I have the Verizon edition.

I realize it's common knowledge among many here, but new folks should realize that you need to give the phone 24-48 hours before deciding how battery life is. Like I said, first twenty four hours were not much better than my s3, but now I simply don't think about charging my phone all day, which is awesome!
[G2 General] Darkestred:
I suppose its like audiophiles who argue over breaking in electronics vs not. Proponents of both. I had really good battery life on my first charge. I think this is one of those things. Forums do enough misleading as is with those who whine and complain. People tend to flock to those posts over the positives ones.
[G2 General] snrbobo:
i can't post pics for some reason, but this is the second day i've had this phone. came from a moto x, and before that, the note 2. this phone has had the best battery life between the three imo. been off the charger since 5AM. been texting, a few calls, browsing, youtube videos, email syncing, brightness at 40%, and i'm sitting at 87%. This is sure to get me through the rest of the day.

I get very poor battery life - What am I doing wrong?

Folks,

I have had the G2 from the day it was launched on AT&T. I am just unable to get the kind of battery life that people are talking about. I get 3 quarters of a day to a day without charging. I am sure I have below average usage as I have a separate work cellphone and I don't use the G2 to listen to music. I do a lot of surfing though - sometimes Wi-fi - mostly on 4G. Bluetooth is always on. Is the battery life typical in these circumstances or did I get a lemon?

Best battery ive ever had on a smartphone

I dont understand why peoples' experience differs so much. Ive been leavimg my phone idling over night and im losing 20% from about 6-7 hours of the phone just sitting there. I have no idea what its doing. Is anyone experiencing this.
[G2 General] ksc6000:

[G2 General] eadred:
Question for people who experience fantastic battery life: when you first got the device, did you:

1. Used it immediately until empty and then charged

2. First charged it full and then used it until empty (once)?

3. or first charged it full and then never empty the battery completely

I have always wonder what I should do first when I get a new device. I had subjectively better experiences with strategy 1, but I would like to ear from the people who truly have good battery life statistics. Thx
[G2 General] mike2518:
I didn't do anything, started using out of the box. Then before going to bed, plugged it in. It was no where close to dead when I did that.
[G2 General] lattiboy:
My phone has had great battery life, but my fiance's phone has been a real dog. Worse than her S3 was.

This phone handles poor/dead signal areas very poorly. We happened to be in the neighborhood where she works on Saturday and I noticed I had 1 bar and no LTE. I didn't think much of it, but after an hour I'd lost almost 11% of my battery with no screen use. I usually lose 2% overnight (7 hours), so that was kind of crazy. My phone also got hot for the first time.

Hopefully VZW will fix the crap reception in that particular neighoborhood, or at least update the PRL on this thing.....

[G2 General] cj31016:
I absolutely LOVE the battery life. Once I rooted, greenified, froze, and disabled CarrierIQ, it has been a dream. Also using Tasker of course to further control my device.
[G2 General] Darkestred:
I hit 90 hours this past weekend with 9% left. Granted, i won't see that this charge as i've been using the phone quite a bit. The battery life regardless, is fantastic. I'm always impressed with screen on time. I timed watching video with data/wife and push notifications on. 6m 10s before 1% was ticked. I'm sure that won't last as the battery nears 0 but still that should be 8-15 hours depending on what services are on or off. Maybe more.
[G2 General] IJS-T:
Are you running Google now, or perhaps push emails. Noticed Google services and android systems taking up about 60% of battery usage. After disabling Google now, and setting emails to retrieve every half hour, I got to 48 hours with 4 hours screen on time, Bluetooth, WiFi nfc always on, 2 hours of calling. Try to find what's draining it in the battery app or download better battery stats for more details.

Incredible Battery Life

Took my phone off the charger at 7am yesterday and 30 hours later it's at 30% left! Coming from a Gnex that would have needing 2 charges by now - I'm very impressed by the incredible battery life!

First change and near 4h screen time with 49 percent left. Well happy as I'm on course for near/over 7 hours screen time.

