there are alot of mixed opinions on how to properly train a brand new battery, I'm talking right out the box 5 mins ago. Some are saying let the new battery drain and then start the charging/discharging and some are saying charge it right out of the box.
Anybody have a definite answer that has worked for them? Battery life has been an issue for me in the past and i wanna get this one right. thanks guys!
I charge it right out the box then do a full discharge and charge it back up again.
I think I'm a moderate / heavy user and I still get quite good battery life. Averaging around 20 hours before I need to charge.

It's Lithium Ion. You don't need to train it.
Android however needs to figure out how long it can run before the battery is dead. Charge it til it's full and run it down. Do that a few times and the OS should get a pretty good idea on where the battery is sitting.

yeah sorry for not being more clear, this is what I meant. not training the battery itself but the system so the battery stats are more precise
Wasn't there a special HTC-approved charging strategy that supposedly improves battery life dramatically? Was that ever debunked as BS?

you are not a heavy user then. I got about 12 hours with 2G only selected for most of the day. switched to HSPA. hspa+ 8megs killlllz my battery. I went from 70% to about 30 within a few hours just sitting in HSPA+ area and browsing and checking emails and facebooking. at about 12:30 that night i was at about 15%

You need to delete batterystats.bin from system if you get inaccurate readings. And yes, lithium ion batteries need no training. That was the older type nickel-whatever...

So, you're basically saying we need to train the OS, not the battery, am I right?
I always gave the battery a full charge and then let it go down to 0 and finally power down before re-charging. After doing that a few times I just did whatever as far as charging goes.
I also used to charge a lot here and there through out the day. I know only charge when it's low and I know I am doing a full charge. Not sure if it makes a difference with battery health, but I feel like I notice a difference.

Lithium Ion batteries should not have complete discharge cycles. Keep it above 40% when you can. Charge it regularly.
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
well I did the Evo trick and... i'm at 12 hours off the charge and 34%... that's with web browsing, texting, gtalk, phone calls, etc.
I think the GSM Auto (PRL) has helped a bit as my "time without a signal" went from 44% to 0%.
There are too many different answers from discharge at half, charge to full then discharge, and not let it discharge below 40%.
I think we should all test and log the different techniques.
So far
44 hours with light use
21 hours with normal use
15 hours with heavy use
and what I did was discharge at half and fully charge, also I dont let it shut down by itself and turn it off at 1 %.

This has helped improve my battery life significantly.
I have also noticed my signal is more stable.

You can read all about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670999
Okay, I read the post and did the evo trick, from my understand it stops your phone from constantly looking for a network.
while I made the changes, am I suppose to have "use only 2G network" check or unchecked? Also my connection changes from E to H all the time with this trick, is that suppose to happen because from my understanding it should stop it from switching networks?
I just tried the GSM Auto (PRL) evo trick.. now to wait and see if this helps at all..
Whoops, I didn't mean to imply that the evo trick was the GSM Auto (PRL) setting... I was talking about this:
To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.

Hi Every One I dont know from were i will start Ok
I have a Problem of battery its drain soo much even i dont use the mobile Much and its drain so much.
BaseBand is XXJPY
Rom is Unlimited Rom
Please help me what should i do
1. you should use the search function, there are quite good threads concerning battery life
2. you could post in the general or, even better, the Q&A section.
3. you should post your stats, just saying the battery does not last long enough is a bit vague, if you're used to a old nokia anything under 10 days will seem short
4. when did you flash the last time? the battery meter needs some time to be accurate again. to speed up the process let the battery drain under 10% and then charge fully. after 2-3 days you should get accurate results.
5. you can check the battery statistics in the settings an see what drains much energy (besides the display^^), if it's any single app you might wanna look for an alternative. You can also think about apps you have installed that need the internet for updates/communication. such as skype and facebook. Especially skype has not the best reputation.
6. what kernel are you on and has it tweaks (speedmod f.e. access able in recovery) you could enable?
7. Check what modem version you have ("baseband" in the settings -> about phone) and whether it's compatible with your region. a thread with information on that is linked in my signature.
8. To tweak even more you can try apps such as Tasker or juicedefender
Hmmm OK^^
First of all i used Darky rom wth frimware XWJS5 and Kernel (stock+Voodoo-Froyo-GT-I9000-XWJS5)
And now i install Same Firmware its (FROYO.XWJS5 Build Number) And i install Unlimited Rom 8.0
I see in Battery use the (Display take 60%)-(Cell standby take 18% Wifi take 15%)
Baseband version is I9000XXJPY
I install that Rom yesterday and i put in Charge When the battery in 4%
And Still i didnt install any Software like facebook or skype
If we say that we want like nokia Then its just sound like Nice joke But dosent work at all.
Here is only problem that i wont take much longer even i dont use jst power Off
well and how much time has passed since you charged and on what % are you now?
I guess the battery life will get better in a few days by it self as mentioned above
I Charge the mobile in evening at 3 when the mobile clos it self
So now the battery life is 85%

