Qualcomm made an official app for saving battery called the Qualcomm BatteryGuru which works pretty well. It basically monitors your phone usage for a week and then makes changes accordingly to help you save battery life.
Worth checking out. I got good results on a Nexus 4.

nexus 4 uses a snapdragon something pro. its a quad core proc. the HTC one uses the snapdragon 600 which is basically newest updated quad core version of the pro.
I'm not sure the One needs it. I'm usually at 50-60% after a moderate to heavy day....

The SoC in the N4 is colloquially referred to as Snapdragon S4 Pro, specifically APQ8064. It has four first-gen Krait cores, now referred to as Krait 200. The One has a Snapdragon 600 SoC, specifically APQ8064T, with four second-gen Krait cores (Krait 300). Krait 300 cores are roughly 10-15% faster than Krait 200, though obviously it varies a lot depending on workload. Both SoCs use the same GPU (Adreno 320), though supposedly there are some tweaks in the APQ8064T version.
Qualcomm is in a pretty ridiculous position right now; there aren't really any phone SoCs that are competitive with their latest, except maybe Exynos 5410 in the Galaxy S4 I9500 and SHV-E300S--though those are hard to come by so not a lot of battery/performance info is out about them.
Anyway, the battery guru thing is pretty worthless if you spend any time optimizing your phone for yourself, especially if you are used to using apps like BetterBatteryStats and Greenify or something similar. It just automates the process of looking at the sort of data BBS would generate and offer to make changes based on your usage.

I always wonder what people consider a "Heavy Day," I ran my HTC One to shutdown by 4pm the other day. It's al about how you use it. I am a huge streamer, netflix, turntable, play music, you name it, pictures with flash, constant gmail.
Although I have had really good days too, but mostly 50-60% on really light days, where my phone is sitting untouched for 5+ hours.
Just my 2 cents...

About 200-300 texts (most are work related or fiance), 2 hours of FM radio during commute on the bike, 30-45 minutes of music streaming from my home media server (working out). 10-15 calls. 25 minutes of article reading/forum browsing. Weather checking. Sports checking. BT, GPS, Wifi on 24/7.
I burn about 1.5-2% an hour with this stuff and powersave enabled.
on the very very rare "light" day, i've seen 65-75% at bed time.

Cool! I would consider that pretty heavy usage! I guess I don't ever use the power save functionality, and have a bunch of linked accounts which doesn't help. Auto screen brightness? I also use a lot of WiFi/BT, my day starts at 6am too, so I guess that could be making my difference!

Try the powersave. I'm trying it today with the powersave off. I don't notice any difference in performance, but the battery does seem to be draining faster than usual. My days usually start at 545-6 am, as well. And yes auto brightness and auto screen timeout are enabled, though I usually shut the screen off myself.

Wow that is extremely, extremely good and unheard of. Do you think you can post a list of your current apps (AppList works just fine)? I just want to compare because I'm almost certain some of my daily apps are draining battery. First day I got to use the phone I had the screen on for 20 mins while I was playing with it and burned through only 2% battery life in half an hour off the charger. Seriously, what gives with these rogue apps? They piss me off!

That's an ungodly amount of use, I can stream music, cloud based and on device for about 2 hours give or take. I don't txt that much maybe 5 to 10 a day and maybe 20 minutes worth of voice calls, bt off , GPS off and Wi-Fi off unless I'm home. Moderate facebook, random news articles throughout the day and some web browsing. I take my phone off the charger around 8am, by10pm or so if phone isn't already dead it's just about dead, and that's with power saver on.

Here is a typical day. Doesn't look like much, but it's over a span of 15 hours.
I think the Power Saver feature on the One serves the same purpose as the battery saver app. I had used the Qualcomm app on my One S and really noticed no change at all in battery life, plus it had a few annoyances (such as trying to connect to secure wi-fi thus killing my data connection). I am using the native Power Saver on my One and it works fine.

I think the key here is the screen on time and the fact that none of these really invoke heavy CPU usage.
Yeah my battery is dead by 6pm unless I charge at work and in the car. The only issue I have with this phone.

