I wanna buy the phone and I just wanted to know 2 things.
How much hours of screen on do you usually get?
Does the cpu degrades over time? I have heard that new mediatek cpus are much worse than snapdragon ones.

For me: 3 days of use.
Today I charge the phone between 09:00 and 11:30 a.m. up to 100% and now at 21:24p.m. it still have 77%
I have the umidigi f1 2 weeks ago.
//Removed post. *Misread topic.
2-3 days easily, even with heavy use. I've gotten well over 12 hours of screen time in some cases (tho i usually have my screen at medium brightness), though usually I charge the phone at night if I'm under 40% before bed.
I used to be battery conscious with other phones but this one I've just forgotten about battery life completely because i usually will have enough battery for whatever i need at whatever time of day.
I've had the F1 for about 2 months now. I get about 3-4 days on regular use with wifi/blutooth on. My screen is set to auto for brightness. As posted above, I charge it when it goes to 40% or less.
Plug it in overnight, it charges from 11pm to 5am.... The battery life is WOW...alot better than my wifes galaxy or an Iphone I used to have....
I've had the Umidigi since January 2019, like others here have responded, I usually easily get three days out of the battery. Today is a typical day, taken off charge today at 6am, now 12 hours later after a business day's use it is still at 84%
I've not noticed the cpu slowing at all, it is just as snappy now as it was when i received it 8 months ago

I've only had one other android phone, and that was an Atrix. I got about 12 hours from each charge and 2 hours screen time--- compared to when I first got it when I got 20 hours and 3 hours screentime.
It seems like this galaxy note is going to be the same way so far -- although i REALLY want to be bale to get 30hrs and 5hrs screen time. Let's see if I can

Wow...Really? I had the Atrix as well and could get well over 30 hours of charge on it after about a year. The first few months I was seeing between 12 and 20 hours. For me it seemed the longer I had it the better the battery life was.
I'd frequently have it unplugged from 6 AM to 1 AM daily and have 60% left. That may be because all my usage came over a consolidated period of time and the rest of the time was light usage.
My first Android phone was the original Droid...I was able to coax around 24 hours out of it...but I was rooted with a custom ROM and a LV overclock kernel for it.
I'm hoping that I can get at least 14 hours with the Note on the same sort of routine...not so much this week because I don't want to put it down! LOL...my usage has gone from Light/Moderate to HEAVY...I fully expect to be able to hit this after a few more charge cycles (provided my usage goes back to normal...with the screen size I can see myself using this more than the Atrix, so we'll just have to see).
Over 20 hours of use with wifi, Bluetooth, LTE, auto-brightness, web browsing, video playing, texting, emailing and forum posting.
Yea, that's 5h 14m "screen on" time, too. 5.3 inch LTE device with those battery stats - yea, I'm happy. If your expectations are any higher you're delusional. 100% stock.

I want to select 14-16, but in this poll are you implying that at 16 hours I need to hit the charger or turn it off? This is rather subjective because I have a few friends that consider a phone "dead" the minute it hits 30%. Hell even the custom power saving profile is defaulted to kick in at 30%.
16 hours from my workday wake up time is only 11PM. I'd like to think if I decide to go out on the weekends I don't need to worry about charging up unless I've been using the phone like crazy throughout the day.
So we are at 10-12 hours so far in the poll. I hope we can get more input.
It's just $25 for TWO (semi-decent) spare batteries and a charger on Amazon... so no worries!
That said, the first few days with this phone have been rough! I've been using it so damn much that I have to plug it in at just 6 or 7pm when I get home from work. (DOH!) I'm sure my usage will go down a little after the honeymoon period wears off (maybe?). Luckily, though, my spare batteries are set to arrive today... so it's all good!
Ever since I installed cm7 stable, my battery wont get to 4200mv, max is 4191 after 10 hrs on charger. Is this a sign of a bad battery or a bug within the rom? I forced it to show 100% by doing the battery pull while plugged in trick, but I've never come across anyone not reaching full mv when doing this just the not showing 100% search didn't result in anyone with the mv issue just the % issue. Anyone know what maybe be the issue?
The only time you'll see 4200mv is when you're plugged in to the charger and the phone things the battery is full. Battery cells degrade so the battery is pretty much never going to hold 100% of it's capacity.
Honestly 4191mv is pretty good. I'm usually around 4160mv or so after coming off the charger unless I need to do a calibration.
how long does battery last on a blur-based stock non-overclocked rom? 4 days? 5?

I never got even 16 hours out of mine on stock. In fact even on custom roms im barely getting from wake up in the morning to before bed at night. I'd say from 7am to 10pm before I have to plug in. I am on it probably a total of 5 of those hours with 3 games I play, looking at xda about 10 times a day and the occasional call.
Is that 5 hours of screen time? If so, I would personally say that sounds pretty good. I've always got about 24 hours standby and maybe 3 hours screen time on most ROMs.
Mine goes from 6.15 (when I unplug it) to 15.00 draining 20% o so power... it's mostly idle, with occasional whatsapp and email, data always on. Then, from 15 i start using it pretty hard (an hour of wifi, installing/removing things from market, playing max payne and mc3 online, etc) and it can made through the day (in fact, I usually play a lot on bedtime, so i can drain the remaining battery (about 40, 30%) and recrage it overnight. I can't complain, mi milestone (AKA motorola droid) was lucky if it could make it the whole day Considering the massive display, the dual-core and the amount of ram (including the apps running in background) it's petty impressive

