We all talk about battery life but i want to know how is your battery life with your screen on? Lately I've been getting around 6 to 7 hours of screen time. I have the Maxx. Is that good or bad? How is everyone else?

So no one else considers screen time and battery life important?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I do. Until I got the maxx I've tried talking h about this topic before but the conversation usually ends in "oh the screen always uses that much battery, and battery is the number on battery consumer" so I kinda just gave up on this issue

It as well as battery life in general are very subjective depending on usage.
If you have data off and watch a series of dark movies the screen on time will be longer than someone streaming porn on LTE.

With data on what is your on screen time? Is 5-6 hours good? I'm not in a4g area and display is between 30-50 percent

I think it has been six or seven hours was the fastest I have killed the battery with screen on and trying to drain the battery.

I've been using ICS en.EU leak (676.226.3) for 1 and a half month, and then some days ago, this started...
Yesterday I charged my phone full and didn't even touch it for more than 6 hours, just to show that how Android OS is eating my battery, it keeps my phone awake :/

First is this a Maxx?, that's actually not horrible. It comes to about 3% an hour at idle I typically hey Scott 1_2 with my Maxx. Try turning off wifi and the OS should be you're second biggest drain after the screen so if you don't touch the screen then it well become you're number 1.

No, it's not a Maxx.
It annoys me, that it awakes the phone in every 15 mins or so...
Is auto sync on?

I don't think you're wifi is turning off because that history shows wifi staying on. Also for a non Maxx that seems about right, but if that's worst then normal boot into recovery and clear your caches. I had drain issues once and a good clear fixed it right up plus I personally think your should clear them every now and then

Hey guys, I've been having a strange issue with my amaze... I currently have Android Revolutions sense Rom, with faux v022... Well my title says it, after I finish charging, after it INDICATES it being 100%, I unplug and wait. 5 minutes later it would be down to 95%.... It continue to drop fast and stop then slow down.... And decrease fast again... I'm guessing the indicator is malfunctioning... I'm also reading the voltage of my battery when fully charged (i have a 1900mah banker) and it would hover at 4100-4200v... I feel that's a little low for it.. anyone else experiencing this issue too? Anyone got a fix for this? I'm getting really frustrated with this false reading/fast draining of my battery... Ive tried calibrating, fully decharging and recharging... New Roms, new kernels, stock kernel... Am I missing something here?

With an anker, what you're describing sounds pretty typical from what I've read on these forums. They don't behave like a typical oem battery. How long does it last? Worse then stock?
Yes, its an anker issue. Every amaze anker user will tell you the same thing like you described.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Hey thanks for the responses! The phone definitely lasts longer than the stock... I gues ill just have to live with the whacky reading.... Haha.. on average I'm getting 18+ hours off this battery... Just wish there was a fix to this but oh well! Thanks again for the response again!!
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
I have been using an anker battery, I'm running Fourth bar with faux kernel. So far this is the best battery life I've ever had. I used my phone quite a bit yesterday and even watched an hour of Netflix this morning.

Hi everyone. I've seen couple friends of mine saying that their S3 last like 2 days. I can't even see the night with mine. I used the screen only an hour but it's already %37. I guess there's something wrong. Can you check it out and tell me if it's normal?

What do you suggest me to do? I bought this from USA but now I'm in Turkey so I don't have warranty here. Do you think if I buy a new battery it's gonna fix?
Get yourself a Battery Mix from playstore, observe the graph and try to find out which application is using the cpu, I mean, see which one is constantly using the cpu even though you didn't use it.
(eg: on my phone google chrome and line are the main culprit)

Try using better battery stats and see what is causing wakelocks so u can fix them and ur battery will last longer

That´s not normal, i am on Jelly Bean stock rom and rigth now i have 32% left with 1d and 9h43m, with normal use, phone calls, sms, wi-fi on.
I bought the Samsung Extra Battery Kit a while ago. At first I thought it was just placebo, but now I am pretty sure that the newer battery has a 1/3 better battery life than the one the S3 came with.
So I think not all batterys are created equal or degenerate after a few months too quickly.

I'm on viper4g my battery life on stock kernel has always been good on jellybean typically still have well over 50% by the end of my day just using my phone intermittent browsing Xda on my break at work or what have you. The other day this battery drain kicks in and I couldn't find a runaway app or anything that had change significantly bring it about. I heard about this app gsam battery monitor and have been using it only problem is the percentages are going way over 100% for phone signal I can't make out what the issue even is. From my understanding having a high percentage for screen is good since that means the power is drawing primarily from the display being on as oppose to data or radio having drain when you are not using them.

Are u in a spotty area?

I had the same problem today. Also on viper4g, running custom kernel. Yesterday I ended the day with 1 day 4 hours on one charge. Today my phone was dead in 8 hours. Tried restarting it a couple times when I noticed the battery was dropping quick.

My house gets a weak signal but that hasn't ever been a huge factor...when it drains it does even when I'm working in town where there's good reception.

Strange wish I could pinpoint what happened, it appears I'm back on track now but I'm weary of phone signal % creeping back up near or over 50%
I had the same problem when i was running viper a couple of weeks ago and i just switched to a stock rom and knock on wood my battery lasts me the whole day.
Well vipers Rom isn't built to hold a charge for along time what they emphasized on was the ability to customize just about everything which seperates it from the rest.

Well, I don't know if this helps much, but I've rooted and disabled quite a few background apps. I currently have a little over a gig of RAM free. Anyway, I have 77% battery left, and I have a screen-on time of 41 minutes and it's been 8 hours, 36 minutes since I last charged it! For me, battery life has been a dream.

I ushed 5.75 hours screen time the other day. The battery life is phenominal on this device
Now when you are pushing these times. Please state lte or wifi. If it's wifi it's not impressive

I am unlimited data. Don't use wifi. That is pure 4g.
Yesterday 5:14 screen on time with 13% Battery left
That's with all Syncs are manual (other then work email once per hour) and only air call-accept and quick glance on, all other motion and gestures off
Thats all mobile man 3g/4g i just keep all the goodies off and keep screen auto or even lower. Sync off is importent to. I also use the power saving mode sometimes and it does not impede performance much. Not noticable
got 16 hours out of a charge last night, on screen time was about 3.5 hours
