Hey guys, I just wanted to know how long the Battery lasts in your Ace.
For example my Ace has to be charged almost every day.
When playing a lil bit or surfing the internet (Wifi/2G) my battery looses 10% or sometimes even more in just an hour.
On the other side, i've heard from other people, who's batterys last almost two days (and they're using their phones, not just standby).
So i'd like to compare my batterytime with you guys .
I'm on KPE (not Villainrom, not yet ^^) and most of the time i get arround 24 hours plus or minus some hours, depending on the daily use.
Charge my ace every day with 70 or so percent left. The phone will probably last a day or two.
Battery:
2.3.3 (KPE) - www,email, games(ex DragRacing, FruitNinja) ~11h
2.3.3 (KPE) - sms, talks ~ 55h (record)
Villainrom (wipe battery) - (2G,synchronization off )www,email, games ~6h
im gettin 3 days with wifi,facebook,games,surfing and took some pics use battery calibrater for these results
how s possible, 55 hours, you didnt use the phone correct?
and about what mr galaxyaceking said; im gettin 3 days with wifi,facebook,games,surfing and took some pics use battery calibrater for these results, how do you calibrate the battery??
there is a app for battery calibration,also im srry i meant 2 days

55h - only talk, zero www,email,etc
A colleague from the forum ..... his record 3d 18h record (image). It would be more, but need to connect phone via USB. He made a few calls and sms.
mine lasts 40-70 hours with 2G only,some wifi internet,games(fruit ninja,fishin2go), talking, and no synchronization. but record is 98 with minimal usage
Mine is sucks...
Sync always on for: gmail, g-reader, contacts, & calendar.
SMS about 5-10 times
Call duration for +/- 15 minutes.
Internet for bworsing without images >.<
Games: doodle frops, frozen bubble, fruit ninja, etc
Discharge @ 07:00 gonna find charger in hurry @ 12:00 something.
ACE battery life for me is sucks!
It almost feels like like there are differenty quality-types of batterys. Some people get arround 2 days while really using it, while some other people can't even get through the day...

Here is my fact:
For using market (downloading with EDGE) and browsing (without loading images) my discharge rate is @ 12% - 15% an hour. You can test by your self.
I dare you to use 3G
How come people said they phone last for 3 days?
It'll happen when you don't use your phone at all. I bet 3 days is 90% standby 10% usage.
When I use GPS( SYGIC ) my phone hardly lasts for about 4-5 hrs (I dont use GPS continuously). When I play games such as scooter hero, angry birds, doodle jump etc and wifi always connected it lasts for about 12 hrs. And one more thing I'm always on 2G.

i agree, i donno how they get the battery life with the kind of usage they have. i use half of it yet it struggles to last 9 hours.
i am thinking of getting those 1500amh battery that are in ebay, a few users have used it and got 2 days worth life with full usage.
@Bluffyone
is it possible to use an other Battery like 1500amh / 1700amh without problems for the hardware?

yeah thats to be considered but few works. and they are cheap so can be tried out if ur lucky then they might work better than the stock.
@C0ldie
these batteries are specifically made for samsung ace only and so it is usable
and using the SGS battery in SGA will not work, or does it?
i havent seen anyone doing that so i cant say

Its normal if your ace only last for 10-12 hours if your always on 3g(downloading,browsing,etc) and gaming. I have 3 samsung phones(ace,sgs,wave1) and their battery goes down very fast if I switch on the 3g/wifi and when im playing games on it.
Without 3g/wifi. Around 40 sms a day and few calls my Ace last for 2 days.

