I have noticed my battery sucks lately. I know the battery isn't the greatest but I was able to get easily a day of use out if it. Now I can barely go a day. I purchased beautiful Widgets, battery indicator and xda app all last week And it seems after that is when my battery went to **** .I used launcher pro for a bit too but started having lag problems so I removed that. Today I uninstalled beautiful Widgets. I'm on wifi and in airplane mode. As I'm typing this I've lost %2 already. Wtf is going on? I have GPS Bluetooth and usually wifi off. I have use only 2G networks, sync only gmail and screen manually set and set to low 30sec TO.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like way more than that. I can certainly type a couple paragraphs before my % drops at all. You sure haven't installed something else? If not you could have a defect.? Possibly return it and get a new one?

Quick question, which ROM are you running? Ever since I switched over to leaked JI2, every couple days I notice that after running one of a few apps, the CPU just seems to go into overdrive. The phone gets really warm and the battery drains ridiculously fast. So fast that even plugging into my car charger won't charge the phone, even on idle. If I reboot, the phone cools down and the battery drain goes back to its normal, slow self.
I haven't narrowed it down to any specific app yet, but it seems to be either, Foursquare, Great Land Grab, or Bubble Blast.
Foursquare I have, I don't remember when I installed it. I am actually just running stock TW.

I get 15hrs... I am not ROOTED! I did the drain battery life process twice. This is with moderate usage. I am planning to do the drain battery process once a month cuz I hear it helps with battery life. Possible that u install something that's killing your battery.
Solution do the master reset if that doesn't help then it can be the battery is no good. I know that this is with the stock rom. If u are using another rom that's maybe the problem. U can try switchig roms to see if this is the problem. I hope this information has been helpful.
Does the master reset remove everything ? I have all my pics/videos on my phone meM. I have music and avatar on SD.

I have all of those apps except for battery indicator. I get about just over a full day. I would say turn off Wifi Sleep Policy and see if that helps.

hey presence ive been having the same troubles lately...and i also jst recently got on foursquare...so maybe thats what it is...ive been looking at all my latest inslaeed apps and nothing else seems like it would have a battery drain effect...idk lol
I've had it installed for a while But started using it as of late. GPS fails all the time now though for some reason. Idk. But its kind of frustrating

I have the same issue and i run system app n it doesn't show anything abnormal running. Its awfully frustrating i went from being good for 18hours to being in the red after 12 hours. I dropped 2% just writing this. I have only 84% left after 1.5hours this morning...and I have no service during my 1hour commute so I haven't used it. Standby is killing my battery.

It seems as though it drains faster in standby with nothing running. I removed FourSquare last night and have nothing running as far as widgets. I'm going to reboot and see. I've had it unplugged since 7am this morning, after a little over an hour I lost 2%.. not that bad I guess..

I've had this happen a few times. For me, it's usually because my battery status gets thrown off somehow. The phone would read that I have 55% battery life left, but it really only is at 25 or 30% and it always feels like it's draining fast. I usually turn off the phone, pull the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back it. When I turn on the phone the battery percentage is corrected and the phones seems to be back to normal battery use. I don't know why this happens.

This was suddenly happening to me today -- my battery started draining very quickly, mostly on standby (I usually have quite good battery life). No new or unusual apps installed in the past week (I don't use Foursquare).
I gave it a power-down/battery pull; no adjustment in the % as described in the post above, but it seems to be draining more normally now. Weird....

Same thing happens to me every couple days. Rebooting the phone fixes it every single time though, so it's not a big deal if I catch it in time. If I didn't catch it, I'd estimate my phone would be drained (even in standby) within 4 hours or so.

