5hours max on 4g and gaming. If you only use WiFi, sot will increase. Up to 7 hours.
I'm using the phone for past two weeks now. my screen on time getting me around 6 hours plus. GPS ON, WiFi ON, using 4G mobile data screen on time 5.30 hours.
Sot seems to have improved now and am getting 7.5 hours from 100-15 on continuous usage.
8 hours with heavy usage.
Without heating or lags.

Well...I've recently changed the phone company and I'v noticed that with the new one, in the same usage conditions, I do get less time respect to the times when I was with the previous company.

Something I was looking forward to. This suggests the Nexus does have great idle time. And the drain is mostly because of the screen. People are expecting magic with such a screen I guess.
I have been using for the last two days, haven't cracked 2.5 hrs on screen time.... I need to keep tweaking

not sure if this will make a difference for you but 3 things that i did is getting me 4+ hours a day screen on time easily. turn off location services completly (just turn them on demand if prompted), disabling google now launchers always listening option, and my personal best fix, disabling tilt scrolling in the chrome browser. tilt scrolling is a little janky atm because it never actually shuts off, so chrome is always registering any device movement in your pocket or whatever even if the chrome app isnt even open, and disabling that helped a TON

Mine has been great today. I have gotten almost 4.5hrs screen on time and I'm still at 38%. That's with stock rom/kernel and Google now and sync on. Granted that today's usage was mostly on WiFi by it is still much better than my N4 was.

Does anyone have this issue with their Nexus 5? I don't have a sim in it yet (waiting to get my micro sim from T-Mobile). But man, Gmail is absolutely destroying my battery life.
I'm sure my battery life would be awesome if this wasn't happening.

I like this idea and I'm surprised there are no comments yet! Indoors usage I'm getting around 7 hours screen on time if I skip gaming, could get more if I didn't visit my GF place cause the reception it's crap over there, but I'm pretty happy with the current result
Wtf! I'm getting under 3 and I'm a light user. I just browse the web, open yahoo mail and do a little raiding in COC and that's it. What is your guys secret?
Getting constantly around 5 with stock settings, social networks, some gaming and camera.
I get about 4 to 5. But it's also over 24-32 hours total, and a decent amount of music streaming over bluetooth. So if I instead measured over 16 to 18 hours instead, and didn't stream over bluetooth so much, I bet I could 6+.
Mostly around 5 hours SoT.
I have been getting anywhere from 3 to 5 hours with mixed usage. I believe that the phone is still trying to balance though, I have only had it for like 4 days. Hopefully I can get to 5.5-6 after the system gets into a groove

Whats your brightness? Are you on data or Wi-Fi? Is this 3 hrs of sot with over a day of usage? Are you listening to music as you use phone? Do you have an Android Wear device? Way too many variables. It is better than your previous device based on your usage.
P.S. it's always best to compare only with yourself using other devices as nobody uses a phone with the same exact settings and each little configuration adds up to such disparity. Ex: Once had my S4 die in less than 3 hours with straight benchmarking and the same device have over 12 hours of sot and like 5 days off the charger.

Also there's 2 types of panel, could be useful to include which panel you have as I wonder if that might cause different results. My screen time is pretty rubbish, it's always the highest thing using the battery. I think I get around 3-5 hours using auto screen set with a max around 1/2 which is worse than my old M8 and is really annoying me as I struggle to get through the day.
I've got the Sharp panel.

Only problem with comparing SOT is different people have different apps and habits, it's impossible to categorize everyone into light medium and heavy usage groups.
Personally I usually get around 3 - 5 hours SOT and I consider myself a light user and I am trying to get the most from my phone.
Itd be good if there was some kind of comparing table where different apps and their footprints were taken into consideration.

The phone is amazing!!! I'm using debloated stock Verizon firmware ( stock rom as well) rooted. I do use aggressive doze option in greenify app which is the only " battery saving" feature I have.
I use my phone quite a lot for making calls, snapchat and little bit of gaming ( world of tanks blitz for about 30 min, amazing game by the way). I couldn't be happier with the battery like and overall performance of the phone. HTC has made a good comeback!!!

Anyone with non-stock ROMs and Kernels getting better?
today was my first full day with the 10 and i only got a little less than 2 1/2 hours of SoT (just plugged it in when it hit 10%)
i was connected to wifi almost all day, and streaming music for about an hour.
also i noticed that it lost about 10%/hr while just idling. i unplugged at around 9am and it was down to 85% at 1030 with literally zero usage.
definitely super disappointed with the battery life so far, but i'm sure it will improve over the next few days.
also this is the TMO US version.
My experience pretty awesome so far
Loving the battery on the HTC 10. Coming from a Galaxy S6 that could barely get 2 hours SoT this phone is a treat.

As long as you keep wifi off, you can get 6+ hours of medium use across 1-1.5 days out of this phone. I got 4hrs+ SOT over a 4 day period with light usage. Only condition is wifi can't be on. With wifi ON, the phone won't last a day of light/medium use.

