So what's the final verdict on the s3 battery life?
I have read articles that claim that it is great.
I have read articles that talk of a bug that causes battery drain.
I have read articles about official and unofficial fixes.
And I have read articles of these fixes not working.
I'm considering getting one -and I'm not interested in voiding my warranty or risk bricking it, because I already had an issue with a note and when I took it to the shop they told me that they couldn't service it because I had updated the software myself. They stole the inner components. (When I took it to the shop, the phone would still turn on but not boot, but when they gave it back to me ten days later -it wouldn't even blink. I took it to another shop, and they told me that it had been tampered with and parts had been replaced).
So, is the battery life a crapshoot ?
Nothing wrong with the battery life. Even with heavy use you will get a day. Having come from an sgs and sgs2 I have to say this is amazing!

For me i thought it was dreadfully low when i first got it. but then again i was on it 24/7 when i first got it n still got a full day of use.
I get about 2-3 days now with daily use. mainly because ive tweaked the display brightness (which accounts for ~50% of battery use) and switched to a dark theme.
I can get up to 7 hours of on screen time. Compare that to my 4 hour screen time on my One X.
So the issues of battery drain have been masterfully dealt with, or are you guys the few lucky exceptions?
Because I've read a lot of articles complaining about battery life (and some kind of bug on the international version of the S3).
But if it's as solid as you guys are saying, I may go pick one up, today.
I can't go more then a full day with medium usage.
I do however like my screen BRIGHT as the sun, good for outdoor use. Gone are the days of 3310 where after a week i remember the thing needs charging lol.
Don't forget, you can always carry a spare battery if your away for a while, juice defender helps too

I get around 14 hours per day which is good, but what I get around 3-3.5 hours screen time, compared to my desire HD that's heaven. Brightness about 25/30%
And seriously people I don't know how you get that timings like 7 hours and such. Are you guys on stock/unrooted? If yes, then please someone tell me how.

I am on 50% brightness.
Rooted stock ICS ROM. Tegrak overclocked to 1.6Ghz.
Tons of bloatware removed.
Touchwiz frozen with Titanium Backup.
I get anywhere from 5-7 hours of on screen time depending on what I am doing.
After having owned the device for a few days, I concur with the general consensus. The battery will give you about a waking day's worth at moderate use. You definitely need to charge it every night, if you're going to use it anywhere near the way it was designed/meant to be used. But for intensive use, this will not give you a full working day, so you need to be able to charge it in the work place.
The battery life of SIII is much better than it's compititors like One X.

I have both. On screen time is about 6-7 hours on GS3 and I can get 5 on a good day with the One X.
Still, there are things I like about both of them.
I can hit 5 hours screen time with 2x% left with some moderate browsing and wifi constantly on
I willing be ditching my Note 2 and I want to know from you guys that have had experience with the dna your overall opinions on the battery.

right now i'm at 37%. off the charger for 12 hours, with 2:20 screen on time. i'll get 3 hours screen on by the end of the day. this is using wifi all day, taking many pics, sending lots of texts and MMS in an area with crappy 4g service (so MMS take forever to go through, if they do) and plenty of emails..then used facebook, instagram, tapatalk, etc.
on 4g, i'd probably get 10 hours or so with 3 hours screen on time. yesterday i had 16.5 hours with 3 hours screen on time on wifi/4g mix.
I have very good 4g where I live and I always use wifi when I'm at home. I mainly read up on tech blogs, a lot of Web browsing a few quick videos and some picture taking. So im hoping I can get 12 hrs.

Everyone I know with a s3 gets about 4 hours on screen time, which the DNA can easily get. I've gotten above 5 a couple of times.
Either you got a lemon of a DNA or you are confusing the s3 with the note 2.

