THANK [email protected]#@#@!!!!!
very nice
Record until now SOT 4H23
From 100% to 10%
About 25 minutes of Gaming and in that 15min of Asphalt 8 (Asphalt 8 is taking enormous amount of battery)
1h15 MP3 playing on bluetooth.
Then use browser and chatting, installing apps thought playstore.
Stock Rom.
It seems i cannot post links so i have to found a workaround
4GB/32GB storage model here, all stock, no root or anything, best SOT time i got is 4hrs 26mins. Sometimes if i use 3g/4g data i cant even reach 3hrs.
Great phone but this battery drain is way too massive. Pretty much putting a dent in what is a great phone experiance value/performance wise.

just upload on Picasa get the link and Post here, but if you delete pic there then it will not here,
So tapatalk won't let me link to photos that I uploaded to their servers because I have less than 10 post.
I managed to get 5 hours and 18 min sot with the phone lasting about 14.5 hours before hitting %5 battery. The screen had used %9 battery according to my battery stats, and android had used nearly %50.
CM 12.1 and DeathlyKernal
Yankactive governor/sioplus io scheduler
Max CPU freq 2333/min 500
I played some fallout shelter for maybe 30 min, and other than that, I just read stuff and looked at funny pictures at work. That little time I charged was me transferring some stuff from my PC to my phone.
5 hours and 18 minutes isn't too bad, although this sot seems to be an outlier for me, I usually get about 3-4 hours sot if I don't use my screen as much. It seems that the battery drains fast no matter what I do on it, whether it be using it or not. So if I use it as much as possible right after charging it, I get the best sot. I can't really get my phone to last longer than about 18-20 hours even if the screen doesn't come on.
I plan on experimenting with different ROMs and kernals to find the best battery life. The battery is definitely my biggest issue with this phone.
Wow, I'll do it too soon xD
The problem is pretty clear. It's the Android OS. This is a typical Lollipop issue which isn't fully solved on 5.1.
There are some posts on XDA which might help. Specially one restricting the Google Services via Privacy Gurad or XPrivacy. Can't test it for myself because still waiting for my ZF2. Did someone tried this?
(I'm in hurry and will post the links later)
I can sometimes get around 6 hours SOT
Prism Barebone & Project T
Underclock to 333mhz-1250mhz
Yankactive and sioplus 512kb
Greenify almost all apps, leaving essentials
Power Nap too with quite a number of essential apps whitelisted
On Wi-Fi (I didn't try on mobile data)
I call myself I moderate heavy user ?

I'll install Titanium Backup to remove it. But how? Whats is the internal name of this app?

Thanks going to download this rom today.
Broke my own 'record'' today and reached nearly 5 hours. I will reach it if i dont charge it soon but i wanted to show the SOT at the same battery lvl as in my last post.
WiFi was on all day, chatting, some music and a few mins of gaming was today's session.

Hi guys,
After buying s2 i was worried about battery life. Because first two days it was like 12-14 hours of medium use.
But now its marathon :d
See some shots..

I thought i was getting good battery life with medium to heavy usage (27 hours) on Cognition 1.15 but that is exceptional, can you tell me your set up as to how you achieved this amount of battery life.
cheers
Tegrak's kernel and underclocked.
Frozen samsung apps. and brightness mostly 0% as i am fairly fine with the lowest brightness it doesn't hurt my eyes.
also one more thing, i am using overclocking upto 1300 as well and you will be surprised most people will tell you to go underclock to save battery but i didn't and i am just happy with 1.3 Ghz blazing speed.
Here's a shot of running.
REMOVED
Also i used camera for recording movie for about 50 minutes in 720P and 50+ photographs as well which is not mentioned in the above post. I will post once again when my battery will reach 1% because when its below 10% it drops really slow and allows me to use it more unlike when its full.
Sit it on a desk and stare at it. The average screen on time is 5 hrs. You can use that in a day or spread it across 3 days.

One more thing, i only recharge battery when its below 5% or mostly under 2% to full turning it off. And ofcourse this only first week of using the phone, hope it will increase a bit more by next week.
[Note: I personally believe plugging in and out of charger makes the phone battery drop faster]

You should blur out your IMEI number from the screenshot buddy.
What ROM are you using?
I usually have brightness set to auto, same as you all Samsung apps frozen, am not using Tegrak i don't believe it's compatible with Cognition ROM, are you using Juice Defender Ultimate or other apps,etc,etc, im on setcpu im 200 min - 800 max - on demand and screen off profile - 200 min - 500 max - consertivave - priority 100.
Seriously impressive all the same..

