I've been researching this phone and I really like it so far, but I have a question about the battery.
I've read about the battery lasting something like 9 hours or so.. now my question is that 9 hours while constantly in use?
For example if I leave my house at 3:00 PM with a full charge hang out with my friends, end up at a bar at night, and I maybe talk for 20 minutes, send 5 txt messages and barely mess with the phone, will the phone dying around Midnight?
With that type of light usage it can last a day or even two deopending on how you config. & the radio you use.
The +or- 6-8 hours is with wifi, BT, 3g data usage, gps, etc...
I make it about half the day(5-6 hours), but I've got AgileMobile running all day using 3G connection so I'm assuming I'm running normally. This is greatly improved by switching off 3G(adds another 2-3 hours). I put maybe 15-30 minutes of calls on my phone a day, it's mostly a mobile web browser and instant messenger.
To get through a full day for me I charge the phone in my jeep while driving to / from work, and most days I eat lunch out so I charge it then as well.
Thanks for the replies. I will probably have all data connections turned off, and won't run GPS on days like that.
I really dig this phone, I just got a little worried about the chance that I won't go home after some heavy drinking and won't have a phone to use in the morning...
Also, I just read on a website review from Laptopmag.com that said "We left a fully charged Tilt on over a long weekend, and when we returned, the unit still had three out of four bars of battery life"... What do you think?
Well I think if you upgrade to wm6.1, you should gt alot better battery life.
I was sick (in bed most of the day) yesterday so I took my phone off charge at about 7am in the morning.
I sent some messages, surfed the internet with hsdpa for about 3 hours (and this is in a bad signal area, which means more battery consumption)
then did some wifi (20mins)
and a bluetooth recieve or two.
I just checked the battery level this morning (8am) and I still had 57% left. I was abit surprised because I thought it will have drained by now like it did with wm6. The point is wm6.1 has a lot better battery life. So for maxumum battery life you should upgrade.
Just my 2 cents
Battery life...
Hi I have had the kaiser for not long really... there's a neat program that tells you what is the drain, of the battery...
well if you are not touching it and not doing anything it drains about 6-10ma, so based on that yes, it can last for a looooooooong time, now when you call it goes to 200-400ma, so yes it drains more battery there. ( as you would think it would )
then again you can have the backlight to low, to use less battery, also, turn the screen off when not using it, and change the radio an a lot of hacks.
based on my experience using EDGE, the GPS, the screen, playing a game, sending some mms, and talking, it can really kill your battery in no time.
but you can also well get a car charger ( be carefull with those ) or a better battery, because to be realistic the one that comes default really sucks...
I have seen people talking about a 3000mah battery so that could really drive the phone for a loooooooong time, better think about other issues, like how sucky the camera is... ( maybe with the video drivers we are wating for this will get fixed ), also well, sometimes the performance is not that good, ( also video drivers I think ), besides that, and if you don't mind like I do, to have to wait for a few seconds to get things going on, the phone is a real jewel, if you live life in the fast lane, well maybe that second to open the keyboard will kill you

Seidio 1650 battery and the Mugen 1500 batteries seem to be good oem size batteries from I have read. THere is a thread on the Kaiser Accessories board about batteries.......
I had a similar experience with excessive current consumption in standby, likely caused by the GPS though it is off (see Post "TyTN II / Kaiser issue: GPS & battery drain").
Perhaps you should install "BatteryStatus". Make yourself familiar with the battery current display, and try to figure out how much power your device draws.
Another nice test is, switch all units off (phone, WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, really everything). Make sure no program is running (TaskManager). Leave the fully charged phone alone for 5 hours or so. Recheck the battery capacity whether it dropped more than very few percent. If you do not need GPS frequently, you may simply try a soft reset. If you have interesting results, please be so kind and add them to the abovementioned thread, too.

Okay, so.. I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II 4G.
I have it rooted with the root stock from this thread.
