Recently the digitizer started acting up on my vzw G2 so I bought another phone. Without a need for the g2, I just let it sit and noticed that it didn't die very quickly. Once it was around dead I checked the battery and it turns out it had over 100 hours off charger with 2 hours, 2 minutes of SOT. It was on wifi/lte during those 2 sot hours and on wifi only while it was just sitting. That impressed me and I just thought I'd share it.

The phone was receiving notifications from messenger and email, etc the whole time and the led was pretty much always blinking. Stock unrooted lollipop ota with no battery saving measures. The battery saver kicked in at 15% battery automatically.

I recently noticed that putting the G2 in 2G only saves a lot of battery: I can get 5 days with 3h of screen time now! That is with very light use (a bit of browsing/email/calls/gps): gps/bt/wifi normally off, but Autosync gmail/Touchdown/Whatsapp on, at night data is turned off for 8h. I can easily live with 2G for data during a work week, since most places have wifi anyway, and I can manually switch to 3G when faster data connection is needed on the road.
On 3G (I don't have 4G) I can only get 3d standby max., with 3h screen time with the same usage pattern. I had noticed this on my SGS4 before (battery was bad eitehr way), but I was shocked to see it makes such a huge difference on the G2. I also have a Jiayu G4S (Mediatek, except for GPS a good experience) and with that 2G/3G does not make any difference at all.

hey guys, I have both the Flyer 3g, and the EVO View TAB. And i noticed the battery life on my Flyer sucks. it will not last half as much as the view. I think the View has a 4000mah battery, does anyone know if its the same for the Flyer 3G?
if not does anyone know if i can maybe buy a replacement battery for my view and solder it on my Flyer(assuming its soldered on)?
I haven't really had a problem with battery life... 8+ hours of work use (you know, youtube, note taking, checking email every 5 minutes...)
I don't know if anyone would bother creating an extended battery for this, since the battery is not removable... not saying it's impossible, but I haven't found anything...

I wish i had 8plus hours. I wonder if its the phone calling thats been draining my battery.
Well ... i use battery monitor all the time. What I found out is that with 3g disabled notetaking plus audio recording consumes an average of 600 mah. With 3g enabled it jumps up to 850. With 3g enabled i get 4h 30m display enabled. Without 3g but still using wifi i get 6 hours of display enabled
Think about getting a battery pack like the treckstor dual port. It can charge the flyer up to 80% battery life.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Let try custom ROM.
The official rom make me unhappy with poor battery life.
I try many custom rom.
Custom Honeycomb still no good in battery life.
Now,i use i00 GB 2.3.4,it 's good battery life for me

There seems to be a lot of speculation and hype over the razr maxx battery.
Some people get 2 - 3 days, some only 12 hours.
I for one, get about 12 hours with moderate - heavy usage (ocxasionally).
As we all hope for we want that 17 hour /21 hour talk time motorola tells us.
I am using a Gsm model, so i would have expected a longer talk time than the 4G lte versions. It is a 3200mah battery (4G gets the 3300mah?)
I only get about 12 hours of continuous usage (5 hours off the 17 hour benchmark)
So im going to ask everyone that owns a razr maxx to screen shot their talk time.
Using the gsam battery monitor app which gives a good indication of how much talk time left based on calculations and usage.
My talk time, stand by and average time left is here:

With cpuspy app; it is properly deep sleeping too and under locked to 300mhz on screen off:
1)What's everyone else's maxx battery life like? Please post screen shot
2) does your razr maxx battery read 3300mah or 3200mah? Mine reads 3200mah..
At the moment it's been 3 hours and it's - 8% already.. Only played Internet radio for 15 minutes which drained 2%

I'm finding it lasts just as long as my desire z, which had less than half the battery size! I get a day comfortably but that's not the 2 days comfortably I was expecting/hoping for.
Don't have a screenshot but on my last charge it was around 1 day 2hrs, screen on 2.5hrs, no wifi, gps/bluetooth off. Using gsam and cpuspy and all looks ok pretty much. Although, digging into gsam app sucker, I notice that kernel is always the highest and I also notice that the sensor useage (accelerometer/pressure) is always on roughly about the same as screen time but it has a LOT of wakelocks. Might try disabling that for a while.
But I feel I should be getting much longer than I do. I do have facebook but it's time on and wakeups don't suggest any abnormalites.
I see mention of some people finding out what size their battery was, how are they doing this? Battery monitor widget says 3200mA but is there another method people are using?
Also, I seem to lose roughly 5% an hour battery mostly idling, this seems far too much.
Screen shot 1st day had razr maxx. As a test I turned on absolutely everything I could, 4g, wifi, bluetooth, gps and maxed out screen brightness and managed to still squeeze out 16hours of battery life. The entire time I was listening to music, texting, surfing the web, watching video's while running a live wallpaper.

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design
Ah, that reminds me that I need to install adb. Would the android terminal emulator provide this on a non rooted?
EDIT: Yes it works. Battery is 3200.

