Sooo. I have had my Optimus 2X for 2 days now. I charged the phone fullt before goint to bed and left wifi on. (should turn off when phone sleeps)
The first night i lost about 3% of the battery. Great....
But... The second night i lost 42%!!!
I have been trying to investigate the issue and after some digging with spare parts i found out the wifi was on all the time the second night... Also for some reason car home allways runs in the background (starts at boot and restarts if killed) and spare parts claims car home uses the phone sensors 100% of the time.
Anyone else having battery draining issues?
Im going to charge 100% again tonight and run with no installed user apps. If the problem persists i try and freez some of the loads of sys apps that run in the background all the time.
I also noticed some battery drain on mine but not over 40%... its more like 20%. The battery really disappoints me anyway. I have to recharge two or three times a day?l maybe thr battery needs to get trained over time, I hope...
You found a solution yet?

My battery already holds up alot better now, then when i got the phone four days ago.
About 60-70% left after a 14 hour day with some surfing, benching and calling/texting. Much better then my Desire on stock ROM, but still nowhere near the Desire on custom ROM.
Looking forward to some community goodness
BTW, removing carhome.apk seems to make quite the difference.

That's good to hear. Is it common for batteries to act this way? Talk about wildin' out.

In case anyone's interested what "carhome.apk" does, Google explains it here.
With mine no problem, wifi actived, all the night it's abourt a few %
I nerver seen that on my olders android phones

Quick question about best used on the battery ...
Should we dry the battery to 0 for the first cycle ?
Or only to 20% ?
Is it bad if we start to charge the phone whent the battery is at 60% ?
On the contrary:
modern Li-Ion batteries don't like it if you discharge them to a minimum. Moreover they don't have the memory effect that you seem concerned about.
In a nutshell: Charge your phone whenever you can, at any charge level. Your battery will thank you.
On the first few charges though, you should always charge to 100% to help the battery gain her full efficiency
hey thx about those informations
but then i'm concerned about people saying stuff like "have been doing 3 life circle" for me it does mean they put the battery dry clean ...
Went to bed with 64% charge on the battery. When I woke up (8 hours later), still 64%.

What's your usage like?
Hmm... My phone last for 6 hours before drained... Had it for a week now... Takes about 2 hours to fully charge up again..
I even hardreset, turned of wifi etc... but alas, 6 hours and it was out of power again...
And that was just by being in standby.
If I actually use the phone, I can see the percentages going down from 100 - 0 in no time..

7 am: Full charged
After 2 hours of 3g, 5 hours of wifi, heavy texting, 30 mins of call, 30 mins of games
7pm: still has 36%
Not bad for an android phone.

Can anyone with an HTC one tell me about how the battery life is on yours and what helps make it go longer? Because I would call the battery on mine awful.

how does one describe awful? i think mine is good, my definition of good is about 20hours of usage and 4 hours screen on without any tweaking or power saver
My brightness is all the way down I'm on WiFi and I've been browsing the internet for 35 min and in 35 min the battery has gone down 20 percent.

you cannot judge the battery based on short bursts of usage, provide some information when you have used the device for a few days, otherwise you might get banned from this forum

60% left with 2 hours screen on is alright
I just switched from iPhone 4s and 2 hours on would have only drain my battery maybe half that at most
so by your comments, iPhone 4S would be at 50% after 2 hours and your HTC is at 60% after 2 hours?
No I'm saying my 4s would be at 80percent easily
Great battery life

I have no problems making it last all day (Unplug it when i wake up, and charge it when going to bed. Don't need much sleep, so on average thats an 18 hour day). Most of the times I have around 40% left.
Yesterday I was on a Skype call for 2 hours (voice only) and it used about 25-30%. After that still lots of messages via viber which meant waking the device often and quite a lot of screen on time. Also played a game (Mini Motor Racing) for about 10 minutes, was on facebook from time to time. All this mostly on WiFi. Actually used the "regular phone function" twice for about half an hour total.
When I got home I had ~25% left.
My phone is rooted and has a custom rom on it: ARHD 9.4 with ElementalX Kernel. (slightly overclocked, cant remember exactly, but I think I mostly went with the default/recommended settings on the kernel)
What really improved my battery life was to stop using Battery Monitor Widget Pro, even if I love graphs and stats etc.
Right now I'm using GSAM Battery Monitor to keep an eye on apps misbehaving.
The phone seems to do a good job handling screen brightness. Sometimes I turn it all the way up using power toggles.
What can really bring down battery life is turning on Best WiFi performance in the advanced WiFi settings menu. So you might want to check if that's turned off. My WiFi / data is set to be always on.
Hope my little tips/experiences help you a bit. This phone is truly the best one (in the smartphone department) I've ever had when it comes to battery life. It even has my girlfriend wanting one and she's had every iPhone. Of course I take great pleasure in letting her know how awesome this phone is.
[EDIT]
I have had the One since April 25
Todays stats (phone unplugged for 10h22m)

