Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the LG V10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I'll leave this here..
Edit. Auto brightness under Florida Sun. Facebook, ebay and reading posting on xda.
Details: Not rooted, bootloader locked, wifi off, sync auto on, 2nd screen stock, location on, LTE on T-mobile, vibration strength stick, vibration with sound, vibration type rapid, vibrate on tap, sound effects dialpad sounds rest off, wifi calling on

Brightness set at 20%, no Auto brightness, 2nd screen on the whole time, Verizon 4G LTE the entire time (no wifi)

Screen on time is a failed meter for battery life.. I can run navigation on all day and have the screen off. I will show less screen time no matter what.. Same goes if you're listening to music while the screen sleeps.. Anyway the avg Lg phone with this battery gets you about 2.5-4.5 hrs of screen time depending on your usage. Same as G3 and 4.. Lg has excellent standby time, but horrible screen time. If you actually use your phone, these will be your results.. I go into different lighting every few minutes so I have to adjust my brightness. No way you can keep it on one setting all day unless you're not going anywhere..ever..

thats my analysis. I thought going from the g3 to LG v10 would give that galaxy note 5 or s6 edge life...nope. still averaging about 2.5 to 3.5 total use is around 7-9.

BeameD From My LG V10... The one with the ALWAYS ON SCREEN... Watching me.. ?

I am getting around 5 hours of sot time.

5h 48min sot with 15h30 overall on the battery...beast!!!!

do you have GPS, Auto-Sync, Location on or off, and the second screen. That would help us determine what's best

I'm getting 3.25 to 4.0 SOT with about 10-11hrs battery usage. GPS off, Screen on auto, location off, sync off and I turn sync on once a hour. I'm rooted

:silly:

I forgot to screenshot it but I got 20hrs +3hrs SOT bluetooth,location,sync and autobrightness on yesterday. VERY impressed coming from the Note 4, was rooted and bloat free.

Stock barely 3 days old

Results seem good, at least matching the Note 5's. But honestly the G2 still smokes all of these results. I got 19h of use with 1h45m of SOT yesterday... and 74% remaining. Not even kidding. And not even rooted, 5.0.2 stock.

3 hours SOT
I have BT on, wifi on, location on and auto brightness on. Volte is off. I have 2 sim cards installed. My phone is not rooted.
I will get about 3 hours SOT and about 15 hours battery life per day.
I needed to install Greenify to get these results. Before Greenify I was barely getting 8 hours, which was a little depressing.
I do carry a spare battery though, but I would expect a little more than 8 hours from a 3000mah battery.
Right now battery life is mostly on par with my previous Note4. I didn't use need to use Greenify on the Note4 though. I had the same features turned on with the N4 as I have with the V10.
I feel that the N4 had better standby time. Perhaps the 2nd screen on the LG is drawing extra power, but I actually find it useful so am happy to keep this on.
This current setup is working ok for me. I'm not frugal with the use of the phone. Firstly because I really enjoy using this phone and secondly, having a removable battery is the lightest and easiest solution for not worrying too much about running out of power. Tethering to an external power brick is most annoying.
Having said that, it's still an interesting challenge to eke the best out a smartphone battery.
I can see others here are getting 5 hours SOT out of their phones.
I suspect a lot of the features I have turned on have reduced my SOT, but if some of you have a similar setup to mine and have better SOT I would love to know of other useful tweaks that I could try.

5-6 hours, depending on what I'm doing. Unfortunately I treat it like it has a big battery, and usually by the end of the day I'm getting pretty low.
I'm glad that it comes with such a fast charger, and I'm looking forward to getting my spare battery.

I'm lucky to get 3 hours off a full charge.

More than 5 hours all day everyday

Good, especially for a phone with a 2500 mah battery, I easily get at least 4 hours SOT and the phone lasts a whole day in my medium usage.

Depends, I have never been stranded with a dead battery, it gets me through the day, just some days im coming home at 10% other days 50%, and Im a definate phone junky, I'm always staring at the screen like a teenage zombie

After converting Prime version to OEM, I'm getting 6.5-7 hours SOT. Never saw anything like that on any phones I've had before.

