Thread started to show off and discuss the battery life we are getting on our device. I'll try to get some screen shots soon but I just got my s7 edge a few days ago. I love it! Currently I'm bone stock and with a lot of YouTube, Amazon, Web surfing, and some minimal gaming I'm getting on average over 7 hrs SOT! I'm curious to see what others are getting.
Just found this subject in the questions and answers forum. Sorry apparently my xda app or data connection is acting up not loading everything. Please close this thread.
Would you say that the BLU R1 HD is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the BLU R1 HD exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It is not very fast (1.3GHz Mediatek) but it doesn't feel slow doing day to day tasks.
Zero lag in non-gaming tasks. Quite amazing. And I'm comparing to Galaxy S7.

Agreed
I find it snappy enough to meet my needs.
Owning a Nexus 6P as my main phone, I wasn't expecting too much out of the R1. However after getting things setup for my son with a freedompop SIM I am damn impressed for it being a $60 phone! Very happy with the purchase!
For me, it gets laggy from time to time. But a restart will usually do the trick to pep it up again. I've seen nothing that is nearly as extreme as what this guy on Android Police wrote : http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...-eleven-the-slowening-begins-i-take-a-hiatus/.
I have no lag, very similar to my s6 Edge+.

Yeah, I don't know what that guy is talking about. Maybe he completely filled his internal storage, which can bog it down. After two weeks, I haven't seen any additional slowdown in my usage.
I am using this till I find another phone to purchase and I came from a Nexus 5x. Its definitely slower on speed but I am very surprised how well it works. I wont "miss" anything too terribly for the meantime.
Works well

Gday first post. Came from using s5. note 5 better everywhere except no ir scanner removable battery or expandable memory.
I consider my N920A "fast" for everyday use. I can leave my device in power save mode and still play my graphic intensive games like Real Racing 3 smoothly.
Currently mine's struggling to make Captain tsubasa Dream team going....dunno why :/
after two and a half years of usage and zero factory resets .. i would say it is fast for everyday use, but the phone struggles with whatsapp groups that have huge conversations and default internet browser, it is in these two apps where i see the lag.
it also lags a little bit while google play is updating apps in the background and when i connect to WiFi after 2 to 3 hours (or longer) of being disconnected from the internet, but this lag is minimal, the real problem is whatsapp groups that have huge amount of contents.

Owned the 5 for a few weeks now. Its slow as hell. stutters when scrolling, just feels laggy for a modern phone. I gave it a 3 as its 'ok' for the money but other wise a 2 compared to anything decent.

Agree. Additional 1 GB ram would be useful. Furthermore, here in Poland you can get better phone for less.
Well, it is not very fast for money, but you are paying extra for build quality and support, which is great IMO.
I agree with @kennyhkw, it's ok for the price range but laggier than I expected it to be
moved recently
I have moved from apple to android recently
I have just been checking the specs of the iphone 6 vs Nokia 5
my nokia 5 is so slow - i thought it was faulty to be honest - I have just run some bench marking tools on it and it is within the realms of what it should be.
It's not a good choice for anyone who is more than a light user, the camera app on oreo is also horrific - trying to slide photo to video or back again is like russian roulette.
so far i'm very disappointed - i'm wondering if dropping it down to 7.2 might improve things ?
owned it for about a month now but can't see me staying with it at present.
I'd score it a generous 2 - it's cheap but I was expecting something solid from nokia, not a porsche with a moped engine.

I love my nokia 5, i've being used it for 3 months, there is no trouble after all and no lag.
oh maybe i used the 3GB ram variant, so it's smooth
This phone isn't the fastest. About 30% of the time there are delays between tapping something and an action occurring. But it's performance isn't a laggy mess or anything. It's actually pretty good. It's not incredibly snappy but gaming, editing and pretty much every task runs well without any lag. The camera takes a second or so to open up though.
Honestly it's pretty slow overall, I'm pretty disappointed. Sometimes it seems like it's almost ok, but sometimes it can really become painfully sluggish.
Lags when unlocking with fingerprint, but otherwise quite snappy. Lag is hardly noticeable and once it happens once, it wont happen for a while after. this is for the 2gb variant

Hi all,
As you know, I got this device a couple of weeks ago as a upgrade (birthday pressie).... and on the whole, I am might impressed with it. Compared to previous phones, this is awesome....
However, one odd thing I am experiencing... is battery life? Whilst I read reports of this device and the other I was looking at, Note 10 5G. Both had 5000mah batteries, and reviews RAVED about how good battery life is in them. Some even saying it can be used as a Battery Bank to charge other peoples phone.
However in actual use of the phone, I'm afraid to use it... for merely tapping a few icons, browsing web and running/opening camera... I literally am watching the percentages drain... I thought this thing would be rock solid, and can generally browse/mess around and the battery will slowly decrease...?
Don't get me wrong, if I don't touch it and leave it in standby it will claim to last at least a couple of days... or that said, running it as SatNav and not touching the screen on a 30min drive, it didn't drain the battery at all and stayed at 100% (which did surprise me).
But to me, what appears as light use, tapping icons and surfing around see's it draining fairly quickly. I dread to think if I was playing a high end game, it will prolly be gone in 5 mins.... Good job I don't do games... lol
Cheers, Lister
Morning Lister .. ya got your paddling pool ready for tomorrow lol
Mines been quite doing the same playing with gcam ( I haven't uploaded the XML yet , reming me to do it later ).
I have noticed the battery draining quicker when the screens set to 90mhz , as I've read elsewhere that seems quite normal as the phone has to refresh the screen faster than it would on 60 . Signal strength can be detrimental too , a bad signal means the phone tries harder to pull it in and uses more battery in the process .
When I've finally got everything set up I'll see how long I can get on a charge , still got to copy me 3 stooges collection on to it , all 65gb of it

