[Official] battery stats thread

Once we get charged up (and back down), let's see how the battery life in the S4 compares to the quad core.
Please make sure to include your screen on time, as that is the best indicator of light/heavy use.

pleasantly surprised
I can't believe how good the battery has been so far, 84% after 13hours (over night)
I am a light user. still - that is impressive for stock. I never got close to that with my OG Epic on stock which was usually 3% per hour.

1h, 3M Battery down to 76%.
screen on for 38 min, 33% of battery usage.

Heres mine on a first day full charge...

Not too bad for first day with moderate to heavy use!

This is heavy usage. Screen on time of 3.5 hours. Downloading Max Payne and a lot of apps. Downloading and listening to audio on Google chrome. Lots of Pulse usage. Games, YouTube, and 30 minutes of phone calls.
*edit* Bluetooth and wifi on all day long.

More information is better for those of us living vicariously through you guys. Remember to include screen-on time. Thanks!

Here's mine for the first full day. Should my cell idle be taking up that much of the battery?

one thing im NOT noticing here is Allshare Service taking up a high percentage in your guys battery stats...
on mine its been at 7-9% and i dont know why, i have something waking up my phone when the screen is off and it might be that... ive forced stop, but i check later and its active again, ive disabled the service and the Allshare play in the application manager but still comes back on... hmmm i think im gonna have to root and just get rid of that file, or freeze it or something

Question... Does having all the motion settings on effect the battery? Also does having the NFC and sbeam on hurt the battery?

in addition, the eye tracker thingy?

This is only the 2nd cycle. Going to wipe stats after this charge

I'm still waiting for the second cycle to finish I have the motion controls on and the eye thing and I had no drop at all overnight

I wish I could get some stats like that. The screenshots are while I was sleeping and 7% seems like a lot of drain for it just sitting there. Only thing on was wifi. Cell standby time on is always the same as the time on battery, is that normal?
edit: the phone now shows 79% battery left with time on battery of 12h 46m; cell standby the exact same; screen on at 9% with time on of 48m. I'm fully stock and running power save mode.

Here are my stats. I think the battery life isn't too bad so far but we will see.

are the battery stats suppose to reset when you restart the phone? For dinner reason my persist even after a reboot

No, they will carry over until you re-charge or change the battery.
I was going to make a thread like this, but it was already here! Here are my results after my second full charge and regular usage. The results are on par with my fully modified and decked out Epic. Of course, this device has a bigger battery, but it also has a larger screen. Between the hardware and software upgrades, I'm very impressed with the stock battery life. This includes wifi on at all times as well as signal w/data. Some motion features are enabled, nfc is not, and google sync is off (I use stock email). Now how much further can this be improved?? Remember not to be discouraged, Screen On times will vary depending on what the phone is used for. Showing pictures is much less battery intensive than watching YouTube videos.

[Q] update: ABYSMAL BATTERY LIFE - internal storage faulty?

So my phone sometime last for 3 days, normal usage, sometimes it lasts barely a day. That's with same apps, same usage, same patterns.
I charge my phone before going to bed. If I wake up with it still on 100% I know I'm in for a 3 day+ cycle, but sometimes for no apparent reason, I wake up with 75-80%.
Better Battery stats shows the phone was asleep 99% of the time. I'm going crazy over this love/hate relationship with my phone.

That's android. Sometimes apps go rouge.
Posting from my LG G2 while driving an Evo IX.

Under alarms section I see com.android.phone has hundreds, even thousands, depending on uptime, wakeups. What could this mean? My carrier has FD so I have it enabled, is this connected?

I've now started having abysmal battery life. I've flashed kk kdz and started from scratch yesterday. Greenify all apps I can think of, frozen all bloat. Google now is not running, location services off, Google backup turned off, I barely used the phone. I've had great battery life on kk before, it's abysmal the last week. No apparent wakelocks, no rogue apps. I'm literally stumped as to what is happening.

Could be a built hardware issue. I've heard and seen bad battery reports.
Mine isn't as great as everybody elses, but lately I've been running without battery save on full brightness using chrome all day and changing things since root. So that's to be expected.

I'm thinking it's hardware as well. I'm gonna do another charge cycle and see if anything changes. If not, I'm factory reseting again but with no apps installed. If that fails as well, I'm gonna go claim warranty...which will leave me without a phone for a week, at least.

My drain hunting is still going on. What I have found out is the phone works fine when it's factory reseted. After installing apps, everything is still fine. The problem starts happening after my memory starts getting filled. I can't pin-point if it's pictures, videos, music..but I' sure the files themselves are good. Because they are my personal files, not downloaded from shady places.
Pretty much after some time, the drain appears again.
Is there a way to check the internal storage for errors and to possibly fix them?

i reverted back to 4.2.2. KK was draining my battery for the same activity about 2x the speed. it wasn't even a "i think" it's draining more.. it's definitely. revert back to 4.2.2 if batter life is important to you.
i tried both XDAxebb's and micromods's stock and stock debloated.

If I may, you seem to have used 3G for 12 hours over a 58% battery drain. As far as I know that qualifies as great battery life.

[Q] sharp aquos battery

I bought the sharp aquos crystal and really like this, however the battery life is not very good. Are there any tips to increase battery life,

went through all the usual steps
Yeah I've had horrible stand by times and because of that my battery screen on time (sot) has been usually 2.5-3.5 hours. Many people claim 5-6 hours sot. Android system is eating a lot of battery up. Any help would be appreciated.

