...4 hours of heavy usage (wifi connection and 3g on but idle)
Mid to periodical usage could reach 24h.
6th day of usage....
i think this is mediocre for me. please report your battery performance to compare.
Any tips to improve this?
I can get around 8-10 hours with heavy usage... constant music, etc.. and about 2-3 days with light-medium usage.

Hmm so i guess there is a problem with my device.
Great!, and how am i supposed to explain this to the service?
I get about 12 to 15 hours of heavy usage via web, text, and email. If i watch video it's less but I am pretty happy with the battery thus far.

I can only get around 7 hours of use.
I have a problem that if i even dont use it, the battery still drain. I got it full charged and theb unplug it. About 8 hours later, it went down to 50%.
Is there any problem with my device?

same here. i don't know how you guys are getting so much better battery life. i can barely last a day and i don't use it all that much. maybe 2-3 hrs of surfing the web over wifi (not even 3g). i even used setcpu to underclock to 200Mhz when screen is off.
Maybe it has something to do with the very first charge.
When i unboxed the battery was fully charged so i drained it and had it charged for 8 hours. maybe it needed to be charged prior first usage.

Is that 12-15 hours with the screen on? Because that's much more than I'm seeing.
I've done a few measurements just to get an idea of the battery life. They are just extrapolations based on a few hours of runtime for each so they are by no means exact, but my impression is that they give a decent view of real values nonetheless. The battery percentage indicator does not seem to be terribly non-linear.
Video playing (SD quality) with full brightness: 5.5 hours
Video playing (SD quality) with lowest brightness: 9.5 hours
Idle at homescreen with full brightness: 6 hours
Idle at homescreen with half brightness: 9 hours
Idle at homescreen with lowest brightness: 12 hours
Music playing in headphones (screen off): 90 hours
Can't believe how lazy reviewers seem to be, I haven't read a single one where they have properly measured battery life for things like playing movies or reading an ebook. It's all just subjective feelings (which are obviously very unreliable).
All in all I am pretty pleased with the battery life (but I've just had it for a few days). I especially like the fact that it's basically a normal Android phone just with a giant screen and battery. This obviously means that standby and music playing times are going to be excellent.
Edit: Those of you who think you're seeing bad battery life, what does the battery use thingy in settings say? Or is that not a good tool?
I read a post somewhere where the OP was getting horrible battery life and found out that the Gallery app was draining the battery.
The OP in that thread said even exiting the app did not kill it, and it kept draining the battery.
Perhaps you can look into this more. I never use the gallery app so maybe why this is why i get decent battery life?
Edit to add:
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826472&highlight=gallery
If it's this post you're referring to it's by me . The Gallery application shows up under battery use though, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Are you sure it's really as much as 12-15 hours with the screen always on? If it were 9-10 hours with brightness at half it would around what I'm seeing I guess, but 12-15 is quite a lot more. Not that I'm disappointed, but if better is possible better is what I want

No not 12-15 hours with the screen always on.... I get 12-15 total... Screen on for usage, off for a while, back on to email and SMS ect...
Ah ok, then there's no discrepancy .
I got 10 hours from full to complete off. I was using it to watch streaming movies on 3g
for a couple of hours and then watch a movie off of the sd card and an episode of supernatural.
After that its just web and ebook reading. Its pretty good. Almost the same as my ipad.
I got a total of around 14 hrs plus with wifi and edge on, screen brightness at 20%, around 7 hrs of standby while i was asleep at night, with 4 hrs of heavy surfing, youtube etc. . . No calls though, only some sms and always on IM with nimbuzz logged in.
What i am seeing is with heavy usage i.e. Multiple apps running, wifi and edge on, i get anywhere between 5-7 hrs of battery life which i think is fair enough for a device this size which am constantly fiddling with.

Can someone please post,
Using the supplied mains charger, how long does it take to fully re-charge a drained Galaxy Tab?
As it is a large battery what sort of charging times to expect?

