Hi Friends
My Advantage show battery life in percent, but it is add by 10%
it mean 10% 20% ... 90% 100%
it jump from 100 to 90
is any way to see complete percent?
SPB Gprs monitor show how much battery life work, but don't show the percent of battery
thanX

no, the reason this happens is due to the limitations of the internal circuitry of the battery.
In keepimg with many modern devices I expect the indicator is just that, an indicator!
It's not that accurate as the monitoring circuitry would be faily non cost effective for a consumer device.

I've got an issue and I'd like to know if anyone else is getting this. I've read the forum threads but I don't know what's considered "normal".
Well, simply put my battery power is pretty poor. With no GPS or push internet, my backlight on Auto, and “moderate” usage (8 hours standby, 90 mins on the phone and 3 hours “other” ranging from Internet to games to taking notes), my battery is almost wiped out! I can't get through the day!
This is a far cry from the specs on the HTC website (which claims up to 340 minutes’ talk time), and from reviews I’ve seen saying their phone lasted a few days without charging. Is this normal or do I need to get a battery replacement? My previous phone - an HTC Trinity - seems to have much longer-lasting power (beyond the simple difference in mAh).
I know, some people might consider the usage above to be "heavy" but as phones evolve to take on more and more functions, of course you're going to end up using those functions. I do have TF3D on (I know that appears to guzzle more power).
I am considering the 2200mAh battery but would prefer not to get it because of the thicker profile.
Comments or advice appreciated!
Thanks,

Sounds pretty 'normal' to me.
Make sure you keep your phone on charge whenever possible as this will maximise the useable capacity when not being charged.
but as phones evolve to take on more and more functions, of course you're going to end up using those functions.

You've summed it up - we use our phone with it's lovely screen much more than before.
3 hours “other” ranging from Internet to games to taking notes

This is where the battery goes, Internet and Games!
When you leave your phone overnight with nothing running, no push internet etc, the battery should only go down, say, 3-4% at a guess, which would indicate the battery's OK. If extrapolated, this indicates a few days standby only usage.
That's fair enough Pete. I'll test that out.
HTC website says the phone should last up to 360 hours on standby. Therefore 8 hours should use up 2.2% of the battery, say 3-3.5% to account for inaccuracy in the battery readings.
Unfortunately my battery only reads in increments of 10%, how do I display the remaining power to the nearest 1%?
Thanks,

There's loads of free alternative battery metering schemes, my own fave is "Batti", which puts a coloured bar full width across the top of the screen which shrinks as the charge goes down. If you touch the bar with stylus, you get a page with charge shown 0-100% in 1% increments. Batti's very configurable too.

Unfortunately the duration life of your battery is normal for the stock one.
I have these performance for the battery:
- half day for an intensive use
- one day for a normal use
- one day and half for a low use.

LOL...you are actually having a better luck than I
I think I actually damaged my battery by left it in the car for too long =(

Some say let it drain all the way, then fully charge...some say don't let it drop below 50%...i tried searching, but couldn't get solid info....so what really is the best way to charge a battery in order to get maximum battery life? thanks
Lithium ion batteries shouldn't be fully discharged on a regular basis; they prefer partial charges. It's useful to fully discharge occasionally however so that the phone knows the full range of the battery's charge states or the battery meter will be inaccurate.
It might be better to discharge to some particular level than another, but that's impractical. Best practice as far as I'm aware is to charge whenever possible. At least we have user-replaceable batteries if they do start to get weak!
Yes, 20%-40% drain is ideal balance of long-term battery life and not changing too often. Of course, the lower end of this would mean about an hour of use if you have the display on the whole time. So, best thing for the long-term life and ability to use your phone cord free is to own 2 batteries and change when possible.
I don't even bother to "calibrate" (run the battery down 100%) because I switch it often enough and I don't need to know if I have 40% left instead of 55%. If I have high use or only one battery on me then sometimes I'll let nature run it's course, but I never go out of my way for it.
Well in all honesty, I have to say that I've been doing the complete drain and full recharge for about 5 - 6 cylces since I got the phone about a week ago. Furthermore, I have set my autokiller to aggressive and I've seen a big improvement in the battery life. i.e. from 23 hours to about 1d and 20 hours.
is there any way to measure the battery consumption in mAH, as I read in battery trick they are saying the battery originally drops 50 mAH or more in standby, but after setting the trick they said that it got to 5 - 6 mAH, so how can it be measured?

is not only battery trick.... read other thing what you need to do... battery trick is useless if you have draining battery with other apps (dont use too much apps with live tiles, working in background, mail checking, etc..)...

