Package disabler pro got nothing to do with battery life. Find out which app runs in the background and keeeps your phone awake.

Knock on wood bro, I wish i can have that rate of drainage during standby, im loosing around 30% during the exact same period!!!

Not enough information to answer. Wifi connection? weak or strong signal? How is the phone mobile signal strength? What is the phone doing in the background? Email accounts? facebook or other social stuff? What do you have installed that might bring up any type of notification?
I'm usually happy with 1% or less battery loss an hour while on WiFi with a moderate to strong wireless signal (and strong wifi signal.) with only google plus, and 4 email accounts (2x exchange/activesync, 2x gmail) set for push.
I also have a few different things that use google cloud messaging for pushing notifications.

Actually I am abroad so I am on airplane mode only wifi enable(always awake on )
And no special apps installed ( adguard and usual stuff)
Thanks

That's less than 1% per hour, which is pretty damn good.

Exactly. I don't understand why people think that app is the Holy Grail and will magically give them better battery life and performance lol. Battery life has everything to do with what is running and syncing in the background. Not about bloat or lack thereof.

This is the best you can expect from the Note5 I think. Mine is around that. And Package Disabler Pro definitely helps with battery life

For me, 5% drain in 7 hours sleeping is not ok. My note 5, the truth is, normally 3% drain at most in 8 hours sleeping with no chat message notifications.
If the chat message notifications keep sending on my note 5, normally 5%-6% drain in 8 hours sleeping.

I get 4-5% drain over 7-8 hours over night. I'm on stock

5% IS ok. Just because you can get it down to 3% doesn't mean 5 isn't good. A lot of factors including signal strength can affect this greatly so it's impossible to generalize. As a rule of thumb though if it's draining 5% in 7-8 hours that's good by Android standards.

Battery drain when idle?

What type of drain are people getting while phone is not in use?
Last night I dropped from 64% to 54% in 9 hours, despite the fact that better battery stats showed 97% deep sleep for the time period. Seems bad to me. On lots of other phones, overnight drain is in the 2 - 5% range.
Yes, active notifications are disabled while I sleep. I don't even have touchless control set up yet, so it can't be that. I have the same few location services turned on that I always do, and like I said, I usually see 2-5% overnight on other phones, not 10%.
Anybody else?
PS for those of you who want to say who cares, I did this test because I was noticing faster than usual idle drain during the day, too, but sleeping is the best time to get a long chuck of idle time.
Edit: could it be because the phone always has those sensors on waiting to to see if the phone moves to light up the time? Or the double twist for camera sensor always being on?

Get "Better battery stats" or a similar app to see what is running during idle. But to be fair that is just over 1% an hour.....that is not awful whatsoever. The only way you could get any better would be to disable any wifi/data, and those location services.....OR just turn the phone off completely. I've had phones that have had way higher drain on idle than 1.5%.

Like I said in my op, better battery stats showed 97% deep sleep in that time period overnight. And most of my other phones have lost only half as much or so overnight.

Please, X Perf battery performance on Nougat?

Im seriously considering buying this device as it is quite good priced now and it ticks all my needs.
But I dont know what to think of batterlife in day to day usage. Some say its perfectly fine, some say not....
I considered X too, which is good enough on battery for me, with Nougat updated.
How is X Performance after Nougat update?
Any better?
Please share some insights.
Like: percentage used after 1hr videoplay, and after 1hr browsing, and 1hr playing.
Im coming from Z1c with kitkat, which battery performance im quite satisfied ( 6-8hr SoT) and Im affraid to make a wrong choice going for X Performance instead of X, concerning batterylife.
My usage routine is Stamina on, background data off, and no battery drainig social or other apps.
Would like some help in deciding....
This info would be nice to have, as I'm in the same boat as you. I've heard good things about Z5 battery life with Nougat, though...
I get about the same as on my z3

That would be superb.
Is your rooted or not?
And please some more info, your usage pattern, aproximate Screen on Time?
I get a little less usage out of this device per charge than I did from my Z3. With my Z3, I was getting 2 days easily. With the X Performance, I can get anywhere from 1.5 to 2 days depending on whether or not Google Play Services decides to keep my device awake. I use my phone very liberally throughout the day: light browsing, some Reddit, occasional calls (maybe a half hour each day), etc. I found the Nougat update made the battery life a lot better on the X Performance. I don't have any solid stats for screen on time but I think I get anywhere from 2-2.5hrs over the two days.
Thanks a lot. .
So how about your SoT after battery goes below 10%. What does it say under batteryusage, screen, how much hr of usage?
I'm just charging my phone now, so I'll let it run down and I'll report my SoT when it's around 10%
I'm at 22% right now with 1:16 SoT. This was not the greatest run because Google Play Services used up 13% of my battery. Generally, I get around 2:00 SoT over two days and Phone Idle takes up the most battery. If I see my battery draining quicker than I'm used to, I'll reboot my device and that stops Google Play Services from wasting more battery. I'm really hoping this issue will be fixed in a future update. Hope this helps!

