I wanted to see just how good smart actions work over night, so I charged it to 100% (dropping to 99% immediately) and I have battery extender used to turn off basically everything, no data, wifi, sync, bluetooth after a couple minutes of inactivity and screen off. At 10:22pm power was pulled and phone at 99%. At 7am this morning it was sitting at 95%. Thats pretty damn good! Granted, everything was off, but who needs them on while you are a sleep?
How long have you had the RAZR? I did generally the same thing my first night with it, and the next morning I had 5%

Release day,...Nov 11th. 95% over night?!? Thats insane! Your sure everything is set to off? My Battery Extender Triggers: Display off, no movement, timeframe is made as an all day event, Actions: GPS off, Background sync disabled, cell data disabled, and, bluetooth was on, but will change that.

Somehow, some way, you are doing it wrong...
The RAZR's battery in the first few days of life is full on crazy. Don't even start thinking about measuring your battery usage until a week in with full charge and discharge cycles. Do your best to kill it everyday and make sure you charge it full. You will see over time that it becomes harder and harder to kill.

Agreed. You can't judge any phone's battery within the first week, let alone the first day. After its initial startup, it takes a few days for everything to settle in and play well together. My first day of battery usage was NASTY, but since then (got it exactly a week ago) it has really been amazing!

if there's no data, no sync, then of course you'll get great battery life...
You would think but my Thunderbolt would still lose 10% over night.
I've had my RAZR for 2.5 weeks, and made sure to fully drain and charge it each time. I still cannot get over 10 hours of life with little to no use during the day. (couple texts, no calls, fb at lunch break, check e-mail personal and corporate a few times an hour) I've tried the Battery Extender smart actions, lowered brightness to lowest setting, disabled 4G, set dark background, set auto-end tasks after 2 min, and ran battery callibrator.
Meanwhile, my coworkers with the same phone are getting 21 hours on their phones with moderate use including several phone calls and constant texting.
Not sure what I can do from here to get better battery life.
Heres a screen shot of my battery usage so far. Sitting at 80% right now.

use juicedefender beta, it has its own setcpu, so set screen sleep to 300mhzmin max300mhz, disable data donnection + change to 2g mode when screen is off, auto data connection on to 3g for apps you want to choose, e.g. browser, online radio. then turn off 3g data, switch back to 2g on screen sleep.
my battery drains 1 - 2 % overnight when im sleeping (9hours)
i only wish i didnt undersetimate juicedefender, after finally playing around wiht it, i must say every android user must have juicedefender, else your not getting the most out of ur battery, if u want EVEN more, install advancted task killer pro (and kill the trouble some apps, make sure not to kill the ones that constantly restart, it will actually drain ur battery since it gets killed, then starts, then kills)
I'm getting about 11 hours of battery. And its been 3 days. Still calibrating it tho, will keeep u posted.
I want to conduct a little tiny experiment. I want to see if having "In Pocket Detection" enabled under settings ---> display causes this horrible battery drain.
So what you can do is reply back with with a little data. I don't want a full post,just a few words.
The first word will be yes or no. Yes meaning the setting is enabled on your phone, no meaning its disabled.
Next, indicate good or bad. Good meaning YOU think battery life on your razr is acceptable, bad unacceptable.
Next, enter a number in hours on average your phone lasts on a full charge. If you don't know leave it blank. If you entered a number then post with that if you are a light, moderate or heavy user.
Last, put down "4G" if you leave yours on, "3G" if you turn off 4G, and "hybrid" if you go back and forth.
I'll do mine as a template. I'll compile the data if there is enough on a spreadsheet and see if that pocket detection is an issue.
No - Good - 16 - Moderate - 3g

I don't heavily use my phone, maybe medium usage. However, I usually get over 20 hours of battery life every day, if I don't charge when I hit 20%.

