EVO LTE battery life

My phones battery life is horrible! It went from fully charged to approx 1/3 in 6hrs on standby. I thought it had better battery life.

Oh, sorry I thought you meant you simply had the WiFi radio turned on, I agree with the above statement, but of course any usage of data, WiFi/3G/LTE drains it a heck of a lot faster than just using your calculator app

EVO Zx Battery Life

Hi all. Just got my EVO ZX at Christmas. Love the sound but I cant seem to get more than about 3 to 3 1/2 hours out of a charge. I updated the firmware when I got them and installed the software on both the pc and my Note 4. I let them charge more than 8 hrs before first use. Bought a new Bluetooth adapter (Azio BTD-V 401) that supports aptX bluetooth v4.0 etc. for my pc.
But if I am connected to the phone or pc via bluetooth and run Soundblaster Central software to either listen to music or watch video, I go from a full charge to dead in 3 1/2 hrs or less. The advertised battery life is supposed to be around 8 hrs. Should I RMA these? Please help.

Hi Wingnutt,
You may want to try the following:
1) Ensure that the headphones are fully charged - charge it until the blinking LED goes off
2) Set the volume to mid-level instead
If the above do not work, please click "Contact Us" from our Support website.

I'm having major issues with battery life on my iphone 5 . When I'm on 3G my battery on lat 6 hours . But when I'm on edge network I get almost 8 hours usage and full day stand by . That's a. Major difference. But these phones were built for 3G and LTE .

The battery only last 6hrs complete with basic normal usage . I tried all the suggestions and nothing was helping. I finally tried switching off the 3G to EDGE and what a major difference in battery life . My phones last more than a day . I got so far 8 hrs usages And 25 hours standby . But that's phones were created to handle lte and 3 g why is it killing the battery life ?? How can I resolve this issue ?

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

Does turning the LTE feature drain the battery life and battery lifespan?

Does turning on the LTE feature drain the battery life and lifespan of the iphone 5S. Also checking emails and going on the internet drains the lifespan of the battery?

yes
wifi and bluetooth does too
batteries lifespan is being zapped when used and also when not used
it will get worse and worse and in the end it will stop working

5 days old iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 battery life please help

My phone is 5 days old and i am so fed up with battery life. I disabled all data settings and location services and i have nothing in notification center for any push notification. But still i lost 40% of the battery in half a day with just 5 mins of voice call and 15 mins of texting. Phone was idle the rest of the time and when i used i had brightness at around just 10-15% this is my first iPhone and totally disappointed as i saw battery to last a full day of normal usage in the internet. I am totally fed up with apple. What should i do now ? I am a student and invested an year's savings of mine to get this phone. I am totally fed up. Someone please help me.

You have to tell us what your usage pattern is like, what your reception/signal strength is, and what network type you are using (E/3G/4G/LTE)
To note, the more the screen is on (in long intervals 2+ minutes) the shorter the battery life is.
Streaming music over 3G will last 6 hours if the screen stays off for most of that time.
Email, messages, web browsing will last most of the day.
Since you have GSM, your phone should last 10 hours with light usage.

Battery life issues on iphone 5 with ios 6.1.4

I had upgraded the OS on my iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.4 and now I am facing extraordinary battery drain. I left my phone at 35% battery life while going to sleep and when i wake up, after 8 hours, it has gone down to 8% and less. This was not the case before with the earlier version of iOS or my iphone 3gs. I have tried some tips and suggestions but I dont think those are really helping. Could someone please help me out as to what should be done in this case.
Hope Apple is listening and intend to do something. My phone is brand new and not even a month old.

No i do not have LTE network access at home.
My cellular reception is quite good at home as well as work.
Yes i am using an exchange account, gmail.
This is what i have tried..
turning off SIRI, auto adjust brightness, push messages, notifications, blah blah blah...
Seeems like deleting and adding the mail account once again helped, as i am experiencing a better battery life today. I had read about this somewhere but weired that this could be a solution to a battery drain issue.
But still I am planning to take the phone to a store to get its battery checked.

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life on the iphone5. Have the phones always been this way? Is there anything in the works to improve the battery life?