Oh man, you are indeed a different pattern user than me.
1:15 hr SOT while your screen says 11%.....deriving from that its good.
But that idle and google play services percentage is bad.
I m using with background data off, just in intervals, and Stamina on, and location info off. I believe it ll get much better endurance in idle that way. But I also leave active the few apps I want, like Viber in battery stamina settings.
Try playing with those settings to get some better idle time.
Thanks a lot.
Just as a follow up: I heavily used my phone last night and I'm at 1:20 SoT (15 hours off the charger) with 70% battery left. Depending on your usage, you'll see much different SoT times
Thanks, that should be 15% used by Screen(should read 50% in stats), and about 15% system, google and idle in those 15hr( altogether 50% in stats).
Well, thats about 6.5hr SOT by batterytests....
Which is not bad at all.
About Same as my Z1c....
Im satisfied with that, although batteryendurance will not be an improvement over my z1c, everything else will....
Thanks alot again, I ll order it....
its about 400€+ VAT now, which is a good price for that device.

Just a surplus note:
My measurments of Z1c being about the same are with background data on.
With background data off I get 70% used by screen on half brightness.
And Much less % used in idle and android system (15%).
Which translates to about 12% battery for 1hr SoT....(surfing).
Gets easily about 8 hr SoT overall.
So X Performance should be about the same also with background data off.
Last barely 12hours to me, not much music and gaming
Just as I measjred, getting 6-7 hr SoT with my usage pattern. Its good.
Wonderful device btw. ?

Horrible battery life

I have read awesome stuff about this device's battery life and SOT, but I barely get 3.5 to 4 hours of SOT. Does anyone have a possible solution? This is ironic considering my previous crappy lenovo phone would give me 6-7 hours of SOT. Any battery saving kernel or ROM would also be appreciated, as I have unlocked bootloader and am running stock oos (latest open beta) rooted with magisk. Please advice, as if this is a hardware problem then I will return it ASAP.
Unfortunately, this thread has been made many times. No matter how specific your case is you have to analyze your usage.
But, if you need you can make yourself a quick checklist.
Whats apps are installed?
What do you do with your phone?
How many things do you sync?
How often do you game?
Do you have social media apps installed? Instagram, facebook, snapchat etc
What browser do you use?
And where did you read 7 hours SoT?
The reason being for people posting that they get 7-8 hours SoT is because those people use their phone all the time. If you look at their screenshots their idle time is non existent. With my phone that i've done a custom debloating and removed system apps that are worthless battery hogs, I get about 5 hours SoT. I leave my phone idle a lot. Idle still drains battery. If you use your phone on and off through the day, 5 hours SoT is really good. Thats what you should expect. If you get 3-4 hours SoT with normal usage patterns then you have an issue. Id say for every hour of idle time expect to lose perhaps 5 minutes of SoT. Your phone is technically a computer, its doing things constantly so it is never truly idle.
Go OOS 3.5.4. Greenify all apps Plus Play services, have xposed and install amplify to control wakelocks. Use L Speed, Keep data/wifi on only when using.
Why are you guys so obsessed with SoT? I usually get 4-5 hours with one day and half usage and at least 2 hours of Bluetooth + Spotify. As previously stated, the battery life varies on usage. Just take a look on possible wake locks if battery stats are weird. Stop focus on trying to beat the SoT world record and actually start to enjoy your phone as the beast it is
Just use Betterbatterystats and u will find the culprit.
Sent from my m1 note using Tapatalk
3.5 hours is below average so there is some app which is draining your battery but around 4.5 hours / 5.5 hours sot is normal and average battery life, if you see those people which post pics with over 8 hours of sot they are lying and are faking the results, trust me so dont bother with it..
Install betterybatterystats and see which app is draining ur battery and unistall it or use greenify on it

CLT-L29 battery performance

Hello,
I've just bought a dual sim P20 Pro a couple of days ago and I am unhappy with the battery.
With moderate use like some Chrome browsing, some sms, calls and a bit of facebook I am getting only about of 26 hours life from 95% to 18-20%. I am only using one sim with LTE network.
Two times I've had a sudden drop from 96 to 91 percent and usually when screen is online I can observe percents dropping one by one in a matter of minutes.
If SOT is like 5-10min it is always 1%, if more than more. Could you please give me advice or share your experiencies?
I've read some reviews than phone is like a monster with battery lasting 2 full days with heavy use. So i would be glad to hear your opinions.
Authorised service centre haven't found any problems when I delivered the phone to them.
Thanks in advance!