That is the best battery life ive ever seen on XDA for any type of smartphone never mind one like the GS2, did you use the Internet/Wi-Fi/GPS/Bluetooth,etc, much,do you have any widgets on your screen, push e-mail,etc, im amazed your getting that amount of time without using Juice defender or some other similar app.

Bluetooth yes for 10 minutes transfering some files.
Gps yes for around 1 hour (you can see that in pics atleast it shows usage for ndrive there)
wifi yes around 1 hour but its always on mostly (mostly used for market to download and test applications, gmailing and also some browsing)
3g or edge no i didn't use it.
Games yes i played like drag race etc.
widget yes, battery widget and the running app widget and live wallpapers.
Mine, I think there's a little (big) problem :
Considering the first 8 hours were during the night so I didn't touch my phone :
Running on VR2.1, many things push or so (like 15/30mins refresh) [mails, fb, twitter, news, weather, etc], and good modem (KG2) and CF-Root 4.1.
Any idea/advice please ?
A better rom maybe ?
Thanks in avance

The real secret to great battery life is to disable all the data connections and not use the phone. Since most people are pretty active with their phones, threads about stand-by time are pretty meaningless. Actually, with over a dozen battery life threads already running, you could say new battery life thread are pretty meaningless too.

Ok thats along the lines of what I thought it was. Thanks.
Didn't know it was possible to change it, illigal. Huh
But can some one tell me where it is shown so I can block it if I ever post some screen shots?
I'm on stock K2-CL. I used 3G just a bit today while in a restaurant, wifi is always on, but I normally sit in front of the computer most of the day, or use my tablet at home, so I do very light surfing - mostly while on the can.
I've not installed "app freezers", nor underclocked the processor, nor rooted or removed anything that isn't stock android. Not stopping tasks in the task manager. In the screenshot below, I did play around a bit on Google Earth for 15 min or so, I'm surprised not to see the android market in there because I feel that's what I used most. I use a live wallpaper that's fairly bright (moving clouds).
Brightness on auto - automatic gmail notifications, contact syncs etc.
I'm going to go on a big trip next week, where electricity will sometimes be optional. I do have that Samsung battery case thinggie coming the mail next week - and already have an external battery as well for emergencies, because this phone will die in an hour or two using the gps, or playing games, or doing serious web surfing - or a combination of those things. It runs very hot too if you use it constantly several hours (drove 500 kilometers last week, the phone was very very hot - seemed unhealthy).
If you hold the power button along with the home button it takes a screen shot.
Thought id say to make it easier for ya in future!
thanks a millions
Don't mind the n00b Here.
Found the IMEI number in the status tab of about phone.

it would probably be more relevant if you post a graph without charging the phone
btw, it's an interesting thread to help choose a battery efficient rom, and to see if anybody really can get a 5 h screen on time with a single charge (like i've read around here), I only get 3,5-4 hours, I'll post my stats later

The screen time highly depends on what you're doing with the phone. If you play somewhat heavy games, you won't get the 5 hours.
But if you mostly use it for light stuff, those 5 are generally easy to get. And even 6 or 7.
So in other words, this thread is simply a big fap fest/look at my e-peen hoedown ?

Ummm Not really Mate,
And well i was in a bit of a rush when i made it...
But of course there are MANY factors that can determine the battery life,
But there is also no harm in us showing what we are getting with our current setups? Im not saying we are going to get 3 days if we play like 4 hours of a game on our phone..
But for some "General Users" this may prove quite useful?
I for one am interested in the post above, Saying that he is getting 3 days, I would love to know his setup , then i can try it out and see if it works better for me?
Thats the only aim of this thread...
So i would appreciate if you didnt use such remarks mate ^_^

I know there are alot of factors with what determines the screen time,
But there is no harm in us discussing what we are getting with our current set-ups and how much use we do with our phones..

are you kidding me, 7 h and 44 mins , I get almost 4 hours screen, only by doing moderate stuff, (browsing, a few calls, some music, I'll post graphs later when the battery discharges), I'm on cm9, but it was the same before with stock roms, think i'm going to get Checkrom a try, only to see if it can reach that kind of performance

LOL I've seen someone hit 8 hours screen on with Hyperdroid. I'd have to underclock to about 500mhz and have screen brightness on the lowest setting whilst looping a blank video to hit that lmao
Sorry. I'll leave you to fap off over battery life & show each other your e-peens in peace.

