Last night I let the battery drain all the way to shut the phone off. Then I plugged it and left it charging overnight so this morning I started with a full charge.
Right before the phone died again tonight (1%battery) I read the following use:
cell standby 47% 12:47
phone idle 42% 12:22
bluetooth 7% 1:57
wifi 4% 1:01
display 3% 0:24
In short, the battery lasted to keep the phone on for less than 13 hrs, including 2 hrs of bluetooth, 1 hr of wifi and just 24 mins of actual screen usage.
Is this the expectancy, or my battery is failing?
Thanks
It's hard to tell.. There are a lot of other variables to take into account other than those stats.
It would be nice to have an idea of how much usage/standby people get, just for reference.
Thanks

I had my phone charged last night and it died before i woke up in the morning. Now i just finished my charge almost 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, and its already 90 percent. And i have nothing but gtalk running, and a fresh install. Is this possible its a battery problem?
Did you check your battery use in the settings menu under phone status? It breaks down what used all your charge. If you already hooked it up and charged it full, it might be too late to tell since it wipes the last charge's results off.
Keep an eye on that and see if there is something in that list killing your battery more than normal. If everything in there looks ok, it's possible your battery is bad.

That seems normal.
Maybe you have the problem where an SMS is received and the screen stay on? Some people were reporting that problem in another thread. That would definitely kill your battery if you received a message sometime during the night.
I'm at:
Display: 52% 37min
Cell Standby 15% 3hr
Beautiful Widgets 13%
Phone Idle 13% 2hr20min
Bah that sucks, is there a fix for that sms thing? I havent seem it once yet. So basically 10 percent in 2 hours of no use is normal? I thought this phone could be on idle for days. eh.

Sorry, I missed the part where you stated the battery is at 89%...
My phone, on the first charge, lasted 28 hours with moderate to heavy usage. It should last a lot longer if it's just in standby.
Do you think i should go tomorrow to get my battery replaced?

How long have you had your phone? I'd give it a few days of fully charging/discharging to break in the battery and go from there. But the phone should definitely last you at least all day with moderate use.
I have had it since the night of the 18th. Well i mean i can try that, but it feels like its not the case. I dont know... bah
Display 57%
Cell Standby 14%
Phone Idle 9%
Voice Calls 8%
Camera 5%
Android System 3%
Android OS 2%
Of course it doesn't talk about the 30minutes of Wifi, the 30 or so minutes of watching some videos. Nor does it address surfing the net for around 60minutes and various emails through out the day.
Uptime 17:26:38
Battery 32%
Last night around this same time I had around 20%.
So it does seem to be improving a bit. Of course I wont know until tomorrow's usage.
I unplugged it around 6am and now its 11:37pm. So its lasting as long as I have so far. When I hit the sack I'll plug it in and go for it again tomorrow. As long as it has power when I go to bed then we will get a long just fine.

Remove widgets, lower your brightness, turn off GPS, turn off WiFi, set your notifications to a later time, and close unused running programs and see if that helps.
Personally if I'm below 75% and I have access to a charger, I just keep it plugged in to charge.
I had a fresh reinstall last night, and i lost 32 percent battery from 11pm to 10am without using the phone but for maybe 5 text messages.
I dont think this is normal...

