I noticed a huge battery consuption in standby, about 38mA in stanby (on Desire was 5-8mA). I tried many different ways: disabeled mobile networks, hard resetted the device, but the result is the same. On the device 1.36.405.1 built is running.
Has anybody met the same problem?
Yeap, probably because sense is anoying, constant sync or something like that. And somehow I think they didn't optimized it very well.. probably wait for updates
And 1 or 2 mA is something I have never seen. How did u managed that?
I get between 30mA and 150mA in standby, rising to around 260mA when screen is on, peaking up to around 400mA occationly. I got these results from a free app called Battery Monitor. Would be interesting to see what others get, and anything that can help reduce the mA figures significantly ? I'm not overly impressed with the IS battery life so far.
there is a huge difference on stand-by battery consumption in htc official website..
with Incr. S you have 8mp cam, but with Desire S you got better battery...
The difference is huge.. :/
isnt is the desire S released with gingerbread and the Incredible S with froyo?
maybe thats the reason
However, battery lasts much longer than dhd, hd2, and even desire z! It's a fact, I have tested myself. It's all due that ugly bump at the back of the phone which covers new 1450ma battery which lasts me all day without charge.

cant really complaign about battery at all, since my old phone whas hardly making it for 18 hours, this phone would even reach 36hrs for sure, and i use wifi at home, bluetooth in the car, 3g all day, and play games as well
CurrentWidget use to measure power consumption.
In standby using 3G i got 38mA, when i switch to airplane mode increase to 142mA!!! How is this possible? What values you measured?
battery consumption
In my case, minimum 36mA and maximum 440mA, but battery life very good, two times better as by my HD2, also better as by my, already sold, Trophy. I am curios when Gingerbread will come Q2 this year, will be better or not?!
I think Incredible s battery life is pretty good for me.
Link is my inaccurately test.Standby for almost 192 hours or 7.4mA.
Better than Desire HD,Desire Z and Desire in my hand.

How do you get such a long time? My IS only last 10 hours with 3g all day .

With 3g network ?
11hours using time with 3g and sync in my hand.
So I think yours is at average.

It would be quite useful to get into a car, place the phone in the dock and just drive. Attaching all those cables to connect power, stereo and hands free is annoying and quite frankly too old fashion.

Does the note support wireless charging or do you need extra components?
You can mod a note2 for wireless charging but the current is limited to about 500mA, which wont be enough if you have nav/screen on and music playing etc, your battery will still discharge, only slower.
FM quality is bad BT is better

BT is indeed better, though my stereo doesn't have BT. So I have to transmit through BT+FM transmitter. If they include hands free talk, would be nice if it would be with a microphone module on the steering wheel, adding BT with optional FM is derivative. Any cow ... Did anyone hear on wireless charging car holder?
Has anyone found a car charger that actually charges a Note 2 in use? My experience is they just slow the discharge (most of them only put out 2 amps).

There you go.
I should also add that unless you're using the GPS and playing music or a movie at the same time, a 2 amp charger should keep it charging while on the road.
Well that was my problem. GPS and music at the same time kills it. Thanks for the link

Powergen makes a 3.1 amp charger but that's shared between 2 ports.

Hi,
I use it for gps and listen to music and of course talk at times and I get fast charging.when I check battery it shows charging rate as AC. Charges at least as fast as stock charger.Highly recommend it!
Its only $12.99.

I am using 4.2 amp dual usb car charger bought on eBay. Importantly, I can charge two Note 2's simultaneously where one is mostly on 100% brightness running Google navigation and slacker radio on at&t LTE network and other one charging while being used for light browsing, emails, calls etc. Dual charging is quick and comparable to stock AC charger.
Ebay item number is 320779507652
First post, therefore I can't post direct link. Hope this helps!