I've not used mine for that long, but the Battery Left app(which I found to be quite accurate on my N1) shows that for MY usage, I'll get about 25hrs.
I've got the auto dim turned off, and brightness at max. I mainly use mine for checking emails, txting, and a few games.
Nothing heavy.
I'd recomend the Battery Left app to you guys looking to find out your battery life. You DO have to "train" it though, which requires a 100%-0% run for you.
Guys,
does.anyone know, do we need to cycle the battery to give it the best performance?
Example, charge up the unit, then drain it completely and recharge it again? Like in the old days.
mine hasnt gone down much. I have it unplugged at 6am and at 4pm i still have about 75-80% batt left.
This is with about approx. 2 hrs of talk and 30mins of data usage and voice calls paired to my BT headset. My screen brightness is set to 40%

I once got up to 20 hours of moderate usage. But with heavy usage I get about 12 hours or more. I lose about 7% when watching an episode using flash....kinda sucks but I watch a lot of anime online. But I use this as my main phone too. Its replaced my nexus completely. though it was nice with my nexus cuz I could swap batteries. This is how I condition my battery. I let it get to about 2-5% then I recharge it. I don't let it get to zero cuz I heard you can damage the cell. sometimes I charge it to about 20% then I unplug it and drain it to 5% then back up to full. I just kinda switch it up. At first I was getting horrible battery life but ever since I started conditioning it this way I get great results.

Hey guys im just wondering if my battery is funky... i just got this g2 yesterday and am running off a full charge since 6:43 AM its 9:51 AM now and its at 91% i really havnt used it to terribly much since im in school but it seems that since it dropped from 100-99% at 8:34 AM it seems to be draining quite fast now even when its sleeping... i havnt messed with the settings to much so is there something bloatware or software wise thats making it run out fast or by the times given am i just tripping and my battery life is fine, i just feel like the 3000mAH should be doing alittle better than this..
THANKS in advance!
I can tell you with my Verizon G2 I get awesome battery life other day I was at 16 hours 8am-12am with 2hrs screen on time 35 mins playing games and 2hs 25min of streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. I was at 52% after all that. Don't know if that helps but that is what it is for me. Since got phone it has never dipped below 50% in up to a 18hr day for me.

are you a heavy user?
Tmobile variant
I have the Tmobile G2. I'm a bit concerned about my LG G2 battery. Can others suggest a test that we can both follow so that I can compare my battery life to yours. The phone seems to be alright when idling for 8 hours as I slept it only lost 3%. When it comes to charging it went from 0% to 52% in about an hour, and was at 90% on its way to the 2 hour mark. But when using it just to browse and stuff it seems like its dying a bit fast.
So let me know things like screen brightness, apps to run and what not so we can compare how long our batteries last. That way I can return it before my 14 days are up. Thanks for your help in advance.

i constantly close all my apps and keep my brightness high enough to see but as low as i can to see... right now my batter usage is at 4hrs and 3 mins and im at 85% currently its saying i should still have 22hrs and 47mins but that seems impossible xD
"I have a theory"
So im going to wing this out for the rest of today and let it run down without charging it agian... if it lasts me all day ill post because im having a theory that the way the battery percentages on this phone are different cause of the new technology in the battery cause it seems that certain percantages last FOREVER then others go through rather quickly i think im just used to how my old phones percentages escilated ill repost when it dies or when i go to sleep
I would say I am medium to heavy user I stream music via Bluetooth everyday talk for 30 plus minutes on Bluetooth a day and play music in car hour a day and play games hour plus a day and I leave brightness on auto never on Wi-Fi lte only and I close all apps.
I charged my phone to about 94% went to bed with it at 89%. Woke up with at 86%, 8 hours later. My brightness varied through out the day from 23-60%, currently at 40%. Mainly did browsing and fb for a bit today. For about an hour while browsing the phone was on airplane mode with Wifi on. As of now at 54%, battery usage 16h 2mins, expected time to use +18h 54mins, last 3 hours in use, used 9%.
My battery use details:
Android System 25%
Screen 22%
Android OS 14%
Chrome 8%
Cell standby & idle 6%
I run near max manual brightness, a live wallpaper, GPS, WiFi on all the time, automatically checking email every 10 minutes, lots of phone calls and texts, and I still have 79%. Off charger since before 7a.m. Software says I have 36 hours left. Best battery life I have ever had on any phone, any Rom.

