Just like the title says, how's everyone's battery life, all i can say is mine is meh, not as good as i thought it could be, it's about the same or less than my previous phone surprisingly.
20 hours total, 3:15 screen on time with 25% battery left. My Xperia Z1s would've have gotten around the same maybe 4 hours at 25%
I'm only on my 3rd day with the phone, but the battery life yesterday really shocked me. I came from a water-damaged Xperia Z3v (thanks Sony), and I could easily get 2 days of use out of it. This phone appears to have similar battery life, but I spent most of the day on voice calls and only using it occasionally. Not a ton of heavy browsing in an airport, for instance. I was at home on WiFi all day.

I've been getting 20+ hours with around 5hr SOT these days. Left with ~20% battery.

WAT, is this through data or wifi only or combo of both? I have data on 70% of the day from 7am to about 4-5pm and so i get home with about 55% at 5pm with 1 hour and 30 min of SOT then once i get to 4% (at like 8pm) on wifi my SOT is 3 hours and 50 minutes to a little over 4 hours
my phone must be defective

Impossssibruuuu, my mom has the z3v and we took it to the pool and used it for 1 hour under water (of course taking it out every 1-3 minutes then dipping it back in) her phone still works fine, but i do have a question, did some of your google apps not work through data? I might have to factory reset hers to fix it (i've tried everything such as resetting google play services/framework etc) also i find the s6 edge+ battery not that great as it is about the same or worse than my Xperia Z1s i had on tmobile. Actually, my Z1s easily made it to 4 hours where my Edge + struggles and through the same combo of lte/wifi what I said in the post earlier
edit: just noticed your phone doesn't get a horrible google play services drain, my edge + does it's like 1st or 2nd on the list to cell standby (going to test out advanced calling on mobile data to see if that helps)

Google Play wasn't working on my Edge+ out of the box, I had to clear its data and begin again, then it worked properly. Might try that for any Google apps she's having trouble with.

Just reset the whole phone, and it seems fine now, I hope lol
I am getting 12 hours a day.
14 hours with 40% left. Been flinging things at chrome cast for about 2 hours then about 4 hours of music via Bluetooth. After a normal work day.
It ain't bad.

When i first got mine battery was incredible. It seems like clean master suite of apps makes the battery a little slower but i think it makes up for it by closing apps on background even after you close then out. My battery started dieing quick when i had all the clean master apps running. Cm locker, phone boost, and regular clean master. I Uninstalled cm locker and phone boost but by just leaving the original app i just click the one-click standby, and hibernate to kill background apps draining battery without having all of the CM apps running all the time draining my battery the most.
I get close to 8 hours before it gets 25% but heavy use like navigation and Bluetooth/YouTube streaming simultaneous drains a little faster.
Like the phone dieing quicker in general since i first got the phone last month but i think the quick charge has slowed down sometimes. Im at 28% right now and it says approximately 1hr 53 minutes. When i first got it out would charge like 50% in 20 minutes and I'm using original charger and cable that came with phone.

I've noticed my charging wire is defective. I'm using a micro USB cable I had lying around of course still with the adaptive fast charging and now it always says fast charging when I connect it. @ 1 hour and 30 minutes or 20 minutes
I left my phone unplugged connected to Foxfi. So from 930 pm to 300 am I was at 29% left. If it was my M7 doing the same thing it would of died in 2 hrs flat. So compared to my old phone my edge+ does better and that what I like to see. Hate getting s phone where my old one battery last longer than my new one.
Plus with fast charging it doesn't take long to charge these phones. I can be at 75% when I go to lunch and when I charge it the phone will have a full charge way before I go back. Where as my M7 would take 3 hrs.

The S2 is essentially unusable right now, with the battery drain problem. I have tried everything described on these forums. reflashed the phone a dozen times, reset and tried every thing in the book. Only thing left is reflashing backwards to KE2.
Does that offer a less of a battery drain, than say the KE7? Mine is at such a bad spot right now, its not funny. Running stock KE7 with 3 apps installed, it's lost 30 percent in 3 hours. or there abouts?
Did u try to turn the wifi off ? I recommend you to try out the Juice Defender app which help improve the battery by controlling wiring and other connectivity. It will auto turn off wifi when screen off.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yea i did. Bought the ultimate version of the app. Not much change.
How long were u playing with it in those 3 hours? What's your screen on time?

i Have KE7 installed. Its rooted and i am using Antek App Manager (free) to freeze some of the samsung crap plus using Android Assistant to clear cache and close programs etc. My battery is pretty good. last night, on a full charge, found out in the morning it used only around 7% of battery. During the day the battery usage had been good too. Wirless is on and background sync enabled, battery on 66%
I had KE7 installed from the off. Battery life has been improving for me (Only had the phone about 10 days)
I keep things down to a minimum (no Wifi, bluetooth, background sync).
I managed to get nearly 3 and a half days out of my last charge. This is with occasional texts, emails checks, phone calls and Google reader updates. I use launcher pro and have set the weather widget to update every 3 hours.
The battery on my Orance San Francisco hardly used to last 2 days with similar usage.
With the screen size & processor power, I for one am very happy with the battery life of my SG2.

