- I tried removing a lot of thumbnails to combat the mediaserver drain
- I removed a clock-app that constantly used around 4% cpu
- I tried removing facebook and google now or whatever their weather/intelligent widget is called
- I tried using greenify on everything i could think of.
Today i woke up to a phone that had a depleted its battery more or less overnight with just 30% screen on time.
I did experience the phone lasting 2½ days without a charge during my holidays and that was with 2 hrs screentime and 35% left. That's the kind of performance I'd wish for. The phone is rooted, and I'm using solo launcher, but hardly any customization that aside.
I took SCREENSHOTS of everything that might be important. Maybe you can tell me whats wrong. Under cpu states it says 1khz and only that. Isn't that a bit odd?

IMO that's not too bad I have a 7200 mah battery and it last me about that longs with around 4 hours of SOT, but it seems like your phone might be clocking too high, and brightness might be too high for the screen to be the main suspect like that, with only 30 mins of SOT
I think it's linked to the 3g/4g. If I disable that my phone will last significantly longer. I spend roughly 2 hours on transport a day. Conversely during my holidays it stayed in and around a summerhouse for 2½ days on one charge with 3g with long screen time and camera use. That's a hypothesis at least. Also I didn't use google music or any other audio player at that time.
I can get 2 hrs of SoT, but then I have to actively spend all the battery in the first half of the day, because after a full day the battery will be more or less drained regardless of SoT
If you don't ever use your printing features then i would delete those apps also because the printing service are usually turned on by default and searching for something to connect too or make sure its turned off in your ROMs settings so its not constantly searching.
90% of the time that unexplained battery drain occurs it is caused by low signal and the phone constantly trying to lock on or find a better signal. You can try to decrease this drain by using wifi in low signal areas but your phone will still drain your battery if the voice signal is low to. My phone lasts all day and then some when I'm in good signal coverage. When I go to my brother in law's house which is out in the middle of no where my phone will drain the battery in a matter of hours.
I just did this and have noticed that my SoT has increased DRAMATICALLY. Take this with a grain of salt as it's the first time I've run this test, but previously, even at the DIMMEST setting, I noticed that I could only get about 27 minutes of SoT at 90% battery life. Just right now, in a bright room (my screen is set at the dimmest setting on auto, but it is NOT at the dimmest the screen can be), I just got 42 minutes of SoT at 90% battery. That is a 55% increase in battery life, not factoring in the additional battery it takes because the screen is also brighter.
Will leave LTE off to see how this test progresses and if I can repeat it, but give it a try and let me know if it works as well for you as it did for me.
When Qualcomm first started making LTE chips, they were very inefficient. This might be the case with Samsung as well.
Talk about small sample size... 27 minutes? Just using different apps or playing a game for 5 minutes can explain this.

I don't think you read my post entirely. The variance is a 55% difference, which is huge. Before, I would get 27 minutes max at the screen's dimmest setting. Right now I just got 42 minutes at a much brighter setting. App usage is pretty much the same. It was mostly playing WordFeud, which isnt' a battery hungry app.

I did. What I'm saying is this: this morning I read news for 10 minutes, and was at 97% battery afterwards. If I wake up and play asphalt 8 for 10 minutes tomorrow morning, I'll probably be around 94% afterwards. If my Wi-Fi was turned off this morning and is on tomorrow, does it mean Wi-Fi on has a 100% increase effect on battery usage?

I don't play graphic intensive games, so that's not a factor. The most battery draining thing I do on my phone is web surfing and I didn't do any of that in the first 10% today or on previous days I've checked SoT at 90%.

I think his point was more generic: 27 minutes of use is far too low to be of any significant value for a battery test.
A lot could happen under the hood without you even knowing it: google sync processes, updates, etc.
Do the same for a couple of day, and you'll get a point.

Of course I repeated this test several times - After about 4 or 5 times, I noticed the highest I could get was 27 minutes. Today, after turning off LTE, I was able to get 42 minutes with the screen at a higher brightness.
At the moment when on LTE I seems get a very weak signal, 1 bars most of time. With 3G I'm getting almost full signal 90% of the time. This in itself would play a massive part in battery drain.
I've not switched to 3G only yet, as I still get through a work day with loads of battery left.
spotty or low signal strength does affect battery usage. LTE since it is more localized in coverage than gsm/edge (2g,3g,3g+,4g etc) so if you're not in a heavy coverage area and you dont really need the speed boost of lte, switching to 4g/3g only will benefit you in battery savings.
This may change when 700Mhz is rolled out to more and more areas as it can cover a much larger area and in some cases may provide better and more stable signal strength than non-lte. Until then though, it's a pretty safe bet that disabling LTE will improve your battery life.
I have yet to get less than 24hours of battery life per charge. Not that that means anything to anyone else.
Updated stats in the images. The plateau is overnight when I turn on airplane mode. My SoT has never been this good before.
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
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Battery doesn't drain that much, but I've only tested it for a day so far so I may update this in the future
Manage all apps automatically & smart display
5:48 @ 04% ~ 3.63 minutes to drain 1%
4:08 @ 18% ~ 3.02
2:19 @ 53% ~ 2.96
3:51 @ 29% ~ 3.25
4:29 @ 17% ~ 3.24
Same as above then towards the end of the day switched to 720p & auto manage apps off
5:11 @ 21% ~ 3.93
720p & auto manage apps off
7:14 @ 11% ~ 4.88
I think this is more because of the aggressive ram management when manage all apps is on, and what seems to be a bug with smart display. Restarting apps so many times must drain battery. I will try tomorrow at QHD+ and see the SOT
Also worth noting I do not game, I listen to a lot of music (most of the working day) and stream YouTube to and from work I have over 100 installed apps and 6 messaging apps which I switch to frequently. I have news apps that refresh every hour on data or mobile.
standby drain seems a lot over night about 2x the mah than the OnePlus 6 that I have
Barely need to look for a charger thru out the day
Amazing .
Is yours a Boe or LG screen?
QUOTE=Darkat70;78334851]Amazing .[/QUOTE]
Mine is a BOE screen, 18B02.
Pretty awesome to get that SOT, with 43% battery left. I used my GPS for 30 minutes, watched about 20 minutes of YouTube, 30 minutes of Slotomania game.
On standby I lose about 5% battery in 7 hours or so.
Agreed. I am absolutely loving the battery life on this thing, it insane how much heavy usage 1 Charge cycle can take.
I average around 7-8hours SOT, sometimes 9hours and that's with the screen set to 60% Brightness. Absolutely insane, and it just keeps chugging along.