Not a gamer, tmobile usually 3-5 Bars 4g lte. I dont get how it just dies so much off of browsing alot but so efficient when sleeping. My phone is at 11% now after alot of browsing and talking on the phone for an hour. As I type this I've been on a phone call and googling info about battery tests for 45 mins.

i have a verizon version and compared it to my moms 4s battery running iOS7
heres the deal her battery usage is like 3hrs 7mins mine is 6hrs 23mins mines at 2% hers is at 51% we both unplugged the same time so this means im getting the same battery life as a 4s running iOS 7 plus she keeps her data and everything on i turn mine off when not in use... so did i get a defective battery? cause if my battery is the same as a 4s running iOS7 im not gonna be a happy person i know i should get at least 15-16+hrs of battery use and still have like 20-30% left! UGHH and my phone reboots into the verizon logo alot when i unlock it i think i got a horribly manufactured g2... just my luck what do you guys think?
It feels like i have the original droid razr battery life agian Dx my razr m lasted longer!
Unplugged my phone at 98%, went to bed woke up with it at 95%. Then had the screen on for an hour straight just messaging ppl on fb. Now I'm at 87%, that's not normal right? Screen is on auto brightness nothing else going on.
Can anyone confim that this is normal? i have an LG g2 with 3000mah and i loose 1% of battery every MINUTE while playing games, so 10 minutes of modern combat 4 or plats vs zombies is around 10 %, 60-70% brightness, sound half way or headphones. Some people are speaking about "5h of screen time easily" while i get 2-3h ...
My battery seems fine but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not using the standard "fast charge" method to charge it over night. At night I recommend either a Wireless Qi Charge or a "Slow Charge" from a standard USB port or a smaller charger like one from an iPhone (the little cubes with a USB port).
There is a HUGE difference on battery life throughout the day between a Normal Fast Charge and a USB Slow Charge.
I only use Fast Charge when I'm out and about throughout the day but I haven't needed to do that with the G2. On my Galaxy Nexus I could fast charge it to 80% and it would be dead in 3 hours just idling in my pocket.

I usually get around 3.5-4 hours of screen on time before the phone needs a power-up.
So today is one of my heavy usage days. This is how it goes pretty much. Wake up around 6 am get, get on my phone, check notifications, hop on a few social games, get on social media, watch videos from social media, check my favorite website, get on some games, check some more websites, battery gets a little low so I charge up, and while it's charging I get my day started.
That's heavy usage for me and thats what I did all day today so far. Here's some screenshots just prior to me writing this post, tell me what you think.
Now some might think it's bad, but I've been on my phone pretty much non stop.
i'm getting 30-40 min more than the S6 edge ussually 4 hours screen on time, auto brightness, mobile data, wifi, 3 gmail sync, Facebook and messenger...I probably wouldn't get this phone if it wasn't for the quick charge ability.
I am very happy with battery life. I don't game and I don't watch tons of YouTube and I'm connected to a WiFi network most of the day. But this is the best in terms of battery life of any phone i have ever had, including the one plus one. Typically get 8 to 10 hours screen on time but I've gotten as high as 12 before. Auto brightness, location disabled most of the time. Stock, 200+ apps disabled with package disabler pro.

