Hi all,
I am new to this forum...just quickly asking if there is any Lt25i user on this forum having the same issue with the battery. I've been using it for about 8 months with a stock rom (4.1.2, all updated). It is good device in generally apart from the battery which drain itself in about 8 hours or 9 hours of normal office worker use (you know, reply 20 or 30ish msgs or a couple calls total 30 mins tops, play around during lunch time, on a HSPA+ network, not LTE, about 20 apps installed on the device and no games at all).. and sometimes you can see the battery percentage drops down by one or two percent when you have been whatsapping continuously for about 10 mins..That's so much quicker than the other phone that I have (Galaxy S4). any one experiencing the same issue? what would you recommend? I am planning to flash the rom but not entirely sure which to choose. Your response is appreciated.

Youre not alone buddy. Although to many causes frustrations, if I'm just texting (whatsapp) I just leave it on Edge, or disable mobile data when im not using the phone. It's when I'm surfing the net that I'll leave it on HSPA+.

A lil battery optimization even on this 'tiny' battery by 2014 standards could have gone a long way.

To be quite honest, 5.5 hours of screen on is pretty darn awesome for any Android phone except behemoths like RAZR MAXX or Galaxy Note models.

However, with HSPA+ always on I can only get around 3.5-4 hours SOT at 15 plus hours on battery. The OP should install BBS and check what eats his battery on the background. 8 hours is pathetic.

My galaxy note is not even lasting a day with 1 or 2 call and mostly online via wifi. On checking battery usage stats i find the screen consuming most of the power.
Is this mormal for note?

Since Galaxy Note has a huge screen, it is pretty normal. In fact, with normal usage, it is usually NOT normal for anything else to take more power than the screen.
With normal usage, the battery life usually really dependent on how long the screen is on. I also suggest you turn off wifi when not in range, since searching for wifi connection while none are available drains quite a lot of power.
44% is normal, but lasting only a day with a couple of calls is not.
Firstly you could turn auto-updating of apps off, as 9% is quite a lot for Market to use.
Secondly, do you need media sharing on? That's using 11%.
I have wi-fi and GPS on at all times and have no problems lasting 2 days with moderate usage.

I think what the OP means is that he has had a couple of calls and has been browsing the net a lot (also judging by the Opera Mobile consumption), so, depending on the amount of time spent browsing the web (with screen-on), the battery time could be OK.
Nevertheless, the tips are good.
Ah, I see. Yeah, unfortunately web browsing is a killer. Makes you really appreciate sites with a dark theme / lights off option
It is almost impossible to get more than 5 hours of screen on time. Check that.

I think it strongly depends on what you're doing.
Playing a 1.5 hour video only used 18% battery for me, giving a projected video playback of over 8 hours. But it was a video of standup which is mainly dark greys / blacks.

Depends on how bright your screen is, and what colors you are viewing.
You can web browse like crazy, especially opera mobile, if you go to 'green on black' mode i.e. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326434
My screen brightness is really low with the screen Filter application. But still I get about 16 to 20 hours.

Yup its very true...... Watching Ring 1 (almost dark all time) for 2 hrs drained battery from 100 to 81 % only. On the other hand, whatsapp (uses full white screen)continuously for 45 mins drains almost 20 %
So it really depends on for what time screen is displaying white (or brighter colours) on how much part of the screen.
Hence now i m using custom whatsapp in dark mode with black background, it helped in a lot.
What is your normal battery drain when your phone is idle? I have an hour and 15 minute drive to work each day and my phone sits idle the entire time when I get to work I notice that my battery has drained about 3%. Is this normal or is this high?
I'm running teamhacksung build 16 with glitch beta 3, of course this has been the case for every ROM I have installed. Btw I keep wifi and gps off at all times and I'm syncing only gmail.
The reason I ask is that I was given an iphone for work and I couldn't believe the battery life, of course I could never leave android for apple...I just can't customize it...
Thanks in advance.
3 % a hour, that's high, im on kk4 based rom & kernel and my cappy drained average 1% per hour

Perhaps during your drive you are going through some areas of weak signal where the phone needs to work harder to stay connected.
You can look at Settings to see what has been using your battery during that hour and a half.
That's similar to the battery life I'm getting. I think I can get better drain if I don't overclock

I have seen my phone idle between .5% to 3% based on strength and stability of signal, no other factors involved. Since traveling at vehicle speeds = less stability. It's probably the reason for your loss, you can try different modems to see if one talks to the towers better so hand-offs go smoother.