I go to about 10% on a moderate day (subjective) with my rooted cm mod.
The power saver function in the stock rom is pretty good at conserving batter. Does this app do a better job?

I've tried a bunch of different combinations but I have gone back to GB every time. I don't even care about features anymore I just want to get the most out of my battery life. If you are getting great battery life will you post your kernel, firmware, and ROM please? Please post if you are on Ext Batt or not.
Thanks
I have an extended battery and I think my battery life is really good. Primarily, I turn off most automatic syncing and keep my screen turned down as low as possible at all times. I use a widget called Brightness Level and I keep it at 13% most of the time. I also keep GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi off unless I specifically need them. Other than that, I'm not doing anything special. I'm on Clean ROM 4.5 Standard.

I think the biggest culprit is the screen. I'll get varying battery life every day, anywhere from 2 to 12 hours on a standard battery, or 4 to 30 hours on extended.
The only common factor in each of these for me is screen-on time. I'll get 1.5-2 hours on standard or 3.5-4.5 on the extended battery before it dies.
However, as previously mentioned, turning off Bluetooth, wifi, GPS, mobile data, and sync will always help battery life. Too bad I rely heavily on some form of data, email, and Bluetooth headsets for my work.

All in my sig.
I've got a system...
I usually can get through the day with a regular battery; a few things to remember:
1) Mail/messaging/anything push
if you can deal with it, set peak hours from like 7am to 7pm and get stuff every two hours during peak and every four hours during off-peak. Push means your phone is actively waiting or doing something almost all the time. This one single thing will make the biggest difference, except for...
2) The Display
The biggest energy hog of all. Actually not much you can do here but set it to time out quickly (a minute or less) and set to either auto brightness or remember to turn it down indoors.
3) Audio
Running audio through the speakers also uses more battery. Try headphones.
Bluetooth audio is great but again bluetooth also uses more energy than headphones.
4) Networking startup services
Lots of games install startup services that run constantly in the background checking for data from the mothership and/or other players. Get rid of them or turn them off if you can. Some apps also do this, I dont have a list but a little Googling will enlighten you.
Any other tips? I'm always looking for other (reasonable) ways to save battery.
PS: as you probably know, the phone (and any smartphone) will charge about %500 faster if its completely turned off. Common sense, I know, but you'd be surprised...
this will keep you going all day:

Seriously though, if you actually use your phone throughout the day, its probably better to just get the extended battery. Anytime you turn the screen on, it sucks battery.
You can try juice defender. I have it set to extreme and tell it which apps can turn on data with and without screen on, so 4g is only on when it needs to be.
I've heard ROM toolbox can keep apps from opening in the background but haven't paid for it yet. This would be good for games like draw something and WWF that seem to suck power constantly.
Thanks for the replies. I changed my power from performance to normal and that made a big difference because the phone won't sleep in performance mode. Just a note it will still sleep data even though my hotmail is on push. I am using the hotmail app not the htc mail app. I see people with 3+ hours of battery life in the battery thread and I don't see how they do it. I have the extended and I can make it through a day but I only use the screen for under an hour it seems. I'm not really seeing anything new in here I'm not doing but I do keep my screen auto a lot so I might jack that down. I keep every feature off when not in use.
I'm using stock rooted 3.14.605.5 with same firmware and over been getting better battery life since flashing.
I'm mad as hell about losing unlimited data!

Man, That's some serious ****
I generally get great battery life-around 4 hours screen on, 4g, gps. However, a few days ago I noticed higher than normal temps, and poor battery life.
So what changed?
I traced it to the installation of one free app. Picsart-uninstalled and everything is peachy again.
This is my second rezound, the first one always ran hot and drained the battery.
If you're having problems with heat and drain, run a full ruu and see if it helps, if not you may have a bad device or possibly a bad sim. I don't think that the device is the problem in most situations. More likely a runaway app, bad radio/firmware/build combo, user error, or expectations too high.
My setup:
Latest ruu-cleanrom de 1.4-take it easy on the apps and widgets!

