As we all know, the Galaxy S uses a Li-Po battery.
Having previous expirience with those batteries (R/C Helicopters), i know that they require 5-10 cycles of full drain-full charge to reach full capacity and start their normal life cycle.
Not too long ago, there was a thread complaining about battery life here, but i think it was due to people checking usage time on the first or second charge only.
In this thread, i'd like to hear your opinions about battery life, but please-
Only those who passed 5 FULL drain-charge cycles, reply. We need some objective information about it.
Personally-
I'm after my 4th charge, and already seeing HUGE improvement. When i recieved it i barely managed to go through a single day, and now i'm almost 2 days since i last charged it, played some games, browsed a little, made a few calls, and i'm still over 65%.
Waiting to do 2-3 more charges and reach optimal state to see what it's worth.
Mine is a Li-Ion and lasts about a day with almost constant use.

Li-ion? what the hell?
What battery did you get?
If it's a G7, it's Li-Po
My G7 is li-ion

my battery only lasted for aroudn 5 hours on second charge! is this normal?
any of you guys experiencing the temperature going high when inside your pocket? is this the battery or the phone heating up?

You are correct in that initially we were told the battery type would have been a Li-Pol.
However, since the phone's release it has now come to light that the battery is in fact a Li-Ion.
I made a post that mentions this here if you wish to have a read.
I’ve had my phone approx 2 weeks, so I’m on my 5 or 6th battery recharge. My phone has been on for 1 day 20hrs now. I’ve talked on the phone for about two hours and surfed for about ¾ of an hour. Wifi has been on all the time – Bluetooth about 3hrs. Current battery level is 70% - I must say after all the gloom and doom re the latest smartphones I’m more than happy with the battery life so far and does seem to be getting better all the time.
Wow this is too nice to read, I was starting to worry about my battery being wonky

In contrast I have had my phone since Thursday... I've charged it 4 times in 48 hours so far. I am using it a lot and am hoping I get thee performance rise soon.

I'm pretty sure it will.
When i got my phone i charged it to full, and before the day ended i needed to chrage it again.
And now:
Last charge was thursday morning (GMT+2), and now, after 2 and a half days, i still have 40%.
I could probably go on for another full day.
My first few charges barely made it through the working day, but now the phone still has plenty of charge after 24hours. Although right now is an exception, as the lady is playing Abduction on it and will probably keep at it until the battery dies
She really should get her own Galaxy S. Although we're waiting on some GPS improvements before replacing her phone, she cant afford to get lost.

Correct.... She's far too busy keeping me in check, looking after our Granddaughter and the Farm.
I got my replacement SGS today (had to send the original one back as Carphone Warehouse messed up the order so had to send everything back just to get a new SIM) and been hammering it for 14 hours, literally 80% of that running games, using WiFi, bluetooth and GPS and I only got it down to 25% and hadn't even charged it to 100% before I couldn't wait any longer. If the battery does get better after the initial charge, I will have no problem with this phone.
Further to my earlier post...
Charged the phone to full before bed last night... All of the power widget functions of two exchange email accounts and hotmail updating every hour.
So with no other use for 8 hours the battery was at 91% when I woke up. Battery status confirmed that 57% had gone on standby and 29 % on idle
So... Presuming this bsttery use is constant when idle... My phone will be down to 70 % by 24 hours with no use?
Crabby
It varies greatly according to reception.
Good network coverage= less work for the transceiver inside the device=less power drain.
It's not really constant.
Turning off 3G other than when you need it helps as well.

Is this something you do as routine? I don't know if I have the patience to do that.
And my signal was 5 bar edge signal for my 'test'.
Since this morning, I watched 90 mins of video, surfed for 10 mins and made a 5 minutes voice call on the train... By the time I got to work, the battery was at 53%.
I don't feel my phone will last my journey home at 6 tonight, so I have had to put it on charge again.
But still... on 3 days old...

Should be a lot better. Z3500 series' Silvermont has a newer manufacturing process, tri-gate processor design, out-of-order architecture, and it's designed to work on Android from the ground up (previous Z2500 series' Saltwell was ye olde Atom for PCs, slightly redesigned and limited to 32-bit, not even die-shrinked).
Lollipop's ARK has x86 support (JIT is gone along with Dalvik) so that should mean the processor will require less real-time code translation. Also, I've had experience with Silvermont cores on ASUS' MeMo Pad series, they last considerably longer, even if you consider the larger battery.
Bump : as device is released, can please anyone share battery stats and review ? also confirm your model plz (1.8 or 2.3)
I've been using the new zenfone 2 1.8Ghz, 2GbRam with 32gb of storage for a couple of days now and battery life is exceptional compared to my zenfone 6 (previous Gen 6inch screen). My last charge was 24hrs ago and I'm at 65% this is using LTE, which the previous Gen did not support. I'm also running a corporate email account using Touchdown and MobileIron device both of which are a bit heavy on battery.
The phone BTW is buttery smooth running 5.0.

