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?

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.

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.
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!
\\Carved into this thread by my RAZR//
http://android-gz.com
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.

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!

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.

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
Quick question..
I got rid of my DNA a while back because of battery life but I kinda want it back. I have a buddy trading me his DNA and he just sent me a screenshot of his usage.

+1 for gsam, great app.
What does it matter what his current screen time is? Two people just told you they get 5 hours of constant screen time and 3 hours would be a bare min with hard hard gaming and tasks. For what this phone is, it does fantastic for its battery.
And if you are spending 5 hours staring at your phone you may just be an inrovert. Lets think about this, if you spend 5 hours glued to your phone, thats 20% of your day blocking off everything around you. Thats alot of things to miss out on.
Is that 5 hour mark achievable with just LTE and no WiFi?
I get a full day (17ish hours I am awake) with at least 3hrs screen on and will goto bed with at least 20% charge left.
edit: I also have 4g and wifi on throughout the day - never turning either of them off.
The battery life has a lot to do with your signal coverage.
Take this as an example. For the first few months with the phone I worked in an office with poor signal reception. I mean bad. It would be hunting for even a 1X connection on minute, then showing full bars of 4G the next, just to lose it all 10 minutes later. (It was the building, not the phone). Now I'm in a new office that has excellent 3G coverage (4G seems to come and go, I blame Verizon).
My routine is the same. Unplug at 6:30am, moderate use throughout the day. At the old office I'd be down to 30% or so by lunch (12) and if I didn't charge it I'd die around 5:30pm. At the new office I actually forget to charge it during the day sometimes. It'll last until 8pm. And that's using the phone a good amount during the day.

I get 5-6 hours of screen time on before it's dead.

What ROM/kernel/settings are you using? I've never gotten over 4.5 hours.
I don't know about screen time but I'm right over 12 hours off the charger today and have 53% left. Most days I have between 25% and 35% left when I put it on the charger at night after 16 hours. No wifi, LTE on and auto brightness. Only had to charge it twice before the end of the day.
I will install GSam though. I'm interested to see what my actual screen time is.

I get about 3-4 hours of on-screen time and about 12-15 hours on a full charge This is about on par with my S3. I'm quite happy with the battery life as I was expecting much worse.

That's a little higher than normal for me, for example, today I'm at 15 hours and have 14% left.
On days where I use my screen a lot I get less.
The other night I was working on some late night research and my phone was plugged in and I noticed the charging light turn green. Knowing I had at least 5 more hours to go before I was done, I un plugged it, put on Netflix over 4G, streaming some hd movie my kids watch, since Dr Seuss about trees. Anyway, i let it play at full brightness and recorded the time and percent. It died at right around 5.5 hours.
I ended up using the best fit line (linear approx) and wrote a model of battery life as a function of screen tine, brightness, and 4g vs wifi. I'll see if I am find it.
But over 5 hours is pretty respectable though. I was impressed.

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.

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.

Battery is great so far

re
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
