With everything on (sync, google now, locations....) and 2-3 bars. The battery is amazing and the font changer is awesome. I should probably turn off all the location reporting and stuff. This wasn't just reading things, it was all chrome browsing, some videos and games, and about 2 hours of pandora

Yup. If I can get rid of the android system drain (it's the wlan_rx wake lock), it would be even better. I think you can get a full 24 hrs of screen on time with your battery at the rate your going

lol i think i might cap out at 14 hours on screen been playing with drastic ds emulator and youtube too much XD

Well, then mine is even better than I thought. All stock with OEM battery.
This using it together with my Gear2 Neo all day plus about 30 minutes of running with GPS On.

thats pretty sick for stock :3 but i am still in my 2nd cycle of receiving the battery so its not at full potential but i am still amazed

Ok, am I missing something y'all are doing on Stock? I'm getting like ~13hrs use with 2-3hrs battery if I'm lucky on stock.

Like I said, all stock. Worst I've got is 5.5 hours of Screen on time on a full day with GPS on a lot, Bluetooth for my Gear2 Neo and car and not close to a wifi signal for a good amount of time.
The one I posted is one of my best stats but my normal average is 6 - 6.5 hours of Screen on time.

Odd... no settings or anything you changed, or apps disabled? I've done all I can and can't get anywhere near what you're reporting. Especially with my Gear 2 Neo connected.
Since day one Android System and Android OS have been wrecking my battery life. Consistently using significantly more battery than my screen except on rare circumstance.

Yes, a lot of changes, funny thing is that I took the time to post a long thread with all the details a month and a half back just a couple of weeks after I bought it, and seeing the few responses I got it seems than nobody paid attention to this here and in the other forum I posted it.
If you want to take a look just do a search for my username and you should find it.

Good to hear! I'll dig for it now, I've not been active about at all since I got my s5... new job and I've been buried in work ever since.

I found the thread, only thing I put back was the option to keep WiFi on all the time not just when charging, I noticed later that it didn't matter, so I put it back as default.
Here is the thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734356

I actually just finished going through it. I had done a large number of those tweaks, I did the same as you with the Keep WiFi on, didn't notice a difference when I toyed with that setting a while back. I did turn off hotword detection, so we'll see if that helps. I also saw someone mention the pedometer was draining theres. As I use the pedometer on my Gear, I didn't realize the device still had the pedometer running as well, so I disabled that. Can't think of too much else to mess with, but we'll see if those few small tweaks knock that Android System and OS drain down.

Yeah mine does that too, but I can still get over 5 hours easy. It must be some rogue app thats causing your battery to drain quickly.

That's my assumption. I tried deleting everything and installing one by one to isolate that when I first got it to no avail. May have to try it again soon. Running the latest software update now, and gonna give my latest tweaks another day or so to see.

Why is my battery so crappy?

Tried couple of different roms kernel combos and even when I remove sim card and using only WiFi I can see the battery percentage drop by the minute. If screen on its when battery really suffer. I already changed battery and still same ****
What can I do or try ... Must of the time I use a g nex but I like the rezound camera better and of course beats audio battery last ne around 4-5 hours. Ridiculous.

I'm satisfied with the extended battery. It impresses me daily and I never have to worry about 15000 tasker rules to try and save battery. I just leave everything on all the time.
I never used the stock battery.
There is plenty of conflicting information about battery stats, but I've found bump charging and clearing battery stats to be helpful on other phones, even if that's just a perception thing.

I have crappy battery life on stock with minimal use, bought the extended battery and it was much better. Only issue.. i bought an otterbox defender lol.. so had to go back to stock so just frequent recharging.
I think the answer is because the battery just sucks. Its way undersized for this phone. It's hard to get a real handle on it though because everyone thinks of their usage has normal or heavy, so the accounts you read are tottaly irrelevant to how you use it.
I normally am screen on and 3G for 45-60 each morning for some news and slacking before getting to work. That will eat half my battery, which is completely unacceptable IMO. On a weekend when I pick it up a couple times an hour for a this or that, I still only get like 10-12 hours.
Our only hope is that the next phone that takes the place of the rezound has a higher capacity battery that will work for us like the deal with the thunderbolt. Otherwise, ill continue to haul around adapters and my New Trent battery whenever I'm going to be away from home for more than a few hours.
Incredible. And I hates extended battery unless they low profile like the g nex one! Anyway. Gonna try wipe battery in cwm ...thanks

My phone stock was lasting around 4 hours moderate use. Unlocked and flashed CleanRom and now I consistently get around 24 hours. I can't imagine trying to use the phone as it comes all the time...it would drive me nuts charging that much!