Hi all,
I having issue with my note 9, and I’m new to using note, is a 4% drain normal? Unplug at 12am and not use since and this morning I check battery was at 96% at 6.45am
How long have you had it. It takes some time for it to do battery optimizations but that drain doesn't seem too bad.
tat is only my 2nd or 3rd charge, have it only for 2 or 3 day
I have been draining about .7% an hour since I got it. I wish it was little bit better but the SOT more than makes up for it.
Sorry, but what is SOT? Screen on time?
So now on android ppl use SOT to measure if a battery usage is normal?

I have the same issue
I have snapdragon n9600ss first I have enabled AOD and sleep like 2 am and wakeup 8 am check and 90%
I disable AOD and now have 94%
It's the same percentage I have with my old s9 but with AOD so I don't really happy with battery
I will wait 2 weeks and see if get better

Wow I'm telling you some of you people have some really unrealistic expectations. Your complaining your phone looses a few percent in 6-8 hours. What do you expect? If you don't want your battery to drain then turn off your phone or plug it in. And then don't come complain you miss calls or have to have it plugged in all the time becusse your worried about a few percent while you sleep.
YoshiYino said:

Preferable to not leave it plugged in at night if you want to lessen the longevity of your battery.
~.7% an hour is not bad. With root and older phones I was able to lessen to 2-3% per 7-8h. Ideally that is what you want, less than .5% an hour. But we don't have root. Other ways to get less drain at night during sleep is to turn off sync or airplane mode or better yet turn your phone off. But as I said .7% an hour is all day for me in standby. I don't even know what it is at night, probably less.
I've been getting well over 10h SOT and had another hour or two of SOT left should I have chosen to drain down to <5% battery. I have been able to get 8h+ SOT over 36h on a charge. Your expectations are unrealistic as are many others on here. Be realistic or get another phone.

That's interesting has to be a app causing the drain what third party apps do you have installed? the screen res wouldn't affect anything in terms of battery life because the screen is off. I charged last night and I'm at 16 percent right now on WQHD almost been 22hrs since I charged my phone

10hrs of SOT? That's crazy I think 6 was the most but this battery definitely gets the job done for me

Change the resolution to WQHD+, the power saving is too little to worth the downgrade of screen quality. Tested on s7e,s8+ and s9+ and read about it for note 9.
Also worth to note that iphones tend to show less drain at high percentages and then speed up after below 60%, i.e. if you leave the iphone over night with 30% battery, most likely it will drop 1-2%. Still, iphones standby is a little bit better vs android and samsungs. I achieved 1% drop over night or non in M8 android 4.4 times, not since them. My best is around 0.3%/h via root and custom tweaking, for samsung stock it's normal to have 0.4-1%/h. Hope that brings some clarity.

How do i see what apps is draining the battery?
I don't use fingerprint sensor. No smartlock too. But randomly my a2's processor stuck in maximum frequency! It drains battery on idle. Anyone else having this bug?
Yea i have this problem too..
Confirmed here. Battery is draining really fast after update
I've reported to xiaomi. anyone else who see this thread please report to xiaomi
holy sh*t, again?!
Since the august patch I've decided not to update my phone anymore, seems like a good idea now... I'll just wait for android P release.
Q&A in Xiaomi is really bad it seems...
Mine is really normal here, both days after updates. My usage was quite light but the stand by time was still great.
On mobile data most of the time and location always at high accuracy. Stock, no root.

See yours Screen on Time is just 1h...
While losing 39% battery
Mi is insen
Better battery backup will be
10% charging drop and Screen on time 45m/1h

I know that sot was only below 2h but considering remove the phone from charger 19h ago and also streaming music on Spotify for 2-3 h, I think losing 39% of battery is reasonable. SoT is not the only indicator for good battery life imo.
I also got this rate before oct patch.

Does the battery last you through your average day?
Or does it drop steadily by 2% every 3 minutes all the way down to zero in a couple of hours?
The latter scenario would be worth investigating.
