What's your screen on time?
4 hours this time but i got similar with almost 10h
Not trying to be rude but you DO know that the phone charged for quite some time in that interval (obvious from screenshot) and that the time doesn't reset unless it gets fully charged... right?
Even still, the fact that the whole graph represents three days, it would seem that you're getting over a day's worth on a full run-down. Not bad.
is your data mostly off ?
i'd wifi is almost always on.. never had such battery life before and yes was charged for a small time so its almost irrelevant i think (like, was charged when using nexus s as usb storage for transfer files for less than 30 minutes)

Battery charged from so low to 80-90% (shown on the graph) in 30 min using a computer USB? I don't see that happening in real life.

Very good! I understand why you are happy about it.
I never get Cell standby over 10%. I use it way to much

Not bad. What's your setup? ROM/kernel? I can't get anywhere near that level of battery life and I don't even use my phone that much.
After upgrading my Nexus S with ICS the battery was a bit weak but after a few recharges it's actually insanely good.
As you can see from screen shots my record is over 4 days. I wasn't using the phone that much but I still did a fair share of downloading via wi-fi and I took a bunch of photos and a few minutes of video, etc...
The phone did charge about 10% in between as you can see from the graph (I had it plugged in via USB to transfer some files on my PC).
mmm stange... mine experience with Nexus Beam 4.1 + Matrix 14.5 Kernel with SIO scheduler, lulzactive and 200/1000

My NS was upgraded using full ROM. Battery wise - similar to Gb. About 1.5 days. Normal medium to light use. Lots of whatsapp, a couple of txt, push mail for gmail & hotmail (30-50 emails daily), wifi always on, 3G, screen auto brightness.
I did a full wipe before upgrading with full ROM.
Mine's at 4d 7h 29m 44s right now with 36% battery left.. no charging, wifi on. Been working a lot so not really used it much, check clock and battery status from time to time and maybe 1-2 text messages a day and alarm clock and check email in the morning and that's about it.

what u mean i m doing it wrong
To be fair, running a smartphone without e-mail synced would sort of defeat the purpose (for many). Though to the point of this "official" thread -- I'm thankfully happy with the battery life on my Vibrant, and I have Gmail, Twitter, etc. running.
Let me guess you don't drain your phones battery either during its first use and let it completely charge up (while off) to 100%.
I did this with my wifes and mine. This has been the best battery life I've had out of a smart phone to date. I've gone up to 36 hours on one full charge. However normal is 18 hours then I charge when I go to bed and I don't even have the warning that my battery is dying.
I hate restarting my phone, it always resets my battery stats. I love seeing how long I can go .
I'm glad we have an official thread now.

I've read that this isn't necessary with Li-ion batteries (and in fact completely draining can be bad, though phones have a built-in protection mechanism to prevent total discharge)?
I will add that I briefly owned a Nexus One, and find the Vibrant's battery life to be much better... but "YMMV," i guess
completely draining IS bad, but our phone cuts off before this should be an issue (hence why, even if dead, you can still cut your phone on... though for not very long, this is not advised).
That said, the Vibrant has had VERY good battery life for me.... I also think the OP is "doing it wrong."
Seriously. How much do you do on the phone. The only way I drain this thing is surfing and downloading. I dont really have a lot of widgets. I guess if ur running alot of stuff you'll be burning battery life

Changed battery, changed device, changed ROMS. Only two things I see in common, the Vibrant and you. Personally I haven't had any issues with the Vibrant.
Just checked my battery status.
70%, unplugged for 8h 7m 38s
Display - 25%
Mediaserver - 24%
Cell Standby - 23%
CPU usage for Mediaserver - 1h 15m
Approx 1 hour of music and 5 podcasts.
Applications that I'm running that sync:
Facebook
Gmail
Google Voice
Google Talk (usually intercepts the first message then focus switches to my Desktop client)
Email via personal IMAP server (synced every 30minutes)
Yahoo Fantasy Football App
Mint App
bought the phone last week, charged to 100% with the phone off then began using it non-stop. the battery wasn't that great at first, but i have since gone through about 2-3 full cycle charges, usually draining the phone until shutoff, then leaving it on USB charge overnight. charged to 100% by the morning, then i would turn the phone on and charge a bit more until it read 100% while on. since then i have charged a couple times with the phone on, here and there. my last charge was with the phone off, wall charged overnight. no top off needed.
all syncing and background data turned on
use wifi at work, set to never turn off
3g disabled unless i need it
auto brightness
settings > sound and display > DISABLE "power saving mode"
use black.png background because i like how dark it is
don't use any data grabbing widgets
it's been 32+ hours since i last unplugged and i'm sitting at 22%
two full days use off a single charge is a-okay in my book! other peoples' use may vary, but this is my personal setup. i think doing a couple of full cycle charges in the beginning really helps. i'm completely satisfied with my current battery life, even with all the speed tests, wifi/3g surfing, and goofing around with the GPS

