Hi all,
With lot of enthusiasm i bought this phone last saturday but now very disappointed ....
I had most of the android phones since G1 era but never looked back.....
This phone is disappointing me with just 6 hours of battery life even with moderate use.....
Tried all custom roms but no use.....
My question is that do u also have this battery problem and its common or do u think i have a diffective phone ?

I used my phone today for twitter, emails, few calls, whatsapp. From 7.00 am till now 11.03 pm (23:09) i have still 43%. But it is for smartphones normal to charge every day. Not the forget: my screen is on max. brightness.

In my case the phone lasted outstanding 3.5 hours the first time I charged it.
After that it is much better. One day I finished charging the phone around 10:00 in the morning and 22:00 in the evening had 30% battery left. During that time I took 40 photos with it, did some internet browsing, few messages, played some games, also used GPS for a while, so the battery should last 12+ hours of normal usage.

I am getting my phone today and Ill keep that in mind. Thank you!
Just for the record, it can last for a LOONG time if you let it.
I forgot my charger when i went on easter holiday, shut off all data transferrs etc (since i was in a different country anyways) and only 2G network.
Phone lasted for 4 days before i could charge it, and it still had 30% left.
I've heard the first few battery cycles aren't too good but get better, I was a very heavy user when i initially got it so i can't comment

hahaha mine lasts for 2 weeks but was closed
U ever touch this phone
It would obviously last for days if your hardly touch it
All I want is for it to last one entire day (about 15 hours?) on heavy usuage (surfing, texting, social networking). I hardly play games nor use the music player (have an mp3 player for that )
The iPhone 4 was perfect for me in this aspect. The battery lasted 1 full day no matter how heavily I used the device. No, I am not a fanboy but I just like how well iOS manages power.
After the iPhone 4, I had the Dell Streak and with Juice Defender installed, it was pretty decent too. I dont know why I am here in the first place. I still havent gotten my 2X yet. Its supposed to arrive in a few hours. Ill try it out and let you guys know how well it performs.
Cheers.

You should disable "Auto-sync", disable "Automatic brightness". And what ever apps you install, dont let it auto-sync or auto-update, then you should be good. Now, it dont even drain my battery that much even thought the dataplan was on most of the time.

if i disable all and off all the apps, then y do i need this phone??
and yesterday night (12 AM to 8 AM), my battery was down by 50 % in idle
as suggested by other friends lets see until this weekend if i can see any improvement on battery front.....
If you battery goes down 50% in idle overnight then obviously you have some sort of application running rogue and preventing the phone to actually go to its sleep state. Which would also explain the heavy battery drain during daytime use.
Mine use 2-3% at the most in idle overnight - and I have no troubles whatsoever to get a full days heavy use - usually I get 2 days with moderate use. I also have an Iphone4 and my LG have better batterylife than my Iphone4, my LG also has better batterylife than my HTC Desire.
I also bought an O2x for my 17year old son - who is a very heavy user, music and videoplayback, games and constantly texting - his phone also lasts a full day with no troubles.

I rooted my standard LG O2X, then i removed the crap that LG brought on default..
(Twitter/Myspace/Facebook for LG, LG Home, LG AppAdvisor, FSecure Scanner etc etc)
Now my battery life is without further mods about 30-40 hours with calling, texting and some browsing (wifi enabled)
If you ask 1000 persons how long the battery life of their lg ox2 is you will get at least 500 answers
I can say at beginning i was shocked, but after some days the battery life gets better. Atm after 4 weeks i can say my battery lasts at least one day, depends on the degree of usage...
By the app "Ultimate Juice Defender" you can increase the battery life by factor 1.5. (sometimes i can use it for 2-3 days without charging)
Remember : If you drive a Ferrari you have to refuel a lot
No smartphone differs much from that...

