These numbers dont look encouraging at all. Hopefully this 3g power drain isnt all hardware and can be fixed up in software...

Mine is just fine. gets me through a full 8 hour work day and then some. Its right there with the evo and other android devices. Want better battery life?, unferclock it like iphone 4.
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
Well mine just sucks as does the gps. My wife and kid was lost yesterday and the nav/gps would not work. Screw this piece of chit.
[Epic 4G General] VinceOB:
Battery life does suck. Can't do anything on the phone for fear of the battery crapping out.
[Epic 4G General] DJPUSA:
Expectations

Not sure what you are expecting as far as battery life but I have spent hours doing everything from GPS to downloading apps from wi fi and I get about a good 7 - 8 hours. No problems here.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Battery life threads bother me.

You ask your phone to do everything but wipe your rear end. It does more than Apple ever thought about, and we demand even more as customers. Faster Data, faster processors, more ram. Guys I hate to break it to you - but you want battery life go get a feature phone or blackberry. Otherwise, quit complaining about all the stuff you ask your device to do on such a small amount of energy. If we would quit caring so much about design and weight, phone companies could pack a car battery into it for you - look at Sedio... completely ruins the aesthetics of the phone, but you get longer battery life!

<conclusion>

Shut up or give up, battery technology just ain't there yet - and probably will never be able to match our demands until we have little nukes in our pockets.

</conclusion>
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
My EVO was pulling roughly 15-20 hours of battery life out of a full charge.

Thus far, I haven't been able to break 12 hours with the Epic, doing the same thing and with roughly the same usage. It's more than enough for a day, and I'm almost never near a charger (office, car, home, etc) but it'd be nice to have an extra boost. Bought those 2 for 10 Chinese batteries as a just in case.
[Epic 4G General] jazix:
At work right now and while streaming dubstep.fm and chatting on aim, my Epic is discharging while it's plugged into the charger.
[Epic 4G General] icantdrawanime:
You people that come into ever battery thread telling everyone to quit complaining and lauding the 8 hours of battery life you phone gets are not only completely missing the point, you're also contributing nothing to the discussion and perpetuating this conception that a third of a day is more than good enough for a phone's battery life. I mean, ****, my laptops get 8 hours of battery life.

The issue here is that we can clearly see that an android phone can get as much as 4 hours of 3g browsing time and 8 hours of wifi browsing time. The fact that this phone fails to come even close to that amount is alarming. A 25% reduction 3g browsing time and a whopping 38% reduction in wifi browsing time should make you question what is going on in this phone. Especially since the manufacturing process that produced this SOC is supposed to be much more power efficient than the one that produced the HTC evo.

I for one am really hoping samsung is aware of this issue and that battery life can be improved via some software tweaks. I owned the HTC evo. I was able to easily get 20 hours of battery life out of that phone doing the exact same things I do now. I was hoping to be able to match that with this phone. But right now, there is definitely an issue. Any of you people that deny it are seriously deluding yourselves.
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
I too have been frustrated by the surprisingly poor battery life. I've been holding back on believing it is a real problem because the first few days I had my Evo, it too had terrible battery life. However, with the Evo, after some battery conditioning, a hard reset and configuring the phone for what I wanted it to do vs what it came configured to do (Ex: I do not need push email, google voice or 4G running all the time and 25% screen brightness with a widget to switch it to 100% when needed) the Evo stepped up to the plate and settled into a cadence of giving me over 24 hours of use on a single charge.

I've had an Epic for over a week now. I've used it exactly as I do my Evo. I configured it the same as the Evo and in some cases with more extreme battery preserving (Ex: set the screen brightness to zero and only sync email every two hours (rather than the Evo's every hour)) and I can barely make it 14 hours, and that is a 14 hour DEAD stop.

Two other issues that are driving me crazy are the GPS and 3G performance.

It seems that when I'm sitting at home, the GPS will lock in about 10 seconds, but if I'm on the road in a random place (when I need the GPS the MOST) it will simply not lock if I'm driving and if I stop, it will eventually (maybe 5 minutes) lock.

3G performance has been absolutely horrible. I put the Epic right next to an Evo and TP2 and the Epic will get between 1/4th to 1/8th the throughput of the others. If I switch to Wifi, all is well and 4G is comparable (although not as reliable) to the Evo.

I am a keyboard person, the only thing wrong with the Evo was it did not have a keyboard. The Epic is exactly what I want, but these three strikes are making it tough to love. The 3G problem should be easy to fix with an update, as for the GPS and battery I don't know. I'm anxiously watching Sprint / Samsung to see if they will produce an update (see if they stand behind this product.)

