salut,
for me battery life is very little, it's the worst battery ever for me and i had a lot of phones, i have to charge it 2 times a day, and that is with moderate usage - 3G but data connected only when needed, 30 min voice calls, 10 sms, 20 mails, 30 min facebook+ twiter, the phone gets extremely hot even during basic tasks than bothers me even more that ****ty battery life....

how many cycles did u put the battery through?

@lupu666ro
I would look if there is a problem with the battery.
Still love the phone and it's 2150 mAh

...not true, mine lasts about tow days steady with (once per hour) synchronization of 6 email accounts (one of them exchange), about 10 sms, some 30min talk, 10min stocks and 30min on the web. 4 weeks in use now.

@ lupu666ro
Interesting point of view
@ ducatisto
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.
I hope to notice a small diference betwen my current phone (LG-P940) and the P880.

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!

I will say the battery seems to be like all other smartphones.
I don't see a problem because I'm used to charge it once a day..

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

I get bout a day with light use with wifi on and 3g enabled. Do have quite a bit of heat on heavy uses and charging though.

Thanks for your help!
I have v10b and I tested it with antutu tester in different kind of situations.
In all situations the back and front (glass) got really warm. Nice in the winter but not if it cost my battery

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 .....

Battery life test proposal

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.

6h with no use ?

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.

Yes I read OP, every single word. But what I'm saying is that if your battery life is great and is enough to last you a whole day, there's no need to check the battery life.

Hopefully someone do the test for comparison.

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 ?

[Q] General Battery Life Questions - Looking for Other Input

Have new Sprint HTC One and when first using it out of the box, battery life seemed to be real good.
Mods I have made.. Unlocked and am running OMJ's custom ROM.
Here is what I am questioning now.. (my 14 days are almost up):
I leave it charge all night and first thing in the morning, I use it for 15-20 minutes catching up on mail, facebook and news. I am connected to wifi in the home. What I am experiencing is a 6% battery drain from this pretty consistently and display on auto brightness in a dark room in the morning. Last night I set power saver to including cpu, diaplay and data connection. I had the display set dimmer than normal/what the auto brightness would be. I experienced the same 6% drop this morning.
I am not sure what to think, its kind of disconcerting to think you wack 6% of battery before the first cup of coffee.
I have no data, but am wondering if anyone has see lesser batter just from unlocking?
OMJ's ROM is pretty stock, so I would not think that is causing any issues.
I am looking to see what others are experiencing from there initial 15-20 minute usage.
I am open to any input that could help me conclude that there is not an issue with the phone so I can stop worrying about meeting the 14 day return deadline.
Edit: Adding images and info to attempt to create a baseline for others to compare to. Images are from GSam Battery Monitor available in the market.
The images show 30 minutes of use after unplugging from a full charge, Power Saver off, Brightness set to Dim and using WiFi. Screen using 18% and Apps using 75%... you can also see the specific apps being used.
It would be great if others could mimic and provide their results. This would allow us all to have something to compare to.

it could just be the battery technology. i know with some laptops here at work they dont really "fully charge" the battery to increase the battery life span. so this could be a normal thing. For me personally im more concerned about the phone lasting atleast through the whole day before i have to charge it.

Yea I mean I'm not sure how much you use your phone a day but I'm seeing consistently approx 4-4.5 hrs of screen on time a day. Unplug the phone at 7am and plug it in when I got to bed usually around 11pm. Some days if I'm watching a lot of video or playing games I'll have to plug it in around 8pm or so but that isn't too often

Anyone want to do a small comparison test?
Set brightness to auto, charge to 100% and then use for 15 minutes checking mail, Facebook, web surfing, or whatever (simple activity, not gaming), in normal ambient room lighting, using WiFi, Power Saver off. Then report your battery level after the 15 min.

I would lose around 10% from that. I think.

You should calibrate your battery any time you flash a new Rom, so why not try the app I suggested?

