Suddenly, my battery life is phenomenal!

[Rizy7]

I know I probably have no right to complain or anything.. But after a few charge cycles I was getting around 6 hours screen time.. and now Im getting more around 4.. which is kind of weird

That's pretty much what I get. If I'm on WiFi most of the day I will get 4 hours of screen time but out at work all day and then out and about and no WiFi, about 2 or 2 and a half hours.

Well, I barely use mobile data at all. So if anything, battery life should be better than when I use wifi (maybe 30 min or so each cycle).

Looks like I must be doing something wrong... I have about 1 hr of screen time at 51% battery... yet i h ave brightness at minimum, and only wifi turned on, nothing else.

I have 1 hour and 34 min. of screen time at 94%battery. Phone idle most hog at 18%.

My first 2wks I use to lose about 10-15% battery per hour giving me about 9hours before reaching 0%.
Now though after about another 2wks using "DS Battery Saver" I lose about 6-8% battery per hour giving me easily 12hours - very satisfied!

How do people only get 1 hour or so? Since the beginning I get a minimum of 4. I say its about on par or better than my Galaxy Note I used to have. I guess some people just aren't tech savvy.

Stop worrying about it, just enjoy your phone.

What exactly does being tech savvy have to do with poor battery life when all the usual suspects have been cleared up?

Lmao none of you have gotten to the root of your problems you only try to bandaid by toggling and using crappy battery savers that in actuality cause more harm than good lol.

If you want to get into the real problem do research on wakelocks I'd bet big money half of your problems stem from wake locks.

Wanted to post this somewhere for a while now. Couldn't get a full charge for a few days

Consider trying a different charger maybe? Or letting it die and charging it while off until is 100%?

Well yesterday I flashed the AOKP build 2 ROM and I have noticed a huge increase in battery life.

I has 2 hours of screen time and still had 60% battery left. Don't know if the battery stats were calibrated properly or what, but it feels like it's got good battery life like other phones out there.

I have all sync and services turned on. Hope it stays like this.

i wish i knew how to do what you did...

I'm now at 23% with 2 hours screen time. Looks like I could squeeze almost 4 hrs screen time if needed. This is big!

You must have been getting pure crap numbers before if this excites you.

I noticed I'm getting stupidly good battery life too today. I'm completely stock. I'm at 47% after 12 hours. And I wasn't careful with use: browsing, streaming audio over BT, phone calls, checking RSS feeds, Twitter, even Facebook. The only thing I can think of is that there have been a few app updates recently to Play Books and Facebook.

Here is the link to the app I use! It saves my battery a lot! I went a day and a half before charging and I do Facebook, Texting, Pictures and Games!
JuiceDefender - battery saver | Battery manager app for Android

You're kidding right? If you knew how to use a phone and used common sense battery life would not be an issue. You follow the same exact steps to problem solving with EVERYTHING.

Did you read the part where I said all the usual suspects concerning poor battery life have been cleared up, at least in my case?