BTW, at the end of a day, the number 1 battery culprit (according to the battery settings) is the display. With approx 1 to 1.5 hours of use at 0% brightness with an all black background, it still takes 50% to 65% of the battery (people posting that Super AMOLED saves battery over LCD are simply wrong.) The next offenders are Cell standby and phone idle. I was experiencing the 50% no signal problem, the workaround to cycle airplane mode helped that. But it does bring up another issue, although I have not had any call drops, the signal strength is consistently two bars (out of 6) lower than my Evo and TP2 (sitting right next to each other. At my home and in my office, my Evo and TP2 get 5 to 6 bars (full signal) but the Epic is 3 bars. I know the bars shown are not a good indicator and I don't have any dropped calls, but I wonder if this is not causing battery drain. This also makes me concerned that the main problem with this phone may not be solvable with software, it may be poor antenna design / implementation.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Wow, if more people actually realized that the SAMOLED screen uses MORE battery when displaying white pixels, we'd see less threads like this and less articles like the one posted.

On SAMOLED screens, each pixel is individually lit. White requires the most light. Constant web browsing will kill your battery FASTER than anything else because white is the color of choice when it comes to mobile web pages.

With that being said, OTHER THAN WEB BROWSING the battery on the Epic is much better than the EVO.
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
hmm i made a thread on 3g battery drain just the other day glad to see some actual evidence to back it up.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Wonder if we could hack together a browser mod to invert colors?
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Heh. That would be nice. In the meantime, I use a darker wallpaper. When using the kindle app, I use white text on a black background. I keep my brightness at 0% (surprisingly still pretty bright) unless I go outside.
[Epic 4G General] b1indsided:
My battery if fine too. Turn off wat u don't need and you'll be fine. Mine lasts 8 or 9 hours. U can't expect to use this beast at full power doing everyting all the time and expect this 1500 battery t be magically long lasting. Same prob with evo. Tame the beast
[Epic 4G General] yellowxboy:
A-effing-men man. The more features the phone has (or that you use), of course the more battery its going to drain. I came from the 9630 blackberry and i had about 6-10% battery drain per hour so this Epic isnt too bad of a switch for me since i am a heavy user.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
Anyone know of any extended batteries for it? I was quite happy with my G1's thickness, so adding a few mm on here should be fine.

(Also, screw form over function - last thing I want is a pretty, comfortable brick.)
[Epic 4G General] ryan74701:
Lol I had the same issue, so im taking it back and sticking with my evo and its badass extended battery
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Really sad when "a good 7 - 8 hours. No problems here" is now the yard stick battery life we expect from smartphones. Nothing smart there really. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Wasn't SuperAmoLED supposed to be the wunderkid technology battery life saver? It seems not to be the case with these descriptions like yours. What gives? So it looks better than LCD but sucks just as much juice??
[Epic 4G General] pjree:
I've been getting 12+ hours thanks to Juice Defender and Tasker. Juice Defender uses the default data 1m every 15m and data always on when screen is on. Tasker is set to only allow GPS and network location to be turned on if Google Maps/Navigator or Sprint Navigation is active on the screen. I also have is set to turn off mobile network if there is no 3g or 4g signal. Had my Epic unplugged today for 10 hours today taking 6-7 5min calls, 30 texts, browsing during lunch, and checking/sending dozen emails and still have over 40% battery.
[Epic 4G General] Tgrable:
I took my phone off the charger at 5:30am went to work where I did alot of web browsing, texting, and watching youtube with a little mp3 listening. Despite all that I'm at 42% battery and it's 6:31 pm I've had no battery problems since I got this phone.

Sent from my Samsung Epic
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
The battery last longer the all of my HTC phones.
[Epic 4G General] cmdpapichulo:
I have an evo and my girl has the epic the samee settings and she only gets like 5 hours max out of it and i downloaded a bettery widget and it shows the phone is at 75% and the widget shows 32% so the factory gauge is off and the life is just horrible I thought it would have been better but i was wrong might just return it and get and evo instead
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I'm convinced that if you know what you're doing, you can make the battery last very long.

