Not rooted yet, but when I am it will be even better.
1.79% discharge per hour overnight with no use. That's almost as good as my S3 was getting, rooted, with lots of bloatware disabled. Can't wait to see what this will do once it's rooted and bloat free!

My S3 was stock rooted and I was getting .89% discharge per hour overnight. What does yours get with no use (sitting overnight)?

I was always rom'd with CM, and it never made it to Night, like I said I got 4 Hours TOPS.
Truthfully, Touchwiz makes me want to puke.
I got my S4 yesterday, took it home and rooted it and charged it to 100%. Took it off, put about 2 straight hrs of screen time on it setting it up, messing around, benchmarking it, etc and was only down to 74%. That would mean almost 8 hours of screen time and heavy usage, which is pretty damn impressive for such a powerful device with such a great screen.

that's crazy!
pre-root, i got 14 hours standby with just barely over 5 hours of screen time.
rooted it last night. removed bloat. let's see how well this baby holds up today.
First battery cycle after debloat, I got 6hrs screen time over a 16 hour discharge. Love it.

Today is my first day with the phone. It was 100% at 11pm yesterday and it dropped to 95% by 5:30am....not bad. Been using it all day at work reading emails, reading reddit, surfing some websites and it's down to 44% (it's 4pm now). It's had about 3 hours screen time too.
So far the battery life is much better than my old galaxy nexus.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is with everything stock. Air view and gestures are turned on as well as power saving mode.

This is a welcome change from the Galaxy Nexus. I'm usually charging it by 3pm on a workday. it's almost 5 and i have 35% left (that's after multiple reboots during the rooting process too)
I am at 1d 3h 8m 42s and 22% remaining.
3hrs of screen time.
45min of voice calls.
I have used it to take some pictures, check email, read some articles, and do facebook. I am rooted and have all bloat frozen.
I am very pleased with this battery life and cannot wait for AOSP roms.
I even made my TWRP backup in this charge.
This battery life is insane! I love this phone!
0.94% discharge per hour overnight after root. As good as my S3 now!
Here is a light usage, fully stock not rooted or anything. I have the CPU battery saver on because i notice like 0 performance difference. texted a bit, ebayed, facebooked and a couple other things mostly wifi, bluetooth and location services are on.
I was more pleased with the charger than anything, half hour adds like 30 to 40 percent last time I checked, which is awesome for how big the battery is in comparison with the s3, only drawback is that it doesn't charge very quickly on any charger but the one that comes with it and my car charger. So at work I don't even bother plugging in.
I couldn't stand how laggy my S4 was, so I rooted it and removed the bloatware ( and my God, was there a lot) and now, not only is it WAY snappier, but the battery life is unreal.
I am very pleased with 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..
Awesome first charge.. plugged in Friday when I got it and just now 38 hours later I'm plugging it in. 4.5 hours of screen on at 85 percent brightness.. here and there browsing.. some photos.. gps enabled turn by turn a couple times.. SIRIUSXM for 4 hours at least.. fell asleep both Friday and Saturday night listening to Art Bell.. so at least 4 hours. Outlook checking mail every couple hours. Tested a few games for probably a total of an hour maybe. This is about average use for me. I would say this bests my note2 and that's a lot to say. Will it get better after a few more cycles? This phone is a keeper... loving the knock on/off feature and I'm getting really used to the buttons on the back.
Good stuff man....lower that brightness a little and turn on autobrightness and you'd be getting even better battery life. Doesnt the constant 85% hurt your eyes?
That's awesome. Battery life was a big reason I picked up this phone, and it has yet to disappoint. I'm on Verizon, so probably couldn't get the Nexus 5, but even if I could I'd probably go with the G2 for the battery. I like a nice bright screen as well
I took the attached a couple if days ago. GPS off, mobile location on, 65% brightness baseline with auto on. Mostly web browsing, with about an hour of talk time, and 3 hours of audio playing via Bluetooth. The battery really is fantastic.
However, there is something that can get stuck and prevent deep sleep causing excessive idle drain. Its happened to me twice now. A reboot clears it up, but I haven't tracked down the culprit yet to prevent it entirely.
Anyhoo, pics below.

Ive found 3 culprits for idle drain thus far:
*backup* - disable backup/ restore in global settings
Nlpwakelock - disable wifi/cell gps assist in global settings, and history anf reporting in Maps
CarrierIQ - disable it as per instructed in the carrier IQ thread

I found it takes a lot to get thought that first one percent. I had the screen on for 45 minutes before I dropped to 99% the other day. I'm starting to think there is something up with the battery gauge.

