Can I get a general idea of run time for use on a full charge running on latest EVO rom (3.0 ?). Trying to figure what's causing my horrible battery run time. I just got one of those non-oem battery with the blue label that says "FOR HT S620/DASH" . I charged it to a hundred percent and left it alone with 3 tasks running but the screen wasn't on. Came back 2-3 hours later the reading said it was 41% base on CeleTask. I didn't check the standard power management reading. So I'm not sure if it's CeleTask malfunctioning. Maybe EVO rom draining it or bad battery? Does the phone go into idle mode if you leave it alone and the screen black out or is it still functioning until you put it into lock mode(idle mode?). Any thoughts on the battery or other causes would be very helpful. Also Wifi wasn't on.
I have an 1100 mAh battery (supposedly), and the charge lasts around 3-4 days of light use.

What tasks did you have running?
I am getting about 3 hours of standby.... also when I have a full charge and I then turn on the media player or wifi I have about 15 minutes of battery before it shuts off. Then after it shuts off and I plug it in and repower it will say I have 35-45% ....really quirky. I was going to flash back to the earlier ROM and I still may but I seen that there will be a new ROM soon with better battery life
I bought one of those $2 replacement batteries from amazon two weeks ago. My original battery would take a huge dump (98% to dead) in the matter of 3 hours if I turned the wifi on for 5 minutes and then turned it back off.
With my new battery I end up with 82% by the end of the day with very very light use.
Light use on 3.00 + Battery cab.
I unplugged at around noon and it is now 12:38A.M.
and my battery is at 68%
I close apps when not in use and it updates weather every 60min Via edge.
With Moderate-heavy use(Texting, and opera) It will get about 10% by 1:30-2A.M.
Talk time is Decent though Went 2 hours and only lost about 10-15% .
\I have noticed a Concerable Drop in life after updating from 2.80 to 3.00
This is Also on the OEM 1100MAH battery(and I'm also using a little Much of a charger..so its screwed my battery)
Better battery life with a replacement
I'd replaced the original battery with an unofficial replacement, since the original was nearly dead (1 days). This one lasts about 3 days with the new EVO 3.0 ROM.
I haven't done any real measurements , but I feel like I have better battery life with respect to the previous versions.
my test:

Please provide a link to where you purchased the battery. What was your usage level like during those 3 days?

I gave the direct link of the product, but probably it expires when I abandoned the site! you have to find the product "S620" on search box
for me everything is fine I'm using the original battery, 3VO ROM with Arabic for WM6.5, many tasks opened most of time and the battery is just fine and hold for 2 or more days..
Waiting to get my hands on my DHD at Sunday when I return home from my girlfriend. Im just curious if I need to charge it those 12ish hours like I've always done when I've got a new phone, or if batteries is different since my last one.
Thanks!
a full recommended charge by manufacturers is usually 12 - 16 hours, so charge it for 16 hours and then have some fun...

Does that also count for todays smartphones? I mean, I know all Apple Products comes precharged so you dont have to bother with the 12 hours of charging. HTC aint running that path?
I quote a message I've made in the battery life thread:
theboostman said:
Since i use some RC Helicopter with li-po/li-ion that both have the same way to produce energy, I have learned how to use this kind of battery and how to ensure a good battery life/durability.
There is no reason to worry about the battery if you follow those few recommendation (given by a battery producer):
-Your battery has to be charged with a current of 1C max (1C mean 1230mA for a 1230mAh capacity).
-Your battery voltage must not be over 4250mV. If you go over, you may damage the battery and risk random explosion/fire. In normal use, it's better to not go over 4200mV.
If you charge the battery with your phone, you will never be able to go over 4200mV because the charge stop automatically before.
-Your battery must not be under 3300mV. Same risk as above. In normal use, it is better to not go under 3450-3500mV to ensure a good battery durability (numbers of cycle charge/decharge). I think the phone show 0% at near of 3450mV, but never check this cause i never wait my phone to be as close to the death.
-Your battery has to be drain at a current of 10C max, i.e for desire HD , 12.30A (1230mAh x 10).
impossible to reach that current with your smartphone so no worries about burning your cpu with heavy bench.
Whatever you do respecting this will not be harmful for your battery.

