Just picked one up yesterday as well. Makes it feel like the phone I had previously which was an EVO with an extended battery. I like it and for 25 bones right now it's hard to pass up.

It make the phone more comfortable to hold for me as well. Enjoy.

So how did it go? Are you still on the original 1st charge from yesterday?

Just got my EXT. Bat. today via Fed EX will give it a full charge tonight and test hard tomorrow, almost feel like the bionic is to lite with orgin. batttery in it??

Very good design on this extended battery

Alright!!!! So I last charged it this morning @ 830am...it is now about to be 8 so almost 12 hours now and its @ 50%!! So my usage consisted of checking emails, texting, facebooking, lil bit of checking xda, twitter, and a couple of very short calls so I would say my use was at moderate through out the day...I'm very happy with the extended battery!! I think I had done my normal streaming of Pandora or iheart radio (around 2 hours in the office) that it would still be going right now

I just received mine today. Then I hit a brainstorm. I popped it into the external battery charger and it started charging. So, I thought to myself - why not have 2? Added bonus - I'd have a spare back cover as well.
Et voila! I went back to VZW and ordered a second one today.
I'll be popping mine in late tonight and seeing how it goes in a non 4G area with WiFi on, GPS on, etc....
I'll probably try to condition the battery as well as I can also, draining it as far as it will let me the first time and then fully charging in the external charger. Same with the next one that comes in.

Nice I'm going to.go home and use my quick charger!!

I like the weight and feel of the phone with the extended battery. Feels a lot more like my Thunderbolt, which is what I am accustomed to.

Ugh....can't believe I missed it. I just got my phone yesterday, too.

This is my first run with the battery. Hour and a half GPS, gaming, phone calls, 2 hour Rdio streaming, hitting it pretty hard before I went to bed. Woke up and used it even more.

Dumb question for anyone using the extended battery. I got mine earlier in the week and it doesn't really seem to last any longer than the standard battery. Charged it all the way up and the most I can get out of it is about 8 hours. I don't really consider myself a heavy user either. Do you guys find that you have to run it all the way down and it last forever on 5% or does it just seem to overall last longer for you?
Thanks

Also received mine yesterday. Has been off the charger now for 12 hours. 2 of those hours were spent streaming slacker radio which I am doing right now still. Battery is at 40%. Also I have been browsing the internet, facebook, and xda all day. I am very impressed. I like the weight of the phone too. It feels solid and well built, kinda like you know your holding a powerful machine.
Edit:I also have had skype active in the background all day and 4g turned on.

Sounds like you may have an app or several apps that are constantly syncing in the background. I can go all day with the stock battery. When I used the extended battery, I went all day and had 50% left.

Thanks for the reply, I just did a factory reset and am gonna roll with that for the next day or so. If its not that I read somewhere else that there may be a batch of more power hungry phones. If this continues I will exchange it I guess.

Why I think battery life sucks so bad...

I usually have a multimeter on my counter for my ecig mods, and, since I change batteries pretty often now that I have spares for my thrill, I'be been randomly checking thier voltages. What I've found is that a "dead" battery is at ~3.7V. That's not dead. These phones should discharge to something like 3.2V. Anyone have any idea as to why they would read nominal voltage as dead?

After few more charges, it discharges to about 3.43V, still high I think, so I'll keep an eye on it.

What you're saying actually makes sense. The system has to calibrate itself to the battery. This is why battery life tends to improve over time as you discharge and charge the phone. There are ways to kick start the process but eventually it will do it on it's own. My battery life has tripled after a couple weeks.

i am wondering why i have fully charged and discharged my phone numerous times and my battert is horrible. its gotten worse. i unplug it with 100% at 5:30 a.m. its now 9:40 a.m. and im at 62%! i have sent 2 text messages this morning and my app manager has no open apps. Why would my battery be so bad? i have had this phone since the day it came out and love it. im not real familiar with all the "rooting" or all this fancy stuff but i do know that the phone should have a better battery life than it does.
Does anyone know what i should be looking at to see what is killing the battery so fast. almost 40% in 4 hras and i havent even used it?
thanks.

