Can anyone with >4 hours sot post screenshots of their battery life? I'm only trending at 3.5 and the only problematic things are Android system and Android os. Already used 250mah after 3 hours off the charger. Google now is turned off and used PDP already but not on system apps
Same here....on snapdrag...
Honestly my battery life is pretty add. Back on the s7 edge during build 4 of the night beta my standby time was incredible. It stayed on 100 percent for 2 hours (although I did use it for about 15 minutes thought the 2 hours) and I expected the same with this phone even though it has a smaller battery. But I can't even squeeze out 11 hours and that's with PDP (disabling all bloat and even bixby and some other small things). I'm considering a factory reset to see if that helps
Um..... My battery life on the s8 plus is the best I've ever had, on any device, with or without a custom rom. The stand by I get is incredible and screen time is always over five hours.
Already got almost 5 hours 40 min SOT and still have 40% battery left.

Yes mate! It can kill your battery very fast. I've lost 20% battery in an hour after leaving my phone in a gym locker with very poor reception with my S7 Edge. The worse the signal is, the harder that phone is working to stay connected. As a consequence, you get huge battery drain in areas with poor reception no matter which brand of phone you use.

Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk
I also have been getting 6+ hours so since I got mine this past Thursday. Just yesterday I got 7.5 hours sot over a 28 hours off the charger period. It's pretty damn good.
AOD is off. Turned off wifi and Bluetooth scanning.
Don't have bixby setup or enabled.
No disabled apps.
Have the S8+ btw
AOD is the killer - I probably hover around 5-6 hrs SOT with AOD enabled, 6+ hours easily with AOD disabled.
On my second charge I got just over 6 hours. I have the Canadian model which comes with Snapdragon. I have it set to WQHD+, AOD on, 50% brightness, changed a few things in settings, and use Package Disabler Pro to disable things I don't use. Its quite hard for me to drain the battery on this phone compared to the Note 5 I had.
Battery is better than my note 5.
I charged phone two times now every time sot at 5:30 hours with 15% left

What do you think???
With not so good cell reception (as he said) and so many wake-locks, I think it's pretty good!

Now lets see how the battery handles while playing Ingress!
I would be very happy with this if it is typical usage!
If I can actually get anywhere near this I will be very Happy.
Not as good as I was hoping, but still reasonable. That's right around what I've been averaging with my Moto X.
Not good at all.
The wake locks are horrible!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I think that is looking decent, with 13% of the battery used being on 'Cell standby' it is clear that reception was not good during the day. On my nexus 5 when cell reception is good Cell standby barely registers on the list. Max of 5% usually. So would we be looking at 6.5 hours screen time if reception is good? Also no indication that battery saving has been used or not (doesn't look like it is, on the screenshots as the notification/nav bar are not orange). Or what screen brightness set.
Who knows. It is all guessing until more reviews are out.

Yes, same with me. On my Nexus 5 with quite good reception the "mobile standby" is less than 5%.
With that in mind, we will have more than this.
And see those wake-locks, horrible.
Probably some apps, services, or accounts need to be properly setup and configured.
More battery life from that.
And for more extreme, we can use darker theme
So, I am OK with this early report, it's a GOOD BASE!

I'm seeing similar wakelocks on my nexus 5 with the last preview. The one before it had much better battery life, at least for me. I think kitkit has better battery life than lpx19D. so much for improved battery savings in 5.0.

Yeah me too. My N5 was charged fully yesterday morning and it just sat at my house untouched all day, and by the time I went to bed it was at 75%, which is pathetic. That's the last dev preview. On KK, it still would have been at 100%, or at worst 99%. I didn't investigate what was causing it, but that was bone stock without a single app installed. It shouldn't be like that. Hopefully the final version won't have that issue.

I agree but some people take these findings to heart and if the battery doesn't live up to their expectations they have an aneurysm.
Unplugged around 9am 40 min later lost 10%++ battery. Wow its like that everyday.

When there is one to flash I will. I think something hidden can be draining battery I am just not sure what it is
because when I leave my phone overnight it will drain like 1-2% battery but when I start using it streaming music that's when it goes down quick.

when I first got it got hot a lot for a couple of days and battery life was horrible. noticed a lot of my drain was the network eventhough I had full bars. sometimes I would download something and it would disappear, or a app like usps wouldn't save info. called and they offered me a replacement due to defective unit. now battery seems a little bit better but still not great, my old note 2 has about the same battery life as this phone maybe alittle better but I had that phone since it came out. lets see if the replacement is better but if its not im going get a refund.
I'll just put this here.
I'm averaging 2hr 45mins to 3 hours SOT. Is that the norm?
If you can live without active display/moto display. Battery life is much better.

