I can't see how the battery life can be worse than the One X (I guess radio connection to a poor sprint network could effect it), but the verge said they had a tough time making it through the day.
Normally it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but sice we can't replace this battery I am a little worried.
Still waiting for the main tech sites to give reviews with battery tests.
dont listen to reviewers on websites about battery. they are morons who use the phone for 2 days with brightness all the way up. bluetooth on, wireless on, 3g on, and gps on and with no sleep timer on the screen.
This was an interesting review, I wonder why his pictures turned out like garbage when all the other reviews have great pictures, it's almost like there is a giant fingerprint on the lens or something. Either way, not that good of a review. I hope the battery life is better than stated.

I didn't always listen to reviewers about battery life, but they were spot on about the Evo 3D. When I bought it I thought "they don't know what they are talking about'". Turns out I wanted the new phone to be good so badly I ignored the truth.

I hope the battery life is better on this phone. That has to be the number 1 complaint of users from the beginning of smartphones. I hope HTC & Sprint are smart enough to make that a priority.

A quote from SlashGear's review of the EVO 4g LTE (http://www.slashgear.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-review-11227839/):
"The battery life here is pretty excellent, just like the HTC One X on AT&T and the HTC One S on T-Mobile, you’ve got the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 backing your whole system up with its ability to stay strong without draining the life out of your day via the battery. Count on this device to last you what it’s lasted us, that being 10+ hours a pop with heavy use, no problem. If you’re the type of person who only uses a device lightly during the day, don’t worry about charging it up except at night when you head to bed – always a good practice anyway."
Every review will hold differently, it's all subjective to how much they are running the phone, what their expectations are, and many other factors.
I don't expect battery life to be great but I do expect it to be on par with the Evo 3D..I'm not worried but I'm in my truck the whole day for work and don't really care much either..My battery never sees anything below 70% lol.
I stare at one of these bad boys all day.

lol the most interested man in the world hahah
But yeah the review said he listen to the radio tru the network so thats a big drain right there when I stream music tru the evo for one hour battery is at 15% so means nothing really still amaze he listen to 40 mins and still got 8 hrs thats a big for me.
every site have their own way to review device..All of them post different thing about battery life so dont listen to them..Just listen to your xda fellow member when device available on sprint..
Yeah battery life is not a concern to me because I know that xda will fix any battery life problems REAL quick. Come one guys, my EVO 4G got some of the worst battery life imaginable and then I join XDA and manage to achieve 64 hours before I need to charge my phone (average maybe 40 - 50). No concerns here.
I'm not worried about it at all. The Evo 3d had better battery life than the 4g, and I'm expecting the Evo LTE to have slightly better battery life than the 3d. I would not trust most of the Evo LTE reviews on battery because they're not spending very much time with the device, and they're probably not using settings that would conserve battery life.

But considering all the things the reviewer did, I'm a little surprised:
The One X has great battery life, so the fact that the Evo has an even larger 2,000mAh battery than its sibling (and no LTE to worry about) gave me great hope for its longevity. Unfortunately, I found that even getting a full day from the Evo took some finesse. Consider: I unplugged the phone at 4:15am, used it a bit on the way to the airport, turned it off on the plane until about 9, then streamed music through Rdio for about 40 minutes and did some browsing and tweeting from the device, with brightness at about 40 percent. By noon, I was down to 25 percent battery. We're running our official test now for more comparable results, but though in practice you should be able to get a full day's use from the phone with some battery TLC (and a lower brightness setting), I'm still a little underwhelmed with its performance.

First off its cdma which uses more battery then gsm least from my understanding and sounds like he was in some areas with no signal and all cdma phones drain hard when you have low to no signal also maybe what the app he was using for music had a mem leak or something reviews are diff everywhere like everyone said who's gonna have 3g GPS Bluetooth and GPS and WiFi on all day no one lol
Android central is still doing their review so far they say they are impressed FYI