Battery life for me has been awesome. Coming from the Rezound, on a good day with medium to light use (for me) I'd be lucky to get 12 hours. I bet I could go two days on my DNA before I'd HAVE to plug in. As always, YMMV.
On days when I use my DNA heavily (3+ hours of streaming videos with some web browsing mixed in + another combined 1-2 hours of texting, checking FB, etc), I can make it from 6AM through to 12AM. Granted, I'm usually at around 9% by 12AM, but I can still make it through the day without needing to worry about battery. On days when I just use it for the 1-2 hours of texting, checking FB, etc., I can go for 2 days before I need to charge. I am mostly in 4G LTE areas, with around 1 hour combined time spent underground with no signal. My mobile network is always on, I never use WiFi, my auto-sync is always on, and my screen brightness is set to around 40%.
So in my honest opinion, the DNA's battery is quite decent. My brother has an SIII and he doesn't get anywhere close to these numbers.
I'm on my second day of using the phone (I had it on the charger for hours the previous day until around 4:30 P.M.) It is currently 9:56 A.M. the next day and I have about 46% on the battery (Quoted use time is 14h 29 min on battery). This is on moderate use, so not too shabby. I have never had a good battery in any of my phones (I came from the regular Droid Razr, so 2020maH vs. 1780maH) so I am used to not having a good battery.
FYI, I rooted this and flashed a ROM on it about a week ago, and there isn't any definitive upgrade over battery performance yet. While it's nice to have no bloatware, I haven't found anything out that really is much of a benefit over Sense 4.1 in terms of performance/battery. Too many bugs to work out yet.
Battery Life
The battery life on the DNA has FAR EXCEEDED any expectations I would have had.
I have had the phone about 3 weeks now and I do not use it heavily, so I have gotten up to 3 days, 6 hours of battery out of this thing.
The least I have gotten has been about 23 hours and that was driving from NH to NYC and making calls, texting(not while driving of course :angel: ), GPS navigation running and checking things like FB and Twitter. Average seems to be about 29-30 hours for me.
So I am VERY pleased so far, HTC did a great job with battery management.
I'm coming from a T-Bolt, which is known by all to have horrific battery life.
The DNA has blown me away in terms of battery life.
I dont do video or music streaming. But I do heavy voice, txt and constant data (exchange push, gmail, and sending lots of emails per day). Also a fair amount of web browsing, FB, twitter, and all that stuff.
Im coming from an evo lte to the DNA. Its really amazed the hell outta me the difference. I mean the evo has dual core and a smaller screen and no were near as powerful. How they can make something use less juice but that much stronger is really cool. Id say 30% better. You want me to solve ALL your battery needs and questions? Best damn thing I ever bought. You wanna talk about powerful! I rate it a 6.5 outta 5 stars lol.

With my GS3, I would range anywhere between 18-30 hours with 4+ hours of screen time. That was on ICS or JB. I was rooted with custom ROM's, but I didn't do anything special other than that. A lot of it was with the stock kernels.
I'm only on my 3rd full day with the DNA and I'm keeping a very close eye on battery life. I want to make sure I'm at least getting close to my GS3 otherwise it might not be a worthy move for me after all. So far it has been doing decent but I haven't been able to have a normal usage day yet. Today would be my first normal usage day.
If the battery holds up, I like the DNA more than the GS3, so I would keep it. If the battery doesn't hold up, I'm going to consider the Note 2.
I'm on my first full work day. Pretty confident that ill make to the end of the day.
Only issue is that I had to change my habits a little. Stock vs stock with gs3 is clear winner as far as anything media related to battery.
By no means is it horrible.

Well, I've had an entire day with the S4 now, and I can confidently say, "big whoop." yes the hardware is impressive. Yes I'm getting Quadrant scores over 12,000. Yes it has removable storage. Yes it has a removable battery. Yes the dev community is active. In the end I'm struggling with a case of who the F cares?
Recently I've been camped on a Note 2, and I'm really underwhelmed by this S4. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I was thinking there would be at least a little sparkle. The gimmicks are worthless for the most part, the display doesn't dazzle me the way the DNA does, and the build construction while better than the S3, is nowhere near as pristine as the DNA.
In all honesty, I miss being part of this HTC community. In the end I couldn't live with the DNA because the battery just wouldn't hold out long enough for me to make it through the day. I'm willing to accept that as a deal breaker. If it weren't for that however, I would probably be sticking to the DNA camp for a long time. The Samsung hardware specs are impressive, but the DNA has_soul_. I don't know how to put it any better than that. I'll probably go back to the Note 2 for the screen real estate and stellar battery life, but I'm going to continue to miss this forum. I won't miss the S4 one bit.
Take this post for what you will, a comparison of htc/sammy, a rant, some addled thoughts late at night, whatever er. Feel free to chime in if you want, or not. Feel free to delete the thread if someone thinks it's not relevant. I just had to get these things off my brain and onto the forum I care about most on XDA.

