Have you installed a ROM or a different Kernel?

So far my record was 9 days, yup, you hear it right 9 days. It was only sms and call use but still I haven't heard about such thing from anyone with any device (ofc android). But mostly I'm charging it once per 5-7 days since I bought nexus 7 2013, so as for anyone who are looking for for durable android phone - jackpot and bullseye in one time.
Oh, don't believe ? Here are screens made just seconds ago -
Click to view 3 screenshots from standby time, on screen and overall.
It says - 9 days left / 3d 19h standby time (last charged) / 42m on screen time. Also there was few calls, few sms and quick web browsing (most of screen on time). So... maybe 10 days these time ?

My Lg g pad supports almost a week with 15-16 of sot

You'll never get rid of it? 5 yrs from now? Yeah, I had a moto g and battery life was good. But I'll take performance and size (nexus 6) over battery life any day. But hey, that's just me.
I get a phone to have fun with, not to see how long I can go without charging.

Quite logical

How did you get that battery length? Any external kernel or what?

I've got a OPO but the Moto G is a still a great device to mess around with. but like you say I'd rather have performance over battery (up to a point that is).

Completely stock, just root that I'm using for greenify, that's all. Now it's almost 8 days, 35% still left.

Still not as good as the nokia

I know the Moto G is good, but you guys must never touch your phones.

Let it run to 0% battery and then see if you're singing the same tune
From my observations there is about a 1 in 5 chance of the eMMC being irreparably* bricked if the battery drops to the point of forced shutdown on any Moto G model (2013 or 2014)
*complete partition table loss, requiring the MBM-CI files which are still not available for Lollipop

There is simply a design flaw, discharge your device a few times and see for yourself.

I used to be satisfied with battery life of my XT1032 when I was on 4.4.4 ... Upgrade to 5.0.2 made it quite worse. :/

Nexus 4 vs Optimus G?

Greetings!
I was recently offered to trade my Nexus 4 in for an Optimus G.
I really like the Nexus 4, but I must admit that 13mp camera along with 4G is somewhat of a pull factor too!
I always root my phones and throw AOKP or MIUI or so on them, but the Optimus G has a locked bootloader so I'm afraid that development will have a slow start, so I am uncertain about buying in on the phone early :/ I'm also afraid that 4G will kill my battery, but my Nexus 4 already has lots of deep sleep problems which is very annoying, also been repaired two times and I'm looking at a third one soon too :/
What do you guys think? Obviously you will recommend the Nexus 4, but maybe we can have a discussion going!
but my Nexus 4 already has lots of deep sleep problems

What Rom and kernel are you using? I'm on AoKP build 3 and bricked kernel. Doesn't even deep sleep 50% of the time, luckily my kernel runs at 192mhz as lowest, so I can manage, still very annoying though

check your apps for culprits. it deepsleeps fine. i have 77% right now. thats the downside of letting apps do what they want - they will.

Totally stock. Never rooted and don't plan to. And seriously, even my colleagues (who have had many Android devices) agreed that this has got, by far, the best Deep Sleep S**t.
It lost 2% a few days back when I slept for 8.5 hours. For around 5 to 6 hours, it normally drains just 1%.
Developments for the G is pretty slow. The phone has been out for quite a few months and no great software has been introduced. It's sad. If I had to choose between the two, I would just no and just keep my N4. The G and the N4 are pretty much blood brothers. They're essentially the same except a few goodies. I think you should stick with the N4.

N4 VS OG
So Here I am.. In a one year old thread... Asking the same million question ''Nexus 4 vs Optimus G''
I'm currently with a moto AHD and hopefully I'll get a new phone soon. I would go for the N4 without a doubt but somehow.. In my country the OG is cheaper than the N4. As people said the problem with the OG is the traffic on their forums... It's pretty dead. I have no problem with locked bootloaders because I'm used to it with my moto device.
Should I wait a bit more to get more money for the nexus 4? or just go for the OG?

Battery life feedback

I saw quite a few topics comparing consumption with various kernels, setups, roms. But most of those are done by one person using one phone with different setup. Even if there would be variety of people, the information would be lost in discussions. Here I want you to post structured informations about your achievements in battery usage. Please post in following structure:
1. Battery life hours;
2. Screen on time hours;
3. Battery type;
4. Rom
5. Kernel
6. Screenshots to prove 1 and 3
7. Special notes, like consumption in offscreen time, and during screen on or some special undervolting or anything else.
My desire to see world records in battery life discipline.
My personal records were done on gingerbread rom with don't remember what kernel and conditions but believe it was tegracs kernel.

For a reliable test all must have the same apps and power mangment values.