Yup that's screen on time. Idk it just seems like it could go longer but such is life. Lol
Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if I have an issue or not. I've already went through one G5 which was severely overheating and was giving me less than 2 hours of screen on time within the first week. I'm on my second G5 now and have had it a little over a week, but the screen on time seems to be dropping drastically. When I first got it, I have a SOT of 5+ hours. Then it got progressively worse until yesterday it barely made it to 3 hours and today it was under 3 hours. I'm a fairly heavy user, but it seems like I can literally watch the battery percentage tick by when I have the screen on. In fact, it seems like it's markedly worse when the battery is under 50%. For example, today at 50% I had a SOT of about 2 hours 15 minutes, and then for the last 50% it was like 45 minutes TOPS before it was drained. My standby time is absolutely amazing, with it losing less that 1% in five hours.
I just don't know what to do. I have 5 more days before I can exchange it no questions asked. I just see some people with 7+ hours SOT and it seems like mine is heading in the opposite direction.
Cheers,
Bloody
3-4hrs of SOT is average/normal
3 hours of SOT is on par, or very slightly subpar, with other users. Some, like me, get a bit more, but just because i do not use Facebook, or games. You should consider which apps you are using, if there's something always on and in "Sync" it's gonna eat up the battery a bit more. If you game a lot, same. That said, this is not a huge battery, but it should be big enough to get to bed. Can i suggest maybe (i know its obvious...but!) cleaning up the recent apps, taking more care in switching on and off the wifi...this kind of things could get you 30+min more in a day which could be enough to get trough the night.
To answer your question, you probably have not a defective unit. If this SOT time is not even close to what you need, the brightness of the screen poses a big problem for you, and you don't care as much for the awesome camera compartment, or the swappable battery, and you dont hate touchwiz, and you can return it no question asked, the s7edge has better battery time, and higher brightness and saturation.
I average 3 hr SOT. It's normal. Total 13.75 hours on average with 5.5 hrs active.
With the brightness about 30%, I could have about 4 to 5 hours browsing web with wifi...
12 hours of SOT is now a memory of a far away past.
I used to score 4-6 hours of SOT in heavy usage, and even 8-12 watching movies, messaging and web browsing.
But now I can barely reach the 4 hours mark, it usually stays between 2 hours (just gaming) and 4:30 (Netflix, web...)
Sometimes I don't really mind getting just a few hours of SOT, but it is really sad looking at the past and remembering that plenty of juice I could squeeze out of this device.
Did also your device got this battery capacity decay? If yes, did a battery replacement actually did something (are the batteries available on sites like AliExpress good enough)?.
Is it really a battery problem or is it a crappy Oreo battery management thing?
PS: I've been using this device for about 1 year and a half.

Visiting the Mi Service centre will be more easy and comfortable....they can give you original battery with replacement warranty of 6 months so....that will be more genuine
It I problem of Battery as it's been used for around 1.5 Year....only those who have newly bought Kenzo like around 6-7 months can say what Oreo battery management is like....it's good or bad....you can try switching ROMs....you will see that you get a extra 30-40 mins of battery n nothing more....which means it's the decay of battery but on the ROM problem...in
I've been experimenting on Oreo and while Doze mode works really well (1% loss by night) I feel that overall battery management is awful, especially when browsing YouTube for instance where I also get 4h SOT max.
I also got my RN3 about 2y ago and battery decay is important due to my heavy usage, with Accu battery I can say that I have no lost about 1/4 battery (3200mah MAX...) But that alone can't explain the SOT loss.
Too bad there isn't any service center in my country I could use a new battery at least for the 1h more that it could give me.

I also checked my estimated battery capacity, and it says 3100mAh (I don't think this is very accurate).
Xiaomi doesn't officially sell phones in my country anymore (they've only sold the Redmi 2).

It's definitely not the most accurate way to check, but based on several charges (more than 20%) I've never seen 4000mah
It's looks like battery degradation. The only way to really check it's swapping batteries. Did you use the stock charger?

yep, using the stock charger since i bought it.
I was wondering how the battery life of the note 10 evolves over time.
I've been using the phone as a daily driver over one year now.
And it took the battery almost exactly 1 year until I noticed a sudden degrade of the battery life. I made sure it's not some bad apps. It's rather the voltage dropping earlier now.
I've been using lineageos from the beginning, so I already used a pretty efficient rom that has no bloatwore or the like.
The first half year a full charged battery lasted at least 3 days, sometimes even 4 days (Like: having 75% battery after day 1, 50% at day 2, etc.) And I've been using my phone pretty much all day long.
last month (about the 1 year used mark) I noticed a degrade in battery life. I didn't change my ROM at that time. I was using the same ROM and apps on which the battery lasted 3-4 days before.
Then in just about a few days, the battery began to last 2 days at best. Now it's like having 50-60% battery after Day 1 and I'm going to charge the battery at least every 2nd day or even every day if I'm sure I need much battery the next day...
Now I wonder how this is going to develop over the next months.. will it get much worse? does it stagnate at this level? I'm already thinking of a replacement battery if it becomes much worse soon. But changing battery might be a risk so I'm still waiting.
What's your experience so far? How long and how much have you been using the phone and how has the battery evolved so far?
Can't really say I got the same experience, since I got the phone it would last 2 days and a half with light usage, and 1 day with heavy usage on Android 11 MIUI. And by light usage I mean using it more in the morning and at night, where screen brightness could stay low. Also keep in mind I had the phone for an entire year with this set-up.
But since I changed to LineageOS and Android 12 I noticed the phone barely last 2 days with light usage, it's draining faster while on usage, but in comparison screen off time seemed to greatly increase.
My issues with the battery life on the device seems to stem from the OLED Screen being more I guess susceptible from small amounts of sunlight? On my old LCD phone I could use the same brightness level for every indoor situation, while with the Redmi Note 10 I need to constantly readjust it throughout the day based on the room i'm in.