Same here, I rebooted after removing FS and some other apps/touitur and got 1day 13hrs on the next charge with pretty moderate use. So whatever it was, it's gone now. If it was FS hopefully it's fixed soon.
Had a similar experience, with battery % entering freefall every time I turned the phone on. Two things helped:
1. I did the drain cycle. Drain the battery completely till it shuts off and charge it to full while off. This does not 'fromat/form' the battery in any way it just helps the phone to calibrate the meter.
2. I uninstalled few apps that I suspected were draining the battery.
I advise you install JuicePlotter and see the graph of battery drain. You'll be able to tell if the phone is entering standby or not. Thanks to some culprit apps (still figuring out what it was exactly) my phone was not entering standby at all hence the crap battery life.
Has anyone else ever had their battery improve over time?
My stock battery has overnight gotten amazingly better, and I can't explain it. Its on a stock amaze, everything stock, I was having some battery issues, it would charge and get to 99% then take a good 20-25 mins to get to 100%, so I got a battery calibrator off the market, a non root required one. So I get it charged, and 'calibrate' it, and I didn't think it would do anything. So it stayed at 100% for over an hour with the screen on. At night it was reading 70%, and I left it without charging, and in the morning was dead. Right away I thought the battery calibrator threw it off, so I charged it up agaon to 100%, and this time wanted it to drain to zero, and I thought I'd start over from a drained battery. Same thing happened when I had it at 100%, it would take forever to drain it, I was playing movies on it, sound turned up, screen full brightness, and the thing wouldn't drain. I had a movie looped all night, and for a period of 10 hrs of this, it was still going when I woke up! I find it hard to believe that this is legit, but I've tried it twice now to drain the battery and I'll wake up and it'll be at roughly 15% remaining.
The other odd thing I noticed is on my data tracker, I had about 80MB of data go through the phone that I can't recall doing anything with. It was at a time I was at home and on wifi, so I can't call telus and see what went through the network, but the phone had something big go through it that I didn't do. Maybe telus is secretly fixing the battery issue on these phones? The conspiracy continues…
Just thought I'd share. I attached a pic of the battery status as of today. I haven't charged this thing in over a day other then a little bump. Before, I'd get to 18-20 hrs of regular use and it would need a charge.
I've also got another amaze running energy rom, and faux and its been doing way better then the rooted amaze.

Taking pictures uses a LOT of battery life i have noticed, especially when using flash.
The Screen was barely on and awake time is minimal as well. Everyone just says "Wow" when they see a day, but a day of barely using your phone is not a special thing to accomplish.
Truth when I spend all day at my job I can't use my phone, even with syncing on... I'll still have 70+ % after 14 hours or so...

So is this thread supposed to be based on a purely stock experience? I have yet to get less than 14 hours with the heaviest usage.. but then again I am not stock. But every rom I have used has given me at LEAST a 12 hour battery life, even if I am trying to kill it.
I realize from numerous threads that wiping battery stats doesn't really do anything, but even though my battery goes to 90% super quick(I wish I knew why, it hasn't always) I still usually get 18+ from my phone, with realistic usage.
If this thread IS just for people using stock.. why are you using stock? I am on bulletproof 2.5 with the latest kernel, and I get great battery life, with over 130 apps installed and regular use.
A random thought, on previous devices I disabled automatic time sync and saw a big difference. I did the same for the amaze since day 1.. maybe you should disable it too? After you synced to the server, what point is there to auto-time?
My 2 cents.. don't know what the complaining it about.
On light usage, I EASILY get 2+ days on one charge..
Being there's so much difference in battery life, I was curious if there might be a bad batch of phones. My phone gets great life and my dad's gets significantly less. He works about 2 blocks away from me and actually has a stronger signal in his building than I do at mine and his battery drops like a rock with nothing running. I'm rooted and froze the AT&T bloat. He's stock.
My serial number contains a PTM and the end number is in the 40000's. His serial number contains PZK and ends in a number in the 30000's. If you have time post your serial # info and how your battery life is.
I returned my ladies OG and now her battery life is better. Even b4 I rooted it drain was better from prior phone. Could be a batch. That's my lead as well

Does this phone have the ability or need to reset battery stats? I know you couldn't do it, or it was unnecessary on the SGSII. Just curious if it's a calibration issue.

Resetting battery stats actually has no correlation with battery life whatsoever. It is not what controls the percentage that we see in screen. I believe it just tracks what apps or system files are or have been using up the battery. Battery stats gets an automatic reset whenever you reboot anyways.
For those with bad battery drain, just try and see what your serial numbers are n post it here to compare.

