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

Ya my note 3 did the same thing, i thought it was tye battery caz of the 8 dollar price. That is the conclusion i came up with too the phone was never really hot and 2 of those batteries swelled up making them unusable. I did upgrade the battery didnt have any more swell. I would like to know how that does happen though, i thought i was the onlu person that ran into this im glad read this post and hopefully can get an answer as im very curious if it was the type of battery or if was kernel. I cant remember the kernel i had but thought might be from putting too much speed in my rom.

Yeah. I want to know this too. These days i have been swapping between stock and cm 12.1 and on stock the battery amp ranges from 1200mah to 1800mah but on cm12.1 it always stayed at 1800mah and also phone got hot. It may be due to that or it may be because discharged this battery once to zero and then recharged it to 100 and then jump charged a couple of times. A lot of factors and this one was abused a lot so I can't put my finger on exactly what I did that caused this.

X Play Battery problems? Should I be worried?

I just got my phone and the battery life looks like s***

Note: I haven't charged to a 100% yet. Just got the phone and it had 25%~ battery off the box

So what is the problem?

If you check the screenshots uploaded by other people about their battery life, you'll see that mine is WAY lower.

I'll test it out for a day or two. If the battery remains like this, I'll ask for a replacement.

This thread is so foolish. You got a phone with 25% battery, have probably been playing around with it, syncing everything, having the phone settle in, haven't fully charged it, and you're complaining about battery?
Do you also give 1 star reviews in the play store because an app that clearly says needs root, won't work on your non rooted phone? EVERY phone has to settle in. No phone is going to give you 5 hours screen on time with 25% battery from a fresh out of the box setup. Your expectations are way too high lol.
Give it time before you complain man, come on.

Hey, everyone
I am sorry, I haven't bought a new phone in 4 years. I had forgotten about how to bench phones. I wasn't complaining, I just wanted to know if I should be worried.

Just give it a day or two. It'll come around

Battery wear of your Oneplus one

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

[Battery] Samsung Galaxy S8 behavior: how does it work?

I've mostly used iPhone until now, and as a big fan of Steve Jobs (not Apple) for years I was both satisfied but also incredibly getting bored and dissatisfied with the latest non-upgraded iPhones so I decided to switch. Boy was I wrong...
The reason why I mention the iPhone is that, since this is either illegal or highly aggressive against the user, the iPhone was always ULTRA stable, in that battery, phone, temperature was always linear (with of course slow decay of the battery) no matter what I installed or modified.
Now I've had a Galaxy S8 for 6 months, and while I didn't root it (except ADB-enabled it) or even updated it to Oreo, the Galaxy S8 is constantly changing my settings but also performance and temperature are changing from periods to periods without any inputs from me. And now, while I could except from 26h to 40h of usage (while using the same apps and settings), my battery has been going haywire and ****ed, and I can feel the S8 getting hot quicker than usual.

As you can see here, the Android System (listed as DeX) and the kernel which is constantly wakelocking, are screwing my battery without any changes on my end whatsoever (Pokemon Go usage is as expected and usual). A month ago, it was the Phone Radio screwing over my battery without any input, but still it had better battery. My question is not so much how to fix the battery usage (it partly is but I know how convoluted this can get with Package disabling actions) but rather: why the heck does the smartphone, samsung, google or god know what ****ing tempers with my settings and usages and suddenly the behaviour of the system changes screwing my battery despite every effort I make everytime to optimised it and disable non-system packages?

I gather XDA is not to best place to get answers. Why the heck isn't there any clear-cut list with description for popular smartphones and versions somewhere?