Oh, I am all over that. Did the calibration yesterday. I have not noticed a significant difference, but I do agree this is a needed step. Especially when changing between significantly different ROMs. Thanks for pointing it out.
What I am really looking for from others are some comparison results. I have created some pictures this morning and will be adding them to my post, in an attempt to create a baseline that others can use to do the exact same and provide a result. This should allow others and myself to see if there is any significant difference between our devices.

I edited my post with baseline settings and images.
Would be great if others could mimic and post results.

Hehe Sorry when I read my post it seems kind of snappy and nothing about your reply led me to this conclusion. I understand your looking for a comparison and I think its safe to say I easily use 5-10% of my battery life first thing when I get up and check all of my stuff.

Sent from my lair.

Does anybody know if limiting background processes to zero will help battery life? My phone had 1hr 20min awake times with 12 mins screentime/usage after 8-9 hours.
This was with absolutely no power saving at all, whatsoever. Phone was around 75% after those 9 hrs I believe, with kernel taking 33%, and radio taking ~15. Fresh after factory reset. Only apps were Email, Doodlejump, GSAM, ES, Keep and Swiftkey.
Tomorrow I will turn off auto sync, limit background processes, and turn on power saver/sleep mode. Let's see how much that helps.

A ROM to make the HTC One behave like the Evo 3D?

Hey Guys,
So I have been using the one for about 4 months now and battery has not been up to my exceptions...
I know, this thing has a quad and pushing more pixels but it has a 25% bigger battery too (1730 vs 2300). What I want to know is if there is a Rom that'll turn this phone into a 1.2GHZ DUAL core, thats right, just literally chop off 2 cores at ALL times to boost battery?
Haven't rooted the phone yet but this battery situation is wanting me to do that.
This is from experience but HTC EVO 3D got 18 hours after good amount of use and almost two years of battery use (rooted with a good kernel) vs HTC One with 10 hours with "fresh" battery (stock).
Thanks

Why would you want that??
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CXKF42O
That will fix the battery issue if you don't mind it being bulky

Yeah, why cripple the phone when you could cripply your wallet AND the aesthetic of the phone!? Haha.
All seriousness, what kind of battery life are you getting?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Would need kernel source to make a custom kernel to shut down 2 of the cores
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Root the One before trying to shut down cores. I had the 3D and this phone has much better battery. 10 hours is like 25% with decent use on the One. Something not right off that is what you are getting.

Use cdma only in your mobile settings, This phone gets way better battery life than the 3d

Just underclock to 1.1 ghz

The cores support hotplugging. They are off if not being used. If they are being used, then they are being used to do something that will finish faster with more than two cores, in which case having two cores would give you less battery.
What you want is similar to people who want like 56mhz low power states. It consumes the same or more battery. If the phone could get literally free battery at the cost of just disabling two cores permanent...don't you think they would do that?

So if what your saying it right, then why haven't phones increased DRAMATICALLY in battery life with these humongous batteries?
I will root the phone as soon as KitKat ROMs are released.

I've had the Evo 3d and i don't see how you got better battery on that thing. Don't bother with turning off cores, it won't help cause the other core will just be working harder. if you really want to try to save battery, underclock or use the power saver mode with "limit cpu" option. Either way, the biggest use of battery on this phone is not the processor, it's the screen.

Yeah I also had a 3d for a long damn time and I have no idea how you're getting worse battery life. My one gets around 3 hours screen on time. Lucky if I got an hour and a half with the 3d

Don't bother with turning off cores, it won't help cause the other core will just be working harder. if you really want to try to save battery, underclock or use the power saver mode with "limit cpu" option. Either way, the biggest use of battery on this phone is not the processor, it's the screen.

I think you are right, the screen is sucking down the power, maybe I should get a lower res screen (Moto X?)

I say that's pretty good battery life for me. I'm on SWG check him out.

Will definitely be rooting as soon as a good KitKat ROM shows up, what is SWG?
To give people a reference to the awesome EVO 3D battery I had, one night (8 hrs no use) I lost only 3% battery! Compared to the HTC ONE I have lost 46% on standby over time
So obviously my next question is about screen res, any options to decrease screen res in certain ROMs or kernels?