I bought myself and my wife a TB on launch day (yes I love being a guinea pig), and there are no 4G covered areas anywhere near here (all 3G). Both phones were properly charged after being activated and before being tested. My own phone was unplugged yesterday morning when I arrived at work at around 7:30 am and it finally died at midnight with light to moderate use (some phone calls, texting, web surfing, downloading apps, one hour of listening to music with double twist app and jogging with cardio trainer app)., Today my phone has been unplugged for five and a half hours and it's down to 80%. My wife is getting about the same battery life from her TB.
We knew from earlier reports that this phone lasted only about four hours running 4G LTE, and even WiMax running on Evo gave it terrible battery life, so I'm not entirely surprised that there are are still problems with this phone regarding battery life and 4G. I am almost relieved that I don't live in an area that has 4G at the moment.
Just to clear the air, I'm hoping that other TB owners who do not live in a 4G area will share their experiences with battery life so we know that this is mainly a 4G issue and not entirely a TB issue, and hopefully if that is the case, we can get a push for a 4G toggle until this issue is resolved.
Same here
I am getting better battery life out of this phone than I was on my Eris on GSB 2.0. I am very surprised. I use WiFi at home and that seems to really help but out in 3g....it really is quite good. I haven't had it in a 4g area so I can't compare but I have no complaints.
Even in a 4G area you can turn off LTE and get better battery life. I made a shortcut to the phone setting using anycut.apk to make a short cut to phone info. Got this from another thread on the forum. Works great.
My battery lasted 12 hours yesterday with what I would consider heavy use. An hour of gaming, 2 hours of pandora, about an hour of voice calls and checking facebook throughout the day. I'm very pleased with battery life. I was on wifi most of that time though and there is no 4g in my area.

Not very sure how to do that..can you explain how i can do this ..Thanks
Happy with battery life so far
So far my experience has been quite favorable. I have been using my phone quite a bit, navigator, text, browsing, games, fm radio (we really like that) and frankly the gloom and doom reports fortunately haven't come true for me. I am easily seeing 9+ hours.
I have had a couple of nasty freeze-ups while on the phone. The first one sent the phone on its own reboot, the second required the battery to be pulled (good night that is a challenge) since the screen and the buttons became unresponsive. I will have to watch that - a phone has to work as a phone or well, it is a mini tablet instead of a phone.
first full charge last night, off the charging this morning, after 10 hours of uptime unplugged, which included a few phone calls, facebooking, playing around for about 30-45 mins on games, i was still at 81%.
This is far better battery life than my evo ever was(until i rooted it and had CM7, was getting 3 days a charge then.) And if it says anything, it isn't rooted yet(working on that now) so I am very happy and impressed with the phone so far...
and as for a previous post. I was unaware that you could turn off 4G/LTE at all. My understanding was it was always on no matter what.
Agreed. When the TB is not switching from 3g to 4g. Battery is good

He is running a custom rom that likely dramatically governs the processor and other power factors. It was the primary reason I rooted my Incredible as the custom kernel I got had me go from 10% at the end of a 16 hr day in standby to about 80% remaining. So I could totally see 3days of light to no use from the EVO with a custom ROM.

yeah that is pretty much it.
CM7 is very very light, and also had SetCPU to down clock the processor to 245Mhz anytime the screen was off. It was also on the stock battery too. I have no idea what I could have gotten with an extended battery. That 3 days wasn't practical, but I made it happen non the less to shove it in a friend of mines face who kept his iPhone 4. I had an iPhone 4 and left it for the Evo, and he got mad about it.

if you look at the bottom you can see the screen was very seldom on, I always had wifi off, gps off, and 4G off. Phone was still at like 9% i think to when I took that screen shot. I could have gone longer but my phone is my alarm clock and I had to be up the next morning and needed to go to bed. Stupid jobs and having to work. haha.
After a couple of charge cycles I must say that I am very satisfied with the battery life on my Thunderbolt. I was at work the other day for 12 hours and the phone was at 35 percent when I left.
I agree. The Evo has terrible battery life out of the box but with CM7 and proper tweaks for it's settings, you can get pretty good battery life, even using a stock battery.
Considering that the battery for TB is a lot better out of the box than the Evo, at least for those in non-4G areas, I can only imagine how great it will be running CM7

the only thing that bothers me about it, and someone please chime in if I have no idea what I am talking about, is after pulling up quadrant and just looking at the info for my system, it showed my processor on my TB as running at 245Mhz at that moment, and capable of running at 1024Mhz.
I could be wrong but I thought the evo ran at 998Mhz right out the box and didn't change clock speeds.
So if this is the reason why battery life has been so much better out of the box, hopefully we can still make a gigantic improvement.
I currently have a droid charge. It has a vastly superior screen compared to the thunderbolt, and a better gpu. However on standby, it destroys it's battery. I'm talking around 10% per hour just on standby. I was wondering what standby was like on your phones. Htc has been pretty good about this in the past and I may jump ship to the thunderbolt just for the ability for my phone to be there after a day of doing nothing. Thanks in advance.

