I am planning on getting a new phone during Christmas time and this phone is an option. Only thing I haven't seen is what type of screen on time people are getting with this phone. If y'all could post your battery life experiences that'd be great!

was thinking to trade my htc one x for this phone but I wanted to know how is battery life?
Battery will drain out quickly when you do lots of things and specially when playing games.
Take 5 hours for a fully change.
If you leave only gsm can keep for 5 days open.
If you play with it can last only hours of a single day.
Depence on your needs.

Hi there, i did a review of this phone a few weeks back here: http://initekuk.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/review-of-the-windows-phone-8x-by-htc/
i found the only problems to be no expandable storage and the power button placement. In my opinion it would be better placed on the side as it was sometimes a reach to press it; i got used to this though, just my opinion.
the phone is good. the battery life is very good as long as you aren't doing anything like bluetooth/wifi/gps on all the time...it will keep for days without a charge and even while playing pandora, you get hours out of it.
the only bad thing I found with it was the expandable storage, there isn't any....really nothing else....lack of cases I guess, most of them will come from the U.K....the nice ones anyways.
HTC series not bad

What provider are you with (if any)?
I can appreciate a long-lasting battery better than most. In November I got jumped, beat up, and stabbed in the gut. Spent the night in the hospital, and only the huge 3300mAh battery in my Droid Razr Maxx kept me in touch with my family and friends that could help me. My current phone doesn't have a big battery, but I carry a spare.
so any of the top phone you can recommend?
Hey guys, I figured I'd create a thread specifically for posting battery life stats. Post away. Give some details if you can!
Thanks!
It wouldn't be fare considering I have the Mugen 6200. But I'll post some screen shots once its dialed in.

My battery life has never been great on the G3. I'll chalk it up to the screen. My G2 was amazing and most of the phones I had after that were better than what the G3 is now. I'd say I got comparable life out of my M8 which is not saying much at all. S5 killed this thing on battery life. But overall I like the G3 better. Just means I have to charge my phone at work which isn't a huge deal
anyone know why there are no roms or kernels for this phone? wonder if it's because of a locked bootleader? that and the fact that the battery life sux balls i think i might return this. i love the camera and the feel of it but it's still rather laggy even after the newest update
thanks all
No roms and kernels because no custom recovery.
No custom recovery because locked bootloader.
Not sure why you're getting poor battery performance.
Battery life is brilliant for me, I can go a whole day of normal use (my normal use is probably heavy use to most people) and still have 40% when I go to bed .
What kind of apps are you using to get such lag and battery drain?
Yea, i see everyone complaining about the battery life but i have had no issues with battery life or drainage.
that was with just the basics installed. 100 percent when i start the day around 8:30 the used it to stream pandora for an hour on the way to work. then it sat in my pocked unused and the battery was at 15 percent by 1.
this is even with my battery saver proggie running that cuts of the wifi and cell antenna's when screen is off. no idea im assuming the battery is defective. but now that i know there's not gonna be roms and such i think i might just say fark it and get the m9. i see that there are already tons of roms for that. and i came from a og 3vo so i recognize all the developers.
it's just a bummer i love the curve and the camera on this thing. this is also my third gflex 2 since i got it 3 days ago. the first one just started bootlooping after fifteen mins, the second did the same and now the third seems to work good but the battery life is horrible.
tis a predicament rofl.
thanks for the info gang

If that's the case then you might be right about a defective battery.
Either that or the screen is coming on in your pocket, you'd probably notice your skin burning as the phone heats up though.
Have you checked Settings> Battery> Battery Usage, just to see what's using the most battery?
If you're not happy with the flex 2, the m9 is a great phone.
I got my hands on a prototype about 6 months before release, the only reason I didn't get one is that it just didn't feel right in my hand.
Battery life compare to my old Flex 1 is crap. I know its smaller and better screen resolution, but still my old G2 had better battery life than Flex 2 with same screen resolution and battery.
OP should go cr8 it

Moved here, read the Forum Rules on posting.
if no one will post earlier, going to start porting in approximately two weeks, when my phone arrives.
can't ship my G Flex 2 with Express mail, not enough money there, so need to wait for a month, or more
sorry, guys.

Tell us when your phone arrives and when you'll start porting... We all wait quietly
Hey all. I had the OPO originally when it launched, and I loved it. The battery life was INSANE. I just bought another one that will be here Monday, and has been lightly used since the guy bought it in 2015. How is battery life? I used to get up to 8 hours of SOT when I had it at launch. What is the best ROM? Best ROM for battery life? Just kind of curious if it's still ass good as it was.
