And to use these roms it's good to have recovery for the phone...

Lastly, the battery life is pretty decent for a smartphone, to be correct with the matter. Every smartphone have "bad" battery life against none "smart"phones(dumbphones).
Hope this helps you !

I am using, B137 custom rom by Fibblesan from modaco.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...rom-for-the-huawei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/
Reason.
Works flawlessly, can do normal calls,browsing the network, flash works perfectly and no shuttering lastly battery life is great, holds quite long. I would also point out that when questions are asked most help when they can @modaco.
I would say hearing opinion is a small reason to try a rom, biggest would be to experience the rom then see if its really good.

With 3g, wifi on and light web browsing I get around 11 hours of usage until next charge. If I do not play around for such long time it can hold for 3 days in sleep doing nothing. But if I do normal activity, which involves, music,web,3g,sms and some calls + games. I will have 20 % left from 08:00 to 23:00 and thats no problem 20% is fine enough for a night sleep, and charge in the morning !
so is like my galaxy ace, form 08:00 to 23:00, i use 70% of the battery, with the sincro on all the time, using my emal like sms, it means that i send a lot during all day, wifi turn on during 8 hours and some games and web.
i still dont have the x5 but iam waitting for it, but i thought that the battery could be longer

Why would it be longer?
First thing you need to understand, the concept of why smartphone battery sucks. They don't evolve as fast as the smartphones itself. No one seems to wish add more power into their small batteries for the smartphones, thus making it look stupid.
ok i understand and i know, but the software could improve the battery life in some way

Yeah, software can only make sure a certain amount won't go to waste, for example stopping useless workload.
I don't mean to upset anybody, but I think that battery consumption is 80% related to the hardware and the rest to software. I used to have Wifi, bluetooth, 2 e-mail accounts with push on non stop, on my old Iphone 3G and battery used to hold for at least 2 days. Now, because this battery is 3 years newer, wouldn't you think that there should be improvements? The fact that you get 3 days out of this phone's battery, makes me think that you're lucky...I never got more than 2 days, with all sorts of ROMs, including FLB.
The rule "what you pay is what you get" reflects the reality here, quality hardware makes the difference, simple as that. I like the U8800, but to be able to get more life out of the battery, the quality of hardware needs big improvements.
As an example, the bluetooth on the Iphone use to work in the proximity of my car, but with the U8800 it disconnects while I'm in the car... not to mention the wifi, that's flaky as...I'm not bagging the U8800, for $300 brand new, it's definitely worth buying, but if you want a bit more quality, pay the difference and get the Desire or something.

First: No one who needs 3+ day battery should buy a smartphone! If you want a super battery, go to a dumbphone with a xpto 8+ days battery. I my opinion, a smartphone with a 24h battery (wifi on, 3G on, network data on, good brightness, some gps, etc) is the perfect deal. I couldn't 100% test the battery duration of the Huawei because it's still network locked, so I've done any calls and any sms/mms, but with wifi on, auto-sync, FB sync, tweetdeck sync, google account sync, some internet browsing, lots of social network browsing and good brightness, there's now 25h uptime and 32% remaing. Is this bad? I don't think so...
Second: Go ahead, compare a 500€ iPhone to a 150€ Huawei
BTW: It's network locked but I'm using the original SIM and it's working properly. I've done any calls or sms but it's not in flight mode, it's completely operational... Except for the fact that I aint no friends using TMN ahah SO, the battery duration isn't much affected by this fact.

Iphone is more than 3 years old and worth less than $100...Not sure what you're talking about. Or do you still think that Iphone 3g is worth 500??
The topic here was to decide if to buy U8800 or not. If you think that a "smart-phone"s battery should last 24h, then you deserve this phone... I'm thinking, "no go". You can get a whole lot more from a Desire.
In my view, the specification says 370h in standby, with wifi on, you should still get 100h...not 24h.
BTW, can you give me an example of an $300 "dumb-phone" ? )
só tiago, I can see that you are Portuguese, I'm to. so with a lot of using you can get one day of battery, with an extreme use. because for me I will use a lot the email because I use it like sms to.my girl that is out of the country so it should e on all the times. the rest us a normal use with calls something like 2 hours of phone calls.

