How is battery life? Actually, is oreo good in general? Im between going to stock oreo, or staying 7.0 persian rom.
Positive feedback :
contact and sms have no lag now...
smoother than nought
taking photo faster than ever
negative feedback :
Auto bright doesn't work well
setting ui and notification panel hasn't good ui(my idea)
Battery life is not as good as nought
I want back to nought... last build of nought is really good

You are talking about nougat 7.1.2? Because i am currently on 7.0
Oreo is nice, Settings app aside I have nothing to complain about.
Not a custom ROM guy though and I much prefer being on the latest patch level.
Sent from my Sony Xperia X using XDA Labs
I've being using it since it came out.
My feedback:
- Overly it is good, but the new notification management is pure BS (I want notification as it was on nougat).
- As for battery, for me, it is pretty much the same as on nougat (since I use a lot my phone a data and rarely on WiFi) didn't notice a big difference.
Oreo drains my batttery
15% battery dropped to 1% after 1 hour even my X on Extreme Stamina Mode

1 hour SOT? Or STB?
I think it's quite bad. I get about 3 hours of usage from near 100% charge to 1% charge. That's roughly 1 day usage. Whereas with my XA1 Ultra I can literally do the same stuff I do on the Xperia X and it will last 3 days.
My Xperia X is rooted with XGEN stock based custom ROM installed though and the XA1 Ultra has legit stock Oreo.

Can everyone tell us if the battery life of the G2 is better or worst after the upgrade to lollipop.
Kk better
same for me
5.0.2 better for me
5.0.2 is better, 40h on, 7h sot (my best). 1h more than kk.
for me better 5.0.2. i guess maybe 10%. maybe in some conditions will be kk and in other conditions lollipop
Kk is better for me(cloudyg3 1.3)

For me KK still better.
Lollipop is better for me 30b
kitkat had much better battery stats for me...
Kk better for me
When i am watching the results here from the poll i am wondering to update or not With KK i got 7 hours SOT without any problem , with wi-fi and 3g ... Is it so bad with the LP ?
Stop posting Lolipop battery results if you're running a custom lolipop rom and not the stock one.
I assume people want to know if it's worth upgrading to lolipop.
At least that's what I also want to know.
I'm not sure whether to upgrade or not now
I just got given a new g2 a few days ago. I previously was using a galaxy S4. I'm getting literally double the battery life compared to what I got in my S4. I've hit 7.5 hours screen on time in a days use. With my galaxy S4 I was lucky if I got 4 hours SOT...
The battery life on this G2 is phenomenal. I'm actually really impressed with the G2 as a whole. The tiny bezels make it look sexy. The screen is bigger than what I had before. The awesome battery life. And IMO the camera is better too.
The only thing I miss is the sexiness of the AMOLED display. But overall I think the G2 is the better device. Loving it so far. This thread has made me a bit worried about upgrading to lollipop though.
I could take a full system image so I could go back to the way it was, I suppose. I'll need to do a lot of reading up. I'm very experienced with Samsung phones, but this is my first LG and I've only had it 2 days. So much to learn...
lollipop is better for me. after deinstalling Facebook and Facebook Messenger app the battery is great for me

This. I've tested custom LP roms and they had at best "meh" battery life. The Stock LP update from LG is fantastic, not as snappy as AOSP roms but great in terms of battery. But, you need a few cycles to get things going - around 3 to 5 and it's great.
IMO definately worth the upgrade. No problem going back to KK after (KDZ).
Better battery life for me on D80130b
for me has STOCK D802 20H the same as STOCK D802 30B
i cant say one is better ... i think LP (30B) is cleaner ...
I lived one week with lollipop, then returned back to 20D.
Camera is horrible in lollipop.
Standby battery is also horrible in lollipop.
7h sot on kitkat, 4h on lollipop, I had screen on top 31% and then cell standby 28%, not normal.
Can you guys post a battery stats screenshot?
I have a new G2 (got it on Friday), updated to LP immediately as I'm "in love" with the material design (came from an ageing nexus 4). Compared to the nexus, the battery is amazing, but I think I can do better.
For example, I unplugged the phone 8:30 hours ago, right now I have 81% left. usage:
1. screen - 29% (57 minutes) - automatic brightness, I think that the average was about 60-70%+ (mostly sunny outdoors + fluorescent indoors)
2. Cell standby (15%)
3. Android OS (11%)
4. Android system (8%)
5. Phone Idle (7%)
6. Wi-Fi (6%) - was apparently turn on but I am using it for about 4 hours. Other than that - 3G or 4G.
other than that, some apps (on background I have FB+messenger, whatsapp, hangouts but not heavy usage today).
I can estimate that I'll have about 3-4 hours SOT top. Do you guys think this usage is normal?
I also must say that I've done about 3 hard resets after updating it. I think about doing another one, however It's better to give it 1-2 weeks to see if it's getting better (new phone + new update).
Hi !
I come from Z, than Z3....
I find the battery life from XA Ultra is a little low compared tl the other Z i haved..
My phone is unlocked bootloader, rooted, recovery installed.
A little big debloated ?, only 60 private apps (no Facebook, no Instagram, only whastapp...)
I use kernel audiutor in order to tweak a little the kernel, and i emelated init.d with a little tweaks for battery life...
However, ican only have 10 hours with my battery with 100%, i had 2 days with my Z3....
How is Your battery life?
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!
Whats your screen on time ? I was thinking of getting a xa ultra but not sure if I wanna if battery is bad. Also how quick does your charge to 100?