Correct - and you may have some luck seeing if Watchdog can pick it up. Otherwise, charge your phone, and turn it off, then turn it on, and unplug it just before you go to bed. In the morning, you can check what application used most of the battery.
Mine uses about 1% per hour at night with JuiceDefender. Before I installed JuiceDefender the battery would go from 30% to dead overnight, preventing my alarm from going off.
JuiceDefender lets me get through the day. More specifically if you let JuiceDefender disable the data connection when the screen is off. You'll still get Whatsapp messages / emails etc if you let it sync every 15 minutes or so, without excessive battery drain.
Web browsing is also a super battery killer, I swear the battery goes down 1% per minute while browsing.
I have used many android phones and never used this juice defender..... actually i hate stop using apps for battery.... android is made out of apps....
Currently i have taken out my SE Arc and using it which is giving me 1.5 days of battery with heavy usage.... i will reset the LG phone this weekend and see, if not i would have to sell this hog......

For me there were a few apps that were stealing my battery away. Like IM+, Skype, etc. You could see that in the secret menu "how much time has this app kept the phone from sleepin".
If I turn on flight mode (no more connection) it doesnt even care when it lays there for two nights. I lost about 5% in two days without plugging it in AT ALL.
But that's not the POINT of this phone. You don't have it so you turn off everything and spoil your fun.
THE POINT IS *smashes desk* TO HAVE THOSE APPS.
If I couldn't be IM'ed all day where would the point of the phone go? For me... away.
I have had it for like 3 weeks now. When I have those things on in the background, it doesnt even last like 9 hours. It just runs flat without me even using it a lot.
Once it went so far out it died in like 3 hours WITHOUT ME USING IT. It started to run hot without any reason and draining the battery like I attached a freaking laptop with a dedicated Nvidia CPU to it. It drained the battery faster as if I was using it! I haven't yet found out what causes this. Sometimes it does it and runs empty on it.
Oh well D:
Heres my first full discharge of my newly purchased N5. It was all light usage as noted below. 70% of the time i had good signal.
Took off the charger at 100%, went to bed. 8 hours later, 96%
40 texts exchanged
10 minute voice call
35 minutes of music via BT
40 minutes of GPS
screen time of 3hrs
total time of almost 2 days

Something I was looking forward to. This suggests the Nexus does have great idle time. And the drain is mostly because of the screen. People are expecting magic with such a screen I guess.
I have been using for the last two days, haven't cracked 2.5 hrs on screen time.... I need to keep tweaking

not sure if this will make a difference for you but 3 things that i did is getting me 4+ hours a day screen on time easily. turn off location services completly (just turn them on demand if prompted), disabling google now launchers always listening option, and my personal best fix, disabling tilt scrolling in the chrome browser. tilt scrolling is a little janky atm because it never actually shuts off, so chrome is always registering any device movement in your pocket or whatever even if the chrome app isnt even open, and disabling that helped a TON

Mine has been great today. I have gotten almost 4.5hrs screen on time and I'm still at 38%. That's with stock rom/kernel and Google now and sync on. Granted that today's usage was mostly on WiFi by it is still much better than my N4 was.

Does anyone have this issue with their Nexus 5? I don't have a sim in it yet (waiting to get my micro sim from T-Mobile). But man, Gmail is absolutely destroying my battery life.
I'm sure my battery life would be awesome if this wasn't happening.