With that said, I've had this phone rooted for several months now. Since January or so. Over the course of that time, the phone has run without fault for months. Recently, I've had issues with my battery draining (as well as charging) far more quickly than it used to. I assumed this was an issue with the battery, because there was a slight bulge in it, so I bought a replacement battery that came yesterday. I charged it full (until the phone said it was 100%), from about 5% charge. It took the normal time (as the phone did when it was new) to charge, of just over 2 hours. It died almost completely about 2 1/2 hours later. Currently, I have my phone charging and it's at right around 90%, after just over an hour of charge from 20%. It used to take far longer to both charge, as well as die. What the Hell is going on?
Just a few notes:
This is not the result of heavy usage (for power drain). I say this because even as the phone was idle while I slept, it died on its own accord sometime throughout the night.
My bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS are almost always off, unless I'm using one of them for some purpose, and I haven't used any of those things since the new battery was installed.
There are no applications running in the background, aside from Facebook. I know this because I'm using Advanced Task Killer to kill everything, and it keeps showing Facebook as if it's opening itself for some reason. This is another issue I'm concerned with, so if anyone knows why or how to remedy this, I'd be appreciative of knowing. Otherwise I'm likely to just delete this unnecessary application.
This is not an issue where the phone is reading an incorrect charge over an extended period. It literally is dying and charging faster than normally.
When the phone is rebooted, whether it be through "Restart" (app from Google Play), via the phone Power key, or removal of the battery, the phone drops around 20% battery life when the restart is complete. The absolute reverse happens (it gains 20%) when restarting with the phone plugged into an AC charger.
Is it possible that this has something to do with the root being outdated, or maybe something updated and I'm unaware? I sincerely have no idea what's going on, as this is the first phone I've ever rooted before. I'm sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.
It sounds like the battery you bought may be defective. Send it back and get a different one.
Yea sounds like you bought a defective battery. Where did you buy it from? Talk to them and see if they'll send a replacement or get another one from elsewhere
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Z1 lollipop 5.1.1
build n. 14.6.A.1.236
kernel ver. 3.4.0-perf-gd26777b-00851-ga8b7b55 19 november 2015
It all happened a month ago, after an update, the phone battery registered low and the device reboted, and for the first time in the phone history, I saw, at boot, the "app optimization" dialogue, that kept chewing at what battery life was left.
So, I replaced the battery;
at first start, all seemed OK till I hit an app (whatsapp I think) and the phone displaied the low battery warning and went down.
Same, after a full recharge, when pressing the camera hardware button.
Oh, I also had the discrepancy between the charging icon , which reported 100% charge, and after maybe 10min. 50% and, you know the story.
Now, at the very moment I am writing, after a full charge, 24 hours ago, the phone, without the sim and the SD cards, but left on, registers a charge of 93% (only wireless on, to invite some disharge); of course I cannot check the watsapp, but I took some pics, and the phone stays on.
What do you reckon, I am bugged, as android 5.1.1
should I hang on the phone, which, by the way, performs(ed) pretty well, even though marsmallow is not an option, with the 2GB mem. at least in a bog standard state (i.e. not rooted)?
Thanks
A little update: after two more hours, I started using the browser, and after viewing a couple of pages, the phone swiched itself off.
Now, the charging icon, visible, when phone is off, show a 1% charge.
So, the software battery meter, must be well off the mark?
Last addiction: after an hour, the status light is green (phone charged?) and the charge icon, displays a 100% level.
It's your say, now.
I have this problem and battery replace didnt solve anything here too, but I'm on nougat. I hope someone know a solution for this.. But I think It is some kind of hardware problem.
Little update: after recharging, I switched the phone up and let it play some video on youtube;
well, after maybe half an hour, it went down, and as soon as I plugged the charger in, the icon showed 80% charge, which I allready experienced, dismissing it had a fawlty reading, but, with some afterthought , would be in line with the actual battery drainage ( remember that without any activity it stays on indefenetly) and is, as if, some internal mechanism -either hardware or software, is programmed to switch it off at that precise level.
Just a thought, is there somewhere, the level of battery disharge can be set, at our discretion before the device shuts off, say 15%?
I do not seem to find this specific setting, currently.
It is less credible, as time goes by, to think of it as a specific device/brand problem, given the fact that all the major players ware, seems to be affected, and allowing for differences in platforms, the common denominator would appear to be the software itself.