Your issue may lay mostly in poor reception. I notice your signal strength thing is in yellow most of the time. Use WiFi if you can. I get pretty good battery life on
Ineffibilis GB
Feb OTA firmware. Don't remember the numbers.
Dsb 1.1.3 undervolted by about 100mv via incredicontrol (UV depends on the device, each is diff) and under clocked to 1188mhz and with interactive governor.
I think my power setting is on Normal.
Also I have weather sync every 3 hrs. Facebook every 4 and leave my Gmail accounts on sync.
I get between 3.5 and 5 hours every day of screen on time through out the day if I'm using my phone a lot. This would also be coupled with usually around 30 minutes of phone calls too. But usually I only charge it every other day (when it gets to around 30%). I get more time out of it on WiFi (5+ hrs and less on 4G (3.5 to 4 hrs at most throughout the day). I also never run my phone down to less than 20% if I can help it. I'm on stock battery too

That battery life isn't great if you're only using 9m of screen on time. 60% after 5 hours isn't unusual for me if I have medium usage of my phone. Like platinum mentioned, your signal is terrible. The Rezound (and most phones) tend to use a lot of battery if they're trying to constantly find a signal.
Right. Battery should only drop 1 to 2 percent per hour on good signal. Bad signal can kill it... If I was on 3G my phone would be around the mid 90s with the same usage.

Does it matter if I turn off data or it will still drain looking for cell signal?
As long as you don't have partial wake issues, there are only two real concerns for battery.
It's not processor. Again, if the phone's not 'awake' while the screen is off, your phone's processor is not ramping up to full speed at all. While it's on and in your hand, 1.5ghz is a great speed for it to operate. Slower speeds than that significantly slow down how your phone operates, and you will have your screen on for seconds longer (Which uses WAY more battery than the higher clock speed).
In Facebook app, go to menu > settings > and change the refresh interval to NEVER!!!
As of Android 2.2, Facebook does push notifications. You don't need Facebook refreshing very 4 hours (OR EVER!). This wakes up your phone (ramps up processor speed, and so on), uses data (battery), and is unnecessary (since you get push notifications anyway). Turn that crap off. Same with Twitter. Turn it down to manual refreshing only (look in settings > accounts and sync as well as in the app). Same with Friendstream (which will automatically have its own refresh settings - fix them).
There are two things that use your battery.
1 - Screen. Turn your screen off when you're not using it. Stop turning your screen on every 12 minutes to 'see if you have any notifications'. Trust the green LED blinking light, or listen for your phone. You can stop checking it. You're using a TON of battery lighting up that 4.3" screen AND waking the phone back up (ramping up the processor, among other things, and it will stay awake for at least minutes, even after the screen goes back off).
2 - Data. Turn wifi off if you're not using it. Turn Mobile Network (GASP!) off when you're not using it. Pull down your notifications and hit Quick Settings, and turn Mobile Network off. Don't have that? Make the HTC Widget > settings > Mobile network. Turn it off when you're out with your friends after midnight. a) you're not going to post anything reasonable or coherent when you're out drinking anyway to Facebook, and b) call and text still works, so you can still mack on honeys all night (and text them drunkenly). You don't need your damn Gmail at 1am. I know you don't. Don't try to convince me otherwise.
If you keep your screen time to a minimum (and brightness down if you're not using auto brightness), and TURN OFF mobile network (internet) when not using it, your battery will last DAYS. Yes, the stock battery. Now, do you do 100+ texts per day? Sorry, your battery is going to die today. And tomorrow. Every day. The screen time murders the battery, and the Wake time that your phone will have as a result (like every time the phone lights up - for minutes at a time, it'll stay 'awake').
That's how you keep your battery going. On any android phone. Yes, an extended battery works great. I bought one (half price in a verizon store) AND got an EXTRA one for $4 (on amazon.com). Yes, it's for thunderbolt, but YES it's the same part number. It's running my phone right now. Keep it charged, and in your glove compartment. Your life will be better.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055OTNK4/ref=pe_175190_21431760_C1_cs_sce_3p_dp_1
Go get it. Turn off your internet, and your screen. Trust your LED notification light. Stop using MMS Screen On. Your battery will last all day, every day. Unless you text a lot. Then, good luck.

