Guys,
Check out the screenshots attached. SOT shows almost 9 hrs 45 mins and still 50% remaining after the last full charge done.
Only thing changed recently was the .183 Indian update. Am I reading the numbers incorrectly.
Need second opinion. In the meantime, I'm gonna monitor the battery stats again after I charge it 100%.
Thanks,
RG
Screen awake is different to screen on time. If you've got fingerprint turned on the screen is always awake even when off. And then there's AOD obviously.

Makes sense, then how do I measure SOT from battery settings because under Screen it shows as Screen awake?

any of you guys having problem with serious battery draining issue?
sometimes when i check my battery usage, it shows display is eating up most of my battery juice, it can go up as high as 80%!
I've always set my brightness to the dimmest, off auto-brightness, Standard screen mode
I even try to reboot my phone and the display is still draining my battery
Display is not draining your battery. Time up after a reboot/unplug from charger is the base for all those info.
In your case, up time is about 10 minutes. 58% display means your screen was on for about 6 minutes.
Reboot your phone before you sleep, and let the phone sleep. Next day, check how much is Display using. It will be very less.
It's a big screen...
Big screens use a lot of power...
I don't think there's anything to worry about here, got the same stuff going on.
Hey guys the more i use my note daily it seems I'm hating battery life already. I basically have all features turned off and the screen brightness at its lowest. my battery usage is saying about 2 hours and 45 mins of screen on time till completely dead over an 8 hour period. What's the usual you guys are seeing on this. For only actually using the phone for about 3 hours with no games or special notifications or refreshes. Wifi is off I'm under clocked to 1.1. The battery is atrocious. I know its not made for battery life but being it has a larger battery then any cell and a little smaller then the razr Maxx i expect a little more. Makes me think there is a problem.

A couple of things come to mind:
1) Have you checked CPU spy to make sure you're going into deep sleep? (are you aware of the bug with disconnecting the charger while the phone is sleeping?)
2) Are you in an area with LTE and WiFi most of the day? I know it's opposite of what we're used to, but we've learned that the WiFi radio actually uses far less power than the LTE radio. Just something to think about.
Just some thoughts.
When mine goes into deep sleep I loose 1% per hour (wifi off, data on). I agree you need to get CPU Spy to be sure yours is going to sleep. When the charge wakelock problem occurs I'll loose 3% per hour - that adds up to 1/3 of the total battery during a 12 hour day. The work-around so far is to make sure you wake the phone AND unlock it before unplugging it. Most people only seem to have a problem with non-stock chargers and charging from USB ports.
The single biggest battery user is the screen. I highly recommend using Screen Filter and setting up a Widget set to 75% to use indoors and during cloudy days (then another Widget set to 30% for dark rooms - and turn it completely off for full sun). LED screens use less energy the darker they are, which is why this helps. I go into it in detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544757
Then there is the overnight charging problem (not related to the issue in the first paragraph). Once the phone hits 100% it only trickle charges for a little while. You know when the trickle charge has ended because that's when the "unplug me" nag comes up if your phone is on, or the screen comes back on for a few seconds showing a full battery icon if the phone is off. Once this happens it stops charging - so if your battery was almost full the night before you could hit this stage by 12 or 1 am, then it will start to run down again so the next morning it will appear to discharge fairly rapidly. If your phone is heavily discharged the night before you might not hit this point until 3-4 am (or later if you are using a non-stock charger or USB port), so the battery really will be nearly full the next morning and it won't appear to discharge as fast. The only way to get around the problem is to boot in the morning and then leave it plugged in for 15-30 minutes, or if it is already on, unplug and then re-plug it. Either way it will re-start the charging process and top off properly. The stock charging algorithm is just too conservative IMO. It should cycle the trickle charge mode on and off for up to 8 hours to ensure overnight charges really give you a full battery the next day, and not a battery that is only 96% full. Right now it allows the battery to drain back to 95% before automatically starting the charge process over. So ironically the less you use your phone the day before the less battery you'll have the next day if you don't top it off.
I'm going into deep sleep immediately if i leave my phone off the charger over night prolly 6-8 hours I'll only lose maybe 3 percent at most with wifi on. My standby time is awesome its my on screen time that's the problem. I don't have lte available where i live yet. My phone is always at 98 percent max after charging. I did check out a screen filter before but do i seriously need for my 750 dollar phone to look like sh*t to make it through a day? I jumped from a 4s to here where i got at least 20 standby and 6 plus hours screen time before charging with medium auto brightness full notifications enabled. Granted it is a smaller screen but its also smaller battery with what i would think is more draining data features. I thought led screens were supposed to draw a lot less power? My basic reason for the post is wanting to know what everyone else was concluding from average use of screen time before needing a charge. 3 hours of screen time is like two movies and my phone is dead. What's the point of a big screen cell if i always need to charge it after light use every few hours. Its basically a tv at that point which is always plugged in.

