Anyone have any early reports on battery life
A user on Reddit has one and did a first rundown.
7.5 hrs sot on overall 8.5 hrs on a first charge.
Still to be seen how the standby is, but all reports look for it to be better than expected which is good news. Also he doesn't notice any ram issues. First impressions are good.

Damn fine if you ask me. Better than my note 4. I'm surprised as hell. I never believe the improved efficiency and optimization stuff but somethings working.

I personally am not that worried about run time on the battery. My Note 4 has great battery life for me and I would expect the Note5 to be good. Quick charge really makes a big difference and the recent introduction of quick charge external battery packs means that I will not have to really worry that much about battery life. Others may have a different point of view.
One thing that really worries me is the internal battery. I have owned the Note2, 3, and 4. I have had to replace the battery on both the Note2 and Note3 when the original battery failed. I give my old phones to other family members and sooner or later the batteries always start to fail. On the Note3 it took a little over a year and a half. Probably about the same time period on the Note2. If you go to youtube you can watch some videos that show you how to replace the battery on the S6. It looks like a miserable project. Nothing I want to worry about. Finally, I am personally offended by the throw away connotations of a smartphone with an internal battery. With a glass screen protector and a case, these phones can still be like new after a year or so of use. It just seems wrong to build a product that you know is going to fail for as trivial a reason as the battery.

Wow. Great news.
What apps do you have installed/downloaded and which ones did you disable? Do you have all the Spen stuff enabled?
Can you show a screenshot of your apps battery usage?
That's actually amazing, with just a 3000mah battery. See, don't judge by the specs people

That's probably just somebody who watched a movie for 2 hours.
I can watch 10+ hours of movies on my Note 4 with a charge.

No movies here dude. And you don't have to come in here and defend your note 4. Still have one myself. Just trying to show some battery life stats for people that are considering the 5. If that's not you then please move on.

So overall is your impression that the Note 5 has better battery life than your Note 4 ? That would be impressive.

According to the images they posted - They had 8hr 42mins of total battery life
The screen accounted for 24% total battery - Android System 21% etc.. Not sure how screen can be 24% and still be 7hrs of a total 8hr 42 on battery ??
Fantastic if proves to be accurate though.

This kind of results is what you got when you basically just display a black image and do almost nothing.

Just used the phone more. You'll see that the standby time went down as the SOT went up. I'm thinking it'll settle in around 22 standby and 6-7 screen on. Which is better then anything I've had for awhile. I have the note 4 and s6 active right now. And had a s6e. This phone will get me a little more then even the active I think.

Question though, could it be your note 4's battery is old?
If they were both brand new then it would be a fair test.

This is thread is to post the battery life that you are getting on the phone. Please post your screen shots from the power menu. This is not a contest of who can get the longest screen time. It is purely to show what kind of battery life you get and some tips and tricks to get a little more juice.
How do I take a screenshot? Brightness 10 to 30 %. So far 10% mobile, 60% wifi browsing, the rest in standby with mobile off, was waiting for a new sim. 22 hours and 10% battery life left. continuous wifi browsing looks like at least a solid 10 hours judging by the way the graph drops. Very impressed. My htc Sensation dies after 4 hours.

I think battery life is really impressive. I got a little over 10 hours of screen time out of it.
With normal everyday usage I might get throught 2 days without charging or one day with a good reserve.

People who are getting bad battery life probably forgot to charge the phone to 100% before the first boot, which harm significantly the poor battery.

Not true, it doesn't matter at all. Just use it, batteries nowadays are smart batteries and they will calibrate them selves.

Looks pretty good! I was worried about battery life because of the large screen size of the device, but it looks like the large battery has made a suitable buffer for this :]

This is about correct! Have used one hours screen time and have 90% left
Can, t post screen shots this evening but I'll post what I know of my battery life so far:
From a full charge I have had 3 hours 47 minutes of continuous screen time and 61% battery left. I've had quite a lot of network activity installing 144 appps, restoring data, answeing email, and reading here in this forum. I'd also been playing with the camera and watching recorded files. It's looking like I could see close to 10 hours of this sort of use. Considering my normal use for my phone and/or tablet I'll be able to go 2 days on a full charge. With a charger on hand at bedtime I'm not likely to ever run the battery down past 30% (rough estimate).
Color me impressed!
Here is my Note II battery usage. which I posted in another post already
First day
Out of box without charging at all. Used it from around 49% to 3% for around 5 hours+ Screenshot attached.
View attachment 1372082 View attachment 1372083
Second day
The night before charged from 3% to 100% with my Note II power on for around 9 hours. Then unplugged and heavy using from 100% to 10%, it stayed more than 14 hours. I am saying this is pretty good juice. Screenshot attached.

