DroidLife; HTC One (M8) Review
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/07/htc-one-m8-review/
Battery life sucks on the M8 ?
HTC claims that the new One (M8) could see upwards of 40% better battery life over last year’s M7, but I’m not I’m buying it. I saw average battery life in my testing on the 2,600mAh battery that wasn’t necessarily greatly improved over last year’s One. My testing typically includes multiple days in a row of nothing but 4G LTE, followed by a few with WiFi mixed in. On 4G LTE-only days, my phone was almost always begging for a charger after 10-12 hours of use and around 3 hours of screen-on time.
Per this review they say battery life is average at best, and not that good, only getting 3h On Screen time, and overall just like 10h - 12h of total battery life on the phone, and with WiFi on they get 14 hours total battery life.
I thought all the real world reviews of people, and other sites were raving about the battery life on this new One M8 ? getting like 5h to 6h On Screen time ?
That review was either based on bad 4g reception, or the reviewer was flat out lying. Also , what is "multiple days in a row"? That's not very scientific. Very bad reviewer in my book
I get very good o2 4g reception, but mostly use WiFi or no data. I have 30 percentage charge left when I go to bed and I get about 4.5 hours screen on.
Can't imagine why anyone would want 4g on all day long but to each their own. Personally I only use 3g on the go unless I really need super speed.
AnandTech's device reviews are the only ones that matter and they saw upwards of 70% improvement in battery life.
For me, the M8 battery is lasting at least twice as long as the M7. First phone I've had in a long time that can last in excess of 48 hours with my normal usage
Right now my battery stats say 1 day, 17hrs: 4h 28m screen on. The battery is currently at 48%
After reading more about that DroidLife, they seem very pro Samsung #1, and then Nexus devices #2, and anything else just sucks. Also one of the reviewers is known to be an HTC hater, per the comment section of regulars on that site.
Clearly they haven't used the M8 everyone I know is getting 4-5+ hours screen time.
The reviewer is flat out lying and a tool. Every other review says it's good and we all know it's good from owning and using one.

This was after my 3rd full charge/discharge cycle. 6 days on just reg power saver and light use.
It's all subjective... I get some 3 to 3.5 hours screen on time with auto brightness. I also have lots of apps background syncing and waking up the phone constantly. So it all depends on how you set up your phone, number of apps, usage criteria. So good battery life for one person may not be the same to other.
So no point to argue on battery life good or bad.

Good point, but for me 3h to 3.5h On Screen time would be extremely disappointing. I use my phone a ton during the workday, and realize I need at least 5h On screen time minimum, perfect for me is more like 6h On Screen time. I need a phone to last a full solid day, from like 6:00am to 10:00pm.
Coming from the Nexus 5 my battery life has been stellar in comparison to what it was. I'm very happy so far.

Lol, whoever wrote that review is taking out their ringpiece. I've had my m7 for 8 months and now my m8 for 2 weeks and the battery life is tons better.I don't have to carry a battery bank in my pocket anymore. When I take my phone of charge and stick it in my pocket it will stay on 100% for least 2 hours if I don't use it.my m7 would drop down to 94% in that time. Don't listen to stupid reviews like that. He is probably an Apple lover who is gutted that his once awesome device is now being overshadowed by an android phone AGAIN.
Depends on how you use the device. Anandtech and other sites show heavy use in weak signal areas can drain any device.

how much more battery are you getting? I'm not the N5 right now and debating on getting the M8.

I'm rocking both the n5 and m8 right now, and this is totally a subjective statement without any real numbers, but I find myself plugging in the n5 a lot more than the m8. I am using the m8 more now because I like it more and the n5 still drains away just sitting there. The m8 is on verizon and the n5 is on tmobile, both have good reception in the area. I feel like I could comfortably use the m8 for 2 days and 1 night until I would want to put it on the charger. I'd estimate that I use about 2-3 hours screen time, 1-2 hours talk time and <1 hour navigation per day. Just my opinion based on real world observations, I'm not really interested in detailed usage tracking or anything like that. It works great and I'm going to keep the m8 and ditch the n5 when the month is up.

