My phone seems to be draining pretty rapidly when listening to music. I lose about 10% every 30 minutes. If I remember correctly, listening to music while running Froyo was easy on my battery; about 1% every 10 minutes. I'm wondering what other people's experiences are with battery and listening to music. If you can, please post your ROM, music player, and battery drain.
CM7.
Using Music and WinAmp.
10% in 30 minutes.
Thanks.
I use UberMusic on my stock TB running 2.2.1.
Noticed first hand Yesterday, It drains the living hell out of my battery.
I started out the morning on full battery, then using UberMusic for a 30 min drive there and back.
Then started to use the music player by the end of the day with a 20 min drive to school and ended with 0% battery.
I did have my brightness on 100% also UberMusic does use the internet for connection to display "Artists" picture's for the background.
Thanks for the information.
It may be better to get stats based on apps that don't use data.

Yup, But UberMusic is too damn good of a music player to stop using
I'm running OMFGB nightly 7/31 and I use poweramp. Over about 8 hours I lose 30% battery, so my drain is pretty light.

That's more like what I'm seeing with the stock player on Gingeritus3D, too. I hardly notice the drain. Are these other players trying to download lyrics or cover art or something?
Thanks everyone. It seems I'm not crazy - my drain is excessive.
Greetings peeps,
I just wanted to pop in and ask how you guys are doing with the battery life.
Reason I ask is over xmas I had alot of interaction with my N5, but it wasn't exactly an extreme use.
I got 3 hours SOT before shut down and the phone managed a whole 8 hours powered on time. I know not amazing.
now in contrast I knocked my N5 off my wireless charger while in bed last night, I checked what the battery life was like. In a rather shocking contrast, the phone had been on for 10 hours and had dropped 10% or 1% per hour if you prefer.
I just can't fathom what's going on, I appreciate it was sitting there doing nothing, but my syncs are the same as the other day and were looking at 8 hours vs 100 hours can anyone shed some light on what might be causing this, alot of the time my drain is the screen and i've employed LUX to alter the high brightness to something more fitting to the surroundings. But i still sync G+ Fb and Twitter, I sync all of my Google account but thats it.
the 5 hours while it drained when the screen was off the other day, when i managed only 8 hours, it wasn't draining at 1% an hour. soo what gives, if we take the screen out of the equation and look at those 5 hours, that should have been 5% charge, not the remaining battery.
I've used betterbatterystats and doesn't show any particular items drawing battery.
While it's only play services which tops the list on the battery list in settings, thats the highest, but again it's like 4 minutes, not 8 hours!
So any help is welcome.
Over night it lost only 2% battery. The nexus survives (without any problems) 24hours with 5hrs SOT. Of course it depends on user's behaviour. I dont play ganes but i am using wifi 3g and navi for min. 4hrs (smtimes more) and in the evening i still have over 30-40%. Important: have stock 4.4.2 and ElementalX kernel 0.18, undervolted and max 1,5GHz

what about battery life when listening music with hands free and playing mp3 ecc?
i m not sure guys but everyone is complaining about battery..
it s so frustrating
it makes me re consider buying or not buying
Battery is completely based on usage and how often the phone needs to wake itself. When the screen is off my N5 will essentially never wake itself unless for a message, phone call, or update.
I even have Google Now enabled so I can still set and use reminders, but I don't have it searching my weather updates for me. Dashclock does that instead and only updates when I turn the screen on.
With auto syncs off, Wifi always scanning off, and hotword detection off for more SoT I've not been let down by the battery once.

N5 deals especially well with music playback due to it's hardware tunneling feature. An hour of music playback barely registers on my battery listing.

Local mp3 files work best. Streaming will use more but I haven't found Songza to be much worse beyond usual data needs.
This DSP tunneling thing isn't work at all...