I think this phone has 90hz refresh rate, not 120mhz. Maybe u wrote it by mistake.
Hi The Mero,
Oh don't, I am not a sun lover at the best of times and these last few days/week's been killing me... lol.
I am, as we speak, practicing my Snow Dance !!! ;-) LOL
Yeah, seems odd that a camera can zap that much battery. I get it has to do a couple of things, active viewfinder, take the pic and then use processing power to render the output. But after reading all the rave reviews, this battery will last you into the next pandemic and all that... It to me, just seems to drain a little too quickly for my liking. I was expecting to get some fun time, without watching the battery drain down...
I think this screen can only go to 90mhz, but that said... I even have my set to the standard 60mhz. I not really played around with it, but it seems quick enough for me at 60mhz and every bit of battery helps. Like being in a heatwave and keeping ya aircon off, whilst sitting at the traffic lights with windows open... Gotta save that fuel/battery... ;-) lol
I did look at battery drain, and Mobile Standby did seem high, which is odd as its never been an issue with my older phones in same location. I'll keep an eye on that though, cheers....

Hi The Mero,
I just noticed this thread pop up, which is similar thing... It seems a few are getting the high Cell Standby for no reason at all... Although they appear to be on the updated version...??
"Cell Standby" battery drain on latest MIUI Global 13.0.12?
Hi, everyone. I bought a Redmi Note 11 Global a few days back and while setting it up, I was amazed at the battery life. It was at 56% when I opened it up, and throughout the entire setup process and after around 5 or 6 hours of screen on time, I...
forum.xda-developers.com
That said, I do have Calls over WiFi enabled, as it's the first time i've owned a phone that supports and is now available on my plan (PAYG lol). So I enabled it, just to try it out... lol
But apparently, this can be a zapper and cause the Cell Standby issue. Might try disabling it, and see if Battery Life improves....
Cheers, Lister
I'm on PAYG too , I turn off internet calling ( volte ) I had an issue on the X3 where you could hear the other person but they couldn't hear you . Some said it was a flaky mic and some said volte ( another name for it ) . Anyways I knocked it off and calls were fine after that . So if you start getting the same issue give that a try . Plus battery issues could be down to the CPU not behaving . Russian forum had some with the CPU stuck at full throttle while others were stuck at lowest speed . All using different miui versions or custom ROMs , this is getting worse every time we read about it
This phone is in need of a custom kernel. I think the default CPU/GPU governor is not properly optimised. We don't want the CPU to fire up all its cores and constantly hit 2.4Ghz while playing candy crush.
Also, MIUI 13 is so restrictive and bland. We are losing controls and features with each new update.
This amazing hardware needs a divorce from its retarded software.
some interesting reading .. miui updates

In my case, the amazing hardware broke up with its retarded software and is currently married to this chick named Pixel Experience. The experience is way way smooth and is something we and the hardware totally deserves. Though yes we really need a custom kernel, I don't know why Xiaomi hasn't released kernel sources for this device until now

Same here, unlocked bootloader and currently on Evolution X. Though all google apps and services are debloated so basically vanilla. I get 10 hrs screen on time with about 40 hrs standby
Hi All,
The battery on this device is really really shocking.... as in shockingly bad !!!
When I read about 5000mah ( basically double anything I've had prior ) and how good the reviews for battery life were on these devices. I had high hopes, I thought Id be able to tap away, causally wasting hours watching pointless YouTube and whatnot...
However here I am, re-arranging icons.... Configuring Applications (TruePhone and it's GAZZILION options), and watching the percentages just drop off, one by one by one.... I bet if I put a chocolate egg outside in this heatwave, it will melt at a slower rate than the battery drains...
Admittedly, I do have a few Apps on it... but no more than when I look at other peoples phones and it's not like I am putting heavy/tasking apps on. No gaming apps or anything like that... And to watch it go from 100 to 70 in what I think is a short time, is somewhat depressing...
I'll have to charge the ole 5000mah phone up and carry a couple 20,000mah at this rate... lol.
I've even de-bloated some of the system Apps in background... I may treat it to another wipe/reset and test it with barely any load and see what happens...
Cheers, Lister

I've had that issue on my Note 5 as well, and apparently I was not alone and it was in fact an issue that was introduced with Android 10. Turning off VoLTE did work for me, but that of course entailed a significantly worse call quality. I ended up switching to a different carrier and the problem went away. Sucks to see that the issue can still arise on current handsets.
I had a note 5 too , I can't remember if it did it or not, but I switched to a Moto g7 power and it did it on there too . I think your right about the network. I'm on 3 in the UK and never thought of the network being at fault , cheers for that

Because they don't want to and there's not really anything people can do about it.

I know that they legally have to. But which user will sue them if they don't is what I'm saying.
