is it just me or is the kitkat ROM really sucks----battery pretty well?
I also notice that the CPU usage does not drop to 20 percent idle but when I used other ROM (JB based) it becomes 5 percent.
RAM usage is good but I think it hogs the CPU. I used cpuz on measuring the cpu usage

Where can I get the JB rom for OGP?
For me, Android was best at JB and went backwards with KK.
Yes, I've noticed absolutely horrible battery life with KK. KK just feels like it is several different parts all just thrown together.
The only reason I think is that theoretically JB uses more battery is that the system uses more voltage than the kitkat. however, what's less voltage use if the CPU is always busy and wakeups are just everywhere.
Hi guys, maybe you could post in some battery stats so we could know more about whats draining your battery in particular and suggest some fixes. I've actually experienced the opposite with kitkat-battery life for me improved. There was even an instance that I got the phone to last 30 hours, with 5 hours, 48 mins. screen. On another instance I got 15 hours life and 5 hours 25 mins screen on. I just lost the screenshots as I had to reflash stock when i was doing some G3 mods., but nevertheless i could post some new ones.
I value batter life was well and i'm curious to see how yours could be improved too..

What a battery life. 15 hours screen time?
how can we accurately measure? because I only use CPU-Z and installed DS battery saver to save power. right now it only used 2% of my battery during the night. (from 1:45 - 5:50am)
I see. can you tell me what app should I use to determine CPU usage of each app/service?

No, my battery lasted 15 hours, and my screen-on time (total time i spent using the phone) was 5+ hours coz i basically used my phone then for gaming the whole day I suggest you download gsam battery monitor app (it also has a temperature_bat. Usage graph), as well as wakelock detector. Another alternative would be better battery stats. What you would need to observe would be the apps and wakelocks draining your battery both when you are using your phone, and also when its idle.
I also notice that battery capacity is 2A in which it should be 3.140A right?
this shows on kitKat but on jellybean, it's 3.140A again.
is there something wrong with the detection of battery capacity?

What happened was that in kitkat, the permisssions required to be able to access battery stat files changed. Thus, apps w/c could freely access the batter stats in JB cannot gain complete access in Kitkat. This is the case for some battery monitor apps w/c now have lesser accuracy in reporting battery. No worries though, as there are means to bypass this problem. If you have xposed you could install a module for this. Also, some apps like gsam battery monitor come with a separate root companion app. Once you install those batter stats will be accurate.
Here's a screenshot of my battery stats for today..might not be 5+ hrs of screen on as i did a lot of rebooting today (themed with g3 tweaksbox). Nevertheless, this is just to show that kitkat has the potential to provide good battery life. Also enclosed is a screenshot of one of the battery apps i use, gsam.
Hey everybody! I have some findings I absolutely must share so you can benefit as well.
I've been doing some tinkering and I've find a way to significantly increase battery life on the OGP.
First thing you'll want to do is put your phone into airplane mode.
Second, turn your screen brightness down as low as it will go. I mean, all of the way down.
Third, don't play any games on your phone.
Try those three tweaks and see what kind of battery improvement you get.

Just so you know, first my cell radio and wifi were both on the whole time. Second, i was on auto brightness the whole time. Third, i played clash of clans as you see in there.
If you have not done this already, adjust your cpu to save your battery juice. Set the cpu governor to powersaver or interactive mode if you just using the phone to send msg and make calls. I let my phone run on msm-dvcs and when I'm not plug in. Check out ROM toolbox if you're rooted. Seriously folks, instead of complaint about how much the roms suck the juice, try these different ways to see they make any difference for you.

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 ZTE Axon 7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
One of the better SOT phones I've owned since coming from smaller 4.5 inch screens. I easily get 4 hours on a long day (16 -18 hours off the charger). I watched 2.5 hour movie the other day and did some more stuff. In 8 hours, I had over 5 hours of SOT with 47% battery left.