No... You're just using an awesome phone!
Yea the battery seems great when you don't touch the device but try playing a game for a little bit . Candy crush crushes ( ? ) my battery to hell.
Wow, just got my G2 on Friday night, and yesterday I was sitting around the house on WiFi all day, playing with it, I got maybe 12 hours out of it, before it was down in the teens.
Last night I charged it fully, woke up, unplugged the phone 100% battery, now 2 hours later it's down to 89%, and all I did was surf XDA and some websites for maybe 20 minutes all on WiFi.
I need to root this thing, and install CleanROM, and debloat this beast, because with a 3,000mAh battery and Snapdragon 800, I expect way way better battery life.. I am looking for Note 2 battery life, that thing could go 36 hours without sneezing.
Is it the ton of bloatware on the phone from ATT + LG killing the battery ? I am shocked at how much bloat this phone has, it's over the top with bull**** apps I never want on here, pretty ridiculous.
If you had taken the 2 minutes it took for you to write up this rant and look for the battery thread you would have seen the G2 has amazing battery life. You are obviously doing something wrong.
Give it some time to settle before deciding anything. Mine actually took three-four days and some reboots before it calmed down, and now I have about twice the battery stamina compared to HTC One (which I threw in the dumpster btw) .
Could be hardware issues. I had my G2 for a week now, and I tell you what the battery is amazing. I can easily get 4-5 hours of screen on time with 24+ hours battery life, and that's with stock. all sync (fb, whatsapp, twitter) with a few tweaks. I am coming from Nexus 4 and very impressed because with G2 I literally have a double battery life.
And also G2 is very fast charging. Only take 2 hours to charge from 10 - 100%. That's amazing!
My battery is getting better every day. Yesterday I got 14 hours of use, 5 1/2 hours screen on time, and an estimated 2 1/2 hours to go at 15%. Definitely the best so far. With more tweaks, I'm wondering how much I can get today.

I had some bad battery life initially. I found the biggest culprit of battery drain in my case was CarrierIQ. After rooting the phone and disabling the CIQ, my battery life has been great. It goes 24+ hours easily and it seems it can run 40+ hours though I haven't tried it.

same thing happened to me. First few days it was great then battery sucked. Disabled the CIQ with system tuner and I get 2 days and 5 hours screen time and still usually have 30% left
The battery life is love and hate on this phone for me. The love part is the battery life on this phone is great. The hate part is you have to turn off a lot of things to get that great battery life.
I've never had to turn this many things off to get good battery life on any other phones that I've had. I have to completely turn off anything location related which is a big bummer for me. I always like to have a clock/weather widget on my home screen but it never updates with all of the stuff that I have to turn off.
It's one of the few reasons why I'm moving to a Note 3. But when you heavily tweak the system, you can get fantastic battery life out of this phone. Good luck!

yet another topic's title that would detract would be buyers.
This phone has the best battery life of any phone I have ever had, stock. Even better than the Note series. Clearly user error
Battery life issues are so variable between two use scenarios it's like comparing apples and oranges. As others have said, battery life is pretty damn amazing for this phone.
Post some results from GSam battery monitor or wake lock detector to help you sort it all out.
I am still running stock, not rooted or ROM'd yet. Right now I am at 8h 29m total usage off a 100% charge this morning. Current battery life is already down to 35%, and only 2h 49m On Screen Time, and I have been on WiFi all day. I have GPS off, sync off, no e-mail or Facebook stuff installed yet.
Might as well give you a fast screen shot of mine
People with great battery life vs those with poor. Do you think its mainly settings and a good ROM or root with bloat deleted ?
Or is it hardware related ? Bad phones from factory shipping with damaged batteries or hardware ?

Battery so poor, I might return my G2 for a Galaxy S4 instead, for the removable battery.
Just shocked I'm barely getting any better battery life than my Nexus 4, which got 4h On Screen time, and over all only 12 hours usage
Do I have a bad phone ? Or just stock is screwed up and I should factory reset, or better yet, root and install CleanROM ?

I installed the kernel with stock options, no undervolting, just sweep-to-sleep. I haven't had it long enough to comment on the battery life but I have about 1.5 hours of screen time right now and I am at 60%, also have been unplugged for 9 hours...so quite a while on standby as well. I'm thinking the battery life will be close to on-par with stock kernel at this rate.
I really like the sweep feature, and also GFX on games are more smooth for sure. Not that they weren't already but I notice a small difference. Thought about undervolting in the future, but as the maker of the kernel states, you don't really need to overclock this device, its already super snappy

Yes definitely - I guess I should ask if you're doing anything special? What ROM you're running etc. I got 3 hrs 15 minutes of screen time and 18 hours off charger last night and I was sitting at 8%. Granted I play games throughout the day so without that I would probably be getting somewhere closer to 4 hours screen time, but still that doesn't even touch the rate you're going which would be roughly 10 hours of screen time on a full 100% to 0% charge

Stock Everything. Unlocked Bootloader Via HTC Dev. Rooted. Twrp Recovery. Xposed Framework w/ Sense 6 Toolbox. I run battery saver setting on at all times because I have no need for full processing power and data should always sleep while the phone is sleeping IMO. But I leave Haptic on and don't have it auto reduce brightness.
Last I had charged My phone to 100% on thursday night. Unplugged and did not plug back in until Monday night. That's the most I have gotten so far. Right now I'm at 34.5 hours since charging with 56% charge left and roughly 3.25 to 2.5 hours of screen on. I don't plan on having charging until tomorrow evening, but i still have my mophie external just in case.

