drop down menu.
when out of those areas, switch off the power saver.
if you aren't getting 24 hours from a single charge, then you got apps/widgets sucking up way too much power.
Another choice is buying a second battery. That way if you run low, you just swap out and have another however many hours to play.

The power saving setting really only helps when you are actively using your phone. Having it on or off with more or less be the same when it is idle. And if you get over 24 hours I could easily say you dont use your phone. A better way to judge battery life is by screen on time.

24 hours? I've only got that once and I was in a 4g area and didn't touch my phone for 95% of the time. I live in a 3g area and have did almost everything to improve life. I love the days when I get 16 hours. I have definitely found that low signal is hard on this phone battery.

Ya, I am finding a lot of silly statements like the one you were talking about. Everyone seems to have an outstanding WHBL (when hit by lightning) story of how utterly amazing their battery life is, but can't show the rest of the world how they do it. What saves my battery life? I carry an external 5000mA external battery I can just throw on the phone when I am not near a charger. Another trick, I took the battery % off of my screen. Seeing the exact amount really showed me, almost too exactly, how bad the battery life is on this phone. I have felt the same way about other phones before tho, once the Jelly Bean update comes out, which, hopefully, Samsung is probably waiting to release until the iPhone comes out, will fix all of these problems.
So you bump charge it?

The post below yours summed it up pretty well
Sounds like you need a hug，good luck.
I'm about to get a Galaxy S III on Monday, I do need to get an extra battery simply because I always like having a backup battery. Do all versions of the SIII use the same battery? I know when I switched from Verizon Nexus to GSM Nexus I had to buy different batteries for the GSM one.
And yes I'm getting a Verizon S III, I switched my Nexus to the GSM because Verizon killed the Nexus experience for me, but I still have the line so I figured may as well get it updated.
I have never had a battery be this good. Rooted with Greenify. Running Skyfall.
Kinda ridiculous. 16 hours and 60% full over here on just regular power save mode....SkyFall also
Yeah this phone gets way better battery life than my s4 did with same size battery. Love it. Does greenify really work that well? I have never used it as I have great battery life without it.

Lots of reviewers are talking about how the M8's battery lasted longer than the S5 too. Samsung needs to stop slacking on the software and give us a lightweight touchwiz. I absolutely love Sense 6 and I'm usually an AOSP guy. I'll probably try out GPE Roms once they're stable but honestly the new sense is everything I want out of android software. Minimal, clean, customizable, smooth and fast.

Don't get me wrong, I'm getting great battery life as well (though coming from a VZW GNex, anything would be an improvement). However...posting screenshots of how long your device has been off the charger with no other information (screen on time, app battery use) doesn't tell us anything.
Hell, I could leave my phone at home on wifi with the screen off and not touch it for the next 3 days, take a screenshot of any remaining battery life, and post it being like "OMG I got 3 days of battery life, this is amazing!" And it would be just about as informative and truthful as your screenshots (not including yours Evocm7, obviously).

I hear what you're saying. Personally, I'm not trying to participate in any scientific study on the matter. All I know, and all I care, is that I've had the phone off charge for 29 hours now... using it the way I normally use it during an average day ( pretty light)... and I'm still at 40% battery.
Coming from a malfunctioning POS Droid Charge this phone is a godsend. I used to have to carry an extra battery just to get through an 8 hour shift at work starting on a full charge.

lol I came from a GNex, so we're probably in the same boat. Even on wifi with extremely minimal use (10-15m screen time all day, which with how slow and laggy it was I didn't really care)), I would be down into the 60%'s by bedtime. If I went to the gym with full battery, after listening to Pandora while doing weights, and watching Netflix during cardio, it would be into 20-30% by the time I left, total of maybe 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
I flashed Skyfall the other day after charging my phone to full, and by the time I was done flashing, re-installing everything from TiBu, updating a few out-of date apps, and setting everything up, it was down to maybe 95%. And that was with the screen on for probably 20 minutes straight.