Is this... Normal, or is this... Accurate? I haven't timed the actual hours, only went on the time given by the battery usage app. I -have- calibrated the battery correctly after flashing to CM7.1 nightly (not after each flash, just the first flash).
My old phone (3GS) had about 6-7 hours less, I'm very impressed.
I'm experiencing similar battery life ever since installing Cognition + Entropy and using battery calibration. The battery died fairly quick when stock though.

I admit my usage is pretty light, but 14h to 60% is poor for my usage patterns.
However there seems to be a lot of awake/screen-on time for you...
As to battery calibration - doesn't do anything on our phones except possibly make the fuel gauge COMPLETELY wack out, triggering the fuel_alert wakelock bug. (next kernel will fix that bug though - not the root cause of the fuel gauge wacking out but at least the perma-wakelock it causes.)
I'm stock and getting 18 hours of battery, 5.5 hours of screen on time. This its with live wallpapers, Facebook widgets, etc.

I'm on CM7.1 nightlies. They're amazing. I have tasker running, turnning off wifi and bluetooth and 3G/HSPA+ when not in use. But seeing that people are getting similar or better battery usage is crazy. I can't believe it to be honest. When my 3GS was brand new it didn't get close to this.
Very impressed overall.
I'm lucky to get 2 hours of screen time...

2hr phone call, 5 hours of local mp3 and another 2 of Pandora on 3G, and some gaming and I'm at 41%. My N1 with CM7 would have died long ago.
i am getting horrible battery life if the average is 14 hours of moderate use... eitehr that or i am a heavy user and dont realize it
Hi, I'm new to XDA...
I have the i777.
How can so many hours of battery life be achieved? I have stock everything. Does CM7 really make the batter life last much longer?
I was getting terrible battery life using the stock ATT build but since switching to CM7 its been a lot better. Sitting at 13 hrs with 26% left. I am trying to figure out why the Android system for me seems to run really high (70% or more). I have sync turned off, no GPS or BT and only use Wifi when needed. I will say that looking at CPU Spy since moving to CM7 my phone is getting into more Deep Sleep which is good. I notice that Google Maps runs a lot as well as the NFC service. Its confusing because NFC isn't even enabled on the phone? Any ideas to lower Android OS would be appreciated.

Those are the correct stats.
One of the main contributions CM7 has to battery life is plain and simple debloating.
For those that have unexplained drain issues, the following technique is useful:
Install CPUSpy
Get ADB up and running on your PC - for Windows users, Droid Explorer is usually the quickest route
Charge your phone, take it off the charger, reboot (this resets all stats)
Reset CPU timers in CPUSpy (menu->reset timers) - they're often bogus on boot
Let the phone sit for a few hours
Check CPUSpy for deep sleep percentages - when a phone is idle in moderate signal, it should usually be 90-95%. On wifi you can potentially hit 96-97%.
If the deep sleep percentage is very low, collect data using ADB:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/wakelocks > wakelocks.txt
Post wakelocks.txt here for analysis.
I got JuiceDefenderUlt and I actually think it's well worth the $. I used it heavily today during for about 5 hours and it didn't dip below 80%, very suprising when bfore JDU it would be at 50-60%. I think I can probably go 2 days without a charge and it might survive.
Everyone 's definition of "medium" or "high" usage is different. Need to post some display numbers.
I think my best one was 95% battery to below 5%, 4 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time, 16 hours on battery.