22 hours off battery, 5 hours 1 minute SoT today...only Attentive Display off, everything else on, no greenify,rooted, exposed.
honestly guys, I highly doubt these are defective units. every phone forum has people screaming that yours is defective if this happens. it's simple that some people get much better battery life than others. I never in my life got battery life on any of my phones that others got, and i highly doubt I had a string of like 10 defective different android phones. my note 4 battery life was god awful, and that thing has a huge battery.
either way, i use lte all the time, I have auto upload for dropbox, i have everything syncing all the time. so of course I have bad battery life. this phone seems like it'll be just as bad as my note to be honest... but I'm not going to return it because it's not like I have a defective battery like so many people claim they think they do.

In addition to turning off the Moto Active Display. Turning off Adaptive brightness also greatly conserves battery life. Together, without those two Moto features, the device burns battery like most any device. So it's a matter of whether you want the Moto goodies or not. Turning off the Moto Actions and Moto Voice probably help to some degree also. Goodies have a cost .

5 hours of SOT? I can barely touch 3. I wonder why my phone doesn't hit 4 hours.
Hmm here is what I did today I turned off VolTE and did wipe & dalvik cache wipes. So far I think drain is smaller I will wait until battery dies and re-charge it to full again.
Today I lost 40% just by listening to music in about 1 hour and a half LOL.
I have moto notifications off facebook greenified etc.. everything I could try. What I did just now was turn off adaptive brightness.
Right before any draining starts only 12 hours after unplugged 20min later ? Is this ok or not ?

3 hours, only my second day but thats with bluetooth/wifi on all day + full brightness (auto) + I live in a poor signal area
I am sure It will get better, its definatly far better than my galaxy s6.
Possibily very slightly worse than the Z3 but too early to tell.
3hrs SoT, WiFi all day, down to 29% now... Not stellar.
I've gotten 6 hours on my 3rd day, but I spent around 3 hours underground, so flight mode was switched on. Overall, I've spent a couple hours listening to Spotify and redditing for the most part of those 6hrs. I am pretty satisfied with the battery life, it's just a little bit worse compared to what I was getting on Z3.
5 hours in typical use with wifi or 3G data on.
~4.5 Hrs. Posted some screenshots -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63442175&postcount=97
Mine will soon hit > 5.5 Hrs though
So far so good for me. Before my Z5, I has a OnePlus One (known for its stellar battery life). Yup, the Z5 battery seems to drain faster than the OnePlus One when using it, but on the other hand I noticed it seems to use less power than my OnePlus on bluetooth + screen off, in the car. I always listen to the same podcast when I go to work in the morning (it takes 1 hour), and my Z5 lost only 2% this morning (from 100% to 98%). My OnePlus One would usually lose 4-5%.
I received my Z5 yesterday though, so I'll let it settle down a bit too. I will report back in a few days
Awesome device though. It's well built, it feels very premium compared to my older phones (a cheap OnePlus One that I liked a lot and an ugly but very good Galaxy Note 3)
Today I'm at 2hrs sot, and down to 40%. I've been offered a full refund, and I'll be taking the phone back on Monday.
I'm very disappointed in the z5, and perplexed how others seem to have great battery life.
Today so far and i was sat nav'ing for half an hour

Same is true for most phones, 2G or 3G networks use less battery. But running in 3G is like owning a Porsche 911 Turbo but never taking it of 3rd gear.

I wonder if android system drain is same as other model. Seems like att also has the same issue, but one can dream.
Through the two days I've had mine, reports from other models have held true - Android System is the highest on the battery use list at around 30-35%. That said, I'm still getting 4.5 - 5 hours of screen on time, so the high Android System use isn't taking a major toll on the battery life.
Wait a week before answering this question. Everyone is going to be using their phones A LOT in the first couple days (tons of screen-on time) and in the meantime many things will be syncing and caching in the background for the first time.
Also, don't worry about what your battery stats says unless you are actually getting bad battery life. Android system notoriously is getting a bad rap right now even if the user's battery life is fine. Just leave it alone and enjoy the phone.
Cheers
OK! After a few days with brightness at around 15%, location on battery saving, data on overnight and not Wi-Fi, with email, texting, news, and tapa pulling data, am getting very good results. Looks like I can easily get 6+hours SOT.

Mine has been horrible since I got the phone 4 days ago. I lose bout 10% an hour or more. Not sure what's causing the drain. Phone stays slightly warm and google play services and android system are the top apps taking up the battery. If it stays this way, I will be forced to go back to V10 which gave me excellent battery life with same setup I have as S7Edge.
I am experiencing the same. I lose 10 percent an hour. I hope it changes.

