Ok, wanted to gage opinion on what you guys think my battery life is like?
I have recently upgraded to XXKG5 via ODIN - and so far not noticed much difference in battery life compared to before. I am not rooted.
At time of writing 16:45 my battery has 23% left and I took it off charge around 6.30 this morning and was using it from 7.30am. I played music for around 30 mins in morning and watched a video on tube on the way to work for approx 35 mins. At work I listened to music for maybe 90 mins and have been browsing the internet using phandroid app on and off all day.
Wifi is on, 3g is off, I have tasker switch off 3g when wifi connects. It has disconnected from wifi as Ive moved around a fair bit all day too.
Brightness is set to 25% and has been like that all day, except for 10 minutes when I was showing a colleague photos.
No phone calls.
Battery usage is Display - 39% Android os - 28% Cell Standby - 12% Maps - 7% Android System 3%
Update at 18:30 and battery has 4%. I was able to watch around 30 mins of video on the way home. But I would like to get more than 12 hours a day from it.
What do you think ? Is this decent? Should I be getting more? Can I get more?
There are hundred of battery related threads mate.
You don't have to post that much info, just check if you are getting around 5-5½ hours screen on time, if you are, you don't need to ask anything
Regards.
I'm not sure how I can tell from the graph.

i have a galaxy and im getting some ridiculously good battery with custom rom, im at 10 hours with over 50% battery with moderate usage, i was thinking about switching to amaze because i really need led notification and camera button, can you guys let me know what the battery on the amaze is like how much usage and what percent u have ? i know itll be worse then the galaxy i just want to see how it will be to help me decide
I'm still figuring out exact battery life times, but I'm getting about 5-6 hours with very heavy usage (screen on for about 2 hours total according to battery use).
I'm at 9 hours with 12% left. I'm running unrooted totally stock but with Juice Defender Free on aggressive. Fairly heavy usage since I just got it yesterday and am constantly playing with it. That usage includes 60 min with My Tracks (gps) and PowerAMP running while out waking the dog. However I did have it connected to my pc for about half an hour while i was transferring music.
amaze
damn thats not looking good, anyone that rooted and installed one of the roms get better battery ? because 9 hours with a battery app doesnt sound too good, im at almost 15 hours with my galaxy and i have close to 50% battery left, with moderate usage (some facebooking, lots of text, emails,15-30 mins of gaming) not going to lie the battery on the galaxy with the rom i have is kind of ridiculous, best ive seen, but if the amaze can at least hold for 16 hours on moderate use on a full charge or 12 hours on heavy id be happy

im getting like 18 with my custom rom
with heavy usage ? beastmod on the amaze right ?
im on quiksense right now heavy use like wifi teather for a hour and a half i get like 9 hours - 10
but wouldnt it kill more battery if 4g was on the whole time ?

it was along with wifi sharing so that was a lot of power being used
ok
ok thanks, how many hours do you think youd get with music, several facebook notifications, lots of text, several emails and maybe 10-15 minutes of gaming and regular widgets ?

problems
ok sounds good, you guys have any small problems with the amaze that your facing ? like the galaxy has the blob problem which is common, u guys have any similar known issues ?
Hello all,
I just bought a galaxy s7 edge duos and I would like to know if there is a way, perhaps an app, that can tell if there is something wrong with my device.
I want to know if my phone's battery is performing at its best. Right now, it lasts almost 24 hours with an average of 4 to 6 hours on screen usage. I mostly browse the Web, chat with whatsapp, and play boom beach and clash royale for 30 to 45 minutes a day. I think it is consuming too much battery when idle, like one percent or so per hour.
I would like to read your opinions.
Bumping... please help out
Look into a battery stats app. But you will find that it's whatsapp draining your battery. Facebook apps are all well known bad apps for everything from performance to battery life.
Hello all ,
I was about to buy an Exynos model and read somewhere on here that there was an update to fix battery life. Is this true and how much has it improved ?
Thanks
Personally I see much better battery life after the April security update. SOT gets about 6 hours of normal use.
i still haven't received the latest update, but my battery life is great
i get 8hrs of SOT
ARD 4 is latest firmware ?
From wich country ?
Tnx.

Latest security patch, i.e. 1st April 2018
Reading Anandtech article, exynos does not seem to be a good choice unfortunately. I have read all about it after my devices was shipped today, might return it.
I will tell u the truth, i have snapdragon and 5 hrs of SOT , since 1 month so the battery life is almost same
5-6h SOT with 2 days of usage between each charge. But depends heaviliy on your usage.

Thanks, this is not bad at all for an exynos. This is really odd as some users claim they get much less like 3 hours SOT and 16 hours standby. Are you on BER5 btw.? Thanks

Yes, i am. I also changed some settings of the device and disabled a lot of apps to save some power, but im not using a power saving mode. Standby drain is still a bit high though with 3-4% in 7h.

thx, 0.5% per hour on android is not that high I guess, good to know.

I'd like to know if you guys are using Facebook and Messenger apps. Tried it on a brand new unit without logging it in and the standby drain is less than 0.5% an hour. Installed those two because I actually need the Messenger (can't seem to greenify Facebook) and my standby drain is like 2% per hour.

