So we got a massive battery with our sweet new Note 2. I know its early to judge the battery life but whats your battery life looking like so far? I like what I'm seeing so far :thumbup:

back on topic......i charged my battery to 80% before having to leave for work......
i drove to work with BT audio on...and some light txting and soem web use with 4g on all night from 345-present time 1130 and im at 52%.
im going to have to say that so far battery is great!
Simply amazing. Still have 48% left and for the first hour of screen on time I was at 100% brightness. Then I set it to auto since that will be my everyday setting. I have been on wifi though but I would expect at least 85% of the above numbers had I been on 4G lte.

I didn't take a screen shot cuz I needed to switch batteries and get to work but I ended up have over 13HRS with a little over 5 hours of on screen time and 1hr and 22 minutes worth of phone calls. I say pretty damn good since I was on the phone playing with it all day lol

This Was pulling the Battery out of the package and installing it without ever plugging it in. I am stoked for this phone. 50% down to 26% after 3 hours of screentime.

wow, screen must be a battery sucker. 6 hours screen on time is nice, but expected better on this device. Seen a DNA battery shot that had 6hours screen on with its 2020 battery.
Well im sitting at over 7 1/2 now. Ive been running Benchmarks etc. So for a first charge in my opinion it is outstanding. Ive been going non stop. This thing rocks and Ive got 70gb of usable memory on board. Lol. My guess is that without my screen cranked up and normal use without all the testing , downloading etc.,Ill be at a comfortable 9 hrs screen time.

LOL 6 hours my as** on the DNA, had it, the best I got was 3 hours and 45 minutes and that was majority of the time on wifi but never got above 3 hours on regular usage. The screen on you saw must be with 0% brightness and I would go as far as saying it was faked.. no way that thing got 6 hours of screen on time. I am 5 hours now and I still have 30% battery left and the first hour of screen on time was 100% brightness for me, so I could have easily been at 6 hours right now with 30% left, on auto I would get almost more than double the battery life of droid dna.

pretty sure it wasn't faked, but brightness could have been set low. Of course this thing will get better battery life, it has an extra 1100mah to play with. I do think the DNA is a better power conserving phone though. HTC is doing good things to get the battery life they are out of 2000mah.
The battery on this phone rocks tho. Samsung got it right by putting a big battery in it. Props to Samsung :thumbup:

I don't think its better, it gives me more than twice the screen on time of the dna, with 50% bigger batter capacity,, so note 2 is better in that regard..Loved the dna but I guess you can call me a heavy user.
This was with some video use and about 30 minutes of playing a game thrown in with regular texting and watching some Thursday night football on the NFL Mobile app. My GNex would have been dead within 4 hours!
Battery life is looking good so far.
The battery was about half full when I got it ... don't know what it was out of the box but it was on about an hour or so at the store while the rep ported my number. Once I got it home though, I messed with it probably a good 3 hours or so trying to get it set up, with LTE data, and I only dropped about 10%.
Seamed to get better as the day went on

7 hours and still at 92%, nice!! As DarkMan asked, how big is it now?
If only the Defender case would fit around an extended battery. My phone dies too fast with Bluetooth on all day and making calls all day for work. Plus the loads of texts and surfing, lol.
O snap! Thats amazing.....

Sure that would show some nice info, but with the 3D there's no way the stock battery would only use 8% in 7 hours even with the screen off (unless mobile data was shut off.)

Um...yeah...on WIFI at home, I can leave my phone unplugged and even with push syncing on my gmail and exchange account, if I leave it on my nightstand, it will only use about 10% over 8 hours. I will do it tonight and post up a screenshot tomorrow morning.

To be honest I think that WiFi uses less battery than mobile data, so even with the push email it'll use less than just the mobile data without push. Let me rephrase what I said then. There's no way I'll ever see that little loss over that length of time, even without using the phone just in my pocket I lose 10% in less than 2 hours.