It would help if you post actual battery stats like SOT because any device can last over 24hrs depending in the usage (my Lumia 520 lasts forever playing music). Your phone could have an uptime of 30hrs but screen-on time of 1hr, which is bad.
Sent From Capsule Corp.
I'm no expert on posting stats out of an Android phone...I'm more a user then anything else. I can say that I'm a business user and on email via my phone most of the day. My anecdotal experience is starting my day at 6am my zenfone 6 is regularly at 30% by 8pm. Decent battery life in my opinion. However the zenfone 2 I'm currently over 30 hours and still over 60%. For me that's more then out of any phone I've ever owned.
If you go to battery status page (I don't know where it is in ZenUI but probably under settings) and scroll down until you see "screen" you should see a "use details" that says "Time on" and a number. That's SOT (screen on time). I suppose we'd all be curious to see what your screen on time is at the end of the day, but if it's lasting significantly longer than your last phone that's certainly a good sign. Are you using one SIM or two?
ah...screen on time... I should have known what that was. I'm showing right now 2hours 49 minutes of SOT and I've been on it steady last 30 to 40 minutes. I'm now at 50% battery. I'll let it run down to nothing during the day tomorrow.
Charging was also quite fast. When I received it, there was around 20% charge remaining. Took a little bit more the an hour to hit 100% but I didnt time it...just an approximation.

You can screenshot by pressing power and volume down at the same time and holding for a few seconds (have to time it right) or volume down and home.

Ooooh, it charged that fast with the OEM charger or another one? If it's the one it came with, then that means it already has native fast-charging after all! Glad you confirmed this, and yes please screenshot your battery stats.

Yep the charger that comes with it is rated [email protected] and [email protected] my last full charge was with the charger that came in the box. It also seems to quick charge with my QC2.0 charger but haven't done a full cycle with that one....I'll try it today when it finally runs out of juice.

OK, I took a screenshot this morning. I'll caveat that I had to tether to my laptop last night for a bit so I have a a charge spike. I can't say for how long...I was a bit stressed and didn't think of logging time. So results are now skewed. I was on email & Skype a lot after that and a bit over night. As I'm posting I'm at 27% remaining and SOT of 4hours 31minutes.
In response to beastofexmoor:
I'm using one sim currently....I really only use 2 when I'm on travel. SIMs are bit different compared the original zenfone. My zenfone 6 had SIM slots that could both be set up for data (3G 42Mbps type), however only one could be handle data at any given time. It was nice as I never had to remove my home carrier SIM from it's slot so no fear of damaging the sim slot of dropping my SIM at any airport mobile counter. You just had to direct the phone to use SIM slot 1 or 2 for data...genius in my opinion.
For the zenfone 2 only SIM slot 1 handles data (3G/LTE(4G)). Slot is 2G only. I guess they had to cut a bit of cost somewhere.

Might be getting the one with the Z3580 soon
As the title states, I might be getting the one with the Z3580 soon. couple of days soon (hopefully tomorrow though). I'm not sure if any confusion might've developed after reading an article on BGR. I bought the 1080p model with 4GB of RAM but 32GB of storage. According to the BGR article, that model doesn't exist and only comes with the Z3560. If it is the model that I want I will post some usage data on that. There isn't much info on this phone so I'll be a guinea pig and post what I find.

