Rediculous Battery Life!!!

This thing is a beast. I have 30% battery left and I have been using it for 41 hours without charging it. And I use it pretty heavy on sundays and on 3g all day saturday. I think it's got the best battery life of any device i've ever used. How are other peoples battery life?

Can you post your battery usage please? Just interested what you've been using in those 41 hours. Seems incredible!

I can't find a screenshot app that works and yes it's rooted.

From what I read you need the SDK to take screen shots.

This is about the exact same results I get. I had about 30% left yesterday after two days and 4-5 hrs of usage.

I pushed about 36 hours before the device shut itself off. Medium to Heavy use (lots of browsing, some games, all around tinkering and playing in numerous apps), and a decent amount of that was standby.
Over-all, I'm very impressed with it and it has completely replaced my laptop (sold it before I got the Xoom, actually). I was actually having a hardtime leaving it off the charger because of how used to I am having to plug my devices in after a few hours of heavy use.

I did a real world test for my xoom this weekend. I used it as i "normally" would. when I wanted to do things, I just did - browse, played games, etc. I used it saturday night to show pictures of a new house to lots of people. Basically, how I would use it if I wasn't specifically testing battery life. Long story short, i went all weekend without charging. Charged fully at 4pm Friday. plugged in Sunday at 11pm with 20% or so still left.

with all due respect that's not accurate. A more accurate usage of batt life is 'display usage'
I get about 7 hours batt life. I was at least expecting 9 hours

9 is a little too much i'd say. It really depends on what app you use and how much power the cpu takes out of the battery. For example, simple web browsing and apps aint gonna run on 2 cores. Gaming on the other will though. And real life usage is really what matters.

That's about what mine lasts for, and I love it!! Its a nice break after my incredible only lasts for like 20 hours MAX with setcpu. XOOM for the win.

I try to keep it off the charger as much as possible....i let it run down to about 30-25% give or take before I charge it. I want to keep this battery in as good a shape as I can.

My Xoom has awesome battery life... I am satisfied completely.

Impressive screen in time!

I'm very impressed with the screen on time so far on this phone! I am getting on average 7+ hours of SOT which is so much better than any Android phone I have ever used. Anyone else having great battery life on this phone?

Wuuuuuut, 7hrs is astonishing

I also got couple days ago almost same. It was 6hours and still 28% battery left. WiFi & BT off, GPS at battery saver mode. Power consumption mode was performance and using LTE/4G. Lot of better than example Huawei P9.

I dont know either. Im really suprised. Havent ever seen phone with 3000mah battery and this great battery life. Dont know how much better is Li-Po battery than Li-Ion. Manufacters started using Li-Po's on this year after Q1/2. Ofcourse i think that newer battery type (Li-Po) would be also better but questions is how much better it is on paper?

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.

Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.

I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome

how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

Horrendous battery life - Can someone help? (15% in 10 hours, 30 MINUTES SoT)

Can someone please help me with my battery life? My phone drained 15% in 10 hours with barely 30 minutes of actual use.
TMobile Galaxy S8
Nothing disabled except Lookout.
Screen resolution on highest
Auto brightness
Accounts: 2 GMails, 1 Yahoo, 1 IMAP, 1 Samsung
NFC/Bluetooth off (for these 10 hours)
WiFi/data on
Scanning for nearby devices off
WiFi on sleep off (similar results with it on)
Here is my battery info, from settings and GSAM:
imgur.com/a/apn1f/layout/grid

Drained 15% In 10hrs so you have 85% left and you think it's bad???how much do you think it's a normal drain for say an hour idle?because in your case it drained 1.5% with 30mn sot. I think you can tweak to drain something like 0.5% per hour

not sure if trolling :/

Maybe he means the battery went at 15 % and lost 85%

Turn Auto Brightness off. I've found that to help. With the phone brightness set to 50%, I've found it to be brighter @ that same setting than my old Note 4. At least it seems that way, and it's plenty bright. Love this screen!.

Here's my battery life and usage for 2 days.
It's great.

I'm guessing he meant 15% left in 10 hours. With only 30 minutes of use which would be terrible. My advice would do a factory reset and try again.

If you can't/dont want to see the picture, she used 57% in 11hr30m. 43% left and 3hr49m SoT.
My phone right now (haven't charged since picture in the original post)
46% remaining (used 54% in 21hr57m)
21hr57m on battery
2hr19m SoT
I believe I was on mobile data longer (she was mainly using WiFi today), but I feel like these are two completely different phones in terms of battery life. Is there seriously nothing wrong with my battery life?

