Usually, on weekends, or holidays, I use my phone for Angry Birds, many other games, music, etc for a long period of time. Today I managed to get about 5 hours use until the battery got to 30%.
I'm not sure whether or not this is good or bad and so I'm wondering; how many hours do you get out of it, in relation to being a heavy user, medium user or light user?
Thanks
about 5/6 hours max
With normal usage 24-30 hrs. Wth heavy use, 8-10 hrs.

pretty much the same
always have 3g on and im quite sure i listen to music for 7 hours at least while im at my office...and by the end of the day i have like 20%
10 days and still going
With all data disabled most of the time, almost unused, but still connected to the GSM network, mine is now at more than 10 days (and I think it wasn't even fully charged at the start of this period). This is with stock ROM, Apex launcher, almost no other custom apps.
It's hard to have an effeicient answer since it depends on many factors : the way you use your phone, your ROM , Kernel and all setting stuffs etc ... . And even with same settings , two SGS II can have a totaly different battery drain. So, you can compare but it wont realy be so efficient .
Anyway , for me with a usual use : almost 2d and with heavy use about 16-24 h. I m on Wanamlite 10.6 with last Siyah V3.0 Kernel.
At weekends 5 hours max weekdaus prob 8-9 hours
Mod or Die
Plenty of hourly syncing and light use....
Stock rooted KL1 + LPR radio
I have tried 3 different ROMs and with the last ICS ROM i had 8-9 hours with heavy use of 3G/Bluetooth/sync ... and of course it's depends of what apps (games ) i use among the day ...
awesome how some users get 24 hours with a single battery charge.
When I use my S2 as a normal phone, about 20 hours.
But with heaving usage and gaming (which I do pretty much) probably between 6 or 8 hours also.

Woah :O Doesnt matter had "10days" :O
i guess screen on time is more important than overall battery time. I Used to get 4hr screen on time with a full day usage which is quite good for me and i think its average.

+1 Agreed here are some on my screen shots.
Usually prefer to watch youtube video's through browser So flash is must & it is a nice battery drainer too.Plus 4 hours of non-music playback !
Brightness - 20%
When i use gprs heavily it is very less!
Normal use may last a day!
Playing games also burns the battery pretty fast!
I have a Superatmos ROM installed in my Galaxy SII i9100G and I get around 30 to 35 hours of standby time with normal to low use. I do however browse the internet over WiFi some 4 hours a day.
I am quite happy with the performance of my phone.
So far its three months but its like Triggers Broom .

Hi all,
I was wondering what a "normal" battery usage is for the S2.
Mine (cm9) 10% per hour, pretty much idle.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
There is no "normal" battery life. There are literally a million variables and thus no answer.
In terms of expectations - you would expect more life per charge from Stock GB, Custom GB, Stock ICS, Custom ICS in that order. Remember that ICS by its nature uses more resources generally and will not match GB for battery life.
Also, ignore wild claims about many hours with the screen on - it is a trick - they have the screen all black so no current draw...
Last time i was using Ressurection remix v1.3 AOKP i was getting 7 hours per 3% Phone was idle all the time Now i am using Thebyan 4.2 and battery drops 6% per 8 hours (idle all time )
And I am getting around 4:20 hours of battery life with normal usage ( screen on all the time plus Browsing via WIFI) Brightness - 10 percentage.
And while playing HD Games only 90 minutes !!
Well i prefer screen-on time over idle time

^^ this. Probably the best answer I've seen on here all week. No such animal. Just like there's no way you're going to get the same 'performance' with a given rom or kernel as someone else; which makes the "What's the best rom for <insert criteria here>' questions redundant and a waste of time as well.
This morning from 100 to 78 in 2 hours using edge and tapatalk xda forum. Screen at 50, GPS on, little Facebook. on formula one rom
Four days less if i switch the phone on .Even less if i use it .
jje
I get about 2 hours per 1% battery. That is with wifi on and screen off. If I have wifi turned off and airplane mode on I will get about 7 hours per 1% battery.
I always have my phone in airplane mode turned on, and wifi turned on, as I don't use the mobile network, and I am always in range of a wifi network
Cheers corey

CM9 and a lot of AOKP roms drain battery faster. Anyway my battery drain when idle is roughly 1% every 7 hours
well i get a decent life ,iam fully loaded an always install something,android is power hungry,so i don expect much of batt life...but i turn off wat iam not using like data,,,an in the night i listen to dubstep so i keep in flight mode an in morning switch back,so yes neva measured batt life,but happy....
Hello
I've bought a One X+ second hand and the guy that sold it to me said it was only 2 months old. I have reasons to believe he was telling lies.
Here are some screenshots from Battery Stats Plus:

I've only used the GPS for like 3-4 minutes (not using google maps) and Google Maps separately (no GPS) for 3-4 minutes total. I don't know why it shows a big % on battery usage from Maps. Also the battery history from Settings said that I had the GPS on all the time even thought it was turned off.
DS Battery Saver was also turned on (Gentle profile) so it would go to sleep when screen is off.
I generally can barely manage over 24 hours on a single charge (normal usage, 2 hours of on screen time).
When it's sleeping (all communications turned off) i'm usually losing 1% of battery every 45 minutes. Another thing: the last 15% of battery drains in 3-4 minutes when using the phone (browsing, etc).
Is my batery ok ? I think the device's older than 2 months when I bought it because my older Sensation XE could easily manage over 1d6h normal usage even after 1 year.

