5 days yeah, im assuming you mean 5 days on standby meaning you barely if ever used it in that time because it is practically impossible otherwise to get that amount of battery for 5 days.

One man post on some forum. 7 days

Jeeez you lot are obsessed!
Plug sockets arnt hard to find!

with an intelligent use of the power-off button your battery may last some weeks...

I had 4.5 day on normal use but disabled data.

Bang on man! think my worst case I have burned through a whole battery in a 4-5hours (chroot vnc gps etc) you know what though, it's not an iphone carry a spare!!! have a charger, have a battery pack charger, have a car charger!
the slightly more worrying factor for me is the power draw of some apps being greater than the draw on car charge.
I-on road for example probably the only truely useful AR app but V. battery intensive (gps and camera on full time go figure)

Lol - it doesnt matter how many days you got, i bet it was still only 3-4hrs screen on time like everyone else.

Yeah carry a spare battery and don't worry about it, no point on spend $600 on a phone only to use it like a $50 one.

Battery question

This has probably been asked a million times but I have searched for an hour and cant seem to find exactly what I am looking for. I reset my battery stats because my battery life has been horrible the last week. My phone now says fully charged but the meter only shows 92. Should I let it die completely and recharge completely and then it will be fixed or will it just do the same thing? I am on ICS passion 10.6 if that makes a differnece. Ill be getting a slim 220o mah battery next week but this is still annoying me. I work 10+ hours a day and text my wife a lot and im only getting 13 hrs on the battery. About 100 texts, 30 min of web and I get auto updates via craigslist notification. GPS and wi-fi are off and my sync settings are for 1 time per day. Thanks all!

13 hours is pretty good. also, read this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT

I like to use an app called android booster u can go in and see exactly what app is draining the most battery that might help

Did you check out the stickied guide called "[How to] You Want Better Battery Life:::Read This" in the Vibrant Q&A section? There's some really good stuff in there. It won't help in solving your battery only charging to 92% issue, but it should help you get the most out of your battery.

Thanks all, my biggest issue I'd with the meter reading wrong, but I'll check out the better battery life thread, I can always use an improvement!

Try downloading "Battery Calibration" from the Market. When your battery reaches the max charge that you see possible, calibrate it, and reset your phone. Always works for me.

Battery works fine?
So no problems with this battery? I saw an 1800 but this might be better if it works and fits ok.

I should have it tomorrow or wed ill let you know about the fit

In the picture on the link you provided, that battery looks like it has four contacts, not like the Vibrant's three.
Some other pics I found on google images show that might be the case, too.
I am not holding out much hope that this battery will work for you. But if it does, please follow up and let us know.

^^ This will solve your battery problem.. The 1800 mAh adds an extra 25% battery life span.. 25% make a HUGE difference

Did it work?? I need to get the 1800 milli-Amp battery. Right now I'm doing the 2 battery swap deal, which isn't too bad

With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.
Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.
Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.

Read this in a different thread when i was unboxing my nexus 7, i let mine sit for a while on the charger before i turned it on, but it came charged already. So far i have not let my nexus drain to 0% and the battery life on it is great, it can go for a entire day.

I too just got one. May be came out of the box with 4.2. After I signed in I checked for an update manually, and it immediately upgraded to 4.2.1. I then rooted immediately! Battery has been impressive so far.

Sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Unless you plan to remain on the stock ROM just unlock/root it and then install what ever ROM you like.

Weird Battery?

I just installed apex launcher yesterday and thought id change the power toggles icon to battery to keep an eye on how the launcher would affect my battery life. A few hours ago i charged my phone fully. I noticed the battery went to 98 percent fairly quickly but then it went back up to 100. I checked my battery stats to make sure it wasnt just the power toggles playing up. But the graph actually showed the battery percentage going up.
Any ideas?

Is your device new?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

The battery meter and graph are more of a rough approximation of your battery. It reads off of the current the battery receives. If it spikes you could see the battery graph drop a little and then go back up.

All reviews I've read online have said that it'll last the day easily which is all I need. Extreme Power Saving Mode is a handy feature too.

Off the battery at 7AM EMT, so far at 94% with GPS and wifi on. Doing well! I wish I could check on screen time though...

As of this post, it is 9:27AM right now.

Use Gsam battery monitor to check on screen time.

Phone was just released yesterday. As with all other battery powered devices, give it a few days and break it in. That's when you see just how good or bad it really is. One day later does not give you a definitive answer.
