Wanted to see how everyones battery was on the G2. I just got mine a few hours ago. Going through the whole "Training Battery" deal. Almost done charging and going to see how it holds up. Coming from the Vibrant I loved the battery on there. Hope all goes will with the G2.
I am getting pretty decent battery life. I have not done the whole discharging/charging deal and I am getting through a whole day of normal usage without much issue.
I'm averaging between 16-17 hrs on my battery with 25-27% left before charging. Yesterday, I had wifi on for 7 hrs while at work, display on for 3+ hrs, and battery was at 17 hrs with 10% left.
Edit: I think wifi consumes less battery as compared to the radio toggling between Edge, 3G, or HSPA+.

It feels a tad bit better than my Nexus One despite being smaller. Gets me through my day with moderate to heavy usage.

I get 8 hours of heavy use. Ive hade enough HTC phones to know whos exagurating when it comes to battery life. Getting 17 hours of heavy use and still having 25% left is unrealistic. I came to work at 9am. Its 3:30 and I'm at 22%. Thats better than either of my G1's and slightly worse than my iPhone.
Again thats with admiteddly heavy usage. With "normal person" usage then yeah. 20 hours...

Exaggerating for you coz you're not experiencing it. But that's how it's been with mine. Why would I exaggerate about it? What would I gain with lying? If I'm lying about it then ultimately I'm lying to myself. But fortunately for me, I'm telling the truth.

Between 14-20 hours of moderate usage to light usage. Heavy usage, when I'm in the mood for tinkering with it a lot, drops down to 9-12. Much better than my Vibrant, that's for sure.

Yeah I get 8 hours with widgets on all seven screens, live wallpapers, heavy text / phone, high brightness, bluetooth music and internet usage. Games and all that other good stuff. I got from 5:00AM till ~2PM before it was 0. Charged it back up, and it's been pretty amazing thus far. Specially considering I got about an hour with my G1 and it's original battery in the months before I bought the G2.
this battery is way better... it works.. it is decent and it gets the job done. What has me quite out and *****in about is this --- i have like 3 wall chargers 9 usb cables car chargers from the whole horde of Dreams I have amassed (collectors item) and was looking forward to being able to charge the G2 up anywhere and everywhere. Now I am left with one little 2 foot long piece of strangly usb..that i have to drag around until i find a source of replacements. why did HTC not make the G2 with the same frigging female/male parts as the G1? its like ruthless capitalization of acessorization. *****es!

All phones during the G1's time except for the iPhone used the mini USB style.
All phones this year and last year middle onwards have switched over the Micro USB that's found on the G2. No good phone this year has Mini USB, AFAIK, all Micro USB, obviously except for the iPhone.
i got about 29 1/2 hours with normal usage on mine before i charged it and still had about 10% left.
I'm going about 14-17 hours before I need a charge. Normal use for me, quite happy =)
fRom Snugs G2 ^.^
17 hours, down to 22%. Pretty impressive coming from the Vibrant.
My battery has improved significantly once I let it die completely and charge til green while off. I did that twice and I'm loving the battery life now. The one thing I would recommend is putting the screen timeout to around 15 seconds. It helps significantly. I keep my twitter and facebook synchronized but I only fetch around every 3 to 4 hours. If I need it sooner than that, all I have to do is open the app.

18 hours, 30%... the vibrant couldn't really do 8 hours for me.
Are all these times/hours your getting for the G2. Is with the HSPA on? I havn't really timed my G2 just got it yesterday but its holding up pretty good so far. I was just thinking turning it to 2G speeds when you don't need H will almost double the battery life. Is there an app or option you can set when your phone is in sleep mode it switches to 2G and turn back on to H+?
- Fly like a G2
I get 18 hours easily with heavy usage.
If I were to have the phone on airplane mode, silent, and no running applications it would probably last a week.

I've had a G1, a Nexus One, and a Charm, and this has great battery life. I keep playing Angry Birds and screwing around on it thatv would kill the Nexus One. I'm beginning to really like this phone.
I haven't really timed it but I kill it half way through the day. Then I charge it and kill it by the time I go to bed. I can't put the damn thing down.
I have noticed that it seems to charge rather quick. Or maybe its just the fact that I am actually getting things done when its charging and don't notice.
I am fine with the battery. I feel that once I get all the tinkering out of my system, I will have battery to spare by the end of the night.

