Hey guys I am coming from an S4 and I usually get between 12-17 hours of use depending on how much I use it. My best was 24 hours with a full charge. How does the HTC one compare non rooted?
What are the average hours of your battery life?

I had the S3 Prior, fully rooted, hacked, optimized.
On my HTC One haven't had to even touch the root yet because battery is so good. I average about 2-10 hours of use per day and my cell lasts all day. Just got the HTC One about 2 days ago.
GS4 battery life is superior to HTC One. HTC One CAN get bettery battery life if you use it constantly. If on heavy use I get the same battery life with each phone. This is about 10-12 hours. During moderate use, the GS4 just blows the HTC one away due to insane standby. The HTC would do 15-17 hours, and the GS4 can do 35 hours.
Heavy use = 4-5 hours screen time, LTE, awake pretty much all the time.
Moderate use = 2-3 hours screen on time, LTE on. This is like 90% of the time I'm using it.
I greenify everything that is not absolutely necessary. The only thing I don't greenify is phone, sms, exchange serivces, Google services framework. overnight, with mobile data off, I would lose .5%/hour with the HTC one. With the GS4 I lose .25%/hour. That adds up over time. Over 24 hours, that's like 12 hours of extra standby and about another hours worth of screen time.
However, for about 90% of usage, it's not gonna matter since you'll plug both phones in when you go to sleep. If you're doing gaming or something on the HTC for long periods, just make sure you have a charger handy.
If I game for about an hour straight on my HTC One, I will go from 99% on my battery to about 75 to 72%. An hour of gaming will knock your battery down about 25% on the HTC One if that gives you any ideas.
HTC is show

i have a galaxy and im getting some ridiculously good battery with custom rom, im at 10 hours with over 50% battery with moderate usage, i was thinking about switching to amaze because i really need led notification and camera button, can you guys let me know what the battery on the amaze is like how much usage and what percent u have ? i know itll be worse then the galaxy i just want to see how it will be to help me decide
I'm still figuring out exact battery life times, but I'm getting about 5-6 hours with very heavy usage (screen on for about 2 hours total according to battery use).
I'm at 9 hours with 12% left. I'm running unrooted totally stock but with Juice Defender Free on aggressive. Fairly heavy usage since I just got it yesterday and am constantly playing with it. That usage includes 60 min with My Tracks (gps) and PowerAMP running while out waking the dog. However I did have it connected to my pc for about half an hour while i was transferring music.
amaze
damn thats not looking good, anyone that rooted and installed one of the roms get better battery ? because 9 hours with a battery app doesnt sound too good, im at almost 15 hours with my galaxy and i have close to 50% battery left, with moderate usage (some facebooking, lots of text, emails,15-30 mins of gaming) not going to lie the battery on the galaxy with the rom i have is kind of ridiculous, best ive seen, but if the amaze can at least hold for 16 hours on moderate use on a full charge or 12 hours on heavy id be happy

it was along with wifi sharing so that was a lot of power being used
ok
ok thanks, how many hours do you think youd get with music, several facebook notifications, lots of text, several emails and maybe 10-15 minutes of gaming and regular widgets ?

ok sounds good, you guys have any small problems with the amaze that your facing ? like the galaxy has the blob problem which is common, u guys have any similar known issues ?
With all the questions and complaints on battery life, lets determine what your realistic expectations are with an Android Device.

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!
I am tired of my Amaze, the battery barely lasts me more than 5-6 hours and these drops are unbearable.
I started my day 9am today and the battery was down to 20% at precisely 1:04pm.
Just look at these drops.....
Rooted? Rom?
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.
On stock rom and stock battery the battery life on the amaze is terrible.
I have my girls amaze rooted running a custom rom, kernel with setcpu, juice defender and anker extended battery. Now it lasts her all day with out charge in between.

thing is, you should NOT have to do all these tweaks just for a full days use. should be perfect ouf of box
I don't know what you people do, but I consider myself semi heavy user. Today I streamed BT music for an hour at the gym, streamed one movie off Netflix and watched a good few YouTube wrestling matches and had a few calls here and there and a good 50 texts....reading some off the Kindle app and I got 11 hours before a charge.
I get 12-18 on normal usage. Was a light day at work, lol!
Want amazing battery life, then go back to an old school BB phone.....
I am still stock, lol!

That's actually sad that we have to go through all that for decent battery...
I get 6-7 hours moderate usage
And 8-9 with very light usage.
My old G2 had amazing battery life.

This does not look good at all especially the last drop. You might have a rogue app. I would factory reset and start over only few apps at a time so I can identify the app. You may also wanna try other battery like anker.

This behaviour is definitely irregular... Those sharp drops and sudden spikes could be from the battery not being calibrated properly. On average, my Amaze with stock battery lasts me about 14-16 hours with 2.5-3 hours of screen time (lowest brightness most of the time).

Good point about battery calibration..

