Hi have my phone five days now, and was super thrilled about the supposed battery life.
Well, not very happy so far, battery life seems to be worse than my HTC U11.
I have installed AccuBattery (Pro) and it tells me my Design capacity for the battery is 1000mah. This cannot be correct, so I changed it to 4200 mah.
It is telling me my battery health is 92%. What is going on, as I feel battery life is not that good. Do I have a faulty phone??
I agree
Sounds like it's faulty. The battery on mine is amazing. Lasts for ages and charges ridiculously quickly.

omg then. What to do. I have had it less than a week. Why would accubattery display 1000mah
Send it back and get a replacement under warranty.

Post your battery status, use device id app to see if you have 4200mah.
You might have rogue app, try to clear cache via recovery.

How do I do that please I just installed a device id app and it tells me battery 4200mAh
Weird AccuBattery says 1000mAh
Gsam battery stats, install that and it will show you the battery usage.
Also go to settings, battery, battery usage, upload a screen shot
I added two files to show you what is you should be getting, please note, our usage is vastly different, so YMMV.

Official Huawei stores can change your battery for about 20USD. Just contact any of your local Huawei outlets.
I also use AccuBattety and it reports the battery at 92% too. My guess is that AccuBattety has a harder time estimating the charge properly because of the super fast charging. I've never tried with a slow charger to see if its reading would be any different.
That said, I usually get around 7-8h of on screen time.
Standby drain is usually decent though sometimes if it drains too quickly overnight, I looks at the battery stats in settings and usually find an app misbehaving. I like going in the battery details, software section and looking at the summary per hour to see which app consumes how much. Usually at night I'll only have 1-2 apps consuming like 1 mah per hour. But sometimes I find an app that might have crashed or something and consumes more.
I am pretty impressed I usually get around 7.5 hours with a fair use of Facebook which drains juice, but without using Facebook I can get 9.5 to 10.5 hour SOT.
I usually charge up and unplug before going to sleep, with wifi and location services on I lose at most 2% in 7 to 8 hour, with mobile data on I lose about 4 to 5 percent.
I am quite a heavy user, but Gsam battery says average of 9 hours SOT since measurements began a few weeks ago.
I'd like to see how long it would last on standby but I'd never get to do that ? unless I go to device Rehab.

I would say light use, 10 mins off Facebook at night. Charged it to 100 % last night and took it off charge before I went to sleep. Went from 100 to 88% over 9 hours while I was sleeping. Is that normal?

It's poor but that's because u have apps that draining the juice, even without mobile data or wifi on, Facebook is the first one.
Had same issue, today i lost 2% in 8 hours, which is very good.
Make sure before you go to sleep, to turn off your mobile data and any app that needs internet connection in the background, mainly facebook, insta and such...
my usage 2 days without charging...
20% left....
and over 9 hours OST.....
battery life is amazing!

As it should be,I'm upset:crying:
Went back to the three shop today, explained all. Guy in shop took a couple of photos of the battery stats, and said he will call me back, I just want a new phone.
I had an HTC U11 previously, with all the same apps installed, and a lower capacity battery, and phone would last me all day with 45% or so at the end of the day. All settings the same.
I'm convinced it's a faulty battery. Proving it is difficult.

cancel your upgrade and start again if you can. Thats why I always buy online or over the phone so I get the 14 day return option.

I unplugged my phone at about 10:30am and at 11:28am it when from 100% to 90%!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that the battery was suppose to last a good 24hours like Engadget said.
Any suggestions?
its better than most other android phone i had.
10% every hour of heavy use I am not complaining
if u REALLY want to save batter turn off auto sync, gps, bluetooth and other crap

The battery counter of Atirx is by 10%. So, even it shows 90%, that may means 90% to 99%

