So the first thing I decided to do was test the battery performance as soon as I got my XL.
I have been a regular user of iPhone 4S, Sensation XE, Galaxy S2 so I have a pretty good comparison idea as far as end-user go.
The pics below say the whole story and this is my regular use (which might be still light for some people). If you are heavy user, expect atleast 70% of this performance.
My Setup :-
1. Exchange Sync - 15 mins
2. Facebook Sync - 30 mins
3. LinkedIn - Automatic
4. About 15 calls - 35 mins total
5. 5 SMS
6. 20 Emails Recd
7. 3 Emails sent out
8. Music listening on Bluetooth - 15 mins
9. Browsing - 10 mins
Most data was on Mobile Network and little bit on WiFi.
All in all I will say that I used to get just through the day on all my previous phones. IMO its the DualCore programming which neither Google nor Apple seems to have mastered yet and causes all the wierd battery issues on the above mentioned phones.

Good post!
Battery is quickly becoming THE issue with mobile phones. If those stats are accurate though 1 day and 18 hours is an incredible amount of time. (compared to what I get from my HTC desire).
I'm lucky to get 12 hours from my desire.
I have the experience as you have with the battery on XL thats why its my preferred mobile and I keep the 4S and S2 in my pocket.

Whats with the 3 phones? :-o
Great post and yes I found myself loving the sensation xl regarding battery fire me it is the best HTC regarding battery performance with stock ROM

I tried 'juice defender' and observed it worked for a longer battery life.

I'm very proud of my Sensation XL regarding the battery life, the old phone (Desire HD) didn't last more than half of the new Sensation XL
PS: Wi-Fi (if available) and Mobile Internet ALWAYS ON

I like phones
Gonna sell the S2 soon. Never liked it much cept for the camera and screen.
XL's battery life is pretty nice ,compaired with Incredible S and Desire HD.
I can use it for about 15 hours without charging.(casual usage)
Or 6 hours for heavy usage.
battery life
w/ my regular usage i've gone from 1 day (Sensation and Sensation XE) to 2 days (Sensation XL) w/o charging very happy about this!
I'm sorry but I don't see any spectacular battery improvment...
With my DHD with original stock rom I would get 1-2 days with moderate usage... now with Sense 3.5 cooked rom I got 1-1 1/2 day....
Battery log
Hello guys,
This is my current log file from Battery Monitor Widget.
As you can see over night the average consumption is around 16mAmps.
I don't know if this is normal, for me it seems to be a bit high for sleep state, over night.

I too find battery performance on cranked up 1.5 cpu single core much better. Up to half a day or more. I have used sgs2, titan, sensation, arc s etc and its seems that the dual core chip drains battery much quicker

Given your exposure to the iphone4s and Sensation XE and XL. Can you let me know how much the wifi affected the battery life when compared to the when wifi is off?
And how much difference was there between the XE and xl overall?
Depends on what are you doing with the phone. If the phone just stays in stby the wifi doesnt need much energy, barelly see feel the consumtion. If you are using the connection for wathcing youtube it counts.
Im a heavy user, lots of calls and i have push exchange, gmail, whatsapp which goes crazy with mates on groupchats some days.
I find im ok if the phone doesnt charge over night, its in deep sleep mode anyway over night, which i have manually set to 1am-7am.
The sleep idle consumption is 15 - 40 mA of draw.
I get dozens of emails and dozens of calls per day. Google few things, and i rarely use WiFi as im always on the go.
I run mine on Normal power setting, with Power Efficieny on always.
Whereas with my DHD on various roms, i would have to charge by about 5-7pm. Would be totally dead by then. Even with the CPU de-tuned and sense disabled, all the goodies. Running similar services ofcourse, exchange,whatsapp, gmail, calls.
I wonder wat the SXL will be like without sense running? I forcefully deleted facebook and twitter and few others cause they keep running in the background always and im using RCmix3D Runny v1.2 at the moment
Maybes someone can help me
I allowed my phone to go complete dead to do a full charge but when I plugged it in the red/amber light wont come one and its been on charge for about 3 hours now and their is no response to when i press the power button sometimes if its dead it will kick into life but go of straight away if it needs a charge
I have rooted my phone as well so hopefully I have not bricked my phone
Please Help!!!!!!

