ATT REFUSES TO EXCHANGE what do I do?

I have had horrible battery life, I've got a replacement battery etc from att and they REFUSE to replace my phone! I'm still under warranty, have no scratches, cracks or water damage, I bought my phone in december of last year, and my battery only lasts 6 to 7 hours! What can I do!

6-7 hours on LTE with medium to heavy usage sounds about right.

Read my previous thread. I never used DATA. I have Everything off except wifi. Thats HORRIBLE battery what are you talking about? I never said Moderate to heavy usage. Never use LTE.

What was the reason they gave you for not warrantying the phone?
EDIT:
Oh. You bought it in December and there's really no obvious defect. Why would they? You had 30 days to gripe about the battery life and didn't.

Sorry to hear about that. It may be that you do have something wrong with your phone. To be sure, give Juice Defender a try and see if that helps your battery life.

Yeah. My previous thread. About my battery problems. Don't post if you aren't gonna answer my question... Just saying.
I have had a battery replaced, I've reverted to stock rom, updated, etc, done everything I can, every fix etc. I can't get near the 30 hour battery lifes I can see. Why would I get 6 hours MAXIMUM no talk time, 400-500 texts a day, data lte and gps and bluetooth off, brightness down. Thats pathetic battery. Idk what else to do.
The reason Given for not replacing is that is the average battery use. But on the specs it reports 7 hours of TALK TIME.

Why would you expect me to read a previous thread that you did not link to? I answered your question based on the information you gave in THIS thread based on my own experience. I responded to your question, it just wasn't the answer you wanted.

How long would your battery last with data on? Whenever I leave
wifi on, my battery drains. For everything else, it lasts the whole
day without charge on moderate to heavy use with lte.
Maybe try your luck with a different att rep?

With my previous skyrocket, I would easily get 14 + hours.

Relax. He's only offering some information to help you. The battery life on your phone is on par for that device. I have the original Galaxy S II and I average about 8-9 hours with heavy use, and an entire day with normal use. Just about all dual core CPU Android based super phones are going to have mediocre battery life. That's just the way it is. You can always get an extended battery, which should give you an additional 3-4 hours of useage. Aside from that, there's not much you can do about it.
What exactly do you expect us to do for you? You've tried other ROMS, a different battery, lowering the brightness, etc. If they sent you another battery, that means you have two batteries now. That should be plenty to get you through the day. You could always try trading the Skyrocket for a Galaxy S II, which is a better phone anyways as it has the Exynos CPU and slightly better battery life.
BTW, 400-500 texts per day is a LOTof screen on time, which would e plain the 7 hour battery life. And leaving WiFi on will also kill ypur battery life. WiFi is a huge power hog. My guess as to why AT&T refuses to swap your device is because you rooted it and installed custom ROMS. (which voids the warranty). And believe me, they know if you did that because they check the custom ROM counter.

what is your screen on time? You sound like you use your phone slightly less than i do. Im lucky to get 5hrs out of my phone. Been this way with every smart phone ive had since the original droid.....and ive had a lot. 400-500 texts means your screen is on every couple of minutes.

I would agree with this. Display time is a huge battery drain. In fact, it's usually my largest battery drain (even more than LTE).
If you only turn on Wifi when it's available, then you will save battery because Wifi is more power efficient than 3G/4G. Otherwise, it will drain battery searching for a network. This also means if you use NO data, then turning off Wifi completely will save power.

Turning on and off your phone that many times will do it in six hours.

to add---talk time assumes the screen is off for that time.

Call them back again and tell them that now your phone got hot and then shut off. say that you used your friends skyrocket battery to see if device still worked and it didnt. they will send a new one.
make SURE you tell them that it just got hot, and shut off. now it wont turn on at all.
Also, if the person you are talking to wont help you just say fine, hang up, call back. still doesnt work? repeat.
Im really not joking. just the other day i had to call them 3 times just to send me a replacement device.
Good Luck!

Mines got that hot before...its not a big deal. It generally doesn't go any higher than that and mostly only happens when its pulling alot of power from the battery to maintain a stable connection (poor signal areas). Most of the time, it doesn't get that hot. If your phone is continuously getting hot, you might want to replace it, but just occasionally and for short periods of time it can be normal. If your not using the phone under certain conditions, it might never get that hot for you. Plus, these phones seem to vary depending on the batch that was created. If it is causing problems, or getting any hotter, or staying hot, or if it just rubs you the wrong way....yea, try to get it replaced.

If it reaches a certin temp it will shutoff. But maybe your batt is starting to go bad. Unless your overclocked/ under volted then that's obviously the problem.

Oh yea, this reminds me to also mention to make sure your battery is seated well and the contacts are clean.
Come to think of it, Mine got that hot a few times when I was using a different radio / modem other than the on that was supposed to be with the ROM I was on at the time. Again, it wasn't a big deal or long lasting event (not hot enough to shutdown) but maybe the missmatched code was making it work a little harder at the time.

