On average, how long does the battery last for the SGT? .... with continuous video watching?
Engadget did continuous Video at 65% brightness with WiFi on and 3G off and got 6 and 9 minutes
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-review/
I can stream pandora at work for an entire day (8 hours) with light use otherwise, and still usually have more than 60% battery left . I rarely have to charge it during the day unless I am doing a lot with the screen on, such as games.
been monitoring my charging and usage frequency, and with average use i get about 26 hrs consuming 100% to 20%. My average usage includes 3-4 hrs wifi browsing + 8 hrs 3g browsing + 2 hrs reading + 1 hr gaming + 3-4 hrs music. the rest is idle time.

ROFLMAO!!!
Hi guys, just wondering how long should a single full charge last on our atrix?
I came from ZTE blade, with data off I can easily get 2 days with light to moderate use.
However with my atrix, similar usage it lasts a day, day and a half if I'm lucky.
I think this is down to the atrix wakelock issue, afaik it's a common problem, could someone charity it as well?
Hope to hear from some other atrix users' experience.
On CM7 with Faux kernel running at 1.0GHz with minor UV I can get up to 40 hours dependant on usage. That's with data on all the time and WiFi on maybe 50% of the time. Two or three hours of the day I am listening to music over BT at work.
No videos or gaming. Just regular data usage, calls, texting, music, etc.
a day

Depending on how heavily you use it, I've been getting between 1 and a half to 2 and a half days. Pretty good for an android phone. If I ever took the time to figure out undervolting I wouldn't be surprised if I could make it a full 3 days.
As my long time experience on my Atrix, I saw the various life time in different usage by periods of time that shared at below:
- Using just like a feature phone: 2.5 days
- Wifi continuously for web, facebook...: 6-7 hours (depending on how strong the wifi signal is)
- Using just like a music player continuously with internal store (offline) of songs: 12-18 hours (depending on how loud the speaker/earset sounds)
- Using continuously just like an online navigator with Google Maps on 3G connection on my car driving: 5-7 hours (depending on how strong the 3G signal is)
- Complex using in hundreds of days as my normal usage as both a phone and a PDA device, and this is right the most significant life time of a smartphone as you guys here mentioned is: 12-16 hours.
My usage in such a condition includes:
- Wifi online time spreaded over the working day at many points for email, web,facebook, chatting, including XDA ofcos
- Many incoming/outgoing voice calls, I've never made a count for number of calls a day, but I often am reported by the Calls Log Backup app operates in the background on my phone, its used to show 40-70 calls backed up at 10pm for me every day.
- 3G connection was always on and active at early morning while I was driving and at soft-break time at noon for 2 hours when I had lunch
- Few of music at a chance of quick relax that I often have in a working day.
Yeah, above is my real usage experiences on my AT&T Atrix. What about you guys here? Pls share

Moderate use gets me 36 hours on average. By moderate I mean about 100 texts, a few calls, 1-2 hours browsing, wifi always on, about an hour of music.

i have been getting about 12 hours.. 3 hours on display though.
I just dont understand how is the atrix lasting less than 2 days when my zte blade (much smaller phone, but without the massive atrix battery) can easily last a day and a half...
what my problem with my atrix is standby time i guess, Ive just install CM7 with gapps, no extra apps and it dropped 10 % over night, it just wouldnt go to sleep properly..
I get about 20h with heavy usage, such as alot of games, texting all the time. When not using it much I can get 3 days easy with testing only and like 2 calls. I never use wifi.

Hey guys,
I'm really, really impressed with the battery my S3 kicks out, check out my results and feel free to comment. My brightness is on Auto, Wi-Fi has been on all day but for 9 hours was on Mobile Data, and Bluetooth off and NFC Enabled.
Facebook & Twitter update every hour, so does Flipboard

I roughly get 5 hours of normal usage.
That sounds a bit bad to be honest, I've been on my phone quite a bit today.

I use my phone an awful lot, I'm on it checking Facebook, texting, making calls, tethering etc. It's been off charge 1 hour now and I've been browsing for the past hour (without wifi) and now on 87% which to me doesn't look good.

Mine hardly lasts 6 hours.
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
17 hours doesnt seem that good tbh, specially as the screen has only been on for 3 of those hours.
Here's my battery life with around 3 hours of screen time. This also includes streaming Google Music over 3G for an hour.
As it stands right now with a lot of stuff syncing, my battery has been lastingover a full day with more than 3 hours of screen time.
If I use my phone heavily, I can still pull off a full days (work day) worthof use with a screen time well over 4 and just short of 5 hours some days.
This phone is definitely a win in the battery category.
I'm quite happy with my battery time... Tell me what you think

Really good battery life compared to my s2 with the samsung extended battery.
I wonder though if samsung will be releasing an extended battery for the s3?
you should classified as lucky man
mine is battery eater
i lowered the brightness , shutting down bluetooth and data ...etc
and still eats my battery
lets face it guys
i did'nt buy a high level smartphone like this one to disable most of its magic wonder features and deal it as it was nokia 3210
disappointed
S3 battery life is certainly better than xperia s that i had before

What on earth are you guys doing to your phone? I'm disappointed if my screen on time doesn't reach 4 hours. That's with Bluetooth streaming and auto brightness on and about an hour of calls on average and a bit of heavy gaming.
I just flashed the latest CM9 nightly this morning, my phone was around 85% as you can see in the pictures below.
And I still have around 30% left with 3 hours screen on time.

On CM9 experimental from a few days ago, I got about 6 hours of screen time over ~ 20 hours plus streaming Spotify for about two hours. No screen shots because it is pretty normal for me :/ on wifi.

