First, here's the constants: I keep wifi/BT/GPS on 100% of the time. This was true when battery life was good, and now that battery life is bad. Disabling these will improve battery life, but will not fix my problem.
When the phone is sleeping overnight, I used to get 8-12% battery usage over about 8 hours.
I've seen lots of battery life forums, and most of them show great battery life (over 12 hours) with lots of screen time. I'm not even in an LTE area, but I get very good signal. My screen brightness is at about 30% and I have two e-mail accounts (Exchange push and Gmail sync).
Hello,
I was wondering which rom you guys could recommend for better than stock battery life? Seems like a lot of the roms are tweaked for smoothness and speed not battery life. Currently on d3rpICS but the battery life isn't so great...barely getting 8 hours with 1 hour on screen time. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
What do you guys think the battery life will be like on the US version of the S4? I'm not too familiar with the S3, but my Galaxy Nexus has a 2100 MaH battery (extended), and the S4 is 2600. Do you all think that with optimization and a (I think) smaller nihm processor that battery life will be better than the bad life I've seen with my current daily driver? Thanks, all! :)
This is actually a copy of a (long) post reply I did in another thread a little while ago but heck, there are lots of posts and questions about battery life and I have 10 tips or things I do that maybe help to some so here it is...
( This was the original question:
What's a good figure for battery life on the GS3? The best I've got is about 31 hours using on demand and bfq.
Hello all,
Most likely going to purchase a new phone tomorrow, either a Gnex or a Maxx. Love the Gnex, but the battery life scares me. A guy I know claims to make it from 7am to 5pm on a charge, and to me that's just not good enough. Anyone here use the extended battery, and can give a non-root user an idea of the life in hours during an average day?
I love be this phone. Well, I really want to live it. However, I'm quite disheartened to hear others talk about the superb battery life in the LGOG, when I find the battery life in mine as simply atrocious. Under moderate to the-low-side-of-heavy use, I *might* get four (FOUR) hours of use. In tried eco mode, but that didn't help.
I just got my first Android phone and its a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. The first two days I was getting around 4-5 hours of battery life and then started reading up on this forum and did a bunch of suggested changes like turning off NFC, location services etc. Also, downloaded Juice Defender and now the battery life is around 7 hours.
I am currently on CM9A13 by Dhiru. I love ICS for al its features. But the battery life is very poor. Even at night the phone discharges 30% or so.