Let's get some info going on battery life.
I bump charged 3 times this morning so its time to put this bad boy to the test.
I have auto brightness off. WiFi 4g Bluetooth and GPS on.
Update 1
It's been just over 5 hours and I'm sitting at 74%. Moderate usage. Websurfing facebook one 20 min phone call. Not bad at all. Been on 4g most of the time
Update 2
my day is over, im home battery is at 17% and I used the phone quite a bit. Had to navigate for about 15 min in there. Used 4g most of the time, tho there was about 4 hours of Wifi usage in there too.
so that is about 12 hours of usage here. I bumped charged 3 times as i said. I dont think the "small" battery is an issue at all!
Sent from my HTC Rezound using XDA App
so far, i'm getting the same as my incredible haha..i don't have 4g here so, i'm on wifi all day
2 hours into it, 81%..that's NOT bump charging either.
2 horus into my 1500mah inc, i'd be at like 75%. so i'd say SO FAR she's doing well..
this is also wtih 76% display, using it for 48 minutes outta those 2 hours. not bad!! and she's idling at a cool 24.4 degrees C here...battery left widget is a good widget
I'm seeing the same as the dinc too. Battery was halfway down at 4 hours of running time. That is with 4G enabled, WiFi off, BT off, GPS on. Screen Brightness on medium. It seems to be on pace to last 8-9 hours. I did stream some Pandora and visited some websites. Also, service in my building is spotty so my phone will search for a signal and switches between 3G and 4G all day. The battery shouldn't be a problem on this phone with normal use.
10 hours, 50 minutes on battery so far:
45%.
not bad! this isn't 4g though, this is all 3g and wifi..pretty much mainly wifi. display 68% with it being time on for 1 hour and 48 minutes.
this things pretty much gettign the same battery life as my inc, so i'm happy with that. a 14-15 hour day is what i was expecting and will be easily done i think!
Weeeeeee forty or so straight minutes of use..texts, browsing, music listening...just trying to kill the battery to recalibrate battery left widget...lol gotta love the drop. I just hit ten percent now, at like 13 hours off. Awesome

What are the "Power" settings for your guys? Performance, Normal, or Economy? The phone comes out of the box in Performance mode, but I toggled it to Normal which in turn turned off my sync (how that is normal I have no clue) and who knows what else.

but i think it's a good idea like if you're out and you wanna quickly change power modes.
It is good if you have like 25% left and need a quick way to prolong the battery life. I think it is a good idea because not everyone is an expert on this stuff.
agreed; i'm also interested in checking out that low power sleep mode..seems like a good idea for people who leave it unplugged overnight...just have it turn on a few minutes before your alarm clokc and bam!
id like to see a thread in regards to how long it lasted using constant 4G data with the screen on the whole time.
Constant 4G data would hit a data cap before the battery died I bet.

not anymore than any other phone. I came from the dorid charge, and we talked about the same thing. and before that I was using the Dinc, and again, we talked about the same thing.
Pretty sure we need to start expecting that screens use more power than the rest of the phone.
The same is true on a laptop.
The poster above me is suggesting a 'stress test' of the battery by turning on all its high power usage abilities and then seeing how long it will last. 1 hour, 2 hours.. I did this on the droid charge and it only last 1 hr 45 min
I thought I posted in this thread. I set my settings to Normal instead of Performance. I haven't noticed any lag or any issues. I did notice it turned off LTE, set the WiFi settings back to 15 minute sleep, etc. So I changed those settings to my normal always on, keep the screen brightness low, and have seen ~1/3 better battery life with the same 'play and experiment' usage. Not exactly scientific, but I feel as though I have used it equally on both settings.
First full day of use and I got about 8 hours of battery life. (Heavy Usage) I work in a warehouse alone so I'm always playing music and use my Rezound as an mp3 player.
About 6 total hours of music playback, some faceboook every break or lunch, some twitter and lots of text messaging about 100 txts and about a 15min convo within the 8 hours. (What really killed my battery was the music playback)
Everything was on gps, 4g, auto brightness, auto sync etc.
8hr Shift started with full battery, shift ended with dead phone. Gets the day by, but for those that do not use over 6 hours of music playback, I'm sure you will see about 15hours+ on your device.