Used to use GPM for all my music needs, and it used to use so much battery (phone down to 60% or so after a total of 4 or 5 hours of music), even when the music was cached locally and my phone was on airplane mode. Battery usage from combined GPM and Mediaserver was about 40% or so. No extraneous sources of battery drain either (ie. no Google+ running in the back or anything like that).
Recently, I tried Apollo and copied some of my most frequently listened to music to the internal storage. I got away with listening a total of 6 or so hours of music, and it lost maybe 10-15% of my battery (also on airplane mode). Battery usage from Apollo (didn't even see Mediaserver) was also around 40%, but the drain was MUCH less.
Why is it that GPM music sucks up so much battery? I thought this phone had a dedicated part of the CPU that kept battery usage from music very very low.

I noticed that as well. The mediaserver I've actually noticed with every music app I've used. Pandora/SoundCloud.
Do you use the equalizer by any chance? Or any sound mods?
I used to experience the same thing with local playback, media server would be higher than I expected and GPM showed fairly high CPU times. Over all it was using the same or more battery than streaming lower quality files with Slacker.
That is no longer the case. Only thing I've changed is headphones and disabled the GPM equalizer.

No sound mods (by that you mean Viper or the like, right?), and I haven't messed with the EQ settings at all in GPM, not even sure if it's enabled by default or not. So does the dedicated part of the CPU that handles music playback not do EQ settings?
Remember when Google was teasing the audio tunneling to DSP feature for Kit Kat and our Nexus 5? Remember the 60 hours of promised music playback?
Yea. Good times.

Actually, I think I got pretty close to that with Apollo (6 hours of music for 10-15% battery, with some other apps sometimes waking the phone up and me using it a little). They weren't lying, but GPM doesn't use it (for me at the very least)

Perhaps it is GPM, because that is pretty much the only music app I use. Ironic that their music app wouldn't use a key feature of kit Kat.

I thought I'd chime in as well on this problem. I love my Nexus 5, a LOT! But this app really does drain battery for me. I thought maybe it was just a bug with my phone? But I see others are having this problem.
It is kinda ridiculous that listening to music takes up about as much battery as having the screen on! And it's off when I listen to music. I want to get rid of my messed up iPod Touch in favor or my N5 but the batter is really hit... I don't have the best signal either in some classes and my transit to school is horrible signal, so it also takes a hit on the battery life.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Also the system UI seems to drain battery too. D; why does Google Play Music do this??

You know what is weird? I tested GPM against Poweramp with the phone in airplane mode and it was SIGNIFICANTLY less power hungry. GPM used 1.5% an hour with headphones plugged in vs 4.5% for Poweramp with headphones plugged in. Going to have to run the same test on WiFi to see the difference playing music makes when GPM has internet access. From using it daily I can say its SIGNIFICANTLY more than 1.5% an hour.

Is this happening on wifi? Cellular? Or both? Certainly you will achieve much better battery life while streaming over wifi.

Huh... That is rather weird. I have tried at home on WiFi and it still drains like how it does on mobile data. Of course o don't stream on GPM, I have all pre-loaded songs from my iTunes folder on my Nexus 5 and listen that way, offline. I don't know why it drained so much for me and others but so little for you? Even airplane mode still drains, not as much, but barely noticeably slower.

I've been using Google play music for the longest time and haven't noticed any battery drain no more than any other app I'm using for hours at a time. If I am constantly playing music its expected to me that is that my battery will drain. I can get usually around 7-8 hours of non stop music while streaming and also switching from Google play music to tune in. Tune in on the other hand is a huge battery drain because for some reason it likes to stay running in the background and sometimes I forget to shut it off manually and eats my battery up quick lol

If you have music stored in the library download it for offline and see if that helps you. When I use to do that I could listen to music all day in airplane mode that is

