Screen time on battery life?

Just wondering how many screen time hours are you guys noticing on your ICS tablets? I'm getting about 8 hrs. Seems it lasted a bit longer on honeycomb and had way better standby time. Maybe I'm just going crazy, could be a possibility also I guess.

Hi there, I am very lucky to get seven hrs, that's reading emails and browsing - was much longer with Honeycomb

With ICS I almost hit 9hrs one time. On the average I get 8+ hours. With HC the average was 7 hours. I may be wrong but I experience noticeably larger battery life. Still the issues with ICS like user agent string of stock browser, app crashes and overall system stability bug me.

just fixed the battery drain issue and now averaging 8 hrs 45 min with very minor drain on sleep mode/standby

Also try the Battery Saver app, it reduced the screen power drain from over 50% to about 30%, a 20% savings!

[Question] How battery life really is on marshmellow?

hello,
i ordered a moto x play two days ago and i will get my device today or tomorrow. Now i am not sure if i should upgrade to marshmallow. Regarding to some posts here the battery life seems to suffer from the update. Is this true? Do you have the same battery life with 6.0 as with 5.1.1 ? For me battery life is kind of crucial. I chose the moto because of the good battery.
I'd love to know your opinion.
Thanx in advance.

Battery life seemed a bit lower on 6.0 than on Lollipop for a few days. Now, it's stabilized, and I'd say it's almost as good

No the battery performance hasn't gone down but has instead remained same or been better now.

It's been great for me. 7-8 hrs sot with stock kernel and now on track to get 10 with Squid kernel.

I get 10+ hours SOT . With stock mm.. dual sim and mobile data.

I usually play around with the autostarts app and titanium backup. I guess, i can root my device and i will then be able to optimize the phone i like with these tools.
Thanx for your answers. I still would like to get some more votes.
regards.

I think the only difference MM can make will be due to optimizing certain apps. Its sucha shame that google play services cant be optimized. I am finding its better than LP.
Offtopic - I had a S5 (g900h) with LP 5.0.1 stock and samsung had this optimization option which lead to an awesome battery life. This is why I believe that can be the only thing which can make it better

It depends on your usecase. If you are constantly on the phone, they won't differ much. If your phone is screen-off most of the time, Marshmallows Doze mechanism can save you a ton of battery life (assumping you jumpstart it with Naptime or similar). It could possibly be matched or even overcome if you REALLY fine tune a lollipop setup with Amplify, but from a technical standpoint doze is far better, because the OS controls when the device wakes up, not the apps themselves. Also, the most recent (best?) kernels will only be for MM.

Battery drains during standby mode. Overnight battery drops upto 3-5 % is it normal? I am on 5.1.1

2-3-4% is expected for 10 hour . see if location and wifi are turned on in advanced setting. it depends on the apps you are running. post screenshot.

That's absolutely great.
It means if 4 percent decreases in 8 hours it's about 1 percent in 2 hours. Me too has same result although in between 8 hours I took a 3 minute call and my alarm rung.

Agreed, also would be good if those who tried it can post a comparison about how much was lasting battery with 5.1.1 and now with 6.0 on same scenario (I mean apps, settings, etc)

befor update i think battery life getting better ,but after one night and a some program ,it's show only 22 hours battery life ,,,, hey sami what you think about batterylife .?
i totaly disapoint...

Installed French XEF yesterday at 15:00 (03:00PM)
Popped it off the charger at 16:00
Now : 08:00, the next day
43% charge
16h 8m on battery
1h 44m SOT
Maybe 2% loss overnight.
Disabled Google Apps and Samsung bloat via Settings => Applications
WIFI : ON
Location : GPS, WIFI and Mobile
Brightness : 25% + Auto
Turned OFF LTE : Only 3G speeds in my area
Action Launcher 3

There's not so much to do fellaz. We've got a 2500 mah battery giving juice to a monster cpu and monster useless display. These things swallow harder than sasha grey.

