Post your battery results and discuss how to make it better :good:
Let's hope Kirin 950 is efficient because with the right setup, Mate 7 does well and I see no reason why Mate 8 should be much different.
See how Mate 8 owners compare, once the phone is in your hands and rooted etc.
I run LeanDroid and Kinscreen, phone is rooted and Google de-bloated.
Here's where my Mate 7 was at this morning.
the biggest worry is as always the modem...they drain a lot battery.
not many people think about it since it is "hidden" statistics

People with extreme long battery stats are usually those who use wifi only..
normal usage include 4G. I use no wifi only 4G.
The best apps for battery life?
Running on lenovo,Huawei mate 8,Note5, S6
Epic battery for me yesterday, first full charge, performance mode on all day, 19 hours up time with 6hrs39mins screen-on and 11% remaining when I turned in for bed. Looks like 7 hours screen-on over a full day should be doable, in a straight line I would think 8hrs+.
Similar again yesterday, 18hrs on battery, 5hrs 20mins screen-on, 23% battery remaining.

Your battery life does not say us anything unless you are using wifi or 3g/4g ?
you would see that in the mate 7 thread people using only wifi would get very superior screen on time while we normal people using 4G
would get more realistic battery life around 4-5 hours.
I hope you do not use wifi since that consume a lot less power as you might understand, and the modem
is a "hidden" battery drainer which is not shown in battery statistics ( I wish it did )
Mostly on WiFi, but if I contrast with other devices we can still make a meaningful comment.
My Note 4, in the same use, would not reach 4 hours of screen-on time. Neither would the 6P that I had. The P8Max would hit around 5 hrs.
So far the battery life here is best I have experienced on Android.

IF you have been using mostly wifi I would be little bit worried about the battery life when using 4G for data.
Also the software is still in early phase ..so big improvements can be made still in most areas.. battery life and camera etc.
battery life also depends on your usage pattern concerning apps. independent from wifi vs 3g/4g ull get far less SOT if u use cpu/gpu intensive apps all the time. so a direct comparison with other devices from the same user with identical usage patterns makes sense

Mind posting more screen shot of battery life of your usage? I am very interested. Battery chart + sot. Thanks.
I'm sure with time and people getting their hands on the phone, battery life will only improve. I avg 1d 4-5 hours with 6-8hr sot on my note 3 with 4g but the phone has been out for a long time
The Note 3 had pretty good battery life, from memory when I moved to Note 4 there was a reasonable regression there.
After a couple of charges and latest firmware update my battery life has been stunning. Yesterday/day before yesterday I went 36hrs on a single charge and had 6.5hrs screen-on. That's totally unprecedented on Android for me. Today I am down to 60% and have had 4.5hrs screen-on. For me at least is a new high bar for Android battery life.

How about a tutorial on how to root the phone?

Yesterday's battery report - 18hrs on battery, 7hrs20mins SOT, 17% remaining (another hour and a half or so or SOT for general use I would think). Indoors, WiFi, low screen brightness etc, but nevertheless destroying every other Android I've ever owned. Spent 50mins playing some emulator games towards the end - Wipeout Pure (PPSSPP) and Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (Gamecube game in dev build of Dolphin). They got the phone warm and were, as you would expect, much heavier drains than browsing and so forth (probably more so than higher end native Android games as they stretch the CPU as well). For those interested Path of Radiance played seemingly perfect for the first level proper of gameplay, overclock set to 0.2.
wait, ure able to overclock the cpu already? nice

No, sorry if that was unclear, that's a change in Dolphin itself. I'm a bit in shock at how well Fire Emblem is running on a phone.
hello,
i ordered a moto x play two days ago and i will get my device today or tomorrow. Now i am not sure if i should upgrade to marshmallow. Regarding to some posts here the battery life seems to suffer from the update. Is this true? Do you have the same battery life with 6.0 as with 5.1.1 ? For me battery life is kind of crucial. I chose the moto because of the good battery.
I'd love to know your opinion.
Thanx in advance.
Battery life seemed a bit lower on 6.0 than on Lollipop for a few days. Now, it's stabilized, and I'd say it's almost as good

No the battery performance hasn't gone down but has instead remained same or been better now.

It's been great for me. 7-8 hrs sot with stock kernel and now on track to get 10 with Squid kernel.
I get 10+ hours SOT . With stock mm.. dual sim and mobile data.
I usually play around with the autostarts app and titanium backup. I guess, i can root my device and i will then be able to optimize the phone i like with these tools.
Thanx for your answers. I still would like to get some more votes.
regards.
I think the only difference MM can make will be due to optimizing certain apps. Its sucha shame that google play services cant be optimized. I am finding its better than LP.
Offtopic - I had a S5 (g900h) with LP 5.0.1 stock and samsung had this optimization option which lead to an awesome battery life. This is why I believe that can be the only thing which can make it better
It depends on your usecase. If you are constantly on the phone, they won't differ much. If your phone is screen-off most of the time, Marshmallows Doze mechanism can save you a ton of battery life (assumping you jumpstart it with Naptime or similar). It could possibly be matched or even overcome if you REALLY fine tune a lollipop setup with Amplify, but from a technical standpoint doze is far better, because the OS controls when the device wakes up, not the apps themselves. Also, the most recent (best?) kernels will only be for MM.
Battery drains during standby mode. Overnight battery drops upto 3-5 % is it normal? I am on 5.1.1

2-3-4% is expected for 10 hour . see if location and wifi are turned on in advanced setting. it depends on the apps you are running. post screenshot.

That's absolutely great.
It means if 4 percent decreases in 8 hours it's about 1 percent in 2 hours. Me too has same result although in between 8 hours I took a 3 minute call and my alarm rung.