Wow, again, no way I'd ever see that battery life. I'm running Steel's ROM with one of the dual core kernels, nothing that should be draining it, just crappy data here so I guess it struggles to work draining the battery.

A weak cell signal is really rough on the battery. I use wifi at work and home, both have full signal 90% of the time. If my phone is just sitting there at idle it barely uses any battery. Showing battery life since unplugged really isn't giving any info. Up Time and Awake Time since unplugged, with either Data or Wifi on, is what everyone should be showing. That actually gives everyone a general idea of battery life...
With my Anker 1900mah batteries, I get from 20-34 Up with 5-6 Awake, depending on my usage.

How do you get that much off it? I have the anker battery too and I get around nine-ten where my OEM gets seven to eight. All I do is play words with friends. Most of the day my screen is off with only mobile data on. No way can I get 20 hours.

you have some serious wakelock issues.. thats probably why you get ****ty battery life

If you look at the time where the battery dropped the most, your phone was awake but the screen was off that whole time. There is an app that is keeping your phone awake. I have never had that problem before but I am sure that there is a program on the market that would help find the culprit.

Which battery monitor program are you using?
We should generate our own thread with battery stats for the AT&T version of The HTC One X+ because we have the LTE version. I expect that our batteries will drain faster. I will post my stats as soon as I am through my 3rd charging cycle. +/- power saver will be interesting as well as overnight in sleep mode. I normally don't optimize a lot to keep my battery drain low. My GNex made it without a problem through a day and night.
I'm on my second cycle and the battery has been exceptional! 1.5 days on a single charge so far.

I can't give you any good battery data yet, as I just got home from the store with it and I've been busy setting everything up the way I want it and installing apps. I was, however, very surprised after installing CPU Spy to see how low the processor will slow down...

6 hours with slight/medium use and I am down to 50%: No battery optimizations. Screen is on auto-brightness. I will use better battery stats to get a better idea what drains the battery. I burn 10% of battery/hour with light/medium use that's too much.

Interesting. If I look at better battery stats CPU states the lowest my phone is going to is 475 even though it could go low as 50. Have to run the stats for an entire battery charge to get some useful information.

This was hours after getting home with my new phone, just after installing tons of apps. So CPUspy didn't have much data to work with. Now that I unlocked my bootloader, I'm going to have to start all over again!

So I tested again today and my battery performance is still bad I would say. Do you guys get similar result otherwise I will try to exchange my device. I didn't do anything special. I played 5 minutes riptide. Took some photos without flash and posted some stuff on facebook and XDA. Screen on time is low 1.5 hours. and I have only 28% left. Do you get similar result or much better battery performance?

If I open better battery stats the overview is on the first screen I see. You only see it when the phone is not charging. You have to wait a while until it populates with data. No root necessary. Try to switch the view from since unplugged to since charged and back. That might help.
Interesting. I got my replacement device yesterday and I ran better battery stats: My battery drains now only 5%/hour instead of 10% and the CPU clocks down to 50Mhz while not in use. My first HOX+ never went below 500Mhz. Looks like not the battery was kaputt but the CPU had some issues I would say.
It's seems as if I'm now getting a average of 20 hours so. Constantly on wifi, a couple calls, some email and light gaming. I have to say coming from the vivid I'm highly dissapointed. I was expecting not to constantly feel like I'm tethered to wall but that doesn't seem to have changed.

20 hours on battery power makes you constantly feel tethered to the wall? I think your expectations are a bit unrealistic. You're on a quad-core device with a huge high-def screen. 20 hours seems very reasonable to me. Charging once a day is pretty standard for most modern portable devices. I think 16 hours is about the target I look for, that way it can be plugged in when I sleep and run unplugged the rest of the day.

okay well today I decided I wanted an upgrade, Im not eligible until Feb 1st (or a few days after) so I called tech support and was crying about how my upgrade is 2 weeks away and how i really want a new phone. so long story short, they directed me to my local verizon store after changing the date to today; an hour later home with the DNA.
and I am impressed.
I have the galaxy note 10.1 as my main tablet, and the Droid Dna is much snappier than that, and their specs are pretty much the same.
so as much as I "hate" htc, i bough the dna because i thought it looks cool, and im glad I did
and I dont hate HTC, im just one of those frustrated T-bolt users lol, and now my grandpa is rocking the t-bolt and loves it...if only he knew what android 4.0 was......