I can boast!
I just hit a new record. I'm on the Bell (Canadian Phone Company) official 4.1.2. I use greenify to hibernate things like facebook and keep them from running the background. I used titanium backup to disable a host of system programs that I don't use/need. I also have setCPU running at its default settings.
Last week I made it to 7d 54m 24s
I forgot to look how much screen time I used but it made up 25% of my power consumption. When I'm at home or at work I have access to a PC so I only use the phone for texting, checking the odd email etc....
If I'm out of town I might get 2 days on it. My average is 4-5 days. I must not have used it too much last week.
I also have an Anker battery in it (as my originals charge time started to decrease). It seems to do rather well (maybe even slightly better than the stock battery).

I didn't save the main screen, I think those shots were made about 3 years ago. And you just have to trust me that that 11 hours were true. BUT there's one trick here. My phone had an issue at that time, it couldn't go to sleep. I put it by my bed and closed flipper over the screen. When I woke up, I picked up the phone and noticed that screen was just a little darkened but not off. I looked at screen time and was shocked, made that screen... The rest you know. so, you right that this result is out of range.

I went 7 days before I had to charge it. There's no way that was 7 days of screen time.. lol. Maybe a few hours of screen time in there. If you click on the thumbnail it will go to imagebam and make it bigger.
I never thought to screenshot the detailed screen page where it says the hours you used. I just took that snapshot because I'd never made it to 7 days before (even though I rode it all the way down to 1% power). I also use an Anker battery in it, which seems to give it a smidge more power (even though the physical battery is the same size as a stock battery).

I used to do pretty good on stock ICS 4.0.4 roms. They never released 4.0.4 in Canada so I think I used a rom from the UK. It was really light on battery consumption. Way better than gingerbread, 4.0.3 or 4.1.2.
The only downside was wiping the phone with 4.0.4 using certain programs would brick the phone so I think alot of people avoid the 4.0.4 roms (and probably why the didn't finish spreading globally).
Wow.
You guys have some good results there.
But 7 days I can hardly believe.
Cheers.

honestly, if they just put a 4000mAh in it, I wouldn't mind if it weren't replaceable. And I seriously doubt with the kind of perfomance/specs its gonna have, anyone would really mind the extra thickness either. Not to mention heft (cough, durability).
It's not how big the tank K is but how much less is sippped from the tank
Nexus 5 so battery is 75% if G2
But battery life on nexus 5 is far less than 75 percentage of G2 albeit having a smaller screen

it looks promising but i would take this article with a grain of salt. I want to see a article or a video with alot of apps and features turned on this reviewed. i believe that would be a real battery review
Still, LG hasn't outed official talk, standby, browsing and video playback times yet, so we can only guesstimate the battery life of the G3 to be pretty good, based on some tangential proof from improvised battery tests that are popping up.
First off, a prototype version of the phone has been put through its paces, and the phone lasted six and a half hours of video playback on a charge, as you can see from the screens on the right. That might seem average, but the test has been done at the screen's*maximumbrightness, which*LG officially pegs at 430 nits, instead of the usual 150 or 200 nits, so the result from standardized routines like our own battery test, are likely to be much higher.*
Also so the test was at basically 2× brightness of a normal screen. ... so at lower brightness it should do very well

I never said 3000mAh isnt enough, but 3500mAh would last longer and most people dont run around with an extra battery in their pocket even if they can. Saving 1-2 hours of work to replace a battery like in the G2 after 1-3 years isnt really that much.

Of course they did, but they are catering to the people who are stuck in the old days when smartphones didnt last as long and batteries died much faster. Sure batteries degrade still, but if they hold longer between the charges and with more improvment it would be years between needing to change it. LG did the right thing with G2, but people arent smart enough to see it, so LG had to go back to the old ways to win the heart of the stuck.

Okay, what I'm saying is if they have thought then it'll make no sense for that regard. If so, then the 3000mAh batt along with their Optimization makes it enough to have that battery.
Like for example, there are different desktop power supplies but some of them are different quality. A 3 star 1200w quality desktop supply could be equivalent to a 5 star 800w quality supply.

Hi I don't know if this would be of any help but
I had the xt1032 which drained really fast. I tried using different chargers and calibration but it was of no use. When I got to Motorola they said that my battery's total hold capacity was only 20%. They changed my battery and I bought a Motorola charger from them. Since then I have no problems in charging my device and it gives me a pretty good battery life

They changed my battery and I bought a Motorola charger from them. Since then I have no problems in charging my device and it gives me a pretty good battery life

Wow, 20% is very low, was your boot loader unlocked when you did this as mine currently is and I think it would be an issue. Thanks

I will try and wait to test out android L as maybe it is 4.4.4 as other people have noted that there battery life has decreased with 4.4.4 so maybe it is a Kitkat problem, i really do hope that Android L helps with the battery, thanks a lot <3
Subscribed. Awesome.
Please press THANKS if interesting. Sent from Moto G-od via xt1033 free Android app.
Best way to save battery is to install Disable Service and to shutdown location from google play services and some sync services.If you dont know how to use it search google.It also saves u ram.
Most of these were already done. The best change are ART upgrade & disable animation for me.
Only confusion is wifi optimization uncheck. It actuals says reduce battery usage but @op recommends otherwise.
@op what is the best cover/case to protect front screen in your opinion.

