Has anyone noticed that after around 3 weeks of using the HD2 the battery life magicly gets bareable?
After 24 odd hours the batterly life is at 76% were as before it would be on its last legs.
Its made me slightly happier with it now, not having to charge it every second i got.
I recall someone explained before that it's simply becoz one tends to fiddle with the device more when it's newly acquired. Now your battery can last longer probably because you are playing with it less each day.
Or did you do any magic power-saving tweak that you can tell us more about?

Lion and LiPo batteries achieve their max capacity after a period of use similar to the time you have reported.
To keep them there charge as often and for as long as you can.
Exact, it's not your battery lasting longer, it's just you not spending your day playing with the thing anymore.
It's always the same thing, the more a device can do, the more you do with it. On my first 1h train journeys after getting my HD2, I was able to kill 50% battery in 1hr. My first thought was "wow, with my Kaiser I would only use like 15%!!"
But then I took a second thought. I used 50%, but I was browsing the web, in bad reception areas, while listening to music the whole time. With my Kaiser, I'd put music on, check 3 webpages, then put it on the tray with just MSN connected and just pick it up to read/type a message once in a while.
On a next trip, I "forced myself" to do the same with the HD2. Just checked the news for 5 mins, then only listened to music and picked up msn once in a while, plus an unexpected 10min phone call. Guess what? I've only used 20% battery during the trip this time
The "problem" is that browsing with the Kaiser was just painful, so I'd just check the news and put it away. On the HD2 it's so comfortable I forget it and just spend my whole trip browsing heavy pages, which obviously kills battery in no time...
It may be also that battery charge controller incorretly displays battery charge.
It may be that it shows you 75% after 2 days and then by 1 hour your battery will fall down to 1%.
I haven't really done anything different, but my battery life in the past few weeks has just gotten better and better.
Right now it's 3pm. I put in a fresh battery at 9pm last night. Batt level: 55%. I was asleep for 7 out of those 18 hours, but I've had wifi and BT on the whole time. I've read and replied to 15 emails, maybe 10 texts, 15 min of calls, surfed the web for 2 hours, played about 30min of games, and had music streaming for 1.5 hrs. I've easily been making it through long work days (8am-8pm) of moderate/heavy use, whereas before I would need to recharge after 6-8 hours.
Anyone else noticing better battery life after the first few weeks? (of course, it might have to do with the fact that I'm playing with it less, but there are days when I play with it constantly and it's still doing better than 12+ hours)
I'm still on the first week with my current vibrant and I have noticed a slight improvement in battery life since I first got it--the fact that my life is pretty consistent day to day (phone-wise) helps me track it. Maybe the hardware and software need to be 'broken in' per-se?

Yeah, it does get better, but 12 hours is not good enough nowadays -- if you go to dinner after work, the battery will be dead before you get home.
This is my biggest gripe about the Galaxy S -- compared to my old iPhone 3Gs the battery life just sucks.
I am hoping that the efficiencies that come with Froyo will squeeze a few more hours and make it usable for a full day.
If Samsung gets off its lazy (or incompetent) butt and upgrades us to Froyo soon, of course.

The question is, what are you not doing? We can all get it to last the long, but this is a smart phone. I cannot afford to treat it like if I was stranded on an island.
Before I get into my post I just wanted to say I'm running stock out of the box with no root/ROM/etc. Just plain ol vanilla Eclair...with the JI5 via Kies.
I'm getting about 32 hours myself. I do use tasker to set up profiles only to turn things on when I want them. Such as sync will only be enabled for specific apps when I run them then off when I close them. GPS is only on when I run Maps/Yelp/any geo-aware app then it turns itself off. Turn on silent mode/vibrate when I'm at the office by recognizing specific cell towers...stuff like that.
I also disabled "Use Wireless Networks" under Location & Security since Google says it will use it even when the phone is off. I don't know why but it's been saving on battery too. I also don't use any task killing app such as ATK since I think the phone should be smart enough to manage the memory by itself.
edit: Oh, I use automatic brightness settings too with manual brightness control on the browser (usually on low-med setting)

Everything enabled except brightness. i turn off wifi and bluetooth when sleeping, and have sync set to once an hour for social contacts and such. For facebook etc i manually update my feed when i want to check on it, or it auto updates every hour.