Agreed, also would be good if those who tried it can post a comparison about how much was lasting battery with 5.1.1 and now with 6.0 on same scenario (I mean apps, settings, etc)
befor update i think battery life getting better ,but after one night and a some program ,it's show only 22 hours battery life ,,,, hey sami what you think about batterylife .?
i totaly disapoint...
Installed French XEF yesterday at 15:00 (03:00PM)
Popped it off the charger at 16:00
Now : 08:00, the next day
43% charge
16h 8m on battery
1h 44m SOT
Maybe 2% loss overnight.
Disabled Google Apps and Samsung bloat via Settings => Applications
WIFI : ON
Location : GPS, WIFI and Mobile
Brightness : 25% + Auto
Turned OFF LTE : Only 3G speeds in my area
Action Launcher 3
There's not so much to do fellaz. We've got a 2500 mah battery giving juice to a monster cpu and monster useless display. These things swallow harder than sasha grey.

System calculate time left on battery based on your usage in 7 days, if you use it a lot then system will shows that you have short life of battery, if you use moderate or low, then you would see longer time of usage. So You should check your real time on battery, when you use in similar way than in on 5.1.1 and then compare to 6.0.1. For me at the moment i see much better battery performance.
Ops wrong thread

Heavy use. 40-70% brightness about 1h more SOT than Lollipop.
The battery life for now is not so impressive, not more than L
One more thing to notice is that the battery fares better in wifi. But suffers a lot in Lte or in 3g mobile network. I get no more than 3 hrs of SOT when connected to mobile network in lollipop, but 4.5 to 5 hrs in wifi. Could anyone manage to get better battery in mobile network in MM?? The main battery suckers in network are google services and the annoying mobile radio active bug in lollipop. Are these two things fixed in MM touchwiz rom?? Confirmation is appreciated..

The doze feat is deff working. With WiFi on all night and apps open I lost 2%.
no sight of the R.A.B but some say they are exparience it.
How do you guys check whether Doze is actually working or not? Is there any specific part of the settings where I could check it?
Thanks!
By now your phone battery would have deteriorated for those who have had it a while that whatever gain MM has would be negligible.
For those of us who got it at release day, battery health would be about ~95%.

Indeed, but no one is asking for Xperia Z3 battery either, where I could get around 8+ hours SOT with Amplify, Greenify and a few other tweaks. I no we can't let the battery drop slower when using the phone, but the main complain is the standby drop, which would give us more SOT if we could lower it. Really, my phone should not use power on anything else than be ready for calls, text and else the apps I set it to, like Snapchat, Messenger and so on when in standby and you can get this with Amplify and Greenify. On 5.1.1 I managed to get around 0-1% drop over 8 hours of sleep, so as I got more standby time, I would eventually get more SOT too, which made the phone still last a day.
The problem now with the high standby drain is that you can't really feel a difference (might be kind of ironically here) between using the phone or having it in standby as it still drains hell a lot.
nothing has changed in marshmallow since 5.1.1 . I am using for 2 days. the battery consumption is the same as lollipop. (i did clean flash of france mm)
I've noticed App Optimisation is using 7% of my battery.... Cell standby 3% and Android system 8% with screen nicking 50%.
Seems good, but i'm disabling App Optimisation and comparing over the next few days.
Haven't experienced any drain from mobile or radio signals or any other bugs.

Hi.
My battery life has been very crappy lately.
Ive rooted. Flashed Audax. Installed amplify and xposed and used the glassfish governor as well as naptime. The standby hours raised from 9h to 12h but sot is still the same. 1h 30 mins !!
All i use is whatsapp and facebook and gmail!!
Is there's any hope? I love my phone but the battery is really making me think of ditching it.
Me too i barely get 2 hours got only 3 in miui

I do not want to disappoint you but gsmarenas review of the nougat update for the s7 proved that the battery is worse thab marshmallow and the whole resolution thing didnt cut anything.
So...didn't like to resort to this but Greenify is really good on this phone.
I still get more than 3h SOT with at least 12hr stand by time.
My phone is 13 months old.
Could it just be you need a battery replacement?
Guys please post you battery life and brenchmerks on nougut and marshmallow so that we can decide which one is better. Some people experiencing poor battery life in nougut. Share screenshot of battery stat and gsm battery monitor and other battery monitoring app. And sorry for bad english.
My rom is stock nougut. Cell standby 2 percent. Phone idle 3 percent. Screen 14 percent.
Screenshot is bellow.
No screenshot on my side but for me the Nougat update has revived the phone: much better battery life (+1h SOT I would say), run cooler, less stutters, smooth scrolling in chrome, fast wifi connection and all the nougat advantages. I haven't seen bugs apart from the system UI tuner that resets itself.
I am running 100% stock, took the OTA when it was offered to me and made a factory reset.

I'll try to remember next week, I switch back to my S7 for the weekend.
Getting almost 4 hours of SOT on my 8 months old device.
My device is 14 months old and I use dual sim cards, mostly I'm on WiFi.
I get 1.5-3 hours of SOT generally. I generally have to charge my phone 3 times a day.
Stock nougat
Only using WiFi
Mostly browsing and videos on YouTube.
Getting 4 to 4.5 hours of sot.
I manage to have 5 hours SoT with android stock funcionalitys only. I am doing test but i maybe i will create a teadh latter to explain how to get more SoT.

I have 2hr SOT. VERY POOR. NEED TO CHARGE 3 TIMES A DAY
Here are my screenshots. I was mostly on WiFi during the day, did a lot of reading/browsing, a little YouTube, and gamed for around 30 minutes. Before I would have needed to recharge mid-afternoon and was getting 2:30/3h max SOT a day.
I'm extremely pleased with the update.
After doing a heavy tweaking of the phone without root i managed to get more than 5 hour of SoT. After that i was getting an unaceptable 3hs SoT.