You try managing the simple things ? Like disabling auto sync, brightness down and wifi not looking for network constantly ? And if your done with an app close it, i mean honestly battery on rezound sucks. But those tips help a bit .

CWM has always had issues wiping battery stats. I really doubt the resound version will do all that well at it either.
Use Amon ra or one of the utilities to wipe battery stats from the market or even better delete it yourself manually.

Wiping battery stats does nothing. Google even said it doesn't help.

This. There is really no reason to have the screen brightness set to over 20% When I was turning LTE off I would normally get around 20 hours on CleanROM. That's with 2 hours of screen on time and moderate use throughout the day. Been leaving LTE on and getting 14 to 16.

maybe in a pitch black room set the brightness down that low.
I use auto, but I also have 2 extended batteries and gave up on power mgmt a long time ago.
Hopefully, htc will take a page from moto and make phones with 3000mah+ nonremovable batteries. I would be ok with that.

Run my screen that low constantly unless I'm in the bright sun. Auto is a battery killer. Have no desire to use an extended battery. If they started using fixed batteries they would be driving away a lot of customers. Motorola is the last manufacturer anyone needs to emulate!

really? I am intrigued by the razr maxx simply because of the 3300mah battery. Not to mention, everyone raves about the new software moto phones have that allow you to set profiles.
I just don't like the pentile screens.
And I don't think a 3300mah battery would drive away many people. That battery would last 99% of the smartphone users over 24 hours.
The 3300 mah sounds great. The fact of not being removable is a modder's nightmare. Moto's encrypted bootloaders and god awful motoblur are major turn offs. Not to mention that all their handsets since the DX have a terrible feel.
The extended battery is nice, but I only use it when I know I'll need it because it destroys the contours of the device and makes it even more of a brick than it already is.

When I first got the phone (on release day) I was pulling 25 hours with the stock battery. I'd have the brightness on auto and use wifi whenever possible. While I was sleeping I would put it in airplane mode so I could use it as an alarm clock and not have anything else wake me up.

That made me laugh, that's like having a gorgeous car but never taking it out of the garage. You have a beautiful screen but at a brightness that low you can't appreciate it. With the extended battery I leave mine at full brightness or 75%, with the standard battery I keep it 60% or less.

Official Battery Stats Thread

Hey all,
Didn't notice if there was one of these where everyone could post screenshots of their battery usage for the new Evo. I'm thinking we should have a central location to discuss this. Attached are my recent stats and I'm wondering if this is considered good battery life or if something is up with my phone. Mods, if one of these exists, please close and post link.

Seems low I haven't really put my battery through cycles yet but I'll post when I get a chance...I'm guessing from what I've seen so far about 4-5 hours screen on time with mix of internet/games
If you don't post your screen on time shot it really doesn't matter imho...but the 3 shots most people are putting up is perfect for comparison...just my two cents.

i got some pretty good use out of mine. Watched some netflix in the morning before heading to work.
Man I wish I could get 4 hours of screen time. I'm looking slightly better than my OG evo between 2 and 3 hours. Plus I've been tweaking and monitoring. I've killed latitiude, froze a ton of stuff, CDMA only. Using better battery stats to monitor.

You have a decent of awake time when the screen is not on. You may have a wake lock. I would download better battery stats and check it out.
yup. Looks like big wakelock .

Edit: I've noticed over the last few months on ICS that listening to local music on head phones with screen off shows as awake time with solid blue line. Which does make sense, as the phone is not sleeping, but I dont think it reported/showed that way in gingerbread. You used to be able to just compare blue lines for determining a wakelock (other than music).
Just throwing this out there FWIW.

