Going to the Sprint store - Epic 4G General

to get a new battery. I'm pulling 5 hours of life without even touching the damn thing, great signal and nothing running in the background.
Should I flash it back to stock before I go?

Enjoy getting your 2 years reset just for saying hello. That's usually how it works.

It was a bad joke.
I got a second battery (both OEM) and the new battery lasts twice as long as the one that shipped with my phone. Hmph.

let me know how it goes. I might be in for the same thing tomorrow.

Yes it needs to be flashed to stock first. But before that, go to settings-->Applications---->Running Services-----> and make sure to kill the one that has DRM in it. I went from the same situation at you are in to getting a day and a half of battery life.

Killing DRM hasn't helped me at all.
I've calibrated the battery, run different roms.
It's always terrible.

Turns out it was a ****ty battery.
I'm excited! Fresh battery HO

So what's the longest uptime you've had?

I just crossed the 350 hour mark and shooting for 1000 hours of uptime. This started as an experiment to see how long it would take without a reboot for the phone to slow down. So far, it's still running as fast as it typically does after a reboot.
How about you guys? I think I'm going to try and see if I can hit a month without rebooting.
I'm at the 250 hour mark now and the only reason it's not higher is because I've run it completely dry of battery a couple of times
edit:
Getting my 1600mAh and 2800mAh batteries from Seidio today though, so the counter is gonna reset again ;(
Iam on 380 hours of uptime in writing moment

With those new batteries how much longer can you expect to be able to use it say with standard use?
Mine lasts a full day mostly so far. Just curious.

I didn't look at mine. I normally don't have uptime of more than 24 hours since I frequently have to reboot to check the function of my morphs.
I've had about 280 before. Since I've rooted though, there's a bug in the superboot that I've done that wrecks the phone every other day or so. Something with memory card access. I'm trying to find a rock-solid ROM with himem and root. Speaking of that, suggestions?

This is the wrong thread for that, but I'd suggest trying all of them and testing yourself. That's part of the fun.
305 hours, had to reboot due to sms/signal issues.
Once and a while I will have service but will be unable to send sms. Weird.

No fair, you're on stock!
(I'm not speaking of stability here, but for those of trying new things we're always flashing )
I'm currently at 117 hours on Modaco's Desire Alpha10
Personally I'd say anything over 1 week (168 hours) is just awesome for me.

A little off-topic but ok. It's just simple math really, the standard battery is 1400mAh. The 1600mAh would therefore last 14% longer and the 2800mAh battery would last twice as long as the 1400mAh battery.
I'm at 630 hours right now. Probably the most I have seen it at but yeah, I don't really check that much. Do I win a prize?

No, but you're the man to beat.
btw, I Just posted a new DroidUptime version. Now it supports Android 1.5 devices.
270 hrs, then it rebooted by itself.

Can't you plug it into the wall jack so that you don't loose power while changing the battery? I can do this with my tilt. My previous phone had a switch on the battery door that shut it off. I'm not sure about the N1.
Mine is at 1171 beat me?

What Happened to my Batt Life?

My battery in the past few days has gone to ****. The same thing happened to a friend of mine's S3. I can be at 60%, then go to use the cam or send somebody a pic and the phone shuts off. It use to last all day. GPS is off no new software and friend had it start happening at the exact same time.
Buy a new battery, get your friend one to.

It will be good to know what kind of rom are you running and/or any other important spec, so you get a better answer than the one above.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I have to agree with Mr. Clown. If you want help you need to leave more information. It could be a software issue that is know and quickly solved. Does your friend have the same carrier? You may find that the phone is in between two masts and constantly changing from one to another.
Hope you resolve the issue.

To drop from 60% to zero is very unusual, normally because the battery no longer holds it's charge. If you give minimal information then you can only get minimal help...