It depends on several factors in my experience. Network coverage: are you on 3g or 4g? If 4G, how many apps are using it? If 3G, how weak is the signal? System settings: does the kernel throttle down the CPU with screen off?
I've had respectable experience with 3 HTC's recently; the dInc, dInc2, and the Tbolt. In my opinion, the dInc2 is what EVERY HTC should aspire to be. Completely lag-free, never a force-close, beautiful, biright, and color-honest screen, power to run any app, and better than useful battery life. I'm talking standby measured in days and talk time upwards of 6 hours or better. The Tbolt seems to dump about 5% to 6% per hour standby on LTE. Half that on CDMA. You might also want to theme everything on your phone as dark as possible. white text on black if you can find it. That screen will actually eat more power to produce the same brightness of white as a Super LCD. However, to produce the same brightness of red, it will consume around half the power. I've also noticed on my Tbolt that the Idle Process is eating a lot more power than i think it should and I'm not sure what to do about that... like around a third of the battery over 10 hours.
Thanks, I should clarify. This is actually happening on 3g with a strong signal. I rarely use 4g at all actually. I use an app that sets the phone to conservative cpu usage. I'm using juice defender and I'm hoping that will make a difference.
Really it all depends on a combination of what rom/kernel/radio your using, your coverage and your settings. Turn off assisted dialing, tell HTC, and phone finder as they tend to eat up alot of juice in standby. In install everything you don't use with titanium backup pro, including backup assistant, tell HTC, stocks, news etc... Turn all your sync acts to 4 hours or more, use auto brightness for screen brightness. Etc...

wow..... That's insane.... If you don't need the phone at night, I'd kill the radio and let it sit over night. It should use next to no power then. If it is, there's something quirky in the ROM or apps.
Yeah, compared to all the other android phones I've ever used, on the Droid Charge the os battery usage is pretty high. I don't really keep anything running in the background and even try to go with dark wallpapers seeing how it's super amoled+. No dice, it just sits in my pocket and dies. When I plot my batter use, it looks like I was talking on the phone. I find it kind of absurd that some phones allow you to talk on them for almost the same amount of time I can be on standby with this one. How long can the Thunderbolt last on standby. What are you guys averaging per hour on idle in terms of battery usage.
I usually go from 100%->84% overnight which is around 7 hours, so I'm losing ~2.3% per hour.
I keep 4G and background sync enabled. Currently running CM7 1.4 with Tiamat 1.0.4 undervolted.
Wow. I burn almost 10% per hour on standby with an undervolted conservatively governed phone on 3g. I'm really considering jumping ship. I'm willing to have an inferior screen and gpu if I can just have a phone that can last a day in my pocket.
i get around 10-15% drain per hour myself when my Thunderbolt isn't in use(even if i turn off mobile data and/or use something like juice defender).
heck, and just watching 1 movie on this thing kills like 50-60% of the battery.
i say phones just suck!(battery)

This is from last night, heavy use through out the day. You need to check your settings or change your rom/kernel/radio you should not be getting that kind of drainage.

Gingeritis 3d beta 6, Chingys new radio leak and ziggys kernel (kernel comes with beta 6). No Oc or any tinkering with kernel, just settings in the phone for as little batt drain as possible. 3g and wifi when its available. I only use 4g if I need to dl something big like a rom and I don't have wifi available.