Which is why I recommended Screen Filter. It doesn't make your screen look like crap, applying a light filter (like the 75% I recommended) just dims it down a little. It works along with the stock auto-brightness feature, too. Using this I get 4 hours of screen time with 15-16 hours total run time. Most people report 3-3 1/2 hours of screen time w/o using Screen Filter. You won't get 6 hours - count the number of pixels on your old phone compared to this one.
With no tweaks other than lowering the brightness I'm averaging right at 4hrs of screen time.

i get about 4-3 hours of screen time with my overall screen time ranging from 10-16 hours depending on what else im am doing.
i also have profiles set up to keep my cpu in check while in call or screen off. i keep my phone on 100% brightness ALL the time as well. so if i did choose to dim it i could probably squeeze more life out of it.
Ya I'm at 27 percent right now 13 hours on battery about 2 hours of screen time with screen filter at 64 percent the phone brightness all the way dim. I can't see 4 hours if i tried. I dunno what the hell is wrong. What roms are you guys running? Any refreshes on face book tango scramble with friends etc. i lost about 5 percent over night with everything on. I'm using go launcher and handcent sms mostly occasional Facebook checks and fancy weather widget i use system tuner on demand 192-1.5. with screen off on 192-718 max and call settings. I drop like a percent like every 2 mins it seems when the screen is on. Also I'm on unofficial alpha 2

hi guys , i got some problem with the information displayed for my razr maxx. the thing is the battery usage curve won't change for the first 10% of power drain, and the awake bar and screen on bar are full. but when the battery drops to 80% and below, the curve starts to count from the 80% position, what is going on? how can i fix it ?
here is the screenshot
How many times have you already charged that battery from 0% to 100% and drained it back again to 0%?
Seems like a simple calibration issue that should have no effect in real world battery performance.
Had that too. If you want to know more about this, look up "batterystats.bin".
So, if you haven't done what I said in the first line, do it and report back.
i have tried delete the .bin file bwfore, nothing changed. i think i will try to charge it from 0to 100again see if there will be any change. btw will the battery calibration apps solve this?

Read that. You don't have to do anything, just let your razr get some charge cycles and the readouts will be right. Remember: There is no need to tinker with this, as this has no effect except for cosmetic terms.
thanks for the information. one more thing, the battery indicator always shows that the screen on and awake time are the same, even after i turn off the screen and play music for an hour. is this normal? or the system keeps recognizing the status of the screen as on? how should i deal with this?
I would just wait a few days (read: charge cycles) and look again. Indeed strange, but if your battery doesn't get drained this also seems just to be another cosmetic issue.
actually it seems it has been more energy draining than before. it wouldn't drop 1% when i turned on flight mode at night and checked it in the morning. but now even i turn on flight mode it drops about 5% next morning.

Don't count on the battery percentage today. Look again tomorrow/after some charge cycles.
The battery readouts need to be calibrated to display the correct battery level.
I had the same "issues" (in fact, those don't seem to be real issues) and they went away. I assume your razr will behave the same as mine
Is the phone still new? I know mine was a little wonky until the charging and the meter apparently calibrated themselves to Maxx's battery Ever since, it's been very accurate.
yes it is still new. i got it about half a month ago. just got it charged to 100% from 0%. gonna see what will happen。
Is there any way in setting or an app that make me able to turn off second screen at specific time ex at night when i sleep i don't need the second screen to be on
You can put the phone with the face down. [emoji4]
Or you can cover the sensor.[emoji6]

But this will still drain my battery because of the use of the sensor right?

Wrong, I put my phone face down during the night, 4% battery drain :good:

No it consumes no battery.
During the night i have 0% battery loss for about 8-10 hours.
P.S. sorry for my bad English.

10 hours with no drain? whit second screen on?! how you can archive that??
i ask that because i put mine with face down to turn off second screen and after 9/10 hours i get 2 to 4% battery drain even with wifi and other things off and no apps running!
dont bother me so much but if i can have 3/4% more during the day i preciate that too!
btw, i dont know if are only with me but if i charge my phone up to 100% and stay in the charger for more 20/30 minuts after 100% i watch a 10-15 minuts youtube video with 40% brightness and my battery percentage is still 100% after that, and its not only with V10, my G3 and my last G Flex2 (when i have it) have the same "issue"!
the 1 million dollars question: how 10 hours of standby with no second screen and no apps running drains more than 10-15 minuts video playing?? really...
Turn the device face down. That turns it off.
Hello guys, I wanted to discuss the AOD battery drain for this device. For me, it drains around 8-10% battery in 7-8 hours. Without AOD, the drain is 2-3% for the same time. Is this normal? Also, is there any way to configure the aod to turn off automatically after 10 seconds and to turn back on if the screen is tapped once? I had this option in my previous phone (galaxy a70) so i was wondering if this phone has it as well.
