Battery life?

Hi guys, I have a question about the xperia zr, how is the battery? gsmarena posted some impressive results, but how about in real life, can if get 5-6 hours of screen-on time? my gt-i8730 can do 6 hours normally, how does this act? thanks )

Yes.. for me it lasts for a long time screen on

• Battery Life Test •
------------------
-These tests depends on my own usage ,so it may differ depends on everyone's usage-
• Average Usage •
it lasts for 1 Day and 13 Hours with average usage
~4:30 Hrs Talk Time
~23 Hrs Wi-Fi On
~3 Hrs Screen On (Chatting ,Browsing and downloading)
• Heavy Usage •
it lasts for 10 Hours with continuous heavy usage on medium brightness with the auto enabled
~5 Hrs Screen On (Chatting and Browsing)
~8 Hrs Wi-Fi On (using it even when the screen is off)
~2 Hrs Talk Time

Yes it's very impressive!! Let's say, you can reach evening without any problems even with medium/heavy usage. With "medium/heavy" I mean if you turn on GPS for 20 minutes navigating, 24 hours of wifi/data switched on, 1 hour of browsing, and texting all the day. But the very impressive thing for me is that if you play 1 full hour with a heavy game such as riptide, the battery doesn't fall down, you will lose only a 6-8% of battery. I tested the battery with cyanogenmod 11 and stock 4.3, well, the stock firmware battery usage is better by far!!

how was the brightness set at during heavy usage? gsmarena said thst it was like 1/4 of full brightness when at half, like 140 nits or similar

I only get 4 h on wifi on with 50 % brightness
And 2:30h on 3G

I have seen a lot of complaints about the battery life on this phone, does it last at least like 4 hours of screen on time with 50+% internet + gaming? that's all i wanna know

I'm pretty sure you're guaranteed at least 6-7+ hours of general on-screen usage, assuming you don't have a thousand things forcing every CPU core to be at max load.
I bought the phone having read the gsmarena battery benchmark results for it, and I can say from experience that they don't come close (as in, worse). Same for the standby time on the phone is not what is stated by Sony/GSM but of course it's still a pretty amazing phone, for me I bought it for the supposed crazy good battery life (11:20 hours constant web browsing? I get half that) which isn't an improvement from my old phone so probably going to sell it.

If you want a good battery phone get the LG G2, lasts 6-7 hours hard use, my bro had it.
anyway, those are some pretty good numbers

gaming will drain the battery more quickly, but that's the normal for every device
but for internet usage it lasts with me for 10 Hours
~5 Hrs Screen On (Chatting and Browsing)
~8 Hrs WiFi On (using it even when the screen is off, downloading, VOIP..etc)
~2 Hrs Talk Time

I searched for your problem, here what i get :
The media server application indexes all your media on the phone.
Its common that if you transfer media files to your phone that the power consumption of the media server will go up but only for a short period of time. This is necessary, otherwise app's won't be able to find your newly imported media.
But in your case, since you seem to be having troubles with the media server app constantly consuming battery. I think that you may have a/or several corrupt media files in the phone or on your SD card. Causing the media server app to constantly trying to index files.
Just to do a quick test, try to copy all your important media and other files to your computer then delete them from your phone or do a format on your storage memories and check if you still experience this.
If you don't, the problem is as I suspected a broken or corrupt media file. The hard part is to figure out which one.
Source
And while searching i found some app that might fix your problem (it requires Root permission) , it's called Mediaserver Killer, get it on Google Play Store
i didn't test it but there is some positive feedbacks about it

Mediaserver is an apps running in background. So Check which apps you installed recently. Uninstall then.
Normally Utter, proximity sensor on/off, open mic+,. Wifi GPS seeking apps, This are just example. Find out.
I had same problem two month before. I don't remember exactly which app was causing problem but I unstalled some of them and got result.

Open your walkman app, and then on the right top, when you click that you see mediaserver there.

Screen Brightness kills battery more than you'd think

So the poor battery life on my Note 4 might have more to do with screen brightness than I would have expected. Unfortunately, most people posting their SOT's aren't doing it in a very scientific way, so it's hard to know what we should expect from these devices.
Here are my battery test results using PCMark for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuremark.pcmark.android.benchmark
In one test, I put the screen brightness to 100% and the results were pretty dismal. In the second test, I ran it at 50% brightness, which is brighter than the Note 2 at full and the results were much better.
I use Auto brightness during the day, which might explain my poor battery life, but I'd love to know what others score on PCMark are (it does run for 5+ hours!). I do keep my background BLACK, as well as using black themes on everything I can - for apps that only have white backgrounds, I use AutomateIt to invert the colors automatically. I would have thought these black backgrounds would do more, but it really comes down to brightness it seems.
I'm using an Exynos N910U model and left wifi connected while doing this test - 3 google accounts are synced on my device.

thanks for tests im using my exynos version on auto brightness and generally get 6 hours SOT. i saw on alot of people s stats and people who has problems generally has google play services on their battery usage list and it definetly shouldnt be at there... its probably about location reports to google every1 should disable it from location settings it doesnt break anything.

