This phone has pretty good battery life !
Easily lasts a day with heavy use !
What's your experience ?
I'll start with mine

My 2nd charge result.

My Mi3's battery life
The screen shots show my battery consumption. I have been consistently getting this ever since the "power saving" option was removed from the latest stable Malaysian ROM. Am satisfied nonetheless

I know it's not the Mi3, but it's pretty similar. This is my Mi4 today so far
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4

The results have been good so far. Using mobile data all the time, 3g while web surfing, 2g for rest of the times. Maybe we would get around 6hrs screen on time. High performance mode all the time..

No use of posting such screenshot when u keep on charging ur mobile. Please post relevant stuff..

I'm a heavy user, myself browsing and using 3g gets about roughly 6.5 hours screen on time, the phone practically uses no charge during standby that's quite amazing

Battery
I am not a heavy user, hence my phone don't dry a lot of juice. I do facebook and twitter mostly on my Mi 3, the battery doing good last a day out. The next morning battery still 25% left. The device is on WiFi most of the time, no data.

here are my stats
WIUI 4.6.20

If it's unrooted all you can do is let the battery drain and phone die for once then leave it for few hours then charge it completely while switched off and see what happens.
If this doesn't help you can avail 30 days exchange policy.

[Q] battery life

I'm very concern with my battery performance due to i've read there are people that the battery reach more than 1-2 days, it's true? because my battery only reach 15 hours with a regular operation.
Same mate, depends on what you call normal usage tho, and what you got on the phone. If i dont use it for anything but txts it will last 2 days, otherwise no chance. Use atk pro and kill all non essentials at screen off and cpu master set to powersave to give you bout 25% longer run time.

The rom Im using is rendeiro Cyanogen 6.1.3 V1, camera fix.
When I said that my operation with the phone is normal, because it is. Let see.
20 minutes on voice.
Email sync always on
Xda app many times at day
30 minutes in the web
Twitter sync each 30 minutes
2 or 3 facebook uses at day
And watch a few small videos
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I do everything u do except for the facebook sync and twitter sync. Thats probably doing that to ur battery. My battery last probaby for two days but i drain it every night to really low then charge it over night. Try turning off facebook and twitter sync and see what happens for a day
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 Cyanogen 6.1.3gingerbreadV1 ROM
I charge every night, but while in tours, I make sure, I keep my data traffic / wifi / GPS turned off while phone is on standby to extend the battery life.. That helps to push it on for around 2 days at max..
While in roaming, the Network signal strengths also eats a lot of battery, some one told me to use 2G network only, dont know how effective is that..
My phone goes for about one day but i am a heavy user. Youtube browsing using messneger on phone , texting with girlfriwnd . etc i dont mind though ots plugged in each time i go to bed. So when i wake up i have a fully charged phone again to repeat my daily usage

[Q] Most screen time you have got with one full battery charge?

Obviously it all depends on what you've done while the screen was turned on but it'd be an interesting statistic.
Overall battery:
26hrs on stock rom 1.8.3
16hrs on gingerblur 3.1
Both with more than 3:30hrs of display on
About 24hrs on battery with 4hr15min with the display on. I think I have a screenshot on FB, lol.
I might be on to something here then..
Am using GladiAtrix 3 b0.2, before I installed it I did a battery stats reset through CWM
(advise from KennethPenn, dev of Gingerblur):
"""- Reset battery in CWM (under Advanced)
- Drain your battery to 0 percent and let it turn the phone off, then charge it back up to 100%."""
On my phone are more than 120 apps installed. Battery Manager is on "Maximum ".
The result is fairly amazing; the display time of almost 7 hrs is under heavy use; wlan & sync constantly on, Xscope & XDA app non-stop checking, market downloads, etc!! I have never had such good battery!
I advise everyone to do the above, it really helps.

That's right, only 2g unless I need 3g for data. I'm always around a wifi though.
No task manager, android 2.2 does all that automatically.
Not sure battery manager is so aggressive, I think it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes.

6hrs is my personal best, straight stock phone.
I've just put mine on charge, prob got about 40-50 hours, mostly standby. Seems a lot but I just unpacked my charger from going away for the weekend.
Prob about 4 hours talk time, prob 3 hours web. No GPS, no wifi.
Strange thing is, the battery thing said '5 hours since unplugged' which is definately not the case, is this a known issue? 5 hours since I rebooted it maybe.
when you reboot - the time since unplugged counter is reset.
Is there a way to do the battery stats reset without CWM?

