Coming from the m7, the life is garbage so far. Maybe 4 hours of screen time which is no better than the m7. My phone eats through the first 20% like a fat kid on halloween.

Well for you guys with poor reception I would guess that is most of your battery issues. When I'm at home I use WiFi all the time. Off WiFi I have 5 bars of 4G so I really never have any issues there. Doing this as long as I have I would bet after a week of battery drain and charging it will get better. I really don't think you can make a good assessment of the battery on a new phone until you have it a couple of weeks.

The people dogging the battery life should be posting screen shots. It would be really interesting to see how many of the people badmouthing the phone on this site really have the phone.

I have had every premium phone Sprint has put out over the last 15 years and this phone is better than anything I have used thus far. Speed... Battery... Screen... and Camera is really really good. I have been overly impressed with the Camera quality after seeing some of my hiking pics from last weekend. Best phone that Sprint has right now without a doubt!

UPDATE* with the SD card in (16GB PNY) I am burning through about 5% of battery per hour.

with out the card inserted, i am getting near 4 times less battery consumption.

trying a different card (8GB transcend) and will post results.

is anyone else with bad battery life using an SD card and if so, have you tried pulling it to check my theory?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SooooneR:
Well with those results I would say it is your SD card or an app that is on the card. I use a SanDisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 with no issues at all.

Its better than my s3 by a lot but nowhere near as good as some of you guys. I think the biggest culprit is that in my school there is a bunch of dead zones and my phone gets no/low service during the majority of the 8 hours. My average screen time is prob 3 hours. I charge it a little before it dies instead of fully so by the time i do go to sleep it is dead and i can charge up all the way.

Anybody know why my wifi stays on but my wifi is not on at all during majority of the day? I have double checked it is off. Weird because same thing happened on my S3. The battery stats always displayed the wifi on all the time. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WW3:

Maybe one of the best but not the best, lg g flex still holds the crown for best battery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymook:
The phone seems to burn through the first 10% pretty fast (my s3 did the same) then settles down. Saw 3 hours of screen to 50% but then typical of this phone thus far, started to eat through the remaining 50.

BUT, it does seem to be getting better.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SooooneR:
The Flex can have the title of battery life. That's all it has. LOL The screen on that phone is terrible. My LG G2 was really good on battery but not as good as the S5.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowman82:
You right the screen isn't the best but it's not that terrible unless you really are OCD and besides i rather have an average screen over a screen thats going to kill my battery. 22hrs in with 4hrs screen on time the screen doesn't bother me much so yea i prefer this
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SooooneR:
Guess I really don't worry about that. If it gets me through the day I'm good. I use it moderately through the day and go to bed with 35% plus left on the average thus far. If I'm traveling I have a 10000mAh charger I plug up to that will charge it full two times. All is good. :D Battery on most phones are not an issue with a 10k. :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durandetto:
By far better than my s4 but not quite as good as my g2. However it gets me through a whole day with 3-4 screen and a couple hours of bluetooth music. That's all I really need in a phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piscesjoey:
My One Max has something to say about the Flex having the title of best battery life lol

Seriously though, there are many factors that play into battery life & the main one is coverage, & if you're in a shatty area with your phone constantly searching for a signal then expect your battery life to be constantly raped by it. Facebook is another main culprit also.

Lol try 45hrs off the charger and 7hrs screen time ;) once again the flex has the best battery life on a phone. This is just normal uses couple of web browsing, texts, some netflix and alot of music streaming when im at the gym.

Mine you thats on LTE majority of the time and with auto sync and all the other features turned on. The flex has a 3500mah li-po battery as in li-po the same battery apple uses, also compare to the average 2600~2800mah it's comparing apples to oranges.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piscesjoey:
The 720p screen versus the 1080p on mines makes a huge difference, but damn that is still nice! I could probably come close to that, but I'm always charging my phone every night & lately too I've been using FPSE emulator on my phone playing Final Fantasy 9 when bored at work & that hits my battery hard! Sometimes I wished I still had my S4 with 7500mah Zero Lemon battery, that thing lasted forever!

