The topic came up a little while ago about how different audio coding formats and qualities would affect battery life. It got me curious enough to actually perform a controlled test. I don't know enough about it to actually make predictions, but we are basically looking at battery drain for the processing power required for lossy audio coding formats vs the higher I/O of lossless.
My setup is an old Sprint Galaxy S4 running CM13. The older phone has a much shorter battery life than the Axon 7, so it it easier to get results. I originally tried with my Axon 7, but I had to hold myself back from checking messages and I started getting phantom vibrations when it wasn't in my pocket. Honestly, it was a little disconcerting.
I thought about starting at a certain battery percentage for each test and comparing how much it drained over a period of time, but decided it would be easier and more accurate to simply compare battery drain in %/hour, as reported by 3C Battery Monitor.
Also of note is the audio I'm testing. I have a set of seven Depeche Mode songs (Don't go there. Just.... Don't...) in 44.1kHz FLAC (188.4MB), which I then converted to MP3 in 64Kbps (13.7MB), 128Kbps (27.4MB), 320Kbps (68.6MB), and 128Kbps OGG (25.8MB) for funsies. The total playlist time is 29min 59sec.
I tried to isolate battery drain from playing different encodings as much as possible. As such, everything was played at one volume step above mute with earbuds, airplane mode on, and the screen kept off. I let each test run on loop for two hours to let things stabilize and remove the initial screen on drain due to switching audio sets.
Here are my findings:
Control (no playback) - 0.0%/hour
FLAC - 2.5%/hour
64Kbps MP3 - 2.6%/hour
128Kbps MP3 - 2.6%/hour
320Kbps MP3 - 2.6%/hour
128Kbps OGG - 2.6%/hour
So obviously, the difference in battery drain is really pretty negligible. So negligible, in fact, that my phone couldn't measure a difference between any of the lossy encodes. The only thing to note really, is the FLAC format had 0.1% less drain than the others. Big whoop.
Also, I need to go camping more often....
Well, too bad that airplane mode off bumps that to 10 ish%, so ya, def not a big deal

Btw, phantom vibrations is what i used to call "paranoide vibracallose" in german, or PVD (paranoid vibracall desease) in english...
Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk
Actually with airplane mode off, I still get 0.9%/hour idle drain. It's all about figuring out what's causing wakelocks, stopping the services you don't need, and using greenify to keep unnecessary processes from running. It also helps that the rom I was using (CM13) didn't have any issues with the system eating up battery. Still not as good as the 0.2-0.4%/hour idle drain on my axon 7, but it was damn good at the time.
Good test! Efficient music apps should keep the battery drain in check. I guess you can credit the 0.1% per hour jump in drain to the processor being utilized to decode and decompress the format, and apply dithering.
BTW, there are 6 other Depeche Mode songs?! Woah...

Hi all,
I'm a longtime iOS user who just upgraded to an ATT Skyrocket (android LTE phone) and I'm really unhappy with the battery life. However, I really crave a big screen so I don't want to switch to the 4S unless I have to so I'm checking out windows phone.
I was wondering how the battery life on the Titan is while listening to music saved directly on the device through the Zune software.
On my iPhone I could listen to the iPod which drained barely any battery (maybe 2-3% an hour at most) while using the Android stock player (which i found to be the best in terms of battery) it's more like 10%+. I listen to a ton of music while working everyday (10+ hours) so having 10% drain/hour just because the music player is going on in the background is unacceptable to me.
Also, are their lockscreen controls for the music player on the titan? And does it support in-line headphone remote control (double click to skip forward, triple click to go back)?
Any experiences? Thanks!
I've found it really light on the battery while listening to music especially wit wired headphones though it is pretty good on Bluetooth too. From the lock screen you can pause and wind and skip. Also the volume.controls work without unlocking.

I find the battery life amazing compared to my Atrix. And I think my atrix has the largest or one of the largest stock batteries on Android.
I flew from the west coast of the US to London last week, listened to music the whole way (with the radio off on the airplane, obviously), when I arrived in London my battery had drained down to about 70% full. With airport and connection in Chicago time, that was about 16-17 hours of listening. In general I am pretty happy with the battery life on the Titan.

Yes it supports these controls. I was using the headphones from my old Samsung Focus.
About everything true to the iPhone in terms of media playback, is true tithe HTC Titan. Except for purchasing music videos OTA, though that may be my inability to find any MV via the mobile Zune marketplace.
Well, and if you have sensitive cans/IEMs, then you may also notice a slight dc spike when switching tracks.

If you only buy the Titan to listen to music by itself, then you should have a good/fair battery life, but if you buy it to play games, watch out cause it will drainyour battery quickkk

To be fair, the same can be said for any mobile device I've used. Games are just battery hogs. iPhones included.
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!
The iPhone 4S can get up to 40 hours music squeezed out!!