It only lasts about 7 for me:/
And this is day 2, so I jay take it back and exchange for another dna, as this could be a faulty battery, or sidegrade to a s3
Now heres what my usage is;
Im a college student, so my phone is off charger by 730 am (from the night before) and comes to school until about 3 or so.
In just those 8 hours, with wifi off, gps off, brightness set to auto, and only like 30 mins of screen on time; its at like 30-35
And 3 isnt a good time to die cause I have the rest of the day I need it, so is it me using it wrong or maybe bad battery?
Cause im debati on going to verizon tomorrow to replace it with a s3 or a new dna

I've had my Droid DNA about 3 weeks and I'm in love with it myself. I must suggest everyone get a charging pad as well, it seems to make the battery last longer from it's charge!

why would that possibly prolong the battery life?
my signal at my school is maximum bars , and 4g.
and okay, ill be heading over to verizon in a few minutes to see what they wanna do
because the dna should get at least 12 hours of my "low-average" usage
and okay, ill try to get a new DNA and if I do ill put the brightness somewhere in the middle instead of auto brightness.
thanks all!
Try this app: Deep Sleep Battery Saver. It has worked wonders on my DNA's battery life. It turns off apps and the radios for the WiFi and Mobile Data when the device's screen goes dark. At set intervals, it'll wake up the radios and download email, etc. You can also whitelist apps that you do not want the app to shut off, like an alarm clock app or an SMS app. You will still receive your phone calls. As of this writing, I have 94% battery 5 hours after I disconnected the phone from the charger. I have made a few calls and texts. I haven't used data since I am at work and am in front of a computer the whole day.

I agree with what everyone else said - you probably had a defective unit. I use my DNA much more than you do, with Auto-sync on, Background data on, Mobile Network always on, Brightness at around 40%. In my daily commute, I total around an hour of time spent underground in a subway station with no signal. Given all this, with ~3-4 hours of screen-on time, my phone lasts me from 7:45 in the morning all the way through until ~12 midnight with usually at least 20% battery life left. I don't know if it means anything, but I charged my phone fully before turning it on for the first time (I didn't even let the Verizon store rep turn it on to activate it for me - I told him to not even open the box). If you're interested, this is what I did:
1. Made sure the phone was not turned on at any point before I took it out of the box.
2. Took the phone out of the box without turning it on and plugged it in.
3. Waited for the light to turn green, then unplugged it and let it sit for a few minutes.
4. Re-plugged the phone (the light would be orange again), and waited for it to turn green.
5. Repeated the unplugging and replugging process until the light turned green almost immediately upon plugging in.
6. Turned the phone on and did the activation and all that fun stuff.
7. Used the phone normally, and did not charge it until the battery was fully depleted (turned off by itself because battery was too low).
8. Fully charged the phone until it was full again (without turning it on).
9. Repeated the unplugging and replugging process again until the light turned green almost immediately upon plugging in.
10. Turned it on and started using it normally from that point on.
I'm a bit OCD with my phone battery But hey, it seems to have worked out well for me so I'm happy!
Juicedefender is the best free battery saver I have tried.. Just having it on the balanced pre-set made a difference.. After suffering through the Tbolt, Droid razr, and Gnex, I'm pretty happy with the battery

Well I unfortunately went to the dark side, no not the company with a piece of fruit for a logo...samsung
And I wanted the dna but the lady told me that the battery life is normal for that phone cause of the big screen with 1080p and a quad core processor. I tried to disagree a little, but then she told me she has had the s3 since its launch and she hasnt had an issue yet. So I played with her phone, cause demo units are almost always bogged down. And I liked it.
So as of now, im off the htc bandwagon....but hopefully ill be back in about 8 months when my next line is available for upgrade

haha, he probably didn't use his phone much. On screen time is probably the most important factor in battery life.

