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 Moto G4 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

never took the battery down much past 50% but at the 50% mark I'll usually have about 3 hours of SOT. my moto g³ is pretty much the same. great battery life and SOT on the g⁴plus! especially if you're like me and mostly use IRC and open a few links and youtubes throughout your session. you're going to have PLENTY of SOT

Compared to the screen in the G3, it is sharper despite being bigger at 5.5 inches. This is due to the higher resolution of 1080p. The text looks crisp on this phone. But where it truly excels is in showing colours. The contrast and the colour depth on it is brilliant. The brightness is more than adequate, although it is also a very reflective screen and that poses some difficulty during outdoor use. The viewing angles are average -- the screen darkens when viewed at an angle -- and that too affects the outdoor visibility. But I have seen worse. And seen better. The G4 Plus is closer to the best.

Screen on time is bad , really bad :(

I m getting around 4-4.5 hours screen on time , Aod off , Edge off , Just wifi is on at home and its off when i go out and mobile data is on . Usage - browsing , netflix , web . Power saving mode is disabled , Brightness is around medium and resolution is FHD+ , Its been 2 weeks + since i got it.
What should i do , I see people getting way more along with way more usage than mine .

same, its hard for me to get over 5 hours.

What service provider do you have ?

Are you using a dark theme? Darker colors are easier on the battery to produce on an AMOLED screen.
What are you doing during screen-on time? If you are doing resource intensive activities like using Navigation, that will absolutely kill battery. Someone having 5+ hours of screen-on time, may be doing something passive with their screens on. It's really difficult to go apples to apples in these cases.
User sewe used 1659 mAh on screen during his 7h+ run. How much is your stating is due to screen in mAh?

same here, exynos, running in performance mode, wifi & mobile data on, 6.45 on battery and 4.40 screen on time, 56% left on battery, I do turn screen brightness down a bit as I don't need it full whack when in doors

The only other factor is gonna be wakelocks , or Signal strength.

So, it sounds like you have the Exynos version. I have been hearing some stuff about shorter battery times on different variants. I think they might be Exynos related.

Are most of you using WQHD? I had an S8 Plus and then got the Note 8 and I can say from using both phones the Note 8 doesn't have as good battery life. I run my screen on WQHD and I get through most of the day. Battery life is average in my view, but battery life isn't a big issue since the Note 8 has fast wireless charging and fast wired charging and I have a portable battery so I always have something to charge the phone. I mean worse battery life was expected compared to the S8 Plus, bigger display and all with a smaller battery...

NEW Thread, Battery Life (SOT) for Note 8 on Android Oreo!!!!!!

Post your most recent batter life number if you have a note 8 on the new android oreo update, lets compare and see how we can maximize use

Again, really? Just use it and recharge when required...

I'm bot usually that guy, but I tend to agree with this guy. Do we really need to obsess over how long we can use the device before the battery dies?
I've found that just using the device without caring how long it lasts, I get way longer than expected battery life.

The problem with this is, everyone uses their phone differently. So unless people will tell us how bright the screen was, using wifi, 4g, gaming, Facebook and for how long, etc etc, it would be pointless IMO. If you want better battery life, reduce brightness, as this is the biggest drain on the battery, stop all syncing, remove apps like Facebook, reduce the resolution, turn on power saving and turn off animations or put them to .5.

Exactly & agree on all the above. SOT is so over rated & it's easily to manipulate the results. I mean I have posted my SOTs before but I use it only for comparison, ie rom & kernel testing based on my own phone usage. Comparing SOT with others' results doesn't really mean anything except to those looking for some kind of useless bragging rights.

I find the Oreo update sucks. I dont know if its just me. my phones gets heated for no reason, even if its not being used or charging. Battery Life sucks so downgraded the Noughat. Happy to have the 5-7hours SOT and less heated phone.

Whats with these guys and the excessive use of exclamation marks? AND not reading before posting? There are several threads about this topic

sorry, I know some of you are just enjoy the phone etc, Im trying to find out what other people are getting as I seem to be draining pretty bad, when I use better battery stats it shows wifi running 100% despite it being off

Battery life dropped a lot with the Oreo update for me, har resetting, cache resetting nothing is helping. I get tops 3 and a half hours.

Yeah Oreo sucks I got only 3.5 hours SOT now back on Nougat I'm getting again 5-7 hours SOT

Didnt want to open a new thread for another Battery consultation. I have the 950U1 model and after upgrading to Oreo ive had an average of 1 hour and 15 min of Screen time and it drained my battery %6. Is that within the norms of how it is? Just curious.

Anyway, this is very strange as the majority is having possitive feedback on battery life, also the Oreo itself is having some battery (app) optimizations that should help... but no!

