Nexus 7 2013 game battery Life question - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey guys.. I have a question that bothers me.. when i do heavy gaming on my nexus 7 (2013) my battery drops about 8% every 15mins or so..this is with gps turned off.nfc off.location off.and google services .currents and so forth off.. and brightness on auto..but when i do leave my tablet in deepsleep overnight i only lose about 1% in about 10 hours of deep sleep but when i game my battery drops as fast as 8% in 15mins or so is this normal???

That's more drain than I've ever experienced. Have you tried a CPU monitor, and care to tell us the name of the game(s)?
Sometimes a game can unnecessarily run all CPU cores at full throttle. PBA Bowling is a big drain, though at the pace it uses up the battery, I can still get 6 hours of life.

frontline commando dday.deadtrigger2.dragon slayer. gta .games like that and im not running anything on background cause ive also did a backup to stock so everything got deleted and fresh and still around this rate but i heard its normal cause at this rate my battery would be dead at 3hours or so and i heard thats normal for heavy gaming on a tablet?

That's Wierd Because I Get 8-10 Hours Of Gaming W/ Airplane Mode On, Wi-Fi On, GPS Off, Bluetooth Off, Currents Un-Auto Sync, Etc...
I Play Modern Combat 4 Online For Hours (The Whole Day) Without The "Connect Your Charger" Until Late At Night Like 11 Or 12. I Used Play
GTA: San Andreas For Hours ( I Beat It ).

yeah but thats with airplane mode on but i mean i play with airplane mode off and then it only last 3 hours i heard this was normal for a tablet for graphic intense games

i still find it hard to believe u get 10 hours of gameplay google annouched 10 hours of life by doing surfing and moderate use but in heavy use u will not get up to 10 hours

That's seems pretty low. While you can't expect 8-10 hours of actual usage with graphic intense games, I get about 5½ hours screen time over 2 days when I spend the majority time gaming. Even if I did nothing but game on my tablet I expect I'd still get close to 5 hours usage over the course of a day.

[DISCUSSION] Xperia S battery life

Had my beautiful white S for 24 hours now. Overall very positive, except battery life so far. Drained 23 % overnight from a 100% charge. In only 7 hours I had NO activity. BT and WiFi on.
I hope this will improve very soon. That is a no go. Would like to hear from you about your experience regarding your new Xperia S.

For me, I removed junk I don't use, like foursquare. That alone made a huge difference. I also turn off data at night, and only went down about 4% while I slept.
Another option is to install something like JuiceDefender, which automatically shuts down data except switching it on every hour or so to allow for some syncs, then shuts it down again.
same as my arc, drained about 30% in the first day, with time it'll be better.
i was about to ask the same question. 7 hours seems about right, but i have been doing a lot of app installs, so I will give it time to settle down.
I use the XS in Hong Kong. If I use the phone online to play with internet browser, battery will be drained from 100% to 69% in approx. 1 hour. Is it too fast? Or it just a normal way when compare with SII or GN?

The display sucks battery life like a vampire in a young virgin woman buffet. Try reducing the brightness.
Hopefully firmware updates will help there.

Ohh yes. U are soo right. Had my phone now for 4 days. The display uses an average of 70% of the overall battery consumption. It is not WiFi, calls, BT or any other functions. It is the display that drains. Will give it the weekend to see if it improves. If not I will return it on Monday :-( And my brightness is down on less than 25% so not much to do there.

I get about the same on my Arc. I dont know if it's too fast or not, but if your pretty much constant on the net for an hour say then 69% isn't all that bad.

Had an Arc for around one year. On a daily average the screen took about 55% and I had no problems to get a full day out of it. (approx 16 to 18 hours) and still 10-15% juice left. Now I get max 10-12 hours out of my S and NO juice left. Really disappointing. Even my old X10 did better than my new S.

