...4 hours of heavy usage (wifi connection and 3g on but idle)
Mid to periodical usage could reach 24h.
6th day of usage....
i think this is mediocre for me. please report your battery performance to compare.
Any tips to improve this?
I can get around 8-10 hours with heavy usage... constant music, etc.. and about 2-3 days with light-medium usage.

Hmm so i guess there is a problem with my device.
Great!, and how am i supposed to explain this to the service?
I get about 12 to 15 hours of heavy usage via web, text, and email. If i watch video it's less but I am pretty happy with the battery thus far.

I can only get around 7 hours of use.
I have a problem that if i even dont use it, the battery still drain. I got it full charged and theb unplug it. About 8 hours later, it went down to 50%.
Is there any problem with my device?

same here. i don't know how you guys are getting so much better battery life. i can barely last a day and i don't use it all that much. maybe 2-3 hrs of surfing the web over wifi (not even 3g). i even used setcpu to underclock to 200Mhz when screen is off.
Maybe it has something to do with the very first charge.
When i unboxed the battery was fully charged so i drained it and had it charged for 8 hours. maybe it needed to be charged prior first usage.

Is that 12-15 hours with the screen on? Because that's much more than I'm seeing.
I've done a few measurements just to get an idea of the battery life. They are just extrapolations based on a few hours of runtime for each so they are by no means exact, but my impression is that they give a decent view of real values nonetheless. The battery percentage indicator does not seem to be terribly non-linear.
Video playing (SD quality) with full brightness: 5.5 hours
Video playing (SD quality) with lowest brightness: 9.5 hours
Idle at homescreen with full brightness: 6 hours
Idle at homescreen with half brightness: 9 hours
Idle at homescreen with lowest brightness: 12 hours
Music playing in headphones (screen off): 90 hours
Can't believe how lazy reviewers seem to be, I haven't read a single one where they have properly measured battery life for things like playing movies or reading an ebook. It's all just subjective feelings (which are obviously very unreliable).
All in all I am pretty pleased with the battery life (but I've just had it for a few days). I especially like the fact that it's basically a normal Android phone just with a giant screen and battery. This obviously means that standby and music playing times are going to be excellent.
Edit: Those of you who think you're seeing bad battery life, what does the battery use thingy in settings say? Or is that not a good tool?
I read a post somewhere where the OP was getting horrible battery life and found out that the Gallery app was draining the battery.
The OP in that thread said even exiting the app did not kill it, and it kept draining the battery.
Perhaps you can look into this more. I never use the gallery app so maybe why this is why i get decent battery life?
Edit to add:
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826472&highlight=gallery
If it's this post you're referring to it's by me . The Gallery application shows up under battery use though, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Are you sure it's really as much as 12-15 hours with the screen always on? If it were 9-10 hours with brightness at half it would around what I'm seeing I guess, but 12-15 is quite a lot more. Not that I'm disappointed, but if better is possible better is what I want

No not 12-15 hours with the screen always on.... I get 12-15 total... Screen on for usage, off for a while, back on to email and SMS ect...
Ah ok, then there's no discrepancy .
I got 10 hours from full to complete off. I was using it to watch streaming movies on 3g
for a couple of hours and then watch a movie off of the sd card and an episode of supernatural.
After that its just web and ebook reading. Its pretty good. Almost the same as my ipad.
I got a total of around 14 hrs plus with wifi and edge on, screen brightness at 20%, around 7 hrs of standby while i was asleep at night, with 4 hrs of heavy surfing, youtube etc. . . No calls though, only some sms and always on IM with nimbuzz logged in.
What i am seeing is with heavy usage i.e. Multiple apps running, wifi and edge on, i get anywhere between 5-7 hrs of battery life which i think is fair enough for a device this size which am constantly fiddling with.

Can someone please post,
Using the supplied mains charger, how long does it take to fully re-charge a drained Galaxy Tab?
As it is a large battery what sort of charging times to expect?
(This is while NOT using the device).

