I have been using by 6p for more than 1.5 years but never had amazing standby times. The phone used to last a day with decent standby but it never went to a second day with more than 50% battery even with light usage(1.5-2 hr SOT).
I recently got a Lenovo Zuk z2 as a secondary device. It uses SD 820 + 4gb ram. The standby times are crazy. With light usage,Always enabled 4G,some hotspot use and 2-3hr SOT, it easily crosses 3 day mark. It uses similar sized battery but it only has a FHD display.
Does anyone else's 6p offer better standby times ?
My 6P generally gets good idle drain. Usually less than .5 % drain per hour. Even better with wakeblock and naptime.

What apps do you run? Any messenger type apps such as FB Messenger? My idle drain is around 1.5% per hour with Wakelock and Greenify. Would love to get it down to .5%.

My 6p had disgusting battery life but that was when the device was being used. On standby I would lose about 1% over 3 hours

Mostly Tapatalk, YouTube, Spotify, Stitcher, messages and Brave browser. Don't use any extra messenger apps.

I guess the real culprit might be the messaging apps. I prefer not to use Wakeblock/Naptime as they mess with overall performance and results in lots of missed notifications.

Yes, I agree the messaging apps are the cause of the idle drain. Can't Greenify those apps, so will just have to put up with the drain. Still can get a full day of use with the 6P so all is not lost.

so i have been using set cpu with 2265 max, 729 min, interactive, test-iosched. settings....WITH the qualcomm batteryguru app...AFTER the app figured out how i use my phone, which took about 4 days. these are my current battery stats. please note the current time up and the % of battery left. granted i will tell you i have been at work all day and have not used it to call. i have used the camera, txt, my stock trading program, and chrome. but i think its fairly effective.

It is the amount of time the screen was on. Meaning you were looking at an on screen.
Sometimes, certain apps keep your device awake and increase the screen on time.
If you go to "menu > settings > battery", you can view what is using the battery. If you click on "screen on time", it will show you exactly how long the screen has been on.

Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

Anyone get a TD SERVER app1.0 that drains battery? It's draining about 7% of mine. There's a long list of apps that it says uses it. Wondered if I could freeze it or leave it alone?
I use BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock detector to figure out what apps are eating my battery and then greenify to freeze them when they aren't in use. I've gotten great battery life with that combo on all my phones

yeah, sorry for not putting that on screen time in here...it was low...barely used the phone...maybe 2 hours. i just thought this was pretty cool on the S3, while it was a great phone, even if i didnt use the device at all using the same setcpu and battery guru i would get about 15 hours max out of it. i get about the same time as blitzed26 with decent use...about 15-17 hours which i am extremely happy with!
Hi all, I just got my device and I can only get around 2h30min playing Anomaly Warzone 2 (some of the best graphics out there).
Compared to 11 hours of usage time amazon advertizes it pretty much supprises me,
Is it normal? Or I got a flawed device?
Gaming will always have am affect on the battery on the device. Have you tried letting the battery reset itself by letting it drain to 0% and then charging it back up to 100% before use?

I still haven't been to sleep so pardon my mistake.
But aside from my post about resetting the battery, if you are running a game that is very intensive then your battery life will drain very fast. But using a web browser you should at least get good battery life.
Also are you running high brightness on your device?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
11 hours is for basic use. Gaming soaks up CPU and GPU power like a sponge. I play quite a bit of Real Racing 3 and I easily eat up 10-20% of battery in about 10 races or so.

Yes I set the brightness to auto adjusting. I sat by my window in broad daylight so I guess the screen brightness is maxed out. But still it is kinda sad because my old Ipad Mini managed to get 4 hours of infinity blade 2 in same scenario.
I get about 5-6 hours browsing webs, facebook in, chatting... Etc... By the way.