I bought a fairly new unlocked, rooted (but stock) i717 just under a week ago. I'd been looking for the T879 so I'd have something similar to swap back and forth with my S2 but couldn't find one.
Initially, I figured battery life would be fine based on my internet research but I might have issues with speed and coverage. What actually happened is my battery life stinks and I get pretty good speeds in refarmed Chicago with higher upload than the S2 ever got.
Here's where I am for battery life-

I have the same settings on the S2 and get much better battery life with the same use. Any thoughts?
Here's my speed results, fwiw-
Your pic shows that you rebooted your phone 1 hour 47 minutes ago and that will reset all battery stats.
That's when it was fully charged. I don't have a lot of "evidence" as after the first day or two of such behavior I was sticking the sim back in the S2 for work.
Maybe this will help. I've been using it sim-less on wifi only lately but today I tried using it as a regular phone. Stated at 95% and took these at 15%. Ugh. I just ordered a 2700mah Anker; hopefully my battery's the problem...-
Have you tried without LTE yet? - that is known to be hungry.
I've only had it on TMobile; no LTE yet in Chicago and I'm not sure it will work on TMobile LTE anyways.
I came from an S2X and have noticed the same. The screen always hogs battery and I sometimes don't get a day from the charge. I tried playing with a different governor and that helped a bit, but frankly the battery on this isn't as good as my Hercules. Mind you, the old S2X maybe had an extra hour or hour and a half so at least they aren't grossly different.
I might play around with underclocking or other governors, but I don't know how much more one could do. Oh well, I just accept it as it is. I still like this phone, but battery could be a bit better in my opinion. Oh well, just me.
Carry on all

I believe that if in Settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode you allow it look for LTE then it will energize 2|4 antennas rather than one. I don't know if that is accounted for in "Cell Standby" or not. Turn it off when you don't need the LTE service.
Your stats show what I would expect - your beautiful screen is consuming your battery. Some ROMS are better than others at battery conservation.
So far I am quite happy with "Vanilla". Today I'm at 7 hours, mostly idle with 80% battery left using 35% screen and 30% Cell standby on LTE with Auto brightness and 1 min to display sleep.
Thanks Dan, when I get off the train I'll swap my sim back in and have a look.
Fwiw, I have a good data widget on my home screen and use that when the sim's in it.
When I got to mobile networks all I saw were 2 TMobile's and three AT&T's with no option for LTE or to even view the above.

I don't know for sure and do not have the same ROM as you but there is some way in one of those Mobile Network menus (Not in APN section) to specify 2G only, CDMA, GSM, GSM+HSPA, GSM+HSPA+LTE.
Running stock unrooted. Android 7....what's everyone getting for battery life. Mine sucks. Getting around 3 hours screen on time. Android OS is using as much as the screen is.

Same thing here after updating. Android OS is currently at the top with 10% followed by Android System with 9% in my phone at the moment. System is draining more than the screen. Weird.
Same here. On DP5 battery life was better for me.
same for me, system and Android on top, weird.
What's the reported "Keep Awake" time for those processes? Right now, for me, is Screen on top with 10%, Android System and Android OS next with 8% each. However, the keep awake time is only 3m41s and 11s respectively. That doesn't look too bad, actually.
The OS requires almost a week to settle. Calm your tits.

I installed it last night and so far today I'm at 3% per hour after 9hr25min elapsed. This only has an hour of screen time but that includes about 20 HDR photos (which in MM would have KILLED my battery), BT and WiFi are both on continuously but not connected, GPS is on high accuracy, screen timeout at 1 min, several reboots cycles (trying to figure out how to wipe the cache), etc. In other words, I'm on track for a 30+ hour day, and I'm not doing one thing to try to conserve the battery. Granted there's not much SoT so far but still, I'm impressed. Even more so because tribal knowledge seems to think that the OS needs a few days to "settle down" before true battery life can be assessed. I'm not sure I really buy into that but if it is true, the battery endurance should be stunning...
Have been getting the same results in the Beta and now with final release having the same problem./ Battery life is no good. And doze doesn't seem to kick in even at night. Android os and Android System taking as much mah as the screen. Not good.

Here's what mine's doing so far. Note that it seems to Doze more or less the instant the screen shuts off.
Same issue here, battery life isn't super impressive.
These don't have much meaning without context: How are you using them? How much SoT? Are all the radios on? Etc...
Did factory reset. See if it helps. I'll post after it, "settles in"
Doze seems to kick in, but I don't know whether made it more or less aggressive than before (I'm guessing less), where battery gains are now, and how they're spread out. On MM, I was getting the typical 2-3% drop every night. For the past three nights with N, the drop is 5-6%.
Received the device a few hours ago and updated to N.
All default settings, no additional app.
No 3G/lte as I don't have yet a nano sim.
Bt is on but not connected.
Positioning is on battery saving.
Screen brightness is at 33%.
After 40mn of web surfing with wifi, or playing with the menus I lost 6%.
I'm happy with that :good:

Quick question how did you update so quickly if you just got it?
My second cycle but this time with Ninja Kernel and some kernel tweaks. With sync and location enabled the whole time. Lots of web browsing, video streaming, plus a few minutes of gaming and phone calls. It's not spectacular but not too terrible for me either.
Mine isn't bad. Updated from DP5 using OTA in TWRP.
Unencrypted, rooted, with EX kernel and some CPU profile.

Getting about an hour less sot on nougat than m.
They seemed to have fixed the performance issues of m by sacrificing screen on battery life.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Redmi 4X before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
7-8 hrs on Full network on and medium brightness
Minimum of 5.30 hrs on full brightness and 4g+youtube
Maximum is 9.30 low brightness no data and only text and calls in b/w.
Anywhere between 8 to 9 hrs with moderate to heavy usage, wifi,data always on. Occasionally over 9.5 hrs on casual usage with video streaming, music etc
8 hrs under heavy usage (games, browsing, music, listening to music while browsing and gaming). Haven't tested light usage, maybe it'll pass 9-10 hrs.
6-7h on mobile network
8-9h on WiFi

Still got this massive battery drain, doing nothing.
I ha e to charge the phone 2 times a day, it has 3:00 - 4:30 SoT
PD1: Pls help someone, i don't know what to do, I'm about to sell it cheaper and buy a different model, atm I've XRN4X (Nikel 4GBx64GB)

Well normal is like 7h on data and 8-10h on wifi. Turn off data when not using the phone, reduce brightness, disable location when you don't really need it.
