In the interest of branching out of the main thread, I thought I'd start a thread regarding battery life- how many hours are you guys getting? For those who have somewhat decent battery life, what tweaks/settings are you using?
I went and disabled background data syncing hoping this would at least help improve battery life only to find that even idle (with no real use at all), this thing eats battery like there is no tomorrow.
I think with super light usage the most I've gotten is about 4-5 hours. There HAS to be a way to improve on this. I can never walk around without my charger in my bag- that is just crazy.
So any ideas or suggestions would be great! (By the way, I'm running Dexter's latest rom on top of eLocity's official firmware update).
I'm posting 4 hours 54 minute uptime right now with a quick 10 minute game of fruit slice, light to moderate web browsing, and moderate to heavy instant messaging. I have 29% battery left.
I generally set my apps to sync no more frequently than 30 minutes at the least. I turn the screen off when I walk away to do something. Other than that the tablet stays running on my couch side all day.
I have also seen it go for days on standby mode without going dead. I'm happy with the battery life. My Archos isn't much better, and is much less powerful of a device.
I'm also on ElociMod (which is based off the newest firmware... )
cant get more than 4 hours no matter what i do. running dexter's modc
We might be able to help the battery life using some clever tricks with SetCPU. I know it helped on my Pandigital Novel, and 2/3 on that device was used to power the screen, as opposed to ~1/3 for the processor. I'm gonna guess it might be the complete opposite of that on the A7.

I don't think SetCPU works on the A7 or any other Tegra2 at least not yet.

It doesn't... it will FC.
CPU Tuner installs and runs. It shows a min of 260 MHz and a max of 1000 MHz, and it has profiles based on battery charge. I just installed it, so I don't know what to expect.
I wanted to resurrect this thread and post my experience with A7 battery life.
I am running Dexter 1.2, brightness at 35%, WiFi always on, Bluetooth mostly off, screen timeout at 2 minutes. Syncing three mail accounts, weather and Google calendar. Limited or no background syncing of other apps.
My typical day with the device consists of;
a full charge in the morning
3 to 4 hours of standby time
30-45 minutes of web use
another 3 to 4 hours of standby
3 to 4 hours of heavy web, texting, reading, and games
I place the A7 back on the charger at night and it usually has about 20%-25% charge left.
I figure I am getting about 4-5 hours of use and close to 8 hours of standby each day fairly easily.
This battery life is very comparable to my Droid 2 Global.
The ipad battery has more than 4 times the capacity of the A7, but only twice the run time.
Hi all
Here in UK We still waiting for TAB 10.1
very confused between ipad2 or this one
after a lot of reading I've made my decision to buy this one, but the only thing I really want to know is the battery life for this one as it is very important for me
( doing a lot of travelling long distances on the plane)
Engadget said that its battery lasted above 8 Hours of video loop while others said it lasted just above 5 hours.
I know that the Tab cannot beat the Ipad2 when it comes to Battery, but I am still buying the tab10.1 if its battery lasts 1 or 2 hours less than the apple product.
Could you please -who own this item- let me know how the battery life is?
Many Thanks
i just received mine the other day. i let it charge overnight.
i then used it for just about 9.5 to 10 hours and plugged it in when the
battery meter was at 15%.
the battery life is excellent !
it really depends what you are doing on it. I use it throughout the day but primarily while at work to keep my sanity (I work overnights). I watch loads of HD youtube videos and the browser since my office thought it was cool to put website blocks and disable flash (for youtube blocking) so to see videos on sites or actually see full sites the tablet is crucial. I tether the wifi from my HTC Thunderbolt for access. I do also play some games. I can get through my 8 hour day with about 50%
Edit
based on pandamaja's response below, I didnt actually touch the screen brightness so that means it is working harder to auto adjust itself according to the brightness it is in
Battery life so far has been excellent. I don't travel as much as I used to, but I can see this thing lasting for a good while. Like others have mentioned, it depends on usage.
The display is going to be the single largest battery drain. I'm not sure about the 'others' tests, but the tests done by engadget and apple are done with the display brightness set at 50% I believe.
I've been very impressed with the battery life so far. My Evo basically lives next to a charger. Before I went to bed last night I considered not even charging the tab.
So far so good for me. I haven't timed it but I have been using the tab on and off for a couple for days before needing to charge it.
I do keep the brightness level pretty low.
I have had my tablet on since I bought the device. I charged it for an hour after playing with it, and have watched 3 hours of TV shows, and when I have not been using it, it has been idling (for 4-5 days). The battery was at 37% when I finally plugged it in last night. This tablet's battery life is the best battery life of any device I've ever owned.
pretty much been having the same experience as everyone here. i've gone through 2 days without charging (currently at 47%), and this is with browsing the internet, watching videos, and playing games. depends on the display brightness and usage. i have mine set at about 50%, as i find that plenty sufficient.. this panel gets bright. the tab also holds charge real well when in standby.
Thanks for that, very helpful
any one has set it on video loop with reasonable brightness (50% i guess good)?
How long can u get?
the reason I am asking because I am flying quite regularly to mexico ( 10 hours) and mostly watching movies
any help very much appreciated
Many Thanks
how did samsung even manage to squeeze that amount of juice in?