It should not be because u have rooted your phone. Did ever the amber light come or it didn't. Because even bricked the light should come on even if you are not able to switch the phone on... Are you shure that you have pluged the charger in the socket... (only joking) don't know mate....take the battery out and put it back then plug the charger and see if it works....

I'm not getting nearly the battery life that others are claiming.
I just calibrated my battery this time, so we'll see how it goes.
Please post a screen shot of your 'settings -> about phone -> battery usage' and click on display and tell us the 'time on' numbers.
I have about 2 hours of 'time on' time, and I've gone through a third of my battery. And I have very conservative screen settings. I don't see any way I could get the reported 9 hours of video time that Engadget reported.
I'm not complaining though - on my mytouch 4g, I could get probably 3-4 hours of screen time on a battery. Considering how powerful this phone is, and the size/resolution of the screen...... No real complaints.
- Frank
P.S. Can you imagine a hyperion extended battery? The stock mytouch 4g battery is 1400, and the hyperion extended is 3500. So a hyperion extended battery for the note would be ..... 6250 mah??!?!? [email protected] What we need is an ibm 'slice' type of battery - that wouldn't add much thickness.

That is too bad, I am looking forward to the phone but was really looking forward to a good day of heavy use in...
Well, I'm getting a good days use from mine with battery still left at the end of the day. And it's pretty heavy use at the moment too.

Battery Life is one of my top priorities, which is why this phone seems to be amazing. I would like to hear from more users about this..
I can't wait until ICS & devs start making ROMs & kernel for the Note. I think then, we will see the Note truly shine.

What kind of battery life test would satisfy you then?
For instance:
I have used a variety of phones over the last 6 months (BB Torch 9800, Torch 9810, BB Bold 9700, Bold 9900, Galaxy 7" Tab P1000, HTC WP7 Mozart) and none of these devices can deal with my pattern of usage every day without at LEAST 2 full depletions and recharges of the battery.
I'm looking to the Note to be the first phone that can last a day, or at LEAST a day with only one recharge.
Engadget reckoned they got 9 hours of video playback on one charge. I do hope that this is indicative of the notes performance...

I am a heavy user. The only battery test I want is if the batter has juice left in it when you are ready to go to bed. I have a 4G Infuse, the POS would die in 6 hours. So lame.

Your post doesn't tell how the battery life is good. The part that consume the most of the juice is the display and I can see from your post that the screen of your Note was awake just for a little time...
So, trying a browsing and video experience would give us a better idea

I can tell you right now just by looking at the screenshot you have something keeping your phone awake. No way in the world is Android OS supposed to be that high. Figure out what it is and you'll definitely see better battery life. 90% positive it's an app you installed.

That's a known ROM/kernel bug in Gingerbread, with AOS taking up so much time. It will be fixed in custom ROMs - though who knows if Samsung will fix theirs ??
Battery tip, if you have NO SIM card in, "cell standby" will tear through your battery in no time. Put it in airplane mode, then enable wifi FTW.
I'm having the same problem. Really frustrating. Needing a recharge every 12 hours or so. And I'm not a heavy user :-/
Dear all,
Today I change a animate wallpaper to static, the result is good, my battery level after same hour, same use is much better.
Before, I full charge at nigh, start use the phone from 7am, web, email at cafe to 8am, have some phone call, email, and web again from 9pm to 11pm.
With animated wallpaper, at 11pm battery is 0, but today, its still at 50%, its good!

Animated wallpapers are battery death unless they are pseudo animations like that melting droid wallpaper which is effectively a giant battery meter. It's like playing a movie constantly.
When judging battery life, you should take in account that if you just have bought the device, you maybe are using it more than you will in the future. (I said maybe, don't jump at me )
I did... And I got 12 hrs or something.... I think that I will manage a good day with it in the future.
Of course the largest consumer of juice will be the screen... So, use a low brightness whenever you can.
And, I bought Juice Defender + from the Market, this seems a good investment and works fine on the Note. (Free version does too)

I can live with a data connection that just every 15 minutes goes on to check mail etc.
(although some people complain when they don't hear from me within a minute )

Thanks for sharing your opinion about the phone
Still I want more opinions about the battery life on this phone.
Probably I will buy this phone anyway just to test the quad core cpu.

