Hi
Looking into this phone and I like what I read but have a couple of questions regarding how it is after sustained usage.
I read in some reviews that battery degrades fast - did anyone experience this?
How is battery life in general?
Also read that after a few weeks it loses a lot of speed, any thoughts on this?
Thanks
I've had it for a bit over a month now, the battery life is perfectly fine so far. I had it at 100% when I went to sleep, and left it on standby overnight disconnected from the charger, and woke up with it on 97%. Performance is still going strong, and there're a few apps preinstalled into the phone that are very helpful with power management.

Hi guys,
I got the phone in Xmas time and I have found that the battery drains very quick, I have to charged every night. I have to charged everyday; the technical support told me that this is normal, could you please anyone tell me how is the battery life in the hd7,
cheers,
Hlov
Sounds about right. I text almost every 5 to 10 minutes for like five hours a day and use the internet for a few minutes in that time too. Email and other things update and refresh every hour. And the battery should last me the whole day - from 100% to 15% or so in a 12 hour span.

Yes, as mentioned above, one day is quite ok for a smartphone like HD7
The battery is only 1230 mAh while the processor is 1ghz and the display is 4.3" (TFT), so you can't really expect more than that.
about one day with a decent amount of use is approx the most i would get from my phone big processor and a big screen lots of usage i just carry around a spare and waiting for an extended battery now
What are you doing guys to reduce battery consumption. From my side i did this
1- 3G - Off
2- Location detection - Off
3- Brightness - Auto
Any other suggestions ?
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.

Same here
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%.

That's cause you turned it off.

I think it might be because I froze all the applications I didn't need.
Been really impressed by this phone's battery. Definitely better than everything htc has to offer.

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.

My battery is useless to. Yesterday ive charged my phone 3 times hehe.
On moday I'll send it to the service as DOA.
Gonna try getting a new battery tomorrow... Hopefully it isnt the phone that is faulty...
2:nd day in my phone lasted about 5.5 h before I hade to recharge. Turned off the option for applications to sync and 20 hours later im at 32%
hey guys, hows your battery doing with heavy usage ?
and whats the idle power draw with screen off? because desire s has 20 mah... thats not exatcly right.. should be 6-7 mah tops imo.
Yup, power draw shows most on the display on mine too. Wonder why, but the battery life is kinda good though.

Had a couple of boring days at work, and managed to take at least 80% of the battery life in a 8 hour day with moderate to heavy use.
Not as good as the iphone 4 I had before, but better than the Desire, Galaxy S etc... decent but not mindblowing battery life.
Excuse me for my bad English
I think the battery is consumed by heavy programs or let's say programs consume battery like Live Wallpaper.
Live Wallpapers consume a lot of battery that many experts say don't use it if you don't want it.
I didn't buy the phone yet but I will after two weeks.

Gladly reporting that the battery life on the IS is extremely satisfactory considering the display and other capabilities.
Got the phone a couple of days back, the first day i charged fully.
The usual setting up of the phone, bluetooth transfers, internet via 3g & wi-fi, gaming, and of course the regualr calls & sms.
The battery lasted me over 13 hours.. still had 14% when i decided to charge again.
now with the usage a little lesser that the excitement has gone down a tad bit, the battery is really efficient.
close to a day (maybe more) with above average usage.
btw, also noticed the battery usage does not seem to vary much with the usage of any task killers

My battery life so far has been pretty good, my old iphone used to die mid/late afternoon with the sort of usage I put my IS through yesterday (first charge)
Went to work around 8 am, checking emails and facebook every 30 minutes aswell as texting on and off all day. Watched movies and listened to music through lunch hour, downloaded apps. Continued the same as the morning through the afternoon.
Got home and was on it constantly (ebuddy, doubletwist, facebook, market) from 5 till around midnight when it finally died.
Very happy with it.

and lol ! if you did all that on the first charge of the phone ... you do know that the battery life increases significantly after a few weeks of usage ?
Hey guys I've had a wrong battery reading since 3 weeks ago or so in my t-mobile's note 4. My phone will reboot itself at 30% battery or less. Even more if using the camera or any app stretching the phone's performance. Also when pulling out the battery or restarting the phone the percentage of battery will change randomly sometimes increased or decreased. I did a physical battery check and my battery was bad I did the spinning test on both sides of the battery and kept it spinning all the way. I bought a new battery and everything is the same in terms of wrong battery percentages when pulling out battery. No more soft reboots itself or bootloooping when reaching 30% or less. But sometimes, just sometimes when using camera or watching videos under 30% battery the phone will reboot. I've flashed since 4.4.4 and even MM official firmwares, calibrated battery and nothing changes. I could use some help from you guys. Any advices?

now no more random restarts or shutdown at 30% on any rom

Dude if you read the whole sentence I estated that I bought a new battery but everything went the same in terms of wrong battery readings when pulling the battery out.

I already did this except for the wake lock app. The fuel gauge method is legit since S5 but I don't know if is some kind of deep software issue in term of displaying battery percentages or hardware issues (I doubt last ).
My son a i both have the Note4 and both are doing the exact same thing. Its not the battery! At 40% it will just shut down and start the loop process and i cant get it to turn back on unless i remove the battery and replace it then plug it in. The battery will say 40%. And if its at 68% it will shut off if i try to use the camera app or the internet. I have to carry a charger with me at all times and keep it plugged in. T-mobile replaced my sons and it does the exact same thing. This started happening around the holidays. Not sure if was around a firmware upgrade or not. Please help, because i still owe tons of money on these phones and Samsung doesn't seem to care to fix them. You can google this problem and you get pages and pages of complaints.
I recently bought a used, but very good condition XT1922-9 . I had read beforehand that the battery is great in these.... unfortunately I'm not having the same result. Is there any recommendations for helping battery life on these? Would rooting help or a custom rom (if available on this phone)?

No. It all depends on usage. It has a big battery. What are you comparing it to? And if you're talking screen on time, that's the biggest battery hog no matter what device/battery you have
If I'm doing anything at all it dies fast. Heck it lost 13% while I slept.

13%? Uh, not major.
Try disabling apps you don't use.
I plug mine in at night. But ymmv
In my case:
I used to have LG X Power with a 4100mAh battery and when I charged the phone before bed, the phone stayed at 100% till morning, and in the morning I played 1 game of Golf Clash, which is about 7/8 minutes, the battery was still 100%.
I bought Moto G6 Play, with similar battery of 4000mAh, when I charge it before bed, I clear the list of used application (under the square button), and overnight t lost 4% of power just lying on the desk (with mobile data and WiFi off).
I was expecting similar results as with my previous LG, but unfortunately this phone disappointed me.
Any way to fix it? Maybe changing charger to Fast Charge, or even Regular Charge, instead of Turbo Charge that we have now, will fix it?
