Battery: my first full charge :)

Hey, I just want to share my battery experience.
Here in the forums we hear a lot about problems. I ordered my phone almost 1 month ago and it just arrived last Thursday. During this whole month I read a lot about battery issues and I was afraid of having it too.
For my surprise it's been wonderful.
So, I want to post this positive experience to calm anyone that's anxious about this problem, as I was three days ago.
I wrote what happened in the screen shot, but basically I'm always connected via wi-fi or 3G, a little bit of web, games, downloads, apps and messages, and only about 3 or 4 calls (it's the feature I use less)
Thanks

Thats pretty sweet. I experienced great battery life for the first 2 days i had it but after putting loads of widgets and etc on it, my battery life isnt so great :/. That damn android os taking up the majority of it.

yeah, the only push notification i use is whatsapp.
as I work with my gmail, facebook and twitter open all day, I don't need their push notification in my phone.
I think it helps too

well, I used as I will use in my real life.
I don't spend 6 hours looking to the screen.
as I said, I work in front of a laptop 12h/day...
My conclusion is that the battery responds my real life needs.
This was not a heavy performance test.

Check out my battery usage and I still have 8% left.....the d stand for day, just so you know.

the airplane mode really helped it. i'd love to see your results with just leaving it regular during the night.

Here is mine with a light usage. Large drops are reboot or GPS. Have I broken the record for the longest battery life?

Overheating Bug? (Charging Paused)

hey guys, was doing some wifi syncing, went for a shower, came back, screen was off but the battery was at 1% hehe, i plugged the charger in and this is what came up:

strange right? i then unplugged the charger and put it back in, it was back to normal..
but heres the temps... temps are legit, the phone was cool to the touch (and i know what warm is! )
...

I've had this issue too. The other day my phone was at 52degrees whilst charging.
Someone suggested the cases may be to blame. I use a gel skin but have sent for the official case.

yeah, but the temperatures are cooler than normal? :S, it NEVER hits below 29.0C ...

Today is a hot day, and my phone is at 32 degrees whatsapping online for 20 minutes. But playing games it jumps to 40-45, really painful to receive a call after that. I hope they can lower the CPU speed when it gets hot, that way it won't create as much heat or something. I don't know.

I am having this same issue on my Galaxy Tab

Painful as in burning your ears or any other issues we should be aware of ? We should issue a warning: "Don't play games when you expect a call" or get yourself a personalized voicemail message: Hi, i'm playing games on my phone right now and my battery temp is >50C, there's no way in hell i will reply to any call

argh, i gotten this popup too when i tried to charge my phone. wasn't doing anything with the phone!

@OP Sorry, out of topic question. What is the widget that monitor your cpu speed+ temperature?

Setcpu I believe.

Running siyah kernel with cricklerom
Fantastic

show me your screen on time pls. i can do that with stock battery too with low use. 37% doesnt look like you touched your phone much..

that's pretty bad. I can go as long as 3 days with stock battery

That is indeed easily done with a stock battery and stock Samsung or CM7 rom and with moderate use.

Would help if you actually used your phone, anyone can get double that on standby on a normal battery

Besides, shouldn't this topic been placed in the Accessories sub-forums?

blimey and i thought that was good. Onoly get aboout 24hrs with the stock battery....ok i'll crawl back into my hole....

You don't have to do that but people here are much more interested in how much life you get with heavy (screen on) usage, me included. How much was it, if you dont mind me asking?

im not a heavey user, but with medium useage, 15+ downloads, surfing the net on and off through out the day, emails through out the day, f/b updating and numerous texting and a few calls.....i suppose for my normal use on stock battery i got just over 24hrs use so the extra 300Mah is more than welcome. Plus i can slip the original stock battery in my pocket when i go out just incase i need extra umph. Oh well im happy with it...please move to accessories if i have posted in wrong forum..infact MODS if you want to delete this thread then please be my guest....

OK... realistically though, screen on time is the real indicator, along with usage patterns (were you web browsing, gaming? what games? how bright was the screen etc). Screen on time can be found out by Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display = Time on (just in case you weren't aware).
How much did the battery cost?
Oh... and what theme are you using (I'm liking those icons at the top).

besides the screen on time you should also consider the data volume transfered via radio, that kills my battery even faster than the screen although i'm living in a big city with solid coverage...

There is already a big thread on the OEM 2000mah battery.

Tytungs NexusHD ICS Power Consumption Issues

On a full charge with no wifi, no sync, lowest brightness, no gps etc I'm getting roughly 1 to 2 hours of talk time and maybe a total of 4 to 5 hours battery life with the screen off. I pretty much have to travel everywhere with a charger and its starting to drive me nuts.
Is it worth it to switch to another distro ? Anyone else having this issue ?

Are you on the latest version? I'm using version 2.3 and it lasts more than 24 hours on a single charge.
I guess you have to replace your battery, mate

wow ... 24 hours :-.
Can you post your statistics ?

These numbers are off btw due to the constant charging every few hours.

What kind of drain are you getting in terms of mA? Download current widget and check this. It should be 4 or 5 mA in standby.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using XDA

Do u use any app2sd script? in 2.0 some people got an extremly high battery drain, because of app2sd (~50-70mA on Standby). Maybe try to reflash u're rom without any app2sd and check the drain again.

Sorry for the late reply, guys. I've been busy lately. Well, here is a screenshot of my HD2 after a day of moderate use running TyTung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.3

Hmm looks fine, i think you need to get a new battery?

[Q] Is this normal battery drain?

Ok guys, I keep hearing people ranting and raving about this phone's battery, however I feel that mine is either faulty or everyone else is exaggerating. On a typical day, of normal usage, heavy web browsing, occasional 10 minute game session, I can get about 4 hours screen on time, and about 14 hours total time before it's dead and I need to charge. I have minimal wake-locks now that I've figured the majority of them out, and keep location services on device sensor only. My device is deep sleeping more than being awake, and will last quite a while while asleep, battery doesn't seem to abnormally drain while asleep. Every time I've been able to track it down to a wake-lock issue if it has.
It's draining very fast (it seems) while screen is on though. Wifi calling is almost always on the majority of the time.
Any ideas? Is this way off? Or is this the norm?
I've done the usual factory restores and all that, and still no improvement.
Thanks!
Example:

Are you using a custom kernel? You could try dorimanx's and heavily skew the CPU towards a lighter load
I used to get 4h on screen time for quite a while, but k realised that it was cos of 4G @ and the way I used my phone. If you read a lot and hardly launch or close anything the battery life gets better very quickly

That seems about right.
On stock I get between 4 and 6 hours screen time and about 24 hours on battery. Being on WiFi rather than 3g helps a lot and turning down the screen brightness.

Do you guys have similar averages? (Seen at bottom of image)