System calculate time left on battery based on your usage in 7 days, if you use it a lot then system will shows that you have short life of battery, if you use moderate or low, then you would see longer time of usage. So You should check your real time on battery, when you use in similar way than in on 5.1.1 and then compare to 6.0.1. For me at the moment i see much better battery performance.

Heavy use. 40-70% brightness about 1h more SOT than Lollipop.

The battery life for now is not so impressive, not more than L

One more thing to notice is that the battery fares better in wifi. But suffers a lot in Lte or in 3g mobile network. I get no more than 3 hrs of SOT when connected to mobile network in lollipop, but 4.5 to 5 hrs in wifi. Could anyone manage to get better battery in mobile network in MM?? The main battery suckers in network are google services and the annoying mobile radio active bug in lollipop. Are these two things fixed in MM touchwiz rom?? Confirmation is appreciated..

The doze feat is deff working. With WiFi on all night and apps open I lost 2%.
no sight of the R.A.B but some say they are exparience it.

How do you guys check whether Doze is actually working or not? Is there any specific part of the settings where I could check it?
Thanks!

By now your phone battery would have deteriorated for those who have had it a while that whatever gain MM has would be negligible.
For those of us who got it at release day, battery health would be about ~95%.

Indeed, but no one is asking for Xperia Z3 battery either, where I could get around 8+ hours SOT with Amplify, Greenify and a few other tweaks. I no we can't let the battery drop slower when using the phone, but the main complain is the standby drop, which would give us more SOT if we could lower it. Really, my phone should not use power on anything else than be ready for calls, text and else the apps I set it to, like Snapchat, Messenger and so on when in standby and you can get this with Amplify and Greenify. On 5.1.1 I managed to get around 0-1% drop over 8 hours of sleep, so as I got more standby time, I would eventually get more SOT too, which made the phone still last a day.
The problem now with the high standby drain is that you can't really feel a difference (might be kind of ironically here) between using the phone or having it in standby as it still drains hell a lot.

nothing has changed in marshmallow since 5.1.1 . I am using for 2 days. the battery consumption is the same as lollipop. (i did clean flash of france mm)

I've noticed App Optimisation is using 7% of my battery.... Cell standby 3% and Android system 8% with screen nicking 50%.
Seems good, but i'm disabling App Optimisation and comparing over the next few days.
Haven't experienced any drain from mobile or radio signals or any other bugs.

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?

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

You're the only one with 3h SOT, an app is draining your battery.

Battery Life

Hey guys,
how's your battery life going? I'm rather pleased with it so far. This is my first day with the phone on stock with no mods or special battery apps.
Can you guys recommend a battery app to restrict background leeching?
Cheers

Screen-on time? I got on my first charge 30hrs. off the charger and 5,5 hrs. SOT with 7% left.

From 92% to 10%, with hardcore installing, making nearly 100 photos and some videos, and gaming, running tests, im get more than 4 hour SoT.
Stock OS, no mods.

60% left, 3.2h sot, only wifi (no sim card), location on

First full cycle. Im pretty pleased with the battery. Stock rom and kernel. Magisk as root and no battery saving apps. Didnt even use battery saver once it hit 15%.
7hr sot with moderate usage. A little bit on clash of clans. quite a bit of web browsing on chrome. Used facebook, messenger, tandem and other apps quite a bit. Also used wifi 90% of the time and LTE the other

Naw, normal day, mix (wifi and 4g).
It's about the same like 3T but I will sell it.

Very impressed with battery backup.
First charge (full) since I received the device, everything stock.
Medium to high usage over 36-38 hours, setting up, installing apps, gaming a little, videos, browsing. Mostly on WiFi, maybe a couple of hours on 4G:
15% battery remaining

After today's oxygen update my battery has gotten significantly better. It may also be a case of the battery settling in after a few days. I went from losing 30% in 2 hours idle in my pocket yesterday to losing 30% in 9 hours using it throughout work today. Color me impressed. And this is coming from the Moto Z play. A battery beast!!!
