I've spent hours researching this issue online, but haven't found a clear and accurate response. Here's the deal: I have a Nexus 6p with Marshmallow and a 3450mah battery.
I cannot for the life of me understand the stats in the Android battery settings, particularly when compared to gsam. I've attached photos of my gsam, Android battery settings usage, and screen time usage. These were all taken simultaneously for comparison purposes.
As you can see, per gsam, I had the screen on for 4hrs and 5 mins, which as you'd expect, would eat a ton of battery. In fact, it took up 79% of the 70% of battery that I'd used up to that point (note: phone still had 30% charge remaining). Doing the math, .79 * 70, means that, draining from 100 with 30 left, 55 came from the screen. Sounds right.
Okay, cut to the Android Battery stats. First off, it says the screen represents 12% of the battery drain. And sure enough, when I click on the "screen" descriptor, it shows that the screen has used 424 mah. The battery is 3450 mah. 424/3450=~12%
This makes no sense. I had the screen on for 4 hours and it only accounted for 12% drain? What's more confusing is that all the listed items on the battery screen don't come close to adding up to 100%. I understand this changed at some point in Lollipop, I believe. But again, I have no idea what these numbers reflect now. What in the world is 12% supposed to represent?
I'm asking because, first, I want to understand, but second, I returned a s7e because of the well documented high android system drain listed under Android Battery Settings. I'm starting to question whether that's even a real issue since these stats seem meaningless compared to reality. There is zero chance that my screen only used 12% of the battery. Just using simple logic, GSams output seems more appropriate.
So I know what you're going to say... Use gsam. Yes, but, I want to understand what the native battery settings actually mean. If it's completely misreporting usage, it means people are making decisions on phones and changes to enhance battery life based on completely worthless information.
Please help! Not knowing is eating at me.
That percentage is the power use. You answered your own question.

Yes, but if it's the power use, how does it make sense? The screen only used 12% of the entire battery, even though it was on for four hours straight with, as you can see, not much else hitting the battery. How did the battery drain down 70% if the screen only used 12%?
And why does gsam show that the screen used 79%, which seems far more accurate given that the screen was on for hours.
Would love clarity.

I don't think you're going to get it mate as it's a completely useless section of settings, it should be broken down to the nitty gritty details.. I think using gsam is the right choice the battery section is pants.
I believe the percentage showed in settings is based upon hourly use. Whereas gsam is giving you the total usage.

I'm far more inclined to believe the native battery stats. The actual screen doesn't use that much power as everyone tends to believe. What uses much more power is the CPU, and the CPU is generally only active when the screen is on and you are using the device. Checking my own stats, I see that my screen-on battery usage per minute is slightly higher than yours, but I like to keep my adaptive % set to around 60 during the day.
So, the screen % in the stock settings is probably accurate for the screen only, whereas GSAM seems to be measuring total battery used by all components of your device including the CPU, while your screen is on. I'm also not convinced that GSAM has access to mAh usage of the actual screen. It could be if you had installed the GSAM root helper which must write a file in the system partition.

Interesting theory, but the issue is that on other devices, like the s7e, the stats output from the stock battery settings look completely different. Meaning, the list of items power usage adds up to the amount of drain. I still can't figure out why the 6ps report numbers that make no sense. Even if the screen isn't as much of a hog as the cpu, the numbers in the battery stats should have some value to them. Also, cpu would be part of Android System, which is listed even lower on the stats.

Ummmm it makes pretty good sense. If you're using 12% of the battery per hour. Then with 4 hours screen on time you end up using roughly 50% of the battery. That seems pretty accurate to me. Pair that with all the other things that are eating up your battery and it probably adds up to the 70% you used.