Well, I ordered my Thunderbolt today. I should hopefully have it by Wednesday since I ordered it so late in the day. I'm really hoping for a phone that doesn't commit suicide in my pocket while on standby.
Its all guna depend on your phone/batt/rom/kernel/radio and settings my friend
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
I really don't have a problem not enabling 4g unless I need it. Interestingly enough, when I looked at the specs of the thunderbolt and the charge side by side, the charge is rated for a longer talk time, but the thunderbolt is rated for a longer standby time, even though the charge has a substantially larger battery.
For battery life with the Tbolt my standby was always at 58% or more in 4G area. Until I installed "2x Battery" from the market and my battery has gone from lasting 6-8 hours to doubling and almost tripling my battery life. So definitely check that app out if you are having excessive standby waste. I'm pretty sure I got that app idea from here somewhere.
I'll definitely look into that. Thank you.
Tried last night with 3g on instead of 4g and I went down 8% in 8h10m. This is on the stock battery, so battery life is pretty good running AOSP. I remember it would drain a lot more when I used to run sense though.
@somai - i followed what you have the gingeritis 3D VI with ziggy kernel and I am losing battery life.
I charged the battery 100% and battery calibration set then I am getting loss 100% to 76% in 5 hours with moderate use.
I tried using the OMFGB and CM7 got damn good battery life 2-3 days in moderate use.
I don't understand why your gingeritis 3D got better than my gingeritis 3D. =/

Yes, SGS3 battery is bigger, but the screen is bigger two, 4 cores of CPU and a more power hungry GPU, then Smart Stay eye tracking will be using front camera, that should drain battery as well...
So bigger battery could serve the extra changes from SGS2 and SGS3 would probably stay out of wires or induction charging for the same time as SGS2?
What do you say?
MicroSIM - does it use less power than SIM?
Its actually kinda useless when it comes to discussion like this as no one has the phone in their hands yet. Filling the pages with speculation and assumption will simply set a good/bad reputation to the mobile itself.
Id like to see this thread come alive after the release
cheers
i was getting 30-40 hours out of my gs2 running stock at&t. i would think the gs3 would do the same even with the added goodness. but even with the induction charging... i would imagine we will still need an extra battery or wired charger plugged in. there will always be times when the battery gets low and have to be charged while using it.
The photo I've seen looks like a mini sim, not micro sim.
No idea how the battery would be but the Samsung HK-MG 32nm process looks very promising, based on it's implementation in the iPad2,4 revision. More info:
http://www.androidnz.net/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-secrets-revealed.html
Don't think the "camera tracking" will take up much power either, they could probably just make due with a snapshot every 5 minutes(or when it would normally go into standby) or so and do facial recognition.
I was hoping for a battery close to the RAZR MAXX
Now that the battery is 2100, then i'm hoping that users will be able to control all new features. By that i mean turn them on and off. I really don't care for the many new features that Samsung has come up with. If it was possible I would replace Samsung's modified Android version with a Out of the box version like on Galaxy Nexus. Personally i was hoping that Motorola soon would come out with a new Quad Core phone with their 3300 battery.
Currently the one S with a 2x battery ap holds a decent amount battery battery with smart use of connection and other features by default, so I would have thought that it would work nicely on the bigger sg3. However I'm planning to have a 2nd battery handy and not worry about running out at any point.
sent with HTC1S
I'm hoping for an extended battery that adds a little to the phone. Maybe a 2750 or even 3300. Also to the gut who said Motorola one with quad. Don't, Motorola is terrible with their lies about bootloaders abd updating.
Samsung does a pretty good job at power management, I think battery life will be good especially with that 2100 Mah battery and the fact that the SoC is based on 32nm so less power used. We should be able to get a full day pretty easily.

Look at that review: Battery life goes from 92% to 84%...
That means quite nothing (We don't know what they do in cutted frames)... but in my mind I am quite sure that battery life will be even shorter than my LG Optimus 2x (16h with push notific and so on..)

It's over a period of 30 minutes, which seems to suggest an approximate battery lifetime of around 5-6 hours with the display on.
This is not really a bad thing but simply due to powering such a large display, but really most phones seem to get around 5-7 hours these days.
The Galaxy Nexus have the same "problem", but as I recall the Nexus also had some of the best idle/no display battery lifetime i.e. Only taxing antennas and processors.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5310/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-review/14
See the battery lifetime for the gsm version during talk or hotspot sharing the Nexus easily have some of the best performance there.