Hi,
I brought my Samsung s4 yesterday and charged it before use it, my question is i used only 1 or 2 h and stand by about 4 h, battery is now 48%.
Is others have same issue?
Is it normal ? draining battery like this ? if not should i send it back?
Please give me some advice .
Regards
Let it completely die 3 times before sending it back imo. It might just be getting poor battery readings
Had mine run GLBenchmark when I was laying down in bed. Found it still on around 7 hours later, the screen still on (after I realized I fell asleep), and was around 10%.
Again, that's with the screen on all 7 hours.
Will try completely draining but battery life is horrible for me also...
I mean I'm at 89% using Power Saver with 11 minutes screen time and only 2.5 hrs off the charger...

Give it a few days and then judge. :good:
Battery life its crap. Where is that big battery life improvement over gs3? All those reviewers must be shot dead! Also sound quality its *******. It looks like we got crappy snapdragon version and 3rd world countries get better octa version. Will send this ***** back.
I'm getting pretty horrible battery life as well. I'm giving it a few days do see if it corrects itself before I worry too much though. So far I have been very disappointed in the S4. Atleast the U.S. version.

Yea generelly it takes about a week for batteries to settle down =] still early days
Yea you really have to let it go for a good week til it gets some battery data & breaks the battery in.
Also the screen drains the battery more than anything you could listen to music for days if you kept the screen off
I remember when I had my old droid x and that thing would run down to 20% streaming pandora for a few hours haha

firstly, im not a swine.
secondly, its actually really beneficial to let your battery die. since android shuts off the phone before it hits absolute 0% you will not ruin the battery. now, on the other hand, if you let the phone die, set the battery on a shelf for a few months, and then try to use it again, that will probably ruin the battery.
ive let my droid 3's battery die hundreds of times and it still gets me through a full day regularly
leaving the phone on the charger at 100% actually potentially hurts battery life. but, this rarely effects battery life by much.
if you store a battery for long term storage, the suggested amount of charge to leave in the battery is 30-40%

From what I've researched putting any unnecessary strain on the battery isn't good for maintaining it long term. Meaning charging it when it hits 15 percent or so, and yes, not leaving it at a high capacity for extended amounts of time

If your battery gets below 3.0 V it's bad. But the phone will shut down when the battery gets below 3.5 V.

yea im not saying to leave the screen on when you're not using it. im just saying let it die during normal usage. maybe even by the next day.
if you somehow manage to wreck the battery in this thing though, the greatest thing is its easily removable lol
so maybe I'm blind, but i didn't see a battery life thread yet. post some shots with screen on time and how much time off charger!
right now mine is pretty terrible since it's less than 24 hours since I got it.. but i do hope it gets better, because it seems my g2 had better battery life right off the bat, but I'm sure this thing just has to settle in after a few charge cycles!!

For me, battery life suddenly doesn't matter as much, when it can charge so fast..
I'm in the same boat as OP. Think a few cycles will show how great this battery really is.
Same here. I'm on day 2, so I'm hoping it does improve.
battery life is pretty decent for me. Power using gets me through a day link to my moto 360 via bluetooth and on wifi about 50% of the time.
I've been listening to Poweramp since eight this morning. A little surfing, and I'm at 73%. I expect it might be a bit better once the battery has gone through a couple of charge cycles.
One thing I learned, was download booster is a huge battery hog! If you turn it on, it'll take days to charge to 100%.
I know the note is doing better than my old s3 though, because doing my same run using both my tracks and S health, rocket player, and taking panorama pics, I still used 10% less battery than my s3 did only running my tracks and rocket player.
Me trying to drain it. Amazing in my opinion
How do you post pics. I'm using the tapatalk app and it says my screenshot filesize is too large

yeah, but i disabled fast charging because i thought i read somewhere that using fast charge could degrade the life of the battery over time..yea yea i know, batteries are cheap, but still. idk. plus you always have to have the samsung fast charger with you, which i obviously don't do. but "slow" charging still charges fast enough for me lol
either way the battery is pretty bad for me on day 2. i've disabled A LOT of bloat though, so who knows. wish we had root; i'd use greenify like i used to on the G2...

i had same thing and i noticed that i had several email accounts setup, but when i go to each inbox, they were empty and the device was constantly trying to sync, but nothing would push both ways, and therefore after a few hours phone got real hot. battery was draining like 10 percent every 15 mins.
after some testing, i found out that if you go into email advanced options, disable group as email conversatinos, and that fixed all my stuff, battery is great
Eh, I don't even have other emails setup besides my Gmail app...

