In the interest of branching out of the main thread, I thought I'd start a thread regarding battery life- how many hours are you guys getting? For those who have somewhat decent battery life, what tweaks/settings are you using?
I went and disabled background data syncing hoping this would at least help improve battery life only to find that even idle (with no real use at all), this thing eats battery like there is no tomorrow.
I think with super light usage the most I've gotten is about 4-5 hours. There HAS to be a way to improve on this. I can never walk around without my charger in my bag- that is just crazy.
So any ideas or suggestions would be great! (By the way, I'm running Dexter's latest rom on top of eLocity's official firmware update).
I'm posting 4 hours 54 minute uptime right now with a quick 10 minute game of fruit slice, light to moderate web browsing, and moderate to heavy instant messaging. I have 29% battery left.
I generally set my apps to sync no more frequently than 30 minutes at the least. I turn the screen off when I walk away to do something. Other than that the tablet stays running on my couch side all day.
I have also seen it go for days on standby mode without going dead. I'm happy with the battery life. My Archos isn't much better, and is much less powerful of a device.
I'm also on ElociMod (which is based off the newest firmware... )
cant get more than 4 hours no matter what i do. running dexter's modc
We might be able to help the battery life using some clever tricks with SetCPU. I know it helped on my Pandigital Novel, and 2/3 on that device was used to power the screen, as opposed to ~1/3 for the processor. I'm gonna guess it might be the complete opposite of that on the A7.

I don't think SetCPU works on the A7 or any other Tegra2 at least not yet.

It doesn't... it will FC.
CPU Tuner installs and runs. It shows a min of 260 MHz and a max of 1000 MHz, and it has profiles based on battery charge. I just installed it, so I don't know what to expect.
I wanted to resurrect this thread and post my experience with A7 battery life.
I am running Dexter 1.2, brightness at 35%, WiFi always on, Bluetooth mostly off, screen timeout at 2 minutes. Syncing three mail accounts, weather and Google calendar. Limited or no background syncing of other apps.
My typical day with the device consists of;
a full charge in the morning
3 to 4 hours of standby time
30-45 minutes of web use
another 3 to 4 hours of standby
3 to 4 hours of heavy web, texting, reading, and games
I place the A7 back on the charger at night and it usually has about 20%-25% charge left.
I figure I am getting about 4-5 hours of use and close to 8 hours of standby each day fairly easily.
This battery life is very comparable to my Droid 2 Global.
The ipad battery has more than 4 times the capacity of the A7, but only twice the run time.
I just want to know what I can do to improve my battery on CM7 nightly 32. I'm at 21 hours now and almost dead. Yet I see people get stuff like 2 days and 10 hours... I have tasker and the only profile I have is when the screen goes off it turns mobile data off (not sure If it works so I also use apndroid). I NEVER use wifi, bluetooth, or high brightness. I do however have gps on so in case I lose my phone is lost or stolen I can track it. So there's no way I'm disabling that. I have tried juice defender but figured since it can't effectively disable data for 2.3.3 I saw no point in the app. Any tips?

21 hours on moderate use is great battery life. 12 hours is usually the measuring stick for smartphones, less is bad, greater is good.
Don't know who you saw getting two days plus, but they are either not touching their phone or have an extended battery.

Best way to extend battery life is to get an extended or high capacity battery. I just got the Mugen Power pack, not the chunky one, and im in the process of breaking it in.
On my stock battery i was getting about 17hrs of moderate use. Almost no talk but alot of texting, engadget and youtube mostly on wifi with gps always on. That might give you an idea, plus, there are countless battery related threads on here.
Will post back in afew days after my Mugen has cycled afew times.

