[Q]Galaxy Gear Battery Drain - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hey guys
I just want to tell you my battery cycle drain .. I always have bluetooth turned on my gear but not necessarily all the time connected to my phone .. well the cycle from 100% to 0% was 35 hours..
Is my watch draining fast or is the drainage normal?
Thanks in advance

There really is no "normal" discharge rate. Discharge rates will be different for everyone because everyone uses the watch differently. If you can go more then a day without charging, your getting good performance. Or not using it much.

[Q] How long does it take to charge your phone?

As topics says and like your battery is under %20 percent approximately how long does it take to get it fully charged
About 1.5 - 2 hours
Mine seems about the same, however if your using the phone wile charging it takes a lot longer, which is strange because there should be enough current to charge and use simultaneously.
1 hour 45 minutes from 25%, also I have juice plotter installed and theres a widget that you can put on your homescreen that changes from time left to how much time it takes to charge when it is actually charging which is kind of neat.
ty i think my phones charge time is increased will try tonight again
3:35 from 0 to 100

yep! for a moment was wondering if there was something abnormal with my phone.

You guys could try a 2 amps charger (such as the one that comes with the ipad), theres some evidence it will charge faster, although not by much.

30 seconds.
(battery swap )
But seriously, about 3 hours from empty to full on the charger that came with it, and about 2 hours with my 2amp galaxy tab charger.

True when I charge my GS2 with my Galaxy tab charger its dramatically faster.
._. there must be something wrong with my gnote then ... it takes around 4h30m to fully charge from around 10%... and even longer if using phone at same time...
I had several smartphones and this one is the one with the worst battery ever ... my dell streak's battery charges faster and even tho it also has a 5" screen, its 1500mAh battery lasts longer with the same usage.
Yesterday my gnote battery took 3h30m to go from 100% to 13% just from playing 2h30m of games and 1h browsing... innaceptable! and I do use betterbatterystats and I have few wakelocks that could be draining battery...
This phone charging scheme is really crappy, as I understand from my use, while charging instead of the charger powering both the phone and the battery at same time, I think it only charges the battery and the phone is always powered by the battery alone...
I din read about it yet, but I almost sure the gnote works like that, cause if i use Skype video call for example, i only get a 1% charge increase around every 10mins, which is really ridiculous ...
plus, while with my other smartphones I could take out the battery while charging it and the phones would keep powered, same thing doesn't happen with the note... battery off while charging, phone also off, which can only mean IMO that the phone is 100% only powered by the battery even when charging...
Besides making it take longer to charge, won't the battery life also decrease that way?..

Battery Problem

I have noticed in many roms which I tried.......our galaxy ace does not show correct battery %........when I put my ace for charging at 15-20% .......when I check after 5-10 mins battery jumps to directly 55-60%.....and when I remove charge battery drains suddenly to 25-30%.
And when I left my phone for charging for more than 30-40mins phone says that it is charged!!! Wtf
And experiencing sudden drain to 60-70%!
Can anyone help to improve that!!!

yesterday night while watching some movie for fun i slept and phone drained fully as player moves on to next video automatically..
after waking up charged phone for about 25 minutes and my phone was alive for 9 hours with some 10 texts and 15 min call
Man, if you wanna stay out of this inconsistent battery readings then just blindly charge your phone for more than 2 and half hours. Also use, "Battery Calibration" after full charge every week.

It is not recommended to use phone while on charging (battery point of view), calibrate battery now and hopefully issue will be resolved. Let the battery die completely and then full charge it (switched off if possible).

Battery life on 4.1.2

Hello all,
After updating I am getting less battery. I am totally stock. Anyone on the same boat? Share your thoughts.

Well, Im happy, before around 4 hours, now 5. :thumbdown:

Mine is better
With moderate use* I went from 18 to 22 hours. I am happy...
* My N7 is not my daily driver, my pc still is... So it sits idle more often than not...
I'm totaly happy with the battery... getting at least a day and a half with normal use.
after updating its definitely drainng fast.
No drain here. I get 10-12 hours a day with heavy use and easily a day with moderate usage. Was roughly the same before update as well.

First of all hello everyone
Yeah I've literally only had my Nexus 7 a matter of a week but I can tell the difference between the battery per and post update. It seems go drain a lot quicker!
Any tips on how to save battery and keep it for as long as possible bar the obvious app killer etc...

If anything, mine has got slightly better. Used to have less than 18% by 8pm, now its more like 25%. I use it pretty much all day for YouTube, Engadget, Flipboard, Tapatalk, Chrome, music and a couple of hours of games.

4326mAh battery, 2A charger, 2.1 hours theoretically. Realistically, 2.5-3.0 if pretty much empty.
If you're using a non standard cable or charger, who knows what the charger is actually outputting. If you're charging from your computer USB Port, that's 500mAh, so 8.6+ hours. Some random phone charger, probably 1000mAh, 4.3+ hours, etc.
The brightness of the display adds to some of the drain I notice, when possible I keep mine somewhat on the dimside, obviously if I'm in an area of bright light and it hard to see then I'll crank up the brightness.
Can't complain about battery usage.. It's amazingly energy efficient even on a stock kernel considering the horsepower this thing has.. I average 20hrs or so with moderate to heavy usage.

I am very satisfied with battery life. 2 and a half days with 4,5 hours of screen on. IMHO not bad at all.
I'm getting 7.1hrs non stop. Games, movies, social apps, chats, YouTube literally non stop. :beer:

I think battery life is pretty good
I've had really bad drains since 4.1.2. I think I've narrowed it down to an issue with Google Play. I've noticed it several times - Very good battery life, but then it will go down fast, even when sitting unused. If I check battery usage, Google Play is always number one with >50% of the use.
If I force close GP, all will be well for about a day, but eventually it happens again.
I also felt it, but only by that much...not too obvious. From full charge, after only night idle, drop 3 percent compare to last time 1 or 2 percent

battery life
Hallo!

Anyone have good solution?

Charging over night good or bad?

Can I charge my z from night till morning everyday? Will it swell up the battery or decrease its battery life?

Battery have protection, so You can leave it over night. In the morning You can find batter on 92-96%. That is no problem, it is some kind of overcharge protection. When it came to 100%, it stops charging and start discharging to avoid any battery or phone damage.
I read somewhere that it is good for the phone to be on charge often. Its the charge/discharge cycles that wear out the battery. The battery is only good for a certain amount of charge cycles. For example, if the battery goes down to say 60% then you charge it back to full, thats only 20% of 1 full charge cycle (40% of the discharging half of the cycle = 20%).
I always have my phone on charge overnight. I just updated from a 2 year old Xperia Arc and the battery on that still lasts as long as it did when it was new.
If you think about it, if its on charge and reaches full, it isnt really using the battery is it? Its running off mains.
charging overnight is not bad but letting your battery drain below 10-15% is bad. it is best to charge from 40-50%
For lithium batteries il better charge from 80% To 100 than 10% To 100... The battery is Less stressed... So.. For me over night it's ok, The battery has protection But charging from 10 To 100% no..

Mine is on charge around 80% of the day, yet maintains it's original battery life when it's running off its own juice.
I don't see a problem, the only issue I can think of is that using the phone heavily whilst on charge causes the battery to heat up and this can sometimes be felt through the phones casing.

I use a 350ma charger, it takes about 4.5 hours to charge over night, ( about 7.5 hours). I believe slow charging and not draining the battery too much is the best way.
