Guys, please post your battery life screenshots. Mine is fine :laugh:
Dont have screenies but my SOT is 3 and half hours . Pac rom Lp 5.1 Caf D802 .
There is already a thread about battery life where users posted their screens...anyway your screen in the first post is useless to determine battery life. Dont mean to be rude but it really is useless, because if you barely use the phone, you can reach 120h+ easily. You have to give more information. Even the screen on time is not accurate to determine battery life, because there are some users who use their phone like an e-reader and get massive amounts of screen time that are impossible to reproduce when using the phone on normal conditions. Not everyone uses the phone in the same conditions. A good way to determine it would be the screenshot like you gave, another one with the apps showing consumption, another one with screen time and a screenshot of cpu spy or any other cpu measuring app(because this will make it easy to spot how those e-readers get so much sot, usually their lowest cpu frequency is used a LOT, unlike normal users)
always 6-6.5 hours sot. can hold up to 3 days or more with light usage using Cloudyg2 2.2.
Fyi, cloudy g2 is not the reason you get 6h+ sot... unless you're significantly reducing performance and/or screen brightness. No rom can beat physics(and logic).
I average 5h sot over 2-3 days with wifi/data/sync/auto brightness on. Can easily go a week in standby if check it a few times a day. Running stock sprint lollipop with latest zvi update.
Well that's depressing....I have a battery life of maybe 4 hours with 1 to 1,5 hours of screen on time........I made a post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/battery-messed-t3297770.
If anybody has a suggestion I would be more than pleased. Been using the phone for +2 years. And looking at the screenshots of yours, I hadn't had that in a loooongloooong time
At full charge, plugging in earphone and listening to music or videos on youtube , i get like 3 and half and sometimes 4 hours depending on the rom. Screen is set to the lowest. I dont install much app, especially which connects to the internet silently in the backgroud. Disable location services and all too helps. At idle with wifi on and phone radio is 90% or more good signals, it lasts for about 3 or 2 and half days (depends on kernel too) . What rom you using @deereper ??Have you tried reducing google service battery drain via script and all ?
deereper, and anyone else getting under 3h sot, your battery is shot. I had similar battery performance until I replaced it. In my experience custom roms/kernels may make a very minor difference but have much worse performance and stability.
Yeah, I ordered a new battery.
I really don't want to but a new phone just for the battery.
And yes, with those battery stats it doesn't matter if you run stock or aosp
It's D802 btw, auto brightness 0%, wifi data gps always on. SOT 6-6.5hours only with continuous usage, if add in standby SOT average around 4.5-5 hours

This poll is to help everyone better understand what the average screen-on-time for Nexus 5X users is.
Please vote in the poll and share what you were doing with your device and what sort of settings you have changed (disabling system apps, Greenify, etc).
I don't mess with any battery saver type apps and I get 4 hours SOT consistently. The only time I don't is when I end up having 3-4 hours of phone calls.

I voted 2-3 only because I don't use my phone that much
Giving this a bump because I think it's very useful. Hope more people vote.

Lets just say if I can get 2hrs I'll be happier.... I usually get 1-1.5hrs and can get 2.5 if I disable bluetooth, location, and have adaptive brightness off with the display at 0 brightness. My phone is a unicorn of bad battery life
I've been getting 2-3 only and I am NOT very happy with this. I'm really considering strongly to send it back. I don't want the stress of my Phone not lasting me all day with the usage that I want. I don't want to need to live tethered to a charger.
I voted 4-5, but am a light user compared to most people I know, so that's well over a 24 hour period. I do believe if I used the phone as much as I used too, and most people I know do, I'd easily be close to 6.

Settings & apps usually have far less to do with SOT than use habits. If you want huge SOT, charge your phone to 100% and read a Kindle book in the dark with screen brightness turned down as far as possible until the battery dies. If you want lousy SOT, leave the phone off most of the day, then play a graphics-intensive FPS in full sunlight for an hour. An app syncing in the background every 15 minutes isn't going to have nearly as much impact.
My first day with the Nexus 5X game me just shy of four hours of SoT. 3 hours and 40 minutes to be exact. Mostly reddit and texting.
I'm not voting because of course the battery completely depends on the that day's specific usage and there's no options for multiple votes.
But I can tell you that my results so far have been 3 hours SoT with my heaviest usage (low signal mobile data with some gaming thrown in) and 5-6 hours SoT on more normal days (good signal, WiFi). A noticeable improvement over the N5 in as I do not have to disable software features to obtain these results.
I'll be posting more results in the Battery Life thread over time but you can see my first shared results below (50% brightness, all software features enabled except Locations).