Surely the HD display amongst other things, ie how you have your phone set up, may go someway to why your experiencing poor battery life compared to your Arc.
Try to disable Bravia engine and see if you notice any difference especially during the night.
My phone has the same apps as my Arc, actually minus few of them.
No autosync etc.
Basically it drains the battery quick, it's unacceptable. It behaves exactly like one of the older Arc firmwares, which was also draining battery like crazy.
Than they fixed it and it's still brilliant. My Arc on Flight Mode beeing just a backup in case of any problems, runs 3rd day on one charge, still 75% left.
I think S is just not optimized and it makes me mad.
Just got My XS yesterday I did one fully charge this morning . Turned off data at home, will not know until battery is fully charged by a few cycles. I love the phone irrespective of the flaws. I think may be see in a week or 2 where my battery settles.
Again. 25% battery drain in only 6 hours over night. No physical activity at all. This baby goes back on Monday :-(

3g turn on with weather widget in background only, 4% drain overnight, but with heavy usage (game, internet suffering...) it lasts about 7 hours, that's good.

You can use Profile Scheduler (free from market) and set a schedule.
I've set the schedule in which the airplane mode will be activated at 12.00 am and turned back to normal at 6.00 am.
By this way, my phone battery drains overnight just only 2-4%.
Let's try man

Do you know what? It irritates me reading you people moaning about battery life, it's a high definition phone with an awesome screen, if you want your battery to last a few days, go get a cheap phone that does nothing but txt and calls

I actually agree with that tbh, and another thing is battery life all depends on how the individual uses their phone.
I had the sgs2 and alot of people said oh the battery life is rubbish but yet they had:
screen brightness on 100%
3g, wi-fi, bluetooth always on
live wallpapers running.
Plus they were using the internet for like 2hours
sending numerous emails
playing games
listening to music
I mean come on its a phone at the end of the day, its not a super computer or something or some nuclear powered device.
I nearly 2 days out of my sgs2 under moderate - quite heavy usage
because I turned my screen brightness all the way down
didnt leave 3g, wi-fi, bluetooth on all the time only when i needed to use those features, i never used live wallpapers and i dont send numerous emails.
when i had the play again people said the battery life was rubbish but again i got about 1day 10hours or a bit more sometimes based on the above mentioned info.
so as long as my SXS last 1day even I dont mind that because at the end of the day it has a HD screen so its going to use alot of power.
Okay so on my third day with the phone...
my battery is fine, actually...more than fine. I turn off my wi-fi/bluetooth/gps when not needed, and I don't run my battery heavy apps for a long time.
I also installed a task killer...I know it's in theory not needed, but I will see how it goes.
woke up around 7 today, used my wifi, used a battery intensive app (dream zoo , it's an addiction) for like 15min or so. Went for a walk, used the camera...a LOT, made a lot of panorama pictures. It's now almost 11:15 and i'm only down less than 15% I believe.
It's got much better battery usage than my X10 to be honest...but this is a high-end full HD phone, I wasn't expecting my battery to last so well D:
I will update again at the end of the day about how low it got, but I am pleased with it.

[Q] Whats your battery life like?

I haven't seen a battery life thread for the AT&T S3, so I'll start one.
Mine is around 13 hours with moderate use. I listen to podcasts for an hour in the morning (commute to work), read Pulse News and Facebook for about an hour at lunch, and listen to another hour of podcasts for the commute back home. By the time I get home, I'm around 13% life. I usually get the battery warning while listening to my podcast. In comparison, my GNex GSM gets 17 hours with the same use pattern. When I get home, I'm usually around 37%. Besides Samsung's and AT&T's bloatware, same apps, no widgets.
All told, I am very disappointed with battery life. I don't believe in underclocking my CPU in or disabling haptic feedback. I use the "Power Saver" mode, but only use the reduced screen power consumption feature (reduces framerates and brightness). WFI is always off (I don't have WIFI at work). I also disabled all of the Motion features. I disabled S-Voice (it monitors for the Hi Galaxy, and disabling also allows for a very responsive Home button).
I calculated my idle battery drain (unplugged when fully charged and not touch it) at around 4.4% per hour. That only gives 22.7 hours of standby! My Galaxy Nexus GSM can go at least 2 days (sometimes I forget to charge it at night on the weekends - also not used the phone).
Is it AT&T's LTE? Is it the Gsiff_daemon process? Is it TouchWiz? Or is it just my phone?
What's your battery life like?
You pretty much hit it right on the head. I had the extended battery from Samsung on my Gnex and could easily get 20 hours with moderate usage.
This phone despite using CM10 or AOKP with the JB kernel I never see battery life that good. I'm in the 14-15 hour range with about 3 hours of screen on time. That's with wifi off, and we don't have LTE yet. All in all, it isn't very good.

