Haha. Yea, he's showing that his battery meter is not accurate. Lol.
I lasted 3 days and 9 hours with my $10 extended battery. It was at 1% for a good 36 hours of it.
On my standard battery after 16 hours of "normal to light" use, I'm usually around 60%. As long as I don't have to charge it during the day, I'm happy. Plug it in every night when you go to bed and unplug it in the morning, you will last all day.

lmao wasn't the planning on that ill give a more accuarate battery in a few hours i actually went from full at 12 pm to about 5 brinking me to 10 percent in 5 hours

Other than the incorrect meter LucasMN, how much better is the extended battery in terms of single full charge. I am debating on getting an extended battery because I use my droid heavily throughout the day for work. I charge with the same habits as you. With my current standard battery I get to about 50% by 2pm (my day starts at 8:30a)

I cannot compare it to the standard battery as I've never let the standard get lower than 30%.
3 days and 9 hours on the extended battery included 2 full work days. I work in IT and will quickly check e-mails throughout the day on my phone. Out of the office I use it quite a bit for facebook and streaming music. 95% of use was over Wifi though.
I bought the battery + cover off ebay for $10. It's about 3x as thick as the original battery.

So I was a bit concerned about battery now seems to be pretty good strange how some days I get 5 hours to 20 percent now going on 7 at only 50 percent

Can't post screen shot since phone is stuck at motor screen atm, but...with a dim screen, cal'd battery and debloated rom , I can burn through a full charge OEM extended battery in half an hour or less. I use a ton of SMS...

a half hour for a extended battery are you freaking kidding me and i thought this was bad i sms a lot too facebook and xda mostly through the day that is just crazy i am still at 50 percent and now at 7 in a half hours looks like i might make it to almost 12 on this one

when I get to a PC and unfutz my bionic ill screen shot it for you. To be honest I have always been a battery abuser though. BB curve to storm to og Droid to d2 and now bionic...all had to have extended batteries.

I would love to see this. With my extended battery, I stayed at 1% for over a day though. Unless yours is powering off, I bet that would be the case. 30 min for an extended battery, even an OEM standard battery sounds like BS to be honest, unless it is physically damaged.

I don't know what happened to mess up everyone's battery life, but when I flashed the 904 update mine all went away!

4.2 Insane Battery Life! Project Roadrunner?

I don't know if it's just me, but I've been experiencing some insane battery life of my N7. I've gone about 4hrs on battery, wifi on, and battery hasn't dropped even 1%. Anyone experiencing the same?

Without a doubt. Before 4.2, my screen on time topped out at 5 hours. Now I can pull 6 hours.

Sounds off. No change at all in 4 hours? Can't be correct.

There is no way that's accurate... Power down the device and power it back on. See if it still says 100%.

YES I am having insane battery life as well. Still 100% and hasnt changed after 3-4 hours. Will keep observing

I noticed the longer battery life also. When a lot of stuff is running sometimes I will use the ES Taskmanager Kill app and when I did that there is more free memory than before and even when a lot of apps are being used there is more free memory than before also.

HOLY. Definitely inaccurate. I notice a small increase in battery life, but nothing that big. I get like 30 minutes extra.

Ok.. Just powered down and powered back up..
Nothing changed.
I won't plugged my n7 til it dies.. See how long it'll last..

It's not strange on a devices with such a big battery to last 4 hours on 100%. Notice how the screen is rarely on?

That seems inaccurate but battery life is definitely better

That's what I was thinking. But since I bought the device, it hasn't done this. This is either a bug or battery life is extremely increased!
On 4.1.2 my battery drops 1% in 16 minutes of the same usage. This is definitely way beyond!
Still monitoring it.
Might as well play a few games to see what happens.

There is definetely a bug with battery readings.. It is likely drop more than normal , once it drops to %99.

Ok. I did a bit of NFS and it brought my battery down to 95%. Now to see if it'll drop normally.

