I've had my m8 for 4 days now. I've seen people post their battery stats and they get great battery life. I have gsam installed and my battery life compared to others doesn't look too good. Do I need to wait a few more days to see how good the battery is on this phone?
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Yes
Most people that are getting a day's + out of the battery I suspect have stuff like autosync etc turned off. I'm one of those type of people. Averages per complete charge according to Gsam on my phone is currently at 1d 11.3h (7h 24m active) Screen 4h 13m (3h 1m Max). I got my phone on July 30th but didn't install Gsam until Aug 7th so the current averages are calculated from Aug 7th.
There is a battery thread in the general M8 forum that has a lot of good information in it.

How long will it take for me to see results? I also have auto sync off cause I tend to miss things if I don't do them manually. But I might be forgetting some settings. Care to share the other settings that I need to turn off?

The link I provided in my reply has great information in it. I'd list stuff but I suggest reading through that thread. All the battery life experts are there.
As far as Gsam - some experts for that app are in that thread as well. The averages in Gsam are a running average over each time you charge your phone to 100% (this can be reset in preferences which also has a bunch of other calculation settings).

So I read some pages and my only way to find out about apps draining from the background is to install wake lock detector. But I'm not rooted. Is there an app like that for non rooted phones?

App Sucker - It's in Gsam
There are more apps and services listed if I scrool down that is just the first screen. I know the other thread can be a lot to read. I just read a few pages at a time. 138 pages in a thread..........
You could root and get wakelock access but if you don't want to root I suggest disable all apps and accout auto sync and location services. Then you can monitor with Gsam over a day then start turning stuff you want to use back on one at a time and see how it effects your battery life.

Can I disable at&t hotspots and city ID?
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Sure unless you use those. Actually AT&T hotspots may be a big help if you disable it. What it does is scan with WiFi for AT&T hotspots so if you never use them disable it so it won't scan all the time. City ID I'm not familiar with. I know I disabled it along with other apps I never use.
These are my stats for the day. I noticed that my radio is the same as my battery life. Is that bad? I also changed my data settings to 4g

I'm using the XDA app and it won't let me upload.

Are these stats good? The held awake time is still too high for me. My radio has always been the same as my battery life. Is that normal?
@ cjbart1009
Looks good to me. I'll take 19 hours of battery life any day of the week. :good:
Gsam reports my phone radio as being on the entire charge cycle as well. My only guess on that is there is a small trickle current to the phone radio so it will receive calls even if it is asleep.

i've had pretty decent battery life with my thunderbolt. two things have happened recently - i didn't charge overnight and the phone was dead in the morning (was at 75% when i went to bed) and today, battery dropped from full charge to 60% within 2 hours with nothing going on at all. today when i picked up the phone after being idle, it was very warm. after a reboot it cooled down and the battery burn went back to normal.
my only conclusion is that some program or another is chewing up the battery bigtime. the question is what is it?? anyone have any thoughts on how to figure this out? i have most things shut off, have stopped blockbuster, etc.
this is a great phone and we just have to figure out what the misbehaving programs are....
eric
This is what I'm thinking as well. mine died at 4am from being at FC at 12a. It hadn't done this previously. Go to the 4g signal thread and see if anything you have running in the back ground matches up with mine.
You can try a program called spare parts. Look under battery history and check out all the options in there. I had the same problem starting last night and today, but I haven't figured it out yet either.
Have you restarted the phone? I have much less drain since doing so. Don't fast boot it though, it didn't help when I tried to fast boot it first.
System Panel from the Market might reveal issues as well.
Also take a look at the Current Widget and its logging features.
I've had my suspicions as well about something running in the background. Sometimes it seems like the battery just drains endlessly. I made a profile in setcpu to limit the max clock speed to 245 while the screen is off only. Ever since then my battery life has been awesome.
This morning after being off the charger for 24 hours with moderate usage the day before, an hour and a half with screen on and 45 minutes of phone calls. Still sitting at 47% battery left.

System, panel is easily the best tool for this issue. Free version is great, a t the paid version gives you specific app tracking.

I hope this helps, I installed system panel and found PVMtpservicestart was killing my battery. I did some reasearch and found out that it was a blockbuster app updater. I went into the preinstalled blockbuster app updated the app itself, went into menu and turned off all updates, just doing this has made my battery life go from 2 1/2 hours to 10+.

That should tell you what's chewing up your battery turn down the brightness on your display a bit and disable Blockbuster and your battery life will be noticably better.
Did you recently download Speedtest's app? Yesterday my battery was draining unusually fast, and when I pulled up battery stats it said Speedtest was taking up 85% of my battery! I uninstalled it when my battery was around 80% (after an hour of being unplugged) and my battery went back to awesome. Got home last night about 14 hours after leaving with 40% battery left.
I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.
And juice defender also consume battery.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