Sorry, I thought you have the 4G... I take back what I said about 500€ iPhone.
370h only if it's sleeping all the time without data, syncs, wifi, etc... With a full smartphone use, 100h are impossible to get otherwise I think the user is not using it with full capacities... Like I said, with all-day wi-fi, sync, notifications, data transfer, good brightness, some GPS, browsing, sms, calls, etc etc (full smartphone use), get 24h+ battery is very hard... My 2 cents.
$300 dumbphone? A "dumbphone" is a phone for those who don't need a smart one, so I don't see the point of your question... If anyone is thinking on spending $300 on a phone, I doubt a dumbphone will do the needs.
(Sorry for my bad English)
What I meant was that you can't really find dumbphones any more, in less they are $20 or something... Anyway, the whole idea is that I think the battery should hold longer than 24h, with wifi and minimal usage. With this phone, you can barely achieve that...
If the initiator of this thread wants more battery life, he should reconsider.
Hi guys,
So bought the Verizon Galaxy S5 for my fiance when it came out. Over the past week or two it's been dying rather quickly. Attached are some battery metrics I took from the screenshot. Do they look normal to you?
It looks like the android system is using up all the battery, but I'm not sure why this is.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Mike
It seems your Gps is on.
Keep GPS off.(Location).
This will help you to boost your battery.
this is perfectly normal. having 35% after 8 hours is actually average

You have unrealistic expectations. Using two thirds of the charge over 8 hours is not atypical. Why do you believe otherwise?
You can do various tweaks to gain a few hours e.g. GPS always off, short screen time outs, perhaps install some inverted apps (black themed screens use considerably less battery), et cetera. Or perhaps invest in an extended capacity battery. Or some people feel that it is easier to carry a spare battery.
.
.
What is everyone on in this thread?! 8 hours is nothing and unless you have been gaming non stop, which seems doubtful considering the display being almost non existent in the log, you should normally get at least 24-48 hours with about 3-5 hours of screen time. Something is wrong with either the software or the battery, but normally it is a software problem, BBS is your friend.

You sir, are a troll until proven otherwise. You are simply wrong, perhaps the reason why all of the other posts disagree with you. 24+ hours is not normal. The only way anyone would get that kind of duration is to have the phone off most of the time and most people do not use their phones that way. The OP had 8.6 hours at @ 32% remaining, a wholly normal result.
Certainly battery life varies widely depending on GPS & wifi use, gaming, screen time and so forth. But to claim that 24+ hours is normal is egregiously specious.

Wow wow, hold your horses, you are being serious? It is completely normal for me with my 900F model and a lot of people are getting it. 24/48 hours is my typical battery with phone on (the battery obviously doesn't count power off, so that is a moot point anyways). I happened to make a SS last month and will share it for you to see and I didn't even try to save the battery, I never do since the battery of the S5 is so exceptional!
I agree, it does not look normal. Something is probably holding wake locks or working the CPU. There's a lot of badly written apps out there, including some of the most popular. I've seen FB messenger and Slacker radio apps use 2-6% CPU in the background for no good reason, consistently until force closed.
In any case, try to install an app that can read wakelocks, like BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. Also check the tasks screen in Android Tuner to see if something is keeping the CPU busy in the background for no reason.
Once you figure out the abnormal drain, try installing my app, LeanDroid to extend your battery even more

You will mainly get three different answers.
People on stock: It sucks
People on XtreStoLite: It's insane
Some lucky people on stock (rooted etc): It's just fine.
I need root on 511 without tripping Knox and xposed, so greenify and amplify can work properly then battery life will be good. Atm it's okay is.

Depends if you want to trip knox or not.
Stock: 2-5 hours SOT (Depending on brightness, features and apps and if you're on mobile data or wifi.
Stock, rooted: Will increase your mobile data SOT by a few hours by following some of the guides that explains how to disable services and such.
XtreStoLite rom: At least 4-5 hours SOT on mobile data (my screen brightness is on auto and when i'm on mobile data i'm probably outside, so the brightness is medium to high.) and up to 8 hours+ SOT on wifi (with low brightness of course). XtreStoLite makes this phone having some of the best battery life there is available on the market right now.

On stock, some people complains about lag. I never witnessed it tho. On XtreStoLite rom there is no lag at all. The rom is debloated. No heat under normal (sometimes heavy use).
It got memory management bug, so you can only have 3-4 apps in the background before it begins closing it. There is (again) a fix for that on XtreStoLite, but will probably get fixed in a month or two (when their new phone arrives).
But really, I never had problems with the memory bug. It's if you open a page in chrome, open 4 other apps and then Chrome again, the page just refresh. On 4g connection you barely notice it.
Good discussion. However, needs to continue on the pre-existing thread for that purpose.Battery Life Discussion Here
I am on the latest 7.0 beta, T-Mobile version, I am getting pretty frustrated. I only get ~2 hours of on screen time. Right now at 30% and Android System has used 1350 mAh and CPU total is close to 5 hours.
Attached some pictures from yesterday and basically the same exact thing - maybe one of the packages listed is killing the battery?
I know there are a lot of posts about this issue but nothing that I've found useful unfortunatlely.