I've not used mine for that long, but the Battery Left app(which I found to be quite accurate on my N1) shows that for MY usage, I'll get about 25hrs.
I've got the auto dim turned off, and brightness at max. I mainly use mine for checking emails, txting, and a few games.
Nothing heavy.
I'd recomend the Battery Left app to you guys looking to find out your battery life. You DO have to "train" it though, which requires a 100%-0% run for you.
Guys,
does.anyone know, do we need to cycle the battery to give it the best performance?
Example, charge up the unit, then drain it completely and recharge it again? Like in the old days.
mine hasnt gone down much. I have it unplugged at 6am and at 4pm i still have about 75-80% batt left.
This is with about approx. 2 hrs of talk and 30mins of data usage and voice calls paired to my BT headset. My screen brightness is set to 40%

I once got up to 20 hours of moderate usage. But with heavy usage I get about 12 hours or more. I lose about 7% when watching an episode using flash....kinda sucks but I watch a lot of anime online. But I use this as my main phone too. Its replaced my nexus completely. though it was nice with my nexus cuz I could swap batteries. This is how I condition my battery. I let it get to about 2-5% then I recharge it. I don't let it get to zero cuz I heard you can damage the cell. sometimes I charge it to about 20% then I unplug it and drain it to 5% then back up to full. I just kinda switch it up. At first I was getting horrible battery life but ever since I started conditioning it this way I get great results.

With the newly leaked Dk28 there definitely seems some battery life improvement. I am on 13.5 hrs unplugged as of now and still about 20% battery life left.
I charged it before going to bed yesterday night... left if unplugged whole night.. moderate usage today morning.. emails, browsing, phone calls.
4G service on .. everything else off.
I dont think I saw something like this on Eclair... is 13.5 hrs normal or is it really really good??
What are you experiences? Please share.
I'm at 15 hours right now with 62% remaining, but that doesn't seem out of the ordinary for me. I went a little over 30 hours on one battery a couple days ago, which I think is pretty good considering it's a stock Froyo kernel.
I don't know what your settings are, but I can usually get about 40 hrs on one battery cycle. Most of that 40hrs is downtime, but I can manage about 3-4 hours of display time(games, surfing, etc) and about 30 minutes of talk time.
Your numbers look a lot like mine did before I started killing the DRM service.
Edit: Forgot to mention I am on 2.1 though.
That seems pretty normal. I unplug my phone when I leave for work and plug it in when I go to bed and it's usually at about 40% or so by that time.
For what it's worth, I'm not seeing any difference in my battery life since updating to 2.2. This is pretty much the same as I was getting on 2.1.
I will say that prior to DI18, I was getting about 50 hours on a charge. My last charge before DI18, I had gone almost 72 hours before plugging in to do the update. DI18 killed my battery life, and it's been about the same ever since.

I do have Autostarts killing DRM at boot. Not sure that it makes a difference on Froyo though.
I was on di18 from the day i bought my phone and i never got thru the day without plugging in at work.. i plug it in at night..pick it up100% charged while going to work and by about 2-3 with moderate usage it wud be around 25% left and definitely die if i dont charge at work on the way back home.. which is something i m not seeing now.
Are all you guys using this drmservice.. i wud like to kill it too .. not sure what it does tho.. will do a bit of reading..
I usually only have to swap batteries once a day. I leave wifi on nearly all the time. Bluetooth and gps are usually on for about an hour a day. I listen to music with the phone during work and when I go for a walk in the evenings. I play some games and browse the web here and there, too.
Last night, I swapped batteries before bed, and lost 11% in 9 hours, with wifi on. If I'm constantly doing things with my phone (gps navigation, games, etc) then I can kill it in 6 hours or so.
I'm getting round 18 hours with heavy wifi use and tons of browsing

Is this with the regular 1500mAh battery ?
For people getting 13 hrs+, or anyone really, what does your spare parts network usage look like? I'll update this post with mine.
I've been all over the place with battery drainage. (I've calibrated since new kernel). all details equal (same app setup, traveling to the same place, etc), sometimes I drain 15% per hr, sometimes 5%.