Got up this morning dully charged been on it listening to music and videos through bluetooth everything turned on wifi data sync the lot while browsing forums and internet and other messingand its gone down to 82% left if I did this all day I would get about 10hours continue playback which I will never do at work probly get 2 days time will tell .its looking good

even if it is horrible. These press units aren't being used "normally" or lightly. They are constantly being hammered to get every last thing about it to talk about.
We have kernels and roms to go on. My Galaxy Nexus last 35 hours on a single charge on a stock battery. While some people struggle to get even 10 hours on it.
Wait for the gsm arena battery test results and then compare the hours to other phones to see how it performes

Exactly. my guess is also that it's because of the phone not being in the final software. Otherwise how could the same battery prove that worse compared to ICS lg Optimus? Jelly bean had a much better battery life in general too...
And IMO that is also the reason for the poor performance
Let's hope everything will be alright after the software update

LG Nexus 4 Battery Easily Replaced

The trend toward devices with internal batteries, ones that can’t be replaced, has come at the dismay of many power users who often need to switch to a fresh battery in the middle of the day. The Nexus 4 has a “non-removable” battery like most people expected, but it looks like it might be a lot easier to access than many might assume. You’re probably not going to make a battery swap in the middle of the day, but if you run into an issue with the battery, at least you know it won’t be impossible to replace.
Defective batteries and burn-out are a real concern with modern mobile device batteries, and while it may be fairly rare for something to go wrong, anyone with a smartphone who’s not willing to disassemble the entire device can tell you how frustrating it is to lose a phone to a bad battery. On November 2, a follower of Brian Klug, Senior Editor for Anandtech.com, sent him a tweet about battery replacement for the Nexus 4 on Twitter. Mr. Klug responded:
@aatifsumar there are two torx screws, then some plastic clips, it’s easy
Aatif pushed for a little more information and Mr. Klug responded with a great photo of the battery situation:
@aatifsumar two screws, boomhttp://twitpic.com/b9pbsj
The 2100mAh battery should be fairly capable of handling a day of moderate use, but for the fear of battery failure this is great news. Mr. Krug came through with another photo a little later giving a bigger picture of the situation.

Doesn't really solve anything anyone is talking about here. Being able to replace defective batteries is a separate issue from the phone's poor battery life.
Options:
1. If the info from me is usefull for you then push the "Thanks" button, cause all i want is to help you!
2. If not, read more!
3. Life is too short for other options!

i think they plugged in charger at the red square
surely, it is impossible to reach 16 hour
Yes that's true. The nexus 4 consumes lot of battery life when the wifi is used.
I take all these battery complaints with a grain of salt. First, software was not final. I find it hard to believe it is going to be THAT much different than Optimus G.
Something else -- I had a friend who got a US GS III and had terrible battery life despite doing everything. Exchanged for a new one and battery life was double the first one. Do you think any of these "get it out first" reviewers considered this as a possibility? Heck, most of them didn't even mention that Google told them the OS code was not final.
It is worth noting that LG has had battery issues in the past. Was one of the reasons I didn't get an LG last year.
I'm finding the battery life to be pretty good. Over 36 hours and still going for light use. By light use, I mean I played a couple of videos, made a couple of calls, general internet surfing, lots of drop box syncing and more. Mostly all over Wifi. Also some wifi tethering for an hour or so. I also find that the battery charges quicker than normal too. Hope this helps

This I had my phone use 35% in 6 hours. That with usage.
I takes about 10 hours, the lesson download much battery? when I go to sleep I lose almost 15% of battery. Any solution?: (
Battery life is terrible.
I refuse to do what my friend does:
Turn vibrate off
Turn screen brightness to lowest
Phone is always connected to Edge - unless he's using the Internet - then he switches back to Edge
Syncs his email every 15 minutes (pull not push!!!)
Always 'freeing ram' and exiting apps
His life sucks.
I am the opposite. Full brightness, 4g , push mail for my 4 emails, exchange server (email and calendar) for work and so on.
I manage this by always having a spare battery that I charge with my battery charger dock lol.
Will be doing the same thing once I can get one for my S4
I know, so far it's been below expectations for me too - I ordered a portable energy bank from Amazon this morning, and I guess I'll just carry it around with me from now on.. What a shame - the phone is extremely powerful too..
Install gsam battery monitor and let it monitor your phone and see what is causing wake locks. Also let the battery go through 3-4 battery cycles before you start comparing battery life.
That'd weird. Isn't the 9500 or the 9505?
My battery exceeds my expectations by quite a lot. Best battery I've had on a smartphone so far, and I've had a few.
Where my 920 died, this one still has 50-70% remaning.
Thats with push mail, air view, air gestures, wifi, mobile data, auto brightness, screen rotation, sync, gps and multiwindow on constantly.