This is totally bull****! From the owner and personal experience I can assure you that his 20-25 hours of activity makes them without any problem. Even with moderate use!

Using a fixed brightness is pointless if you want to compare across devices. What is 50% on some devices might be 70% on others.
The only way to truly compare would be to use a brightness meter on a reference image to set brightnesses the same on two devices.
It has already been said that the Optimus 4X is much brighter than most LCDs, and I'd be inclined to agree, it really helps for sunlight legibility.
Low battery life
I experience the same problem. I am a heavy user of the phone so the screen is on often.
My experience is too much comparable with my previous phone, the sony xperia x10 which has a battery issue.
My phone becomes also very hot while charging. I never experienced this with a phone so much as with this one.
I will factory reset the phone and perform a battery test. I will keep you posted.
Have you updated your phone ?
The v10b update is supposed to fix the battery and heat issues.
I am on version v10b and after like 10 charging cycles i must conclude that battery life suks

Battery life is as bad as my previous ip4S, just managed to last one day after 4 charging cycles It gets a bit warm when surfing the internet and during charging. My version is V10c.
Update your phone. The battery life is improved with v10d firmware.
""Update your phone. The battery life is improved with v10d firmware. "
Not for me unfortunly, the v10d update doesn't fix the battery issue.

have you wiped the device before/after the update, i did booth, wiped before and after the update, will check battery live
after a few full loads, but overnight i lose around 12% with data (GSM) and wifi on (wifi on only when charging or screen on)
in 9 hours...
i think we can only get better results if we get root and custom kernels / roms .....
What if you want to compare your battery life with other people using the same Nexus 4. You can do a subjective assessment like the ones in this long tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992627&highlight=battery . But every body uses their phone differently and have different programs installed.
I was thinking what could be a good test that complies with the following:
• Be Simple
• Be Repeatable
• Be Comparable between users
• Can spot hardware failure in the battery / charging system.
What do you think of this procedure
1. Backup your phone
2. Charge it 100% and keep it plugged
3. Take out your SIM
4. Do a factory reset (wipe/format)
5. Do the initial configuration skipping everything (no simcard, no wi-fi, no google account, no name)
6. Go to display settings and set brightness to maximum.
7. Turn off Wi-Fi
8. Shut down the phone
9. Disconnect it from the charging cord
10. Turn on your phone.
11. Click on the clock on the home screen and start the StopWatch.
12. The stopwatch screen will prevent the screen to turn off.
13. Wait for your phone to die and record the time it lasted
14. Share how long it lasted in this thread
This would be a synthetic test (does not resemble a real usage scenario) but also is comparable and repeatable because does not measeure a lot of variables or differences between set ups.
RESULTS:
First charge
Battery time 6h 02m
Here is a screen shot taken just before it died.

}
Second charge
Battery 5h 53m
And an screen shoot taken after charge it again and then turn it on
I can only explain that the in the second charge the battery lasted less because in the first charge I left the charger connected a couple of hours after it reach 100% but in the second charge I started the battery test the moment It showed reached 100%.
It just died at 6h02m. This is for the first charge of a new phone. I really don't know if this batteries have to be conditioned or not. I will ran the test again tomorrow.
Hopefully someone can replicate for the test to be useful.

jeeeeeeeeeeeez... 6 hrs of stopwatch... doesn't mean NO USE
this is interesting though... I will keep reading this thread
All this means is how much time your screen can last with little to no use, factor in network,WiFi, and processor and that number halves
I generally get through the day with 60% juice left, and that's more than enough for me. I feel no need to compare with others since real life usage really varies greatly.
A day at work for me is 10hrs. When I'm at work I set my phone in my locker. When I'm on break I'm on it constantly reading reddit, xda, Facebook and Twitter. Usually get about 2 hrs sot using just data and leave work around 50% get back home and use wifi and get around 4.5hrs by the time I go to sleep and charge. With my old epic 4g touch I'd only get a max of 1.5hrs and that's while using airplane mode with my phone in my locker. I'm fine with how long this phone lasts...