The battery life on my phone and seemingly most folks is great. Granted some folks probably live on the cusp of LTE coverage in their area and the radio is killing the battery while liking for signal (that happened to me with my EVO 4G).
If it were all devices, then only the battery life fanatics who shut down everything would be seeing 20hrs on a charge.
I think there's a bad batch of hardware or there.

my s/n: KPUU 40000's the high end. I dont think its a batch.
seems odd that those who are having the issue are not likely to make to 10hrs on a charge (often 1/2 that)...while others are bumping 20hrs (myself included).
i have 4 emails on constant sync, as well as, facebook, weather, xda and a chess. each day has a couple hours of screen time. 1hr each day of either Pandora or Audible. 20-50 text and @45min - 1hr of phone time. ... in case you think i put my phone in my pocket and forget about it.
granted, i do connect to wifi at home and work. and i live in an area where i have solid LTE coverage at all times.
audible and screen time are my worst battery drains.

We got ours off the box. Not sure where you'd get it in the phone.
Did a little more research. Set them side by side for an hour with screens at same brightness, always on, with Nexus live wallpaper running. Both were hooked into wifi and the microcell. Battery usage over a 1 hour period was pretty much identical (within 1%). Then did some web browsing and hit all the same links and drain was the same. We thought it maybe was just battery conditioning. When I first got it I did 2 full drains and recharges with it off. He did that about a week in and thought it was fixed.
I left and a couple hours later his battery started to tank. Only thing we noticed was his accelerometer hung for some reason and had 5 hours on. He hadn't used anything that should have turned it on so no idea why it got stuck. Turned it off and the battery usage slowed to what one would expect. Then it had another couple minute burst of dropping. that was the last I heard.

The one thing I've notice about my phone is that when looking at my wireless icon in the notification bar, there is something transmitting 90% of the time (download it appears as it is just the bottom arrow blinking). It does this even when sync is turned off. I've gone through the phone and I can't see any app running. Has anyone else noticed this?

If your battery life is ****, return it. Currently running Stock, rooted and unlocked with dormancy fix.

I had this same issue on 4.3, I always turn my tablet off at night when I'm not using it.
I left it at about 45% when I turned it off, turned it on the next day and it was at 15%. It also doesn't vibrate when you turn it off anymore so I have a farfetched suspicion that the tablet doesn't actually turn off anymore on 4.3.

I'm on 4.2 and have this issue every once in a while. Happened just two nights ago actually. Put it away at around 85%, next day nothing. Had to leave it plugged in for around 15 minutes before the charging screen would even come on.
I have never had this happen but it sounds strangely familiar to the Red Light Of Death on the Nexus 4. It wasn't common on it, but happened to enough people that if was definitely a real issue.
Essentially peoples devices would go dark for no apparent reason (off), wouldn't power on or anything and when they would plug in to charge it the device wouldn't turn on and the LED notification light would blink red. Most phones sprung to life after leaving it plugged in from 15m to an hour. Upon booting up they had 0% battery.

Similar issue here. Had it at something about 70% for two days and one night. When I went to use it I found that it had turned off due to low battery. Did the same routine again the last few days from 38% and I still have 25% left after browsing the web for an hour. Battery stats don't show anything, perhaps because it died and I had to charge it for awhile (until It got to around 50%). Idk what the issue is, but usually this tablet does really well on standby. Not too big of a deal, but this is like the 3rd time it's happened and I'm afraid that over time this could damage the battery.
It does sound like an app is eating the battery, but I would think it would have to be a system app if we're all having the issue. Media server is quite high on my list right now. (60% with 1d 9hrs on battery and 1 hour of screen time.)
I don't play locally stored content, so Idk what's up with this mediaserver thing. Does anyone know what media server does exactly? googleing it gave me a variety of answers, but local content streaming seemed to come up a lot. lol. Still seems unnecessarily high compared to my gs3's reading of only 6% used by the media server.
I restarted and will charge it again and see if it's still an issue.
sorry for the delay. last night i had it fully charged (took forever to get to 100%) and then unplugged and shut it off... today at 5pm i turned it on for the first time and it was safe to say everything seemed fine.. battery still at 100%
as far as the apps running goes... i always close em out when im done... i use advance task killer to keep it that way. (also use it on my evo 3d). so usually just the system stuff runs in background.. but regardless... so far so good... maybe it was just a hiccup? idk... ill keep this updated for the next maybe 3 nights and let everyone know
Here's some pix off the random issue

