I honestly thought that Android was better, when going away from iPhone last monday.... Have had 6 iphones during the last 5 years, NEVER had problems with battery because of GPS, WIFI or 3G being ON all the time...
I got the HTC One, setup all accounts, synced and transfered as much data i could from my iPhone and was finished the same day.
Charged the phone 100% and unplugged it, slept 7 hours and found out to my horror that 30% of the battery had vanished through the night !!!!!!
6-7 days later I kind of know what the real problem is.
- It's not the fact that Wifi, 3G or GPS is ON in the settings
- It's not the CPU that works all the time
- It's not because of syncronization
it all those f*cking WakeLocks !
Apps that wants to retrieve notifications,
Apps that wants to update my location using location services
Apps that want to access the internet and do updates...
WakeLocks as they are called...
Why the hell can't Android OS manage all these WakeLocks while sleeping / off / idle ?? it's mind boggling how bad Android OS is, compared to IOS, when it comes to managing background services and data connections.
Facebook, Google+, GoogleMaps, Music, News & Weather, BlinkFeed, Email... they all suck power ALL THE TIME ! unless you disable notification and interval updates...
Anyone else than me fighting WakeLocks to get better standby times ?
Anyone else that feels the same way - that Android kind of sucks at background services ?
After 7 days - i think i nailed all the power-suckers... i hope my 2nd week with an Android will be a better experience than my first (Phone in charger almost all the time)
ps. Why the F*** does this phone charge so slow ? 5 hours is ridiculous !!!

Nope, Android is awesome at managing background services because multitasking is what Android was built to do, whereas the iPhone was really built to do one thing at a time. Grant you, that one thing was really well executed but one thing at a time nonetheless. And yes, I'm aware that iOS5 added the ability to multitask, but it's not the same as you're experiencing.
By the way, we're going to define some terms here because they're different on Android and iOS. Android apps don't "retrieve notifications," they sync in the background. Every app that you download you can adjust it's sync times or what to sync. There are apps out there that can help automatically set your sync settings based on how you use the phone; for instance, there's one by Qualcomm called Snapdragon BatteryGuru. Another that's been highly recommended is Greenify. I'm more familiar with BatteryGuru, though. You can set it to turn off ALL APP SYNCs while the phone is idle/sleep, or even the data connection all together(although the HTC One has this feature enabled by default).
You need to adjust your battery life expectations as well. I had an iPhone 5 before I switched to the Droid DNA, then finally to the HTC One. I could easily get 16-24hrs out of my iPhone 5. Aside from the Droid RAZR MAXX, I've never gotten that out of an Android phone. I know they work differently, and I'm okay with that because I like how Android retrieves and displays my information(largely, in widgets like Blinkfeed) as opposed to having to open an app and wait for it to load. I'm pretty satisfied if I'm able to get 10-14hrs of usage time out of my Android phones. Your mileage may vary based on how you use the device, however. If you're not going to be able to come to terms with that, then I highly suggest you return to your iPhone or pick up an Android device with an enormous battery like the RAZR MAXX series or the Galaxy Note 2... or anything that has 3,000+mAH battery.
As for 5hr charge times: Are you charging with the OEM Charger or one from a carrier? I've gotten the fastest charges out of my AT&T branded charger and the HTC One's original charger. However, if I use a Samsung branded charger/cable and or a motorola charger/cable, much longer charging times.

The thing is... if you DO trim down all the WakeLocks, your HTC One will last just as long as the iPhone 4/5... although, you wont get as many notifications in the background and data wont get transfered while sleeping.
I'll check out the apps your mentioned - the abillity to specify when and how often programs are allowed to work while the phone is sleeping.
but doing nothing will simply drain the battery so fast that you might as well put a permanent charging cord into it !!
regarding charging: I've been using the HTC One charger that i got with it, as well as the large iPad charger and high powered USB ports, neither seems to charge faster than the other
This is a little trick for those talking about battery life that hasn't really been discussed anywhere.
On my old S5 I tried this out and got AMAZING battery life.
Standby time was around 14 days (phone on)
SOT test was well over 6 hours (running a youtube playlist .. known as the "high on android SOT test" - link http://highonandroid.com/highonandroid-sot-test/ )
..and it is all to do with syncing and apps
basic gist, factory reset .. don't setup your google or samsung account, just skip
install apps you want to use via apk's downloaded to your phone (or preferably transferred via usb from your pc)
don't use any apps that want to connect to the internet and sync in the backgorund (i.e. email, facebook, etc do all that via you phones browser e.g. chrome)
what this achieves is your phone isn't constantly pulling information from the net to either update your apps (via google play / samsung apps or just updating the information contained within the app e.g. emails)
battery life is staggering
sorry i don't have any pictures anymore of the battery life graphs as I sold the phone recently
but this is something to keep in mind, and for those who want to try it let me know how you go!
Ah ah ah..

