Is this considered good battery life?

nyyankees1237 · Feb 23, 2013

I'm a heavy user and I got this today with Darthstalker + Lean Kernel. Dying now at 4:30. Is this the best I can get with a stock battery? Using half brightness btw, streamed a soccer game, constantly texting, tweeting, Facebook, xda, listening to music, Internet browsing, etc. Thanks for any feedback I can get

About 4 hours is what I get too. I stream video with the screen on all day long. I also have 6 batteries and 2 external battery charger for that phone.

On my Note 2 with the same usage I get about 5+ hours.

Yeah I really want a note 2, no one is willing to trade even with a good amount of cash.

Have you cycled the battery yet. Did 3 fill charges and drain to about 20%? I had the same problem and nlw my drain is good. Different rom and kernel though

The battery life is actually pretty good already. I use all my phone pretty much the same way (streaming videos). My previous phones never even made it to the 4 hour mark.

Htc evo 4g = 2.5 hrs
Motorola photon = 3.4 hrs
Galaxy S2 = 3.2 hrs
iPhone 4s = 3.? hrs
Htc evo Lte = 3.5 hrs

i'd say it's "ok" battery life in that case.

How would I go about improving it?

I don't even know what good battery life is.. Any thing is better than the hd7 I use to have. You'd lose a Chung for plaiyin angry birds (their only game) for 3 mins.. So your lif looks good to me.

I can pull about 2 and 1/2 hours with 14 hours but that's with non - constant use. If I use the phone constantly it'll end up with what I posted about 6 hours with maybe half of that with the screen being on.

I know he has a nexus 4 available to him so i think it is considering there is no reason for him to have a Nexus 4 build prop

Yeah I could care less about nexus 4 battery life as I don't have one.

You can't compare to other people's usage like this because you stream videos. For example I told you earlier I get about 4 hours of runtime on my Galaxy s3 with a lot of video streaming. If I use my Galaxy s3 sporadically I get times like these.
Your runtimes are normal if you stream videos.