Much work has been done in terms of energy efficiency, battery 2100 mAh, and the device works like my day with a fairly thick load. What will happen in the commercial samples, I can not judge, more importantly, that time has grown and it is noticeable to the eye. On the other hand, to take advantage of this, it is necessary to disable all of the additional and not very necessary function.

First of all: thank you very much for this news!

Even a child would understand that a camera that follows your eyes constantly consumes battery!
Like voice recognition that is only useful to make the bully with friends at the bar.
If it makes you all feel any better I had the one x and even with the retail firmware 1.26 I was getting 12-16 hours with 2-3 hours screen on time with a crap 2g signal using internet regular and with really light use well over a day that was 1800mah battery

The point is in that a sgs3 has better battery stats compared to htc 1x. That's all.

Pretty much as the title says really. There are some horror stories about the device not even lasting a full day with average use.
Not really when I can get 5 hours of screen time

You decide for yourself. I don't think that its horrible. Avg use will usually put me at 30% or so at the end of the day. Including social networking, browsing web, text messaging, minimal gaming

If your a heavy user chances are you wont get a full day, but thats most phones. I bought a extended battery case for mine from at&t and I get a full day and more with that. But if you use it for basic text and calling and a little internet here and there you should be fine!
Avg use throughout the day

I get my 15-20 hours with medium use. More than satisfied with that.

thats about what im getting too.
I think both the enlarged battery and JB increased the battery life substantially, as an avid anime watcher, i often use my phone for 720p playback for long sittings (lasting from 1-3 hours) and the batery only loses around 20-25% with the screen about 10-20% brightness which btw is decent enough for most indoor environments (the one x+ still has a bright display despite being a tad dimmer the og one x). Coming from an evo 3d the battery life is about 50% better and about the same if not slightly better than my father`s galaxy siii. Standby is very good and the phone copes well with web browsing as well however don`t expect great battery life during gaming. All in all i am very satisfied.

Ditto. Ditto.
With average use like making a phone call send a text message and occasionally checking the internet or use my phone as remote for my wdtvlive hub and wifi always on i now on 33 % battery capacity with 2 days 9 hours of time. Must say have have energy saver on.
Also checked it with heavy use. One day i had to go to a city by train. So went out the house with google music streaming on my bike. At the train station the train arrived , i sat down and started to surf the net (all still with google music streaming) Arrived in eindhoven and started up google maps to see were i had to be. Walked for a mile and a half all navigated by maps. (still with google music streaming ). When going back home started up maps to see were the train station was and started up google music again. Back in the train watched some youtube (now with google music off offcourse ) back in my place on my bike google music again till i was at home i still had 45 % battery capacity.
So im happy with this stats !
My battery life is pretty good, actually.
At first, when I received my One X+ I even thought of returning it in, and maybe buy a SIII.
BUT... after 1 month, the battery is perfect and lasts 1 day without charging mid-day.
However, I let my One X+ run out of battery completely before fully charing it the first four days.
Guys I am a heavy user and I love to play hd games a lot for prolonged duration's.
On sIII battery used to last a whole day atleast using phone non stop ,is htc one x+ for users such as me???
I mean I just love sense but so far didn't buy bcoz of horrible battery issues I got from experienced mates who were using htc smartphones.
Iam now happy with battery life i get - my average using i get almost 2days (power saver on, i swich off some times when needed).
The thing is when i first got my phone i taught i will return it coz bat didn't even last 1 day with low usage, BUT the problem was - i didnt discharge hone till 0% till it swichs off, - calibrate battery!
So yeah calibrate your battery first! If you are rooted you can do it with app for store, but if not (like me for now tho) just discharge it from full charged 100% like 3 times till it swiches off.
Is it okay to fully discharge your phone 3 times in a row???
Actually I have a decent battery life on my X+, 16-18 hrs a day, but I never discharge it until the phone shut down by itself
I get good battery life. Usually a full day.

