How long does your battery last? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Hey guys, I just wanted to know how long the Battery lasts in your Ace.
For example my Ace has to be charged almost every day.
When playing a lil bit or surfing the internet (Wifi/2G) my battery looses 10% or sometimes even more in just an hour.
On the other side, i've heard from other people, who's batterys last almost two days (and they're using their phones, not just standby).
So i'd like to compare my batterytime with you guys .
I'm on KPE (not Villainrom, not yet ^^) and most of the time i get arround 24 hours plus or minus some hours, depending on the daily use.

Charge my ace every day with 70 or so percent left. The phone will probably last a day or two.

Battery:
2.3.3 (KPE) - www,email, games(ex DragRacing, FruitNinja) ~11h
2.3.3 (KPE) - sms, talks ~ 55h (record)
Villainrom (wipe battery) - (2G,synchronization off )www,email, games ~6h

im gettin 3 days with wifi,facebook,games,surfing and took some pics use battery calibrater for these results

how s possible, 55 hours, you didnt use the phone correct?
and about what mr galaxyaceking said; im gettin 3 days with wifi,facebook,games,surfing and took some pics use battery calibrater for these results, how do you calibrate the battery??

there is a app for battery calibration,also im srry i meant 2 days

55h - only talk, zero www,email,etc
A colleague from the forum ..... his record 3d 18h record (image). It would be more, but need to connect phone via USB. He made a few calls and sms.

mine lasts 40-70 hours with 2G only,some wifi internet,games(fruit ninja,fishin2go), talking, and no synchronization. but record is 98 with minimal usage

Mine is sucks...
Sync always on for: gmail, g-reader, contacts, & calendar.
SMS about 5-10 times
Call duration for +/- 15 minutes.
Internet for bworsing without images >.<
Games: doodle frops, frozen bubble, fruit ninja, etc
Discharge @ 07:00 gonna find charger in hurry @ 12:00 something.
ACE battery life for me is sucks!

It almost feels like like there are differenty quality-types of batterys. Some people get arround 2 days while really using it, while some other people can't even get through the day...

Here is my fact:
For using market (downloading with EDGE) and browsing (without loading images) my discharge rate is @ 12% - 15% an hour. You can test by your self.
I dare you to use 3G
How come people said they phone last for 3 days?
It'll happen when you don't use your phone at all. I bet 3 days is 90% standby 10% usage.

When I use GPS( SYGIC ) my phone hardly lasts for about 4-5 hrs (I dont use GPS continuously). When I play games such as scooter hero, angry birds, doodle jump etc and wifi always connected it lasts for about 12 hrs. And one more thing I'm always on 2G.

i agree, i donno how they get the battery life with the kind of usage they have. i use half of it yet it struggles to last 9 hours.
i am thinking of getting those 1500amh battery that are in ebay, a few users have used it and got 2 days worth life with full usage.

@Bluffyone
is it possible to use an other Battery like 1500amh / 1700amh without problems for the hardware?

yeah thats to be considered but few works. and they are cheap so can be tried out if ur lucky then they might work better than the stock.
@C0ldie
these batteries are specifically made for samsung ace only and so it is usable

and using the SGS battery in SGA will not work, or does it?

i havent seen anyone doing that so i cant say

Its normal if your ace only last for 10-12 hours if your always on 3g(downloading,browsing,etc) and gaming. I have 3 samsung phones(ace,sgs,wave1) and their battery goes down very fast if I switch on the 3g/wifi and when im playing games on it.
Without 3g/wifi. Around 40 sms a day and few calls my Ace last for 2 days.

About Battery

I am an owner of optimus one for 5 days now and I want to share some thoughts about the battery.
I know that 1500mAH is a very good capacity, but I can't say that I am really satisfied with it.
I have pretty much set everything to drain the least amount of battery, like:
A) 2G only
B) Brightness at 25%
C) GPS off
D) Auto updates all off
E) No background apps that take power and
F) Turn it off at nights.
I get about 2 days and I don't think that this is much.
How much does your optimus one last and what have you done (if anything) to optimize your battery performance??
Mine has the same battery life in the same conditions
Don't think there is anything you can do about it..
I guess all the touchscreen android smartphones are +- the same in terms of battery..
Mine lasts about the same as yours too..
I get (easily) 2 days with 3G on during the day, automatic sync of calendar and contacts & facebook app. I charge it every other night and reboot after charging.

why rebooting after charge?
I believe that 2 days that already a very good range! I mean, "cellphones" today are computers! Even without any background application opened, you always have some services running. It is normal that you can't keep it alive without charging for a weak...
Anyway I think that 2 days isn't to much and it should be better. If I'm not wrong Samsung Galaxy S keeps about 3 days and more. It have AMOLED, but more faster procesor and my phone keeps only 2 days even though I don't use it...