a little off topic but howd you get that 1% battery mod and not the ugly circle, this looks kinda nice sitting at 33%, can one get that without gingerblur , stock plus root would do?
on topic, i get about 2 days on a medium usage on my battery , 1.5 days on heavy, i dont think i could use another phone after getting this much battery life, i just wonder what gingerbread would do to this phone
5 1/2 hours, with 3G turned on. Although the last 45 minutes of that it was just sitting at the launcher, I was waiting for the battery to die on it. I usually average 2-3 hours, but when I charge my phone I usually still have about 50% left.
Seeing as I rarely use data, I may have to try that 2G trick. Maybe I could charge it every other day instead of each night.
My best "Screen On" time is close to 4.5 hrs running Greyblur. For those just posting "time since unplugged"..screen on time is a much better indicator for battery life imo because it means actual use. The phone sitting idle in your pocket or on your table for 48 hrs is misleading to some people because then they wonder why they're only getting 12hrs with 5hrs of actual "useage" (screen on time).
For my style of use..battery saver modes and apps don't do me any favors because then I miss out on my IM's which I rely on for most of my communication. And unfortunately 2G isn't an option any more for most of us Canadian users..as 2G has been pretty much phased out.

With you on that, I keep asking people to post screen usage time (also in other threads); anything else is fairly misleading on how long the battery lasts.

At the moment screen time 2hrs 50mins battery stands at 55%
That's with wifi or 3g when screen is on

Battery on Xperia P

Anybody can report about battery on Xperia P? Is it have long time when we use it?

It's terrible mate. I'm returning mine to Sony. Was on 17% at 4pm, unplugged at 7am with moderate use.

I'm very satisfied with the battery life. I keep mobile data off except for about 1 hour per day, otherwise use wifi. Bluetooth is on whenever I'm in the car.. 2 or 3 phone calls per day on average, 5-10 text messages.
My battery usually lasts 3 days.
i will not believe this unless you post battery history screenshot.
My battery last no longer than 36 hours (from 100% to turn off) when i don't use my phone almost at all, with moderate use (3-5 calls and 10 sms), i unplug from charger in the morning and plug it back at the evening
Battery is realy good on Xperia NXT series compared to other Android devices.On my Xperia U it usualy last for 3-4 days,and it charges realy fast
Ok thanks all guys, i just want to know because i need to move to Xperia P today!!! I saw someone post their opinion that only 2hours battery life on Xperia P!!!
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
Here's a screenshot with my average useage. It lasts more then 2 days for me.
Also ICS on xperia P has a new standby mode, then you can stay like 1week with this if you dont use your phone, even with "normal use" you can stay like 4days
I hands Xperia P now all Say Hello to me please ^^

I am nearly always connected to wifi and I set up Juice defender in a way that it disables mobila data when connected to wifi based on location. So the straight answer is: yes.
Where is the battery history of Xpeira P?
I can't find it!
BTW I have examined battery graph/history of many android phones. this one is a bit strange.

Battery life very poor ~ 12 hours

I bought a new battery for my S2 thinking that there was some issue with the original battery. But even the new battery does't run beyond 12 hours. I am running wanamlite 14.6 with default kernel. I always keep my 2G on. Account sync is off. Power saving is on. Brightness set to minimum level. Fast dormancy is off. I have also seen that battery dies within a couple of hours on wifi connectivity. Battery usage is mainly by android OS and screen and voice calls.
Please provide suggestions how can I extend battery life to atleast a full day.

Hey
There are plenty of tutorials/guides on how to extend battery life.. all you have to do is...(yepp here is comes) Search
Close apps you don't use such as FB, FB Messenger YouTube etc. If you're on ICS/JB download Greenify. Decrease brightness. Turn off Bluetooth, WiFi, Mobile Data when you don't use it. Use 2G instead of 3G(if you don't need it).

Can anyone explain this behaviour : phone hangs all of a sudden, screen goes off and when I restart my mobile battery is just half of what it was a minute before.
See screenshot attached.
After taking this screenshot battery lasted for hardly 5 minutes.

Hi! I had the same issue just a couple of days ago, it happened with a "alternative chinese" battery.
I think you should check out the quality of the battery you got, cuz with the genuine Sammy battery, everything works okay.
PD: Sorry about my english!

[Q] battery life doesn't seem to be consistent?

Hey guys, so the title says it all, my first charge from this device was just over 4 hours which is pretty good and it went all the way to nearly 6 hours screen on time and now its at 40% with stamina mode on, and screen on auto brightness with 2hours and 44 mins
So it might get to 3.5 hours before it dies which isnt great at all -.-
I use my phone pretty much the same every day, bit of Facebook twitter instagram etc
Do you guys have these problems? Battery life isn't bad, its just not consistent. Hopefully KitKat brings even better battery life ?

how you use the phone might not seen to differ to you, but may to the CPU/GPS/etc..
also 3/4g reception will have an affect on the battery life

social media apps are really bad! Don't use them.. no seriously dont!! they constantly use CPU and connectivity hardware every minute, so your device probably isn't using deep sleeping during this time. I'm betting thats whats doing it