Yes, location can be an issue, but I think that impacts standby time more than SOT. Currently I've done the following to help with location-related issues:
- used lion tamer (soon to be called amplify) to slow down NLP wakelocks.
- set my location settings to powersave mode
- setup AutomateIt to turn on GPS when I'm in Google Maps (I'm usually plugged into the car outlet, so battery isn't a concern while navigating.
- Greenify stuff like Google search, Maps and several others.
I like and use Location Reporting, so disabling it outright isn't an option. My standby usage is very good at usually less than 1% an hour and my wakelocks keep my device awake usually less than 6%, but I'm still working to lower that number.

last night with 10 hours sleep time. with wifi connected sync was activated for 3 mails. i just lost 2% and i didnt do anything special like you did. no greenify no root nothing i couldnt even install wakelock detector cuz its broken on kitkat without root.
. i just disabled some useless stuff like samsung store etc.. everything else is working. and on my car i generally listen music over bluetooth

Lux could help

Before I started tweaking, I was getting around 6%-9% drain PER HOUR! Disabling stuff without root only got me so far, then the xposed tweaks and Titanium Backup had to be used.

like i said i dont know whats wrong for some people its probably something you installed(skype maybe) or mostly about location reporting. even last night i left my phone at 90% when i get it this morning after like 10 hours it was on 88% like i said earlier wifi was connected no power saving etc just normal idle time nothing special.

I was testing without any apps installed (just whatever I used to record battery consumption) and it was crazy high. Then I started adding accounts and apps, tweaking and I got my standby time to be much lower, but SOT leaves much to be desired. I'm going to try using the manual brightness and see if there are any differences - I often find auto brightness to be too bright or too dim! No "sweet spot" found! LOL

Greeny can also help but may need root

I'd suggest changing the settings for your Battery Monitor Widget app. AFAICS it polls every 10 minutes so a wakelock occurs every ten minutes to save the data. Use something like an hour and see what happens. Also would highly recommend BetterBatteryStats, a free version is available here for members.

I'll try that, although that might only improve wakelocks, not screen on time.
BBS never worked right for me. Always complaining that it couldn't retrieve the stats or falling back on something else.

Wait, with the screen off? Then you have something horribly wrong with your device. Mine did a few % over a night. With nothing done to the phone to conserve battery at all. Snapdragon, though. With the update.

I loose only 2% for 7h of standby last night.

We are seeing a trend I think, I noticed that it's mainly us 910U users or exnyos users complaining about battery life. So it must be something in the 910U rom?

I've got a 910F and I get 6 hours screen on time maximum :/

Doesn't happen now that I've rooted and applied my standard tweaks, but I tried a factory reset to see if I could correct the high standby drain and was not successful without these tweaks.

I have 910f and i got same issues with my batt.
i've tried clean system, root, custom rom. Battery is always draining higher than some people.
As i said in other thread: some people have an issue, some have great battery life. And nobody knows why

Maybe it's the guys who keep it stock and don't root, custom rom and "tweak" that get the good battery life.

Delete it pls.

Very disappointed in OP3t battery life. Not sure what to do.

I'm coming from a OnePlus One. Unfortunately, I can't find reliable BLP571 replacement batteries in the U.S., so I purchased a new OP3t.
On the OPO, I have been running custom MM and N-based ROMs. When the OPO (currently running Nougat 7.1.1 on TugaPower 2.1) is sitting around doing nothing, I typically see my idle battery current drain at around 9 uA to 14 uA and Wakelocks around 10%. Of course, when I turn the screen on, these jump up.
On the OP3t, I have tried running both OOS 3.5.4 and the new TugaPower 4.0 (which is based on Nougat 7.1.1). When the OP3t is supposedly doing nothing, I saw an idle current of around 85 mA on OOS 3.5.4, and around 35 mA on TugaPower. I didn't check the Wakelocks on OOS 3.5.4, but the Wakelocks on TugaPower are around 93% awake time (!!!!).
When I wake up in the morning, the OP3t is down to around 75% battery. For reference, my OPO used to be around 98% overnight when the battery was new. Even now, my ancient OPO with a nearly useless battery is around 85% for the same overnight time period.
What can I do?