I think taking into consideration the snapdragon 801 chip how it saves battery, sense 6 being light weight, if one needs to you have the choices of battery save mode and if that's not enough extreme battery save mode! This phone came built up from the floor up. Now if we just had the 1.56 software version with all the above included stock and operating correctly, I'm sure we would see even more battery savings!

There are very few "de facto standards" for anything in the Android ecosystem...which is why we like it. I use a combination of GSAM Battery Monitor with the root companion, and Wakelock Detector.
Dont get me wrong, I get decent battery life, but nothing like you guys. For those of you with amazing OST are you guys using Google Now? I just installed wake lock detector to see what is causing my batt to drain more than others.
After reading multiple reviews with excellent battery benchmarks, I WAF super excited. It is being compared to tablets.
I am yet to see that sort of battery life and have been fixing wake locks on random applications since I bought the phone. Still trying to figure some out (calendar storage)?
Also, S Health components and other apps are force closing from time to time.
What has your experience been like?

I'm having excellent battery life, and cant wait for better kernels to be available. Was at hour and a half screen on when this was taken, and hours of streaming sirius. Im happy so far
Not at all impressed. Got 3 hours of screen time to 50% before the battery tanked after that. Im guessing I can hit 5 hours of screen time...which is the same as my m7. Very disappointing so far.
Currently right now, off the charger for 57 minutes. A whopping 9 minutes of screen time....already down to 96%. 4.1%/h burn.
Does this phone stop charging once it hits 100%? Cause it sure as hell seems like it.
Compared to the g2 its kind of a disappointment, but it's not horrible. Got 16 hours with 2 and a half screen along with a couple hours of bluetooth music and some YouTube videos. Try turning of location services when not using, because thats a huge battery hog. I really wish google would fix that. Usually when android system is ahead of screen thats because location services.

I'm not sure what kind of battery life you guys are trying to get with this phone. You have a bunch of features and 1080p hd screen that im pretty sure is pulling lots of power and well the battery is 2800mah so of course its really not going to compete much with the G2 3000mah battery.
I have a G flex i decided to yea take a 720p display over a 1080p display because battery was more important to me, i hated taking my charger everywhere with me or carrying 2 extra batteries like really that's not normal and some folks think it is lol. I took a sacrifice on this phone but i love the battery no more taking chargers or extra batteries lol.

Streamed a movie, like 2 ocean docs, 3 animal planet shows all on netflix, and watched an hour of people streaming on twitch. plus synced exchange, gmail, and texting all day as usual. Brightness was at 50% and no power saving options on.
I'm surprised you guys are having such bad luck with the battery. I played Bloons TD5 the other day for 2 hours on LTE connection with about 75% brightness and only went down 15%.
SMH...
I see some of these post and makes me wonder how many truely have the phone...
You guys getting 12 hours on your phone must be living on it. I unplugged it at 7am and messed with it all day (I work from home) getting everything on it and where I wanted it. Checking out Real Racing 3 for an hour and a half. Surfing for 4 hours while watching a movie and basketball game. Went to bed at 11:30 pm and it still had 53%. Not sure what you guys are doing on it?? I'm guessing you need to get a job and watch porn on your tablet or laptop. hahaha This battery is waaaaay better than my S4 and about 30% better than my LG G2. Really happy with it so far.:good:
I seriously have never been able to get above 2.5 hours of on screen time neither on this phone nor my other phones I've had. I don't get it. Service in my area sucks could that be why my battery life is so bad? I'm amazed seeing anyone with above 3 hours of on screen time. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong.

Have been killing my battery today and still have this(new setup again/lots of account syncing etc). It must be service or something. And this is with easily 2 hours + of sirius
Try turning off location services when not using. Usually when android system is above screen that's the reason.

What do you keep your brightness level at on average?

Mine is usually under 50, probably closer to 30.