These are the results I got today. It's not the best but pretty good.
Info:
• Foxhound 3.0 (KL1)
• Siyah Kernel 2.6.7
• 2000 mAh battery
• All day connected to wifi, 15 minutes max to 3G/H+
• Activities on phone: lots of whatsapp, viber calls, Internet browsing, played a few games for a few minutes (fruit ninja for example), etc
Result as in screenshots: 6 hours of screen time and over 13 hours of standby time.
well here are my stats, not very good from what i see
-the latest build of cm9
-2:36 h of screen on but 31% still left
-about 30 mins of calls, some sms, connected to a 3g network but data on only for about 10 mins and wi fi for about 3 hours
-an hour of music
-about 20 mins of games (apparatus )
I think that I'll flash Check Rom + Neak tonight to see how it goes, tomorrow the 2000 mAh battery will arrive so the next post will be with the new battery
Nice seems like we are getting some good feedback at the moment ^_^,
If we get more and more posts,
I will make some sort of Template Guideline i guess that everyone should follow when they make their Posts...
Im tempted to get a 2000mah battery it seems like a couple of people have upgraded to that, I think i will wait for a bit more feedback from others,
Still currently testing my Hyperdroid + Neak 1.3.3 at the moment,
Will see what i get out from it..

The 2000 mAh extanded battery is very nice. It adds about 20-35% battery life. What I also like is the new back cover that comes with it. The back becomes "flush" with that hump at the bottom of the phone. Also, the phone becomes more rounded. It sits better in your hand imo.
I got a Nexus 4 yesterday, and so far it has been excellent. Really fast and has all the features I want. The battery life is pretty poor though. I am at 28% with a screen on time of only about 2 hours. The total time is about 8 hours. I haven't been using it a lot. The main thing consuming battery seems to be Nova Launcher for some reason. I have it on my Nexus 7 and it doesn't decrease battery life at all, but it seems to use a lot more on here. It was at 24% according to GSam Battery Monitor.
I just followed a bunch of instructions for increasing battery life from various websites so I will see how it goes. I now have all the Google syncing disabled, location services off and brightness on auto.
Is there anything I should be doing? Why is Nova Launcher's usage so high?
Thanks,
EDIT: Could it be the widgets I am using? I have two Gmail inbox widgets, the messaging widget and the circle battery widget.
Same here though I'm not sure its nova, my battery got as bad as yours when i rooted to stock.

it could, or any other apps you have working in the background. it can also be how you use the device. but before you assume anything about your battery life, give it 3-4 battery cycles before it normalizes.

Alright. I have minor OCD kind of thing so I always close the active apps through the task manager as soon as I exit them. I'll give it a few more days and then pursue the issue further.

im ocd about that too, lol. the back button to kill is one of my favorite custom rom features. also, autostarts and greenify are both great apps to make sure that you have mich less ctap opening in the background. anyways, im a heavy user normally, battery life on the nexus 4 id never call bad. usually i get 3.5-5.5 hours screen on time, depending on use. but then again, i use a custom kernel thats optimized for performance and battery. but, stock rom/kernel isnt bad on battery.
I too Force Close all the social networking apps before sleeping and turn wifi off. And i daily get around 4 hrs of OST. Will attach pics later to show. So to get 4 hrs OST you need really need to have a custom kernel. Just optimize your usage and you are fine with the stock kernel.
Phone is totally stock. Not rooted. And i got 6 pages on Apps installed.
I even used to clear RAM every now and then but I just stopped doing it as I couldn't find it doing anything better.
The battery life is much better now. Yesterday when I got back from school it was at 40% or so, and today it was at 68%.
Gets better after a few battery cycles. My battery life was average, so I rooted and with matr1x kernel it's snappier and better battery.

i'm stock and my battery life was shockingly bad on the default settings until yesterday when i tried some fixes and they have made things much better.
looking at my N4 right now, i'm still on 58% after 22 hours. that's after several voice calls, some browsing & reading emails, GPS navigation using Maps, a couple of skype video calls, wake-up alarms etc.
basic fixes as follows:
- screen brightness right down to maybe 10-15%
- data off when not being used, ditto location services
- NFC and BT off.
- i've left wifi on as it doesn't seem to take much battery if it's not being used.
that's all! after charging last night, i woke after 6 hours or so and was amazed to see it had dropped only 1-2%, so apparently nothing is waking it from sleep.
One thing that really improved my battery life (when I had a Nexus 4) and something I tell to anybody with poor battery life, is to go into maps, go to settings, location settings, and uncheck "report from this device". If you've got the app "wakelock detector" just watch the wakelocks from maps almost entirely disappear. It nearly doubled my battery life at the time.

Hey thx man that didn't work but it did start me down the path to fix my problem.
I found out it had something to do with my GPS options its in settings and location access WiFi and GPS location options i checked it off and now i am getting 1 hour screen on time for every %10 if you do the math i have about 8hours of screen on time! I also have setcpu app which is giving me about 48hours of standby time, i will upload some screens after a bit more testing.