Didn't you post this on Reddit and get the same responses?

Newly bought S8 and a 4.5h battery life. Is is normal?

So I got my GS8 yesterday and this is the battery life I get with:
AOD off
No battery saving profile
Wifi on all the time
4G network but no data
Automatic brightness
No gaming, about an hour of video playback
Since I can't share outside links I'll just write the info here: (From 100% to 3%)
Last charged: 10h ago
Screen on time: 4 hours and 30 minutes (812mAh)
Android System: CPU total: 3 hours and 11 minutes (312mAh)
This is not even close to what I expected, do you think this is normal?

Normal. It's happened with both my S8 and my G6. Your battery life will get better in 3-5 days. Android is setting stuff up and optimizing battery life behind the scenes.

You bought it yesterday. Give it time to settle.
Also, turn off automatic Samsung cloud backup, it's on by default.

What did you expect from a 3000mah battery? It all depends how you use the phone, i can empty the battery in an hour if I want.
4.5h is more than respectable, if you want more lower the brightness and use a black theme.

I expected the sot other users (like people from this forum) get. This battery life I got is bkarely better than that of my 3-year-old Xperia Z1!

Another question guys. Is a 6% drain over 7 hours of being idle normal? Wifi on and AOD off.

It pretty much. Also depend on how many apps you installed. If you dont want it run much, add it to smart manager sleep list. My idle about 3hrs/1% man. This is my battery current round and apps list. About 10% wasted battery because I did clear davikcache a few times

This should be normal. with AOD on, my phone takes about 2% per hour, but when browsing webpages, every 1.5 hours costs about 10% of power, watching videos should take more. also, the 1080p and 2k resolution have notable differences. so it seems that the white-background screen cuts down most of battery life, i think.

hmm, i turned my phone as power-saving as possible - brightness is less than half of the bar, suspended all background apps, and FHD resolution. also, after some days of usage, the system should be able to auto balance the power consumption by sleeping some unused apps and some Samsung's system services maybe. so i don't think this is an issue.

Dont believe every sot someone posts here, i've seen a few 8 or 9 hour sot's but i'll bet the brightness was as dim as can be and they used a black theme. Or they were probably reading a book on the phone which uses no cpu at all or using the battery saving feature.
Your z1 also had a 3000mah battery, yet it had a smaller/dimmer screen, lower resolution, less ram, much slower cpu/gpu. How can you be complaining?

yeah, you're right, the AMOLED screen with high brightness and white color is the real battery killer. also BTW, does the 'sot' mean 'screen-on time'? sorry for my bad English...

Yup screen on time

4.5h is more than enough ! I am coming from a S6E+ it used to give me 2h SOT MAX ! Hated my life with it.

Do you plat Pokemon Go? I find a lot of people I see complaining about battery do, that game is very poorly optimized for battery consumption.

Screen on time

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 Honor 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

On first charge I got 5.5 -6 hrs of SOT may vary after few charge cycles. Will let you know.

But for honor 10 the sot for webbrowsing also states 12h but seems more liie 6-7 indeed. (maybe its cause my battery is not calibrated yet, im still on first charge) , i hope it gets 10h on wifi.

Have never got over 6 hours SOT

my app (accubattery) seems to display 8 hours of SOT while browsing on wifi atm.
and not sure if its because i have turned on battery saving but past 2 days i get 9-10 hours browsing on wifi.
that seems right for a 3400 battery for it specs.

Got about 7 + hours of SOT ..

What is approximately the SOT when using i) mobile data and ii) two SIM cards?
Sent from my Huawei Mate S using Tapatalk

I'm getting a bit more, but mostly over WiFi, ralely on data (4G), sometimes I charge the phone at night before going to sleep (10:30pm), go to sleep with my phone near to me and check it several times during the night, and it reaches 4pm with 30% of battery, so I feel like in normal situation more than 14 hours of charge and around 8 hours of use.

installed a new app for battery measurement called 3c battery widget.
according to this thing i probably get around 8 hours of sot as well. (wifi browsing brightness set not too high)

I can get max 3-4 hours SOT. 4G active all the time except when I sleep ~8 hours. GPS allowed. No wifi, not playing games at all. Using Facebook, messenger, 9gag and sometimes navigation.
Record is 2.3 hours SOT at 54% battery so with same usage I could get about 5 hours. Usually 1 SOT hour = 25% battery for me.
