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.

Is this average? I am looking to at least get 3-4 hrs screen time on this phone.
Thanks in advance!

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

Same. I usually get around 5 on screen time with 12-15 off charger.

Judging by the screenshot how many hours of screen time do you guys think he currently has? I might trade him his DNA is practically less than a month old.

I have absolutely no clue, nor would anyone else. If you really want to know his on screen time ask him to install gsam.

+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.

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.
Sent from my Limited Edition HTC6435LVW
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.

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

Good job HTC
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.

same, i'm still on performance...thats hwy i dont like those built in settings..i want to change stuff to how I use it, ya know? i keep sync on for google, facebook and weather, and that's how i want it haha
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.
ok so i hate to start another battery thread but i'm a little confused...this is my first android phone and to me my battery won't even last 12 hours...i feel that's pretty low....i've read stuff about wakelocks and stuff but how do i find out how to stop them? here are my specs.... i'm rooted with UnNamed and siyah kernel....heres some screen shots taken when battery was at 3%....maybe you guys can help??

How much screen on time did you have? how long has it been since you flashed your current set up?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
sorry forgot that shot....i rooted and flashed on either Sunday or Monday this week.....now i do use bluetooth for work so i'm thinking that kills the battery big time....
That is kind of good battery life considering you got almost four hours of screen on time. If your really worried then you should get one of the 3500 mah batteries. I have this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21589969. This battery gets me through at least a day and a half of heavy usage, and it works great for the price.
yeah i wasn't sure...i always keep reading about people getting 1.5-2 days on a battery...it's a new toy so hopefully when the excitement wears off that screen won't be on so much
That's exactly what will happen. You have new phone syndrome. I did too, when I first got my Galaxy S2. Except that I, unlike you, was running stock unrooted, and my battery life was more like 8 hours. I'm now running stock rooted with Entropy's kernel, plus I don't use my phone as much, and I get between 15 and 20 hours.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah...with almost 4 hours screen on, and mostly on cell data (assumption based on your 2.x hours of wifi on) that isn't too horrible. Your total awake time is about an hour more than screen on, so assuming you had phone calls, music playing, or some other screen off background task to account for some of that, you're doing pretty good...

LOL so I'm guessing the best way to really conserve battery is to keep the screen off. Just outta curiousity (which I will test tonight after full charge) what is an acceptable drop rate when phone is fully asleep for say 8 hours or so. Like what 1-2% an hour?

I think the best I have seen reported is 0.5% per hour. Mine on wifi has been as good as about 0.8% per hour, but usually a little over 1%.

2%/hour idle drain I consider bad - that's why I haven't released a kernel since 1/2/2012 - I have a power management regression that pushes drain to a bit over 2%/hour when connected to wifi.
I strive for 0.5%/hour and get very close to that frequently when in a good signal area. In a weak signal area (like at my desk at work), it's around 1%/hour.
4.5%/hour or so is the idle drain you'll get if the phone is unable to enter deep sleep.
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.

yea i wan to know that too.. 5 hours of screen time is just too awesome
I get around 5 hours screen on after a whole day, too. My impression after the first week owning the phone was "the battery is so awesome!!!"
If I stay at home and use wifi all the time, I can get up to 6.5 hours screen on. I notice that my phone drains the battery faster if I repeatedly check the clock or text messages. I guess turning the display on and off too many times affects the battery quite a bit.
But anyway, it's not that awesome when you compare to the Note 3. That thing gets 8 hours screen on after a 20 hour period (and she goes to college during the day where the signal is not that good which also drains battery faster than normal). I'm kinda jealous, lol.
Well the AMOLED screen on the note 3 is supposed to be more friendly to batteries compared to the Super LCD on mega. Plus it's smaller than mega. On the other side you got a much bigger screen on mega that note users envy.

