I unplugged my phone at about 10:30am and at 11:28am it when from 100% to 90%!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that the battery was suppose to last a good 24hours like Engadget said.
Any suggestions?
its better than most other android phone i had.
10% every hour of heavy use I am not complaining
if u REALLY want to save batter turn off auto sync, gps, bluetooth and other crap

The battery counter of Atirx is by 10%. So, even it shows 90%, that may means 90% to 99%

Mine has been less than impressive today as well. Not good.
Mine seems to be pretty good so far. I think it'll take a few charges to get the most out of it though. I've used it a ton since about 10am and it's showing 80%. That could be anywhere from 80-89%.
Mines been sitting at 90% for about 3 hours now. It shows 90% when it drops down even a little bit because its only done in 10% increments. Pretty stupid if you have a phone to boast about battery... Motorola dropped the ball on that. You basically have a lowered battery meter all day lol
Thanks guys for all of the help!
My battery life has been decent, I unplugged it at 5pm yesterday, drove home with Trapster running (so screen on continuous for 30 minutes), used it heavily playing with it for a few hours in the evening, left it on to wake me up in the morning..
and drove back to work for 30 minutes with trapster when the 5% battery life warning went off right when I got to work.
No complaints here.
Unplugged the phone at 5am and it's 15mins to 12pm here - still full though I did laptop dock it for 5 mins several times to show people at work.

After 4 hours, I am at 75%. Email, tweaking, texting, 2 hr conference call on BT (Finiti w/Motospeak). If you check settings, Battery Manager, touch the Battery... you will see a usage breakdown. This phone is amazing. I expect after a few full charging cycles, the battery should get to full strength.
Is there a way to disable the 3G radio to save battery life (like in the iPhone)?

+1. Do a few charge cycles and then see how you feel.
I got my phone at 30 percent and it lasted four hours of straight playing around with until it hit 10 percent and I put it on a charger. My nexus one would have died with a full charge by then(original battery).
I'll see how it goes in a week, battery life takes a bit to figure out.
Remember that break-in period for batteries when you buy a new phone. Maybe after about a week it will get better? Also maybe try that battery calibrating trick...

Well considering there's no way to know it's at 75% lol it could be at 70% or 79%...either way it would show 70%. The battery only displays at 10% updates.
You can also set up custom battery saver modes in the settings>battery save(think that's it)
My battery life kicks arse. It may be helped with my ultimate juice and tasker, but I streamed rhapsody all day at work on rhapsody, and my battery is outperforming my iphone 4. I'm very thrilled.

Mine has also done extremely well, especially considering it's day one. I've toyed with it all day playing games, music and YouTube along with browsing and playing flash video. It's been outstanding so far.
Battery gauge lies. But it's normal (kind of). See here:

I just got the View for my wife to replace her Kindle Fire and it has terrible battery life running HC. I have it in airplane mode and I have tried a number of battery life tips that have worked on all my other Android devices and nothing is working. For instance its been on battery for just under 5 hours and just barely over 1 hour display on and its at 35% right now. I used to have the Flyer and it was pretty decent when it came to battery life but the View is terrible. Am I missing something?
The flyer was wifi only. The view is running a mobile data plan. If you want it to get battery life like the flyer then turn the mobile data off and only use the wifi.
This is what I do with my view and I am usually trying to kill it at the end of the day to charge it. I'm on it constantly throughout the day as well.
My battery life seems fine. I use it off and on throughout the day and I have the Cellular radios on most of the time.

As I stated it is in Airplane Mode therefore mobile data is off.

I'm beginning to think I might've received a bad View.
Its not normal and hardware is unlikely so check the battery usage stats on the settings menu and see what is using the battery.

I have been monitoring the battery stats very closely and it doesn't make sense what is causing so much drain. I even have Better Battery Stats installed to monitor partial wake usage and nothing is out of the ordinary. I've never received a device with a bad battery but I'm thinking this might be the first.

i think you did that does not sound normal mine last all day with heavy use i can say i have never had it go all the way down...you may have a bad battery it just doesn't sound like the two i play with in fact one on gb the other on hc and the hc is lasting more....
Aside from a possible bad battery, you might have a corrupted battery stats file. Try clearing the file by deleting it if you have root.
Wait a few days. I think the same thing happened to me. Maybe for the first few days the battery indicator is not very accurate.

We've had it since 1/31 and it hasn't gotten any better. I've been doing some more testing and it seems as though wifi is the culprit. In airplane mode without wifi on it seems fine without use and doesn't drain. With wifi on the battery usage shows a constant drain without any use.
Try out my rom. All my testers and users report much better battery life than the stock rom, and I've got a couple extra things under the hood.

I just picked up a view off of CL. Same problem.. Horrible battery, didn't even last a full day.
People make fun of the ipad, but that 10 hour battery is no joke. This thing, with cell radio off and wifi on, lasts me MAYBE 5 hours, and thats with medium usage.
That's insane.

