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 Essential Phone before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
took it down from 100% to 1% and was just over 6hrs SOT. couldn't be happier at the moment ?
how is your signal strength and what carrier do you have?
My most recent battery charge shows 5hrs of SOT with 2 hrs straight gaming in King's raid and about 40 min of Google maps navigation and it's at 15% left.
Cell levels were fluctuating yellow to red for the first 3/4 of the charge but once i went downtown to work, it's all green. I'm with Verizon.
I've been really impressed so far - pushing 7 hours. Not the consistent 7.5 my short-lived S8+ got, but a huge step up from my Nexus 6P's 4 hours.
not bad

Love the phone! Just need a custom ROM now
I can confirm that I'm getting good screen on time too. Around four and a half to 5 hours. This is a lot better than I was getting on my old Nexus 6p. So far I'm very impressed but will do further testing and post the results here.
Today is my second day with this phone... Got about 3 1/2 hours SOT with everything on and screen to full brightness. I assume you guys have brightness turned down and gps off?
Wow
After first full charge I'm blown away ?
My old S7E would have been well and truly on zero battery by now.
42 percent battery left and just over 5 hours SOT!!
This phone sips on the battery, battery life has been outstanding to say the least.

What's with the full brightness, I get blinded if brightness is pushed to the max
First day and first full charge, pretty impressive. Only downside is the camera is so bad compare to my old s7e.

I have to say compared to my HTC U11 the battery life of the Essential is pretty impressive. I use Accubattery to monitor my battery and it gives estimates on SOT and the U11 was always at 8hr but this Essential is at 11hr. I know that will never happen but it does show the difference calculated by the app based on use.
Right now I'm at 4hr SOT and 52%. Very impressive.

What apps you have running? Also what is your awake to screen ratio? Might have some apps in the bg eating your battery.
My brightness is at 50% with bt disabled, location on. I get around 6-7 SoT bout 1.5 hrs of gaming and an hour of YouTube
GPS on. I've never used a phone at max brightness. All my devices are set at 30%, with adaptive brightness on. Bt on also.

I have a note 10.1 3g and get 12ish hours screen on and 28 hours unplugged per charge. The note 2 has half the screen size of the note 10.1and just under half the battery size but jellybean is more efficient. Given that the other hardware is so similiar, 6 hours seems spot-on giving the scaling- 7+ is possible with the right settings. Can't wait for the Note 2 on ATT- this exynos 4412/Mali 400mp seems to be a kickass combo of performance and power efficiency.
There was also an article on a Russian site from a gnote 2 tester that reported the screen uses around 35% - 40% less power when displaying whites- that HUGE for Super AMOLED since whites have always been its weakness in terms of power consumption. That's getting close to the same power efficiency as Super LCD2.
Come on ATT....hope they sell the phone shortly after the 24th.

Note 1 life
I'll post a screenshot of the battery usage sometime, but I've been getting incredible life with my Note 1.. The other day I had 30% with 16 hours of use when I plugged it in at night. That's with streaming music for a couple hours,checking email, texts, making calls, and browsing (Normal use). Granted I'm using auto-brightness, dark backgrounds and non-stock cpu settings.. HOWEVER, when the screen is on for long periods (i.e. playing games) i'll drop 10% by the time i'm done.
Soo a Note 2 with a bigger battery and a better cpu should be amazing.

I'd want to see a non-rooted, stock, out of the box comparison between the two all circumstances being equal. Any other conditions aren't really comparing the battery life against the two devices.
Around 13-16 hours was what I was getting with my note out of the box. But running the ROM I'm on, I can get up to 30 hours like I did two days ago or 26 hours yesterday.

Honestly how long the battery lasts is not important to me...screen on time is. I use my device pretty heavily day to day, so it will always be charged overnight.
I see an avg of 4hrs screen on with my setup now. The note 2 sees well over 6+...I've seen them even double my screen on time. That's amazing.