Stock? What features do you have turned off? Do you use WIFI exclusively? Do you turn off your data network (LTE/HSPA)? Did you turn off Sync?
I don't use WIFI, and I leave my data on (as it should be - just like I had it on my GNex). I also leave sync on. I understand that using these decrease battery life, but come on... not like this. The GNex faired very well, and it had a smaller battery. Besides LTE and an S4 (and the S4 should be more power efficient), there isn't much different between the GNex and the S3.
If I turn on the screen for 8 hours, there won't be enough for sleep time! It'll just die... if it even makes it to 8 hours...
20+ hrs with multiple accounts syncing at 1 to 2hr intervals, screen on time of average 4hrs. Heavy use. Wifi on all the time.
stock, rooted, debloated, super-aggressive power management I was getting maybe 12 hours with 2 hours screen time.
I saw you didn't believe in underclocking, but I started using Cpu Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798765 and am loving it, can do 16 hours and 4 hours of screen time with no problems, will do the trick for me.

I hate to be "that guy" but I have a hard time believing anything close to this is even possible. Can you show us a pic of your battery stats?
Just use cpu tuner, It has profiles for each level of battery life so it gradually slows down your cpu's. You can get performance and bat' life.

my battery drains a lot when i'm on wifi even when my screen isn't on. I get on average 14 hours running 1.4 GHz
You have a faulty radio.
I consistently get 40+ hours off charger with 4-5 hours screen on time with a couple hours of browsing, 3-4 hours of music, texts, an hour of calls or so, playing casual games for another hour.
Stock. No hacks. No root. Disabled all unnecessary carrier and samsung apps and disabled GPS unless i need it. Auto brightness, 2 hours sync for weathereye, flipboard and gmail syncing all the time. I do mostly use Wifi at home because my signal at home is bad and that quickly drains my battery. At work my phone idles for eight hours at a 2-3 % loss with 3G on (i use my old SIM, i do not have an LTE plan, I am on Rogers Wireless).

You consistently (or have ever got) get 40+ hours off charger with 4 to 5 hours of screen time? Do you have your phone hooked up to a car battery?
I just factory reset (wiped data and cache) the phone and installed the apps I need (maybe something was badly configured or something) - did that yesterday night. Charged it up for this morning, and now I got 18 hours and still have 17% left. Screen on time says 1:38 hours.
This is on the same stock rooted and deodexed ROM. No hotboots either, so gsiff_daemon didn't rear it's ugly head.
Also no CPU Sleeper or any of these underclocking apps. I'm happy now, but wondering wtf was causing the problem... and will it happen again (after all, this is only day one).
I'm getting about 13 hours with 5 and a half hours of screen time. Underclocked to 1.2ghz and I have my own screen off profile. Great battery in my opinion

Phone finally died. Just over 19 hours. Heavy use towards the end because I was downloading and installing the rest of my apps from Google Play & Amazon App Store. Was also setting the apps up ( accounts, settings, and notifications...). Final screen on time was about 2 hours.
It's only been two days since I've had the phone, I've gotten about 14 hrs with roughly 3.5 hrs screen on time. I hate when I see people with 2 days off the charger and ridiculous screen on time. If you put the phone in airplane mode and ran just the screen you probably wouldn't last 10 hrs unless it was on low brightness. I had the Razor Maxx and I could get around 30 hrs usage with 4-5 hrs talk and 6 hrs screen on and that's the best battery life I've ever gotten on any phone with real usage.
I would like to get better stand by and more screen time out of this phone without getting an extended battery.

Nope. Stock battery. May be some of you have faulty batteries/radios/firmwares or run too much stuff at the same time.