I don't like gsam because it doesn't read the SOT from the system. It records it's own stats.
GSam battery monitor allows you to see the stock android battery stats and screen on time from there by going to the menu on the bottom right, clicking more and then Battery Use - Built In. If there is an easier way to get to stock android battery stats, I'd love to know.

Nothing special, really? It's basically stock, I just disabled some stock apps: Browser, calendar, stock email, Gmail, Hangouts, and stock messaging. Everything else is left alone.... I even installed the actual Facebook app (aka: battery eater) for the first time in a few years, since my battery can keep up now.

No screen on time. I am in an area where I get no service and was using WiFi, so today I turned on Airplane mode and then WiFi and it seems to work a lot better. though I still need to investigate is battery drain is bad when using the phone in normal service area.

This is the best phone I've owned in terms of battery life. With nova launcher and using nova's battery widget I can see my SOT. I average 5:30 which is alot for me. I have gotten as much as 6:40! This is all usually over 12-28 hrs. The phone is just phenomenal, just wish the camera was better.

I would believe it. I got about 5 hours in my last run. What I think ate up about 20% was listening to music through the speakers.. The phone drained faster than normal Witt the speakers on at max volume.. Which makes sense and is 5000% tolerable because how amazing they sound.
Furthermore, if I could get some stronger cell phone signal, that would help with screen on time too. I never have no signal, but I never see over two bars of signal either.
Sorry about double post.. Forgot to include second one..
Ok, I thought this was a battery beast but I think I was wrong. I don't expect any phone's battery indicator to be totally accurate but I've noticed that if I top the A7 up a little the battery doesn't drain *at all* for a long time. I've been letting it go down to 30% then topping it up to 40% where it stays without moving even while I'm streaming music and surfing for half an hour. Fishy.
I thought that as I was on about 3:30 sot at 40% I'd let it go down further to see if it would reach 5 hours. Three charging cycles in a row the phone has hit 19% and then reported that it's empty and shut down.

I keep my display down pretty low too. Still eats battery pretty fast. But my g4s batt is 18 months old now. Its actually a good thing the screen using as much as it is u want it higher.
Now you gotta figure out whats eating the rest. My screen usage is about 65% And I still get about 2.25 hours. Your SoT is a little low. average that ive noticed is about 2.5 to 3.5 hours
So what batt stats are telling you is that in 1.5 hours SoT about 45% of that is screen usage u have 55 % of other apps and hardware using power.
The g4s screen is a power hungry beast so ImO the best way to get more SoT is to shave down what else is using battery.
Do you have a bunch of bloat or updating widgets and apps going?
Some devices have a issue with i believe is called logd some sort of log services.
And others have issues with carrier iq draining battery pretty bad.
How old is your g4s battery? Maybe its time for a new beefed up one.

So I am loving my new Pixel 2 XL, but i have noticed my battery life isn't nearly as what i see on the review forms. like with light usage only 2 hours of being unplugged, im at 77%. I came from my nexus 6 and transferred all my apps from it so it might be an app sucking my battery life? i don't know. any suqqestions would be good. I am rooted with magisk with the GMS Doze addon to try to help with this problem
It could be anything. At least with the root access, you can get many decent apps to track the apps that may be causing this. The battery on my 2 XL (stock) has been spectacular so far. I was a little bit worried that 8.1 may change that, but seems like it is even better now. For the first time in years, I am not worried about the battery at all. Even if I forget to charge overnight, I am OK going to work with about 40% of battery as I know I can get home with still something left in it. The only reason why I often check battery stats is because I still can't believe what is going on.
I am. Getting great battery life also rooted

Check which app is draining the battery. My brother's unit for some reason had Google Play service draining 46% of the battery. After I flashed back to factory (without wiping) and enrolled the phone into beta program for the service. That worked out for him. (version 8.0 November patch)
My battery life has taken a significant hit since going to 8.1. No new apps (a few app updates through) but it is a noticeable difference from just a week ago. It's still impressive, but prior to 8.1 I would be at 70-75 at this point in the day with around 2 hours screen-on time, currently at 60% with only 1.5 hours screen-on time. I just got super spoiled for about a month or so with absolutely incredible battery life. Now, I have to live with "just" very good battery life.
First-world problems.