I have 4 stock replacement batterys and never plug my phone in to the charger. When my phone is at about 5% i just take one out and pop the next one in and charge them in the wall... I know its not the answer you want but I never have a problem with battery life lol
I would agree that 21 hours is great battery life on this phone. I can get a week of battery life on my phone if I put it in airplane mode and stick it in my desk drawer =P
Not sure how big of an impact the tasker profile has. Unless your screen is off for long periods of time I would think that it might harm the battery life because every time you touch the device, it has to 'search' and connect to the tower again.
You can try running the phone at the stock CPU speed to see if that has an improvement on your battery life. I currently run the same 1017/245 as you with a screen off profile set at 245/245.
For me, as long as I can make it through a day's use, the battery life is fine. With moderate use I can go about 15-18 hours and heavy use I'm at around 12. The car charger in those cases is a life saver.
Bottom line is, battery life really depends on your usage habits. Those people getting days out of their phones likely aren't using them very much...
well i have setcpu set at 806 max and 245 min. screen off is at 245/245 and on powersave governor. other then that its on ondemand. i also have profile set to reduce the CPU based on battery. I have it set to <101% its at 806/245 , <41% its at 768/245 and less then 25 is 368/245. i realize that these are low speed but i hardly ever get lag and i use it for everything, music, video, youtube, internet, twitter, facebook, xda , and a here and there gmail. i guess if im getting exceptional battery life... anyone want some tips?
I find the more variation I put into profiles on setcpu, the worse my battery life gets. Theory - it is constantly watching and making changes based on your CPU needs and battery. So I have mine set to 1113-1113 performance, 245-245 powersave screen off, 245-245 powersave 45degrees+ and for your mobile data, try just having a widget to turn it on and off as you need it. You probably don't need it on everytime you turn on your screen do you?

The apndroid widget eventually gets out of sync with on/off with the data... I think its gingerbread. Most apps can't effectively turn the radio off. I hope they make one soon!

I find the stock battery to be not that great. I bought the Chichi batteries way back in October (when they were still considered cheap) and theyve been great. I havent really done any new tests since October, but back then (before I had a data plan) I was getting atleast a day and more (from 100% to dead) with moderate usage.
I'd look for a high capacity battery, though they seem to be expensive now.

Ill post a battery success story...sounds nerdy lol. And i live at my own home with my own family lol.
My mothers g2 is rooted and running cm7 nightly 29 or 30, I installed it last week. I asked her today for the first time how the battery was after a week. She is using an aftermarket 1800mah battery, wifi only at home, she was almost at 32 hours and had 39% battery left!!!!
Not sure of all settings but i put it on 1113mhz, on demand with min 368, autobacklight, wifi only at home, bluetooth is always connected and on. Talk is about 70% of her usage overall. 4 gmail accounts. I did not install set cpu at all. I even stopped it on my phone because it didnt help me one bit.
Not too shabby. I was at 57% with some texting but a lot of gps usage for latitude and wifi always on even when not at home.

here is what i get out of a day (battery consumption for specific tasks are mentioned in percentages measured using juiceplotter)
wifi on constantly
display set to 24% brightness
background sync enabled (google, weather 6hrs, whatsapp and facebook once a day)
45 min video (rockplayer no h/w decoding) 15%
1 hr browsing+chat 15%
30 min calls 6%
20 min music+chat 5%
20 min general usage 5%
1 hr flash streaming 15%
24 hrs standby 24% (@ 1% for every hr of standby)
15% battery remaining after 24 hrs i.e. low battery warning.
i disabled the use wireless network option under locations and always on mobile data
and get much better battery life, also i use wifi constantly when available (which is 90% of the time), it is much better for battery life than using 3g or gprs/edge.
pretty amazing battery life IMO i am very happy.
So i have cycled my Mugen 1800mA battery acouple times. on average, i'm able to get about 27hrs of heavy use. Here are some settings as a baseline:
Always on Data
Wifi always on
Auto brightness
1GHz clock speed
massive amounts of text use
massive amounts of screen on time
will report back in afew days time after some more cycles.
hey there
basically, last night i:
1)wiped battery stats
2)discharged till phone shuts off
3)turned phone on again so it turns off again
4)went to sleep with it charging
5)woke up 9 hours later, on 100%
so if its fully charged, battery ETA is only giving it 7 hours and 44 minutes estimated time, WITHOUT WIFI, GPS OR MOBILE DATA, AND 25% BRIGHTNESS USING 'BRIGHTNESS PROFILES' APP. isnt this like.... rubbish? this is my setup

