Note: I haven't charged to a 100% yet. Just got the phone and it had 25%~ battery off the box

So what is the problem?

If you check the screenshots uploaded by other people about their battery life, you'll see that mine is WAY lower.

I'll test it out for a day or two. If the battery remains like this, I'll ask for a replacement.

This thread is so foolish. You got a phone with 25% battery, have probably been playing around with it, syncing everything, having the phone settle in, haven't fully charged it, and you're complaining about battery?
Do you also give 1 star reviews in the play store because an app that clearly says needs root, won't work on your non rooted phone? EVERY phone has to settle in. No phone is going to give you 5 hours screen on time with 25% battery from a fresh out of the box setup. Your expectations are way too high lol.
Give it time before you complain man, come on.

Hey, everyone
I am sorry, I haven't bought a new phone in 4 years. I had forgotten about how to bench phones. I wasn't complaining, I just wanted to know if I should be worried.

Just give it a day or two. It'll come around

Got mine!!

Got it!! this thing is INCREDIBLE!!!
Let us know about your thoughts on the battery life
they gave it to me with 3/4 battery life left. i'm going to burn it all the way down and recharge and go from there. it would be nice if we had a battery meter that would tell life time remaining. i.e. 16hours, 18 minutes. (p.s. i started this thread so everyone could join in the "i've got mine" party. not to brag! )
This thing is F'ing unbelievable! I don't think I've ever been more pleased with a phone & I've had almost all of them. I have no complaints. Can't wait to get home & root this beast! Sprint, HTC & Google just told Apple & the rest of the industry to suck their Evo!!!

Look up BatteryTime Lite in the app market. It will give you a counutdown of how long it should last using various activities. The Evo probably isn't in the options yet, but you can choose other and import your battery mAh
but there's no app that just displays time remaining? I.E. OSX laptops have a countdown in the top right that says how much time you have left

Drain Battery without Galaxy 3?

I ordered a new battery but its gonna take some time before it arrives.
By the time I was thinking if there is any way to drain out my old battery without using my Galaxy 3?
Maybe like attaching a light bulb?
Is it possible?

w h y ??
I don't know.....
Just curious I guess.....
Or is there anyway by which the phone stops calculating the battery left and then directly switches off when the battery becomes 0?
And my new battery hasn't arrived yet.....
Maybe with a LED... not?

Don't do anything like this, it could kill the battery or even be more dangerous.

The battery is already as good as dead.
What worse could happen?

Nexus 10 - Sudden battery (Drops to 0%)

Hi Guys,
I've seen a few people post about this error on reddit where their Nexus 10 is at anywhere from 30-60% battery and it suddenly drops to 0%, everyone reporting the problem seems to of had their tablet for a year and a half...
Why is this happening, what's the fix and is it the battery needing replacing?
Is this covered by warranty if purchased through the Google Play store?
Anyone able to help/advise?
Bad battery. I had to replace my battery and the problem went away. You will have to buy an aftermarket battery and install it.

Hi,
In my case the battery would drop from 20% to 0%, but after letting it fully discharge and then charge fully while turned off it stopped happening. Don't know why, but randomly it starts again, the same procedure always worked for me.
However in some cases it can be indeed a faulty battery and need replacement.

I contacted Google and apparently they'll fix it as the tablet is in good condition and it's still in it's 2 years warranty.

Alleged: Nearly 8 hours SOT fully stock

So check this post out:
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/35vp8k/how_is_this_even_possible/
TL;DR - this guy claims (and seems to have posted screenshots of) nearly 8 hours screen-on time, fully stock.

He says he's getting almost 8 hours of screen-on time at 40% brightness and he's completely stock -- and your response is "so what"?
I am not sure how it's possible, what the guy is claiming.

yup, so what? what does his battery life have to do with my life? nothing!
battery life is completely personal, depends how you use the device, what you install, your setup, and your signal quality.
As long as battery life isn't completely horrible, I can live with whatever I get. I have a 13,000 mah portable charger, a car charger, a charger at home, and one at work. Not worried.
I never got 4+ SOT with all kind of battery saving techniques.
Unfortunately it's really easy to fake this. Not saying he's been dishonest. I applaud his tweaking if it is legit

Why would you want to partialy disable and cripple a near perfect device for another hour of screenontime? Realy, ever heard of powerbanks

Ya my note 3 did the same thing, i thought it was tye battery caz of the 8 dollar price. That is the conclusion i came up with too the phone was never really hot and 2 of those batteries swelled up making them unusable. I did upgrade the battery didnt have any more swell. I would like to know how that does happen though, i thought i was the onlu person that ran into this im glad read this post and hopefully can get an answer as im very curious if it was the type of battery or if was kernel. I cant remember the kernel i had but thought might be from putting too much speed in my rom.

Yeah. I want to know this too. These days i have been swapping between stock and cm 12.1 and on stock the battery amp ranges from 1200mah to 1800mah but on cm12.1 it always stayed at 1800mah and also phone got hot. It may be due to that or it may be because discharged this battery once to zero and then recharged it to 100 and then jump charged a couple of times. A lot of factors and this one was abused a lot so I can't put my finger on exactly what I did that caused this.