I am getting about 6hrs of sot will post pic later

Sot im getting right now

I dont know about you guys but im getting outstanding battery life. I'm going to do a test later today. Im going to charge my phone upto 100 (after it reaches 0 today) and then when 5 minutes after it says is 100, i will unplug it and i will put a 1440p video that last more than 8 hours and see how long it last with full brightness and wifi on. Then im going to post Very specific details about how everything went. Oh , aslo it will have speaker at its maximum
oh and just have in mind, i have 35 user apps installed, and some of them constantly sync (so it means more battery consumption)

Just over 3hrs. I dont think my phone has started optimizing apps or putting them in Doze.

My sot had been nothing short of spectacular.. I'm getting 5hr average... nexus 6 would barely reach 3... my g4 not even 3 also..I always wondered how people were getting above 4hrs.. Ive gotten 6+.....I jus miss stock Android

I get 4 hours with medium usage and leave everything on. Wifi, BT etc. Brightness is on Auto but it shows at 50% to 70% most of the time at work. It's my bright office...LOL

Same as I got yesterday... I don't do anything to try and extend battery life though (brightness always on auto, and I usually turn it up a little bit). Today will be my 2nd full day with the phone, and after 2 hours off the charger I had 99% left (only 5 minutes screen on time), but then I used the phone for about 15 minutes and it dropped quick to 94%)... Time shall tell, hopefully it is till just optimizing like you said...

I'm on my 2nd charge and like you guys above, I'm getting abysmal battery life.
I'll give the phone another week or so to optimise, and if it doesn't - it'll be sent back to T-Mobile with a piss poor rating in terms of battery life. What a shame if that's the case..

2 hr 17 minutes screen on time. 68% left, second screen turned on while sleep. Loving it! Restored all my app backup from Google, so its not a plain phone.
This is after my first full charge it's only gonna get better as I rarely install new apps.
Auto brightness at times, manual on others, as the brightness of this phone doesnt compare at all to my note 4.

First full day at work with the phone, and actually pretty light usage day and gotta say the battery is a bit of a let down so far. My shorter days at work over the weekend gave me some concerns, but today I'm at 2% left with 13h 28m standby and 2h 17m screen time. No calls, no videos. Maybe a dozen messages, web browsing, 20mins of spotify for commute. Frankly it "feels" like it lasts the same as my 2 year old m8.

10hours 45Minutes
I don't have a sim in mine so all my use is just on Wi-Fi. Indoor use with 30-40% brightness, 49 apps and services disabled. The day after this I did 1080p 60fps video streaming while plugged into my Bose speakers using the Hi-Fi DAC for a little over 5Hours and got about 6.5Hours total SOT. But so far 10hours 45 minutes is my record. Another time I did get right at 10 hours so it wasn't a fluke.

I'm not activating mine either so that's pretty sweet.

I concur as well. I'm also coming from a Note 4 and the V20 is definitely brighter at 100%.

Hey, can you share any settings you may have altered to receive such SoT. I'll be lucky if I get 4. I used to get 6-7 hours on the Note 7 I had.

Yeah the battery life sucks, and I like everything else about the phone except ****ty LED screen (I know why they didn't use AMOLED, not cost, but because with no physical home button, the buttons would burn images in AMOLED, LED won't). In any case the true test of a battery is Pokemongo at 100% brightness (which you need with this screen at all times to look half way decent). Note 7 5 hrs, Note 4 4 hours, V20 3 hours, all at 100% and same resolution/settings. So yeah, the battery life sucks, end of discussion. And my phone is a week old, no bloat and settled. Another quirk is sometimes Antutu gets 147k excellent score and sometimes it gets half that, for no reason at all, as well as 3dMark being horrible as well for some reason, half of what it should be.

This is my third LG phone (Had the V10 and G5 before), and the battery performance appears very strong on this. On my first full, non-setup charge, and using my normal work activities (lots of emails, texts, calls, and periodic social media), here's what I got
Total time on battery: 54 hrs 52 min
Total call time: 3hrs 2 min
Total SOT 2hrs 44min
That's great life a regular business user. Also, the screen is way brighter than the V10 and G5.

