Grab your battery stats and show it off!
Here are mine on a good day (see attachments elow). I am also running oICSv41 with the GladOS v2.2/2.3 Kernel.
I heard rumours of poor battery life...
is there a native screenshot feature? if not what did u guys use to take screenshots. i dont want to root this phone.
Screen capture on ICS: Hold Volume down + Power
On CM9: Hold Power and select Screen capture from the menu
How is that possible? Stock ics/kernel?

I got pretty decent life. ddnt see the ics bug at all.
it had drained about 40% (60% left) after a day with some use and the whole night without charging.

As far as I know you have to root for it. Stock ICS seems to have it loaded into the system as far as I can tell.
And damn you guys have some impressive battery life. I think I'm gonna start tweaking a few things past just the kernel and the OC/UV settings. If I had a decent foot in developing I would work on a truly dedicated ICS rom with the best life I can get from it. The ones we currently have already do a good job as is.

Its possible when you don't do anything with your phone.
Charge it and don't touch it and you will get 24 hours or more
Here is what I got. Same as GB. I solved many issues with a hard reset.
All stock on ICS
Sent from my iced and sandwiched Nexus S.
4.0.3 ota, rooted.
I'm a light user, obviously
Best I've achieved is 22hrs with 4-5hrs of screen "on" time. No current screen shot, but I'll snag one once glados 2.4 has settled in with my sph33r v2 rom.
Wow, there are some pretty amazing graphs here.
Could I request that people attach their ROM and Kernel along with these screenshots? It would be nice if everyone could have the same battery life!
(Also, some of these pictures show that no voice calls are even made ...)
Yeah, everyone can get amazing battery life with wifi off and hardly any usage of the phone lol.

True, but if you looked at some of the graphs you will notice many users that posted were actually using their phones. One user had 35 hours up time with plenty of battery left with "Screen On" at the top of battery consumption, probably correlating to greater than 2.5 hours of screen on time.

Unless they post screen on time it really doesn't mean much and you are just guessing. People please post screen on time along with the discharge graph.

Fair enough. But, if you find a screen shot of battery use with <5-10% remaining and greater than 25% 'Screen On' usage that isn't near or over 150 minutes of screen on time, please send me a pm. I've looked throughout these threads at many battery graphs and haven't seen one with that high of screen usage without the screen being on for nearly 2.5 hours or more- (with the exception of people getting dismal battery life of course, i.e. 2 hours and 90% drained, etc.).
Hi, I have been using my nexus 6p for quite a while flashing custom roms like crazy and I read in one of the threads that the battery is best with the stock, so I decided to try it, except I am not getting a real difference.
Now, I need some help reading the battery graphs. I have tried bunch of battery apps to test the wakelock and haven't found much issues. I have turned off scanning, location, wifi, the only thing I did not turn off was the data. I even tried to turn off the SYNC one time and didn't make much difference.
I suspect it is my network. I am getting LTE in my area, but I don't know how to read the signal in the stock battery graph. In total I can be getting about 4 SOT at the end of my day down to 10 percent and I see people are getting crazy 6 or 7. Images below

You're gonna need to use something like BetterBatteryStats to investigate properly, the stock battery stats app is pretty much useless.

I tried the better battery stars, and the gsam battery, I couldn't really detect much out of it. Do you think I can monitor the signal drain? Do you think it could drain the battery this much?
Thanks,

It's impossible for me to say what's going on with the images you've already provided, they're not accurate. Run BBS for a day and post screenshots of the Other, Alarms, Kernel Wakelocks, and Partial Wakelocks screens.

Hi!
It seems interesting, but root is needed, right? I will wait feedback from people, and if the battery life is really better, I root my phpne and try your tips.

I am getting 9 to 10 hours of SOT on S7 Edge
10 hours SOT? I call BS unless you just sit with it doing nothing all day
I can get 9 hours SoT without any mod just using WhatsApp and very light usage, leaving the screen on when I'm not using it
10 hours SoT with normal use, BS

Unfortunately that's what some people do all day and say they get 9 hours of sot, i was lucky to get 5h once, now its between 3-4h tops, still better than all my previous phones.
The procedure the op posted sounds interesting since its not the normal "turn sync off and lower brightness" bull****, pity i haven't rooted my phone yet.

