Hi all,
fews days ago i bought alg g watch (79€ in France in all Darty)
100% battery at 11:00 this morning,
73% battery at 23:30 this evening
Firmware 5.0.2 stock, stock applications, screen always on set to OFF, fit on, many notification (mail, twitter, fb, pushbullet and so ), and some friends on mine playing with google now at lunch.
This mean 23% for 12h of common usage.
happy. For a first watch, for 79€ only, for same hardware than new flagship (urbane) we still have a very good toy ^^

I personally have to charge mine daily. If you uses 23% in 12 hours, that is pretty good

custom watchface (if you have) drain a lot of battery
Most of the time I only charge mine once every 2 or 3 days, but sometimes I have a very quick battery drain (screen always off, on on rotate, facer/watchmaker)
I have no idea of what causes it (nothing particular in the battery stats).
Ever since I rooted and installed a custom rom on my nexus 6 my LG G watch has been getting much better battery life. It's probably because of the decrease in notifications and less bluetooth disconnections. My watch use to only last till mid day, now at night I have 50% left.

I charge every day, more to have it available for use and not about to turn off when I go out.
But, I too am having fast drain issues. Usually, the trend is perfectly fine, like in the OP, but it will get into a faster drain rate and deplete after a couple to a few hours instead. Today it happened just sitting all day off my wrist. Went from full charge to 6% in 3-4 hours.
The battery will drain a fair amount on the first day of use since things get cached and downloaded from the phone. I easily get through a day with always-on screen on, but lately I have switched to disable always-on screen and tilt to wake so I have a little bit more of a buffer for those days where I am very active.
I just receive it few days ago and it is brand new one.
After full charge why mine G watch only live for 6-7 hours and run out of batt?
I use all stock and upgrade to 5.0.2. I think it should be longer usage.
Any solutions?

New LG G Watch
Just got it 2 days ago.
I first went through the upgrade to 5.1.1.
I have no custom wear faces on it. I ha it first at always on and then not.
I lost a lot of battery in 3 hours - 90% to 18%. Yes I had notifications on - what is the point if you don't have notifications on.
Please help.
really strange, after flashing 5.1 firware (after full wipe), i lost 2% per hour max.
I'm pretty ok with the battery life on 5.1.1 - haven't use my G Watch for a while now and thought I'd test the new version.
With display always on, notifications on, 50+ apps installed in total, Google Fit running and quite a few custom faces installed (using "Speeds" with time and step counter atm) and my stats show i get almost 30 hours of use.
Testing with display off today. Atm Wear Battery Stats estimates I'll run out of battery tomorrow at 6:20pm and I took it off charger this morning at 6am.
Still nothing stellar, but pretty decent so far.
I use it with display always on.
When on 5.0, It would drain to have about 30-40% after 1 day (from 6:00 to 23:00). Without the "always on", it could manage 3 to 4 days (but that was on 4.4).
On 5.1, it seems to manage to get 50-60% left after one day (again with "always on"). If I forget to charge it, it would be possible to squeeze another day out of it (with some luck).
I did, however had some days (on 5.0) where the watch would get warm and drain itself in 2-4 hours. These were very rare (I always thought these came from an app that got stuck), but in the week before the 5.1 update, I got this three times. I think it was somehow related to the update (maybe an incompatibility in the new Google Play services,...)
My battery life has been stellar on 5.1.1. On the earlier versions, I would be at 40-50% when I got home from work. After the update, I am at 70-75% when I get home.

Battery life is great, but the bad side is that now I often forget to recharge it and today the battery was empty. I can't remember last time I recharged it and the charger is at home.
Damn, i'm complaining because the battery last longer :silly:
something is wrong 3 factory reset later and not bt use and after few hours empty
my battery life decreased dramatically after the 5.1.1 update
After 5.1.1, my watch is lasting much longer. No more battery drain. Happy here!
Likewise, much better battery life and I can turn off FIT to improve it even more.

I don't heavily use my phone, maybe medium usage. However, I usually get over 20 hours of battery life every day, if I don't charge when I hit 20%.

Is this... Normal, or is this... Accurate? I haven't timed the actual hours, only went on the time given by the battery usage app. I -have- calibrated the battery correctly after flashing to CM7.1 nightly (not after each flash, just the first flash).
My old phone (3GS) had about 6-7 hours less, I'm very impressed.
I'm experiencing similar battery life ever since installing Cognition + Entropy and using battery calibration. The battery died fairly quick when stock though.

I admit my usage is pretty light, but 14h to 60% is poor for my usage patterns.
However there seems to be a lot of awake/screen-on time for you...
As to battery calibration - doesn't do anything on our phones except possibly make the fuel gauge COMPLETELY wack out, triggering the fuel_alert wakelock bug. (next kernel will fix that bug though - not the root cause of the fuel gauge wacking out but at least the perma-wakelock it causes.)
I'm stock and getting 18 hours of battery, 5.5 hours of screen on time. This its with live wallpapers, Facebook widgets, etc.