3.5.4 actually has drain issues, try 3.5.3

Even after the annoying wake-locks and the random battery drain that just happens because why not... I still manage to get 5-6 hours of SOT, I have managed to push it till around 9 hours if I keep the Bluetooth and data off; with Greenify and using the aggressive doze it has helped but I don't get any notifications until I turn my screen back on.. Which is fine with me, as I get texts and calls. It's much better than the nexus 6 and the galaxy s4 which would struggle to even get 4 hours of on screen time. There are plenty of people raising issues about battery life on the OnePlus3T even though its probably much than your last device. XDA also has plenty of threads already created talking about the same subject.
Edit - I'm on the latest nougat update 4.0.1

the 3T or OOS doesnt have any drain or bad battery issues.
the problem is user/user-app based.
sort out the app which is causing the problem.

I just made a post to a similar thread. It seems the battery issue is hit or miss. At any rate, please check my post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70581453&postcount=9
Let me know if this helps you out. Look forward to feedback.

Greenify + ForceDoze = problem solved. I see 1% drained per hour at the very worst.

You stole my thunder.
Just kidding, but you're absolutely correct. I'm waiting to get my OP3T and then I will write a tutorial for users to help them out with the battery. Those 2 apps will be in my tut along with a few others that are helpful!

Weird, usually my phone, while idle of course, drains by 1% every 2 and a half to 3 hours. During use while im not playing games or anything im using pixel filter. Most time ive gotten is 9 hours 32 mins screen time. Im on 4.0.1 not rooted. Just uninstall apps u dont really need like amazon, youtube, facebook, tumblr and so on and use Firefox web browser. Firefox has background play for YouTube or any other audio source so you can stream music on Spotify soundcloud or whatever you want. I basically rely on Firefox for all internet things as if my phone were a PC. Saves time and battery because with 6gb ram my browser never slows down or reloads. Firefox is also really nice in the background consuming only 10mah every hour when not active or streaming audio. Cutting down ur app count will allow your device to doze longer, fetch less data and it certainly drains far less. Also if you're into this sort of thing, boot times are much quicker too.
Edit: sorry for the unedited massive paragraph here.
Another Edit: Make sure in case you want to use battery saver mode while streaming music to toggle Firefox to have unrestricted data usage in the data saver menu.

Check the link in my signature. My drain wasn't quite as bad but might help you figure it out. Good luck!

Thanks, guys! Greenify + ForceDoze seems to be helping a LOT! I'll need to let it run a few days to see the the real-world numbers.
I am having a problem adding apps to the ForceDoze Whitelist, though. Is that a known issue?

I've found that the whitelist appears blank until you add or remove an app, then the whole list will appear.

For me at times something appears to kick in in the background causing the CPU to spike and the phone to heat up. I can't figure out what it is though. When this isn't happening the battery drain is virtually zero and the phone flatlines overnight ,when it kicks in,the battery loses about 10% an hour on idle. I think there might be faulty drivers or something in the ROM causing this?! It's not apps as it happens to me on a completely debloated ROM with no apps. This is on Lineage and OOS. I've never seen this before on the phones I've had.

OOS 4.01 - I am experiencing exactly what you describe at 12%/hr and I have done literally all of the suggestions here. I have greenify, force doze, turned off location, disabled swift, did a factory reset and installed only 1 or 2 apps- and still I can watch battery drain with:
4 hours off charger and down to 44% with:
Kernel (android OS) 42.5%
Android System 33.7%
Google Play services 2.4%
Blah...Blah... (much smaller %'s)
What the heck could be causing this kind of drain? It seems to flatline when not in use for a while...
thoughts? Love the phone., but it is not usable like this....

Hello,
I usually use Greenify Paid Version + Amplify Paid Version but only in 6.X roms in 7.X Xposed isn´t released yet....
Do you recommend use Greenify + ForceDoze (I never heard about this app) even without Xposed?
Thanks in advance.

I am still struggling with battery performance on my new OP3t.
I am running TugaPower N10 (LineageOS 7.1.1) + Better Battery Stats + Battery Monitor Widget + ForceDoze + Greenify.
While my wakelocks seem to be pretty short now, my lowest average current drain is 35 mA. For reference, my old OnePlus One had a lowest average current drain of 7 mA, or about 5x more on the OP3t.
My battery meter reflects the higher drain.
I have the same apps installed, maybe even some less.
Looking for more assistance ...

I'm on 4.0.3 OOS and using Franco kernel, 2% drain during all night, 5 hours of screen on time and still 56% battery, check what is wrong with your apps, or move from Lineage to OOS, is simply better.
EDIT: I'm not using any app like ForceDoze or Greenify

I'm not dissapointed.