Hey OP
I believe that most reviews for the tab says it can play ~10 hours of video using 65-70% brightness. I've read at least 5 reviews having similarly result. Only one review got 5 hours of video. I would doubt that review.
FYI, the ipad2 gets 10.5 hours under 70% brightness playing video.
I got my tab yesterday. I played video for about 2-3 hours, using 70% brightness, and baterry went down ~30%. I would say a 10 hour video playback seems to be correct.
A couple of weeks ago, I posted here about the strange battery level fluctuations that my Nexus 4 was experiencing. Based on the feedback I received, I decided to RMA my phone, and I received the replacement last week. The battery life wasn't too bad initially, but over the past few days, it's taken a nosedive.
Today, I used it to look up reviews on a book I was reading at Barnes & Noble. 10 minutes of screen-on time dropped the battery life to 88%. After I took a few screenshots to show you guys, the battery jumped down to 85%. You can watch it happen by viewing the shots in order. My ~12 total minutes of onscreen time today have resulted in a 15% drain, and that's pathetic.
I'm running XenonHD 9 with Faux's latest beta kernel. GPU is running at stock frequency; CPU steps are undervolted by -150 across the board. CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats reveal absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
I just don't seem to be able to get the Nexus 4's battery life under control. Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong?

As I can see from your screen shots, your phone has been of the charger for over 7 hours....battery drains even when your phone idles because does background processes.Sometimes battery doesn`t show that drain until you wake up your phone and do something with it! Your phone is fine, it doesn`t have battery drain
Yeah, I get that background processes are always running, but not even my Galaxy Nexus was this bad. I went to a graduation event over the weekend, and an hour of on-screen time dropped me to 58%. If I had kept going, I wouldn't have even come close to getting 3 hours, which some people have touted as a baseline measurement.
Oh well. I bought a Nexus 4 as a holdover until something actually good comes out, so I guess I'll just have to get used to this. If LG makes the next Nexus, I'm buying something else.

Try a new kernel. Trinity was amazing for me then updates destroyed my battery life. Now it's amazingn on Franco
I've noticed a gradual decline in battery life on mine as well. Completely unrooted stock.
Initially I was getting over a day easy with about 2.5 - 3 hours SOT, now I get 12-14 hours. Same exact usage.
The only thing that has changed for me since I bought it was the new updates to all the Google services ever since IO. That's when I started noticing the difference. I don't have concrete evidence that it's the cause, but I strongly suspect it is.

This is the full review, complementing their min-review posted in July.
The original Nexus 7 gave us a decent Android experience at a very low cost. This year ASUS and Google raised the bar for sure. The new Nexus 7 is no longer just a decent tablet at a good price, it's an incredible tablet. With this Nexus, it's clear that Google no longer wants to rely on value alone. The 2013 Nexus 7 redefines what you should expect to pay for a truly great tablet. If you're in the market for an ultra portable tablet, and definitely if you're shopping for an Android tablet in particular, the new Nexus 7 should be at the top of your list. It's so good that I'm giving it our Silver Award.

Here is a key point in Nexus 7 2013 battery life testing:
N7 2013's max brightness is significantly brighter than any other tablet's max in the market, over 86% brighter than N7 2012, 54% brighter than Ipad mini, 43% brighter than Ipad 4. If you run all of them at max brightness then N7 will have less battery life. But if you run all of them at the same brightness such as 200nits, here is the result.
We'll start out with our WiFi web browsing test. Like all of our battery life benchmarks we run this test with all devices calibrated to 200 nits and connected to 5GHz 802.11 WiFi (if supported). The test itself cycles through a bunch of desktop websites at a very aggressive frequency. Our test ensures that both the CPU cores and wireless stack can reach their deep sleep states during simulated reading periods. The test continues until the battery is depleted.
Our video playback test involves looping the playback of a 4Mbps 720p High Profile H.264 transcode of the last Harry Potter Blu-ray. All displays are calibrated to 200 nits.

See attached thumbnails for the brightness & battery test graph, more information at the source.
I usually give more weight to Anand's benchmarks that others. However, I'm very skeptical of those battery stats. The discrepancy in web browsing hours is huge compared to every other review.

The difference is Anand fixed the brightness to 200nits on all tablets, other reviews most likely runned theirs on a fixed brightness %(where N7 2013 would be much brighter than any other tablet).

