Hi guys!
I'm currently using an S3 and I'm hoping to upgrade. My current options are a used Z1 or a brand new nexus 5. My main concern is battery life and screen on time! With my current S3 I get 2hours of screen on time or 2 and half hours of screen on time if I'm lucky! As you can see that, its really bad! With the Nexus 5 users have been able to get around 4 hours max.. Do you guys get a longer screen on time than that?? If so could you please post screenshots/ tell me how much you get?? I know it varies with the amount of usage, but every bit of information would help! Thank you so much
actually it's possible to get a 24 hour long battery life with 6hour screen on time.the stamina and battery saver mode is very efficient.

4-6 hours screen on time with stamina.. The stamina mode is truly legendary and I'm not even exaggerating
I also had an s3 and that battery was horrible, though stock Samsung ROM

Yeah, I get about 3 to 3 and a half. The phone does very well in standby though. I have no issues with the battery life, it does great for me. Though, I must admit the over 9 hours that the Z3 is estimated to get is tempting.

On my xperia z1 I have achieved 18 hours of battery life with 12 hours of screen on
I made calls (about 20 mins total) and played temple run for about 1 hour
Battery life is amazing with stamnia mode

Just curious what is everyones average on screen time for the i9305t?
I am averaging 2 and a half hours which i believe is piss poor...
Yeah I think that you're doing something wrong, I get a good 8 hours out of 24 hour battery, a longer battery if I use my screen less

how is that possible? 8 hours of your screen ON. Maybe my phone is a dud or something. Running 4.1.2...
mine says 4 hrs before battery completely drains

I would say I get anywhere between 3 and 4 hours screen time depending on how I use my phone.

Most times around 4 hours screen on time and 20 hours standby. My maximum where 5 hours screen on and 24 hours standby. But everyone has different apps, syncs.

Install BBS and check what eating your battery. Make sure your system runs without wakelocks. Some apps syncing a lot so check them all in BBS.
I'm getting 3hrs if I play games (Asphalt 7 etc) for more than 2hrs with brightness half way up only.... Normal usage without games and Auto brightness to minimum I'm getting 3-4 hrs over 24hrs (including 1hr+ voice calls)

Hi Guys,
I'm really getting pissed off with the Z1 now.. I use it quite a bit every day and I struggle to get 3-4 hours of screen time.. I'm usually on 50-60% brightness, LTE/Wifi with Stamina mode enabled and I've kept wakelocks to an absolute minimum. How the hell does the LG G2 get 7 hours screen time and not even do this? Is there nothing else I can do to increase screen time?
Thanks
Sean
I'd guess better cpu adjustments..?

Why should I adjust the CPU? Its as it is... I shouldn't have to undervolt or underclock to get better battery life...

if I don't play games I get 6 hours of screen time... 3g browsing... rarely use lte as 3g is more than enough for me...
If I play heavy games (Asphalt 8) I get 4 hours...
if I under clock to 1.7 ghz I get 4-5 hours of gaming...
my stamina is always on...
you can't compare to LG G2, LG G2 uses a new technology on their battery that extends the life up to 20%... and right now LG G2 has the best battery life out there... and their CPU governor actually under-performs the CPU giving it more battery life... thats why the bench marks scores on LG G2 are lower despite it having the same chipset as the Z1...

you can also check Note 3 forums and see that the battery last roughly about the same as xperia Z1

on average they get about 5-6 hours of screen time, without heavy gaming...
I just got my note3 on Friday and right out of the box the battery seemed way better than my s3. But after 2 days of using it stock and battery life seemed a little low at 3 1/2 hours screen time, I decided to root it and debloat all at&t and Samsung junk and battery doesn't seem to be much better even with greenify and power save on. Does anyone have suggestions to make the battery life closer to 6 hours screen time like I've been reading everywhere.?

My battery got to about 6 hours screen on time after I installed dynamic rom. The best I had was just over 6 hours screen on with a total up time of 1 and a half days.
Edit: currently I'm at 22% after 15.5 hours with 5 hours and 45 minutes screen on time.
I don't want to get to far away from stock. I just want to have "normal" battery life. I checked a few reviews out and almost all of them said they had over 6 hours screen time.

I would say it may be doable stock but it seems pretty optimistic to me. I guess you could turn brightness all the way down and turn on battery saver and other things but that makes the phone a bit harder to use and less enjoyable imo
Yea that's true I'll just wait for my zerolemon to get here :good:

On my first charge so we will see. Please post your battery life stats and pics.
Six and a half hours and it's almost at 50%. I had an iPhone before this phone, and if I used it half as much as I have been using my phone today, it would probably be at around 10-20%. I love the battery life. Screen has been on half brightness, WiFi/Bluetooth off, no battery saving mode on.

Here is what I have so far. Going to let it get to the power save mode before I charge again (IF that actually happens before I sleep), so I will post again then. This is mostly on LTE, btw, as I've been away from home most of the day.

That's good to hear. I've been using a One M8 practically in place of my 5s all day today and with battery saver on (only decreasing CPU speeds) but Wi-Fi off the entire time (just 4G LTE), I'm only down to 48% after being unplugged for 13.5 hours. Looking forward to what my GS5 will deliver.
Coming from the iPhone 5 (had the 5S, but got damaged so I switched back to the 5 during the waiting period) the battery on the GS5 is incredible. I'm just now doing a full charge cycle, so I'll report back later with some battery results, but I can already tell I will be very happy with this.
I just plugged my phone in so I wasn't able to take a screen cap. I was at 32% battery left with 16 hours on battery with about 4 hours and 2 minutes of screen on use. Most of the day was on LTE, but I did not turn off the wifi radio. All background data options were left on along with location services.
not great..barely got through the day with fairly heavy use. 4 hours screen on time.
Not doing so good. It is the first full charge so I will judge it after it has a day or two to settle in.

This is my battery life on Xperia ZR 4.4.4

Is this good??

I would say average to good!
For me it's awesome, my battery life is ****.. I need to recharge at least 2 times a day..
battery life depends on our usage. its different for every phone. even it changes from battery to battery. some batteries come manufactured with some faults. It also depends on mobile service operator. how often the automatic network config is communicating with the tower. Using 3G consumes a lot of battery power.
I was using Xperia SP before and its battery backup was so much better than ZR. Once battery lasted for 3 days. Can u believe it?
I regret selling SP and getting ZR.

Battery life has been worse in KitKat roms. On jb it was very good. Let's hope it improves on lollipop.
