Planning to pick one up soon and was wondering what were people's average sot numbers? Also how fast does yours charge from 0-100%?

Me 4-5 hours and 2h charging time compare to my old 6P i am very happy.

Why does it actually take so long to charge? Mine also takes like 3-4 hours from 0% to 100%.
I don't charge mine to 100% or let it go under 20% but it still takes hours to charge. It usually holds
1½ hours screen on time.

Battery life
If i install Android Revolution HD 33.1 and Alex 2.6 pa3 would i get much better battery life then viper 4.1.1 with Alex 2.6 pa3?
I see in gsam battery monitor that app usage is often at 80-90% and screen and phone radio the rest.

How is battery life on your P8000?

Before buying this phone the huge battery was one of the reasons why I chose this phone. But I'm not impressed at all by the results I'm getting, I am struggling to get a full day from 100% and charge time is about 3-4 hours for 0-100%.
The most screen on time I ever saw without recharging was 7 hours, now it is difficult to get 4-5 even though it takes me about 4 hours to charge it to 100%. My previous phone, xperia sp had a 2400mAh battery and gave similar results on similar usage and charge time was 2x quicker.
I've tried quite a few ROMs to see which gives best battery life(currently on Nexus), they all give similar for me. One friend says after one day of heavy usage on stock,he'd have about 60% left so it can easily last him 2-3 days.
I'd like to know the battery results of other P8000, I've been getting results like this since I got the phone in late August 2015

Mine lasts 24hrs with 8-9 hrs SOT, 48hrs with 6hrs SOT+ but I do not really game on my phone, mainly youtube, Chrome calls and text. My phone used to take ages to charge also but I brought a quick charge usb cable and fully charges in about 3 hours now.
You can install Better Battery Stats from the play store to see if its an app you use thats killing your battery.

Four hours charge time is about right,forget Elephones quick charge ability just phooey.Any way a slow charge is better for the battery.
Partner after a days use phone Facebook and general browsing has over 70% left so no problems with her usage.
Greenify made a big difference to my battery life. But you need to root the phone to use it properly.

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 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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:

What SOT is impressive for you and what phone is that ?

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

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.

perfect
6-8 hours. usually over 40 hours.
I haven't actually run out of battery in a day yet. I usually recharge every night and go to bed around 60% regularly, with at least 4 hours SOT. I think the longest I've gone in a day is 8 hours SOT over 19 hours, with ~30% battery remaining.
According to AccuBattery at 41% I will have 4h 40m of screen on time (since that's it's current %). Pretty amazing!
5000 mah battery and 4h SOT??? Wtf my 5.5 inch lenovo zuk with a 4100 mah battery is getting me 4-5h sot now after a year and a half of exploitation.
9-10 hours over 2 days consistently.
I've been getting 10 to 10.5 hours SoT, this is using 4G, facebook, reddit, youtube. If they camera was a tad bit better this would be my ideal phone.
This is by far, the best device I've owned.
For lots os reasons, I need a device with dual sim with everything turned on.
Been using it for 5 months, with dual SIM, Mobile data (mostly 4G), Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth (paired with LG Urbane, JVC T110BT as also on car), auto-luminosity.
After all these time, the average battery life (considering complete charges) is about 40h (max was something close to 60h) and an average SOT of 9h (max was near to 12h). The average phone usage is 2h per day and the data (4G+Wi-FI) is about 500mb/day.
Never, never had something with such battery endurance....

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.