From my experience with mobile phones (from nokia 8310,siemens sl45,nokia 6310i,sharp 903,nokia e51/e52, k810i and now the LG P500) only the E51/E52 would last me more than 1.5days under my usage,so I consider that the lg with all of the services running can keep about 1.5days is very good...
I have a Galaxy S and it barely lasts a day - even with JuiceDefender. I'd be pretty happy to have a 2 day battery life.
Was the battery calibrated properly?
Several rounds of full charge and full discharge.
From what you say, you might have done only 2 or 3 cycles...so maybe it'll improve slightly over time.
Also 2 days is indeed good.
Samsung Galaxy also about 2 days with conservative use. 3 days is probably for highly optimized setups for juice savings, I couldnt achieve that unless I dont use my Galaxy S .
I just found this nice app that allows you to save some battery by throttling the CPU frequency to a lower value when not used: setCPU
get it for free here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
It does require your phone to be rooted, I'm afraid...
Here's another program which promises to do the same, free from the market:

Kinda useless, since O1 kernel already has a cpu governor that switches CPU frequency when it goes in stand by mode
Just got my Optimus... and yes, the battery life is about 2 days with moderate use.
But that seems damn good actually. Considering these are just mini-PCs nowadays. Try running a laptop PC that long on just the battery
I just tried using advanced task manager as a user said in gsmarena..
My battery lasts more one day...but the phone is a little slower too..
I currently have a Galaxy S and my missus has an LG OO what puzzles me about the LG is when you check what drains the battery (which incidently only lasts about a day with both phones) the Galaxy S screen drains about 75% of its battery but on the LG cell standby drains around 80-90% what on earth could be using so much power when in standby. There is very little syncing going on and GPS and Bluetooth etc are disabled.
Any ideas?
Weird. I got mine to last 2 days and still have ~55% battery remaining (which means about 4 days until it's completely off). My config is pretty much the same as the #1 post. I even browsed the web with wi-fi and played some games (for like 2 hours).

amaze vs galaxy battery life

i have a galaxy and im getting some ridiculously good battery with custom rom, im at 10 hours with over 50% battery with moderate usage, i was thinking about switching to amaze because i really need led notification and camera button, can you guys let me know what the battery on the amaze is like how much usage and what percent u have ? i know itll be worse then the galaxy i just want to see how it will be to help me decide
I'm still figuring out exact battery life times, but I'm getting about 5-6 hours with very heavy usage (screen on for about 2 hours total according to battery use).
I'm at 9 hours with 12% left. I'm running unrooted totally stock but with Juice Defender Free on aggressive. Fairly heavy usage since I just got it yesterday and am constantly playing with it. That usage includes 60 min with My Tracks (gps) and PowerAMP running while out waking the dog. However I did have it connected to my pc for about half an hour while i was transferring music.
amaze
damn thats not looking good, anyone that rooted and installed one of the roms get better battery ? because 9 hours with a battery app doesnt sound too good, im at almost 15 hours with my galaxy and i have close to 50% battery left, with moderate usage (some facebooking, lots of text, emails,15-30 mins of gaming) not going to lie the battery on the galaxy with the rom i have is kind of ridiculous, best ive seen, but if the amaze can at least hold for 16 hours on moderate use on a full charge or 12 hours on heavy id be happy

How long does your battery last on your SGS2?

