Do you think, the battery life and performance have degraded after oreo update(maybe may patch)?
Coz mine has surely degraded i need to charge my phone twice a day and games like asphalt 8 is also lagging
Tried factory reset too

Time to use custom roms. stock rom is trash ?
For me, latest May update increased battery life a bit. Here's pics of discharge 100%-20%. I could easily go to 7hrs or even 8hrs but I never let the phone discharge below 20%.
It all depends on usage, but in your case i think you have some wakelock in background that drain your battery, or some power hungry app. Install BBS or Gsam and check what is the cause for huge battery drain. And thing that most people forget to tell is that bad charging will ruin your battery pretty fast I personally never let it below 20% or above 80-85%. So if you let the battery discharge to 0% almost every time your battery will become bad faster. And games will drain battery very fast, you will get around 3hrs of SoT if you play games all the time.

I don't know man, maybe games are causing battery drain coz i play pubg twice a day .... So maybe drain is because pubg and asphalt 8 ?
And people say that charging to 100% from 0% is a good habit coz it calibrates the battery so I'm doing this for like 2-3 days discharging the phone till it gets switched off then charging to 100%

Why in the world don't you charge properly the battery before rebooting the device ?
My HD always reports the right battery values because I don't let the battery drain that much, if you wan't the battery to last many months please don't let it drain so close to 30%.

You should say: some applications I installed or functionality I have enabled are draining my battery badly. The device itself with the standard applications does not drain the battery in one day.
I agree that for example using wifi is a major drainer, but I do not beleive there are other devices out there that do it a lot better, like say continous wifi for two days...
Battery cosumption is always a problem in all devices. There is no single PDA out there that does not have a "battery" thread and how bad it is blah blah blah...
I can give you examples of devices that will be drained within a couple of hours, and the same devices being able to last for three weeks or more. It all depends on what you run and how you use it.
Your may be right or maybe not,
I think I'll un-install my apps and reinstall again with each new app being added one day at a time, to work out if any of them is killing my battery

A "normal" application doesn't drain your battery. By a "normal" application I mean something that you open, work on, and close it again.
You have to pay attention to applications, which are running in the background and/or are polling every few seconds something.

Hi,
the battery took long to reach 50%... about a day of heavy usage but after 50%, it took less den an hour of heavy usage to get to 10%. anyone experience this? or is my battery fautly? thanks.
i know that between soft resets my battery will change values, usually go up e.g. if its 40% when i reset when it reboots it will be 44%
i have the same issue here
but the battery last 2 days with me

Same here...on my device from 50 to 10% goes WAY faster than from 100 to 50%. To me it means crappy indicator. Must be a HTC problem, as my Prophet displayed similar behaviour.
This behaviour ("jumping" percentage after power-off) is completely normal, but the explanation would be very long.
Short version: What the battery % displays is in fact a translation of the voltage of the LiIon battery. When you switch off the device the voltage recovers a little bit, thus you get a higher % value when you switch it on the next time .. and which will fall rather rapidly until it stabilizes under the present load of the battery. Also the discharge curve of a LiIon battery is not completely linear.

But I used my iphone at work to watch videos, ect while there is downtime. I usually watch while it's also on the charger
For the Note series, does anyone know if that "kills" my battery for long term?
I know you can replace battery, but just wondering for future use.
Thanks.
Issue with battery drain due to android system is real
All three people I know that just got the Note 4 were experiencing the same issue I had with excess battery drain with the always generic "android system" taking more battery than anything else including the screen.
I downloaded an app called "System Tuner" and looked the CPU% for Android system and it was a constant 3-4% when the phone was otherwise idle.
I found a post at http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/80459 where they were experiencing the same issue (lose around 12% battery an hour with android system taking a huge chunk of battery). The person from that post was able to address the issue by turning location off, rebooting, turning location on, and rebooting again. After I did this I saw Android system idle at ~0.6% - 1.1% instead. So far I'm getting much better battery life but I'll need to give it some time to know for sure.
Hope this helps!
mine took about 2 full days for everything to finish syncing, downloading, indexing, etc. I had books, news articles, pinned music from google play, etc.
Once that happened, everything is now "normalized" and I'm getting better battery life than I was with the note 3.

Short answer: Maybe, it depends on how you are doing it. Using it while it is charging is not necessarily bad but watching videos and keeping it plugged in while the cell voltage is pegged at 100% will likely deteriorate your battery faster.
Long answer + tips:
Lithium ion batteries are great - they are light, can be made very thin and have excellent energy density but they are also very finiky.
Things to avoid doing with a lithium ion battery
-Charging to 100%, leaving it plugged in overnight is a poor practice(high cell voltages reduce the service life*, stopping the charge at 90%[4.10v] can double the service life, stopping the charge at 80%[4.00v] can quadruple the service life.*)
- Discharging the battery to below ~20% (Li-Ion batteries are somewhat sensitive to deep discharges)
-Charging/exposing Li-Ion to elevated temps or below freezing.
*service life is defined by when a battery can only retain 70% of its rated capacity. Most consumer batteries used in mobile devices have a service life of 500 charge discharge cycles.
It is not uncommon for batteries to lose 30% capacity in 1.5 years or less. Changing your charging and handling habits can double or quadruple a batteries life span.

