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 just received my Rezound new yesterday, downloaded some apps from the market, and set everything up for normal use today. I got it off the charger this morning around 7:30am at 100% and its dead at 4:30pm. I would consider my use light today as I only used the web for maybe 10 minutes. I mostly did things like add contact shortcuts to my home screens and move icons around, and download maybe 2 new apps.
I came from a Droid 2 which got pretty awesome battery life running Liberty 3 and I'm wondering if my usage time is normal.
Total Time 8h 22m 33s
Display 80% (Time on 2h 45m)
Call Stand 5%
Phone Idle (Time on 5h 37m)
Android System 3%
Dolphin Browser 2%
Android OS 2%
Wi-Fi 2% (Time on 1h 38m)(I don't believe I was connected to any networks though)
Drop box 2%
The screen is what kills it along with LTE. If your screen was on for 2:45 that is why. The display sucks battery on this phone.
Thanks for the reply, I figured that was the case, but I still thought I would have gotten a little longer. I hope a custom ROM will help some with the battery life.
I am on stock rooted and don't really have battery issues. Typically I get 12-14 hours which by then I have easy access to power. If it is going to be a long day, I use the extended battery. It is not uncommon to still have charge left going into late at night.
I have the screen less than a third of the way on the selector and have Auto brightness turned off. Screen timeout is set to 1m but when I set the phone down, I have a widget called ScreenOff that I click to blank the screen. Primary reason for doing that is so I don't accidentally enter some app, but a secondary is that it turns off the screen before it would normally timeout.
When I am at home or at work, I use WiFi almost 100% of the time which due to strong WiFi signals there, (for me) uses less battery power than LTE.
Otherwise, I have LTE on.
Right now today, I am about 50% with 9h 12m of use. I fully charge nightly with the AC charger on my night stand so when I get up it is 100%.
I have an extended battery, but normally use the stock battery unless I know I am going to be away from the office for long periods of time.
I am not much of a game player, but I do watch short videos from time to time. I have streamed music, but don't normally. I get 10-20 calls a day typically and use my browser on a regular basis (reddit as well).
The camera is Awesome!
Unless your display was on max brightness and you were streaming HD movies. That's bad battery life. I get 2 times that even with autobrightness, maybe your battery isn't broken in yet
A good measure is 30minutes display time per 10%, and 1% per hour with 3G and normal sync scheduling... If your apps sync ever 15 minutes that will kill it, and 4G should kill it a little more than just 3G... Minor fluctuations are still OK, but you shouldn't have 15 minutes per 10% unless everything is basically on full blast
My battery life using the setup in my sig is usually very good.
I can easily make it through a normal workday listening to mp3s from my card/texting etc using the standard battery. My screen is set to 30%, screen timeout to 30 seconds.
I do like to stream audio however using iheart radio or Sirius radio online. If I do that, I'm lucky if I make it 4 hours on the standard battery (without ever turning the screen on) When I am going to do that, I use the extended battery and keep a 2nd one in my pocket. I have two external chargers I use so I always have spare fully charged batts.
I actually prefer the feel/weight of the phone with the extended battery and the HTCPedia cutout hard rubber case.. That gives me a better grip on the phone and I barely notice the weight difference when it is in a Jean pocket.
I guess it just depends on the actual phone itself. My phone charges everynight. I pull it off the charger at 6 am and by 10am the battery is dead. I have 3 batterys, and a wall charger that I carry around. I don't consider myself a heavy user either. No music or videos. Only text, gtalk, gmail and a phone phone calls that last a few min each. I only have google and exchage set to push. My 2 yahoo accts sync every 4 hours. I do have fecebook as well. Screen is very dim. This was all using rooted cleanrom.
I am now back to bone stock, with a CLNR phone that just arrived yesterday (due to connection problems with my computer) So maybe a stock rom unrooted will make a difference. Heres hoping!
Sad.....great phone, I love it!