No airplane mode. Cellular connection is always on even during the night. Only difference is at home i have wifi on instead of data.
Flipboard, weathereye and an appsales app syncing every 4 hours. Auto sync for google account and facebook. Automatic brightness. Almost all samsung and Rogers apps disabled (except for myaccount and a couple samsung apps) and motion disabled since i have no use for the gestures apart from being a novelty the first week.
No root. No hacks. I am actually amazed. This is the first android phone that has battery life on par with my iPhone 4 and the unparalleled smoothness. My HTC One X lagged, this never does even with a few apps installed now including games. I look at my iPhone and think "why do i still keep it? It is no longer relevant".
Ive got my UV tweaked just right on my ktoonez kernel and keeping my screen level as low as can be and I'm now practically making it to TWO days battery life! Plug in every second afternoon or evening after moderate use. Occasionally it doesn't last as long. Quite happy now. Oh and that's with this baby cranked to 1.809Ghz! But obviously tweaked to use that under strain otherwise using lower clocks and deep sleeping with 384mhz.
Got a 4200mah extended battery on way and can't wait to see how much I can squeeze out of it too.

My GS3 i747m lasts around 50-55 hours per charge cycle..
It is running stock Rogers GS3 ICS, not rooted, all stock. Battery is stock as well.
Not using LTE, using HSPA+ ("4G") with data turned ON with Sync turned OFF
(**NOTE: sometimes, the battery is drained due to poor reception, and the phone will use more power for the cellular signal.. In my case, my 3G connection in my area seems alright for the most part, about 1 bar less from full)
Power saving is turned ON. WiFi powersave is turned ON.
Moderated WiFi usage in 2.4ghz 802.11g-mode only.
Every night when I go to sleep, my flight mode is turned ON. (I sleep around 9-10 hours everyday, so the phone stays on flight mode for 9-10 hours a day)
In the morning, I turn the flight mode OFF.
Bluetooth, GPS both are turned OFF
Screen brightness turned 1/4 brightness
LED notification turned OFF
Also, I have a task killer killing ALL BACKGROUND SERVICES every half hour.
Without killing all the background apps, my RAM usage is around 600-700 MB out of 1.6 GB of RAM
Killing all the background apps brings the RAM usage to around 360 MB of 1.6 GB
Without killing background apps, my battery life is shortened even when the phone is on standby.
Do this, and your battery life is pretty good..

[Q] Battery Life

I'm a bit confused here and hope someone can clear it up for me. Some of the reviews are saying the battery life is under eight hours. However the review from Androidpolice is saying he got 22hrs heavy use and with normal use it could be almost 2 days. Can someone tell me what the battery life is really like?
I suspect the shorter times are referring to performance in a battery run down test where a HD video is put on a loop and played until the device dies.
I have only had mine for 2 days and this is not normal use because of downloads etc... but I believe I'm getting 8-10 hours out of the 2014 edition where I was getting 6-8 hours out of last years Note 10.1. I still have last years model as it is going to ebay soon so I know there is an improvement!
I'm hoping it lasts 9-10 hours at least. Coming from an iPad, I have a feeling the battery life will be one of the worst things about android for me.
I'm getting around 8h. battery life
really enough juice for me
Hello, i am a engineering student and i am very happy about my Battery life.
I Use my P-605 to take notes in the university.
For example, on a day with three lectures.
First Lecture, i use LectureNotes to mark something in the PDF scriptum and write down a few notes.
Second and third, creating a whole Entry which causes that the screen is nearly 95% of the 1,5h Lecture active.
After that, driving home with the bus with listening to music and checking facebook and xda.
The Energy saver made was enabled (because it was implemented for Such reasons) and screen on Auto (+0, +1).
After that day, 70%, not bad, or not?
I used some of the tricks mentioned here in an xda threat to increase the Batterytime.