oh okay thanks, where could i buy a decent battery, adding no bulk but not too expensive?
I'm wondering the same thing... the Desire Z only comes with a 1300mAh battery... My previous phone had a more powerfull battery (2100mAh) and that was an older model WM6 smartphone (which was rubbish on power savings) and it would outlast the desire Z... Even after two years of extensive use, the old phone's battery is better then this phones brand new battery
I've been unable to find any official HTC batteries for the Desire Z which pack more juice...
At the OP. What is your signal strength like? Mine is rubbish at work as I work in a converted barn and that makes a big difference to the battery life.

I am in the process of 'breaking in' a new 1800 MuganPower battery. Fits perfectly with no mods needed.
It should take a few more charges etc to settle down, so things should theoretically improve.
I pulled the plug off charge 6.5 hours ago.
I have it set to use wifi when at home, and 3g for the phone connection (I have a 3G femtocell at home).
When I leave my home area, it switches off 3g and wifi and drops to 2g.
I have made a couple of 2 minute calls, checked my emails and twitter, and was out of the house for say 1.5 hours earlier.
I have had a couple of texts to which i replied.
I am on 95% charge now, and pretty pleased with that.
I've got the same mugen battery, and get through a full day easily no matter what I do. Screen full bright, wifi always on, some internet, games, gps.... etc. Only 7 hours of battery to me sounds terrible.
since my last post, i havent touched the phone at all, and its got 66% charge -__- i seriously need a better battery, may buy the mugen, would you say they are worth it?

What percentage per section(standby, display) is being used?
Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
mobile standby 33%
wifi 28%
phone idle 28%
display 5%
im surprised its been 10h 15m and im still on 58%
the battery seems okay when not touching the phone, as i have only checked facebook for 2 minutes, and sent around 10 texts (been playing football)
looks like imma turn off wifi when not using it from now!
When I first got my Desire Z when it first came out I was pretty disappointed in the battery life. I tried programs like juice defender and minimized every possible battery sucking option I could find. I could maybe get 12 hours of use out of it so I bought a 1800mAh MuganPower battery which gave me maybe 15 hours instead. Pretty poor I thought but what more could I do?
A couple of months ago I finally did a factory reset after encountering a lot of frustrating little bugs, some of which had been around since the phone was new. Since then not only has my phone worked a lot better and faster, but battery life is MUCH improved. My phone now consistently lasts 24 - 30 hours with the same usage or more than I was using it before. So obviously buggy software can make a huge impact on battery life and it's not something you are going to be able to easily discern as to what program(s) are causing the problem.
Hmmm im not sure then..

Okay, played a bit of speedx 3D, heavy texting and facebook/gochat, still on 31%. Battery seems ok, still going to invest in a better one though, as using the phone for games or internet heavily drains the battery, whereas standby seems to be quite good, but need to turn off wifi. I will see how it fairs tomorrow, and post a picture.

28% for wifi seems really high. I always have wifi on and it only takes up 6%.
Hey guys I think this will be a great thread for people to post their battery usage results to let future adopters of windows phone 8 see what sort of battery life our devices are getting
I would like to know also... Can people post some real world experiences about the batterylife of their WP8 devices...
A fact also is that it will get better with updates as it is so new OS.