This. I was playing "draw something " with friends today at work and even with a fully charged extended battery it only lasted about 3.5 hours with the backlight at 100% and oc'd to 1.7 GHz. But that was constant usage for those three hours.

Diff. Roms equal diff results for me. All of the ICS roms I've tried all keep my phone up time and awake time the same. Is anyone else having this issue? Due to this, I typically end up getting around 5 hours of life even if I leave my phone off for the duration of that time. It's annoying because I really want to stay on ICS but get double the battery life out of the GB Roms.

On Scotts CleanRom 3.6, with fairly heavy usage (hour of solitaire, hour of browsing xda, texting, 30 minutes of phone calls) I can get about 10 hours before needing a charge again. Before I updated to 3.6, which has the 3.8v battery fix, I could only get about 5 or 6 hours of similar usage. I don't recall if prior versions had my awake and up times the same, but I haven't noticed it recently.

I take it you don't stream audio like I do??
I just got my Rezound yesterday, and have noticed a surprisingly poor battery life. I did all my setup yesterday, and fully charged the battery over night. After unplugging it this morning, I listened to music off the sd card for about 45 min, browsed the net for about another 45, then stopped using it for a while. I noticed the battery was about halfway through, so I plugged it in to my car charger and did some more Internet stuff. However, after checking the battery info, I realized that even plugged in to the car charger it was consuming more power than it was taking in. I finally had to turn it completely off and let it charge to get the battery from yellow back to green.
This is the same charger I used for my Droid X, so I know that it is working...

I've been running BAMF ICS v0.9 for a few days, and the other versions before that. I get 12-14 hours with 4G on, and 20-23 with 4G off....I keep the screen on 40% brightness
Watch your clock speeds if you are on ICS. They constantly Max out, both cores. That's where your battery life is going.
Sometimes data flickers for me on random days, that's the only thing that wears my battery down fast. But I can still go through the day have 40ish percent left. If it doesn't flicker I can go through through day with about 50% left. And if in on Wi-Fi most of the time I have nore than that left over. And that's with using the phone for a couple of hours with the display on.
Trying ineffabilis with DSBs 1.1.3 kernel and undervolt it some
for me, battery life killers can be streaming audio (sirius xm or espn radio) and definitely jelly wars. Phone will die on extended battery in about 4 hours of continuous play.
Otherwise, normal usage, I get 10-16 hours of use on my extended battery before swapping it out (use 2 extended batteries).
4g definitely runs the phone hotter than wifi (about 20 degrees hotter for me)
The only time my phone gets around 95 degrees is if it's on a charger and I'm watching a movie, and it takes about an hour for it to feel warm, which could even be caused from me holding it the whole time. 4G doesn't get my phone any hotter than 3G Or Wi-Fi. Guess every phone is different though. least we get signal xD

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
my quad core s3 is a no-contract phone . uses pre-paid card. so there is no 3g/4g. i get around 4 hours screen on time with power saving mode on with juice defender on. i find that gaming time in this phone is awful. in the iphone 4, i get 5 hours 3d gaming time. now i dont even get 4 hours 2d gaming time! is this normal with the s3? but stll this is a fantastic phone. without gaming i get 6 hours screen on time. just would like to know if you get the same with gaming. iphone 5 seems to have a really good battery with 8h screen on time.
Make sure you disable wcdma in network settings.... your phone probably searching for a 3g signal and failing.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Get rid of juice defender and turn off power save mode.
Also 8 hours screen on time for ip5 is questionable, these are the same people that said 8 hours 3g use and 10 hours LTE. As everyone knows, LTE uses more power than 3g.
Their numbers are lies/exaggerated.
If you want the iPhone so badly then you know what you need to do.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I too have Power Saving Mode turned on, and manually adjust the brightness (it's always set to the lowest setting).
I have WiFi turned on the entire time that I'm home, and 3G when I'm out.
Auto Sync is on the entire time, because I want to be able to know when I get an incoming email.
That's pretty much it.
I am not able to come close to 4 hours of screen time, before my battery reaches 5-10%. Cell Standby accounts for the most battery usage.
Any pointers/tips?
P.S. Phone not rooted.
Do you have Viber? If yes there is a bug in the latest update that's keeping the proximity sensor on and draining the battery. 4 hours screen on time with battery save mode is really bad. There's probably some app draining the battery.
Ps. Ip5 battery life is a lie as usual, people who have it and actually use it say battery is actually quite bad. Also on the ios stats you don't have 'screen on' time report, but 'usage' time that is a lot more stuff than just screen on time. People who say the have 8 hours are probably just reading the usage time.