I've been getting phenomenal standby time on this phone, thanks to the new and improved Doze, better than any other phone I've ever had actually. I'm just not getting great SOT, like many others out there and I can't figure out why. I've had the phone for about a week now and all of the apps should've been optimized by now, I think. Anyone else having similar issues?

Dmarco, a factory reset could be the solution

Guys it is simple. It is the same Snapdragon 820 in about 10 other devices with similiar battery sizes. But the V20 will get A LOT less screen on time, my estimation is 25-50% less depending on how bright the screen is. I need the screen at 100% and low comfort blue filter to make the screen even kinda decent, like a Samsung at 70% brightness. Anyways the LCD screen on the V20 eats A LOT of battery power, it can't compete with an AMOLED. That said, the only benefit is that in 2 years your screen won't have any burn in and be worthless.

tiny screen, BIG BATTERY.
i got around 8 hours of screen-on time with low brightness and 4G.
honestly, any proper tablet can get several hours more with a double battery size and much bigger screen.

Awesome. Sounds like at that rate it would just break 7 hours SOT. Thats amazing for an 800 series on such a small battery, imo.

I finally charged around 2am at 5% after clocking 5 hr 52 m SOT

Today is overcast and rainy in Portland (surprise)
So I've only had to keep brightness between 20-40%
I am extremely happy about battery life.
45% left with 4 hours 40 minutes SOT. Today has been very average in terms of my usage, light gaming, light social media, light browsing and moderate GPS navigation.

I'm on track to hit 8-9 hours SOT with pretty good usage across the board. Screen legibility at 30% brightness is awesome too! Have had no problems reading text or watching videos/taking pictures. There was one time I was sitting in a cafe directly under a bright light and I had to turn brightness up to 60%. I've still never had to crank it to 100% yet.

Screen on time, on wifi, has been awesome. Over 6 hrs last charge, today, over 4 hrs and at 65% remaining.

mine was unplugged for 24 hours, had 5hours, 15 mintues of SoT

6 hours sot

How are you people getting such massive SoT? I got 3h 20m with about 19h usage yesterday.
The current status looks like 1h sot in 9h usage (mostly overnight). I had always-on on. Screenshots attached.
I installed naptime now to see if that helps.
How do I check if the battery health is ok? I used accubattery which says about 92% health, is that normal or inaccurate measurement?

I got a little over five hours SOT with 2% left last night. Forgot to get screenshots. I was running at 50% brightness and have almost all of the "marketed" features turned on.

How many hours between last full charge & 2% for you? I have 3h sot, 16h since last full charge and 18% remaining. I am concerned about it now and need to figure out quickly whether I should return it.

Not sure but I'll do the same as I did yesterday and report back tomorrow with screenshots. Except today I'm at 40% brightness and don't want to change it.
FWIW, I am currently at 84% | Last full charge: 6h 47m ago | Screen usage since full charge: 40m.

I am guessing you charged it sometime before sleeping and now in the morning it is 7 hrs since charges and some drain with minimal screen usage, hence 84%?

Yep thats exactly correct.

Are you running 100% brightness all day? Take a screenshot of your advanced battery usage page also.

No. I use adaptive brightness and if it becomes too bright sometimes I manually reduce it. I will take screenshots again today.

From what I was told some time ago, adaptive brightness uses a sensor, requiring some (a lot? A little?) battery use there. I don't know if it is much... if it counteracts the point of adaptive brightness or what.
Personally, I just use the lowest tolerable brightness, manually adjusted as needed (which isn't too frequent, honestly), and I think I get the best battery I can from the screens I use.
Might be worth testing the two out see if manual helps any.

Okay, didn't think about that but i anyway disabled adaptive brightness in the morning today. Have 2.5h SoT, 15.5h uptime so far (since last full charge) and 42% battery remaining. With this rate it is likely to be slightly under 5h SoT which is still lower than what most people are reporting.
I also installed accuBattery to check battery health and it estimated it to be 91%, are these estimates usually correct? Should I be concerned?

The other battery saver I saw posted, and it seems to be a big deal for the pixel 2... Turn Always On Display off. In the settings it even says it eats battery. Lol.
