It seems that I can't get Battery Care to trigger consistently at night even though I always go to bed somewhere between 11-1 and get up at 7 on weekdays or 9ish on weekends.
I realized though that I happen to have a pretty slow 500 mA USB port charger from back in the day. If I go to bed with the phone at 20% it would take over 4 hours to charge, meaning the phone spends less than half the night at 100%. Maybe this is the next best thing?

How fast does it charge? I have not seen any evidence of anyone being able to charge the X Compact any faster than about 1%/minute which is not super speed by any measure.
@cmstlist I'll try to check it out next time I charge. Feels pretty fast, but then again my previous phone was Z1c...
I usually get battery care where night time is the the first major charge of the day (sadly that's not always the case since I'm getting pretty disappointing battery life my Xc came with stock 7.0...).
I'm using the UCH-12 (supplied), have similar hours to you. When it turns on it reports a plan to be @100% 2hr~ before I wake up.
I was actually wondering is this feature any good (theoretically at least) or just voodoo?
Mine came with UCH 20 rather than 12. So far I'm never needing to charge it all day if I started at 100. Sometimes it's above 60 by bedtime so I don't start to charge it until morning.

For what it's worth, here's a graph of how the UCH 20 charges it with Battery Care. Normal speed until 90%, flat until almost wake time, then up to 100.

32% -> 88% in 64min 1%/1.14min WITH screen-OFF usage (Music stream w/ WIFI+BT headset + WhatsApp web).
It started faster @ 1%/0.9min then I guess I used it more/slowed down on its own.
NO battery care triggered.
That's pretty good for me, being able to use the phone and still charge fast.
Yeah so it seems like the fastest it'll charge under any circumstances is slightly above 1%/min.

So the battery care only works with certain Sony chargers?
Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
For what it's worth, Battery Care will trigger with any kind of charger, even a slow trickle. So even if in only charging at 1%/3mins, it'll still plateau at 90% for a while.

what are you showing us, that after five hours you plug in??

Haha. Yea, he's showing that his battery meter is not accurate. Lol.
I lasted 3 days and 9 hours with my $10 extended battery. It was at 1% for a good 36 hours of it.
On my standard battery after 16 hours of "normal to light" use, I'm usually around 60%. As long as I don't have to charge it during the day, I'm happy. Plug it in every night when you go to bed and unplug it in the morning, you will last all day.
lmao wasn't the planning on that ill give a more accuarate battery in a few hours i actually went from full at 12 pm to about 5 brinking me to 10 percent in 5 hours

Other than the incorrect meter LucasMN, how much better is the extended battery in terms of single full charge. I am debating on getting an extended battery because I use my droid heavily throughout the day for work. I charge with the same habits as you. With my current standard battery I get to about 50% by 2pm (my day starts at 8:30a)

I cannot compare it to the standard battery as I've never let the standard get lower than 30%.
3 days and 9 hours on the extended battery included 2 full work days. I work in IT and will quickly check e-mails throughout the day on my phone. Out of the office I use it quite a bit for facebook and streaming music. 95% of use was over Wifi though.
I bought the battery + cover off ebay for $10. It's about 3x as thick as the original battery.
So I was a bit concerned about battery now seems to be pretty good strange how some days I get 5 hours to 20 percent now going on 7 at only 50 percent

Can't post screen shot since phone is stuck at motor screen atm, but...with a dim screen, cal'd battery and debloated rom , I can burn through a full charge OEM extended battery in half an hour or less. I use a ton of SMS...
a half hour for a extended battery are you freaking kidding me and i thought this was bad i sms a lot too facebook and xda mostly through the day that is just crazy i am still at 50 percent and now at 7 in a half hours looks like i might make it to almost 12 on this one

I would love to see this. With my extended battery, I stayed at 1% for over a day though. Unless yours is powering off, I bet that would be the case. 30 min for an extended battery, even an OEM standard battery sounds like BS to be honest, unless it is physically damaged.
I don't know what happened to mess up everyone's battery life, but when I flashed the 904 update mine all went away!
I must say, this little thing is impressive... I've been hammering this thing all day! I expected 6-7 realistic hours.

That's pretty good, I see it to improve after a few more charges.
Does yours takes a while to charge fully?

I charged it once since purchase yesterday.. took about an hour and thirty.
mine has been crazy about 10 hours of nonstop usage as well I can barely put the thing down. Current charge is a bit lower cause I have been playing GTA 3 all day
I decided to use it right out of the box with 40% and it lasted 20 hours with moderate use I'd say. Played a couple games and streamed some music and a few emails. It's all charged up now, so I'll see how the battery is now!

Great battery life so far and yea it seems to take forever to charge up, then than apps syncing etc I left it alone for a while and it'd only charged like 30℅
Mine has been great as well. Been playing games and watching videos and browsing. I guess the real life tests they did were accurate when they rated it at 9 hours.

