Coming from Sony z2 and im bit dissapointed about the S7E Battery Life

Hello,
First i have to say i really like that Phone looks and feels very nice, changed a bit the ui and rly like it actually but...
The Battery Performance is very poor between a z2 and a S7e,
sure i know better screen bigger/faster cooler but when i see my old z2 can handle 2 (40 to 50 hours) days without charging and i get 400mah bigger battery in a s7e and only get around 20-24h from it thats very poor.
I hope they get something like the Stamina mode from Sony which is learning what you do on your phone to safe more battery, actually the Power saving mode gives me 1 more hour...
this phone is 2 years old now and perform so much better in battery stats thats just unbelievable.

That's why I always carry a 10000mah portable battery charger. No bigger then the phone do it's not a big issue to put in my pocket. I went 14 hours 27 minutes yesterday and that was down to 11%. I'm also a very heavy user tho. I stream, Facebook, text, kik, internet, watch movies, etc constantly. So to me that's actually not a bad battery. Came from the s5 and I was only getting 9 hours max on that. So this is fantastic battery life to me.

i never need to carry something extra on my z2 and i would say im a "normal" user fb a bit emails whats app etc i dont play on smartphones nothing. and compared to my old z2 when i go to bed i had around 40-60% battery left actually i have around 10-20% left on the s7e... i think something is wrong with the battery/software or something.

Battery life seems okay to me. Idle overnight for 7.5 hours is only 1% drain...

I do believe than an update from Samsung will improve the battery on the Snapdragon 820 edition. It's impossible for such discrepancy between Snapdraon and Exynos. On the other hand, it may be that Qualcomm is just behind with their efficiency and people are just not believing it yet.

I get 7-8 hours SOT.

I got 30hrs runtime and 11hrs SOT and am now on track to get almost 3 days runtime and 9hrs SOT. I'm not disappointed. Screenshots are in the post your battery life thread. I'm on my z2 tablet now so I can't post them. SD820 on Verizon BTW.

Something is obviously draining your battery. I really don't see why anyone complains about battery life of any phone the first week they have the phone. Most people never put the phone down. I got my S7 Edge the first day people got them with T-Mobile so I think two weeks now. I'm a power user and killed the battery once at like 8pm after taking it off the charger at 7am. I had the Sony z1 and returned it since battery life sucked.

I can't post my Gsam stats on the mobile xda app, but I am at 42% battery life left with 5 hours and 11 minutes of active time over the course of 9 Hours. Very heavy usage those 5 Hours btw. GearVR for 20-25 mins, YouTube for an hour and Spotify both to and from my work. With the occasional Web browsing.
Damn good for me.
I want to point out I disabled the majority of the bloatware with package disabler though.

I've moved from an Xperia Z3 and i find the battery life to be much, much better. No complaints here.

Ok this morning i get a popup about some apps moved into power saving mode now.
atm im coming home and get 70% batter left, WOW!
so far it says around 40h lifetime of the battery i think you are right guys i should give the phone a bit more time....
btw im on the european version of the s7e i think thats the exynos version right?

Screen on time

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 Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 before depleting the battery.

I feel like I received a different phone from everyone else. On a normal day, I do 4 hour of SOT, start at 730 in the morning, finish at midnight with 50% battery left. This is with hundreds of emails received every day, youtube, web browsing, and maybe algal hour of calls.
Not quite sure how gsmarena got such a poor battery rating on this thing.

Good ..6 hours for me... But mainly on WiFi...

Im switching Roms frequently so Cant Tell much about battery.
But yeah I also wonder why everyone is rating it bad, because damn much phones have same sized ?.
Sure my overall experience is kind of sad, because I'm coming from a Moto z play where I got 2-3 days with 9+ hours SOT.
On AOSP based ROMs I had to charge it 1-2 times a day, which is ridiculous nowadays
But now on epic rom I find it hard to kill battery in 1 day, even if im trying to. I'm now at 50% after 7 hours of use with bit less than 3 hours SOT
I guess that's a good thing

1 hour calls. Set on 3G network.
Screen brightness ~30%. Was used 99% indoor so I dont need more screen light.
Browsing, facebook and some youtube on Wi-Fi. Only about 20 minutes on mobile data.

Here are my stats after first charge/discharge cycle

Does anyone have good battery life with two sims?
Seems to be a huge difference for me between battery life with one and two sims.

Interesting. Which ROM or MIUI version are you using? How is standby?
For me with two sims, it drains 2% every hour, or more.

Global stable 9.1.2.0.
I'd Def say it was less than 2% for sure, but I have a pretty good mobile signal all the time which definitely helps.

My word is absolute. So believe me when I say. Battery life of Mi Mix 2 is Fuking Godly. This phone never dies no matter how much I abuse. I will be looking to charge the phone but it got so much juice left still.

I believe they reworked the doze feature, meaning App-suspending.

A full day of use can easy be achieved using the U12+ with an on screen time around 4/5 hours.

I usually charge mine every other day with about 6 hours of screen on time. My wife, however, managed this.

Wow that very impressive screen on time. Any more information on her usage? Just Facebook for example?

I realized, after posting yesterday, that she could have had some charge time in there(forgot to check) and that would have made it look like SoT was longer than it actually was.
I checked her phone again last night and she had 6.5 hours SoT and 21 hours since last charge with 3% left.
She plays mostly casual games... Grow Castle, Neko Atsume, Candy Crush.