Might try this when I get the time. I've tried a lot of different things and cant get more than 3 hours of screen time on a single charge. It Usually gets me through the day but not always.. standby seems to have improved with 4.2.2.. But when I read about all these people who get 5-6hrs of screen on time with similar usage I'm obviously going to feel like somethings wrong since I have the same phone.. So yeah, I'd like to see if on a standardized test we get the same battery.. then we can slowly narrow down other factors to figure out whats causing the difference.. Cause even with battery stats I dont know why mine isn't lasting as long as other peoples..
Comparing to my iPhone 4S
When downloading apps and browsing the web and stuff, I give the edge to the iPhone. I can stream Slacker Radio and browse the web for about 4-5 hours before hitting 20%. The Nexus only lasts me about 3 1/2 hours. Not a big deal.
Standby also goes to the iPhone. I can fall asleep at night and wake up with about 3-5% drain. The Nexus is about a 10% drain.
The Nexus wins at charge time though. I can fully charge it in less than an hour. The iPhone takes at least 1 1/2 hours.
The Nexus also wins with WiFi. I see no difference in battery drain when connected to WiFi or it turned off. The iPhone takes some noticeable drain when using WiFi.
I give the trophy to the iPhone. Although Android completely voids the inferior battery. Nexus > iPhone.

Actually theres a great reason to check. If you can make it thru the day with a phone with a crapped out battery, that wont be an issue for you but it will be an issue for the next person who owns your phone. It matters because of the resale value of your phone. If you can get an rma that will benefit the next owner, then you should do it just so that it sells better in the future.
So you run the test and find out your phone is damaged on arrival even if you didnt notice at first, and you get it replaced.
It would be very interesting to find that everyone's battery lasts approx the same lol under this situation.
The only limitation of this method is that we do not take into account any leakage of a certain, a more or less efficient processor or modem on someones phone.

It is funny because this is actually why I crated this test. This phone is a RMA replacement of the one I had before with battery issues. It was a pain to know for sure if the problem of my previous Nexus were SW or HW related in this forum I only found subjective opinions on battery life. Nothing to compare and be 100% sure it was in fact a defective battery and not some misbehave app.
So at least I now have a base line to compare if some battery life problems arise again.
Waiting for someone else to run the test to see if results are similar in other nexus 4
So with just stop watch & screen on the phone is getting 6h total time ?

Dont think the battery is quite good..moderate user here by the way.
Battery saving mode on 3 hours ago for vibration and CPU usage, sync completely off for everything, brightness auto, 4g fully connected, watched videos on VLC for about 1 hour and whatsapp for about 1 hour in total too.
Expecting it to last about 1 and a half days, seems like it will last only a day.

Yeah. He is right. At most, It can only last from 8 to 12 hours. That is me almost using the phone all the time - screen almost always on, wifi always connected, 1-2 hours of gaming, social with only twitter and wordpress only on push, autosync off and powersaver off(except when its on 15%).

Pretty poor too...I feel like my iPhone 6s Plus which I have replaced with the Note 7 was getting much much much better battery life
I've already used Greenify to freeze a ton of apps and used the Disabler Pro to disable a bunch of crap, but still, pretty crappy!
Ugh I miss the Note 4 days, root, customer recovery/rom/bootloader/etc, was customized nicely and got a ton of battery life, plus the huge brick-like ZeroLemon battery which made my phone last almost 2 full days of heavy usage lol
Yes.
Kick down the settings. This is one of the good features within the Note 7.
Settings > Device maintenance > Battery > Power saving mode > MID > Customize > 80%/HD/Limit device performance > Apply
Within "App power monitor" in Battery settings you can manage power hungry apps by putting them to sleep when your device screen is off.
You can turn off features that you don't use.
AskTheAndroidGuy on YouTube has a couple videos in managing battery life and speeding up (which also will help with battery life) the Galalxy Note 7.