I read some of the comments and had to go back to top to see if I was in right thread!!
My 2.1 rooted used 2% an hour, I'm a moderate user, but most usage is data on 3g. I would have 50 plus left at bedtime.
Went to DK28 - idle used 6%, had to charge my late afternoon with any usage. Same setup, actually less programs.
So I rolled back, this was the same as pre Sept 30 upgrade and yes, I was toggling, killing, stopping, everything the same.
Just this morning, I took it off charge, spent about 10 minutes going through facebook and seesmic, check the charge percentage and I was at 93%.
What the HECK are you folks doing to get 18 hours of heavy browsing on WiFi?!
I really don't want a phone that has a tough time making it past lunch with it mostly sitting inactive. Heck, my ancient G1 did much better than this. Just checking now, I unplugged it at 6:30, and I'm at 89% already. Although I will say that from about 6:30 - 7:42 I've gone down 4%, so I suppose that's not too terrible. I'd love to have 2%/hr.
Addl data:
From 7:42 - 9:34 with it just sitting on my desk, it's down to 81%, so it's still losing 4%/hr without being touched.
Xoom and honeycomb truly have the best battery life I have ever seen. I have been using mine for at least 15 hours straight and my batteries are still at 53% left. I've been using this extremely heavily with 3g on for like 10hrs and wifi for the rest of the time....gaming, web browsing, emailing, pulse reading, remote connection, and even some video!
According to my batteries,

Agreed. The battery life on this thing is amazing, way beyond what I expected.
Been playing with it on and off all day at work, now, 13 hours later, I got 71%left. SICK.
I've been really happy with it too. Had it at work yesterday. I brought it to work at 90%. Connected my bluetooth headphones to it, streamed Pandora over wifi through the device to my headphones non-stop for 8 hours. Used it for checking personal mail and a little bit of browsing so the display was probably on for an hour of that time. Got home and the battery was at 65%. Excellent!
I feel like mine doesn't get nearly the battery life that you guys are talking about...using it constantly with the screen brightness turned all the way down it seems to be getting roughly 10 hours of continuous use on wifi.
Are you all rooted? I don't think that would matter but it seems as though im a little dissapointed in the battery life where everyone else is stunned. I had the screen off last night at around 50 % and this morning at around 11 it was at 11%.
Should I be worried?
there should be multiple threads on this!
THE BATTERY LIFE IS INCREDIBLE!
14hrs and with that included
5hrs display on (over 75% brightness if not full)
1hr20minutes on google talk video!!!!!!!
(5minutes of wich i tethered my nexus s and used my 3g rather than wifi..which by the way was both just amazing) seriously, i kept switching back and forth with the camera to mess around with my sister...simply amazing.
2hours browsing
45minutes movie
28% battery remaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**** MY MOM!!!!

Dude, that sounds about right. If you are saying you used it for 10 hours continuously with the display on (which is easily the biggest drain) then you did well!

Hate to be an ass, but having the display on for 4 hours only, clearly shows you haven't been using it for 15 hours straight.

lol. This made my giggle.
Anyway, maybe he was refering to having apps running (ie, pandora, browser, etc) with the display off for the rest of the time. Granted, the display pulls the most battery usage, but the device can still be in "use" with the display off.

Valid point.
What's the best way/time to charge?
How and when do you guys/gals usually charge your Xoom?
Plug it in every night to charge overnight
When it's almost dead (<10%)
Plug it in whenever possible
Other
Just wondering if any of these "techniques" will affect battery life in the long run!
overnight to charge usually. i havent been able to kill the batteries during normal usage.
Had mine off the charger for over 48 hours. Just put it on the charger this morning with battery at 10%