Averaging 5-7 hours on a busy day, everything is turned on except for a few bloat apps which are disabled.
I dont understand how you use you phone for 12 hours in a day..Do you have a job? I will get up at 7am and talk maybe for an hour on my phone and have 3 hrs max screen on time before I end my day at 10 pm with 45% battery left..more or less.
I'm seeing about 7 hours SOT. Auto brightness, nothing disabled, syncs on.
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
Its impossible for 12h SOT.. can you share some screenshoot for sot 12h without charging from 100% until 1%.. i dont belive if no screen shoot..
My device is on battery for 4 hours 37 minutes 51 seconds since last charge.
SOT is 58 minutes 36 seconds.
My battery percentage is 74%.
Is this normal or bad ??
I purchased my phone for yesterday and charged it till full. I never charge for continuous 8 hours.
Is this normal or bad ? Shall i charge it for 8 hours ?
Typical days my battery only lasts about 12-13hours before its sub 10%. Some days it's better but typical office days are rather poor battery life from past android and iOS devices with similar use. Attached are my thumbnails. As you can see I am only getting 2 hours of screen on time. It def appears I have an issue with my Moto 360 using excessive battery and I am not sure why as most things are disabled on the watch and the watch battery is usually north of 75% when I goto bed.
Ever since I reset my phone back to factory resettings (rooting caused my phone to slow down), i've been experiencing some great battery life and smoothness(obviously)
6 hours SOT with 7% left. 1 day and 6+ hours of regular usage, nothing too heavy.
YRAJ23- Thats perfectly normal. It should come out to around 4 hours of SoT. You can charge the phone for 8 or more hours because it knows when to stop charging. You cannot overcharge any modern smartphone.
U should get at least 5hrs sot unless playing games and watching YouTube! Disable Samsung and Google bloats like Google+ and use Greenify app from Oasis Feng on play store to hibernate most of your downloaded apps which cause battery drain. Put your brightness in the 40-60% and if possible ideally in the 25% range indoors!
Ive been debating picking up a note 5 now that is avail in Canada in 64gb and silver but reading through this has me reconsidering.
I get better battery life from both my current devices and without being able to swap batteries 4 to 5hrs SOT is not ideal given my lifestyle/ work schedule

Fairly normal 2.5-3.5 hours on weekdays, bc school WiFi drains battery like ****. On weekends typically average 3.5 on 3G/LTE because reception where I live isn't exactly top notch. At home however, 5-6 hours is pretty much the norm, bc my home WiFi rocks.
I normally get 15-16 hours on battery with 4-5 hours of screen on time. i did a video playing a game and timing it. if you want to check it out here from the video you'll see depending on your settings i could get between 4-6 hours of onscreen time with goat sim running.

Exact same here, yet I see these people with 6, 7 even 8 hours of screen time on one charge. How? Are they sitting there with WiFi and the cell radio turned off, just watching clips and doing offline stuff? I just don't understand how they can manage to pull that many hours out of the battery. I struggle to break past 4 hours. But 8? Freaking double? I'm not buying it.

Battery doesn't drain that much, but I've only tested it for a day so far so I may update this in the future
Manage all apps automatically & smart display
5:48 @ 04% ~ 3.63 minutes to drain 1%
4:08 @ 18% ~ 3.02
2:19 @ 53% ~ 2.96
3:51 @ 29% ~ 3.25
4:29 @ 17% ~ 3.24
Same as above then towards the end of the day switched to 720p & auto manage apps off
5:11 @ 21% ~ 3.93
720p & auto manage apps off
7:14 @ 11% ~ 4.88
I think this is more because of the aggressive ram management when manage all apps is on, and what seems to be a bug with smart display. Restarting apps so many times must drain battery. I will try tomorrow at QHD+ and see the SOT
Also worth noting I do not game, I listen to a lot of music (most of the working day) and stream YouTube to and from work I have over 100 installed apps and 6 messaging apps which I switch to frequently. I have news apps that refresh every hour on data or mobile.
standby drain seems a lot over night about 2x the mah than the OnePlus 6 that I have
Barely need to look for a charger thru out the day
Amazing .
Is yours a Boe or LG screen?
QUOTE=Darkat70;78334851]Amazing .[/QUOTE]
Mine is a BOE screen, 18B02.
Pretty awesome to get that SOT, with 43% battery left. I used my GPS for 30 minutes, watched about 20 minutes of YouTube, 30 minutes of Slotomania game.
On standby I lose about 5% battery in 7 hours or so.
Agreed. I am absolutely loving the battery life on this thing, it insane how much heavy usage 1 Charge cycle can take.
I average around 7-8hours SOT, sometimes 9hours and that's with the screen set to 60% Brightness. Absolutely insane, and it just keeps chugging along.

