Is there less battery life with epic 4g compare to skyrocket?
I dont see as much threads about battery issue vs the skyrocket
Ummmmm I don't think your talking about the right phone your looking for the Samsung Epic 4g Touch which is sprints variant of the SGSII which is what skyrocket is but on At&T

We own an? Epic touch 4g and the old epic 4g. The epic touch has much better battery than my epic 4g...by far.
Either compared to a skyrocket I can't. But the et4g gets an average of 15 hours and 3 hour screen on time. My epic 4g is struggling w 12 hours and 2 hour screen on time. The et4g always has more left.

You also have to consider the stock battery on the OG Epic 4G is 1500 mAh and on the ET4G, it is 1800 mAh (20% more). Now you can put the 1800 mAh battery in the OG Epic 4G and then do a battery comparison test between the OG Epic 4G and the ET4G.
I consitently get 3-4 hours screen on time and 24 hours overall. Sounds like you need to reflash that Epic. I get 5 hours display time and 30 hours overall with the E4GT battery in mine.

If I'm on wifi that's no problem...my numbers were all 3g in sub par signal area. I could believe better if I was blanketed in nice green 3g coverage.

Yeah also remember the ET4G has a 20% bigger battery and is a lot newer than the Epic which I am sure has a worn battery.

Does the evo have this?
Nope. In fact, when the Evo is on 3G, it starts recharging.

on wifi i get good life but on 3g it goes meh
I've noticed that 3G mode murders the battery as well. I was out last Saturday night and put the phone into 3g only mode because I hadn't tweaked it enough to trust battery life under 4G or WiFi. The damn thing was dead in 4 hours of very little use.
Really, it's not much wonder though because the 3G chipset in it is the first Rev.A chipset Qualcomm ever produced. Why they chose it I'll never understand.
Anyone know what kind of battery are they using for myTouch 4G? Battery life is everything to me and I'm not the kind of person who carries around a charger all the time. I bought an EVO 4G batterry (1700mAH) for my G2 and it's amazing. With the EVO 4G battery my G2 can last up to a whole day of heavy usage.
I know myTouch 4G is running on a 1400mAH battery but is there an extended battery like how the EVO 4G battery can fit into the G2.
1700 is the highest so far
I would expect the battery life on the Mytouch 4G to be pretty good, certainly much better than the EVO.
The processor is basically the same processor as the G2 clocked a little faster (1Ghz vs 800Mhz) and running Sense instead of Vanilla Android which would hurt the battery life, but the battery is larger 1400 ma, vs 1300 so I would expect the battery life to be close.
The G2 battery life is excellent, I consistently get over 18hrs with moderate usage and connected to WiFi a good bit of the time.
The Mytouch 4G battery is not as long as the G2's battery.
the new 1ghz snapdragon should use less battery compared to the older version since the chip size is smaller.
Today I am at over 9 hours using the phone for calls for about a third if that. Used the WiFi all day and have moderate usage.
Phone comes with decent battery life. I can tell you exact #s but it requires a battery pull and I'm currently typing on it so I don't think it would turn out so well. Lol

The longest anyone has had it on their phones is like 15 hours. Give it a few days.
You won't be able to really tell for a few days when people stop picking up their phones every 10 seconds to play with it.

I fixed my gps early this morning and then set it up with a full charge to do a battery calibration. I turned 4G on to help it drain. I also used it to read xda for about 30 minutes earlier this morning (not sure why the battery stats don't seem to show everything that has been running). Here's where I'm at 8 hours later. I would say the battery life is pretty freaking great! Can't wait for some UV'ing once we get source.
Note: I have Overclock widget set to 1000/200 screen on and 400/200 screen off.

i somewhat second this i have left it unplugged all last night and i am at like 80-90 percent full with some what use..
I am still using juice defender, but my phone as been off the charger for almost 12 hours and I am probably around 75% battery left. I will be testing out turning off JuiceDefender tomorrow, but for now it looks amazing.
CRAPPPP
it some actually deads faster than 2.1
I've been having pretty fantastic battery life. So far the phone has been unplugged for 6 hours, I've been texting on and off all day, and played angry birds for about an hour. I'm sitting at 75%. Probably not fantastic but not bad.
I've noticed an improvement, but as to how much, I'm not sure. Maybe 20 to 40 percent better.

Quote of the day!
from a epic Galaxy far, far away.
excellent battery life
61 percent with some youtube , texting surfing the web angry birds and 4g on(sleep mode for 4g works really well) and apperently my gps was on all day. Its been 7 hours and 32 minutes ..I would normally be at like 35 percent
I have definitely noticed an improvement. It seems as good as baked ultimate and that says a lot.

I am getting battery life like it's a completely different phone.
I was always rooted but with stock roms and kernels and on 2.1 my battery life was frighteningly bad. I have been on for well over 8 hours and using my phone off and on all day checking out froyo features and the battery indicator is showing still nearly full battery life. On 2.1 I would have had to pop it on the charger at around 2 pm today or earlier.
* I am going to be making a thread about LEGIT improvements that froyo gives us with this phone. There are a ton of piss and moan threads, but froyo adds a ton of features (several i'm sure I don't know about) and MUCH BETTER battery life. *
I had the Epic 4g and was not impressed at all with the battery life...even with just 3g only enabled and brightness low.
I was eyeing the Nexus S. Possibley...if anyone has had both...can tell me please how the Nexus S battery life compares to the Epic?

Few threads down there's a great discussion about the battery life, mate.

I can't compare it to the epic but I can compare it to the vibrant which was notorious for poor battery life. I just played NFS shift on my NS for 2 straight hours and my battery level barely moved. That's also with wifi and bt on. So far I'm very impressed with the battery life on this.

Any one else notice better battery life on lte vs wifi? I'm on 4.4.2 but it has always been like this since I got 4g where I live. On my wifi at home I get about 3 hours screen on time(I even have it set to turn wifi off when screen is off) , vs on 4g I'm getting about 5 to 6 hours screen on time
On lte I get anywhere between 5 to 15Mb down(depending on time of day) and wifi I get about 17Mb down, I know that doesn't matter just saying anyways
Been testing my battery life for weeks and wasn't using wifi when testing lte and vice versa except when the screen was off it would revert to lte, before I got 4g where I am battery life was horrible on 3g. Maybe 2 hours screen on time and my gs4 would get hot
Anyways just seems odd that lte is more efficient than wifi so I don't even use wifi unless Sprint is having network problems.
Thanks for reading my crap lol

Ever since I've gotten reliable LTE at home I never turn on wifi. I only use wifi when I'm in a poor signal building. My battery has never been better since going LTE all the time.
well that baffles me
i thought LTE takes the most juice
i for one always get much longer battery use if im on wifi all day instead of LTE

maybe its based on the signal quality
I get much better battery life on wifi, lte sucks some battery! you're getting 5-6hrs screen time on lte? stock battery? most I saw was a little over 5hrs on mostly wifi

It has to do with your signal strength. A strong LTE signal is much better than a weak Wifi signal. Beyond that, the Wifi DTIM interval can theoretically have an effect on your battery life. If you have a router that allows you to change some advanced settings or are running DD-WRT or Tomato, you can try raising the DTIM interval to maybe 3 or 5m which should improve your Wifi battery life.

Stock battery, guess I got really good 4g signal where I'm at. Sucks cause I'm moving soon tho lol

Ever since they starting attaching the lte unit to the motherboard, the battery life has gotten a lot better. Though signal does effect it, battery is usually better on lte then on wifi.