So don't believe crazy rumor and just follow battery manufacturer recommendations.
charge the phone up to full for first time is just usefull to ensure a good calibration of the battery level in android.
But the battery itself doesn't care about first charging since they already have been charged for the stockage by the manufacturer.
You can check with Currentwidget the current send to the battery. Wait until you have 0mA. This can take 1h after the green light has turn on as the green light seems to occur by voltage mesure and not by current.
this occur every time you charge the battery and then I prefer to check with Currentwidget when the battery is actually full.
It is good to know here that a li-ion battery will reach near than 4200mV before to be full and at this state has to be charged with a current limited Alim. It seems that this is already used by the phone as you can see the current decrease as long you reach full charge.
But as I already mention, it seems that the phone show 100% when a voltage Value is reach. So it is not very accurate to see when the battery is actually full.
After that you can play whatever you want with your battery:
- You don't have to wait that the battery is full discharged to charge. ( In fact it is better to never wait your battery to be empty)
- You can stop the charge before the end.
- You can leave the phone plugged in the whole night cause the phone automatically stop the charge.
Can you use the phone on the first charge?
Yes you can. For battery point of view, no problem.
For android battery level, I don't know if using the phone at first charge can cause more inaccurate mesure but anyway the battery level will be more accurate after some cycle of charge/decharge so don't care about this. Plug the phone and use it!
Very, very detailed. Far more detailed than what I can understand. I'd follow the battery manufacturer recommendations, but HTC doesn't list anything helpful on their website.
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery.

..they dont tell you if to charge until simply fully charged, or 12ish hours. Thing is, I read in another topic that the whole point of charging for a long time was back in the "NiCad days"; but does not apply for Li-ion batteries.
Can this be confirmed?
To be more clear:
- optional(but recommended): Charge the battery up to full at first time (about 3h, check with current widget for example)
- never let your battery be empty
- each time you charge, you may charge about 45-60min more when the green light turn on. (you can check with currentwidget or equivalent when the battery is actually fully charged)

Thank you very much. : )
So I simply use CurrentWidget (by which looking on google shows the current mA) and simply waits till it hits 1230mA. Is that how the widget works? If yes, after reaching 1230mA, do I still leave it in for 45-60mins or not?
Sorry if im not getting it right - getting into Android is not as easy as I thought it would be.
No that's not right
Current widget will show you the actual mA consumed by your battery when the phone is un plugged and the actual mA sended to your battery when charging.
This allow you to check when the battery is full.
When you just plug your phone, you will see battery widget show about 500mA and then decrease down to 0mA as long you reach full charge.
When you see 0mA, the battery is full.
You will notice that the green light and 100% status are reached before current widget show 0mA.
This is why you can't trust the green light when charging your phone and have to charge it 45-60 min more when the 100% status/green light is reach

Oh!!! I get it now! THANK YOU!
Guess I'm just gonna have to deal with turning it on and getting the app. - but probably shoulnd't affect it in any way (the battery that is...) ^- ^
im picking up my new phone tonight then heading out for dinner
i dont think im going to be able to sit there and not turn the thing on and have a play with it
from reading the posts here it sounds like doing so wont cause any damage to the battery it might just screw up the android battery readout
on my galaxy s you could boot into the recovery menu and just wipe the battery memory
cant i just do that with this phone ??
I wouldn't risk it. Wait till you get home, turn it on, download Current Widget also mentioned in this topic, plug in the charger and wait for the app. to show "0mA".
I also couldn't resist turning mine on and ended up with dust on the wrong side of the screen (yes, theres a tiny gap around the screen where it crawls in - lame design) - now im going down for a swap and I wont open the box until I recieved my case for the back and shield for the front+lens.
I'd suggest you to do the same to avoid the damn dust and scratches. Its up to you tho.

i wont be able to wait that long
if it doesn't damage the battery i dont see the harm
i went and bought a case for it today so the moment i get the phone its strait into a case
Yea, it's not easy to keep the hands off it.
I dont know if it's gonna "damage" it and cause a worse battery life, but it's full potential will first show after a few recharges apparently, it's up to you. Hopefully your cover will actually cover the gaps from dust etc. (unless ofc it's a full-case cover.)