The poll is used to record your average SoT throughout multiple days. So let's say I got 4 hours on day and 2 hours the next then my average would be 3.
It looks like the average SOT is just under 4 hours but there is a surprisingly large variance. Most people are near the average but the results are more spread out than I would have guessed. I wonder why there is such a big difference in the battery life people experience.

After a week of me owning this phone, I average a little over 3 hours of SOT but I like running my phone screens at near full brightness. This screen gets much, much brighter than my M9 so I usually run the screen at like 80% brightness and adaptive brightness.
However, I recently discovered that SMS, MMS and calls still work when Wifi is enabled during airplane mode. So hopefully this has a positive effect on battery life when I'm home, at a friend's house, or at work (90% of my life).

Which points out the fact that the only measurement this poll will accurately show is how long most people look at their screens before they need to charge. It really can't be used to draw any realistic conclusions about 5X battery life. I answered 4-5h based on my experience over the last week, and this level of usage always required daily charging. But over the last 2 days, I made a point to try to reduce SOT and right now it's looking like I'll go nearly 3 days before I need a charge.
For me the phone will last alright when I don't touch it (with the exception of the occasional weak cell area) but as soon as I turn the screen on, the battery drops really fast. Ive been averaging about 2 hrs SOT which is disappointing because that's about the same as my n5.
After a week I'm averaging around two to three hours. Doze seems to not be working correctly. Oh well.
With N DP3, 5-6 hours should be the average on heavy usage and 7+ for light to medium

Ok,i think you don't use your phones!
All day open
4G,wifi,location saving battery,messenger,whatsup,viber,facebook,instagram,skype,tmbrl,gmail 3 accounts(about 20-30 mails per day),4 ebanking accounts use them very much.Also minimum 1 hour calls.
Games,
candy crash and subway surfers
I use gps too rarely.
210 apps installed to my phone as i see into titanium
stock rom,elemental x kernel,profile,until now i can't decide which is the best.
with extra heavy use i get 2 hours,usually 2:30-3:15 i have see also 4-5 but i didn't use my phone
Also, how's performance for you?
I'm running a build of Exodus 5.1 with the boeffla kernel, and I'm getting around 3 hours SOT from 100% to 0% battery. That said, I have it set up in a way where I have zero lag (not using performance governor) and I'm getting 76206 on Antutu. with. I've also got Greenify and Amplify.
Just as a side note, how is your charging? I'm getting around 200mAh in (from my best cable and charger) boosted to around 650mAh using boeffla settings. Isn't that a bit low?
Atleast for me and my OPO, only the original charger and cable gets reconized as AC Charger, everything else i plug in as USB Charge, thats why the chip is force values around 200-650mA.
Boeffla Kernel can show u that, if the app says "Ac Charger" + a mAh value then u'r good, if it's not and just shows only a mAh value instead, the Cabel and Chager are reconzied as USB Charger therefore the IC Power Chip limits the throughput.
Sultanxda's 5.1.1 caf rom. Can easily bit 6-7 hours sot. Stock kernal
Before switching roms you should try wakelock detector and/or better battery stats to see if something is keeping your phone awake and killing your battery.
I don't worry too much about benchmark scores, focus on how your rom runs for everyday usage. Performance is just fine for me, but I don't play any heavy games on my phone though

Stock ROM and Boeffla Kernel, 6 hours of SOT with a battery friendly configuration (light undervolt, small underclock and balanced governor), but performances are still great with no lags. However with the stock kernel I never went below 5 hours, which is already a great result
used to have 8h SoT on KitKat. any lollipop / MM rom gives me max. 4h.
Darkobas best battery for me. Around 6 hrs. Then Herna's Omni and RaCyan: more than 5hrs.