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5. Is this the norm for iphones? Are they working on a fix to this problem? Almost wishing I had bought something else.

Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls.

My In Store Experience With Droid Razr Battery Life

I have a Droid Razr. I took it into a local store because my battery life is HORRIBLE. The phone had been off the charger for 1h40m minutes and it was already at 60%. The CSR told me it would take 40 minutes. When I came back he told me the test said the battery "was fine", and he went on to explain that it had only gone down 10% in the 40 minutes which is pretty bad. I left and checked the phone and it was at 40%. I thought I could get the battery replaced or possibly get a new phone but he just gave me the information and walked away. I had to track him down to ask him another unrelated question.
the battery has been on the charger the past few days more then i have been using it. i can't make a full day on a 100% charge, not even a half day. I charge at least once during the day, and around when im going to bed.

Hi there Sas1983!
Having a battery that will last is definitely important! I'm so sorry for the less than super experience with your phone and at the store location. I would be delighted to provide some information and suggestions.
4G LTE Smartphones run a different radio so battery life is a little bit different. As you already know you can't remove the battery from your Razr so we absolutely want to ensure it's good!
You can manage your phone by using Smart Actions on your phone. Here's some information: http://search.verizonwireless.com/?q=smart actions razr&x1=t1&q1=support
You can also close running applications easily by "double tapping" the Home Key and then swiping the open applications to the right to close them.
Let me know how these additional steps help!
Thanks,

How I fixed my short battery life on iPhone 5, and ActiveSync problems at the same time.

For anyone still having activesync or battery problems I have a potential fix:
I've had two issues lately.
First, my battery life was draining at an insane rate. iPhone5 lasted about 3-4 hours before absolutely dead from a full charge. LTE disabled, WiFi disabled, icloud turned off...about as power efficient as I could make it, and I was hardly using it at all. I was losing 1% batt every 2-4 minutes.
I solved this problem by removing my work account (Exchange Activesync) from my mail accounts. Obviously I couldn't stay like that for very long, so after confirming it stemmed the battery issue, I tried to add it back. Did a bunch of different methods and tests, and what ended up working for me was:
Remove ALL accounts (Had Exchange, gmail, icloud)
hard reset the phone.
After it came back up, I reset the Network Settings just for good measure.
In Mail control panel, make sure "Default Account" doesn't have an old mail account listed (option may be not even present if you've removed all accounts, but I was having issues earlier where even though I'd removed accounts, it kept listing them in the Default Account/Calendar sections
Add the Account
Open Mail
It actually took a min or two to start populating data, I didn't think it had worked, so give it a few minutes.
My battery life issue seems to be fixed, and my ActiveSync account works again. I've been off the charge for about 4h 40m now, and battery is at 90%, and that's with moderate usage on LTE.
Hopefully this helps out anyone having similar issues. For what it's worth, I removed/readded my Exchange account several times and it never worked until I had removed all accounts (my iCloud account was the last one to be removed), so if possible, just remove everything. I had already restored, DFU'd, and tried several other steps. This was what worked for me.
I have NOT added my iCloud account back yet, but will be doing this now to see if any issues reappear.

I am experiencng rapid battery drain as well. Before checking the forums I have closed apps running in background, turned off LTE, turned off location services, turned off wi-if & turned off Bluetooth...my battery drained to 53% in 3 1/2 hours.
This is my 1st personal iDevice so I do not understand some of the verbiage.
What is "disabled safari on icloud"?
I go to Setting - iCloud & I am not signed in
I don't see anything in Safari Settings about iCloud
Thank you in advance for your assistance

Upgrade results in diminished battery life

you recently upgraded software on my phone and my wife's phone. Since that time the phone gets very hot and the battery life has been cut in half. I read your response to another unhappy user in which he was told to go to the Verizon store. I did that and was told that I could either upgrade my phone or try a hard reset which would wipe out my data and my apps. This is obviously a problem with the upgrade, since I am not the only one having this problem. I would expect a patch to be sent out immediately to fix the problem.