It actually might have something to do with all the monitoring your doing. I've found if I leave it alone and don't worry about things I easily get a whole day with all radios on 3 hours of screen time and still have about 40%. The battery life comes from the processor so letting it sleep is key.

This phone is godly, but It's been on the charger more than it hasn't and the battery drains so fast if I do anything. This seriously SUCKS... This morning it got to about 40% battery in about 3 hours. I must be super spoiled from my 3500mAh battery lasting over a day with heavy use on my OG EVO. i just wish there was something we could do. What a shame.

If you were using your phone the majority of those 3 hours that would actually be great battery life.

I agree. But when I noticed that I was having bad battery life, I had to find out what the cause was. Sometimes it is a rogue app or a system component gone bonkers. Best to try and root it out and then go back to the non-monitoring.

That day I took those pics I was at work. So the wake time without the screen on was me playing podcasts with the screen off. No downloading them. But I seem to have the same result with or without the podcasts.
But I think I did find a major culprit today. One of the stocks widgets I was using seemed to be draining the battery. I uninstalled it and my battery stats seem better.
Not bad.

Pull down the notification bar hit settings then power then click on the power bar which should bring up the breakdown of the battery
I have terrible battery life....
This is also with an hour of voice calls.
And my signal isn't too great for most of the charge.
If you are getting poor battery life, and have disabled any apps, you may want to consider reenabling them to see if that helps. It seems counter intuitive, but I noticed a significant drop in battery life after disabling certain pre installed apps.

vanilla rootbox battery... weak

Just flashed vanilla root box and my battery stats are terrible.
Anyone else seeing this type of battery life?

That tells us very little. Please show processor speed charts, screen on time, and deep sleep percentage. That will allow people to get an idea of your usage. If that time included a couple hours of gaming I'd say you're doing fine. If it was complete idle, you have a rogue app.

I see LTE with one bar in your screenshot; Being in a low-signal area will Kill your battery no matter what you're running.
Also, I'm willing to bet you're still on first boot.

Sorry guys.
I'm still somewhat .... new to all of the stats. I try to read as much as I can but got a few babies running around so it makes it a little difficult.
Although when I took the screenshot I was only in one bar, but all day I was out in graduation for my daughter. It was pretty hot outside which was frying my phone as well as my face four about 3 hours.
I am on first flash for the ROM. I was trying to personalize everything in regards to aesthetics and my phone was just majorly over heating. I went from 60% to about 30% in about 20 minutes.
I guess I can toss all apps and take it one at a time.
Thanks for chiming in tho. I do appreciate any help I can get

S5 Battery Consumption

I had an LG G Pro and when i went to sleep every night the phone was at 100% and it would be like that for 8 hours of sleep, now with my Galaxy S5 the phone will consume 1% in 8 hours. I know that's nothing but why is it doing that if i'm not using the phone.

It all really depends on what your phone is doing or what is running in the background.
If you want to get to the root of the problem ( stand by for pun ) you should root your device (eyyyy ) but seriously root it and install wake lock detector. See what is using your phone and waking it up out of sleep. It could be that it randomly looses signal and starts searching for it during the night or it could be something like Facebook waking up and checking for updates.
The lg g pro has a stronger battery thats y

1% in idle is still amazing. Unless the phone is powered down, I'm not sure how you can really get much better than that.
"Samsung’s press materials say that the phone offers about 390 hours of standby time with LTE on." - Still insanely impressive and you probably have to have Ultra Power Saving mode on, which puts your phone's appearance and operations in crap mode.
If you lost 1% every 8 hours, then you will be getting roughly 800 hours of standby, which is double what Samsung claims you can achieve.
If you are going by what the other poster said, then he/she is likely referring to having the phone rooted and applying the "Greenify" app. This will hibernate anything, including system apps. I do hope you have luck with that... for some reason, when I use Greenify on this phone, I get worse battery life than with it off. I"m too lazy to tinker with it...
you do know that the phone is still on consuming power / electricity during idle/sleep mode, right...? I get about 3 days idle if I rarely use the phone and have like 11 things syncing stuff, which I find good.

