I had the Epic 4g and was not impressed at all with the battery life...even with just 3g only enabled and brightness low.
I was eyeing the Nexus S. Possibley...if anyone has had both...can tell me please how the Nexus S battery life compares to the Epic?

Few threads down there's a great discussion about the battery life, mate.

I can't compare it to the epic but I can compare it to the vibrant which was notorious for poor battery life. I just played NFS shift on my NS for 2 straight hours and my battery level barely moved. That's also with wifi and bt on. So far I'm very impressed with the battery life on this.

Does the evo have this?
Nope. In fact, when the Evo is on 3G, it starts recharging.

on wifi i get good life but on 3g it goes meh
I've noticed that 3G mode murders the battery as well. I was out last Saturday night and put the phone into 3g only mode because I hadn't tweaked it enough to trust battery life under 4G or WiFi. The damn thing was dead in 4 hours of very little use.
Really, it's not much wonder though because the 3G chipset in it is the first Rev.A chipset Qualcomm ever produced. Why they chose it I'll never understand.
Anyone know what kind of battery are they using for myTouch 4G? Battery life is everything to me and I'm not the kind of person who carries around a charger all the time. I bought an EVO 4G batterry (1700mAH) for my G2 and it's amazing. With the EVO 4G battery my G2 can last up to a whole day of heavy usage.
I know myTouch 4G is running on a 1400mAH battery but is there an extended battery like how the EVO 4G battery can fit into the G2.
1700 is the highest so far
I would expect the battery life on the Mytouch 4G to be pretty good, certainly much better than the EVO.
The processor is basically the same processor as the G2 clocked a little faster (1Ghz vs 800Mhz) and running Sense instead of Vanilla Android which would hurt the battery life, but the battery is larger 1400 ma, vs 1300 so I would expect the battery life to be close.
The G2 battery life is excellent, I consistently get over 18hrs with moderate usage and connected to WiFi a good bit of the time.
The Mytouch 4G battery is not as long as the G2's battery.
the new 1ghz snapdragon should use less battery compared to the older version since the chip size is smaller.
Today I am at over 9 hours using the phone for calls for about a third if that. Used the WiFi all day and have moderate usage.
Phone comes with decent battery life. I can tell you exact #s but it requires a battery pull and I'm currently typing on it so I don't think it would turn out so well. Lol

Is there less battery life with epic 4g compare to skyrocket?
I dont see as much threads about battery issue vs the skyrocket
Ummmmm I don't think your talking about the right phone your looking for the Samsung Epic 4g Touch which is sprints variant of the SGSII which is what skyrocket is but on At&T

We own an? Epic touch 4g and the old epic 4g. The epic touch has much better battery than my epic 4g...by far.
Either compared to a skyrocket I can't. But the et4g gets an average of 15 hours and 3 hour screen on time. My epic 4g is struggling w 12 hours and 2 hour screen on time. The et4g always has more left.

You also have to consider the stock battery on the OG Epic 4G is 1500 mAh and on the ET4G, it is 1800 mAh (20% more). Now you can put the 1800 mAh battery in the OG Epic 4G and then do a battery comparison test between the OG Epic 4G and the ET4G.
I consitently get 3-4 hours screen on time and 24 hours overall. Sounds like you need to reflash that Epic. I get 5 hours display time and 30 hours overall with the E4GT battery in mine.

If I'm on wifi that's no problem...my numbers were all 3g in sub par signal area. I could believe better if I was blanketed in nice green 3g coverage.

Yeah also remember the ET4G has a 20% bigger battery and is a lot newer than the Epic which I am sure has a worn battery.
Hello,
I am searching for phone with a good battery life. The newest reviews give the S4 really good battery life scores. But I am more interestet in real life tests by XDA members.
After looking at the battery posts in S4 forum I have to say that I am not really satisfied by the stats the user post.
The stats are really so medicore, that I sometimes really had to laugh.
How about the battery life compared with the note 2?
Not as good as the Note 2. Better than the GS3.

I heard that before, but I am not sure after reading the latest benchmarks.
Here is one for example. Just scroll down and press the "+" button.
The degree S4 scores is quite different compared to early reviews.
How can you compare the 2? The gn2 battery lady's forever, on my g's 4 depends on the usage of it go soft on it the most I got out of it is 5hrs screen on time with 1day5hrs uptime. Today I'm at 4 hours screen on time with 40prct left. I'm listening to soundcloud and played virtua tennis a bit. 9hrs uptime

Having jumped from a note2 to a s4 I can say the battery life sucks compared to it. Sucks badly imo.
On same usage from day to day the note2 would have 50 percent left at the end of the day. This one is barely holding on. And by that I mean moderate useage, push email, some gaming and Internet.

short answer: depends on what you use the most.
but,the galaxy s4 has great battery life lol... def better than my droid 3, i'll blow through that things 1500mah battery in less than a day easily, which moderate use lol
I'm interested in getting the phone, but there was something that really caught my eye. I was wondering why a phone like this, with 3000mah, gets only a little bit more battery life in stats compared to other phones with lower capacities, like the nexus 5, with only 2300mah but around the same battery life.
You're kidding right? G2 is well known to have the best battery out there.

Not sure where you are seeing that the G2 gets just a little bit better battery life than the Nexus 5, but if you look at several reviews that are out there, specifically ones where they do standardized battery run down tests, you will see that the G2's battery life is excellent in comparison to pretty much any other phone that are out there. On engadget for example, the G2 lasted 16 hours on their battery run down test while the Nexus 5 only lasted 7 hours and 20 minutes on the same test. Also in their review of the G2, the phone easily lasted 20 hours under 'heavy' usage while they only got 12 hours on the N5 with 'normal' usage.

Huh I guess I looked in the wrong places. But somewhat related to the topic, do any of you know if there are going to be any power cases released?
I have only gotten 3-4 hours of screen on time

I CANNOT count on 2 hands the number of times I've gotten 5 plus hours of screen on time on my D801. GSM vs CDMA of course but something else is up.

Nexus 5 have same battery life with G2?
Nexus 5 is nowhere near in terms of battery life
and 3000mah with Gram it's like having ~3500mah battery
