How good is your battery?

The one x was returned due to how poor the battery life is, I got the One XL with the snapdragon S4 and the results were night and day. The phone has much more stamina.

Here is a photo showing my phone lasting 2 and a half days with mild to slightly moderate usage. (about an hour of gaming, 2 hours of phone calls, 30 or so sms's.) My 4g was very rarely on, as it was connected to wifi most of the time.

Screen on time is below.

So guys how is your battery life

On heavy Usage, My Nexus S on heavy usage tops out at about 7 hours.

The way I usually use it moderately and killing apps whenever possible along with having it off when not in use, it will range anywhere from 12-19 hours.

This is the best I once managed.

My data connection was always on with weather widget set to update every hour. My main usage was lots and lots of texting on whatsapp and sms with 25% brightness and strong haptic feedback. I forgot to take other screen shots to see the screen on time probably wont be that good due to the enormous standy time given. I'll post about some really heavy usage day and how it fares then.

Hmmm I thought the sensation was not much better than the desire hd for battery life, it seems i may have been mistaken.

I think my Captivate needs a new battery. It can't go a day of moderate use without hitting less than 10%. Even on standby it can't last past 2 days.

I have an extended battery for my Xperia Play and it's actually pretty good. With just moderate use, it can last over a week without dropping below 50%. With heavy gaming, it can last about 15 hoursSoulreavercross

An xperia play with extended battery must be the biggest brick ever. :P

I have an LTE Nexus with the extended battery. And I get 10 hours at best. Typically, I get 6-8. Battery life sucks, but I was also running Jelly Bean the day it was announced, so I say it's a fair trade off.

LTE sucks I'll not use it even if I could dont know whats the fuss in wanting that much speed from a phone.

I tried my phone with 3g/lte off, and only wifi for getting stuff of market place.. ( i may have used 3g for about 15-20 minutes. About 2 hours worth of phone calls, 2.5 hours of screen time and about an hour of gaming i got 3 and a half days of usage before requiring a charge at 9%. ill post my screen shots later today.

[QUOTE="Soulreavercross"][QUOTE="Revixe06"]with a battery saver (like juice defender), the regular 1500mAh battery should last a little under half the time frame i mentioned, because the extended battery I have is 3500mAhimprezawrx500

This is what I managed in a day of heavy usage. I just cant seem to get to the 4 hour mark it seems.

But I have to say my standy time is just too good. I slept for 6 hours with 4% battery and then let it snooze for 40 minutes with 10 minute intervals. It did not turn off heck I even manged to read my msgs before it turned off when I woke up. :o

wow that's pretty bad, about 14 hours on battery and still at 72% after some internet, txts, calls and maybe 30 mins of gaming on my sensation. I'm yet to find a way to kill it in a day, even Alpine replay running gps and playing music all day failed to kill it. imprezawrx500

[QUOTE="mystic_knight"] Thats really impressive, running the gps on my phone will probably kill it in 4 hours or less.mystic_knight

[QUOTE="mystic_knight"][QUOTE="Gambler_3"]So will his phone....GPS being on in settings doesnt mean it is actually being used by anything.

[QUOTE="mystic_knight"] I suspect the same, but i am assuming impreza knows what he is talking about. Its nice to give the benefit of the doubt.mystic_knight

Here's what I managed with regular use on my phone (Galaxy Note):

And from my tablet (Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi):

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

Both with all the regular settings on (WiFi, GPS, etc).

Well whatever that application is it sure isnt anything like GPS navigation, even a razr maxx would barely cut it for 7 hours.

I didnt know the note had such good battery life... i can't imagine how you felt when you had the battery monitoring app :Pmystic_knight

[QUOTE="imprezawrx500"] or gps navigation is just programmed badly? I didn't use the screen much which is the biggest battery killer. imprezawrx500

Not great. My HTC Sensation is usually dead before the end of the day with moderate usage. On the lookout for an alternative third-party battery at the moment.

It was absolutely appalling before the ICS update. It would sit in my desk drawer at work not being used with the Wifi and 3G turned off, and by the time I left work it would be under 50%.