So you charge every day at 3PM at which point you have 85% left? Or you lose 85% over 20h? The later would be a bit much
Unless you watch lots of videos/play a lot on your phone. to make it easier:
a consumption of under 2% per hour on standby (screen off, just laying around) is normal. For reference values look here
now its 82% wthout doing anything

No offense taken.
Its just for a quite a long time now it was known to just about everyone that smartphones are very battery hungry and it is good to get a full day from one charge.
And yet we see still such post about battery. Kind of pisses me off.
Well in the case of osasih we have 85% at 05:25 and 82% at 05:59 which makes 3% in 34 minutes. That equals to 5.3% per hour, so that the phone should last almost 20 hours - that's fine.
However, in my case I see a drain of almost 9% per hour which is far too much IMHO. I logged yesterday when I left work charging until 65%. Whith 9% per hour it should have lasted until midnight, but suddenly it dropped from 33% to 2% in only one hour!

I'm going to assume that you read my post on the first site^^
try rebooting the phone and look whether the problem persists. I know it sounds stupid but I think there's a bug somewhere that eats battery after flashing or randomly after boots. I only experienced signs of it after flashing since I don't really shut down my phone on any other occasions

Can someone please help me with my battery life? My phone drained 15% in 10 hours with barely 30 minutes of actual use.
TMobile Galaxy S8
Nothing disabled except Lookout.
Screen resolution on highest
Auto brightness
Accounts: 2 GMails, 1 Yahoo, 1 IMAP, 1 Samsung
NFC/Bluetooth off (for these 10 hours)
WiFi/data on
Scanning for nearby devices off
WiFi on sleep off (similar results with it on)
Here is my battery info, from settings and GSAM:
imgur.com/a/apn1f/layout/grid
Drained 15% In 10hrs so you have 85% left and you think it's bad???how much do you think it's a normal drain for say an hour idle?because in your case it drained 1.5% with 30mn sot. I think you can tweak to drain something like 0.5% per hour

Maybe he means the battery went at 15 % and lost 85%
Turn Auto Brightness off. I've found that to help. With the phone brightness set to 50%, I've found it to be brighter @ that same setting than my old Note 4. At least it seems that way, and it's plenty bright. Love this screen!.
Here's my battery life and usage for 2 days.
It's great.
I'm guessing he meant 15% left in 10 hours. With only 30 minutes of use which would be terrible. My advice would do a factory reset and try again.

Here is my sister's phone, she has Lookout enabled, AoD on, NFC on, and two email accounts syncing. She charges overnight and starts the day with 100%:

If you can't/dont want to see the picture, she used 57% in 11hr30m. 43% left and 3hr49m SoT.
My phone right now (haven't charged since picture in the original post)
46% remaining (used 54% in 21hr57m)
21hr57m on battery
2hr19m SoT
I believe I was on mobile data longer (she was mainly using WiFi today), but I feel like these are two completely different phones in terms of battery life. Is there seriously nothing wrong with my battery life?
Didn't you post this on Reddit and get the same responses?

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy A30's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
On a 3g network, it drained around 12% last night during a standby of 6 hours.
That's Too Much..

That was with the "Always On Display" turned on. It got a lesser drain with it turned off. Now I've completely abandoned AOD to get better stand by time throughout the day and the night.

There was an abnormal battery drainage at first but an update fixed that abnormal draining issue
Yes you can get 8hrs OST on a single charge but make sure you disable AOD, reduce the screen brightness and using mobile data consumes more battery than when on wifi so consider that

How is that draining very fast? 1% every 4 min it gives you 6.6 SOT. That isn't bad.
