Is the battery life that bad?

[sisblub]

Went with the Nexus, not being able to remove the battery is a deal breaker.

I have to agree with most people on here that the battery life does suck. I just had to get use to bringing my charger with me. Right now I'm rotating at a hospital and at 8am I have a full charge but by 12 or 1pm my phone is drained. Most of it is due to not having a good signal in the hospital though but I noticed when I'm not working and out doing errands that its not that great with battery life.

My phone has always been someone decent with bettery life. It always lasted atleast 8 hours, lately though its been around 15 after I put a custom rom, but I never had it only last like 3-4 hours. Well I also bought the extended battery when i bought the phone.

I'm pretty sure most people said their battery life was fine.

My GN has the best battery life (and screen) of any phone I've ever used.

I seem to manage about 20 hours between charging, on a stock Nexus. That's with extensive web browsing and downloading. I am also using a battery optimization app.

The biggest trick I found to keeping my battery life decent was turning on wifi at work. I work in a dungeon basically (-100 to -120 dbm on 3g in a decent 4g area) so I connect to my work's wifi and it'll last all day.

I have say I agree with the poster above that said it the GN has the best battery life I've seen on a Droid phone - I've had a Droid X and Bionic, and the batter life on this phone (for me) is excellent. I use it moderately at work, but I did buy a spare charger to use at work so I could listen to music and podcasts and because the signal is weak. But overall I love this phone and I think the battery is outstanding. I bought the extended battery and havent even used it yet.

The GN stock battery easily gets me though a day .I can get 14,16 hours with moderate/bordering heavy at times EZ ,more if I have light use.
I also get less hours of use if I am on it constantly without putting it down.

I've had an OG Droid, a Rezound (albeit for two weeks), and now the GNex. The Nexus trumps all three in getting me through the day and then some. With light-moderate usage I'll hit 16+ hours with roughly a third to a quarter of the battery left. With moderate-heavy usage I can get 12-14 hours easy. And I'm consistently between 1-2+ hours of screen-on time

Honestly, all I've needed is very basic knowledge of how to preserve battery life. No task killers or anything crazy. Avoid wallpapers heavy on the white, turn on WiFi when it's available, etc.

Any verizon rep is going to push you towards a droid phone over the gn. The droid is filled with all their bloat junk and the gn has none.

Will the VZW rep I talked with when I was shopping for my upgrade didn't push me towards either, said both were fine and I should just play with the demo model and figure out what was important features to me. I asked him what device he would get if he was shopping for new phone, his answer was none of the big 3 and wait another 6 months to see what new phones were offered as he had seen info on integrated radios that were superior to the radios offered on today's phones.

Read the countless threads the countless lies. If you use the phone it will not last the screen is worse then the 4g radios. Motorola has features to help improve battery better radios better build

It's ironic when a guy uses a lie in order to call other people liars.

Unless this needs to be updated, the G Nex ....might....have battery life issues vs other recent phones, especially for phone calls:

AnandTech - Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX Review - 1.8x The Battery

The Rezound will shock ppl on this chart too....considering its running at 1.5Ghz. Anandtech is usually spot on for battery life tests. The kicker is the G Nex on the chart might be on old software, 4.0.1 or 4.0.2.

This is the 1st time I've tried this. Today I'm working at a location with a solid 4G connection. Over the last 3 hours with LTE turned on, I've only lost 14% on the extended battery. And for the last 45 minutes I've been streaming music with Google Music.

I'm going to see how well this works out. This is actually way better than I expected!

I wish my primary office had a decent connection. Most of the time I don't even have 3g. :-(