Screnn is 50% pro Day on.
I need 3 hours to have 100%.
At the moment i have 97% but only 11h...
But its probably due to my personal tweaks or apps or xpoded modules i,ve install, that s why i need some avis other users from XA Ultra....
That's just en estimate based on your latest usage. Pay no attention to the calculated time. Your real usage is what counts.
Battery life is bad on this phone. For being a 6" phone it's very bad. I get 3-6 hours of screen on time depending on usage. It's modem doesn't seem power efficient neither does the processor. Battery drops quickly both in standby and in usage.
My Honor 8 has much better battery life than this phone. However I knew this before buying you can't do magic with a 2700mAh battery. I bought this phone cause it looks good. It lasts me a full day for the most part but if you start pushing it battery won't last.

Where did you get the recovery from? As of my current writing, there aren't any TWRP recoveries for Ultra XA single sim and there aren't any guides on XDA on how to install the recovery. Can you share?

Hi, TWRP is in the rootpack for XA Ultra SS with a boot.img and SuperSu zip. You can find it on Xda (XA Ultra forum).
Follow the XA root guide after you downloaded the rootpack for your device, on Xda too.
Please search a little and it's not the good tread for root questions. You have a Q&A thread if you need.
I just got mine a week ago and it's splendid.
Haven't really got around to mod it, it's stock, but It performs quite well, and I use it heavily too.
What definitely is a bonus is how fast the battery charges. I get about 40 % in half an hour.
I get that the battery being smaller is a factor here but I like those numbers.
Android Central says the battery is "great", but I don't trust reviews until XDA can prove it! Show us your screenshots if you happen to have an X Compact.
With mode Stamina performance.
well seems ok, thank you for the screenshot.
after 3 days in normal mode. (no stamina)
My battery life is insane, it's the best I've ever had on android.
I'm at 41% battery in the screen shot attached. And I've already got 4+ hours of SOT.
I've watched YouTube videos, been on Facebook, Twitter etc and been listening to the radio/music In the gym.
Some proper voodoo going on here, but now I get why they used the smaller, nippier processor. :victory:
Anyone who's used Z2 here? I wonder how the battery performs compared to my Z2. Endurance Rating in GSMArena says 73 hours compared to the 89 hours of the Z2.

gsmarenas battery test is personally not the best method. i rather like phonearenas. their method is much more realistic as they are not only testing video playbacks but also social media, browser and so on. usual smartphone usage.

GSMArena change the battery testing method in this year.
Every phone that GSMArena reviewed before 2016 have the brightness adjust by postioning the slider at 50% when do a battery test, but this year they fix the brightness to 200 nits.
http://gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_x_compact-review-1495p3.php
the article said the X Compact have 106 nits brightness when adjust the slider at 50%. That's mean it will get the better result if they use the old method for testing like Z2.

Thanks, I like hearing that, I'm not one who keeps the brightness above 50% much, only in rare occasions, I usually keep it at 30-40%, and 0% during the night.
Mine sucks. Literally. I enabled the battery optimisation (on the top right 3 dots menu), Stamina should kick at 20% or below, no Ultra Stamina. The last hours have been good compared to the other days.

Glad you like it, bet it feels like a big jump up from the m2. Go to settings location tap the three dots top right and then turn both sliders to the off position WiFi and Bluetooth are always scanning in the background for connections for Google even if you turn them off in the settings on mm it crucified the battery on my xa. I'm getting between 3.5-5hrs screen time from a 2300mah battery not used stamina mode since getting it in July.
Another top tip install greenify and activate the aggressive doze and doze on the go feature via adb it's literally two command lines it makes doze work more like old stamina mode did and it works on unrooted stock devices.