Yea I did that test once in the battery thread and some troll got his knickers in a twist, even though I explained it was exactly for that test, not for real world SoT with normal usage, can't fix stupid though
I average 5-6 SoT hours normal usage
Removing the apps etc mentioned in the OP wouldn't double SoT anyway

A lot of people have reported back with increased battery time. I am getting 10 hours SOT on S7 Edge
Increased is one thing, doubled is another, I can increase my SoT a number of ways
You should mention "Edge" in your OP
Personally I`ll wait for all the reports coming in from other people before I believe it

Well that's not doubled then is it? I get 6 hours SoT with my S7 flat, the Edge has much better battery life than the flat already, so that would mean you were getting 5 hours SoT prior to this 'tweak', less than an S7 flat?

You don't own an Edge, I do and majority of people are getting 5 hours SOT on S7 Edge. I did a poll for 2 weeks before posting this guide

Nobody cares what you believe or personally want to do. And the guide is posted in S7 Edge forums. I linked it here so that people using the flat variant can also take advantage.
Please be respectful at all times. They're just phones people, no need to get angry.

Yep, because your claims are absurd, it will not double your SoT, only a bigger battery could manage to give you 100% extra battery life, not app tweaks
I don't need to try it to know that, I've been tweaking with Android for many years, don't you think if that was the case, that all custom ROMs would also double battery life?
Exactly, they don't and your little tweak doesn't either
The only way you have possibly seen such a drastic improvement, is because the S7 Edge should have been getting 7-8 hours anyway, you deleted a rogue app or service that was causing battery drain, and now you have normal S7 Edge battery life (Along with leaving your screen on doing nothing with the phone to improve SoT)
Conversation with you, over.

Google Play Services have a lot of wakelocks and you don't own an S7 Edge to say that it lasts 7 Hours SOT. As i said earlier i did a survey before releasing this guide and majority of the people said they got 5 hours SOT max.

Finally!
Hello. I have had a OP5 for the past year, having bought it a few weeks after it launched. However I have never gotten "good" battery performance. I just saw the thread where people posted their SOT, 8, 9 hours...? I can barely get 4, and that's if I'm on WiFi... The phone for me barely lasts a day? With far from heavy usage. I have tried various ROM/Kernel configurations but nothing helps. Currently I am using AEX and that's what I got yesterday (see attachment). Stock OOS is similar if not worse... I am soo frustrated about this issue. Could anyone point me towards what I am doing wrong? Battery stats don't show me anything wrong, I use normal apps like Facebook, Snapchat etc and they don't drain that much battery according to the stats. What could it possibly be?
Thank you

Sorry to say, but Screenshots are not a dump file. Also you have nearly 1h screen on time, that's too much.
Please read the linked thread about bbs and repeat the recording of a dump file according to the instructions in the first post.

Excellent idle drain of 0.5%/h, nothing to complain about. It's like mine. There's nothing to investigate imo.
Poor idle drain starts at 1%/h or above

I've just gone back to a much more routine lifestyle (summer is over) and so my phone followed suite, I don't use it so much during the day and the average drain of a whole day of small usage is 3-4% an hour which is great for me! However, whenever I start using is when things get out of hand, the usage shoots up to 20+% an hour. Very strange as it is obviously not a wakelock problem but a screen problem? Okay I don't have a 100% black substratum theme but I mean. The phone is designed to handle colours haha

Usage drain is nearly impossible to compare or analyze. But 20%/h is too much for op5 imp. Even with gaming.

Wakelocks are not dangerous in general. And Google play services are essential for majority of your communication.
Without a dump file like before its not possible to track down any issues to Google play services. And if you don't have a higher drain, it's just the observation of the wakelock.
Can you help me? My battery in my phone sucks! Im in oreo 339 because i have seen reviews sbout this snd i tried but still sucks.

5000mAh battery lasting only for 3 hour's. Definitely your battery damaged.
Still more information is needed for assessment.
Provide the below mentioned information
year's you been using this device ?
Do you use any kind of rogue app like facebook ?
provide a screenshot of battery usage.
Are you rooted or have knowledge of using adb ?
Thank you. Have a great time !

Unfortunately the screenshot that you shared provides no data related to app usage.
You can try few things to troubleshoot but it's time consuming. So if you're interested let me know.

go and change battery...recently i have faced the same problem...and day by day the time of lasting of battery decreased...and finally the phone was completed dead due to lack of battery....i have changed the battery a weak before after 2months of battery problem...now its good and giving more than 8 hours of battery backup...