slimsaber 0r Omni 6.0.x and sultan CM 13 06/12. CM 07/12build all giving 5+ hrs SOT for me.
I got about 5.5hrs on data (mostly LTE) yesterday across about 14-15hrs usage.
Sultanxda CM13 rom. Everything stock. No greenify and amplify and stuff. Turn of keep awake and wake up for google play services.
recently switched back to kitkat after realizind nobody was gonna fix the sitty battery life on 5.x and upwards. Not regretting my decesion. Bear in mind this is a one and a half year old phone that has seen daily usage, almost half of it was on 5.x, waiting for a battery drain fix. When it didn't come, I came back to 4.4.4 and I'm happy to say my battery is still healthy (was a bit worried all those months running a battery draining rom would have strained my battery). Cant tell you anything about charging since im using stock kernel on official CM11S with a stock charger, other than the fact that it charges really fast. Performance is so good that i decided to try and undervold (to 1950~) and im seeing no noticeable difference. Device is nice and snappy. I'd wholeheartedly suggest a switch to kitkat for the time being for anyone that wants to max out battery usage.
Note: These screenshots were taken after only the 2nd battery charge cycle so the battery still isnt calibrated all the way. After a few more charge cycles, i could probably get back to what i was used to on kitkat in terms of battery life: namely 8h screen time.
Darkobas ROM lightning kernel stylo king smartmax profile 1st charge cycle
My phone running on stock COS12.1 and can get around 7-8 hours of SOT with WiFi in 1 day usage. On 2 days usage SOT 5 to 6 hours. But on Mobile Data I getting a 4 to 5 hours of SOT. For charging I using Apple's wall brick from old Ipad and original OPO cable - 0 - 100% in less then 2 hours.
Sultan cm13 nov build. Getting constantly over 5hr sot with LTE. Standby time 12-16hrs.
Disable the wakeup for google play services.
I'm on sultan's 01/01 cm13 build. Currently have 1:43 sot and am at 78%. Was at 92% after upgrading. So that's 7.357 minutes per 1% battery, or 12.26 hours SOT. Wakelocks are not an issue here because this is continuous use on about 30% brightness, wifi and lte on, sync on, Web browsing and YouTube only (no gaming). Completely stock build with no power saving bs. Sultan for president!
TLDR; depending on your useage, 12 hours SOT on cm13 is possible.
4.4 with cm11s
I've never had more than 2 hours SOT with any rom (stock, sultan's caf, exodus, and others), do I have a battery problem?
5,5-6h SoT with Fusionjack's SlimSaber 6.01 which is based on OmniROM Sources. I'm using this ROM without any modifications, like custom kernel or xposed, neither i'm using things like greenify or similar. I've just tuned the power profiles to save battery while screen is off and limited max cpu frequency to 1958MHz to prevent heating. I'm using Facebook+Messenger and WhatsApp, which are by far the biggest battery hoggers and running Google Now with on Tap with GPS at hight accuracy the whole day. So the reached SoT is absolutely nice. Calculatory that would mean, without Facebook, WhatsApp and deactivated GoogleNow and GPS i could easily reach 8h SoT, but i prefer the comfort over the battery life, coz that's why i'm having such a smartphone.
Sultanxda CM12.1 rom w/ the kernel it comes with. With LTE/WiFi mixed use all day, getting 5-ish SOT and 24 hours battery life total. Installed Greenify but have it limited to hibernating 3 apps only. Likely going to fool around with profiles to see if I can squeeze an extra 3-4 hours out of it.

Hi, I'm running the same setup as you, I was just wondering about the level of screen brightness you are using? Is your phone running on full brigthness, 10%, 50%, 70%? And are you using apps like greenify, nap or anything similar?
I'm getting good battery life with your setup but not as good as you. My screen brightness is always set to full and I'm sure that could drain my battery faster. So I'm just curious to about what level of screen brightness everyone is using approximately to get these kind of great screen on times. I'm just super impressed and hats of to you and everyone who achieves this lenght of usage!!

I got best battery with Darkobas, but my best is around 6. It depends on alot of things: your battery, your signal, your usages... I think my battery is old and the signal here is weak. So you can only compare to your battery life with other roms, other kernels...

