sorry if this is somewhere else, can't search with app.
my phone has been unplugged and used off and on for an hour now and I am at 84%. I've read people say they use their phones for 12 hours without a problem. I have tried 2 different batteries and its the same. by 5pm if I haven't plugged it in, it's dead.
oh good lord. it all depends on your usage pattern.
if you fill your car with gas - how long time car you drive it?
no-one can answer that question.

i used to only make it 6 hours on one battery. but then yesterday we found a new setting which i can now go 12.5 hours yesterday without even trying hard. go to *#*#4636#*#* and change to GSM Auto (PRL), this more than doubled my battery life. and you do not lose 3G, the phone will still use 3G just like normal. try it out.

I don't think I use it out of the norm. I check my phone when it notifies me of messages, come on this xda app and sometimes browse the web.... it's not like I'm streaming music, playing games or anything else a lot.
i too have found my phone dead in the morning when before going to bed was at 65% full. im still wondering the best settings for home and travel before switching to gsm auto prl because i dont want to drop totally dead when going outside 3g tmobile.
i also found my wifi is always on even if sleep. after i figure out this network deal ill do something with the wifi only being on when the phone is screen on and in my home. that will prob save me tons of battery.
I run wifi constantly on, the overnight drop is around 10-15%.
It should last 14 hours if you use 100 Ma of power per hour from a 100 percent charge to 0 percent charge.
I didn't know it was possible, but with IntersectRavens kernel (or whatever his name is lol) I can actually lose 1 percent of battery life in one hour (or close to an hour).
Though without turning my mobile internet off with Juice Defender's APN widget, this wouldn't be much possible. I found this very surprising, I thought people were making false claims about this.

I should edit that post, shouldn't I.. four days would be impressive.
I'm gonna plug an app for this. It's not exactly the best thing out there in terms of an app killer (which from what I understand is a no-no anyway) but there are some nice little features that will really help narrow down some power use issues.
Do a search for SystemPanel and turn on Monitoring. It'll track when you have the phone on a charger, relative battery drain as well as device usage and cpu utilization all in separate histograms over time. History is saved (most likely in a log file) and can display from the last 2 hours to the last week. Without having to dive too deep into system settings you can track this info with just a few button presses.
I found out that using GSM Auto (PRL) and dropping the auto brightness and live wallpaper really did save a bunch as well and I was able to track the difference with the app. I also found out that playing too much Jewels will eat my battery like it was a cake at a weight watchers center.

i dont think anybody knows why or how that works. i'm still confused as to why it would even make a difference, but it DOES seem to help from my testing so far. today i am at 8 hours since unplugged, and still have 57% battery left, which is much better than i used to get. that's on pace for at least a 16-20 hour day which i would be happy if i could make it thru a day like that without having to charge.
Aren't there any explanations from Google about those settings ??
...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%.

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.

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.

At the moment it seems like I'm getting around 5 minutes per percent (around 8 hours of constant use). The weird thing is that seems to be the case across all use, I get the same results from web browsing as I do reading comics in airplane mode.

I get pretty incredible standby though with set cpu. I'll go to work and come back after eight hours or more with one or two percent gone.
Yeah the standby life is amazing

set cpu app helped me get amazing stand by times. i mean i lose 1% every 24 hours propably.
during normal use, i get average 4-6 hours. surfing youtube, downloading, playing games. usually 5 is about right. People who say they get 8-10 hours heavy use are on one.
I would agree with 4-6 hours with constant use such as reading or twitter browsing. I previously had a Nook Color with CM7 on it and got about the same. Standby is amazing I almost never turn it off.
After about an hour of surfing or playing a game I lose about 20% so about 5 hours. But when watching videos I get around 7 or 8 hours

This sounds awesome I just got 48 hrs on included 4--5 hrs of use. Down to 2% ... wifi is set to go off with screen (after 1 min) not. Sure wat else to change
Hmmm. I was hoping that rooting/SetCPU/screen settings could get me closer to 8 hours of life, but that's not the case. I'll probably just sell the Iconia since the battery life is my main reason for owning a tablet, and in this case it isn't that much better than my laptop.
Run time.
52 hrs. %79 & moderate use. Never shut it off & still testing. Want to see how long it can go until I reach %30.
not trying to be an ass, but what are you guys using your tabs for? i run taboonay rom with thor kernel and good to very good battery life. I use my tablet all day long at work for e-mails, pdf viewing, gaming when i shouldn't be, and playing around on the internet. I wake up at 5 am everyday unplug my tab and start the day. With said usage i can go from 6ish AM till almost midnight and still have 20-30 something percent battery left. I wouldn't say i use it hard core, but i put it work. Just charge it while your asleep and it should last all day. Now on the occasion i watch movies on it it does drain the battery like a bastard but i can still get 5-7 hours of non stop movie watching on it. I really can't complain about the iconias battery at all. If you expect this thing to run like Carl Louis all day long without plugging it in you're in lala land. Theres alot of threads on how to get rid of cell usage drain, and look at whats killing your battery it may be an app or something you did settings wise to drain it faster.