Well it's measured in milli amps per hour. Which is the power used on an hourly basis. So I would assume the percentage used is on an hourly basis as well. And if you do the math multiplying the percentages used based on the amount of time each app is running it equals out to total percentage used.
I broke it down in percentage multiplied by hrs of use. At 24% battery left here were my numbers.
App: Percent used × hrs used = total usage
Screen: 10% × 3.25hrs = 32.5%
Car drift racing: 5% × 1.23 hrs = 6.25%
Android OS: 5% × .98hrs = 4.9%
GP services: 4% × .2hrs = .8%
Android system: 4% × 1.26hrs = 5.04%
Cell standby: 3% × .4hrs = 1.2%
Phone idle: 2% × 11.98hrs = 23.96%
Tapatalk: 2% × .116hrs = .23%
YouTube: 2% × .16hrs = .33%
Google app: 2% × .116hrs = .23%
GP music: 2% × .116hrs = .23%
Chrome: 1% × .08hrs = .08%
Total = 75.75%. Round that to 76% and you're left with 24%.

If you're correct, that's an absurdly obscure way to present data to the consumer when other phones make it simple by showing an absolute number. Why does the s7e show an absolute number, but the 6p does not? Aren't they both on Marshmallow?

If TouchWiz takes the information in the AOSP Marshmallow to present the numbers in a different manner, isn't there a way to do that on the 6p, in theory?

Of course there is. Don't use the stock battery app lol. Gsam with root companion works great IMO.
I'm sure there's some way to edit the way the battery percentage is presented. Change it from hourly to total usage. But I have no idea how to do that.

No it doesn't, any battery app that's actually accurate requires root.
Would there be a way to implement the s7e battery stat app into our 6p? Rooted obviously. I've never been a fan of the method used by Google.
Battery life
My phone's battery is draining mostly because of Android OS. 15 percent when my screen uses only 8% mobile radio active for 2 n half hours. what is the problem?
Related
ok so my phone has been off the charger for ;
5h 23m 17s
I am at 56% battery.
What concerns me is that my display usage is at 56% of my battery usage with just 22m 27s of usage.
now if I do the math that means the display has used 25.76% of a full charge in just over 20 mins of use.
This seems absurd especially for what is supposedly a more efficient display. Do these numbers seem on par or do I have a faulty battery/device?
Has it been conditioned? I know conditioning does nothing to the battery itself, but it does cause the percentages to reflect more accurately.
Also, was it fully charged 5 hours ago when you took it off the charger? If not these numbers are meaningless.
I suggest comparing multiple charge cycles, not one strange instance.

No, I have not conditioned, the phone.
Yes it is coming off of a full charge.
This is the first day I have taken it off the charger for the full day. I have had it connected to computers via USB to install music apps and get it rooted since I got it so I do not have any other cycles to compare it to accurately.
To be honest these batts do not need conditioning, they have no memory effect.
OP Display is nearly always the most. Unless you make long calls (which could make calls the highest) or never use the phone (stand by would be the highest)...
I would be far more concerned if an app or other device function was at the top of the list other than display.
I had initial concerns about the battery when I got this phone. Now that I have settled into a normal usage pattern (few videos, email, web surfing, Facebook, etc.) I get a full day (7am-10pm) out of a charge.
Just use it as you normally would and don't worry too much about the numbers. See how long it lasts and then adjust as needed. You can disable something that you don't need at that particular moment and make a big difference (like turning off Auto-Sync when you don't need to be constantly updated of your friends Facebook status or turning off 3G when you aren't going to be surfing).

The fact that the display was on top is not what is concerning me it is the percentage of the full charge it used that has me worried.
In the total time off the charger at the time of these stats I used 46% of the battery. 56% of the 46% was for the display. That means that in 22 mins my display ate 25% of my full battery, which would equal out to my phone being dead with 1h 20m of screen time assuming no other resource used the battery.
Lot of people (me included) are confused about how to read and understand battery statistics. I think it's possible to find misunderstanding in many of the battery usage threads I have been reading, making discussions muddy.
As an common example people often think that a high OS-System battery % equal high OS-System battery usage/drain ... but I don't think this is true!
Let me show two examples:
Example 1:
On battery 26 hours using 43% battery or roughly 1.65% battery per hour.
Screen 23%
Android-System 22%
Android-OS 21%
Voice call 10%
Standby 9%
Newsreader 7%
Phone not active 6%
Google services 2%
All together 100%.
Example 2:
On battery 10 hours using 50% battery or roughly 5% battery per hour.
Screen 55%
Android-System 8%
Android-OS 9%
Voice call 7%
Standby 5%
Newsreader 7%
Phone not active 7%
Google services 2%
All together 100%.
One should think that Android-System and Android-OS drains more in example 1 than it does in example 2 ... but I think it's the opposit!
Example 1 Android-OS have been using 21% of those 1.65% --> 0.33% per hour.
Example 2 Android-OS have been using 9% of those 5% --> 0.45% per hour.
Would someone PLS verify that I understood it correctly, or feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
You are 100% correct!