Make sure you're using the Asus charger that came with your N7 to charge it.
The Asus wall charger puts out 5v 2A - most other chargers are only outputting .5A
My first charge took forever using an old Moto charger I use for other devices.. once I plugged in the Asus it's down to less than 3 hours for a full charge.
so that means from zero (0%) to 100% fully charged how many hours of charging with the original charger?

Battery Life is Far Better than expected
My battery life has been exceptional, which surprised me. I saw a youtube video where the guy from Cnet said he was concerned about how fast the battery drained. I don't know if he had a defective unit, but I've been pushing it pretty hard. Downloading apps, watching youtube videos, checking emails constantly and browsing the internet.
I've even used super video and overskreen to browse and watch a video at the same time. Still it last at least 8-9 hours. When on a long car ride, about 6 hours of constant use... Got home and it was at just under 30% battery left. This N7 is a BEAST!
Great battery life here as well. Just watched 4 straight hours of movies streamed from my HTPC using Air Video Server and Mirage player while out of town. Flawless.

Battery life seems pretty good to me, pulled off the charger and used alot yesterday, mostly web browsing with screen set to it's lowest setting cause I was inside all day, timeout set at 5mins. I was connected to a weak wifi signal all day with gps on and bluetooth off.
can you imagine what the battery life will be when we get some cooked up roms with some tweaks in this beast!
im happy with the battery life as well as the charge time
Battery life has been great, 8-10 hours, no complaints besides that it charges very slowly.

I enjoy being able to put the tablet down and picking up the next day without it having been on the charger and see it only went down from 92% to 82%..
Last tablet I had, even turned off, it wouldn't have enough power to turn on the next day.
I am at 77% with 1d 6h 9m 5s..
I could play hard all day, set it down late at night. Wake up in the morning and hop on. It has great battery life. About as good as my iP*d
I found it on google:

Looks good but cost USD 27. But not sure how this one working. I am now using the portable charger for my note II LTE (using the charger previously on my S3). I wanted to know who has the experience of using this battery from this website, how is this battery and the battery cover feel??? Does it look stupid???
Why not just carry a spare battery. This makes the phone huge.
Always open the housing cover to change battery is too trouble. Also, no battery charger that can charge the battery alone, need to get the empty battery into my phone and charge it is annoying!!!

I didn't counted it. But my Note II is always on during office hour. Many calling in. Also will used to check email and play game or video when I am having meeting outside (Play it during the traveling of course, :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed, I think it is about at least 5.5 hours for my office hour and only consume 30-35% power which is really good.
Evening time, my phone is mainly using for text msg and gaming (but gaming at evening is not usual) and a little calls. Until bed time, the battery still got 40-45%. That make me feel safe for able to not stay attached with the wall plug. :cyclops::cyclops:
Hi,
I've had a Nexus 6 for some days now, and its battery life doesn't seem too good. I'm used to leave my phone overnight and wake up to it having over 90% battery left, but with the N6 it usually has a little over 80. Today it had 83%, and after browsing the web for some minutes (maybe 10 or 15) it's down to 75%... That's almost 1% a minute, which seems a lot to me.
If I take a look at the battery screen, I see this:

If I'm not mistaken, something seems to have kept the phone awake during the night. Is that right? I'm using M preview 2, could that be causing the problem? Is the phone defective? What could be wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS. Battery life is at 71%... That's 4% down since I wrote that part above. This thing drains so fast it's scary.
It could be anything from the ROM itself to a Rouge app. I would flash back to bone stock and see what you get over a few days with a couple charge cycles. And then compare with another ROM.

Yes the andoird m preview 2 is not showing battery stats correctly. You will probably notice that once your phone goes down to 1% it could stay there for an hour or so. Just be sure to run the phone to complete 0%. Then charge to 100% and leave for about an hour after that. That should recalibrate it after a few cycles. It is a widespread "issue" with the m preview 2.

i use the turbo charger. but it doesnt matter. if you watch the voltage going in, it get drastically reduced above 92%, and again at like 97%. and when the device actually stops charging, its at 0% voltage going in. btw, most times it does not stop charging at 100%. that happens anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes after hitting 100%. thats because our battery % is slightly off.

When I called T-Mobile yesterday they advised me to turn off fast charging because of the possibility of the battery getting hot and exploding. I have always be cautious since day one and turned off fast charging because my phone would get warm but charges pretty fast without fast charging enabled. Also when I'm at work, I only use wireless charging even if it takes longer. What I noticed is that sometimes when I use wireless charging with the case it gives me issues so I take it off.
3.5 Ah battery capacity, fast charge should be around 2 Amps, take into account slower charge rate towards end, I would say OP is just where he should be, if started charging from empty. I've seen my phone going over 2A, sometimes, but that's like extra bonus. Also we don't know what's running in background, that could be affecting charge rate also.

If it is similar to Note 4 then fast charging kicked in from 0 to 50% with charging current around 1.6A and 9V and from 51 to 100% regular 2A and 5V to let battery recover. There should be specs on sticker on phone charger.