None. I was snoozing. The handset had been taken off the charger, email account configured and i had taken a call. Fell asleep after that. Screen on time was 78 percent. (Only apps open were a gmail one, 3 browser windows and titanium)
Great life here
Just to add a counterpoint, I'm running stock unrooted KE2 and am having incredibly great battery life. No frozen apps or battery management apps, other than the stock settings that kick in after 50%.
I recently forgot to charge overnight, and still had >40% battery left after around 36 hours of moderate use.
This is with auto screen brightness, WiFi always on, no syncing except for gmail/contacts/calendar (With a fairly high degree of gmail traffic).
During that time I played Angry Birds, used GPS navigation, send numerous texts, emails, and phone calls. Recorded about 10 minutes of 720p video, took a bunch of photos, and browsed the web periodically.
I'd love the OP to send it back, and see if his new one had the same issue. Maybe it's his 3G, or maybe a just a bad unit? You paid alot of money, something this serious send it back.

There is a huge gap in the middle where you didn't turn on the screen, for like 16 or 18 hours (except once).... Be honest, while sleeping, do you hibernate? hehehe.

Lol. Actually I'm pretty sure the screen would have been on multiple times during that period, just not for extended periods of time. Perhaps they just didn't warrant an entire pixel?

Is it true that after some time of use of the phone the battery improves a bit? (I read it somewhere, but I don't remember where nor if they mention what was the reason for that)

Planning to do that today. Got just a couple of days left on return policy. If not.. well i am stuck. I love the phone. I want it to work... but 5-7 hours is just nonsense. I hope 2.34 ships soon and sorts out the mysterious drain.
Yep KE2 has much better battery life than KE7. For me anyway. I can get a full day's use out of one charge with moderate use and screen brightness set to 50%.
I have also frozen all the bloat. In idle with email set to push the phone uses about 2% an hour. Which is not bad in my books.

at least there's still the possibility of some sort of external battery device that'll connect to it's USB port.
my 2c
Mine is on its third charge, and its still getting better
charge overnight via AC,
unplug at 8am for a full workday
2 push email accounts with up to 100 emails a day (1 gmail, 1 exchange)
whatsapp messages all day
bluetooth on in the car for 2 hours a day
bit of browsing and RSS reading thru the day
10 minutes of calls
end of work day ~ 40%.
get to 20% at about 10pm
so enough to get thru a work day, if you need to go out at night, get a car charger or similar.

Very good and detailed information. Thanks!
if the battery goes that quickly with such minimal use, i'd be screwed big time. with my current setup(thunderbolt - no razr here till Friday) I have a 4500mAh extended battery + a 5000mAh external power pack(9500mAh total) I easily blow through that in less then a day.
I am a heavy data user though. constant HQ audio streaming, downloading, video streaming, etc. around 30GB/month on a slow month.

hahaha, you do sound like a real heavy user, I dont have time to stream anything as I'm replying to the 100 push emails in an average work day!
Ps. My screen on time would be higher than most due to the typing.
I'm an average user, don't stream much at all. Granted, it's only the first day, but I charged this baby up and have been using it nonstop for email, web, and text for close to 5 hours and I'm at 50%. Played a couple of short videos as well.
As I said, it's the first charge so I assume the life will get better over the next couple of days. But so far so good.
To the guy who burns through nearly 10,000 MaH a day, there's no reason in the world you should get a phone without a removable battery!!!!

2 days with it now, getting better day after day... Smart Actions really a big add to the battery life.. On the first day, with out smart actions, It was over for 22 hours with good usage of internet/calls/display/music streaming from motocast etc..
And the next day, I have done some settings on smart actions, already 25 hours over, I still have 30% left though the same way I have used it on the first day... So, Thumbs-up Guys.... I expect it for another 4-5 hours as such we get it for 30 hours... That is better than any phone right now in the markret.. Smart Actions is the magic...
horrible battery life
I might be taking mine back. I've had it off the charger since 8:30AM, it is now 1:30 and the battery is at 30%. This is very unacceptable to me, especially since I really haven't done anything on it today. I really like the phone, but I can't have it charging all day.