Disclaimer: This is what sounds logic to me and what I think is how it works. Now I have no specific knowledge about battery so this might be completely wrong.
First read this, or don't but it makes it easier to understand.
Now going on in that trend lets say you have a gas tank of 100l liters (same as 100% battery). In your first example 43% got lost, so 43 liters. 21% of the 43 liters got drained by the hole. Thus 43*,21=9,03 liters.
Second example: 50 liters total drained, 9% by the hole. Thus 50*,09=4,5 liters.
So the first example drained more.

Yes you might be right ... but what about the time factor?
Agree that in example 1 OS uses more juice than in example 2, but over a much longer time. Meaning less average drain!

Factor in the "leak"(drainage) over time and you can see the OP's point.
Scenario 1 : 9.03/26h = 0.35/h
Scenario 2 : 4.5/10h = 0.45/h
The actual RATE of loss/drainage is more important.
This might give someone with lots of spare time to tabulate a league table of battery dissipation/drainage for different ROMs/firmwares. Or more interestingly across different devices using stock ROMs (eg SGS2 vs Sensation vs Atrix vs LG2X, etc)
I agree, but the first example drained more but slower and the second less but faster.

..and hence the battery in the first scenario will last longer than the second, assuming both start at the same capacity.

no matter what, there is a bug! compared to other 2.3.3 phones, my nexus one has been unplugged 7.5 hours right now, with 1 hour of screen-on time. and my android OS is reading 2%, 2 minutes usage. that is TWO MINUTES. that is the way its supposed to read. i've gone 24 hours with 12 minutes usage for android OS.
somethign is just not right with the SGS2 reading...
I need to revise maths once again

But I used my iphone at work to watch videos, ect while there is downtime. I usually watch while it's also on the charger
For the Note series, does anyone know if that "kills" my battery for long term?
I know you can replace battery, but just wondering for future use.

Issue with battery drain due to android system is real
All three people I know that just got the Note 4 were experiencing the same issue I had with excess battery drain with the always generic "android system" taking more battery than anything else including the screen.
I downloaded an app called "System Tuner" and looked the CPU% for Android system and it was a constant 3-4% when the phone was otherwise idle.
I found a post at http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/80459 where they were experiencing the same issue (lose around 12% battery an hour with android system taking a huge chunk of battery). The person from that post was able to address the issue by turning location off, rebooting, turning location on, and rebooting again. After I did this I saw Android system idle at ~0.6% - 1.1% instead. So far I'm getting much better battery life but I'll need to give it some time to know for sure.
Hope this helps!
mine took about 2 full days for everything to finish syncing, downloading, indexing, etc. I had books, news articles, pinned music from google play, etc.
Once that happened, everything is now "normalized" and I'm getting better battery life than I was with the note 3.

Short answer: Maybe, it depends on how you are doing it. Using it while it is charging is not necessarily bad but watching videos and keeping it plugged in while the cell voltage is pegged at 100% will likely deteriorate your battery faster.
Long answer + tips:
Lithium ion batteries are great - they are light, can be made very thin and have excellent energy density but they are also very finiky.
Things to avoid doing with a lithium ion battery
-Charging to 100%, leaving it plugged in overnight is a poor practice(high cell voltages reduce the service life*, stopping the charge at 90%[4.10v] can double the service life, stopping the charge at 80%[4.00v] can quadruple the service life.*)
- Discharging the battery to below ~20% (Li-Ion batteries are somewhat sensitive to deep discharges)
-Charging/exposing Li-Ion to elevated temps or below freezing.
*service life is defined by when a battery can only retain 70% of its rated capacity. Most consumer batteries used in mobile devices have a service life of 500 charge discharge cycles.
It is not uncommon for batteries to lose 30% capacity in 1.5 years or less. Changing your charging and handling habits can double or quadruple a batteries life span.