[Xperia X F5121] Incredible Battery Life on Nougat (Concept 38.3.A.0.107)

Just wanted to point out, without evidence yet, that battery life on Nougat (Concept update 38.3.A.0.107) is amazing. I'm talking about days here.
¿Anyone else experiencing this?
As for the evidence, I will charge my phone to 100% today and upload a battery life screencap as soon as I can.
What? I need that firmware! My battery goes from 80 to 70 in 5 minutes On screen time!!!
Hi,
Just a quick update with a screenshot. Just 2h short of a day with 14% to go, the mostly horizontal part of the graph happened when I was asleep.
SOT for that is 3h13m

Um... ok?
Maybe I'm coming from a terrible phone and this seems very good then.
Nevertheless, I can tell you for sure that my phone isn't dropping 10% batt in 5min SOT.

well now that I have applied some fixes and calibration it isn't in mine either. I am not sure really, but 3 hours of SOT is just not good, and Im coming from a bad phone too
I'm thinking x-reality might be disabled afteryour update. My screen takes up 30 percent battery with x-reality on.
I never havwe x reality on.. seriously yoy think I didnt check it or what

I dont understand.. my phone is brand new, I have optimasations, underclock and everything except wifi is off.. what am I doing wrong? I have also calibrated the battery, full discharge ans full charge, its not any app im using since with stock and. nothing. installed battery runs the same.. Also the camera is worse after the drm fix than before drm fix (too much noise) the hell is wrong with my phone??

you too are in concept rom? because that is standard now battery going way too fast, try installing gsam app and give permissions via adb so you can check which app is consuming too much power, i have done it but i still can't figue out what is causing it

No, I am using the poison nougat rom. Actually, I have been using gsam for 2 weeks I think, just like you I cannot find the problem. My SOT is 3 hours, 4 hours at best. And keep in mind that is with very simple usage , not any intense apps or games

Every phone has these kind of problems
My battery life is shocking. I do use my device a lot so it's understandable.
There is battery tweaks out there to help people with problems. Someone will bring something out or find something for our devices

Correct, but in our case it is beyond normal. 3 hours O-S-T is not normal for this phone in any case

Yeah, I understand what you mean, the problem here is that we do not know if it's connected to software (or somehow to the bootloader / root probably not though) or if it's the actual phone being faulty. I doubt it's faulty, I have absolutely no problems apart from the drainage

Battery draining sort of quickly

Ciao,
Does this mean a problem with my battery, or the rom, do you think? I hope I don't have a bad battery, it's only 1 year old. My battery drains sort of quickly; maybe 3% in 7-10 mins, screen on time.

Try SuperXe 8.1 stable flashable stock. I've been using for couple weeks now and battery/standby is incredible
I've already tried it. It's about the same for me. Thanks though.

Well unless your restoring app data with TB and apps are going rogue, you probably have a weak battery. It's known that original baterries in the 6p are crap. I went with a cheapie from eBay and haven't looked back. Best of luck mate
Thanks, I'll have to find a shop or something.

Try this app and see what your battery status is.

I think the status is "damaged battery", but I'll run this for a few days, and see what it says.

Heat

Hi guys! So I was wondering to replace my battery, because i got about 2-3 SOT. But I'm not sure, my N6P heating, so i wondering you guys could tell what's going on with this phone.. Even after Hard Reset, at the same time its really hot. Could be that phone going to die? Or could battery replace help solve this problems? Don't judge me, I don't know to much about the phones.
Thanks and have a good day.
I replaced my battery after almost 2 years of use. Fixed all the battery problems and now I get 4-5 hours.
Get a new battery and replace it in a certified store if you don't want to do it yourself (the 6p isn't that easy to work with)
Make sure its a new original battery.
BTW heat wont make your battery life worse. It will actually slow down your phone and maybe save so battery.
If you have any questions or i didn't clearly something feel free to ask.

Battey - Yiu know how to fix

Maybe then it will come back

Returning to stock completely should fix most of these kind of bugs. So I believe it should work.