The iPad is also basically an app drawer. iOS doesn't drain the battery as much as Android does.
Hey!
I just wanted to confirm if it's normal or something is wrong with my device?
Last night, before sleeping my Moto E was at 99% and in these 8 hours, it's come to 90%.
Is this normal?
I had turned the sleep mode on. But my wifi was on too, for the whole time.
My nexus 7 on the other hand hardly consumed 1 or 2% battery in the whole night on standby. So, I was a bit worried.

It depends on what background apps are running. Looks a little more than normal but I won't lose sleep on that.
Background apps would be twitter, Facebook messenger, facebook, Whatsapp, and xabber.
Twitter syncs once in 2 hours. But all of them have push notifications.

Putting on the Wi-Fi for the whole night caused this darin.. And also see if your device isn't got too high brightness.. I would suggest to lower the brightness to 10 percent and turn off Wi-Fi whenever you are not using it.. Hope this helps.

Those coupled with Wi-Fi can surely eat up battery.
Also make sure your location settings are also off.

Is Samsung going to fix the OS battery drain that plagues the S7e? If not, it a deal breaker for me. I gave up the S7e for moto z force and the battery last at least 30% longer. Both phones have very similar size battery at 3600mAh & 3500mAh respectively.

not all s7e have the battery drain issue, if you have tried a full factory reset and tested the phone without installing extra apps and its still got battery drain then get a refund I guess. got heaps of apps on mine, like tasker and macrodroid and I don't really have any battery issues.
just my 2cents.

If that is true, they should have put a 20,000 mah battery in it before they sealed it up. 4.5 hours is going to hurt. Are they going to start selling a real backpack full of fuel cells?

If battery life is such a big concern, don't forget Samsung is going to offer a 3100mah wireless charging "backpack" http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-note/galaxy-note7/accessories/.
How can you only get 4h or SOT when the battery is basically the same size as the S7e and the display is hardly any larger? I've got the S7e and it has the most amazing battery life of any phone I've ever used. I'm holding out on getting the Note 7 until there is some more data on just how long the battery last. If it really is 4h, then I'll give it a miss.
When I find the link I'll edit my post but someone has claimed, and been showing 5.5+ hours of SoT with everything running (BT, AOD, tons of apps in the background, etc.).
I wouldn't be too worried, it has a fairly large batt, and I doubt it's going to run a much shorter duration than the s7e, it simply wouldn't make sense.

Probably a good idea to wait for N 7.0. Then maybe the MM battery drain bug won't be an issue.

The snapdragon Note 7 seems like it'll get 4-5 hours without tweaks, which is ok
Battery drain is definitely not fixed.

Let's see a screenshot first.
I believe that some people don't have it for whatever reason (don't change a thing or you might find out what everyone is complaining about) but you're a tiny percent compared to those that do.
3500mah should easily get 7 if it weren't for the MM drain bug.
S6 with 2550 is easy 5 on LP. Barely 4 on MM.
Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the LG G6's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Played a lot of games and apps at same time without closing them, and even dual windows some stuff. Phone seems unphased at all, other than a little heat which is to be expected due to so much running, but it ran like a PC. No lag, no hiccups, no problems. I also had the screen brightness set to 79% so that may also be a factor.
Day 1, 1st Full Charge, heavy usage especially from the morning till midday.
thanks for the pic
After 1st charge to 100%, day started at 7AM and was at 5% by 8PM. The day consisted of about 4 hours of video streaming, 2 hours of Pandora, and about 20-30 minutes checking facebook/instagram.
2nd day, 100% started at 6AM and it's currently at 60% at 1:35PM. About 45 minutes checking facebook/instagram, 1 hour streaming video and 1 hour reading manga.
Both days have location services and Wi-Fi on, Screen always on setting turned off, and auto brightness.

No adjustments at all Jeremiah. I did push the auto brightness up an extra 5%. Coming from a S6 this screen needed the extra brightness when I'm sunlight.
Wi-Fi is on all day and Bluetooth for most of the day as I have a Gear S2 Classic connected to the phone.
My S6 could get me 19hrs uptime but the SOT wpuld be like 2hrs maybe 2.5hrs
Light usage should easily get me 2 days on the G6.