And if you remove the battery too... and then send both the phone and the battery to separate countries on different continents, then oh my it'll last months.
OT: My battery life is poor I can barely get 1h sot, but I use note4 for productivity and internet and mail and etc, if I wanted a brick without any of those I'd buy a brick.

i'm pretty sure that your battery is dead
Good tips for those who want better battery life but I guess I'm okay with 1-1.5 day standby, 5 hour SoT, and apps being downloaded from Play and synced continuously and save huge amount of time and complication rather than installing apks one by one! Also the phone charges more or less fast too.
Hmm...!
I found the part about downloading APK and manually install them is rather ridiculous, not to mention unsafe. Wouldn't just turn on airplane mode all the time or at least turn off mobile data/wifi would yield similar result. Taking battery off is rather stupid, the phone wouldn't be standby. But I think if you want a Note (Android phone w/ stylus) and long battery life, I think you are better off using a Note 2 or Note 3, as they are not using 4K screen. And combined with large battery pack and turning off mobile data would be a big improvement w/o much sacrifice. As you can still get update to app and data via wifi. Not to mention if you are close enough to get wifi, you probably are nearby power outlet to charge your phone. Of course if you are in an area where both cell and wifi signal are unstable, then turn on airplane or completely turnoff the phone is ideal to save the battery life as the phone is not in constant of checking for better cell & wifi signal. Use common sense, people, not ridiculous strategy. I buy and use the phone/accessories to fit my life(style), not fit my life to make the phone stay on standby for 14 days.
But that's not all, if you order now we also remove all icons from the home screen, set a black wallpaper and completely disable the sound.
Isn't that amazing Mike?

Or you can do this, without loose anything.. Perhaps you wont have 16 days standby, but 10 you can make (if you are not using the phone), and you will still have a smartphone.
I have actually follow many things from there and see much much better battery..

I wouldn't be so sure about it, after a few factory resets on stock rom, it was still the same about 1 hour most. Now I decided to flash a clean stock rom using odin, so far have 1,5 hour with 45% left... I wonder if sd card could be the culprit... as I removed it before doing everything and didn't put it back in, or maybe it was some rogue nonsense in system as system UI was the biggest drain before, uptime for nearly 8 hours...
this isnt a tip
waste of time
like turn off all the functionality i WANT and USE, so my battery life is "amazing"
lol
do us a favour
save YOUR battery by turning your phone off
?
With note 4, you can permanently activate ultra saving mode and it wouldn't have the same effect?

ok, without gmail , facebook, game, email, instagram ... why i need a smart phone ??!!!!
Hello everybody,
I saw probably every review on youtube about this device but none of them can satisfy my questions.
Every phone that i had was great at the beginning, smooth, quick, good battery and no problem... But with the time, i used to install a lot of application, used a lot of memory (SD) and leave my phone always awake. This lead me to have, after few month, always my phone super slow and have an huge battery drain. i Tried custom rom, tried cyanogen, nothing changed (first flash than super slow)
Is this phone fast, stable and with good battery life even full filled with apps?
I dream to buy a phone and put my every stuff once, zero factory reset, zero grenify or amplify... only usability.
If some of you use the smatphone like me, please give some advices.
I would like to comparing it to iphone 7, cause is the smartphone that is more near to my requests.
Thanks guys for your time
Go for it! But keep in mind that every update should be followed by a factory reset. So you shouldn't update your phone for your habits. Cheers!

Every storage hardware suffers from this issue, its not phone related or OS related..
when the memory of the phone fills the software needs more time to do stuff on the device such as opening apps, transfering files, etc.. its same like when you have a closet filled with clothes, if you have 1 jacket in the closet its easy to find it, you see it first and you just take it but if your closet is filled up with bunch of clothes its harder to find that jacket and you need more time to find it and take it
Computers suffer from this too, HDD and SSD but HDD suffer more because they are slower so if you dont want this to happen you need to keep your phone clean, dont fill up the storage to max and keep unistalling apps you dont use, same as pictures and music...
maybe one day we invent something which wont suffer from this but until time you're in bad luck

Thanx for the answers but you didn't understood my question.
Of course memories slow down if filled, but a smartphone have to be used, if I have to keep it clean all the time it kill the usability.
background operations are the one that slow down mostly, this is why a smartphone with few apps is more quick. But powerful and well developed phones have to remains quick.
Im searching advises from the ones that use the smartphone hardly,so I can try to understand how it's op3 under real stress.
Thanks for the time.

I just switched from a Moto Z Play to this phone. I love this phone but the battery is crap in comparison. If you want a phone that will get you through the day NO MATTER WHAT, check out Moto Z Play. There IS performance trade off though. As there will always be.

