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 Honor 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I can get over 4h SOT. Nice!

I have been averaging 6 hour OT. Let keep in mind I do not have any social media apps on my phone Had all google services running such as google now, and had my location on battery saving mode. I usually run map for about 15-20 minutes on average.

Really impressed.
WiFi and LTE all the time on, WhatsApp and Skype protected, web surfing and other normal uses. Better than my old Honor7.
Of course never charged.
Edit: it took me over 7 hours before I had to put it to charge.

During my first charge cycle after I started using H8, I got 4 hrs of SOT with 50 hrs of standby time. I put it to charge with 21% battery remaining so it should have given in another hour I think. I am a light user.
Will update once I have tested it through more scenarios and heavy usage.

I let PC Mark Work 2.0 run overnight with the screen at ~25% brightness in Performance Mode. It was in Airplane mode because the benchmark says notifications can interrupt it and this was the first time since getting the phone I've had enough time to run it.
I put it on the charger a few minutes before I remembered to take the screenshot. It was at 18% when I looked at it.

I can use the phone for 2 days, which is definitely amazing. With that in mind, I usually get about 5-6 hours SOT. Brightness set to 30 percent, Many apps (incl Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp) are protected. I'm a student so I turn the Internet off for about 6 hrs per day because the Internet connection in the school is just to bad.
Connected to WiFi as often as possible.
Not many games (nearly never in fact) but heavy Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat use.

it seems that the phone can average 4hrs SOT for moderate to heavy usage which is very good

During about 2 days of usage I have 4-5h SOT so I could say that combined 18-19 standby and the SOT is what I have which is really nice after my BB Z10. Mostly FB, Messenger, BBM, Chrome, Youtube and photography.

Hello, I just gotta say the battery works really good with this phone. I'm really happy I picked the honor 8

I've seen it on the Screenshots above and I see it on my Honor 8 as well.. Why is does the software need much more battery than the hardware? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Here it's 6-9 hours of screen on, average a little over 7. Maybe I keep the brightness a little low, people tend to say that it's dark but it's comfy enough for me. I mostly use WiFi and the same apps that used to drain my Galaxy S4 before it was evening. Now I can go to bed with 50% to spare.

Around 4-5 depending on how many games I play . I use it quite heavily as a phone too (I know, shock) so I'm more than content.

Standby time was close to two days

Played games etc. Took it from loading at 6.10 am ended at 22:00 with 4℅. Love the battery <3
Here the screens:

It depends on the network usage !
If you use cell data you're ready for 3-4 hours SOT
If you use Wi-Fi you can hope for around 7 hours

Yes.

Got 6 hours sot on my first usage starting at 90%, wifi only - internet/youtube/light gaming
Not impressive but decent, not as terrible as I thought sd820 was going to be aside from it being hot

Could be better but with all of the battery saving features you get, I don't have any issues with how long the battery lasts with the screen on.

You can also change the resolution to FHD. It will increase the SOT and FPS while playing videogames Great new feature :good:

6 hours of heavy usage with LTE would be very impressive, S7E exynos can pull off 6-7 hours in that regard.
6 hours with wifi and light usage is pretty typical even for mid range phones, my 7 years old iphone can pull off similar results in airplane mode.

No ****, eh? I am beyond happy with the SOT with this phone... hell, the battery period. My POS LG G3 couldn't go more than 3.5 hours SOT with light to moderate usage.

U are saying iphone 3gs was capable of 6 hours of usage

Lol standby or airplane mide note 7 would last a week. Easy.

Mine clocked 8 hrs with wifi, you tube, moderate gaming and online music.

I've managed about 17hrs SOT on my Note 5 once*
*Attatched to a battery pack lol

Snapdragon model note 7. Had 6 hours 30 minutes of screen on time, 3 more hours of standby, WiFi, Bluetooth, WiFi calling, and AOD all active, location set to battery saving, none of the power saving features active, spent lots of time in Firefox and Facebook messenger, watched a full movie from SD card at 100% brightness, sketched in autodesk sketchbook with the s pen for maybe an hour, and I still have 35% remaining. Been at full bars of reception all day, though, so no drain from low signal. Either way, I'm impressed. Especially coming from my HTC one m9, haha. And the phone stayed pretty cool all day, especially compared to the m9.