When do you guys think the RAZR will see any release of Cyanogenmod? I need to know if I should get this phone over the Nexus or not, and I think that right now, that's a big deciding factor.
I really want Vanilla on this phone.
Wrong section, but if you want ICS you had better get a Nexus. This thing doesn't even have a proper recovery yet and we won't even begin to see real ICS ports until the Nexus is released.
Reason being is that even though ICS source was released, developers are still trying to rig 4.0 to work with Gingerbread kernels. Until the Nexus is released and phones begin to get OTA 4.0 updates with working and updated kernels, you will not see a true ICS port.
Obviously that is all going to take some time, at best probably a few weeks to a month after the Nexus drops.
I honestly do enjoy my Razr, but no removable battery, horrible battery life and the lack of ROM options are all clear reasons to swap it for the Nexus when that drops
I have great battery life. I have frozen alot of bloat, gps off, 4g off, background data off(i check stuff manually), unnecessary stuff set to autokill in stock task manager. Phone is used heavy for 9 1/2 hour work day and still typically 55-60% left. Overnight 1% drain per hour on standby(using circle battery widget for reference). Its all in the configuration. Motorola has superior voice quality and minimal dropped calls. IMO of course...

How on earth can you guys be experiencing that great battery life??? I went to a wedding today and the phone lasted from 11am until 7pm (8 hours) and I used the camera/camcorder for 30 minutes total. I had GPS on but Wi-Fi off the entire time. I run stock unrooted software. The battery isn't awful... but not being able to promptly pop in another battery is a FAIL of epic proportion on behalf of Motorola.

Lies. My RAZR lives on the charger and I will be returning it to Verizon pz, can't stand the horrible battery life.
We could as easily call you a liar. Each persons use is different.just because it does not match your results does not make someone a liar.
In my opinion, this Razr battery shows a great deal of how "battery conditioning" can improve your experience.
well my Razr battery works horribly in first 3 days and then it started getting much much better.
Now, a week and 2 days after I bought the phone, I am experience the similar battery life as someone there said.
1% drop per hour on standby in the night. easily got 24 hours of usage even with
10 hours in office on LTE (but not active use because I need to work), generally 1. 30-40 mins call
2. check email/facebook once per hour for 10 hours day time on LTE
3. check email/facebook play with the phone once per half hour at home on wifi with 4G data disabled
4. taking 10+ pictures
5. read kindle book 20 mins each on return trips between home/work
6. watched Google Videos REnted movie for 1 hour
pretty much above is the normal usage for me for a PHONE. (slight more than moderate)
quite impressed by such battery life.

Not lies. I get about ~15hrs with moderate/average use, 7-8 with very heavy and 18-20 with light. The first 3 days it did poorly on battery, but fully letting it cycle down and charge back up so it's conditioned has let it hit its stride. LTE is on and in use all the time and I have 2 Exchange/push accounts running. Only things I keep off unless using is wifi, standalone GPS and bluetooth, why leave that on if I'm not using it? And I keep the brightness fairly low but not 0 and that dim option unchecked. Don't use smart actions. ~75 apps installed with the usual FB stuff syncing.
The Razr is easily the best VZ LTE phone on battery, though I hear the Rezound is ok too. Overall it's been a hair less than my X. Not sure why some of you have such abysmal life, something tells me you're in a fringe area with a lot of network flipping without realizing it, or have something installed/not configured right.
The LTE Nexus is worse. Hearing high single digit hours with only moderate usage from someone testing it. Sure you can swap, but if it can't make it on average use for < 12hrs, it's not good IMO.

Your phone is defying physics if its LiIon battery can be "conditioned". Hint: there's no conditioning or break-in with these batteries.

Maybe not in a physical sense. But I certainly noticed it too. Fully charging and depleting does help the batterystats.bin

He's right. Your phone gets better battery life the first couple days you use it not because the battery is being "conditioned" but because the phone's software learns how to utilize the battery better -- in laymans terms.
Oops
I nearly posted a response to all this *****ing about battery life to say that if we could just get CM7 onto this phone, it'd help quite a bit with battery life (even more so if we could manage a custom kernel, too). Then I realized that's how this thread was started. Where did we go wrong?
Oh why should someone lie?? LOL, RAZR is the best smartphone I have ever come across on battery life...

Indeed! I'm at 50% still after HEAVY usage and I unplugged it at 7am..