Completely agree, I got mine on Saturday and apart from the initial charge it's only been plugged in twice. Used on and off throughout the day on Sunday, most of Monday evening, all Tuesday evening and all Wednesday evening, playing games and on the web with a bit of youtube and playing around. First time charged at 35% on Monday evening, second time yesterday at about 11pm as it was down to 10%. I think that's pretty damn good myself. It's on OTA 3.1 and Rooted
As for comparing to netbooks, have a look at the size of the battery in a Netbook compared to the Iconia. Of course they're going to last similar amounts of time - The Iconia has a smaller battery but has less to power versus the netbooks larger battery with more devices to power.
I'm at 67% after about 27 hours with about 2 hours of actual use. I guess that's ok. I flashed the Minimalist rom on Tuesday so I probably haven't given the battery enough time to break in. Sorry for being a *****, I'm just impatient >.<
I was kind of afraid if it would last me through a day of classes when college starts back, but I think I'll be ok.
I was getting around 5 days total with 1 to 2 hours display usage before the update to 3.1. Now it only goes 2 days when on standby with less than an hour of usage. Going to download SetCPU and try that. I have not changed anything (widgets) since before the update, so I have no idea what's eating up the battery.
Does anyone use there tablet in this post?Lol
I use my tab all-day long and I usually have 20% by the end of the day.

Ok, I activated a couple more profiles including "time", temp, low battery. Low battery definitely turned on and I saw the change in the icon on the bottom right. I think the "screen off" is not turning on - basically can't see it when the screen is really off . But, it's definitely draining the same amount of battery.

SetCPU didn't help mine either. Tried a few different profiles. I thought the one that would help the most is Screen Off, I set it max and min to 216mhz. No difference in battery drain overnight.
With the couple of reviewers stating the battery isn't that great. Let's see if it they're right..my "screen on time" was a little over 5 hours*...
This is mine after a full 100% with auto brightness with moderate to heavy use..

I picked mine up yesterday, got it all setup, and charged over night. I'll be able to report back later this afternoon once it's had some significant uptime. I also have my LG G3 and Moto X 2013 next to me, and I'm trying to keep the usage uniform across all 3 to compare.

This is comparing a Verizon G3 and Turbo, as well as a T-Mobile Moto X 2013. I've always had issues with the wireless keeping the phones awake, so the battery life isn't what most of you would probably see, but it's still a fair comparison.
DROID Turbo:
LG G3:
Moto X 2013:
So basically it's doing better than the G3 and way better than Moto X 2013. I agree with you though I think the poor Wifi reception is causing the phone to be awake more often or spend more battery maintaining signal. I'm at about 5 hours with 1 hr SOT and 80% battery. Seems reasonable but I thought it'd be better.

That's my conclusion as well, I will run these through the night and I'll have a better comparison, then this weekend will be real world use.
It has something to do with our wireless infrastructure at work that causes devices to stay away 90% of the time, at the end of the work day I'll have 6-7 hours of it being away with very little SOT.
I'm surprised that it's only a slight improvement over the G3 though, I was expecting more.
Still trying to get through my first few cycles. So far this morning my phone is at 90% with only 25 minutes of screen on time. I did run google play music on the drive over here. But still, those are rather terrible battery stats, hoping to get through the first few cycles and get better battery life.

You gotta give it more than the first 10% of one cycle to get an accurate representation. Let us know after the battery is down more.
Still gonna let it get lower before charging again. This is with a full charge. I am coming from the G3 and batt life seems way better on this, but can't tell since not even 1 charge cycle

Exactly, it takes few charging cycles for the battery and the phone to calibrate and maximize the battery life.
Alright here's mine.
Bought yesterday, charged to 100% overnight, used all day at work.
Thus far appears much better than my previous phone, an LG G2, but battery life has never been a problem for me.
Did well in phone arena tests though:

SOT isnt the only thing that shows how a battery is good or not. Like I said, I streamed a lot...with my G3, it would have crapped out long before going a full day, and the battery is only about 20% bigger. I got more than that out of the Turbo. Also note, this was the full first cycle. If you dont know already, the battery will get better after a full cycles. So Im loving it. I only have one true gripe and that is the low call volume, but I know that can be fixed through an update, which I hope they do soon.
How are you guys experiencing the battery life? I had 100% at 12 PM now it's 3:23 PM and it's on 64%. I haven't even used the phone that much, 1 hour screen time only. I don't feel like this reflects the size of the battery (3000mah)
I have it on lowest brightness, I always kill the apps right after use and it just keeps draining fast.

Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA mobile app
This is my first day off use after a full charge, I'm pretty happy so far.
I've been unplugged for 7 hours and I'm at 46%.
2.5 hours of screen time
With the screen off:
1.25 hours of phone calls over Bluetooth
1 hour of listing to music over Bluetooth
Connected to my Moto360 the entire time

I got 3 hours and 46 minutes of SOT from 100 to 0, I had 0% brightness most of the time and only had wifi and 4g on, nothing else. This kind of upsets me, those are not good stats at all...
The battery needs a good few days and a few cycles of discharge and charge for it to become most effective. Wait a week before making any conclusive decisions on battery usage.
Bear in mind this is a large hi-res display, so watch your brightness if you want to save battery.
For me battery life has been great. I easily get a full day out of it with around 3 hours SOT and medium usage.

Wow. I'm pretty jealous of you. When i got my LG G4, on my second day, it only lasted for about 8 hours!!! Even though i had Bluetooth off, data off, 3/4G off, location off, battery saver on and brightness on auto. I am so disappointed with my phone as i am having to charge it in the day and sometimes through the night and i've only had it for a month.
Screen on
Can LG G4 screen on over 4h?
I am having great battery life
Good battery life
Getting through a working day easily. It could even last longer if I was more careful about closing the apps and all those usual battery saving tips. I just leave most of the stuff on... Bluetooth, WiFi, Location... Screen brightness is set on auto and it's plenty bright for my use even outdoors. :good:

Did you even look at screen shots posted in this thread? And SOT varies greatly depending on usage. One person may get 4.5 hours, while another only gets 2.5.
A thread to discuss,post your battery life is already available