Awesome. How heavy was your usage? Did you use 3g, wifi and all of that or did you barely use the phone?
I have been studying battery use closely for my first 5 days with the 8X. There is definitely an idle drain issue. Compared to a One S (same basic hardware, smaller battery) the idle drain is at least 3 times higher, if not 5 times higher. In 7 hours overnight, my 8X loses around 15% of battery. This is with one email account set to sync every 15 mins and one set to sync every hour. Obviously there is no screen time or anything else to worry about and the signal where I live shows as 3-4 bars (out of five).
Having said this, the in-use battery life seems decent. Certainly the screen is a real hog, but a normal working day (about 10 hours of mixed usage) for me so far drains about 40-45% battery. This is worse than other devices, but not too bad for me and it will improve - I find it takes around 1-2 weeks for battery life to settle.
By way of comparison, I used to have a Lumia 900 which would use around 35% in a working day for me and I have a RAZR i Android phone which uses around 25% (yes, 25%).
My guess is that there are a couple of things going on here. Firstly, there is a large idle drain issue. This should be easily fixed in software. Secondly, I suspect the baseband is not too efficient so a weaker network signal really causes a heavy drain, again this is probably fixable in software. I suspect that WP8 is not as efficient as WP7.5 in general, again, easily fixed in software. Basically, we need a software update or two.
My HTC 8X eats up battery really fast.
With light usage im down to 5% after about a day.
With heavy usage, 1hr browsing and about 50 texts i go from 100% to 10% in about 6-7 hours.
About the same as my 2yr old Omnia 7
I'm glad these issues are being brought to light as very little is being mentioned about battery life at the moment. As the Jones has said it can be fixed with software updates. 1800mah and a 4.3 slcd2 hd display should be a decent enough combination to get a good day of usage with minimal drain. The One X has exactly the same size battery and the screen is half an inch bigger. The One X has a fairly decent battery life so there is no way that the drain is down to hardware. Funnily enough my current phone is the One S and my battery life is fantastic. When I'm not using my phone the drain is virtually non existent. I hope they fix this battery drain issue and I hope it's soon. The lumia 920 has the same issue so it's definitely WP8 and not the phones. When more people get windows phone 8 devices by the end of the month I think the issue will come to light. So you guys with the 8X would you recommend it? I'm considering selling it and my one s so I can buy an HTC One X+ I'm not sure though. I haven't recieved my 8X yet but If the battery drain is that bad and the phone isn't great than I'm probably better off selling it before I even open it so I get the maximum amount of money. I really hope it's a good phone so your opinions will be really important to me.
The battery life on the Nokia 920 is awesome with a capital A. There seems to be no idle drain to speak of. Best battery of any phone I've had and I've had the galaxy s2, the note 1 and note 2. Very happy with it. Got 19 hours the first full charge with moderate to heavy usage.

That's very interesting actually. There are mixed reports on the Lumia 920 as well as the 8X on battery life. You're the first person I've seen that's said the battery is fantastic for any of the wp8 phones. I'm so confused wether it's worth me even opening my 8X when I get it or selling it straight away. Guess I'll have to wait and see if they bring an update to fix the battery drain.
I have had the 820 for a single day, after full charge I used about 55% in 10 hours. Half hour gaming, hour or so of music and 2 push email accounts. Pretty heavy Facebook and twitter.

Battery life so far seems about average, I get between 16-24 hours per day with moderate usage. Just depends on whether I'm using wifi or LTE. Lumia 920
This is a hard one to answer, Out of the box the phones eats power like a monster. I had to charge 2 times in the day then again over night on my first day. So I decided this was not going to do and turned off a few things and put the screen to auto. Now I get a good days use. The facebook app is a real drain unless you turn off notifications. That said this is then in a way crippling the phone. I guess they just turn it up to the max to look good when you first open the box etc. Also note you get nothing like the storage ie I have lost almost 6gb before putting anything on my device. Might watch the battery issues and if they are still bad see if I can trade in for a lumia 920.
I have a Lumia 920. Saturday and Sunday, it did great on battery life. Yesterday and today at work, it's been about like my 2-year old Focus - eats up the battery if I'm at my desk. Signal is very weak inside the building here and it's cutting in/out and frequently searching, so I attribute it to that. (I was hoping LTE would penetrate better into my office, but it doesn't seem to so far). The phone does seem to do well so far on battery life when I'm in an area where it just has a good strong signal and isn't searching all the time though.
First day after a full charge and I'm down to 33% after about 7 hours. I'd say moderate to maybe heavy use. I wish there was a battery usage section like android has.