I've been off the charger for 4 hours and 15 minutes, and I'm at 70%, with moderate use and no smart actions, with a mix of 4G, 3G, and Wifi (it switcehs between 4G and 3G a lot). I'm satisfied with those numbers, especially considering I'm upgrading from an Incredible.
I'd give it an understandable amount of battery life credit. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. This is compared to my sgs2.

Awesome first charge.. plugged in Friday when I got it and just now 38 hours later I'm plugging it in. 4.5 hours of screen on at 85 percent brightness.. here and there browsing.. some photos.. gps enabled turn by turn a couple times.. SIRIUSXM for 4 hours at least.. fell asleep both Friday and Saturday night listening to Art Bell.. so at least 4 hours. Outlook checking mail every couple hours. Tested a few games for probably a total of an hour maybe. This is about average use for me. I would say this bests my note2 and that's a lot to say. Will it get better after a few more cycles? This phone is a keeper... loving the knock on/off feature and I'm getting really used to the buttons on the back.
Good stuff man....lower that brightness a little and turn on autobrightness and you'd be getting even better battery life. Doesnt the constant 85% hurt your eyes?
That's awesome. Battery life was a big reason I picked up this phone, and it has yet to disappoint. I'm on Verizon, so probably couldn't get the Nexus 5, but even if I could I'd probably go with the G2 for the battery. I like a nice bright screen as well
I took the attached a couple if days ago. GPS off, mobile location on, 65% brightness baseline with auto on. Mostly web browsing, with about an hour of talk time, and 3 hours of audio playing via Bluetooth. The battery really is fantastic.
However, there is something that can get stuck and prevent deep sleep causing excessive idle drain. Its happened to me twice now. A reboot clears it up, but I haven't tracked down the culprit yet to prevent it entirely.
Anyhoo, pics below.

Ive found 3 culprits for idle drain thus far:
*backup* - disable backup/ restore in global settings
Nlpwakelock - disable wifi/cell gps assist in global settings, and history anf reporting in Maps
CarrierIQ - disable it as per instructed in the carrier IQ thread

I found it takes a lot to get thought that first one percent. I had the screen on for 45 minutes before I dropped to 99% the other day. I'm starting to think there is something up with the battery gauge.

Yea the battery seems great when you don't touch the device but try playing a game for a little bit . Candy crush crushes ( ? ) my battery to hell.
How is the battery life on everyone's LG V10 VS990? I've got two batteries, a 3000mAH and a 3800mAH battery, but I find the battery life seems poor on either battery, both only lasting about 6-8 hours, sometimes a bit longer if I'm not using my phone a lot that day. Is this just me or everyone? I know a friend of mine with the T-Mobile variant of the V10 gets almost two days of battery life, but I'm not sure how heavy of a user he is.
A non power user can make a battery last forever on this thing. Weekends, I am not tethering or running Pandora, or getting blown up with group texts, so I can unplug at 8 am, and plug it in at 11pm with 30% or more. Week days, with all those things going on I can just get through the workday from 7:30am to 8pm or so and have to plug it in asap.

See, I unplug at 7:30am and can only get to about 3pm before I need to swap batteries if I'm not careful about how much I use my phone. Though I do a lot with my phone, it doesn't sound like as much as you do. I've checked the battery usage and it always says the Screen and Android System are using the most battery, which seems to be normal on most phones, so I know it's not a particular app. These two batteries are also only about a month old.
Don't know, I got mine at release, I do have two batteries, but only carry one unless I travel out of town. I often click to close all apps often throughout the day and use Wifi whenever possible and whenever not tethering to my iPad.
After root, I get roughly 2 days on a full charge. Greenify and freezing apps has increased battery life dramatically

Will have to try greenify again, other than the list in the general forum, did you freeze any other apps?

Nothing out of the ordinary actually. Using Tasker has helped the most, and freezing Amazon when my wife doesn't want to go shopping on my phone lol. Also, switching monitoring apps (I know, not really necessary) from Lookout to ESET.

I'm using greenify, amplify frozen apps and I'm still barely getting 2hrs sot.

Are you monitoring what's eating your battery life?

Yea there are no rogue apps or anything like that, my phone just doesn't get good battery life. Maybe it will get better if we get a custom Rom.

How about charging? I found using anything but the supplied quickcharger, even if I charged to 100%, I got less than good sot.