I'm at a point of consistent battery life of about 13 hours of moderate to heavy use. Been this way since about the middle of August. The longest I've pushed it was close to 21 hours but i'm normally in the 11-12 range.
Glad your phone is leveling out though

Nah it's not any different from when you first bought it, you're just using it less, even though you think you are using it the same.
Trust me, when people buy a new phone, the first few days or couple weeks they can't take their fingers off the phone, and it appears battery sucks. As you get over your new toy phase, you don't play with it as much, and magically you think the battery has grown new cells.
bye.

There are easy ways to take care of this if you really need better battery life. First, call T-Mobile and complain that battery life is shorter than advertised. They'll walk you through a script and send you a free spare battery. Second, get an external battery charger. They're all over ebay for about ten dollars, and most come with generic spare batteries.
I've now got a charger and three batteries, so I can pretty much make it through an entire work week without worrying. (You couldn't do that with a 3GS!)

Are you serious?!
You really like carrying a pocketful of spare batteries?
I have 2 spare batteries, but I pack them only when I travel.
The damned phone should be able to last throughout a full day (meaning 16 or so hours) without having to worry about turning features off or limiting your calls and mail checking).
I never had to even think about the battery with my iPhone 3Gs.

I get nice battery life but I use it too much, then "a day" is from 5am to 10pm, it's just too useful, and when you check usage, it's 75% display.
36 hours would be easy if I limited my screen on-time....while I would like a UV kernel it's likely not helping enough. My display is on lowest, yet I'd love a lower setting.
Aside, the more background services check stuff while screen is off, battery life hours down.
Overall, I am VERY happy with the battery life.

Um, the batteries are pretty small and skinny. Are you wearing pants with no pockets or something? Seriously, the thing can almost fit in the coin pocket of some jeans.

You must be one of the few 3G/3GS users to never worry about battery life. Most of the users I know have (or had) to recharge mid-day, a pain in the butt since the battery is not removable. Your 3GS has a much slower processor/GPU, and a smaller screen with a quarter of the pixels; but even then, google "iphone 3gs battery life" and you'll get page after page of reviewers and users complaining about the abysmal battery life.
(of course, someone here claims that his Vibrant can go 40+ hours, so maybe your iPhone is a similar outlier.)

Its exactly what the problem is. When I flash a new rom I spend 30minutes getting back to the way I like it and my battery suffers from it. When I actually use my phone like its intended to be used I get great battery life.
Are you using any kind of ROMs? I think some ROMs greatly improves battery life.

Dude, I've had one iPhone 2G and two iPhone 3Gs. I also have two Galaxy S variants (international and a Vibrant).
There is no comparison between the iPhone 3Gs and the Galaxy S in terms of battery life. With the same kind of usage, the iPhone 3 Gs would last about 32-37 hours, while the Galaxy S would last about 12-13.
Even the iPhone 2G lasted about 18-20 hours. Now, compared to my previous HTC WM6 and WM6.5 phone, the Galaxy S does have longer battery life, but that's nothing to be so proud of.
The Galaxy's screen is certainly better than the 3Gs's, but the Super AMOLED is supposed to be more efficient than the LCD on the iPhone. Plus, in real world use, the iPhone 3Gs certainly feels smoother than the Galaxy S, even with the lag fix, and scrolling on the iPhone is smooth as butter, while the Galaxy S is choppy.
And it's not just the OS, because the EVO scrolls noticeably smoother than the Galaxy S.
I consistently get 20+ hours out of one charge. I can't really use my phone at work, but during breaks and lunch I'm always getting on it and checking mail/feeds/youtube or whatever and still have about 70% by the time I go home. I usually have more than half by the time I go to bed unless I've been doing some tethering or heavy audio/video streaming.