That's about what I get of screen on time.
At this exact moment I'm on pace for about 9 and a half hours with 2 days on time

8-9 hours screen time is what mine gets. This is with a 1 minute time out and 20% brightness. If you use the default 30 second time out and auto brightness, you may be able to squeeze out another hour or so.
Go by screen time and not total uptime. One person's "heavy use" is someone else's "casual". I'll use the Note for 5 or 6 hours straight. That will get me down to 30% or thereabouts. As such, I'll never get 2 days out of it or an iPad.
Playing any type of game, even ones that aren't graphically demanding like clash of clans or plants vs zombies 2 drains the battery very very fast, i could lose 50% in 2-3 hours.
Just about hitting 8 with all the extras disabled and just browsing the web and youtube

(Q) Battery life??

Guys, I'm thinking about buying a Xperia ZQ (other version of the ZL), and first I have to know about its battery endurance, since I wouldn't be able to charge it everyday. If someone can answer, I would appreciate:
What do you think about its battery? How much do you usually get from it? A full day? And with YouTube? And what about with games?
Any other hints about it, please, comment.
Thanks.

Maximizing SOT to get 8+ hours

Hi Guys,
I have checked the real-life reviews about the SOT and I see lots of people posting a SOT of 8+ hours.
Personally I get about 6 hours consistently every time but never was able to get these miracle numbers. Are you people just lowering your brightness to the lowest point and having battery saver on all time to be able to show off? or is there some magic going on?
Anyways, if anyone has tips regarding maximizing the SOT without giving up to many features I'd be happy to know (e.g. WiFi scanning off or on, disabling location tracking etc.). I don't want to root my beautiful device .. yet .
Thanks! Never Settle!
5 to 6 hours is average with moderate usage. 4 to 5 hours is with heavy usage like GPS and YouTube. 7+ hours would be with minimal usage plus few tweaking like dark theme and wallpaper turn off location and data. It all comes down to how you use the phone. I have rooted my phone with magisk and using greenify and Google play services doze module it gives me excellent battery life. 2 days of usage with single charge get about 5+ hours of sot. Which is very surprising

5 to 6 hours is average with moderate usage. 4 to 5 hours is with heavy usage like GPS and YouTube. 7+ hours would be with minimal usage plus few tweaking like dark theme and wallpaper turn off location and data. It all comes down to how you use the phone. I have rooted my phone with magisk and using greenify and Google play services doze module it gives me excellent battery life. 2 days of usage with single charge get about 5+ hours of sot. Which is very surprising

Yeah I'm not saying it's bad! For me it's more than enough. Love it. Just wondering how haha.

I'm guessing they don't use battery draining apps like Snapchat and Facebook. I also turned off raise to wake and ambiant display and got way more sot. I went from 4 to over 5.
I used to get 8-9 hours on my OP5 and I'm averaging 7-7.5 on this 5T. Maybe its a ROM thing or maybe the taller screen is playing a role, either way I don't mind since 7 or so hours is still really good for my needs

Hi Guys,
I have checked the real-life reviews about the SOT and I see lots of people posting a SOT of 8+ hours.
Personally I get about 6 hours consistently every time but never was able to get these miracle numbers. Are you people just lowering your brightness to the lowest point and having battery saver on all time to be able to show off? or is there some magic going on?
Anyways, if anyone has tips regarding maximizing the SOT without giving up to many features I'd be happy to know (e.g. WiFi scanning off or on, disabling location tracking etc.). I don't want to root my beautiful device .. yet .
Thanks! Never Settle!

Just like @big_b0sss said, it all depends on how you use your phone. When I wanted to check sot , I used it very frequently by browsing, games , YouTube etc and I got around 8 hrs sot with about 15% battery still left. But that's not how I really use my phone, with my normal use , I charge my phone when it's at about 30% and when I do it's every 2 days and sot at about 4-5 hrs which is absolutely fine for me.
I get 7-8 hrs with easy use(messaging, social media, browsing) on 80 percent wifi and 20 mobile data.
Stock kernel or custom?
Using widgets and a lot of other things with sensors will cause battery drain too, I only get about 4hrs but it does last all day
I get approx 7 hrs of sot with moderate usage. No root, deep clear in recents, force stop messenger and whatsapp, location off wifi scanning off, automatic brightness.... I play shadowgun online 1 hr, youtube and uc browser.....
I got 9 hours SOT. No limits ROM and franco kernel ?