Since this thread has mutated into a battery thread I'll chime in as well. I have been getting amazing battery life the past few days. As stated above, the first few days are a gong show but it really does settle out and get much stronger. I'm not going to get into what my use is etc but I will say I am coming home with 20-30% more than what I was with my Desire Z, Sensation and Galaxy S after the same full day at work.
+1 for Motorola phones running CM. Ive had my Photon since August and just flashed CM7 build from the Photon forums and its wonderful. Just keep in mind that Motorola uses some of the BEST hardware. Their products hold strong through the years of abuse. I stuck it out with blur until CM7 was ported over to the photon. If i was on the razr, id do the same thing. Good things come in time. Phones work the best having good radios in them, without a good radio its just a good looking paper weight. Stick with Motorola and you will be impressed.
Long story short, I bought the HTC EVO 4G LTE (The US carrier, Sprint's variant on the HTC One X). Sprint has a 14 day return policy. For me, it ends on Saturday. I'm considering the GSIII.
But the most important thing is, how's the battery life? How well does it do when you're using 3G?
But most importantly, how badly does heavy texting (as in, new text messages every minute for about 4 hours) effect the battery?
I text all day long from 8am to 8pm (medical school ) and WhatsApp/xda app. Lasts the whole day. But I run in edgge not 3g

I'm in the same boat as you. I love the screen on the Evo but the battery life and multitasking issues have got me strongly considering the GS3.
I've been haunting the forums here and it seems like people are getting amazing battery life. There are many people posting screenshots of 5-6 hours screen on time. I've even seen some that exceed that. By contrast my Evo has been running 3.5-4 hours. That's less than what I was getting on my OG Evo (of course it was rooted and running a custom ROM/kernel ).
I just went and spoke with my Sprint representative about what I'd need to do to make the exchange. I'm 95% sure I'm going to pull the trigger on this switcharoo.
Best of luck in your decision!
Was quite bad at first, but something changed.. now it's awesome. 15 hours and 70% left. Moderate usage and 3G/HSPA+
Do you know what changed to your phone?? 15 hours with 70% left is amazing How often were you using the phone ?
The battery life is fantastic. Just turn off the crappy S-Voice features that wait for your voice input.
How long is the screen-on time? I seriously doubt texting requires heavy usage of the radio. So, the screen is obviously going to be the biggest drain on the battery.
Battery life is misleading straight out of the box. The starting charge is completely out of sync with the phone.
I had to run my battery dry and full charge it to calibrate the battery properly. Once I did, then battery% values balanced out and phone has been a dream ever since.

it was with moderate usage (lots of texts, a few calls, a bit of game play, but not much) and I turned on power saving when I wasn't using the phone(don't know whether this actually does anything when the phone is asleep anyway... and off when I was). Don't have s-voice running (disabled it manage applications menu), turned off motion as I never used it, turned off NFC, S-Beam and Wifi-Direct (some of which were turned on by default! and this is SUCH a battery killer)...
Basically turned off everything that I don't use.. and saved a hell of a lot of juice.

I think the longest I got was almost 30 hours, thats using whatsapp, heywire, facebook and skype here and there and tinkering around in the marketplace. I had most of the settings switched off as you did...just noticed I had nfc on...switched that off too now. I just joined the android community, switched over from my Iphone this week when I got the SG3 so im still getting used to it
I think because of the quad procesor the 2.100mah wasent enough.It is very good!All day from the morning with 100% with full brightness,wifi,download gameloft games,gps, and i had 20% the next morning!!With custom roms will improved more!!

24 hours gets me to about 20%. That's with WiFi on all the time. Pretty good yea?
Almost 24 hours with heavy usage, on my previous S II it took two charges or extra battery for same (smsing, surfing, calling, half of time on wifi etc...) always on 3g

I will agree with the above statements. I use the 2x battery app and I have moderate daily use which gets me at the end of the day around 10:30 from 8am to around 45-48%. That is with 3g when the screen is unlocked a bit of wifi, web browsing and tapatalk, a phone call or 2 etc. I have disabled all apps i don't use as well and run the stock kernel and no roots

I managed to get the 99% battery issue sorted!
I have used he external battery charger on my 2nd battery and today I thought of trying the new battery for the first time to get some cycles on. Guess what?
The samsung desktop charger powers the battery all the way. I have now 100% on the new one and it dropped as I'm typing now after a good 5minutes of operation, unlike it used to do which was immediatelly after unplugging the charger from the phone.
So I presume that goes with the original assumption that the phone does not overcharge the battery for lifespan purposes. Why would the desktop charger would though?