I was surprised to see how much battery life I'm getting out of this phone. I've used it a lot and it still lasts me whole day without having to recharge. I guess Cuz it's pretty new, but let's see.

Use power saver mode charge to100% and use battery calibration app...this erases the batterystats.bin file
Let full discharge once then charge to 100 %
This tool actually helps a lot.
Minimize cpu set to on demand .
I get like 18hrs from 100% down to 8 %
That's from 6 am to 12 midnigt total of 18hrs.
I believe my 82 System app/Debloat illustration is the reason behind my stats.
Check out the thread freeze as many of the system apps as shown .
Pick and choose some may want to use some of the system apps.The ones I froze I found useless to me.

Do you realize I've done none of that and I'm at 18 hours and almost 4 hours screen-on with 30% remaining as of this writing? How many times does it need to be stated that wiping the battery stats is pointless? How many times does it need to be said that draining lithium ion batteries to 0 is more harmful than good? That's all a placebo, nothing more and nothing less.

During my first week of use, I was only getting through the better part of the day before having to charge it. after I've been through multiple charge cycles its lasting a day and a half. It appears to get better with time, I'm really loving it now!

Hey guys up loving my HTC one but the battery on my phone seems to die very quickly specially after playing a few games eg. Candy crush is anyone else experiencing the same problem . I always have the phone on power saver mode and I'm also running the batteryguru app . Should exchange the phone for a new unit ?
Actually, my E4GT was getting 1.5 hours of screen time 12 hours of battery. IDK why it was, it just was. What I'm seeing here, I will be more than happy. And I have an external battery charger? Oh yea.
And the person who only lost 30% from having their phone on for almost 12 hours, that's godsend to me. I leave my phone on over night and lose 30%. LoL!! I can't wait until my HTC One says shipped. (Tmo). They just took the payment out today after purchasing it this Monday. I hope this means their' going to ship it. (Overnight). =.D
So, Snapdragon's battery management app just came out of beta, any of you have any comments about your experience with the app on the S4?

i don't think this impacts your kernel. Kernels modify how the hardware talks with the phone. This app is the contrary, it impacts how the software talk to the phone. I think its worth a try either way
In any case, i installed the app earlier, it takes about 2 days to learn my behavior, i will see how it work in a couple of days and i'll report back. Usually, i can get a full day of light to moderate use and still have 30 - 40 % when i get home. we'll see with this app

I believe most people are downloading the apps to support the dev. In this case namely Faux. He made a good kernel so why not support him..

i think hes talking about fauxclock and fauxsound. I wouldnt pay for that, but i do trust the developper as hes been the best kernel maker since the S2
mine just got out of learning mode...will check back in 48 hours with some stats
this is why you pay for a kernel tweaker ,and thats overclocked to 2.1 and screen time of 2 hours and talk time of about 1 and half hours and still have 22 percent to go that will take me over 24 hours, ohh and i just started using battery guru yesterday still in learning mode
Interesting app, installed it and will test it over the next few days.
This should have come integrated with all factory roms, instead of gimiky junk.
Thanks for sharing.

tbh 24 hours with 2 hours screen on is not that good. If i dont use wifi, just LTE every day i get 24-30 hours with about 2.5 hours screen on thats OC'ed just a tad. Now using wifi as much as i can i can get 5-6 hours screen on same time frame...