...

I think your battery stats are jammed, I'm not seeing anything like that at best 30 - 40 minutes of extra battery, which is still nice. If your right your device is drawing power from the air around it

I had very simalar resdultsvwhen i flashed the ota url. But i flashed the factyory image the other day to start off fresh and no longer have reults like this. I'm not saying I'm getting bad battery... Far from it. It's just not the same as when i flashed the ota which is strange.

My guess is the update just messed up the battery app like it did everything else.Keep your charger handy so when your tab shuts down and it still shows 100% you can charge it.

Galaxy S4 Active Battery Life

Just got the phone today and have not had a chance to calibrate the battery but the battery life so far is horrible compared to the original S4.
Anyone else experiencing bad battery life on this phone?

I'm the opposite. I had the S4 for a week and a half and traded it for the Active a couple of days ago. My battery life has been better than the original. I've got this phone set up the same as I did the s4 too. It probably just varies on what apps you have installed.

I am experiencing the exact opposite. The battery life on my S4 Active absolutely smokes anything I ever got on the original S4.

My active is better on battery than my S4 also. Set up exactly the same

I traded my Active for the regular S4, the aqua looked good on the website but disgusting in real live. I'm getting much better life with the S4 running the 9505 firmware and some of the Samsung features turned off.

These are just a few shots of my battery life. This is standard and sometimes it is a lot better:

I get the same battery life as joshuadjohnson22. Usually about 3.5 hours screen on and if im lucky I can survive 16 hours on a charge.

The battery life on my Active is far better than any other phone I've owned. I got 5 1/2 hours screen time yesterday with over 16 hours uptime. Still had 15% left when I replaced the battery this morning. Never seen anything like that before.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda premium

I had the S4 for a few days and I was worried because my battery would be drained in less than 8 hours. Coming from an S2 that I had to baby to get through the day I was worried. Ever since I exchanged the S4 for the Active I don't really worry about playing games, even for a couple hours, because it easily gets me through the day.

Disable the only big battery drain I had was maps constantly updating my location. I disabled that and run on power saver. I woke up at 6am this morning and its 7:30 now, I still have 59% left. I used to average 22 hours on my old captivate so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I realize that having a phone that out performs most PC's is going to munch some milliamps.
I'm rooted, debloated, and try to avoid constantly updating apps. I use better battery stats to "tune" my usage too.

I had the phone for a week, and after a few days my battery was draining like crazy (lost 90% overnight with everything off).
I went to the store and got a new battery...so far it's been amazing. I think my back cover may not have been 100% locked in to be honest, not sure if that would affect it or not.

I used to get between 4-5 hours on screen time. Stand by time doesn't mean much. I have noticed that the display is brighter so that could do it.
I also tried the battery from my S4 and same results.
My original battery is on charger. I am going to charge to full and completely drain it and check on screen time and report it.

After I recalibrated the battery it is looking great now. 1 hour on screen time only used 10% battery.
I will keep you posted.

The battery on my active is much better than on my regular s4. The standby time is actually good. My regular s4 always loses about 15% an hour in standby with nothing running.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda premium

I never lost hardly any battery at all in stand by with my regular S4.
I also set my GSM battery app to disable apps I don't want to turn on either (ATT Locker, ATT Wifi, etc..)

I am at 13hrs with 30% remaining. I have 2 email accounts, weather, and a network monitor that sync actively. So far, I like this, coming from a note.
I just declocked the cpu today and intend to do some more dabbling.

Lasts from waking up til bedtime for me.

Do any of you use the CPU part of the power saver mode? Is your phone slower and do you see more battery life using it?

I just use my phone without worrying about what is on or off...the battery has been that good for me. I don't have any clue why, but I have never gotten battery life this good out of any previous smartphone.

Loving the battery life of my S4 Active, better than my Note 2 on Verizon with Beans.

Should I get one?