Try installing a ROM that removes some of the services that a stock rom has this way will save your battery time a lot

I have installed several ROMS i am new to the LG Thrill but with my previous HTC G2 y used cyanogen but as per this is a 3D phone cyanogen is not ready yet. But the best rom i have tried so far has been the thriller
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261704
although is missing good things from the newer firmwares like the 3d app converter.
But i'm ussing the thriller Rom until LG releases the Gingerbread official update that comes with great new stuff

Here's what I've found out about the battery. It's apparently a known issue by google addressed in later updates.
Here's a great method to work with it for now.

This mine with 48% battery life left. I found out on mine if you play one of the 3d games and don't exit out of right it continued to run and eat the battery. I use wifi where ever it is available. Always leave it on unless I am on the road then I turn it off so it won't be hunting for a connection. Have gone 28 hours and have 30% battery left.
Had phone since September 4th and battery life has improved tremendously. Stock and unrooted.

My phone is stock and unrooted as well. i charged it this morning from completly dead. started to charge at 6:30 am and took untill almost 11:00 before it was a 100%. now it is 1:30 pm i have sent 1 text message and thats it except meybe waking it up to see if i have missed calls or txt and my battery is down to 44%! 2 hrs really? i have not used it. Wifi is on but should not be sucking that much juice. i trashed the yahoo news app. my weather app is set to update manually. i dont have anything special done to my ohone like all these forums suggest the "rooting" or special rom's. it pretty stock.
I have used the battery calibrator app and it didnt seem to do anything for me. anybody else have other suggestions? i basically get about 3-4 hrs of battery life berfore having to charge unless i use the phone then i get about 2.
oh yeah and my wife has the same phone, some battery issues but i think her's is normal. so to see if it was the battery or my phone we swapped batteries. my original is in her phone working fine and i have her's and still crappy so i know it wasnt just a bad battery.
what do i do next??

You could install CPU spy from the market and see what it is showing you. See if it ever gets into deep sleep mode. I also use battery monitor widget from the market to see what all is using battery.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

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.

4.2 battery life.

I think it's obvious there are some serious flaws with 4.2, everyone has made that evident. I just wanted to ask you guys what kind of battery life you all are getting out of your N7 with the new 4.2 update?
EDIT: Im not so much worried about the battery life regarding 4.2, just battery life in general. Ive got everything turned waaay down and am only getting roughly 20 hours with moderatly heavy use. What do you guys get?

Same as 4.1.2 I believe. I can't tell a difference.

I actually haven't had any issues as of yet. Been running it only a week. I did update all the apps right away, which a lot of people that had problems related them to the apps.
Haven't had one force close and battery life has been right on par with 4.1.2.
Sent from a galaxy far away!

So far mine has gotten better. I cant say for certain this is due to 4.2.1 however since I switched ROMS and Kernels to get it. But it certainly hasn't gotten worse!

Getting two days out of it which is perfectly fine with me. I get the same out of my Asus Transformer Infinity as well. Seems reasonable to me. What type of battery life were you expecting our need? Can't find a time to charge in a couple of days or something?

Ohh ive got the time. Was just curious as to what other users were getting. Guess i just expexted more battery life outta the N7. I usually get one solid day of use out of it, granted i do use the hell out of it and so does my girlfriend

I think that the batery life when you flash 4.2 is very badly.

I generally charge daily due to extremely heavy use, a few hours worth of gameplay while at work and use as my primary computer while at home. But I have went as much as 3 days with just light browsing here and there.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

My battery life hasn't been that great when i was on 4.1.2 i lost like 1% over night now im losing like 15% even tho i just charge it up it seems thats its the Android os and google services thats killing the battery. I never had that much battery drain untill 4.2- 4.2.1
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I've got to say mine's far improved... To be honest I've now set WIFI to off when in standby and screens always been down to 25%, so I'll get 2-3 days out of it with average use!

