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.
So I've been this phone for about 3 weeks now. I love everything about it but the battery life sucks.. I've only used android since I bought my Note II. I caught up with how android works right now but I don't know what apps are draining my battery life. It used to run around 16 hours then it only lasted for 16 hours now. I charged it properly all the time.
I know we have a lot of battery life threads and I absolutely love this phone but mine is not getting good battery life. I'm an advanced android user, I know it well and I do know that some devices just have bugs which kill battery life.
Hi,
i recently changed my battery to the one x+ one and hoped that I got a better battery life with this.
It is better indeed but never the less the battery doesn't last a whole day.
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).
I've seen so many threads here and at The Verge that I just don't understand. I've been using Android devices now for about two years and I've NEVER had a problem with battery life being worse than my iPhones. I have a 3GS and the battery on it dies after about 8-10 hours of moderate use. Meanwhile, I'm at 12 hours on my SGS3 and 50% battery.
Hi everyone, a while ago my phone's battery started draining very, very quickly. Even with the screen off pretty much all the time and no apps running, the battery drained within 3 to 4 hours or so. So I bought a new, 3500mah battery (old one was around 1400). This increased the battery life but it still drained for no reason. I updated my ROM several times but it didn't fix it.
Does anyone notice that Nova is reducing their battery life? I just installed it and I love it, but it seems that my battery is dying faster than normal. After 2 hours of usage, the battery settings say that Nova has taken up 9% of battery life.
Is this normal?
Would this problem be solved if I had rooted my phone?
Hi,
I recently upgraded to Jelly Bean. After the update I saw battery is drained quickly than it used to be. Most of the battery is consumed by Google Maps app where as I don't have any maps running.
I have Google location services, GPS and Samsmung sync disabled. But still Google Maps consumes more battery than most of the other apps combined. What's the solution to this?