Exact same problem
Some time ago, I replaced my Xperia SP's battery.
The "used, like new" battery I ordered was as bad as the one that was to be replaced, maybe even worse.
I complained, got another-one. This other battery works great.
Remember: There are no "new" batteries out there, just used-ones.
Some are still good, some are dead.
I don't know where replacement batteries that are new should come from... Sony has never sold them as spare parts. I don't know of any company that produces batteries for Sony phones and sells these batteries on the open market.
I only know of third party spare parts for iPhones. Apple has sold only like 20 different models since 2006.
Sony? More like 100.
Producing third party spare parts just isn't profitable in this case. That's the reason why there aren't any.
Any seller who claims to offer "new" batteries lies. At least if he didn't take them from some never used devices.
I'd be HAPPY to be proven wrong because I also need a new battery for my Z1.
Besides, it's no wonder all our phones' batteries die at the same time. They are all the same age and have had more or less the same amount of charging cycles.
Also, it's no wonder they all die the same way (suddenly empty).
They all (more or less) came out of the same factory.
It's like with cars, same model, same problems.
A Peugeot 206 always has problems with the Zylinderkopfdichtung (don't know the English word, the rubber thingy in the motor that keeps water from mixing with oil), some stuff with the wheels or the exhaust flies off because of rust... for the third time in 5 years...

Your allegations, are worth investigating.
[solved]
Very important updates.
There seems to be an "xperia battery bug" which kicks in at every battery change.
After having done all the calibration stuff, I re-opened the phone and took the battery connector off, while the phone was on.
Then, did the same, with the phone off.
After three or four days in which the phone did not seem able to start, (rebooted at the first stages of switching on) the phone magically booted up with, and what's more important there was no dicrepancy, between the battery charge level, shown when you plug in the charger, with phone switched off, and the charge level presented by the software, once the phone is on.
So, do not give up your still worth device!
Only thing I noticed now, is a sligtly faster battery consumption, even in stamina mode;
could it be related with the post above?
Maybe a new custom ROM could fix the problem, now that the phone seems stable.
Similar problem.
Phone shuts down when 2 to 3 apps are working simultaneously. It first heats up and then suddenly dies.
Secondly, it sometimes dies on 60% and other days it can work till 1% too. Sometimes after a reboot, it shows the battery percentage abnormally.
I love this phone so i m not planning to throw it away. On the other hand, i cannot find an original battery in the market.
Just chuck a suitable battery in and do the procedure I described.
My battery is not original either, so no problem.
As far as the battery consumption, it seems to be better now, after a week of use.
Good afternoon!
Any thought on this? My watch suddenly starting having this issue (weeks after the warranty expired). I had my watch on the charger for a couple of days, battery indicator (powered off) shows 100%. I try to turn it on and it dies between the LG logo and the Google circles. If it's on the charger, it will fully boot. I have reset to factory and cleared the partition cache. I am able to get into the bootloader just fine, and it doesn't appear to die when I'm in there. I contacted the Google Store support and LG support, Google sent me to LG without any troubleshooting, and LG offered a quote to repair ($65), also without any troubleshooting, so I'm wondering if this is a known issue. Anyone else have this issue and were able to solve it?
Thanks!
Sign of dead battery
Mine did the same thing... I had to send mine in for warranty repair... Since yours is out you might see if you can find a cell phone repair shop that can do it or try the repair yourself
I am having the same problem. I'm wondering if it really is the battery or some other problem. Did you use the LG online "Repair Request" website to get the quote?

Be warned. There's a good chance they'll screw up your watch. I sent mine in, they replaced the battery and I got it back and the screen went out shortly after.
I sent it in for replacement yet again and now I've got it back and my Watch Sport is freezing on me, which seems to be a messed up firmware (and judging by this forum, I can't do anything about it). LG's repair service is absolutely awful.
Seriously considering a different watch because of this.
I have the exact same issue as OP. Mine lasted 1 year and 3 months. You would think that a watch that costs almost $400 would last longer. ?
i had the exact same problem... 1 year and 1 month
lg charged me the 70 bucks to repair/replace the embedded battery, however it is working as it should for now.
