Hey guys,
how's your battery life going? I'm rather pleased with it so far. This is my first day with the phone on stock with no mods or special battery apps.
Can you guys recommend a battery app to restrict background leeching?
Cheers

Screen-on time? I got on my first charge 30hrs. off the charger and 5,5 hrs. SOT with 7% left.
From 92% to 10%, with hardcore installing, making nearly 100 photos and some videos, and gaming, running tests, im get more than 4 hour SoT.
Stock OS, no mods.

On wifi or 4g?
60% left, 3.2h sot, only wifi (no sim card), location on
First full cycle. Im pretty pleased with the battery. Stock rom and kernel. Magisk as root and no battery saving apps. Didnt even use battery saver once it hit 15%.
7hr sot with moderate usage. A little bit on clash of clans. quite a bit of web browsing on chrome. Used facebook, messenger, tandem and other apps quite a bit. Also used wifi 90% of the time and LTE the other

Naw, normal day, mix (wifi and 4g).
It's about the same like 3T but I will sell it.
Very impressed with battery backup.
First charge (full) since I received the device, everything stock.
Medium to high usage over 36-38 hours, setting up, installing apps, gaming a little, videos, browsing. Mostly on WiFi, maybe a couple of hours on 4G:
15% battery remaining
After today's oxygen update my battery has gotten significantly better. It may also be a case of the battery settling in after a few days. I went from losing 30% in 2 hours idle in my pocket yesterday to losing 30% in 9 hours using it throughout work today. Color me impressed. And this is coming from the Moto Z play. A battery beast!!!

Use app create for your phone (By samsung : Message, internet browser, Keyboard...) and you can see imediatly the difference in smoothness and battery drain .
For example "Don't tuning your car, use the stock part for more security...)
Uncle Samy has expensive R&D department for make application specific for your phone, use it.
That not a troll but, for that apple is smart.
And don't use ton of apps. You can use all option with your phone (AOD, Smart alert, Smart stay......) without any problem because all of them are CREATE FOR YOUR PHONE !

My friend under no circumstances is it acceptable to have such appalling battery life. The only time it is acceptable is if you do heavy gaming. In all other conditions this phone should hit 5 to 7 hrs SOT,
YouTube will always use a lot of battery, especially if there's not an optimal 3g/4g/wifi connection.

we are on the same page bro.. ? noting to do thinking of getting pixel 2xl or oneplus 5t
i know many apps drain battery..but after buying a 750$ phone, it's obvious i would use it as much as i want.. but it's not happening.. if one needs to DEBLOAT, block notification etc things, shouldn't they get nokia 3310? fully DEBLOATED no lag and excellent battery..
btw i don't have any defect in my phone... and i don't get easily 6h.. that's what the post is about..
8-9 hrs SOT is just not possible on s8. Its an outlier if its true. Even on Wifi, one might get 5 hrs to max 6 hrs SOT. I would ask folks who are getting it to do a video of their phones and usage to confirm this kind of SOT.
The issue is with standby time and not with actual battery consumption. Sammy's experience 9.0 is also not as optimized as vanilla android. OEMs like Huawei & Xiaomi just nuke their background apps and hence folks get higher standby and thus more SOT
@sp1312 Indian telcos are not optimized for 4G. The max SOT you'lll get on a good day with mixed (wifi+4G) would be about 4-5 hrs which I am experiencing.

Don't lose sleep over an hour or two of SOT. Just enjoy the phone. As far as it lasts a day, everything is fine.
The trick to higher SOT is keep it's screen on for a few minutes randomly. When I read books on Kindle app or keep looking at photos, my SOT shoots up by an hour. There is usually nothing wrong with our phone, unless there is abnormal battery drain per hour. 2-4% on 4G is absolutely fine.

that abnormal drain is the issue for some users including me..
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 OnePlus 6 before depleting the battery.

Here's my second charge cycle. The first one was only 78% to 43% over a working day so no point posting that.
Not quite 8h SOT but I'm happy with this. Day's use included 24 minutes of continuously testing the camera.
Very happy with the sot.

Managed about 7 hours before the battery saver turned on.
About 30 mins playing games, 45 mins videos with high screen brightness and the rest using Chrome.