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
Hey guys, I'm just sharing some knowledge that I stumbled upon 2days ago. It concerns video playback and conserving battery power on our Ace.
I use MX Video Player for viewing videos and like most I would just copy the .avi file or mp4 file straight onto my sd card. What I also try is to underclock the processor to conserve some battery and the speed I would usually use is 614mhz, to get a smooth playback.
However over the last couple days it just hit me "let me try to convert that avi file, see how much space I can save" so I fired up AVS Video Converter and chose the android tab and found the ace screen resolution (480x320). A typical avi file is around 700mb but with the conversion, most files are around 380mb, but that is not the great thing. Upon further inspection, I get smooth video playback (i.e. around 30fps) while using a very low cpu frequency of 245mhz.
Now I did some testing and waw, what a difference it makes I got like 5% battery drain for every 30mins of video played which is a lot better than the 614mhz.
I just thought I would share this for anyone who uses their phone to watch movies while out and about, it can save you some good juice, give it a try, it worked wonders for me.
Ok guys I did some more testing and this is what I got:
I tested by watching the same video clip (28mins) and recorded the amount of battery drain, then I let the phone charge back up to 100% and did the tests again using different frequencies. I did a stock (800mhz), powersaver (614mhz) and finally the ultimate battery (245mhz)
STOCK (800mhz)
14% battery drain
Powersaver (614mhz)
9% battery drain
Ultimate battery (245mhz)
5% battery drain
Note that the cpu governor was smartass v2, I did another set of benchmarks with the ondemand governor and I did not notice a big battery hit, only at the stock (800mhz) where the battery drain increased by 1%
EDIT: also I was not using the loud speaker, I used my skullcandy ink'd earbuds with the volume at 3.
I got more battery drain
I watch 6 hours movies anime etc
Then battery is at 25%

Hummm...that is strange, i've been getting really good results
Battery reading are pretty awful on ace
Interesting, I tried to underclock my phone's cpu power to 245MHz but the video play was not smooth at all, I then finally kept it at 320MHz
Why you used MX player? Coz video quality is good only when SW decoder is used, which is hell laggy at low Mhz. You could also have used integrated video player with the same settings you mentioned.
Any thoughts...??

I really did not try that honestly, and it uses the HW decoder, I don't choose, it selects it automatically.

6hours is good, no? How many hours of video/music playback is the phone supposed to give? Can't find the info anywhere. Also where do you leave your brightness setting to?
I got a free S5830 from someone who upgraded to something else (rooted it, installed CM10.1), and i get only 2 1/2 hours video playback (or even when playing around with settings and the screen is being used - was the same with Gingerbread 2.3.6). I'd think that the battery needs replacing (has Aug/2011 date on it), but when it's left on standby the battery drains at the normal pace it's supposed to drain at. Does that still mean the battery needs replacing?
Are you using the original Samsung battery or did you replace it?

If I play games on Cm 10.1 the battery lasts about 2 hours. So 2 1/2 hours could be normal.

Hi guys,
As you can probably guess, i am looking for a music player that has decent battery life on android.
I have an ipod touch 4 generation that has a 950 mah battery and I can listen to +40 hours with it while having decent sound level and quality.
I have a galaxy s2 with 1650 mah battery and with airplane mode, no gps i get only 10 hours music. I tryed many roms, many music apps but nothing helps still can't get over 15 hours music screen off of course.
I tryed other android devices but all have poor optimization in music. It seems like the processor is doing the decoding job while on the ipod it's a separate cpu.
Now i have a xiaomi redmi 4 prime with a 4100 mah battery and a snapdragon 625 manufactured in 14nm.
Battery life SOT is decent almost 20 hours browsing, 14 hours movie watching, 10 hours gaming, but for some reason music only works for +23 hours in airplane mode ofc.
If it had same optimization as the ipod touch it should get over 160 hours !
I think Qualcomm claims to have a third party music decoder allowing the cpu to deep sleep while listening to music in airplane mode all connexions disabled but it seems like it's not working.
Does anyone have a rom or any android device, music player that have a good ratio in music consuption ?
Like 1000 mah for 20/30 hours, ipod is 40 hours for 950 mah that's like 6 times better than any device i had so don't tell me consuption is coming from jack, obviously it's something else that keeps the cpu awake in Android.
Deep sleep is working great on my device btw so maybe it's google play service that is avoiding cpu to sleep while listening to music.
Whatever the reason, i just want a solution since i'm a hiker and I need 1/2 weeks battery before charging and I don't wanna take my ipod that's some extra weight !
I use same earbud for all devices so it's not the cause and i turn off audio equalizer and special effects like bass boost since I know it uses extra power.
Thanks for reading guys i didn't see any thread that talks about this so I just made one
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.

do u have accubattery installed? what does the discharge rate say? My discharging speed currently is 529ma and this usually reaches 600. 4000/600=6.5hrs of continue use. Im never gonna get that because theres also standby battery usage.

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

NO i don't,don't have need for that. I just look at battery stats in settings occasionally.
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

so can you post your power consumption?
for 1h usage of kiwi or chrome it draines 1200mah according to my stats.
generally what i notice is that for it always displays hardware around 25-30% and software around 70-75%. 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.
