I cracked my note 2 screen while at CES, and got the replacement in a couple days ago. As I've been playing with it, I've found I'm losing about 5% battery life per 30 minutes of screen-on time. Now, I swear I was getting better battery life than this with my last one. Have my use habits just changed now that I'm home, or is this less battery life tchan I should be getting, as I think?
Running pure stock, in an area with good reception.
If you can end up with 10 hours of screen time on a charge, I think that would be pretty good. I have never tried to get 10 hours...but I get 30 total hours with about 5 hours of screen time as my average usage. Coming from the droid charge (1 hour of screen time and maybe 8 hours total on a charge) its a dream.

I feel your pain with the Charge, that things battery life was a joke, even with LTE turned off.
So it looks like it's just my usage patterns then. Or maybe I'm just imagining it. Ah well, thanks anyways. Glad to know there's nothing wrong with it.

Just received my set today, and the battery indicator was half full when I put it on first charge
Finished to full within 1.5 hours, and I used it to surf the net for about.. 5 minutes? The battery dropped to 86%
Is this normal?
Android OS usage was 6% though... no sign of the battery drain bug.. Yet!
That happens to me too. The first 10% seems to drop real quick

On your first charge? How about subsequent charges?
I did not have a chance to load test the battery... Because of the stupid camera defect, it is now in the service centre...
No its not normal by any standards .
jje
Surely it'll get better on subsequent charges?
Does leaving GPS Satelites 'on' have anything to do with it even if Google maps is not on?
I'd give it at least a few days of normal use to see how it goes. I've had mine for a couple of weeks and the battery life has definitely gotten better. Now I easily get a full day out of it and have 20 - 40% charge left by the time I plug it in at night depending on usage.
give it two or three weeks and you should notice significantly better battery life. mine certainly improved.
Battery life has been pretty great on my EVO 3D using juice defender and SetCPU.
Switched to Sprint for this thing yesterday and I gotta agree. Coming from an SGS I've learned to be paranoid about my battery life, so when I barely see the battery draining off this thing I have myself convinced that it HAS to be a bug lol
How is your awake time so low compared to your up time!!
How can I see what is keeping my phone awake.

Because in the time that the phone has actually been powered on, its only been in use 4 hours. If he had been really using it, the battery would be down more than it is, but its still good battery life.
I agree, of all the devices have had so far, HERO, EVO 4G, EPIC, 3D. the 3D (comparing all of them on stock) has had the best battery life of them all. Heck even my Rooted EPIC with SFR 1.1.1 didnt get quite as good battery life, and it was rooted.
you guys know that the 3d has a larger battery than all those phones listed right?
still has the best battery i've used.
Well you will get amazing battery life turning the display brightness down anyday though. Still i have to agree this phone has great battery life. On auto my biggest battery drainer is the display but still I can get through all day with the phone. I unplugged the phone yesterday at 6 in the morning and at 9 at night I still had 20% battery life and that is with medium usage.
you barely used it. i can get great standby time too. but once i have the screen on and turn data on or a game you drop something like 10 percent an hour.
in the past 53 minutes ive had my screen on for 17 minutes. lost 8 percent.
Up Time: 37:49:30
Awake Time: 05:17:50
Battery Remaining - 52%
Impressed with battery life thus far.
I think the battery life is even better at 1.5 GHz and stock voltage.
well you guys are lucky cause my battery life stinks. medium usage, brightness at 30% sync accounts knocked back , no 4g and im getting 4-5 hours out of this thing which I think is terrible. something is wrong. Anyone else experiencing the same ?
how much of the battery is listed as "display"? last week while i was working i would leave my phone in my truck and come check on it an hour later to notice a 30%+ drop in battery. it would die after only being unplugged for 5 hours. but then i realized my screen wasn't ever turning off so if i got a text, notification, etc. that turned my screen on, my battery got drained idling in my truck.
rebooting usually fixed it but i think it was one of the early temp roots that really was causing it because i don't think it happens anymore
under battery usage the display is 75% percent of drain the rest is voice calls
mine is stock, no root here
Wow thats crazy my phone has an up time of 87 hours and an awake time of 69, i still have 95% battery left.
I'm dominating all of you.
Or maybe those two numbers mean nothing besides how long the phone has been on, and not anything to do with battery

Battery life is awesome on this phone. I still think its too good to be true. When I turn off mobile data, I can easily go a whole weekend without charging my phone. And that's with sending and receiving over a thousand texts, taking random drunken pics and vids, and talking on the phone for long periods of time. I only turn on mobile data when I need to sync up for fb, email and such or look up stuff, and I've pretty much been charging my phone every other day, and sometimes on the 3rd day. This alone makes this phone priceless to me and I've never been so satisfied with a phone like I am now.