Lately due to summer and the increasing heat, while I'm driving my car using the gps and charging the phone I get a warning that's the battery is too hot and it stops charging.
When i checked the temperature its around 47 Celsius degrees, so like someone said its just a lot of power running through your device.

i have a powerskin case with my skyrocket and it gets that hot all the time when i am charging my phone and playing games at the same time

This happened to me on the first leak. I found that it was exchange mail causing the problem. Once I stopped using it, the battery drained much less and did not get hot anymore.

Have you try to clear the memory? maybe you have alot of stuff running on the background.

One thing I noticed today is by reducing the screen brightness to the minimum the phone requires significantly less power and is not heating as much.
Today while driving home from uni with gps and charging it barly got to 40 degrees Celsius (sorry im using this but you americans always have to be different, start using the metric system!), while usually it gets to 47+ asap and then stops charging.
Although today wasn't as hot as always so maybe it helped a bit.

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Google Pixel XL stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Does really well with heat. Under heavy use, it gets warm, but not hot.

Hottest mine has gotten was 104 F

Under normal everyday use this phone struggles to get hotter than ambient, and under load like during setup, where normally devices can get quite hot, the pixel doesn't.

No heating I seen .... early yet but I pushed the device and seen no problems.

Mine gets pretty warm when charging, aluminum is a great conductor for heat so no surprise.

I'm liking where this thread is headed so far. I love my 6P but can't take the throttling anymore. Can't wait to chime in when my XL comes in Tuesday.
Edit: Just got my phone in yesterday and got it setup. The phone did not get hot and throttle once during the entire setup process. That is a feat in and of itself compared to the 6P. Still haven't had any throttling issues playing games in areas with terrible signal either.

My Nexus 6 got super hot with games. Can't wait to get my hands on the Pixel XL

Gets a bit warm but doesn't seem to impact performance in any way

Mine gets warm with Facebook and chrome viewing

Does anyone else's phone stay warm after charging to 100%? It was charging overnight with the supplied USBA to USBC cable slow-charging from my PC (which is what I do most of the time to charge any phone) and when I went to unplug it this morning, it was warm to the touch. Much warmer than what I'm used to with any other phone. Usually, when I unplug in the morning, the phone is cold.
Anyone else experience this?

Not noticing any problems with heat on mine. My LG G4 would frequently have to stop charging because it got too hot. Nothing like that on this phone.

Coming from owning Moto, HTC, and Samsung phones the Pixel is the coolest by far. Even while updating apps, streaming media, and browsing the internet/social media simultaneously I've only had get what I would consider slightly warm. I also haven't experienced any CPU throttling whatsoever. This phone is in a class by itself in terms of this stuff.

I had the same phone and same problem when using GPS, charging, streaming a lot of video, and just in general. It made it uncomfortable to hold. My Pixel XL has not given me heat problems so far in any way. As a lot of other people have said already it seems to just get warm at the very most.

So does that mean you can charge, use the GPS, and stream video with no issues? I frequently use my device as a music player and navigation in the car. My M9 currently gets too hot to charge unless the air conditioner is blowing on it.

Any reason in particular as to why you would use the slow-charging cable as opposed to the fast-charging one? I just got my Pixel XL and would love to know if this affects the internal battery in the long run. In terms of heat, can't say I have experienced anything. I used it for 3 hours straight and it wasn't even hot. Mind you I had the screen around 20% brightness.
The screen on this beast is amazing! Once indoor, I can set it to minimum and I'm fine. :good:

This device never gets hot for me with one exception: Daydream. Daydream makes this device hotter to the touch than any device I've ever used. I think this is part of the reason for the metal frame: to conduct heat away from internals and allow to dissipate.
Under normal usage the Pixel XL does not get hot. During fast charging it may get a little warm. Under daydream usage it's hell's furnace.

Yes it does.

Well one thing seems very evident already to me even after only a day, the stanby battery drain is greatly improved compared to my note 8. Guess they were right when they said the SD845 was far less power hungry at idle. Now it still not iPhone level stanby time but for a Sammy it's damned impressive so far.

@iunlock, if you don't mind how many minutes (and seconds) does your S9+ take to complete the CPU and compute tests on Geekbench 4?

I have a note 8. Do u notice any different in scrolling smoothness. I really dont care about apps opening a milli second faster.

I have my Note 8 all jazzed up, locked down with all animations off so it is super quick. To an average person, one would not really be able to tell, but to the trained eye, the S9+ will seem just a tad bit snappier. It's not much difference though. (ie...You know those slow mo's that they show in races of first and second place crossing the finish line? It's close )

Hmm that's odd, because I've tested my S9+ multiple times next to my S8+ and it only lost 1% over night, whereas the S8+ lost 4%.
Have you debloated your phone from all the leaches? Try something like Hibernation manager, Greenify, and BK Package Disabler to clean up your system a bit.
Any leaking ship will sink so if you have apps that are running in the background (process) then there's your culprit.