lol...thats so true...
Does anyone agree that the battery life for Samsung Focus is really short?
I use my phone to check emails, browse websites and listen to music during lunch, dinner and on the road. The total hands on time per day is roughly 2hrs. But if I only charge it overnight, not anytime else, it only last until right after dinner.
It unacceptably short comparing to my ex-phone, HTC Touch Pro2.
Anyone experiencing the same thing?
Who should take care of this issue? Samsung or Microsoft?
My phone on moderate use will last me 1.5-2 days but I usually charge it at the end of the night regardless. In the first couple of days I did notice that the battery would drain pretty fast but seemed to get better after that.
Mine will typically go from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. or so while still having the battery indicator having something inside. That's with it being used all day as an mp3 player, triaging email, web surfing, and Twitter.
When you get a new phone the battery has to go through a couple of cycles charging for the phone to calibrate. Also, keep in mind things that drain battery: light theme, streaming, basically downloading massive amounts of data. Make you sure you discharge your battery to about 10% and fully charge your battery a couple of times. Try not to go below 10% not good for battery. Make sure you are using wall adapter ac to charge. Charging from a pc is very slow and generally doesn't fully charge unless you leave it plugged for a LONG time.
Light use I'd say 1.5 days
Moderate 1 full day
Heavy use 7-8 hours
With light use i get about 4 to 5 days, heavy use i get about a day or two. Check to see if you have location services (GPS) running, wifi, etc as the more parasitic things you can turn off the better the battery life of course.
Mine lasts all day for me. A long 16+ hour day with moderate usage leaves me at about 30-35% battery. I keep Wi-Fi turned off and bluetooth always on. Not bad for a smart phone. I've seen phones far worse than this (Sprint Epic anyone?).
My battery last abour 8 - 9 hours, and I'm running for a outlet by then. But I'm a heavy user. Bt headphones with the music playing, twitter constantly, facebook, text, email, IE..., pretty much all of those 8 - 9 hours.
I have just about everything that I can find turned on, and have been using my new toy as much as possible. With that, I'm having to charge about twice a day, which is roughly where I was at with my Tilt2. Your battery drainage really sounds like it's normal, and likely related entirely to how much crap you have turned on and running in the background. The biggest drainer of the battery in any phone is gonna be the radio, so if you want to improve battery life, turn off stuff that connects to the network and set your email/weather/tweets/facebook to refresh much less often. Select "as items arrive" for your hotmail and Gmail so that they push instead of pull. Check your basics first before trying to find a customer service rep to chew out.
I'm happy with my battery life. I just charge it every night like I have every phone Ive owned. I use my phones as my morning alarm clock. I have all location services active, and i activate WiFi when usable. At work I leave it plugged in to stream music and podcast.
Coming from Android and Droid Incredible, the Focus is awesome on battery. I have no problem lasting the full day. I charge my phone each night overnight.
It's a mixed bag for me. the first few days when I was just getting to know it, making calls and just goofing around with basic functionality the battery was lasting very long and things were looking great.
Once I started using the data and other apps, the battery drains very fast IMO. I mean play a 2D game for half an hour and I won’t make it through the day.
Right now I’m not digging it that if I’m out and about I feel like I need to avoid using the phone like I would like to.
I’m really looking forward to being able to do things like being able to easily disable 3g.
I'm most certainly happy with my battery life. After using a nexus one, xperia x10 and the galaxy s I have nothing to complain about with the focus....just lovin wp7 at the moment.

