So I am a bit worried about Sola battery because it has a dual-core CPU and only 1320 mAh battery. So you tell me how good the battery is? Good? Bad?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
For me it is very good
Before my Sola i had a LG GT540 with a battery life of 9 hours. Okey, I use my Phone the whole Day, but with my new Sola i have a battery life of 12-16 Hours. The DeepSleep Mode of the Sola is very great. Over the Night (10Hours) it lost only 5% So for my it is a great Battery Life
And Sorry for my bad English

easily lasts the whole day with the wifi,3g activated. If you desactivate the brightness and the 3g when you dont use it, you can nearly get to 2 days
Yep you should get a good day out of it, up to 2 if you don't use it that much.
Battery life very depend on how and what apps you use from your phone.
e.g:- don't be surprise any games will finish battery fast, 3G data consume more battery than wifi data. PTT apps, consume the fastest.
Sony Sola hardware, battery with their tuned OS just in the very right balance way.
With .184 firmware I got 3 days 5h with one charge.
I dont play much games ~10 min checked out the dead trigger, but I did watch olympics about 40 min and listened some music with handsfree headphones about 2-3h.
Plus checking email using wifi.
3g data and nfc are disabled.
Brightness is about 95 %.
hi
i opened this thread to see how long people's battry lasts and if theres a need to replace battery.
please mention your usuage and what rom you are using.
ill start off:
using Thjap version 18b stock kernel.
usage:
1 hour of music.
10 minutes calling
3g is on 3-4 hours a day
1 hour of utube video
wifi is on 4-5 hours a day
1 hours massaging.
overall : phone lasts from 8 am till 11 pm... pretty good .
ok
rom: Xperia X10S v.9
usage:
hsdpa all day (unlimited data plan ),synch with google,email,hotmail,whatsapp,network location services.
2 hours of music,whrn im working out,(pandora radio,dont ask me how i listen to a radio thats only available inside the U.S. )
sending whatsapp messages all day(like 5 hours per day)
reading my work emails
youtube videos almost 1hour
calling 30 mins
from 100% to 55% in 4-5 hours,at 1.pm i let my phone in peace.
i got home at 4 pm,then i do a second recharge,go to gym and return home with 80%,then i go to bed with almost 50%,when i get up its in 40%,then i do a full recharge,and the cycle starts again.
overall: from 100% to 0% in 8 hours of heavy usage
not bad for a medium heavy user,and a battery that has more than 2 years.
Nice!!!!
24h with normal usage... expensive usage 8 hours from 100% to 0%
I have a 1950mAh battery, on light usage about 3days. And medium usage about a day and a half and heavy 12hours on medium brightness.
Rom: donuthd with stock kernel.

Mokee v.2: 3 hours in zenonia 4 gameplay non stop. 100-25%
24 hours if not gaming with normal osage(Sms and wifi-ing)
Nice eh?
Batterybay
Bought the 2600mah extended battery for X10 from Batterybay(.)net
light usage it actually goes 4 days and heavy usage in general it's 3 days or less, most usually 2
Because of the large screen(maybe?) reading manga or looking at a pic for a few hours, or basically just keeping screen on for a few hours drains it a lot, I recall reading manga for hours then it reduced to just 2 days or less but overall Im really satisfied this battery even if the extra thickness is quite compromise in looks
I think anything higher that 1900 would need a new back cover so I went for one which would keep it the same.

Greetings all ,
I noticed that my battery on Xperia tablet s draining very fast .
For example : i am on battery for 4h 24 minutes and i have 76 % left with 1hour 26 minutes screen time .( Which i made some internet Surf and watch some video)
Android OS has 26% of usage with Keep wake 2h 16 minutes.
Is that ok ? or something going wrong with my battery?
I think thats very bad stats.

I know my battery runs 7~8h of continuous use with 50% brightness. About 5:30h~6h with 80%+ brightness.
That is a mix of web browsing, videos, facebook, etc.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that the stand by consumption on the Tablet S is MUCH grater than, for example, samsung galaxy tab. Whereas Samsung practically doesn't use aby battery, the Tablet S may consume up to 1% every hour on stand by.
Thanks for your reply mate.
After charging several times now and did a full cicles of the battery i am getting very satisfied results and i am very happy
Thanks

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 Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

9 hours + Sot is simply amazing
Unbelievable
I'm using Zenfone max pro m1 I do usally have god & mobile data on all time for me it is just 5 hours to 6hours !
And to be frank I fell this is similar or less to my previous Redmi note 4 !!
Was expecting more I think all due to miui optimisation
im getting insane 12 Hours SOT....maybe bcz im using only a single 4g sim and wifi most of the time but this is still great battery backup
I got this one.
Good enough for me.
Great battery life with 45mins of gaming, lots of YouTube,browsing, chatting, camera,etc with 4G connection full time 4G connection.
Getting great screen-on time with Asus Pro M1, best I have seen in my experience of use on any Android Device. Getting SOT of over 12 hours plus with 33 percent battery still left in the tank. My usage has been 90 percent of the time on WiFi and 10 Percent on 4g , with continues browsing , updating of all the old apps, few pics, streaming 15mins of youtube and checking msgs on WhatsApp with display brightness set to 20 percent, Rest all of the apps in the background are disabled to use any data or notifications turned off and battery saver n data saver both enabled . This device is absolutely beast in terms of battery life, fantastic for any kind of user, I am expecting to hit close to 14:30 hrs to 15 hrs SOT with such usage.
Using this phone today for heavy gaming such as arena of valor, crossfire legends, and pubg. And also streaming music from soundcloud on my trip, it takes 4 hours streaming. On 4g mostly. So yeah, it's my heaviest usage I guess.
Looking good though.

Looking good you say ? My Mi Max 2 could do 12-15hours of SoT. Looks like Pro M1 doesn't optimised well even tho its 5000mah but last just like the Redmi Note 4 with 4000mah..Too bad asus..too bad. Hoping for MiUI rom for it

No, it's my heavy usage test. That usage test based mostly on gaming and music streaming for long time. I'm not testing the normal usage yet.
And I've used Nokia Lumia 640 XL. Trust me. The battery performance is on par with this phone when I used it also for gaming. And for normal usage, the battery backup is enough for 2 days (which is I haven't tested on my asus yet). Better than redmi note 3 imo.

So that 7hrs of SoT was a heavy usage ? Sounds like a disappointment to me. My Mi Max 2's minimum SoT always get 12hrs SoT without fail with heavy usage..15hrs if using 100% wifi
Sot not heavy usage though

Yes, it's 8 Hours actually.
And about battery, I admit that Mi Max 2 has a best battery performance in the world right now (based on GSMarena). So I understand your disappointment.
And it's my normal usage.
Confirmed, the battery performance of this phone are little bit better than Lumia 640 XL
Good battery life on this thing!
But could be more optimized ?
Almost matching up with my Lenovo P2's Beast Battery (The record was 19 Hours SOT)!!
My device gives 9hrs to 12 hrs of sot. Always on 4g , 2 hrs of gaming (tekken) , rest wtsapp , youtube web browsing etc.
On 4G .. 7 hrs. YouTube .. 1.75 hrs. WhatsApp .. 2 hrs. VLC movie .. 30 min. Calls

Wrong, Lenovo P2 has the best battery life in the world check the facts. And Mi Max 2 is uncomfortable for pocket, it's more a tablet than a phone.
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.

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.

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.

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.