All the reading I've done says it's the Z3580.
Just wanted to post my final battery stats....forgot to get the a screenshot of my SOT but it was 5H39M when my phone hit 9% and nearly 2 days of run time. I'm more then happy with this performance. [email protected], 1080P screen.
Once the battery was depleted, I charged using an Aukey Quick Charger (QC2.00 charger) just to see if the phone is compatible with some of the Qualcomm specs.
11:19AM ......9%
12:02PM.....69%
12:19PM......82%
1:03PM.......99% had to head off to a meeting so I couldn't get it 100%
Screen grabs attached.
hello everyone, I'm a new note owner, I bought it used and I think it has two years on it, but it is in great shape. I noticed however, that the battery life isn't that amazing as people have told me, this coming from a Galaxy alpha user. I will leave screenshots of today's battery life and I think it isn't that amazing what it got
I've heard about battery miscalibration, is this really a thing? I can try and calibrated but I need to root it, & I wasn't really looking forward to reading it, since its lollipop on stock rom.
The screenshots are bellow of screen on time and total time, you can see that it's not consistent and I charge my phone two times a day.
http://imgur.com/a/ShaLI
I'm using lollipop official rom flashed on Odin via download mode, yes the rom is compatible with my country's frequencies so there's not really a problem there.
I notice however that the battery sort of goes down faster sometimes more than others, sometimes even going as far as draining 10% simply being on stand-by with LTE enabled for 2 hours in my pocket when I'm in class.
Is this normal behavior?
I don't think there is any such thing called miscalibration, I mean I am not sure, but well.
If your phone is 2 years old, then I think the battery has seen its life, time to get a new one mate.
Battery recalibrates itself .
However as the battery is old then Drain the battery to 5% power off charge fully unplug wait one hour top up charge and use .
Next step is new battery Anker brand is good .
Wiping battery stats/ supposed calibration has nothing to do with battery calibration and will make no difference .
Lithium-ion batteries last about 300-500 charging cycles, after that the risk of it dying increases exponentially. Some last 5 years, some 1. It depends on usage and environmental factors.
There is no such thing as recalibrating a modern lithium ion battery. It doesn't have a memory.
New battery costs about 20 quid, it should solve the problem.
Also, did you do a reset after the update? Updates can cause battery drain too, quite often.

No, I did not do a reset after the update. But I noticed this before updating to lollipop, I had to do some running around before I got home the day I bought it, and it was running KitKat 4.4. I got it with 93% of battery, walked home for a bit and was down to 65, went to the shopping and back, got home with 40 to 35%. (I bought the phone at around 5 pm and finally got home after going to the mall at around 8pm)

Hey guys
I've had my Sony Xperia Z3 for just over a year now and im considering my next phone purchase. I really enticed by purchasing a S6 Edge+ HOWEVER battery life is the only thing stopping me.
The Z3 battery life easily lasts for two days without me ever worrying about the battery life. I know Lollipop has a mobile radio bug in it which would effect the edge plus but im wondering would two days use ever be possible on the Edge+? I normally get around 6 hours SOT over two days with my Z3 and don't want to be let down too much with my next phone.
I have the same situation... just came from a Z3. Got my edge+ a week ago and, tbh, batt life is way worse, but I am starting to think that I have a faulty cellphone. I am getting around 10h of batt, even after debloating it and using Pixel OFF.
otoh, there are lots of threads running right now, discussing batt life and most people say that it is pretty good.
It's been 5 nights and I complsin it drains 1% per hour.

Edit: sorry, wrong math. I am getting 10% an hour. I am getting 10h of batt per day on avg 1% an hour would be wonderland for me.
Hold on, I am talking about overnight drain, when phone is idle for 6 hours, screen off, only side clock, 4g wifi location sync on

Hmm so you basically only get a day's use of the phone on average?
It depends how I use it...
Can't tell as my usage is not regular
For sure not 10% per hour with a normal use
But I'm 90% debloated
i find it good, im not yet rooted but after i am whenever i can manage to actually do it i estimate it will be even better, but in general it's all about your usage, you'll definitely get a day out of medium/heavy usage.
do yourself a favor and buy a Aukey plus, ultra fast charging.

I also had Z3 and lasting morning to evening looks pretty much the same, on both i was getting around 5-6h SOT. But considering 2 days Z3 will also give around 5h+ SOT, but Edge+ idk maybe around 3-4h because of how much standby drains the battery.

I think the biggest idle killer is the mobile radio bug in lollipop, as there is no KK for the S6 Edge plus, looks like im going to stick with the Z3 for now till Marshmellow comes out.
I have more than 5 hours sot and almost 2 days without charging and 19% left. I''m very satisfied. Stock and root is pretty the same.
WhatsApp, candy crush, Internet, YouTube and more of that stuff. Imo no need to worry about battery.
2 days for me too. Wifi on all the time, Screen contrast automatic, Bluetouth off all the time (I don't use it for the moment), Some settings here and there I found in various articles (like smart network off, I use the RAM tools to automatically shot-down most of the apps...)
One day
One day ( 16 hours , By night battery down to 10 %)with normal usage. SOT around 5 hours.
BT off all time. 4g around 7 hours , Rest on Wifi.

Wow really? im shocked i havent read that was possible in any reviews i've seen. Could you provide screenshots of your battery stats? If two days is realistic and easy to achieve then i may possible jump to the Edge plus boat.
Mine wont even last 6 hours without draining. Bluetooth on, 4G on, backlight on auto. What's the point in having a high tech phone if you stunt it's features? I just charge at least twice or thrice a day but admittedly, I do miss the battery life of my last phone (iphone 6 plus) coz it really could last a whole day with the same features on.