Now don't just assume all Android tablets are like your experience with the View. I'm confident there is something defective with the one I purchased. I had the Flyer and it would last me a good 7 hours and I currently have the Galaxy Tab which easily gets me over 9 hours of actual use (ie screen on).

I installed this rom and have to say battery life is improved. Although Ill honestly say that battery life on my view was never a problem. About a day on medium use. 7+ hrs
The Galaxy S III unit is certainly big enough. When they said they would improve the battery life on their next Galaxy, I was thinking at least 2,300 mAh. A small gripe, but something to be desired.
I can't complain with 7 hours of screen on time..
How long do you need your phone to last? A bigger battery would always be nice but I'm definitely not complaining. I average around 4-5 hours of screen on time from one charge on complete stock with good brightness. Do we really need more?

The question is, do we really need less? There's already small 4.3" display phones that run over 3,000 mAh. With the size of this unit, they simply could have taken to task their claim of wanting to improve battery life a little more sufficiently. The more powerful these devices get, the more demanding their battery life is.

The DROID RAZR also has a non-removable battery which probably contributes to that.
Removable or not, it's still been done. I'm not saying this phone should go 3,000+ mAh; as that would sacrifice body thinness, but they probably had more to work with that they didn't utilize.

Possibly, but apparently the general population cares more about thin devices than battery life.
Either way, I'm generally not going to use the phone for 7 hours everyday so it makes no difference to me.
Honestly, I expected less than what I am getting from the battery life, so I am more than happy. You also have to remember, battery life is a big selling point for the next models. I am certain they could have easily tweaked the design/battery and given this phone another 10+ hours standby or something like that, but that limits the sales features for the next model. You want to make your new device good but not so good that the next new model doesn't seem as impressive.

Same. I've been using mine plenty today since 7 in the morning (can't call it heavy usage, but definitely was not "light") and it still has over 60% (its now the end of the day here). Couldn't be happier with the battery.
Well... obviously I could, but I definitely can't complain.
I wish mine was gd too.. but kworker processes are draining my battery life yet no ideas how do resolve yet...
I get 11 hours at 60% yesterday, so that's excellent on stock Rom with all the bloat, sure cm9 Rom at same hours and same use was still 86% and I always leave bt gps wifi and full brightness always on

Probably Samsung will bring an extended battery(+modified back cover) just like they did with the sgs2... having said that I have no problems the battery life with the stock battery

Don't forget The SGS3 battery is 3.8v, whereas the SGS2 battery is 3.7. If you look at the watt hours, SGS3 is just under 8, where as stock 1650mah battery is just over 6. 33% increase in batter size!
I'm rooted and running stock Vodafone rom (OTA update), but I've frozen a lot of the rubbish (and installed siyah kernel!). I'm getting very good battery life with 3-5 hours of screen on. Basically, it's not ever once not "got me through the day", even when I first got the phone and I was abusing it.
Standby times could be slightly better, and there are some other issues that are draining battery (fast dormency is a pain in da ass!!), but considering the SGS3 is fresh out the battery life is amazing!
When I use the internet I'm using about 12% of the battery per hour which is pretty damn good and fairly close to S2 so I've got no complaints, and the last update made a noticeable improvement on battery, but the only real complaint is the battery takes over 2 and a half hours to charge so more than ever I do need a spare battery for those times I get caught short on charge.
I noticed a big improvement in battery life with the stock rom I9300XXALF6 + modem I9300XXLF5. Using only for calls, on average, by 10 hours consumes 10% of the battery.
This battery is big and enough for day to day use but when i want to watch some episodes I'm always carrying a backup charger.

Some here - 1 hour/1% with moderate use (a few calls, messages, random goofing). (att, stock rom, int. version, sync off, auto brightness)
Im quite satisfied, battery is like just as i expected
Hyperion 6000mAh Extended Battery
I got this last week and till now it been great! starting to love my lg g3 on a whole new level.
My old stock battery with all my tweaks used to last for 4-5hrs screen on time.
I havent drained this completely but i believe this would go for between 11-12hrs sot
Its not properly calibrated and if i charge it even after its 100% charged it stays on 100% for an hour of sot after unplugging and then drops 10% per hour of sot.
My usage includes only internet usage like browsing and facebook, offline tv shows and music and occasional real racing 3 now. Both wifi and 3g. so basically battery consuming stuff.
Will have to wait for it to be calibrated properly to get exact numbers but im still looking at atleast 10hrs sot and thats good enough for me. Lasts more than a day.
see attachment for bbs screenshots. Will also have to wait a few weeks to confirm if this performance stays on.

but only 9 reviews on amazon, and a reviewer mentioned 6-7 sot which is less than hyperions, although it would depend on the usage..

Battery life is an extremely wide topic. For example, I use greenify with exposed support, I uninstall unnecessary system apps, I control devices wakelocks regularly etc etc.. As I said so many things to do.

I agree, i heard that greenify can be effectively used once your device is rooted. So i see that u have rooted your device and hence you can able to uninstall system apps. I am in warranty period and i don't want to void my warranty . So any other solution would help ??