Mine has been less than impressive today as well. Not good.
Mine seems to be pretty good so far. I think it'll take a few charges to get the most out of it though. I've used it a ton since about 10am and it's showing 80%. That could be anywhere from 80-89%.
Mines been sitting at 90% for about 3 hours now. It shows 90% when it drops down even a little bit because its only done in 10% increments. Pretty stupid if you have a phone to boast about battery... Motorola dropped the ball on that. You basically have a lowered battery meter all day lol
Thanks guys for all of the help!
My battery life has been decent, I unplugged it at 5pm yesterday, drove home with Trapster running (so screen on continuous for 30 minutes), used it heavily playing with it for a few hours in the evening, left it on to wake me up in the morning..
and drove back to work for 30 minutes with trapster when the 5% battery life warning went off right when I got to work.
No complaints here.
Unplugged the phone at 5am and it's 15mins to 12pm here - still full though I did laptop dock it for 5 mins several times to show people at work.

After 4 hours, I am at 75%. Email, tweaking, texting, 2 hr conference call on BT (Finiti w/Motospeak). If you check settings, Battery Manager, touch the Battery... you will see a usage breakdown. This phone is amazing. I expect after a few full charging cycles, the battery should get to full strength.
Is there a way to disable the 3G radio to save battery life (like in the iPhone)?

+1. Do a few charge cycles and then see how you feel.
I got my phone at 30 percent and it lasted four hours of straight playing around with until it hit 10 percent and I put it on a charger. My nexus one would have died with a full charge by then(original battery).
I'll see how it goes in a week, battery life takes a bit to figure out.
Remember that break-in period for batteries when you buy a new phone. Maybe after about a week it will get better? Also maybe try that battery calibrating trick...

Well considering there's no way to know it's at 75% lol it could be at 70% or 79%...either way it would show 70%. The battery only displays at 10% updates.
You can also set up custom battery saver modes in the settings>battery save(think that's it)
My battery life kicks arse. It may be helped with my ultimate juice and tasker, but I streamed rhapsody all day at work on rhapsody, and my battery is outperforming my iphone 4. I'm very thrilled.

Mine has also done extremely well, especially considering it's day one. I've toyed with it all day playing games, music and YouTube along with browsing and playing flash video. It's been outstanding so far.
Battery gauge lies. But it's normal (kind of). See here:

Apps like that only increase standby battery life. Everything else is very minimal.
And I'm not happy with the battery life either. My phone is plugged in right now and the battery is actually going down as I use it.

If it's notbthe stock charger you areblikely not using a rapid charger.
Sent from my SGH-I717R
I pull mine off the charger at 7:00 and at 3pm or so it's down to 85%, I'll put it on the charger at work until I leave around 5-6pm (mainly because I'm used to having to do this on my previous phone) and at night if I'm not using it constantly it's around 70-75% when I plug it in at bed time.
I suspect anyone getting that bad of battery life must be using it constantly, ie: Playing games, browsing, trolling facebook, etc.. Even in the "new toy" stage I'm getting great battery life.
FYI I don't have LTE, but do generally have good 4G.
You honestly can't use any phone on GPS without external power and expect that you're not going to discharge quickly. Assuming that you are running a car charger during GPS and just didn't say so, search the i-717 threads, since the topic has been well vetted on what chargers are more effective,etc. There are definite differences.

The fact that there are people out there that get really good battery life means the problem is you and not the phone. If you refresh facebook every minute of course your battery life will be crappy. apps like juicedefender are just marketing crap. as long as there are no running apps in the background that eat your battery, you do not need any juicedefender or tasker. also setting screen-off behavior to conservative on set cpu helps improve battery life.
When I first got my i717 and was using it on the stock rom I had pretty terrible battery life. I take it off the charger at 5:00am and had decent battery life (around 5 to 7 hours without GPS) but I use my phone a lot for internet/email. I think your battery life is completely normal given your usage.
Most people get about 5hrs screen on time. Total on battery ranges up to about 24hrs, but only if the screen is off at least 19 of them.

