No matter what firmware/ROM/kernel combo I use, this issue is always there.
The problem I have is this:
I can have my phone on charge and it will charge at a rate of X.
While my phone is on charge, if I perform a reboot... it takes a humongous jump upwards.
My phone was at 14% when I put it on charge for 30 minutes and it made it to 39% I performed a reboot (~1min 30sec) and it jumped to 71% and then after 15 minutes up to 83%
The screen shot below shows this issue.
Is this normal?
Also, If I leave my phone on charge, usually overnight and the next morning when I leave its at 100% percent, it will drain fast at a rate of X
Once I get low on battery and charge it up, 100% or not, it drains a lot slower, say like .5X
I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but it's like my phone will last a lot longer charging it the second time during the day.
Hmm never seen that high of a jump after reboot, have you tried a different battery? I personally use laza batteries, I have two of them. So instead of charging using my phone, I use the external wall charger for one battery while I use the other and just cycle them.
You might wanna wiki lithium ion batteries, they behave in different ways depending on a lot of different factors

I have not tried a different battery. Never bought a 2nd one. I probably will not by another battery being that my contract ends the 27th and I will be looking to get the new DLX when it comes out. I figure I have dealt with this little issue for a yr, I can go a few more months
Was just curious if anyone has seen or had similar issues like this

Thanks for the offer, but I'm just going to hold out. When I'm in a city where the signal is constant 3g/4g i have a lot better battery life than when I'm around home and its in and out of no service / 1x / 3g
Thanks though
The optimus g will probably be my next phone and I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone could answer for me please
1.The last android phone I bought from att(like forever ago) was restricted to where I could not install apk files out of the box. I was wondering if you can install apps from apk files or if att restricted unknown sources.
2. Does usb otg work? It's not a big deal, but I'm still curious on the status of that?
3. How's the battery? I've seen a lot of different reviews with different battery lives.
4. Lastly, how do you like your optimus g?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
1. yes it works no problem
3. so far battery pretty good
4. so far like it, just hoping for bootloader to be unlocked soon and hopefully CM10 comes to optimus
usb OTG should work for some peripherals... Not sure what the resistance is on this device so like a usb keyboard may not... Usually if MHL works OTG will with some tweaking.

my battery life is abismal, on my second handset. To be honest, the quad core really doesnt equate to much, a little snappier for the user, my s3 was fantastic on battery life, and the camera was better too. I really am not seeing this phone as an upgrade, the only reason i got this device is that it might possibly get a quicker port of the nexus 4 rom, and offer lte.
I just got a day out of mine with 3+ hours of screen time first charge. I know it won't always be that way but so far I'm happy with it. I too had a gs3 and I've noticed a big speed increase on thus phone. I think it was a good upgrade. Better screen as well.

My battery life is abysmal, also! Will probably swap for Note 2 this week! But can install from other sources without any issues.
Will say the screen & CPU are just awesome!
battery was crap for me the first two days. Today it has been good so far. Streaming audio off/on since 7am est.; still at 87%.
Point is that new batteries take time to condition. I'll withhold judgment for now.

LOL, I literally replaced an xperia x10 with a LGOG, last Friday. It's a HUGE jump in performance. First battery cycle was less than idea (~10 hrs of more than moderate use), but after, I turned off a few items that didn't need to be running (e.g., wifi) and set some reasonable parameters on sync frequency, I had 30% battery, last night, before going to bed, after 15 hrs of moderate use.
AT&T gives you 14 days to find out if you like it or not. It takes several charge discharge cycles to get the anode and cathode in the battery all excited and functioning at peak efficiency. You people that rage at poor battery after a couple of days drive me crazy.

Battery is non removable, so if you need a spare, you may need to wait for a charging case like they have for the iPhone.

I have progressed from an international s3 (i9300) to a Google Nexus (which I liked better even though no LTE, Google Wallet made up for that). I just replaced the Nexus, whose power button died, with the Optimus G. If I could get Google Wallet to work it would be the best of the three.
No one has mentioned the feel of the G versus the S3. It feels much more substantial and solid. The quad-core and LTE make it super fast.
Lastly, I am hoping that it will be easy to port the Nexus 4 ROM to the Optimus G leaving me with a Quad-core LTE Nexus 4.