Hi guys! It's been a long time since I posted on the TFP forums.
Recently I noticed that the battery life of my TFP is not as good as I wished. DON'T misunderstand. I think that the battery life is pretty good while using it. Though I never measured it, I think I get at least 5-6 hrs (may be more) when I use it. BUT, the standby time is low and that is what bothers me. I get 2 to 2.5 days of standby time. So, if I charge it to 100% today and leave it aside, it will get discharged completely in about 2.5 days. But my iPod touch gets discharged in may be a week, if I don't use it often and I heard that the case is similar with the iPad (it too gets about a week's worth of standby time).
I really want to extend my TFP's standby battery life. It is a huge disappointment when I find out on Monday morning that my TFP is discharged since the battery drained completely over the weekend. My Droid Incredible 2 does a better job by idling the processor at the lowest freq. (245 MHz) when screen is off. And this translates to great standby time. Does the TFP not do that? Can I install an app that can do this for me?
Other issue is with WiFi hogging the battery as shown in the pictures below? Can I fix this? These are my 2 queries with regard to battery life.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried changing your wifi setting to disconnect wifi during sleep (standby)? That seemed to help mine. My wifi is a battery hog too.
Go to settings > Asus Customized setting > (bottom) Disconnect Network During Sleep

And... go to accounts%sync and turn off background data traffic...
If you are not using your prime u should turn off wifi and gps...
....and to add to all that above, why not actually turn it off when not in use.
I turn mine off when not in use because I know one thing for sure - Batteries die out faster the more charge/discharge cycles they go through.
Some tips to improve battery life span & keep them healthy -
Never let battery discharge below 4-5%
Never do charging until level drops to 5%.
When leaving the tablet unused for a couple of days/weeks, do a full charge before leaving it.
Do not keep the battery in continuous charge for more than 8 hours.
Hope this will help you in long run.

I actually do that. But still it doesn't turn the wifi off immediately after I sleep the TFP. I wish there was a profile manager for the tablets as I could easily do all of this as I do on my phone.

The idea of turning the tablet off is not what I want to do. I may be okay to do that on a weekend, but during the week I would like to have it on as I want to he able to use it immediately without waiting for it to turn on. Moreover, since competing devices and even my phone can manage to get better standby time, I am trying to improve its standby time.
I will try the profile manager I have on my phone. Also, I will try a CPU app that will put my TFP in the lowest MHz possible. Any suggestions for a good CPU app for this?

Thank you. This may help me a lot! It is interesting that even after choosing "disconnect network during sleep" the network doesn't disconnect immediately. Also, it still uses a lot of battery. Hopefully this will help.
the answers you seek are in general section. I already posted it up in the thread called .21 wifi battery drain. all my recent posts in that thread details what you can do and what's going on in your tablet. always remwber though, wifi will always report being the biggest battery drainer. the battery usage reporting in prime is flawed. you meed to use an app called Better Battery Stats. its free and here in xda. check out that other thread I mentioned. it has a bunch of things you can do n look for.
Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.
On wifi with little to no voice signal that cuts out frequently, I might get seven hours of screen on time today D:

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

U should reset ur phone. G2 battery is very awesome. I turn on everything 3g, WiFi, sync, Facebook, viber, ... And I use my phone to read news whenever I have time, so my screen time on of my phone one day is usually 4 hours. Everyday I get home with approx 40% of battery. But one thing I recommend u is u should buy the app lux auto brightness replace for stock auto brightness. I was really surprise after I installed that app, it save for my about one hour screen time.

Take a look at the wakelocks, alarms and see what is keeping your phone awake.
Also , posting a screenshot of your battery life graph would be beneficial.
Cheers !
Edit: Agree with quachhanthanh about Lux Auto Brightness. Totally worth the money , even though the free app does its job admirably.
Ah good idea with lux auto brightness.
I will test this too.
The stock auto brightness never works good on my phone.

Ah ok thank you , could have known that myself
It really helps to know the stats to start. A rogue app or service can cause a lot of issues. I had a contact sync issue that drained my battery quickly. Found and fixed.
I use greenify(really good for battery life) and also under google settings, I mean the app you have called google settings, uncheck all those things you dont need including under Android Device Manager -> Remotely locate this device. I disabled alot of things in there. If you need to leave wifi on you can also change your wifi scan intervals to like 360 in the build.prop. Thats just for starters.
Great battery here!
As has been said, a battery graph will help out a great deal. If you have a rogue app, it will show a higher percentage of usage than other similar apps. If services really high, you might want to take a look at exactly which services are running. Be sure to always disable any you don't actually use. Also make sure your screen is set to turn off quickly, or use that nifty knock off feature. One last thing, if you are in a spotty coverage area, your radio will broadcast at maximum power trying to find a tower. That searching will kill any battery.

I'm getting horrible battery life.. About 2.5 hours screen time with 45% left. Screen has only used 20% of the battery.. its mostly being used up by Android System (33%) and Android OS(13%). I've got wakelock detector installed and its saying most of the time my phone is in deep sleep... God know's what's the issue.
P.S: I'm even using DS Battery Saver to force deep sleep... I really don't know why the OS and system are using so much battery!
P.S: Using better battery stats, it seems I'm having the activity manager causing wakelocks and the alarm rtc and powermanager service causing wakelocks... anyone has any idea how to stop this?
Almost 40hr with 4.35hr of screen time and still 38% left.
What can i say. I am happy
in two days and im with 20% , is that good or bad?
with normal use

Depends on what you do with the phone. I can drop 20% in like 3hrs easily using spotify alone.
At the moment im at 37h 12m with 3h 8m screen on. Im at 40%.
Here are my stats. I wonder why there's such a variance between different phones. Do LG source batteries from many different manufacturers? Maybe they don't do enough QA on the batteries? Battery life for me isn't terrible compared to other Android phones I've used (many won't even last a day), but I definitely need to charge it every night.

Useless, can't see your app usage.
I recommend posting in the comparative battery analysis thread.
Make sure you post all screen shots otherwise OP will be on your case.