I had GPS running on my phone for 4 hours today, had blue tooth on half the time without knowing it, sending text messages, making two 5 min phone calls, checking maps, checking FML and reading a book for about an hour and drained down to about 70% and I have the brightness set at auto. I would exchange it for a new battery.
On average with several texts per hour, several 5-10 min phone calls, taking a few pics and uploading them to picasa, checking facebook, updating status and checking emails I can pull off the charger at 630am and still have 50% battery (at least) by 630pm.
I do have the juicedefender (which isn't crap, it turns off signal after so long so you aren't trolling for signals when you aren't on the phone).

I had a ss of my buddies yesterday, but can't restore mms lol. There are plenty of other ss in the note section. He was at 22+ hrs with about 4:30 of screen on and some % remaining. I have to charge around 7-9 everynight at 4-4:30 hrs screen on, but my use is pretty heavy. I sync 4 gmail accounts, a separate GV, 3 calendars, and several apps.
If yours is much worse than that, you likely have a few troublesome apps or are playing games. First, after a full charge, reset cpuspy timers, lock it, and set it down for a few hours (I know, impossible). Then check to see that your CPU has been in deep sleep about 95% of the time. If not, use better battery stats to see what has been request wakelocks. Not only the most total time, but the total number. Any app that looks outrageous, freeze it or uninstall it. For system processes that look troublesome, Google. You can often find simple tricks online that will tell you what's causing them to go crazy. Beyond that, turn off syncing of anything that isn't needed or doesn't matter (like Facebook), and uninstall stuff you never use.
Another slight help is the brightness widget (don't use the actual widget, just put the app on your homescreen, it works the same) or dimmer in market as they can both set the brightness to a value of 10 (Samsung lowest stock is 20), and even if you can't tell the difference, it helps. Jkay settings in saurom can set the auto brightness profile slightly darker than stock. Umm, and the obvious, use less Widgets, longer sync intervals, processor scaling and speed profiles, and buy a couple rapid chargers, wall and auto.
A couple things to note after seeing a few of these posts...
BT can be on, but without it searching, connected, or listening it's not active.
GPS isn't active unless its in use aand you see the icon in the notification bar. That being said, fb, websites, and many other apps that request location will activate it.

YOU MUST CALIBERATE THE BATTERY!! I have no issues I use my phone heavy all day and get 15 hours and I still have 20% left. All you have to do is
1) Charge you phone until it says "charged"
2)Leave phone plugged in and power off and let it charge until the battery meter literally says "100" (screen will sleep so you can check with volume rocker to light screen)
3) power on phone and let boot and than power off and wait till you see 100% again
4) now keep doin this and you will notice it will start displaying "100%" faster and faster usually takes 6-7 times cycling like this
5) After you do this download Battery Caliberation (root required) app from market and hit the caliberate button and boom your good to go
I do this on every android phone I own when I flash a new rom or purchase a fresh one. Everyone should do this everytime you flash a new rom and I can CONFIRM significant battery longevity on all my android phones I have done this with
You only have to do it once so just get it out the way and you'll get through a whole dayand have some juice to play with.
I get 15+ hours and do not any battery juice defender apps

Just to be clear here, Tasker has nothing to do with battery life. It doesn't hurt it, nor "help" it. However, you certainly could write tasks/contexts that would decrease battery life, and there are a few scripts out there which do silly stuff like autokilling, etc... But if we're talking "battery savings", Tasker and JD do not go in the same category.
IMO JD is only useful if you're frequently in an area with no signal, like you work in a basement or deep inside of a solidly constructed building. Since you mentioned Tasker, in this context it does help me a bit on battery because my wifi turns off when I leave the house, but that's also something JD can help with. If you don't have a wifi connection it'll turn off wifi (and I believe turn it back on periodically to see if there's one available?) I don't use JD, so can't speak too much for it.

Hour? Hour and a half? I'm working during that period. I usually hit news sites and G+ when I'm first at my desk in the morning, so that's 30 minutes or so off and on looking at it, then perhaps an hour over the rest of the day, sometimes more at lunch.