I started other thread asking for opinions about the OTA oreo, I mean only OTA, as some got their oreo in beta or cross flashing from other countries, or changing some parts, In my country we dont have OTA oreo yet, at least for officially distribuited devices which are ALL branded, (locked or unlocked), as samsung does not sell cellphones to consumers directly in Mexico, only through 3 carriers,but all these comments make doubt about updating from nougat, reading this thread has made my uncertainty bigger, in the meantime, I disabled OTA updates, just in case, maybe waiting for Oreo 8.1 would be better

You can't accurately judge/assess battery life in increments. Go through a few full cycles and see what averages out.

A complete disaster. That Dip is 45 minutes paying music with the screen off.
I've had it for two weeks, cleared cache and dalvik all that. I need know how to downgrade.
Google has been iffy. I have the unlocked Samsung note 8, I use it on Verizon. Bought it directly from Sammy

There are other threads with the same topic.

Question Why my battery life is so low?

I got this phone after seeing tons of reviews that Samsung S23 has amazing battery life
But i am ending up charging my phone twice a day because of very less battery life.
I am not a power user, mostly using phone for browsing and texting.
Yet the SOT is still so less?
I am using light mode in battery settings - Adaptive refresh rate - mostly wifi- Dual Sim 5G
25W official Samsung charger.

From your picture you can't see that the battery has been charged for the last 19 hours.
So where are those twice daily charges?

You are using two sims, if the signal is not great or will drain battery.

First of all, turning 5G for dual sims drains the battery so fast and secondly, I can see very well from the image you posted that you haven't charged your phone for 19 hours and some and that's great battery life to me. Also, if you happen to be using your screen at 2k or so, you better lower it at 720p or at least 1080p cause remember that galaxy S23 is only 3900 mAh and that's not a very big battery capacity like its bigger brother the S23 Ultra which is 5000 mAh and can pretty well handle intensive work! Hope my answer helped you.

Facebook is not your battery's friend.

For those who are saying i didn't charge it from 19 hours, please note that standby time was long because i charged it at 12am last night and then binge watched Netflix on TV, slept late and then woke up late too.
So mostly it was standby.
If i am using it regularly, then the SOT is very less.
Please see the SOT in the screenshot.

neither twitter nor instagram... and facebook is the most offending application of the battery in the android world, i agree with you

removed due to lack of accurate and or useful infromation

You have two sim cards active, three and a half hour of screen on time, and 19 hours of screen off time. I think it is great.
Peogle that shows a great screen on time, they do not stop using it. No screen off time.

General The battery drain got EVEN WORSE FOR ME

10% battery drain in 20 minutes seems like my battery just killed itself at this point, hell nah man, never in my life am i getting this brand, NEVER, legit, how much stuff do i remove and limit to use my phone is annoying, i paid $820 USD for it and it's pure s**t. Please stay away from ONEPLUS-OPPO, or to be honest any chinese brand per se. NEXT PHONE I AM BUYING WILL BE IPHONE 15 PRO MAX, F ONEPLUS.

I guess it would have been better to buy a Google Pixel 7 Pro or Samsung S23

That I agree, OnePlus while they have this policy, besides the problem with battery and such...never again. I'm going for Samsung, pixel phone is another brand I never gonna go back to...

Nah, I don't want any problems anymore, enough of this bs, I will just get the iphone 15 pro max and I will be happy ever after, my parents have iphone 13 pro max, man those things last forever, two days of HEAVY usage, perfomance, realllyyyy gooodddd, not that oneplus has bad perfomance but it's at the expense of battery life, 3 hours compare that to 11 hours, insanneeee
not even google nor samsung get that, hoping 15 pro max would have even better battery life. Either way it will be better than this bs phone.
Official Oneplus hater

My battery is holding at an estimated 90% according to accubattery. That's fine for a device that has been used as a daily for a year+. But something is draining it, I wish we could figure out what is going on, mine has been noticably worse since I updated to OOS13 recently. It may be a coincidence, but something is up and it's got to be software related.

i got mine this January and for my use i get an hour for every 10% using full hd and high fps setting.. so around 9.5 to 10 hours sot on a full charge..
if i lower the resolution and fps i can get around 11 to 12 hours sot.

never, maximum 5 to 6 hours sot

i am not trolling and i will charge to 100% and post proof after a day's use.
my device is almost brand new and my use is pretty light.. mostly reading stuff, discord, texting and youtube, bluetooth spotify when driving.. not much calls.. almost no games. i have also disabled some system apps and i use a firewall app (afwall) to block apps which i feel have no business to be online (even system apps such as photos, camera, phone etc).. i also disable the background data for almost all the apps and only gmail and whatsapp are allowed to autostart.
my device is a 2210 running c.26 2215 fw with root, and lsposed aswell.
i'm posting the current battery screenshot.. it was around 60% initially and you can see from the use i'm getting about an hour sot for every 10%.
obviously if your use is heavier than mine you'd get less.. but 5 to 6 is just too low imo.. that is probably like all day heavy graphics gaming sot. i suspect that the ultra fast charging will ultimately damage the battery pretty quickly because of the heat and maybe thats what you are facing.
