Xoom Battery Life

Anyone who owe an iPad prior to the Xoom can comment on the battery life? On the iPad, I can go on a week or two just on general browsing w/o having to charge. Just the tap to the top power and the screen turns off, not shutdown.
On the Xoom, how long does it last on general use? I know the spec said up to 9hrs, but I am more concern on general usage w/o having to do a full shutdown.
(assuming I get WIFI version, so with 3G turned off for those with 3G now)

Lots of posts about this. Engadget did a comparison of the original ipad and xoom did 8.22 hours and ipad had 9.26 or something like that, on continuous playback. I use mine nightly and charge it every few days, same as my ipad. Can't compare to the ipad 2 sice I won't be purchasing another iOS device.

I only had an iPad for a few weeks, but I'd say the battery life is comparable. Over the long run that one hour doesn't mean much. I charge it over night every other day or so, and I use it pretty heavily.

Thanks. I read that post and many others. I am less concern of continuous usage and more interested in occasional usage.
Charge once every 5 or 6 days should be okay. I was afraid it might be once a day or two like the android phone. Which kind of stink.
The iPad I have now, I charged it last Saturday, been using it about an hour or less a day just on typical browsing. I am at 50-60% battery life still. To me that is good. I don't have to do a shutdown and wait for it to boot each time. Just turn off screen with the tap of the power button.

I think the xoom/android will use more battery in this type of scenario for most users.
Depending on your Widgets and background syncing options . It should suffice though I am assuming.

I'm easily getting over 7 hours of video watching. I'm playing with different video codecs and bit rates to gain better quality and battery life.
Very time consuming, LOL.

I use it too much to let it sit but it just lasted 5 days with daily use around 5 hours. The unolugged fully charged Tuesday and only did small charged and it does with heavy use Saturday morning. Personally why get a device that you only are using for 5-7 hours a week?

It's because of the xooms warp drive... its not syncing with the flux capacitor. Don't worry they'll fix it with an update soon.

Ive had my xoom for a week now and I use it ALOT!!! playing games at lunch, email and note taking in meetings all day. Ive changed the thing 2x and both time it was still above 50% battery life. Moto did something right with this thing. LOVE IT.

5 - 7 hours is average. If I need to do stuff, I have HP Envy Laptop w/ SSD that boots fairly quick to do things. I want to use the tablet for quick things, like check email, browse the internet, read magazine, etc., Something that is instant on, do a few quick stuff for 15 - 30 minutes and be done.

I use it to study pdfs all day for my upcoming CCIE, and I can use it from 8am till I go to sleep at night without the turning the screen off all day. Well, except for lunch.

New to the tab from the xoom, question about battery.

I just picked up the tab today and i am liking it so much more than the xoom. Much much more. But the one thing I am concerned about is that the battery charging time is unbelievably slow.
The one thing I could say in the xooms favor was that the battery charging speed was supernatural. It literally took less than 40 minutes to charge the whole thing which would last 9 to 10 hours on normal use. That was the one thing about the xoom that was positively good.
So far I have had the tab charging for hours and it's still not full. I plugged it in at 8:14 with the battery at 8%, now its 11:44 and its still only at 74%. That's more than 3 hours and its not full. I think I remember reading that the battery is bigger and last up to 15 hours. If all that's true I can understand longer charge time but 4 hours is alot. Is this normal?
And how long does the battery really last? Does it really get 15 hours? That would be nice.

The battery is 7000 mAh, it takes me an average of 5 - 6 hours to charge depending how low I let the battery go.
Battery life on the tablet is great, sometimes I can go for 3 - 4 days on a single charge, sometimes a single day, it really depends how much I've used the tablet.

I also had the xoom for close to 3 months, and the xoom's battery not only charges considerably faster but I also feel that it last longer also than the 10.1, just something you will get use to.

Damn, I am really loving this tablet. Its SO much better than Motorola's crap. But I don't know if I can adjust to this battery. I can't leave it plugged in all day cause that defeats the purpose of having a light weight portable device. I guess ill have to see how it holds up after a full day of usage.

You all with battery charge time issues, why don't you guys put it in charge while you go to sleep, that way you'll have a fully charged tablet throughout the day. Until you guys are not sleeping in the night time or anytime in a 24 hours day.

This is exactly what I do. When I'm asleep I have it charging so when I wake I have a full battery.

i guess i dont use mine enough, i charge mine like every 3 days overnight... the battery is amazing...
actually i know i barely use it, im at work all day and only play with it at nights...

I charge it every 3-4 days, and I leave it overnight. I have no issues with the charging. The battery life is actually quite awesome.

My only complaint is idle-time battery life. If I leave it turned-on, but asleep, I find battery will discharge in ~2 days. That's not what I expected from the device while it basically sleeping!
Maybe poor app management on my part, I dunno.