Yeah not sure why we are always talk about stand by time, which will always last a full day if you only use the screen for a hour or so.
I have serious doubts about 5-6 hours when I am getting less than 2 hours screen time if I do pure LTE browsing, 3-4 hours if I do pure WIFI or low CPU tasks like reading books. In real life usage it is always going to be around 3 hours. Keep in mind the tests that websites like Anandtech are 100% optimal tests. In reality you will browse a wide variety of sites with different work loads and have wide variety of signal conditions.
Battery is only 24% larger, but screen is larger and CPU Is quad core (even if it is .32nm), I would be pleasantly surprised if stock vs stock it gets more than 4 hours of battery time in average usage.

With a different SoC, battery and AMOLED screen, I can believe the Note2 has 6 hours of screen on.
But with the Note1, it clearly can't get much over 4 hours of screen on time even in ideal conditions. Standby is great but the screen eats the battery.

I have gone over 24hrs with regular to moderate use a few times. Battery is great in my opinion. I guess people have their own way of judging battery life...

I agree I'm just curious why my battery dies quickly after it hits 50% I ended up with 5 hours screen on time and about 14 hours off the charger which is good. I'm assuming if the bottom half of the battery didn't die off so quick then thus battery would be even better

It's all in how you use your phone. Be smart with your brightness, sync settings and charge cycles and you should't have any issues at all. I got over 35 hours on my HTC One by using auto bright and doing light to moderate usage. Everyone will have different results. Also if you are rooted use "Greenify".
I work on 3rd shift (11pm-7am) and I charge my phone when I get home around 830, let it charge to 100% and unplug it before I fall asleep and I am good to go until the next morning.
Think your phone might be messed up.............

My battery is great because of the top 50% last a long time. But once I pass that it seems like it drains fairly quickly. My first note didn't do that. Plus when I unplug my phone, it drops to 98% within 10 minutes of no usage

Try watching your phone and unplugging at 99%. Its probably dropping to 98% because when your phone reaches 100% it does a trickle charge where it drains a little then charge again. You might be removing it during that cycle.

First day I had it while setting everything up, screen on, apps chugging away... After 6 hours it had only drained 40% from a full charge.
Second day, rooted. Playing with a huge variety of apps to find the right ones for me. 5-6 hours screen time, 5% from a 85% charge. I was however downloading a massive collection of large files over WiFi, that will use a chunk of battery.
Last night I adjusted all my settings to optimize power consumption and improve battery life, installed Greenify and hibernated apps that like to linger after closed. Removed all unnecessary apps and Stopped useless imbedded apps. Will report at the end of the day my results.
So far it seems that the battery life you get out of a stock battery is based on how you use your phone, what you use it for and how long you use it. Turn off any features you're not currently using, such as Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi or put the phone in Airplane Mode when you're not in service so it's not constantly searching for a signal.
I watched half of a 1080p movie with a Bluetooth stereo headset, basic functions running in the background and only dropped 10% (45mins). This AMOLED screen uses much less power than that of my previous phones, the CPU seems to process quickly and efficiently, I would have assumed a 1080p video would use more resources to decode.
Just charged my phone from 40%, I got 21 hrs out of it with 4 hrs screen time, music, texting and general browsing. I will post a screenshot tonight when I get low again.
Oh I also ran Antutu like 10 times showing friends.

