Wow thats amazing... and your the first to make such a claim and have proof to back it up! @ days and change... wow! (hope its not photo shopped)... also running live wallpapers etc... very impressive! Still with 30 percent batt left?! What batery meter are u using btw... damn I think i might try that combo on my epic now...lol!
nice share!
but looks like very mild usage... what kind of batt do u get with moderate and heavy usage?

this week I'm learning how to flash roms, my phone got SIX hours with NO USE today. I'm fed up with it.

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.

@styckx:
How come yours saya "Unplugged for" instead of "Since unplugged"? Not saying its fake or anything, just never seen that before lol
Sent from my Epic 4G using XDA app.

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

I never understand y ppl brag about standby battery life. not saying op is showing stats based on that but to me its a pointless test when ppl do it that way.

Not impressed.

[Q] Absolute Best battery?

What rom (stock sense look) has the best battery overall. I rooted my moms evo to get her a great battery life but it still seems to be dying really quickly. I am using 4.3.1 kernel. She's only getting around 6-10 hours of battery before she has to charge it. I had the evo before and could get a full day and a half before charging it. I can't remember my setup since I switched to the evo shift. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

im using the cm7 rc 2 whatever kernal is package there is PHENOMINAL im at 60% @ about 12hr..... Moderate use between wifi and 3g

That's the best you're gonna get with NORMAL usage and a REGULAR battery. All those users that say they get like a day or two are full of it. They get that long because their phones are sleeping most the time. I've used EVERY rom/kernel combo out there and the best I ever got was about 15 hours. I literally use my phone all day while at work from browsing, texting, calls, facebook ,twitter, and games. There should be a definition for moderate. I consider myself a heavy user; unplug at 7am and my phone last until about 6pm with about 20% left. Its not going get any better than that for a moderate to heavy user. From sense to aosp with the stock battery I just never achieved better results but I'm pretty happy since I get to work at 8am and get off at 5, buy 7pm its nearly dead and I just plug it up. You should invest in an extended battery imo.

I agree to a point. I mean, it all depends on usage. I can believe someone with light-moderate use can easily get a full day with the right setup. I do it now with CM/Savage, but I'm definitely not a heavy user.
I do see some people make wild claims of 2-4 days without a charge.. and I think it's possible IF you don't use your phone or you turn everything that makes it a smartphone off. Which is pointless IMO.
Nobody can really give you the perfect setup because every EVO seems to behave differently. We can only make suggestions. Make sure your mom s awareof all the things that can drain battery (push notification, updating widgets, weather updates etc etc). I would then research a good sense rom/kernel because CM7 is a definite WIP with different issues for different users, it may turn her off.
Maybe check out MikFroyo or Myns rom. I hear a lot about how good they are.

+1, its just crazy I see people throwing crazy hours out there lol. I think if your phone is sleeping 75% if the time then you shouldn't even talk about your results since that doesn't fit into the norm for usage. Most people check their phone like every 10 mins(don't quote me) I know I do lol. People throw around like 36 hours and even longer its insane to me.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I don't know about not being able to get more than a day of battery life and use your phone. Using MIUI with a Savaged-Zen kernel I was able to go almost 2 days without even plugging it in once (I'm specifying this, because I've seen screenshots where people claim crazy battery life, but the graph clearly shows that the phone was plugged in and charging several times throughout that time period), and my display usage was still 44% of my battery. That was still minimal usage for me. I posted the screenshot in the MIUI thread if you care enough to check.
I do mostly agree, though. Most people posting outrageous battery life have display percentages around 5-10%, clearly never removing the phone from their pockets.
Anyway, as for the OP, the biggest missing variable is that we don't know at what percent your mom considers it necessary to charge her phone. If she plugs it in around 50% to be sure she can make it through the day, that means she could have gotten another 5-8 hours of battery life (assuming she's not draining it down to 0%). This fact could make the difference between bad battery life and a paranoid mother.

Try the ava froyo z3 I love it best rom I've used so far so guess I'm sticking with it o and get her juice defender with ultimate juice and lock it down so it kills anything she's not using

I agree with most of you people. Initially went to FreshEvo by Flipz when I rooted and battery life did not change much from when I was running stock. I have since switched to CM7 and battery life is significantly improved. Now getting 12 hours on a single charge with moderate use. I always turn 4G and wifi antenna off when not performing any data-intensive use. But I refuse to kill my 3G data connection when my phone is in my bag or desk while at work. Reality is that it IS a smart phone and killing the data to save battery life defeats the smart phone bit, no email no Facebook syncing no MMS etc. The only time I kill 3G is when I am in the mountains skiing.
My problem is that I work a 12 hour shift so 12 hours of bat life is not ideal. I have invested in an extra charger but would obviously be happy to not use this. I have heard lots of testimony that the savaged Zen kernals show some promise in improving bat life. When CM7 final drops I plan on flashing one of these kernals with the new ROM on wipe. I will stay away from the SBC version though for fear of improving battery charging but having my phone melt down or pop on the night stand next to me while I sleep... or worse in my pocket!
I will report back if I get any significant results.

How is the battery life ?