The OP is talking about he likes to install a maximum number of apps and is having serious battery drain and asked if this phone is for him.
Based off what he is asking I'd have to say no. It may be the way *he* uses the phone as opposed to the phone itself. But, he is asking for HIMSELF, and not for you.
I am not really a "power" user who is on my phone all day, but I do use my phone a lot. I text a so-so amount, make a lot of 1 minute phone calls for work, play a game here or there and listen to Pandora or Play Music for about 4-5 hours. The phone does not last me all day. I get about 3-4 hours SOT when all is said and done. I don't even use apps like Facebook or Messenger although I do use Instagram....
This same usage pattern would yield me about 50-60% battery life on my Z Play at the end of the day, where as I can't get through the day without charging my 3T.
It isn't a knock on the phone. It just has a smaller battery and worse power management due to the Z Play's processor.
If the guy wants to come on here and say he loves to fill his phone up with apps and always encounters battery drain without analyzing his usage patterns and how he can improve them, why not suggest him a phone that will make it through the day even if he wants to install it full of apps and have it wakelock every minute?
You are correct, it's definitely not the phone, it's the user for sure

Those stat are awesome!
In my current phone im using greenify + amplify + sd maid, what did you do for reach that results?
I'm not against optimize the phone in order to have better stats, the problem is that every time you get a new sw release you have to do everything again...
I have arch linux in the ultrabook, i have configured it once. it is a rolling release OS so i don't need to do it again. In that situation I'm happy to do it, in fact i reached the same battery life of windows (even little more).
In android instead, every update i have to configure everything again... hoping that there aren't bugs or problems...
I'm against factory reset, cause it means wasting days for configurations...
Hi guys,
The main reason I moved from OnePlus 3T to this Moto X4 is for the great battery life. But ever since i bought the phone i am not running on good mileage. It is rather decent but battery percentage decreases quite a lot. Unable to find the right culprit for this.
Currently I have rooted and running Magisk and running on Oreo (Retin, XT1900-2 India).
It goes from 90 to about 15 percent in a day with decent Whatsapp, Facebook (app changed to Fella), and Messenger, and from time to time I use Google drive, watch little video clips (low quality from Whatsapp).
Screen time is about 3-4 hours, in the span of 24 hours. My home is situated in a half sort of signal zone (constant 4G network, no 3G or 2G, Jio network) and 90 percent of the time I use Wifi (ac/n).
In contrast I have a Xiaomi Redmi 5A (office use, costs 77 usd currently) runs for 3-4 days on a single charge!
In Magisk I tried the Google GMS core (i think thats the name) doze and it freezes my Whatsapp notifications and others, I need these notifications, so I disabled and am running normally.
Is there a particular thing that I can use or test or try out to find out what is going on in my phone? OR would you consider that this is usual for this phone?

Nope, it's not normal. With wifi usage I get 7.5 hrs SOT on average. When I am out of station, I use Jio sim for accessing internet. I also use gps and maps in such case and still manage to get 6 hrs of SOT.
Thanks for that confirmation. Looks like something would be wrong then with the hardware.
There's something really wrong with your x4.
I have more or less the same daily usage and in the end of the day I still have more than 50% of battery.
i'm not usung my phone heavy, but always on bluetooth, wifi, momile data and gps, checking facebook instagram and those others social media few times throu the day, sometimes pokemon go. and i have 4-5h on screen time. max 20h in total (android 7.1.1 reteu)
Moto display is culprit
This phone has bad battery life. My moto g5 plus last longer.
yes i can confirm this behaviour. i guess this is largely after the oreo update and even before the update i didn't like the battery life as much which was may be the case because i was coming from yu yunicorn with 4000 mAh battery. so i don't know may be it's the oreo update issue or may be it's only a few models like ours that are affected. either way i'm really concerned as i'm really in love with this phone and don't wanna get a new one any time soon... ?
IDK how much it helps but go into developer settings and disable mobile data always active. It was on by default after I updated to oreo
Wow. I just picked up this phone, X4, to take advantage of a Sprint special.... The 2 days I have had it, the battery has been horrible. I turned off Moto display so I'll see if that helps. Otherwise, I don't have Facebook or any other social media app. I have 1 hour 39 minutes of SOT today and I'm at 15% battery. I'm seeing reports the Oreo update is when this started. Hoping this can get fixed with Pie and soon!
Any tips or tricks would be great! Thanks.
Here is an overnight view on WiFi. So 14 minutes of SOT with Google play services using 35% battery. Any suggestions? This is really hard to believe. I'm likely going to try and return phone I guess.
Did you reset your phone or restore backup?
Hello. Yes, I did a factory reset at the end of day 1. I just turned off background activity for Google play services so hopefully that will help.
Hello,
I just ordered the S20 FE 5G at a pretty good price on Rakuten at 504 € in 128GB / 8GB RAM version. I just received it this morning. I unpack it but not yet turned on. The phone is 100% new, no damage, nothing to report at this time.
Nevertheless, I had a little disappointment when I saw the SIM drawer thinking it was 2SIM + SD Card and in fact it's your choice. Either 2 SIM or 1 SIM + 1 SD card. Anyway ... After doing several searches on the eSIM (since initially, I wanted to use my personal SIM + my pro SIM for work + the SD Card), I came across several concerns:
- Updates for Hong Kong models that seem to arrive last (least serious of all but annoying all the same)
- The flash of an XEF ROM which seems to be a problem
- May be instabilities in Samsung software such as Samsung Pay
- The eSIM which may never happen?
- Network antennas
That being said, do you think that it is still possible to switch it to an XEF version without bricking it?
And are there any SM-G7810 owners here?
Thank you !
I'm not complaining abouth this model so far. It's not buggy, performs well, battery life is great and updates do come as today with February patch. It did skip January. I came from LG and they only updated Europe version each 3 months. Chinese versions got over 4 months to 6 a update.
Hi,
Ok thanks for the feedback! If everything works fine, so much the better. My biggest concern is with the eSIM which I think probably won't be available for HK models ...