You must have a rouge app or something. I recommend either finding what it is or doing a factory reset. The screen takes a lot of battery, but not that much. Also screen doesn't matter in stand by time.

I agree. You need to see why yours is not sleeping well. Just as an example, I didn't use my phone for 9 hours while at work today, and my battery was at 91% when I got out. It seems as if yours isn't going into deep sleep when your not using it.
Also, I don't believe the display drain has to do with the res but more the screen backlight brightness setting. I have noticed that if I turn down the backlight when I can, it saves a little on the battery also. I've also noticed on mine that the WiFi being turned on is a big battery drain. I have my WiFi "sleep" during long periods of inactivity.
Good luck, YMMV

I see what you guys are saying. Let me factory reset the phone first, since rooting is such a pain these days. I will report back.
I might have a battery issue, so rooting can be problematic if I wanted a warranty repair.

I decreased my screen resolution and my battery life is amazing

My 3D had about the worse battery life of any phone I've had to be honest... If your One is getting worse than the 3D you likely have something set up wrong or poorly that is draining it.... Check your wakelock times on apps.

2. Please be specific about how you've used it during the day.
3. Screenshots of the battery settings are most welcome.
4. Show image of screen-on time as well as the list of apps.
5. Brightness, is it auto? custom? If custom, %?
5. 3g / WiFi on? If yes for how long?
7. Haptic feedback?
8. Rom + kernel(its settings)
.... whatever else comes to mind.
Good Day.. :good:

That is great.. Screenshot would be good to be more clear..

Has anyone opened the G Flex yet so as to know the dimensions of the battery? I understand it is supposed to be using the BL-T8 3500mAH battery. I am asking to see if it can fit and be used for a nexus 5. Is there anything in the documentation that states the phone is not to be flexed flat? Please forgive me if this seems off topic.

screen time?

Going on 16hrs and 4 hours on screen time with 63% left. That's heavy use including Web browsing, music, a lot of Tapatalk, playing Dead Trigger.
Brightness on full, Gps, synching 6 emails, and nfc running.
Coming from the Note 3. Which was a beast on battery. This puts the Note battery to shame.

So I did some research
Yea.... we know that almost all phones using Li-Ion battery type....(example samsung galaxy s 4 (Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery)
our G Flex using Li-Po battery type ( Li-Po 3500) as many apple devices.
Li-Ion is Lithium-ion
Li-Po is Lithium polymer

Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-Ion Batteries began their development in 1912. However, they did not become popular until they were adopted by Sony in 1991. Lithium Ion Batteries have high energy-densities and cost less than lithium-polymer batteries. In addition, they do not require priming when first used and have a low self-discharge. However, lithium-ion batteries do suffer from aging – even when not in use.
Lithium-Polymer Battery
Lithium-polymer batteries can be dated back to the 1970′s. Their first design included a dry solid polymer electrolyte that resembled a plastic film. Therefore, this type of battery can result in credit card thin designs while still holding relatively good battery life. In addition, lithium-polymer batteries are very lightweight and have improved safety. However, these batteries will cost more to manufacture and have a worse energy density than lithium-ion batteries.

article by Matthew Sabatini on October 18, 2011.
Li-ion are cylindrical cells, most are not designed for super-high charge and discharge rates, and the cells are typically protected with an ASIC designed to prevent overcharge/overdischarge.
LiPo can be made in different shapes, they have higher voltage and are naturally suited to high discharge, many have no ASIC at all so charge LiPo batteries with original charger only to bypass the problem with a different voltage!
and very funny video I found :good::laugh:
now I'm scare to leave at charge this phone at nights next to me lol

It is but without screen shots it's kinda pointless cuz i could come here and say i get such and such and such I'm not saying that this phone ain't capable of doing what he said but i would like to see some kind of screen shots since i am thinking of getting this beast once it's out in the US but i haven't seen not one screen shot of testing this battery yet and it's strange since this is a battery thread.