In short, yes.
If u turn off data it will help. But you will still have poor signal, so Idk how much it will help. apps and processes that use background data won't be using it, that alone will keep your phone from reconnecting so much, so it will help.
It takes your phone longer to connect on poor signals and your speeds are slower so it takes longer to do the same things. This also keeps your processor running faster for longer times.
Does anyone else find it pretty poor? I think the max I can get is 18 hours, and that's without equalisers, I'm also using 128kbp tracks!

If you just want to listen music you can set the airplane mode on, that will add many, many hours.
Last year on holiday i turned on the airplane mode. I was able to get about 25 hours of music on half the battery.
I'am not sure but i think i had at that time the stock rom installed.
I lose 2-3% per hr listening to music & with minimal other usage/screen on time. Someone who works in audio commented in the Siyah discussion thread the other day that the lower the bitrate, the more juice it will use. Obviously the longer you listen to music the more pronounced this increased drain will be.
If you're doing other things with the phone (particularly with screen on/CPU intensive stuff) while you're listening to music, then obviously your drain is going to be a lot higher than listening with screen off mostly.
If you're serious about wanting to squeeze more zzzzs out while listening to music, there are hundreds of threads (thousands ?) about maximising battery life, obviously everyone's phone is setup/used differently, but if you really want to do something about it the info is here for you to do that. You just have to take the time to search/read/learn/experiment with settings.

Well, SGS2 has a 1.2 GHz dual core cpu and 4s has A5 dual core 800 Mhz CPU. By default of course. Then maybe (again : maybe) you need to adjust the governor, and definitely adjust display. AMOLED drying battery very well. And perhaps worth to check other players
Hi all
This is my first post, so let's hope I've gotten it right and am abiding by all the rules and the n00b video. And yes I did search for a good 10 minutes about batterylife and battery before posting and didn't find anything relevant.
I've recently swapped over from Apple iPhone and I'm now very much enjoying being on Android. However batterylife is a big concern for me, as on iPhone I could go 2-3 days without charging and now I can barely make it home from work and I definately have to plug it in before dinner. And yes this is with me closing down applications, wifi when not used, bluetooth when not used, running latest kies released PHONE:LFB firmware and so on.
So my question is... how is your batterylife after having rooted and installed a custom rom? The one I'm thinking mostly about using is definately the new Preview 3 (or perhaps wait for 4 or 5) of CM10, that XpLoDWilD is working on. Does anyone have any experience with the batterylife before and after?
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide! :highfive:

That's very weird. Are you international or a US S3? I easily get 3 days battery, very easily. Perhaps try turning off useless stuff like bluetooth, gps, wifi, etc when you're not using them. Turn off push email and other useless crap. See how it goes then?
I still have the stock ROM, usually 3.5 days battery before it gets to 10% and i charge. I'm going to go to OMEGA rom soon though.
I have tried almost all custom roms out there. And I can easily say the battery life is not any better if not worse on custom roms.
Stick with the stock rom. I would however recommend flashing a custom kernel like speedmod or phenomenal. They definitely give you that extra juice you need at the end of the day. The idle time and screen time has increased for me 10 to 20 % compared to stock.

I'm using the international version. I did turn off bluetooth and wifi, but not gps. Will try that aswell. I have manuel mail check every 1 hour, but will try to set it to 4 hours.
However from what I read in the reviews on GSMarena and other sites, it's quite normal to only get 1 day worth of battery.
Description of a pretty basic day with the Galaxy S3:
I usually unplug mine at 6 am, with wifi and bluetooth off and screen always on auto brigthness. Then at 7 am i turn on bluetooth for my earphones and bike to the train station and browse the web and such for about 45 minutes in the train. When I arrive at work it's usually around 80% battery and I turn off bluetooth. Then I'm at work from 8 am to 4 pm and check mails, texts, calendar and possibly make 1 or 2 short phone calls. At 4 pm I think the battery is often around 40-50%. Then again on the ride home I use the same, so it's usually around 20-30% when I come home. I then usually turn on wifi and play a couple of games, or watch some Netflix on it while I'm doing some other stuff or attach it to my stereo and play so music from Spotify on it. At 6-7 pm it's usually beeping at the 5, 10 or 15% marker for more power and wants me to plug it in to a power source. If I try to wait till I go to bed, I usually end up having it automatically shut down from lack of power.
I'm wondering if this seems normal or if perhaps my battery is faulty. From the review at GSMarena it seems quite normal and that's just the way Android is. They even gave it a good battery rating inspite of saying that it would only last them a day.

