[Official] battery stats thread

Once we get charged up (and back down), let's see how the battery life in the S4 compares to the quad core.
Please make sure to include your screen on time, as that is the best indicator of light/heavy use.

pleasantly surprised
I can't believe how good the battery has been so far, 84% after 13hours (over night)
I am a light user. still - that is impressive for stock. I never got close to that with my OG Epic on stock which was usually 3% per hour.

1h, 3M Battery down to 76%.
screen on for 38 min, 33% of battery usage.

Heres mine on a first day full charge...

Not too bad for first day with moderate to heavy use!

This is heavy usage. Screen on time of 3.5 hours. Downloading Max Payne and a lot of apps. Downloading and listening to audio on Google chrome. Lots of Pulse usage. Games, YouTube, and 30 minutes of phone calls.
*edit* Bluetooth and wifi on all day long.

More information is better for those of us living vicariously through you guys. Remember to include screen-on time. Thanks!

Here's mine for the first full day. Should my cell idle be taking up that much of the battery?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

one thing im NOT noticing here is Allshare Service taking up a high percentage in your guys battery stats...
on mine its been at 7-9% and i dont know why, i have something waking up my phone when the screen is off and it might be that... ive forced stop, but i check later and its active again, ive disabled the service and the Allshare play in the application manager but still comes back on... hmmm i think im gonna have to root and just get rid of that file, or freeze it or something

Question... Does having all the motion settings on effect the battery? Also does having the NFC and sbeam on hurt the battery?

in addition, the eye tracker thingy?

This is only the 2nd cycle. Going to wipe stats after this charge

I'm still waiting for the second cycle to finish I have the motion controls on and the eye thing and I had no drop at all overnight

I wish I could get some stats like that. The screenshots are while I was sleeping and 7% seems like a lot of drain for it just sitting there. Only thing on was wifi. Cell standby time on is always the same as the time on battery, is that normal?
edit: the phone now shows 79% battery left with time on battery of 12h 46m; cell standby the exact same; screen on at 9% with time on of 48m. I'm fully stock and running power save mode.

Here are my stats. I think the battery life isn't too bad so far but we will see.

are the battery stats suppose to reset when you restart the phone? For dinner reason my persist even after a reboot

No, they will carry over until you re-charge or change the battery.
I was going to make a thread like this, but it was already here! Here are my results after my second full charge and regular usage. The results are on par with my fully modified and decked out Epic. Of course, this device has a bigger battery, but it also has a larger screen. Between the hardware and software upgrades, I'm very impressed with the stock battery life. This includes wifi on at all times as well as signal w/data. Some motion features are enabled, nfc is not, and google sync is off (I use stock email). Now how much further can this be improved?? Remember not to be discouraged, Screen On times will vary depending on what the phone is used for. Showing pictures is much less battery intensive than watching YouTube videos.

Oh yes! And it's not even hitting full battery cycle, which should come after some 10 recharges. Not bad at all.

Whoa, sometimes by phone stats go crazy, but that one on the right is strange. Probably need to hit a few cycles to get the stats accurate.

Is it normal to see an uptick in battery even if the device is not plugged in to recharge? I'm guessing this might iron out after the battery stabilizes a bit, but I am definitely noticing that after use, if I leave the tablet on the table unplugged and return to it a while later, the battery reads (sometimes significantly) higher than when I left it. Battery history also shows a rise as well. I just think it's strange, as the unit was not actually plugged in or charging during that period.

My old phone used to mess with the stats. Let it run out of juice, charge full up with the device off, unplug, turn on and you'll have fresh battery stats.

From SlashGear Review
http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-7-2013-review-29292015/
Google quotes up to nine hours of HD video playback or up to ten hours of web-browsing from a full charge. Our own testing suggests these are pretty accurate estimates; with heavy use, including Netflix media streaming over WiFi, push email and social networking turned on, some photography, and browsing, we managed almost nine hours of use before the 2013 Nexus 7 ran out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try it and see how it goes. I have gotten excellent battery life out of the original Nexus 7, so I'm hoping for similar performance on the new one.

have any of you guys run into the battery with exclamation mark @ 0%? I plugged it in and i'm getting nothing to indicate charge is going up. If i turn off the tablet, the charge indicator works and it's charging. after a few hours though, the charge progress is still the same (starting from zero). any ideas?
thanks!

Is anyone having Google services cause serious idle battery drain? It has to be caused by some Google app I have installed. I want to start fresh with an aosp ROM and install one app at a time. Anyone have any experience with Google services causing lots of battery drain?

Early report of Nexus 6 battery performance : Almost 6 hours screen on time!

What do you think???
With not so good cell reception (as he said) and so many wake-locks, I think it's pretty good!

Now lets see how the battery handles while playing Ingress!

I would be very happy with this if it is typical usage!

If I can actually get anywhere near this I will be very Happy.

Not as good as I was hoping, but still reasonable. That's right around what I've been averaging with my Moto X.

Not good at all.

