Google did a good job with Stanby drain. I'm getting 0.7-1.0 % drain per hour.
The first few days battery life was horrible. While it's improved, I do question WTF is going on with it. I've had screen on time less than 20 minutes today and it's at 88%. Granted I'm playing pokeymon go for half that but still. My Pixel 3 was better.
After having it for a week the battery has improved significantly for me. Under light usage (social media, few YouTube videos etc) I'm at half battery 22 hours since last full charge.
It's pretty amazing considering the battery size. Plus they will probably improve it more with firmware updates
How's everyone's battery? I'm in a s10+ now but wanna possibly go back to a pixel. I want a smaller phone but can't decide between the 4 or the xl cuz of battery
For me it has been terrible, worse than my Moto Z2 Force with the same battery capacity and a 2 year old processor, even worse, the phone is actually slower in day to day apps except games. It also keeps less apps in memory against my European Z2 Force running Android 9 Pie and 6GB of RAM. Only got 3 hours of screen on time and had to charge at 7PM from 8AM.
I'm sending it back in the morning.

Honestly I think the AOD barely effects it. I have AOD on and after being off the charger for 3 hours with light use, a few texts and checking email, I've only gone down 1%.
HI All,
I have had my G6 since this Friday that pasted. I haven't had a phone this good for a long time. I previous owned a LG V10 and this phone just out performs all my other phones. Its fast has a battery life that i have very pleased with. So far I have played games most of the day and i make it home with about 20%. If i charge my phone while driving I have about 60% when i get home. I purchased Three anker USB C cables, they seem good but its a very snug fit.
I also have yoo tech glass on the phone which was a awesome deal.
I am using Spigen LG g6 Tough Armor its very small but strong.
sometimes on los 14.1 fastcharge isn't working. Else super fast.
endurance with los could be better
What is the longest standby time anyone has got from a full charge with light use? My max is just over 47 hours with very little use but I have some standby drain issues. Has anyone had this phone off the charger for 72 hours or more?
On light use honestly i get 6-8h of SoT and yeah i am not kiding.
Easily lasts me the whole day, although the drain can be variable even with seemingly the same usage pattern. But even under the worst scenario I am left at the end of a day with 30-40% left. So I charge every night-- what else can you ask for?
I'm easily getting 7:30am to 9pm with light to moderate use throughout the day and have 30% left.
With my daily moderate-to-heavy usage, I'm consistently getting at least 4-5 hours SoT with always-on display enabled and my brightness around 50%. Gets me through the day just fine. I usually get home with 20-30% remaining. If I use my device lightly, I could probably get at least 5-6 hours SoT.
I made it to 6hrs SoT today. I had music playing from Spotify in the background the entire day.

I'm a pretty light user in general. I also keep my non-essential radios off until I decide to use them, I don't do updates until the phone is charging, I close apps after I'm finished with them, and I usually run the phone all the way down, and don't leave it on the charger much past 100% . My batteries usually last much longer than for most people I know, and I charge much less frequently than most people. My last phone was an LG G4, and I usually got 3 to 3.5 days per charge. It also had a 3000 mah battery. After I topped off the phone from new, I had to take it back to Sprint to get it back on the network. They wiped it, so on battery power it redid the setup, and then re-installed all of the apps, contacts, etc, then updated everything, then I continued to reconfigure the phone. Pretty intense usage for about 6 hours, and that brought it down to 50%! I then activated more apps as I used them, did some searches for a better camera app , as well as my regular usage, and got a full 48 hours out of the thing, using power saver starting at about 10%. Did the first recharge, and with my normal usage, it was at 49% at 48 hours. In the past, I have used Juice Defender to help with battery drain, but it keeps crashing on the Essential, so it's not even on, and my longevity is really impressive. Can't wait to see what happens when we get Oreo. Very pleased with the battery performance, to say the least.

Currently my phone is showing me are remaining battery life period of three days at this point of 74% charge but I definitely know that it is not three days but still it is a very good standby after 2 days with this massive 5000 mAH battery , You can expect this kind of life definitely
Easily 8plus hrs sot on light usage
Kinda 10 % per hour drain
Insane
is a one word. I think I can do better though.
This is my light usage. Actually forgot to take other parts' screenshots but you can also check my other messages on "screen on time" thread. My SoT record was 16.5 h and this was my phone idle record.
Conservative user. PixyOS(05.feb)+Minimal Gapps+Darkberry V8
11 days standby with SOT of 10h. And yes I actually do use the phone. Everything disabled when not in use. Mainly 4G browsing, phone calls, music
I am about to buy The Max Pro M1 as a secondary phone only for gaming, watching youtube and email. However, I'd heard that there are some idle draining issues. Is it fixed already ?
Big thank.
On light usage at least 3 days without charge and 11-12 hours of SOT.
Easily lasts a day with full day data on and full night gaming upto 2 am. I rarely use charger before 2 am. I think they did a pretty good job on that one.

Battery Life Below expectation
Even under normal usage, the battery life performance is pretty much below expectation. Initially due the finger print sensor problem, the drastic drop of battery reserves really making me mad. But even after the latest Nov update by solving the CPU max out, the battery still not much improved.
Well I have to say that I am totally not disappointed. Recently got 6 hours Screen on time with 1 complete day usage and still 23 percent to spare. Working exceptionally well considering SD 660 and 3000 mah battery
i get about 4h of sot and charge it just every other day.

