I've got a 10 hour flight coming up soon and the in-flight movie selection is just awful. As such, does anyone know if I could get 10 hours mp4 playback out of a fully charged phone when it is is airplane mode?
Many thanks

I wouldn't like to say that you would definitely get 10hrs out if it, but I'm sure you'll get 5+. I often watch say 2 to 3 hours of video on my Desire at the end of a full day (all radios on etc, medium usage) and then charge up before I go to sleep.
For a long flight though, I would suggest getting an external battery pack or second battery anyway just to be sure.

Will be taking a flight over the Summer for Holiday/Vacation - Yippee....
Anyway I was wondering how long could I expect the Desire to last when playing Videos, what factors affect video and Battery use (Codec, Bitrate, AMOLED backlight) and also how long have you guys played video before a fully charged battery gave up?
Obviously you will be in the plane and your phone will be in airplane mode so your radios won't be sipping power all the time... this will add to the power life dramatically anyway.
As for bit rate you have only a few options. It comes down to the compromise of video quality and pixel H/W. You may be able to convert your videos to a lower resolution and save some more juice. I would, if wanting to save battery, also leave the backlight on half brightness as to not compromise the watch-ability.

How long has anyone watched videos on their desire - 4hrs, 5hrs, more ?
sounds about right, 4-6 hours i'd say if fully charged with airplane mode on
without airplane mode i'd say about 2-3 hours max
Additionally, it'll depend on the rest of the gazillion phone settings you've chosen too. So there is no fixed number we can give.
Lower brightness, H.264 vids, ACC 44KHz aud, and lower bitrate overall = lower power draw
Lower than fullscreen res (like VGA) also has lower power draw.
128Kbps aud and ~700-1000Kbps vid is the lowest I use.

Actually, I've had 4 to 5 hours out of my Desire with the radios on, and still had some battery to spare. The video was encoded to iPod Touch standards.

Hello!
So I got the Note 10.1 but I am not sure if my battery life is good or if it needs to be replaced.
For example first time I tried it it seemed to go from like 50 to warning levels all of the sudden. I know the guy was not using it for a while so I am not sure if it needs a few full charge discharge cycles.
I did a couple and tried playing a bit of Riptide then one movie and a half on youtube and overall made it around 4 hours of usage like that.
I was wondering if you guys have any test or maybe some steps I can recreate to compare my battery life results to yours.
Thanks!
I have up to ten hours surfing the net via wifi, Email, Tapatalk, news apps and only occasional video clips. Lasts even longer when just reading locally stored docs or watching photos. Gaming is of course the worst condition.
Check for some old reviews. Easiest to reproduce would be a gaming session, with a game similarly to that used in some review. Then the battery will probably last 2-4h, if it's still okay.
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 Sony Xperia XZ Premium before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Got 6hrs @ 50%

(Rooted with storm fix)
so that is the reason for your high screen time
what is your charger model ? UCH12 ?
if it is uch12 so you are using fast charge

yep
im getting 8-9 hours with 3-3.5 hours of asphalt 8 gameplay on high graphics, one or two movies on youtube, full low brightness (35% on movies in YT), heavy facebook usage. and a lot of other things like video editing, whats, HG,G+ etc etc.
uninstalled all useless system and user apps. added play services in doze mode. reduced background activity and background data on all user and system apps.
using 1890x3360 resolution (to fix touch issues).
Im on oreo (.51) with storms DRM Fix/kernel, I used serajrs debloat script to get rid of all the useless apps, 8.45 hours with 13% left, this phone is a beast! Mobile data all day, stamina on performance, some YouTube, lots of browsing, telegram msg's, couldnt ask for better.
So are you guys getting these insane screen on times due to root? If so what are you doing to achieve this?
If not rooted what are you doing to get these kind of screen on times

Hi,
My device isn't rooted and this is what I do to get the most out of the battery...
1. I try to never allow the battery to get hot in order to prolong its excellent performance. If you're charging your phone, don't run heavy draining apps as this will greatly increase the battery's temperature. When charging my phone, I usually set stamina mode to always on and if I'm not expecting important phone calls I sometimes activate airplane mode. If you want to make and receive calls just turn off Bluetooth, wife, data and GPS while the phone is plugged in to keep the battery temperature down.
2. I used to love the Juice Defender app which was able to automatically turn off Wife/Data whenever the screen is off but sadly it hasn't been updated in so many years. Now I just manually turn off WiFi and Data whenever the phone is not in use.
3. If you're watching an offline film or reading a book, turn off your WiFi and Data. Again, if you're not looking to make calls activate Airplane Mode as this tends to lessen the battery drain especially when watching 4k movies.
4. Delete any apps that you don't use. Especially the power hungry apps!
5. I only tend to set brightness to the lowest setting when I'm in a very dark room. There's no point in always having it so low in broad daylight like a disorientated cave-dweller.
6. When you go to bed, activate stamina mode (if you want to save more juice then also activate Airplane Mode) and just make sure that it won't affect your alarm in the morning. ?
That's pretty much it for me I guess. Rooting voids the warranty and that's not something I want to do so I'm happy with my current usage and performance.
Hope this helps!

You can also try to turn off the phone, this will bring excellent battery life :cyclops:
Just kidding :silly:
By the way, root seems to improve a lot the phone, but I have Amazon warranty and would be a shame to lose it for rooting the phone

Hahahahaahahhaha
Yes that's one of the reasons why I'm not too keen on rooting. Rooting the device will also cause some issues that currently have no fix available so I'm good for now.
I can capture excellent stills and beautiful 4k footage. I get around 9-10 hours of screen on time with moderate to heavy use. Everything works as it should so I'm very happy with that.
3.5 hrs loosing 40%
I think for normal daily usage xzp got between 7-8 hrs
The seco d day reached [email protected]% of battery
Well, by my own experience, going out to work at 7:00, getting home at about 18:30 (plus commuting, as I was doing it in the bus too), I was reading an EPUB the whole day (Moon Reader+), black background with white text, the app prevents the screen from turning off, and I hardly had any reason besides lunch break to turn it off, I noticed I had forgotten the cable at the end of lunch break and took out brightness to about 35%, enough to be readable for me, it was on auto until them, no stamina mode either.
I got home with about 40% of battery left. I was quite surprised with my results.
Can get more than 20 hrs of SOT now
Look @The screenshoti taked after long day
5.5 hrs of SOT and 47% battery remaning
I get an average of 6 1/2 hours SOT with heavy gaming and brightness set to around 30%
Otherwise 2-3 days standby with medium to little use. I am impressed.
Ps. When gaming, is the screen running in 1080P or 4k?? How can we tell?

Thanks for clearing that. This means that we only get 4k when viewing 4k movies? However, by default we are getting 1080p which includes gaming.
It would be nice if we could run games in 4k. Why have a 4k screen which is only running 1080P?
Same as buying a 4k TV/Monitor and gaming at 1080P. :crying:
At least we should have an option to change resolution like a PC when gaming, would make sense.Even gaming at 1440P would look amazing. Some games have visible jagged edges which would be eliminated if running at resolutions higher than 1080P...

hey could you please us all how much you paid for the PC that lets enjoy 4k gaming? and how much room it takes.
I'm not trying to underestimate the power of Snapdragon 835, but you surely don't understand that even GTX 1080 doesn't play all the games flawlessly in 4K

Then you must not heard of GTX 1080 TI?? 30% better performance than the standard GTX 1080. I am able to play any game fully maxed, ultra settings at 4k with an average of 80-100 fps thank you very much...