I dont know about this reviewer... The battery life to me is incredibly good. I can stream 4g/3g music through spotify while working a full day(around 8-9h playtime), while snapchatting, while texting(regular texts) and while texting in Kik and also using the internet for other things.
Without power saver, and using Greenify to prevent most wakelocks, I'm avergaing 7-9 hours screen on time with 10-15% charge remaining when I go to bed the second night.
Reading all the reviews and comparisons of this phone to other flagships before I bought it, I thought I was going to be settling for sub-par battery life. I bought an extra charger for work so that I could make sure I had enough juice throughout the day.
But now, I feel like I've been lied to. This phone has the best battery life I've ever seen on a stock ROM. I'm never below 70% at the end of the day, and I average about 4-5 hours of screen-on time. My battery usage screen usually estimates that I'll get between 28-36 hours of life out of my battery. I charge it every night, so I haven't tested that.
Am I the only one? Did I get lucky? I really don't understand all the fuss I've seen about the battery.
I've only had mine a couple of days but it seems okay to me, better than my HTC One (m7). I ran it down to 20% last night after loading programs and playing with it all day, several phone calls, streaming Rhapsody for a couple of hours. I didn't check the stats but it was off the charger for about 14 1/2 hours. I have marginal cell service in the building where I work and that has always contributed to excessive battery drain. Overall I'm pleased, haven't had an LG phone since the flip days.
I think many people having battery problems are with T-Mobile. They've got a piece of support bloatware that kills the battery, and people in areas of poor coverage (T-Mobile!) will consume a lot also. Plus, both these things heat the phone up so it will charge slower.
My battery drains a lot faster when I setup few things.
In smart lock set trusted places. (this keep on checking for location every few minutes)
Enabled google now for all screens .
With these two the battery drained like open tap; disabled both of em and its very good for such a screen.
My G2 had much better battery life than the G4 . I've debloated , factory restored, turned off location, lowered brightness etc... My free battery will be coming shortly so I hope it is better
This should help answer your question. I have the worst screen on time with this phone, I hit over 3 hours maybe twice. 2 hr 30 mins is usually all i get. I attached 1000 screenshots to prove that lol. Get 4 hrs SOT easy on my M9 and Nexus 6. Fortunately, standby time is glorious on this phone.

Lol... I was thinking I posted this in the general (non-carrier-specific) forum.
Definitely not the g2 battery, but more than sufficient. Usually charge every other night 3-4 hours of sot. Minor debloating done.
Current stats... This is over 13 hours, went to the zoo and took a lot of pictures of the little one.

I get the same battery usage with the G4 "stock" as I did with the G2 "ROM'd and Rooted" which I would assume after the G4 is ROM'd and Rooted it will be better.
I went almost 4 days at one point with out charging my G2. Granted it was lighter use, but still.

This phone has the best battery life I've ever seen on a smartphone, period. And although I haven't been around for awhile, my first rooted smartphone was the HTC Evo, and there have literally been hundreds in between then, and now. So it's safe to say, that I've got my experience to be able to judge what's good and what's not. And although it's just my personal opinion, or I just got LG's one and only "super" smartphone that no one else got, and my battery is unlike anyone else's, it's highly unlikely. This battery is the shiznit, hands down. Not to mention, the LG G Pad X8.3, not to be confused with the older LG G pad 8.3, also has amazing battery life, and pretty much is just awesome all around. No lag, excellent wifi connection, excellent cellular reception, and, the specs are up to date if not advanced. Lg doing their thing right now, we just need to figure out a bootloader unlock and root, and we're good to go.

Yeah, this sounds like the kind of experience I'm having, which doesn't seem to be typical from what I've read. Maybe we're just lucky.
the only time I get crappy battery life is when I am at work and that's a weak signal area. While I'm at home I easily get 4 hours screen time and still have around 20% battery left. Very happy with the battery life.
Battery life reports are always going to be subjective. You never know the full use of a device. Most people focus on data, WiFi, brightness, sot, GPS, and Bluetooth. Never really here much about what apps and what's running in the background.

Agreed. I average only 2hr 30 mins SOT, but then, I keep my brightness on 100%, wi-fi always off. I go same settings on other phones, but get like 4 hrs, but weaker standy-by time
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I've been so surprised with all the people screaming about battery life and I'm like really? Because I haven't been able to kill this thing in a day yet. I am rarely below the 40's % mark at worst when I go to bed. I got the spare battery kit from LG but I haven't had to use it once. I suppose I'm just not as much of a power user as I once thought lol.
For those getting great battery life with 4+ hours SOT, out of curiosity, what screen brightness are you guys using? Do you have auto-brightness enabled? What apps are you actually using? etc. etc. etc.
I have found that the battery life on this phone, so far for me has been about average. No worse or better than I expected. I typically keep my brightness around 50%, have wifi on, and play a fair amount of games. I think the games running are what kills it for me for the most part. If I'm not gaming I can't possibly see using 4+ hours SOT. I get bored of reading things fairly easily.
That being said I just killed a bunch of bloatware verizon had manifested into my phone for no other reason than to make us angry. I also installed greenify to stop some background apps from running. I'm very interested to see if it gets better going forward.
Use lux from the app store for auto brightness. You can tailor to your preference.