Nope, i do not use Facebook at all, only Whatsapp and Telegram. Facebook is known to be a battery killer. But i think there are official lite apps which significally reduce the power drain.

figured as much. I just envy how you can use those two because your contacts aren't dependent on Messenger.

Recharging the G965F(exynos dual sim) every evening at 7,8 PM after unplugging in the morning at 6,7 AM.
AOD , gallery syncing, nearby device scanning, cloud based services, find my mobile service, NFC off. Wifi power saving on, 5 Sammy blaotwares disabled , no game playing , most appkications are in sleeping mode, no battery hogging app and I'm just a light to moderate user with 90 % wifi connection.
4 to 5 hours sot and 13,14 or maximum 15 hours it lasts. Experienced other top of the line phones with better battery life.

With Messenger you mean the Facebook Messenger? Well no facebook, no friends at facebook to chat with .
I just dont like this company at all. The idea behind it is really cool, keeping people connected. But what they do with your data isnt. Not a tiny bit.
And if the trend goes on, WhatsApp will also be uninstalled someday. But this would be hard, since nearly no one uses an alternative messenger.
Whatsapp does the job for me and its much easier on the battery.
But back to the topic: Have you tried this Lite app?
Should be less stressfull for your battery.

Sounds a lot like my usage, also the settings you have done. Did you also disable 4G active while on Wifi? Its hidden in the developer settings.
Otherwise im currently ~32,5h off the charger with 42% left. My screen usage is at 2h 22min, so maybe 4,5h overall in this run. But its not too bad cause of the overall runtime, as standby also drains the battery.
If im pushing the battery more without trying to achieve 2 days i have no problem getting to 6h of SOT.

That sounds very similar to another poster here who is also having issues with dual sim battery drain. He also made the same comment about having better battery life with other "top of the line" phones. Interestingly, I thought you posted a screenshot of 8+ hours SOT with the exynos recently (and 15+ hours SOT with the snapdragon). So I suppose those figures weren't a good reflection of your "average" SOT? As now you're mentioning only half that SOT, despite quite a few tweaks too.
Question - it sounds like you have around 9-10 hours where you're not actively using the phone during a typical discharge cycle. Do you have a sense of what your hourly standby drain is (I asked the same question of the other person having issues and I think he mentioned about 1% or less drain per hour)? A good way of observing it is leaving the phone uncharged overnight. I'm just curious as to whether your relatively poor battery life is mainly due to excessive standby drain or excessive drain despite only doing light-moderate tasks. I ask this because, in my experience (and also with people like Galaxo60) and demonstrated in numerous battery drain video tests, heavy use (eg. GPS navigation with high accuracy) tends to drain the battery by around 10-15% per hour and very heavy use (complex games, video calling) tends to drain the battery by 15-20% per hour.
Assuming a standby drain of 1% per hour (which is on the high side with AOD disabled and a good wifi connection), you can see that even if you played a complex game for 2 hours (40%), then an hour later (1%) you did a video call for an hour (20%), then an hour later (1%) you spent 2 hours navigating Maps with GPS on high accuracy (30%), and then you went to sleep for 6 hours (6%), your battery would be down to about 2% over a total of 13 hours on battery with 5 hours SOT. I'm probably giving the high side of the estimated battery drain in each task too. And this should be without any significant tweaking (based on my experience, and unless those video tests forget to mention tweaking etc). It sounds like you don't do any of these heavy or very heavy tasks, and therefore your SOT should be more like 6-7 hours over 20 hours or so (just a rough guess to make the point).
So assuming your hourly standby drain is also around 1%, then the only thing I can think of is an app that you're using or a task that you're doing (or some specific combination of apps/tasks that exynos doesn't like?) that is draining the battery more than it should. Or throwing in a wild speculation, somehow there's a built-in kernel backdoor that activates while your screen is on and is secretly doing something that drains your battery more hehe (and of course doesn't show up in any battery stats).
I know the occasional poster has also mentioned having only 1-3 hours SOT, so you're not having the worst reported SOT I suppose. It would be interesting to know what the hourly standby drain for those people etc is too.
Waw

Where have you seen me posting 8+ hours with the exynos? It was of 6 hours and 50 minutes in the "screen on time" thread achieved when additional battery saving steps like bk package disabler disabling huge chunk of services and apps and keeping location in power saving mode. (bk no more working as it's removed from playstore and I went for factory reset after BRE5 update)
4 to 5 is the average sot with 13, 14 hours with few battery saving steps. No wakelocks no battery hogging applications.
Hi All,
Had my mate 20 pro since Friday and have to say I'm not overly impressed with the battery. Yes its good but I was expecting more. After seeing stats of it getting 7 hours SOT while running games and benchmarking for most it I was expecting a good 7/8 hours myself.
I'm getting around 6.30 of SOT with fairly light usage. Screen is set to FHD, brightness to around 50%, wifi on all day, 4g for around 6 hours, NFC off, Bluetooth on. Light usage mainly chrome, fb and instragram.
So do people want to share their own battery stats and any tips they have?
I find turning off the lte boost in mobile data settings has reduced the battery consumption a lot when using mobile data. Also under battery option and app launch set some of your apps to manual and untick auto launch and run in background.