Just got the standard Rezound battery for my Thunderbolt 21.80 after discount. I will report usage in a few days after some battery calibration and full charges and discharges. So you can compare this battery on Rezound with a rooted thunderbolt with custom kernel.
On battery 4 hours 50 minutes with the settings I posted above. Normal usage, on 3G/4G 74% remaining.
After 8 hours, 5 of those on 4G while the rest on Wi-Fi. 3 Push email accounts, some Facebook, and web browsing. I'm still at 80% battery life.
Hell I don't know what they did to this phone but I might just return my extended battery as I don't think I'll ever need it based on my light/moderate use throughout the day. Can't wait to see what a debloat/kernel would do to this phone. My Bionic which I had before with a higher capacity battery would be sitting around 40% by now.
Hi guys! It's been a long time since I posted on the TFP forums.
Recently I noticed that the battery life of my TFP is not as good as I wished. DON'T misunderstand. I think that the battery life is pretty good while using it. Though I never measured it, I think I get at least 5-6 hrs (may be more) when I use it. BUT, the standby time is low and that is what bothers me. I get 2 to 2.5 days of standby time. So, if I charge it to 100% today and leave it aside, it will get discharged completely in about 2.5 days. But my iPod touch gets discharged in may be a week, if I don't use it often and I heard that the case is similar with the iPad (it too gets about a week's worth of standby time).
I really want to extend my TFP's standby battery life. It is a huge disappointment when I find out on Monday morning that my TFP is discharged since the battery drained completely over the weekend. My Droid Incredible 2 does a better job by idling the processor at the lowest freq. (245 MHz) when screen is off. And this translates to great standby time. Does the TFP not do that? Can I install an app that can do this for me?
Other issue is with WiFi hogging the battery as shown in the pictures below? Can I fix this? These are my 2 queries with regard to battery life.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried changing your wifi setting to disconnect wifi during sleep (standby)? That seemed to help mine. My wifi is a battery hog too.
Go to settings > Asus Customized setting > (bottom) Disconnect Network During Sleep
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
And... go to accounts%sync and turn off background data traffic...
If you are not using your prime u should turn off wifi and gps...
....and to add to all that above, why not actually turn it off when not in use.
I turn mine off when not in use because I know one thing for sure - Batteries die out faster the more charge/discharge cycles they go through.
Some tips to improve battery life span & keep them healthy -
Never let battery discharge below 4-5%
Never do charging until level drops to 5%.
When leaving the tablet unused for a couple of days/weeks, do a full charge before leaving it.
Do not keep the battery in continuous charge for more than 8 hours.
Hope this will help you in long run.

The idea of turning the tablet off is not what I want to do. I may be okay to do that on a weekend, but during the week I would like to have it on as I want to he able to use it immediately without waiting for it to turn on. Moreover, since competing devices and even my phone can manage to get better standby time, I am trying to improve its standby time.
I will try the profile manager I have on my phone. Also, I will try a CPU app that will put my TFP in the lowest MHz possible. Any suggestions for a good CPU app for this?

Thank you. This may help me a lot! It is interesting that even after choosing "disconnect network during sleep" the network doesn't disconnect immediately. Also, it still uses a lot of battery. Hopefully this will help.
the answers you seek are in general section. I already posted it up in the thread called .21 wifi battery drain. all my recent posts in that thread details what you can do and what's going on in your tablet. always remwber though, wifi will always report being the biggest battery drainer. the battery usage reporting in prime is flawed. you meed to use an app called Better Battery Stats. its free and here in xda. check out that other thread I mentioned. it has a bunch of things you can do n look for.
Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.
On wifi with little to no voice signal that cuts out frequently, I might get seven hours of screen on time today D:

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

An update, I did not want to drain fully to 0 but I got six hours and forty minutes of screen time yesterday and I think I could have hit seven if I drained fully.

Super idea ) i've done that today. All seemed good. 2,5 % awake is fine
Today is Wednesday, I last charged Monday and I'm only at 50%. This phone is crazy good with the battery.
What's your best battery live on this phone?

Post screen shots. If the phones just sitting there that doesn't really count

There probably won't be too much difference between everyone's best times besides the people who don't use their phones. We all have the same phone with the same battery and most ROMs don't really affect battery life.