Has to be something. Mine loses maybe 2% in the 9 or so hours I'm working. I have the wifi set to off when the tablet is locked.

Yeah I think it lasts longer also, but that part doesn't bother me so much. Its the charge time which kills me! 40 mins vs. 5+ hours is crazy. I am having a hard time adjusting ...
I do proof reading on the tab so I use it alot and when its plugged in it is very ergonomically unfriendly due to being tied down to a very short yet intrusive cable. Anyway, just a compromise I wasn't aware of.

The Samsung definitely doesn't rapid charge like the xoom, but it lasts all day and I greatly prefer usb charging options. At least I can use the Sammy charger for other stuff.

Well I'm glad I didn't get rid of my Xoom and get the 10.1 like I was planning on.I will wait on October when Asus brings out their new tablet with Kal-el processor.

10 feet cords on ebay for $3-4. Solves that issue. It sounds like you are complaining about the tab being plugged in to charge, and which is a silly thing to complain about. You say you are proofreading? You need to be on the move while doing so? Remember to charge your tab at night and you won't have issues. Don't bash our tab because you forgot to charge.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the XDA Premium App

Agreed. USB extender cables work fine. In fact, splitters work too

I don't mean to start an argument with you but some of your reasoning is a bit skewed. First of all to say "our tab" (as if it's some fanboy fraternity is just silly) includes me as well because I also own one that I purchased with my own money. Secondly, I am not bashing it. I was originally asking a question to see if mine was performing normally then I stated how this is an inconveniance for me. Thirdly, customers are fully entitled to review their purchases and express their feelings and experience. This is how products IMPROVE. If every company could depend on foolish non-critical fanboy psychology to sell products, people like you would be paying twice as much for a product half as good.
To take issue with the way I use my tablet because I find a 5+ hour charging time an inconvenience on a mobile device is stupid. If you must know, I am proofreading in my spare time and help take care of my sick mother. I have to potentially be up at all hours and change my location frequently. And yes, to have to plug in a short and obtrusive cable for hours on end everywhere I go is an inconvenience. Neither did I criticize Samsung or your (or should I say "our" ) beloved tablet. I just stated the awkwardness and undesirability of the charge time.
If you need all other people to be unconditionally fanatic about some product so that you yourself can appreciate it, I think it has less to do with the actual product than some sociological mental issue.
Anyway I started writing with the intention of just mentioning the importance and value of being "objective" and I wanted to avoid coming across as a ****. I know... I know...

Obviously not a software issue then since both the xoom and the sgt are vanilla honeycomb.

The battery lasts on average 7-8 hours of use.

Nexus 4 Battery Life

Hey Guys,
A bunch of people are complaining about the battery life on Nexus 4. I've been waited for a couple days since I got the device, to have enough confident about the battery before I make any post here. Yes, the phone battery drain pretty fast on the first few cycles. After a bunch more charges later, let me tell this, the battery life did get significantly better. It lasted about 10-15 hr depends on the load of the usage.
Here is my typical day, off the charge at 100% in the morning, listen to a few songs, checking emails, and messages while getting ready for school. About an 30mn to 1hr of internet browser and youtube videos while on the bus. By 1-2pm the battery drop the about 70-80%. I put the phone in silent mood til i'm done with all my classes. On the way back home on the bus, I listened to a bunch of music, web browsing, maybe a few phone calls, texts or games.
Compare to my old phone, Samsung Galaxy S2 T989, im impressed with the Nexus 4 battery life. My Galaxy S2 battery always die on the bus coming back home. What I'm trying to get at: if you're a light to medium user like me, then get this phone. I was hesitate at first because I always have bad experience with android battery life. But Google seem to get its OS right with this nexus device, mainly because the battery drain minimum while in sleeping mood.
Can you post your Nexus 4 battery performance screenshot if you have been using the phone for more than a few days ?

Is there supposed to be a question being asked? Or a statement as this is in the Q&A forum.
I agree with you on many points. People need to wait at least 5 to 7 days for the battery charge to fully kick in. The first days mean absolutely nothing as it is still being aligned plus the user is still installing apps and setting up their phone.
There are some notable problems in the default kernel that uses more battery Usage than normal too.

Depends on how much screen time you got, which you didn't show us.

The trick is to be careful about using mobile data when signal is bad, I switch to WiFi when home to avoid unnecessary battery drain.

What is this obsession for battery life, it lasts me well through the day with moderate/heavy use. I charge it at night (if needed) and unless you are homeleless this shouldn`t be a problem. It`s a great phone and i enjoy using it.

