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).
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.
Well I'll get straight into it, no matter which ROM I flash battery life sucks. I've gone from OA to CM7.2 with OC kernel now.
Just today I charged my phone fully, took it off the charger and played music ever since. I take a look at my phone and its at 70% after two hours with the screen off.
So here's my story...
I hated the new ICS official update that sprint rolled out because of my diminishing battery life. So i decided to finally root the phone and install some roms. Everything went well for the past week but now my phone screen flickers and then my phone shuts off when i still have around 80% battery life left.
I unlocked my phone, rooted it and installed Fish n Chips ROM.
My phone seems to have very poor battery life. I fully charged it to 100%, unplugged it, played a game for a very short while and I lost 10% battery withint 10-15 mins.
The battery just seems like a time bomb that doesn't last very long at all.
I've only had the phone 2 days now...
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.
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 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 have only had this phone for 5 days now and not that much of a talker over the phone but I am completely baffled about the very low battery life on phone calls I was only on the phone for 20 some minutes and it dropped almost 20 percent. I thought this phone was supposed to have a 8 hour battery life of full talk time.