I'm now giving this method a try.
Charging up my spare battery with the Samsung desk stand/charger.
---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------
Interesting.
I've found the same as above with the 99% issue.
Having charged my spare battery up in the phone, I've then put it in the external charger, which after another 10-15 minutes charge, the LED turned from red to green.
Having now put that battery back into the phone, the battery is still on 100% after being unplugged for more than 30 mins.
Usually, the battery would have dropped to either 99% or 98% as soon as it was unplugged.
So, it would seem that the desktop charger does charge the battery up to the full capacity, while the phone itself, seems to stop at 97-98%. Weird.
Since people only post on negative battery experience while the happy ones are silent, I will break the silence.
I have and use the One X+ (international non-LTE, in central Europe) for one week. Today, I just used it to browse web for several hours (browser was consuming 55% at time of screenshot) and read some pdf (pdf viewer was consuming 17%; I flipped about 200 pages in fast way as it was mildly boring ebook with big fonts so no zooming). There were about 10 minutes of web or youtube video too.
The screenshot shows battery graph at 38% of battery left, after 8 hours since plugged.
I guess (based on the screenshot bars and based on the actual usage) the screen-on time was about 60% (so between 4.5 and 5 hours).
Boo at HTC for removing screen-on time counter.
Google now is off.
Mobile data is off.
WiFi is on.
Power saver mode is off.
Brightness was automatic, usually around 30%.
No extra battery monitor was running (they may affect battery while measuring too).
Stock rom, one OTA update was performed.
Android version 4.1.1
Build 1.17.401.1
I have never managed to fully discharge the battery so its measurements may not be fully calibrated.
no problems here
This phone has great life for me. The only times I've had a problem getting a full day was when I first got it and basically didn't put it down. Since then I usually have 30-50% left at the end of the day. I wonder what some people do to drain the battery so much...

I disagree.
I don't game at all. I get about 10-14hrs of battery life with 1-2hrs of screen time with most of that running on LTE and with Power Saver ON. That is OK, but not great at all. I would like to get that type of battery life with 3-4 hours screen time and using Navigation. I think for people that use their phone for work and travel for work, you ideally need 16hrs battery life with 3-4 hours screen time with some GPS/Navigation. Don't think this phone will every get there.
I've finally got my IT to give me WIFI access at work to avoid 3G/LTE and today I'm testing if Juice Defender is better than Power Saver mode, but based on my current drain, I don't sure i'll make it to 16hrs.
In either case, I found the drain while running Navigation to be HUGE (40%+/h) and if Power Saving mode is OFF the phone will overheat as well (55C/130F).
Still I love this phone, but hope I can find a way to squeeze as much battery as possible. When I look over to say the Nexus 4 forum, I'm a bit envious on what those users are achieving on their batteries.

I'm debating switching from the N4 to the HOX+ but the battery is one huge concern. I traded a RAZR HD for a HOX+ and i should have it tomorrow so i can compare the two. I've been averaging between 4 and 5 hours of screen time per day, with my best being 5h 31min. The only thing that I'm thinking will help my case for the OX+ is that i will only use it on hspa+ instead of LTE.

Well, I choose the HOX+ mainly because you can't buy a N4, unless you go to the aftermarket and pay a premium. Also the 16GB is just not enough and LG lost me a customer coming from the LG G2x. Plus in Canada, there's not much benefit buying a phone off-contract. I was off-contract for the past 3yrs and my experience wasn't any better than the the providers that lock you in. That said, I'm guessing you will see better battery on your N4 compared to the HOX+...but hey, I don't either will come close to the RAZR HD for battery life.

