Please state also if you are using any modifications (ex. SetCPU, JuiceDefender, Various Kernels)
I have been able to get 6 hours and 40 minutes of display time before the battery shuts off. I was watching back to back Seinfeld Episodes on Moboplayer.
When I first got my phone I installed some emulators, and started playing Pokemon (never played back when it was popular). I got 4 hours of display on straight one Saturday afternoon while playing Pokemon Sapphire. I was astonished to see that I still had more than 50% battery left when I closed the emulator.

display-on time is the thing i always look for in a device and try to get better each time. if you read the anandtech review of the atrix, they got like 8 hours of web browsing time which was the top dog except the iphone 4 being higher (at 11 hours).
They must have had a magical iPhone 4 then. I have had 2 iPhone 4's and never got the battery life I have with the Atrix. Plus, I never used "background data" on the iPhone but I do on the Atrix. Regardless, I don't use phones for videos or games or anything like that (never did) but I have had my Atrix over 70 hours off a single charge with almost 3 hours of display time if that's any consolation.

My highest was 2 days ago.. 7 hours display time on a little over 24 hours. This was after following the instructions in the battery life thread that have you pull the battery after its charged to 100%, then reinsert it when the missing battery icon displays. I let it charge for an extra 2 hours after doing this and battery calibration now shows 4203mV at 100% charge..my battery life is now amazing.

Are you using any extra applications to save battery? SetCPU? JuiceDefender?
Last night I reached 2 hours of display time with 72% battery left. All wifi web browsing.

I've only had one other android phone, and that was an Atrix. I got about 12 hours from each charge and 2 hours screen time--- compared to when I first got it when I got 20 hours and 3 hours screentime.
It seems like this galaxy note is going to be the same way so far -- although i REALLY want to be bale to get 30hrs and 5hrs screen time. Let's see if I can

Wow...Really? I had the Atrix as well and could get well over 30 hours of charge on it after about a year. The first few months I was seeing between 12 and 20 hours. For me it seemed the longer I had it the better the battery life was.
I'd frequently have it unplugged from 6 AM to 1 AM daily and have 60% left. That may be because all my usage came over a consolidated period of time and the rest of the time was light usage.
My first Android phone was the original Droid...I was able to coax around 24 hours out of it...but I was rooted with a custom ROM and a LV overclock kernel for it.
I'm hoping that I can get at least 14 hours with the Note on the same sort of routine...not so much this week because I don't want to put it down! LOL...my usage has gone from Light/Moderate to HEAVY...I fully expect to be able to hit this after a few more charge cycles (provided my usage goes back to normal...with the screen size I can see myself using this more than the Atrix, so we'll just have to see).
Over 20 hours of use with wifi, Bluetooth, LTE, auto-brightness, web browsing, video playing, texting, emailing and forum posting.
Yea, that's 5h 14m "screen on" time, too. 5.3 inch LTE device with those battery stats - yea, I'm happy. If your expectations are any higher you're delusional. 100% stock.

I want to select 14-16, but in this poll are you implying that at 16 hours I need to hit the charger or turn it off? This is rather subjective because I have a few friends that consider a phone "dead" the minute it hits 30%. Hell even the custom power saving profile is defaulted to kick in at 30%.
16 hours from my workday wake up time is only 11PM. I'd like to think if I decide to go out on the weekends I don't need to worry about charging up unless I've been using the phone like crazy throughout the day.
So we are at 10-12 hours so far in the poll. I hope we can get more input.
It's just $25 for TWO (semi-decent) spare batteries and a charger on Amazon... so no worries!
That said, the first few days with this phone have been rough! I've been using it so damn much that I have to plug it in at just 6 or 7pm when I get home from work. (DOH!) I'm sure my usage will go down a little after the honeymoon period wears off (maybe?). Luckily, though, my spare batteries are set to arrive today... so it's all good!
Ever since I installed cm7 stable, my battery wont get to 4200mv, max is 4191 after 10 hrs on charger. Is this a sign of a bad battery or a bug within the rom? I forced it to show 100% by doing the battery pull while plugged in trick, but I've never come across anyone not reaching full mv when doing this just the not showing 100% search didn't result in anyone with the mv issue just the % issue. Anyone know what maybe be the issue?
The only time you'll see 4200mv is when you're plugged in to the charger and the phone things the battery is full. Battery cells degrade so the battery is pretty much never going to hold 100% of it's capacity.
Honestly 4191mv is pretty good. I'm usually around 4160mv or so after coming off the charger unless I need to do a calibration.
how long does battery last on a blur-based stock non-overclocked rom? 4 days? 5?