hi. i just got my new phone E980. its the AT&T model. the batter is so ambiguous man... like i got the phone just yesterday, started checking out the phone and the battery was like 23%.
after LITERALLY like 10 mins the battery went to like 12%... i was like WOOOOT.....
i discharged the phone completely and then took out the battery and discharged any remaining power from phone as its recommended.
then i charged the phone to full and started using again like paystore apps downloading.
as i checked the battery from setting the idle was using like 3rd most battery in the list after screen and android OS.
what is this man??? isnt it supposed to be a phablet? is it ok for my phone to be this worst at battery. this is first ever non-Samsung phone and i m used to good battery life where idle does not take freaking 3rd most of the battery... WTF... im kinda disappointed
also can someone tell me and pls like me here any good roms and how to root this phone and also tell me which roms provide good battery life?
i will be so thankful for these links...
smiler what happened to me :\
now i need to wait for new battery to arrive
EDIT:
small tip
its might help the sudden restarting if changing the processor speed to 1ghz max
I've solve the same Issue by using an Ipad Charger because the 3140Mah battery need a 2 Ampere charger.
First day my F240L drain full battery in 3 hours, the 100% charge was fake by charging with Galaxy S3 charger (I got Phone Used without Charger), the phone show 100% charge but the value was fake.
Try a charger with 2 Ampere Output.
This metod is working with ipad charger and Galaxy Tab 3 charger.
I hope that my Hint work for you.
Now my battery works very well. yesterday i disconnect phone at 8.30 am and at the 23.30 the charge was 47%, with mid-heavy use and wifi turned on all the day.
Plus 1!

Sorry that's all I got but you will see in the first screen shot during the 3 days the phone was powered on and off charge, the screen used 35% of the battery. I have had 2 previous phones, TMO GS2 and ATT Note1 and never had the battery last longer than around 24-26 hours on any ROM under similar circumstances. That is with notifications enabled and data and Wifi active but Bluetooth off.
2nd screenshot shows phone was sleeping (offline) 95% of the time so if my calculation is correct, on screen time would calculate out at 4394 minutes * (100-95.4) % = 202 minutes or around 3.3 hours during the 3 days I was using it (little more than 1 hour a day). Assuming the screen was on whenever the phone was online.

Thanks for the tip. Did not know that!
Wanted to start this thread cuz I just received my 10000 mAh extended battery from zerolemon and wanted to post my results keep in mind this is the first day I've had the battery in and on the first full 12 hour charge that zerolemon recommends on the first charge and then it says to run the battery all the way dead but my sense I'm going to do the last 10% as shown in the picture but I'm going to charge it up full and going on today and see if I get any different results I was just curious on if anybody else has this battery yet and I wanted to see your results
Overall
Just screen on time
My battery percentage still isn't accurate and I've had mine for about a week.

I've had mine for 3 days, and this seems to be fairly consistent with the results that you're getting. after 1 day and 8 hours, I'm at 19%. slightly above yours, but not worryingly so. Im going to drain it down to 2-1%, and then charge it back up to 100% again. I believe if you do that for 5 charging cycles, it should be totally recalibrated. That said, you do not want to bring your battery that low on a constant basis, as it can damage lithium ion batteries.
I also use Battery Monitor Widget Pro, which gives a fairly accurate representation of how the battery is doing. I certainly recommend checking it out, for those of you who are starting to use the ZeroLemon battery.

after 2 days and 3 hours, I downloaded a battery drainer. The battery percentage was at 1% for a total of 12 hours, from 9pm yesterday, to about 9am this morning. I was able to continue watching Netflix and listen to Spotify at 1% both for about 2 hours respectively in that time frame. When I got into work this morning, I used the battery drainer for about 25 seconds before the phone finally quit on me and shut off the phone. I guess that means that Android is still trying to calibrate to the battery.
With all of that said, once you get down below 5% the phone shuts off the ability to manually adjust the screen brightness, and the stock music player will no longer allow you to play music (which is kind of a bummer, as I do have about 15 gigs of music on the phone, and had to switch to using Spotify on my bus ride home....through the Lincoln Tunnel). I don't know what else the phone shuts off, yet. I'll be sure to do a more in depth look next time it gets down that low...which may take another 2-3 days...

What was your screen on time tho
I've had my ZL battery since release (pre-order), I use it on and off. It still hasn't adjusted to having the larger battery. When it gets down to 3% I bump the corner and it resets the phone giving me 30+% more.
It still lasts way longer than stock, so that's good. I just wish the phone would show the correct battery level.