My 0.7A Walmart charger keeps up with simultaneous GPS, browsing, and music; while still providing a slow charge to the battery. If you're phone is dying, it's probably because it thinks it's on usb, and limits itself to 0.1A.
What are your results after having the Gear Live for a full day? Also include the phone you are pairing it with.
Draining like hell. Sony Xperia Z1 compact. Phone shut down at 11pm last night for the first time ever. I usually have about 40% left at bedtime and I even had it on charge for an extra hour in the day.
EDIT: I may have been a little premature here. After a phone reset and a day of use the phone battery drain is not as bad as it first was. It's worse than normal but not drastically so.
No option for "improved" battery life. In my case since I don't have to pull the phone every 2 minutes it seen to me that it is doing a lot better. unplug at 7:15 this morning and it is currently at 96% (At this time it is usually at 85ish)
Pretty solid drain over here...
Gym session killed batter on phone. But I was also getting a lot of texts & changing songs, so.... Maybe that's on me. Haha. Oh well. Watch battery life is fine, so NBD
I'm paired with an M8 and while I do see a little more drain I would not call it drastic. I actually hadn't even noticed until I saw this thread and actually looked so it's small enough for me it's unnoticeable

I also have my gear connected, but impact not huge

RAM is a bigger problem. The Wear app uses anywhere between 115 - 150MB, which is quite a lot.
No impact on my Note3.

I haven't noticed any change on my M7 running GPe.

I noticed a big reduction, but I suspect it's because I now have Google Now set to on. I'm using it today with Google Now turned off, but the watch still connected etc, and it seems to have gone back to normal battery life.

There seems to be a small difference when paired with a Nexus 5, nothing too big though.
Anyone who has two or more devices connected to the watch, does it drain the battery of the watch faster?
Big difference, my note 3 won't last half a day if i use my watch.
Used to get about 7 hours with heavy use on my note 3 before plugging in the external battery, now I get about 5 1/2 hours when the watch is connected.

I have a Sony Xperia Z ultra and the Android Wear application on my phone is killing my phone´s battery
I have installed Gsam battery monitor and the application was in use by the system for almost 3 hours and a half of 5 hours I was running the phone without charging...
What I have done is to "force stop" feature in the android system menu and since then, battery is normal and I am still receiving notifications from my phone to the watch
I suspect that the android wear application has some important bugs related to battery draining issues in some cell phone models like Sony
It doesn't seem to have made any noticeable difference in battery life on my HTC One M8. I haven't paired it with my Note 3 yet, so I'll have to see how it does too.
Killing the battery on my One Plus. I don't know if I have too many apps going on my watch or what, but this watch is slaughtering my battery life. The One Plus has a decent size battery and great battery life pre Gear Live.
Bluetooth is bluetooth, if you have the latest version of bluetooth sure the bluetooth uses a bit of the battery but having the phone talk to your watch, bluetooth headset or car makes no difference.
The watch no sooner affect your battery life than any other bluetooth device will.
I never turn bluetooth off, hop in car the phone pairs with the car, go for a jog pairs with the headphones.
LG G3 855 version. Not only does it affect my battery, it also affects the phone. I get constant redraws on both LG home launcher and Nova launcher when the watch is connected.

You're totally right about Bluetooth especially with LE 4.0 or 4.1. I think that it the gear live case Google Now is the source of the drain not Bluetooth itself. It's totally pinging back and forth. Google services uses more battery than my screen sometimes and don't get me started on the wake locks. I never had that problem with the s4 or s5 and my other gear watches.

No big difference on a note3 running CM11 and several watch apps and at least one or two other devices paired.
I have always used Google now so maybe that is why I don't notice much.
Hello! I'm considering a Note 8 and was curious if anyone can comment on what the battery life is like while using bluetooth headphones. I listen to music at work on my headphones all day and my current device (S7) lives on the charger. Thanks!

Same way with note 8 ? I have Samsung level u pros and my note 8 just drains battery maybe it has something to do with bt 5.0, but its ridiculous
I bluetooth to a speaker while at work for 7hours on spotify and tune in radio. At the end of my work shift I still have 68%battery left

I using Bluetooth every day and all day playing youtured , good battery life to me
I don't use headphones much, but I do spend 24/7 tethered to a Frontier. Take calls on it every day. I get about 18 hours on a charge, in performance mode, a lot of social media, text, voice calls, and a couple hours of YouTube every day.
