wow
that's amazing !
can you give the source ?
unbelievable
Thats unbelievable. I cant believe it. I would be happy with 6hours...... but 14!?!?
I wont believe this until I get more proof
nevertheless, thank you
Yeahh...
Screen brightness on 5%
I can do that with my Z1...
If I can get 6-7 hours on 69-70% screen brightness then I really believe I could reproduce that on 5-10% screen brightness

Video should be 30 hours long mate...
You could use 70% for a 2 hours, then 5-10% for a 10-20 hours and then 40% to record a 5 mins video.
It's not possible to know that all we could get is this...so we could believe it or not.
I don't buy that but OK...
Actually - I believe it is possible, if you lower your cpu freq to minimum and brightness to very low.
But if you are using device like every other "normal" person...
I really doubt battery could hold that much of screen time to.

Yes it was a joke, it would be 14 hours long for you to watch thus the :silly: .
There's no realistic way to verify anyone's claims so you can say they are bull**** all you want, but if what he is saying is the truth then it is pretty amazing and I highly doubt the Z1 can do it even at minimum brightness.

Why do you think it can't?
Z2 have slightly bigger screen and 1GB RAM more so I think battery life should be similar to Z1.
With IPS screen you could get hour or two more (screen time) but to get 7-8 hours more...I really doubt that...
But OK, that's my opinion...
Maximum I can get from Z1 (and my battery is really good) is 30 hours battery with 5.30h-6h of screen time (on 50-60%) and one hour more on (40-50%).
Tested on KitKat Z1 6903 stock firmware.
If you check details, you'll see there's only MXplayer (5%) and nothing more...
Where are the social networks, wifi, gps or push emails...
I'm not trying to say it's not possible, it is but only if you stay on home screen and watch it for a 14 hours...

BTW- it won't be 14 hours long video, it'll be longer.
You'll have to prove not only screen time but standby as well...
It's not same to have 30 h and 7 screen time
Or 9 hours and 7 screen time.

Sony themselves rate the Z1 with a 6.6 hour battery life playing video, and 10 hours for the Z2. We know there is a huge difference in screen technology and I think it's not beyond reason that there is a huge difference in power consumption (if you take into account the Z2 has a faster and thus probably more power hungry chipset)

Hmm...in that last sentence you confirmed my thesis...
OK, time will show...
Nice to talk to you
I hope no one is offended here, that wasn't my intention.
If I don't have Z1 I would buy Z2, that's for sure... That's great device.
I'll wait autumn and Z3 or whatever Sony name that one...

I takes about 10 hours, the lesson download much battery? when I go to sleep I lose almost 15% of battery. Any solution?: (
Battery life is terrible.
I refuse to do what my friend does:
Turn vibrate off
Turn screen brightness to lowest
Phone is always connected to Edge - unless he's using the Internet - then he switches back to Edge
Syncs his email every 15 minutes (pull not push!!!)
Always 'freeing ram' and exiting apps
His life sucks.
I am the opposite. Full brightness, 4g , push mail for my 4 emails, exchange server (email and calendar) for work and so on.
I manage this by always having a spare battery that I charge with my battery charger dock lol.
Will be doing the same thing once I can get one for my S4
I know, so far it's been below expectations for me too - I ordered a portable energy bank from Amazon this morning, and I guess I'll just carry it around with me from now on.. What a shame - the phone is extremely powerful too..
Install gsam battery monitor and let it monitor your phone and see what is causing wake locks. Also let the battery go through 3-4 battery cycles before you start comparing battery life.
That'd weird. Isn't the 9500 or the 9505?
My battery exceeds my expectations by quite a lot. Best battery I've had on a smartphone so far, and I've had a few.
Where my 920 died, this one still has 50-70% remaning.
Thats with push mail, air view, air gestures, wifi, mobile data, auto brightness, screen rotation, sync, gps and multiwindow on constantly.

Seriously? how much is the battery life? can post some pics?
I am also curous how many hours does it take for the battery to reach 15% and how much screen on time do you get. Please post a few screenshots!
After a day i have like 30% left. Screen on time is about 2h.

battery life is not a issue here I don't think I can get to 15% easily most day I do not but I will try to get some pics posted after an all day use no promises I manage to be busy a lot lol.
I am constantly using it.

I get similar battery life as well. Sometimes 4 ton6 hours screen times
16 hour days
I found my battery life improved when I got rid of a poor quality 32gig media card and used another spare old16gig one.
I also dumped corrupted mp3 files and videos and got new ones.
I think poor sd card quality and bad mp3 files are partially responsible for lower battery life.

So far with battery saving on it seems that nothing changed... Will test it further with daily use. But battery life here, even before using the app was not bad by any means.

like i've said, i've tried 3 different XZs, from different locations and different batches.
all are identical in battery life.
i.e., terrible. 3.5 hours battery life for on screen time is pathetic.
i'm doing nothing wrong.
its fine when on standby, but as soon as the display is on, watch the battery drain like a motherf*cker. this is even with brightness down to bare minimum, 4G off, nfc off, bluetooth off, etc all stock firmware, not rooted.
I
checking battery stats, it always the screen as the biggest drain.
and like i said, i've tried 3 different XZs from 3 different places and with enough time between them to know they cannot all be from 1 faulty batch.
the battery life on the XZ sucks.