I am also curous how many hours does it take for the battery to reach 15% and how much screen on time do you get. Please post a few screenshots!
After a day i have like 30% left. Screen on time is about 2h.

I found my battery life improved when I got rid of a poor quality 32gig media card and used another spare old16gig one.
I also dumped corrupted mp3 files and videos and got new ones.
I think poor sd card quality and bad mp3 files are partially responsible for lower battery life.

So far with battery saving on it seems that nothing changed... Will test it further with daily use. But battery life here, even before using the app was not bad by any means.

Yep. I'm really impressed with this phone s battery life, not too far from the note 2 battery life but not quite there.

Hey Guys,
Firstly i apologize if this has been asked before but here is my question:
Currently i had the chance to use the Galaxy S IV i9500 and after having using it for a month i found that the battery life is pretty good. In my usage of surfing the web, youtube, playing a few games i usually get a day of standby time with around 3-4 hrs of screen on time. Sometimes the charge carries over to the second day.
However the Galaxy S IV is not mine and i am looking to buy the nexus 4. As compared to the S4 i know the major differences are the screens, batteries and cameras. I know the screen has some great colour calibration tweaks which make colors pop and the sharpness is pretty good on nexus 4 screen so i am not worried. The camera is not as good as on the S4 but i can live with that since i can get the job done with my primary camera. However i am mainly concerned about the battery life. I want to know if on my current usage pattern (as mentioned above) will the nexus 4 last me through a day with 3-4 hrs screen on time? Also i have found that using PA ROM with FRANCO kernel doubles the battery life? Is this true and if so how does battery life with the setup compare to stock ROM and kernel?
Once again i appologize if this has already been answered somewhere and thanks to everyone for help.
Cheers
Now I'm using CM10.1 RC5 + franco.kernel r151 and i get 3 hours of screen on using 3g and 5+ hours using WiFi, but it really depends on your usage.

With stock rom u will have very poor battery life. My Galaxy s3 lasted 1hour more screen time than my Nexus. and The Galaxy S4 is even better than GS3.
With Franco + UV u should have some decent Battery Life but not as Good as Galaxy S3 or S4
This should've been posted in the Q&A thread. Anyhow, after all i've heard and read i was pretty surprised by the battery life on the nexus 4 when i actually got it. I get between 4-5h of screen-on on a 1 day uptime. I'm using rooted stock rom and stock kernel. I have autosync for gmail, i use apps like whatsapp..basically the only thing that i have turned off and that i don't use is google now, oh, and i don't play 3d games on my phone. I think you should be able to get 4h screen-on on a charge using stock rom without a problem.

I plan on using PA with FRANCO. you think it could be on par with s4 battery life?as a side note are there any extended battery cases for nexus 4 which can increase battery life?

is it due to a firmware update? as i heard that initially the battery life was not too good with average of 2.5 hrs screen on time!

Ya that's the type of things i read around too, and was expecting horrible results, and actually was quite surprised.
I'm not sure if it's related to me being in a good reception area or something.. One thing i forgot to mention was i don't use facebook , but i really use my nexus 4 for everything else, browsing, gmail, reading xda, i'm a heavy music listener, whatsapp, flipboard, i also take a lot of pictures, especially photospheres..
In comparison, a friend of mine uses facebook, has everything always running, google now etc.. , gps always ON, all apps can access location... He also plays real racing 3 often, and he gets 3-3.5h screen-on on a 15-20h uptime.
One tip i can give you, i use greenify for most of the apps that don't need push services, or that i don't use frequently, and during standby, for example 6h of sleep, i lose 2-3% of battery.

Battery life is horrible during the first week. After that it will become good. Currently I'm getting four hours screen time with 20% charge to spare at night.

If tht is on stock rom it seems to be pretty good? also are you on 3g entire time and what is your main usage? thanks for the info!
I am stock rooted with stock kernel. I get 4-5hrs sot while on cellular data and 5-6hrs on wifi. What each individual gets is gonna be subjective to location while on a cellular network. A weaker signal will eat more battery and may just give you 3-4hrs sot.

I'm on WiFi most of the time. 2G during power cut.( 1.5 hour power failure daily)
Main use is whatsapp, xda, little FB browsing, candy crush, subway surfers. No calling I only text or IM

I am not sure unless someone here has both phones and stock if they can accurately answer your question. Also you are comparing a 2100mah battery N4 to a 2600mah battery in the S4. As a N4 owner I have had to say that after tweaking for a couple months I have found a nice setup giving me 3-4 hrs screen on time. If battery life is most important to you I would go with a phone with a removable battery.