I definitely understand that and the factors there is. But I was just wondering if those who are receiving 6+ SOT have their screen brightness turned down or if their screen brightness is fully turned up.
What are you guys seeing as "normal" sot? I know there are many variables but I also find that at the 2.5 hours the phone has been off the charger, I'm already at 75% with only 1 hour of sot. I am stock with power saver turned on even and no rogue apps listed in Gsam Battery Monitor. Bought the phone on Friday..... Call me confused.
I'm getting about 4 to 4 and a half hours SOT. Seems like the display on the HTC 10 is a major power hog.
In terms of optimization they did a fantastic job as my radio is only listed as using 3% of my total battery and app usage is only 21% according to GSAM, meanwhile Screen has used 72% of my battery, and I tend to run the display at a pretty low brightness (about 20-25% brightness) I have 22% battery remaining and screen on time so far of 3:38
Running full brightness all day without power saver, my record so far is 4.5 hours, generally though I only need about 3 hours or so out of it per day, and 3 or 3.5 hours is my average.
How's your signal strength?
I guess I am around a similar time frame then. I hit 5 hours yesterday but like you, the screen is pretty low and it still eats up the battery pretty good. I guess Ill have to "optimize" a little better.
Signal strength is not great. I do bounce around band 25,26, and 41 quite often but my signal strength meter under the battery settings is a mess of a rainbow. Here's to an update heading our way soon...
Hi. I created this thread so that we can all share our battery stats and comments on how battery life can be improved.
I've been using this phone for 6 days now and i can honestly say the battery life isn't great!
I noticed that during use, the battery % will go down by 2% instead of 1% like every other phones do.
Below are my current stats. It didn't even last for 24 hours!
FYI - i am on CN ROM EUI 5.8.017s (not rooted)
Battery life on this phone is just ridiculously awful!
my battery life is awfull
I've tried a lot of different things but keeps being pretty bad , the one that got the best result was setting the CPU to a lower frequency , but that only gave like half a day more.
Agree on the low battery, must be a combination of the processor + the 2k screen
With Android 6 update, I have not noticed any battery duration improvements. Is it possible LeTV has not 'activated' the doze option?
The Duration and good, I do most 3 hours of screen, which uses settings? app?
the battery duration is not very good if you will be using the phone with screen on, you will have a max of 5-6 hours, with full light a max of 2-3 hours.
But if you use it normally, not heavy, it will go throught one day
Intro -
Firstly, for people who have doubts and want proof, see attached pictures.
As you can see, I am able to use my phone fluidly for a full 3 days, while using a heavy browser and apps like WhatsApp and FB lite while clocking in an average of 5 hours of screen on time every day.
For people who already get this long of a battery life or get an even better battery life, I am all ears and it would not hurt you to check out what I did to boost my battery life, as it would only make your life better. :fingers-crossed:
What did I do?
1.) I used these apps as replacements for stock/popular apps
2.) I employed these techniques in a personal combination comfortable to me
Full disclosure (things critics would like to know):
My ROM was stock, but heavily personally modified by applying 1.) and 2.) in combination.
I don't charge my phone with the stock *Turbocharger* as it leads to overheating and less efficient charging, I instead use my old Nexus 4 charger.
My phone was never on a 4G/LTE *DATA* connection but Wi-Fi was ALWAYS on.
My phone didn't get any signal for almost 30% of the time because of the area I live in and FYI looking for a network actually drains more battery.
My screen's brightness level was at minimum *most* of the time.
I was never playing any hardcore games that would have drained battery life.
Note -
My phone used to switch off automatically sometimes because the area I am in is really cold, and according to research lower temperatures can cause your phone to shut down automatically/arbitrarily.
Also, any other errors you might see/assume in my results are accidental, as I enjoy 3 days of battery life on a regular basis.
Additionally, as you can see in my attached screenshots, 15 hours of screen on time (meaning 15 hours of actual phone usage) takes away 50% of my Moto Z Play's battery. The rest of my 50% battery is spent on *processing* (that is, all the other tasks and hardware) when my phone's screen is active (for 15 hours) and also when it's on standby (in doze mode for 2.4 days=57 hours (3days-15hours) (when my screen is off).
So you could say that my phone has a total standby time of 6+ (2*50%=2*3days) days on standby (if the screen is never activated) because processing required is negligible in standby/doze state.
P.S. You will forget to charge your phone if it has a battery life of 3 days LOL.