I average about 3% an hour loss while at work (i.e. no wifi, bluetooth connected to Wear watch, and minimal SOT). So after 9 hours, I was around 73%. I'm getting about 5.5 hours of screen on time with playing games. Overall pretty good considering I have high-accuracy GPS enabled and no other power saving features enabled. I did disable a lot of app permissions for all the apps I have installed (i.e. I have ~250 apps installed) so not sure if that affected the battery life much.
I too am losing about 10%/hr. While I am impressed with the screen on time, I can get about 5.5hrs, the standby drain is crazy.

I don't know what you guys have running on your phones, but I'm not seeing anything close to that.
Mine dropped 15% in 8 hours overnight last night and about 30 minutes of screen time, with always on screen enabled. Which I consider acceptable. If I wanted to enhance that I could probably turn always on off, and enable greenpower to limit 4G when screen is off.
On St Patricks day (parade day), I was out for 6 hours, with 30 mins of screen time (just texting and pictures) and it drained from 100% to 92%.
The longest I've gone with out plugging it in so far has been about 15 hours, and that got me down 45% with 2 hours of screen on time. FAR better than what I got on my previous phone, the S5.

I'm getting an average of 7 hrs sot. This thing's a beast.
It's alright, 30hrs runtime, 11hrs SOT, 50% brightness mostly Web browsing (notice lightning+ 15%). I can make it work.
I got 12hrs of battery until it was completely dead on my initial 3 days of use. Android system was at 40-45% which seems high. Wiped system cache, disabled Nearby Device scanning, and turned off sync for a couple useless accounts and battery seems to have gotten way better. I will see how battery drain is overnight and tomorrow.
Side note: I always keep on Wi-Fi, Location, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Always On Display. Disabling these features seems non-realistic for a normal user.
~1.5 days normal usage right now. I'm sure it could be 2 if I put it down more often, or didn't work in a bad service area.
Everything is always on. Location, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Auto brightness.
After a few days, mine is really really good. Hardly any standby discharge at all, and easily make it through the day and charge anywhere between 50-65% at night.

If you have wifi, throw your phone into airplane mode, then turn wifi back on. Wifi calling will be forced on and save you a lot of battery.
Not too bad. It's a lot better than the S5.
And how long it takes to charge is great too

I have literally next to zero standby drain. You have something installed that is doing that to your phone.
I notice there isn't an open thread to talk about battery life yet, and now that the phone is actually shipping, want to hear (and see) what people are getting on that 2800 mAh juicer, and how it does against the Galaxy S7, the LG G4, and other devices.

This all wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the application called "shut app".. With the s7, edge I was managing about 4hr30 min screen on time and then I installed the app shut app, it closes out all these silly background processes but still allows you to get notifications from Facebook and Instagram.
Once I installed the app the s7 edge had amazing battery life and went increased to about 6 hours screen on.
Now comparing this g5 to the s7 edge, the s7 edge had a major battery drain issue from Android system!! How else do you explain this screen on time doing just as well as the monster battery the s7 edge has??
I obviously have every vibration off, WiFi is only on while I'm at home, I have adguard installed and it just got updated to milestone and I no longer see it in the battery section affecting battery life. I have insurance on my phone so I turn Google location reporting off. I turn off all usage reporting in Google also. I have sync always on, I have too for work. I only have one account syncing, that's my Google.

It was just at 3 hours when I posted those shots. I won't be at my "average" daily use for a few days, but by comparison for me, I was running my droid turbo through a lot of videos and internets same time last weekend, and it was dead by 2pm. So I'm thinking at worse, I haven't compromised time between charges.

Auto. I rarely do anything to conserve battery life. I'll report back once I have a "normal" day as well. Probably Monday.

whats your screen on time ?
Terrible battery life so far
My battery life is terrible ... I have LG-H820 and after setting it up i'm barely touching it because i'm busy with something ... Even did a factory reset and set it up from scratch again ... No dice ... Look below:
EDIT: My "Screen ON" time is only 41 min.

You have an app that is destroying your battery life. I'd look into it. I've been seeing very positive things for the moment about this phone both here and in forums and reddit.

Yep, some app is trashing my battery ... But the funny thing is that i have no apps installed besides "GSam Battery Monitor". Bone stock and i've disabled some google preinstalled apps (Gmail, Hangouts, Photos, PlayMusic, Google Docs, Sheets) and all of the ATT apps that can be disabled. Not sure what is calling this com.lge.ia.task.informant process that is trashing my battery. Obviously, i've logged in with Google account so i can get access to PlayStore and i've configured my outlook.com email as an Exchange account. My outlook.com account is a must ...
Right now i suspect that the problem is related to the com.lge.exchange (com.lge.ia.task.informant seem as part of it?) but i do not see any problems with my outlook.com account on any other device (i've confiscated my brother's s7 edge for my testing yesterday and today and i've violated my work rules by adding personal email on my work iPhone 6s plus).
Anybody else with this rouge com.lge.ia.task.informant process/service problem?