+1.... Welcome to the inconsistencies of Android.
- Widgets off
- GPS in the task bar on. It only fires it up when it needs it anyways
- Screen Brightness I don't know I think its set to around 17-25% or so
- I turn off all that haptic feedback nonsense
- 3G off
- Wifi off
- Regular background
- I'm not running exchange or anything fancy that constantly looks for email, good old Gmail.
At least thats what I have my phone set up for. "What do you mean you don't have 3G on. Edge is so slow" Yeah its so useful when your phone is laying there doing nothing.
Same i have all that crap turned off. But i get bad battery times. Im thinking of returning and getting my battery replaced today. It wont hurt
Install Battery Graph and see how fast your battery drains at certain time intervals. You can probably tell if it's an app or not causing the problem if you see a big drop in a short time interval.
I was having the same issues for the first three day however I spent A LOT of time playing and tweaking as this is my first Andriod... I would unplug it at 6am and by 8am (with little to no use) I was down to about 65% but I was still thinking about replacing it.
I did the GPS Update and it seems to have helped a TON... Dunno what the coloration is (maybe the bad GPS signal was constantly looking and draining the battery) but it seems to really help.
Hope this helps some.
What is the GPS Update? You mean the fix in the Development section?
performed a little test this morning, wanted to see how much battery gets drained by just leaving the screen turned ON on different brightness settings. Here are my results:
screen test
9:03 90% wifi/3g off, screen brightness 100% (non-airplane-mode)
9:23 83%
9:43 75%
9:53 71%
10:03 67%
finished
batt usage - display 85%, xscope 6%, android system 3%, live paper 3%, cell standby 2%
100% brightness for 1 hour drained 23% battery , 4% PER 10MIN
-------------------------------
10:04 67% wifi/3g off, screen brightness 30% (non-airplane-mode)
10:14 65%
10:44 58%
10:54 56%
11:04 54%
display 86%, xscope 5%, live wallpaper 4%, android system 3%, cell standby 2%
-----
30% brightness for 1hour drained 13% battery, 2.16% per 10mins.
------------------------------
11:06 53% wifi/3g off, screen brightness 20% (non-airplane-mode)
11:26 51%
11:46 46%
12:06 41%
20% brightness for 1hour drained 12% battery , 2% per 10mins
display 87%, live 4%, xscope 4%, android system 3%, cell standby 2%
so to sum it all up, this is not a very accurate test, just a test I did to see for myself how the screen affects the battery life as I notice my battery drains quickly especially while browsing etc...
just thought I share this with the community incase anyone is interested in these results!
i use it on the lowest brightness (as i do with all screens etc) and get a good day and a half - around 35 hours i'd say...
It would be more accurate if they all startet at 100% battery. But still it shows us enough, the screen sucks energy.
I think many people would like an app that is able to change settings in to the auto brightness setting. So that when the phone thinks, hey it's light, let's do 80% brightness, you can set it so that it will think let's do 60% brightness.
That would be nice. Sorry for the bad explanation, I''m tired
This is odd. On idle, it took nearly 3 hours to go from 62% to 61% which I'm very happy with. After that it started going down a bit quicker. Waking up after 7 and a half hours, the battery had gone from 49% to 42%, so about 1% per hour. While that's not so bad, why would it start to go down fast? Since it took nearly 3 hours to move 1%, I'd have thought it should be at about 46 or 47% after waking up. Is there a % threshold where the battery drains quicker?
Current uptime, mostly from idle, and power saving mode from 50%.

maybe this battery drain problem started randomly on you device after 61% ...
but you do not have this wifi sharing or manager app that drain battery..this is strange..maybe your battery needs to be calibrated

Thanks for your reply. Where do I find the battery calibration setting? I can only find calibration for gyrosensor and horizontal.

Do you have any apps running at all? Mine is going from 100% to 10% in ~7-8 hours with mid usage :-(
Hi, got my e7 2 days ago, updated to kk.
Everything working but call standby and WLAN eating battery, screen on for 3h 10min(consumed 10% of battery) and after 12h I have only
10% battery left. The phone wasn't awake while screen is on so it is probably not an app keeping the phone awake..
So .. wifi is always on(on battery stats, but I turned if off for 3h) and even so it shouldn't consume 28% of battery.
Standby consumed 29% of battery! But always got full signal and talked just for 10-15min.
I've done root with 360root and remove(suspend)some apps with 360root.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi
Brand new phone here, not rooted and fully stock.
During last three days I noticed a huge battery drain overnight, so I installed Better Battery Stats. Being not rooted I don't see many info but one thing is clear: after 6h being idle, I have lost 17% and BBS shows one single line as per attached screenshot.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks
try turning off wifi and anything that syncs constantly. go into settings, battery and see what it shows. no need for an extra app.
????
I don't want to turn off wifi at night.
With my edge+ all was remaining on and I would use only 4% overnight
I have the same problem. Go to sleep at night and wake up 7 hours later with 40% drain during the night. I don't use wifi.

I've had this phone for a week, and the first 3 days all was ok, but during the last 3 nights I am experiencing this huge drain overnight.
Problem is I am not rooted (and am not willing to root right now, till Android N comes) so I cannot really use wakelock detectors to see what's going on.
Phone is set up exactly like my Samsung S6 Edge+ and this one drain max 5% overnight.
Again go into settings and battery and see what is being used
Ok tonight I'll check
Here it is.
Unplugged and left 6h idle overnight with wifi on.
Lost 12℅
I cannot understand what's going on

Please note this happens only at night while phone is idle.
During day battery seems OK and wifi or idle do not show up in battery usage.
Also from the screenshot I see only 1% and a very low mA usage, so I don't understand why I lose so much battery when nothing is going on.
Is this really a problem? Your phone is losing between 2% and 3.3% per hour. That doesn't seem that bad. Mine is around 6% during the day (I have it plugged in during the night).
2% per hour in doze at night is a huge problem

Yeah, that kind of drain is an issue. I lose like 1% every 6 or 7 hours overnight with phone in doze with 2 maint. cycles