Ah, I think that might do the trick there...I have my screen on full brightness, data is on at all times, and I click off power-saver when it comes on because it makes my screen dark lol...I think those differences right there would settle the confusion on my part!
Thanks for sharing, I know if I ever get in a bind where I won't have a charger for a few days, I'll use the Pure+ Method haha

Lol. Sound great to me! You can always change the power saver setting to not reduce brightness and not reduce processing power. Then it will just sleep data connection and some background data. That could increase your usage by a couple hours most likely.
im happy with it.
i beleive i flashed it to over clock 2.7 (Cant remember)
37hrs of battery life right now at 28% remaining with 4.5 hours of screen on time
Just like the title says, how's everyone's battery life, all i can say is mine is meh, not as good as i thought it could be, it's about the same or less than my previous phone surprisingly.
20 hours total, 3:15 screen on time with 25% battery left. My Xperia Z1s would've have gotten around the same maybe 4 hours at 25%
I'm only on my 3rd day with the phone, but the battery life yesterday really shocked me. I came from a water-damaged Xperia Z3v (thanks Sony), and I could easily get 2 days of use out of it. This phone appears to have similar battery life, but I spent most of the day on voice calls and only using it occasionally. Not a ton of heavy browsing in an airport, for instance. I was at home on WiFi all day.

WAT, is this through data or wifi only or combo of both? I have data on 70% of the day from 7am to about 4-5pm and so i get home with about 55% at 5pm with 1 hour and 30 min of SOT then once i get to 4% (at like 8pm) on wifi my SOT is 3 hours and 50 minutes to a little over 4 hours
my phone must be defective

Impossssibruuuu, my mom has the z3v and we took it to the pool and used it for 1 hour under water (of course taking it out every 1-3 minutes then dipping it back in) her phone still works fine, but i do have a question, did some of your google apps not work through data? I might have to factory reset hers to fix it (i've tried everything such as resetting google play services/framework etc) also i find the s6 edge+ battery not that great as it is about the same or worse than my Xperia Z1s i had on tmobile. Actually, my Z1s easily made it to 4 hours where my Edge + struggles and through the same combo of lte/wifi what I said in the post earlier
edit: just noticed your phone doesn't get a horrible google play services drain, my edge + does it's like 1st or 2nd on the list to cell standby (going to test out advanced calling on mobile data to see if that helps)

Google Play wasn't working on my Edge+ out of the box, I had to clear its data and begin again, then it worked properly. Might try that for any Google apps she's having trouble with.

Just reset the whole phone, and it seems fine now, I hope lol
I am getting 12 hours a day.
14 hours with 40% left. Been flinging things at chrome cast for about 2 hours then about 4 hours of music via Bluetooth. After a normal work day.
It ain't bad.

When i first got mine battery was incredible. It seems like clean master suite of apps makes the battery a little slower but i think it makes up for it by closing apps on background even after you close then out. My battery started dieing quick when i had all the clean master apps running. Cm locker, phone boost, and regular clean master. I Uninstalled cm locker and phone boost but by just leaving the original app i just click the one-click standby, and hibernate to kill background apps draining battery without having all of the CM apps running all the time draining my battery the most.
I get close to 8 hours before it gets 25% but heavy use like navigation and Bluetooth/YouTube streaming simultaneous drains a little faster.
Like the phone dieing quicker in general since i first got the phone last month but i think the quick charge has slowed down sometimes. Im at 28% right now and it says approximately 1hr 53 minutes. When i first got it out would charge like 50% in 20 minutes and I'm using original charger and cable that came with phone.

I've noticed my charging wire is defective. I'm using a micro USB cable I had lying around of course still with the adaptive fast charging and now it always says fast charging when I connect it. @ 1 hour and 30 minutes or 20 minutes
I left my phone unplugged connected to Foxfi. So from 930 pm to 300 am I was at 29% left. If it was my M7 doing the same thing it would of died in 2 hrs flat. So compared to my old phone my edge+ does better and that what I like to see. Hate getting s phone where my old one battery last longer than my new one.
Plus with fast charging it doesn't take long to charge these phones. I can be at 75% when I go to lunch and when I charge it the phone will have a full charge way before I go back. Where as my M7 would take 3 hrs.