The wake locks are horrible!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I think that is looking decent, with 13% of the battery used being on 'Cell standby' it is clear that reception was not good during the day. On my nexus 5 when cell reception is good Cell standby barely registers on the list. Max of 5% usually. So would we be looking at 6.5 hours screen time if reception is good? Also no indication that battery saving has been used or not (doesn't look like it is, on the screenshots as the notification/nav bar are not orange). Or what screen brightness set.
Who knows. It is all guessing until more reviews are out.

Yes, same with me. On my Nexus 5 with quite good reception the "mobile standby" is less than 5%.
With that in mind, we will have more than this.
And see those wake-locks, horrible.
Probably some apps, services, or accounts need to be properly setup and configured.
More battery life from that.
And for more extreme, we can use darker theme
So, I am OK with this early report, it's a GOOD BASE!

It's a great start. I'm sure we'll have them up to 10 hours SOT with tweaks in no time.

That is mush better then my Note 3... hope I can get this divce sone..

I'm seeing similar wakelocks on my nexus 5 with the last preview. The one before it had much better battery life, at least for me. I think kitkit has better battery life than lpx19D. so much for improved battery savings in 5.0.

Yeah me too. My N5 was charged fully yesterday morning and it just sat at my house untouched all day, and by the time I went to bed it was at 75%, which is pathetic. That's the last dev preview. On KK, it still would have been at 100%, or at worst 99%. I didn't investigate what was causing it, but that was bone stock without a single app installed. It shouldn't be like that. Hopefully the final version won't have that issue.

im not impressed. my G3 can easily handle 6 hours of screen time. But its tweaked to hell. Im curious to see the N6 with tweaks. also, does anyone know what screen brightness was set to?

Yes it will but it is also very nice to know about what to expect ... this should get just about the same battery life as the note 4 ...give or take 30 minutes

I agree but some people take these findings to heart and if the battery doesn't live up to their expectations they have an aneurysm.

LOL Oh. Yeah your right. Didn't realize that. I have wireless chargers everywhere "even made one that was non-slip for my truck" must have put it on one sometime and forgot. Sorry bout that guys. Didn't mean to post a false reading LOL But still I've seen pretty close to those numbers several times without charging.. Depends on what I've been doing of course.
Btw That was an old screenshot I just had in my gallery from not long after I got the phone.

Ive gotten 34 hours out of it so far im really impressed

I have the moto Maxx, Mexican firmware. I´m from Argentina.
Could you tell me guys the version and the baseband of yours?
Because it seems that the latin america version the battery is barely poor.
Thanks!

Damn... Going beast mode with this battery. Would've gone longer, but gotta use it more tomorrow when I'm out. Ya, I know I only have 4hrs of SOT. Haven't been using much

I assume anyone getting more than 48 hours of battery life is turning off data, or at least disabling updates/background data. Just out of curiosity, do you always keep that turned off, or do you just do that when you're seeing how much you can squeeze out of the battery? In my mind, the big reason to get a device with a big battery is so you don't have to baby the battery like that.

battery life

Can anyone with >4 hours sot post screenshots of their battery life? I'm only trending at 3.5 and the only problematic things are Android system and Android os. Already used 250mah after 3 hours off the charger. Google now is turned off and used PDP already but not on system apps

Same here....on snapdrag...

Honestly my battery life is pretty add. Back on the s7 edge during build 4 of the night beta my standby time was incredible. It stayed on 100 percent for 2 hours (although I did use it for about 15 minutes thought the 2 hours) and I expected the same with this phone even though it has a smaller battery. But I can't even squeeze out 11 hours and that's with PDP (disabling all bloat and even bixby and some other small things). I'm considering a factory reset to see if that helps

Um..... My battery life on the s8 plus is the best I've ever had, on any device, with or without a custom rom. The stand by I get is incredible and screen time is always over five hours.

Already got almost 5 hours 40 min SOT and still have 40% battery left.

Yes mate! It can kill your battery very fast. I've lost 20% battery in an hour after leaving my phone in a gym locker with very poor reception with my S7 Edge. The worse the signal is, the harder that phone is working to stay connected. As a consequence, you get huge battery drain in areas with poor reception no matter which brand of phone you use.

I have to say battery life's been very good. Get almost 6 hours sot everyday. T mobile s8 here.
Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

I also have been getting 6+ hours so since I got mine this past Thursday. Just yesterday I got 7.5 hours sot over a 28 hours off the charger period. It's pretty damn good.
AOD is off. Turned off wifi and Bluetooth scanning.
Don't have bixby setup or enabled.
No disabled apps.
Have the S8+ btw

AOD is the killer - I probably hover around 5-6 hrs SOT with AOD enabled, 6+ hours easily with AOD disabled.

On my second charge I got just over 6 hours. I have the Canadian model which comes with Snapdragon. I have it set to WQHD+, AOD on, 50% brightness, changed a few things in settings, and use Package Disabler Pro to disable things I don't use. Its quite hard for me to drain the battery on this phone compared to the Note 5 I had.

Battery is better than my note 5.

I charged phone two times now every time sot at 5:30 hours with 15% left
