What is your SOT ?

im getting arround 3:15 ,3:15 hours and its so awefull , how much do you get and what to do ?

You'll find that SOT will be a wide range without at least some defined criteria to follow. While usage (games and videos will simply murder battery) and cell coverage will play a huge role in the disparity, you'll also find a difference based on other factors like ROM (stock vs. AOSP/CM), kernel, time off the charger, phone's % awake time, etc. With all that said, 3-4 hrs seems to be the avg for many users who run AOSP/CM, have bad cell coverage, or otherwise poorly optimized phones. Those who do some optimizing (Greenify, Amplify, custom kernel, etc.) will find 4-5 hrs on avg. Those who do some heavy optimizing with their phone may find 5-6 hrs.

Thank you for replying , do you have any tips on optimization , im on stock 6.0.1 rooted , no kernel (i tried to install franken but couldnt make the wifi work)

I managed to get 7hs, but once. It really depends on your usage. My Pure is pretty much modified (lowered resolution, underclocked, limited cores, using mods and apps).

well, might be 12-16 hour for normal use
stock Rom, with root
stock kernel with 5core offline during screen off

Never hit 3 hours and I am not a power user by any means I gave up trying to fix it months ago. I am completely stock as well.

I am looking for MXPE too as it has Unlockable bootloader but after reading its bad reviews about its battery life makes me no go for MXPE.
PS: Currently Owned LG G2 gaving me about 4-5 avg SOT, 7 hours SOT With Extreme Mods(Cust.kernel,greenify,servicely etc).

I have my Moto X Style since a month now. I use Greenify to shut down apps when the phone is about to rest for a few hours while I'm working. I'm not rooted, so completely stock.
I don't have a screen on time, but think the battery is far to be so bad. Coming from an Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 5.5, the Moto X Style (or Pure Edition) battery is better. And the fact that with a power charger it charges so quickly (70 minutes or so), battery is not an issue at all for me so far.
Phone is quick and great and I think the camera does a killer job, better than I thought it would. Screen is awesome as well.

what are your cpu settings and all that?

4-5 hours on stock MM

Best I've ever gotten, the phone shutdown less than a minute after this screenshot... Just over 10 hours of use, including about an hour and a half of airplane mode, and nearly 4.5 hours screen on time. This took keeping brightness way down and I was lucky not to have poor signal during the entire time.
Sad part is this seems impressive for this device... I came from a Moto G 2015 and it would go 18 hours of use with 6-7 hours of SOT easily, or a more typical day of 3.5-4 hours SOT over 16 hours of use and around 50% battery remaining. I never really worried about battery life on that device like I do now.
Seriously debating on going back, selling my MXPE well it still has decent value, and either grabbing a G4 or waiting for the new Nexus devices.

Around 5 hr.

Screen on Time

This device is getting better everyday. Power of 4000mAh and the awesome RAM management coupled with few regular battery saving tweaks has given me 10hrs SOT today.
That is with regular push notifications, Whatsapp, some youtube, instagram, photo edits, browsing, 20mins of VR .
This is so satisfying.
Screenshots attached.

Hi can you share which tweaks you use for battery life? Will be very very appreciated, anyway great sot! hah Nougat, too much people hate Nougat because is bad optimlazing for battery

Disable HiBoard, Since EMUI allows you to uninstall bloatware do that. Uninstall all those applications that you don't need/use.
I would suggest not using Facebook and messenger app. /
Go into battery settings and use the "Lock screen cleanup" to prevent apps from running in background after screenlock. This will prevent notifications from showing up so select only those apps that you don't want notifications for.
You can also take that one step further by using apps like Brevent (Android 7.0 added new permission called RUN_IN_BACKGROUND, which can restrict background behavior of apps(blocking broadcast receivers, services, etc.). However this permission is fully hidden and there's no way to activate it besides using adb commands. ) Play around and see. If you have rooted your device, you won't have to use the Adb commands.
Good luck

Quite possible. If we get a custom Kernel with EAS and/or more governors, we can push even further by controlling the cores.
Long way to go.

I just got 6 hrs and 20 min of SOT over a period of 22 hrs of usage from 100 percent to 15 percent. No power saving mode was activated. Also no apps were set for auto clean on screen lockup. Listened to music to through speaker for about 1 hr.
I use fb app, messenger lite, Instagram, Tapatalk and others.
So, this phone is perfectly capable of delivering of 6 hrs of SOT over a day.
If anyone has got light usage, it can easily last atleast upto 30 hrs.

True. 6 hrs is like a standard on this device. Anything more is depending on the usage pattern.

It's pretty impressive that the Honor 8 Pro has such a good battery life.

Thats great

Indeed the battery optimise with time and usage. Anything above 6 hrs is acceptable. It has more battery but due to 2k screen it consumes some additional battery.
Here is SS of 6X battery
I easily pass 6-7 hrs on moderate usage. Around 6 on heavy usage. 8 pro is with more battery but larger screen and 2k display Consumes extra there still 6-7 hrs is ok.

battery backup sucks.. but why?

i get barely 3-4h of SOT ? i need some seriously suggestion.. how on earth people manage to get 6-7h SOT? SAME 950F SAME VARIANT..BUT how? just how? what I'm doing wrong? im on renovate 7.2 with xceed kernel..i tried notorious either...that sucks too.. even batstock..not offending..just expressing my sorrow.. please help
i have only 30 apps installed whereas people with so many apps? i never play games... YES I'VE DEBLOATED UNNECESSARY APPS EITHER...

