Rooting doesn't effect battery life.

You went down 13% in 4 mins -________-. Go exchange your phone, lmao. Or turn off 3G, Accounts & Sync, turn off brightness, and install JuiceDefender. See if that makes a difference. My phone goes down 1% in about 2 hours...
mine barley lasts until evening when I plug it back in... but thats just how these phones are. 1% in 2 hours is very unlikely unless you just don't use it and have everything disabled.
Rooting your phone alone has no advert consequences on your phone's battery life. What you do on your phone does

So you go 200 hours between charging? I find it hard to believe that you only need to plug it in every 8 days.

indeed what a troll
Just turning off push email/notifications can have a significant effect on battery run time. I doubled my run time by putting some reasonable settings on my sync intervals.
I refresh my exchange account every 15 mins during peak-time ( 1 hour off-peak ), Tweetdeck every 2 hours, all other accounts hourly. With moderate use I have no problem going 24 hours on a single charge.
Also be on the lookout for misbehaving apps. I had a single dormant streaming app sitting in the background using over 10% of my battery. I kill that app manually after every use.

As it's being said before, if you do not use your device you get excellent battery life out of it - might as well have a painted brick on your desk.
Mine lasts a bit more than half a day, but I use mu phone a lot for streaming, texting, browsing, a game sometimes. I think it is about average, I wouldn't sweat it. Still beats my old.nexus one in battery life

My battery last about 24hrs on average. I bought extra batteries and I have run each of them until they hit 1% and then I use and external battery charger, bought of of ebay, came with 2 batteries and a charger for them for 14 bucks, and i do have certian things i do that drain more than others, but for instance i watch a 2 hour movie, and started with a fresh battery, (99%) and when the movie was over I was at 73%, much better than when i first got my phone, but i also still use advance task manager which everyone says is bad for the phone, but i just use it and exempt everything that is used for normal operations, then it only kills the apps i have used and want to kill. now the settings does allow you to do this by each app, but i am just lazy and paid for the app back on my G1 days and it makes killing them in widget form so one click. i just tried to exclude all the things that the phone uses to operate smoothly, and kill the rest of the garbage apps, also you can try a program autostarts, i have it as it suggested it in the app forum sticky, costs a buck, but i used it, not sure how much it helps, but like i said all I have done and how i use all of my battery each and every use now gives me outstanding battery life. No 8 days or anything but still tons better than my G1 and i didn't keep much running like i do on this one. Also turn off auto brightness, and just use the slide if you need to turn it up, dont use live wallpapers and turn it to use 2g only, and then when you need the 3g turn that back on, there is widgets to get for that so its a one click as 3g really drains the battery, so when not in use go to 2g if your not surfing the web or wacthing videos off a site, doing those things will help the life of your battery.

That just means that your while your phone was turned on, 74 percent of the total power was used by your display.
Makes sense because you turned your screen on for about 74% of the time.
Try running fix permissions from clockwork. I recently got a boost in power & battery life from doing eugenes v6 mod and the suggested lag.

What is your brightness setting?

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Auto mainly but i adjust sometimes upwards, as ICS auto brightness can be a bit too dark for me sometimes.
I turn wifi, gps off when im not using it, NFC is off if that makes a difference. 3g is on always. Nothing special, I just "use it" as I normally would.
I think 2 days and 8 hours is pretty good going?

No idea feel free to ask me specific questions!
what apps have you used in this 2+ day period?? games? streaming video? web-browsing? These are the most common uses and they are also the biggest battery killers. I'm sure if I had my phone in airplane mode & barely used it at all I could get better battery life than that. Please give us more details on the specific apps, etc. you ran in this period (to the best of your memory, of course )

Hmm probably only an hours worth of "apparatus" - game, good couple of hours on google reader, facebook etc. no more than an hour on the phone.
my "normal" usage really; not trying to be overly conservative, but also not constantly on. certainly nothing to suggest that I'm getting any worse battery life than I did on 2.3.x
Next time you get this kind of usage from a full charge down to zero let us know your screen on time please.