That's my experience as well. I haven't done anything to tweak my phone to try and get better battery life. I'm 100% stock. No unlocked bootloader. No root. Just out of the box. I'm getting 7-9 hours SOT over 24-32 hours depending on what I'm doing.
What I have noticed with 8.0 it use to drain a lot slower the first 30 to 40%, then it will drain faster, in 8.1 it is more consistent, I still average 7 to 8% SOT per hour and .3% an hour when screen is off. The phone still last 2 days with 7 to 8 hours SOT and I will be at around 25 to 20% still available. I had the phone since Oct. 20th and based on Accubattery I have charged it only 25 times in total
Remember that they fixed how battery life is calculated with the update. Also, you can looks under Background check under developer settings to stop specific apps from running in the background

That's some heavy battery drain, mine wasn't that bad, but close. If you spend most of your day somewhere with a weak mobile signal, try switching off "Mobile data always active" from Developer options. My office has very bad signal, and by switching off that setting, my battery improved a little bit. Nothing major, but it was noticeable.
Mine has changed noticeably, though not anything enough for me to be concerned in my daily use. Still getting 7 hrs SOT, just less stand-by time.

I rooted mine for like 2 weeks. I ended up relocking the bootloader and unrooting it. It just runs better that way.
This was me leaving it screen off unplugged for half the night and I can tell you right away the walelocks don't look right but I can't figure out what. https://imgur.com/a/SPIdL
I'm getting 7 hrs of SOT consistently. Not even close to sub par for me. That's heavy use as well.
I've noticed that many times people with poor battery life transferred everything from another phone. It seems like a crap shoot compared to starting fresh. Pre and post 8.1 I'm getting 6 to 7 hrs sot using around 55% brightness and mostly lte.
Seems like a lot of people are experiencing battery drain from Google Play services 11.9.51 (including myself).

So i factory resetted and reinstalled all my apps and stuff and still not getting good battery life. in 30 minutes from a full charge i was down to like 85% and that was just from listening to music

Hi to all F3 owners hope your enjoying your new toy?
Only query / disappointment for me so far is that battery life is nowhere near as good on Fold 3 as it was with Fold 2.
1.5 hours light usage today and I am down to 58% - mostly indoors and on WiFi
I expected the latest Snapdragon 888 to have as good of not better power management than last year's CPU.
What is other F3 owner's experience?
WhatsApp has been running for 25 mins and eaten ~30%? You have something deeper going on there it looks like.
Digital wellbeing is a battery eating feature itself. Turn it off and you will get more battery time.

A completely different list of apps with top battery usage is shown with the 2 screen shots...hmmm
This happens with every release of every new phone. It always takes a few days for it to settle as it's downloading apps, settings, updates, etc. It's WAY too early to compare battery life. Give it a week.
Give it time to take a calibration and you to stop using your device not in the muscle memory you and the phone will develop.
Then they'll push a firmware upgrade that destroys all that hard work you and your new fold put in getting to know one another.
See Buds+ battery stat.
Only paired them with phone 2 hours ago to so recording 10 hours of background battery usage is quite an achievement
I reckon the battery usage stats are unreliable on my Fold3 ...
Estimated 15 hours on a full charge..... Spectacularly BAD if accurate long term
Battery drain (mostly standby) in first hour is 6%

Total app usage in 90 mins since coming off charge is 1.9%
Therefore standby drain is 4.1% per 90 mins. Not ideal.

I'm having a 6h30 SOT with lot of web browsing and gaming with mainly usage of the big screen so not bad at all for me
Update: today I put !y SIM card in another phone and used Fold3 on WiFi only
Normal battery drain and good SOT
Can only hope September OTA improves network radio power consumption

Thanks for the feedback ! I'll try disabling my sim (esim) for a day to see if it makes a difference

Accubattery estimates 6hrs SOT time is, which I think is a out what I got from Fold2. My previous high battery drain does appear to have been network / radio related