Hey guys
I got my ultra yesterday and it came with about 40% battery and it took nearly 2 hours of screen on time to kill it which was amazing
I've given it a full charge so this is my first cycle and battery life isn't great with just over 1hour and 10 minutes screen on time which is worse then my 18 month old s3
Will it get better over time? I've got all the power saving features on

1 hour 10 minutes from 100 to 0%? You should get around 5-7 hours of screentime. Just keep using it though and it should get better in a few days.

Hard to tell if it's normal or not. Are you using any apps that updates themselves frequently in the background? Widgets? Whatsapp? FB Messenger? I've had mine in standby for 8 hours (while at sleep) at 100% before, and it was still at 100% eight hours later, so it shouldn't drop 1% in 20 minutes.
Just keep using it for a week or so, and if it isn't better, you might have a lemon. But again, it's incredible hard to say what it might be. You can also do a factory reset and see if that solves anything. It might simply be a bug or an app that's gone rogue.
Agree with LordManhattan and 3mL.
When I first got it, I had the same questions about battery life. I was literally seeing it draining a percent a seconds. There were some rogue apps, like whatsapp and pinger (textfree), that were constantly doing something in the background. Uninstalled those and got much better results. After about a week or so and a few battery cycles, the battery also improved drastically.
Try some of the apps that monitor and hibernate apps, e.g. greenify and wakelock detector. I'm sure there are others but those are the ones I use.
I had a 2 percent drop last night so not to bad
And im not rooted so I cant use those apps at the moment
Ill see how it gets on
Sent from my C6833 using xda app-developers app
I m on stock rom rooted. using stamina mode while allowing some of the apps to run in background. battery life is great
never let battery life go below 50%. on contrary to popular belief, it is not wise to let ur batter drain completely. for the first few cycles refer to the manual
I normally get about 1-2% drain over night, a bit more if the cell signal decides to play up a but.
Over this week I got 4d 12h on one charge with 12% still remaining - very light usage: 3 or 4 calls, a few emails, a few geo-tagged photos, a note or two with poor signal most of the working day.
Its been rather strange for me, on the first charge cycle I got 4.5 hours of screen on time and the 2nd I got 4 hours
Im now on my 3rd and im at 85% with only 48 minutes of screen on time which isnt too bad but I feel like I have to have low battery mode and stamina mode on just to get it through the day
Hopefully Sony release a fix or 4.4 with better battery life

Well i don't want to be rude, but are you just stare to your screen for 4 hours? Or are you also doing something with the phone?
Because it really matters what kind of activity regarding your battery life you're doing. Smartphones are not battery friendly, get your charger with you or buy a mobile charger.
Hi
I bought this phone 2 week ago. already when my phone was in sleep with airplane mod , the percent of my battery was instant about 10 hours. but now when my phone is sleep with airplane mod and i dont use it , the percent of battery is decrease about 10 percent in 10 hours. i do factor reset. but the problem was not solved. i guess when i update the phone in update center, this problem was appeared. now the version of my phone is :
android version : 4.4.2
software version: V10c-AME-XX
how i can solve this problem? and how i can to return to my first version software and cancel my update?
Try getting your previous rom and flashing that, it might just work

I don't think Your issue is software-related. I've got my Mini for over a month now, and I was dissapointed about battery life on it's first days. Now I think battery shaped its own and there's no problem with battery at all - it lasts two days with moderate data usage.

How long did it take for the problem to solve itself?
I got my phone about a week ago and I was suprised that it was able to last almost 3 days before charging.
Currently battery life is just terrible (less than 24 hours while phone is practically idle, with low brighntness, disabled gps, wifi and data connection) which is quite strange because since then I have rooted my phone and got rid of bloatware.
I have read somewhere that you shouldn't allow li-ion batteries to discharge fully, unfortunately I did that unintentionally,
Is it possible that a single full depletion managed to damage the battery? Or is it possible that I deleted some crucial app?
Phone's electronics and software will protect the battery, so no worry about discharging.
Did you install any messaging app (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Tango, Facebook or similar)?
These are draining battery a lot.
No. I don't use those. I even greenified dropbox, pocket and some other apps,
I installed Busybox (I don't know if this is even relevant, honestly I have no idea what am I doing,
I just follow guides to achieve functionality I want )
You may use BetterBatteryStats to find out what sucks your battery.