I have always used auto brightness but for some reason when indoors it is just way too dim. Hope eventually we get cyanogenmod on this phone. I like being able to adjust auto brightness levels.

i had horrible battery life and it occurred to pull my sd card.
I did, and now the battery life is as advertised.
Do I have a crappy sd card or is it possibly a bad config? I just backed up all the content, and formatted using the built in utility.
There were a couple of programs that installed to sd, i wonder if having those on internal memory and only using sd for photos and music will make a difference.
I just put the empty card back in, and will post results if it made a difference.

I agree its better but I was expecting better. I download torrents on it, surf, play games, then enable the battery saver and I can get 10-12hrs off it. I agree its better than the S3 or S4 however many were expecting more.
I consistently get around 16 hours with 3-4 hours screen on time and 1-2 hours bt music. Its no g2 but it lasts me all day.

still patiently a.k.a. biting my finger nails and going crazy for my pure x. i though of starting this thread to post our battery status. at this point i am really worried because this is basically the same hardware as the G4 and that one is not know for its longevity.
gotta keep an eye on this one.
hope someone can test it with greenify soon.

I got the device yesterday morning, charged it to 100%, sync up all my email and apps and used it as I normally use any of my phones. I only got 4 hours SOT. That was from 100% to 1%.

4 hours SOT on first drain... not bad. Keep us posted on the next few charge cycles.
also the exact timings if you would. i.e. when did u plug it off the charger and when did it reach the 1%?
and if it is not much of a burden and since you own the nexus 6, how is the new charger? Motorola said this the fastest quick charger ever

Lte or WiFi? Hope its lte.
i meant you mentioned u started in the morning? what hour? and when it reached 1%, what was the hour then?
Does the phone get hot when using the turbo charger?
4 hours sot on WiFi is prey terrible. There has to be something eating battery. Maybe some of their junk left running like the voice assistant or the front sensors. Maybe their stock kernel is woefully inefficient. That is pretty bad sot on WiFi. I hope you had a wake lock or something from an app or brightness at max
4 hours from the very first discharge is not in the least "terrible" one bit honestly, especially considering that it's a QHD. I can't manage to pull 4 hours sometimes from my HTC One M8 that doesn't have QHD, that's on a custom ROM and kernel, AND that has a significantly smaller screen than the Moto X Pure. And the battery is only 400 mAh less than what the Moto has.

i WISH I got more than 4 hours SOT on my OnePlus. Some of it is the average to poor TMob signal I get though. That's what I'll have to compare to with the moto x - which arrives today
I get about 2 hrs of SOT on my Note 3.... thats terrible!

I can get 4 hours sot on my one plus on lte easily. Heavy web browsing usage. Solely on WiFi it might be close to 8 hours but I'd say at least 6 minimum.
4 hours sot for WiFi, if accurate, is a huge issue and would probably cause me to cancel. I'll wait for more accurate readings and confirmation obviously but if true that is terrible. That would put LTE SOT at around 2.5 hours.
Could also be carrier related. Those CDMA radios could be sucking juice.
I average about 4hrs on my nexus 6 unplugged from 8:30am to 11pm at night. Everything is enabled. sync, google now, location, bluetooth, wifi. If I can do about the same or better with the moto x pure I'd be content.

Everyday is mixed usage for me but I'm on WiFi probably 11 to 12 hrs of that time. Drive home and lunch time is when I'm on mobile. Weekends I'm mostly away from work but its not too much different as T-Mobile is strong in Houston. I just came back from Seattle and signal there is bad so I was definitely hurting a bit more.
Words with friends Tapatalk fitbit chrome browsing texting and hangouts chat google plus and photos make up the majority of my app activity. I use a lot of the Google now voice activation features as well for texting.

Aha.. This seems normal for WiFi usage. I was hoping to get battery life like the note 4 or so but it seems the moto x will not be able to do that [emoji17]

That's pretty good. With that S808 don't expect any record breaking sot.

That's not very good, considering I'm at 58% right now and at 3h 11min SOT on my Mi4. Oh well, if the Moto X can last me the day, that's all that matters.

Well if you're going to compare it to other phones don't expect it to be the best, of course there is better. Like you said as long as it gets you through the day then its cool.