Haha you guys are funny.
My brightness is %40 adaptive. Wifi On 3G on Stamina Off. (Wifi used mostly at home)
5+ hours of screen time as seen on screenshot.
I used Facebook and Twitter app all that time long.
I am one of those who are following and supporting the resistance at Gezi Park İstanbul. Thats why I was on twitter most of the time when I took the screenshot.
BTW. I dont have any special settings I use greenify for useless apps thats all.

and how much time did you spent at home using wifi? you do know if you use 3g the whole time there is no way in hell to get 5 hrs screen time with the above setting you have.

My friend I said it is mostly wi-fi because I was at home browsing web, twitter and facebook.
I was outside for a short time which includes a few minutes of video taking and some photos of protests outside.
So this includes some time of under the sun activity too although it is not long.
I am not claiming my average usage is 5+ hours. I can say this was one of my experiences which I happen to see more then 5 hours maybe if I waited for %1 it might be 6 hours?
If I go to work use the phone less etc than my screen time of course drops. Phone eats battery when idle too as you can guess. But if you use the phone non stop like me I am sure you will see 5 hours and more.

How's the battery/charge life?
With a 3200mAh battery, i assume it's better than most...
I've been spoiled with my OG Razr maxx, and frequently go two work days without charging
But I want more screen...lots more
Given the Qualcomm chip that handles the radio management and is expected to reduce battery consumption by 20% and heat by 30% it should do quite well even with 1080p and 5.7" screen.

Probably about the same as Gnote II which is said to be the better than every phone not named Razr Maxx(HD). The 1080p screen will still take it's toll though.

Please, the screen time is irrelevant it's how you use that screen time is what's important. You can watch netflix 9 hours non-stop, but you won't be able get these 9 hours of screen time any other possible way, only if you keep it on all the time.
So in average you might get 4 hours of screen time by using it for 15 minutes at a time, or next time it will be only 2 hours if you turn it on for 30 sec at a time.
Screen time on it's own is like artificial benchmarks - useless.

Please, the screen time is irrelevant it's how you use that screen time is what's important. You can watch netflix 9 hours non-stop, but you won't be able get these 9 hours of screen time any other possible way, only if you keep it on all the time.
So in average you might get 4 hours of screen time by using it for 15 minutes at a time, or next time it will be only 2 hours if you turn it on for 30 sec at a time.

Screen on time with average use, ie. email/texting/web IS indeed a good indicator.... That is why screenshots should show the battery screen and screen time so that you can evaluate what is being used

That's exactly is my point - one must see how the phone was used together with the screen time before be able evaluate it. Unfortunately people show screenshot of first screen where all apps displayed and then screen time screen. That doesn't tell you anything either. The details graph is what's most important in battery live evaluation.
I can have 24 hours battery life and 7 hours of screen time. How? - by not touching the phone for 17 hours and then watch netflix til it dies. It will be amazing unless I show the battery usage details graph.
P.S.
Not arguing, just saying
I now understand why i barely get 2 hours of screen on time with my gnex... I use it way too much. When my screen is open, i'm usually reading news from flipboard news360 etc. that's why it doesn't last that long.
This is one of the best days I have had with my Maxx... When gauging battery life I look for what is being used the most. I am constantly emailing/texting/reading rss/web surfing/etc... if it is on it is being touched in someway. Seldom have I watched more than a few youtube videos, never netflix. The only time it is awake and not being touched is in the morning when I stream iHeart Radio.
I know that I would never be able to come close to this with the N3...

So I've had the Z3+ for a few weeks now and I have not been particularly impressed with the battery life. I was just curious to know what kind of longevity others are getting. I seem to average 4 hours sot with medium to light use. I am on .24 firmware and had two OTA updates as soon as I turned on the phone after opening the box. What are you guys seeing in terms of battery?
Edit: Should mention this is with intermittent wifi and data turned off. No apparent wakelocks either
. 4+ SOT seems to be around where I'm getting... some music or YouTube on work commute about 2+ hrs.. No games.. Mostly browsing...
Today so far..

Good to know, thanks. My gsam stat screen looks nearly identical to that. Perhaps the 5.1.1 update will bring some improvments
Hey,
I noticed this as well, on .24. However, my phone almost cooked itself, so was a little more worried about that. After doing a 'phone repair' in PC Companion (Bridge for Mac), the temperature dropper a LOT, and as an added bonus, the battery life seems a lot more stable. Recommend doing a clean install of .24, not OTAs.
Returned my z3+ because of the battery life. For a phone that large and heavy the battery sucks. My new z3c has almost double the screen time.
Yeah i get around 4hrs of screen time normal usage, music/games/web browsing/wifi etc.

I'm jut curious if all of you guys having bad battery life results had any power save features turned on or if you were using any apps to turn off cpu cores.

I'm not using any power saving features or turning off cores. I didn't notice much of a difference between stamina mode or normal TBH. I take it you've been observing better results/ on-screen times?