SOT on LG panel. Truly amazing at more than 6 hours with 40% juice left.
How you get like 8h-9h sot? Usually i have 5.30
i have 3h... how is possible? xD
Hi I get about 6 hours ost is that good.? I have brightness on about 90% and WiFi on at all times I have seen ppl get 7-8 hours ost should I keep manage apps automatically on or turn it off any advice appreciated guys
This bad boy is killing all phones when it comes to battery life..
Here are my stats.
Today was a heavy use day so I only got just over a day of use. I usually get about 2 days before needing to charge. So either one day at 9h SoT or two days at 7h30 SoT, I guess it depends which apps I use too. I try to charge above 5% and stop at 95%.
WQHD+, auto manage apps on, dark theme everywhere I can, never have both wifi and 4G on at the same time and am in Airplane mode during the night to limit battery drain (very effective, I never lose more than 3-5%).
I do a lot of web browsing, a bit of gaming and YouTube, and Facebook/Messenger are probably running in the background and are used a lot.
I rarely have brightness above 50%, except for videos. I mostly stay between 15 and 50%.
System update .153
I noticed that my battery life isn't as good as it was with ly first mate 20 pro that was equipped with an LG display. Since i got my replacement using a BOE screen, battery drains faster. I still manage to get 6/7h of SOT so i'm not complaining but it was better before
BOE screen here, power save mode, 1080p forced resolution gives me 12+ hrs SOT.
Same settings on S7Edge got me 8 hrs...but then again, that battery is 3 years old, therefore around 82% capacity.
Happy camper so far.
The stats i gave were achieved with the exact same settings as i used with the LG equipped one. I used to have 1/2h more of SOT
Battery life is just too good and with the new update 152 makes it even better S

I'm a bit disappointed with the SoT figures I'm getting. I would've expected 5 hours a day with at least 25% battery life left. However I'm roughly getting 4 hours by the time the phone hits Stamina mode.

You should be definitely be getting more.
I usually get 6.5 to 8 hours SOT on my Xperia 1 II. So you should be definitely be getting more than that
This is very strange. I am getting 8-9 hours of screen on time within 1-2 day usage. Try to disable everything you don't use (all the Google data collection and other ****) and see if it helps.

Same.
My Poco F1 with LCD and bigger screen has a better screen on time.
Something is fishy here, I'm using DarkMode and a low background light.
Which Software you guys are using? Mine firmware is: 58.0.A.10.21
I think it has todo with the Vodafone branded software.
58.0.A.12.23
So it is not an old Firmware issues. There must be something hardware related issues.
Does your phone also get warm while using it?
When I browse through Google News (WiFi) it gets noticeable warm.
I am happy with my battery life - fully loaded 2 days ago, now at 28% after 6h30m Screen on time.
Mine get 7.5 hours. Pretty satisfy with this phone.
I'm getting about 6 hours sot from 90% to about 19%. Not as good as I expected.
Edit: above usage with 120hz setting. For mine, the SOT fluctuates. On one of the days, the SOT was only 4hrs. Trying to find out what's taking up the usage.
It would be helpful if you write if you use 60 or 120 hz.
Battery life on 5 II is very good, SOT, 7-8h, aprox.30+hour.. 120Hz

thats crazy screen time, how does your google play services say only used for 25mins?? for me today google play services has been used for 7hrs25mins so far and its only mid afternoon i have no idea why its always on...even though google play services only uses up around 4% battery each day for me it always says used for around 10hrs each day, any tips on how i can get mine down to a respectable 25mins like yours?
Sony phones has some miraclemagic in their batteries, very good results indeed. I tested last two cycles, first with 120hz and another one with 60hz.
120hz: 100-1%, 9h 30min SOT during 41h time period.
60hz: 100-1%< 11h 36min SOT during 48h time period.
Mostly on wifi at home, lot of videos, social media and web surfing.
Power consumption at idle state is the best. I have had 4 mornings in a row with the same battery percent that was last night. 0% consumption during night. Gotta love it.
Very good battery life, with 120Hz enabled.
Do you guys actually use the "Battery saving mode" function? You know that charging the battery to 100% and discharging to 1% slowly kills the battery lifespan? That's why Sony developed this technology, so why not use it? I have set mine to 80% and charge my phone every day so my battery never goes over 80% or below 20%...