I dont think i will ever see 2 days. I use Bluetooth all day (synced to my Gear S), GPS is always on, autobrightness, etc. I can get through one day for sure, maybe half of the next day, but thats about it. Thats not using any kind of powersaving modes either. Its as good, or better than my note 4 with NONE of the damn problems (camera and HORRIBLE GPS), so i'll take it. Plus i have quick chargers everywhere...home, car, and an extra one.
I was very nervous switching to a sealed battery and no SD card support, but the 64gb is fine and the battery charges SUPER f'in quick
Hello all! Recently purchased a OnePlus 7t pro Mclaren 5g from T-Mobile. Everything seems great but the battery life has been terrible. I've even reset the phone to start from scratch with apps but same results. Today, I tried shutting off the 5G and limiting signal to LTE and that has improved the battery life significantly. I see a few people have reported similar issues. My greatest concern is that with waiting for an update from T-Mobile, since it is carrier released, I may get stuck with this phone and 5G is pointless. Thoughts?

Yes. I noticed the same thing. Very odd for a 4000mah battery! I haven't rooted yet, so I haven't messed with anything yet really. However, greenify made a night and day difference. Now it's better. But of course, with root you can get very good battery life. My old phone, for example, is a pixel 2 XL. And I haven't used it much since I got the OnePlus, but even in standby mostly it's at 74% right now. Hasn't been charged since Sunday night.

Also came from the Pixel 2XL. Didn't root that one bc I never felt like I needed to with constant OTAs. Now I am not sure what's up with this phone... I'll try greenify and see.
battery is really bad on this phone. Coming from iPhone XS and Note 9, this phone seems like dead by end of day.
One thing I can't understand is why battery apps are showing 3300mAh. while specs for phone says 4086mAh.
I tried with two battery apps both showing 3300mAh
Definitely noticed a much bigger drain than the 7 Pro I had

Yeah I see the same thing. I checked with a bunch of apps and all of them report 3300mAh. Except for CPU-Z...which reports 3520mAh. And that's still wrong. Hmmmm...maybe the function these apps use to check needs updating.
Hi all, I'm seeing horrible battery life as well. No social media usage just forums and reddit stuff. I'll try to limit it to 4glte and add greenify to see if that helps.

Root your phone's get custom kernel on there, I'm getting about 3½ hours sot at 50% I'm happy with that ??
Took my phone off the charger at 7am this morning. I turned the 5G off last night so I can test a full day with only 4G. The phone lasted much longer but still not great.

Some times I wonder is it really 4000mAh or just 3300

It's 4000 Jerry rigs or what ever his name is ripped it apart
I can eat get 6 hours sot
The last 3 days I've tried different things after getting horrible battery life:
Day 1, 5G on, on cellular most of the day = 4.5 hours SoT
Day 2, 5G on, on WiFi most of the day = 7.5 hours SoT
Day 3, 5G off, on LTE most of the day = 6 hours SoT

I'm doing the same. No 5G use seems to help but I'm still not getting much better than 2 1/2 hr screen time. I've tried turning off RAM boost today
same here man, im waiting for january to get my sim code so i can root it and go from there, battery has been horrible but from what i see i get more battery on screen time than screen off
I too am getting horrible battery life and the same 3300mAh being reported by battery apps. I manually set the capacity to 4085 and now the app is saying the battery life capacity is at 91%... on a new phone! lol Really hope it's a bug and that it'll be fixed
I've been seeing the same thing on my end.. Keep in mind that when you have the band selection set to 5g (see screenshot) you will see increased battery drain since it's always searching for that battery draining slow ass 5g signal. If you are on 5g, you will also see increased battery drain (think back to when LTE first launched.) Personally, I keep mine on LTE until they increase the signal and tower upgrades/build outs so my phone isn't floating onto 5g for a mile then back on LTE. And before anyone brings up the fact that Tmos 5G is technically a higher band LTE signal, I'm well aware ?
My concern is not my drainage during the day, it's when I had it off the charger last night with WiFi on and it drained about 10-15% over 6 hours . Granted I had it on the higher frequency of my WiFi. So will that frequency drain it fast? Should I switch to 2.4 when sleeping of it's not charging?

No. It doesn't matter what frequency you're on. My pixel 2 XL would be connected to the 5ghz band, and would probably not even lose 1% over 6 hours in standby.
