Last friday purchased HTC Incredible S, since I'm kinda hardcore user of phones (previously had old crap Samsung Tocco Lite - was surfing on internet + listening music, without problem could survive 10-12hrs nonstop use), now when I tried same with Incredible S, it end up that after 2-3 hrs of surfing + some app using for awhile, I ended up at 30-35% from 100%. I did turned all syncs off, brightness to minimums, turned of almost everything and all tasks, so it was just like test for how long surviving it with no internet(wifi/mobile),any sync, any sound/vibration and low brightness - it survived 1 hour longer then before. Like srsly 400£ worth phone with battery what can't hold even 6 hrs?
P.S. first try with apps and such was record for 4 hrs, next test without any apps etc etc survied 5 hrs...
The battery gets better in time.

I see that you have Incredible too, how long your battery lasts when using atleast 2h of app/call/internet usage?
same here, I need to keep charging it. maybe upgrading the kernel and rom helps.

I'm seeing this aswell. The more i use my phone the better the battery gets.
my battery does last 1day 12-15hr. All sync on, mobile networks on, background sync on. Normal use, that is incredible.
well when i first got my IS, the battery life is ridiculously short, from 100% -> 20% in 2 hrs of intense use!
But the battery life is getting better at day 3 (around 5x full charge cycle), do the calibration thing, use till 1%, but make sure phone is not dead, and recharge to 100%, redo for like 5 times.
If battery life still sucks, i think you get a bad battery
My battery lasts 9 hours of intense use (Wifi,3G,Games,Surf net,Listen to music)
Hello
I have installed Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check battery consumption. You can see so which are the applications that drain more your battery, tipically the display.
My battery runs one full day, even one and half with Wifi and BT always ON and normal telephone usage but if I switch on 3G it decrease rapidly and sometimes cannot reach one full day.
So in my case the 3G connection drains a lot.

I've had mine since late april and I get a whole day, at least, out of it. Yesterday, I actually went 24 hours without charging it and I still had 30% left. The only "syncs" that are on, are my gmail, weather and Whatsapp. I can definitely confirm it gets better with time!
has anyone ordered from Amazon.Co.Uk, I was wondering if they can refund for phone, so I can take instead HTC Sensation :/
Anyways, I got this phone like 3-4 days ago, now I'm trying to maximally drain it with apps/games to get that battery life up
sense drains your battery...
and also 3g drains it if you have a unstable connection
what i allways do is out of the box, drain it 100%
charge it 100%
drain it 100%
charge it 100% and your done...
might be a ghost story, but surely seems to work for me, however 12hours and mine is empty as fk, with gaming, bad 3g connection, wifi, gtalk etc.etc. aka daily usage..
but thats cuz im running cyanogenmod, which isnt 100% stable yet
Do people not read anything these days? You're complaining about battery life of a smart phone... None of them last longer than a day or two max. Not to mention it's a new toy and you can find yourself on it more often. Checking the battery constantly kills your battery. Tones of widgets kill your battery.

I do understand about 1-2 days of uptime for phone is ok, but mine doesn't survive even 6h +_+ , contacted HTC and they said that battery is fauly.
ANyways... I dont use widgets and actually turned of all sync and stuff like that to prevent battery drain, even in airplane mode, it drains from 40 to 5% (to complete dead) in about 1-2 hrs
I find battery life pretty poor. After charging to 100%, it can be down to 90% within half an hour - without really even using the phone. I can turn on the phone at 7am, and it will be down to between 50 and 40% by 11pm, never normally enough to get through the next day.
I'm going to try some overclocking to see if that helps.