Please post your battery life discussion here:
Phone battery impact with Android wear.
Anyone any idea of the impact to the phones battery when connected to a watch all day?
My Nexus 5 battery life is pretty poor anyway, just wondering how it will cope when connected to the wearable!?

Your phone and the watch will use Bluetooth 4.0 which is really battery friendly. Not sure on the actual percentage though

I have an Xperia Z2 and the battery will usually last 36-48 hours on a charge, with my pebble connected all the time, but without the pebble connected i only get about 50 ish hours, so it doesnt make too much of an impact, im guessing the LG G Watch will do a similar amount of drain as its only pulling info over Bluetooth again so shouldnt drain too much.

Thanks for the info.
Just to throw in some info on the battery life of the watch. Mine has never gone below 40% by end of day with normal use so don't worry about the watch dieing, if that was even a concern. Its hard for me to weigh in on phone battery life, I have the Flex and I'm getting about 2 days one charge, unless I game for hours with it. I Think its adding a few hours.
Took my watch off charge at 7:50am today its now 15:10PM and I have 65% battery still.
Using following settings :
1. Screen always on
2. Show cards even when screen dimmed
3. Alert on phone and watch
4. Brightness level - 1
Usage has been quite High because its the first day I have used it, sent about 20 Texts and done some maths with it, also it seems there are problems with the software and after awhile it seems to disconnect from my nexus 5 even if the software on my phone thinks its still paired.
As for phone battery its reporting in battery stats nothing regarding android wear, and im at 60% battery from the morning and i have hardly used my phone apart from trying to figure out why stuff is refusing to pair or even work.
I also use CM11 nightlys and the snapdragon battery app on my N5 this might have something to do with all the disconnects

Yea, I would say if you aren't using a stock configuration there might be something else going on with your phone. All the reviews and impression videos I've seen haven't mentioned anything about frequent disconnects.

Screen on, brightness 2, been replying to texts all day, the G Watch has been off the charger since 06:00 and it's now 01:32 (19.5 hours on) and I've still got 40% left.
Can't really fault it. I just drop my G Watch on the charger every night when I go to bed. Easy.

Well I am glad to hear I won't have to worry about it during the day. My S4 however... Dead in 6 - 8 hours under moderate use. Hope this keeps phone screen off more to help

Ditching the Snapdragon app has solved some disconnects, however it still disconnects at least 2 to 3 times a day.
Still on the same CM build, untill its been running for a week will i swap to another CM build to see if there is issues with the CM bluetooth
Zero disconnects on stock. ?

How's the battery life on Nexus 5 when it's paired with the Watch?
I assume that, aside from bluetooth, the Watch will use up some portion of the phone's battery for location services and other partial wakelocks?

Do you leave it on charge all night? Is it OK to do this? I've been taking it off charge when it's done and then powering it off at night. There should be a way to power off the screen while charging.
9am to 8pm and still 65% remaining
7am to 8.30pm 83% with 'screen always on unticked'

Wear 100% / Nexus 5 100% Battery at 7AM
Its now 9:15pm and G watch is at 62% and Nexus 5 is at 68%
I reckon you could go 30 Hours before needing to charge both devices.
Wear from 8am to 9pm 55% remaining. Less than average day for notifications. It killed my G2 though. Had battery saving on for location. But it really chewed it. Just one day. I disabled location reporting again. Will see if that has any effect on phone battery vs any loss of functionality on the wear. But I'm very happy so far.

Watch on since 7am to 9:30pm. Watch at 13% and phone at 64% with 1.5 hours on screen time.
I am now using my phone about 50% less.
Love it!
