Battery Life

How is your battery life? Please discuss here. Please use screenshots from gsam battery monitor to illustrate what your getting.

I have no idea how the real-life battery was on the G2 and Z3, although I heard it was amazing. The HTC One M9 should outperform the M8, and that's quite good already. With the S810 and still going with the 1080p screen it should be noticeably better than the M8. The battery is bigger in the M9 aswell which should bump its battery performance even more, was it like 200mah more on the M9 vs the M8? Thought it was something in that range. The fun thing i'll be looking forward to is how it compares to the S6/ Edge with its 14nm SoC and 2k display (the S-AMOLED should help with battery usage). Should be a close race I imagine

We don't know yet because the final hard- and software haven't been released yet to the public.

anybody heard about this foolishness? i dont belive it one bit

The main problem that everybody has with the overheating is the software is not complete. there running these stats illicitly on software thats not even finished.

there putting a bad taste in peoples mouth based on false information

Yes, in a literal sense, the software on the M9 that tweakers was using is not final, but the embargo was set to lift yesterday, so I think it's likely that what tweakers' reported would be reflective of the end model.

lol buts its not the end model and thats coming from HTC themselves even if an embargo is lifted its just not final why make judgements on something NOT FINAL.

wow rough day for HTC today all the reviews come out at the same time and they all say the same thing battery life is not good at all not better than the htc one m8 either

people are still on that cuz... now thats it stopped the benchmarks are down and comparable to 805... plus the battery life aint better than m8.... not against HTC but not FOR as well now...

based on this article most of these reviews are based on non final software. It looks like HTC released the final software like the day of most of these reviews. So battery life will be better on this new software. Im waiting for part 2 of this article and any other reviews coming after this newest update that came out today to give a final thought of battery life.

anybody that has the phone as any gsam battery stats to post on here after a full days use would be really helpful to many people on the edge of buying this phone based on some negative reviews for battery life its been getting.

[Q] How is battery life compared to G3? (g3 owner willing to buy g4)

So, title self explain. I have G3 and want to ask to someone who made the upgrade from G3 to G4. Is the battery about the same as G3 or is better?

i had G3 and recently i bought G4 not much difference but lets say the G4 win with alittle bit but from my opinion i didnt see abig difference

advice :Stay away from G4--- this device has too many hardware issues

Tell us how much sot/run time you get from the G3 ?
and which variant is it ? 2GB or 3GB RAM.

Don't feed the troll :good:

i was planning to buy the G4, so i looked at some reviews. GSMArena said that the battery life on the G4 is a downgrade from the G3.
The Endurance rating worked out to 54 hours, 9 hours less than the G3. The issue was with the high standby power draw, which puts a strain on the battery even when you're not using the phone. The other disappointment was the talk time, which couldn't reach 17 hours - an 8 hour drop from the G3.
We reran the tests several times and kept getting the same results.
Anyway, the web browsing time was pretty good - nothing spectacular, but good. It also marks the only improvement since the G3 as the video playback is below average for the flagship class.

ok. where does it make a direct comparison to the G3. the video is kind of hard to follow. Unless he has both phones in the same video and do a same battery test, you can't really compare the g4 to g3 with this video. the OP just has to decide which source he deems more reliable.

yes because this is a difficult subject so keep a note when he talks of the sot's under different conditions.
Had to watch it a couple of times but i got it in the end. See the comments too.
What is your expectation of sot/runtime ? How much do you get with your curent device ? what is your current device.

There is no difference between G3 and G4 for battery life max i can get 4 and half hours for battery life and minimum only almost 3 hours SOT. Maybe if next LG device is like this battery life i need to change to another brand

Yeah my experience in two days....Touchscreen issues untill i updated to V10C which fixes the touchscreen issue but decreases battery life to the extent where u can literally notice it drop before your eyes. The power saving used to work fine before v10c now even tho i turn it on immediately it wont kick in untill battery reaches 15% ( u will know when its on because the statusbar will change its color to red)...... And yes the back buttons are loose and feel wobbly. There is a pink shade in my front camera when there is sunlight in the background....ummm what else......i am damn sure even the cheap chinese phones coming out will be better than this piece of junk. I shud never have bought it

Dont expect anything crash hot from the battery performance. It is nothing like what i expected. If you want good battery life go with samsung s6 or even better the sony xperia phones. Xperia has best battery life. So G4 wont do you any good with battery life

3h sot, lots of complaining, 4h+Sot less complaining or it goes silent. Seen this a few times now. That is what surprised me. Until you realise that people find 8h run time too short but once it gets into 12-14h+ its ok. Its the standby time that is more important.