First cycle results not too bad if you ask me. Fully charged it yesterday when I got it and took it off the charger when charging was complete been off the charger ever since... I've been trying to kill it by playing games Web browsing YouTube phone calls and it still going strong...
Almost 12 hours or moderate use and the battery usage was 90%. To me coming from the Note 2 this is not an improvement. Anyone coming from a Note3 with any other thoughts.
This is my results coming from a 100% battery charge.
idk how the hell you guys are getting like 5 hour screen on time. how quick do you drop from 100 to 99 after you unplug from charger? mines pretty quick. it's annoying. the g2 would stick on 100 percent for 20 minutes of screen on time and an hour off charger. this phone is at 90 by then. ridiculous. maybe I'm just spoiled by the g2s amazing battery life.
right now I'm at 12 percent left, with 14 hours 45 minute off charger and 3 hour 26 minutes screen on time. android system is my humber one battery user.. not even screen. the hell?

I say give it a few more days in order to better judge the battery. For the G3, the first few days had terrible battery life. The battery would last less than 20hrs and about 3hrs screen time. I was getting ready to dump it, but soon the battery life picked up. Now I always get over 24hrs with at least 4.5hrs screen time. Obviously two different devices from different manufacturers, but the point is to not be quick to judge it. My Note 4 will probably be arriving early next week.

yeah i hear you. if i recall, my g2 wasn't great at start either... but i cant really remember. anyway here was my final stats for today. it's on the charger now for a bit before bed.
my android system is higher than the screen on which is weird... never had that before on a phone.

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S5, and I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to the S7 Edge...however the fact that I can't change my battery is one of the problems I'm afraid of. I'm a hardcore gamer, and after 2 years, my battery for the S5 was dying quickly, so I had to change it. I started using the phone almost all day to play Marvel Future Fight towards the past 6 months and that is what really messed up my battery I think. So I'm wondering if I upgrade...if the phone will last 2 or so years? Cause I ain't got the money to be upgrading every 6 months or every year lol.
What are your thoughts?
Even tho it doesn't has a removable battery like your s5, you can still have the battery replaced by Samsung. Downside is that you can't carry an extra battery with you in case you run out of battery during the day.
So I came from the LG V10 with free extra battery promo. I went through 2-3 full charges a day. I've been on this battery since 8am today. It's 5:49pm and I'm at 54%!
Oops sorry... Just realized you're more worried about the battery's ability to hold charge down the road.
Haven't owned a phone more than 6 months so I'm not sure lol. You could always get one of the charging cases later on when prices drop.

Lol yeah the battery lasting long sounds amazing, but after 6 months of gaming every day, I'm sure it will take a toll The charging cases sound like a pretty good idea though.
It does costs more than getting an extra battery for your s5, but you won't have to pay for a new phone every 1-2 years. Nowadays most phones have non-removable batteries, except for the Lg G5, but it has a 2800 mAh battery when the s7 edge has a 3600 mAh.
it's not an issue in the sense that no one keeps a phone 4 years nowadays. For instance, using a QC 2.0 adaptor shortens the battery life, however over 1 or 2 years, it is barely noticeable. It is noticeable only if you keep your phone for years and years. But most people change every year.
These batteries are good, they're not super cheap, so it will be ok. Samsung replaces the battery only if it's really defective, not if you lost like 5-10% of the battery charge.
I have two bloated S5 batteries first lasted 18 months and second lasted 6 months which was last week. I was a very heavy user and my phones over heat. My old HTC EVO had to be in the freezer a lot and had 5-6 batteries. But I believe a with normal use the battery should last 24 months. I have been thinking of putting phone on discharge timer to plug in and unplug.

They will replace just the battery, for the s7/s7 edge they use heat to open the back cover and they replace the battery. On the s6 they also had to remove the screen in order to get access to the battery (you can watch videos of how they do it).
From a quick search online, it costs $45 + shipping to replace the battery on the s6 in the US, I could be wrong as I have no personal experience.
I know we're talking about different device's but my z ultra (heavily used) and Z3CT both still rock battery like the day I bought them. Hence why I'm not worried to much. Don't let it put you off a device also you could always change battery after a while just a little bit harder to do lol.

