Hello everyone I'm new in Android as I have just purchased One X 5 day ago.
Right now i'm using latest custom rom (ARHD 6.0.0) including ROM cleaner to clean up bloatware. But I noticed that the battery life drains quite fast unexpectedly.
Here's my regular usages starting today 8am-8pm:
-I on 2G network only.
-replied 5 sms.
-received/making calls for total 3 mins (4 times)
-listening to music with beats audio on 80% volume for 2 hrs.
-do some casual fb/internet surfing with wifi on (20mins total), wifi is off when not used.
From 8am-8pm, battery drain from 100% to 65%. Is that normal ?
Advice is greatly needed.
*1 more thing, I installed the corecontrol app to have 2 cores enabled. Could that be the reason why battery is draining fast as it is using 2 main cores and overwrite the "hidden" energy efficient fifth core of tegra 3 which is used to perform simple tasks ?
You should really look into the ARHD forum and please use the Search button.
There are a lot of threads related to batteries where I am sure you will find your answer.
35% drain in 12 hours with that usage is good.
Thanks.

OMFG ?!?!?! even using custom rom ???
So the battery life is looking not bad at all BeginnersTech on twitter tweeted these pics.
My Nexus 5 gets 1 hour of SOT extra, and the applications on the stats looks like they haven't been used for very long..
BUT, "Android System" is on top, meaning that maybe it was doing updates to google services and whatnot.

Your nexus 5 can make 7h SOT? That's plain bull**** (unless you keep it on a desk).
BTW second day by BeginnersTech on twitter with the s6 edge+, damn good if you ask me.

Check it out man, Reading and playing music, and some other minor activities.
I see people in the Note5 forums are getting great battery life so I'm expecting and hoping for the same. I could hit 6 hours SOT on the date occasion with my regular edge. (Although that was literally down to the 1% mark.)
Very nice
It seems there is a competition between the edge+ and the note 5 in battery.. both amazed me really..
I'll just leave this here.

So I know it's just one day and a little bit into my second run but this completely blows away when I was getting from my Nexus 6. I was lucky to get close to 5 hours of on screen time. Very happy with this change.
Oh yeah. Attachment
Attach please find some screenshot, this is my 3rd day with device.

Day one, sorry to crash the party
Brightness on 100% and 4G all day (verizon)
Well with 100% brightness and data all day it is normal to get 3,5 hours.. I see that I am going to get 5,5 hours with WiFi usage and brightness set at around 60% but I am only on my first charge cycle..

When you are in home and it is dark there is no point putting more than 60% or 70% since I think it is too bright. I am not talking Automatic option ticked here.. anyway this screen is amazing, if somebody wants to get like 7hours OST to show around here OK be my guest but real life is around 4-5 hours I believe (mixed wifi and data usage)
i get between 7 - 9 sot with my exynos note 4 if the note 5 can top this great but i doubt it
Another day of real world usage
Are you people that get 6 plus hours of SOT on mostly wifi? I just can't see getting that on the network, even with solid strength. The post above me seems more legit.

I've seen a pretty decent variance between wifi and 4g. So yeah I'm about 6 hours sot on wifi and closer to 4 on 4g depending on signal strength.
I've had this phone since Wednesday and since yesterday I've gotten some nice battery life. I'm on pace for 5+ hours of sot.
Hi all,
Now, I've never gotten great battery life (combination of screen on time and idle) with any phone. I don't use them all that much apart from bursts and my OnePlus 3 would get me 3 hours SoT tops within 24 hours before I need to charge again.
However since Nougat I'm struggling to get even 1 hour SoT.
I'm using Bluetooth, NFC, both SIMS and nothing else untoward. This is the same as pre-Nougat.
Anyone else seen their battery life die since the update
Try to use 1 sim. I have 3:30 sot for both sims. And 7 for 1 sim.

Batter life is great i suggest you do a clean install wipe everything on your phone after making a backup on your phone ofcourse and start again. I use 2 sims and i have an average of 5:30 to 6 hours sot

Hey Konvict
Can you answer these questions then please?
How long a period of time is that 5-6 hours of SoT over? 24 hours of standby?
What radios and apps do you have running that might eat battery?