I'm on CM7.1 nightlies. They're amazing. I have tasker running, turnning off wifi and bluetooth and 3G/HSPA+ when not in use. But seeing that people are getting similar or better battery usage is crazy. I can't believe it to be honest. When my 3GS was brand new it didn't get close to this.
Very impressed overall.
I'm lucky to get 2 hours of screen time...
Word this phone rocks.

2hr phone call, 5 hours of local mp3 and another 2 of Pandora on 3G, and some gaming and I'm at 41%. My N1 with CM7 would have died long ago.
i am getting horrible battery life if the average is 14 hours of moderate use... eitehr that or i am a heavy user and dont realize it
Hi, I'm new to XDA...
I have the i777.
How can so many hours of battery life be achieved? I have stock everything. Does CM7 really make the batter life last much longer?
I was getting terrible battery life using the stock ATT build but since switching to CM7 its been a lot better. Sitting at 13 hrs with 26% left. I am trying to figure out why the Android system for me seems to run really high (70% or more). I have sync turned off, no GPS or BT and only use Wifi when needed. I will say that looking at CPU Spy since moving to CM7 my phone is getting into more Deep Sleep which is good. I notice that Google Maps runs a lot as well as the NFC service. Its confusing because NFC isn't even enabled on the phone? Any ideas to lower Android OS would be appreciated.

Interesting. For me on stock, the Display is always the highest percentage.
"Normal" usage, I get at least 24 hours. Haven't tested it since I rooted it and installed UnNamed ROM yesterday...

Those are the correct stats.
One of the main contributions CM7 has to battery life is plain and simple debloating.
For those that have unexplained drain issues, the following technique is useful:
Install CPUSpy
Get ADB up and running on your PC - for Windows users, Droid Explorer is usually the quickest route
Charge your phone, take it off the charger, reboot (this resets all stats)
Reset CPU timers in CPUSpy (menu->reset timers) - they're often bogus on boot
Let the phone sit for a few hours
Check CPUSpy for deep sleep percentages - when a phone is idle in moderate signal, it should usually be 90-95%. On wifi you can potentially hit 96-97%.
If the deep sleep percentage is very low, collect data using ADB:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/wakelocks > wakelocks.txt
Post wakelocks.txt here for analysis.
I got JuiceDefenderUlt and I actually think it's well worth the $. I used it heavily today during for about 5 hours and it didn't dip below 80%, very suprising when bfore JDU it would be at 50-60%. I think I can probably go 2 days without a charge and it might survive.
Everyone 's definition of "medium" or "high" usage is different. Need to post some display numbers.
I think my best one was 95% battery to below 5%, 4 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time, 16 hours on battery.

I wanted to see just how good smart actions work over night, so I charged it to 100% (dropping to 99% immediately) and I have battery extender used to turn off basically everything, no data, wifi, sync, bluetooth after a couple minutes of inactivity and screen off. At 10:22pm power was pulled and phone at 99%. At 7am this morning it was sitting at 95%. Thats pretty damn good! Granted, everything was off, but who needs them on while you are a sleep?
How long have you had the RAZR? I did generally the same thing my first night with it, and the next morning I had 5%

Release day,...Nov 11th. 95% over night?!? Thats insane! Your sure everything is set to off? My Battery Extender Triggers: Display off, no movement, timeframe is made as an all day event, Actions: GPS off, Background sync disabled, cell data disabled, and, bluetooth was on, but will change that.

Somehow, some way, you are doing it wrong...
The RAZR's battery in the first few days of life is full on crazy. Don't even start thinking about measuring your battery usage until a week in with full charge and discharge cycles. Do your best to kill it everyday and make sure you charge it full. You will see over time that it becomes harder and harder to kill.

Agreed. You can't judge any phone's battery within the first week, let alone the first day. After its initial startup, it takes a few days for everything to settle in and play well together. My first day of battery usage was NASTY, but since then (got it exactly a week ago) it has really been amazing!
\\Carved into this thread by my RAZR//
http://android-gz.com
if there's no data, no sync, then of course you'll get great battery life...
You would think but my Thunderbolt would still lose 10% over night.
I've had my RAZR for 2.5 weeks, and made sure to fully drain and charge it each time. I still cannot get over 10 hours of life with little to no use during the day. (couple texts, no calls, fb at lunch break, check e-mail personal and corporate a few times an hour) I've tried the Battery Extender smart actions, lowered brightness to lowest setting, disabled 4G, set dark background, set auto-end tasks after 2 min, and ran battery callibrator.
Meanwhile, my coworkers with the same phone are getting 21 hours on their phones with moderate use including several phone calls and constant texting.
Not sure what I can do from here to get better battery life.
Heres a screen shot of my battery usage so far. Sitting at 80% right now.