Usually, on weekends, or holidays, I use my phone for Angry Birds, many other games, music, etc for a long period of time. Today I managed to get about 5 hours use until the battery got to 30%.
I'm not sure whether or not this is good or bad and so I'm wondering; how many hours do you get out of it, in relation to being a heavy user, medium user or light user?
Thanks
about 5/6 hours max
With normal usage 24-30 hrs. Wth heavy use, 8-10 hrs.

pretty much the same
always have 3g on and im quite sure i listen to music for 7 hours at least while im at my office...and by the end of the day i have like 20%
10 days and still going
With all data disabled most of the time, almost unused, but still connected to the GSM network, mine is now at more than 10 days (and I think it wasn't even fully charged at the start of this period). This is with stock ROM, Apex launcher, almost no other custom apps.
It's hard to have an effeicient answer since it depends on many factors : the way you use your phone, your ROM , Kernel and all setting stuffs etc ... . And even with same settings , two SGS II can have a totaly different battery drain. So, you can compare but it wont realy be so efficient .
Anyway , for me with a usual use : almost 2d and with heavy use about 16-24 h. I m on Wanamlite 10.6 with last Siyah V3.0 Kernel.
At weekends 5 hours max weekdaus prob 8-9 hours
Mod or Die
Plenty of hourly syncing and light use....
Stock rooted KL1 + LPR radio
I have tried 3 different ROMs and with the last ICS ROM i had 8-9 hours with heavy use of 3G/Bluetooth/sync ... and of course it's depends of what apps (games ) i use among the day ...
awesome how some users get 24 hours with a single battery charge.
When I use my S2 as a normal phone, about 20 hours.
But with heaving usage and gaming (which I do pretty much) probably between 6 or 8 hours also.

Woah :O Doesnt matter had "10days" :O
i guess screen on time is more important than overall battery time. I Used to get 4hr screen on time with a full day usage which is quite good for me and i think its average.

+1 Agreed here are some on my screen shots.
Usually prefer to watch youtube video's through browser So flash is must & it is a nice battery drainer too.Plus 4 hours of non-music playback !
Brightness - 20%
When i use gprs heavily it is very less!
Normal use may last a day!
Playing games also burns the battery pretty fast!
I have a Superatmos ROM installed in my Galaxy SII i9100G and I get around 30 to 35 hours of standby time with normal to low use. I do however browse the internet over WiFi some 4 hours a day.
I am quite happy with the performance of my phone.
So far its three months but its like Triggers Broom .

Battery life: how long does your Atrix last on standby?

How long does your phone last on standby with no data and with the screen off (no activity)? Any usage info would be great
A phone in standby (ie. a phone you're not using at all) can stay like that for days on end. I highly doubt anyone here would make it not using their phone for THAT long. What's the point of that anyway? You don't use it, you might as well not have it...

it is good to hear feedbacks to fellow gamer so i guess 4-5hrs is normal. i have a facebook client and im kinda used to stock jb browser. while opera is a good battery and data saver. gaming should be around 5-6hrs. on the development section they seem to be rarely using their phone as they exceeds 10+ somewhat impossible for an average user.
while this is my best battery backup on cm7. 18+ 5hrs gaming straight and few texting the rest of couple of hours till it runs dry.
EDIT: well, there is a good battery which sells here as low as $3.99, too bad i have unverified payza account

45 minutes battery life

My Galaxy S II (and pretty much any Android evice I've picked up) has a usable battery life of 45 minutes. I unplug the phone at 9 A.M. in the morning after charging it to 100%. By 12 in the afternoon I would have browsed the Internet, checked social apps and played a few rounds of a game for what feels like 45 minutes in total. By then the battery is at 30% and I have to put it away in fear of it dying before I get home. The phone is useless for the rest of the day. My iPhone 4 with its 3 year old battery lasts 2 days like this.
No wakelocks, 99% deep sleep. I have a 3200mAh battery which feels like it lasts 1.5 hours before I have to put it away in fear. Basically the phone is not usable at all due to the user being in constant fear of the battery dying.
If I don't use the phone at all it's down to 20% by the end of the day with no wakelocks and 99% deep sleep. If I don't use my iPhone 4 with its 3 year old battery, it still lasts 20 days.

Well, or you buy a new battery for the S2 or you keep going with your "stylish" i phone. The world is not complicated and phones are not rocket science.
And by the way, games drain battery hard, very hard.

I hope you checked with BBS, if so and as you said "99% of deep sleep", it means that the games are draining your battery.Well, sometimes even a "newish" battery can be faulty.Try with different battery,I mean a good one for sure.And if your results are the same, stop playing those freakin' games.

