The image speaks for itself, but I'll add some info. I have a SetCPU profile for screen off that sets it to 245 min and max, and I haven't been using the phone hardly at all the past two days. Wifi has been on the entire time.
Normally, after 8 hours of light use, my phone would be dead with Android System taking up about 40% of the battery, and the three radio entries taking up about 16% each.
I've been using CyanogenMod 6.1.1 since the day it came out, with it's built-in kernel, not Pershoot's. I've done nothing else custom. The only thing that I can correlate with this change in battery life is a new version of SetCPU came out a couple days ago.
Or maybe it's just an unrelated fluke, and tomorrow whatever battery-eating bug exists in the system will rear its ugly head again. I dunno. All I know is I've never seen battery life like this on my G2.

101% yaaaaay I can add

What on earth!?

Screen not even registering as using any?
most of my usage is screen for 60%+ (maybe 2 hrs on)
and 15~18 hours tops!

You still geting great battery life I have the same setup and battery life is average not as good as 6.1

I do not mean to highjack your thread but I have a question. For the cell standby power consumption, what is registered as the amount of time with no signal? I am in a full HSPA+ area and it still tells me that 50% of the time my phone has no signal, how is that possible? Thank you for your responses.

I managed 56 or 59 hours once and the display wasn't on the list either. I mentioned this in another thread but it was generally ridiculed and dismissed

i lose about 50% of battery with hspa on during a 8 hour shift. Of course random facebook and texting is going on.

I noticed an improved battery life with the unofficial Gingerbread builds. Did Google finally get it right?

That has been my experience, though I'm still stuck using the stock HTC sense since I updated to 1.72 before rooting.
Whenever I check battery use, the Display is ALWAYS the highest consumer, by a large margin. I usually see 60-70% Display, and the cell standby, etc are only a few percent. Now I'm really upset I can't root it for the forseeable future.
Did you just not ever touch the phone at all? I mean, the display isn't even listed!!?!?

As I said, I was barely using the phone at all.
Right now I'm at 95% after 10 hours of non-use. I don't remember this ever being possible in the past.
Even when I actively use the phone (at least in the past) Display would never be very high. Android System was always #1 with the radios beneath that, and Display somewhere around 6%, as I recall.
In the time it took me to write this post mostly in Swype, I lost 2% so my crazy battery life seems limited to the screen being off (with the corresponding very low cpu speed). Still, it's never been this good before.

lol the title is hilarious just had to say

I bet the lcd being not used plus wifi instead of 3G is the reason. Plus, I think it's witchery not wizardry, lol! Maybe both... whatever they are both hilarious! Ah, the days of yore!

Battery is for being "capable".

Why people buy phones with disgustingly crap batteries? Because manufacturers make them and people just accept it?
I am sick of hearing about phones weights differences in few grams, (our phone is thinner by 1 mm!!! -how sad) , about screens quality, about processors speeds, etc, and on.. Just because this is where all attention is?
What is use of it all if then users have to carry chargers wherever they go, they have to disable network modes, tweak performance, buy and run monitoring softwear, a lots of hassle JUST BECAUSE those manufacturers are jerks! Like there is problem to give proper large battery option to chose and we will see how market reacts?
I got phone from China with larger battery than you can get on any European market and I am finally happy, I don't worry about anything anymore.
On purpose I set everything to look nice, bright, run fast and never worry about any tweaks unless I suspect unhappiness from performance being somehow compromised, I do play games, I do use internet, I do stream and do other things without fear of not having more power for a call I may need to make. At end of day I have still 50% which will last next day easily.
BATTERY IS CRUCIAL PART OF THE PHONE. MUST NOT BE REDUCED IN PERFORMANCE IN ANY WAY (reducing size).
This is why we have smartphones to do many things quickly at any time instead switch all those cool features off, like everyday life was emergency situation for saving battery -ON DAILY BASIS?
P.S. some brands thinks I will carry second battery with me like I have a pocket and good will to open my phone and swap batteries??? really??? or taking ugly external USB-battery, swinging on cable while I am using my phone or looking ugly like second half of nadset to damage my USB socket with a time and have a patience to keep it charged -like a second device?
How ridiculous...