First touch screen phone I have ever owned that occasioally lasts as long as my Blackberry Bold 9700. Super impressive in my opinion.
Hi,
I'm switching from Note 1 to Nexus 4 which should arrive this week. I wonder what the battery performance is like for an average user, does it last alteast a day (10hrs plus) with moderate usage?
Also, I heard glass back issues, does it really needs to be cared for a lot?
I just switched from the note 1 also to the nexus 4. Have had this phone for almost 2 weeks now. Battery life is a lot better than the note. I'm almost always on WiFi. I'm getting about 13+ hours out of the battery. I flashed the Franco kernel and noticed a slight improvement also. Deff a lot better battery life than the note

Battery life is awesome.
I get about five hours screen on time

Right now I'm using the CM nightlities and franco r71 kernel and my battery is pretty good. It easily lasts a day, right now it has about 50% battery with about 10 hours on and 1hr 40min screen time on. I've uploaded a picture of my battery with one of the older nightlies. But some people have really good battery life and others aren't as good, it just depends if you get a lucky phone.
Battery live has been great for me. Easily over 3:30 on-screen time, sometimes 4:00, and less often I hit 4:30. At the end of the day and I usually still have some juice left. I use FrankenKernel and Trinity Four.

Battery life is subjective.

I can get at least four hours screen on time, sometimes over five, depending on other factors such as signal strength and whether I'm on WiFi or mobile networks.
Just been playing with it for the last hour and this is what it's looking like ... 84‰ battery remaining with one hour eleven minutes of screen time. Connection via mobile networks is usually more taxing though.

Stock I could go ~12hrs with moderate use and ~18hrs with light use.
With franco kernel r72, I get 2days with light usage (1.5hrs screen on, 1.5hrs call time, auto brightness, wifi on, bt on, gps on, location services on, push for gmail/plume) and a day with moderate use (same as previous with 3-4hrs of pandora streaming and 1hr of video.)
I can reach 2 hours of screen time when entirely on HSDPA or nearly 4 hours entirely on Wifi with stock kernel until the battery hits 25% mark.
With franco or harsh kernel I can reach 2 hours 30 minutes on HSDPA and 4 hours on Wifi until the battery hits 25% mark.
I send a lot of Whatsapp messages and browsing, not much phone call though. I don't measure battery life by phone up time because most of the time it's screen on time that matters.
Battery life seems great for me
I had almost 12 hours of life battery with my N4 with 3-4 hours of on screen (auto-brightness) on 4.2.1
after this last update my radio is just unstable.
switching between 3G/2G and goes from 4 bar signal strength to 1 bar or 2 then goes back to 4.
and now i am getting 10 hours of life battery with 2-3 hours.
i am stock rom unrooted.
(i will try to stay unrooted as long as i can )
What happend to the radio. !???
i am now on baseband: 2.0.1700.48
Any key !?
Can't really confirm.
I'm also on stock 4.2.2 and right now I have 19% battery left with a running time of 17h and an on-screen time of 3 1/2h.
So all in all it's quite good.

I actually think the new version give better battery. Check your apps... Some poorly coded app does not work well cross os versions

i am just using whatsapp, Google+, Instagram and some browsing, That is all
Are you always in a good coverage area !?
Yeah the coverage here is quite excellent. I live in Munich.
But I have to say that I'm not using mail sync and deactivated cell broadcasts.
I am also seeing better battery life on .48 and slightly better speeds, are you using a 4.2.2 rom? if not i recommend that you do.
getting much better battery life as well ... sounds like you have a rogue app causing wakelocks
Mine is much better, too!
I have better battery life with 4.2.2 too, everything stock. I didn't go through whole recharge cycle yet, but after few hours of usage there is quite a big difference. So far so good
Sure thing that i am under 4.2.2
Ok i eill try a reset.

My radio is acting funky at times too, mostly at home. In Network Signal Info the cell keeps changing back and forth between two id's and my signal goes from -95 dB to -110 dB, basically 3 bars to 0 bars, constantly. I think I'm on the edge of two cell towers but this never happened on the old radio. This doesn't happen at work, but there I only get egde but full bars.
Thx for making it clear that i am not crazy.
That was driving me crazy.
It seems that it happens when we have bad signals and there is two towers and it keeps switching between them as you said.
So any solution ?

Nothing that I know of except to downgrade to the older radio. I downloaded a new app OpenSignal to map the towers in my area and see what towers are around me. Unfortunately I'm at work and can't try it yet at home. But it would appear I only have one tower near work and its like 3 miles away.
I should note too that my battery went from 98% at home this morning to 74% once I got to work after a 30 minute commute. It has never drained that fast, I'm usually around 88% by the time I get to work.
Ok lets make it clear,
Now i am in a village in the middle of mountains. There is only one tower, and i didn't leave the house so always connected to Wi-Fi.
I got 11hours of battery life with 4 hours screen on. And 2 hours of Viber calls and tone of whatsapp msgs. ( that's fantastic)
but when i am in the city and there is more than a cell tower my cell phone keep switching between those tower and drain significantly my battery. I get 10 hours of life battery with 2-3 hours of on screen without any viber call, and a moderate msg rate.
Which makes it a huge difference with me, and that only happens when i updated to 4.2.2
I might need a third party app that can help me to choose a cell tower ? Or something like that ?

after the update 19 hrs 4% remaining. 5h 28 min. screen on. 45 min of calls. sync on. half the time on wifi and half on 2g data. i think this is decent battery backup.
what do you say?
I too noticed that it jumps from tower to tower periodically. i have 5 towers within 5 km radius of my home and even if there is a better signal from the tower connected it will jump to the other. is it normal?
I'm getting data drops with new update and never had before update. Wake up phone and all bars are grey including Wi-Fi bars. Never head this happen to me not once on 4.2.1. Weird