Overclocking will drain even more battery, downgrade better speed of it and it should save battery
I've found that for the first few weeks of having the phone, the battery life will be crap... cause you're generally always messing around with it.
Lately I've been getting two work days out of a charge (6am to ~6pm the next day). I rooted the phone, uninstalled a bunch of bloatware, and set it to underclock when the screen is off (although I'm having issues with that one at the moment).
I'm thinking to buy other phone instead of this (amazon is accepting this for refund/replacement now), so I was thinking if it's worth take Sensation instead of Incredible S?
Is the O4X's battery life as bad as gsmarena is saying? Just a little over 4 hours of video playback and 4 hours of web browsing?
If you read the comments of the blog article on it, you will see that there is a lot of discussion over the brightness.
By comparison to the SGS3 and One X, the Optiums has a much brighter screen which will mean a lower battery life. Of course if they set all the phones to the same actual brightness (not percentage) the numbers would be different.
I am currently waiting delivery of my 4X, but after I have conditioned the battery (let the handset configure itself to the battery), I'll definitely be seeing what its capable of.
Alright thanks, I hope you'll be able to get back to this thread when you find out more.
I've had mine since friday and I think I've charged it about 3 or 4 times now and the battery life is getting better. It lasted only about 2 hours when I first charged it and started it for the first time. But I was using it constantly.
Today I started it in the morning (fully charged) before going to work and now, 10 pm, it's been on for about 16 hours and I have 40% left. Data have been on all day and I've been signed in to Google Talk all day, I've browsed the web for a total of aprox. 1 hour, used the camera, tested the GPS and been chatting with a friend on talk. So I'm pretty satisfied so far.
It's better than my O2X.

That's good to hear. How many hours was the screen on?
I'm not sure unfortunately. But i would say between 2-4 hours.
Edit: okay it was a little less than I thought. The. Battery usage in settings says the screen have been on for two and a half hours. And that's including the time I have used after 40%. I'm down to 25% now.
My Battery lasts after a few cycles all over two Days with medium Usage (No gaming - WA, FB, eMail)........
i ca go for 1 day, with a bit gaming and usual use.
I have slightly longer battery life on my 4X HD than on my Nexus S when using the phones in the same way (casual use). But I think there is room for improvment on the battery life with more optimized software either from LG or when we start seeing custom roms for this device.
I charged mine to 100% and just dropped 8% in 25 minutes, 20 minutes of that was driving and not using the phone, no Bluetooth or anything like that. The battery life is shocking and can't wait for extended ones to become available. Besides that I truly love this phone

How many complete charge cycles have you done?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
When I got my p880 I did 3 battery cycles, and I could only get about 8 hours of standby alone, no other use at all. I then did a factory reset and formatting of the memory card, which I hadn't done when I switched from my old SE X8. Now my p880 can easily go more than a day with some gaming, calls, browsing etc. My guess is that old android files on the memory card was the reason for the bad battery life. No expert though, maybe someone else has a better idea.
Today I tried the Chrome browser, and it really drained the battery. Something like 20% after browsing for 15 mins. Anybody else have experience with this?
Overall I'm really happy with this phone, great screen, fluid operation, good battery.
I've had battery drainage issues with the chrome browser as well. Even in stand-by the browser would drain the battery. It has only happened like two times for me in the four weeks i've had the phone, so not a biggy but still something you should be aware of, if you experience battery drainage issues

Mine is better
With moderate use* I went from 18 to 22 hours. I am happy...
* My N7 is not my daily driver, my pc still is... So it sits idle more often than not...
I'm totaly happy with the battery... getting at least a day and a half with normal use.
after updating its definitely drainng fast.
No drain here. I get 10-12 hours a day with heavy use and easily a day with moderate usage. Was roughly the same before update as well.

First of all hello everyone
Yeah I've literally only had my Nexus 7 a matter of a week but I can tell the difference between the battery per and post update. It seems go drain a lot quicker!
Any tips on how to save battery and keep it for as long as possible bar the obvious app killer etc...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
If anything, mine has got slightly better. Used to have less than 18% by 8pm, now its more like 25%. I use it pretty much all day for YouTube, Engadget, Flipboard, Tapatalk, Chrome, music and a couple of hours of games.

4326mAh battery, 2A charger, 2.1 hours theoretically. Realistically, 2.5-3.0 if pretty much empty.
If you're using a non standard cable or charger, who knows what the charger is actually outputting. If you're charging from your computer USB Port, that's 500mAh, so 8.6+ hours. Some random phone charger, probably 1000mAh, 4.3+ hours, etc.
The brightness of the display adds to some of the drain I notice, when possible I keep mine somewhat on the dimside, obviously if I'm in an area of bright light and it hard to see then I'll crank up the brightness.
Can't complain about battery usage.. It's amazingly energy efficient even on a stock kernel considering the horsepower this thing has.. I average 20hrs or so with moderate to heavy usage.