Most android phones really need to be rooted so you can fully tweak the battery life. My amaze got roughly 16 hours with normal to heavy use with bullet proof 4.0. My phone I'm using now, the mytouch 4g gets around 24 hours with the same use. Before I would be lucky to get 8 hours with either phone. IV learned that you can either complain about things, do something about it, or just get an iPhone and go away . The beauty of android is the ability to go in and tweak.

averaging ~ 15-19 hrs of heavy usage a day on sense 3.5 rc1.7, sometimes Ill use juice defender to help with the longer work shifts but honestly its a huge difference from when I was stock.
its no different from when I was stock on my g2 to when I was rooted, sometimes you just have to tweak a few things to see a vast improvement.
Morning all,
I just woke up and unplugged my phone from the charger after leaving it to charge all night, right. As soon as I unplugged it, THE BATTERY DROPS 96% IN A MATTER OF SECONDS and I get the less than 5% of battery remain. I was like WTF?!?
I believe I found my problem....
Btw, I am on a rooted stock rom and I would consider myself a normal user. Calls, sms, and emails are the primary uses of my phone.
I am completely stock and get about 16hrs to a charge... I run miui music or stock music app for roughly 4 to 6 hrs a day and surf here and market and a bit of gaming.
I set screen brightness to 20% and keep my internet and blue tooth etc off most of the day....
I desperately want to debloat but I'm holding stock till ICS.
Rogue app sounds right along with the bloat like Google maps and Facebook eating up our batteries..
I also use a task manager to kill on command......
We have a hodgepodge setup of bloatware and settings in stock format... But I'm waiting and earning an ulcer till ICS as I know the upgrade will open the door to real development of truly good stuff

I was getting about 3 hours of battery life on Faux's kernel. When I switched to stock I was getting 18 hours
This is my battery from when I woke up until now, about 10 hours so far.
Light usage so far, just while I was at work. Screen was on for an hour.
I'm very happy with my battery life, if I leave the screen off I barely lose any battery not even 1% an hour.
Energy Rom Stock Kernel.

so what was the problem? I saw a huge improvement with faux on stock debloated rom, easily getting a day out of it and sometimes 2+ days with light use.
If you've got a normal Razr poll your on-screen times! I got this phone for probably a week now an screen time seem to just touch the 2.5~3 hour margin, what about yours?
I get the same, I was a bit concerned before I got the phone because of the non removable battery, but i'm really happy with battery. It lasts longer than my nexus s

got my razr in febuary and wasn't happy with the battery, my og droid and my wifes bionic were way better but i'm happy to say that with jd plus i regularly get 18 to 20 hrs,i always charge at 20 to 25 % i also don't kill apps with a task killer anymore after reading about task killers in the forums i love my razr!
Im in the Uk & i clearly chose the wrong phone. My battery drain is immense as i am a heavy user.
2:15hrs my phone from 100% charge was at 5%. I put it on charge n it took 5hrs to get back to 100% with heavy usage
i usually get 3hr-3hr 50mins screen on time, but i have gotten up to 4hrs 50mins on my razr, but i am using it on simple mobile so edge only and i'm not a heavy data user.
I do not use any battery saving apps, only freeze social crap and stuff like that that loves running in the background eating up your battery (provided that you do not use that social crap, of course).

I haven't personally tried JD yet so pardon my ignorance but isn't it just a automated profile setter based on time that turns your connectivity off? :0

That's still some crazy results, I've even tried using screen filter throughout the day with brightness set to half of what already seems to be the lowest
For some light web browsing with flash switched to on demand on but really just 2-3 hours at Max :s
jd plus is totally customizable,for instance i have it set to enable wifi at certain locations like home,ect.when the screen is on ,my battery power has more than doubled since i started using it,today my phonehas been unplugged for6 hours with on screen time of 1 hour 14 minutes and i still have 63% of my battery left, i would post screen shots but i don't know how!
Battery
I got my RAZR in Feb. It got crappy battery life 2-3 hours of battery life. Im medium to heavy user. Since I've rooted my phone 3 weeks ago. I've removed and BloatFreezer most of the apps that. Run in the background I don't use very often. To say I very happy with my battery life I get 6 to 12 hours now. I can work on my car playing Pandora off my wifi and get about 7 hours of play. I've turned down my screen brightness all the way down. Its hard time see sometimes but I deal with. I'm very happy with this phone can't wait till I get the MAXX
I get two to three and a half, four hours os screen time...
That corresponds to a day and a half
Cheers
It really depends on how it's used, if it's a day that the screen is on most of the time & I'm on wifi I can over 6hr on screen time, but totally time on battery won't be much longer. Then only battery saving things I use is shutting BT, GPS, wifi & data if not being used (wifi & data always has either or on) & I use Lux to auto dim using subzero levels in low light(this is probably what helps the most).

Not sure what my time is, but I must charge daily or risk dead phone at night. Phone idle, Android OS, voice calls, display, cell standby and wifi are usually my highest battery users in that order from most to least, everything else is usually 6% or less. Wish I had bought the Maxx as I hate charging daily! Considering buying the Maxx battery conversion kit if rooting and bloatware removal doesn't help enough with battery life.
I didn't vote since I'm not sure on my actual time.
I'm using anker 1900mah battery. From the full charge, I web browsing for an hour and 1 minutes, and the battery had only 67%. That means I'll have 3 hours using it with screen on. Is it normal or too weak? The guy who makes the darkglass rom said his brother can gaming for 4 hours + with his rom and tweak. I installed the same thing on my phone, and for gaming, I think the best it can last is less than 2 hours.

Amaze is known for dying too quickly. The battery at best can last 18-20 hours if you use it frequently for smaller purposes, like texting, checking Facebook etc. Some roms and tweaks do perform better battery wise if you use them long enough but in the start the battery dies too quickly.