Okay, thank you for your reply
it all depends on the usage i have an iphone 4 as well and i have to charge it by the end of the day (at 10pm). So it dpends on what you do with your phone if you use 3g all the time thats not gonna last long if you have syncing on all the time and gps that wont help...if you just let it idle then you can get 3 days uptime with maybe 1 hour screen time.

I'm using the international version. I did turn off bluetooth and wifi, but not gps. Will try that aswell. I have manuel mail check every 1 hour, but will try to set it to 4 hours.
However from what I read in the reviews on GSMarena and other sites, it's quite normal to only get 1 day worth of battery.
Description of a pretty basic day with the Galaxy S3:
I usually unplug mine at 6 am, with wifi and bluetooth off and screen always on auto brigthness. Then at 7 am i turn on bluetooth for my earphones and bike to the train station and browse the web and such for about 45 minutes in the train. When I arrive at work it's usually around 80% battery and I turn off bluetooth. Then I'm at work from 8 am to 4 pm and check mails, texts, calendar and possibly make 1 or 2 short phone calls. At 4 pm I think the battery is often around 40-50%. Then again on the ride home I use the same, so it's usually around 20-30% when I come home. I then usually turn on wifi and play a couple of games, or watch some Netflix on it while I'm doing some other stuff or attach it to my stereo and play so music from Spotify on it. At 6-7 pm it's usually beeping at the 5, 10 or 15% marker for more power and wants me to plug it in to a power source. If I try to wait till I go to bed, I usually end up having it automatically shut down from lack of power.
I'm wondering if this seems normal or if perhaps my battery is faulty. From the review at GSMarena it seems quite normal and that's just the way Android is. They even gave it a good battery rating inspite of saying that it would only last them a day.

My basic day is charge the phone at around 8pm, unplug at 10pm. I never charge overnight it's pointless (not that i think it'll hurt it). Wake up battery is usually around 95% after my alarm goes off. Brightness is about 60%. I don't browse the web very much, and I don't play many games, let's say 1 hour of web and 1 hour of games/videos/music per day. Maybe 1 hour of maps too. Mostly though, I text message and phone call.
I don't think yours is faulty, i think it's quite normal, it seems like you're a heavy user, I'm a light user. If I used my phone as heavily as you did i'd be happy with 1 day of battery.
One day of charge (the battery being at 20-40% at the end of the day depending on the usage) is quite normal.
I've found CM9 with Siyah to give the best standby battery (1-2% drain per hour with 3G and Sync enabled) since it's very lightweight and has no battery-draining bloatware other than what you install.
CM10 is still too new and unfinished to be battery-friendly, it's not that bad though.
However sometimes it will chew the battery for no freaking reason (at least I cannot found any) and the CM9/CM10 stock kernel is not that battery-friendly on active usage. No Siyah yet =(

No way is that good man, that means that if you leave it on standby alone you lose 25% per day. 0.5% per hour would be good/normal IMO.

I chose its "on wake" option, to avoid frequent sensor reading - didn't know that awakes cpu.
One auto adjustment per screen on sounds fine for most daily use scenarios.
Also removed it from notification to save some space there, instead added a udn nav bar long press shortcut to it, plus another shortcut on home screen, so to easily call it up for additional adjustments as nessesary.