Hi, I'm looking at around 5 hours of SOT.
I believe I am experiencing severe battery drain on my phone. My phone doesn't last a complete day without needing a recharge.
Here are some quick stats.
- My phone has been on for 6h20m. Screen on for 2h17mn. Battery left is 58%. Although, I've turned on MAX power saving mode for about 1 hour or two today to ensure that my phone can last throughout the day.
- I usually have screen brightness at 50% or lower.
- According to the device maintenance app, and depending on past usage I have enough juice for another 6h50mn. That would lead to screen time of about 4 to 5 hours.
- I'm using dark themes whenever possible to reduce screen battery consumption.
- I've played a game for about 10 to 20 minutes today
- I've noticed that when my screen is on, every couple of minutes (maybe 5 minutes at the most) my battery percentage will drop by 1%.
- I mainly use my phone for gReader (RSS Reader with dark theme modee), WhatsApp (with black wallpaper) and the Economist.
- The top 3 items that have consumed my battery so far are: Screen (33%), Android OS (21%), Andoroid System (16%)
- I'm using two SIMs on my phone
- Believed to be Exynos. Bought it from the Middle East
- Always on Dispaly has 4 clocks on at all times. Probably using more battery.
Am I a heavy user hence why my battery is running out quickly. Or are there certainly issues with the battery?
Thanks for your feedback

I feel as if I'm getting horrible battery life as well. Been hard to tell being that I have horrible signal at work, if it doesn't improve with real world usage this weekend I'm going to phone att for a replacement.

SOT is a useless measure on it's own, doesn't tell anything about the battery life. I doubt you can get 6h SOT and that your phone can last until the end of the day. Yesterday I got about 4h SOT and around 14h uptime before I plugged it in again. Can't say that I am unhappy with that.

5 hours of playing Deemo and have 14% remaining, probably going to refund it for a S7E with exynos instead or keep it and sell it before S8 launches
Wifi only, brightness was around 30% auto. Not a gpu intensive game at all so not as impressive as it sounds. I believe the S7E exynos did 5 hours of pokemon go with max brightness.

I'm getting great battery. Better than my Nexus 6P, which I didn't expect. Seemed to run hot day 2, not day 3. Not...sure why. Love the power options, normally I hate to touch power saving.

Quoting myself here. Day 4 with the phone, 4:10 SOT with 18 h of on-battery time. Battery went down to 4%. Just a normal use, few videos, lots of music played (Deezer and Pandora), about 30m of Pokemon Go, news, etc. Once again, not unhappy with the results. I would prefer if I have another 5-10% left to account for the unexpected. Otherwise, all good.

Battery not as good as it should be?

Hi
I bought Lenovo P2 2 months ago and it's great except battery which isn't as good as it should be in my opinion
After 3 days of usage and 8h30m SOT it drained to zero, which isn't bad, but I was expecting much more.
I'm using mixed wifi and mobile data, around 2h of Spotify a day, some web browsing, no games at all
I also noticed that wifi and CPU are draining both around 20% batterry in the stats while screen drains around 18%, is that normal?

8h SOT after 3 days use with 2h spotify each day, some web browsing and mixed data transfer its ok for 5100mAh battery
And what ROM are you using ?

Good way to measure battery life?

