I'm actually quite baffled. Max I've had is around 20 hours with 4 hours of on screen time. People get around 2 days with 5 hours of battery life. How is that possible?

If you cannot cope with average one day battery life buy a dumb phone .
Often these users with long battery life do not put up the true facts .
Two days since i last charged and 76% left .
But i have not had everything running all that time .

Screen on time is a slightly better indicator, but even that varies quite a bit; reading an ebook = 9hrs, playing games/browsing = 4hrs. Leaving on the shelf in airplane mode = 8 days, but what use is that?
Best battery saver I've found is Greenify, kills all the useless and sloppy coding that eats your battery but the app still works when you need it.
I thought of the same. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.
- Lowest brightness
- 2G Only
- Wifi, Gps off, all motion gestures and active view off
- lots of bloatware removed
- whatsapp auto dl photos off
I can get 3 days with stock battery and 2 days of hard use.
lol I could get 3 days without touching the phone.
I do believe that 4hrs screen time is pretty decent.
hell I can even get to 3hrs....so I have a spare battery with me 24/7

Please state also if you are using any modifications (ex. SetCPU, JuiceDefender, Various Kernels)
I have been able to get 6 hours and 40 minutes of display time before the battery shuts off. I was watching back to back Seinfeld Episodes on Moboplayer.
When I first got my phone I installed some emulators, and started playing Pokemon (never played back when it was popular). I got 4 hours of display on straight one Saturday afternoon while playing Pokemon Sapphire. I was astonished to see that I still had more than 50% battery left when I closed the emulator.

display-on time is the thing i always look for in a device and try to get better each time. if you read the anandtech review of the atrix, they got like 8 hours of web browsing time which was the top dog except the iphone 4 being higher (at 11 hours).
They must have had a magical iPhone 4 then. I have had 2 iPhone 4's and never got the battery life I have with the Atrix. Plus, I never used "background data" on the iPhone but I do on the Atrix. Regardless, I don't use phones for videos or games or anything like that (never did) but I have had my Atrix over 70 hours off a single charge with almost 3 hours of display time if that's any consolation.

My highest was 2 days ago.. 7 hours display time on a little over 24 hours. This was after following the instructions in the battery life thread that have you pull the battery after its charged to 100%, then reinsert it when the missing battery icon displays. I let it charge for an extra 2 hours after doing this and battery calibration now shows 4203mV at 100% charge..my battery life is now amazing.

Are you using any extra applications to save battery? SetCPU? JuiceDefender?
Last night I reached 2 hours of display time with 72% battery left. All wifi web browsing.

I've only had one other android phone, and that was an Atrix. I got about 12 hours from each charge and 2 hours screen time--- compared to when I first got it when I got 20 hours and 3 hours screentime.
It seems like this galaxy note is going to be the same way so far -- although i REALLY want to be bale to get 30hrs and 5hrs screen time. Let's see if I can

Wow...Really? I had the Atrix as well and could get well over 30 hours of charge on it after about a year. The first few months I was seeing between 12 and 20 hours. For me it seemed the longer I had it the better the battery life was.
I'd frequently have it unplugged from 6 AM to 1 AM daily and have 60% left. That may be because all my usage came over a consolidated period of time and the rest of the time was light usage.
My first Android phone was the original Droid...I was able to coax around 24 hours out of it...but I was rooted with a custom ROM and a LV overclock kernel for it.
I'm hoping that I can get at least 14 hours with the Note on the same sort of routine...not so much this week because I don't want to put it down! LOL...my usage has gone from Light/Moderate to HEAVY...I fully expect to be able to hit this after a few more charge cycles (provided my usage goes back to normal...with the screen size I can see myself using this more than the Atrix, so we'll just have to see).
Over 20 hours of use with wifi, Bluetooth, LTE, auto-brightness, web browsing, video playing, texting, emailing and forum posting.
Yea, that's 5h 14m "screen on" time, too. 5.3 inch LTE device with those battery stats - yea, I'm happy. If your expectations are any higher you're delusional. 100% stock.

I want to select 14-16, but in this poll are you implying that at 16 hours I need to hit the charger or turn it off? This is rather subjective because I have a few friends that consider a phone "dead" the minute it hits 30%. Hell even the custom power saving profile is defaulted to kick in at 30%.
16 hours from my workday wake up time is only 11PM. I'd like to think if I decide to go out on the weekends I don't need to worry about charging up unless I've been using the phone like crazy throughout the day.
So we are at 10-12 hours so far in the poll. I hope we can get more input.
It's just $25 for TWO (semi-decent) spare batteries and a charger on Amazon... so no worries!
That said, the first few days with this phone have been rough! I've been using it so damn much that I have to plug it in at just 6 or 7pm when I get home from work. (DOH!) I'm sure my usage will go down a little after the honeymoon period wears off (maybe?). Luckily, though, my spare batteries are set to arrive today... so it's all good!
First of all this is my first thread here
I want to share 2 screen shoots for my battery status really it is surprising
First one expecting time is 111 hours
But the second come moooooore 209 hours
So?
It's called Deep sleep. :sly:

