Screen shots of your battery life...

Interesting.

I had my battery at around 20%, just watched about 1.5 hrs of video until it died - in Airplane Mode. From that perspective, seems great. I wonder if it's indeed the LTE that's draining the thing so fast when I use it for web/email.

Using LTE will drain the battery faster, even with the more efficient baseband we have. It's still reportedly much better than the Vivid or Skyrocket.

I wish they would give us the ability to turn it off, but I'm not sure that'll happen.

I let it completely drain for the first cycle. The first few hours of use was, and usually is for everyone, a lot of setting everything up, downloading apps, etc. Once it totally died I plugged it in for the first time and let it get to 100% and took it off the charger. 11% battery life after 18+ hours of typical use from me... this thing has great battery life for my needs.

Exactly.

And this was the big item from all the know-it-alls posting on Android Central, screaming Deal Breaker when ever the battery was mentioned.

I can go to bed with 5% battery, and wake up 7 hours later and still have 2% left. I have the quad core model which has a 5th core that handles very low power tasks when the phone is asleep.

I'm not complaining at all. My One x has the best battery life of any smart phone I've ever owned. This usage is with the screen set to auto and I'm in an LTE area. Happy camper here:)

First full day. Not too bad. Hope it gets better after the battery is conditioned.

It will get better when you can finally pry it from your fingers.

I didn't even start measuring my battery life for the first week, cuz I couldn't stop playing with it. :D

If I leave my ONE X on sleep mode, it can run a full day, sure... haha

But barely 12 hours on heavy use...is that normal?

Yes, I think that's normal depending on what you are doing. Screen + LTE combo is brutal... if you're browsing the web/downloading stuff via LTE, it will only last a few hours. Or at least that's just me. I've been pretty disappointed when using the device for the last few days, because it felt like the battery died quickly. But I recognize I was using it very heavily.

Today I am using it moderately, and I'm at 65% after 24 hours of use, with the screen on for a combined total of 40 mins. This is with LTE on the entire time.

I think that, in airplane mode, you can run the screen for quite a while.

I was considering this phone.. But on average about 3 hours of screen on time? Wtf?! Using my iPhone 4 I'm on 10% battery with 14 hours standby and 7 hours of actual usage. Had one short phone call, some texting, some Facebook, and mostly Internet browsing.

To be honest, I think it's the LTE + screen combo that really drains it quickly. Intermittent usage is not so bad at all.

I've had my phone on now for 2 days, it's at 40% battery - this is with normal usage, with the screen on for about 1 hr of combined time. That's not bad at all, imo.

Some people have posted screenshots of the screen lasting like 5 hrs of on time, but my guess is that's without LTE. I plan to watch some movies on a plane today - will see how well it lasts in airplane mode.