My previous phone was the S5 and I wasn't to happy about going to a phone that doesn't have a removable battery seeing as all my phones had a removable battery. That is one reason why I went with the S7 Edge so I wouldn't have to worry about the battery as much.
With my S5 and before that my S3 I would just keep the phone plugged up if I was playing a game that used a lot of battery.

Nice, I just hope the S7 is the same way lol. Sure, we can always change the battery after awhile and it'll be harder to do, but it'll be more expensive than just buying a battery outright like someone said earlier in this post But...it'll be worth it lol.

All depends... For me a full charge will go all day with about 3 hours SOT, but it varies a lot depending on WiFi access, traveling, signal strength, etc. TBH, I carry a charger and cable and tend to top off mid-afternoon of possible.
My only complaint with this device is battery life, but it's still better than my Nexus 4 was no matter how you look at it... But compared to my Moto G3 it's terrible. Is the battery life bad? I don't think so, but I would not call it good either.
Battery sux like on every snapdragon 808/810 device. Those procrssors are the most ****ed up things in mobile history.
U will get average/max 3h sot of normal usage and thats it, like on every other phone with this cpu. To compare, on xperia z2 I was getting 5h30min sot on average with the same usage.
At least battery is charging really fast, but only with original charger. With every regular charger under 1A it will be still discharging while using.
If u have money just buy something with snap820.

It's no secret the battery life is not good with this device, but isn't because of the CPU. ~85% of the battery is used by the display in the Style/Pure because the 5.7" LED display is horrible on battery, its beautiful to look at but the battery consumption is ridiculous. The CPU is actually a minor draw of power in the device, if this phone was identical except with an energy efficient AMOLED display, getting 5-6 hours of SOT would be simple. The idle draw on this device is less than 3% per hour and if doze kicks in its under 1% per hour.
I have lg g flex 2 with 1080p oled display runing on snap810 and the story about battery is the same. Ofcourse oled display in moto x would help a little, but its not a display, its a cpu draining so much battery.

No complaints here. I'm stock, rooted, and xposed using greenify.
Im not complaining too, I just get used to it, battery sux on every 2015 flagship comapre to 2014 and 2016 flagships.

I've been using the phone for the last 6 months and I'm going to change it ONLY because of the poor battery life. A 5,7" QHD LED display + SD 808 + Moto Display and a relatively small 3000 mah battery isn't a good pack if the goal is to give a decent battery life.
Ironically Lenovo somehow managed to make a SD 820 based device (Moto z) that also has a bad battery life using a small battery. If was enough do do a new X Style with amoled, SD 820 and a 3500 mah battery, but apparently it is too difficult for them.
I had my first Pure for almost a year before I had to do an RMA due to some hardware issues. When I got the replacement a couple months ago, it really highlighted how much the battery in the original had deteriorated over 10-11 months.
Granted, some of the decline was probably due to software reasons, cache building up, more apps installed, etc. But man, the move towards unibody designs and sealed batteries by Android OEMs a few years ago is one of the worst things to happen in the mobile industry. Even if you only keep your device for a year, battery life drops precipitously over that time -- nevermind, god forbid, two or three years.
I'm fairly content with the battery life on my new MXPE for now. It's not stellar for the size of the phone, but in absolute terms, it's decent enough.

Honestly, the battery probably deteriorates the most due to Quick Charge 2.0, it is much tougher on batteries than Quick Charge 3.0, and I probably charge mine 80% of the time with a standard charger and the rest with a quick charger... I highly recommend using a standard charger whenever possible. This is not device specific, a lot of QC2.0 devices suffer from quick battery failure, not just quick charging.
I've never heard so much bs, I get on average 5h sot which for a 3000mah battery is below average, it's the high res screen that's draining, like someone said before if it was an amoled screen I'd be looking at 6-7h sot but turbo charging helps a lot oh and doesn't deteriorate the battery at all, lmfao keep using your standard charger but also wrap tin foil round your head.

I agree 100% with this! I wish I had started using the regular charger sooner. Now I have a Z Force also and while it doesn't have the form factor and front speakers of the MXPE, it's superior otherwise.
I get around two days with 3,5-4h sot or one day with ~4,5h of sot. Imo it's not that bad for such a big phone.
Thanks for all the responses everyone. I'm getting one for 200 bucks as a temp phone for a while
