Ok, how bad is your battery life?

I know there are a million threads on battery life here and on other forums. But I am curious before I take the dive into the EVO (buying outright without an upgrade).
How bad is the battery life?
and
How wide spread is the screen separation issue?
I intend on buying the EVO and then trading to the EPIC when its released then deciding which to keep for the next year until I do have an upgrade.
Battery life will probably be the key determination for me between the 2, I need every last second of power I can get.
Captivate guys are saying 5% an hour under moderate use 2% under light- I can tolerate that. But its a GSM phone and they typically have better batter life anyway. No one can really tell what the Epic will do until we get one.

If I don't touch my phone and idle it I can get 24+ hours. light/moderate I can get 8+, heavy I pretty much have to keep it plugged in.

I got 2 days on a single charge last weekend, barely used and was basically on a 2 day drinking binge. Probably could have gone a bit longer but I plugged it in first chance I had. I can easily get through a day with medium use. Maybe light in the morning, more medium - heavy use in the afternoon but can still make it home knowing I have some charge. Or if I get sidetracked for a couple hours at the local watering hole I know I'm still safe.
I feel a lot of people want to best their last battery time though, sometimes after a decent day of use I need to juice it for a while before I go out that night. Any decent phone these days, with the things they can do, can be dried out pretty quickly with heavy use. But once you get more into the regular use of the device it is more than suitable, IMO. Not to mention other steps can be taken to make sure you get the best performance out of the phone, battery included.
I've been leaving my GPS on lately, keeping sync constantly on, just to see how big of a hit it will really deal during the day. It's not really noticeable yet. One thing I have noticed though, honestly, is that in the beginning when my phone was off it seemed to really use a lot of battery. But now when not in use it's almost as if the battery takes a very minor hit, if a visible one at all. Went to sleep last night with 70% left and woke up it was reading the same. Responded to emails, sent some texts, checked the weather for no reason, and left it idle for an hour. Still sat at that 70% mark, even though that is a slight estimate in terms of battery charge meter. Might have been nearing more to the 60 but still showed 30% as used.

this is a screen shot from when i had cm6 7.27 build. i'm running the 8/2 build right now and its about the same.

marshmallow will drain the battery?

I have at home 2 g4 to upgrade to Marshmallow. in the 2 battery is spent faster than lollipop. you know why and how to fix it?

Up?
Enviado desde el GamePad de la WiiU

What to fix?
At least post some details so people can start thinking about some resolution.
What's draining your battery? Misbehaving apps? Apps not updated to MM? etc.

Terrible battery life on Lg G4 after marshmallow update! Help!!!
I'm very angry and very unsatisfied with this update. I ruined a perfect phone! From 20 h/ 4 h sot to come 12h/3h sot is a big difference. I was expecting a better battery life but I get the opposite. In the meantime I make some research and I noticed that the biggest drain is on mobile data ,especially background. Gsam battery monitor chart show me a thing called " system logd" on top. This thing is on 35% and android system or play services only 7%. Wow!!! On WiFi is there too but something like 8-10%. OK...I said I can rid of this... After 3 days no way! I clean the cache, factory reset ... Nothing changed. I think is a misbehaving app, I go in safe mode...the battery still the same ,location off...the same thing. I don't know what to do...root my phone? I hate marshmallow
Off topic: is the last time I make updates. Is the second time I break a perfect device with this, first a flawless HTC m8 running KitKat with lollipop, now my lg with marshmallow.

/me too.
Same apps as before updating to M. No changes except battery draining fast. Before update at this time (12pm Spain) usually 80-85% after full charge during night, now 65% with same use, same settings...

you guys are doing something very wrong, my H815 battery life is insane, with heavy use, I cannot run down the battery in a 16 hour day! - I go to bed and the phone is still on over 40% - running stock newest marshmallow 20B with a few tweaks

what tweaks you use WTF? are you rooted? i plan on staying stock

If you kill most of not needed Google apps, you're pretty fine with overall lifetime. See screenshot - it's awesome & I am using 20B.

As I said earlier. 2 G4's in house consumption has increased. 1 became normal update, on the other with full wipes before and after installing marshmallow and reinstalling all applications and games.
In the 2 I had to re-lollipop for battery after several cycles, if it is true that improvement but fails even to match the performance they had in lollipop.
In Marshmallo barely exceeded 2 G4 screen 3 hours, with very little lollipop exceeds 5 hours of screen

HUGE battery drain on my OP3

Hi everyone,
Since a few days, the battery life of my OP3 has been divided by at least 3, with a normal use, it lasts no longer than 5 hours, I now usually charge it twice a day, and during the night, it lose about 60% battery, here's a screenshot.

Recently I've been playing Pokemon GO a lot so I understand it can damage the battery, but none of my friend have experienced the same issue, yet they have cheaper phone than the OP3.
I did a few research and didn't notice anyone with the same problem.
Also I contact OnePlus support but they are unqualified so I don't want to lose more time with them.
Yesterday I wiped everything on my phone and reinstalled Oxygen OS, during the night I lost about 10% battery, that's a big progress but it's still abnormal, and I have lost about 10% again by using my phone a bit after awaking.
So I tried everything that is in my knowledge but there still a big problem with the battery of my phone, anyone has a solution for me ?

I note from your screen shot you are running both Facebook and messenger, and from your post pokemon go, notorious battery hogs I suspect they aren't helping. But if this drain is a new phenomenon what have you installed on recently?