use juicedefender beta, it has its own setcpu, so set screen sleep to 300mhzmin max300mhz, disable data donnection + change to 2g mode when screen is off, auto data connection on to 3g for apps you want to choose, e.g. browser, online radio. then turn off 3g data, switch back to 2g on screen sleep.
my battery drains 1 - 2 % overnight when im sleeping (9hours)
i only wish i didnt undersetimate juicedefender, after finally playing around wiht it, i must say every android user must have juicedefender, else your not getting the most out of ur battery, if u want EVEN more, install advancted task killer pro (and kill the trouble some apps, make sure not to kill the ones that constantly restart, it will actually drain ur battery since it gets killed, then starts, then kills)
I'm getting about 11 hours of battery. And its been 3 days. Still calibrating it tho, will keeep u posted.
I want to conduct a little tiny experiment. I want to see if having "In Pocket Detection" enabled under settings ---> display causes this horrible battery drain.
So what you can do is reply back with with a little data. I don't want a full post,just a few words.
The first word will be yes or no. Yes meaning the setting is enabled on your phone, no meaning its disabled.
Next, indicate good or bad. Good meaning YOU think battery life on your razr is acceptable, bad unacceptable.
Next, enter a number in hours on average your phone lasts on a full charge. If you don't know leave it blank. If you entered a number then post with that if you are a light, moderate or heavy user.
Last, put down "4G" if you leave yours on, "3G" if you turn off 4G, and "hybrid" if you go back and forth.
I'll do mine as a template. I'll compile the data if there is enough on a spreadsheet and see if that pocket detection is an issue.

Anyone have any ideas what to look for? I dont think I have a battery drain because with the screen off I lose about .5-1% every hour or so. But when im using the phone, the battery seems to drain very fast. The most screen time I have gotten is 2hrs, and its usually less than that.
Brightness does not seem to matter, I always have auto off and have tried brightness at 20%, 30%, 50% and 60%.
Use this application to locate Battery Drain https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5XYXphQmUuYW5kcm9pZC5CYXR0ZXJ5RHJhaW4iXQ..
Update to the latest firmware or put a custom ROM.
The problem has been resolved. I had also a fast drain battery.
I even had the screen On during the night.
When I closed the eyes it was Off, but in the morning at my wake up it was On
Thanks I'll try the battery drain app.

The battery of my SG3 drains so fast I'm evne thinking of returning it (bought it yesterday). It can't be normal, it's almost like my old iPhone 3G. It goes like 1% per minute or so while browsing.
Did this fix and disabled WiFi, no luck.
Gonna try that app and see if it helps.
I think mine is like that as well. Maybe 1% minute when using heavily. Also thinking selling it. Can't return, bought on Craig list.
Very strange behavior. Something must be wrong with your soft or hardware because this is smartphone with the best battery (except razr maxx).

I am experiencing the same thing since i flashed omega rom v13. i was getting 5/5.5 hours of screen time on stock Samsung rom before i flashed. Right now the battery drains 1% every 2mins when the screen is on :/ (brightness has alwsys been around 20/30%)
Only thing that has changed since i flashed is the fact that i had wifi off during sleep on stock but now its always on. I have tried setting it to always off but it automatically switches to always on everytime i do it for some reason.

I believe this is normal with new devices. It takes time before Li-Ion batteries "adjust".
Flashed my phone to another rom, JB 4.1.1 and it's the same. So no, it's not software issue. Hardware? I don't think so... the phone is new and works just fine. The problem is the battery that it's new, or maybe is damaged... who knows (probably not).
I have the same problem. I see people post threads the battery, that lasts 2 days !
I'm thinking of buying a new battery, just to check if it is a battery thing, if the battery is ****ed up or something... The Galaxy S3, should last for atleast one day! and I can't get even that! is there a fix for that? I can post my battery use from the settings if necessary.
There are loads of threads about battery drain, a lot of it relates to Samsung bloatware and background services like face awake etc, you just need to explore your phone, learn how to use it, and see it up properly.....it is not an iPhone...it requires independent thinking skills
I'm experiencing the same problem on CM9.1. Try draining the battery fully twice. That'll calibrate it and improve battery life.

That's pretty much what everyone is saying. I've never drained it, so I'm wating. Hopefully it'll work.
It can't be software because I changed ROMs like 5 times, everytime installing a different one.