I am using the original grip shell which i bought for £4 however it is very loose and it creeks a lot, i would recommend an otterbox which is expensive or a chinese designed otterbox that is cheaper, for example there is one black one which is £5 and it is like an otterbox

Just overwhelmed on my n6 stock 8 SOT

Edit: nothing to see here, only 6:17 hours, with only 2% remaining. For some reason the screen jumped on draining battery i guess.
Hello there! I was just on my way to home and i have some minutes to write about what is being a VERY nice surprise: just 4 hours on SOT and 48% battery yet.
My personal recipe, just begun on a lot of testing custom roms that will only deliver at most like 4 hours on sot, and maybe less.
So, here's my test:
Stock MM rom - decrypted
Pico gapps
Normal apps like Facebook, ig, lnkdn, wsap, here maps and others.
I know, and i'm aware about the security issues, and i was thinking on a replacement phone, yhe hell that i'm going to let down my beloved MOTO N6; i whish that this phone would have a 4000mah battery.
Best phone ever.

I can't upload pics, but i will upload as soon as possible on a desktop, and coz i don't have a tapaccount, but just to make things clear i been testing and using a lot of custom roms, included these ones that claim bug-free oses.
Well, i would whish a clean MIUI launcher and i would be done with this.

I have been looking at the motorola e4 plus, the battery is 5000mah, would it have the same size to modify the N6?

I have a Moto E4 plus that has a broken screen. I'm going to yank the battery out of it and see if it fits in the Nexus 6.
Curious, if you're running stock MM, why flash Pico Gapps?

Decrypted? GAPPs on stock?

For debloating purposes, like taking out unwanted apps from google.

Yeah, flashed through NRT, and then flashed picogapps in recovery.
To clarify things:
the phone has stock android mm mob31t (flashed with NRT for unencrypted data partition)
Lastest recovery teamwin 3.0.3
Picogapps.
Some minor tweaks in settings, like enabled dev, for sppeding animations. Gps on device only.

I don't like the ui, so that's why I'm sticking to MM.
Did you make any changes, apart from the stock nougat?

Not that much, he's rooted and encryption disabled.
I turned off every feature I don't use. I activate a feature, only when I need it, just as long as I need it.
(BT always off, Wifi when needed, data always on, NFC always disabled, Ambiant display disabled, greenified everything, set a true black theme with black wallpaper, no gesture, LED activated)
You can earn maybe one or two SOT hours more, but you have to lower the resolution/density. (That increase perfomances too)
Edit: You can reach 10h SOT without lowering screen density... (while calling/texting/browsing/networking/youtubing)

Did not try Paranoid, but I read that it isn't stable at that time.
PN is stable, have nice features and is well updated. Good perfs and battery life.
In my case, I don't want to switch to another because PN works fine. And I learned to keep working things instead of switching and take the risk that it won't work anymore..

Good to know, how i can apply a dark teme? I'm on stock kernel, in some moment i did test the lowerin resolution too but i was unable to check any difference, i will check that again.
I did test the pure nexus too, and never reached the 5 hours on SOT, plus a little buggy for that time, (two months ago)

If I am right, layers on MM can be changed with RRO Layers, which is now deprecated.
You'll have to download the RRO LAyer manager and then somme layers of your choice.
If you wanna lower screen density, the better choice is 720p because of the homothetic proportions. (otherwise, some icons may be bugged)
I forgot, I try to avoid heavy apps. I did not install facebook and created a shortcut to fbchrome's page. Same thing with Tweeter.
GPS also disabled if not needed

Please let us know. I'm installing a droid turbo battery (3900mah) in my Nexus 6 soon. The zerolemon note 4 I had broke that phone isn't any where near as smooth as the Nexus but I still miss the insane battery life. I'm willing to buy an e4 plus if the battery connects. The Nexus 6 was my girlfriend's old phone she upgraded to the s8 plus.

I'll see if it fits this weekend. I'm currently using a Moto Z Play and the battery life is off the charts.
I have about 4-5 Nexus 6's that I can tinker with and about 2-3 Droid Turbo's that have good batteries also

It will fit with some modifications. Check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/battery-mod-t3536162 . Ordered a new Nexus 6 mid housing on Amazon for 10$ just in case I mess mine up. I'll post some pics this weekend. My battery life now is terrible.. Figured if I need to replace the battery anyways might as well upgrade it.
So I did the Droid turbo battery swap. So far so good battery life seems way better than the stock dying battery. I did have to modify the frame some to make the battery and back cover fit.Wireless charging and everything works.
