Lost 40% battery in two hours with light use? WOW

[bidoof01]

Didn't know the battery will be this poor. Woke up at 12pm with 90% battery. Made a few text. Made one phone call. No browsing. At 2PM, battery is now down to 50%! LOLOL I don't think there will be a fix for this.

My settings
-Brightness at 25%
-Wifi on
-Mobile data off
-GPS locations turned off
-background data restricted
-all apps stopped
- G+ disabled
-All sync disabled

What does the battery usage look like? What's using up all that battery?

Are you running a task killer?


Off topic: Why don't you guys charge your phone while you sleep? You're not the only one, and its very odd.

 

[dubge]

That is just crazy..........you woke up at noon!!!!

 

[reactortrip]

I am betting its the damn screen, it's just freakin ridiculous. You can't use the damn thing unless you are charging....

I read or heard from somewhere that leaving a phone charged full is not good for it long term. So i dont leave it charged overnight.

Nonsense. That's an old wives tale.

That is simply not true. If its anything like other phones it will stop charging at 100% and start again around 95%

That sounds about right. I know that smartphones these days have logic in their charging circuits to say "Okay, I'm done charging. Stop feeding me power." Power still comes in through the charger, but doesn't charge the batteries.

Not sure if you're willing to go as far as perform a factory restore, but I was getting similar battery life as you until a decided to do a factory reset to see if that fixed the issue. For some reason it did and I now get around 20 hrs battery life consistently.

since i got it dec 15 mine was about 8-9 hours. weird that yesterday i had to charge it twice with no use.. it would eat up my battery in 3-4 hours.. i was pissed off.. I love this phone but something has to be done quick. I told my wife if it doesnt get fixed by jan 15, we are returning(really dont wanna do it).. played with Rezound and its actually a really nice device.. charged it at 8 pm yesterday and I AM SHOCKED.. its been 23 and a 1/2 hours and I still have 34% left..

What is using up that much battery while it is sitting? If I use my phone heavily I'll get 8 hours of use out of it, and more if it doesn't get used much. I have only disabled google+ and stopped using facebook because it ate up my battery for some reason.

Not to alarm the OP, but it's possible you might just have a bad unit. I have syncing off, NFC off, auto brightness, I leave 4G on, and I use Juice Defender (though I don't know how much that actually helps); in about four hours, with 30-45 minutes of that spent browsing, e-mail checking, texting, and making a call, I had about 85% left.

 

[dammitcubs]

I get about 14 hours of use. The phone drains when you are using it but it does a good job during idle times.

Leave my wife out this... I have enough on my hands...!

My battery life got worse daily, I exchanged my out today for a new one, moreso because of signal issues. I was getting about 10 hours initially with light to moderate usage, then it decreased to 3 -5 hours.

 

[FearTheGhost13]

I am running over 14 hours since unplugged and still have over 60% left.. fully stock screen brightness around 75% and light use for the day.. texting and calls mainly. So it has to be certain phones or batteries because this is the best phone i have used so far in every category.

 

[pvk2009]

I have good reception at work and poor reception at home. When I'm at work or around I get good battery life. When I have the phone at home the battery life is poor. I'm thinking it all depends on signal strength.

I used my fully charged Galaxy Nexus for 34 minutes and about an hour on standby and it dropped to 66%.