I THINK THERE ARE SOME MEGA different FROM OTHERS.
MINE HAVE DIFFICULT TO REACH 5 HOUR... AND I SAY I USE wifi AND 2G........I DON'T KNOW WHY MY MEGA IS NOT A GOOD BATTERY PERFORMER.
Coming from a note 1, when i got my mega i bought a spare battery. And i have basically never needed to use it. So, yes, would agree, in comparison, battery life is awesome. I also use green power to switch off stuff with screen off and overnight, and it works nicely.

I was able to get 5.5 hours of on screen time with the phone being on for 17 hours.
That is with a mix of youtube, phone calls, small amount of Netflix for testing, watching a movie from SD Card.
I left the Wifi on the whole time as you can see with one of the screen shots. I did have on Stamina mode.
This was after letting my phone charge the first time to full and not plugging in again. The down time with the phone not being used was because I left it on while I slept. In 8 hours the phone only dropped 8% while I slept (very good).
So to answer a lot of questions about the battery, it is AWESOME!

Could you give us a bit better test , like more usage , I mean screen time is great but you barely did anything in t he phone , 41% of app usage is nothing , 1 min of phone call is also nothing.
Don't get me wrong I'm interested into xzu but I'd like to see regular / intensive usage , also could you tell us which brightness you were using ?

This was Web surfing, watching Netflix, you tubing, etc. It never just sat with screen on. I actually used it the whole time.
Screen brightness was about 30% the whole time.
With the screen at 30% brightness, was the perceived brightness level pretty good? Maybe a little low? I'm curious to know, because I suspect lower brightness settings than usual will be satisfactory with this display.
Screen brightness is good. Although I have not tested it outside in the sunlight. I am going on a canoe trip tomorrow so I will be able to test the waterproof and brightness out
**** dude, be careful, lol. I'm sure the phone will be fine in the water, but I'd hate for it to slip out of your pocket and be gone down the river! You'd never find it. Makes me sick just to think of, lol.
Anyway, I am definitely getting the LTE version of this when it becomes available. Thanks for the battery and display insights.
That's why I bought the insurance haha.

In the first attached print screen with the list (phone, screen, phone radio, etc.) how did you disable the graph at the bottom to show up or how to make it disappear?, thanks
I had 18hrs 40mins of up time and 5hr 15mins of screen time. 3G/WiFi mode, Stamina mode OFF
Usage includes web surfing, facebook, messaging and video playback (1hr).
Don't worry about the brightness. ZU at 0% is brighter than S4 at -1 (lowest is -5) lol. ZU really had a bright screen.
Mine after second cycle. Not so good isn't it?

The battery capacity won't be at max after just one or two cycles. Use it for a full week and then see how it performs.
So far for me, I am down to 24% after 10 hours. I won't make it through the day since I"m still up for 5 more hours. This was on moderate usage. With Stamina Mode Enabled.
- one phone call
- three emails
- checked facebook twice, and instagram twice
- watched 20 minutes of youtube tho
- listened to music while working out for one hour
- 57 texts sent/received

I don't know, over 3.5 hours screen on time with 17% remaining seems pretty good to me. I haven't really done any formal tests, but I don't seem to get much more than about 3 hours screen on time with my Nexus 4 period, let alone with almost 20% remaining, and I can always make it through a day. This is would be an upgrade for me. The most telling thing, however, is the screen brightness. About where did you have it set?

I set it to minimum with auto brightness. So no specific number. That's acceptable to me but not so good. And we have to wait until 9 September to get the true Rom.right now only what we use is Xperia Z Rom. Not for ultra. Let's see how it goes then. Looking for better camera, screen and batt

Battery life seems to be totally acceptable, I never saw a powerful smartphone able to survive an heavy use for a full day or maybe at its time only the Nokia 6310i able to last 4/5 days of heavy use, but it was a tiny monochrome screen for a big phone and huge battery. And yet there i still no ROM/Kernel available so the battery life can be optimized.
But a question, what about the charging time?

And what is the DC current output of the Sony standard charger?