Thanks for the info. I find I'm getting 3-4 hours SoT whenever I play any games, but usually gain an extra hour when I'm not playing games. Wasn't sure if that's normal or bad considering what you posted about your wife's habits.

Battery life seems to be on the lower end of the spectrum. My Pixel 2 XL gets much better battery life compared to the U12.

What did that do for you? Did it improve your battery life

Just bought the phone for a week, all is perfect unless the battery .
ideal time is fine around one day and more, screen on time around 5/6 hours.
if your change the display resolution from Quad HD+ to FHD+ it will give you extra one hour .

thats not poor battery life, is average i would say

Battery is even better on latest update. I would get even more if it wasn't for me being in work and getting a weak mobile signal 47% from this. 1 Day and 19 hours 30min on a full charge with just under 5 hours screen on time, usage from games, youtube, Facebook chrome, phone calls so a high usage also. I am very happy with this phone battery.

Anyone also have the HTC U11? If so, how does it compare in screen on time? I'm considering upgrading, but don't really want to take a big hit in that area.

Anyone else?

Nobody? This thread seems to be dead like HTC company.

First charge looks promising

Hello,
If I compare the screen on times of my new HTC U12+ with your pictures, could you please tell me what did I wrong?
Screen brightness is about 15%. Apps like Facebook, GMail, Google Drive, Alexa, Messenger, News Republic and so on are deactivated.
I reached 1 hours 38 minutes screen on time with 33% battery left.
Please advise.

i would uninstall that batterystat app, those are only useful if you want to find battery draining apps and they drain battery in return.

Hi, May I ask you how do you manage to get 6-8 SOT because I have the phone since a week with global ROM installed and I get around 4 hours ( the same I had also before with Chinese ROM)

4 hours is reasonable, person with 6-8 hours SOT will highly likely have different usage to you.....
Turn brightness down, install another kernel, don't use high demanding apps as much, close and turn things off when not using, use power saving apps etc

I can't believe that my mi mix 3 has only 3200mah battery
Global rom, non root:

Any special settings to get this SOT?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I'm getting 8-10 hours of SOT
~Global Rom No Root
Power savings mode enabled.
CPL (Pixel Launcher with theme changed to black in the settings)
MIUI Android Pie Dark theme (Makes the system menus Black)
Legam Black Icon Pack
Kiwi Browser with Night mode
Youtube with dark mode
Google APK ports from the Pixel with dark mode.
No GPS, No Data, No Bluetooth, WIFI only
Solid Black wallpaper.
50-75% brightness

I also had battery issues. Sas barely.using phone and in half a day telephone asked for.charging. whaat i did was disxharge to shut down then charge to 100% without turning on the phone. It helped a lot. Ove read aomewhere that this method is food once a year for phone battery because it helps to calbrate the energy levels in the battery.
Also it.is good. to use as dark pixels.as u can becausw.the.brighter the more.energy ia going to be used.
Also disable.services you dont need(wifi,gps,mobile data,nfc, bluetooth background processes, anything thhat is using your battery energynto.work.
With advices in this.thread you can prolong your battery by like 40%. Can confirm that it.helped me.
Just do.some reasearch on enerfy saving in a smartphone.

Battery
I've got mine for around 3 days and the battery don't last even half a day, it usually lost 10% in 2h. while in idle, I have AoD, Bluetooth and data, but I'm quite sure that it's not normal.

I have MIUI 10 Global Stable, last update.
In the meantime I turned off AoD and now it's fine, I've found out that the screen never turn off even when inside the pocket.

I was able to get 6 hours of sot

I recommend disabling the option to use adaptive battery, at least it improved here after I deactivated it.

On PE I was able to get 8 hours of SOT right now I'm testing out AEX seeming it was March security patch I'll keep you guys updated on it
Edit: same with PE around 8 hours of SOT

4-6h SOT with 120Hz adapative and QHD+ (adaptive)
Drains a bit faster compared to my P20 Pro, but performance is outstanding

Yeah, I'm on average usage. Max can get 4.5 hours SOT only. With fhd+ 120hz

i'm very worried about it now... i haven't done 3-4 cycles yet (2nd at the moment), but i'm on 4-5 hours sot with mostly being on wifi at the moment.. which is worrysome.

I get about 3-5h with Resolution and refreshrate at adaptive

Yup that sounds about right. I'm on mobile data today. 2.5h sot with only 20% left.. So I'm returning the phone end of this month

.A24 increased it to 5-7h SOT for me

Full Res. and 120Hz. Heavy usage. Great Battery [emoji106]

According to the reviews, first couple of days the battery endurance is sub-par/average because the phone learns your habits and adapts slowly.
After a week or so you should be getting better results.
I'll report the stats when I get mine, should be soon.

Second run just under 50% battery web usage YouTube Instagram .. seems decent

Well just cleared my first week average tops around 5 ish hours generally.

You should not drain your phone to single digit numbers. Don't also charge beyond 85%.
This is what Battery Scientists say.

You might be right , however how realistic is it do as suggested in the real world ??
Is that something you practice yourself ?
If I were to do that I would be wiping the best part of 2 hours sot of my device which is impractical.
