Hey Folks,
It's been more than three years since the phone was released. Many would have replaced the battery similar to stock or higher capacities.
Let's share the battery life and usage of our phones. I have attached snapshots of my phone from GSAM battery monitor app. I have installed a 4400mAh Anker extended battery.
Please share yours. Cheers. :good:
Hi! Mi S3 has three years as well. You can see the date that it was built with the app Phone Info-Samsung- in the playstore. Mine it has a stock ROM, and with heavy usage (games, chrome and youtube) (didn't change the battery since got the phone), it gives 3h and 30 min screen on time. Very well to a phone that have three years. Greetings.
Stock battery 2 years plus
Offline Manga reading 5Hrs SOT
Online browsing 2~4hrs
Online streaming 2~4hrs
Gaming 2~3hrs
:C
3 1/2 years
Using Lollipop it drains in 4 hours of moderate using.
Using KitKat I can use the phone for 6 hours of moderate using.
I have been using my S3 since 1 year and 10 months and can go for 6-7 hrs with heavy usage
I bought my S3 in Sept 2013 so it has been close to 2yrs now and I have switched to Zero lemon which is 7000 maH monster..it lasts me for 3 days easily with super heavy usage...if I keep it in stand by it can last me for 20+ days without any issues...
I'm still using the stock battery. I've another stock battery as spare.
So far it working well with average of 7-8 hrs battery life with light usage.
Recently, I just use the Battery Repair app to repair some bad cells in the battery. Hopefully it will prolong the battery life a bit more.
Hi ******. Thats great timing so is yoir smartphone stable with this big monster 7000Mah . Can you guide me a bit so that i can buy one that i am sure about . I have galaxy s3 i9300 with 2 hours 3g use help me out

I changed recently to original Samsung's 3000mAh and would recommend it everyone who hesitate :good:
My S3 is now my second phone, so fairly light usage. Stock battery, 3 years 2 months old. Flashed Belokta Note 4 rom 5.1, Boeffla kernel 7.9. Greenify and Amplify. Able to achieve 2.5 days off the charger and 1 hour 15 mins SOT. Wi-Fi whenever possible. Not bad for a 3 year old battery and great work for the developers.

Wow, excellent score, seems like I need to try Boeffla
I've read some reviews and most of them noted the average battery life of this nice phone.
One even said that its worse than the Nexus 5 battery life, which is hard to believe.
That's what mostly concerns me, so I would like to ask owners about their experience.
Min 5 hours screen on time.
Max 7 hours screen on time.

Thanks! Are you overall satisfied with its battery life?
What was your previous device?
I'm on LG G2 at the moment and I'm afraid the GM5 plus will disappoint me in that regard...

My previous device is Gionee Elife E3 clone. I dont care about battery a lot. But GM 5 Plus is not bad. Google improves battery life at July patch. I'm so happy with unofficial roms. Stock / RR is stable.
But there is a problem with heat. If you play games 30 minutes it heats
I don't play games. Usually use for mail, web browsing, call and message. Before this I had, in reverse chronological order; galaxy note 3, galaxy note 2, htc one X, htc sensation and htc HD2 (android port), before that it was iphones and windows mobiles all the way back to 2004. So I have been using smartphones for the past dozen years. General rule of thumb for me is that if I can unplug it in the morning before leaving home at about 8-9 am and it lasts until about midnight when I plug it in and go to bed it is good enough battery life for me. I have found with the GM5plus that it is very often able to perform satisfactorily in regards to battery life. It gets me through the day no problem. In that regard it is much better than was the case with teh sensation, and Note 3 after the lollipop update. The note 3 could barely last until the evening after the 5.0 upgrade. This phone makes it to about 11:30-12:00 midnight with about 15-20 percent left. So I would say that even playing games and videos you should be able to get up to 4-5 hrs screen time and up to 8 hrs screen time just internet browsing. Plus there is quick(ened) charge so it does what it is supposed to do for a lot less than the (expensive) flagship models of other brands that I had bought previously.

unfornately the batter drains is four hours..
Definitely impressed so far. How about your experience?
I'd like to know wich rom offers better battery life, xiaomi.eu or official global.
I get 6-7h of SoT regularly. But then I use my phone heavily every single day, needing to recharge at 3pm, almost never allowing the phone to sleep/turn off the display.
Amazing Batterylife