Battery performance actually did advance with processing technology over the years. It's not just sheer capacity that tripled, but efficiency became better. A top-end phone of today easily has 10 times more performance than a smartphone of 4 years back with so much bigger and higher-res screen not to mention extra antennas and extra ongoing processes, yet when HW/SW is properly balanced, it can last the same full day. Samsung and HTC are doing it right lately while Apple is particularly power-efficient, to expect anything more there has to be a battery tech revolution.
Much bigger manufacturer BS is storage capacity. A 64GB module hardly costs more than $20 for them and all gadgets should start with that going up to 256GB, but at least HTC is skipping the 16GB variant and you get a healthy space for starting price. You see they can't really put significantly bigger battery in a phone where they could put more storage in it, they just don't want to.

Are you specifically moaning about the HTC one or just phones in general? The one, in reviews, has been shown to perform admirably.

/sigh

Along with battery, everything moved on and needs more resources.
Still, batteries could give us more freedom, especially now, when 4G is in use.
Their size should not be reduced.

No.

so why are you posting it in the HTC ONE FORUM
a phone that is not released, not thoroughly reviewed and YOU DO NOT OWN

by mistake, sorry.
however your replies were not even funny.
i suppose sure htc is not a leader regarding battery-exeperience

Is my phone defective (battery)

Bought it almost a week ago and the main reason for switching from iPhone was the battery life was supposed to be jaw dropping.
I'm very disappointed. I have almost no non stock apps (just social media ones) and I'm not impressed. These results are actually some of the better ones. Usually I only get 2.5 hours of screen time.

Apps that are non stock: Facebook, Reddit, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram.
Should I return it? I mean I also run with No location, no bluetooth, and brightness as low as it can go.

If you have given up on the S5 period, sure. If you mean that you think your particular phone is defective, then no. There is no evidence whatever that your phone is defective. The S5 battery life is in fact very good. But like all things it varies because everyone uses their phones differently..
Your figures of 14 hours battery life (2.5 - 3.5 hours screen on) are on the low side for a S5, but hardly abysmal. If you do a bit of tweaking and update some apps or your firmware, I have no doubt that you could almost double that. Battery life is variable, depending on what apps you have installed and how you use your phone. Some apps like Skype or Tunein are notorious battery hogs. As is leaving wifi on when the wifi signal is weak or non existent.
Your post gives an impression of you having unrealistic expectations. Nevertheless, if you are still happy, then return it and get a different phone model. But there is nothing wrong with your handset and trying to exchange it for another S5 won't change anything. It just needs a bit of tweaking. If you play with the settings a bit you should be able to get ~ 20 hours, including 5 - 8 hours of screen time, rather than your current 14 /3. Use that as a benchmark for how you want to proceed.
If you want a better idea if you apps are the issue, then temporarily uninstall all of your third party apps. Then see what difference it makes running only stock apps for one day.

I'm unsure what you want me to tweak.
I have locations turned off, bluetooth turned off, and brightness as low as it can go
In terms of apps installed I only have the following non verizon stock:
Reddit sync
facebook
twitter
instagram
snapchat
Given whats installed and what is already disabled I think this battery life is pretty bad. My gf gets 4+ hours of screen with more apps installed and still 40%+ battery on her S5

It's not rocket science. You're on the lower normal end of battery life, about what one would expect for a heavy user or a phone that has hasn't had much optimization done. If you do a simple search for threads on how to optimize battery life and read for a few minutes, you'd have all of the tools you need to improve your battery life 50 - 100%.
If you're somehow still unhappy, that's on you. We've tried to make constructive suggestions but you seem to expect spoon feeding or magic. The S5 with minimal tweaks has exceptional battery life. If you want to improve your battery life, make the effort to do a bit of reading in existing threads. Or go ahead and exchange your S5 for some other model. And you can gripe about the battery life for that one too.

It's clear there isn't an easy fix otherwise you would just say it.
I never even wanted a different model I was questioning whether my particular s5 is faulty. As my gf keeps location and WiFi on all day with tons of apps and gets almost 2x battery life. She doesn't read anything about tweaks so Im not sure why you keep saying that. In fact I doubt she has ever gone into the battery settings menu to even know what kind of time she is getting.

Doesnt work. This is for g550 phone. Look javierin the comments. This is me. So please, put real info. Iknow how to search in google too.

No, they are reseller and in this foro the root they mention isnt a root for doogeex5. It does not work.