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 3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Sounds great so far, knowing that the battery normally becomes better after 2-3 days of charging I hope that we will reach even better SOTs

SOT really depends on usage, and whilst I was one like many here that is obsessed with SOT, I've started to just use phones without really worrying about it. Plus Dash charge is a great addition (aside from having to carry the charger with you).
Used a few apps, specially Snapchat and Whatsapp. Got a screen on time of 3.5 hrs on 4G. Decent yeah. OPO had a tad bit better.

What's the stand by?
I bought it on the launch day and conducted the test the next day after a full cycle. At precisely 5 pm I unplugged the device, at 100%, Connected to wifi with brightness at 25%, with auto brightness off. The phone was at 3% the next day at 4 pm. I got about 5 hours and 15 minutes of screen on time, moderately heavy usage, the phone only lost 6% overnight. Made 15 minutes worth of phone calls, light gaming, lots of browsing and video watching. And some apps with location as well. My previous phone was a oneplus one and for my usage, it seems to be giving me better battery life.

I'm soo ****ing tempted to send my nexus 5x back and get the op3. 400 bucks is a steal with those specs. Also your SOT looks good. Are you using a dark theme and a dark wallpaper or not? From what I've read it comes prerooted?

Nope. Actually refrained from using the dark theme to see how well the battery does. And my wallpaper is the default never settle wallpaper. And no, it doesn't come pre-rooted.

Thanks for the info. Rooting that thing shouldn't be too hard anyway. Wonder how much battery you can sqeeze out with a dark theme / wallpaper? Haven't used an oled screen in years, though. Even more tempted now.
Time on: 7h 2m 41s
Computer power use: 534 mAh
I'll PM the Droplr link for the battery stats and SoT screens
I've using the following:
Dark Mode active throughout
Night Mode active throughout [ I REALLY REALLY LOVED IT, so I keep it on all the time.]
Apps used - Gmail, Excel, Word, Dropbox, Apple Music, Pocketcasts, Fenix, Messenger and Whatsapp.
Data usage is split over LTE and WiFi.
Battery was at 5% as I post this
If there is any other stat you'd like to see let me know
I'm getting exactly 5 hrs of sit for the last 2 charge cycles. Completely on wifi. No sim cards for now and moderate usage with low to no gaming.
I don't seem to see any questions about the battery life, what is the Screen On Time (SOT) for the Google Pixel 2 XL can people send some screenshots through of there's - Thanks
Bump this thread up. Come on guys don't forget the rest in the back of the bus, it's been 24 hours since some of you have had the phone - initial impressions on the battery life?
They are too busy to send their SOTs !!! ahaha
Million dollar question! Bump!
I've had the phone for just over 24 hours, so it's really too early to know anything definitive. From these 24 hours I can say this:
From a full charge early yesterday afternoon until I went to bed, I had over 6 hours of screen on time with periods of heavy use. When I went to bed, the battery had 26% left. I was on wi-fi most of this time, but I did spend about 2 hours off wi-fi in an area with sketchy signal.
This morning I've had a lot of work to do, so the phone has pretty much just been sitting untouched. 6 hours off the charger, on wi-fi, 31 minutes of screen on time, and the phone is at 98% (push/sync is off, ambient display off). I find that to be incredibly promising considering my original Pixel XL would have at best been down into the 80s on the battery percentage in the same scenario.
So far, I'm very happy with what I'm seeing out of the battery. But like I said, it's still too early to really tell where things will settle in. There are many reviews out there that go into more detail about battery life over a longer period, so I'd recommend checking those out until others here have had more time with the phone.

I used the Note 8 for a week and was never able to get more than 5 hours of screen on time under the same circumstances. Standby time also wasn't as good. I'll see how the next several days go with the 2 XL, but it's already impressing me more than the Note 8 on battery life.

Ive been averaging 6-7.5 hours sot with note 8, usually overnight it'll lose 2% which I thought was great, but I have high hopes for the pixel 2 xl with 8.0, I would imagine your battery life will only get better in next couple charges

I'm just lucky I guess. I'm not a heavy user. No social media stuff, no games, YouTube once in a while, wifi much of the time. Lots of phone calls, texts, and xda browsing. My 6p is 2 years old and still works great. I do have a P2XL on order, so I hope it works well. I will miss the ease, and amount of development on the 6p. But I'll definitely keep it for my backup :good:

Oh ok.....Your usage makes sense. I love my 6p....I had mine almost 2 years but the battery started dying prematurely so they replaced it out of warranty and without me having to use my Nexus protect either....and it was the rep's suggestion to see if he could attempt to do it this way.
I will miss my 6p....I don't like the pixel designs but then again I didn't like the 6p at first either....the best thing about them is how distinct they are from other phones. I also don't like the 18:9 ratio. 16:9 is better....the new ratio may feel better but it doesn't look better to me. But almost all phones are doing it.....actually what makes it worst is front facing speakers make the phone have to be even taller which sucks....the additional tallness looks better with a wider 16:9 ratio like in the 6p.
Got the phone Thursday afternoon with about 60%. Threw it on the charger around 6am Friday, but didn't quite get a full charge before I had to leave the house. Turned the phone on and it was somewhere in the 92-95% range (can't remember which exactly). At one point last night I checked and it was at like 7.5hrs SOT, which blew me away since I still had 20+% left (and I've been using Shamu for the last few months, which was back on the charger everyday by noon haha)! Took a look at the battery stats before I went to bed around midnight, and I still had 12% remaining, and the SOT was 8.39hrs! Granted, I'm not doing anything terribly intensive at this point in my life, as most of my usage consists of Messages, Chrome Beta, Inbox, Maps, some YouTube, some Duo and a few phone calls, but still! Obviously that was the first charge, and we'll see what happens as things settle, but we're off to a good start...got myself a full charge today, so I'm excited to see where she's at tonight haha
I'm a dope for not screenshotting it, but hopefully the results will be similar today so I can share
Hello
I just received my s20 plus for a week now and the battery life just like my old s7 edge after 4 years .. 3.5 to 4.5 SOT .
Is this normal ?
Same here mate, but this might improve with software updates.... At least I hope so

I hope.. i am afraid that the device has high power consumption design that with time should only get worse.
Give it 4 days to settle down. But yes it does drain faster than s10+. I knew that before pre-ordering but I thought Samsung would have figured something out...
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Guys this is completely normal for the phone to drain this fast, the phone is learning all your usage patterns in order to adjust the battery, use this time to go over the settings and tweak it to your liking. Also in the s10+ forum there is a battery optimisation post, go over there and apply it to your phone. Also maybe you are using the ultra high definition and 120hz, maybe start with that to tweak it.
Another thing is if you just restore the phone from a backup, this can bring corrupted settings that might be the culprits do factory reset and install all from zero without a backup.
''maybe you are using the ultra high definition and 120hz, maybe start with that to tweak it.''
thats physically IMPOSSIBLE now
I assume that you are using the exynos versions?

Second day, 120Hz is lovely but damn, I'm at home connected to my WiFi and it's draining like crazy, I'm worried how is it gonna look when I go outdoors to the college and will be using LTE. I'm on Exynos
I'm getting 2 hours of SOT through my day (7 am to 10 pm)
It's been a week that I've been using the Exynos version @ 120Hz RR. Battery life is way worse than S10+ on similar settings, tweaks and usage pattern.
I have charged my phone for the 2nd time and i get +- 5 hours of sot. I use everything on the phone, 120hz etc. The battery is still in the learning pattern phase...getting same battery life as I got on my S10+. I get roughly 24 hours with one charge and 6 hours is included when I sleep...The battery will get better. With my S10+ I got 24-36 hours of battery time with +- 3-5 hours sot...depending on usage...So if I can get the same or a bit better I would be very happy

True. Battery life is horrible. I don't want to use such a phone tbh

I'm reading pretty bad about the Exynos Ultra as well in different but reliable sources. It's a pain to have a primary driver that dies mid-day on medium usage, that era of "unacceptable batterylife" on a flagship is believed to be over years back. I remember me behaving in an uncivilized? manner with the ones who tried to defend Exynos S9+ in every online forum when the culprit was the SoC itself to start with..
no wonder they didnt want to enable 120hz at 2K res - it would kill the battery in 1h probably

7.5hrs screen on time? How? First person I've heard that high.
I have the S20+ with the snapdragon processor. I think the battery life is very good, way better than my P4XL. I have 4 hours sot right now and have 60% left. I'm using 120 hz refresh rate. I believe it has gotten better over time, either from "settling" or updates, or maybe my imagination, haven't actually checked but some nights I go to bed after a day of light use and I'm shocked at the battery left. I unplug at 6am and at 10pm I've seen 80% battery left. That's minimal use like I said, not a typical day.
I think the battery life is quite alright, on par with my second phone (OnePlus 7 pro)
Exynos/12gb ram/120hz: stranded on 12%, so it would be around 7.5hours of SOT in full day.
Note: got the phone 3 days ago, it's still settling.View attachment 4977585

I have the snapdragon version and the battery on this thing is a BEAST!
Going on 34 hours off the charger and 7 hours of sot. I have done nothing to conserve battery. Loads of apps/accounts syncing. I am super impressed. Way better then my s10+ was.
120hz on, about mid-brightness, I'm lasting all day use with my personal usage habits. Battery life is as good if not a bit better than on my Note 10+. Snapdragon here on T-Mobile. Mostly WiFi. But it's only been about a week of use.
Can't complain at all.
ETA: Also BT always on using with my Frontier watch and Galaxy Buds on occasion.