On my 2nd charge, auto brightness. Pretty freakin' amazing battery life....
15.5 hours off the charger with 8+ screen on time!
I got awful battery life on the first charge cycle. It drained 50% overnight. 2nd charge has lasted amazingly long and I still have 64% after 12hrs of average use.
First charge. Battery life has been phenomenal. Brightness on auto.
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Definitely improve battery with recent update and I'm a power user
After the latest update
I dont know why but my phone goes from 100-90 in less than a hr with minimal use while the screen is set at auto, also in the leaving it unplugged in the night the battery also drains like 5 points.
I've been at full brightness and using the hell out of it non stop so far, and I'm at 35% with screen on time at 3hrs 40 min.

Was just wondering if anybody else had run into this. It says I'm at 94% and its showing I only have 5 hours of battery life estimated left. Can this be right? My Samsung S7 Edge has 87% and it's showing it's going to last 10 hours. I'm running 7.0 nougat also.
Uh, that statistic doesn't mean jack ****.
If I've hardly touched my phone for a few hours, it's going to say 20+ hours remaining (with the current usage), so that is completely irrelevant for almost any case.
it's the estimate based on the current use, so if you unplug the phone from the charger (100%) and use your phone for 20min and the battery go down to 94%, then the estimate will be based on that and will show ~5hour left.
so basicaly , what adsubzero said : "that statistic doesn't mean jack ****."

It's not that it isn't 100% accurate, it shouldn't ever be even considered.
It basically takes into account what have you been doing since the last full charge and tries to project the remaining battery life.
That would only be accurate if you were using the phone in the same linear behavior from 100% to 0%.
The conclusion: don't worry about that.
That's would be 5h SOT if you using it constantly until the battery drain out completely

Check the screenshot.
So this would mean I have 13h SOT left?
Nope, over the 9h I've used 40% of the battery, so it estimated that it would take 13h for the remaining 60%.
See how it draws a straight line to 0 from 100, which means it's a simple linear calculation.
If I went beast mode and started gaming it would be at 0% in 2h or less, and that is a big miscalculation which is why it shouldn't be taken seriously.
Hey all,
2 days ago, I got my Op5. Very happy with the phone, except for one thing : accubattery says that the capacity is just beneath 3100mah, instead of the 3300mah it should have. I let it run down and charged it to 100% and kept it on the charger for about one hour after that, still around 3100mah, according to accubattery.
How are your batteries? I'd like to know if this is a widespread issue.
How do you know that accubattery is correct?
Alan
Same here, but even lower. After 42 cycles is around 3000 mAh.

Well, since it is measuring the amount of current going in the actual battery, after some cycles you can assume with quite confidence the actual battery capacity. Besides, it will actually plot the measurement, so you can actually see if the data makes sense.
I'm curios also about the actual capacity, because this would be an indicator of why I have seen so much variation about the battery life on different handsets.
Man, I really don't care. Best battery life ever! (I came from OP3 and OP2 before that)

I'm curios also about the actual capacity, because this would be an indicator of why I have seen so much variation about the battery life on different handsets.

This app shows significantly lower capacity in almost all phones. To determine capacity you have to discharge battery completely (which is not 0% reported by system) and charge it with precise measurements (5 seconds sampling rate like Accubattery isn't enough). This app is like cancer. This is fourth thread in last two weeks about this **** app. Only things it does well is reporting false data gathered by pseudoscience method and drain battery by wakelocks. Do you need to mess up with battery stats? Get Google battery historian.

So, how some users like the one above achieve 8h SOT while others like myself neither 5. I'm even never play games almost, which is typical a drain source on phones.

There is no typical drain source. Everone has different apps installed, different usage, different settings... etc. I can achieve 8h SOT or 2h SOT too. Do you really think, that 10% of reported battery capacity loss would make 60% higher difference in SOT?

Thanks, I didn't know this app is that unreliable.
