Best Battery Life You've Had? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My record so far:
1 Day, 12 Hours, 10 Minutes with 7 hours screen on time. Didn't use my phone much, a bit less than average.
2 hours of listening to music, about an hour of YouTube videos, an hour or so of Twitter and internet browsing and several texts and emails sent. Screen was on half brightness.

Lol!
Running stock with most of the s4 features turned off, medium use 10 hrs with 2.5 hrs screen on. Used for whatsapp, facebook, a few pictures (when not rebooting lol), couple of phone calls, flipboard and browsing with tapatalk. No games or video watching.
Compared to my Note 2, battery life is horrible.

I got alright battery life on stock, not great though.
Switching to a AOSP-style ROM made a massive difference though!

Running omega, today I got 15 hours total including fifty minutes of video, a twenty five minute phone call, and four hours total screen time. Tons of texting too. Currently at seven percent.

i am very satisfied. my daily use for this phone is like this.
Wake up unplug the charger. put on my bluetooth so it connects to my car 40 min ride to work while listening to music from my phone to car. while at work make a tonne of calls, whatsapp, text, sometimes game, use a app called filmon to watch tv, reconnect phone to car and come back let my little sisters play dodgeball for an hour or so and then when i get it back it says connect your charger 10 percent or less left..
Best battery wise phone i ever owned in awhile.. I know this cuz i came from a LG Optimus 3D and oh my god 4 hours battery max even on standby is shyt..
Edit: oops didn't mean to quote you hit the wrong button lol..

[Q] Is this normal battery drain?

Ok guys, I keep hearing people ranting and raving about this phone's battery, however I feel that mine is either faulty or everyone else is exaggerating. On a typical day, of normal usage, heavy web browsing, occasional 10 minute game session, I can get about 4 hours screen on time, and about 14 hours total time before it's dead and I need to charge. I have minimal wake-locks now that I've figured the majority of them out, and keep location services on device sensor only. My device is deep sleeping more than being awake, and will last quite a while while asleep, battery doesn't seem to abnormally drain while asleep. Every time I've been able to track it down to a wake-lock issue if it has.
It's draining very fast (it seems) while screen is on though. Wifi calling is almost always on the majority of the time.
Any ideas? Is this way off? Or is this the norm?
I've done the usual factory restores and all that, and still no improvement.
Thanks!
Example:
Are you using a custom kernel? You could try dorimanx's and heavily skew the CPU towards a lighter load
I used to get 4h on screen time for quite a while, but k realised that it was cos of 4G @ and the way I used my phone. If you read a lot and hardly launch or close anything the battery life gets better very quickly

That seems about right.
On stock I get between 4 and 6 hours screen time and about 24 hours on battery. Being on WiFi rather than 3g helps a lot and turning down the screen brightness.

Do you guys have similar averages? (Seen at bottom of image)

Terrible Battery Life on Comparison to Others. Suggestions?.

WTF is going on with my battery? I have the S7 Flat snapdragon version (G930v) running the G930u software unrooted which removes all carrier bloat. Screen brightness is set to a little past half way. I have all setting provided by stock software optimized for maximum battery life other than running AOD. I am running a black Wallpaper/Lockscreen/ and an All black theme from the Theme Engine.. I Repeat, I have all stock firmware options Optimized for battery. Every single one. Wth hell is going on here. My battery time is looking Rediculous in comparison. Someone help me out here.

I feel asleep around 3am I guess with 89% and woke up just now close to 11. Heres battery over that 8hr period. 5% during that time. Standby drain is not bad it seems. But only 10hrs on 100% is crazy low compared to what some of you guys are getting.
End of Trial:
What can I do to get this increased.?
4.5 Hr of SOT is very Good. I am on the U firmware also and get 3 SOT. When you make comparisons, compare to SD Soc not the Samsung Exnos. You can download Gsam Battery and give it more permissions thru ADB and monitor. I noticed my proximity sensor (2) are giving high wakelocks.
The SD vs Exnos makes that much of a difference? I'm seeing people get 5.5-6.5screen on time in the main s7 thread. Granted not many relay the information as to weather they have SD/Exnoys or Flat/Edge.
4.5 hours when compared to 6 average over there, eh to me that's on the low end. I'd be losing my mind if I was only getting 3SoT.
I miss removable battery functionality.
Do you guys leave your screens on 24/7 or something? I use my phone quite a bit, but get 24 hours to a charge.
Is this ok?
At this brightness level plus I have turned off buttons backlight.

Yes, please post app usage and screen on time. Thank you.
I'm at 61% right now
Here's my SOT from the second full charge. One of the best that I've seen with my usage.

Good mate but you charged it a bit
Not bad at all for this battery/hardware combo.
Stock ROM rooted with Magisk and Force Doze
At 55% battery I'm looking at 4 hours 11 minutes screen on time. Usage split between YouTube and chrome.
I got down to 12% battery, had 6:50 SOT. Youtube, loudspeaker music/podcast, lots of Chrome, some social media. Really happy so far.
Straight usage. 100 -> 49
4:43 of SoT
YouTube and Chrome.
I have force doze so I think during standby it'll flatline. Just can't stop using my phone though.
Screenshots speaks for it self

This is great, would be better if next time you provide us with screenshots please :good:
Here's mine from yesterday. Almost 6hrs S.O.T with 50% battery remaining.
First full day with device.
Includes 1.5 hours of GPS and Bluetooth streaming
Very happy with results.

I'm very happy with my results after first full charge and purposely pushing it to test the battery.
High accuracy and all battery consuming features on.:good::good:
First days of normal usage since I received my U11 one week ago. Got to say I'm honestly impressed and like what I got.

Battery life looks great

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Redmi Note 8 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Can anyone post some SOT pictures? I am curious about it as I want to get this phone but I want it to have at least around same battery life as my note 5 pro.
Are these values normal?

After a full long day of mix usage, inside and outside. I get these most of the time
This is mine.. I am sattisfied with this..
Any updates? How is SOT on MIUI11?
MiUI 10 SoT AVG, 8h (Waze, Games, browser, YouTube, etc, Auto brightness)
MiUI 11 SoT AVG, 6 to 6.5h same usage. Even after a hard reset.
I have great battery ? live with MIUI 11. About 9-10h SOT.
Per night I have lost 3% in 9 hours. ?
I got over 8hr SoT for 55% drain, mostly light task tho