Did November update really fixed the CPU max out problem
i still having the clock speeds of 1.1ghz-2.2ghz
It must be near 300 or 400 mhz at minimum
Well all i can say is the battery life is really bad, its getting worse with the combination of such tiny battery and cpu issue. Just keep away from this MIA2 if you are heavy user or expecting good battery life.

Seems like you haven't updated to Pie.
Not yet officially launch pie update at countries out of India. No expectation any improvement after pie update.
Great battery life.
Had my Mi A2 about 2 weeks now. (A week before Xiaomi announced they were coming to the UK) I am finding the battery life fantastic. I would say I'm a light/mid weight user. I am easily getting a full days use out of it no problems at all. Often there will be 40/50% left at the end of the day.
Screen is turned down to about 30% which is more than bright enough for me. We shall see what Pie brings and also what adaptive brightness down.
I am very happy with it so far, only annoyance is the proximity sensor I keep activating the pull down menu when on the phone.

I don't use it that much and I can't stay all day.

I might be tripping but my Note9 Doesn't last as long as my OP6. I run the same apps and similar settings and my note last me about 5-6 hours my OP6 Last 6-7 hours. All this with heavy usage and the OP has a lower battery capacity.
I feel like heavy use and light use consumption is around the same and get 5-6 hours SOT regardless. Browsing and using the Samsung Music app seems to drain around 1% every 5 minutes. I was expecting the battery to drain a lot faster with games but it's more subtle than I thought. Yesterday I didn't game much but used S-pen to take notes, and got 6 hours 21 minutes SOT with 6% left, within 10 hours of total usage (resolution was QHD+ most of the day). Today with some heavy gaming (Real Racing forced to QHD resolution with Game Tuner, as well as Bowling by Jason Belmonte, Alto's Odyssey) I got around 5:48 SOT in 11 hours 25 minutes (started to reduce the resolution to FHD+ around 30%).
I'm going to kill the battery in my Note 9, eventually. It's my daily workhorse. Multiple Gmail accounts, work email, continuous use throughout the day, 3 games that I check upon every hour and a half... Should last about a year by my estimate. Oh well. Phones come and go...
Heavy use endurance is okay in this phone but light usage endurance is not good. You lose %15 in a hour just by 9gag browsing.

Sadly, samsung put a lot of effort for this not to happen. Right now it's not really possible outside of a friend that don't play fortnite and lend you his phone to login with your account and play atleast 3 full matches.
I find camera and SoundHound to drain a lot. I can barely break 4.5-5h SOT if I use the camera for over 50 minutes. The other day I was trying to see if SoundHound could identify songs from my bad singing while wireless charging and the percentage actually went down.

IMHO, the fortnite skin you get is garbage. Should have given in game money instead. Or at least pub g. I play both on my N9 with the latter getting more SOT
Recently got my Note 9 a week ago and battery has been about average as compared to my last phone. I can last 5-6 hrs of heavy use and 7 for light use. Mind you my last phone was the Galaxy A7 (2017) and battery on that thing is nuts. 7 on a heavy and 8-9 in light use. Might probably due to I game more on my note rather than my last phone.
Off topic question, was playing ragnarok mobile on my note while fast charging when I suddenly fell asleep. Woke up 4 hours later game was still on and the battery is now at 83%. Will this massively damage the battery of my phone?

Fast charging works up till 80% then it will switch to normal charging (and the 80-100% are always different charging method that is slower + better for the battery longevity). You are fine, nothing will change about your battery health. I would be more concerned about burn-ins/burn-outs, but you played most likely at lower brightness and surely not in overdrive mode = you will be just fine too.
Edit: also I forgot to mention that samsungs don't fast charge when the screen is on, only when the screen is off = it charged slowly normally and that's why it reached only to 83% (as because of the battery use, the actual + in the charge was lower than the 2A in normal charge/~500-1A in the last 20%). All good, as I said, don't worry.

Note 9 has a big and brighter screen and a lot of bells and whistles
I guess that makes sense. The bigger brighter screen could be the culprit.
I can go a day (8am to 12pm) of moderate-heavy use with some battery left over. I'm taking 5-6 hours of SOT (WhatsApp, Internet, RadioPlayer Canada, Google Maps, Twitter, Fallout Shelter). This is despite the phone not being entirely optimized for battery life besides using the Device Maintenance feature (I have wifi and data on, bluetooth, location, high resolution, automatic brightness).
The battery actually kind of sucked when I first got it lol. But it randomly improved a lot.
My SoT with heavy usage is just amazing 6-7 hours without a problem!
Has anyone used the dual sim always active feature? Im assuming it drains battery far faster, especially with extended use
ok here is the deal. games will drain the battery less than previous phones do to more efficent cpu.
however anything else didnt change at all or got even worse.
any wireless connection, sensors, screen (even worse), will be the same as in any other phone. so this is where the battery kicks in and gives us a bit more leway. yet it ahs to compensate for the insane screen. so our SOTs are pretty good.
biggest issue is google and google services as usual. with their insane collection of data we litereally pay for them collecting our data. and thats not just a little bit, its over 1000 datapoints an hour.
that was the main reason i wanted to switch to apple, but after a day in hell i gave up on the fruit ****show. way to many compromises.
however at the end of the day what really kilsl the battery is energy for the screen itself and all kind of data connections.
the cpu cycles are laughable for most games, those cpus are powerhouses, almost PC level
so turn of wlan, turn of gps whereever you dont need it, same for bluetooth, cut down on syncing services as much you can this helps a lot.
also gmail is aweful in their push services. i tossed it out, i run exchange active sync and its fine

How's your screen after the 22 hour marathon? Any screen burn in? Ghosting? What brightness do you keep it at?
