What is your preferred heart rate monitor app? I'm looking for an app that is continuous rather than having to always manually do it.

I haven't tried it, but this sounds like what you're looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...pp-heart-rate-os-android-wear-google-t3031964
Thanks for the link Jim, was looking for something like that and its working great

I just tried that as well over the last day. My problem is that it very often reads rates > 120bpm when in fact it is more like 65bpm (checked with on-watch heart rate monitor). Very inconsistent so far.
What is your experience?
thanks
I use "heart trace" - it has better options to adjust sensitivity and accuracy so you will not get so much false readings. Can be set to have regular measurements over the day too.
Is there a way to completely disable standby?
30 sec is the shortest there is, in both of my units MTCB and MTCD..
You can increase up to two hours. I do not know if it can be disabled...

No I want it to completely disable it. When accessory goes low I want it to shut down completely.
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 Moto Z2 Play before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Battery life has been quite good.
Yeah the battery is great
Z play, not Z2 play is a beast in terms of battery life Just got over 9 hours of screen on time over 2 days
Battery life is really good, In wifi in a get 7-8 hours of sot, 1 day and 7 hours total, using only 4g I get 5-6 h.
La batería ha durado bastante, me ha dado 12 horas, es muy buena no pensé que me fuera a dar tantas horas de pantalla
I'm coming from a Moto X Pure/Style which has a poor battery. So I'm pretty pleased with this phone and battery life. 12 to 14 hours of battery life and around 8 hours of SoT with heavy use of the phone. Music, some high demanding games, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, WhatsApp, Instagram and a lot of browsing using Chrome. The brightness always at 25%-50% (Depends) and even with the annoying haptic feedback of the fingerprint sensor for gestures turned on.

Don't you have CELL STANDBY drain??
In my case consumes more than screen!!

Yeah.
My cell standby is a bit lower than screen.
I have the Verizon version, it seems pretty good to me., 1 hr & 54 minutes so far on this charge

all wifi? how much only 4g?
New

30% left, 9h sot. If I would have waited till 5% it could very well be 10 to 11h max sot. This all with usage of WiFi and LTE throughout the day, some gaming (Lara Croft Go, Horizon Chase) and streaming. All things done equally. If I would deactivate Tasker another 30 minutes could have been saved. Never had such awesome battery life. Although I've cheated for a little bit - my whole device theme and websites viewed are dark...
You can easily use this phone for 6 hours a day without worrying about it the battery. For example I used it 3 hours today on medium load and it still did not hit the 50% mark. My Moto Z was about 3x worse and even the Axon 7 did not manage more than 4h screen on time.
Honor 8 Pro is an incredible device, which ticks all the boxes. But since it has a 2k display and a v8 engine in it, it chunks on the 4k battery pretty quickly.
If there is some way, we could lower the resolution to 1080 similar to that on S8 and S8+, I think the battery life will almost double!
Inputs?!

You can there is option in battery section when needed it automatically lower the resolution !!!
We actually don't know when it gets activated. It would be better if the user is given better control of the resolution! Like to lock the display on 1080 to preserve battery and then to switch the display to 2k while playing HD games or watching VR
Charging time more

like others have mentioned, ideally, we want something we can manually control. like what is found on many other phones with 2K screen... users can manually select between 2k, 1080p and even 720p.
right now, the one under the battery/ power savings... we don't even know when it gets activated... or if it works (coz honestly, i can't tell any diff between 1080p and 2K on such small screen).
Hi,
Although there is a option to lower screen resolution to reduce battery consumption, we don't know when it exactly kicks into play or if it does at all. I suspect it only reduces the strength of the pixels.
We have raised this query in the recent meeting which was held in Chennai. They took it with a nod, not sure if it will be implemented. We did point out as to how S8 and S8+ does it.

Take a screenshot before and after enabling the option to lower screen res, you'll ses the difference between the resolution of both screenshots

You will see when an app which sucks too much battery , during that the pixel will be decreased.
PPSSPP needs this...
Current emui 5.1 low res option are not decrease resolution to 1080p I think. Its just reduce the pixels a bit and automatically activated only on power hungry apps. Logically if change resolution at least your screen will flicker a bit. Dont worry upcoming emui 8 will have option to truly change your resolution either 2k, 1080p and even 720p. I think its coming to our phone in January.