DroidLife; HTC One (M8) Review
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/07/htc-one-m8-review/
Battery life sucks on the M8 ?
HTC claims that the new One (M8) could see upwards of 40% better battery life over last year’s M7, but I’m not I’m buying it. I saw average battery life in my testing on the 2,600mAh battery that wasn’t necessarily greatly improved over last year’s One. My testing typically includes multiple days in a row of nothing but 4G LTE, followed by a few with WiFi mixed in. On 4G LTE-only days, my phone was almost always begging for a charger after 10-12 hours of use and around 3 hours of screen-on time.
Per this review they say battery life is average at best, and not that good, only getting 3h On Screen time, and overall just like 10h - 12h of total battery life on the phone, and with WiFi on they get 14 hours total battery life.
I thought all the real world reviews of people, and other sites were raving about the battery life on this new One M8 ? getting like 5h to 6h On Screen time ?
I think like any phone the usage patterns vary so much that there's only so much you can conclude from individual reports. On average it seems people are getting great battery life so I would go with it will be decent. Anandtech has a more controlled testing method and the M8 even beats the LG G2 in many tests so I would say it will get great battery life under normal circumstances. Droid life is very subjective with battery life while Anand is much more objective which is why I put more faith in their tests. In the end though I had the G2 while on sprint and my battery wasn't anywhere close to what most people were getting but I also had very weak signal most of the time. Now that I'm back on ATT I'm hoping when I get the M8 I will get better battery than the G2 on Sprint.
He's smoking crack. I had a bad app for the first few days of owning my M8. Uninstalled it (after finding it in battery stats on Gsam) and it hasn't even been the same phone. Blows away my M7 on battery life and is pretty close to beating most of the other phones I have used, including the G2 and Note 3.
Idle drain was around 3% in 8 hours (tested this weekend) without battery saver mode on, which is insane for an Android phone and it lasted me almost two full days over the weekend. It can't hold a candle to my 1520, but it's still much improved over the M7 and many of the recent Android flagships.
I was on 1 day 17 hours on battery before plugging mine in this morning with pretty normal daytime use including a bunch of reboots to flash stuff. Good enough for me.

It was a OWA webmail app I had installed and yes, it showed up in the app list. It only had 1.5% reported drain, but uninstalling it made a huge improvement on my battery life. I guess the rule is: if it shows up there at all, it's impacting your battery.

I've owned a LOT of phones the last 2-3 years. Iphone 5/5s, Galaxy S4, Nexus 5, and now the M8. The battery life on this kills every one of them. I use it all day, going from watching videos on youtube, browsing FB, IG, and Tumblr, texting, and emailing. Mostly on LTE, but with a little wifi mixed in. At the end of the day I avg 5.5hr of screen on time, and have 25% battery left. I don't know what conditions they did their testing in, or what they may have had running in the background, but I think they should redo their tests.

I have very similar use. One Gmail account pushed, one business exchange account pushed, emailing, texting, calling, videos, browsing, camera etc all day long. And I have some LONG days since I have grad school after work two days a week until 9 PM so I don't even end up getting home until 945. Battery life is almost if not as good as the note 3 I was just using. And I chose the note 3 in the first place because it could get through my day.
They better check their hypotenuses.

I find it hard to believe that they could have possibly had bad battery life from this phone. I charged mine overnight Sunday night, then took it off the charger Monday morning. I just charged it this afternoon. I don't have gsam, but I'm sure I had at least 2 hrs screen time, and well over 1 hr talk time. That's way better than any other android phone I've ever had.
This has been hands down the best battery life I have seen of any smartphone I have had (see signature) screen on time is greater than 3 hours with a total time off charger of 16-17 hours. Imo if you want 6 hours of screen time, get a tablet lol.
http://androidandme.com/2014/04/reviews/htc-one-m8-battery-it-keeps-going-and-going/
This review is a lot more in line with what I'm seeing. I went out of my way to use the phone two days in a row without charging and it made it home with 7%, being on the whole time with lots of picture taking and otherwise normal use, listening to music on the train, etc. Considering that only a couple of years ago one of the biggest knocks on android phones was battery performance, I'd say things are pretty good right now.
I am a power user. I got well over 6 hours screen time yesterday. And still had 10% left. I would be LUCKY to get 3 hrs on my Nexus 5.

Here is something that helps battery life in my case, if you go to your Accounts and Sync settings then click on google, you can choose what google services you want to sync. Just turn off the stuff you don't use. It's not too big, but it helps.
I have two phones M8 and Note 3 I use them equally all day one for business and one for personal the M8 which is for business had been the victor in battery life easy by 4-6 hours, I love them both there really not in the same device category but M8 has really good battery life.