This is a hard discussion to get any useful comparison information between devices, I don't know what one person may call "light", "moderate" or "heavy" use means and how that compares to how I would use those words. Hopefully one of the bloggers will do a controlled study between the different WP8 devices. As for me, I'm using the HTC 8X. It's now 1:40 p.m., my phone came off the overnight charge at about 6:30 a.m., I'm at 73% battery life. I had 1 incoming call I don't know if I even picked it up or how long it lasted (does WP8 give me length of call data anywhere?), a bunch of texting, read a fair number of Outlook emails, looked at FB, looked at weather, running Wi-Fi and bluetooth, and updated some apps.
How would you rate that battery?
i got my lumia 920 yesterday, and the battery life is okay. my Samsung galaxy S 2 with 2100 mAh battery has a better performance but its still k.
With normal usage i run about 8 houers.

My battery stats
Hey there!
I bought this phone on Monday and I started using it yesterday. Here is a screenshot of my actual battery.
I've used 3G and Wi-Fi, downloaded some apps and used GPS a bit. Now I'm using only 2G connections and the brightness is set to low.
Very happy with it!
Just a request
When you all post battery Screenshots please mention the on screen time all of you get and if possible mention the brightness also
Addition
Mention screen on time...
Mention rom (when available lol)
If possible mention ur personal setup like u greenify apps or not...
First charge.
5h screen on, autobrightness, 1 1/2h gps and some other game testing so pretty much like the old G
Seems very solid, 5h SOT. I might be joining your community soon
On average usage it will last for one day
The battery life is better than what I expected. It has dual sim and a large screen but still manages around a day on battery.
Managed to get slightly over 7 hours before the phone shut off.
GPS: Power saving mode
Screen: Brightness set to indoor conditions (manual / below 10%)
ROM: Default
Battery Saver: Disabled
Battery saving apps: None installed
WiFi and Sync: Always enabled
Screen Time Out: 2 minutes after inactivity
Usage: Mainly Facebook, Chrome, WhatsApp, few YouTube vids and Google Docs. Nothing intensive.
Phone charged from 0-100% in under 2 hours without entering the OS. I used Anker Power IQ 40W 5-port desktop charger and Moto's USB cable. Back of the phone remained cool throughout. Could have squeezed more life out of the battery by setting screen time-out to 30 seconds, but I'm happy with 7 hours. Used to get between 3.30 to 4 hours on my NEXUS 4.
Moto G has one of the most (if not the most) efficient SoC (especially the CPU core). So the biggest improvement to battery life comes from adjusting the screen manually. Don't use auto brightness if possible and keep the brightness low without sacrificing image quality. Mine is set to below 10%.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask :good:

Downloading applications, syncing accounts, installed GTA:SA and played a tiny bit(used a controller through OTG) snapped pics, took some slo no videos and auto brightness. Texting, IM'ing, some YouTube videos, etc and also music, which sounds amazing through the speakers!
Not bad at all
Battery is not bad. I was using Wi-Fi n downloaded applications. Still I got it for 20 hrs n had around 15% left.

WOW, that's really impressive. Yes, auto brightness can drain the battery soon. I use auto brightness whenever I'm outdoors for a couple of hours and I get 5+ hrs of usage. Very happy with the battery life.

Yeah I was kinda amazed. Wasn't expecting 7 hours. Expect the battery to increase even further when Android L is released
Five hours screen time
Pretty good for Android phone
My new Moto G has been amazingly good with respective to Battery backup. :good: When phone is idle... it is alove for almost 1 and a half day... Amazing.. I also had Lumia 520.. It could last for 2 days and still have juice left.. Very impressed..
I find the battery life to be average, I get about 3.5 to 4 hours of screen on time. Which is what most phones get, but the original G could go for 5hours. And by about 7pm, my battery run out.
You could get 5hours screen on time if you stay indoor and connected to WiFi all the time and on 50% screen brightness, but this is not for someone who is moving about, being outdoor and not connected to WiFi during work.
Battery is pathetic...The phone was in deep sleep for 8 hours. Battery consumed while in deep sleep, was 1% per hour
What's wrong? Feels like eclair days...