I never got even 16 hours out of mine on stock. In fact even on custom roms im barely getting from wake up in the morning to before bed at night. I'd say from 7am to 10pm before I have to plug in. I am on it probably a total of 5 of those hours with 3 games I play, looking at xda about 10 times a day and the occasional call.
Is that 5 hours of screen time? If so, I would personally say that sounds pretty good. I've always got about 24 hours standby and maybe 3 hours screen time on most ROMs.
Mine goes from 6.15 (when I unplug it) to 15.00 draining 20% o so power... it's mostly idle, with occasional whatsapp and email, data always on. Then, from 15 i start using it pretty hard (an hour of wifi, installing/removing things from market, playing max payne and mc3 online, etc) and it can made through the day (in fact, I usually play a lot on bedtime, so i can drain the remaining battery (about 40, 30%) and recrage it overnight. I can't complain, mi milestone (AKA motorola droid) was lucky if it could make it the whole day Considering the massive display, the dual-core and the amount of ram (including the apps running in background) it's petty impressive

Hello
I've bought a One X+ second hand and the guy that sold it to me said it was only 2 months old. I have reasons to believe he was telling lies.
Here are some screenshots from Battery Stats Plus:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/...3-09-26-19-23-55_zps3f36168b.png?t=1380267068
I've only used the GPS for like 3-4 minutes (not using google maps) and Google Maps separately (no GPS) for 3-4 minutes total. I don't know why it shows a big % on battery usage from Maps. Also the battery history from Settings said that I had the GPS on all the time even thought it was turned off.
DS Battery Saver was also turned on (Gentle profile) so it would go to sleep when screen is off.
I generally can barely manage over 24 hours on a single charge (normal usage, 2 hours of on screen time).
When it's sleeping (all communications turned off) i'm usually losing 1% of battery every 45 minutes. Another thing: the last 15% of battery drains in 3-4 minutes when using the phone (browsing, etc).
Is my batery ok ? I think the device's older than 2 months when I bought it because my older Sensation XE could easily manage over 1d6h normal usage even after 1 year.

Your getting simlar battery performance to the rest of us.... My HOX+ needs charging atleast twice a day..
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
I am not really harmed with mine's battery life, ofcourse I would prefer having better battery. But overall I can survive 15 hours with 2 hours onscreen surfing the web /xda
And about 40 minutes hardcore gaming (fifa 14 and other games)
With about 30 minutes call time.
But keep in mind during screen off I have my connections off.
P.S if you can root, you should definetly use "Greenify". It's the perfect battery and usage saver.
My day as you see is short but during the night (around 8pm) when I sit on the phone for 6 hours of intensive gaming and surfing the web, I usually have to make 1 and a half charge

Hmm....well ok. Before buying the phone I read the battery test on gsmarena and was pretty much pleased with their results. But they tested it on android 4.1 whereas I have 4.2.2
Well if you really want to test battery and know if it's bad or not , charge till 100% then remove the plug and keep it sleeping till it runs out of battery. Or check on it after 3 days to see the percentage .
After doing so, surf the web browser till the battery runs out from 100%
Then charge again till 100% and do some hardcore gaming till it runs out.
The final test, charge till 100% then use the phone with your normal daily use.
If you do not like the battery performance you can switch phones.