For people having battery issues, there are a lot of things to try. Depending on kernel, configuration, etc. I have had crazy amazing battery life. It really varies though and there are some things that can just totally wreck battery life. Just have to be mindful of it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Well, in regards to the s4, battery life was horrible regardless of what I did. I fun minimal stuff that syncs. No social networking crap or anything and it managed to hit 46% after 8 hours. The same usage on my DNA and I get a minimum of ~12 hours at 50%. Best I've done on a charge is about 22 hours. That alone was the straw that broke the camels back...

Your DNA doesnt last you the whole day? What are you doing on it? I am running pio's PAC rom with crpalmer's kernel(and even before his kernel) I was *easily* getting 30+ hours with normal usage(messaging every ~15 minutes, around 1-2 hours of browsing reddit, various tinkering, and phone calls).

I owned three different DNA's over the course of about four months, and no matter what I did I couldn't get more than about 12-15hrs max from the battery. I was more than mindful, I ran battery stats until I was blue in the face, I ran multiple ROMs and kernels, bought two wireless chargers, etc. I'm jealous of those who would get 30+ hours on a charge, but it just wasn't possible with the way I use my phone.
Under the same or harsher conditions, I get around 30-48 hours on the Note 2, including up to about 5-6 hours of screen time. Not trying to say the Note is better, just relating experience and one key factor in my handset choice. If I had liked the S4,it would have required an aftermarket battery for sure.

Average battery life with newts sense 5 and beast setup default is 22 hours. Each day I do over 3 hours screen time and several calls. It lasts me a full day and that's all that matters to me.
Just curious but why do you need more then 13-15 hours of battery life? I understand its convenient if you're ever gone from home for a long time but you couldn't invest in a battery pack or carry a charger with you at all times just in case you are gone for a long time? I'd understand if you were only getting 4-6 hours of battery because that's what I got from my Gnexus. I'm up and at the gym at 6 in the morning and I don't have to charge my DNA until 6-9 pm when I finally make it back to bed with the stock rom (2.06) running 2x battery.
Glad to see people feel like the DNA is still a stellar phone. I was really curious to see if I should have waited to get the S4 or the HTC One if it ever came to Verizon. Now I don't regret getting this phone for free. It was practically stealing because it is such an amazing phone.
Flame on !!! I've been saying the same thing about the S4 and HTC One and have been beat down.
how the hell is your battery life on newts sense 5 22 hours?? I get like 13 maximum. wtf. and it's like barely 2 hours screen on.

I can see people enjoying the S4 less than the DNA, but there's no way the DNA beats the One. Not in any universe.

i've been with android since 2010, and i consider myself a power user. i text multiple times a day, always use 4G etc. i have everything syncing at all times.
i used to get 14-15 hours, and 3 hours screen on for the DNA until around Google I/O when they updated something. the play store got EXTREMELY slow and it would take 20 minutes to download a 15mb app, and my battery went to garbage.

I honestly wouldn't know because I'm on stock and I can get 2 days+ with light use and my phone can last almost the whole day with heavy. I'm on stock though.

You need to qualify your results with how you use the phone. One can get your results easily with few calls and minimum screen time. 3 hours of screen time is nothing.
Because with the MJE build, many people were getting 5-6 hours screen on time. While 3 hrs screen on time is more than enough for me, for many people it is not. (I don't understand how someone can be on their phone for 6 hours a day, but hey, whatever floats your boat)

My point exactly. I've grown tired of flashing stuff I guess. It's gotten quite boring. Not much changes but the skin of the OS.

Lol. I thought you all were lying, because in 15 hrs I was getting 2 1/2 to 3 hrs screen on with 5% battery left. Now better life with 56% battery left.
So I had Vzw check my battery and they said the battery was fine. I had them send me one anyways. . Amazing difference in battery life. My G3 can't even come close to my N3 battery life now.
Very happy I read these comments. I wouldn't have got a new battery otherwise.
Edit: After full discharge.
3 hours of battery life is terrible how is that good? We go by on screen time 7 is good I've heard of 11 with a certain rom but other than that ignorant to post a topic saying u don't know why then you post bad battery times how is this helpful??