Holy **** this.
I was using no pwoersaving features and would end the day at 10-20% with moderate use.
Now with stamina mode turned on(whitelisting only commonly used apps), I end the day at 60% with moderate use.
Stamina mode is the greatest thing I have ever come across.
You guys that are getting really bad battery life should definitely look into using stamina mode more aggressively. I've white listed the apps I commonly use (which really aren't that many) while keeping brightness at a reasonable amount and I've gotten great battery life. 5 hours of SoT while on constant WiFi over here. I do use greenify whenever I remember, Nova launcher with app swipe gestures is awesome.

My battery was emptied in about 10hours, moderate use (Stamina mode, not ultra). On top of that, it went into a boot loop when there was about 10% left.. And there was nothing that could stop the loop except for plugging in the charger and wait about 30 minutes for it to stop the loop or wait and let the battery get emptied. So today I did a factory reset and a repair through Sony PC companion - and the top third of the screen stopped reacting to touch completely. Just sent it in for service/repairs.. Hope to get some good news soon. I'm really starting to regret ever buying this phone...

There is a thread about the boot loop. I think they also found a fix for it.

Ok, so it seems that using power saving mode or stamina mode or whatever it's called does make a difference on battery life. On my Galaxy s5, although it has a Snapdragon 801, it is still a quadcore SoC, and turning off two of the cores makes a huge difference on the battery life.
So my point is if you would to turn off the A57 cores completely off I wonder how much battery would increase. Or even if you do not mind a bit of lag, 'cause I don't, maybe even go a step further and turn off one or two of the A53. I found an app on the playstore that allows me to turn off cores on my 801. I would like for someone to give it a shot and see if it makes a difference. It did not work on the Galaxy S6 and that's why I am still looking for a new phone.
Having a non-removable battery is definitely a deal breaker for me. But if the phone has the ability to go at least a good 16 hours without a charge, then that wouldn't be such a bad deal. That means if you unplug at 0500 you could still go all the way to 2100 before you would be forced to plug in. Just throwing my two cents out there for you guys. I wished someone would comeout with a phone as good as the Z3+ with the features of the Samsung S5. 5 to 5.3 in screen, water resistant, removable battery, micro sd card and a screen that's comparable to a Super AMOLED. LG G4's screen is very good but with a locked bootloader it kills the ohone for me.
Alright, sorry for the rant. Let me know if someone wants to try out the app I was talking about. And by the way, im not the developer of the app. Im just an user.

With Stamina mode it breaks 16 easy.
I am currently at 41% battery, and my phone has been on for 24 hours. This is with light-moderate use.
I have yet to drain this phone to 0 yet, so I will see how long it can go.
I have the low battery stuff kicking in at 20%, so it should go even longer.
It didn't seem like extended stamina mode that lowered performance made any difference for me.

I forgot to drain to 0 on first use. Is that still recommended/required with the new devices? Is it too late to do it after a few charges? (one week old here)

Discuss your battery life here.
Anyone have any early reports on battery life
A user on Reddit has one and did a first rundown.
7.5 hrs sot on overall 8.5 hrs on a first charge.
Still to be seen how the standby is, but all reports look for it to be better than expected which is good news. Also he doesn't notice any ram issues. First impressions are good.

Damn fine if you ask me. Better than my note 4. I'm surprised as hell. I never believe the improved efficiency and optimization stuff but somethings working.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
I personally am not that worried about run time on the battery. My Note 4 has great battery life for me and I would expect the Note5 to be good. Quick charge really makes a big difference and the recent introduction of quick charge external battery packs means that I will not have to really worry that much about battery life. Others may have a different point of view.
One thing that really worries me is the internal battery. I have owned the Note2, 3, and 4. I have had to replace the battery on both the Note2 and Note3 when the original battery failed. I give my old phones to other family members and sooner or later the batteries always start to fail. On the Note3 it took a little over a year and a half. Probably about the same time period on the Note2. If you go to youtube you can watch some videos that show you how to replace the battery on the S6. It looks like a miserable project. Nothing I want to worry about. Finally, I am personally offended by the throw away connotations of a smartphone with an internal battery. With a glass screen protector and a case, these phones can still be like new after a year or so of use. It just seems wrong to build a product that you know is going to fail for as trivial a reason as the battery.

No movies here dude. And you don't have to come in here and defend your note 4. Still have one myself. Just trying to show some battery life stats for people that are considering the 5. If that's not you then please move on.

So overall is your impression that the Note 5 has better battery life than your Note 4 ? That would be impressive.

According to the images they posted - They had 8hr 42mins of total battery life
The screen accounted for 24% total battery - Android System 21% etc.. Not sure how screen can be 24% and still be 7hrs of a total 8hr 42 on battery ??
Fantastic if proves to be accurate though.

Just used the phone more. You'll see that the standby time went down as the SOT went up. I'm thinking it'll settle in around 22 standby and 6-7 screen on. Which is better then anything I've had for awhile. I have the note 4 and s6 active right now. And had a s6e. This phone will get me a little more then even the active I think.

If they were both brand new then it would be a fair test.