Sure, I have the following system apps uninstalled after making a Titanium backup (always good to have a backup, just in case):
[ Edit: Added a few more frozen or uninstalled back to the previous list. Doing a nandroid or user data+settings backup is necessary if you agree human is not always error-free, and wanted to expect the best and be prepared for the worst. I just took a fresh lesson on this G2 - for the first time forgot to correct "build.prop" permission after updating it to system folder; no matter how many times we did it right, once missed and then you'll immediately see it's so easy to brick an dear android lol ]

There are certainly a few more removable but not as big or bad for memory as the above so I just left them aside.
Also tried some apps to manage what apps are allowed to auto start per boot up.
And I only use three home screens; use folders to organize apps icons.
Emails: Gmail uses server push so no polling to set; I couldn't get server push mode working in k-9 mail app, so had to set its sync to every 1 hour.
That's all, nothing special. I think G2 just got a big battery, very energy-efficient sleep mode, plus the GRAM static frame buffer as LG claimed to save up to 20% battery.
Some folks also got over 6 hours screen on out of their Nexus 5:

I'm honestly having a bit of trouble believing that you got 6 hours screen on time AND 58 hours off the charger. Seems like an either/or from what I've read. Did you really get these at the same time, or these are your max on both ends of the spectrum (idle usage vs active usage) ?

I find it believable. It really depends on what that on screen time is used for. Playing intense games like asphalt 8. No.. but simple stuff like browsing the web, tapatalk etc..sure. I personally loss about 1% every 4 hours or so on standby so if I could ever manage not to use my phone all the time lol I could put this to the test. But I'm on this thing all day so it's hard. I'm normally over 2 hours on screen time with 3 hours off the charger. Its hard to put down

Dude that was both. G2 had 6+ hours long screen-on PLUS great sleeping idling hours out of one single charge. Rock solid facts. :angel:
It used to impress me with that; now I got used to its long battery life and have to wish new phones catch up with that otherwise it'd be hard to move on to the next without the same or better battery juice.
More than happy to help you evaluate that nice performance with two more screenshots attached in below:
These pictures show G2 idled a few hours in my bedroom where 4g LTE signal strength stays 4 or 5 out of totally 6 bars. The first 5-hour drainage curve went almost horizontal! before it was carried to another place and used a little bit with 3-bar CDMA 3G connection and reached 96%. With that 5-hour slope how long do you think the big battery on G2's back will last in standby?
The phone stayed mostly at home in the long weekend so it enjoyed its good sleep, and as I said most screen-on time was for news browsing/emails/mms etc. (while tasks like streaming video or playing game will not benefit much from G2 GRAM static buffer.)
I don't play video games with phone so for moderate daily uses my G2 usually logs 4-6 hours screen on time before a recharge.
I like the idle on the g2, I can leave my phone over night or at work and still have full battery just about, I'm using the OC/UV kernel and Greenify, disabled alot of things, check the ss. I'm on Cleanrom 2.0 AT&T, would like to make the change to rayglobe but I don't know if I'll get the same battery performance.

Okay, okay Sorry, just seemed nuts to me. My G2 was about 60 hours on battery, but only 70 minutes screen on time. And I've heard that people are getting max about 7-8 hours screen on time, so didn't sound possible to get that long on both at the same time.

Your g2 can make it too... come on g2 is g2 lol. Have you debloated the stock rom? Some social networking apps/services or fancy UI features like eye tracking might keep phone awake, busy or burn battery quicker, or try some auto start management tools? Someone here mentioned using Greenify - that even prevents apps from switching on by themselves (sounds great yet I didn't go that far, for it needs xpose framework, a new thing I'm not familiar with). If just doing news browsing and emails/msg then 5 or 6 hours screen on should leave enough power for long sleep time.
I think the difference could be in the "idle" mode. The battery curve in idle/sleep time is a check point - staying within a decent signal zone either on 3G or LTE for a few hours without traveling among towers, compare that g2 battery curve with those posted here and see if the slope is really really flat.

