hey guys, I have both the Flyer 3g, and the EVO View TAB. And i noticed the battery life on my Flyer sucks. it will not last half as much as the view. I think the View has a 4000mah battery, does anyone know if its the same for the Flyer 3G?
if not does anyone know if i can maybe buy a replacement battery for my view and solder it on my Flyer(assuming its soldered on)?
I haven't really had a problem with battery life... 8+ hours of work use (you know, youtube, note taking, checking email every 5 minutes...)
I don't know if anyone would bother creating an extended battery for this, since the battery is not removable... not saying it's impossible, but I haven't found anything...

I wish i had 8plus hours. I wonder if its the phone calling thats been draining my battery.
Well ... i use battery monitor all the time. What I found out is that with 3g disabled notetaking plus audio recording consumes an average of 600 mah. With 3g enabled it jumps up to 850. With 3g enabled i get 4h 30m display enabled. Without 3g but still using wifi i get 6 hours of display enabled
Think about getting a battery pack like the treckstor dual port. It can charge the flyer up to 80% battery life.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Let try custom ROM.
The official rom make me unhappy with poor battery life.
I try many custom rom.
Custom Honeycomb still no good in battery life.
Now,i use i00 GB 2.3.4,it 's good battery life for me

This is the Q&A section of the board. You made a statement.
Apart from getting roughly 3 hrs of screen on time with around 63% of battery (this based purely on your screen shot & may not be entirely accurate given the complete lack of detail you've provided), this tells us pretty much nothing about your usage.
Well you've probably had about 3 hours screen time + 3g + Bluetooth on and connected as well. Seems fair to me.
Anyway, with so many battery related threads why not just post there instead of starting a new thread?

Really, what for new thread?
Not clearly...
Turn on GSM-only in the network settings. Turn off bluetooth and auto-brightness. Sync and background data also sucks the hell out of your battery ^^
this is my usage. the battery keeps reducing even during idle, with no wakelocks, by around 3% an hour. i've set the setting to gsm only, turned off wifi & bluetooth, turned off auto syncing, but its still like this.
and in the 2nd attachment picture is the rom i'm using
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
looks good but how is your on screen time?
is that considered good? cause i've seen a straight line (only losing 1 to 2% over 8 hours) during screen off time. i don't quite like it now cause i always fully charge before sleep, and when i woke up it only remains 70%....
on screen time, i've never fully use from 100% to dead, so cant be sure...
Try the JuiceDefender application (Market). The free version is good enough to help you out. I use the ultimate version and using my phone all day long (3g, internet, sync, gps) I can easily got 40% to 50% left at night (full charge in the morning).
i dun think i'll need juice defender...i always do everything it does (i.e turning off 3g, wifi, bluetooth, sync, gps) when not in use...
You need autostarts, I paid for it and its made having my phone possible.

Don't use Juice Defender. Unless you want to use more battery. It uses far more juice than it claims to save if many people on XDA's experience using it holds true. Plus, as Thonney quite rightly pointed out, many (most) of us already do the things it does manually which takes all of a few seconds & costs zero battery.
Hey Guys,
I am looking for some help. My phone seems to be losing charge at a rate of about 5% an hour when I am at work, tried with 2 different ROMs (NEAT and Wanam stock+rooted) so far and 2 different Modems (LPS and LPG) and it is the same with both. At home, it loses around 1-2% an hour which is much better. The difference I think is the signal level, at home it averages around -85dBm (3G) and an average of around -105dBm (3G) at work which I think causes it to switch between 2G and 3G often and that could be the reason for the battery drain.
Aside from switching my phone to "GSM Only", do you guys have any other suggestions to improve the signal/battery life?
The main culprit on the battery usage screen is Android OS:

Try the Ressurection Remix 2 ROM hear its the best for battery saving. Its on ICS
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5660 running Beats with HTC Sense 5 ROM using xda app-developers app
Thank you for the suggestion but I would rather not change to an AOKP/AOSP Rom just yet as I only bought the phone 2 weeks ago and want to give the Stock ROM a go.
I have set my Network Mode to GSM only today and so far my battery has dropped 20% in 4 hours :/
It does not look to be ROM or Radio dependent so far as I have tried 2 different versions of both and still, I have drain.

Get cpu spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping, and better battery stats from xda app section to find out what wake locks you have

I used CpuSpy and my phone is going into deep sleep. I've just got BetterBatteryStats so will monitor it and see, thanks!
There seems to be a lot of speculation and hype over the razr maxx battery.
Some people get 2 - 3 days, some only 12 hours.
I for one, get about 12 hours with moderate - heavy usage (ocxasionally).
As we all hope for we want that 17 hour /21 hour talk time motorola tells us.
I am using a Gsm model, so i would have expected a longer talk time than the 4G lte versions. It is a 3200mah battery (4G gets the 3300mah?)
I only get about 12 hours of continuous usage (5 hours off the 17 hour benchmark)
So im going to ask everyone that owns a razr maxx to screen shot their talk time.
Using the gsam battery monitor app which gives a good indication of how much talk time left based on calculations and usage.
My talk time, stand by and average time left is here:

