The image speaks for itself, but I'll add some info. I have a SetCPU profile for screen off that sets it to 245 min and max, and I haven't been using the phone hardly at all the past two days. Wifi has been on the entire time.
Normally, after 8 hours of light use, my phone would be dead with Android System taking up about 40% of the battery, and the three radio entries taking up about 16% each.
I've been using CyanogenMod 6.1.1 since the day it came out, with it's built-in kernel, not Pershoot's. I've done nothing else custom. The only thing that I can correlate with this change in battery life is a new version of SetCPU came out a couple days ago.
Or maybe it's just an unrelated fluke, and tomorrow whatever battery-eating bug exists in the system will rear its ugly head again. I dunno. All I know is I've never seen battery life like this on my G2.

101% yaaaaay I can add

What on earth!?

Screen not even registering as using any?
most of my usage is screen for 60%+ (maybe 2 hrs on)
and 15~18 hours tops!

You still geting great battery life I have the same setup and battery life is average not as good as 6.1

I do not mean to highjack your thread but I have a question. For the cell standby power consumption, what is registered as the amount of time with no signal? I am in a full HSPA+ area and it still tells me that 50% of the time my phone has no signal, how is that possible? Thank you for your responses.

I managed 56 or 59 hours once and the display wasn't on the list either. I mentioned this in another thread but it was generally ridiculed and dismissed

i lose about 50% of battery with hspa on during a 8 hour shift. Of course random facebook and texting is going on.

I noticed an improved battery life with the unofficial Gingerbread builds. Did Google finally get it right?

That has been my experience, though I'm still stuck using the stock HTC sense since I updated to 1.72 before rooting.
Whenever I check battery use, the Display is ALWAYS the highest consumer, by a large margin. I usually see 60-70% Display, and the cell standby, etc are only a few percent. Now I'm really upset I can't root it for the forseeable future.
Did you just not ever touch the phone at all? I mean, the display isn't even listed!!?!?

As I said, I was barely using the phone at all.
Right now I'm at 95% after 10 hours of non-use. I don't remember this ever being possible in the past.
Even when I actively use the phone (at least in the past) Display would never be very high. Android System was always #1 with the radios beneath that, and Display somewhere around 6%, as I recall.
In the time it took me to write this post mostly in Swype, I lost 2% so my crazy battery life seems limited to the screen being off (with the corresponding very low cpu speed). Still, it's never been this good before.

lol the title is hilarious just had to say

I bet the lcd being not used plus wifi instead of 3G is the reason. Plus, I think it's witchery not wizardry, lol! Maybe both... whatever they are both hilarious! Ah, the days of yore!

TIC [Thermal Imaging Camera] about x8 and x10

Hi Dear X8&X10 Users!
First of all. I dont want to change the world, just want to share my experice what i gained during my studies and share these pictures what are not common, (because we use non-common cameras)
I have a chance to make TIC pic about our phone, while charging, and tomarrow i have a new chance to make more pic.
So, me and one of my frined, just decided to make some pic, and explanation.
The x8 and x10 is about 20-30°C in normal condition. But. When you start to charge your phone its starts to heating(you can experience it),from outside to inside as the picture shows it.Its about 40-50°C while charging but it's just a relative degree and need more metering to get the correct value.
Tomorrow i have a new chance to make other pics about our phone. I planned to make some pic about processor, but i think we wont see anything difference from it's enviroment because the armv6 chipset is too small to sense it, and need more sensitive devices to make a good picture what can be evaluated.

​About the pics.
You can see the x8 and x10 when they were started to charge to full charged. The interesting thing is, when you can see the starting of the charge. The battery is starting to heating from outside to inside. My opinion is, that the cells of the battery starts the electricity gaining from the outside. While charging the degree is starting to increase and while its full charged its started to cooling,at 100% it goes back to normal temperature.
While started to charge:
The processe:
THe cooled ones after charging (plugged in but 100%):
​About the screen.
​Its just a normal surface, which behave like everything what we touch. You leave thermal points on it, and nothing more. We checked the temperature of the screen while we set the brightness higher and higher....and.........nothing. Nor temperature increasing.
I hope you enjoy this review, i'm gona continue it tomorrow with CPU test, and standerd temperature after OC.
(I'm a safety engineer, who want to know a lot about the phones safety, and the connection between battery and CPU overheatings)

It's a nice idea, but one problem. My hands are heating the screen & device and when i dont touch it, it goes to normal temperature....the screen doesnt indicate too much heat. the only thing you can see is my fingerprints on my screen But sure, i'll do it, i'm gona back to MiniCM and install some hard game like DeadSpace and NFS

Ok i explain. Our CPU is small, about 20-25 squaremilimeters. So if its indicate some heat it lost between the camera and the CPU, so senseable diference between the 2 temperature will not be shown. But! if i punnish my phone, and take out the battery during the hard gaming, there is a little chance to see some heat-point on the shell!
I'll try my best

Cool! :beer::beer:

Do we REALLY appreciate it. ?