Sorry, I cannot do screenshot 'cos my phone is not rooted and complete stock everything, but as I posted in some other battery related thread my phone hold to 2 days 12 hours and 30 min with 3% left over Columbus day weekend.
BTW, TWS was over 50%
battery meter is in blue minimalist theme and not photo shopped i have posted other screen shots with 45 hours and so on. stud muffler if you cant go download shoot me to provide screen shots i dont believe you are getting that battery life especially because the sprint apps use the most juice and the galaxy rom is way more conservative scaling on the cpu. also no one else on stock is making the same claim as you are with that usage dont make claims you are not able to back up with proof this is android not apple. everything can be verified very easily. you do not need root for shoot me. if im not at my house where i have wifi my battery gets drained really fast on 3g with no data usage kinda sucks.
I see that the Display is at 11%. What kind of usage is this? The math says that is about 4.5 hours of being "on". I can see with the right setup those sorts of numbers being attainable. The difference being actually using the device a lot would kill more battery. What exactly is your usage pattern?
Edit: Whoops I didn't read all the way. Wifi is a big plus for battery life. I'm tempted to try out the Galaxy rom now.

so whats the point of this thread? I can do this too at my house, just hook up to wifi and the battery lasts forever, its the 3g that drains it as you said.
That's pretty amazing...I'm wondering what the 1 battery is? Car battery perhaps? LOL
I think the most I ever got with light/almost no use was around 19 hours with about 10-13% remaining battery. That's just a guess though...I wasn't trying to test the battery...just didn't talk to anyone for a day or use the phone for anything in general.
Somethings not right. Since when does the screen eat up less than any other process? Thats the top drain on all other epics

If you seldom use the phone for anything, the proportion of power used by the screen goes down, and so does total battery drain. Then you can brag that you got 60 + hours.

He still had about 4.5 hours of screen on time which is pretty damn good if you ask me. In my daily use I get around 13 hours of battery with a screen on time of about 2 hours, if I'm reading a book using kindle I get 9 or 10 hours with about 3 hours of screen on time.....so he has a higher screen on time than me and still gets like 2x more battery than me (I've seen his other screenshots) on average

i also don't know where people are getting 4.5 hours of screen on time from the screenshot. It's not 11% of the total battery time on. It's 11% of the batteries overall use. It doesn't really have anything to do with the total time unplugged. Some fuzzy math going on heh.
I was at 42% battery when I just plugged in my phone tonight so it's charged up for work tomorrow.
It's not that hard to get these kind of numbers with light use.

How come yours saya "Unplugged for" instead of "Since unplugged"? Not saying its fake or anything, just never seen that before lol

Because in the SS it's charging and changes to "unplugged for". It saves the amount of time it was last unplugged for. If I unplugged it then it will say "Since unplugged" and reset the timer.
Yeah, not shopped, I'm not looking to score e-cred over cell phone screenshots.
I use my device so much my display & voice calls generally wear down battery in 6 hrs tops. used to be 10-12 but since di18 it sucks .. might be both updates idk. I'm anticipating some good reads to learn up on flashing & such so maybe ill be able 2 get better life. my browser speeds suck
Looks like a Day or Two of Airplane mode,
Im rooted and tweaked and get about 20 good hours of use-able time

How is everyone's battery life... I think I came in overhyped by some reviews like engadget's praising the battery life of this phone but in reality haven't been too impressed.
I have to change how I use my phone in order to make it through the day... I did cone from an iphone 4 though...
Give it a day or so. My initial full charge barely lasted a few hours. My next one, though, lasted 12+ hours with pandora running, and the screen on half the time.
Give it a little time. Battery and phone both need to calibrate their readings. I got ~7 hours with display on today (1.5 hours browsing, 5+ hours movie).
Got my phone a few days ago. Last night I went to bed at 12 and didn't plug in my phone, it had 50% remining. I woke up at 11 am and the phone was dead. I charged it to full, now its reporting 30% at 11 hours later. This is with night mode on and I barely touched the phone today, maybe 20 texts max. The thing using most of the battery is phone idle.

This I too noticed. Uses too much battery when idle. I will charge to 100% and see how it fares while I sleep.
I plan on leaving mine unplugged for the night as well. I wonder why this phone idle is using so much battery though.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
1) this is like the 10th battery thread. Many answers can be found in the others.
2) Yes. Your battery needs to calibrate over time.
3) Android users more battery when on because of all the things it syncs with in the background: weather, mail, maps, etc.
4) again due to it's syncing it uses more in the background. To find out what dial *#*#info#*#* and look at the battery stats of what had been running. Look at Other Usage especially.