Hmm, does anyone have any luck with keeping WiFi on and GPM running, but with the same songs looped? It shouldn't have to keep streaming due to the files being kept locally, yet it still has terrible drain for me
Good day to all the people using the Honor 6 H60-L04,
I currently have a Moto X 2013 and I love almost everything about it. The one thing that really makes me mad about the phone is the battery. I can get 6:30 hours of SoT during normal use, but during Standby / Sleep mode the phone eats a minimum of 2.0% to 3.0% drain per hour. It does not matter if the phone is even in Airplane mode, it drains about the same.
Now, I am looking for a phone that will not need to have everything turned off just to have 1 day of regular use and to have a small drain per hour when the phone is not being used.
Could some users share their average Standby time on their Honor 6? Other than not being splashproof (Why couldn't Huawei follow the steps of the Honor 3?), the Honor 6 is the most attractive option for me right now due to price and performance, just need to know how is the avg drain per hour when screen off is to make a decision.
At night my battery was eat 1%
So in about 8hrs it drops 1%? If you use GSAM Battery Monitor it would say a little more than 0.1%/hour or similar?
Running the latest CM11. I lose maybe 4% every 24 hours in standby. My last battery cycle to 4% was 6 hours screen time, 2 days 14 hours total.
I received the Honor 6 on Friday, very happy with it! Tried this last night, and between 1am and 9 this morning it was only 1%, with wifi on all the time.

Hi,
Question, was it 1% battery drop total from 1AM till 9AM, so for example from 100% to 99% or a 1% battery drop per hour every hour from 1AM till 9AM, so 100% to 92%

1% in total. I went from 27 to 26% overnight.
Still very happy with the H60 battery-life, I consider myself as a heavy user (whatsapp, facebook, twitter, etc) and I get around 6h of screen-on time.

Wow,
that is awesome. Too bad I found out that the phone is very weak in the sound department. I saw samples of videos taken in noisy environments (concert) and the sound was awful. Also, some reviews and users report that the sound coming out of the headphone jack is also of very low quality compared to other phones on the same price range.

I'm a medium to heavy user at home, browsing on Chrome, WhatsApp, YouTube. I usually get 6 hours of on screen time on heavy use with WiFi.
But if I am at the office, I will put my phone on 2G GSM just for replying messages and this will make my phone last for 1 day 12 hours at most with probably 3 hours on screen time.
Sound wise, the speakers at the back of the phone is not that great because it is a mono speaker. I am not so much of a music/sound person so that does not bother me as long as the volume is loud enough for me to hear my phone rings.
Earphones/headphones wise, i am happy with the quality of sound and I am only using my cheap CreaTive earphones.
Thanks for the feedback. For the battery, it is odd that it would last so little on 2G considering what was said before that the phone has excellent stand by time battery usage. If I was you, I would check if your phone is going into sleep mode while at the office, it could be something is keeping it awake.
For the sound, I am a heavy music listener and this is a deal breaker. On top of that, the audio during video recording is bad, and you won't notice until that special moment when you want to record a video and then you play it back and the sound is horrible with clipping and distortion (like on my old Galaxy S2).

Yeah like i said, replying messages on office days. So i always check my phone every minute. The culprit is too many incoming WhatsApp Group chats.
I've tried using the protected app feature and kill all background apps. It does make a big difference, i have seen my phone going more than 2 days unplugged with battery life still remaining more than 10%.
So it depends on the user really. Im too lazy to kill apps nowadays, because to me 1full day of battery life with 3G & medium usage is good enough. .
I have bought brand new honor 6, 2 weeks ago..
I have noticed that its draining very fast. 5-6% just 6hours night standby. no Wifi. 0 App is running after screen turned off.
Closed all recent open apps from history.
See two screenshots.
3% drained, for 28 minutes of wifi on (use for just making screenshots)
Ps:I have upgraded on marshmellow
Any solution will appreciated.
Battery is ok,but I dont count every single percent and on latest version of the stock rom screen on time is around 5 hours when you install all your apps and stuff.Phone is good overall,but its not worth upgrading from moto x 2013.Better stick with it and if you care about battery that much,install a custom rom/kernel or get powerbank.

