[Q] Battery life, the most important question about the Sensation...

Is the battery life shorter than the life of a fly? I'm coming from a HD2, which I was constantly wanting to turn into a bomb and ship it back to HTC because of it's poor battery life, until I upgraded to CyanogenMod.
The other thread about the phone is filled with silly, useless blabbering about benchmarks, so if you have the phone, could you please spare us drudging through that thread and post your battery life results here?

+1 to T.S
If the Sensation can run more than 8 hours on Battery I'mma pre-order this beast on Handtec asap

Good initiative. Change the topic title to 'battery life' or something similar otherwise people interested won't think to look in this topic.

the phone only came out yesterday, it always takes a few charge/discharge cycles to get it conditioned properly, so any comparisons that are done after just one day aren't going to be very accurate. give people a chance!!

For who?
Don't expect any better battery life than present phones. It's dual core. I don't have it but I think it's predictable. You will get 1 or 2 days depends on how you use it. I'm saying that might be 2 days because for normal usage it will run only one core which is new chipset etc. so it will spend less power than 1 core phones when one core is running. It will spend more power when you play gamse etc. because of 2 cores.

As long as it's better than my Desire (AMOLED), I'm happy.
I've installed CM7 and undervolted it and when I run my usual set up (Podcasts/Music, Trillian (Battery Saving Mode), GTalk, Latitude activated) it can happen that it doesn't really reached the end of a typical work day. When I had certain widgets installed, it didn't really reach the end of the day.
I don't need it to last 2 days, but easily one full day with nearly heavy use would be somehow nice...

Had my phone for 3 hours, battery life is about 10 billion times better than my HD2 was. Been using it pretty constantly since, and my battery would have gone down by about 25-30% on my HD2 (mental!!) but battery has gone down by about 5-10% and I haven't even charged it yet. Very happy soo far! .

I unplugged my phone after it's first charge cycle 7h 38m ago. It's gone from 100% to 23%.
During that time, my phone has been used almost constantly, including benchmarking, taking screenshots, as well as the usual few phonecalls, facebook updates every hour and Twitter updates every hour. Plus, of course, all the mucking around that we all do when we get new phones!

sjgore, great news! I have a question about your signature, how could you possibly be holding both your phone and your baby at the same time in each hand?

Thats is very promising, waiting for my Sensation! Have to wait a damn week though!

This thread is relevent to my interests...

A good reliable benchmark will be good only after everyone stops playing with their new phone for 23 hours out of the day!
Can't wait to get mine when it hits the US soon!
Also, battery conditioning isn't applicable to these kind of batteries. The first charge is as good as the 50th or the 100th. Of course, this is pending the lifetime of the battery. They do wear out!

I have been using my phone since 8am this morning, the battery is at 53%
My HD2 would have easily been dead by now!

Could please more users comment regarding battery experience so far? Even though you might still hope for an improvement after several charges, I'd like to know how it has been for you guys for the first couple of days. Thanks

I charged mine about half 5 yesterday, been using it as normal and had WiFi turned on, and its just hit 25%.
A lot better than my Desire HD.
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Mine's been off charge since about 9:30, and today I've been recording some 1080p video clips, taken some photos, playing Angry Birds and general usage. It's currently at 65%. So I'm pretty happy all in all!

Ok people who say "I've been off the charger since XX:XX and I'm at XX%, my YYY phone would've been dead by now!" please stop... people use their phones every differently and moderate/heavy usage varies greatly among different people.
If possible just look at your battery graph and report how long it says it's been off the charger, and also press display to see the DISPLAY TIME ON. Also, if you've made a lot of calls, report the voice call time as well. Signal strength is another major factor.
With Gingerbread it's MUCH easier to see battery life performance because of that new graph. Signal strength, display on, awake, etc. are very important in determining how long the battery will last and also if your phone isn't getting as much juice as you think it should.

20 hours 5 mins off charge, 100% to 39%, display time 1 hour 26 mins. WiFi on all that time. Is that any use?
Edit: Forgot to say, my phone's on its third charge cycle now.

Thanks. Did you make many calls? 1.5 hours of screen on time seems like light usage for 20 hours off the charger. The battery life on this phone seems quite average... on par with other 1500mah phones I guess.
More data is always welcome =)

[Q] Awful battery life - just me?

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).

[Q]Nexus 5 Battery life

Hi All,
I am gonna get my Nexus 5 ( 32GB Variant ) in about 2 weeks and I've done extensive research on numerous reviews and found out that the battery life is mediocre ( in GSM Arena it says 40H on the endurance test )
Is this battery life issue easy to get over with by installing custom roms?
Thanks alot!

Lots of stuff already posted if you search.