Or you revert to stock and stop messing around as you had good battery life before as you wrote.

I don't use custom ROM's, after factory reset my phone isn't even rooted. I'll check out BBS soon and post some logs, they might shed some light on the issue. Built in battery usage app shows that most of the battery (30-40%) is sucked by Android OS
Factory reset did help indeed but not for long, battery worked like a charm for 3 or 4 days but problem reappeared.
We lg mini g2 two weeks and never more battery lasted 24 hours on average use. I see that most say the battery should take 2-3 days with average use but to me you is not no day. After 2 hours of Internet browsing still remain less than 50% battery. Is it normal? What will keep you battery continuous internet browsing?

Are you using Google Translator? Because I can barely understand you a little bit. My G2 mini
My smartphone battery does not last 24 hours but I have to admit, I have installed Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Whatsapp, Chrome, Firefox and lots of applications more.

It depends on your usage and brightness settings.
Normally I keep my brightness below 40%.
If I play ingress in the sun with display at 100% brightness I will get the same results as you do.
How is the battery life on everyone's LG V10 VS990? I've got two batteries, a 3000mAH and a 3800mAH battery, but I find the battery life seems poor on either battery, both only lasting about 6-8 hours, sometimes a bit longer if I'm not using my phone a lot that day. Is this just me or everyone? I know a friend of mine with the T-Mobile variant of the V10 gets almost two days of battery life, but I'm not sure how heavy of a user he is.
A non power user can make a battery last forever on this thing. Weekends, I am not tethering or running Pandora, or getting blown up with group texts, so I can unplug at 8 am, and plug it in at 11pm with 30% or more. Week days, with all those things going on I can just get through the workday from 7:30am to 8pm or so and have to plug it in asap.

See, I unplug at 7:30am and can only get to about 3pm before I need to swap batteries if I'm not careful about how much I use my phone. Though I do a lot with my phone, it doesn't sound like as much as you do. I've checked the battery usage and it always says the Screen and Android System are using the most battery, which seems to be normal on most phones, so I know it's not a particular app. These two batteries are also only about a month old.
Don't know, I got mine at release, I do have two batteries, but only carry one unless I travel out of town. I often click to close all apps often throughout the day and use Wifi whenever possible and whenever not tethering to my iPad.
After root, I get roughly 2 days on a full charge. Greenify and freezing apps has increased battery life dramatically

Will have to try greenify again, other than the list in the general forum, did you freeze any other apps?

Nothing out of the ordinary actually. Using Tasker has helped the most, and freezing Amazon when my wife doesn't want to go shopping on my phone lol. Also, switching monitoring apps (I know, not really necessary) from Lookout to ESET.

I'm using greenify, amplify frozen apps and I'm still barely getting 2hrs sot.

Are you monitoring what's eating your battery life?

Yea there are no rogue apps or anything like that, my phone just doesn't get good battery life. Maybe it will get better if we get a custom Rom.

How about charging? I found using anything but the supplied quickcharger, even if I charged to 100%, I got less than good sot.

I haven't tried another charger I'll give that a go.
Verizon location services app eats battery at a crazy rate even when the phone is asleep. Now when phone is sleeping it eats about 1% per hour instead of the nearly 10% it was eating. The stock battery is small to. 2800MaH for a phone this size is not a lot. GPS also eats battery. If you have location on try turning it off. Also if you live on the edge of a cell zone and your phone has to constantly keep talking to the tower it can use a lot of battery. You can test this by putting your phone into airplane mode, if your battery suddenly gets better... then the cell radio is killing you... unfortunately not much you can do for that.
I haven't been using the second battery yet, keeping it around as a replacement because we know what happens after the first year of using them.