My battery life is brill and i never turn owt off or force anything to close, it is only bad when i play a 3d game or something but what do you expect. over night it only drops about 1% every 4 hours which is a bit bonkers.

Lol, so whats a custom kernel? cuzz i think I don't hav one because i hav rooted stock rom. sorry not to change subject
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
first day of full use in my nexus 4 I got 5 hours of screen on time. stock rom and kernel, just rooted. I think it's pretty decent.
just do what people say, disable location useless stuff and monitor your wake locks.

If you would like to risk such things as unlocking bootloader, rooting, installing custom ROM and kernel, then it'd be easier for you.
Personally, I've found codefireX ROM and faux123 kernel to be battery friendly and very responsive, but of course you've got to be a bit fixed on such things as playing with your devices and getting fun from it to do that
another update:
after 20m browsing/ emails this morning and a couple of calls, i'm down to:
2d 9h 18m and 11%

I use Temasek as my rom with greenify, amplify, kernel audiotor , appopsxposed and tasker.
On custom kernel Clarity r26 (permissive)
My brightness is set to 12 when I am indoor or after 5 pm. From 10 am to 5 pm I have automated brightness to 15 when outdoor.
Once my screen goes off wifi or data is turned off. My phone goes to Airplane mode from 12 am to 7 am. Once I am home wifi is turned on and data service is disabled.
I am sure most around here knows how to use amplify and greenify so I wont go about explaining the same.
With appopsxposed I have disabled all the location permissions of all the apps including play services except tasker as I dont use them.
In the next post I will post my kernel settings. I have tried and tested this multiple times and the results have been more or less same.

OMG are you serious ? This works on a depleted battery as well ? You can get 10 hours of SOT with a newer battery. And use Kernel audiutor and make sure you are using clarity r26 with permissive.

To ensure you dont drop much while device not in use ... You should use amplify and greenify all apps that you have installed. Kill Google play service and ensure the apps you greenify are not waking up.

I just wanted to put this out there. I have O beta installed with latest update, no root, bootloader locked, DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn, greenify (whatever it can do without root and jumping through adb hoops), stock launcher and I have never ever ever had such a great standby battery life. In EX kernel managers battery monitor, I see < 1 % per hour screen off battery drain consistently where I have not been able to go below 2.2% with any, (I say any and I have tried all) rom+kernel combination on 7.1.x.
This is GREAT!! I have never been happier with any stock rom ever.
EDIT: I would like to add that I have LG Urbane watch connected with phone all the time so bluetooth is on all the time but I bluetooth scanning is disabled (in location improvement, wifi scanning is still on). Battery optimizations for android wear is disabled.

Is it possible you can take a screenshot of your battery stats from settings so some of us that like visuals can see? What is your screen on time like?
That's interesting, cause my battery life and performance have both dropped significantly for me on O compared to Nougat
It's worse on O, though pretty great for beta. I've got up to 5h of SOT.

Best ever is 7h on PN and Frank kernel.
Stock usually 5h so the O isn't too far off. Maybe very slightly for me. It can only improve from here I think.

7h is unheard of. were you on battery saver mode the entire time?
I can get over 6h on a fully stock pixel, locked bootloader and all. I would say the majority of my time is on wifi. O beta seems to work well but my understanding from a community post by Google, don't have the link anymore, is you need beta Google play services installed as well to get O's battery benefits. I can't say that it makes more of a difference for me in comparison to avoiding notorious apps which hinder performance. I had similar battery life on N.

fyi: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/6djbbf/for_those_on_o_beta_you_must_also_be_on_the_g/
My battery life on O was horrendous. We're talking night and day. I run stock with not more than 20 or so apps. Something is really really wrong with O. I've gone back and forth on the beta twice with the same results.
I use the beta ROM about one week and it is very very good , also battery very good

I'm getting really nice batterylife with 8.0, which is awesome. It is now more in line with my average battery life with other devices like the HTC 10 and such. This however is fine to me as long as it's not dying by 1-2PM for me haha

I am completely stock, just updated today. I turned off background operation using the battery manager built in to Android to limit apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, Chrooma Keyboard, etc.
For my usage my phone wouldn't last very long. I would probably hit 50% with an hour of screen on time. Now I'm at an hour and 54 minutes with 54% left. I've been off the charger since around 11AM, and it's currently 4PM so I'm definitely gonna have to see where it goes from here. When I leave work the real concern is heat when playing music or podcasts over Bluetooth, for whatever reason my phone was getting really hot when I used Bluetooth so I'll see how that is when I leave work today.

"DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn"....slightly confused by this..did you mean that you get privacy features like other VPN providers? AFAIK as I know DNS66 is only a local VPN and does not provide security/privacy features