Yes I use BBS and have completely disabled all bloatware using Autostarts. I have the original battery and the Mugen Power 3200mAh battery. The battery life is proportional to with the capacity of the batteries I've used.
The primary use of my phone is mobile gaming. I don't care about the phone part except for receiving push notifications for email, IMs etc. which I then reply to on the PC anyway.
My SG2 and pretty much every Android device I pick up has 45 minutes of battery... Either you have won the lottery and got a defect phone several times or there is something fishy going on..
My sg3 lasted for 24 hours, my s4 last for a couple of days, my motorola razr lasted a week and my iphone 4 went for a day and sometimes 24 hours..
Even if I stress test my sg4 and s3 all the time it would last for a lot loooonger than 45 minutes..
I know the games will use a lot of juice but 45 minutes? Something is wrong...
What kind of games are we talking about? I do not play so much myself, just online poker, some tetris and so on, my iphone and android phones is pretty similar when talking about these games...
You could go for a Nintendo Game Boy etc
That said I taught ICS used less battery than JB. And it's pretty weird if you have the mugen battery. My Razer had a 3300 battery and that would go for days, even with heavy usage.

I've extensively used the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Nexus One, Nexus S. All of them can be used heavily (3G, gaming) for just 45-60 minutes before the battery is low and you have to save it for the rest of the day.
Simply listening to music for 2 hours in the gym drains 35% battery! WTF? This is without any equaliser and while using an external headphone amplifier. I could listen to music for 2-3 hours a day for 1 week on my old iPod touch before needing to charge it.

With zero usage and I mean barely switching on the screen once or twice to check the time, my 3200mAh Mugen battery is at 55% by evening. No wakelock, full deep sleep. The original battery will be below 20% or dead with zero usage.

Possibly a crap battery, but im going to suggest you don't use the samsung charger. The phone holds a wakelock whilst charging, keeping the phone running at 200Mhz, so unless you are delivering 650mA, your phone will die. Therefore I suggest you are using an unofficial charger, which doesn't deliver the needed 650mA, or you have an unofficial battery which wont accept 650mA. Either way, if you're not using Samsung appliances you shouldn't really be complaining about crap battery.

I am using the original Samsung charger and the original Samsung battery. I have an additional 3200mAh Mugen Power battery.
It drains faster than the charge rate only if I'm playing games.
Could be many things then, but as you say BBS doesnt report wakelocks, it would all just be conjecture. Try and pull a logcat after an hour or so of deepsleep and see if you notice anything untoward. Also, have you done simple things like turn WiFi off when you're not using it? That scans every 15 seconds or something. Or if you're in a crap phone signal area, your phone will keep scanning for and trying to connect to a better signal.

Or if you're in a crap phone signal area, your phone will keep scanning for and trying to connect to a better signal.

It's the phone obviously. Like I said if I put it in Aeroplane mode than the battery is still at 99% at the end of the day. If it's in normal mode it drains severely. I don't have this problem on any other phone. I've flashed the latest modem for my region and tried older modems for my region as well.
Not sure but it sounds like you have technical issues with your phone.
I have the official Samsung uprated battery and I loose about 60% out of the phone battery a day with heavy usage. Usually doesn't get to that point as I charge at work or home when not in use.
I take it as a given that all smart phones, tablets or laptops have ****e battery life.
Blanket generalisations about specific OS' or brands being superior to others is just silliness.
Saying that, when it comes to battery life, my HP Touchpad running CM 10.1 pisses all over any iOS device and the ghost of Steve Jobs agrees with me!

60% at the end of the day is a joke. It's unacceptable. Without use My iPhone 4 is at 95% at the end of the day with everything switched on and every possible syncing enabled. Why is it so hard for Samsung to produce a properly working phone after 5 years? I am 100% sure their latest phones like the Galaxy S 4 behave exactly the same way no matter what PR bull**** they try to spin.

Seems the iPhone is the device meant for you, for me in normal usage it lasts 2 and a half days altogether with the stock battery, heavy usage like a gameplay of Gamelofts Modern Combat series or N.O.V.A gives me 3 hours of continuous play after which the battery reaches around 7-10%, wifi in JB sadly kills my battery only gets around 6 hour's with continuous usage which was greater in my GB and ICS days.
But 95% at the end of the day for the iPhone 4 with everything ON is a bit of an exaggeration(the hell kind of unremovable battery is that?) don't you think?

Everything on with no use. Thats the drain in standby. My SGS2 drains whether I use it or not with everything on. In aeroplane mode, it stays at 99% without use.
