Hello, i tried to monitor how battery drain and how behave with my usual average use. I think is pretty good:
The only issue is the screen stats, are clearly wrong (or i'm reading it wrong ). Is not possible 2h of screen with 62h of usage, are around 8 or 9h (or more) as you can see from activity bar.
The stats sometimes get for example 3 or 4h, then i check again and i see 1h of screen, how can change screen time to less values ?
Graph & screen on time is correct. But that 62h is something strange. That doesn't match either graph or screen on time
graph show 21h is like all the stats refer to that range. What the purpose of see latest 24h (or less) if the charge last 3days ? My old xioami mi a1 was much more useful on that. btw 2h30min x3 are something like 7h of screen... that's is the counter i was looking and is missing (why guess something is tracked??). nosense.

So I've had this problem for a long time on the battery stats screen since I started using the stock GPE ROM and it is completely inaccurate. See the screens attached. There is no way that nearly 4 an a half hours of screen on time only used 7% of the battery. Sometimes the screen on time doesn't even show up in the list because apparently it is so small...
Nothing broken here.
Yes, 4 hours of running the LCD backlight could drain as little as 7% of the battery's capacity.
Your battery life *itself* could be improved (it looks sadly typical of 4.4.2 with location services left on all default settings), but the battery history display is right. Good luck.

4hrs SOT on a ONE should push the screen to the top of the statistics. Never observed such behaviour on any other kitkat phone.
EDIT:
Forgot to add that my battery life is good. It is not a battery issue.
So I've had my phone a little over a month now and i never got amazing battery life, but compared to other phones it was solid. However, i see people with 6-7 hours of screen on time, when i struggle to squeeze 4 out of my phone. Typically i get down to about 10% with 17 hours total and 3.5 hours of screen on time. Also my phone usually turns off at 5-10% randomly, is this normal? Lastly, every so often if i let the battery run down until it turns off (8% or so) i get a screen that shows the battery sign with an exclamation mark on the inside. Is my phone defective or are peoples battery stats a matter of difference in usage.
SOT heavily depends on use and screen brightness.
I always get 6-7, auto brightness, no gaming.
Yes but I'm saying i get a max of 4 hours SOT with absolutely no gaming. All i do is text and use normal stuff like twitter and instagram.
My device at the same, up to 5 SOT
Do you think battery problems on this device?
Edit: 8-10 hours standby -> %10 battery drain...
Location - Battery saving(always)
Brightness - Auto(always)
Wifi - off(idle off- Scanning always available <-OFF)
Network - 2G(idle)
Bloatware - all disabled
Moto Apps - Only Moto Display -ON-
Facebook / Twitter - I don't use!
I typically see 1% battery drain for every hour in stand by and 10% for every hour of screen on time. After 24 hours with 2 hrs SOT, I'll be around 55%. I don't use WiFi or GPS very often.

Just wait for Lollipop update and the excessive battery drain will be gone. With KitKat I had around 10% or more battery drain overnight, but now I'm having at most 1%-2% with the same synced settings, so it was a huge improve, believe me.
Besides this, try to disable Moto Actions (except camera wrist), keep those sensors awake all the time drain a lot of battery. The exclamation sign inside the battery should be present in around 5% battery left.
Also, as far as I know, Turbo will be updated directly to 5.1, so it would be better, but hope that Verizon crap-ware doesn’t ruin the update.
Hi all, How to check screen on time with Mini 2? Can't find it under power settings, it shows only hardware and apps battery time but what about screen? Also what is your readings, is it bad, good or mediocre?

Love it Love it Love it
I don't mind screen timeout, I'm talking about battery life and screen on time (SOT).

sorry my bad
settings> power> history
youll find a graphic there.
hi yes I know there is a graphics with timeline but not hours and minutes to tell you how long screen has been turned on since last charging. I'm using GSam Battery Monitor app to calculate my SOT, I'm got this HTC from new 3 days now and I'm after second charge.
My results are not bad, see picture Time since last full charge: 18h34m, 69% remaining including
Screen on Time 1h29m, Calls 20min, WiFi 10h, Web Browsing 30min, Nova 3 gaming 30min, few emails, txt, Auto sync off (just check emails when I want), location off, Auto brightness on, power saving mode on (turned off while gaming). While I sleep 7hrs battery dropped 2% only. Due to not big 2100mAh battery it seems to be good.