First one reads: 21 hours and 29 minutes. For almost 4 hours of that, the screen is on. So you people saying you get 5 hours of battery life are doing something very wrong... or you have a bad phone. I can easily surpass 4 hours battery life with the screen on the whole time. Some of you don't seem to realize that once the phone hits 10-15%, it takes a LONG TIME to get it down to 0%. This is probably due to the battery just not being calibrated yet. At 6% battery I actually had to watch a whole hour of movies to get it to 0%... and even then the phone did not shut down.
[Epic 4G General] autoprime:
kinda think i have a bad phone then.. and its actually something ive considered already. i was an evo user(still am.. i use both phones) and know what im doing with android.. i get 20+ hrs out of my evo no problems.. after some tweaks/mods/hacks of course.

my battery usage always shows my screen using 70+%... and with the same 3/4hr screen on usage.. my phone would have 30% or so of battery left. i really dont get it. i came on here today just to look for others that may have this same issue. i was hoping it was some setting i just somehow missed.

im rooted.. but had this issue before that. my screen is set to automatic.. tho i have also tried setting it at the lowest possible setting. screen timeout is set for 30 seconds. using he switcherpro widget and htc music widget. 4g/3g/wifi/bt/gps off.

as for this possible 3g bug.. does the extra usage show up in the battery usage screen? im wondering if its somehow that.. but also like i said earlier.. my display is ALWAYS showing around 70% of battery usage.
[Epic 4G General] garekinokami:
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

21 hours is expectional, I mean jeez, do you go outside in the sun with your phone on 0% brightness and airplane mode and attempt to use it? Do you answer ANY calls? Text? MMS? Go on HULU? Post to Youtube? Take pictures? Do you do anything at all except sit on Wifi, browse and let it idle for 17hrs? I can get my Evo to do that too, lol. It really isn't that hard.

Then again, it's 7:30am and you probably just woke up after maybe 8hrs of sleep, so that's about 13hrs of maybe doing something.

People getting less than 5hrs are probably using their phone for something.

BTW: a 1hr movie? lol.

This post is unbelievable to me.

Try using Navigator and see if you can get 5hrs of phone life. I bought a phone to use it, not to have it sit on WIFI and browse the web all day.

Disclaimer: As an Epic (wife's) and Evo (mine) user, I am not complaining about the battery life, I'm just tired of seeing posts about how everyone else is doing it wrong. You all with the 21hrs of batt life are either using aftermarket extended batteries or turning off some or all the radios and using some programs to cut back on unnecessary programs.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
The phone needs 3rd party applications to help extend battery life. My epics battery and battery indicator does not function as well as say the capitvate, another galaxy s variant. But they are pretty close.
[Epic 4G General] ggoldfingerd:
Well I can say that the battery life is terrible compared to my HTC Hero. With the exact same software, push emal through exchange and gmail, and use in the same location, the Hero is so much better. I can go all day 14 hours on the Hero and still have about 30% remaining when I plug it in. The Hero is alo 10 months old.

On the Epic, I can barely make 8 hours and the phone is dead. I have the GPS and 3G enabled, nothing else. This could be due to GPS issues, a weak cellphone signal, or something else. I have hard reset the phone and have not installed any apps from the market. Maybe I will have the screen one for 1 hour during that time.

To fix this, I only use wifi during the day. Now I can achieve 12 to 14 hours per day with 10 to 20 battery life remaining. Luckly, I have Google Voice, so I only miss phone calls.
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
at first i would only get like 5 hours max but with juice defender im getting 13 daily and I use my phone alot. Gaming, heavy texting, ALOT of web browsing, market browsing, about 10-15 pictures a day, about 20 minutes in phone calls, and im always turning on my the screen just to use the pinch to view all screens for launcher pro lol. Oh and alot of music to both on the speaker and earphones. Its also my main calculator thanks to ti 89, 92 emulator.

and no im not always on wifi..that was just when i got home which was at 1030pm and i left my house at 10am..display is set at auto
[Epic 4G General] Last-Chance:
why are yall displays using 50%+? On my evo it uses like 5-10% max. The amoled screen must be sucking a ****load of power.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
Battery is pretty bad for me as well. But I've come to expect that. Every smart phone I've had I've needed a wall charger for my spare batteries. *sigh*
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
for some reason sense roms dont show alot of display usually around 25 percent. When i had cyanogen rom on mine the display would show above 50 percent like this.
[Epic 4G General] poulosjr:
I just got the Evo... im thinking on poooooooossibly exchanging it...

can i get some thoughts please? , thank you.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
The point was to show how long it CAN last even with 4 hours of active useage. Look at that picture. Notice that screen on time is almost 4 hours. That means for 4 hours, my display was turned on and was being used. The ONLY reason I had on airplane mode is because I didn't want the phone to die before I took a screenshot. I also turn on airplane mode when I sleep because nobody calls\texts me between the hours of 1am-6am.

The 2nd biggest killer to my battery life is cell standby because I get crappy signal at my house... so I do what I can to prolong battery life when at home. I text a lot, but that actually uses little battery life. When I make calls, it also destroys battery life unless I go outside where I have better signal. Seems that making phone calls in a low signal area will drain the battery insanely fast. Inside my house, talking for 2 hours would drain my battery from 100 to 0.

