Alleged: Nearly 8 hours SOT fully stock

So check this post out:
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/35vp8k/how_is_this_even_possible/
TL;DR - this guy claims (and seems to have posted screenshots of) nearly 8 hours screen-on time, fully stock.

He says he's getting almost 8 hours of screen-on time at 40% brightness and he's completely stock -- and your response is "so what"?
I am not sure how it's possible, what the guy is claiming.

yup, so what? what does his battery life have to do with my life? nothing!
battery life is completely personal, depends how you use the device, what you install, your setup, and your signal quality.

As long as battery life isn't completely horrible, I can live with whatever I get. I have a 13,000 mah portable charger, a car charger, a charger at home, and one at work. Not worried.

I never got 4+ SOT with all kind of battery saving techniques.

Unfortunately it's really easy to fake this. Not saying he's been dishonest. I applaud his tweaking if it is legit

Why would you want to partialy disable and cripple a near perfect device for another hour of screenontime? Realy, ever heard of powerbanks

I wish I could say I have a solution but I have almost the same problem. With my opt, Google play services also is in on the battery drain. Would really like to have some tips. I've seen cases where one of these processes drains the battery, but not 2 or 3.

Very similar to my battery life. 2 hours screen on time, 12 hours off the charger, at 20%.

Do you have fingerprint scanner or tap to wake, and carry your phone in your pants pocket? If so, you may want to try having the screen facing away from you at all times to avoid accidental wakelocks.

Not OP, but personally I doubt it's that. I have charged my phone to 100%, then left it unplugged for 8 hours overnight for testing, and it will usually be at 80% the next morning. Most phones I have had won't drop below 90% overnight.

I just got my OP2 and it was at 93% when I started the initial setup process... after 44 minutes of setting up and downloading apps and the 2.1 update, it was at 52%. My Moto X Pure has "ok" battery life, but is much better in comparison... It only dropped about 20% during the initial setup, including ROOTing and doing a Nandroid.
So, I'm a little concerned about keeping the OP2 for this reason? Plus, the speaker sounds terrible.... But I've been using HTC dual front speaker phones for the past 2 1/2 years and most recently the Moto X Pure with dual front speakers. So the one speaker on the bottom is a bit of a let-down.

Guys, ok i charged my OP2 till 94% last night and left it. In the morning my battery was down to 54% and the major eatup of battery was done by MAPS. but my location was off and maps was not there in the running apps. SOT was 5 mins.
So, i am still trying to figure out as how to kill the Maps. But from morning (7 am) till now (3 pm), my batter was down only 23% and i have been constantly using my phone with SOT as 2 hrs.
Little weird but intersting.

Battery drain

Can someone explain to me, please, what is going on with my S8. The drain is crazy.

Is that not normal? lol Mine pretty much looks the same. All my apps are at the bottom of the list but iam getting great battery life

what is your SOT?

i get same system usage as you but i 5-6 sot

4-6 SOT, actually, I thought Android battery life has evolved when I bought galaxy s8. But no, it keeps sucking my battery life even when it's in my pocket.

Unfortunately this issue is present on all samsung galaxy phones i've owned recently (s6 edge, s7).
I can't understand why the battery life is so bad and inconsistent.
No matter if all day wifi or mixed (data 4g/lte & wifi)

The background usage is pretty minimal. I don't understand why people complain that "something" however small is going on with the phone when the screen is off. The system is still alive, after all. Notifications need to get through, sensors need to be active to wake the phone (fingerprint, accelerometer, etc), apps need to be kept in memory, not to mention the always on display. Is it that surprising that if battery went down 10 percent during sleep 20, 30 or even 80 of that drop is due to these things? (that's what that reading indicates after all, 9% is not from total battery capacity, but 9% out of the amount drained).
Sorry for the rude rant, but people "expect" too much of the standby times.
Can the battery be improved? Certainly. Can the power drain be improved? Of course. But never to the point where it consumes absolutely nothing at all during sleep. Except if you turn the phone off.

20 hours on battery, 30%left. OP must be trolling.

Normal

I noticed finger print loves to break deep sleep.

4-6 hours of SOT? That's pretty good though... Same with what most people are getting including me. If I drained it all the way down I could probably reach 7 hours SOT. Totally beats the 3 hours SOT I got with my Note 5.

Did your previous phone with a 3000mah battery and a bigass screen get 4-6 hours of sot? I thought so...

Did you realize that when you total up the battery usage, you won't get 100% of battery charge?

Battery Life of the S7 Edge?

My S7 Edge Battery life is very strange , I use power saving mode (Mid) with Res set on FHD, and I can say, I maybe last 8 hours or so ? Maybe 4 hours screen on time. If I use the normal mode, the battery drains like hell. Yet, when I use max power saving , I can go hours without 1% dropping off my battery. Is this how the S7 Edges are or is my battery at fault somehow?
Note this was before Oreo and still is the same after.

My battery lasts 17 hours with 4 to 5 hours sot,depends as some days I hardly use my phone as much as other days

You can check your battery cycles and battery health percentage via the app "Phone info - Samsung" in the play store.
I ended up replacing the battery for that extra 5-10%+ from a new battery. Phone lasts a day or two depending on how much I use it, I'm not a heavy user but I do have Wi-Fi, 4G, go on reddit / browse etc). I charge every morning and night so pretty much only get to as low as 60% every day.

Is this original or fake guys

What's up with the battery life and "Cell standby" percentage?

I bought this 9T a few months ago. I think the SOT I had at first was about 10 hours, which is OK but I've seen better, but now after 3 months of usage it barely achieves 5 hours and the "Cell standby" rating—which I'm not sure what it stands for—is always at the top of the battery drainage list.
What's wrong with this phone? This makes no sense.

This is the cell/modem connexion 4G network.
You made use 2 times 20% of heavy data use in very short time (check it on the curve).
Check the same application you did with a wifi connexion because it can be your network 4G that is weak and lead to this heavy drain.

There are some draining problems in Miui lately. Something is causing this, that's the reason I skipped Xiaomi this time after years of using it.
"TechTablets" review of MiNote 10 also confirmed this. Basically you buy a phone with a beefy battery, but not getting the expected battery life.
I tried everything to sort this out, but it wasn't giving me any results. This was not the case with previous Xiaomi devices, like Mi8...

You said "lately". Yes but latest android 10 eu rom have a much better behavior.
Nlp wakelock is almost stopped and standby drain is lower than 0.5%/h (without AOD)
AOD at day consume some 1% additional.
MiNote10 was reported heavy consumer because of the camera needs.
they will improve at Xiaomi, not overnight but surely.
You'll come back to MIUI.