I managed to get myself a decent deal on a Doogee X5 here for $59,99, and this is my review of the phone itself:
http://www.dd4.com/goods/Original-D...HD-IPS-5.0MP-sim-dual-Wcdma-Unlock_60658.html
The X5 is Doogee’s entry to the budget phone market and the reason why it caught my eye was that it boasts a 5” 720P screen a quad core MediaTek CPU as well as Android 5.1 for less than 60 USD, which is almost unbelievable at this price point.
The box the phone came in was rather plain with some details regarding the specifications, IMEI and such, but other than that there’s not much worth mentioning. Inside the box is the phone itself, a short manual as well as a charger for the phone. So when it comes to the phone itself it’s completely made out of plastic, but it feels very solid due to a built-in metal construction. On the side of the phone there’s a power button and volume rockers, and on the front there’s a 720P IPS panel with decent viewing angles.
When it comes to the CPU, it boasts a Mediatek MTK6580 CPU that provide decent performance for daily usage (such as YouTube, browsing the web etc.) and it compares to the Snapdragon 400 system-on-a-chip. The main performance drawback is the built-in GPU, Mali 400, which leaves much to ask when it comes to performance in games and other 3D applications.
So when it comes to the software experience I’m pleased, as it’s a very pure version of Android with just a few additional applications. The UI is very fluid and smooth, and I’ve not noticed any major issues when navigating the phone, other than a few stutters when running many applications at once, which I suspect is related to the limited amount of ram.
This phone comes with a 2100mAh hour battery from the company BAK Battery (2300mAh according to doogee, which is false) and that combined with the MTK CPU provides decent battery life. With 50% of brightness, it lasts about a day or two with a simcard in the phone and about 2-3 days with no simcard. However, if you increase the brightness to 100% you’re likely to see big battery drops and therefore I recommend keeping it around 50-60% at most – the lower the better.
The phone isn’t free from drawbacks and the one that’s most noticeable is the camera, which is not very decent and provides kind of mediocre results. The videos and pictures taken with it looks all grainy and noisy and therefore this isn’t a phone for the camera enthusiast to say the least, but it’s okay for simple Facebook pictures and what not. Another drawback is the internal speaker which is loud but have a tinny sound, but at this price point this is very common.
So overall, I’ve had this phone for a few weeks now and I’ve had no major complaints, and with this sort of value for 60 USD I can’t do anything than to recommend this phone. It’s one of the better budget phones I’ve tried and its worth having a look at it if you’re on the lookout for good budget phone!

I got Doogee this weekend and I found it a great deal for its price.
So far I've had a huge problem with it; After 5 mins it loses its data connection and mobile connection. I have tried configuring APN, and many other configurations and I haven't been lucky at all. The phone should work with my carrier cause it runs a 850/1900 mhz band. Any hint about it?

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S9's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I find this phone preforms just how I would expect if not better than the lg g5 I had before. That old phone had a removable battery that was some where around 3400mwh.
This phone so far crushes that. I work 9 to 10 hour days. These days include music streaming gaming on breaks watching YouTube on 4g LTE during my hour break then more heavy use when I get home. The screen shot shows more use than most work days and I still only got to about 22%
Btw I'm on Qualcomm with T-Mobile.

Battery is decent. On pubg tho, battery drains like a snap of a finger.

I have great SOT from the phone a TMO never used on TMO that I use on Metro PCS AND I never downloaded most of the APPS -
So it is a Qualcomm using TMOs towers and at low screen brightness about 30% with location off unless I use GPS and most apps are asleep using the Battery Management Software for the Device I can do 1 hour of calls 40 minutes of youtube and 5 hours web browsing 7 or more hours SOT .
IF I use I heart Radio with speaker on - that is the worst battery hog.
NOW there is a huge software update about .7 Gig !
I remember this with Galaxy Alpha - each update INCREASED the size of the Operating System decreased the RAM and slowed the phone down and used more battery.
Alpha didn't matter because batteries are replaceable and I a always had 2 or more.
THIS phone - IF I update Samsung's huge .7 Gig will turn my S9 into a regular cluttered up 4 to 5 hour SOT phone...I think.
The update notification may be there a long long time - the SIZE of the update is a warning ....bye bye battery life hello more heat from a more complex Operating System - I am no developer ...but I have a scientific mind usually lol.
What do you think...?

I reckon update, my battery life has improved over each update.

i like the s9 and i got no smoothness problem g9600

How does it compare to an S7? Battery life when gaming is bad in general I guess (I had an S2 then S5, now an S7 and it's been a recurring issue).
Just looking for the slightest improvement really.