But I used my iphone at work to watch videos, ect while there is downtime. I usually watch while it's also on the charger
For the Note series, does anyone know if that "kills" my battery for long term?
I know you can replace battery, but just wondering for future use.
Thanks.
Issue with battery drain due to android system is real
All three people I know that just got the Note 4 were experiencing the same issue I had with excess battery drain with the always generic "android system" taking more battery than anything else including the screen.
I downloaded an app called "System Tuner" and looked the CPU% for Android system and it was a constant 3-4% when the phone was otherwise idle.
I found a post at http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/80459 where they were experiencing the same issue (lose around 12% battery an hour with android system taking a huge chunk of battery). The person from that post was able to address the issue by turning location off, rebooting, turning location on, and rebooting again. After I did this I saw Android system idle at ~0.6% - 1.1% instead. So far I'm getting much better battery life but I'll need to give it some time to know for sure.
Hope this helps!
mine took about 2 full days for everything to finish syncing, downloading, indexing, etc. I had books, news articles, pinned music from google play, etc.
Once that happened, everything is now "normalized" and I'm getting better battery life than I was with the note 3.

Short answer: Maybe, it depends on how you are doing it. Using it while it is charging is not necessarily bad but watching videos and keeping it plugged in while the cell voltage is pegged at 100% will likely deteriorate your battery faster.
Long answer + tips:
Lithium ion batteries are great - they are light, can be made very thin and have excellent energy density but they are also very finiky.
Things to avoid doing with a lithium ion battery
-Charging to 100%, leaving it plugged in overnight is a poor practice(high cell voltages reduce the service life*, stopping the charge at 90%[4.10v] can double the service life, stopping the charge at 80%[4.00v] can quadruple the service life.*)
- Discharging the battery to below ~20% (Li-Ion batteries are somewhat sensitive to deep discharges)
-Charging/exposing Li-Ion to elevated temps or below freezing.
*service life is defined by when a battery can only retain 70% of its rated capacity. Most consumer batteries used in mobile devices have a service life of 500 charge discharge cycles.
It is not uncommon for batteries to lose 30% capacity in 1.5 years or less. Changing your charging and handling habits can double or quadruple a batteries life span.

LOL your picture took up have my damn screen on my 1080p laptop with 15.7 in screen. It was crystal clear too.
On my 2nd charge, auto brightness. Pretty freakin' amazing battery life....
15.5 hours off the charger with 8+ screen on time!
I got awful battery life on the first charge cycle. It drained 50% overnight. 2nd charge has lasted amazingly long and I still have 64% after 12hrs of average use.
First charge. Battery life has been phenomenal. Brightness on auto.
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Definitely improve battery with recent update and I'm a power user
After the latest update
I dont know why but my phone goes from 100-90 in less than a hr with minimal use while the screen is set at auto, also in the leaving it unplugged in the night the battery also drains like 5 points.
I've been at full brightness and using the hell out of it non stop so far, and I'm at 35% with screen on time at 3hrs 40 min.
No update

Was just wondering if anybody else had run into this. It says I'm at 94% and its showing I only have 5 hours of battery life estimated left. Can this be right? My Samsung S7 Edge has 87% and it's showing it's going to last 10 hours. I'm running 7.0 nougat also.
Uh, that statistic doesn't mean jack ****.
If I've hardly touched my phone for a few hours, it's going to say 20+ hours remaining (with the current usage), so that is completely irrelevant for almost any case.
it's the estimate based on the current use, so if you unplug the phone from the charger (100%) and use your phone for 20min and the battery go down to 94%, then the estimate will be based on that and will show ~5hour left.
so basicaly , what adsubzero said : "that statistic doesn't mean jack ****."

Uh I know it's not 100 percent accurate but thought it was odd that it should that little. Thanks for your wonderful insight.

It's not that it isn't 100% accurate, it shouldn't ever be even considered.
It basically takes into account what have you been doing since the last full charge and tries to project the remaining battery life.
That would only be accurate if you were using the phone in the same linear behavior from 100% to 0%.
The conclusion: don't worry about that.
That's would be 5h SOT if you using it constantly until the battery drain out completely

Check the screenshot.
So this would mean I have 13h SOT left?
Nope, over the 9h I've used 40% of the battery, so it estimated that it would take 13h for the remaining 60%.
See how it draws a straight line to 0 from 100, which means it's a simple linear calculation.
If I went beast mode and started gaming it would be at 0% in 2h or less, and that is a big miscalculation which is why it shouldn't be taken seriously.