From my experience, i get great battery life on mine running stock.
Sometimes I reboot because of a qcom-camera-something-like-that bug draining battery or whatever it is but no serious deal breaker
I had one time 1 day 14h @ 44% with light usage, wifi turned. Most of the time i do play a lot, read mangas, have whatsapp, hangout, facebook, snapchat, instagram and all these apps installed pushing notifications, It still gets me through the day easily.
I was worried about the battery when i bought it but keep in mind, even if the LG G2 has 3000 mah, it has to run all LG services and tricks like "double tap to wake up", this device is PURE Google. See it like an enormous engine with only wheels, no fancy sh*ts, it's up to you if you want to make it lightweight or heavy as ...
Anyway if you're still concerned about the battery life, get a wireless charger for 40 bucks and put it where you stay the most (desktop at work/next to you computer). You will just have to lay it down to make it charge with no efforts

I'm guessing you had the screen brightness set to its lowest.

Battery life is what you make of it. I can make my phone last 8 hours or a day and a half.
I feel like there are over a hundred threads inquiring about battery life. At least two a week.

is battery that bad?

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
(edit: or do screen off music playback like this test did)

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?

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Huawei Nexus 6P's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Lasts a full day of heavy use, but barely. If I am off charger at 7am, by 10pm I have 15-20% left.

On my second day of use, the phone died after 14 hours of mixed to heavy use. Third day is even worse, the phone is draining at about 10% per hour. The endurance on this thing is a step down from my LG G2, enough that I'm thinking of returning it.

Oh dang... I had the G2 and although it had very good battery life, I never found it satisfactory. I have had the Z3 by Sony since release and I have to say, it's the only phone where I am never worried about battery life. It isn't phenomenally better, no. it is just more than enough to give me great confidence in the stamina of the device.
I have the Nexus due in for delivery today so I really hope it doesn't disappoint. Since if it does, I too may return it for the Z5 compact.

First few discharge cycles were disappointing. Then I realized that leaving BT on all the time was preventing deep sleep...I am now getting 20+ hours under heavy to moderate use.
Definitely better than both my OPO and s6 edge

7am - 10pm is FANTASTIC usage! My note 3 could never do that with ANY rom and most modern phones can't, especially with heavy usage. I see users comparing it to the g2 and some older devices and I don't think it a fair comparison. Those older devices have less power hungry components. I'm using a very low spec'd Galaxy Grand Prime and the battery life on it is REALLY good, but that's because of how low spec'd it is. It doesn't even have a 720p screen lol. But the benefits of a 6P are more than just in the battery life dept so I can't complain on that front.

I also leave it on all the time, maybe it is a bug with the 6p and bluetooth? I've never turned bluetooth on and off with any phone as I use bluetooth audio frequently. In any event, I'm going to try keeping it turned off for a day or two.

Three nights in a row, I left it on overnight (Wi-Fi on, BT on, everything syncing) and drained 3% in 9 hours. That's impressive. I average 3-4 hours of screen on time per day with medium to heavy usage and easily make it all day. A few days ago, I did a "light usage test" and didn't use it for gaming (still had everything except GPS on and syncing) and I made it 2.5 days (59.5 hours) with 2.5 hours of screen on time. Battery is impressive on this thing. I am rooted stock and have no issues, except when gaming. Mine drains really fast and gets very, very, very hot when gaming for extended times, but when not gaming, it lasts crazy long.

Waze and any music app will absolutely DEMOLISH the battery. Very disappointed vs my iphone 6+. Use a car charger!

I am averaging around 2h45m to 3 hours screen on time, with a total run-time of 13-15 hours (7 AM to 10 pm) - 100% to 1% with medium to heavy usage.

Waze and any music app will absolutely DEMOLISH the battery. Very disappointed vs my iphone 6+. Use a car charger!

This is exactly my biggest terror. I have a 6S+ and the battery is AMAZING (yes I had to capitalize it)
I miss being on Android and thought about getting a 6P but worried the battery life wont be good enough.
anyone have any rom/mods that makes the battery life last all day ?

This. Google Play Music destroys my battery more than Google Maps or any other app. Even when I am playing local file and not streaming it is horrendous. Google really needs to improve this, it is terrible for an app that is native to the device.

The days I don't use Play Music for more than two hours. I easily get through the day. Otherwise, it is a struggle.

Man that is depressing.. I was on my way to bestbuy to buy a nexus 6P but I guess not. Ill stick to my 6S Plus, it literally last ALL DAY, why can't Google get it right.
We shouldnt have to root a device,install roms, ect just to get by a whole day or normal phone usage. Its one of the major reasons why im using an iPhone as my daily.

Just FYI... I ran stock for 3 weeks and got absolutely absurd battery life with pretty moderate to heavy usage. I ride a train to and from work every day for about 45 minutes each way. Listen to music at work, on the way to train, on the way home, while I'm at home both in the morning and after work. In about 20+ days of usage running stock, non-rooted I got 20+ hours with ease. Don't be fooled by what a few people say, however, it also depends on many many variables.

This isn't just a Nexus thing. Every Android phone I've had Google Music drains it like their is no tomorrow.

I've never had Facebook or Snapchat on my phone so I guess that's why that hasn't been an issue for me.