Greenify from the Play Store helps a lot with battery life; however, without root it will only hibernate user apps. But that's usually enough to keep FB, Twitter, Skype, etc, from running in the background constantly...
Screen on time: that depends on how bright you have your screen, but in about 45% setting and about 4 hours SOT, the wife is getting well over 24 hours on a charge. Your mileage may vary...

H,
I don t know if it can help, but my battery life is great, but , if I plug my phone on my PC and the PC is down (automatic sleep for example), the battery is very very bad...

If having battery problems try Snapdragon Guru from the playstore. It is made to help battery saving on snapdragon processors. Enjoy

Well...

I had the same issue had screen times of between 2-3 hours. What I had to do to get to 4-5 hours screen time was disable "stay on" the qualcomm location extra, and motion turn on and off of the display. There is definitely wake up issues with this phone so just make sure to kill processes that use location especially google apps like maps after using them. I also downloaded juice defender to help manage the data because I live in not the best coverage area and that eats up battery too. Try those settings restart the phone and see if it helps you.

I think the battery life on this phone is ridiculously good. I get 5-6 hours SOT with LTE on. Location on Battery saving. I use no battery "savers" because they don't work. For a comparison my nexus 4 can only muster 3-4 hours SOT on a good day. Not sure what you people are doing with your phones.

You are crazy if you are complaining about battery life. Unless you have a faulty device I don't think there are many 5" screen phones out there that can deliver such great performance.
Still at 24% with modarate use, can easily get 2 days out of it.

My battery consumption is just like that. It's very good!
However, I do use "Lux" from the market , to control screen brightness and tones, depending on time of day.
Far better than Android's built-in light control

I'm getting pretty good life. Greenify was the 1st app I put on here though lol
Sent from my 306SH using XDA Free mobile app

Without any battery app with stock laucher, i get 4-5+ SOT.
When I first get it, only get 2-3 SOT. But It start to be longer once it "settle in".

My battery life got progressivly worse as time went on. Sharp will change it for you if you send it in after printing the shipping labels and info for it (meaning they have to say, "Yes, the battery needs replacing). I don't have time for that! Also, my little square that indicates if phone has been water damaged was touched by my own moist little finger so, they'll say warranty is void. I did find a replacement battery. Anyone have any tips or pointers on replacing it? I've never owned a phone with an internal battery that couldn't be removed and i don't want to mess it up.

Mine has the flashing red LED stating the internal battery isn't being charged. The damn thing isn't even a month old.... It's so much BS. SCREW AQUOS. Asshats...

Crazy wakelocks: please help

I'm noticing some incredibly high kernel wakelocks on my Note 4, which aren't present on my Note 2 (which rules out something on my network causing the problem ).
It's anyone having these? Any idea how the heck I'm suppose to get these lower? Wlan_wake in particular is firing off several dozen wakelocks per second.

get an app called Amplify, aka LiOn Tamer, aka as far as i know dev could be changing the name of the app again as we speak. The regular version is usually good enough, although the donate version takes care of most of the other wakelocks...assuming you are rooted and have xposed installed, if not, good luck.
This app is probably one of the best apps to control wakelocks, the battery life increase is also considerable.
As of now I got 4h34 screen on time in 19h47 of battery life and have 37% left. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't working tomorrow and needed a full charge in the morning I could hit 6.5h of screen on time and an extra 7h battery life before I reach 0%. Stats that are not possible without this app

I've got Amplify, but it's not showing any wakelocks that would be close to those listed (in # of triggers). I am experimenting with a completely isolated wifi AP - so there's no way that devices on my network are pinging my phone. So far, wlan_wake and KeyEvents are still highish ,but there are some strange ones named "Event"followed by a number DASH number... I have no clue what the hell those are

I am using Greenify - are you saying I should disable? These particular wakelocks have only come up in the past few days (maybe after the most recent firmware update) and I've been using Greenify since I got the phone, weeks ago.

dont disable it, just make sure you update the app list on it. I also got a N4 on launch day and the update was there out of the box, i dont have such issues though. I'm pretty sure an app is causing this, just gotta know which one. It could be almost any app, check your per app battery usage and see if an app is draining abnormally your battery.
You haven't mentioned this anywhere, but is this affecting battery life?

Battery drain with light use on S7 Edge... Is this normal?

Hi everybody. I recently purchased a S7 Edge, coming from an OPO. I wanted a top range smartphone and I choose it because of the enthusiastic reviews I had read on the Internet, especially about camera and battery. While I've been very happy about camera, it's absolutely not the same about battery.
The phone doesn't last more than 12-15 hrs of light use (no games, no 'heavy' apps, no Bluetooth, screen brightness at about 30%, most of background backup disabled). This morning, after a full-night charge, it dropped from 100% to 99% just in a minute of Twitter browsing.
I checked in the stats and apparently there is no app draining the battery; yesterday the top energy consumption came from the screen.
In addition, it gets easily warm on the screen and on the back (not hot), and I'd like to know if it is normal. I'm using it without any case, just as I did with my OPO, but the latter has always been cold, even during heavy use.
I'm posting some screenshots about the battery stats in my Settings

Need more than 10 minutes of battery stats to make any judgement. I suggest you post the stats from 100% until ca. 10%, with your normal usage.
It will give a better overview. Other monitoring apps will give much more detail, but start with this.
Are you rooted?

I'm sorry, but I think I'm old enough to recognize scam apps, and GSam is not one of them.

Do use the Samsung and Microsoft app? What country are you in someone from your area might be able to shed light on warranty situation after tripping Knox.
If tripping the Knox flag has no effect on your warranty (like here in NZ). You could look at installing a ROM.