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.

What 's about your SOT?

Please share your screen on time in single charge .
Thank you guys.

I hit nearly 10 hours yesterday. Todays charge I'm on 7h 48m with 18% left
All on miui.eu build.

6 to 7 hours, miui 10.2.8

10h-12h medium usage. no gaming but stream a lot. 2 weeks old device.

7 and half hours max with gaming included

I'll tell you ASAP 'cause I've bought it today

Its 6-7 hours. LTE range is not good in my area so its around 6 and half on 4G. When on 2G or 3G and WiFi , SOT goes beyond 7 and half. My usage is browsing only, no gaming.

5h to 6 with miui 10.3.6

what's wrong with me, i can't go over 4h on sot ?? miui 10.3.6

Debloat MiUi. USE LTE ONLY ON ONE SIM. Select 2G on other.

Mine

I was initially getting ridiculously good SoT, easily above 10h while GPS, Bluetooth, Sync etc. all open.
Since last week, Play Services started to eat battery a lot. Still well above 7-8h SoT, and it's more than enough, but it's weird :/

I've red somewhere that it could be responsible of some battery drain.. Go in battery settings and turn off any background process for the gcam.

I'm absolutely freaked and happy!

12hs screen

Finally I got this phone.
And I'm happy with that.

A good stable rom for battery backup?

Hi all
I thought I'd ask the experts about what are in your opinion some good roms for battery backup?
I'm currently on stock MIUI Global 11.0.5.0 (PFGMIXM) but I'm not much satisfied with the battery backup (5-6hours SOT).
I need some stable firmware since I use my phone mostly for work, no gaming, no social media, just phone calls, messaging and some light youtube usage.
Thanks!

Ion OS is brilliant, especially for battery - sourceforge.net/projects/i-o-n/files/device/xiaomi/lavender/ Around 10-11 hours SOT.

Miui right now just being laggy and jerky sometimes with animation, thus pixel based cutom rom just some having like miui and some is dont. I prefer evolution x on latest build, which smooth operation per my multitasking usage(on stock kernel obviously), whilst the battery just doing better other than resurection remix, pixel experience etc.

Could you be more specific about how long the battery lasts, I mean that if you are using your phone for like 4-5 days then 5-6h of SOT is quite normal for this phone but if you meant just one day then it should be about 10-11h of SOT as there will be less energy consumed by things like cellural network.
I had pretty good battery backup with POSP by AmulayaX but i found out that slow-motion isn't working so i switched to StagOS (unofficial EAS by Jimgsey) and i like this rom but i have some small issues and i consider switching to official.

Someone already suggested you to try Ion Official for Redmi Note 7 as it is EAS & feature rich also. But for more you can try Bliss ROM as well. Last but not the least LineageOS 17.1 Official. I'm currently using Bliss ROM. It is the best in all others upto now i have tried.

U can't reach 10 h SOT by 2 days on battery.
Calculate 0,5 %/h idle drain
2 days 48h - 5 hours Active drain = 43 h idle time
43 x 0,5 = 21,5 %
so round about 20% battery is lost in idle time
so 80 % for active drain.
Charging battery at 15%
80-15 = 60% left for active drain
On mostly all roms i tested i get an active drain by 10% per hour
Wud be for u 6 hours SOT
Seems normal drain with ur MIUI
But aosp roms are so much faster and mutitasking so much better compared to MIUI.
I only got 3 GB model and there no way back to MIUI

I gave PixelE+ a try but I'm experiencing less battery backup than stock (and some random freezes too).
I'll try ION or Xiaomi.eu in the coming days.
Meanwhile what about changing kernel? Any good recommendations please?

for me changing kernel isnt a game changer
its all about SOT, screen brightness for sure and good working deep sleep.
Screen is biggest power consumer.
Kernel maybe change covernor and undervolt cpu. sure this brings a lil power. but trust me it makes just a very lil differece. u cant compare ur drain because ur usage isnt same.
if wanna judge a kernels power consumtion u have to do all the same.
watching 2 hours youtube, play same game aso with same screen brightness with same wifi state aso.
i bet theres no "big" difference.

I'm currently on Pixel and I can make 4h SOT in 2 days. I don't play games or use YouTube. Just phone calls, whatsapp, browser, emails and I'm always on dual sim.
With stock MIUI I used to reach 5-6h SOT in 2 days so with my personal usage Pixel is worse in battery life compared to stock MIUI.
I'm thinking of trying something like Xiaomi.EU now since it's based on MIUI stock...

As i say, for me there are just few differences in battery life from rom to rom.
Miui is slow and bloated compared to non miui based custom rom.
When u just installed new rom u have more drain cause of trying out the rom. U have more usage compared to ur old rom. Lets get rom settle for a while before judge.
At least all rom take power. All rom need display. I think display always takes same power in every rom when u got same brightness.
At home in ur wlan mostly watching YouTube u get better battery (maybe under 8% per hour drain maybe less) than navigating in the sun with mobile data (cost 12% per hourand more) battery

I'm with you however I'm currently on Xiaomi.eu 11 (debloated) and battery backup is much better than Pixel. I hit 6h SOT on the first run, expected to improve in the coming days after a few charging cycles.
Same usage, the exact same apps running.