Been thinking about doing that, but not sure why it got really bad all of a sudden. I could get 3 to 4 hours before.
I think I'll wait until the official release is out and then do a reset - hopefully it comes out soon.

I am getting pretty fed up. Thought the new updates would make it better but no go for me.
If only you got root, I strongly recommend using Myandroidtools/disable service. Samsung roms sucks pretty bad, I have never ever experienced something like battery drain on other phones. Since I disabled 80+ Google Services and some samsung bloat, android system takes about 2-4% drain after a whole day. I am using Renovate on nougat.
Looks like a lot of you are very unlucky. My battery life is superb! At the end of the day I still have ~35% battery remaining. I recharge every night regardless of how much battery I have left, so it does me just fine

I would strongly advise to stay away from any of those 'fancy' package disablers.
They do no good and often deteriate things. I have on average over 8hours SOT and never used disablers.
Most Samsung apps don't put any drain on the battery. It's things like Facebook etc that hog resources.
Yeah, if only i got Facebook apps installed. I have fully working locations, notifications and other stuff - most of services I disabled are feedbacks, silent loggers and stuff I dont need or use. Only corrupted app is Gmail - which I don't use.
I got sync switched on, lots of calls, auto brightness, voice assistant and usually get 5 hours SOT during my usage which isn't bad at all.
So not sure what did it, but I installed Greenify and also changed from 1080p to 1440p and I get about 3ish hours on screen time. Still terrible but will do for now.
My phone also feels faster after changing resolution back to 1440p. So weird.

I really don't think you're right as that's not my experience either. I cited the article because usually the tech websites have some experience - my anecdotal data, or yours, doesn't carry much weight.
As posted before, my screen time has increased and keeps going up. Got near 4 hours of on screen time today. Greenify must have killed a process that was putting the CPU on overdrive and which showed up under Android System. I shouldn't have to take the time to find fixes however since Samsung and the Doze feature should be doing this already.
I appreciate your advice, no need to get upset we're just having a discussion...

I don't really see a discussion in the fact that AOD uses a lot of battery if you keep it on all day, it's pretty much guaranteed that AOD is the main culprit. And your own experience with your phone and its settings is worth a lot more than the experiences from some tech website. Everyone's phone/settings is different.

You should check your deep sleep percentagebif you are having a battery problems. Cause most of the time the s10 exynos does enter into deep sleep even while idle.
I easily get 10h+ Sot at 1440p.
I remember reading that running at fullhd+ will only give you about 30 min of extra battery life a day, I think the health of your eyes is more important, higher definition reduces eye strain and it definitely looks way better when gaming.
10 hours?
How do you manage that? I thought I was doing good with 7 or so. I have it WQHD with brightness set to just below the warning mark.
Anyways, the way I see it, if the resolution is there, I'm gonna use it. No point in having it not to use it. As long as my battery gets me through the day, which it has done easily since I got, with heavy use as well, then I'm happy.

I have very strict app management habits and whenever anything goes out of order it gets uninstalled forever.
The "worst" screenshot was taken at 17%, half the time on LTE and max brightness, the best was during a more relaxing day and ended at 3%
I'm going another full battery run today, 2h Sot and still at 88% battery so far, this time I uninstalled Nova and Sesame to see how OneUI Home stands against them.

Would you like an in depth guide on how to optimise this phone for battery life?
I was thinking about making one completely dedicated to this device, no generic android crap, there is a lot of potential.

Yeah I think you would get a lot of people interested in something like this. I am happy to get 5-7 hours of SOT, would be awesome to get even more. I have all my location settings turned off for every app basically so dunno where else to start really after that

I'll get working on that by end of this week
There's negligable battery difference between FHD and WQHD+. But there is definitely a difference in visual quality.You should definitely use WQHD+.
As for those who are saying they get x hours SOT. You can't compare with others. It's different for everyone. It depends on a massive number of factors. How good a cell reception you get, brightness, what you have enabled (wifi, bluetooth, NFC etc), AOD, what apps are running, what apps you use, what you use the phone for during the day, was the phone used for long period or intermittent use.
It's silly to ry to compare or match others. Just be happy with your own use, otherwise you'll spend more time trying to get more SOT, than you will just actually using and enjoying the phone.

That is very true [emoji106] but having a guide for a better battery would still be helpful x

Does wifi affects battery? is it better to use 4G or Wifi for longer battery lifetime?

I guess that depends on the quality of your connection. If your reception is not very good at home your radio might be really busy getting a proper signal.

Wifi will use less battery if both have a good signal, to answer your question