First of all this is my first thread here
I want to share 2 screen shoots for my battery status really it is surprising
First one expecting time is 111 hours

I think that ?
It notes how much did it use in last 3 hours. During night phone is not used and it goes to deep sleep to save battery life. Lets say you went to bed with 100% and your phone lost 1% during 8 hours of night. It calculates that phone uses 1% every 8 hours and thinks that battery should last 8h*100%=800 hours (33 days) and its crazy long.
But as soon you start using your phone that predictions get to normal. Also first % of battery lasts longest (not sure why, its same on almost every device I had, guess it has something with battery calibration at full) so it shows crazy ammounts of battery life. Mine personal record is somewhere around 900 hours (I wish) but in the end its down to day or two.
Sometimes when I leave the phone charging on 100% and use the phone, it feels like I have charged it to 105% and first it has to be used like 1 hour to show the 99% numbers on my display [emoji2]
Yeah, 100%(100-99%) last very long. I can get one hour screen on by playing video with it or 20 minutes screen on with browsing. Of course u have to charge the phone for 10-20 minutes more when it just reach 100%.

Your explination is right after 7 month of using I am thinking in begining that the battery will last all of these hours but after I used it it become less for two days
Two days for me is very good comparing with other phone like samsung and apple
G2 idles like a beast, this looks normal
Meh, nothing special
P.S.
That is like after 9 months of usage of the phone

That is becausr our battety is divided into cells ranging from 4 to 6, so the first 2 cells are bigger then remaining so they hold more power that why drain looks slow

Been using this 6000mah battery and does hold up
Perks:
Doesn't make the phone case bulky,
Lots of SOT, I got like 7 to 8 hours on a charge.
Doesn't get hot.
Still charges fast.
The only downside I have to it is that while it stays on 100percent for like 3 hours of having Bluetooth and music running with some moderate usage, once it drops to 99 percent it seems to drop more normally.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
The standard battery does this too.
I never got 7 to 8 hours sot use. I have greenify and amplify and maybe got 3 hours use. I'm also a very heavy user.

No, I mean the 100% behaviour, you mention.

can you post some actual battery usage screenshots? thank you
arrived yesterday
It seems they are offering discounts on amazon. I have randomly selected this battery on Amazon before any research and felt relieved to find this review lol.
Hey guys.
Just received my battery as well. Did a full charge and battery calibration and started my first test as of last night. I'll share my results with screenshots soon but I'm going to get 8+ hours SoT after initial charging. This is impressive! I was getting between 2:30-4:30 SoT on official battery before.
Soo..
This is a 20 hour run from 100% to 8%
It includes a night sleep and lots of "on screen", meaning I wasn't actively using the phone for the whole time. What I've done are:
Some whatsapp chats, light Web browsing
Leaving an 'active' app running on the screen, for instance forex or livescore which are auto refreshing all the time so it's quote battery consuming, using the radio all the time.
80 minutes of YouTube videos @720p (most battery consuming item)
45 minutes of video watching @1080P
45 minutes of the game fallout shelter running on screen (I wasn't actively playing but I let the game run)
8 mail accounts (4 of them on Manuel update every 3 minutes and 4 of them at push)
Whatsapp Web connected all the time, been chatting whole day over my pc
3g on all the time. GPS and WiFi off all the time
Screen @50% brightness
What do you think of th result? It's more then double I was getting with my official battery
I am also getting more than double of what I was getting with my official battery. I am loving this battery so far.

How did you do a battery calibration? Also, is there a way to do a battery calibration without root? My company uses Good and it only works on non-rooted phones
Well, I'm no expert on this topic so I just used one of those battery calibration apps which only delete that battery. Bin file.
I'm getting some weird charging behavior that the battery stucking at 99% from time to time. But whenever it's fully charged, it's a beast. It stays at 100% for 40 45 minutes with screen on time.
You can see these two screenshots of the same full charge. Those are under 70% brightness, lots of browsing and ebook reading under sun. 3g on all the time. It's sick.
impressive battery
Try Mugen. https://mugen.co/mugen-power-6200mah-extended-battery-for-lg-g3-with-battery-door.html
You can easily stand over 50% in 6 hours of high-moderated use.

There shouldn't be any problem with customs, it's cheap enough.
I cannot remember well but I guess it was a seller from ebay so it should be Paypal.