Battery life has been disappointing. Granted that I'm comparing to both my OnePlus 3 and S7E. I really hope things even out after a couple of cycles. GSAM battery monitor is showing only 3 hours average screen on time after 2 full cycles. I was getting close to 4.5 on my OnePlus 3. Cmon, Samsung!

Why is Android System the 1st on my list of battery usage? shouldn't it be screen?
i have question. why are you guys even comparing battery life on a phone thats been out for 2 days to a phone that you've used for at least over a month? of course it will suck compared to those. those phones batteries have had a chance to mature and settle in. give the phone a week to settle in. sheesh.

Same issue that the Snapdragon variant of the s7E had on release. It's so annoying.

it will only be screen depending on how much you use the screen on that cycle. if your screen is off most the time then android system will use most battery because of syncing all the services you have running. this is normal and not anything to be stressing about. also this phones screen tech is very very efficient. gone are the days when screen eats up your battery.

Same here. Battery life has been sucking so bad on this. My Note 5 was a beast when I first got it. Note 7 battery life has been quite a disappointment so far. Will give it a few more days to see if it improves

As to why complain with only two days use, the S7 didn't need time to adjust.. It's battery life was stellar out of the box. You are going to find the battery life on this is average at best. It's not a huge thing to me as I'm always around a charger but it's a bit disappointing
I still feel as though it is a wee bit too early to comment on battery life entirely, but I am not having too many issues. I came from an S7 Edge. I used Package Disabler Pro to rid myself of the bloatware (albeit there is less on a T-Mobile device). I kicked out the Touchwiz launcher and installed Nova to my liking. I am using a Material theme, and all seems well. There is a bit of increased battery usage, but it doesn't seem too terribly bad.
This battery is bigger than the Note 5 and I remember that phone's battery being better out of the box.
Is conditioning the battery still a thing?
I still say that if you manage your power usage by doing things like lower the resolution, etc (like AskTheAndroidGuy on YouTube shown in his videos) then you can get more battery life per charge. I went from 5am to 3:30pm and still had 81% battery life left. Playing music, scanning barcodes at stores to learn about the products and price comparison, using Chrome browser and Google Now for the same, installed apps, configured apps, and much more (I only watch two five minute videos.). That is 19% of battery for 10.5 hours.
If you keep the Note 7 at highest resolution while using it, watching videos, etc. your battery life will be low. Having such good quality technology also means sacrifice on battery life.
What I am saying is while you on the go why not go for HD (720p) resolution, 80% max brightness, turning off features not using, etc. to get good battery life. Then turn on the highest quality video and features of the device when you are using them.
The tools are there. It is up to you how you use them and the results you get.
BTW - I am running Ocean HD live wallpaper. Very tricky to get live wallpaper running on this thing. But it is another app that uses battery life. Looks cool with the curve glass (especially when the fish swim through the curve glass.

Agreed. Phones that have stellar battery life make it obvious right out the box. This whole getting used to scene is another placebo created by people who suffer from buyer's remorse. Battery life really is disappointing compared to S7 edge and Note 5.

Like every phone there needs to be a few cycles on the battery before battery life is set

It might be true. However, having owned almost every Samsung galaxy flagship I have found that their latest flagships do not have one particular kind of battery life. On some days it's 5 or 6hrs of SOT and on other days it's only 2 or 3hrs SOT. Some days you have Screen on top of Battery stats and other days you have Android System or Cell stand by killing it all. It's extremely frustrating.
I mean now I am getting what one would call immaculate battery life, I have 1:30 SOT and I am at 80%. I don't even know whether to be joyous for having this battery life as of now or be sad knowing I had a similar experience with Note 5 and other Samsung flagships. They just can't get it right can they?

I have had fairly light usage buy right now I have gone 1d 11h 16m with 3h 42m SOT. I am at 7% so I am getting ready to plug in but that isn't bad to me.

Looks good I have a similar sit at 85%
But then again I'm at my third cycle I expect it will get better as all other phones I had have done
My note 7 battery life so far is very good. At 8 am I had 70% now is 10:10 and still have 7%. Without battery save. (I use my phone a lot for work ..