EVERYONES battery usage is going to vary... Wifi on during sleep with media syncing etc etc.... Is going to be much higher than me turning off wifi on sleep and not that much stuff running, etc...
My N7 is still at 100% if I take it off the charger at 9am and don't pick it up until 1-2 in the afternoon, which happens sometimes when I'm busy at work. There have been days that I didn't touch it all day at work and got home at 6pm and it's still at 100%.
In actual use (news, browsing, etc, not games) I see about 13-14% battery usage an hour, depends on the backlight. Games or movies, more like 16-17%.
And I've seen no obvious difference between 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.2.1, etc....

My battery life so far has been amazing.
I always make sure it is fully charged when I leave my home at 7am. I have syncing, wifi and gps always turned on. While traveling I watch videos most of the time (around 1 and a half hours video screen time in total). During the day while working I use my N7 for web browsing, social media, taking notes, agenda stuff, etc. Most of the time I'm home around 6pm. Then I have about 60-70% left. I'm using stock 4.2.1, no custom kernels, root or roms whatsoever right now. I could make 2 days with quite some heavy usage, which impresses me a lot.

Took a screenshot of the battery run time. This is what I'm getting with basic web surfing and watching YouTube.

Battery life has been good so far. I'm running a 3G Nexus 7, as said previously though it is all relative to what you're doing with your device.

12hrs of moderately heavy use for the OP, and he's complaining about batt life?
Isn't the batt on these things only rated for 10hrs anyways? Maybe I'm missing something here. Google states 10hrs for reading a book or browsing the web, and only 8hrs for 720p video.
OP - i'm sure your batt life went down, but you DO realize that you're already getting more than it's rated for, right? There's so many factors that go into determining batt life, that's it's impossible to give a realistic figure.
Who knows how many apps you have in background, your WiFi signal strength, brightness of display, etc.

My battery life had been crap since day one.

Light day today, off the charger at 9am, this screenshot taken at 6:10pm. Used for 30 minutes according to the screen on timer, about 20 minutes of that was doing something on a server in irssiconnectbot and the rest was probably "glance at the weather" or "next meeting" etc.
It was at 100% around 2pm ish when I was in a meeting using irssibot, it dropped 3 or so percent while I used it there. I've never noticed this, but if you look close under the graph, it appears to have an bar for device awake, although it's dark blue and thin.

Are you Serious?

really? i barely used the phone. everyone is turned off except wifi and i did not even use the the browser. this can't be real. only that much time and it's almost halfway dead and i barely used it. i know there have been battery threads before but man... how can it be this horrible. btw juice defender don't do crap, i've had it for the today and yesterday, was crap so i uninstalled. had brightness are low as i can without making me squint.

I've had relatively poor battery life as well... I went 12 hours with a recharge from 10 to 50% again before it completely drained...
I'm not impressed with the battery on this phone but everything else has been great.
... I'm starting to think I'll have to make my own Qi Charger for pant pockets... embed it in your pocket so whenever the phone is there it's charging. I'm seriously considering trying this to see if it's possible... if so, i'm doing it for sure. Or a carrying case with an extra battery and a Qi Charger... or a Qi charger dock for the car... you get the idea. Wireless charging shouldn't be the fix for poor battery life, but it definitely could help it.

Task managers mess around with Android's memory management and it is fairly well known that they usually end up draining more battery than they save. Try getting rid of it.
Also other people are reporting that the battery life gets better after a few days of using. Is yours really new? Im not sure how true that is btw.

Probably a combination of that task killer and a wake lock.

Install Franco's kernel. Battery life has been outstanding (1 Gmail account sync, 1 Exchange account sync, maybe 30 minutes of calls and 100+ texts a day; I have location services & Google Now enabled as well). I average 3+ hours screen on time and I normally end the day around 30% ...
I would stay away from task managers ... it's not that I know what's going on more than you or anyone else, but well established and respected kernel developers recommend against it. If these guys don't know then I honestly don't know who else does ...

Yep...20-30 minutes won't tell the tale. I'd also recommend Brightness Toggle widget...allows a few extra steps (16 total, IIRC) of brightness control over stock, to fine tune screen brightness, often another culprit.