I thought the same until my N4 actually arrived, it seems battery life is abysmal compared to my Optimus 2x which didnt have anything really spectacular in regards to battery size. On my O2x I could get 1.5 - 2.5 days depending on use, hitting atleast 1 .5 which was good and acceptable for me (I can charge at night anyways) however my N4 doesnt even reach 13 hours on similar usage!.
I am quite a light users of smartphones however I do like to have a power phone when it comes to using it on the basis of smoothness and capabilities if I need to say do work on my phone, I rarely play games though. Main usage is 2 email accounts on poll 1 hour steps, a third account that is an exchange server and polls in 30 minute steps and thats about it with some brief browsing and a handful of texts (been a quite time since I got my N4), this is less usage than my O2x and yet it still performs alot worse!
I was hoping of staying with stock as I was expecting it to finally be good, comparing it to LG stock attempts it is but battery life isnt . I will be trying the combo Vangelis13 mentioned, raspbean and matr1x kernel as that seems like a great mix however Parandroid has been on the table and it seems like alot of being are getting good results so I will try it soon .
If I can get more than a day of usage I would be really happy, if I was playing games or doing really heavy tasks I wouldnt expect it to last but right now it is doing pretty much nothing and dieing far to fast!.

One thing I've noticed since coming to N4 from S2 is that phone calls drain battery much more significantly on the N4. I could make an hour long call on my S2 and it would use no more than a couple of percent battery but the N4 used 15% for an hour long phone call the other night.

If I didn't own a nexus 4 and came to this thread to find out about it's battery life I would expect it to be good.
Point is you guys are misinforming everyone. The battery is mediocre and that's it.
It won't last a full day if you use it constantly and I do need two charges / day many times.
Let me put it this way, you will only get roughly 3 hours of screen time on stock everything. If that is good for you then it's will have good battery life, if not then you will say it's got poor battery life.

you are perfectly right.
I come from an iPhone 4s, which I changed because the battery life wasn´t that great and I thought it was time to try something new.
Got the N4 last friday and played around with it during the weekend.
Monday, tuesday and wednesday this week... none of these days I´ve been able to come back home with the phone still on.
I wake up at 7.30am and I usually am back home at 6pm.
In my opinion, and honestly should be in everyone´s opinion, 10 hours of battery life are unacceptable, whatever the usage is (considering that 7.30 of those 10 hours I was at work)
I have till friday this week to return it, which is a pity because the phone is great

i get 5-6 hours sot..
rom is omnirom 5.1.1 hellscore kernel b73.
100mv undervoltage hellsactive governer.
think 7 would be possible if google services would not take a quarter of the battery.
the screen is not taking that much battery as one would think.
think most issues with battery life come from fake original battery replacements.

To all those with lousy battery times!

I have a year old Note and have been getting progressively lower battery times, I have tried every possible trick and several ROMS. Recently was getting as low as 12hrs. I have had a cheap replacement battery (non Samsung) which was not used often. Recently when I used it I noticed about the same battery life as the original. I purchased a new Samsung battery and now I am getting over 40hrs on one charge with moderate use and sync on with no other changes.
My messge is : change your battery at least every 8-10 months, you will be astonished as I was. One of the great features of the Note is the ease of change of battery, use it!

Yep same for new battery and it's like I have a new phone. Without changing anything my screen on time almost double.

I've been doing that for over a decade now but this time i bight a hyperion aftermarket.
I bought two actually. I keep one in my car. This way I'm guaranteed a full day's worth of heavy usage.
Also got the dock + second battery charger.
I'll never get a mobile without the ability to replace the battery.

Non removable battery is a deal breaker - your phone will be useless after 12-24 months depending on the charge cycle.

i don't have the time to order a new battery online or look for it in stores so simply i swap out the kernel for the rom i'm using and with the current one i get about 20hrs which isn't much compared to when i got it a couple months ago and worse yet if you have on hsdpa+ whole day battery life drops to about 2/3

After one year (for me ten months) the note 1 needs a new battery. Decreasing bat life, random restarts, and screen flickering are all indicators. I thought i had runaway process issue or hardware problem. But i finally ordered an ankor battery from Amazon and my unit is fine andback to 20hrs.
I thought this was settled back in Nov.
Now just waiting for my jb!

Do not buy a spare the time time as the phone if you are not going to use it until the original goes as it will deteriorate from the day it's made, even with out use.
From box 13......

I don't know if this is still necessary nowadays, but I always use the battery till it's about to turn off the phone. My batteries always have a pretty good lifetime, so I imagine that helps.

This is a common misconception that if you leave the battery to almost deplete every time it will be better for it in he long run. I have done a lot of research on this topic for laptops and smartphones. Essentially they use the same type of battery technology which does not suffer from memory effect, but if you stress the battery a lot (letting it deplete before you charge it again or almost deplete below 5%) than it will damage it more quickly.
The optimal way of charging your battery is:
1) After the first cycles just charge it whenever you want (even it is at 70% and you are at work, you can plug it to get another 10% and then unplug and use)
2) Don't let it deplete, it will stress the battery too much and damage it in the long run
3) Every 30 cycles, you can let it discharge to below 5% and let it recharge until 100%
I have done this on my PC which still has its battery at above 80% after almost 3 years, and to some extent on my Note, but as I can't always foresee how things will play out I sometimes need to use to until the last drop of energy .
Hope this info helps.