Yep; I do use Viber. I think you're right. Ever since I got the latest Viber update, the battery seems to die off sooner.
Should I uninstall and check?
How can I check what rogue app is eating into the battery?
Well. i hate the iphone 5! no i dont have viber. juice defender shows me battery improved by 1.8x. i have auto sync off and power save on. i have disabled mobile data. and i realised i am just expecting too much! i was surfing the stock browser on wifi for 45 min and my phone went from 39% to 34%. guess thats okay.
Viber just fixed the proximity sensor issue; hope this resolves the battery drain issue.
BTW, what is the normal hourly battery drain percentage?
You can install an app called 'betterbatterystats' (very counterintuitive name!) to see what exactly is eating your battery, it takes a while to figure out how it works but it is very usefull!
Google location services in maps and Google now (if you are on jelly bean) drain quite a bit of battery and basically anything running on the background. Obviously you just deactivate what you don't need!
What about the iphone4 and SGS3 screen size ...every mm more=more power

Three days ago, I flashed stock ICS (with wipe). I wanted to test the battery life.
Screen On time was a little under 4 hours.
I spent just a little over 2 hours on the phone.
Wifi was on/off intermittently.
Around 15 minutes of gaming.
The phone lasted 1 day and 20 hours.
That, in my opinion, is really, really good.

You can easily go for 2 days with this phone and normal usage if you turn off or use airplane mode at night. But I never do because the phone is so cool that I use it all the time! I charge at night, still I never get to 0% at the end of the day.
anyone else can post their experience with battery life?

battery life on this babe is good enough for me!
I get around 21-26 hours of standby time and screen on time ranging from at least 5 hours to 6.5 hours. When I don't browse much and just use the Adobe Reader I b get around 7 Hours plus a few minutes.
I switch on power saving mode when the battery drops below 30% and my brightness is set on auto and I'm connected to a 2g network. No gaming. I generally browse the Web for an hours , listen to music for a few minutes and then read on the Adobe Reader.
Auto sync is switched on at all times.
Hi I'm looking for a discussion rather than a Q so I chose this section.
I'm looking to chat with Go users about the battery life. How long does your battery last and what do you use it for? I notice that it
has a comparatively small battery but this doesn't always mean low battery - and I notice this phone IS being officially updated to Jelly Bean. I think the lower resolution screen helps keep the CPU and battery relaxed perhaps? What's your usage like?
Per Day Usage
Phone calls
Music
Internet browsing
I'm using the Sola and I hate the battery, I have to charge it 1-2 times per day. I use it for 1 hour of browsing, 1 hour of music, 5 minutes of calls, lighting texting - then it dies, I hate it. I'm considering the Go or J. The J has poor CPU/RAM but far bigger battery vs the Go.