Your getting simlar battery performance to the rest of us.... My HOX+ needs charging atleast twice a day..
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
I am not really harmed with mine's battery life, ofcourse I would prefer having better battery. But overall I can survive 15 hours with 2 hours onscreen surfing the web /xda
And about 40 minutes hardcore gaming (fifa 14 and other games)
With about 30 minutes call time.
But keep in mind during screen off I have my connections off.
P.S if you can root, you should definetly use "Greenify". It's the perfect battery and usage saver.
My day as you see is short but during the night (around 8pm) when I sit on the phone for 6 hours of intensive gaming and surfing the web, I usually have to make 1 and a half charge

Hmm....well ok. Before buying the phone I read the battery test on gsmarena and was pretty much pleased with their results. But they tested it on android 4.1 whereas I have 4.2.2
Well if you really want to test battery and know if it's bad or not , charge till 100% then remove the plug and keep it sleeping till it runs out of battery. Or check on it after 3 days to see the percentage .
After doing so, surf the web browser till the battery runs out from 100%
Then charge again till 100% and do some hardcore gaming till it runs out.
The final test, charge till 100% then use the phone with your normal daily use.
If you do not like the battery performance you can switch phones.

Hey guys
I got my ultra yesterday and it came with about 40% battery and it took nearly 2 hours of screen on time to kill it which was amazing
I've given it a full charge so this is my first cycle and battery life isn't great with just over 1hour and 10 minutes screen on time which is worse then my 18 month old s3
Will it get better over time? I've got all the power saving features on
Thanks

1 hour 10 minutes from 100 to 0%? You should get around 5-7 hours of screentime. Just keep using it though and it should get better in a few days.

Just went through the first cycle and it was about 3 hours, Battery seems weird on this device, I unplugged it from full at 100% but I leave it on 100% for about 20 minutes after and it went straight down to 99% where as my nexus 7 doesnt do that :S

Hard to tell if it's normal or not. Are you using any apps that updates themselves frequently in the background? Widgets? Whatsapp? FB Messenger? I've had mine in standby for 8 hours (while at sleep) at 100% before, and it was still at 100% eight hours later, so it shouldn't drop 1% in 20 minutes.
Just keep using it for a week or so, and if it isn't better, you might have a lemon. But again, it's incredible hard to say what it might be. You can also do a factory reset and see if that solves anything. It might simply be a bug or an app that's gone rogue.
Agree with LordManhattan and 3mL.
When I first got it, I had the same questions about battery life. I was literally seeing it draining a percent a seconds. There were some rogue apps, like whatsapp and pinger (textfree), that were constantly doing something in the background. Uninstalled those and got much better results. After about a week or so and a few battery cycles, the battery also improved drastically.
Try some of the apps that monitor and hibernate apps, e.g. greenify and wakelock detector. I'm sure there are others but those are the ones I use.
I had a 2 percent drop last night so not to bad
And im not rooted so I cant use those apps at the moment
Ill see how it gets on

I m on stock rom rooted. using stamina mode while allowing some of the apps to run in background. battery life is great
never let battery life go below 50%. on contrary to popular belief, it is not wise to let ur batter drain completely. for the first few cycles refer to the manual
I normally get about 1-2% drain over night, a bit more if the cell signal decides to play up a but.
Over this week I got 4d 12h on one charge with 12% still remaining - very light usage: 3 or 4 calls, a few emails, a few geo-tagged photos, a note or two with poor signal most of the working day.
Its been rather strange for me, on the first charge cycle I got 4.5 hours of screen on time and the 2nd I got 4 hours
Im now on my 3rd and im at 85% with only 48 minutes of screen on time which isnt too bad but I feel like I have to have low battery mode and stamina mode on just to get it through the day
Hopefully Sony release a fix or 4.4 with better battery life

Well i don't want to be rude, but are you just stare to your screen for 4 hours? Or are you also doing something with the phone?
Because it really matters what kind of activity regarding your battery life you're doing. Smartphones are not battery friendly, get your charger with you or buy a mobile charger.
First of all this is my first thread here
I want to share 2 screen shoots for my battery status really it is surprising
First one expecting time is 111 hours
But the second come moooooore 209 hours
So?
It's called Deep sleep. :sly:

I think that ?
It notes how much did it use in last 3 hours. During night phone is not used and it goes to deep sleep to save battery life. Lets say you went to bed with 100% and your phone lost 1% during 8 hours of night. It calculates that phone uses 1% every 8 hours and thinks that battery should last 8h*100%=800 hours (33 days) and its crazy long.
But as soon you start using your phone that predictions get to normal. Also first % of battery lasts longest (not sure why, its same on almost every device I had, guess it has something with battery calibration at full) so it shows crazy ammounts of battery life. Mine personal record is somewhere around 900 hours (I wish) but in the end its down to day or two.
Sometimes when I leave the phone charging on 100% and use the phone, it feels like I have charged it to 105% and first it has to be used like 1 hour to show the 99% numbers on my display [emoji2]
Yeah, 100%(100-99%) last very long. I can get one hour screen on by playing video with it or 20 minutes screen on with browsing. Of course u have to charge the phone for 10-20 minutes more when it just reach 100%.

Your explination is right after 7 month of using I am thinking in begining that the battery will last all of these hours but after I used it it become less for two days
Two days for me is very good comparing with other phone like samsung and apple
G2 idles like a beast, this looks normal
Meh, nothing special
P.S.
That is like after 9 months of usage of the phone

That is becausr our battety is divided into cells ranging from 4 to 6, so the first 2 cells are bigger then remaining so they hold more power that why drain looks slow

Kind of funny, never seen this kind of overall battery estimation on mine, though I get 6-7Hrs SOT.