It will depend on the kind of use that you give to the phone and how you administer the use of the Eco Mode, Bluetooth and GPS.
I have it with Facebook, Twitter, 2 Gmail accounts, 1 Exchange account, almost all Google apps installed, watch at least 3 youtube videos (during free time at the office), texting all day long, Twitter, 4g and LTE most of the day, Wifi at home, brightness in 60%, GPS off (Except for Ingress) and I have it in Eco Mode except when I'm playing. Power Saver active at 50% and all that give me from 6am to close to 9pm (depending on the day).
The main things that drains the battery on the device (by my experience) is:
- Brightness over 75%
- GPS
- Bluetooth is a killer
- Camera is another killer
all that without Eco Mode and you will eat the battery in less than 6 hours.
I got some NFC stickers for the house, office and car, helping me enable and disable features along the way during the day and it helps with the battery a lot (only have enabled what's necessary at the right place).
Hope it helps.

I too am leaning very heavily towards the LGOG versus the Nexus 4 (possibly even the HTC One X+). I'm coming from a Dell Streak whose battery has seen it's better days (about 4-5 hours on a full charge). I definitely know I'm in for a treat as far as performance goes no matter which way I go, but I'm wondering how long it will take to get a 4.2 port on the LGOG. As a non-dev, I'm totally clueless on the process, but my thinking is that there can't be many differences between the two.
My main questions is now that it looks like the LTE radio may actually work link for the N4, is the only difference going to be the sd slot? Granted that is a huge + in the OG column, but so is software updates for the N4 if it's going to be a difficult port. I know that this is a new phone and the bootloader was just unlocked, but realistically, what kind of updates from the dev community can we expect for this device?

Agreeing with this post. I have an Inspire 4g as well and my battery lasts for 2 days without charging, and it's the same battery I bought the phone with 3 years ago.
Stop asking about battery life and learn to condition it. You'll save a lot of money.
As far as I know, the LGOG is a FANTASTIC phone.
Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Sounds like you have a faulty device. My battery life has been nothing but excellent compared to my Galaxy Nexus. Also, the SGS III is going to get about the same battery life as the DNA.
Download the GSAM Battery app and see what is eating up your battery.
I would also love to find something like this case here http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-PRO-iPhone-4-battery-case-p/2175_jppro-ip4-org.htm. I am coming from the Rezound myself where I always had 3 Extended batteries with me in case I killed the battery. I do think the DNA gets alot better batery life then the Rezound, however I still have to charge it 3 or 4 times in a day. I would love it if there was a case like this build for the DNA.

3-4 times a day? May I ask what you're doing that requires that? I can push 13-15 hours off the charger with 5-6 hours of screen time on.

Somethings wrong with your phone if you have to charge it 4 times in a day. There aren't enough hours in a day for that to be necessary. Even if you don't sleep and never put your phone down.

I don't need to charge my phone that often, its just I never like the idea of having by battery below 50% just in case I need to go somewhere spur of the moment where I may not be able to charge my phone either of a wall charger or car charger. I also love to play various games on my phone a lot throughout the day to waste time, play a lot YouTube for my kids, I stream all of my music since there is a huge lack of storage on this device & also have to rely on Dropbox for all of my pictures and videos. I know that I could probably get away with letting my phone go down to around 15% or so and then charging it fully and then go on about my day from there, however I just never know when I may have to leave.

I also would like to find a battery case for the HTC DNA similar to PowerSkins Battery Cases. Not because the battery is horrible on the HTC DNA but because I want to put my mind at ease for when I don't have my charger because I'm in a different car and I need to navigate to a place I've never been or something else that takes a lot of power. People see me as a computer geek and as so expect me to be able to whatever on my phone at a moments notice. Which sucks when we are at a checkout and need to use someone elses number for a pin and my battery is dead.

I don't believe this is the typical way to guage a battery's life span. Basically what you are saying is that you would need to charge your battery from empty twice a day. Given the amount of use put on your phone that is extremely good. That's about 10 hours of screen on time and there are very few phones that come close to that. The note2 being the one exception I can think of off the top of my head. It's not a problem with your phone it's a symptom of how you use it.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not trying to talk down the battery performane of the DNA. I am just rough on my phones and have always been. I don' ever remember getting a full day use out of a smart phone except for when I used the EVO 3D with a Seidio 4,000 MAh extended battery. I have always been the kind of person that doesnt feel like I should limit use or features on my device just to conserve battery drain, I do know that this is all my choice and I have to deal with it. I am just looking for a good battery case or an external battery pack like this one http://www.amazon.com/13000mAh-External-Portable-Blackberry-Motorola/dp/B008AQLHFI.

Bought two anker batteries at the same time I bought the phone, the Samsung battery is still in the box and I've never used the phone to charge. Swap the battery between the phone and charger every second morning, it's the first smart phone I've not had to worry about battery life.