[G2 General] margaretiak:
Well Im pretty much satisfied with battery. Got 4.5hours of screen on after 20 hours - 12% battery remaining. Conditions were quite aggresive.

- whole night(9hours) i was swapping underground where is no signal and ground floor with a normal signal, so it was looking for a signal for some hours..used 3G for whole night without turning gsm off. I was checking whether the device its getting warm or not..result is not at all.

- 1 hour of hd youtube

- rss, fb, hangouts etc

- sync on

- 4-5 hours of music

- couple of photos

- screen is at 30% ..not sure if I even need more.

So guess if it wouldnt need to looking for a signal, it would be around 6 hours on screen which is perfect tho.
[G2 General] jspradling7:
YIKES!

lol

Holy crap I messed something up yesterday in the stock/rooted ROM I was running. I've been bouncing back and forth between it and CleanRom for a few days now. Both have ran great.

At lunch yesterday I plugged my phone in just to top off the battery. After lunch I listened to music app from the phone's memory via bluetooth. This is a daily thing and never any issues. The battery usually laughs off this light usage. GPS off, wifi connected, all location services off. But, when I got home 5 hours later I only had 30% battery left. I looked for the culprit app but nothing was running. I looked at the battery usage and it showed media services at the top with almost 50% of the batteries usage. It's never done that before.

So, I rebooted and the drain started right back up. Went to TWRP and cleared the caches... drain continued. It was down to 13% by this time. I went back to TWRP and restored a CleanRom backup and all was well again. I'm downloading the stock/rooted ROM again and I'll re-install it and I'm sure it will be fine again.

I've seen people post about massive battery drain before but this is the first time I've seen it myself.

Battery troubleshooting

I have had my G2 for about 1 week now previously used Samsung Note 2 and I have mixed battery results, the first few days I had great battery stats then they tanked. After reading this thread it confirmed that I have some sort of issue so I restored my phone yesterday. After the restore I installed minimal apps and battery stats were good again. Last night I installed more apps set the alarm and went to bed with it charging. Woke up this morning and with in 3 hours 10% dumped again. My question is what is the best tool to start digging in to see what the cause is. Luckily I purchased the phone from Best Buy so I have 45 days to exchange. Any help is appreciated.

[G2 General] Raverrevolution:
Just got this phone coming from a Gnex and the battery life is amazing!!! Unplugged from 7:30am 4 hours later and I still haven't dipped under 100% yet. I've been texting and waking the phone up for emails.

My Gnex in comparison with the extended battery with this use would be at around 87% :victory:
[G2 General] mjdupuis:
28 hours off charger, GPS off, location services off 4g always on and mostly connected WiFi. Mixed screen usage from 0%, 50%, and max brightness depending on the time of day. But the screen on time is great!
[G2 General] gtvanhorn:
Battery troubleshooting

FYI I have the AT&T phone and have experienced the battery drain all over again. Since I reset my phone the other day it has very few changes to narrow down what is going on. Today I woke up to the alarm going off and took my phone off the charger at 6.15am and by 8:15 it had dropped 9% just being on idle with less than 1 min of screen time. So I killed the carrier IQ and the result didn't change, next I removed the set alarm from the stock clock app and rebooted the phone. I am pleased to say so far everything is back to normal showing the battery graph not plunging but only time will tell, I will report back if it sticks.
[G2 General] mrbungle999:
Same exact thing happened to me this morning. The phone was great last couple days discharging 1% all over 6 hours over night then this morning on idle for 3 hours lost almost 15%. No screen time. This is really getting annoying.
[G2 General] mrbungle999:
Now I charged it up and I'm at work 3 hours hardly any screen time. Google is sucking it all up. The phone has been fine last couple of days and I restarted it this morning
[G2 General] Vysin:
Yeah Ive been having problems with Google Services taking up around the same amount as you do. Haven't found a solution other than turning PFF location services, which isn't ideal for me because I use location services
[G2 General] leyvatron:
Yes. Check your location services under settings and turn it off.
[G2 General] mrbungle999:
Yeah. I use them also and I shouldn't have to turn off the feature. It's the fact that for days with location turned on the battery is great then all of a sudden it screws up is what's pissing me off.