It is not uncommon for reviewers to note the % brightness for any given bench. Many test web browsing at 50%, which should be around 300 nits. At this level, most reviewers report roughly 7 hours. Do you think lowering the brightness a mere 100 nits will result in 5 more hours of browsing? Not likely.
In the following review, less than 7 hours of web browsing was achieved with brightness set at 150 nits. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Google-Nexus-7-16-GB-2013-Tablet.98299.0.html
I understand that test methodology varies among reviewers. But Anand's is wildly different from EVERY other review. Something is off with their testing in this case.

Interesting, I don't think Anandtech would rig their reviews to purposely produce false results, but that 150 nits web browsing battery life time seem absurdly low. If you have a such a strong opinion, why not go to their website and question them?(if you haven't done so already)

I don't think it is fair to characterize what I'm saying as a "strong opinion." I am simply perplexed at how Anand's results are inconsistent with not one or two, but EVERY other review. Nobody is getting 12 hours of web browsing at any brightness.
I don't think Anand "rigged" anything. I just think something is off with their test. Perhaps user error, or a stat counter erroneously reported something.
Because WiFi web browsing testing is just a blanket term.
Oh all the reviewers who test it....and how did they run their tests? What methods did they use and so on.
Anand runs the same exact text across all the devices. If you follow them at all they have explained what their test are designed to test. From the types of pages it loads to how frequently and so on.
Frankly most other reviewers in mobile just suck at doing of any type of useful testing period.

Yeah, but Anand's stats for all the non-n7 tablets are consistent with most other sites. It is only the n7 2013 that shows nearly DOUBLE what others are reporting.

I agree with the latter statement, and admittedly I like that the anandtech staff do try to go a bit deep and get quantifiable results when conducting their tests, but lately when I look at their battery tests on devices I'm simply confused. None of the devices I've used match up to the kind of results their battery tests for the same device arrive at. In that respect, I'm not sure they qualify as "useful testing"
Wish I got my N7 from the same batch as the one they tested, because there is no way I can get 10 hours of screen on time with the current build of 4.3.

I've gotten 12 hours of screen on time with 40% remaining. The tablet is capable of being ridiculously efficient with regards to battery life. If you are just reading some ebooks and browsing websites and the display is at a low brightness level, it can last forever.
You don't use your device under the same conditions as their tests.
The test are not done to show you what YOU will get during your usage. It shows how all the devices tested fair in the same exact test. A test that they explain what its doing and why they are doing it.
Some things are far easier and simple to test. Thats why those results will be similar.
This is nothing new. Look at the results for a completely different device like the iPhone for example. Then look around and see what users of devices report as their battery life for the task. It will be different. Different web pages. How many and how often you load the pages. The load you put in the WiFi radio and soc all will give you different results.
ok so let me get this straight. If 99.9% of reviews bench a tablet as capable of 7-8 hours of battery life with brightness set at varied levels, but generally between 150-200 nits, but Antendtech reports 12 hours at 200 nits, then every other bench must be inaccurate. Ok, gotcha. By all means, continue believing that you are getting 12 hours of screen-on usage. :silly:
You just don't get it.
They are doing different tests. Its not the same test.
I am not expecting to get 12hrs of screen on time since I don't use my device that way.
But I have got the same amount of screen on time as all the clueless reviewers using my device for stuff that are more battery taxing than "WiFi browsing". Netflix + YouTube+ candy crush + tune in radio while using tapatalk and other little things. So using the device as described by anands WiFi browsing test I have no doubt it will be closer to the 12 hrs they got then the 7 the mobile blogs are reporting.
Stop being lazy and look into ( if they even disclose it) how all the other sites perform their test and compare it to what anand does.
Or go over to their post on their site and challenge anand on the testing method and results and see how that goes.
Edit. lets add in some results for smartphones for the same test. The nexus 4 =5.93 hrs. The iphone 5= 10.27 The htc one x = 9.93 The HTC one = 7.8 and so on.
Do you see these same results for the other review sites? NO. Why? Because they are not doing the same test. Comparing their ( anands) test to who knows what the others is doing is just wrong.
Ill even pull in stuff directly from one of the reviews you sited in your defense,
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Google-Nexus-7-16-GB-2013-Tablet.98299.0.html
With no apps running while sitting idly on the home screen, the new Nexus was able to last for over 44 hours
The large discrepancy between idling and WLAN runtimes means users can get away without charging the tablet for a few extra days longer. More conservative brightness and system settings will also net much more battery life this time around.
There you have it. So a test like anands that is not loading webpages as often and letting the wifi radio idle more will clearly get better battery results then what they ran

This. I had about 50% left with 7 hours screen time. I was just reading/listening to old articles in pocket with screen timeout set to 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised.