I've been using a Pixel 3 XL for about a month and I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my battery life or not. There reason I worry is that I've ready a lot of posts online of people seeing they typically get 5 to 6 hours of SOT sessions, or even more, across a day, which I'm sure it would be impossible for me to achieve – I'm more like 3 hours SOT over a day session. However, given that SOT is not the best indicator, I was wondering if there is a good way for me to actually test if there's anything wrong with my battery?
Some details about my usage below. I would also appreciate if people could tell me if anything seems weird about the battery life I'm getting out:
I'm a light-to-moderate user, I charge once about every 24 hours and probably get around 2.5 to 3 hours of SOT in between charges. I recharge at around 20% usually.
Location is always on. Auto-brightness. I'm on Google Fi, so LTE is on, but 95% of the day I'm connected to good signal WiFi.
My overnight drain, with WiFi, data, and AOD off, is 4 to 5%.
I've been using AccuBattery and BBS and I don't think I have any rogue apps or weird wakelocks. I've got 100% battery health, and AccuBattery says my avg Screen on usage is 16.3%/h. With Screen Off is 1.2%/h (that's with ~2 hours every day used with screen off for Spotify or podcasts).
The most I've pushed the battery is to watch YouTube videos on it continuously one day, and I went from 100% to 15% over 4.5 hours of continuous streaming.
Thank you!

Sorry but that doesn't make sense. That's about 5 hours SOT from a full battery right there.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough.
So I could get 5 hours SOT if all I do is watch YouTube videos, no standby time, no other usage. So the phone would be dead in 5 hours. 5 hours SOT in a 5 hour session. But if I use my phone naturally through out the day, I get about 3 hours SOT for a 24-hour session. The posts I've seen from other people is that they get 5-6 hours SOT in a day-long session (18 to 24 hours). So in comparison my real-life use seems to not last as much as theirs.

13-Hour Screen-on-Time Battery Life?

Recently bought this phone and am getting 6-8 hours SoT at half brightness in 1 day.
I feel this is surprisingly low, considering many reviewers on YouTube are getting up of 10+ hours, with one even reaching 13 hours /watch?v=31twODBCnNU skip to 8.20 mins.
Through gsam it looks like apps account for 70% of drain (screen only 30%?), of which most seems to come from Kernel (Android OS) and Android System (see image links). I am worried this is what is draining my battery.
What SoT are people getting and how much battery is being used by Kernel (Android OS) and Android System?

If cell signal reception is good I get upto 10 hrs. In my work place signal is poor so getting around 7-8 hrs. Overall get 1-1.5 days easily

I can second that. In optimal conditions I get up to 10 hours of SoT.

Have you disabled any apps and services to get that SoT? I disabled some google apps i don't use, facebook app and some more, disabled aod, double tap to wake and still can't get more than 7-8 hours.

Never gotten 10 hours before. How did your manage that? Anyone else want to share their SoT?

My average SOT with medium usage (Browser, Youtube, Telegram etc) is 10+ hours. Wifi only, no cellular, bluetooth off, gps off, nfc off, auto sync off, brightness 60%, night mode on, black theme on most apps even keyboard, disabled a lot of samsung/google apps with package disabler, disabled all bixby stuff, aod off, all the gestures off except palm swipe, power saving mode medium with CPU limited at 70% (no lag whatsoever PUBG plays fine)
With heavy usage (PUBG) battery drains 10-12% per hour

I get 7 hours SOT with heavy usage , gps Bluetooth, 4g on both sims ,all other services active , still get 7 hours .
Sent from my SM-A705FN using Tapatalk

Can anyone post screenshots of their usage through device care/gsam app drain?

I usually get close to 11 hours with 20-25% brightness and adaptive power saving on.
Sync, location and wifi always on.
AOD - tap to show.

Overnight standby power drain is excellent...WiFi and mobile on.

My battery life, wifi and data on,everything else off

I get around 6-7 hours.. Wifi, mobile data, auto sync and AOD are always on. Never used any power saving feature. Playing clash royale and PUBG for about 45 minutes daily.

I usually get around 6-7 hours, but thats with heavy gaming and bad mobile data signal reception and with 20-25% battery remaining, cuz I think draining the battery often will affect the lifespan of the battery.
Off topic but I just want to ask, is 3gb ram used by the system normal? I have the 6gb ram variant.
