Have had my rooted stock rom g2x since day 1.
Love phone. I am comming from H2 customed. I thought it had worst battery I have ever had.
That was till the g2x. I hate running a task killer. But am about to do just that to see if I can get anymore battery,.
Its to the point where I fully charge phone and yesterday with only 12 minutes of talk. Maybe 20 minutes of Web use and some emails. Battery was yellow.
This is a joke right? My only thought is that by having my Gmail auto refresh every 10 minutes possibly that could be some cause. But I if not in my car to keep on charger phone last barely a day.
Sounds like you have a bad battery, I get great battery life with the phone
G2X & Nexus S
I get 13hrs on this battety with wifi on all day.

Did u calibrate?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
do u really think that is the standard performance of the G2x battery or is it more likely you got a bad unit ? Come on now people, stop posting this crap and just exchange your phone when you only get an hour of battery life. Why start a freaking thread ? You could have used that time to go exchange your phone.

Totally true.
For those of you with problems, your phone is still new, it will be replaced either under buyer's remorse (15-20 days) or directly through tmobile after that period.
Just get a new phone and be done with it.
My first hot potato of a phone would get good battery life, until it cooked itself alive. My second phone was on for over 27 hours and was still at 50%. I'm still surprised.
First off guys. I am not a newbie to XDA or phones. No its not a bad battery.
Remember I am the Costco Manager so I can exchange phone as much as I want for 90 days.
This is my third as I wanted a perfect screen.
I have had this problem with all 3. So the battery is fine.
I use batt apk and I show about 5%loss per half hour after taking off charge
There is no way this is normal. Now I do have lots of apps. But I have froze some in Titanium. However I can blow out this charge in an hour with web use.]
No I did not calibrate. Did not read that till after. However I did charge initially correct.
My HD2 would gobble batterys. But this phone while I love it. Is not a great everyday use phone if not able to be on a charger during day.

Huh.. some people are getting awesome battery time. When it first came out, people were having success with doing factory reset on their phone. Idk.. I personally didn't buy it.. but they swore it worked. Give it a try.

So what you're saying then, is those of us with good battery life are the ones with the bad batteries? You really didn't think this through, did you?
I find my battery life was OK on the stock ROM. Nothing I'd get excited about, but I'd gotten used to insanely poor battery life running CM7 on my vibrant. Since I flashed the GB leak (no wipe, fixed permissions, erased battery stats) I'm seeing 18+ hrs with moderate usage.
gingerbread in general gets good battery life, cm7 for galaxy has problems due to samsung not following the google standards, those guys are basically shooting in the dark with that project, yet they have made huge improvments. recently people report decent to improved battery life on the latest builds.
to the op, what are your sync options? i find facebook sync and facebook contact sync are big culprits. also i only use google contact sync to get my contact list initially then turn it off. also if you have your gmail on the stock email app and the gmail app it can increase useage, if you prefer the email app id turn off google sync all together, if you like the gmail app id turn off fetch on the email app.
another culprit is weather apps using the location service, for me beautiful widgets is a battery hog on a vibrant rom but not on a captivate rom so results can vary from phone to phone.
and last of all i dont agree with calibration proceedures, i get some funky results with them, i just delete batstats and then charge to full. i find it takes 3 day minimum to get a good calibration, 5 days is sometimes needed.
I get very good battery life with mine and have been since day one. It lasts almost twice as long as my Vibrant and N1 did.

I use juice defender to turn on/off my data for me when its not being used and the screen is off. It seems to work less than on vibrant.
I'm running stock rom and my battery life varies TREMENDOUSLY from when I'm at work and seldomly using it to when I'm home surfing the web on it ( tablets too far from couch I'm surprised I got the cookies )

I was getting really bad battery life when I first got the phone (about 7hrs ) I ended up finding out that the touch led notification app was the culprit so I deleted it and also calibrated my battery and now my phone last all day easily and that with me playing guerrilla bob and the samurai game at work for like 2 hours lol
I recommend you download the where's my Droid power app from the market and see what's killing your battery

Also keep in mind that it could be a certain app draining your battery. I downloaded the NFL apparently for draft day and even after exiting the app it took my battery down 15% in a matter of 10 minutes. Not to mention it had my battery's and CPU running super hot. On average I get about 12 hours out of a full charge with moderate to heavy usage.