Previous day's I'm kinda disappointed with the battery life/SOT since I just get an average of 4-5 hrs. This time however, I can hit 6-7 hours. IDK what happened perhaps my charging habit? Or my habit of playing/using my note 9 while charging? Also I charge my phone overnight and I must say those did not hurt my battery but improved it. 2 hours SOT and I only lost 20%

I felt the same. Discharge was more during initial charging cycles then improved slowly. Now almost everytime i get 7 hrs. I felt the difference especially after the October update I'm seeing good battery life. :good::good:
even more screen time

Latest SOT (one UI beta)
I get around 16 Hours screen on time. My display is set to a Screen resolution of FHD+(2220x1080). I have a black theme and amoled black wallpaper. I game a lot (rise of the kings) and stream from Spotify regularly. My game performance setting is set to balanced and I went to... Settings>Device maintenance>battery and added apps that need to run in the Unmonitored catagory. Email Facebook Skype and so on. The rest I put into the always sleeping catagory. I have the snapdragon Canadian variant SM-N960W. Had it 5 months now and on a non gaming day I can push 20 hours. I don't watch videos tho, got a TV for that. I also disabled any unneeded apps and removed all bloatware. Hope I've given you some ideas.
Cheers!

While I don't believe you would get that amount of SOT over a prolonged period, it does point out that raw mah isn't everything.
I agree it won't get that much in real life. I am curious however how the SOT will be for people that will not use the radar, no AOD and possibly even no face unlock, stay on 60hz and just want a great camera, good speed and latest assistant and have the best Google ecosystem experience. I am that kind of user.
I looked at the 3axl but it is noticeably slow and I need a fast phone for different work needs.

no doubt, those conditions that you just stated should save a substantial amount of battery life. My 6T is 3700mah and I get around 6-8hrs sot(depending on usage) no reason to think the pixel can't achieve that with superior software.
Got the phone yesterday, charged all the way up before turning on at about 5pm. Went to bed about midnight. Galaxy S2 watch connected around 7 pm. Did setup, some netflix, and typical messing around with a new phone. Didn't screen shot it, but when I was going to bed last night, I had 4h03M SOT with 47% left. I don't expect it to translate to 7hrs or anything, but it seems better than my previous Note 9 and S8+.

Roger that on the N9! My wife's N9 looses a minimum of 10% overnight at idle. Shoot, my Chevy suburban with 6 people going uphill at 75mph gets better mileage! ???
I got the phone yesterday and charged it too 100% and my screen on time was 6hrs 5 Mon with 9% left. I don't get why the negative battery comments and reviews so far. 6 hours is more than enough.
First cycle with dynamic 90hz no point of forcing always to 90hz. Most social media apps. Tg and duo suck a lot of battery.

The battery is not that bad... here are my screenshots. I am not a gaming person but I usually was surfing the internet, Facebook, etc... and use message app and did use the camera. I turned motion sense off since I am Deaf so I can't hear the music and my hands are getting tired from wave and wave.
sorry for bad grammar.
Good. Maybe the haters will STFU now
Got my 4XL yesterday and it was at 60% out of the box. I used it like normal and with more than 3hr 30min of screen on-time it was at 24%. I don't think it will be that bad.
2nd cycle I guess since it's under 75% it was at 60hz didn't notice any difference screen still very smooth.

I believe they meant the screen brightness was under 75%. When it is, the screen only runs at 60hz.
So I've had the Pixel 4 XL , for 3 full days in the UK now.
Day 1 SOT was 6 hrs 3 mins with 9% left
Day 2 SOT was 6 hrs 15 min with 4 % left
Day 3 SOT is 5 hrs 1 min with 18% left.
The battery is more than adequate. I had the 3 XL which would get a max of just over 4 hours. I'm new.to the forum but I have screenshots as well but don't have a clue how to upload lol. The phone is on 90hz at all times too But most times you can't really tell. It's an amazing phone so fast, the disappointment is video quality again and some of the pic quality is similar levels to 3 XL but I need to fully utilise the camera.
I got similar SOT with 6 hr 12 min and 9% battery left. This with using "force" 90hz , 87% brightness , and always on display (thought it was not always on!). Battery is more than adequate for my usage.