Does lowering screen resolution from 2k to 1080p even save that much battery power?

Battery not very much affected, but gaming got better performance if in 1080p.

This may seem too obvious but think about it. Turning on show refresh rate option shows you a continuously changing refresh rate 10-24-30-60-120 Hz . LTPO can bring down the refresh rate to 10Hz but that constant switching between refresh rates may be adding flickers not consciously noticeable but may have an effect on the eyes in long term ?
This is to save the battery but can eyes adapt to a such a high degree of variable refresh rate ? Does anyone know the PWM frequency of Vivo X80 Pro LTPO 3.0 ? I did check with a slo-mo camera and it does show flicker (black lines moving across the screen). Honor 4 Pro is claiming a LTPO screen with highest ever PWM frequency for eliminating flicker. Any insight into this will be much appreciated.

Honor has 1920PWM if i remember correctly, idk how much the vivo has.
But i'll break you a myth, the LTPO does NOT improve performance unless you maybe watching YouTube all day and even so.
So far all the smartphones that has poor battery life, including the x80 Pro, has LTPO.
Based on my use, i just use the 120hz and it goes down to 10hz when possible, coming from the Mate 40 Pro which has 60 or 90 only with no LTPO, the Mate 40 Pro had better battery life.
They is no eye strain with either of them if you sit in the proper angle, i haven't noticed anything anyway.

Thanks for replying. Firstly Congratulations for your ROG6 phone . LTPO may be saving a little bit of battery but there are many other factors especially SD Gen 1.
But I am worried about LTPO's constantly varying refresh rate. In my 2 months of usage of X80 Pro I had two or three episodes of headache which may be very well be coincidental due to other factors. It did prompt me to research more on PWM frequency of X80 pro and what effect does LTPO have on eyes.

That's a good point that no reviewer actually checked or researched.
I had the X80 pro for a month and never had any headache, you might be sensitive to certain PWM frequency.
If you can check the Honor Magic 4 Pro you might deny or confirm that.

I have no way to check magic 4. Also , I did not find a way to force 60 or 120 Hz on X80 pro. Tried adb command and SetEdit. At least locking it to 60Hz minimum will be good enough even though it defeats the purpose of LTPO.
Does anyone know how to do that ?

It should be under the display settings>refresh rate.
Don't choose Auto, choose 120hz, and it will be 120hz all the time unless there is no motion on the screen.

Choosing a refresh rate in settings just sets the maximum refresh rate. I would like it to be at least 60Hz at all times which happens in all non-LTPO phones .

If you trigger the "show refresh rate" at the developer menu, you'll see it drops from 120hz to 10hz quite often.
Even if you'll force 60hz it will drop to 10hz, that's just how it works.
I don't think you can put a threshold of 60hz as minimum as opposed to 10hz.

Right. That's how LTPO works but in other phones , it will stay at 60Hz even if it is static picture. The flicker at 10Hz could be more than 60Hz unless the PWM frequency is high enough. Am I getting it right ?

Indeed.
But Vivo hasn't published information about the PWM frequency, so we're in the dark for now.
There is a new Notebookcheck analysis of X80 pro, but the frequency is pretty low

In our review, the Vivo X80 attempts to impress with a quad camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, ample storage, fast charging and probably the largest, fastest and most versatile fingerprint sensor.

I am on W30 funtouch OS 12.0.12.12 and I noticed that Show Refresh Rate is now showing 120 Hz all the time if 120 Hz is selected in settings. Even Youtube is at 120 Hz which is great. Even in Smart switch mode the refresh rate only toggles between 60 Hz and 120 Hz . In essence LTPO has stopped working and I did not notice battery drainage as such so I am happy also due to concerns on LTPO safety on eyes and the phone feels fast irrespective of whether an app supports 120 Hz or not