My last charge i got 36 hours of light use so I dont know what everyone's problem is lol

No wonder your a newbie and no listed thanks. What an asswade comment.
NO!!!!!!!!! What I am saying is that is has to be an internal issue with either synch times or possibly an APP be it internal or external that is causing MANY of us to have terrible battery times vs. others with good. Not saying anthing negative about those who are functioning ok.
I have been rooting and modding for 2 years. This is the worst battery usage yet. My Galaxy S 4g. Could last with same synch times and apps for 18 hours.
Now for those others who have there head inserted other then in there behind.
Okay ran some tests today,
1. Charged phone to 100percent.
2. Left everything the way it has been and no adjustments.
Battery at 84 Percent sitting tableside no text, app, wed or voice use after 2 hours. After 4 hours at 64 percent. After 6 hours at 51 percent. After 8 hours at 39 percent. This is with no usage. This is terrible.
Okay, Now have done following based on others test here and other forums.
1. Loaded Setcpu and made profile for sleep using stock 216 usage.
2. reluctently loaded Taskmanager Pro and killed all but needed apps.
3. Loaded Battery calibration app and after charge calibrated phone.
Left my email synch at every 10 minute as its needed for work.
We will see if this brings better test times now and report back.
What may be my culprit from studying this and other forums is I am in Seattle. We are Tmobiles home office corp and full test market for 4g and every change before rest of USA. I get full 4g at all times. In fact my speed tests are off the board. ave of 12 down 1.3 up speeds.
From what I am finding out, those of us in best 4g coverage (and Seattle is listed best) are finding much more drain on battery in standby and in use.
So my theory is that with this phone and its dual proccesor and my 4g, this is why myself and others in like markets are seeing much faster drain then others. Some dispute this possibility. however other experts say its fact.
Will report back findings tomorrow.
Thanks.

May be some of my issue vs. others.
I do have sync on for FB and Google mail 2 accounts. and I use Fancy Widgets for my Weather and news feeds. However I also used these on my HD2 a known battery hog running cm7 and it had even better life then the phone. I run them on my other Galaxy s 4g as well and it has awesome battery life.
But I will freeze these in my next test after running this test.

those are shocking results man... I dont know what to tell you... If I literally dont touch my phone for 6 hours i will drain no more than 10% of my battery, closer to around 6 or 7% based on my battery monitor widget...
I pulled the phone off at 6 this morning and didnt touch it until 12 and I was at 92%... Chelsea got ****ing spanked this morning and I got a barrage of **** talk text messages that I did not want to deal with haha so my phone wen untouched for a good 6 hours...
I will say though, when I first got the phone my battery life was pretty wonky... first drain was great, second one was mediocre, the third and fourth ones were horrible, drained in 6 hours flat of light-moderate use... I did a factory reset at this point to try and change things up... Calibrated once after that and I have run it up and down to get a good read and I have not looked back since, like i said i can get 20-30 hours of moderate to light use no problem at all!
Great battery on my g2x
I had battery problems with my G2x, only lasted about 7-8 hours on moderate use and cell stabd by was like 50% of battery use.
After i installed the leaked official Gingerbread ROM is like a new phone, ofter 16 hours of use i still had 43% last night. In idle mode it uses about 1% in 2 hours.
I think the battery probles come from Froyo not getting along with the dual core processor.
This phone is awesome!

Iceshark, you're not crazy. This is the same exact battery drain I get not even touching the damn phone! This is my second phone in less than 2 weeks, the first had the same results, both brand new.
Today I unplugged my phone at 12:45 pm, gave my mom a call for mothers day (less than 2 min talk time) Got to work and browsed web for maybe 5 minutes then clocked in at 2 pm. Took a 15 min break at 4pm battery was down to 80% (did some web browsing for 5 min). Took my 30 min lunch at 6pm (battery was down to about 60% (did some browsing for about 15 min). Took my last break at 8pm, and battery was down to 30%. I clocked out at 10:30 and I only had 20% battery left. The only timeI touched the phone was on my breaks, the rest of the time my phone was in my pocket. I had juicedefender running on balanced.
It's now 12:01am and I only have 14% battery left, that's not even 12 hours yet, and I only used the phone and it's features for less than an hour, all the other drain was sitting in my pocket. This is unacceptable. And I'm starting to think all the other people who claim to have great battery life are exaggerating or lying through their teeth.
Although I did a test yesterday using auto airplane mode, which automatically enables airplane mode when the screen shuts off, disabling any data, and then it turns data back on when you unlock the screen this helped very much with battery draining and at the end of an 8 hour work shift I still had 70% battery, but without data you can't receive calls, which sucks.
This battery drainage or bleed while the handset is not even being used needs to be fixed. And isn't it false advertising since the G2x specs indicate standby time is 400 hours?
I know it has only been out for a little more than a day, but curious on what sort of battery life people are seeing on the Skyrocket.
Thanks
Just got mine about an hour ago so I will report back, what I can say that LTE is amazing.
I had it since yesterday... however.. I had a wakelock issue.. so mine never went to deep sleep till I found the culprit..
but so far so good. it's very similar to the OGSGS2 (I owned for 28 days)

Not just on LTE. I'm constantly getting 7-10 mbps on hspa+. Never ever seen that speed on any of the so call 4g phones on at&t till now. I did a speed test at 3 in the after noon where I usually was getting 1.5 - 3.0 on my ogsg2.