How can you expect any electronic device that is ON to not have any battery consumption over 8 hours? obviously it needs to consume power to stay powered on...cpu is still running..cellphone still needs to maintain communication to the cell towers...syncing is still happening...running apps or system apps are still updating their status....

Could also be because the S5 just uses more power than the G Pro when on standby. I highly doubt it used less than 1% power in 8 hours though...
Just found out something, not sure if it helps, but I did notice a significant increase when you turn off location services for Google apps... namely the ability for Google maps to access your surrounding area and probe it for updated information. I saw an immediate increase after 19 hours I was at 62% having used the phone for regular use... so I think this might be the main culprit, although I'm not sure what LG is doing. I suspect that there is some sort of background killer in there working behind the scenes though.

[Q] Battery Life

I looked and didn't see any battery related threads on the Sprint HTC One M9 forum, so please correct me if I am mistaken and should be posting elsewhere.
When the applications were timing out (an LTE issue that appears to have been resolved or being resolved by Sprint), I noticed my battery draining. I thought it was related to those applications, but I am noticing the following:
1) Excellent battery use when phone is on standby (screen not on)
2) Battery drains at about 1% every two minutes when browsing the web, which would give about 3.33 hours of usage. I'm trying to determine if that is normal for this phone, as with the same settings the M8 was much better. It does appear to be what is being measured: http://www.trustedreviews.com/htc-one-m9-review-battery-life-call-quality-and-verdict-page-6
I am curious what others are noticing with battery usage when the phone is on and being used, for example web browsing for about ten minutes (that would appear to drain the battery by 5%)?
This is with no power saving options enabled, but I am using auto screen dim.

Screen on time of 3 hours is pretty normal. That's about all I can add. Only phones like the note and the one max got more.

Is anyone else getting better than about 3.5 hours of actual screen on time (SOT)?

Mine seems pretty good. I do run greenify and my phone is connected to wifi a lot. I also keep my brightness down. I have no problem getting through the day with moderate use. LTE certainly drains more batter which when connected to wifi I sometimes will set my phone to CDMA only since LTE is a waste to only get texts over. Comparable to my m8, running bad Boyz.
I usually can go a whole day on one charge, this is from today and I watched 2 movies and ran slacker and YouTube quite a bit today. You can also see how often the signal crapped out.
Edit: I only use data on sprint network and don't use Wi-Fi
I have noticed a dive in battery life recently. I wonder if an update is to blame.
Usage stats shows peel remote using like 17% during screen off and I never use that app. No settings go to turn it off and can't uninstall.
I'm not at all impressed or even pleased with the battery life. From off charge and sitting in my car unused for 55 minutes + 1 text and 5 minutes of browsing I dropped 7%.
I am hoping that part of it is the phone's radio problems in B41 areas causing it to work harder thus burning battery. However, I shouldn't have to disable LTE. In the general M9 forums there's a thread where it seems like 6+ hours SOT should be the acheivable, in which case it's really a bummer. I also think there's still a leak somewhere in Lollipop. My M7 on BadBoys KK would run like a champ all day and then some (like getting home with 65% after being in a crap signal area but still on wifi), but when updated to Lollipop I noticed an immediate drop in battery life, similar to what I'm seeing now. I'm lucky to get home with 30% remaining.
@ccs86 Not sure why you can't uninstall peel - I just did.
Look again. You just uninstalled the updates.

I've yet to get more than 3.5 SOT hours, while the standby time is great.
I'd love to hear feedback of ideas from anyone on Sprint that has more than 3.5 SOT hours.

3 hours is average for a phone 3.5 is pretty good actually.

brightness on auto,3g/lte on for two hours and Wi-Fi on for rest of time. I only played fallout shelter for 10 minutes. Power saver on the whole time. Can anyone help me ?
That's about what I'm getting on mine... 3-3.5hrs SOT max. 60% battery remaining with 1:38 SOT looks good to me. I see people who have the M9 that are not on Sprint posting about 5+ hours SOT. I don't know if that means there is a Sprint-specific problem, or if they are just getting really lucky.
My biggest issue is from sporadic wake lock from AudioIn / Googlequicksearchbox
I am not using a Google widget. The voice detection doesn't work with screen off, so it obviously shouldn't wakelock the phone.
