People get 5+ hours of screen time by having odd configurations that would diminish the purpose of even having a phone.

I'm curious, are you finding yourself in a situation where you're needing over 4hrs of screen on time?

I mean I get it! I'm not trying to poke fun at him or anyone trying to get as much battery life of their phones as possible. I'm just curious as to why the obsession if you don't need it.
Hell, I'm guilty of something similiar... every HTC One I get my hands on, I go to MYHOIAN's ebay site and try to get it SIM unlocked. Why? I'm not travelling overseas any time soon or jumping GSM carriers here in the States. ... I just want it unlocked! And... $3.50, really, can't beat that price.
Yea me to buddy wish we didn't have to worry about unlocking and batteryife that be a perfect world

I have a T-Mobile phone so it does have a Wi-fi calling for home.
If I do use the phone it is with the WCDMA only... This was with heavy internet usage for work purposes with email sending. Also taking an average of 150+ Photos.

I got out of school a few weeks ago, so I'm at home during the day. Plus my laptop broke so I use my phone to get on the internet a lot more now.

I got my phone on the weekend, and finally hit 5 hours for the first time yesterday. I was playing music, browsing the internet, using WiFi and mobile data, and played a game for a little while. I almost didn't believe it when I saw it. I am very satisfied.
I think the app that got me there was Lux. It's a smart-dimming app that adjusts your screen brightness. You can also set what % you want your screen at for certain background light levels. I really like it.
Anyway, can't think of anything else I did to get that result. Much much much better than the One X.

Like the other user said, people do crazy things to keep their phone alive but rendering a smartphone useless.
Makes no sense to disabled data, sync, and other features of a smartphone
When you stop worrying about your battery life that's when your battery last you the most

Set brightness to 50% and hibernate google maps with greenify. It really is that simple. 5 hours.

I have a question about Wi-Fi calling too. Does it save battery compared to not using it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I don't know how you're not getting such screen on time, to be honest. It's obviously dependant on what your usage is like while using your phone.
With me on stock kernel, if I'm just browsing around XDA or the internet I'll get around 8 hours screen on time (at least from how long it seems. I haven't confirmed and actual length of time so it could be less or more). Whereas if I'm playing Shadowgun Deadzone constantly, I can still get around 5 hours screen on time with 4 hours constant play of it.
If I remember, I'll get some actual proof of my stats over the next few days.
Dont worry about it. Even I get about 4 hours only. This is with 25% backlight indoors and 75% outdoors and heavy regular use. We dont have wifi calling or anything like that here. It is on 3G HSPA+ network and I get just above 4 hours of on screen time till battery goes below 10%. Lot of people disable lots of stuff like automatic syncing and turn the brightness all the way down. I dont do any of that. My gmail, twitter, drive, G+, Pulse, Hangout are all running in background syncing and doing their stuff (the only thing I have done is to tell G+ to upload only on wifi ).
7hrs screen time is easily achievable on this phone with 12hrs + uptime.
Theres a dedicated thread on this already if u wanna go read how guys are setting their phones for this.
My use is as follows to get 7hrs...
*Wifi only browsing (no mobile data)
*Auto brightness during the day and low at night.
*Eliminate as much wakelocks as possible by not using auto syncs in apps etc.
*I'm rooted so i use "Greenify" to make sure apps go into hibernation after I close them.
*I use Titanium backup to freeze bloat ware I don't use.
Apps such as Skype, Facebook, Viber etc etc are Known drainers so keep an eye on them if u use them.
There prob more that I can't think if right now but with the above set up, you will easily get between 5-8 hours screen on time.

guys i am planning to buy sony liveview, is it working in our note 1 (n7000)? i there anyone using it?
Is it battery eater for our note?
I've got one and I've used it on my Note 1. The battery drain on the phone is not a problem it's the battery on the LiveView that's the problem. It only lasts about 4 hours.
I'm trying to get a cheap Sony Smartwatch.
If you have any problems then feel free to contact me.

Really? It only lasts 4 hours? Even if it is new? Why is it in the specs it says that it lasts up to 4 days?

It also loses connection quite frequently too.
It honestly does last for only 4 hours. Unless I've got a duff one with a weak battery.

It does and it also loses connection when the phone and LiveView are together.
If for example I wanted to go to the toilet and that is leave both Note and LiveView on a table in another room or take them both with you. Neither are ideal.
I'm looking at getting a Sony Smartwatch I think the time remains if it disconnects.

Is the option for location based wifi(Ortsbezogenes Wifi in germany) activated? If yes, Try disabling it.
Else you could Try flashing new Fw with FT

Sometimes have problems with wifi too. Disconnects and after a few seconds it reconnects. I also have to disable and enable wifi sometimes because I haven't got any connection to the Internet anymore.
I flashed stock Rom one month ago with wiping data but nothing changed.

Yeah it is pretty poor on the Z. I will wait on reviews before I buy another Sony phone. I like there phones a lot, but the wifi quality is just ridiculous. I replaced my router at home so I could access it in the normal spots at home my old iphone 3gs worked fine. I'm not looking at upgrading for another year, but when I do, I'm going to wait, look here, see what people say. Unfortunately with the Z, no-one really mentioned it being bad prior to me buying it...
It is better with some devices than others. We got these expensive cisco units at work, and my wifi at work is crap now. The old airport was fine...
My power management in my xperia z1 is having issue, i always need to clear data on eco mode controller and restart my phone to fix this problem because of inaccurate hours left.

Same here, with 4.2.2 I had like 17 days in standby but I saw when I reboot my phone, the time left switch to less like it will calibrate him self. To me is inaccurate anyway, there is no way to keep you phone alive so long like it show you so I will not be bothered about it. Make a calculation on your own.
I thought ur phone is already in 4.3?

Yes, it is. I was just saying was even worse with 4.2.2 but no big changes even on 4.3.
What I'm wondering is, how do you people know how many hours there should be left?
Does it not calculate this depending on the data you supply it with (your previous usage on cycles it has monitored)
Mine showed pretty low numbers very early on since I was fiddeling so much with it that the battery was flat pretty quickly.
Later the predictions increased, since I started to use it a bit less..
If you delete all the info it has to go on all the time, how will it be able to give you correct output?
how long does your phone last usually?
You say inaccurate, do you mean it shows too many or too few hours left?

In my case it shows always more than what he will really be on battery. This was with 4.2.2 and still with 4.3. You right about how it work and how the calculation are managed but really the calculation are untruthfully. I will never take in consideration what the phone saying so this was my only advice.
In my case my battery drains more if my power management malfunctiond and it bothers me..

I hear battery life is excellent... On 3g. Usually using LTE makes the phone take a nose dive on battery life when using it because that is exactly what happened to me with my note 2.
So is anyone using it with LTE? And if yes, what is the battery life like?
I'm seriously considering getting it day 1 but I need to know!
I'm using LTE at the moment. No root, using T-mobile, and my battery life is amazing. I have my bluetooth headset connected to it all day and I can easily go 24 hours without needing to recharge it while streaming music for most of the day and watching videos randomly while browsing the web and light gaming.
I never use wi-fi either.

I'm on T-Mobile LTE in Oregon. No issues here. Definitely the best phone I've had. I dropped it in the toilet last night too (accidentally) and it's still going without issue. I did turn it off and put it in rice overnight. The only thing I could see giving this up for is the G Pro 2.

I was worried when I changed from Sprint to Tmo last night, but after testing lte from my house is the SW burbs of chicago, I am getting 30 megs down and 10 up!!!