OnePlus 3T SOT only 4.5 ish hours

I have got my one plus 3t about 2 weeks ago. I have noticed that it's screen on time is never over 4.5 hours. I've read people saying their op3t SOT is over 6 hours.
Currently it's running oxygen OS 4.0.3 (Android 7.0)
I can't compare against the SOT in marshmallow because after I bought it I instantly upgraded to android 7.
I followed some steps suggested in several forums that should fix any battery drain issue such as wiping partition cache from recovery mode, clearing Google play service cache, turning on doze mode from DEV mode. It didn't get much better.
My usage pattern is mostly light to moderate. I use Facebook, fb messenger, aqua mail as default mail app, deezer for music. I am normally on my wifi most of the time. I turn on data for a small portion of the day. I turned of location service and Google location history. My screen brightness is set to about 20%.
Can you help me understand what's the underlying cause? It's not that I'm not happy with the battery performance. It lasts easily a whole day for me. But having more SOT would definitely be great.
Note: Unfortunately can't share my screenshot here as i'm new to this forum.

o.o you use Facebook and Facebook Messenger. To my knowledge they both encompass a whole lot of wakelocks that keep your device running after you put it to sleep. First thing would be to either greenify (if it will help) or delete both of those applications. I dont use em, but if you go to any battery saving thread on android most tell you to do something to keep those apps from running unless you want them to, instead of just, on, all the time doing meaningless things like holding the phone awake.

Without Facebook installed, only whatsapp and surfing, I am getting around 7,5 hours SOT. I'm on freedom os open beta, stock kernel.

on oos rooted with elemental x kernal, whatsapp snapchat and instagram only no facebook or anything like that, i am getting 6 hours screen on time with a bettery life 2.5-3 days 100% to 10%. Obviously i am not addicted to my phone the screen is on about 2 hours a day on average sometimes 3. I have no idea how much screen on time i could get in a single charge if i was a heavy user but i reckon it would be high based on the rest of this post.
Edit: For those on franco kernal i tried it and it was not even close to elemental ex i was get 1.5 days battery at best and that was with the battery profile enabled.

instead of using greenify, would it help if I use the Aggressive doze mode? It should put every background app (including Facebook and FB messenger) into hibernation). Shouldn't it?

instead of using greenify, would it help if I use the Aggressive doze mode? It should put every background app (including Facebook and FB messenger) into hibernation). Shouldn't it?

Greenify makes a massive difference. I was using naptime that puts aggressive doze on as soon as the screen is switch off and i was still getting more drain that i wanted (about 3 percent in standby).
Now people will tell me greenify doesnt make a difference, answer me this then. How do i have a screenshot of an 8 hour period over night where i lost 0.1% per hour.

Standby in night seems use less power than in day. I think the reason is that you don't wake your phone at all at night.

Why does everyone find this so hard to believe. At night i would lose 0.6% per hour. With greenify i lose 0.1%. Greenify makes a difference, simple.

No, I believe you man. I use Greenify too. Just saying a fact that I observed. I thought you're comparing the day time drain with night time drain.

Help please ;_;

Is this normal for a note 8? Settings = fhd+ no power saving mode, aod and edge lighting off. I know i m getting way low than i should get , I saw people getting atleast 4 + hours of screen on time everywhere

lowering quality and turning off aod/edge lightning will only save you a few minutes, you may as well have them on enjoy the features.
The SoT is user dependant, everyone uses there phone for different things and in different ways.
Also your phone has been on for over 20 hours, im sure you would get the same SoT as the rest if your phone was not sitting (screen off) running apps in the background for so long.
Having said that spotify is one of the things you have used in that 20 hours and judging by the %4 it used i'd say you were streaming a fair bit, that obviously does not add to your SoT but your still draining the battery. if you use your phone mostly idle while streaming music why does SoT matter?
No one can "help" you here i don't think, it is your usage habbits, this is what you get im afraid and from what i can see its not bad at all
my only tip would be if you dont use your phone turn it off instead of letting stuff like facebook eat away at your battery all day for when you actually do want to use it for Netflix or whatever :good:
Edit: Also your only at %25 still can get a couple hour SoT out of that :silly:

That's normal, that's how you receive instant updates from emails WhatsApp etc Facebook is an idle killer. You can either put the apps to sleep so there not active while idle or turn the phone off all together when you don't need it. Like I said I don't think there's anything wrong with your phone it's normal not for me but it's normal for you.

Samsung has one built in.
Go to Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery
click 'Save Power' that will put your apps to sleep.
Also you can scroll to the bottom of that page and press 'Always Sleeping Apps'
and you can add what apps you want to that list and they will never run in the background while the phone is asleep.
Alternatively you could use an app like Greenify.

You can try "greenify" at playstore, it is free, and a donation pkg that further enhaces its features