Battery life stats don't mean much if you don't really use the phone for those 2 days. I'm at 16hours with 66percent left.

Here's mine. A day and half. Similar battery performance with GB even though that Android OS is way too high (higher than Screen)
Yes; that Android OS' looks like a statistic and therefore has a 87.8% chance of being made up on the spot (like that one!).
This is a sample of my battery life and quite unusual for me; Mobile Standby is the highest because I spent five or so hours in an area with very poor coverage, when it could get a signal it was 2G.
Wifi is on when I know I have a hotspot I can use. AutoSync off unless I need it. Bluetooth wasn't used. Screen brightness mostly at the minimum with some time at Auto. Latitude constantly running in automatic update.
Screen on time was 2 hours, 30 minutes and that included approximately 20 minutes of Google Maps (not Navigation).
The biggest difference I've made on my device is to log out of Google+. My use is mostly checking two Gmail accounts, browsing the web, using DropBox / Documents-to-Go, texting, some photography.
Disabling Latitude's AutoUpdate stops the device from waking up with the screen off (all those little blue ticks on the use bar) and makes a big difference to battery life when I'm on the move.
How can you guys take screenshot on stock?
Hold down power and vol. down simultaneously for a second or two for a screenshot.
Also, nice battery life. I've been running about a day with ~50% left, 2 hours of screen time and somewhere around 30 - 45mins gaming. WiFi on all day and calls/texting was minimal.

I found juice defender in the past to be a battery problem instead of a solution.
what's your battery now? how much juice do you get?
I think that anyone who experiences bad battery life should exchange their phone or battery. I can go two days without recharging and still have 29 % left. That 29 % might even last me through the 3rd day but I would prefer not to risk it.
I did a little test today.
I unplugged the phone at 7am when i got up.
I only turned it on for a couple of seconds, twice, to check battery level, and it had gone down to 75% by 9am. (so by 9am, no more than 1 minute max screen-on time)
Is that worse that others?
My battery does (like everyone else's) immediately drop to 99% on unplugging it - actually, sometimes 98% right away.
I'm surprised anyone gets more than a day's worth out of it?
I also noticed, when it was on my desk, that the screen switches on, on it's own every now & then. Maybe every half hour or so?
Is that also normal?
I'm having a bit of trouble with my battery aswell. I only have 54% left with only 1h15 screen on time and that was only for some texting and browsing.
Is this normal or should I go back to he store to check the battery?
Also, should I try the free version of Juice Defender or is it not worth to use it unless you have the paid version?

Dropping 25% in 2 hours time with a display on time of 1 minute is definitely much more drain than normal. My phone usually drops around 2-3% per hour if it's unused on my desk.
I also find it weird that your display switches on every now and then by itself.
You have a lot of apps that poll the net for data in the background? (facebook, twitter and so on)
Are you on wifi when this happens, or mobile data?
Try turning off sync altogether some day and see how much it drains your battery per hour.
Hi all ,
Today is my 1st day with new s3 bought yest. night and coming from s2,
My s3 was full charged this morning, and after abt 12 hrs of normal use ( some calls + facebook + whatsapp + viber . . . . . ) battery level is 60%.
I think that by this way new s3 battery will stay normally 2 days . . .
If people are experiencing high battery usage its because of your apps. All battery saving apps do is turn off your data or tweak your syncing.
On wi-fi with no much syncing, you should get about 1-2% drain per hour. On mobile date this goes up to about 2-4% per hour.
Tips for battery save.
- Switch off Google Back up & restore
- Accounts and sync, switch off what you don't need
- Email exchange accounts can be set with a "off-peak syncing"
- Be thorough with news and local based apps. Turn off auto syncing or reduce the frequency in which they sync.
- A good way to check which apps are using data when idle is by going into settings > Data usage. When you click on any of the apps listed, it will show how much data is used in fore/back ground. The ones with high background usage you might want to investigate. You can also disable the app from using data in he background by setting yourself a data limit
- Apps like Facebook, Google+ are battery hogs. So if you don't need it, uninstall.
My battery is awesome so far. 2 days with normal use and 3.5-4 days of light use...
Why does the a battery need to last two days? Can't you charge it over night?