Games are always battery killers, especially on AMOLED screens that tend to get the best battery life with black interfaces, since they actually don't light the pixels up if they're supposed to be black.
Coming from an iPhone 4 i can't complain. Battery on that was amazing. The focus doesn't Last at long but I can't say im disappointed. It's actually better than expected.
It is normal for the battery to die after browsing the internet for about 3-4 hours?? Not happy about that.
Battery life
It depends on how the phone has been used. Screen is the biggest power drain, than the radio (3G data, WiFI, location services).
With all on and moderate usage (gaming for 30 mins, a few calls, and playing with the phone for an hour) I get about 12 -13 hours.
With all off and a few TXT and calls (about 10 -12) I get about 76 hours.
Not bad I guess.
This phone is better than iPhone 3GS.

I use my Focus heavily for reading texts off of PDFs and browse the internet using WiFi most of the day, and in my free times I listen to music so I use it quite heavily. Yesterday I ran it through my routine day and got about 14-15 hours of full operational time from 100% charge as I took off from my dormitory to university to 0% half-way back to my dorm. My only problem is the length of time it has to be plugged in to charge. Its pretty slow, but that may be because of the large battery capacity to begin with.
the battery life is just OK, hopefully like with other cellphone updates maybe battery life will be improved at least somewhat, we can hope....
I have two of these things. Mine I use a lot and while the battery lasts less than my old 3GS, I am getting used to it and end up keeping hooked up to a charger pretty often.
My wife's on the other hand is baffling. She hardly uses the thing, maybe a call every day or two. For a while there we were getting about 3 days from a charge and then it would still have around 30%-50% left.
Now in the last few days, it drains the battery completely overnight. And I mean completely its totally shut down and dead. That’s with wifi and Bluetooth off and virtually no usage. Not sure what is happening, but this really sucks as now she can’t count on the thing to just be a phone without needing to be babied.
Hi All,
Please post about the battery life after using this phone!!
I want to know for how many hours I can play non-stop games
1500mh xperia play´s battery?
I think the battery life is one of the few flaws in this design. I think the battery life wont even be much more then a normal psp. So probably 3-4 hours of non-stop gaming will kill it. That would be a reason for me not to buy this devise.
It's quoted at 5 and a half hours of gaming time.
I had two units on demo 9-5 on Sunday, they were on 9 and 11% be the end, they didn't get any proper recharging, just being topped up a minute or two if there was a gap in people coming to play on them, otherwise they were in use nearly all the time.
So it seems pretty good.
I get around 5 hours of gaming, good enough for me!
my r800x i rooted it and took off all the verizon bloatware and random crap that was running im at 210 free of 300 whatever on the rom side and ive only used 100 mb of the internal memory
only thing i have is snes and n64 emulators and FPse the other day i did about 3 hrs of gaming it was at 100 percent when i started and after 3 hours of gaming i had 75 percent i was playing ff7 and goldeneye
i had wifi off bt off sync off and medium screen brightness only thing i turn on is the sync but i dont need it all the time
i ordered some batterys off of ebay lol i have a bad habit of getting drunk and getting on ebay lol
they should be here today see what happens it suppose to be 2 oem spec suppose to be oem spec but i shouldve known better and the wall plug you just sit the battery in there
1h play, ~20% battery cost with the lights on the powerful setting.
So I confirm, it's around 5 hours of uninterrupted gameplay.
5 hours of gaming might not seem like a lot on paper, but trust me, it's more than enough.
I think people need to remember that this is a phone first, gaming handheld second. For the majority of people, 90% of the day is not going to be spent gaming for continuous hours. I know for me, personally, I play Ocarina of Time on my breaks at work. A typical day for me has me going to work at about 9:10AM, phone's at near 100%. I'll use some WiFi here and there, sparingly throughout the day, and get about 45 mins to an hour of solid gaming in. At 6PM when I'm heading home, phone's anywhere from 70-80%, maybe less if I've been using data slightly more that day. Keep in mind, this is with sending probably 50ish texts throughout the day.
So I get home, I'll usually play for another hour or so more depending on what I'm doing. All in all, when I'm getting ready to go to sleep, my phone's usually at around 65%.
That is absolutely amazing battery life. Any time that I plan on gaming for more than 3 hours straight I make sure I've got an outlet nearby just in case - I carry my charger on my at all times (in a backpack/car/etc) like any reasonable person probably does.
TL;DR - best battery life I've ever seen on a phone that does what the Play does.
5 hours of gaming is what I get, and trust me I've never killed the battery during a normal day. The only time I actually kill it is when sitting at home, and at those times I'm near the charger anyway.
This phone has by far the best battery life of any smartphone I've used.