I just thought to myself.
How many people, actually appreciate how awesome this piece of hardware is, that they hold in their hand...... And yet the amount of moaning and whingeing that goes on on the web is ridiculous.
"Who wants an ir blaster in a phone.."
"This screen is a micron less thick..blah blah blah "
We should just sit back, relax and enjoy what we have now......
.....I'm guessing the marketing department wouldnt like that though...........
Don't believe the hype...

Wut is this?
OP, please express yourself coherently.

Ok !

Initially I was trying to ignore the battery life and how long it takes to charge haha..
But you can't deny, it's about the average. But when you consider the screen and how the phone works, you can't expect an extra day's worth out of nowhere..
If this and the S4 are considered the best options for smartphones right now and the S4 really does gets a few more standby hours, I would still go with the HTC One.

I was thinking about this after playing with a friends S4... yeah its a slick device but nothing on the market feels as good as the One.

Cool story bro, tell it again
Posted in this strange thread because I need 10 posts to get into developer section...

out of the many many complaints about our phone you picked to use as examples, you choose two that i've never even heard of. screen thickness & people not wanting the IR blaster?

Whilst typically I can't help but say every argument has 2 sides, and it's foolish to say the HTC One doesn't have any floors, the fact that this device and similar ones exist certainly deserves a moment of appreciation.
I remember when I was 11, and I spent a full week optimizing what at the time was a relatively well maintained machine and removing loads of crap, overclocking my CPU + graphics, disabling literally everything and eventually I had enough space to install the just-released GTA3 on my computer. The installation itself felt like it took around an hour. Even on the lowest graphics settings I managed just to get 15fps and boy did it make my computer run hot!
Now I have a HTC One. Just one of it's cores is capable of 5 times more processing power than my crappy little AMD Duron had. Today I installed GTA3 on it in a matter of minutes and was playing it maximum settings at a frame rate that made it smooth as butter. And to top it all off, I can control every remote controlled device in my house with it AND it fits in my pocket.
On a forum where people are inherently pointing out every little area for improvement to get the best from their devices, I agree with OP that we should all take a minute to sit back and reflect on the awesomeness of the technology we're all in possession of right now.
We're living in the future.
Hoverboards and holodecks can't be that far away now.

Moderator Update.

Is my phone defective (battery)

Bought it almost a week ago and the main reason for switching from iPhone was the battery life was supposed to be jaw dropping.
I'm very disappointed. I have almost no non stock apps (just social media ones) and I'm not impressed. These results are actually some of the better ones. Usually I only get 2.5 hours of screen time.

Apps that are non stock: Facebook, Reddit, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram.
Should I return it? I mean I also run with No location, no bluetooth, and brightness as low as it can go.

If you have given up on the S5 period, sure. If you mean that you think your particular phone is defective, then no. There is no evidence whatever that your phone is defective. The S5 battery life is in fact very good. But like all things it varies because everyone uses their phones differently..
Your figures of 14 hours battery life (2.5 - 3.5 hours screen on) are on the low side for a S5, but hardly abysmal. If you do a bit of tweaking and update some apps or your firmware, I have no doubt that you could almost double that. Battery life is variable, depending on what apps you have installed and how you use your phone. Some apps like Skype or Tunein are notorious battery hogs. As is leaving wifi on when the wifi signal is weak or non existent.
Your post gives an impression of you having unrealistic expectations. Nevertheless, if you are still happy, then return it and get a different phone model. But there is nothing wrong with your handset and trying to exchange it for another S5 won't change anything. It just needs a bit of tweaking. If you play with the settings a bit you should be able to get ~ 20 hours, including 5 - 8 hours of screen time, rather than your current 14 /3. Use that as a benchmark for how you want to proceed.
If you want a better idea if you apps are the issue, then temporarily uninstall all of your third party apps. Then see what difference it makes running only stock apps for one day.

I'm unsure what you want me to tweak.
I have locations turned off, bluetooth turned off, and brightness as low as it can go
In terms of apps installed I only have the following non verizon stock:
Reddit sync
facebook
twitter
instagram
snapchat
Given whats installed and what is already disabled I think this battery life is pretty bad. My gf gets 4+ hours of screen with more apps installed and still 40%+ battery on her S5

It's not rocket science. You're on the lower normal end of battery life, about what one would expect for a heavy user or a phone that has hasn't had much optimization done. If you do a simple search for threads on how to optimize battery life and read for a few minutes, you'd have all of the tools you need to improve your battery life 50 - 100%.
If you're somehow still unhappy, that's on you. We've tried to make constructive suggestions but you seem to expect spoon feeding or magic. The S5 with minimal tweaks has exceptional battery life. If you want to improve your battery life, make the effort to do a bit of reading in existing threads. Or go ahead and exchange your S5 for some other model. And you can gripe about the battery life for that one too.

It's clear there isn't an easy fix otherwise you would just say it.
I never even wanted a different model I was questioning whether my particular s5 is faulty. As my gf keeps location and WiFi on all day with tons of apps and gets almost 2x battery life. She doesn't read anything about tweaks so Im not sure why you keep saying that. In fact I doubt she has ever gone into the battery settings menu to even know what kind of time she is getting.

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've installed GSam Battery, I'll post the results at around 10% (even if I haven't used the phone a lot today). No, it is not rooted. I bought it a week ago!

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.