I haven't tried another charger I'll give that a go.
Verizon location services app eats battery at a crazy rate even when the phone is asleep. Now when phone is sleeping it eats about 1% per hour instead of the nearly 10% it was eating. The stock battery is small to. 2800MaH for a phone this size is not a lot. GPS also eats battery. If you have location on try turning it off. Also if you live on the edge of a cell zone and your phone has to constantly keep talking to the tower it can use a lot of battery. You can test this by putting your phone into airplane mode, if your battery suddenly gets better... then the cell radio is killing you... unfortunately not much you can do for that.
I haven't been using the second battery yet, keeping it around as a replacement because we know what happens after the first year of using them.
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 LG G6 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
6h 30min SOT
5h 47m SOT @ 29%

I'm on the AT&t version and the battery life is crap. I've been lucky to get 3.5 hours of SOT. My 2 year old One M9 gets about the same battery life. I'm hoping to AT&T releases an update to improve this because everyone on T-mo talking about 6 hours of SOT with like 40% remaining.
Great sot without wifi
4 hours 3 mins sot 25% remaining . All on sprint LTE no wifi today with between 1/2 and full bars, usually full though. Insane coming from an s6 edge that would get maybe 2 hours before dying in the same conditions. Loving this phone. Very excited for kernels and ROMs to start hitting this phone

Have you been able to fix this? I'm also getting poor battery life.
almost 6 hours SOT?! i crack 5h even and it died as i hit that mark. Im assuming none of you guys are running the always on display? my other issue is at school service blows. I legit watched my phone bleed 12% battery in the course of one class.

I'm happy to report that I have, mostly. I took into the att store and they ran a diagnostic check on it and told me that the quickmemo app was hitting y processor pretty hard which is strange because I have never used it (it also doesn't show up under battery usage). It can't be disabled but I forced stopped it. When I did force stop it my ram usage dropped by like 10% so I don't know what the heck that app is doing. The odd thing is it will occasionally start up again and I have no idea why. I did open the app and set the capture+ action to be handled by gallery instead of quickmemo and there are no permissions set for it, so we'll see what that does. I'll be watching it closely.
The biggest culprit I believe was my outlook app was having a contact sync issue. Once I went on the app and fixed that issue my battery life has been great. I hit my phone hard yesterday to try it out and while I only had around 4 hours of SOT when the screen wasn't on I was listening to music (probably at least 4 hours of music playback). I downloaded apps from the playstore, surfed the web, streamed some videos, took photos and lot of other heavy uses and it made it from 6am to 6pm with 10% left before i plugged in. I was pretty impressed.
So I say mostly fixed it because fixing the outlook sync issues helped a great deal, but that quickmemo app could still cause a little drain and I can't figure out how to stop it. I'll keep an eye on it and report back.

This is great to hear. I did what some people recommended and did a factory reset, installing all apps "by hand". And force stopping the quickmemo app saved some ram/battery as well. Battery life and stand by seem a lot better. Not great, but better. Gonna see how it fairs in a few days. If it's still bad, might get a replacement. I'm hoping for an unlocked bootloader on this so I can debloat the damn thing. That would help a great deal with battery. Thanks.
7 hours and 26 minutes so far with 48 percent remaining. Estimated time remaining is 6 hours and 11 minutes I've used it pretty heavily throughout the day and this is day one of using it on battery so I'm very very impressed.

On a side note I recommend not using always on display there's really no need for it and it's going to waste your battery life.
After first full charge

now thats impressive
My 3rd day of use. First time actually running it down
My average is 4hrs 15 mins to 4hrs 45mins I have all beta google apps including Google play services and beta versions of facebook and Instagram.
Definitely great battery.

What am I doing wrong here
1st full charge. Coming from a corrupted battery nexus 6p with 2hrs of sot, this phone is so much better in any case
Got mine in the mail yesterday, it was shipped with 40% juice. Had almost 3 hours of SOT on that
Let' see what my first charge will be like

The top three reasons for battery drain (with a non defective phone).
1. Screen on with full brightness.
2. Rogue application or data heavy application (email being a big one or apps that run on the background constantly).
3. Poor cell coverage area where phone is sucking up juice trying to stay connected to towers.
Best way to trouble shoot is to start with a 100% clean factory reset phone. Follow these steps
1. Reduce screen brightness as much as possible, using auto brightness helps, but you may have to adjust manually if it's at full ? in your location.
2. Don't install any applications at first. If your battery drain doesn't happen until after you install applications, then you'll need to figure out which one is the culprit.
3. Turn off the cell radio in poor coverage and see if that does anything. If your battery improves you know that's the issue. I know CDMA phones in poor coverage area suck the life out of a phone (Sprint and Verizon).
After that it's time to consider defective device.

Cell coverage i know is one reason while im in school. i swear that place has a jammer installed somewhere. with AOD ill watch the battery just drain itself. Im probably gonna do a factory reset today or tomorrow and see what comes of it.