There are already quite a few screen shots, as the other poster indicated they are all conclusive at the most point. I believe the integrated LTE functionally helped alot. With WiMAX we had a seperate chip which made battery life poor. I get an average of day and a half before recharging and that's using majority of WiFi, BT on all the time but no LTE, many calls etc and screen on 3/4 brightness. That may change once LTE is rolled out and on for most in my opinion but that's when the real tests will be important but for now, all good with heavy usage and that seems to be consistent with everyone else. I am running Fresh 1.0 but that was to address links and multitasking in general.

Yesterday, I had many, many emails and texts, watched Thor (Netflix, 3G), took a 2 minute video of my Wife in her garden, a few pictures, listed to Google Music (3G) for about 30 minutes, a half dozen short phonecalls, and went to bed just under 18 hours @ 35%.
That was pretty acceptable to me, especially with the Netfix vid, which ate up a chunk of the battery.
I'm rooted stock.
Barley using the phone, 15 hours. It had actually slept while off.
Using it, 9 & 1/2 hours & this was also light usage. Didn't have any services syncing aside from mail & I did do a lot of browing & some WiFi.
P.S.
Normally it's all over the place. From 5-8 hours avg. A roll of the dice every time I unplug.
Moderate usage I get a 6%battery drop per hour. Heavy usage 10%. Using Easy Battery Saver, screen is usually 25% brightness, wifi, smartsync.

About 2 and a half days (almost all weekend) with light usage. I don't even check anymore - I have moderate use, and even have an app that randomly changes my wallpaper every 30 minutes, and I still make it to the end of the day with over 30% before I charge it for the night.

Wallpaper Changer from the play store. I have it set to my wallpaper folder, so it randomly cycles through some 700 wallpapers. It's pretty neat.
The longest I've gotten is 58 hours with 20% battery left. I think only had around 2.5 hours of screen time though. mainly texts and fb messages. Nothing too straining on the battery
The only thing(other than physical screen-on usage) that effects battery life are the radios.
Turn them off when not using the phone makes it burn the battery at about 1% every 2-3 hours.
Turn on the radio when you need to use it.
This goes for turning off LTE if you don't have LTE, turning off bluetooth, NFC, and toggling 3g and wifi as needed.
Huge difference.
A lot of people talk about live wallpapers. They make NO difference in battery usage.
Turn them on.
.
I get like, 8 hours max of heavy usage (CS Portable/Emulators) because Maps is on for some reason after I Force Kill it.
I don't know why it does that, but sparse usage usually gets me a day at max.
I know this doesn't count cause it was sitting and in airplane mode. I was on a trip in the Bahamas for a week so no service.
I could have lasted for at least 10 days. If only we had batteries that lasted that long with the radio on!
It just shows how well this phone sleeps!

On a full charge.. 28 - 32 hours with moderate use. Active sync exchange and Gmail sync on too. So much better than my OG EVO and its 12 hours if im lucky, and that one was rooted with turning the processor down.
With normal use(a few emails, a few dozen texts, maybe a short phone call, 30 minutes web browsing) I get about 10-12 hours on a charge.
With light use(few texts, read an email or two) I'll get 14-16 hours.
With heavier use (web browse an hour, play Temple Run for 30 minutes, 40-50 texts, 30-40 minutes of phone calls, I'll get 5-6 hours.
This phone's battery life is quite terrible. I disabled everything that I can without turning it into a 2007 Motorola flip phone.
I bought this on Ebay for $25 to help: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07Y08C1271
I've only had the phone for a week but my best time has been about 10 hours on Tuesday with what is moderate useage for me... not much better than my GNEX
Check this out. I had my phone plugged in at work, and I unplugged it when I left. I just grabbed it to do some surfing, and my battery is still showing 100% after 4 hours. I know it's been at idle, but I would have expected some drop of the battery.
Is this normal? Don't get me wrong; I'm definitely not complaining, just curious that's all. My last 4 Android phones never held the battery this good at idle.