I think that ?
It notes how much did it use in last 3 hours. During night phone is not used and it goes to deep sleep to save battery life. Lets say you went to bed with 100% and your phone lost 1% during 8 hours of night. It calculates that phone uses 1% every 8 hours and thinks that battery should last 8h*100%=800 hours (33 days) and its crazy long.
But as soon you start using your phone that predictions get to normal. Also first % of battery lasts longest (not sure why, its same on almost every device I had, guess it has something with battery calibration at full) so it shows crazy ammounts of battery life. Mine personal record is somewhere around 900 hours (I wish) but in the end its down to day or two.
Sometimes when I leave the phone charging on 100% and use the phone, it feels like I have charged it to 105% and first it has to be used like 1 hour to show the 99% numbers on my display [emoji2]
Yeah, 100%(100-99%) last very long. I can get one hour screen on by playing video with it or 20 minutes screen on with browsing. Of course u have to charge the phone for 10-20 minutes more when it just reach 100%.

Your explination is right after 7 month of using I am thinking in begining that the battery will last all of these hours but after I used it it become less for two days
Two days for me is very good comparing with other phone like samsung and apple
G2 idles like a beast, this looks normal
Meh, nothing special
P.S.
That is like after 9 months of usage of the phone

That is becausr our battety is divided into cells ranging from 4 to 6, so the first 2 cells are bigger then remaining so they hold more power that why drain looks slow

Kind of funny, never seen this kind of overall battery estimation on mine, though I get 6-7Hrs SOT.

Is 3 hours of screen on time on Lollipop good? I keep hearing of people that get 5 or 6 hours of screen on time and No android device I get has ever achieved that. Even my xperia z3 tablet compact can't get over 3 hours of Screen on time. Am I doing something wrong? Like could I be using my device too much?
check apps wich draw most battery and get rid of them , if this won't work then do a factory reset ...
I get between 4 1/2 and 7+ SOT hours.
Depends mostly if I turn Bluetooth on (SmartWatch), GPS use (Google+ position tracking, weather),use a lot of Internet (chrome is a battery sucker, you don't believe it), sync a lot of mails n stuff like that.
Of course it depends on your apps, but 3 hours is really not a lot, may be your battery is not good.
The 3 hours screen on time is with heavy usage but the standby time is amazing.

I get 3-4 hours screen on time too. However, that's with heavy use. Viber, Skype & Talkray for 1-2 hours per day. I get 2-3 days standby with 3-4 hours screen on time based on the above. Also some light web browsing and some WhatsApp...

It very much depends on a rom.
I was able to get around 4-5h sot on lollipop, but it was on Google style rom. On some more customized or stock roms you may get a bit worse battery life.
So to answer your question, 3h is a bit below the average result.
The reason may be an old battery.

Old battery? My Z2 is only 2 months old and was bought brand new. :laugh:
Perhaps rom related. Most ever SOT I got was around 4.5 hours and that was on Lollipop Google style rom...
I need to know what you are getting as SOT for this device and how long does the battery last. I use mine a lot and it does not feel like I can get past 3 hours of SOT.
4-6 hours of constant use on wifi
3-4 hours with stand by on 4g
5 hours with mixed use of wifi and 4g

Same here. Also 2-3 Hours if mobile signal is weak
But this only in 5-6 hours of usage, after I have to change battery always.

4 hours SCREEN ON TIME with mixed wifi and 4g. I averages about another 7 hours of standby. Sometimes lower because of playing heavy games

As i said, i have obtained 2-3 hours of SCREEN ON TIME with bad mobile signal on 6-7 hours of usage (from 7:00 to lunch), after i need to change battery.
This is my experience, as the OP asked.
I am not sure how the previous users are getting such great on screen time for this phone, I guess some users are a bit luckier than others in the battery department with the LG G5. I've had dozens of smartphones and I have to say that my experience with the battery life of the LG G5 has been among the worst since I purchased the phone new earlier this year.
At best if I micro manage all my settings, meaning disable data or Wifi when not in use and only use one or the other depending on signal strength or even when I put the phone in airplane mode when I'm in an area of no Wi-Fi and poor signal strength, AT BEST I am able to get a little over 3 hours of SOT on average. And lately that has only been with a few of hours of standby time.
If I'm a little bit more relaxed about the settings and less on top of them then we are looking at best at around 2 to 2.5 hours of SOT.
When I first got the phone with careful control I was achieving more around 4 hours of SOT. I appreciate the fact that this phone has a swappable battery but I am not one to sit there swapping batteries back and forth all day. It's nice to have a swappable battery when the original one begins to degrade to push the longevity of the device. But at this point I will be looking to replace my G5 probably at the end of this year or early next year. For a relatively modern day flagship the performance that I'm experiencing battery wise is unacceptable.
I've tried to use the phone the exact same well as I use my Xperia z3 and it honestly has half the battery life for the same usage. Coupled with the GPS issues I am ready to dump this POS.