I currently have the nexus 4 and i think the most screen on-time i can get before my phone dies is 3 hours, but usually it's in the low to mid 2 hour range before i have to run to the charger. But the phone never last more than like 12 hour of usage (or a 8 hour workshift+ work traffic) as i constantly surf the web, music, and always checking my phone.
I want something like xperia z3 compact or note 4 battery life, but those phones have some things i don't really like. With the G4, i do plan on buying those high capacity battery (like mugen, hyperion, etc..) if the phone does fall below my expectation.

How bright do you like your screen. if you can manage with less brightness ie 30-50% you can add an hour of sot.
for reference, 3-4h SOT on data and 4-5h sot on wifi only with 65-70 brightness. mixed use means somewhere in between, 4h sot. high brightness means low to mid 3h, less brightness 4-5h.
sot/run times you can expect 3h /9h, 4h/12h, 5h/14+h is normal with stock.
Are these figures you can live with ? xperias & note 4 will give you an extra hour sot on top. that extra hour means 2-4h longer run time.
you dont need to carry those bulky batteries unless your phone absolutely needs to be on, just swap the battery out in a couple of minutes.. Not hot swap, have to power down.
How important is bootloader unlock and roms for you ? some people are forced to stick with original and forego firmware updates to preserve bootloader unlock. this means if any improvements are made in subsequent updates they can't use them and are stuck with whatever bugs are there in the older firmware. Stuck with bugs and waiting for roms can be frustrating.
For some one used to nexus 4 being able to flash anything and everything, G4 might seem a bit boring for you, Nexus 5x ? you dont care for replaceable battery or sd card. just get the biggest onboard memory possible

Yep all wifi, don't have a data plan . wifi signal varies to maximum signal to no signal at all lol. But i do turn on airplane mode when i'm on the train for example. My brightness is set to adaptive brightnes on @ 50%ish
I'm actually avoiding the nexus line in the future lol since i really want sd card slot and removable battery (and good/excellent battery life), usb OTG (particularly usb audio out), and a device that can officially unlock bootloader like the g4 H815. and to be honest, stock android ui is sometimes boring and it never has features u see on like xperia, htc, or samsung devices. And I can just do all my flashing needs on my Nexus 4 when the habit kicks in lol. Overall, on my next phone, i just want options and upgrade/replacement possibility

Then you can expect a 4-5h sot/12-14h run time with normal use. Good enough ?
web browsing won't eat up much battery, its push notifications and constant syncs over weak signal that do it faster.

IMO the g3 was garbage...i had 2 that had emmc failures and all 3 i had overheating issues...battery sucked...only pro was there was a good bit of development...i love my g4...only device i miss over my g4 is my g2...battery life is great with minimal tweaks and greenify...my last run was 5 h 2m sot and 47.5 standby...h81110n

Great Battery on LOS Nougat roms!! :)

Hey folks. I'm sharing something nice i've been using for a week that I am very happy with.
First of all, I'm a humble guy and I'm not into coding like many respectable members from here are.
Since I changed to Los based ROM ( ressurection remix + dragonxia kernel- thanks to pappschlumpf, the only complaint I had was the battery. With MIUI ROMs battery used to last a lot ( at costs of performance and limited multitasking, I must say), and this was a nice Thing
After googling a little bit, I found out on XDA another thread belonging to people who uses the OP3 smartphone. On that thread they've created a project called AKT that states for advanced kernel tweaks.
So thing is, those tweaks were first released for snapdragon 820 processor, but latest versions supports tweaks on our Chipset (snapdragon 821). Using the instructions on the thread I was able to get a good battery with consistent performance ( need more time to quantify - I'm using zana balanced profile), much better comparing to stock settings. Its also good to remember that not all settings are applied because of the limitations of the kernel..
So here is the link:
:cyclops:

Hope it helps you if you were having the same problems as I was, any other suggestions are also welcome

I agree with you my friend, and I think the more suitable world to describe it would be "better"
Since this is the first week im using AKT, im running some tests and varying many of the profiles on my daily smartphone use, so my battery levels aren't consistent to a fixed kind of profile
Anyway, As other user said, if you are on a LOS ROM you will notice how battery drain is very high. If you try it you will see the difference, and I think it's worth trying since it's free..

Here are some screens of my battery life. Used battery (ZHANA)profile in akt app. And 15% performance profile to play mupen64 games.
So u see batterylife is amazing in my opinion. And still have 20% left
I think the phone would make 18Hours battery with one charge.

That's very nice results, but:
1) Do you have problems with notifications on this MIUI rom(like messages not arriving at the real time when the phone is on standby)?
3) Do You also keep GPS ON?
2) Have you tried a LOS ROM?