Since I've used reading mode my screen on time is 5 hours, meanwhile at first my Sox was about 6.30 hours...
i got decent 6 hour screen on time in normal usage ( in performance and balance mode)
i always turn performance mode because i did notice some frame drop and lag
i just received redmi 4 prime view day ago
and it beat redmi note 4 battery life
Battery life is awesome! I'm coming from the iPhone 6s and I'm completely stunned by the battery life I get with this phone!
I get on average 7 hours screen on time (chrome instagram twitter whatsapp spotify youtube twitch) and phone last about at least 18-20 hours. Amazing

GSam works on your phone? MIUI keeps killing off mine, so the results are horribly inaccurate. Tried high priority, tried removing power saving from MIUI app settings, tried putting notification. Kept killing off the notification.
You should go to Settings and then Permissions and then Autostart and select the apps you want to be able to run in the background and autostart.
Pretty decent battery with the alternative rom from cofface.
img15.hostingpics.net/pics/421253Screenshot20161222000030.png
Around 4-5 hours SOT, 20% brightness mostly reddit, FB, manga, that's with wifi + dualsim btw.
can you tell me what is the pecertange of cell standby on your phone when you have 5-6 hours sot and what ROM do you use? thank you
Thunder ROM, no tweaks or settings changed, WiFi + dualsim, 4G if there's no WiFi
Between the huge battery and the very customizable "doze" alternative, this thing sips its juice like a little bird. Could go for a few days if need be. Stock everything.

Lol what? That's impossible.. That's probably on multiple charges or you left the screen of the phone on overnight without using it (which will only consume some %).

Dude seriously? 23 hours with 11 hours of SOT? That's the craziest I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. What is your usage? (apps, wifi or 3G/4G)

Hello,
my uncle just bought me a brand new genuine Redmi note 7, I opened the box and turned the phone on.. I noticed that the battery was at 66%, I set up the phone which took a minute or less and that's when I was about to connect it to my wifi BUT then I notice that the battery is 63% ALREADY.. Now knowing that the phone has a 4000mah battery I was beyond shocked too see a 3% drain with low brightness and just 1 minute of light use literally no SIM or internet was being used.. so I turned it off and charged it to the max.. After that I turned the phone back on to update miui.. I connected the phone to my wifi and started updating to the last version.. available from the updater.. it took less than 10 minutes.. and guess what I see? 100% to 89% in less than 10 minutes that's crazy.. I bought this phone because of this guy w ww. youtube. com/watch?v=3gaWbx2x06s as we can see in the video he gets almost 8 hours of SOT with full brightness wifi and youtube FHD... right now I'm doing the same experiment and adding battery saver setting and my battery is draining fast I'd be surprised if I got 4 hours of sot... I don't understand... what's wrong? The phone is new and genuine since I verified the imei.. Thank you.

I believe every phone does the same thing like that when you configure them for the very first time. Full brightness, wifi scanning, mobile data ON, GPS ON, sync ON for a few minutes can consume lots of battery.
My advice is to fully set up your phone with all the apps you want and turn off any features you don't use. Use and recharge your phone normally for a few days. Check for battery consumption stats using native graphs or popular battery tracking apps. Analyze graphs and stats and draw the conclusions yourself. (Don't trust everything people say on YouTube, trust your own experience.)
In the worst scenario, you can always return your phone within 7 days of purchase. I hope you don't have to! :fingers-crossed:
My brand new redmi note 7 is a little fast draining right now too which is a little disappointing but my redmi note 5 was also the same fast draining when I first purchased it and it improved so I really hope this redmi note 7 does the same and improves.
I have both phones side by side right now so I can kind of compare usage

Yeah even my mediatek redmi note 4 didn't drain like this.. now when it gets to 15% it just discharges completely.
One thing I will mention is facial recognition. It could possibly drain the battery faster so I have just turned it off for testing purposes. I need to see what difference it makes but that's really the only difference between my two redmi phones 5 & 7.
Any new phone battery will take a few charge/drain cycles until it is calibrated correctly.
Use it for a while and see if the battery settles down.
Also different countries have different mobile systems. This will also affect battery life as the phone needs to continually scan for a signal....

30% brightness.. only wifi.