Download Green Power in the Market. Insane improvement. I've used it on my Nexus One (Atrix is coming tomorooow!! for a month now and I've gone 50-60% plus on duration.
I have been running slacker and just web browsing for approx 1.5 hours and am down from 100% to 70%... This is after about four days of nightly charging. I am running green power too with no wifi managment. I have gps etc off. The battery analysis shows that the display is using 80% of the juice. Is any of this normal or is something wrong here?
Sent from my Atrix
The Atrix's battery is the best battery in an Android phone I've used to date. I just left Sprint and thought the Epic 4G's battery was decent. After using this for a few days, I realize that the battery in this thing is AWESOME!
While we were with Sprint, my wife had the EVO 4g and now has the Inspire 4G. NONE of these phone hold a candle to the battery life of the Atrix.
So i left mine unplugged over night again, just tried to turn it on and i got "Modem did not power up (0). Starting RSD protocol support. Battery is too Low to flash.
battery info and network searching
First post here and I'm not a developer but have some feedback for this. Couldn't share without registering first. Won't be a pest.
Had the battery issue with the atrix and called att. The suggested a microcell booster as i was only getting one bar here (H+) at home. The store in San Diego gave me one for free and I installed it and have been off the charger for well over 24 hours now and at 50%. granted I'm not using it much as I have computer at home too. However, just sitting on the table before the booster and it would be at 50% in 4 hours.
Went to the laguna mountains in the middle of nowhere two days ago and it had edge network only. The battery lasted all day and night. The drive out there had H+ and edge in the middle of the cleavland nat forest.
If the atrix is searching for networks it uses battery like crazy.
Also tech support said there was no way to force edge connectivity on the atrix. There has been a code suggested here (I don't recall it now) that is supposed to do it but it is only for international use.

agree with everyone else, give it a few days.
I used some advice i found the said kill battery, charge full, kill battery, charge full, kill, charge, then use it. Charge it while it is off during that time.
First couple of charges, the battery would die after about 5-6 hours of constant "messing around" with the phone. Now it seems like it'll last a good time.
Im completely stock as well.

Like everyone else said you really need to give it some time to break in.
My first day with the Nexus the battery was dying as I left work (roughly 9 hours off the charger).
After owning the phone for about a month now it's changed dramatically.
It lasts well through the entire day, every day. Before I go to bed it's usually sitting around...
70-80% LIGHT use.
50% Moderate use
35-40% Heavy use. (Note: I don't play games, Heavy use to me is multiple short calls, many emails, many texts, IM)
I've never actually had the phone die on me.
I'm using CM7 (Latest Nightly) and the Netarchy CFS Kernel (default settings with the exception of VooDoo Color tweaks)
I don't use Juice Defender. Phone sits on 3G most of the day at the office, at home it sits on WiFi with the WiFi sleep policy set to never. (Wifi uses much less power then 3G, if you have WiFi, USE IT! and set sleep policy to never so WiFi stays on constantly instead of switching back to 3G when the phone is idle)
Do use a task manager but it didn't seem to make a huge difference.
Aside from letting your battery calibrate, you should try out juice defender. I know alot of people might scoff at a such an application but I've experienced over a two fold increase in battery life using said application. However I am running an undervolted netarchy 1.3.4 kernel with Oxygen, but said increase in battery life is with the same configuration.
Yeah it takes around a week to break in the battery. My battery life is pretty awesome. I usually charge it every other day now. It lasts a long time.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Guys... battery break in isn't gonna change his usage from 4 hrs to 12 hrs. No battery break-in does that.
In all these cases I suggest looking at battery info in the OS itself to see if something kept the phone awake or whatever.
Sure heavy use in your first few days will always take a huge toll on battery. Calibration shouldn't totally throw off your battery life down to 4 hours either.
You guys who say heavy use, can you quantify that?
talk time per day?
texts per day?
roaming?
4g?
how many emails sent/received per day?
time on internet?
/shameless plug
try battery tweak in dev forums... i posted it in both of them