Let me get this straight - you would prefer faster updates, XEF software, no issues with Samsung Pay functionality, and the frequencies you use in France - so why did you buy the HK model again??
Hi,
For the price quite simply and the 2 GB of ram more for the S20 FE in HK version. However, I had not considered this kind of concern.
Otherwise I just started it and so far everything is working fine. The battery, however, is not the best ... A small disappointment at this level. Otherwise, everything else is really there!

Try turning 5G off. With 5G turned off, the battery life on the Snapdragon models is excellent.
Thanks for your return,
I had already done this seen that I do not have a 5G package yet but no visible difference. Today, for example, I used it to research the internet for over an hour and reply to messages. I went from 80% (this morning at 6.30am) to 44% at the time of writing this message (3.15pm).
I don't know if it's normal but it seems weird to me ...

No, that doesn't sound normal - but the phone will improve over time as it puts unused apps to sleep, etc. Look at your battery usage to see what is causing the most drain. You should be getting at least 4 hours of screen-on time from a full charge. Cell signal can cause battery life to vary widely in my experience, but even then, this phone should get excellent battery life.
Ok, thanks a lot for the information.
It's been 4 days since I started it but the analysis program of my habits is not yet finished.
Having said that, I haven't done a full charge yet. I only did 40% to 80% small charges to better preserve the battery as I know full charges damage the battery. Maybe I should do one now?
Hi,
I come back to the news. The phone has finished studying my battery usage. It tells me that my battery can last 1 day and 3 hours. A little weak, right?
Especially since I don't play any games. I just use social media / Apple Music / and small calls every now and then. In short, a very common use.
disable google chrome if you don't use it. I've never even opened it and I've disabled it twice (after updates) and it still has two instances of high battery drain.
Hi and thank you for your reply!
I take note of it but it's a bit annoying as this is the browser that I mainly use.
go outside your comfort zone for one week, try another browser and see if it makes a difference.
My sm- g7810 get 6h screen on time with still 30procent left today.Battery is set at maximum performance and 120hz refresh and I don't use auto optimalisation battery, I restart my device just once a day and that's it.
I debloat most useless apps like chrome and social media I don't use. Also standard mail and Google mail and and exchange service I dumbed because they could cause drain. I use my mail and use opera browser that's much better. I have zero complaints of this phone. Maybe u use optimize battery frequently so could drain your battery faster
Hi ! Thanks for the information.
Personally, I did 5 hours of screen yesterday. I started at 90% when I woke up in the morning and I was at 30% around 11pm. On the other hand I am in normal mode, I did not put the performances in maximum mode. I will also try not to use Chrome because I see that it is indeed greedy. Although from what I could see the most greedy are Apple Music and Messenger. The problem is that Messenger, I cannot put it to sleep otherwise I will not receive notifications.
If not, do you think my battery is intact there or should it last longer?

Don't worry to much, everything thing that stream like apple music is a battery eater.I depends on every user how much it affect battery life tru the day. Now I did 5h 11min with 25 procent left. You can't expect the same results

Your battery is fine. Try playing around with some of your settings to see if it makes any difference. For example, although I have two SIMs installed, I'm not currently using the second one, so I turned it off. This seems to have helped a lot. Also, 'Double Tap to Wake' etc., drains battery, so make sure your phone is set up as you like/need it (and nothing more) - then stop worrying about it.
Hi,
Thanks to you for these answers.
This reassures me about the life of my battery!
