I'm interested in the V20 (to replace my V10) but am very concerned about the battery. Anyone had, or have, both a V10 and a V20?
The CPU improvements will be nice but that battery is key.
Thanks!

Seems to be somewhat better for me. Not twice as long, but it seems I can get a few extra hours of my (admittedly not very heavy) usage.
Even a few extra hours would be welcomed... Thanks for the input! Looking further into XDA, I appreciate how the V20 seems to be rootable as well.

I almost bought a V10 used to see if maybe I would get a V20 later. I'm glad I went ahead and just got the V20. For me it is better than the Note 4 with the same use.
However, standby time is insane with Android 7.0. Standby on the Note with 6.0 was very good but 7.0 takes Doze a step further and works amazing. If they update the N4 to Nouget then it will prob be about the same as the V20.

They did the V20 good with power saving software. Much better than the V10 which I had previously.
As for screen time and battery size, there's not much of a difference. Maybe a hour more tops.
I bought the V10 in Oct 2015. Got the two battery and SD card deal. Initially, the battery life was good, not quite as good as the V20 has been, but by the time the phone was 6 months old I was changing batteries by noon and still charging later in the afternoon (depends on the day).
The V20 has been great, some power use days I am charging at 6 PM (usually take it off charge at 7-7:30AM on the regular)...other days, I still have 70% left at 10PM with a couple calls, couple texts and checking Facebook hourly.
Now, my wife gets the hand me down, and now uses the V10, she is not a poweruser. on one battery she can get through the work day, but is usually charging when she gets home.

When I first used the OPT, I noticed that it loses battery *in standby* pretty fast. Screen on time was good but just leaving it be would drain a lot of battery. I turned off LTE but also noticed that it often struggled with cell network quality (which usually makes a phone look for other stations etc. thus battery is used a lot).
However, today, after a couple of days of use and maybe 3, 4 recharge cycles, it seems a bit better. Is there a chance that this is an actual effect (it could be something very different). Do batteries also get better after some use or am I just biasing my highly non-scientific measurements here?

I've noticed this too. I think that this battery technology does improve its capacity after several charge/discharge cycles.
Correct but what about 100+ cycles... It start loosing its power.... What's the best way to keep a li-ion unit last longer? Any help or suggestions?

Good practice is not let battery overheat, like when you play and charge, also batteries don't like to be fully discharged try to keep at least 20% and start charging again

Short answer. No, worse.
It's been nearly 27 months of daily and intensive use of my oneplus one and I can't be happier, not even consider buying a new smartphone with the performance of this little one.
I was in fact considering buying a new battery, wasn't noticing any noticeable decrease in battery life but it might just be because of the slowness of the wearing and buying a new one will immediately result in much better results.
I found an app called accubattery that tests wear by measuring charging currents vs charge percentage over time and would love to see how is you battery performing, also wanted to know the results of a new battery if some of you have indeed swapped it already.
Here are some screenshots

Considering a new battery would perform about 97/98% (just guessing) that's about 5% wear every 8 months. Seems like a really slow pace if you ask me.
Would love if some of you guys test it for a couple of charges cycles and share your results vs age of your device.

You shouldn't trust these battery apps. Measure it that way - if the battery lasts long enough for you - you don't need to replace it. Otherwise get a replacement and hope that it's better than your current one.
Right now I get about 3.5-4 hours of SOT with Stylo King's profile and I charge it every night. Perhaps I'll replace the battery within a year but who knows - I might just get an external battery instead.

Sure enough, I'm still OK with the battery life. But it's interesting to know how fast batteries are wearing and how much improvement we get with a new one. This app measures how much capacity it can hold, battery life is a different story.
20% wear might not seem a lot but imagine you have an extra 20% each time your battery dies. Might consider a new one in the near future.
i am really interested to this topic too. for now, you can refer to the answer to this thread of mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/how-battery-1-2-years-t3414249
the biggest problem at the moment is that most of battery sold online as original are simply fake and works very bad, so finding a replacement it' s hard. Oneplus support asks for aroun 80€ to replace the battery
Hello all,
I have Silver S7 edge since last week. I absolutely love this thing.
I have disabled bloatwares, turned off syncs, wireless & bluetooth scanning. I have not been using AOD.
The battery is very very good.
with GPS & wifi turned on, I lost just 3 % overnight!
Now I was reading about the dozing feature in Nougat. Will Samsung implement the dozing which will improve battery inspite of having let's say background app sync? or will it be the case that the current S7 users won't notice significant improvements in battery life.
PS: I get 4-5 hours of SoT, with lots of Whatsapp calling (close to 2 hours) and normal calling (close to 4 hours).
cheers..