No phone will last 2 full days with heavy use, if heavy use includes calls etc, no matter what they say. Download battery app and check for wakelocks. Probably some app keeping phone awake. Edit.. Try this https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw3cuTBnY1K_02fdd-kpZpug
Go to Settings -> Battery -> Battery Usage and check what drains your battery. Usually it's bad cellular network reception (you will see more "Cell standby") or some app.
I charge my phone every ~36 hours, but I'm not really a heavy user.
Just a note - AOD (always-on-display) does drain your battery (yes, OLED display, black colours, bla-bla-bla, just test yourself), so if you want it enabled (because it's convenient, I use it too) keep your phone face down on your desk/bedside when you don't need it.
You are not alone as i have the same issue but mine drains overnight. I guess warranty will fix it?
Mines been mostly positive from the off, coming from a Oneplus 5 this phone had a lot to live up to.
Honestly it really depends on what you have installed and what your reception is like, remove your SIM and see how your battery lasts then, it's quite the difference.
Seeing as no one would do that and you won't be able to move your cell towers then it's apps.
I can't speak for Pie as i did not want to install it until there were some decent roms available and maybe a working TWRP.
This is the thread i made on the oneplus 5 showing where i was able to achieve 14 hours 30 mins whilst at home and a leaderboard showing other peoples longest SOT times with proof.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/screen-time-leaderboard-post-longest-sot-t3780178
Similar situation on my p20 pro but the SOT was 17 hours + over a weekend, so Friday - Sunday on 1 charge.
Average around 8-10 hours, 1 and a half days give or take/.
So depending on your usage / location / signal / apps it is more than possible to get ridiculous battery life and longevity.
Personally i'd say do the following:
Don't charge overnight (contrary to common belief, this does have an impact over time)
Leave sync on (maintaining synchronization uses less battery than a big sync)
Check your apps, Facebook / Snapchat / Viber, they're all hogs, use the web version of FB and stick with whatsapp, it's more efficient.
Remove any apps you aren't using.
Avoid any apps with ads on if there's a paid for variant.
As @purple patch has said, use BBS to diagnose if any apps are keeping the device from sleeping.
That's pretty much all i do.
Hope this helps.
I am wondering how are you guys getting this top performance. For me it is like a typical situation: 26 hours after charging to 93%, 22% charge now, 4 hours SOT.
Cell signal is good, using Facebook and Messenger a lot.
But let's see I will try your reccomendations. Thanks.

Facebook and messenger are major hogs, use the web version of facebook and you'll see a benfit.
Facebook harvest so much info it's insane, tbh i uninstalled my FB and deleted my account, got to be honest the only thing i miss are the little funny videos that people post.
Beyond that i'm glad to be rid of it.

Question Improving battery life

Help everybody,
I've bought the phone 3 days ago. Battery life is very bad, getting around 3 hrs SOT using Spotify, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram. Mobile data is always on, Bluetooth was on for 2 hours
Is there any way to improve battery life?

Ne Firmware should make things even better
I would try recalibrating the battery, I have found that it lasts very long after hitting 1%, and others have also found that the phone continues charging for a bit after hitting 100% (even with the LED being green). So completely drain the phone, let it charge to 100% and when it hits 100%, give it like half an hour more.
Also, disabling 5G in the Network settings should help. If you are underground (with bad cell signal), I would suggest you enable Airplane mode and then enable Wifi. This will prevent the phone from constantly searching for a better cell signal. Doing this helped me reduce idle drain.
Last night with a few videos + today, I got a total of 3h40 at 120hz durable mode (Charge limit to 90% and the phone is still at 15% battery left).

I got it via OTA.
Also you probably need to set up other (was tired yesterday evening):
dynamic mode
5g off
90 Hz Display (I don't really see the difference between 90/120)
Wifi, BT, location always on
I get around 7 h of SOT fully charged and 5 hours brings me from bed to bed.
Yeah 5g off makes a lot of difference to me. I also use Naptime.
I see a big change with location off. Just put it on qith quick toggle when needed. The standby is much much better with just this change for me. I have 5G because my plan doesn't allow it either way.
As others said, it's about 5-6 SoT, normal use on its stock Asus Android OS.
After installing LineageOS on now I got 8+ SoT.
Due to the clean LineageOS, 60Hz screen refreah rate, battery saver always on, no google spying services installed, 100% google free,no blotware, no whatsapp no facebook...
Phone now lasts me comfortably a full day of work (sometimes day and half).
I use it for work not as my playstation.
I'm super happy.
Btw, your post is duplicate with other post, That post has other feedbacks that may help you, better to stick to that post.