Thanks,
1. Since background activity is restricted; nothing comes in background. Besides; I always disable whole notifications, led, for all those apps. I only check them when i want lol.
2. Yes, I've tried LOS for 15 minutes then returned to miui immediately.
3. I use navigation sometimes, it reduces SOT remarkably, that's why i keep it off when it's not needed.

Hey, I got it and I agree with you, the best battery of this device is from MM MIUI.. But still you are keeping notifications not delivering properly and keeping GPS OFF.
Its a personal taste of course, but On LOS ROMS this phone is almost perfect, as another user mentioned here. On MIUI I had many problems about my notifications ( I didn't receive them without a significant delay) and with multitasking options, even disabling the tweaks to save battery.
Not to mention that MIUI is not customizable as LOS..
As I agree with the other user, this phone is a BEAST with LOS ROMS..
The only problem with LOS roms I had was the battery and the camera ( yea the camera has a better consistence on point-and-shoot mode on miui).
With this mod, battery is very good and acceptable, WITH GPS ON AND LTE ON AS WELL. For me, so far, it's lasting more than 12 hours with around 3:30 sot, LTE on and GPS on, and that's great :laugh:
I think we'll have the best battery and performance when xiaomi releases official release nougat for our device

Side note; my all day Gps on for Navigation, Lte on usage was like over 5H sot/14H total. Damn tough battery though. My first Xiaomi device but I've been using Miui on my previous devices. I will keep miui on it until frickin xposed shows up for Nougat. Ps. Never flashed a Miui nougat rom yet

Konstantine, everyone understand that the battery is BETTER on MIUI ROMS. No discussion about it. What I'm talking about is a good battery that can last a Day with GPS, LTE on all the time, with no battery saving apps ( or background data restrictions), ON LOS roms. LOS ROMS .
If you use it on miui, I really don't know the results, but I think the battery WONT BE BETTER THAN IT ALREADY IS on miui Roms ( most specifically epic rom), if you use this mod
So, If you ever plan to try LOS roms, give this mod a try, it's nice.

Is the LeEco le pro 3 Elite worth it in 2018?

Hi,
as the title suggests this smartphone is currently my top pick, i have a tight budget (120 euros/140 dollars); and the Le pro 3 sits comfortably at 116 euros shipped.
Would you recommend it? I have zero experience with modding but i'd like to learn; are the chanches of hard bricking it (x722) high? I would not be able to replace it for while.
Thanks!

At this price you can't get any better.
A few phones at this range might have a bet camera and the official support is almost non-existent, but it's beautiful, well-constructed, has good battery, a good community and it's super fast and smooth. Is runs everything without lags and the processor is equivalent with the ones of iPhone 6s Plus and Samsung Galaxy S7, 300€/400€ phones.
There are currently 13 Oreo ROMS for it and will surely be more, P included.
As long as you flash files compatible with x722, you will not brick it.
Normally, it costs 150€, so run for it. NOW!
P.S. I think you posted in the wrong place, maybe you can ask a moderator to move the topic.

Thanks! Just ordered it
My bad, i thought this was the right section, sorry.

It still worth it AS A FLAGSHIP.

why should be worth? you have a "OnePlus3" inside as hardware.

The right place would have been the questions and answers section.
Just make sure you use the ROMs for the x722 some are universal some are not if you stick with the le pro 3 elite x722 development section you'll be pretty safe as long as you're careful and read everything in the first post you should be OK just make sure and do a full backup in twrp and copy it to your PC in case of problems. If your unsure about something don't do it till you're certain you understand the guide. Good luck

Yes and no.
If you want a phone that just works then get something else. Yeah, the Le Pro 3 has better looks and internals than other phones but the software is never perfect.
Currently all Oreo Roms drain the battery pretty fast, battery life is still good but not outstanding anymore. Also there are always some other minor issues like a wonky signal, app crashes as so forth.
The Redmi Note 4 or Mi A1 are the obvious other choice. You're getting a more "stable" package but the phones don't feel as premium, the RN4 also has worse camera.

Ah ... bullcrap. What does it mean "Oreo..drain the battery pretty fast"?
In technical terms, I charge the battery in the range 20-85%, and this delta of 65% = 2,645 mAh.
That charge lasts me a week (my Nokia E71 would not last that long).
Standby discharge + some usage = avg. 0.5%/hr (20mA/hr), airplane mode overnite = 0.1%/hr (4 mA/hr)
Maybe A1 with Nougat lasts longer with smaller battery, than X72x with Oreo...
And the RN4? To beg the commies for letting me to unlock my phone?
Really?
At this moment, the X722s (X720s long gone) are disappearing from the [Chinese] warehouses, ergo the price went over $200,
but if one doesn't have to pay any duties/taxes ... it is still a bargain for this 2 years old phone. https://tinyurl.com/ydamcw9y

Thanks, i've already ordered it so not much i can do now.
Will oreo roms improve over time? Or is oreo itself that drains more battery?