You are talking out your ass. No reviews test at 150-200 nits. The verge for example does 65%, which if brightness linearly scaled on the Nexus 7 would be 379 nits, almost double what anandtech tested at. Again if brightness linearly scales, anandtech was testing at around 34% brightness.

Yeah I can completely believe getting insane battery life at lower screen brightness
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Moto G6 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Second day of use with the g6 I got around 8 hours of SoT before the battery saver kicked in. My first day I got 7 hours SoT (I was also rebooting the phone a bit getting tweaks to work) I can't speak for the remaining 2 hours it claims, but I will say the battery life prediction was accurate all day. Early morning it was estimating 10hrs of life left, and that is pretty consistent.
I kept my usage pretty typical of how I use my phone on a day to day. My usage was a mix of listening to music (on device and casting), streaming video, texts, snapchat, web browsing, and a little PokémonGo. The one thing to note is that this was on wifi the whole day, YMMV if you're on cell signal.
Overall I'm simply blown away by how much performance this slim phone has. I came from the Moto X Pure (XT1575) which would get 3 hours SoT on a good day. I was only expecting maybe 4-5 hours from the g6, but to get 3x what my old phone had is life changing.
I've only had this phone for a bit over 24 hours, and I'm impressed with overall battery performance.
I've got no Wi-Fi connection at home, so I was expecting worse, but I got 4 hours of SOT today from 100% to 6%, and I'm perfectly happy with that. This is after 2 hours of streaming from YouTube, and the rest dedicated to social media, downloading apps, a little bit of gaming, and general internet browsing (on full brightness the entire time). It's way better than any other phone I've owned. My Axon 7 Mini would've been on its death bed hours earlier.
I think it's absolutely amazing the battery life this device has! Almost 7 hours of screen on the and 16.5 since last charge is just insane. My Nexus 6P would quit after about 3 hours of screen time.

Are you sure you're on a G6 and not a G6 Play? I see 8, maybe 9 hours OST on my 4000 mah G6 play. Im highly doubtful of a regular 8 hr OST with a 3,000mah battery. Can you post any more OST of this nature and also what "tweaks" you've done. Im sure people would like to know how you doubled OST of this phone.

I am certain I am on the regular G6. The reason why the G6 can match SoT with the G6 Play while having a smaller battery is because the Snapdragon 450 is just that much more power efficient over the 430. Qualcomm claims the 450 is 30% more efficient over the 435 (I couldn't find any data on it vs the 430, but we can assume it is at least 30%). This explains how regular gets around the same SoT with 25% less battery capacity.
As far as tweaks, the only power saving measure I use is the app Naptime. It uses the aggressive doze feature in Oreo to save battery life when the screen is off. This has saved me countless times when I forget to plug in my phone at night, or if the power goes out while I'm asleep. I haven't tested it too extensively, but it seems to bring the screen off drain to ~1% per hour.

Impressive! Yes I love naptime, excellent app. I get about 2 days, with 8-9 hours OST. Wife gets 7-8 but it lasts over 3 days, light use. Thanks for the reply!
Well, I've achieved 10 hours and 5 minutes of 'Screen on Time' here, five days after buying the G6, and after installing my usual complement of around 160 apps and then configured everything accordingly. I then just used the phone the way I normally use my phone. The device actually ran for 14 hours between charges, with 10 hours being Screen Time.
(See the composite screenshots below, taken from my G6 battery stats screens and also from the AccuBattery Pro app.)
I didn't do anything unusual to achieve this impressive SoT figure. The screen brightness was low, but not unusually so. Most of the time, I was browsing via Chrome and I checked my emails several times and watched an hour or two of YouTube. I used the official Wikipedia app quite a lot and played a few rounds of chess with the DroidFish chess app in conjunction with the Komodo 11 chess engine, which I suppose is a bit CPU intensive... All of which is the extent of my gaming, that and Sudoku. I generally don't bother with high octane, graphics intensive video games - they don't do my blood pressure any favours?.
This 10 hour figure though, I suspect may not be typical ~ since then, I've been achieving around 8 to 8.5 hours SoT, with the brightness level higher, and using Google Maps more. Still pretty impressive for a 3000 mAh battery.
------------------------------------------
I bought the Moto G6 to replace my HTC One M8 whose battery, after nearly four years, was pretty much knackered! It kept crashing out when the battery dipped to around 70% charge - I had to re-flash it twice due to system corruption.
And so at just £220, I'm hugely impressed with the Moto G6 ~ it's a great replacement for my antiquated M8. It looks good, runs well and the battery performance is excellent. It might not be a Premium Flagship device, but I'm very, very happy with it.
Cheers, everybody?.

Just upgraded from a G6 play to G6. Wow! Getting about 7 hours OST and really good standy by. If this phone came with the 4000 mAh battery, it would be a beast. Impressive what a more efficient processor can do!