Once time, I was at home all day. On wifi and the screen brightness was at 0-30% all day. Got 10 hours of battery. That was with pretty much continuous usage for 10 hours... Hardly any standby. No gaming -- all web browsing, facebook and messaging.
Having purchased the mate 10 pro back in march i was expecting a good 6hrs of SOT. However i have only managed to hit that once in 3 months. I have done multiple factory resets and investigated what was wrong using accubattery with little to no success. In fact i have found something odd. I get better battery life charging to 90% then 100%(how odd right?). From 100 to 20 i get about 3hrs 45mins to 4 hrs of screen on time. I get a similar amount if not more if I charge to 90 and let it drain to 20. ( usually around 4hrs SOT) I have thought about taking back to the carrier and fixing it but i cant be bothered waiting 2 weeks for them to probably not find anything wrong and returning it back. The model is BLA-L09 8.0.0.134(C34). Im gonna try using a different carrier to see if its a carrier problem even though i consistently get full bars of signal. Anyone else get such crap battery life or is it just me. Im hoping future updates like gpu turbo will rectify this problem and improve efficiency. Check my accubattery stats in the link below. Usage is normal web browsing, messnger, fb, youtube. All background apps disabled. Location wifi scanning off.

I don't know when or who began the SOT fever, but it's not a very reliable way of measuring battery life across users and devices.
I can squeeze 4h maybe a bit more depending on the day, and people consider it bad, well in my former phone I would be happy if I'd get 3.
But I don't disable any radios, I don't set the screen brightness to the lowest value possible when it's just bearly readable and I don't care about apps running on the background, actually I've every kind of aggressive battery management disabled.
I stream a lot on YT, Netflix and from my cloud drivers, when the screen is of I'm probably still streaming some kind of audio (be it podcast, spotify or YouTube), all this mostly via 4G and connected to Bluetooth headsets.
I have seen a lot of claims that the Kirin 970 isn't as efficient as it's counterpart (SD835 and 845), but haven't found any test backing up this claim, neither have I been able to test it.
What I noticed is that the Mate drains quite a lot of battery on standby compared to other phones, makes me think that the modem isn't very efficient, because the kernel goes through the right cycles of sleep and wake (doze maintenance windows) when in standby.
Having the phone connected to WiFi while on airplane mode improved my battery consumption quite a lot, if your carrier supports vowifi you can try it.
But having a charger that can charge enough of the battery in a bit, I don't even care in saving battery tbh.
7-8h here regularly with most of 4g,ive never seen less than 6h.

i never used to care about SOT either but upon watching utubers like uravg consumer and Mr mobile and other say they easily last the day with 60-70% remaining makes me annoyed that my mate 10 pro cant do that. Also reading through the battery forums where people are getting 6-8hrs makes me frustrated that i cant similar mileage.

Makes you wonder what they (and others) classify as intensive use.
Mr. Mobile also claims that he didn't felt let down by the 300ah battery on the G7 thinq, it would last him a busy day till the night.
Well it lasts me from 7am to noon before I'm reaching the lows 30%, depending on the day.
Here is the thing, what someone may consider "intensive use" might just be light use compared to your usage.
Someone that says "oh but I'm playing like more than 1h a day", well this person might have the phone on auto brightness (and the Mate chooses a level that falls loweer than what I would want), several radios turned off and he/she might be playing a not so gpu and cpu intensive game, in the mean while if I'm streaming 1h of youtube I know the hit on the battery will be dramatic, 4G radio and BT always on, screen on a higher than average brightness and I might even be doing something else on the phone (either using PiP or dual-window).
Unless there is an app crashing you battery, something that's easy to spot, it might just be that your usage is just more demanding that others.
The only variable that you don't have a control is indeed the network coverage, the leaser the coverage the more battery your phone will use, and if your network is based on lower frequency bands, your phone might be working a bit higher indeed to talk to the tower.
As for your mention of GPUturbo, it will automatically oberclock the gpu when in a demanding game, I'll suppose it might have a slightly negative impact on the battery, but it doesn't need to be this way, and if it is, you'll only notice it while playing a graphics intensive game.
Edit:
By all means I'm not trying to discredit those or any other reviewer, but I put my questions mark if the totally unscientific "in my use" measuring should be the only kind of information we get from them.
This will sound pretty familiar to anyone who watched any phone review: "in my use with browsing, some calls, music stream and emailing I get X hours of use"
And I'm like okay, but how many minutes of calls? Over what network (wifi, 4g, 3g...), Speakerphone, regular call or wired headsets, what Browser and how long, screen brightness, etc etc etc ..
Even if you try to be consistent it's difficult, I know for a fact that in winter I get more battery life out of my phones due the simple reason that the days are shorter and darker in general.
If you are testing a Key2 you'd be expending less time playing games or watching content, just because the form factor pushes you off doing those tasks.
I think those reviewers should move towards more consistent testing found in more classic reviews, providing a consistent environment for testing, like measuring the phones brightness to test how much battery something like X time of video playback takes. There are even automated tests that you could run a few you'll get a score at the end.
I'm not really sure why y'all get such bad battery life, I have all my apps set to manual monitoring none automatically launch unless I tell them to it only certain ones they running in the background. I don't need every notification every second, so that definitely helps GPS is turned off, Bluetooth always on connected to my Android Wear, Spotify three to five hours per day average over Bluetooth, PBA bowling for about an hour a day, camera wanted to pictures a day if I'm in the mood to take pictures of my car, and regular everything else phone calls texts checking Instagram Snapchat Etc