If I understand your question correctly, you're asking whether or not the phones been rebooted? If so, none. During that time of 4 days + hours, the phone went to standby mode when not in use. So I haven't turned off the auto standby mode off to leave the "screen on continously."
Just wanted to post a typical day for me. I play a game called ingress, it's a real battery hog.
The spike is a trick I do. When the phone gets really low it dims the screen and enters a power save mode. This sucks for playing a game in the day light... The trick is to give it a quick whack in the upper left corner, it moves the battery just enough to do a quick reset. You could do it manually, but sometimes that changes the battery history.

This is what mine does everyday after i pull the battery for the first time after a full night charge
All,
Last weekend, I experienced the most unusual occurrences where my Note 7 battery just drained within minutes while at least half full. I was browsing the internet on my phone waiting for a drink. I put the phone down to pick up the drink, and when I went back to the phone, I could not interact with it. I pressed on the power button for a few seconds, nothing. Went back to the car and plugged it up and there it went, it was out of power. I first thought it was weird, cause I could have sworn I had at least 40% batter left. Ok, whatever, that night it happened again. I'm pretty anal about battery power, so I will definitely notice when my battery reaches a low level especially so low that power shuts off.
Ever since the two incidents my phone has been running fine during the week. Just right now, I noticed my battery was at 39%, so I was like ok, let me plug it in and give it some juice before I leave work. I stepped away for a few seconds and come back to my phone and see it at 11%, I was like what?? I unlock my phone, and seeing it go down 10%, 9% while its being charged...I started "close all apps", still going down 8%, I go to settings, "optimize" and optimize all, nothing, 7%, finally drag down notification, close the Tidal app widget, and clear all, think what was left was Good app. 6%....keep watching the battery screen...7%...few seconds more 8%. PHewwww....
WTF was that?? Was it a rogue app that was sucking up the battery? But what triggered it? I checked GSAM battery tracker, Android System at 35% CPU usage 6h 9m, next is Kernel 11% 1h 56m, then Good 5.3% 55m..Instagram 4.9% 52min....
Its happened to me 3x within a week. GSAM is not telling me any info on what is causing this.
Any ideas?

Yes , maybe . Phone freezing and battery rapidly discharging in the actual context doesn't seem good. Be cautious...
Cheers~
Get rid of it ASAP!
When batteries discharge faster than expected they can generate heat, this heat can trigger the bad battery "explosion" we are all fearing.
This sounds like a prime situation. Shut the phone off and leave it off.
Get it replaced ASAP.
you should replace it
this is faulty battery
how long you had it so far
and how was batterg life , lagging , overheating like ?
FAULTY ALERT. do a scratch test and return it! lmao jk. just return it.
I have also had this happen where I check my battery percentage 75% then not a minute late my device is off and wont start up until I plug in a charger and then maybe 5 minutes later it show 30%. Something is really screwed up with the either these batteries or the phones themself. Worst decision ever was to not make the battery user replaceable! My Note 7 is going back once the replacements are available.

Yup...I don't believe its the battery but something in the OS. I don't really care about removable batteries, but this battery fiasco, the lag, the battery drainage we experiencing...I think I'm done guys. I'm still on the fence, but leaning towards to the Iphone 7 Plus.
I honestly think it's something in the battery. The way they're exploding and the way it randomly drains points to battery issues. Plus if it was a software issue, Samsung would have pushed an update a long time ago. It's much easier to push an update than recall every single phone. I personally think the chemistry in the battery is off, that's why we get random drains and exploding batteries. Regardless, mine is getting exchanged as soon as the replacements are available. Btw, mine has been doing the same thing for the past week, so I know about having 50% or more of battery and it going completely dead. That's can't be because of the software. The phone would get hot if a rogue app was draining that fast. Not to mention I've never seen a rogue app drain a battery instantly...

This could also be the electronics not accurately determining the batteries voltage. In turn, allowing the battery to charge well above what's safe (3.7v battery charged by a 5v charger)- and if there's one thing you don't do to lithium batteries it's overcharge them.

If the battery is not defective and it's the Power Management Circuit which is problematic, then the risk will even be more disturbing than the idea of having a defective battery. Anyone knows whether the Exynos variant is also using Qualcomm power management IC?
This is the extent of what Samsung is saying:
Based on our investigation, we learned that there was an issue with the battery cell. An overheating of the battery cell occurred when the anode-to-cathode came into contact which is a very rare manufacturing process error."
The leads shorting doesn't represent a problem with the cell - overheating/exploding would be normal in this situation.

You have copy of the full report. I'm interested to read their findings.