LOL your picture took up have my damn screen on my 1080p laptop with 15.7 in screen. It was crystal clear too.
On my 2nd charge, auto brightness. Pretty freakin' amazing battery life....
15.5 hours off the charger with 8+ screen on time!
I got awful battery life on the first charge cycle. It drained 50% overnight. 2nd charge has lasted amazingly long and I still have 64% after 12hrs of average use.
First charge. Battery life has been phenomenal. Brightness on auto.
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Definitely improve battery with recent update and I'm a power user
After the latest update
I dont know why but my phone goes from 100-90 in less than a hr with minimal use while the screen is set at auto, also in the leaving it unplugged in the night the battery also drains like 5 points.
I've been at full brightness and using the hell out of it non stop so far, and I'm at 35% with screen on time at 3hrs 40 min.

Hi all!
I don't know you, but one of the main concerns I have about my tab is the battery life.
I don't know, but there's something about your tablet having the same or lower screen on time / battery life that your phone that seems wrong to me.
Anyway, this thread is to share our experiences with battery life, consisting basically of:
1. The ROM we're using
2. The governor (cpu and hotplug)
3. The apps for saving battery
4. Any other tweaks battery related
A print of battery stats and screen on time (sot) would be more than welcome, if not just share the values.
This way we can help each other to squeeze the maximum out of this 4800 mA battery, and the snapdragon 800
Thanks!
I find the battery drain in CM13 odd, for example if you run a game the battery drains at an alarming rate, like 50% down to 20% in 10 minutes, but if you power off the device it goes back up to 50% on next reboot
though perhaps my batt is just getting old now... :......(

I have been using CM13 official build , and also use greenify to freeze all background apps
VS995, Rooted, been running WETA since last January.
------------
About 2 months ago I noticed whenever my phone got to 15% battery left when I plugged it in it would reboot. I ignored the issue for a while because I rarely let it get that low.
Recently though I notice my battery life getting very bad. Insanely bad. Not even 2 hours of SOT, dying in 3 hours just using hotspot with no SOT. Losing 10% in a few minutes of active use sometimes.
So I tried some battery calibration apps, tried recharging to 100% and draining again. Tried wiping battery stats. Tried different ROMS.
I flashed desolation ROM tonight and the battery life seems to be really good on it but it ended up shutting off at 24% left.
Battery apps say my battery is in good health, but I'm wondering if the battery itself is bad? Any tips or advice or help of any kind is appreciated. Thanks

I just wanted to make sure because I've never experienced this issue before. I even hand my smartphones down to my mother and they tend to get over 2 years of use and I've never had to buy new batteries. Thanks for the feedback
If it drops from 24% to 0 then im pretty sure its a damaged battery try it ypu can buy it for less than 20 dollars on ebay
If it drops gradually in standby you could have also a battery drain bug but this is not the case here
Tell your combinations of rom , kernel and profiles if any
Happy to see screenshots of batter consumption if wanna share .Some people get 10+hr screen on time how ??????
I get about 9-9.5 hours
PureFusion ROM with lightning kernel v15
Enable Doze for Google Play services magisk module
Forcedoze from Play store
Greenify with Xposed
Amplify Xposed module
However, I uninstalled Xposed and all those battery savings tweaks/apps to see how battery life is with just the ROM. So far I'm at 2 hours screen on time and went from 100-80. About 5 hours off the charger.

franco kernel + battery life labs settings -> CPU and GPU underclock
Naptime
lower max brightness
backlight dim
around 9h screen on time when doing light stuff, if i play highend games or record 4k videos all the time, its less for sure

Indeed. But the 1-100% that we see on screen is basically the 30-90% of REAL battery capacity. It's controlled by chip in battery. It's tested. Measured. 5 years ago by someone on XDA.
Same with Hybrid/Electric cars which shows us 1-100% which in reality is 40-70% of REAL battery capacity.
You cannot destroy your phone battery with regular charging until you don't put it over extreme heat.

The reason for 40-80 is not because of the capacity rather it's because of the shorter charge cycle. You just need 20 minutes to top up that much. so heat buildup is less. Also after 80 the battery gets heated more to top-up till 100 even though it's trickle charging.

Good, those battery saving things are not at all good for a running environment as they seek out the cancellation and constant stopping of programs processes and apps that your phone doesnt know how to react to other than restarting them which wastes more energy. I was never on the side of custom kernels but i had used them and received no benefit in performance or battery. Went to pure stock and my battery is insanely good. 5 hours of sot and i havent charged for 3 days still going even with Bluetooth and high accuracy location on all 67 hours with consistent switching between wifi and data but i do leave the data on in combination with WiFi no matter what.