Yesterday at this time with heavier use I was at 85% today I'm at 38% and that's no mans land for me
[G2 General] hoonigan43:
I've read a lot about li-on batteries and the fact is you're not supposed to let them totally die. You shouldn't go below 20% charge, it actually ruins the battery faster. Charging more often is better for the battery. It doesn't get memory like nicad does
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
I´ve got a D802 and I get a weird wakelock: "mmc0:0001:2" which is under kernel wakelocks in Better Battery Stats. This is there from the start, I tried to factory reset and just install Better Battery Stats and its there. The weird thing with it also is that it gives a huge count ammount. Ive seen it go up to 1.4 million times one day. Does all G2s have it, just D802 or something with my device? Forgot to take a picture of it today, but it was up to 250k+ and around 3minutes time (of whatever BBS reports).

Other than that I get excellent time, had around 8 hours of web browsing/twitter etc and 45 minutes of Worms 2 on one charge. But 30% awake when screen is off, I think something is eating battery that shouldnt.
[G2 General] Clienterror:
First charge. Plus 2 hours of streaming from Google music with the screen off.
[G2 General] m3lover1:
Best battery life I've had so far. Usually get about 6.5 to 7 hrs but hit 8 hrs this charge. Unplugged since yesterday 6:30 AM. Included loads of of tapatalk, Internet browsing, whatsapp, and some streaming music. Best battery life I've ever experienced on any phone.
[G2 General] htcm7:
There is a little bit strange on my battery life.

Mainly I use my phone for download, browsing, emails, installation, etc.

[G2 General] ericbeige:
best battery ever

Easily the best android phone I've ever owned in terms of battery (and basically every other respect lol). Yeah so here's the breakdown.

So this is from the first day that I bought the phone. I set up my phone at the Tmo store and from there did not plug it into a charger the entire day. Meaning, I used it from the manufacturer's battery charge. So I bought the phone at around 1-2. I used the phone on purely 4g lte (except the initial Android setup which you need to setup a wifi connection) for the entirety of this time period until around 10 (As you can see in the screenshots). I don't download any games at all, only social media like instagram and twitter (all set to default sync settings), and my most used app would be google Chrome. And as per usual the entire suite of Google Apps (G+, Drive, Calendar sync, etc) are all running and syncing. So mainly I was surfing the web. I use 0% brightness - %20 percent brightness, but for the majority of the time it was on 0%. Most definitely the best battery life I've ever had on a phone. I feel like it's super easy to get 5 hours screen on time and 4 hours is like a given minimum!

For my first day of owning the phone I managed 6 hours screen on time and 8 hours usage time.

As background I'm coming from a N4, which has horrendous battery life on its own but compared to the G2 it's just pathetic. I could barely squeeze 3 hours screen on time with that phone not even using it. This phone's amazing! Right now it's 8 pm where I live, and my phone's been off the charger for 13 hours. I'm at 50% battery life with 4 hours of screen on time. I also was outside today in bright sunlight for about 30 minutes and had to max the brightness out. OMG. Definitely 10/10. Perfect battery life.

Apparently I can't post links cuz i'm a newb. Sorry guys

If the Oppo color ROM isn't open source, then the chances of it getting ported in full are pretty low. Perhaps some of it will get ported. Perhaps some other features/functionality will be mimicked by ROM devs, app devs, or even themes.

(does this phone need to have an unlocked bootloader)

2) what is the best and most secure way to root it? (link to any guides will be much appreciated)

3) things that can possibly brick the phone and i should AVOID?

4) the best custom rom in terms of speed?

5) any necessary mods for stock rom?

You need to find the correct root method for your current hboot. If your phone is the at&t model, click the link in my signature, then find the right root method for you. If it's not, just go to htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader, then you can flash TWRP recovery, and flash a custom ROM.