Hey Aidy, long time no see!
yeah, I already did the trick of disabling WiFi and BT on Location settings. This could be why my battery improved in the last couple of days. It was consuming up to 6% per hour! But there must be something wrong with my settings. I synched the XC with the M2 via Xperia Transfer and something may have gone banana.
I mean, now I am at 22% after 32h, but only with 1h 40m of screen. The battery life raised also because I didn't touch the phone much. I dunno, my feeling is also that MM on XC is pretty bugged at the moment. The brightness goes to down 0, the WiFi connection is worse than the one on M2 (!!) and the stupid Xperia Home breaks my themes (fixed installing 10.0.A.0.73 from apkmirror. But also the latest Xperia Home beta is fine). And sometime it heats just doing nothing.
The performances are amazing, though! I can't make it lagging!! Well.. Actually I can. Enabling the Stamina mode. It isn't real lag but it feels like it goes down from 60 to 30 fps. I'd love to know why many complained about the lack of Stamina mode if the most it seems to do is to reduce the performances. And what the heck is that Ultra Stamina anyway.
PS: But yes, it has been a quite nice jump! Hopefully this one will last AT LEAST 3 years in terms of updates. :laugh:

3 years of updates would be amazing but ill doubt it, if it reaches at least 2 years, thats good enough, but hey, its Sony's decision

I dunno. The Xperia Z went through all updates from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 up to Lollipop 5.1.1. The Z3 won't get Nougat because (so I understood) Google simply doesn't support that HW for new Android releases.
But I see now that Sony calls the Xperia XC a "Premium Phone", the flagship for the X series starts with the Xperia XZ. And as premium we don't even get the Xperia Lounge gold subscription. Stingy b***s.
Yeah.. Android 8 might be the last. So annoying.
How do you know if quick charge is working? I downloaded Ampere and another battery tester app. Used the provided usb and an expensive Anker one and both apps and cables show 1050 mA charging using the provided QC3.0 charger. Does the screen need to be off or do I just not under quick charge? This is my first new phone in 4 years lol. Still loving my optimus g.
Anyone compare it to a Z3c? I typically get 5-7 hours of SoT on my 2014 Z3c and regularly go 3 days between charges if I don't use it much, which I've come to consider the norm now. This with Stamina mode only set to come on when the battery is under 35%. Will the Xc do as well?
Granted, it took a while to configure the Z3c to maximize battery -- disabling various pointless background apps and processes etc. -- but after size, the battery life is my favorite aspect of the Z3c.
Overall as per looks it's awesome, but at performance and battery it's not good, tbh it was much better on marshmallow...
I think this is a thing now, the more the devices get updated to nougat the more their battery life sucks..
I charge my P9 Plus 2 times a day due to this bad update!
As I currently own a OnePlus 3t as well and since it got updated to the latest nougat it's battery life also sucks!:crying:
I got my update through the phone and did not install it from PC onto my P9 Plus..
What are your reviews on the new nougat update?
Though, if someone has has a fix to this update that causes bad battery and bad performance, then please be free to mention it below!
Well at least for Europe there is a new Update from B360 to B370 that is supposed to also improve battery consumption. I must say I didn't notice the battery lasting any less long than under MM anyway, for me it stayed just the same more or less. I can make it through the day+night easily, depending on how much I use even two days. If you say you have to charge twice a day that definitely doesn't sound normal, did you ever try if a factory reset resolves the issue?
No I didn't, it just automatically updated with my current data which was on MM
Hi
How is the battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat on tab s3? I'm worried that the oreo update will decrease battery life and performance, so I haven't updated it yet. I read many posts about the oreo update messing up the battery life of Samsung s8 phones, so I'm very sceptical about the oreo update.
Thank you in advance!
In my opinion, the battery consumption is far more worse, than I've expected.
But that's no big news, because it is/was the same with the nougat/oreo update on the galaxy s9.
Got the v8.0.0 April 1 2018 update yesterday. So far zero issues.

But is it significantly worse than with nougat as the os on the tab s3.
A couple of days in and battery life seems to be a lot better than with the previous OS version. I find I don't have to plug in again until well past lunch time where as before I was plugging in at lunch time. So better battery life and the UI is feeling a little crisper and faster.
Sorry long time irregular user here but on my US wifi only S3 9.7 if that's what we're talking about here, the battery usage is waaay worse than it was before the update 2 days ago which I thought previously was excellent. I don't buy tablets to tweak them but it seems like I have to do something, I did try a list of tips I think I found here when I got the device in December I'll try to dig up, assuming that doesn't work I'll be in here asking noobishly how to roll it back.
I did not do a factory reset after the upgrade from nougat to oreo.... It's still lagging.
I have done nothing after the upgrade and continue to have superior battery life than before.

Negative. Did the upgrade and restarted the tablet. I don't do factory resets.
Oreo improved my s3's speed, minimal lag now. The battery does appear to have taken a small hit tho.
Mines turned into a lag fest and the battery is shocking. Its made a top of the range tablet into a dog.
Upgraded to oreo yesterday (Verizon U.S.). No reset here. Battery life seems worse. 10% drained sitting on my desk for 5 hrs doing nothing, mobile data turned off, wifi 'never' on during sleep.
Battery drain is fine for me. Looks better than before.. Stock WiFi not Verizon.
Update: After a few days of battery drain, things seem to have stabilized now. I seem to remember seeing something in Battery settings stating 'determining battery usage' or something similar. So maybe it takes some time to get straight, but all seems normal now.
That said, why was Oreo even released? I see no serious added features or performance gains. Only a few surface changes. But hey, at least we now have numbered badges. Big deal.