Hi there,
I bought a Nexus 9 on the google store when it comes out. I had to change it 4 times in a row due to lightbleed, overheating, backside problem, problems with buttons. Finally I ask for a refund.
When does Google and/or HTC make a Nexus 9 without all these issues ?
When I pay 489 € for something I expect that the product is quality made.
Thanks.
Well, supposedly HTC released a statement saying they fixed the issues, but obviously there's nothing indicating they actually did anything. From what I've been reading here and on Android Central, a bunch of people are reporting luck with the white 16gb versions or either of the 32gb versions. I totally agree on the whole price/quality thing.
Got mine day one and zero issues. There are good ones out there.
I had no issues
No problems at all: Back is good, minimum to no lightbleed.
Only the power button is a bit "loose" on one side

HTC did no such thing. You're confusing rumors with official statements. The rumor is based off a Reddit post.
no problem
I just got a 32GB WiFi only, not problem at all : the back is firm, no lightbleeding (I didn't notice it), buttons perfect.
I got one from Amazon yesterday. The backlight bleed wasn't bad at all, but the buttons were a bit recessed. I asked for an exchange, and that one arrived today and the backlight bleed is actually a little worse, and buttons more recessed.
That being said, after using the N9 a lot over the day, and comparing to a friends iPad, the backlight bleed isn't bad at all on the first one I got, and I've gotten used to the buttons. The back has one spot with tiny flex, but nothing notable (and impossible to feel once my Devicewear case arrives).
Both units were 32GB White October 17th devices. So far I'm sticking with the first one I got, and so far I'm loving it.
Never had an issue with mine. 32 Gb, black pre-ordered

I got lucky,
My first had massive bleeding, send back and got a better offer from amazon (returned nexus with damaged package for 150$ off).
Here i had only a very slight bleeding and decided to keep it instead of rolling the dice all over again and maybe never get a better one )
The keys are working but they are awful, first time i appreciate the wakeup by tapping function (normally i dont like functions like this and prefer the hardware button)
overall for the price i got it is ok, the beautiful screen (and i prefer4:3 for reading and working on) but seriously the build quality is awful.
I got my Nexus 9 a few days after it was released from Best Buy so I assume it's of the first revision if there are indeed multiple revisions. I haven't had any problems since day one and am still loving it!
got mine today without any issues thus far. the only thing i'm hating is the freaking slow charging... and this is from someone who has a galaxy note 10.1 2014. at least the gn10.1 would quickly charge to 80% before the slowdown begins. i'm only getting up to ~1000mW using a variety of chargers and cables, including the stock one, anker, samsung's, asus - all the non-htc are 2A or higher.
did have an issue of ripping the back cover off trying to get the damn thing out of the box.

Haven't had it long enough for a full charge. 1.25hrs and I went from 38% to 64%.
Checking BMW pro the last 30 minutes is where it jumped to 1400mW. It should settle after a few cycles. I got this new at 48%.

IMHO, 2-3 hours is pretty quick for a full charge on Nexus 9. What was your expectation?

dunno where your math shows 2-3 hours. 1.25hrs = ~24% per hour. then don't forget that just about every tablet trickles at 80%.
check the logs from last night and 63 to 100 took 2h 5m. 63 to 80 took 50min. the last 1h 15m 80 to 100. so going up to 80 really isn't too bad.
2 hours of screen time and i used 9.6% per hour just web browsing, looking at webms and and a little h264 pron:good:... this is with usb's kernel and 0% brightness - i like it dim and this is a bright ass screen!
after a few more discharge cycle we'll see how it settles. it's not as bad as my first impression, just a little quirk on my first 10% taking an hour.
as much as i'd hate carrying a separate charger, i kinda wish they'd start adding a dedicated ac charging port. my samsung 700t used to take 2.5hours 0-100.

My Nexus 9 takes on average 2.25 hours to charge from 0-10% to 100.

How big is the battery on the 700t?

thanks for the info. we'll see if mine does the same after a few cycles. loving it so far and the battery life's been better than a lot of the reports - my results have generally been better than most because i mainly use it a 0% brightness, no haptic feedback, and location off unless needed (used tasker script for that).
according to some specs it's 6540mah, just a bit less than the nexus 9. the charger output, maybe 30W?? it only ran for 5.5hrs normal use for me. my old 500t took 1.5 hrs and i think it was a 4000mah battery and last 9-12hrs depending on usage.
I believe this type of question on a forum that offers support is useless.
Most people without issues do not look for forums.
do consider, the 9 has a 6700ma/h battery.
It takes a lot longer to fill up that Dodge Ram Dual Axle truck than a Geo Prism.