I've always been a battery swapper since the early Nokia days. Can't bear the thought of not having a fresh battery there ready to go when I am. No waiting for phone to charge at the last minute when heading out of the door.
Ah, maybe I should note that for most tasks I use my Nexus 7 :laugh:. Oops-a-daisy. I use Galaxy S 3 mainly for music and when I study on bus. No gaming or movies.

boomboomer I was looking at the anker batteries when i first got the phone last year too.. but ended up going with this official samsung kit that had a spare that game with it. What capacity Anker's did you end up getting? I had a look at those big 4400mAh ones as a backup for when travelling overseas but never went through with getting one.
the one thing i hated about the iphone 4 I had last was waiting for sufficient charge whenever I had to quickly be somewhere unexpectedly. Some times Id go out for a few beers in the evening with a low charge thinking id be home soon.. end up having many, many more and so Id end up with a dead phone as im trying to find a way home.
Can honestly say that I havent ever had that issue again since investing in this phone and extra battery haha.
The ankers are the same physical size as the standard battery, just 2200mAh. The only draw back is the capacity drops quickly once below 10%, but I usually swap battery when it gets below 20%.

I use one. love it. All Samsung Galaxy S III phones ships with an extra battery so why not use it? So convenient to have one always charged in the battery charger and your phone charged with wireless charging. Qi!
R: [Q] Anyone else use spare battery?
I bkught a 2800mah battery a while ago...great, lasts a lot.
If i ever need another battery i will put back the old one...i could of course get ANOTHER 2800 and then keep switchingg it...but it would be tiresome...thats why they made rechargeable batterues in the first place...as soon as the battery wears out (5months my guess it will be 40-50% worse than when u first started using it) get another one. If you go on a trip and forget the charger, pop spare under the hood and hit low energy mode!

Disable what you dont want to look at for now, and then when the new method comes out you will be able to root. Its very frustrating that i cannot root and custom rom this phone. With that said, it runs really smooth on stock rom.

How long does the battery last you? Can you go a full day with above moderate use (3hrs screen time+) without a wall outlet? I'm asking cause my first full day with it only gave me 7hrs and so when it reached to 20%. That's not too good. I'm using it on tmobile hspa so no lte either.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
it played dead trigger perfectly, took 1% battery from playing for 3 minutes or so. I read the dna's usage battery is 7 hours
i went from a full charge yesterday at 7am to 20% this morning around 11am, I didn't do any gaming I was at work for 8 hours then driving and watching a movie so it wasn't but light usage, but it's supposed to get 7 hours nonstop usage and the lock screen conserves battery like crazy
I guess I'm a little puzzled. I work in an environment where after the drive to work (typically with my DNA plugged in), I work at a desk all day (a lot of the time with my DNA plugged in), and drive home (typically with my DNA plugged in).
Am I the only one on this board who does this?
The very first day I had the DNA, I tested the battery to see how long it would go with my normal use. It went about 5 - 6 hours before I felt the need to plug it in (about 20%).
But, this isn't what is typical. How many on this board actually NEVER plug their phones in during any part of the day? To me it doesn't make sense that anyone would do this. Even for those of us that travel, we can always plug in at the airport, bus station, taxi...etc.
The battery wasn't designed to last us an entire work day, and we have to use some common sense here.

I guess I'm a little puzzled. I work in an environment where after the drive to work (typically with my DNA plugged in), I work at a desk all day (a lot of the time with my DNA plugged in), and drive home (typically with my DNA plugged in).
Am I the only one on this board who does this?
The very first day I had the DNA, I tested the battery to see how long it would go with my normal use. It went about 5 - 6 hours before I felt the need to plug it in (about 20%).
But, this isn't what is typical. How many on this board actually NEVER plug their phones in during any part of the day? To me it doesn't make sense that anyone would do this. Even for those of us that travel, we can always plug in at the airport, bus station, taxi...etc.

It usually lasts all day easily for me. 5ish hours screen on time and 15 hours off charger.

Mine will last all day for me but I generally keep it on the wireless charger when I'm at work.

it played dead trigger perfectly, took 1% battery from playing for 3 minutes or so. I read the dna's usage battery is 7 hours
i went from a full charge yesterday at 7am to 20% this morning around 11am, I didn't do any gaming I was at work for 8 hours then driving and watching a movie so it wasn't but light usage, but it's supposed to get 7 hours nonstop usage and the lock screen conserves battery like crazy

I've heard disabling fastboot helps some wake lock issues, but idk if thats true for sure...give it a try?
I wouldn't switch to the S3..its a much inferior device when it comes to specs (minus battery life) as it is an older device...