The first beta of nougat will be released just in a few hours, but don't expect good battery and smoothness until the final build comes out. But I am pretty sure that with the stable release, your battery along with everything else will definitely get better.

The beta will be out only in the UK, Korea and US if I'm not wrong and since I don't live there, then soon I will flash the uk version to get nougat.
I also don't live in uk but my firmware says it's uk. also it arrived from uk. so can I also flash it. where to get it?

WTF is going on with my battery? I have the S7 Flat snapdragon version (G930v) running the G930u software unrooted which removes all carrier bloat. Screen brightness is set to a little past half way. I have all setting provided by stock software optimized for maximum battery life other than running AOD. I am running a black Wallpaper/Lockscreen/ and an All black theme from the Theme Engine.. I Repeat, I have all stock firmware options Optimized for battery. Every single one. Wth hell is going on here. My battery time is looking Rediculous in comparison. Someone help me out here.

I feel asleep around 3am I guess with 89% and woke up just now close to 11. Heres battery over that 8hr period. 5% during that time. Standby drain is not bad it seems. But only 10hrs on 100% is crazy low compared to what some of you guys are getting.
End of Trial:
What can I do to get this increased.?
4.5 Hr of SOT is very Good. I am on the U firmware also and get 3 SOT. When you make comparisons, compare to SD Soc not the Samsung Exnos. You can download Gsam Battery and give it more permissions thru ADB and monitor. I noticed my proximity sensor (2) are giving high wakelocks.
The SD vs Exnos makes that much of a difference? I'm seeing people get 5.5-6.5screen on time in the main s7 thread. Granted not many relay the information as to weather they have SD/Exnoys or Flat/Edge.
4.5 hours when compared to 6 average over there, eh to me that's on the low end. I'd be losing my mind if I was only getting 3SoT.
I miss removable battery functionality.
Do you guys leave your screens on 24/7 or something? I use my phone quite a bit, but get 24 hours to a charge.
Is this ok?
At this brightness level plus I have turned off buttons backlight.

I get around 4 hours sot when I get home, here is my day with my phone.
730am start streaming audio books through Bluetooth facebook sms email.
4pm stop streaming books 75% battery.
5pm games facebook email sms.
10pm bed time, end the day with 330 to 4 hours sot and 15%battery remaining.
Post your battery and the period you have the phone,
to get there you need dial*#*#service#*#* on the numbers and scroll to "battery health test" (work on any stock ROM xperia)
mine is 2429 (out of 2700Mah) got my Z5C for 1.5 years

wow really good score, its seems you really save your battery.
(if you reflash\factory rest its need 2-3 charges to get accurate again)
but.. in the other hand ,my phone was 2850 when was new even its 2700 on specs.. so it could be
(maybe the charge optizmion bug i've got ruin's my battery life)

yeah I was surprised too. Actually I was expecting something worse due to the age of the phone, the fact that I never used the "battery optimization option" and my Z5C is often charged with almost full battery (using it in the car as alerter for speed cameras/traffic jams <- USB connected). Maybe the result is influenced by the fact that I lost the original power supply early, since then I am using the one from my old S4 mini with less output (I think 1.0A).
Last factory rest was when Android 7.0 was rolled out in Germany (by Sony - without provider branding). I checked it for the first time, so I can't say which value was shown when my phone was new , but I am looking forward to see results from other users.
2672000 here.
In use since Jan 2016 - 1 year 7 Months .
I'm one of those who become nervous when getting near 50% so it frequently hangs on the wire - several times a day, actually.
I was worrying about ruining my battery by this treatment, due to reading a lot about having to 'train' your battery by sucking it down to 15-20% at times. So this is all crap information, obviuosly.
Thank you for posting this code, btw.
Useful information!