It really depends on your usage. Screen on time tells something, but not everything. For example watching a hd-video eats far less battery than surfing on the internet with 3g. But still, the battery life is great, so no disagreement there.
My battery so far so good
Standard, not too heavy, day by day usage
One thing not mentioned so far is wi-fi. If you are connecting to a 'dodgy' router, this is going to eat into battery life. So if you aren't using it, switch it off.

I just got this phone, instantly updated to jellybean, still did a factory reset to help with little issues that happen sometimes on android updates ... and the battery life is terrible. Nothing at all like everyone is bragging about. I even made a lot of smart actions to try to help (i.e. put in airplane mode when I'm not using it, 4g off when wifi on, background data only when using phone, etc.).
I'm getting around 2h and 45 min of screen on time. And it still loses around 12-15% overnight with airplane mode on. No apps downloaded or settings synced from account.
Are there other things I could check?
Facebook freezing and FC constantly too.

Seeing you had 2-3 hrs on screen time, its no wonder the battery is dying on you. At first I found the battery life ok, would get through the day, but as I used it more the battery seemed to settle and now get 2 days a charge...BUT as with everything concerning battery this is relative.
I don't sync pretty much anything. I don't sync gmail, facebook, etc...which i know do take up substantial battery life. One thing I've found with this phone from using CPU Spy (app), is that when it goes into deep sleep, it really uses no battery power...I mean NONE! The other day at work it was just sitting on my desk doing nothing for 3 hours and went from 90% at 9am to 90% at 12 noon.
Battery is great on this phone...

I've had this phone for about a month now and my battery life is incredible. Better than I ever expected. I'm getting 2 full work days out of a single charge. I can suggest an app that I'm convinced works very well for Motorola's as this is the second one I've had. 2x battery saver seems to work better than juice defender. Cutting off background data when the phone is idle will help out a lot and that app does that very well. Smartactions should also be kept to a minimum. My phone uses virtually no battery when it is idle. If you play around on the internet a lot then its gonna drain your battery. For mostly talking and texting, its great.
Same problem but it does get resloved
When I got my razr m it had the same battery problem, but with time it will start holding more of a charge. It takes roughly month, and now i'm getting two days easily with it.
Yep. The battery here is unbelievable. I used ~1gb data, about an hour of calls and a few games for bout 30 min or so. Oh and some music. About 1.5 hours to charge and 2 days battery. Best battery life I have seen since the Nokia 1700 with net ten. Really. Its that good.
And I mean straight out the box. I bought it on Thursday last week and charged it maybe 3 times.
Charged it on Tue at 830 or so till bout 10 central standard time. I got 35% right now. I'm TRYING to kill it before I go to bed. I'm not very optimistic. Outstanding battery. Shoot, unheard of. 4.1.1
Oh and PS. I ain't rooted it yet either.

To speed the settling in process.
Use the phone unit it dies. And then Charge it fully with no interruptions. Dont unplug and replug.
I had 4 of these going through my place now.
My girls, Mines and 2 from friends.
My girl's was settled in well when we received it already.
Mines took 1 week to settle in. My 2 friends took 1 weeks with that Calibration process and the other took 4 weeks of normal usage.
The phones battery is a monster !!!
2 hours worth of phone calls Screen is on time 3 hours, 16h wifi, I am at 40% and been off the charger for 17 hours.
The battery on this thing is great! One thing Motorola does better than any other manufacturer. I'm getting all weekend off a charge as my phone pretty much runs off wireless