The difference is honestly astounding to me. My note 8 wouldve been dead 3-5x over compared to the kind of use I'm getting out of my s9+. I just spent the last 5 hours playing some dumb game on my phone and I'm only down to 60%. My note 8 wouldve been done about 3 hours in and I'd still be charging it up at this point.

Very odd. I'm enjoying a 2-3% power drop over a 6-8 hour window. Think one night it was close to 4% but at this point splitting hairs.
So use to my old phones requiring me to charge overnight because they'd loose so much during that time with push notifications, apps updating, etc. This I can feel confident that I'm not going to kill it if I don't charge it overnight and thanks to quick charge its amazing that I can get a few hours use in no time.

One thing is for sure. The new SD845 is much more efficient than the SD835.
I have both the S8+ and the Note 8, that I use daily...

The difference is honestly astounding to me. My note 8 wouldve been dead 3-5x over compared to the kind of use I'm getting out of my s9+. I just spent the last 5 hours playing some dumb game on my phone and I'm only down to 60%. My note 8 wouldve been done about 3 hours in and I'd still be charging it up at this point. Super impressed with the battery on this beast

Very nice. Thanks for adding on to the confirmation. :highfive:
For those getting bad battery life on the S9+, you've 'gotta' fix the leaks...

Having fanatic battery life here. Phones not even getting warm. 1.5 hours in PUGB on max ingame settings. Plus an extra 2 hours screen time. When playing it was roughly 10-12% per 20-25min match.

OnePlus 6 Battery Performance: Initial Impressions

Hey guys, I almost got around 10 hours of screen on time with casual usage. So, I think I can easily get around 7 hours with gaming. How is your battery performing?

Got about 5.5 hours of SoT with some heavy use. Was gaming (idle game that keep the screen on), along with some pokemon go. All while downloading a few thousand songs, updating apps, OS etc. Considering my s6 lasted about 1.5hrs if I did this I'm well satisfied.
Also charged it before bed, and was at 99% when I woke up 8 hrs later, even with all social media apps installed.

99% after 8 hours? That's seem odd. Mine gets to 100% in 1:30 hours.

I think he is saying 1% reduction in battery from full charge overnight so very good screen off idle drain

I was able to get over 10 hours SOT regularly with my OnePlus 5. I'm hoping it's just as good if not better. But I'd settle for about the same due to the larger screen with more pixels.

Phone seems to run a bit hot. Got better SoT from 5t, but that was with LineageOS.

5t got 1hr Screen on per 10%

59 minutes of PUBG reduced 23% battery. This is without gaming mode.

I think so but I am not 100% sure. I will play again and then I will let you know.

Are there any tips for maximizing battery health over the long term?
Like avoiding half charges and all that kind of stuff?

I'm also really enjoying this phone. Ive been using it a lot today on 4G with no WiFi. No gaming but mainly social media apps and roughly on track for just under 10 hours SOT.
This is my first run with a rooted phone as the last couple of days have been stock and getting between 7 to 8 hours SOT.

the autonomy is excellent and depends on the use too.
in my case I have 1 day according to the usage see 2 in moderate use.
after I invite you to search the net energy-consuming apps, you will be surprised and surely understand better your over-consumption.

Pokémon go for a couple of hours while playing music, playing marvel strike force, watching a fair bit of YouTube on top of constant Facebook and WhatsApp activity I get a solid 7 and a half hours. Not quite as good as my Nokia 8 I came from but definitely happy.

I get 6 hours with very light use with quite a low brightness and as many black themed apps as possible.

Actually the best way to maintain a lithium battery would be to charge it from like 60 to 70 percent and never let it go above or below that.
More realistically, plug your phone in to charge up to somewhere around 80% when you get a chance throughout the day, avoiding letting it go below 40% when possible. Don't worry about charging your phone to 100% when you might need the battery though (for example don't risk getting lost without a phone for 911/GPS on a hike), just mainly avoid leaving plugged in WHILE it's at 100% and definitely do not store it at full or nearly/completely dead charge for long periods.
The charging port is a completely separate ribbon for the OP6 that should be stupid easy to replace so my advice on that would be don't worry about damaging your charging port as long as you're not handling your phone constantly while it's plugged in. For me, I'm going to wait until the charging port assemblies get really cheap and then buy maybe 2 or 3 for future use, so I won't have to worry about wearing out the phone, it's certainly more desirable to open it up and lose the water resistance than to have to buy a whole new phone simply because of a non functional charging port.