Thnx mate. Appreciated for the help!
if I stick with like casual texting and phone calls, and wifi or 3G, I get really decent battery life 4.5 hours usually, but I use the phone to listen to music and well that just keeps it awake for such a long time meaning i get like 2 hours.
Nexus 4 Stock 4.3
Usage: Email and Hangout over wifi, phone calls and few camera clicks.

So far Day 3 of using the device on a normal workday. (It is officially released in Singapore on 15 August 2015)
Seems pretty well optimised!
No powersaving mode, normal use at the end of a typical workday, some calls, WhatsApp, text messages, games, etc.
Using the Scroll Capture btw.
Thanks for all the screen shots - it's sad that it's only gonna be 3-4hrs of sot. My note 2on stock battery and Cm12.1 gets 6-7 sot.....
Hopefully the note 5 gets better than your initial findings.....
Adidasfreak's numbers translate to about 4 hours SOT before dead... For me that is bare minimum acceptable, as I really like to keep my phone >25% in case I need the reserve.
I'll have to wait and see others results. 4 hours SOT isn't anything to brag about though.

Well here's mine. Much better
Even when you post battery data people still just ignore it. 50% remaining after 10 hours (3:45 SOT), averages of 17.5 hrs with 8.5 hours of SOT) is damn good by any measure.
I don't get all this negativity. OK. Maybe the SD card is real but you can't really dispute that it seems that battery life isn't something to complain about. For a group of technically adept users, I find this amazing. I swear reading all these posts is like reading transcribed rants of spoiled teenagers...
Phone Arena just did a comprehensive benchmark test on the Note 5s battery. Apparently, it really does outperform the Note 4. But by how much in real world usage, that's still debatable. At any rate I am a lot less worried about battery life on the Note 5. And, I got to play with the gold S6 Edge + and the beautiful titanium gray Note 5, today. Not as wowed as I thought I would be regarding feel, but they do look beautiful.

Yeah, I saw his results and was a bit underwhelmed
I think the only way I'll be able to decide is to just pick one up and eat the $35 return fee if it isn't good enough.

This is always my approach. I look at it like a "Try It Before You Buy It" fee that's refunded if you keep it.
Last year I actually added a third line to see if I really wanted to go back to Apple (had an S4) then cancelled the third line within the 14-day window once I convinced myself I wanted it...
...of course that was a failed notion since this POS has been slowly driving me mad ever since. Yes Mr. Jobs, I ONLY want to snooze for 9 minutes. Yes Mr. Jobs, of course I would NEVER want a keyboard that changes case to match what I'm typing. Mr. Jobs! Of course I wouldn't want to have free access to all that memory you graciously allowed me to buy at rediuculous prices as if it was a USB stick... :cyclops:

I really wish battery life was so obvious to compare, but it isnt. We are too smart here to fall for this. Battery life is extremely personal and nearly impossible to compare. "Normal day" usage... that's just funny. The best you can do is to compare consistent benchmark data.
Why don't you use a power bank in case the battery is getting low? The Note 5 battery life is not the best among others, but based on the benchmarks and users' reports, it is acceptable and not terrible.
I've never had a better battery. I hope it stays like this
Getting about the same since Monday evening. It charges freaking fast tho

The Note 5 battery is *brand new* vs almost a year old on the Note 4. Until that is considered, these comparisons are bullsh*t.

I already saw a comparison of a 1 month old Note4 vs a brand new Note5 and it was pretty much the same story.
Unless a 1 month old battery is going to be VASTLY worse than a brand new battery.
Also the Note5 SHOULD use less power than the Note4, they moved from 20nm SoC to 14nm, moved from LPDDR3 to LPDDR4 which runs at lower voltage (and faster), and the new display which is 18-23% brighter while using 20% less power.
So it really is no surprise the Note5 is getting better battery life with a smaller battery.
What about the fact that the Note 4 is running an older version of TouchWiz and an older version if Android as well? Was that considered?

Of course, but since they dont have identical builds we can't really compare it at the moment. But even on the newer OS I really doubt there is anything they can do about the inferior hardware of the Note4. The newer tech in the note5 just uses less power, hence the smaller battery with similar or better battery life than the Note4.

lol why bother trolling with ridiculous hypotheticals? Maybe we should pull out a Note 1 and demand a current version of TouchWiz and Android to make it a device lifespan comparison? Newer devices are built to accommodate advances in hardware as well as software so it's idiotic to demand comparisons like you're proposing. The reality is that once a new device is released the older ones lose priority for software updates and optimizations and you're rarely, if ever, going to get a true apples to apples comparison.