They are reporting a full day use with no problems.
"The battery is larger than the one on the SGSII by a good margin, the better to supply that power-hungry LTE radio. Though most of the time I was on HSPA+, the phone lasted all day and through an idle night with 30% battery remaining, a solid showing."
Another review: http://www.phonedog.com/2011/11/07/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-first-impressions/
"Skyrocket brings a rather large 1,850 mAh battery to the table, and it shows. If you're a road warrior or someone who's away from an outlet for an extended period of time, this may be the device for you. With moderate use including some calling, text messaging, browsing the web, downloading apps, and running Quadrant Standard tests, I was able to make it through the day and well into the evening before a recharge was needed. On a related note, I've chided Samsung devices in the past for taking too long to charge, and that seems to have been improved upon. "
(woot 100th post)
have to say it has Great Battery life.....probably the best on a phone that i have had so far. again its still new. but i get a full day of use and still have 30-40 percent done by the time i hit the pillow.
im impressed especially since its an LTE phone and everyone kept yelling----IT WILL BE A BATTERY HOG.
nope
my wakelock problem was with FriendCaster Pro. After stopping the app a few times it release wakelock and it's properly going to deep sleep
As for battery. I finally got a "full" day of use. from 10am to 11pm I have about 19% left. That included GPS use for about 15mins, watched a movie on NetFlix (A Knight's Tale) and about an hour worth of 3-way calling and some texting.
I have Background and Auto Sync on with K9 email polling every hour for one of my POP3 + and 2 IMAP account is pushed.
Polling calendar using Calengoo every 3 hours
Honeslty no issues at all. I use my phone for txt calls web all day for work had no issues at all. I don't have Lte in my area but occasionally travel to areas that do. No pixel issues either, yea its bigger but nothing noticeable.

maybe a bad battery bruh......i have been ON my phone. loading, streaming calling....even just sufing the web with screen at its brightest.
and i still cant complain. I have not HAD to charge my phone throughout the day yet. and i walk in the house in the evening with about 30% left after a full day of use.
my infuse would have to be charged at work just to make it home sometimes....lol

I wish I could say the same. 12 hours later my phone is down to 10% from full charge.
Guess I will pay AT&T a visit and see if they would replace the battery for me.
today... i've been on battery for 13 hours, 1.5 hours with the screen on, mainly surfing around using LTE, as well some texting. also downloaded a few apps.
37% remaining.
i think that's pretty good.
I've been unplugged for a little over 18 hours as of now, (about 7 of that was idle while I was asleep) and I am at 34% right now. I've used the phone quite a bit today and I would say that battery life seems to be about the same as the original GSII.
Yea mine is no different from the i777 s2. I did however root it n disable some junk. I'm sure that had something to do wit it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes quite respectable, granted my iPhone runs forever on a charge but it's pretty good. Also I had read that the phone will turn off the LTE radio if it's not in a LTE area, opposed to other networks.
Hope these skyrocket threads can be moved to their correct destinations...

This is from my first day with the phone, you can see it was idle for the first 7 or so hours while I was asleep, then what I would consider pretty heavy use, being my first day with the phone.
This is what mine looks like after 2 hrs
why do I think my screen is at 51 how high is your brightness? Just figured out that automatic screen brightness is set to certain brightness turned down maybe will help me get more battery life

Noticing your Galaxy S6 battery is draining too fast? This thread can help.
Part of the problem lies within a memory leak which is a known problem that Samsung is aware of and is reportedly patching in an upcoming update.
The other issue is Samsung attempts to load everything into memory and run several services in the background as well as hard loading the phone with bloatware.
Here is how I gained 30% better battery performance. Guaranteed
*Prerequisites
*Need to be rooted for every tip to work.
1. Disable anything you consider bloatware
2. Go to settings then application manager and disable both ANT radio service apps. You don't need this. Causes massive battery drain. Google it if you don't believe me.
3. Go to the app store and download "Servicely" from Franco. Paid app but worth the money...trust me. (Need root)
4. Once in servicely add running services and apps to your hit list, choose start at boot and run hit list while screen is off.
5. Reboot your phone. Give your phone a full charge and see the difference
Attached is a screenshot of realistic usage. I was on a poor lte signal for 9 hours and conducted several calls and used my phone moderately heavy. As you can see i got through my entire work day and still have 6 hours left at moderately heavy use.
Remember, this is realistic. I could have shown you a screenshot showing 18 hours left after only using it 1 hour. What I'm showing is a legit 9 hours of usage. Before I made these tweaks I would be at 10% battery or less after nine hours of the same usage.
Post your screenshots after 24-48 hours and let's see how much you are saving.