I am software version shown in ss
I just bought the phone and only getting sot 30 mins for 10% of battery consumption i got like 4 and half hour of sot for 73% battery consumption i thought x2 pro have around 8 hr sot help me it's frustrating
Well that calculates to more than 6h SOT, which isn't that unrealistic if you used 4g and max screen brightness all the time, but there might be something draining the battery. Check the usage details. I see you use something connected to bluetooth so that might be causing the issue.
Bro i was using the brightness at 27% and nothing was connected to the Bluetooth
I installed betterbatterystats (bbs) xda edition and gsam battery app with adb rights. So you can see the deep sleep with bbs and the times of dot/phone time/ect and which app use how many ampere.
In this charging time I get 4,5 hours dot with 40 hours phone is on. I have now 34%.
Debloating, netguard firewall, no energy saving, always 90 hz.
Also i am having fps dropping issue during online gaming like pubgm or codm
What should i do to get normal 60 fps as this phone has 855+ so i can get 60 fps normally
I'm having even worse SOT and I have the same realme ui version.
I'm not as much hardcore user as a lot of you and looking at 4k mah battery I thought that I will be getting at least 7h SOT.
I'm not playing any games, right now most of the time phone is connected to wifi. What should I do? Debloat my phone? Is it somehow dangerous for my software? Can i ever go back to normal version?
location services destroyes battery on this device
i disable it for one day just to see the difference and it went from 4 hours SOT to 6 hours plus
always talking full brightness wifi some 4g 90hz
and from 100% to 1%
You have like almost 30 hours of standby, and if you use always on display, then that's at least 30% on that. If you consider this then it doesn't look that bad. You do the math. The other guy's stats concern me more.
You will need to make some adjustments, battery can be excellent but you have to be realistic,
Check out App quick freeze and freeze the apps you don't use.
Dark mode,
AOD off,Screen light effects off,
You just got the phone,tinker with it a while to see,
Also battery will drain a lot when your setting up the first day
I'm coming from an Exynos S10e which was great but had terrible battery, so one of the main draws for me on the Pixel 5 was the increased battery life - I need to get a full day of quite heavy use.
So I got the phone and like it a lot, but although battery life is better (it couldn't really fail to be) I'm not getting the terrific screen on time that others are boasting about. I tend to charge up to 80% or so and try to recharge on around 20% and don't watch a ton of video, so I'm mainly checking emails and news, surfing the web, reading text and sometimes dipping into YouTube.
I've currently used 60% in 20 hours, but that includes eight hours of sleep when the phone was idle and has virtually no sustained screen on time. Overnight, the phone uses about 1% an hour with the screen off, although I do have AOD on during the day. If I watch video (adaptive battery and adaptive brightness on) it ticks down pretty fast.
I'm told that Accubattery isn't really accurate, but it had 'battery health' down as 3880mAh (97%) from the get-go, which worries me. (It also has screen on time pegged at 7 hours and 51 minutes, which I absolutely don't believe.)
My questions are 1) Is there anything I can do to check/improve battery life and 2) How accurate are the Accubattery readings likely to be?
Or am I simply expecting too much, which is entirely possible?
Thank you!
AOD basically cut my time per charge in half, i am not a heavy user so my screen on time is always on the low side. But turning AOD off (and the AOD on move thingy, which apparently triggers all the time when in a pocket or even next to you on a couch) i jumped from ~1.5 days to 3 days per charge (with 3-4 hours SoT light use: podcasts, reading news, etc.).
After the pixel 5 motivated me to go through all those options i set up my old oneplus 3 with the same settings / android 10 and i am getting basically 2 days out of it (again the AOD changes did the trick). Which basically disillusioned me about the Pixel 5 battery, it's nothing special. Just about what you expect from a phone with this battery size and a simple Full HD screen and a SoC that is somewhat energy efficient.
Small Addition:
I'd really be interested in other peoples experience with AOD. I've red people saying things like "you don't need a notification LED when the AOD is so energy efficient" personally i think that is just not true. If you are a power user and you have a daily sot of 5-6 hours maybe. But for people like me that 1% battery drain per hour (i noticed about the same figure when i had AOD on) just adds up to a lot. In two days basically 50% of your battery is gone, if you follow the 80/20 rule, which i do not think is necessary, that basically leaves you with 10% of your battery for other things. Seems like AOD isn't as efficient as some people might want you to believe and a notification LED might something i will look out for on my next phone.
I can't remember what the train without AOD was but it was noticeably less.
AOD is a stand by battery killer. For anyone that uses the phone on a desk facing up. Especially in bright areas where the AOD triggers the max brightness.
However. This affects people who has more than 20-24 hours of standby time. People who do... 8:00 to 24:00 every day (so 16 hours standby) is much less affected by AOD battery drain.
So yeah. For light users. Disable AOD is my main recommendations. I stopped using AOD in the last year that I used the Pixel 2.
All the other tweaks are less relevant. But my rule is to just enable what you need.
Example: every time I say ok Google I'm at home with a google home around. So I disabled ok Google from the phone. (I just tap de assistant icon).