While I completely agree with you that it should have come pre-installed, there's also the chance that this, too, is a gimmicky app! I've got 4 hours left in "learning mode," so we'll see.... I'm already getting incredible battery life, so I don't have much to complain about!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S 4 using the XDA app
F you for seeing the point in supporting devs. I spent 7hrs straight last night debugging my aospa build - all for free - no charge to you. Thanks.
well, very interesting results. I've been out of learning mode for about 2 days, and i have to say i really see a considerable difference. First, i would just like to point out i'm not a HEAVY user, more moderate to light. I'm an insurance broker, i'm on the phone from 9am to 5pm about 80% of the day (on land line), so my screen time is about 1.5 hour at 5pm, i mostly check social networks, emails, tapatalk, some youtube vids during breaks, my apps update automatically during the day. On a good day, i come home with 40%, on a day of heavy usage, about 20%, i'm always on lte tho. I also never disable wifi, bt, gps and most other features.
Today has really been the determining day because its the first day the counter was on. When i came home today, i had 1h17 mins of screen time and.................................68% left!!!! Then from about 6pm to about 30 minutes before bedtime bedtime and adding an another 30 mins of screen time (1:00am EST) i lost an extra 15% to bring me down to 53% just before i plugged it for the night. Thats a HUGE improvement. The great thing about this is that all day, i received all my FB notification instantly, all my emails and other stuff. I have not seen any cut in functionality.
So this phone was unplugged at 7am this morning, and in 17 hours, with just under 2 hours of screentime, and light to moderate use, i lost in total, 47% of juice and i didn't notice giving up any functionality.
I have to say i'm impressed. I hope this was not just a really good day, and that this app actually was the reason for the improvement.
myn came out of learning yesterday i am using fauxs kernel too but this is light usage but still this is great,14 hours and still at 78 percent wow
Mine came out of leaning about 10pm last night. I noticed using power saving mode helped a lot without sacrificing normal performance just using apps and checking messages and stuff. Standby with batteryguru my idle almost flat line which helps a lot. Usage with power saving on and off with battery guru was almost the same. Battery just seemed to stretch. Automatic brightness also seems to work better. Before battery guru kicked in auto brightness was all over the place or did not work very well, more of not working well. Now auto brightness is fairly consistent though the delay us often 1-5 seconds. Still much better than before. It also seemed to get better battery life with my at&t sim rather than T-Mobile. I think part of it is T-Mobile bloatware running in the background and probably the better reception. But in tmobile's defense I do have to say I am impressed with the network. I am seriously considering switching to T-Mobile now. Their dc hspa+ and lte were both fairly consistent at ~10mbps with low latency. Also am getting much better signal at my apartment. At work is a mixed bag though. Hard pulling signal in the reception challenged places where in would get a signal with atnt. At&t lte though is much faster. Hardly dipped below 10megs and often got 20-30mb/s. I am going to return my gs4 though and see what the Google edition brings. I have some issues with mine that I can't isolate to hardware or software any further unless I root and I won't do that becuae I haven't committed to the phone yet. Also have a two tone screen. One side is darker than the other. Was not a big deal until I started noticing how bad the black crush was on the darker/left side and loss of details in videos. I was not actively looking for this loss of clarity either. After extensive display testing now I can't shake the obvious disparity and hope i get abetter screen if I get a Google gs4. Anyways, went off topic, but battery guru is the real deal. Very noticeable.improvement in battery and phone got less hot and took longer to get to a borderline warmth level. Definitely worth looking into this app to improve battery. With the right tweaks, root access and optimizing some of the apps for black background (why the hell samsung went back to white backgrounds like email have no clue) this phone could probably get 6h in a heavy day of usage easily, provided no GPU intensive apps/games are played.

Just some stats since downloading this app and it being out of learning mode and I'm amazed.. I normally get about 12-14 hours no charge with about 30% left.. Although I did put this on the charger for about 20 minutes last night the last full charge was 4pm yesterday and I'm just now putting it on the charger at 12pm today.. Now one problem is it learns how you use your phone and adjusts to your usage, that said, I work from 430pm to 430am Monday thru Thursday and 430 till 2am at the latest on Fridays so my phone isn't on Wi-Fi in those hours so when I got off work early last night this app automatically had my Wi-Fi off cause the 2 day learning period was during the week. So I didn't realize it and did some heavy browsing. But overall this app is amazing and a must have..