Hello dear XDA friends, Although I don't post a lot I still love you all .
Anyway, I am really tempted to get a Mate S ($/€319) after my LG G3's screen basically broke in half, the battery exploded and the touchscreen only working 10%, it's basically useless right now and I need a phone to replace it for a while until I decide what's going to be my ''real'' phone (I hate Apple but the 7+ Camera is amazing but then again maybe note 7 refurbs will be cheap.) So yeah I need to bridge the gap and I want to gift it to a relative when I'm done with it.
So is it worth it for 300 bucks?

Hi,
I have the phone since 3 months now (rooted and latest rom version) and it is in overall very good but the battery. Screen is very great but although there are a good device manager, it doesn't stand a full day without reloading.
Also you can see from the different posts that this phone is not very popular among Android's cooks. So not a lot of answers and not a lot of tricks and tweaks. I regret the time I had a Nexus 4 where community was very active. Anyway, as I am really focused on battery life, this is the real flaw of this phone for me. But I guess there are not many phones that could do better.

What's the longest screen on time you got?

It actually depends what you gonna do with this phone.
I own it for last 8 months never really felt need for better battery during normal usage.
My typical usage with all the time brightness at auto and slider at max ( which on huawei even when inside usually means 80-90% brightness ) and outside always even when is dim day is 100% or boosted screen mode ends up with average 4:30-5h SOT with around 18-20hrs on battery. This is with about 60% wifi 40% 3g.
This includes bunch of social apps, youtube , music, calls, sms, light gaming of around 1hr per day.
The great thing about this phone is its soc and screen, the to S-amoled it never gets hot thus for it doesn't drain battery life fast like snapdragon devices.
Biggest fall of this soc is its GPU it isn't as good for heavy games like s810 devices for example.
If you're not a gamer I highly suggest this phone. If you have more money I suggest p9+, its a beast in all regards.
Here my current battery life stats

As you can see, I charged my phone and unplugged at 00.14. Wi-Fi off and no mobile data, no screen on. No apps running apart from home launcher and myProfile. All others are greenified. So in around 8h sleep it decreased by 20%.
I tried many tricks and I consider myself skilful for this (my LG G2 could last 3 days) but cannot do better with this one. The ROM is not good enough yet and update frequency is not good.

Got the LG G4 so this one can be closed

V2 battery life

My replacement is not as good as my V1. It's a bit lower. I used to get close to 7 hour SOT. V2 I get about 6.

I don't even care right now, I've got bigger concerns. I've had several freezes across several different apps! I was looking for a thread where others have had the same issue but haven't found one yet.
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app

It really depends on the crap that's running in the background and some of it doesn't even show in the program list under battery usage. V2 in my case runs much more efficient than V1. Right now I'm at 78% with 1hr 40 SOT, total run time over 12 hours. But to put things into perspective right before exchange my V1 started running 6% battery usage per hour, IDLING and nothing extraordinary showed up. I would charge it before sleep and in the morning it would be like 50%. After killing everything I didn't use it went back to normal and then I exchanged it, so never figure it out which particular program was causing this, but if this happens again I won't rest until I find offending apps and out will it go.
BTW I have everything on: GPS, NFC, BT, Wifi etc.

I'm getting awesome battery life. I'm even running a gear s2, GPS on, Bluetooth on streamed music. Only Facebook disabled.
I do run it in mid power saving mode though but 7 hours with 19 percent left ain't bad.

This is running it down to 8%. Changed themes but it's same usage day from previous post.

While my SOT this cycle isn't much, I'm happy with the battery life.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

That's good considering you had 1 day and 14 hours of total time. My SOT was with heavy use so total time was less. I'm happy too. SOT is comparable to my old iPhone 6 Plus. Only thing is standby time on the plus was much better. That doesn't matter though because I love the features of the note 7 better so it was a trade off.

I've been getting pretty much the same as before. About 4 hours screen with 20 total.