SOT on LG panel. Truly amazing at more than 6 hours with 40% juice left.
How you get like 8h-9h sot? Usually i have 5.30
i have 3h... how is possible? xD
Hi I get about 6 hours ost is that good.? I have brightness on about 90% and WiFi on at all times I have seen ppl get 7-8 hours ost should I keep manage apps automatically on or turn it off any advice appreciated guys
This bad boy is killing all phones when it comes to battery life..
Here are my stats.
Today was a heavy use day so I only got just over a day of use. I usually get about 2 days before needing to charge. So either one day at 9h SoT or two days at 7h30 SoT, I guess it depends which apps I use too. I try to charge above 5% and stop at 95%.
WQHD+, auto manage apps on, dark theme everywhere I can, never have both wifi and 4G on at the same time and am in Airplane mode during the night to limit battery drain (very effective, I never lose more than 3-5%).
I do a lot of web browsing, a bit of gaming and YouTube, and Facebook/Messenger are probably running in the background and are used a lot.
I rarely have brightness above 50%, except for videos. I mostly stay between 15 and 50%.
System update .153
I noticed that my battery life isn't as good as it was with ly first mate 20 pro that was equipped with an LG display. Since i got my replacement using a BOE screen, battery drains faster. I still manage to get 6/7h of SOT so i'm not complaining but it was better before
BOE screen here, power save mode, 1080p forced resolution gives me 12+ hrs SOT.
Same settings on S7Edge got me 8 hrs...but then again, that battery is 3 years old, therefore around 82% capacity.
Happy camper so far.
The stats i gave were achieved with the exact same settings as i used with the LG equipped one. I used to have 1/2h more of SOT
Battery life is just too good and with the new update 152 makes it even better S

Nice results! What version were you on before? I'm still on .146
On latest 171.. did not notice anything still amazing since day 1..
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Huawei P30 Pro before depleting the battery.

I am getting 9-10hours SOT consistently on the P30 Pro, mine is the 256GB 8GB RAM version, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the camera and battery life.
8 but i have another 20% battery so i can make it 10.
I am definitively not getting that much.
Right now I have 29% battery left with 4,5 h of SOT and 1,5 hours of calls, couple of pictures taken yesterday. BT was on the whole time connected to my watch GT, Wifi on, 4G on.
I just updated yesterday afternoon to version 124. Maybe it improves over time.
What's the best way to drain less battery? Keep WiFi on or Mobile Data on or both at the same time?
With a normal use (from 5:45 to 17:45) with
auto brightness, 2 wearable connected, 4h of music via BT, GPS always on, 1h of voice call... I made 9h of SOT within 48 hours (with a single charge)
I have a problem. The battery menu can not be more than 6h SOT. I do not know where I'm wrong. can he help?
I have the same problem. I think since the update the battery drain is insanely fast.. No rogue apps, just fb, messenger, and mostly of them are put to manual mode.. What is going on, pls help. Also it can barely go through 24h without charging, mostly 5h on screen time max..
Coming from moto z play battery on p30 pro is a sad joke. 6-7h SOT charged on the morning, empty at the evening, with screen dimmed as much as i can, either by app that lowers auto brightness by 50%, or lowering it manualy. I have read reviews that stated great battery life, so either they were misleading or maybe i should turn it to the service. 124 software, but it wasn't any better before the update.
Hmm gsam :/

Sounds like a faulty device. You should be getting 8 hours and over for SOT
Good
11 hours SoT. Auto brightness. Pretty goood. :good:
But was auto brightness at the minimum value, possible only in darkness?
How the hell do you get 11h on screen time with one charge????
Either with screen dimmed so it's visible only in total darkness + wifi internet... or in fact some people have outstanding battery and other got horrible.
I always end my day with 50-60% left and 4-5hrs of sot. Auto brightness and mobile data.

The brightness was average 50%. It has to be mentioned that the battery is hugly affected which apps that are used. As you can see from my post i used reddit and youtube a lot when i got 11 hours SoT.
I have experienced 6-11 hours SoT. So 7 hours is not bad... It all depends on which apps that are used.
I have charged it this morning, now It has past 2h and 45 min since the charging, screen on time 52 min and 88% left. It says only 20h are left before the battery runs out.