The GO has a *****n nice battery life I'm using a Sola and get round 16hours. My friend got a GO and his battery was after 9 hours from 100 on 80%!!
After 9 hours, your friend's Go went from 100 to 80%? That's not bad at all! Does he/she leave the internet on? That seems to be a huge battery killer but I need it. If the Go could last 2 days I'd buy it now...
I bought my XGO two weeks ago, and below is my battery life and its usage (sorry no screenshots)
Battery Life:
100% to 15% lasted around 45-50 hours
2 to 3 hours screen on time
Usage:
Exchange push sync (email, calendar)
Gmail push sync (email, calendar, contact)
Outlook.com sync every 1 hour (email, calendar, contact)
No Social Network (Facebook, Twitter, etc) sync
light web browsing of 15 minutes daily
Power Saver implemented:
Installed BitDefender PowerTuneup (disable all network connectivity from 1 - 6am daily, except only connected to basic phone network)
Restricted all background 3G data except for Exchange, and Google native services
Location, GPS, Bluetooth turned off 99.5% of time.
Screen Auto 55%
Battery life is almost the same as my Galaxy Nexus, but my Galaxy Nexus can never get more than 2 hours screen on time even with 2000mAh battery, I guess maybe the screen used up too much power... Battery life for Go is pretty good in my opinion, would be super if it comes with 1600-1700 mAh battery...

Yes he did The whole day, his mobile Internet is activated and he has a screen on time of round 75%!!
I get about 4-5 hours nonstop browsing with brightness at about 30%, wifi and autosync on.
If wifi is off, I lose 2-3% while I sleep. That's about 7-8 hrs of sleep.
I keep data on and forced 3g during work. Signal is poor at my desk so with constant use I end up with about 30-40% after 7 hours if I didn't bring my charger.
Battery mileage really depends on how it's used and what's installed and what's running and how bright the screen is.
The bottom line is that this phone lasts one work day with me without having to charge.

My experience from Go's battery is that if you do not have 3G on is good. Otherwise it is draining too fast. I get 1-2 days battery life depending on the use. Usage is mainly phone calls and texting and a bit of browsing and checking fora through tapatalk or xda apps. For forum reading I use 2g/edge so to not drain my battery. Brightness is at auto with 100% max level. In general I don't think its battery cab endure a whole day of heavy use.. Screen usually drains 65-70% of battery according to statistics.

Xperia GO Battery Life
I got this phone two weeks ago after having a water ingress failure on my Motorola Defy.. what a shame, but now I'm happy. This ST27a is a great phone, I am not a phone movie watcher or gamer, so CPU and RAM are more than adequate for myself. Great look, light weight, perfect size AND waterproof (angels singing)... I ordered it unlocked and it came with ICS pre-loaded (4.0.4), at first it was such a huge disappointment as for the battery life, it was draining very very quickly almost needing two charges at day, there was a system update available but I was lazy enough to not install the Sony thing on my PC, then I finally got the weekend time and updated it (to the 6.1.1.B.1.10, KERNEL VERSION 3.0.8+) IT SOLVED MY BATTERY ISSUES!!!
The phone has a more than sufficient battery life, I do surf web every time during the day, have updates every 30 minutes for Gmail, Facebook, weather, news, everything, and it lasts from 8.00am at 100% to next 11.00am to 14% (which the preset low batt alarm sounds). Only thing I do is switch data off during night that's it. Screen brightness while in the office is at minimum but you can easily read it very clearly. I do take a lot of pictures for my work and some videos and still get that battery life. The phone is OK, just take care of which software version you have installed. I am sure that if I would turn the data off and activate it only while the screen is on, the batt would last at least two days (I will make this test and see what happens).... cheers.