Yes I know Facebook, Messenger and Pokemon GO drain a lot of battery, but I charged my phone at 100% before going to sleep and closed all the apps, so these apps wasn't running in background during the night, I just received some notifications and messages during the night, that can't be what drained so much battery... Also I've been using Facebook and Messenger on Android for 3 years now, and I'm playing Pokemon GO since July 6, but the huge battery drain started only a few days ago, and I started to notice battery problem maybe 2 weeks ago.
I didn't installed anything special recently, I'm just using my phone like I've always did...

What sensors have you activated? GPS? NFC? Bluetooth?
Did you try and install Better Battery Stats? Or Wake Lock Detector?
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk

I only activated GPS.
I installed BetterBatteryStats about 1 month ago but I don't really understand the stats in it. I installed it because someone on another forum told me to install it and post screenshots after a day of use, that was a few time after I received my OP3 because since the beginning I noticed the battery life was anomaly short. I've recently uninstalled it.
You can see the screenshots here
A technician from OnePlus called me and advised me to install Snapdragon Guru so I did it, I will see if it changes anything.

Well 3% per hour is not so bad, I have it, too. GPS is most time in energy saving mode and Bluetooth is on as I wear a smart watch.
Perhaps you should reinstall BBS again and we will have a look at the newer stats.
GPS can be a real drainer.
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk

Now it is more like 10-15% per hour...
I'm downloading OOS 3.2.4 but the mirror is very slow so I'll have it this night I thing. I will wipe everything again, install latest OOS and install BBS again, we'll see then...

So yesterday I wiped everything again and reinstalled OOS 3.2.4 this time, then I went out to play Pokemon GO so the battery emptied in about 4 hours which was normal while playing this game, anyway, I charged it at 100% before going to sleep and put it in airplane mode and look at the result :
So now I'm sure of one thing, the battery doesn't drain itself for no reason. Yesterday a technician from OnePlus called me and told me about turning data off during the night (that why I put my phone in airplane mode). If that is really the problem, I don't understand why... Why after 3 years using Android, data suddenly drains battery like never before (without changing my way of using my phone) and why it does that to only a few people...
Today I used my phone normally, it lasted almost all the day, that is a big progress, but it is still ridiculous compared to my old phones that lasted 2 days at the beginning. I took a lot of screenshots when the battery was almost empty so maybe someone can help me to analyze what is the problem with the battery consumption.

Did you ever find a solution to your battery drain? If so, would you like to share this solution?

Too fast battery drain

Hello,
I have my Nexus 5x since 2016 and I change the battery 3 months ago. Despite this, all days I have to charge the phone before the end of the day. In settings, I see that the screen is use approximatively 2 hours before shutting down. So that's not enough ! Do you have an idea about this issue ? I repeat that my battery is a new one...

It does not have to be battery related, it could be a software or hardware issue as well.
It is possible that some app keeps the phone awake.
One possible solution to that is to use an app ( I use GSam Battery Monitor Pro) to find out what is draining the battery.
If that does not give a clear answer then you could factory reset the phone and see if that improves the situation.
If that also doesn't help then you could have a hardware issue. It happens on some phones, I have a (spare) Nexus 5X here that also drains the battery while sitting idle.
I just use it for experiments and keep it on the charger all day

what SoT were u getting when u first changed the battery?
considering normal SoT time for n5x is around 3-4 hours, plus (im guessing) cheaper 3rd party battery, these numbers wouldnt surprise me.
also, we know nothing about what apps you have installed or what android you're using.

Hello,
I installed a new 2700 mAh battery like the original. I don't us many apps just have social medias, web browsing and youtube... I confirm : today shutting down at 5 PM, less than 2 hours of SoT

I'm not sure if it's specific to lineage os, but if you scroll down on the battery settings page, it may show the battery use % for each app at the bottom. If that's there, try using your device as normal for a day, then check that when it gets down to 5% or so and see what's eating all your battery.

Normal SOT?

Good day, just got a refurbished from Amazon and getting lousy 2 hr of SOT, I decided to replace it myself a week ago. Now my SOT is around 4 hr.
Now for my question, is this the normal SOT for Pixel XL OG? What are you guys getting with new battery?

I can go beyond 4 hours SOT on a full charge over a full day of 17 hours on a freshly replaced battery with my OG 5", the XL could reach 6 IMHO.

It all depends on your usage and those silent internal updates being pushed to your device which keeps changing a device's output oftentimes. Just few weeks ago I was getting 5-6 hours of SoT normally on my marlin (3 month old phone), hit 7 hours few times, but last few days barely reaching 5 hours! Usage obviously has not changed for me. 4.5-5 hours SoT now. From 90-10%.

i get 3 hours, android 9 august patch

Thank you everyone this is Interesting. I can't seems to get pass 4 hours no matter how hard I try. Stuff I've tried: Factory reset, battery saver, no FB, no games. Guess my new battery is busted.

Does this mean my battery is dying already? Stats don't look good at all

I bought my Pixel XL used about 18 months I'm so I have no idea how it was used by the first owner. I'm not a heavy user, mostly texts, calls, and web surfing. No games and only occasional YouTube videos. I can usually go 2-2 1/2 days between charges and rarely let it get below 40%. My battery health shows 93% and Accubattery says 3:41 for estimated SOT.

I was getting around 4h sot with my pixel XL. Accubattery shows 96% health on it. My OnePlus 5 I'm using now gets closer to 5-6 hours with health showing 90%.
Both phones can go several hours longer if used for reading a book on a black background, or just heavy browsing or YouTube videos indoors where screen brightness is low.

79% isn't that good for a newly bought phone. That's what users expect after using the device for like 18-24 months or something.

My first one was down to 83% after almost 2 years of use. I hadn't really noticed a decrease in battery life so I assumed software updates had actually improved it offsetting the battery wear.