I'm blown away by the battery life on my Xoom. I left my charger at home on my last trip and went 3 days without charging, with moderate use I still had 20% when I got back home.
I personally charge every night, but I really don't have to. I use it at work, check emails, take notes during meetings, etc. Screen is prob on 4-5 hours a day. When I get home, more browsing, maybe some music. When I finally get to bed, I usually have >50% battery.
The batter is so good, I basically solved my one big gripe, which is power button. During a meeting when I know I'll take notes intermittently, I simply set the screen to never go off. It does kill the battery, but I have still never had a problem getting through a day.
The 2nd day I had the Xoom I stress tested the battery, used it almost the entire day, barely put it down. Got through 10hrs with 20% battery left, browsing on WiFi, some gaming, etc. Last night, I went to the American Airline Center to see the Stars, about 3 and 4 hours of hockey(went overtime then shootout) and only used about 20% battery in that place, which is usually a horrid battery sucker on 3G on my Droid.
Hi Guys,
How is your battery performance going? We have three 64GB 3G Lenovo tablets in our office and we are struggling to get two hours usage out of any tablet. Even just leaving them in standby mode will drain them fast (less than a day). I have the acer iconia A500 and can leave that around for days and still have some juice when I pick it up again. Any idea why battery life is terrible on the Lenovo? We are all running different apps. Mine is pretty much just running stock with a few ebook reader apps.
Cheers,
SB
Something is wrong with them if the battery life is that poor. Presumably with the hardware if you're running things mostly stock. Strange, though, that it'd be all of them and not just one. Mine gets 8 solid hours of medium to heavy use, no sweat, and other people have indicated theirs get about the same. You might want to contact Lenovo's tech support (though just a word of warning, they have kinda lame tech support nowadays...).
I've got a 32GB no 3G tablet that continues to surprise me with it's battery life. I'd read plenty about folks with crappy recharge and usage times.
Mine will still have the same charge the next day if I don't put it in the dock and I generally get 7-8 hours out of a full charge, even over the period of a few days.
The old 'cell-standby' battery drain disappeared a while back. Don't know why. Don't miss it at all.
Under normal use for me (sketchbook pro, browsing, and an occasional game) I get about 8-12 hours of use (basing that on the screen on %), with 3-4 days between charges. Something is certainly up with yours, what is listed under settings>about tablet>Battery Use?
Info
Tablet 1:
Battery 69%, 7 hours on battery, maybe 20 minutes use. (Mobile broadband turned off)
Screen 39% (on auto brightness)
WiFi 26%
tablet Idle: 23%
Cell Standby 7%
Android OS 7%
The other two are not available, but as a colleague ran out the door, he mentioned that his cell standby was 33% despite mobile broadband being turned off.
Thanks for your feedback so far.
Mine (16GB version) lasts for 4 hours when it's REALLY busy, that means when I stream videos over wireless.
Otherwise...after a full day of normal usage I'm back from 100% to 40%.
Anything else I think is not acceptable..I suggest you guys have your tablets replaced.
Wait, I just had a thought. Are you guys using the keyboard folio with the tablets? If so, there's something you should know. After putting the tablet to sleep, you can't close the folio for another 10-20 seconds afterwards. Otherwise, the optical trackpoint ends up detecting motion from the tablet being on top of it and it wakes the tablet up repeatedly while the thing is sitting closed. So you have to put the tablet in sleep with the folio still open, let it sit until it goes into deep sleep, wave your finger over the trackpoint to make sure it has (after 10-20 seconds), THEN close it up.
my battery is good on standby (with wifi sleep).
Your battery drain is because of cell network. use airplane mode !
I RMA's 2 of them with the same symptoms, took all day to charge, discharged way to fast they ended up having both bad motherboards and bad batteries. I called up lenovo sent them in and had to wait about 3 weeks for the parts to come in, but they have been working incredibly well now.

That sounds very similar to the three we have. 6-8 hours to charge. Less than an hour of use to discharge. Less than 10 hours on standby to discharge. Lenovo suggested a factory reset (ha ha) to fix the problem. I'll humour them for the weekend.
Hey guys im just wondering if my battery is funky... i just got this g2 yesterday and am running off a full charge since 6:43 AM its 9:51 AM now and its at 91% i really havnt used it to terribly much since im in school but it seems that since it dropped from 100-99% at 8:34 AM it seems to be draining quite fast now even when its sleeping... i havnt messed with the settings to much so is there something bloatware or software wise thats making it run out fast or by the times given am i just tripping and my battery life is fine, i just feel like the 3000mAH should be doing alittle better than this..
THANKS in advance!
I can tell you with my Verizon G2 I get awesome battery life other day I was at 16 hours 8am-12am with 2hrs screen on time 35 mins playing games and 2hs 25min of streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. I was at 52% after all that. Don't know if that helps but that is what it is for me. Since got phone it has never dipped below 50% in up to a 18hr day for me.

are you a heavy user?
Tmobile variant
I have the Tmobile G2. I'm a bit concerned about my LG G2 battery. Can others suggest a test that we can both follow so that I can compare my battery life to yours. The phone seems to be alright when idling for 8 hours as I slept it only lost 3%. When it comes to charging it went from 0% to 52% in about an hour, and was at 90% on its way to the 2 hour mark. But when using it just to browse and stuff it seems like its dying a bit fast.
So let me know things like screen brightness, apps to run and what not so we can compare how long our batteries last. That way I can return it before my 14 days are up. Thanks for your help in advance.

