Yup another "amazed at the battery life" thread

[JohnnytheK]

Man some of you guys are getting awesome battery life, I'm not getting anything like you guys. You make me think my phone is broken

Last night, I plugged in at about 17 hours with 20% left.
-4G all day
-2-3 hours screen time
-1 hour of Pandora
-30 minutes of phone calls
-1 Gmail account
-1 Exchange on push
-GPS on, No Facebook

It's so much better than my Droid 1, but no where near you guys 24 hour runs at 60%

So you can go to work or school all day and the play another 8 hours and still have 20% left? Yeah I can see where that could cramp your still

I always want more!! What if I go to work, play in the gym, then go out drinking. Then a bear starts chasing through the city streets for 8 hours, I need those 8 hours of 4G awesome for Google Maps while this is all going down.

Does this seem like a normal batter?

I just got my MAXX yesterday, and did a full charge last night. Let me know if this is normal:

12hours 40minutes on battery - currently at 40%
-Display (40%) 3h 13m (~80% brightness)
-Voice (14%) 23m
-Wifi 11% 12h 34m (nearly full time)
-OS 10%
-Plants vs Zombies 4% 12m
-Cell standby 4%
-Phone idle 4%
-Browser 3% 8m 17s
-speedtest 2% 2m 9s

I just barely disabled GPS - so it's been on pretty much all day - but if it's that big of a battery drain, why didn't it even show up on the list?

It was on 50% not that long ago, but I let my daughter play PvZ for about 10minutes, sound on.

Let me know what you guys think!?

Ok thats about where i'm at. 13hours on, 71% left. Minimal use mostly.

I guess if you're coming from an iPhone the 3300mah batter is a little under impressive, if you're coming from another 4g phone, it's better.

iPhones can drop only 1 or 2 percentage points in 4 hours. 4g phones tend to drop 1 point every hour. (this is standby alone, no use)

I did a quick study... on iPhone of contiual use, angry birds to music....etc... it took 3 minutes to drop one full percentage point.
It took only 2 minutes to drop one point on the Maxx.

This isn't a very thorough experiment but might hint that the bigger faster processors and bigger screen are obviously going to drain more. A simple iPhone will probably last longer than most of the smart phones now.. We'll let the Maxx cycle a few times before seeing if the 3300mah is even better than the iPhone 4. I know I'm curious about it.

Another thing to keep in mind is the kernel. My OG lasted about 8 hours on a charge when I brought it home. By the time I upgraded to X, it was lasting over 24 hours on a charge. Similar story on X. Thunderbolt would die in 4-6 hours when I first bought it. Now it averages 18 hours. Moto will likely give us a leaner, more efficient kernel for the ICS update. And yes, the larger display will eat more battery.

First day out with my Maxx and I am impressed so far.. let's see if after a normal workday I feel the same way.

Six hours screen on time is damn good

For me 6-7hrs is typical. I had light use yesterday. I am currently off charge for 15hrs and have 2h 16m of screen on time and still at 70%.