So far I've only had one real heavy usage day.
I was on a mix of LTE and wifi, browsed with Chrome, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 30 minutes YouTube, 1 hour streaming Google Play Music to Bluetooth headphones, 15 minutes playing Asphalt 8, brightness at 20%, Now Playing on, Google account syncing, Location on high accuracy and battery saving off. At the end of the day I was literally trying to kill the battery but it was getting late and I was tired.
Under the same conditions my Nexus 5X, even when it was brand new, only got like 3 hours screen on time with the same off the charger time.
First phone I've ever had that I can actually say has great battery life. It more than makes up for the blue tint that I only even see if I'm looking for it.
Been at a conference last few days in a row. Historically I bring a charger with me because usually I'm just sitting there on my phone.
Don't have my actual battery performance but started with 100% out of my car. Purposefully left a charger in the car.
Used tons of XDA, Facebook, browser text email etc and had 40-60% remaining after about 7 hours onsight each day.
Great battery for working professionals or any heavy user
Much better lasting than i expected. 3500mah compared to the 3000 mah of Nexus 6, and it lasts 2 days easily on light to moderate use.

I'm downright impressed with the battery on this phone. I was at the hospital for 3 days with no charger, and it lasted the whole time. Granted, I pretty much don't use any app other than firefox, but at the same time, I never turned on the TV (I honestly don't care for watching TV) and my phone was all I had to entertain myself, so the screen was on a lot.

Yeah even better! Even with a 3220 battery, it barely lasted for almost a day. Granted it was after 3 years of using the phone, so at the time i bought it, it would have lasted maybe 1.5 days. But when i went 3 days without charging the pixel 2xl, that was something else.
Upgraded from a Nexus 6 as well. With he same apps installed, and with everything else as similar as possible (i.e. batter saver disabled, location high-accuracy, same google accounts added, etc.), and with hte N6 rooted and running Pixel Launcher and wallpaper app, *and* with the N6 being a 2nd replacement (having replaced my original purchase due to batterygate in Jan 2015, and then having lost the second device in Jan 2016 and relacing it with the last completely new in a box N6 that I found only) and thus around 1.75 years of actual use (versus a true 3 years), I can say that my N6 will die easily in ~4 hours of intensive video game playing (games like PotC: Tides of War and Lineag 2: Evolution) but the Pixel 2 XL has let me play 7+ hours continuously and still had well over 30%.
Being the holidays, I don't have that much time to dedicate to playing games in one sitting, but I can fire up Lineage 2 and auto hunt for a long time, with the phone sitting off to the side, if anyone requires actual visual proof.
Also, relate to this, even if I am playing either game and connect to my charger, the phone barely gets warm, whereas my N6 would get almost unbearably hot if I charged and played at the same time.
If you aren't fortunate to live on wifi and have bad service, my battery life is dropping. I'm down to 10 hours with 2 hours of SOT. First day was much better. I am using a third party charger. Does that drop battery life?

That's pretty terrible. Never got lower than maybe 4.5 hours SOT and that was out and about at Disney World for 16 hours. Mostly the bad service that's killing your battery because it's searching for stronger signal. Doubtful 3rd party charger would be doing this. Screenshots?

Yeah, something is wrong. A few weeks about I had a long day out using mobile data only with signal average to bad browsing, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 45 minutes of Google Maps navigation with the screen always on and playing music over Bluetooth to my car for like 2 hours and even like 15 minutes of Asphalt 8 and I ended the day with like 6 hours SOT and 20 hours off the charger and still had like 10% left. That's the absolute WORST I've ever seen. On wifi all the time with good cell signal just browsing and Facebook I've gotten 9 hours SOT over like 40 hours at best. Average with a mix of usage is about 7 hours SOT with about 32 hours off the charger. Individual results will obviously vary but if you are getting a lot less than what I get, which is pretty typical from all the user experience I've read, something is wrong.
Can anyone tell me what is the screen time you get on a pixel 2 Xl iam getting 4.00 hours with 80% battery used and 20% battery left with full recharge 15:20 hour's ago
With talk time of roughly 1:45 minutes used.
How i'm /my phone is doing.
Read somewhere people are getting 8+hour's of screen time with 10% battery still left.