If I use my honor 5x moderately, I get around 5.5-6 hrs SOT. under heavier use it's usually 3-4 hours.
also battery would last a full 24-hr day with normal use and recharging would take ~3hrs.
Wow, this 5x is a beast on SOT.
5.5hours of sot 4me on average usage
Giving me 1 day usage
just pulled 5hrs sot

I do understand
Best one so far, 7.5 hours. Location, 4G, lots of browsing. Running B350. I don't know if that amount of awake time is normal - like my phone isn't sleeping unless I turn wifi off...
Now With 4G ON 24 x 7, I'm getting a day exactly on normal usage.
With my stock 2A charger, it gets charged by 2hrs.
moving post to correct thread.
Quite good
With a lot of ROMs ( RR, crdoid,...) getting 4h30/5h SOT with still 30% left.
Of course i use forcedoze and frooze some system apps like devtools,inputdevices,timeservice and keychain.

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 OnePlus 8 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Light to medium usage. Mostly browsing on wifi. 120hz fhd, 1st full charge.
Can't upload the screenshot, but I got 3.5h SOT with 12h off charger and 53% left.
Very satisfied, coming from s10+ exynos, which would already be below 40% with this kind of usage.
4h15 with 120hz qhd quite heavy usage alot of gaming installing apps. And Twitter
Do you guys are running last update? Someone said with new update battery lasts longer
Yep, updated in the meantime to 10.5.4 and it seems that battery lasts even longer. I thought it maybe the second full charge, but it might be effect of the update as well.
Right now at 72%, FHD 120Hz, with 2:35 screentime, 10h off charger. I would say 9h SOT should be attainable.
Hi, here are my stats. Keep in mind I'm always on QHD+ 120Hz with 50-80% brightness and Wi-Fi enabled.
1st charge (16/04): 5h40 (Heavy usage, even got overheating alert during transfer with OnePlus Switch)
2nd charge (17/04): 7h20 (on fw 10.5.4, which seems to improve the battery), with 5 hours of "Darkness Rises" and 2+ hours of YouTube
3rd charge (18/04): 7h10, 4+ hours of YouTube, ~2 hours of social apps.
Never got that much with my 7 Pro or my 6T.
Overall not too impressed. Seems a lot lower than many of you guys are getting. This is the second day of use. Day one was a similar story. Ended the day at 30% with less than 4 hours SOT. QHD+, 120hz, medium-high brightness, almost all on 5G, latest 10.5.4 update. My 6T with a custom kernel would get twice as much SOT and end the day at about 25-30%. I get I'm asking a lot more of the battery here, but it should be better no?
Not bad so far ,from 100 to 48% was all.on 4G,then from 48 to 23 mainly WiFi,screen set 120 Hz QHD

I'm also having 6T..
Don't expect this battery life .. you'll never get the battery from 6T..
Don't forget that 6T is 60hz, FHD, 4G,
OP8pro 120hz, QHD, 5G( 5g is Battery eater) ...
Have to admit that battery life is disappointing me..
I've got 8h with 120hz + qhd in auto, wifi . Games + normal usage.
Had one full charge... currently sitting at 25% battery remaining, 24 hours since last full charge (forgot to switch the socket on last night!), 3hrs 43mins screen time. Regular usage, mainly business, social media and a bit of gaming.

Yeah I think the main culprit is the 5G. Until now I've had the phone at work during the week and stayed on 5G. Today I'm on WiFi and it seems a lot better already. Pretty early still so we will see.
As I do not have 5g in my area or a 5 g SIM ,I have changed my network settings to 4g/3g only
About 6.5 hours SOT. Just normal use (I dont game)
Getting better ,this is just in wifi today and battry use over night is a trickle
9 + hours. 2 days
WiFi
4G
Location
BT 1 device
120Hz @fhd (literally no point using QHD)
Calls
Text
App usage in screen shots.
Pure stock 5.5 BA
Pretty sure I can break 10 hours.
Battery saver came on at 10%
Yet another long SOT, I've been stuck in the house but have played a few games, been on WhatsApp, XDA telegram and slack throughout the day.
WiFi and 4G always on.
Not going any lower than 10%
I think with device learning and optimised updates for the OS and chipset that these SOT scores will only improve.
Some more stats, all of this on 4G no WiFi use .I thinks it's easily a 7 hr SOT device ,more if using WiFi

You using QHD or FHD? Honestly I don't see a benefit to QHD, turn it off.
Oh and do not charge overnight mate. Trust me.