As you see i got 37hours with 3h screen time.... so about same as you.
All connection ON all the time (wifi, 3g)
Sync on
Power saver ON.
Some gaming, web browsing, social apps, calling, texting and stuff (see app usage screenshot)
p.s. my phone is stock and unrooted and i dont use any power saver apps or anything like that. Just stock power saver option.
Oh and i played one game with power saver off, not for long tho. (was tegra3 game, that racing game, you can see it in screenshot)

Maybe I've not been using it for heavy gaming, but in the month I've had the phone, I've not run into any serious battery issues. If this were an issue, I'd probably install JuiceDefender, and configure it as per my schedule so push E-mails are not constantly keeping the radio on, as well as throttling CPU back.
I also have a charger in my car, so if I'm on the road, it gets charged.
my battery life usually gets me through the day until about 7pm with around 3hrs screen on time so i cant complain too much. i listen to music a lot and text heavily
Yeh. I dont thjnk ive seen better battery from any hox+ posted here. Ive seen 5hr screen time but the total run time is 6hrs.

I might have a bad car charger, but when I'm running Navigation, it still drains the battery at 10%/h.
I think I do have higher battery life expectations. I tested with Juice Defender yesterday, and basically it provides around the same benefit as running in Battery Saver mode. Got 2hrs screen time with 14 hrs total run time while mostly connected to WIFI (maybe 2hrs or so connected to HSPA/LTE). Again this is OK...but not great.
Today I am testing with both JD and Power Saver on and will report back. It's the last day of my 14 day return/exchange policy and I'm planning to keep the HOX+. I have a very slight inclination to change to LG Optimus G as I believe it has the potential to get the same battery life as the Nexus 4. But I'm scared as hell about the LG support and the if people think the Dev community is thin here, it's basically a ghost town there. That said, it looks like they have a good build for CM 10.1.
Here is my best battery stat for HOX+, no games mainly whatsapp use with wifi on. Few voice calls and sms.

How many hours of battery life are you getting out of your galaxy note 2 ...Do you disable wifi at and data at night .Another question when I have wifi and data enabled I noticed that wifi overides data so does data do anything to the battery since wifi over rode it ..Im trying to find out wheather or not I should just disbale certian featured and have longer battery life or just purchase an extra battery and carry that around just in case I will admit one thing the battery on the note 2 is definitely good but I question when people say they get two days of battery how much usage and are they disabling wifi and data at night ? I want to get 8 hours of on screen time it seems like I might get 6 1/2 to 7 hours with a day and a half of usage but rarely two days unless im on the phone lightly like 2 hours a day maybe 3 depending on what app im using thats hogging battery life
Did you have a bad experience with a phone charger Bro? LOL
The more you disable the better but at what point does saving battery become more useful than using the phone.
I understand the obsession because I had it with my nexus so I'm not judging people that worry about it but I use this phone for work and fun with 6+ hours day screen on and I am loving that I only charge when I go to bed and don't have to worry about it again.
Mine lasts all day and I'm on it all the time. Either texting, listening to music, email ect. Maybe you have an app running it down prematurely?
I've also bought 3 extra batteries. Their so cheap. So I have one charged up and ready to go no matter what...LOL
No offence but these threads are so useless. Yesterday I got 5 hours screen time and only 11 hours. I average 7.5 hours and over 16 hours. So what's my point? it depends on location, what you're doing, what apps you have etc.
Finally you could have looked at the huge battery life thread or one of the 5 others.

True story, we all have the same phone. If its dying on you, its what YOU'RE doing

If you want a reason to worry about Battery get a Nexus or Droid Charge and you will have plenty to worry about! These were my last two phones and I obsessed about battery. Now I don't worry.

True it last me all day no matter what I do that said its on the charger till I wake up and charging when in the car
As long as your not running too much in the background, you should AT LEAST get 5+ hours of screen time a day.

Just curious if anyone runs JuiceDefender? Perhaps I'm just paranoid about 4G sucking down my battery but I do hate hitting my wifi and mobile data toggles every day.

Nope, don't need it. I went through the whole micromanaging battery with OG Evo and the Galaxy Nexus. You don't need to do any of that on this phone. It has what I call "second generation" LTE radios, they are much more power efficient, and management of wifi and other radios is also improved. I leave 4G, Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS and Google sync on all the time. Battery usage is consistently 10% per hour when screen is on, and 1% per hour when in standby connected to Wifi or good LTE signal, dropping to 1.25% in weaker signal areas. Voice uses about 1% per 5 minutes talk time.