When watching movies, the battery drains at a rate of 10-15% per hour on 25% brightness (which is actually pretty bright). Using google maps\navigator KILLS my battery faster than expected, so I just plug it into my car charger. I think I lost 15% in 25 minutes of usage. My EVO was not like that.

My battery life rarely hits 21 hours anymore... but I also have a spare battery. I actually don't care about how fast it drains when I still have a 100% spare. It's much nicer than always having to charge the phone when you want to use it. Worth the extra money for the battery + charger.
[Epic 4G General] vashht:
My battery life is a little better now than my evo was, I get 10 hours at work with about 3.5 hours screen time. I also get terrible signal in myh building, I have about 40-50% time w/o signal at work. This phone was just released too, the evo had terrible battery life when it first came out, so I'm hoping thre may be some updates that improve battery life. I ordered a wall charger and extra batteries, I should be able to get through and entire day easily wth 2 batteries.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
what spare battery do you have a 2nd stock one? I personally like the seidio products and will be waiting for them to put out a battery because there stuff usually has more charge than stock and higher quality cells.

Also, I am pretty sure the reason people can get such extreme battery lasting times is with Juice defender. Since 3g kills the battery as much or more than the screen and the android battery info doesn't really report that, having 3g off when the screen is off will save a ton of battery. In that 29 hours of the super long usage 4.5 hrs of screen on means 4.5 hours of 3g on. On my epic(without juice defender) It lasted about 8 hours with 2.5 hours of screen on time and without juice defender that makes since.
[Epic 4G General] djcslice:
I have had my phone unplugged from my charger for about 4 hours and I am at 34% battery life. The battery usage says that my display has used 79% and has only be on 1 hour and 43 minutes. I had the display setting set to auto adjust but now I have it manually set to the lowest brightness.
[Epic 4G General] eturk01:
The real problem I'm seeing is that it takes 3.5 hours to charge from shutdown (low battery), with the phone turned off.

This slow charging means, even with the phone plugged in, using nav, it drains my battery and it's often too low when I arrive. Then, you can't just leave it in the car for a quick charge. I've never seen this on any phone.

This is what makes this a bad phone. Anyone else seeing this? do I have a bad battery or is this just the slowest charging device on the planet. How long does the EVO take to charge?
[Epic 4G General] MvP77:
Me and my girlfriend have this problem to. It takes forever for the phone to charge. I have never seen any device take so long to get a full charge.
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
hm, im at 65% battery after 17 hours and 40 mins

i did bump charging according to infamousjax, and i have a battery tweak im working on, some of you old hero users may very well recognize it. :D it is still very much alpha and i have been busy with other things for the past couple of days... but i should have a beta out at the latest sunday

[Epic 4G General] rickyq12:
First time I come on this thread as I just got the Epic for my wife and trying to find out battery life info for it. Dude...you couldn't have said this better. People ***** about how the phone won't do this and won't do that, but still expect the phone to last 24hrs without a charge. Well said my friend.
[Epic 4G General] Snegtul:
could agree more ricky!
[Epic 4G General] jessep28:
Once people stop picking up their phones every 5 minutes after a couple weeks, battery life tends to get better.
[Epic 4G General] rickyq12:
Thanks bro. The way I look at it...these phones are some really cool toys for us to play with...as adults :D Therefore, we're going to play with them and we need to expect the battery to drain a little. There isn't much more to it than that. But of course it does help the battery life if we do some battery tweaks here and there. Just saying.

My phone stays in my pocket all day. I make maybe 4 phone calls a day which last no where longer than a minute. I have nothing auto syncing. Screen brightness all the way down, Juice defender running, No live wallpapers and I just do get a days worth of life from my phone. I have had it a little over a week also.
[Epic 4G General] p-niiice:
My chinese batteries are on the way so I don't care much about battery life.

Juicedefender doesn't help me at all if your running apps, using a lot of data, downloading and reading internet-heavy apps and web browsing. It does help wne I'm not using the phone and doing actual work at work....the chinese battery replacements will take care of the rest.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Sadly, this phone looks great with a live wallpaper. Auto syncing is a feature of the phone... we shouldn't have to turn that off. Screen brighness on this phone looks great at around 25%... where I try and leave mine. Actively using the phone with the above features present... 5-6 hours at best :p But I like using live wallpapers so much that I may get a 3rd battery.........
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
has rooting the phone drained more battery for you guys? I'm starting to think that may be the culprit for me.