Been suffering long enough after the KitKat upgrade. Figured it was time to post.
1). Phone runs hot - my theory is that it's struggling to find/keep LTE and cycling too much on the network
2). Battery life is horrible now. Used to end the day after normal use at 45% remaining, now recharging by mid-day
3). Text messages sometimes take up to 10 minutes to send
4). Random slowdowns - too many to really list, one app or another will freeze, not connect. I realize this can be an app issue, but still - a real drag.
Will not do a hard reset - I would rather pay out my contract and go to another carrier, seriously. Battery usage shows that Android System is taking up most of the juice - 24% usually. The phone worked great at one point, now it's junk.
For real, do I have to go to a Windows phone? Is that the life lesson here?

Has anyone actually experienced anything close to the Up To Battery life stated on the Tech Specs???

The battery is supposed to be so good that it would:
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
I have 4 chargers scattered around my life spaces. I went out for 3 hours today, made no phone calls and did not eMails, and still lost 60% of the battery life.
This phone is a work of art but simply not practical!
Anyone found solutions?

Being my first, can only compare with my old Nokias, last one being an N97 with features I still miss. However, after hours of studying the thing, reading all the manuals, including David Pogue's and studying it some more, I have managed to stretch it to 4 days without touching the charger, provided I turn it into a dumbphone for standby (all off except 2G voice) and selectively enable what I need while I use it. And NO Facebook. Subjectively, I felt a very modest improvement with the 6.1 upgrade, contrary to many irate forum posters.
Must confess being the main cause to limited battery life. With all the goodies and gadgets it has, it is simply too much of a temptation to resist dragging out instead of the Mac.

What can I do to save my battery life with the new ios 7.3 update

I Loved the ios 7.3 update. My battery lasted for the whole day and I use my phone a lot. I did the ios 7.3 update yesterday and my battery life is horrible. With 2 hours into my day today I was down to 80% battery and I hardly used my phone at all. I love my iphone, but this update was a horrible mistake for Apple!

Thank God that I am not the only one who lost battery life in 7.0.3.
I haven't changed settings from 7.0.0 to now. So I am not going to change settings. With that said my brightness is always at about half or lower, depending on the ambient light. Bluetooth is always off. LTE has always been on since I bought the 5 last year. Wifi stays on, connected or not. So with all these settings as they are, there has been a huge difference in battery life from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3.
I could swear that I went from 100% to 83% charge while I slept for 7 hours. ***??? Really?
I'll test it out again tonight.
I am at work and I turned off LTE for s&g. And still saw 5% drop in 40 minutes with a 2 or 3 minute use.

Lumia 920 battery life suddenly changed

Hi, everyone. I am a newbie here. I had my red 920 since 11/9 and it has been great until this Tuesday. Previously the battery was great and after full charge it usually showed battery life 1day or even longer. This Tuesday I used camera a lot. The handset did get warmer because of flash and focus assist lamp. After that night the battery darin rate became really fast. After one overnight charge 100% battery only shows 9hours and drain rate was like 10% per hour. Any one has suggestions why this occured suddently? Do I need to reset the phone to factory?
Thanks a lot

Hi
I had similar issue I went to Microsoft store,they didn't understand the problem.
they said background tasks, WiFi,location service etc. Everything was offline.
The issue started after December patch update.
The system keeps dropping signal very often and it tries to reconnect to 4G and LTE making battery drain, This is as per the Tech at Microsoft store...
Use wall charger for 3-4 hours. That helps. Also let the battery drain to less than 10% and charge , Turn of all your background tasks that helps...
No word from Nokia yet., Wireless charger doesn't work well.
Also when i tried logging in from Lumia 920 to post this message, the popup login on the sign in doesnt work. Also when you post the scrolling doesnt work really well like on the desktop. Not sure if its the site issue or IE10 issue
The Spell check for Lumia is still not fixed. it suggested Aluminia... can some mod from Nokia put in a request to fix this ?
Regards

Just a friendly comment that the list described on this link is incomplete. If you are a rep of the site, you should update it to include additional symbols, such as the personal hotspot icon, the LTE icon, and the bluetooth device battery level icon.