SOT is usually 1 hour 23 minutes at 50%. With the Display brightness a little less than half.
The biggest culprit is Android OS stay awake time is always high.
Man I've been more than impressed by my SOT of the Note 5 compared to my crappy old Nexus 6. I can get 4-5 hours on here vs the 3 hours max I got on the N6. Blows me away. So much better phone than that was too.
I normally see about 3hrs on nougat where as MM I usually got closer to 4 hours which is a bummer but still reasonable. Main issue is the screen off battery drain on nougat. Seems to want to drain 8-10% per hour no matter what I'm doing most days.
It's ridiculous. I've drained my new note 5 in 2 hours SOT just browsing Web and reading this forum. I've got 4-5 hours of browsing with my old note 2. That's just crazy low. Xiaomi MI max 2 can easily give you 8 hours SOT. Thinking of exchange already :/
I don't understand how it is possible that every big review on the Internet that I found claims it is more than 8 or 10 hours of Web browsing possible on note 5! How can it be true? Some tests on YouTube shows there is only 4 hours from 100 to 0 without heavy cpu and network utilisation and just screen on...
I consider myself as a Power user. I Only get 2:30 hours no matter the screen resolution, 1080P or 2K. Nougat or Marshmallow doesn't matter. But I'm OK with that, I have a lot of apps and 3 Gmail accounts so I'm getting notifications all day long.
Oh man flashing the n fuel xl Rom was probably the best thing I've done with my note 5. Sot is still lingering around 3 hours or less but stand by time has literally doubled. Now when the screen is off, the phone actually chills out and doesn't burn up battery.
Went from 12-13 hours to 25-26 hours with my normal usage.
new note 5 user here
after reading many of your comment guys, i feel really lucky
i had a note 2 for more than 4 years (still have it) and with my average use i usually get 3.5-4 hours of screen time on
i just bought a note 5 like a week ago and i'm getting more than 6 hours of screen time on
i use the powersaving mode on "mid" and i usually dont need more than a low brightness ... i dont use my phone for games that much cuz i have a ps4 for that ... usually use it for social media and these stuff
i know its very good only bcuz i just got it but with my experience on the note 2 i will try not to drain the battery life and keep it good
note is just the best there is

Oh can you show me a link to the Rom? I am not a heavy user so about 2h sot is fine for me. However I need my phone to be able to last longer while in Standby. I get only 11hr of the phone, including 2hr sot now.
My note 5 battery is dropping >10% per hour with light use. SOT guesstimate to be about 3 hours. Standby drain is great but not when I start using it. Such battery drain defeats the purpose of a smartphone. I guess Samsung has a reason to design the phone with irreplaceable battery. Ordered the S8+ as replacement.
I was studying my battery life/SOT today. I managed to take some screen shots when my phone was around 8%. I'll upload them a little later when my phone is charged up. I let it drain all the way to try and calibrate it. I notice it shut off today at 2%. Around 8% I noticed my screen on time was over 5 hours or higher. Can't recall now the exact number but it seemed unusually high. I think I got around 10 hours of battery life. Once I post screen shots later can someone tell me if they seem accurate and if I get good battery life since I just upgraded to Nougat?

True. Irrespective of MM/Nougat, there is not much we can do about SOT. The best case can be just above 4 hrs. I am on PureX ROM of Rajeev. Between FuelXL and PureX, the best part is on Deep sleep. When the screen is off, the power consumption is close to Zero. The only reason appears to be that both the ROMs are heavily debloated. Any further major improvement to battery life of Note 5 can be only with Oreo ROM. In my Oneplus, i flashed custom Oreo ROM and the battery life is dramatically extended. So, lets wait and pray for Oreo form Note 5.
So everyone on stock N gets around 3-3.30hrs of sot. Felt relieved to read becoz i was worried and thought mayb my phones battery has loosen its capacity.
Btw is there any app that can tell us exact wear level of the battery?? I tried googling some apps but none gave me the exact info that I needed.
I thought my battery was still bad even after changing it but I'm getting well over 3 hours of screen time so it looks like I'm all good for now
I have 4.5-6 hours SOT every day. I'm on stock N, GPS, wifi, sync and lte on all the time. However, every now and then I make a cache reset in recovery, always after a new app installation. Guess my system is quite clean. Battery life is awesome om this device.

Before I sold my Note 5, estimated the battery wear with AccuBattery.
I recommend getting LG V20, its a great upgrade to the Note 5.

No way you're getting 4.5-6
I bought a note 8 used and its battery is much better than my 2 year old s6 edge altough it charges slower
Usually I get around 24-30 hrs with 5-6h sot
Today it was a little bit different, I used autodesk sketchbook for quite a bit and my sot was 7.5h but 11.5h on battery and 13% left. I want to keep my battery healthy as I had to charge my s6 edge 2/3 times daily for 1.5 years. Is my battery ok and does it matter if i get :
5h sot and 25h on battery
8h sot and 12 on battery
Thank you in advance
Wtf? I'm at 7 hours on battery and 2.5 hours of screen on time and I'm at 11%.

Try to avoid charging it to 100% all the time. You can research it more online, but charging to 80% for example can extend the battery's life span over the long-term.

As my s6 edge is rooted with Samsung info app I could see that i charged it around 1200-1300 times i think.
Only 20-30 times, i didnt charge it to 100%
That probably had the big impact on the battery then
I cant find even a single one on youtube
There would be tons of them if the battery was poor... ?

In my case，after 2 days of use, both from 100% to 5%，SOT is 7h30min.
7.5 SOT for me too.
Same usage, my old Pixel would do 4.5 hours, maybe 5 on a good day.
This is with forced 90 refresh on in developer settings.
First couple of days I was getting about 5hrs 30 mins sot but since then it has dropped to 4hrs at best. Can't work out why. Phone reports no unusual battery drain.