All and all battery life on this phone is average. It lasts the same 9-10 hours as every other android i've owned. I spend the same amount of time doing the same things day in day out.
The only android I've ever noticed an exception was the NS4G and it had crazy battery life, easily 20 hours.
I think its better to post time the display or voice calls was used rather than percentage.
I'm at about 13 hrs usage with about 2hrs and 50 minutes with the display on. Probably close to 20% battery left

What's the maximum display "time on" people are getting? I think my max is about 3 hours
Four and a half. Turn down the brightness
My brightness is at 30% or it's supposed to be

What brightness do you use?
I typically get 3.5h on display plus 3 hours talk time, and that takes up nearly 80% of my battery.

Today I got 4.5 hours display on time, with 9 hours total battery. I was testing how long the display could remain on. I played the movie secretariat twice (4 hours total) and was still above 30 percent battery

I was getting about 3 hours of batt life with the screen on, but fixed it by doing a factory refresh, now I get about 4 hours screen on.

I get 2.5 hours continuous 4g internet browsing time. About 3-3.5 or so on 3g. Don't know yet for no data usage but I'm guessing 4 would be max maybe reading ebooks or something. Screen brightness varying since I'm in and out constantly all day. I've noticed little difference to any setting below 50%. It seems the same. It's just when I'm outside and crank it to 100% my battery suffers hard core.
Can't put this thing down. Bought a newtrent portable battery 11000 mah. Waiting for it to arrive. I'd rather carry that around then an ugly seido extended. Just an option to think about if your a heavy user/abuser. I have 2 laza batteries from amazon that are actually 1000 mah, not 1730 they stated. Been seeing that on these forums. Guess ebay isn't the only place those batteries are floating around. So I just said screw it, portable power supply.

Holy old thread, I know.. but I don't seem to see anything newer pertaining to my situation. My battery life seems to be awful lately and I did a factory reset, can't seem to figure out what the deal is. I charge it overnight and end up charging again at least once a day. 5 hours of unplugged time, down to 19%, 62% of power drawn by my display. 58 minutes of time on.. my brightness at 35%. is this normal or is my battery shot?

Take it to a Sprint Store, they will replace the battery if it is shot.

I know someone who is having the same problem, his display on time is about half of what mine is. Even with chichitec batteries the display still murders his battery life for some reason.
Do you sometimes have trouble with the backlight/screen turning on? Occasionally on his when you push the power button it appears the lockscreen is showing but you can't see it unless you look really closely at it. Turning the screen off and then back on usually fixes it though.
Hello, i bought samsung galaxy s2 2 days ago and im on the second charging, how long does it take for a battery to fully calibrate??
And what is the average battery life and charging time?
I charge arround 15% in 30min, and my battery lasted for 6 hours after the first charge is this normal for a new battery?
Sry i my english is not perfect...

1. After about 3 - 5 cycles, the battery should be perfect.
2. Charging time is about 2.5 hrs or more.
-If you leave / off your phone while charging, then it should be full in about 2.5 hrs.
-If you are playing with the phone while charging, then it will take much longer
3. Average battery life is subjective and unpredictable, because it depends on so many factors.
- For me, my battery last for about 10 hrs of moderate - heavy usage (4 hrs of screen on time in average)
4. The fact that your battery lasted for 6 hrs after first use is normal. It's just your first sleep with your newly wedded wife.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
Give it some days to fully settle and 4/5 cycles of fully charge/discharge and then the stats of you battery will be perfect (more or less).
I can get up to six and a half hours of screen usage, with a total of 15 hours of battery life

After the second charge my battery can stand for over 20h... With average use it has life for 10-12h...
How to clear the cached process in the settings - applications tab?
this depends on what apps and configuration and settings you have on your device
Takes 2.5-3 hours to charge when the phone is on and about 2-2.5 hours when the phone is of f.
As for the battery life, lol, it depends on many factors, you know roms, kernel, modem etc.i can get only three hours, because I'm a gamer.nova 3 and mc3 all day and i can get 16 hours on moderate use .6 hours of screen on
Hit thanks if i have helped you......

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the HTC U11 Life before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
So I know this is probably atypical, but as I've been on my phone a lot today, I thought I'd check my SoT when I hit 15% battery. I'm coming from an old Nexus 5, so I'm probably more easily impressed, but my phone has been on battery for ~12 hours with an estimated 2 hours of life left and a whopping ~6 hours 24 minutes of SoT. This is a heavy usage day for me, and if this is my battery expectation on a heavy day, I will never have a SoT issue with this phone.

Me too come from Nexus 5 and can only agree. I was a little concerned about the smallish battery, but it looks like it will be enough for my usage.
Right now i have:
last full charge 14h 3m
screen usage since full charge 4h 17m
and i have 53% battery left