So long story short, my battery life isn't even close to being on par with most screenshots I see. People claim to get 5 hours of SOT on a heavy day while my phone is struggling to pull out 3 hours on a light day. Last time I started a thread people told me to wait until lollipop, but it still hasn't improved and its been a month after I took the update. I barely reach 18 hours on a really good day but most days I'm stuck with 11-12 hours before my phone dies. I can't remember the last time i had over 3 and a half hours of screen on time on a phone that's easily supposed to pull 4.5-6. I've tried everything, disabling apps, radios, ect... Any advice? Any chance i can complain to Motorola and have them ship me a new one that could possibly solve the problem? Please help because it's very frustrating that the only reason I bought the turbo was for battery life and I got almost the same battery life with my old S4
i am on the same boat. Get 4 hours hardly in 15 hours
At least you get 4 hours SOT with 15 total I've never gotten more than 3.5, and if I ever make it to 3.5 I only get like 9 hours total
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the HTC 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I like this idea and I'm surprised there are no comments yet! Indoors usage I'm getting around 7 hours screen on time if I skip gaming, could get more if I didn't visit my GF place cause the reception it's crap over there, but I'm pretty happy with the current result
Wtf! I'm getting under 3 and I'm a light user. I just browse the web, open yahoo mail and do a little raiding in COC and that's it. What is your guys secret?
Getting constantly around 5 with stock settings, social networks, some gaming and camera.
I get about 4 to 5. But it's also over 24-32 hours total, and a decent amount of music streaming over bluetooth. So if I instead measured over 16 to 18 hours instead, and didn't stream over bluetooth so much, I bet I could 6+.
Mostly around 5 hours SoT.
I have been getting anywhere from 3 to 5 hours with mixed usage. I believe that the phone is still trying to balance though, I have only had it for like 4 days. Hopefully I can get to 5.5-6 after the system gets into a groove

Whats your brightness? Are you on data or Wi-Fi? Is this 3 hrs of sot with over a day of usage? Are you listening to music as you use phone? Do you have an Android Wear device? Way too many variables. It is better than your previous device based on your usage.
P.S. it's always best to compare only with yourself using other devices as nobody uses a phone with the same exact settings and each little configuration adds up to such disparity. Ex: Once had my S4 die in less than 3 hours with straight benchmarking and the same device have over 12 hours of sot and like 5 days off the charger.

Also there's 2 types of panel, could be useful to include which panel you have as I wonder if that might cause different results. My screen time is pretty rubbish, it's always the highest thing using the battery. I think I get around 3-5 hours using auto screen set with a max around 1/2 which is worse than my old M8 and is really annoying me as I struggle to get through the day.
I've got the Sharp panel.

Only problem with comparing SOT is different people have different apps and habits, it's impossible to categorize everyone into light medium and heavy usage groups.
Personally I usually get around 3 - 5 hours SOT and I consider myself a light user and I am trying to get the most from my phone.
Itd be good if there was some kind of comparing table where different apps and their footprints were taken into consideration.

The phone is amazing!!! I'm using debloated stock Verizon firmware ( stock rom as well) rooted. I do use aggressive doze option in greenify app which is the only " battery saving" feature I have.
I use my phone quite a lot for making calls, snapchat and little bit of gaming ( world of tanks blitz for about 30 min, amazing game by the way). I couldn't be happier with the battery like and overall performance of the phone. HTC has made a good comeback!!!

Anyone with non-stock ROMs and Kernels getting better?
today was my first full day with the 10 and i only got a little less than 2 1/2 hours of SoT (just plugged it in when it hit 10%)
i was connected to wifi almost all day, and streaming music for about an hour.
also i noticed that it lost about 10%/hr while just idling. i unplugged at around 9am and it was down to 85% at 1030 with literally zero usage.
definitely super disappointed with the battery life so far, but i'm sure it will improve over the next few days.
also this is the TMO US version.
My experience pretty awesome so far
Loving the battery on the HTC 10. Coming from a Galaxy S6 that could barely get 2 hours SoT this phone is a treat.

As long as you keep wifi off, you can get 6+ hours of medium use across 1-1.5 days out of this phone. I got 4hrs+ SOT over a 4 day period with light usage. Only condition is wifi can't be on. With wifi ON, the phone won't last a day of light/medium use.

I bought the phone in September 2017. The battery used to last entire day but has been draining really fast recently. I hardly get 4 hours with a full charge and continuous use either browsing or watching videos.
Is this normal after two years? Do i replace the battery?

I get barely 2-3 hours of browsing/spotify these days, on low brightness. Something is draining my battery like crazy since a few days. All was fine 2 weeks ago, but I changed nothing and suddenly it started draining really fast.