I don't think you should do that. You should only fully let your battery die around once or twice a MONTH. I just usually want until my battery is 20-30 percent to plug it in

All the time on 3g... Could last for another day if I didn't browse so much

So there are a lot of variables to this. My experience is that if you don't need to use more than one email account, don't have that email account set up as an exchange account then the avg user will probably have good battery life.
If you're like me and have three exchange email accounts set up, then battery life is ridiculously horrible. This is compounded by the fact that on the at&t version you can't turn off LTE and force the device into HSPA+ (3G) mode, even when you have the device rooted and on a custom rom.
I have gone back to my original One X for the moment and will let the smart folks here continue to tweak the device. It took about 4 months after the original One X was released to get a fairly bullet proof set up that worked well and had decent battery life.

Had the phone for about a month now. With background sync on, and over 150 apps installed my phone runs on average use for about 15 hrs, now that means usually when I'm out during the day. To me, that's fine, considering it lasts much longer than my previous HTC Desire, which had horrible battery life. While heavily gaming and browsing, the phone may last from about 2:40 to less than 4 hrs. While watching hd movies it held out close to 4 hrs, while the standby time I found to be fantastic! All in all, I'm pleased, considering the high end hardware it packs
In the other forums there talking about bad battery. Check my screen on time and time and current battery left. I was off charger at 6am.

If not web browsing all the time or gaming, the G3 gets good battery life. Nice big battery and throttle measures help out.

I don't buy a cell phone for gaming that's what game systems are for. Phones for web calls texting social media imo

Got 4.5 hours SOT with mainly browsing reddit yesterday, auto brightness 100%. Not bad considering my old phone would give out in around an hour.
I'm pretty pleased with the battery life so far. The pics below were at the end of my first full day with the device. It is rooted & debloated. I left it on 4G all day and, since I was in the car for most of the day, I had a little over 7 hours of streaming music via the SiriusXM app and Google Music. This includes the debloating process, which is why the screenshot shows a 28% loss in the previous 3 hours alone. It would've gone a good deal longer with normal usage.
I've not been getting good battery life since I've had my phone. I've noticed that my Android OS has been awake for 4+ hours, I mean I could lose 30%+ in an hours and a half sometimes, with auto brightness on. I don't play games at ask on it or stream anything. Idk what's going on.

Try running greenify, I believe it's actually built into this phone if you're not rooted. You might need to hibernate some apps.

My last phone was a s4 samsung.. the battery was pretty weak, getting down to nearly 10% every day.
Bringing home my G3 with moderate to heavy use and im easily getting home with 30%.
i have my brightness set at about 65%
My original razr maxx was only slightly better.. but over all the phone was a laggy sack of sheet.
My Batt life is NOT good. The S5 did a much better job at handling what I throw at it. Hope it improves.
I was able to get over 2.5 hours sot during 17 hours of use with 50% left. I say that's pretty damn good

Infact now my phone wont charge.. sigh.
Just streamed the NBC Live Extra app for 55 minutes straight. No over heating and used only 10% of battery. No issues with the G3 here. Heck of a lot better then my GS3.

Well
My battery is okay. Not great. I rooted and debloated; that seemed to help. I'm a heavy user. I stepped down from a 3500mah phone (xt1080), so it's definitely a bit of change.
Since the battery is removable, I went ahead and found a 3500mah battery on eBay to replace this 3000mah. We'll see how it performs. Either way, I'll have a spare battery.
Getting great batt life. I'm coming from the M8. I always have WiFi and BT turned on...I did get 1 bad day where batt just kept draining. Did a full charge and it was all better
Bad Battery
You guys with poor battery life might just have a bad battery. Plenty (including myself) are getting good/very good battery life. I can go a whole day easily with moderate/moderate-heavy use.
Hit your local Verizon Store and see if they will help you out by giving you a new battery.
be gentle plugging it in... my charging port is broken.
Lookin at at least 7 hours on screen . I love this phone. I'm running 4g all the time. Running high accuracy mode location when screen is on and taker turns off location when screen is off. Greenify to hibernate various non essential apps. Been listening to music,taking pics,and browsing web worth usual social networking apps. Enjoy the g3! Oh yeah screen at auto/85%
42%, Off charger for 24 hrs., Estimated 20 hrs remaining, ~2 hrs Screen On Time
I don't use my cell phone much on the weekends and it's been on wifi 90% of the time. I still think this is quite impressive
I roll with screen at 100% as I do with all my phones. Battery has been terrible. Wasn't much better when I dropped to 80% brightness