I am very satisfied with battery life. 2 and a half days with 4,5 hours of screen on. IMHO not bad at all.
I'm getting 7.1hrs non stop. Games, movies, social apps, chats, YouTube literally non stop. :beer:

I think battery life is pretty good
I've had really bad drains since 4.1.2. I think I've narrowed it down to an issue with Google Play. I've noticed it several times - Very good battery life, but then it will go down fast, even when sitting unused. If I check battery usage, Google Play is always number one with >50% of the use.
If I force close GP, all will be well for about a day, but eventually it happens again.
I also felt it, but only by that much...not too obvious. From full charge, after only night idle, drop 3 percent compare to last time 1 or 2 percent

battery life
Hallo!
Same problem, battery drain is faster, with normal use 12 hours (before 17) and when charging phone it's just 99%. With factory reset same resoult. Now I try without all gps conections.
Anyone have good solution?
This is my second day with the phone, and I am worried about the high
battery use from phone usage. Photos are not included below because although I've been an XDA a user for over 6 months I still have not posted 10 times. Apologies.
46% Remaining, 5hr 46min on battery
28 minutes of "Voice Calls" = 23%
1hr 23mins of " Screen" = 23%
Am having the issue as well... Very bad battery life

Were you on the road? ( even then its exorbitant).
I believe its 4.2 and not the Nexus4 because im on 4.2 on my GNEX and the battery is ****.

People talk on cell phones?
I have had good days and bad ones with the N4, but like I joked, I don't use the "phone" more than maybe 15 mins a month.
I'm seeing more posts about N4's battery and started to feel worry i'm happy with my 4h+ screen on my s2!
Hopefully custom roms/kernels enhance battery life!

I sincerely think that we should wait for the official release of this phone. Some of XDA memmber should be able to get their hands on by the end of this month
Yes

So is the general consensus on battery life that it's good enough to get through a day with moderate type usage? One of the pros of active notifications is that it decreases your battery usage because you're not constantly waking up the phone to check notifications and time, right? I was kinda meh on the whole customization thing til I just went through Moto Maker and I kinda fell in love with what I designed. I know I like the size and on-screen buttons a whole lot more than the Maxx. It's just a question of whether I can sacrifice the larger battery and I know I don't need the two full days, but I don't wanna be stuck on a charger before one day is out either.
Any review online is saying it's above average battery life.
After a full charge, screen time over 3 hours with 55% battery left. I'm impressed.

I got a pretty much linear drop in battery regardless of usage yesterday. I put it on the charger after about 18 hours, but it would've made it to at least 24 had I left it off the charger. The interesting thing is that I had it hooked up to my car stereo to listen to music for a 2.5 hour drive, mostly with the screen off, and there wasn't any noticable difference in battery life. Also, I could hear stuff in the music i've never heard before, i.e. the sound is amazing.
Battery seems real good

After almost a week of using it, I actually find the battery life is a bit annoying in a good way though. I am not a heavy user. During the day, a dozen of times of youtube+netflix during breaks, a few phone calls and sms, while outside always have gps on. At the end of the day, I have about half battery left. To charge it over the night is somewhat electricity waste. But not charging it is to leave my next day somewhat anxious. So yeah, maybe I am too greedy in hoping for two days no charging. My Nexus 4 really requires at least one charge a day and this habit has grown on me. Oh well...let's hope after JB 4.3 update, X's battery life can be prolonged a little more
For the people that have posted stats. Is your battery saver on or off?
My best battery cycle was 31 hours standby and close to four hours screen time. It died before I could take screenshots though, will try again on this battery cycle.

I'm on my second day and the battery isn't that great so far. Right now I'm at 77% after 6 hours and only 30 minutes of screen time. Also Android OS is the highest battery user at 35%.
Awesome battery... Verizon's, fully charged this morning and now I'm at 13 hours later, 4h 15m screentime and still 33% left.
This is with battery saver off, brightness auto
Also used blutooth audio for 30 minutes and GPS for about 20 minutes.
Loving the battery life and not sure how I survived without active notifications.
