Juice defender (not beta) i downloaded that anf with heavy use i got 14 hours

Or get task killer from market. The one with widget, every now and then, just hit widget to kill unwanted apps running.

I'm sure he does! I do this all the time and my battery life is very good! I've had some pretty nasty experience with programs left running so killing tasks I don't use now is GOOD Idea! I really don't care what people say about task killers being bad! It serves me well!

What is considered 'bad' battery life? I can go 48 hours without a charge. Granted I don't play a lot of games, but the battery seems good to me.
My iPhone 3G has half the battery life of my SGS.

That's decent, bad battery life depends on how heavy a user you are.

My battery wont last a whole day what drains my battery is Angry birds I was hoping for more...

Lot of users dont understand that the battery gauge and other measures of the battery are like your cars fuel gauge not that accurate .
Some are whinnying that the battery drops one whole percent when the charger is removed .
In what way does the battery drop hours days ?? Mine still rock solid near full charge .

[Q] battery callibration

I installed Batery Callibration in my Galaxy Note .. Love this app...... Increase so much my life battery
One question: How often I Calibrate My Battery??

1. After flash or update ROM.
2. When replace or pull out & put in battery for whatever reasons.
3. I do calibration about once a week.
I always drain battery till it is 1% before plug in charger after hit the calibration button.
Battery time is acceptable to me...15+ hrs with normal use (stock ICS rooted).

Thank you very much for the tips. I Have Rocket Room V07 and Speedmod kernel 3.3. With 3g and Wifi turn on all day, my battery last 24 hs.....Very good for me

which battery calibration app?

A question for both of you and anyone else who's using such a tool: which battery calibration app do you use? Any views on how good (or not) these apps are?
Cheers

I use battery monitor widget pro, very effective and good widget also.

Never. That app does NOTHING. You have fallen victim to the placebo effect.
Wiping battery stats does NOTHING on any Android device other than change the behavior of Settings->Battery. It does nothing with regards to fuel gauge calibration.
The fuel gauge chipset in our device does not require calibration and calibration techniques cannot be applied to it. (With one exception - resetting it after a reboot on low battery can have a temporary positive effect - but you can just wait a few hours for it to converge.)

As stated above - they are 100% useless and worthless on our device and any other Samsung Galaxy S1/S2 family device.

To enthropy512, thank you very much for your hardwork for us here in xda. How about a tread that says, after a battery full, you take out the battery for 3 mins then put it back again.

Battery Calibration, try following the procedure stated therein and verify by yourself if it works.
At least you have nothing to lose but very poor battery performance.
You guys should have ever heard of an alternative battery product named MUGEN that selling original and extra sized batteries world wide including range of Galaxy batteries. They also supply a battery calibration app on Play Store regardless phone models but it's for rooted phone only. If this app does nothing they wouldn't bother wasting their time developing it.
Another thing is to investigate what apps or services prevent your phone from going into deep sleep, also try freezing apps or services you aren't using.
Those are my tricks for having battery performance improved.

Hi can i have the link for the calibration app ???

Search battery calibration on google play...its free

Your phone had to be root to use battery calibration

i dont trust any battery callibration app or battery power saving app
i only used cpu spy and betterbatterystats
my point is check ur device, does it goes to deepsleep everytime screen turned off. if it doesnt check using bbs what apps making ur device turned on/wake ur device. im very satisfied with this method. 1x full charge for 24 hr for my daily use and only 24 % battery drained for 24 hr if u didnt use ur device at all(standby)

Is my battery damaged?

is my battery damaged ? I have tried many ROMs and on all of them I'm having a very bad battery life. I have everything turned off and my brightness is 0% and the battery drains super fast. what should I do ?

1. Do factory reset
2. Exchange the phone if option 1 doesn't work...good working G2s don't perform like your phone is @ the moment

What's the problem with that exactly? (Most issues with battery life are user problems - usually a poor wipe / flash regime and using poor quality apps and heavy syncing. I assume you have used the usual wakelock detection procedures).

Por signal will drain your battery.
Mostly apps are draining it post a screanshots of your battery stats.
Install gsam to see what's draining..

What do you define as "very bad", and how do you actually use your phone?
We can't guess to help you.

Yes, that's a big one on ma d802. If i'm in a room with bad connection, the battery goes down much faster then usual.

I would try to reset everything to factory, see how it goes then. If not, flash custom rom/kernel, tweak cpu and search for wakelocks. If the problem is still present, get a new battery.

1% / 3mins sounds like 5 hours on battery to me. Reasonable, but not great.
Depends if you have your screen on during that time or not, and what brightness, and what tasks it is doing. If that is screen off at all, then it's horrible. If full brightness screen-on for the whole time, then it's ok.

Yep. If you go to Battery, is your phone intensivly active while screen is off?
My Battery atm: 1d 3h 14m with 53m screen on time at 87%, but pretty much all day on wlan.

If your phone is the international version, you have the option to buy a new battery And swap it out. I would try this since batteries are pretty cheap at the moment.
If it still drains after all these things only then do I recommend you return the phone for a new one

Culd be som app running that is draining it.
Install a battery monitor. Like gsam then u can see what's drainimg the battery.

Try delete google+. Giving a lot wakelocks. If u are rooted install wakelock detector and let it run 2 or 3 hours and see if its under 20%

I would suggest to stop draining processes first. If stopping it doesn't cause any problems i would rather freeze than delet it.
But if it's caused by a ****ty app you downloaded, delete it right away.

if none works, get warranty

Note 3 battery problem

Hello guys.
I have Note 3 N905 on stock rom , my battery is good but i don't know why my phone draining battery fast if i use it and when i use my phone and charge it's keep getting low .
You can say i can use my phone for around 2 or 3 hours without charging .
Is there a solution for this problem like a rom or something else.

Is the phone running a stock ROM? Is it an OEM Samsung battery? How old is it?

I have stock rom and original battery but i don't know how old the battery because it's not my phone before.

Change the battery first .
Search your question posted multiple times .

Also, check your battery usage stats and what apps are taking the most battery. If there's something that is draining more battery than the screen, then that app may be the culprit of draining your battery fast

Poor Battery Management!!!

I am using this phone from Last 1 week and one thing I've noticed that battery management is very poor. it keeps decreasing without no usage even when the phone sitting on the table. the phone has 4000Mah of battery but there is battery usage tab in the settings like stock android to track down what is consuming more battery. The battery is not even lasting a full day.
I think its better if someone makes or port a Stock Android-based ROM for Samsung A51 or get the solution for Poor battery management.

I think you can check battery management in Setting > Device Care > Battery.
I agree with you that the battery is poor. I cant use the phone in 1 day without charging.

Thanks for the update, let me track down the background apps for 24 hours, let see if I can help to minimize the battery drainage. BCS its the first time when I am using a Samsung phone. I usually like to use phones with stock android & never faced this issue before regarding the battery

Hello !
You said that u can use u're phone 3 days and that's because of the firmware.. Can you give me more information about that please ?
I got recently this phone but the 4000mah is drained too fast, I optimize a lot of thing and got the minimal app in background or fonction like sync. The proof is that One UI is the app that drain the most of my battery.
Finally i think that is because of the screen..
But do you have an solution with a firmware or root for the autonomy of this phone ?
Sorry for my english and thanks for you're answer !