Working days,house-caffe bar-office and vice versa,4G/WiFi,auto brightness,3 emails sync,twitter,whatsapp,viber,LINE,Vikings(battery hog game). Around 8h of sot. Give or take 30min.
Working days,traveling,4G only.weaker signal,all other the same....6-7h of SOT.
Weekends home WiFi....playing games and lurking on twitter. 9/10h of SOT.
Bummer for the game

What percentage of the battery does your screen and phone idle take up under hardware?
There's a battery thread in this subforum i believe I've put all my screens there
First of all: you are a victim of your own mind. I study behavioral economics atm and one big implication is that a lot of judgments are based on a reference point that is initially set when you first receive information about something. You watching all these ridiculous "reviews" anchored the magic 8h sot in your head. now you will always compare your numbers to that. or other high numbers. and be disappointed. huawei did not understand yet that it is not enough to make a quick sale by exaggerating specs but long term customer satisfaction.
I only get like 4-5h of sot too (in a period of 24h). I think its great coming from an s8+. The iphone 7 of my gf gets like 1.5h sot in 8h usage lol
I think you should not focus on numbers. battery is dependent on too many factors. (your screenshots about charging to 100 or 90% are pretty useless). rather should you think about "is it enough for what i need it every day?".
i play pubg mobile on max brightness quite a bit lately some arcades mostly, full matches on my ipad (20-40min/day), watch some youtube but i dont have any social media apps besides twitter installed, though i use instagram in chrome. i have a garmin watch aswell. What i am trying to say: doesnt matter what times others get, there are 1000 variables influencing battery life it is simply impossible to pin it down to one number. i have my pattern of usage and its not changing so much only sometimes there are spikes, so all i care about it "will it get me through a normal day, preferably with a little buffer?". if you cannot manage your daily life with one battery charge you should think about a powerbank (there is a huawei with supercharge). because there is no other phone better than huawei atm. its simple as that. 4000mah is the most you get in a flagship, some others reach same usage numbers but in the end no one is notably better than huawei.
I am happy with my 4h-5h sot in 24h because i dont need more. in fact most of the time i only have like 3h sot after 24h and still have 25-30% when i charge. i think our batterie life is pretty similar tbh if i use my phone more i get more sot. i think i could get 8h sot in 10h of usage with youtube or netflix but over a period of 55h i once had almost 2h sot with flight mode at night. i am happy with that.(wth are you guys doing with 8h sot in one day lol do you work?.)
when i go out spontaneously for example i experience the need for a bigger battery but it is only sometimes. for that i enojy supercharge. while all my friends have dead batterys i am still on 40% cause my phone charged from 25-75 during the 20min i showered before going out. all others only manage to charge theirs from 15-35 RIP
With my Mate 10 Pro i get 9h SOT.
if anything, this device is far too stringent with preserving battery life.
if you are having this issue, then the issue is with you and not the device. you won't find better battery efficiency than EMUI
First off disable chrome
I can get 11-13h onscreen easy with my setting. My battery accu check 102% omg

Most people with 8-10h sot here have something close to 50/50. this means that their apps consume less power relative to the phones hardware. i guess the hardware is less variable compared to software.