10-12 hours with stock rom and stock battery. Now it has dropped to 7-8 hours. With no replacement. I will be getting another battery soon.

That is definitely battery drain. Better post a screen of the battery your apps are using...

With a brand new battery, you cannot achieve much more than 5 hours of screen on time with general usage.
You can indeed get much more than that when watching video, but that is the only scenario where that is possible (or maybe staring at a black picture for hours).
So people saying that they get 10 to 12 hours of screen on time are really getting 10 to 12 hours of uptime, meaning the phone is turned on but is sleeping most of the time, with maybe 2 to 3 hours of screen on time.
That's lousy battery life, and those people should buy a new battery.

Official Battery Life Thread

so maybe I'm blind, but i didn't see a battery life thread yet. post some shots with screen on time and how much time off charger!
right now mine is pretty terrible since it's less than 24 hours since I got it.. but i do hope it gets better, because it seems my g2 had better battery life right off the bat, but I'm sure this thing just has to settle in after a few charge cycles!!

For me, battery life suddenly doesn't matter as much, when it can charge so fast..

I'm in the same boat as OP. Think a few cycles will show how great this battery really is.

Same here. I'm on day 2, so I'm hoping it does improve.

battery life is pretty decent for me. Power using gets me through a day link to my moto 360 via bluetooth and on wifi about 50% of the time.

I've been listening to Poweramp since eight this morning. A little surfing, and I'm at 73%. I expect it might be a bit better once the battery has gone through a couple of charge cycles.

One thing I learned, was download booster is a huge battery hog! If you turn it on, it'll take days to charge to 100%.
I know the note is doing better than my old s3 though, because doing my same run using both my tracks and S health, rocket player, and taking panorama pics, I still used 10% less battery than my s3 did only running my tracks and rocket player.

Me trying to drain it. Amazing in my opinion

How do you post pics. I'm using the tapatalk app and it says my screenshot filesize is too large

My phone is randomly heating up, not sure why..only using facebook on wifi...1 day old..

yeah, but i disabled fast charging because i thought i read somewhere that using fast charge could degrade the life of the battery over time..yea yea i know, batteries are cheap, but still. idk. plus you always have to have the samsung fast charger with you, which i obviously don't do. but "slow" charging still charges fast enough for me lol
either way the battery is pretty bad for me on day 2. i've disabled A LOT of bloat though, so who knows. wish we had root; i'd use greenify like i used to on the G2...

i had same thing and i noticed that i had several email accounts setup, but when i go to each inbox, they were empty and the device was constantly trying to sync, but nothing would push both ways, and therefore after a few hours phone got real hot. battery was draining like 10 percent every 15 mins.
after some testing, i found out that if you go into email advanced options, disable group as email conversatinos, and that fixed all my stuff, battery is great

Eh, I don't even have other emails setup besides my Gmail app...

First cycle results not too bad if you ask me. Fully charged it yesterday when I got it and took it off the charger when charging was complete been off the charger ever since... I've been trying to kill it by playing games Web browsing YouTube phone calls and it still going strong...

Almost 12 hours or moderate use and the battery usage was 90%. To me coming from the Note 2 this is not an improvement. Anyone coming from a Note3 with any other thoughts.

This is my results coming from a 100% battery charge.

idk how the hell you guys are getting like 5 hour screen on time. how quick do you drop from 100 to 99 after you unplug from charger? mines pretty quick. it's annoying. the g2 would stick on 100 percent for 20 minutes of screen on time and an hour off charger. this phone is at 90 by then. ridiculous. maybe I'm just spoiled by the g2s amazing battery life.
right now I'm at 12 percent left, with 14 hours 45 minute off charger and 3 hour 26 minutes screen on time. android system is my humber one battery user.. not even screen. the hell?

I say give it a few more days in order to better judge the battery. For the G3, the first few days had terrible battery life. The battery would last less than 20hrs and about 3hrs screen time. I was getting ready to dump it, but soon the battery life picked up. Now I always get over 24hrs with at least 4.5hrs screen time. Obviously two different devices from different manufacturers, but the point is to not be quick to judge it. My Note 4 will probably be arriving early next week.

yeah i hear you. if i recall, my g2 wasn't great at start either... but i cant really remember. anyway here was my final stats for today. it's on the charger now for a bit before bed.
my android system is higher than the screen on which is weird... never had that before on a phone.