Don't worry, the phone is fine. The battery still lasts quite long but I haven't gotten 9h screen on time on any Oreo ROM anymore. Things are constantly improving, you just need to spend a little time to reading the forums and flashing a new ROM now and then.

For me, Oreo doesn't drain the battery, i can play demanding games for 6 hours. SOT can last for days(and I'm using performance mode)

Don't worry. I have 8h/9h of SOT with AEX rom and Blackscreen kernel.
Just follow the instructions and get support in telegram, xda, google +...
The xiaomi phones referred are pure crap comparing to Le Pro 3.p

Thanks, do you mind sharing your rom/kernel?
After skimming throught the forum i think i'm going to flash AICP, it comes with a kernel that should help tuning performace/battery, right?

Latest aicp, using blackscreen 5.1r2 oc (latest) (and after, in settings you can set to battery/balanced/performance profiles, tweak with lspeed and than with kernel Adiutor... I tweaked my phone for maximum performance (+ battery) that's why i have only 6h hard/demanding game session)

Blackscreen is always present by default I have AICP.
Anyway, you can use almost at any rom.

Oc kernel is not included. You can find it on dev sections.

Just trade p20 pro for this and a laptop, need advice on battery replacement

Looks like my xl 2 is in need of a battery, she drains from 100--->80 in the first hour I'm home. I've found many online but thought I would ask the community if anyone has found a reputable dealer for replacement batteries. I've had issue with past iPhone batteries being less than stellar.
Also ****ing love this phone, couldn't have gotten rid of my P20 fast enough!

Try rooting and using Flash Kernel. Insane battery life.

Just wasn't a fan of the stock EMUI and then there wasn't much in the world of roms or kernels. I mean project treble was nice, I loved the havoc rom as it ran smooth and had some nice customization. It just didnt have the notch figured out yet or some other P20 pro specifics fingerprint etc. I wasn't blown away by the battery by any stretch even since, day one. The camera was however quite impressive, the night mode especially and great portraits. Soon as I got my hands on this pixel though, fell in love and not sure why it just, its just a nice device haha.

Will try that not before heading out for work, I just can tell by a few small features on the device that its not spring chicken so my assumption is its at least a year plus old.
*** Edit
So after literally download and flashing that kernel, typing just this edit using my phone I'm down 3%. Maybe it takes a bit to optimize I'm not really sure. I will say it does at least last me an entire day! (On the Stock kernel I mean)

You're Pixel 2XL can't be a year plus old. They we're announced October 4th of last year, so they weren't available even a year ago.

Oh well then lol, I guess I'm the idiot!
Just seems weird the battery drain is incredible. Maybe my expectations are simply just high, either way very pleased with the device

You're not an idiot. Well, I don't know I've never met you IRL. You could be, I guess, LOL.
Seriously, though, not doubting your bad battery life. It's likely a rogue app. Or maybe really poor radio signal so your phone is constantly polling for a stronger signal.
You could always try running in safe mode, which disables all 3rd party apps. If battery life improves, then you know it's an app causing the drain.
If that doesn't work, try running in airplane mode. This will always increase battery life, but if it takes care of your abnormal drain, then you know it's related to signal strength.
All else fails, do a factory reset, don't restore anything, and run it for a while with no 3rd party apps.
If that fails to fix it, it could simply be a hardware issue. Its an electronic device. They fail and do funky things sometimes. You could always call Google and see if they will RMA it for a bad battery. Or if you have a UBreakIFix store near you, go talk to them. They are a Google partner and the one here in town is very knowledgeable.

Haha that's awesome. That's actually quite useful information though I really appreciate that! I will try out those, I'm actually not running much aside from stock but I'll see what happens. Thanks again!

The battery life on the Pixel 2 XL should be better than that to be honest. Especially if you have Android Pie. Let me know how it goes? What is your SOT?

On my Pixel 2 XL i get about 2.5 hrs SOT with 70% remaining.

Heres a screenshot I guess that's not awful it's just seems like heavy drain when using it. I think I'm just being picky

I have replaced my 2xl display because it was shattered. I tried to replicate the original waterproofing sealing by using the black liquid adhesive.

That looks just about right. Both "full charge lasts about" and the SOT. At least that's what I get typically with my use.