I would say about 24 hours....i normally charge my phone at the end of the day when i have about 40-55 percent battery left but even then i usually have goften 2:30- 3 hrs screen on time depending on the day. I will attach a screenshot of my battery today and maybe u can take a look at it.
Actually today this nougat looks very good.
I'm getting awesome batter life.
First two pics from OOS 4.0
Last two pics from OOS 4.0.1
You both seem to be using both WiFi and multiple SIMs - strange then.
I can't use GSAM as I don't have root and Nougat stops the app by app recording of battery use for third parties, otherwise I could see what was happening.
I do have a number of email accounts, and messenger apps, but these sit dormant most of the day (i have no friends obviously lol)
Hmm, maybe a wipe IS needed.
You guys got a great battery life, I got 2:30 in my good days, never above it!
However, someone told me to switch Doze off from developer options, I just did that and I'm currently charging my device, will see if it do any good by the end of today "fingers crossed"
PS. I'm using Freedom OS 2.0 with clean install + using Bluetooth and 2 SIM (one for calls and the other for data)
I'm also noticing a big drop in battery life after switching from marshmallow to nougat on my OP3T. Cleared cache & did factory reset, as I always do. All apps and settings the same, and usage the same. Drain seems to be extreme, not sure what's going on. The battery life was AMAZING on marshmallow... kind of regretting switching now

Go back to the previous versions of Facebook and Messenger. These two have been draining battery like hell for sometime now.
EDIT: Try SuperSU 2.79 final.
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 Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Only 4 Hours screen on time....
I am getting a screen on time approximately about 4 hours meanwhile cell standby as 36 hours for an average usage (fb,watsapp,youtube).
Does it means I should not switch on my display but can attend and do calls ? Still using marshmallow as I have seen many disadvantages on noughat update by lenovo.Is this normal to lenovo z2 plus ...or mine is defected..

It is a bit strange, because I get around 5 hours SoT when playing a heavy game, and I rememeber seeing around 8 hours with moderate-normal use. Perhaps if you got the time try to backup your data and then reset the phone or upgrade to nougat.
What are these disadvantages you speak of?
Really so bad sot on 3.5k mAh battery?
No way. The sot is amazing. It's almost twice longer than Le Max 2(i have LeEco, my wife has Z2), especially in heavy use(gaming). Absolutely outstanding.

I have LG Q6. I'm happy with the phone except the battery. SOT on this is Max 4 hours. But most of the time it will be around 3:30 hours.
So i am thinking to buy this 2 year old phone because i want only compact phone. But I'm worried about battery sot. Users of z2 plus are saying 4 , 6+ and 8+ hours. It's confusing. Could some one please say what is the sot in real.

Now I'm at 5 hrs and 28 minutes of SOT, 15 hrs from the last charge, with 8% left.
I have 4 mail accounts, GPS always on, feeds, social networks, WhatsApp, telegram use Spotify a lot, browse and edit documents.
This phone is a very good deal for the price.
So I bought this phon about 3 weeks ago.
One of the primary reasons was the battery life since I'm not usually near a power supply.
But I've been struggling to get past 5 hours of screen on time on light to medium use.
Standby time is great though. No battery drain, but the moment I start using it, it starts tanking and like 1% every 3mins or so. I struggle to get a full day of use.
I'm running the May uodate, I updated while it was new so I don't know the performance before the update.
I've already reset once and wiped cache. Even in safe mode battery is still weak.
I need help fixing this.

It's decent 3G. Usually 3 bars when I'm at home, 4G at work but I use wi-fi there.
I wake up around 5am and by the time I leave at around 7 I'll be at around 80%. After just reading articles and scheming through social media
Right now I've been browsing Reddit and Tapatalk for the past 30mins and I'm already down 7% brightness is at minimum and I'm on 3G

I have now after 9 hours where I played the last 2,5 hours music and now 55%. Screen on time is 2 hours
yes battery life is not good for 4000 mah .for exemple redmi note 7 with same 4000 mah get way more battery life than a50 . for me i get 7 to 8 hours sot mixed wifi and 3g in one day ( 18 hours to be exact) .it drain 10 % in 9 hours when screen off .samsung need to improve battery life in future updates
Here's a quick tip
Samsung devices tend to drain a lot of battery because of app background usage
try to put apps to sleep ( apps that you need them only when you open them)
Also activate medium power saving if you need more battery
With normal use am getting around 9-10 and sometimes 11 SOT
With games and heavy use i get 6-7 SOT
all of this without any power saving option .
I debloted and now getting almost 9 hours of sot on normal usage on 4g always and dual sim on.. I mainly use for watching videos on youtube. Chatting telegram and whatsapp and calls 1 hour per day

How was the battery life before debloat. My phone didn't come with that much bloatware. It's not the Indian version and still on May update and there's virtually no stand by drain. Battery is significantly worse when using 3G