Lithium batt life is about : 5 years, 300 charges cycle.
With watch like LG-Sport with horrible battery drain, about 8% by hour with normal use, I charge it 2 or 3 times at day. So you can use almost 1.5 cycles by day, so for 300 cycles it last 200 days. So battery can died on less than 1 year
With a watch like my G-Watch with 50% batt at end of the day it have just 0.5 cycle by day and can last 600 days. (if you use every day every time)
I've had the same issue, I can't believe I have a $400 paper weight! Battery drains at almost exactly 10% per hour. I have disconnected my watch from my phone, shut down NFC, bluetooth and wifi. Basically turning into a wearable phone with no other functionality, it doesn't matter. Really turns me off to wearables in general.
If anyone is still having this issue, we have a thread over at Wear OS by Google Community - "LG Watch Sport switches off randomly"
Go check it out, we're posting updates as they come in from LG.
Hello there everyone.
Since few months I'm using sm-r920 (galaxy watch 5 pro) as my watch. Despite crappy time, that it can handle itself between charging, all was nice. Until recently - two days back, in my work, I've got my hand with smartwatch stuck between big pile of heavy (like hundreds of kilos) stuff and solid foundation. Managed to get hand out of it quickly (the hand is generally OK), smartwatch also looked GOOD on first sign.
BUT
Since that accident, I've noticed, that watch drainage battery ultrafast. Previously, my full charge lasted for almost 96h. Now - after 24 hours, I'm left with like 20% of battery left (from being fully charged, despite being screen off like 99,5% of the time). This is unacceptable, despite having all extra drainage options besides bluetooth turned off (AOD, wifi, NFC, GPS, quiet mode, I've even got battery saving option enabled all the time, both previously and currently).
Is it somehow possible to damage battery without damaging screen or backplate? Because I've managed to teardown smartwatch from wristband and extra rubber protection and still see absoutely no damage to it, yet battery life is awful now. What is also worth noticing - when clock turned down due to lack of energy in the battery, I've plugged it in, let it charge to full 100%, and after turning it on again I did not let smartwatch to connect to wifi to download anything or to upload anything (I do this very rarely, like once per few months), because due to 10+ years of android experience, I've learned, that being first in update queue isn't always a good method (in most cases it is actually rather more problem-generating, than problem-solving - but that is only my own opinion).
Anyway - the whole point here is that - is it possible to damage battery in that way, or do I have to look for source of that problem somewhere else? Also - I cannot find more detailed data about battery usage (with graph, known from android-based devices) etc. Just raw list of just a few apps from watch, that cannot (in my opinion) explain 30% drainage in circa 7h time since battery was reported 100% and just being plugged off from charger.
I also did not notice ANY damage to screen or titanium case. The watch also did not monitor me in any way, that it might be damaged somehow (although I believe, that you have to have some extra tools to dig deeper into it, than just regular wearOS).
Hi. Did you leave wireless ADB enabled in developer options? It's a known issue that drains the battery.
I also have a GW 5Pro. I don't use anything, I turned it off. No sports, no AOD, no Wifi, no GPS, no measurements. 2 days. I returned my first watch, I thought it was faulty. Got another one, same 2 days. For my partner, GW 5 40 mm for 3 days.
All right, it took me some time to figure out, what was wrong, BUT I've got a solution for it.
Turned out, that high pressure applied on small surface is capable to break physically motherboard WITHOUT damaging either screen or backplate. In my case, that was the problem - screen worked fine, there were no sign of physical damage on either side, but since motherboard's circuit has been somewhere opened, there were bigger power consumption and shorter battery time.
Turns out, samsung authorised service can fix it, if you pay them. Total cost of mine repair was around 170 €, so it is still much better option, than buying a new one. If you give watch to authorised service, they will also check for waterproof and basically made that smartwatch like new.
Mine 44 mm is working almost for 4 straight days without charging, so 2 days is definitelly faulty. Also - debloating doesn't give me any more battery time (it could work, it just doesn't give me anything extra, but it might work in your case).