Everywhere I read about this phone, I don't see it mention the battery life. With a big battery there should be some baterry review.

Galaxy S II has 4.3" screen and 1650 mAh battery,
Galaxy Note has 5.3" screen and 2500 mAh battery.
it looks like Note's battery life is not much but longer than S II

Got mine today.
Charged it to 100% at 7pm.
From then i used it almost all the time with the display on (now it's almost 12pm here)
Batterie has now 75% left.
Looks good...

Stopped charging at 7 a.m. at 100%, surfing, making 2 calls, doing some fun stuff with the pen (drawing, making some videos for youtube to show), playing some Fieldrunners HD, now 40% left.
At home since 4 p.m. and connected to the Wifi hotspot.

This is great news! Thanks for sharing. Hoping to order mine soon.

How long does it take to charge from drained to FULLY. I have the the infuse and it takes forever to charge, it is not fast charge like HTC is or any other smartphone. Samsung seems to take forever to charge compared to other Smartphones.

Time to charge will depend on the
1. battery capacity,
2. charger and
3. settings about how fast the battery can be charged
1- no control.
2- chargers are mostly 1mAp . Default charger for samsung gives only 650mAP ( at least in SGSII ) . So u can use a more powerful charger.
3. Kernel changes can be made to make charging faster
Downside of faster charging : Lower battery life in the long run.

Day one with a full charge in the morning.
Ofcourse I used it more than usual, its new you know....
I guess battery life will be sort of the same as the Galaxy S2, about 1 day of moderate use.
I think thats too short, way too short. (had a mophie juice for all my iPhones, and the Samsung S2 official battery pack)
3500 or 4000ma would be so much more convenient..... Room enough in the case of the note I guess.... Who cares about the few extra grams....

That makes perfect sense then why your Wifi is on all the time.
If you change it to 'When screen turns off' it should then terminate Wifi when your not using the phone.

YABB Yet Another Battery *****ing Thread

Gawdang battery, lasted too long!
So my first android was the nexus one, then the galaxy s, then the nexus S. I am used to the "fantastic" battery life of android phones. So yesterday I was deciding on whether to get the galaxy nexus to continue the tradition, but decided to get the note instead.
I want to do the right thing and that is to do a full charge and full discharge on the first few rounds of battery life but it took AGES for it to discharge fully. I am so pleased with this, I now have better battery life than my wife's iphone.
******** If you see the battery chart, I could not resist playing with the phone so did a little charge there. I am also trying to avoid root as long as possible, after the so call "stock vanilla" experience, its nice to have toggles on the notification without jumping through loops

Wow. 6 hours. That's impressive

I got my Note on Thursday morning. I didn't have time to set it up until Friday evening. I fully charged the battery first. I've got gmail and twitter syncing, and bluetooth and wifi on. I've made a few calls and showed it off to my family on Christmas Eve. It hasn't been heavy use by any stretch, but I have yet to recharge the battery - it's at 33% right now with screen on time of just over three hours. I'm pretty satisfied so far.

You see from the screenshot that he was charging for a while.
So I don't understand this thread. How can you know how long battery last for if you part charge it?

Not much to understand, my friend. This thread was not made to prove anything, just to show I am real happy with my phone. You are completely right, I did charge it in the middle, I was transfering songs and movies out from the computer and forgot to take it off the usb.
I am now on the second from full to zero. Lets see how much screen time I can get, but already its a winner for me. 77% with 10h on battery and 1h 39m screen time.
Happy holidays all.

Congrats on your new purchases, may you have much joy with it, like I do mine.

i got the note a few days ago and im very pleased with the battery usage. right now on normal usage im on 48 hours of on time, with 40% battery left. display is the biggest usage of course, and has been on 2.5 hours. ive done lots of installing via wifi and playing with new apps and running games, and a few calls, etc. my old galaxy s would get 48 hours only with very minimal usage and nowhere near 2.5 hours of the display on.

So I am now on my 2nd discharge or 3rd and I rooted it, so there was a whole lot of plugging in and adb and stuff, but I think on a real discharge I can get away with about 4 hours screen time, that is stretching it i think but, generally still very very happy with it. Compared to the nexus S and the galaxy s before, this is heaven for me. I still maintain its better than the wife's 4S

Wow. It sounds like a lot of us with battery problems might still have half full batteries falsely claiming to be empty. Aside from turning off the heater function, this might be the next big explaination of "poor battery"

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.

From full battery to this overnight + breakfast usage. Rasbean + Matr1x v3.0. Never seen anything like it. Coming from the GN, this phone is a different dimension altogether. On any aspect..

Had phone for 5 days. Drained phone to 10% then fully charged. Moderate to light use made it through a day.
Stock rooted + Franco Kernel.

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.

It's always incredibly funny when someone comes in saying everyone else's subjective battery advice is bad then claims his subjective battery advice as correct.

You clearly misunderstood my post. Food you even read it?
There is nothing subjective about 3 hours screen time.

My battery is fine.

His phone was mostly on standby/deep sleep mode. That's how it lasted 2days.

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.
had 3-4 sot using "original" battery. but after replacing with real genuine from official lg spare parts shop 5-6...