With cpuspy app; it is properly deep sleeping too and under locked to 300mhz on screen off:
1)What's everyone else's maxx battery life like? Please post screen shot
2) does your razr maxx battery read 3300mah or 3200mah? Mine reads 3200mah..
At the moment it's been 3 hours and it's - 8% already.. Only played Internet radio for 15 minutes which drained 2%

I'm finding it lasts just as long as my desire z, which had less than half the battery size! I get a day comfortably but that's not the 2 days comfortably I was expecting/hoping for.
Don't have a screenshot but on my last charge it was around 1 day 2hrs, screen on 2.5hrs, no wifi, gps/bluetooth off. Using gsam and cpuspy and all looks ok pretty much. Although, digging into gsam app sucker, I notice that kernel is always the highest and I also notice that the sensor useage (accelerometer/pressure) is always on roughly about the same as screen time but it has a LOT of wakelocks. Might try disabling that for a while.
But I feel I should be getting much longer than I do. I do have facebook but it's time on and wakeups don't suggest any abnormalites.
I see mention of some people finding out what size their battery was, how are they doing this? Battery monitor widget says 3200mA but is there another method people are using?
Also, I seem to lose roughly 5% an hour battery mostly idling, this seems far too much.
Screen shot 1st day had razr maxx. As a test I turned on absolutely everything I could, 4g, wifi, bluetooth, gps and maxed out screen brightness and managed to still squeeze out 16hours of battery life. The entire time I was listening to music, texting, surfing the web, watching video's while running a live wallpaper.

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design
Ah, that reminds me that I need to install adb. Would the android terminal emulator provide this on a non rooted?
EDIT: Yes it works. Battery is 3200.

What in the WHAT!!! My battery life has been up and down since I've had this phone. I sotpped using the GMAIL email app and am using Type mail for all my accounts. That seemed to help out with a small bit of the battery life, I didn't do any specific tests so it could actually have not changed anything at all. I'm having a very strange issue yesterday and today. I'm at my new office, signal strength is very low, but there's still 4G and a tiny bar of service. Additionally, I have WiFi available to connect to so the data shouldn't be straining to use the cell radio. I have my phone plugged into the wall (it's not the fast charger, just the regular Samsung plug) and the battery IS DRAINING!!! How is this even possible, what is chewing up my battery life? I've also seen the phone slow in it's responsiveness lately? I am considering a soft reset to factory, but I don't do anything really crazy with my phone. I email, facebook, text, and have Nova Prime and a weather widget. What is going on with this thing?

Take a look at your battery status. Post a screen shot when you experienced a bad drain again.
Try not to use wifi at all
Did you install one drive during setup. Check the camera upload setting which is turned on by default. So all ur pics upload to cloud on wifi. See if this setting helps

I looked at it yesterday before I posted...and I should have taken a screenshot...but the top two were Cell Standby @ 14% and Android System @ 13%. I will have the opportunity to grab a screenshot later today. In contrast though, this morning in the last 10 minutes since I've left my house I've gone from 95% to 90% and this reply and an uber was the only thing I've done on it since taking it off the charger.

That's not an option. I have a low data plan, 3GB, because it is SIGNIFIGANTLY cheaper and I live in DC where I have free Wi-Fi almost throughout every inch of the city. Plus when at home I have my phone on my network to take advantage of Wi-Fi and corporate resources.

It wasn't installed during setup, I have AT&T, but during the install after I made sure to disable all those features and verified it was still disabled. All the cloud apps I have disabled any upload features.

I wrote a post over at reddit about this topic:
w w w .reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/345tt9/galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_lag_and_battery_improvement/
I can't post it on XDA yet due to the external link limitation since I am new to the forum. Just copy and paste the URL removing spaces in the URL beginning.
I am regularly seeing Lag free performance with five hour screen on time. I started with less than 2 hours SOT and constant lag.
I've just switched to the Z5C from Moto X 2013 and I'm still experiencing high cell standby battery usage. I had the same problem on my Moto X after upgrading to 5.1.1.
Interestingly, though, last month I went to Japan (with my Moto X) and cell standby didn't appear in battery usage at all while I was there, and made a huge difference to battery life.
So I'm wondering if it's somewhat dependent on your carrier. I'm with 3 in the UK.
See screenshot. SoT was 1hr 20 minutes.

Hopefully this problem will disappear on Android M.
Even if you restart ur phone?

Yes I've tried restarting, disabling a bunch of stuff. Nothing seems to make a difference.
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile in the USA, and my cell radio eats tons of my battery. I came from a Galaxy S4 and Droid Razr HD expecting better battery life, and the Z5C is one of the worst devices I've owned in terms of battery life. Used 2% in literally a minute earlier today with screen @ 10%, Wifi/Location/Bluetooth off and running like one app (Instagram). I typically burn through 40-50% of my battery with one hour of screen on time per day. There was one day when it had great battery life, but that's it. Hoping the new firmware fixes it.
I'm having low LTE signal with the Z5 Compact, but surprisingly the battery life (and internet quality) seems to be not affected by this.
I think I had a little more signal strength with my old Nexus 5, but that phone used to spend much more battery at low signal.
I still need to test this with HSDPA signal. But at least with LTE I don't have battery drains. (I mean my battery stats are "red/orange" because of the bad signal, but still have excellent battery life).
Now If I enter to a bar or a place with 0% signal, the battery drains pretty fast, but that is normal in all cellphones.