Here are a couple screen shots I took after my phone was sitting on the counter idle for a little over an hour.

Yeah I'd say that 3% in 15 minutes is high - I probably drop 1% to 2% per hour or so when idle (but I keep wifi and mobile data disabled when not in use).
Even when I'm work though where my cell signal is weaker I don't think I've ever seen my battery drop 3% in 15 minutes.

Use any battery saver application from playstore .. it shows ur battery status ...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
Very fast battery drain is normal for this phone. There are lots of battery related threads, people have gone to great lengths to make the battery last longer.
Right now I can use it for about 9-10 hours constant usage, no rests (internet browsing/IM/some music/few phone calls/syncing On - all with a very bad 2G internet connection) before it runs out of juice completely. But that's after underclocking, reducing display brightness, installing JuiceDefender and a few other measures.
I check battery usage on the phone. And i didnt expected! My cell standby use almost 60% bat! What a sock!
I'll try 2xbatterysaver. And my packet data turn off when screen gets off. :sly:
Some sacrificing makes perfect!

Just use the deep sleep option to make ur fone go to sleep..i use deep sleep for about 12 hours each day ..
(its not deep sleep..its drunken sleep )
You can use Battery Monitor Widget to view the app's with more consumption of energy. What ROM you use? In CM7.2 u can do underclock easy.
Yes! Thanks! I already get cm7 recently. You know, my batt pretty awesome now! Nice rom.
Thanks for your info.

In your hunt to save more and more battery, eventually you'll notice that if you're giving max priority to the battery save, your phone's performance is related in inverse.
Such as, if you use Juice Defender, (I bought Ultimate), it shuts off the wifi / data while screen is off. and when we turn screen on, it will switch on back. During its switch on, phone will lag.
I have been using Ace for 8 months now, what I finally chose is performance. fak the battery life, enjoy the speed.
say what?!

q&a?
I hadnt noticed it myself, I will have a look soon though
Same issue here..
Almost 200mb via 3G and 2GB on wifi.
It was done during the 1st week after flashing JB, it did the same after flashing another JB ver.
Hmm I never had this issue...1.5 GB for one month is a lot! Looking at the graph I think some app or data was downloaded in one instance (looking at the vertical leaps). And this was repeated at least 3 times within the month. Judging from the leap sizes the downloaded content was about 150-200 MB?
I am having this issue as well, the difference is that in my phone takes 8-10 megabytes per day. Using the better battery stats this is what I found
Do you have any idea what can I do?
Thanks

Mine uses very little, don't use wifi very often though. Have a 2gb data plan and wifi in the house is poor
Same here. Every rom has crappy battery life with data on. A lot of wakeups. On wifi everything is ok. Probably a ril problem, maybe some devs will figure it out.

I don't have the high android OS usage anymore but i still have crappy battery life with 3G on. Last night i worked 3 hours, didn't use my phone and it went down 10% o.o. Every forum has the same answer: 3G is a batterysucker, but this wasn't the case with my Xperia Arc and my Nokia e71, those phones gave me a great batterylife on 3G. I really hope someone can find a solution for this, because now i can never make it through the day with 3G, while with wifi i can make it through two days.
I posted a thread on Original Development area. Please post ideas there. Thank you!

Download Better Battery Stats. Search Google and xda and learn how to use it. If you post some info from that it makes it much easier to help you. Post some screenshots of it after a full charge's worth of use. Even screenshots of the built in battery usage from settings would help, but BBS is better.

Here you go my phone charge was 70% when I removed from charging. If you want info from 100%- below 10% den I will take them as well. Mobile networks are on 24 hrs just to inform you.
you should go to setttings/ power management, battery consumption to check which backgrounds apps are using the battery. It is more useful for you. Based on stats from bbs (dont know if you have tweak it correctly), you are playing music when the phone is off. Check if water is in audio port.