With data, bluetooth and wifi off, I only lose about 1-2% overnight.
With Data on, this thing drains about 1% every 2 minute or so.
The first week I had my 920 I was lucky if the battery was at or above 40% by 12 noon. The 920 is my 2nd phone line and I am using it mostly to learn WP8, to surf the web some and listen to a lot of podcasts, usually 6+ hours of them a day. The past 4 days the battery in the 920 is showing insane runtimes. It is currently 11:30pm and it has been off the charger since 8:00am, over 15 hours with overs 8 hours of audio podcast listening. The battery is currently reading 61%. I originally got the impression that LTE was killing the battery, but that is no longer the case.
I have a Share Plan with AT&T with 2 phones, a Galaxy Nexus (GSM model from Play Store) and a Lumia 920. I use my Nexus as my main phone line, to access GMail and Google Reader (a lot of Google Reader feeds). The Nexus has been off the charger the same period of time and is showing 41%.
For me wifi destroys my battery for some reason I get 15 hours with wi-fi on or 28 with it off
Interesting, mine will usually run for 24-30 hours before hitting 15%, including regular usage. 4G gives it a whack but generally I find similar to other phones, if low coverage it chews the battery
Reading all the doom and gloom of 4G LTE on various mobile phones, after my 1st weeks experience, I was expecting similar results going forward. But, after 2 weeks of use, the battery falls in line with the results you mention. And, with that I am not complaining.
same situation here.
It looks like the phone needs some days to warm up and get long lasting.
Also I see that wp8 is heavly optimized for background task in order to not consume a lot of battery eg: my phone lasts more than 2 days with light usage.
I listen to podcast for many hours and it doesnt affect the battery that much, in fact I'm surprised by it because I know audio playing takes a load on the cpu.
Mine.. overnight without charge or using the phone it drained from 100% down to 35%. BS
Two words: Background tasks.
Make sure you don't have unnecessary background tasks running. I have less than 5 and my battery runs more than 2 days easily.
How do you kill or monitor background tasks?
I had really good battery time of 19 hours the first day of installing the new firmware, then I enabled bluetooth again and it drains like crazy. its hit or miss but people seem to think that whatsapp drains battery. I personally would like to disable LTE (its really slow in my area) and just keep bluetooth that seems to give me 12+ hrs of battery.

You can block background tasks for 3rd party apps in Settings->Applications tab->Background tasks. There is no way to monitor these tasks because WP OS doesn't offer any such capability.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to block 1st party apps and if they are misbehaving (like sync something over and over), there is nothing you can do about it.
Turn on Battery Saver can also effectively kill all background tasks. But that's draconian. I still would like my smartphone do something in the background for me.
Don't forget, the biggest battery drain factor could be your cell phone signal. If you keep the phone in a fringe area, the cell radio will drain your battery very quickly while try to maintain communications with cell towers. This is outside the OS and you can't do anything about it.
I had a weird battery drain the day after the last upgrade. No apps running in the background BAR the movie that i had paused.. I lost 80% without using the phone in a 6 hour period (post charging). After a reboot it seems ok. Perhaps i should pause another movie to see if it happens again....
I must say that I have mine 2 days and the battery drains too fast... I dont know what to do .. Maybe because its new ? Some one can help me maybe ?

My battery is pretty inconsistent. MOST of the time it's awesome, and will last like 20-25 hours without needing to charge, but that just makes it especially jarring when every now and then I go to check my phone at 4 in the afternoon and it's at critical, and I have no idea what causes it.
Plus when it does die I have to put it on the charger for like 2 hours before it will let me turn it on.
I found interesting point in the battery life today, if the screen is off, the battery drain is in the range of 3-4% which is good, however, if the screen goes on the battery drops like 15% in just 25 minutes. After thinking I tried to set the screen sensitivity to normal and it solved my problem. I kept the screen on for more than 45 minutes and the battery went down almost 6% only which is good. I still have to test more to give a concrete evidence.

I usually run a battery discharge app Saturday night. Then a full recharge with the phone off. That usually gives me dependable battery life of about 12 hours a day for the entire week. If I forget and not run the discharger I notice it midways into the week when I only get about 8 hours out of it.

after updating my phone to the 1314 update, my battery life got worse.
I went from 14 hours per day to only 8 hours.
thanks nokia -_-
note: I was not experiencing any connectivity issues on my phone.
let's see how many people here actually have NFC on and Auto-Brightness on... lol
I used the sleep app last night after charging to 100%, and then I fell asleep with it on.
I woke up to find the sounds still going, and when I checked my phone worried that I killed the charge, I found it still had 92% left. That's impressive.