Since two days, I'have the same problem.
Before Wednesday, I'haven't issue about battery drain. My phone battery worked more than 2 days idle with about 4hours screen ON and 1 hour voice calls.
But now, it works fine between 100% and 60% and then, battery drain starts. Just a few hours for the phone to indicate that it's remain 5% of power.
Do you think they are a background daemon running sometimes (why since two days?) ? Or it's a network problem ?
I'll try to wipe my battery stats and fully charge the battery.
Currently, my SGS3 International works with the latest UK firmware : PDA/XXBLG8 - MODEM/XXBLH1

I've had the phone for 2 days now. I consider myself a moderate user - especially during work. Today I had bluetooth and location services off, streamed for a bit, surfed the internet, and did a heavy dose of texting and downloading apps all through 4G (no wifi @ work). The battery lasted me roughly 14 hour due to the usage of it only in spurts. For reference I got into work at 8 and left at 5:30 with 45% battery life left. I then used it only a little the rest of the evening.
However, yesterday was Thanksgiving so I was on it most of the day, and it needed to be juiced up around 9 hours with all the bells and whistles on (phone wasn't on auto bright, etc).
If you are a light - moderate user and do a little application maintenance I can see this phone easily lasting 16-20 hours. When the phone is off it SIPS the battery.
If you lean towards the heavy side then it will need a charge closer to 7-8 hours. I come from a Thunderbolt for reference and this obliterates it. To sum it all up, the battery is better than I thought it would be. The key is to kill services you don't use. We will have to see how it fares when I am in NYC for work with no access to a charger. I'm sure if I use it sporadically I could be fine for an entire day.
Hope this helps.
I hope these screenshots help!
~5 hours on airplane mode.
~6hrs on LTE
Rest is wifi.
Not a super heavy user, but so far i am impressed.
Under 30%, the battery drops so fast! Dont count on 30% to give you anything useful...An afternoon of light texting will probably kill it.
My battery only charges to 99% -- has anyone else seen this? Will my phone keep trying to charge it, and therefore wear out the battery?
Will a QI pad just constantly charge, instead of stopping once its 100%?

Guys you need to be honest with yourselves here, anyone can do everything possible to get the most out of their battery (heck I got 3 days out of a Droid 1 before), but in real world use you'll be lucky to make it through the day if you use your phone a lot. If you're a light/moderate user you will be fine from morning until night, but if you tend to use your phone for hours expect to charge it during the day.

Yeah I'm with most of the guys here - battery life has been great. It beats the brakes out of my GNEX. This is a very efficient phone.
I am getting this phone and an Anker Astro charger, according to these posts I'm more than likely not going to need that charger, lol

I am being very honest with myself. So far, I am getting more battery life than a Galaxy Nexus with extended battery. I hit an easy 3.5 hour screen time yesterday.
Playing games.
Watching netflix
Streaming Pandora to BT for 2 hours.
Streaming Google Play music for 2 hours (headphones)
Playing with settings
Making calls
Texting
MMS
Browsing Internet
Youtube
Half of my time was on LTE and the rest on WiFi. I took it off the charger at 7:30am and it got down to 12% before I put it on the charger at 10:30PM.
My Gnex with the same use would have been completely dead by 3:00pm and only if completely on WiFi.
My usage hasn't become less since I used DNA...if anything it increased due to me setting it up and playing with it. So I really, really doubt I am kidding myself.
I came from the GNex as well. First day I had this device I had to go and work my 16 hour shift(3pm-7am). I always had my GNex plugged in by 7pm after my normal use of browsing, texting, games and such. I made it until around 10pm before I plugged it in, and that was just because it was at 40% and I wanted to top it off before my 2nd shift. Went back to 100% and used it until about 430am when I stopped playing around and read a book on my Kindle. Used my phone as an alarm for every 30 minutes and I didn't plug it back in until I got into my car for the drive home. I've never been happier with a stock device.
I just got this phone. I have a GS3 as a reference for battery life. If I can get three hours of screen time out of it, I will be a very happy camper. I guess it just goes to show you that when everything is working together in harmony and everything is power efficient, the size of the battery isn't nearly as important. Look at the iPhone, no matter how much you want to hate on it, they have been stick sub 1500 mah batteries in there forever, and they seem to last all day for the most part. I would have preferred to have a larger battery, but after reading the reviews this morning on it I was convinced to go out and pick one up. The screen is awesome, I'm really surprised that it doesn't drain more battery than it does.
I just made it to lunchtime without it going dead.
Dropped to 40% with some download ads, a few YouTube videos l, some Facebook and some music via blue tooth.
I had to plug it in a few hrs later when it dropped to 20%.
About as good as my Rezound with a 2800 mAh battery.
Pretty much nothing will last me all day with the data I use.

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.

I applied to google beta program and in less than a minute I got the notification on the phone
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.