The i is more efficient when using it acctionally by 5%
Heavy usage the M is by 3% better, at conserving battery but the i is faster on heavy usage on large application
I have to get the screen shots we got few weeks ago.
Also the i tends to suck more power on some apps due to the emulation. But is not slower in anyway.
They are marginally almost the same.
Its just where u need the Processing power to be.
Heavy need of processing power the i is very competitive on single 3D apps
Need 100% compatibility with the apps store use the M with its ARM CPU
1.5 ARM Dual core or 2.0 Hyper Thread Single Core
I'm getting AMAZING battery life on my RAZR M. I get through the entire work day (lots of voice calls, wifi usage, bluetooth, maybe 1.5 hrs of screen time total) and still have about 35% remaining before I go to bed (about 15 hrs of usage). I even try to kill the battery by watching videos at home, putting the screen brightness on 100%, still havent managed to kill the battery.
So far very impressed with this phone, especially compared with my old Galaxy SII on TMobile

I've got rule in SmartActions.
If screen off - then turn off mobile data.
My Note 3 seems to be able to get only 4-5 hours of screen time while on 4G. Using Wi-Fi doesn't improve the battery life much either.
My brightness is set to auto and mostly used indoors. I've also used set cpu to limit cup usage to 960 mhz, installed greenify but nothing seems to help. Mostly surfing the web, fb, Twitter etc
I felt that I got better battery life out of it during the first week of my purchase 3 weeks ago. But ever since last week it's been getting bad.
Any ideas why?

Although the Note 3 is a beast of a phone..all the functions that it has are also battery hogs.. what you dont need to use frequently, can be turned off with the factory toggles..
things like air gesture, command, motions, (turning power sav mode on) wifi off, live wallpapers, lookout antivirus, and if you press the 3 line icon at top right, there are 20 functions that can potentially drain battery..nfc, air view, smart stay..etc.. also, try battery doctor app to help control additional consumption. Turn the fucntions on only as needed..
OR- Get an extended battery or just a battery like mugen or zero lemon battery..with extra power within same parameters, similar dimensions. etc. hope this helps. REMEMBER - like a cop car, that has all those lights, radios, laptop- they run a bigger battery AND a huge alternator.
I have all the fancy system apps and features already disabled with root app delete. What's weird is it happens when I'm doing basic web brwosing.
The battery also seems to be draining at 1% per hour while the screen is turned off, is this supposed to happen?
Or could it be a faulty battery?

Use juice defender to turn off data when your phone is not being used (deep sleep), use this as a temporary measure I would say while u use the various battery stats monitoring tools to find the actual culprit.
Sounds like an app issue. Have you installed any new apps recently that may coincide with the sudden poor battery performance? I don't use any power saving apps and leave all my Samsung features enabled and still get over a full day's worth of use.
Are you in a poor reception area? Perhaps you should consider a factory reset. If that doesn't change anything, exchange your device for a new one.

How is that a problem
Are you saying that if you left your phone fully charged and didnt touch it. It would last over 4 days
and you think this is bad battery life
Many many factors can cause battery drain apps you use sync of apps,signal strength,brightness,sensors,google now,s-voice etc.
themes you use
Using black themes will use less battery because an led display will turn off the black areas of the screen etc which is how it achieves the best black contrasts.
I myself have the same use 4-5 hrs of on screen battery which i find great as i can take my phone and use it all day without a problem
people who have 7-8 hrs of on screen time per day on there phone should really seek counselling or go to AA meetings as you have a problem
As to disabling features of the phone Buying a smartphone and disabling all the features that make it a smart phone is pretty pointless if you ask me
It's been the same for me. The first couple of weeks I had the phone the battery was amazing. I could last 2 days easily with heavy usage. I'd say since the most recent update I had on this phone the battery life has been draining significantly faster. I now have to charge my phone each night as it is always hovering around 30%
Do you guys think the update has anything to do with this issue?

The biggest battery hog I've ever seen is facebook. Particularly, its auto sync. Kill that and try again.