i constantly close all my apps and keep my brightness high enough to see but as low as i can to see... right now my batter usage is at 4hrs and 3 mins and im at 85% currently its saying i should still have 22hrs and 47mins but that seems impossible xD
"I have a theory"
So im going to wing this out for the rest of today and let it run down without charging it agian... if it lasts me all day ill post because im having a theory that the way the battery percentages on this phone are different cause of the new technology in the battery cause it seems that certain percantages last FOREVER then others go through rather quickly i think im just used to how my old phones percentages escilated ill repost when it dies or when i go to sleep
I would say I am medium to heavy user I stream music via Bluetooth everyday talk for 30 plus minutes on Bluetooth a day and play music in car hour a day and play games hour plus a day and I leave brightness on auto never on Wi-Fi lte only and I close all apps.
I charged my phone to about 94% went to bed with it at 89%. Woke up with at 86%, 8 hours later. My brightness varied through out the day from 23-60%, currently at 40%. Mainly did browsing and fb for a bit today. For about an hour while browsing the phone was on airplane mode with Wifi on. As of now at 54%, battery usage 16h 2mins, expected time to use +18h 54mins, last 3 hours in use, used 9%.
My battery use details:
Android System 25%
Screen 22%
Android OS 14%
Chrome 8%
Cell standby & idle 6%
I run near max manual brightness, a live wallpaper, GPS, WiFi on all the time, automatically checking email every 10 minutes, lots of phone calls and texts, and I still have 79%. Off charger since before 7a.m. Software says I have 36 hours left. Best battery life I have ever had on any phone, any Rom.

That's crazy my phone has been on for 19h 29mins without all that auto sync and other stuff you have running and I'm at 35% with an expected
6h 29mins left. You think something is up with my phone ?

Well, that's still not too bad. Are you a gamer? How's your signal most of the time?
Also, I'm on VZW, in case that makes a difference.

Not a gamer, tmobile usually 3-5 Bars 4g lte. I dont get how it just dies so much off of browsing alot but so efficient when sleeping. My phone is at 11% now after alot of browsing and talking on the phone for an hour. As I type this I've been on a phone call and googling info about battery tests for 45 mins.
this is complete BS!

i have a verizon version and compared it to my moms 4s battery running iOS7
heres the deal her battery usage is like 3hrs 7mins mine is 6hrs 23mins mines at 2% hers is at 51% we both unplugged the same time so this means im getting the same battery life as a 4s running iOS 7 plus she keeps her data and everything on i turn mine off when not in use... so did i get a defective battery? cause if my battery is the same as a 4s running iOS7 im not gonna be a happy person i know i should get at least 15-16+hrs of battery use and still have like 20-30% left! UGHH and my phone reboots into the verizon logo alot when i unlock it i think i got a horribly manufactured g2... just my luck what do you guys think?
It feels like i have the original droid razr battery life agian Dx my razr m lasted longer!
Unplugged my phone at 98%, went to bed woke up with it at 95%. Then had the screen on for an hour straight just messaging ppl on fb. Now I'm at 87%, that's not normal right? Screen is on auto brightness nothing else going on.
Can anyone confim that this is normal? i have an LG g2 with 3000mah and i loose 1% of battery every MINUTE while playing games, so 10 minutes of modern combat 4 or plats vs zombies is around 10 %, 60-70% brightness, sound half way or headphones. Some people are speaking about "5h of screen time easily" while i get 2-3h ...
My battery seems fine but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not using the standard "fast charge" method to charge it over night. At night I recommend either a Wireless Qi Charge or a "Slow Charge" from a standard USB port or a smaller charger like one from an iPhone (the little cubes with a USB port).
There is a HUGE difference on battery life throughout the day between a Normal Fast Charge and a USB Slow Charge.
I only use Fast Charge when I'm out and about throughout the day but I haven't needed to do that with the G2. On my Galaxy Nexus I could fast charge it to 80% and it would be dead in 3 hours just idling in my pocket.