I agree that the Play's battery life is quite good, but I really have to say that it's not good enough when coupled with 3G usage. I have 3G on all the time, and usually if my day starts at 10am, (with occasional gaming) the Play will die at about 9pm with moderate gaming. That's really quite good, but I usually am not home at 9pm, so it sucks to have the battery go flat just when you are about to start boarding your bus back home.
I wish it could've been a little longer.
Here are a few things about the plays battery life.....
5.5 hours of gaming is really intense and I realistically wouldn't expect many people to actually play games for the whole 5 hours unless they were at home which in that case they will have their charger for the device.
Regarding the phone using 3G, the device will only chew up power if its constantly looking for 3G signal. If the device has a strong constant signal of 3G, it wont eat the battery as much at all.
Regarding rooting the phone to increase its battery life, ive heard and seen that it does actually improve the phones battery life but only slightly. I dont have mine rooted and thats alright by me
Lastly, my experiences with the xperia play's battery have been fantastic. Im getting 2-3 days usage with calls, texts and short gaming sessions.

That, and I'm not sure whether the case I'm using (TPU) supports the extended battery's size.
I'm not even sure whether there are white covers for extended battery covers.. And I live in Asia so shipping from the US is going to painful.

Mobile phones in 2000 were larger and heavier than 300g. Pockets have not changed at all
One didn't buy this phone for its sleekness and fitting his thin jeans, did he?
Vemoxy, you can order batteries and covers from aliexpress.com, they ship from Asia so the shipping fees should be lower. For example: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...i-X-pureness-Xperia-Play-Z1i-wholesalers.html
I notice that PSpocket doesn't drain alot of battery compared to emulators on MARKET.
Playing ff7 for an hour and about 13% lost

That's because the playstation pocket emulator was made by a team of Sony professionals, and not some dude on the internet.

I'd daresay it has a lot more to do with the fact that they have all the data about both the emulated console and the Xperia play. Random dudes in the internet do nit have those kinds of advantages...but still, they do a better job.
Try running Everybody's Golf both from FPSE and from the Market version and you'll find that FPSE renders a flawless emulation which the paid version does not. I know I got pissed off.
Long time no post!! I've still been using a Note 3 so haven't had the need to post since just about anything that can be done to my phone has been. Then the GF had to go a get a Samsung Gear, so I had to get something cool as well. Enter the LEMFO brand of watches that fit proportionately my 6'4" 260lb stature.
Cool watch with some cool features, but battery life is ****!!!! I fully charged it last night, played around a little this morning, installed YouTube and played like half a video to try the sound, then went about my day. By 5pm it was dead. Threw it on the charger while I'm at work, 30+ min later and it's fully charged again. It's not about 5hrs later and it's down to 34% percent. I realize these are kinda new to the marker still but I was still hoping that some advice could be thrown my way.
My ONLY reason to even buy it was because I was looking forward to having a poor mans sleep monitor to confirm my ****ty sleep, but at this rate, I'm going to have to have it fully charged before going to bed at 1am and I highly doubt it'll last through the night until I wake up around 8am. Advice for those who are more familiar with LEMFO or offbrand watched in general?
If you want to track your sleep you must buy an real tracker like Fitbit or Garmin. Almost all others brands are bad or very bad
GF's Samsung Gear seems to do a good job, heart rates read the same numbers switching between watches, so I figured it was just an app away.
I will say the battery life has gotten significantly better after the first day and it'll go a few days now without needing anything. I've made the habit of charging it while I shower now and it hasn't gotten close to dying yet. It received an update today but I don't know what it was for since I'm still on rev1.3.