I know the post is old but I have the same problem ... I think we are so many to have it !!
I have a Note 7 for more than a month and it never went well ... I managed to do only 3 days but almost without using it, there are people who also do 4 or 5 days of use ...
Anyway if I use it it makes me amalapena 1 day ...
When I use the phone I see that it consumes my battery quickly even if I just navigate the phone menu.
I've already done at least 4 reset but it didn't help
I do not know what to do..
Did you solve the problem?
miui 11 could help?
Thanks
Imposible to do 4-5 days with this phone or any phone when u use it. Why do u have smartphone when u dont use it and u care about battery?
What version MIUI are you all using?
I'm still on 10.3.5 and battery life is great.
I average 9.5 hours SOT ( 2 days worth) with normal use and have got as high as just under 11 hours SOT a few times.
If you're not on 10.3.5, can you roll back?
I've heard of battery life issues after updating to the newer versions which is why I'm staying on this one until they work out the kinks
My battery life has improved since my earlier post just as I expected it to The note 5 does last a little longer when I put them side by side but they are both great phones and the batteries last for ages with normal daily use!
I barely use 50% with gaming (currently clash royale) social medias, spotify for around 2 hours and some other stuff plus I'm working 5 days a week so I don't get to see my phone for most of the day anyway

might be a dumb question but, how/when do you charge your phone ? do you wait for the battery to reach 0-10% and charge it back to 100%? or you do the 20% to 80% charge "cycle" ?
I try to charge my phones every night now when I go to bed, The note 5 & 7 are around 50% most days from useage and I charge them from around 8/9pm until I wake for work at 5am (Living the dream)

and what SOT do you get with the 50% usage ?
I am not sure, Because it almost never drops below 50% in a days usage I have stopped looking and worrying about battery life It just lasts and lasts for me.
However I will try and take notice over the next few days and report back if there is anything to report...
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 OnePlus 7T Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have been very happy with battery life so far.
Screen is on 90hz qhd+
90% on wifi
Sot of 7 hours and 5 minutes.
Been of the charger for 15 hours.
Still 16% battery left.
First day of moderate usage with qhd and 90 hz
90 hz fhd betwen 7-8 hours screen on time normal use social media youtube and some light games (except pubg that game is a battery killer ) with quad hd didn't tested yet !
Fourth day with the op7t pro and I've noticed that the screen on time is even worse than on my 3 years old OnePlus 3...
I'm getting 3 to 4 hours of screen on time in normal usage. Google, social media and Netflix/YouTube.
If I start playing games the sot drops below 3 hours
I'll send it back and buy another smartphone. It's not acceptable to have 3 hours of sot for a brand new flagship
have you tried a hard reset in your phone , dark mode , and battery saver as well because 7t pro can do better than that

I have a 6-8 SOT usually (90hz and automatic resolution). Give it some days to stabilize. Battery on first days was bad. Now it's amazing
I average too around 7 hours of sot. Pretty good I would say.
I'm really thinking about giving it a try but SOT is very important to me and no phone has come close to my mate 20 pro this year and I returned every one I tested. But never tried a oneplus so... Wireless charging is really something i would miss for sure so I'm still hesitating. And the mixed results given here don't confort me into buying it...
Display -FHD 90 HZ Brightnes 50% dark mode on
only wifi no sim cards on it used for netflix , youtube facebook , browser and camera

Well... Now it's even worse. I'm getting like 3 hours (of even less) of screen on time.
Automatic resolution, 90Hz, only wifi, 1/3 of brightness, black/dark mode everywhere, only social media and video (yt and Netflix).
I'll send it back. It's unacceptable for a flagship to get under 3 hours of sot. I have to plug in my OnePlus 7t pro 2-3 times a day
Amazing SOT
Fantastic battery life! 90hz+QHD with latest Ex Kernel.

The only kernel that officially supports the T series is Ex Kernel. However, I'm using Kirisakura Kernel atm without any issues on my 7T Pro.
Poor sot
I get around 5 to 5 and half hours max.
Disappointed as my friend gets 8 to 8 and half hours screen on time. What should I do?

Many threads mention WhatsApp as the culprit. The latest beta should fix the drain.
Whatsapp Beta APKMirror
Im on my first charge 7t pro mclaren. Debloatet it, rooted and now are looking forward to drain it. Charged it to 100% and now im at 98% with screen on time 20minutes but brightness at ~30%
Will post screenshots when its drained
Amazing
55% left.... No charge beetween. Most of the time wifi. Low brightness ~30-50%. Everything blacked (substratum) also Samsung browser dark mode...