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowman82:
Oh yea of course the screen resolution plays a huge role on it and thats really the only downside on the flex is the screen but it isn't too bad. I'm waiting for the g flex2 see how that phone will do if they up the screen to 1080p which i think they will. But if the flex2 still does good with a 1080p screen then LG is definitely doing something good because the G2 has great battery life and has a 1080p screen but i heard kitkat is destroying the battery life now on it.

How are you guys getting 6-10 hrs of on screen time? Are you disabling everything and using your phone as a 1990's phone lol, if so that's no fun! How is the battery of you people that use your phone how it's supposed to be used?!

I keep getting this horrible Android System bug
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric214:
you have a massive wakelock issue with android system. It should never ever be on top of your battery stat list. a phone properly sleeping should be awake about 1 min per hour unless your playing music in the background or something. Most of the time it's Location Services causing the issues. You have 27 min keep awake time on 1h 41m time. That is really bad if you weren't using an app like a music player to keep it going while the screen was off.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGillis2391:
I still can't even imagine over 3 hours of on screen time. I just don't get it. I have to charge this phone a few times a day. My standby battery life sucks too when at work. I won't Even touch the phone for 5 hours and my battery is down to almost 50%. Its very annoying.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGillis2391:
The best I can get without the battery dying is about 3.5 hours. And that's with using ultra power saving mode when at work. I can't understand how many of you get 6+ hours of screen time.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BubZX:
Maybe a bad battery?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanu:
The battery issue is due to the radio really.

If you lock the phone to CDMA only mode for a day, watch how great your battery life will be.

The problem is a lot of towers have LTE but not in the manner Tri-band phones like yet so the phone is jumping non-stop always (even if you don't see it changing it scans, tries to connect, fails and falls back).

If you're on LTE 100% of the time battery is good, if your locked on CDMA battery is good.

If you're in an area with some LTE but also CDMA only towers around, battery sucks :/

At least for me this is how it is.

Years ago I had a large Sanyo phone, 4900 IIRC. The battery lasted about 2 weeks.

Generally, there are too many variables affecting the consumption to compare apples to apples. For example, a weak signal will require more power to transmit a heartbeat to the tower. Leaving phone overnight in the airline mode could give an idea about phone's own idle consumption.

Best difference I've noticed coming from my GS4 is netflix. I work night audit at a hotel and I have netflix playing while I work so I can have some background noise. On the S4, my battery would plunge from 95% to 2% in less than 2 hours. With the S5, after two hours, I've lost at the most 35%. Battery also lasts longer throughout the day but since I work nights, I am now charging it while I work and sleeping the rest of the morning.

Ambient light sensor no longer works on my V500 after upgraded to 4.4.2. Auto brightness dims the screen but doesn't do anything to adjust it according to light conditions.

I do not normally use the auto sense mode for the screen but enabling this I tested it and I can confirm that mine works without a problem. 50020b US version. It does take the brightness about a second to adjust to sudden lighting changes though...

Additionally androsensor does show a light sensor for my device and it does respond to changes.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloommax:
I happen to have two V500s, one with 4.4.2, the other with 4.2.2. I set the brightness to 100% with auto. In a dark room, both tablets are dimmed. The 4.2.2 one adjusts its brightness to a comfortable level. The 4.4.2 one is far too dimmed to view the content. I can confirm AndroSensor detects light sensor readings on both. I need to block the sensor first to allow CPU-z to detect it. The auto brightness was quite convenient to use for me previously. It also helps for battery savings when the screen is on. Now it's totally useless. I found the battery lasts significantly longer during sleep mode after the firmware update. However, it lasts shorter during usage due to brightness issue.

Guys, I just bought my LGOG Pro and I've noticed one strange thing. First two or three weeks the phone needed a little more than 2h (2:15, maximum) to fully charge battery (from 5% to 100% most of the times).

Now I'm having to charge it for 3h to fully charge it, in the same conditions. Is anyone having this issue??

Use a higher capacity charger. I use an iPad 1st gen charger. It charges the phone in an hour.

As for the small time variation in your chage cycles, that happens with android batteries depending upon the state of discharge when charging began and other factors, nothing to worry about.
