PLease tell me if this is acceptable battery life

[mgindi26]

Please forgive the double post but I wasn't sure if this would get lost where i originally put it as a reply.
please tell me if this is acceptable battery life for my Maxx, or if i have my second no good one.
My battery is at 60%
it has been off the charger for 10 hours
the number 1 usage is voice calls at 28% which says 22 minutes
next display 1 hour 2 minutesnext android os 19% 40 minutes
Phone idle 7% 9 hours
cell standby 6% 10 hours
Taptu 5% 10 minutes cpu total 7 minutes cpu foreground data sent 327.32 kb data received 4.02 mb
mediaserver 4% 6minutes
To me it doesnt seem like a lot of usage to use 40% of a Maxx battery. But maybe my expectations are wrong. Please let me know.

Cell standby is a killer for battery.
Display also will chew through it pretty quickly.

Seems acceptable to me...

I don't know, 10 hr with 60% doesn't seem that bad. I think if you make more phone calls the battery drains faster.
Here are my numbers for comparison. Was at work, so used it very little.

6h 50m total - battery level 90%
OS 25% 16 m
Wifi 21% 4h 50m
Display 20% 18m
Phone idle 12% 6h 40m
Cell Standby 9% 6h 57m
Voice call 6% 1m 44s
Kakao talk 2% 14m
Browser 2% 50s

What battery monitors are you using?

 

[rutter207]

Yeah I'd say that's pretty good for battery life. You said 60%. Is that looking at the stock battery meter? Because that may be rounded down or up. So it could be 64%. I know not much of a difference.

I'm at 73% currently after 11 hours, but I've been at work all day too.

OS 39% 1 hour 24 minutes
Wifi 14% 10 hours 44 minutes
Display 13% 1 hour 31 minutes
Phone idle 5% 9 hours 13 minutes
Cell standby 5% 10 hours 44 minutes
Maps 4 % 9 minutes
Dolphin browser 4% 7 minutes
Facebook 4% 6 minutes
Mediaserver 2% 3 minutes
Android system 2% 2 minutes
Instagram 2% 3 minutes

I'm still at 60% after 8 hours of moderate to heavy use and i'm friggin ecstatic. This is my first day with a full charge with my maxx. I switched from a nexus that would be on fumes by now.

Starting to wonder if I have a lemon. My battery life doesn't come close to that. I have to start tracking. Where do you guys get all those percentages?

 

[Jack33]

To check battery use on your MAXX, go to Settings, Battery Information, Battery Use (that gives you percentage). Click on each item and that gives you Time on.

Remember, certain functions suck more battery life than others. I think Voice Call is the worst battery drain. But then again, it's a phone so you gotta make calls, right?

Thanks. What do you guys think? I think my battery ain't so great!

Maps is using a bit of battery. Do you have GPS on? I never use it, so I don't know if it shows up on the battery usage list.

Actually, I don't think voice call is that much of a drain--after all, testing of the Maxx has shown supposedly up to 20 or so hours of continuous voice calling. The display is really one of the biggest energy sucks, along with cell standby in a weak-to-no signal area, where the radio is constantly trying to find a signal.

 

[ttens]

I do have gps on. overall does it seem like I'm getting the life I should?

Also I've notice d my phone charges to 99 percent over night. Not 100. Hmmmm

What is your brightness and screen time out set to? That makes a huge difference as well.

 

[ttens]

Thanks. Brought it to the store after tracking battery today and they gave me a new one. I have about three days to find out if this one is better.

Not sure why but android os is always at like 50% plus for me

68% at 22hrs is pretty extreme. I think you'll find most of us averaging about 20 to 24hrs on decent 4G usage and very satisfied about it I'd like to know exactly how he is getting that.

You are correct, my bad for not clarifying. We have no 4G in my area, so the battery life I posted is strictly 3g,phone set to cdma only.

I just got my Maxx about 5 days ago and thought I would have better battery life than I am getting. I did a quick test last night because I seemed to be losing a lot of battery overnight. I turned off all Smart Actions and I lost 12% over night. It was off the charger for 4 hours during that time. So far it has been off the charger for 6 hours and I have 84% remaining. (Important note: I have only gone through 3 full charge cycles, so I do not know if that makes a difference, and hopefully the battery gets stronger after a few more?)

Here are my stats:
Android OS - 55%
Phone idle - 21%
Cell standby 16%
Display - 5%
Gmail - 2%

I still am having trouble comprehending the Android OS being so high. My Droid X had the exact same setup as I have on my Maxx and I would never have Android OS stats this high. Any explanation?

 

[SuperJETT]

I'm at 60% right now after taking it off charge yesterday morning and not really using it much (weekend).

26 hours, 34 minutes

Endomondo Pro 24% (gps, did 3 mile bike ride with wife/kids)
Android OS 19%
Phone idle 19%
Display 15%
Cell Standby 15%
Facebook 3%
contacts 2%
Motorola Services 2%

No wifi on except for a few minutes while I showed a coworker some pics on FB.