Do you have a VZW Galaxy S6?? or are you using a TMobile one?
Without doing most of what you have on the list:
Didn't load Servicely
Did not turning off ANT which is a low power service used by heart monitors and other physical monitors
Did already disabled the apps I don't use and
did the deal with the google services/play but not much other than that.
I don't play games on my phone, but I do use it for business, calls, lots of messaging and keep WiFi on most of the time except when I am between locations when I turn it off. I only use BT when driving and keep it off normally.
All of which can be done without root, though I have rooted my phone.
YMMV but a lot has to do with what apps you do use, what you actually turn off etc...

Yes I have VZW. Use your phone for a few days and you will start to see battery drain due to the memory leak primarily and your load of apps

I've had my phone for 10 days now. Rooted the first day, loaded my apps and configured that day and sunday so it was work ready on Monday. Ported my number over Monday morning. Pretty much the same for the past 7 days now since then.

Its kind of like who cares?
There are 24 hours in a day and I sleep at least 7 hours of that. The screen shot shows it is 6 in the evening, the phone has been on for just under 11 hours and it still 53% full with an estimated 12 hours left. Even if I am up for say another 5 hours or so, I will still have another 4-5 hours worth of power easily and since I sleep with my phone on a charger every night I won't run out.
On top of that I have AC powered chargers all over the place, in my home office, by my recliner in the living room, in my office at work and even in my truck where I have a two port USB charger with 2A each which is better than some AC chargers. That is in case I really start using battery power for some reason and need to recharge sooner than once a day. All of which was purchased when I had my Note 3.
The costs to get into this phone has been one of the lowest of any phone I have ever purchased since it uses the same chargers, same apps etc. The only thing I bought was a light case as it is slippery without one and I picked up a $12.88 QI charger to use at work.
The phone already gets better battery usage than my previous Note 3 with a larger battery in it.
Stand by drain is high.... s not really relevant.

Let's stay on original topic and let's share ideas and be kind to one another. No need to be adversarial. Let's just offer up some cool tips.
Hi all. Haven't seen any active battery life threads.
Curious what everyone is getting because I'm thinking my drain might be a bit worse than others are getting.
I'm on the AT&T variant. Off the charger for 13 hours today and at only 42%. I've really only used it to check notifications and that's it. So I'm averaging about 4-5% drain per hour. Is this normal?
Any tips for achieving better battery life?

-Are you using an always on Clockface? That affects battery alot. I have to charge every night. I am usually down to 20 or 30% at Night. That is with me playing with clock faces to try and find one I like and using the always on Faces.

Yeah I am and figured that would be the first question for me. Unfortunately that's one thing I can't live without...or at least don't want to.

-I still get all day battery. I get up around 6 am and put it on the charger at night around 10 and still have 20 to 30% so it isn't getting 2 or 3 days but I don't wear a watch at night anyway so it works for me.
Same here
I am also around 20-30% after a full day use, that is if I am only on bluetooth ... I think it is the qualcomm chip vs. the samsung one? My experience is definitely far away from the 3 days claim. C'est la vie, I love the watch!
used to last only 1 day, by the time i get home from work at 8pm it had 10~15% left. After the latest software update now I have 75~80% by the end of the day, it even last through out the next day so i only needed to charger it on the 3rd day, HUGE battery improvement. Whatever verizon or samsung did on the new patch it is awesome, I always have all connections enable (bluetooth, wifi, NFC, location, mobile, etc)
Is yours the 3g version?
Also is it AT&T and what is your software version?

IF so does it still perform well?
I ordered it a month and a half ago. I am still waiting for him to arrive in Bulgaria
Go for it!
I purchased this battery on November 02, 2018. But accu battery reports it's capacity around 3600mah for mine. So, been using it since 1 year and it still gives me 1½ day on normal usage. 5 to 6 hr SOT. Believe it or not. Check screen shot which is still when 46% battery left. I'm not a heavy user though. Just always on 4G, some nav, browsing & some full on music.
I always used to live with my finger plugged into a power socket before & never even dared to imagined my MXS could do such feat with this battery.

That's actually amazing I was barely getting 3 hours on mine. You could probably hit 7 hours on WiFi with light usage.

Hi sorry for late reply.
Just thought of updating one more time. So, I'm still getting 6 hrs of SOT on very lite usage though. My hands usually rest on my computer keyboard most of the time on any particular day and I use my phone more when I go out. But still I use it for a lot of voice calls when I'm home and some 4G for maps while I'm driving. It still shows more than 20% left when I reach home. Sometimes even I wonder as the battery still performs decent. I don't play any mobile games though.
