How's everyone's battery life on M?
Mines been very inconsistent. First day it was very good. Second terrible.. Today...so so.
Doze works sometimes and others it doesn't.
Anyone else have this issue?
My Battery life went from 5.5 SOT on Lollipop to 1.5 hrs on M.

I've been reading a lot on these forums, and no one has seemed to address ways to improve battery life on the LG Revolution. I just got this phone a week ago and I've been averaging 13 to 14 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use (applications, e-mail, texting, etc...).
Anyone have any tips or tricks to improve the battery life besides rooting it?
Is it worth rooting it now with Gingerbread rumored on the way?
Thank you all in advance.
personally..GB isnt available with Verizon yet..I would look for any leaks or anything that isnt officially supported..unless you wanna try it..turn BT off..use wifi when you can..turn screen brightness to 50 on the bar..try to look for battery saving apps on the marketplace..just a thought

I just got the Decrapified Rom on mine today, and am seeing some decently better battery life.(i used to get ~12hours anyway with some heavy usage)
Also...when I rooted and customized SetCPU a bit I saw much better battery life. I was able to clock down the CPU when the screens off, or when the battery is low, etc.
Just some thoughts for you

This helps battery life? I always thought wifi drained battery. But your saying wifi drains less battery than 4G? What about 3G?
Check your apps as well. I was watching my battery drop a percentage in literally minutes. I thought it was just the phone, and that I had to live with it, but in my case it was Go Weather!!
This app is EXTREMELY bad - drains battery insanely, and even when you configure it, it keeps popping back up in the running apps and goes to town draining your battery.
Apps like that can make a somewhat average battery life turn into an insanely bad situation.
13 to 14 hours with moderate to heavy use???
I'm lucky to get 10 hours without any use. I let it sit on a table overnight, and the next morning it was down to 28%.
So I bought this phone 2 days ago and it's running Android 4.0.3 (LG Software v10e).. It's new, untouched, came out of box... Its battery drains unbelievably fast, with screen on, it drains 1% every 2-3 minutes and on standby it drains like 3-5% an hour. I did a lot of searching here on this forum before making this thread after I couldn't find a suitable solution nor any info about Android 4.1 upgrade. I installed "Battery saver" like 20 minutes ago and it seems to be doing better on standby now, no drainage so far in 20 minutes... I wanna know if it's worth upgrading to 4.1? I've seen a lot of negative feedback about it on other forums... How do I improve battery life on my phone without rooting it?
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks
Yeah another battery thread

I got the same quesition!
If u are not going to root it to remove some bloatware from Jb 4.1.2 just dont upgrade. Its not worth it.

On every custom rom i've got baseband_xmm_power wakelock loosing 50% battery so something is very wrong. It isn't just bloatware problem. I've got this on clean CM.
Get v20B mostly no wakelocks for me.

Download greenify and hibernate every app causes wakelocks my battery life increased from 15h to 1 and half day

I've been using it for a little over a day now and the batter life has not wowed me. I've seen better battery life on KitKat. That being said, this is not a final version, and a lot of the Google Services based apps aren't updated yet.
Please share your results of battery life time, and Screen On Time so the community can get a consensus of battery life running this new Developer Preview.
I have achieved just over 4 hours of SOT after my first days use.
Just my thoughts exactly.
Same here

It's horrible for me , dunno why . I've got only 2 apps installed , Tapatalk and another one . Miscellaneous is always on top :/ ...
Yea. I've been getting 5+ hours sot on KK. Not on Lollipop. November 3rd isn't too far away tho!
Hammerhead | L Developer Preview Final
Probably shouldn't whine around since it's a developer's preview but I agree with the above posts.. Battery life has been quite pathetic for me as well. Can't make it through a day on a single charge now.
Really missing ElementalX!
Back on kk due to heavy battery drain .. On first preview battery life was awesome .. Don't know what's wrong in the new preview . i hope the final build will be better
I highly doubt the final version will be any better. Less then a month away for final release. It takes a long time to find all those issues etc. It's going to be a work in progress for months.
The final version may be a bit better but I can't imagine 3 weeks is going to make a huge difference.
Absolutely fine for me, same as KitKat.
You guys are doing something wrong.

Apparently not... People who have wiped everything and installed only gmail/tapatalk are also experiencing huge drains even after a few battery cycles.
In my case, the phone sleeps just fine and goes to deep sleep without any wakelocks. However, when I start using it, battery drops down every few minutes and it doesn't even last a day. The overall drain is too much. May be few of my most used apps aren't fully compatible with Lollipop and hence the drain...

I believe the final version is ages ahead of this preview. IMHO they probably had to set up a more or less stable build for developers to test the final API, It doesn't mean the final version got much more changes.
They probably got the tech stuff done and released it for developers without caring of other changes, just technical to make sure apps would work...
Battery for me is being horrible too, got many batdrains but I think It will be improved on the final version.
At 65% battery now. Uptime 16 hours SoT 1 hour 44 min.
Lost 2% battery in 10 hours sleep this night while it was on wifi.
By the way this is the first battery cycle ever on this phone. Bought it yesterday, went home and flashed Lollipop right away then fully charged and started using it. So the usage has some app downloads etc.
The final version for Nexus 5 will not be in the 3/11.
Google will only update at that day the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, Nexus 9. (hardware without LTE).
Nexus 5 will be update to Android 5.0 later of November. (like Nexus 6)
I have this preview version and I see that the gpu driver need some polish.
Personally I get the same battery life on Lollipop than on Kitkat. Maybe little better especially when screen off. I had the "miscellaneous bug" and my battery suffered a lot but I removed many apps (G+ ?) and the battery consumption of the "miscellaneous" things drops to only few percents.
part of the battery life drain is due to the much more aggressive on-demand settings

Same here.. mostly the same battery life..
Overnight drain is reduced - the graph is pretty much horizontal during that time. Once you start using it though it doesn't seem any different.
Only thing I have installed currently is the google apps (chrome, G+, gmail, maps).
Please use the current battery life thread here

This is starting to get me depressed. I am close to pulling the trigger on one, in spite of the general consensus that Battery Life is Mediocre+. I had great hopes on Google's assertion that battery life on Lollipop would be improved. Now, most of the posts/reports I see are that Battery Live on MotoX2 is LESS on Lollipop. Clouding my decision again! Is battery life on this phone & Lollipop going to be that terrible?

The bad battery on lollipop is from a buggy build. It will improve.
Go and check the battery life thread in the general Moto X 2014 subforum. There are plenty of Moto X owners getting 5-6 hours of SOT.
Lollipop is producing battery life bugs on Nexus devices as well. Lollipop is a huge change for Android and Google will need a few months more to resolve the issues. It will be worth the wait.
Maybe they are encrypted. I am not and have great battery.
do you think the lollipop battery is draining more than the 4.4.4? post screenshot?
now i have phone idle as part of the battery usage.
Yes, I've noticed the battery drains a bit faster on LP than it did on KK. I'll add screenshots for LP when I've got some decent usage out of it but I don't think I'll be able to hit 6+ hours SoT.
For the change, do you think that LP was worth it?

I'm rarely away from a power source for more than a day, so for me it's all about the new features in Lollipop.
Besides, it hasn't taken that bad of a hit. I'm still sure I could edge out just under a day and 5 hours SoT. I'm just waiting before I post screenshots because it's the weekend and I'm on wifi at home not outside testing it on 4G.
i cant really see the diff battery wise, it seems about the same. variations that are < 1-5% are rather hard to figure out.