I'm in the same boat as you. Just got my Nexus S 4G on three days ago and the battery dies QUICKLY. The first day it died in 5 hours (with normal use and 4G off). By the time I unplug it and get to work, which is only a 20 minute drive, it's already down to 93%. I'm hoping everyone else is right in saying that the battery just has to be worked in a little.
I have 8 hours on battery right now with about 40% remaining in day 2 of my Nexus' usage. I made about 6 phone calls, sent out about 20 text messages, browsed the internet while waiting for a job interview and played Plants V Zombies when I was taking a dump.
I really only expect it to improve from here.
Out of curiousity, does anyone here have their "Use Wireless Networks" checked under the "Location and Security" settings (where it uses your 3G)? I have this enabled and I know this will drain my battery, but I wonder how much? The only app I have that updates my location while the screen is off is the stock News and Weather app (which only updates every 6 hours, a bug that automatically turns itself back on if you reset your phone). How much collection would Google do other than that?
Also, the other thing I have enabled is my Exchange set to push through the default Email app. However, this never really shows up on the battery usage app, so is push STILL killing the battery a lot through the stock app?
I'm just trying to see how people can get two days with 50% left after work (if just on 3G). On WIFI, MAYBE, but def not on 3G......
My battery life has been pretty good. However, the number one thing consistently using battery is "Android System". Is this normal? Thanks!
Same here. On all my other Android phones Screen is the top user.
U are using ips technology on the screen unlike amold that saamy used which kills the battery in hours in full brightness . As you could see that the iPhone has good batttery life because the 720p ips screen.

I've found that rebooting the phone after taking it off of charge, the battery life is awesome. There seem to be some wakelocks that kill the battery and for some reason, charging has something to do with it.
I don't know if this is why, but I heard the G2 has special screen technology that greatly reduces battery drain.

Those claiming that Android System > Screen for battery use on the G2...I'm coming from a Nexus 4 which is also IPS.

Yeah, somthing about 30% lower battery use or something like that. It's 6 hours since I took mine off the charger, must admit very moderate use, some toying, some photos, some mails and 1 phone call. but still, my phone is at 96% battery. My old S2 would be at 60% at this point.

What's your highest battery user?
I'm at 93% after 5 hours with only a dozen SMSes, an IMAP push account with a few emails, and 2 other pop accounts, very light use...Android System is 34%, Screen 21%.

I tried this and it worked. However, one instance is not proof I guess haha. I will experiment more tomorrow (namely, not rebooting after charging) and let you know what I find. I wonder what specifically about charging may cause wakelocks?
Over 48 hours of use, more than 50% battery left. 3,5 hours screen time. Android system worst offender with 35%, screen 2nd with 25%.

If you look at the programs listed under Android System, try uninstalling the ones that you would never use. This has seemed to help me. But to be honest it was kind of unnessary because the battery life is just crazy badass. In a few weeks or so when the devs have there way this phone is going to be epic.
It is two things, which by the way are great news.
A) LG's screen tech which doesn't refresh pixels when the images are static
and B) IPS
What we can't control is screen power consumption, but guess what? We can control android system consumption through kernels and roms. This means that we can *hopefully* expect EVEN BETTER! battery life since the screen is, for 80% of users, the main culprit for energy drain.
Just a quick note that flashing CleanROM on my ATT LG G2 basically took my battery life from <20% at the end of the workday to just under 80% at the end of the work day with increased use on the CleanROM install. Highly recommended.
Been off the charger since 6:50 this morning. Sitting here at work doing some texting, Words With Friends, and a test call for a co-worker...96% at 12:15pm. My Nexus would have been at 40% by now.
So is Android System different from Android OS?
I normally can squeeze out 15-22 hours since installing Snapdragon Battery Guru. Which has been working great until today.
Here's my situation today:
-100% charge at around 1230am. Light to moderate usage leaves me with
-77% between night before and waking up (only dropped like 2% overnight) at
-830, then i worked from 9 to 1230 so i didnt use my phone too much. But since ive been off work ive been using it more so im not too surprised about my low battery level currently.
But what concerns me is Android OS using half my battery! It says its been active for more than 4 hours and i dont understand where it comes from. Its way more than my screen usage even with a screen time of little over 3 hours.
Anyone know whats up with Android OS? It doesnt tell me what is running when i select it so im lost.
Also ive done many of the suggestions in this thread with positive results. Ive been monitoring my wakelocks and since doing some of the suggestions on here nlpcollector has actually gone down.

Just to benchmark .... I used the phone moderatley ..
I did.. a little over 50 hours of total on time
4.75 hours of on screen time,
2 hours of spotify with bluetooth for the entire time,
2 hours of MapMyRun with GPS running ..
then various text messaging and a couple phone calls
The only modifications i've made to the stop experiance is taking of google's location service for programs, but leaving GPS active .. and changing the screen to auto-brightness, baseline of 50%.
I came from the SGS2 ..... with 1 hour of on screen time and the other spotify and bluetooth .. i'd be around 10-20% after 8-10 hours !!!!!
Mines pretty awesome.

I'm not sure if my battery is defective or not. Right out of the box was around 75% and I drained it until it turned off then charged it to full.
Over the next few days at work it's on wifi and then on 3G/4G before /after work. I pull it from the charger at 7:30am and by 7pm its at 40%. Then on Friday night I unplugged it at 12am with 100% and woke up the next day with 80%. It's dropping like 1% about 10-15minutes. Would a factory reset fix the battery drain? or call for a replacement?
