Pretty good battery life!

I'm seeing a lot of posts about poor battery life but am i the only one who's getting pretty damn good results?
I'm currently on 2days, 18hours, 31minutes and 41seconds on battery* and it's still on 31%. I reckon i can still probably get another 24 hours out of it.
Is anyone else getting similar results?
* Roughly: 5 phone calls, 20+ texts, 40+ minutes of youtube via HDMI out, 5 photo's (some with flash) and internet/market browsing here and there.
I'm running CM7 with vorkKernel (standard clock speed) with GPS turned off and WiFi on (when at home),

that kernal you are using. does it show accurate battery stats? I noticed cm7's battery is pretty erratic.
btw this is xthedarknight99 on twitter!

My battery life is great when I use JuiceDefender and when I don't use apps that use the mobile data connection the entire time.
My battery gets raped to hell and back when I have apps running that use mobile data, like MSN or IRC. I work 4-hour shifts and during a shift I usually leave MSN running using 2G data. In those 4 hours I lose around 40-50% of my battery, it's wicked.
One thing I've noticed is, when I enable Wi-fi and leave it enabled, battery drain overnight is around 8%. When I disable Wi-fi AND Mobile data and let JuiceDefender enable mobile data for a short time every 15 mins, my battery drain overnight is around 10%. If I leave mobile data enabled the entire time my battery loses 30% overnight.
Something is seriously wrong with the mobile data chip/driver.

Yeah, Wifi uses a lot less power than 3G when it's connected but uses a hell of a lot of power if it's constantly scanning and can't connect. I always turn mine on when i get home and turn it off when i leave the house

Noticed the same thing too. But less acutely, as I don't use any apps that use data constantly, except for an hourly email check.
Similarly, wifi at home seems to have slower drain than 3G mode when I am outdoors (wifi switched off when outdoors). I don't use 2G mode.
Generally, I stay above 50% battery level after a whole day's use - so I can't complain too much.

Finally plugged my phone in lol
Not got a screenshot of it but the stats are: 3days, 6hours, 17minutes and 49seconds on battery. Not bad!

Mine did something "bad" like this too. 3d 5h... never imagined, after the problems it makes day to day...

You lucky bugger! Ive actually had time to test it in the wild(slightly) today and well its not good at all!
5hours 20minutes or something around that, phone actually drained 99% lol! In that time i did:
almost 2 hours of browsing web, forums like hexus/xda so nothing to heavy... no constant loads/refreshes
Played 10-15minutes of xconstructor (im so easily pleased!)
Had 2 gmail accounts of auto sync, push basically
made around 27minutes worth of phone calls
5 texts
Not much really to drain 100% battery . Any ideas on how to improve battery life?
edit: this is on modaco fr18b2

@meltus.... do you mind me asking whether you're on stock rom or what apps etc you have changed to get that. I'm getting a healthy 24 hours for the battery normally but wouldnt mind extending that!!

Did you try to recalibrate the bettery with batterycalibration app? For me it basically doubled the battery life!

i recalibrated the battery before installing a new rom (it was 100% battery) however ill try again .

Meltus do you have sync on?
Also do you use whatsapp?
Those are the #1 battery killers on my phone.
Specially whatsapp.

I can't understand how your battery can last so long, while mine last less than a day ...!!!

That is impressive
May I know which nightly build are you on?
I've always been tempted to install them but i was too afraid of stability issues

that is indeed impressive. my battery gets merked by approximately 33% after 40 minutes of youtube lol

I have almost the same battery life on the latest CM kang, but with 2G only... With 3G I get little more than one day...

I think he's pulling our leg with that screenshot
No details of rom, baseband or ril combo etc.

I lost 3 or 4% in one hour on standby with Modaco fr18b2. Now on CM7 kang I have still 100% after 8 hours on standby. Data-2G and Wi-Fi are turned on all the time.
Well settings are the same as with Modaco ROM.

I want to flash CM so bad but am waiting to see what the official gingerbread does.. I know that once I go to CM I won't go back lol my battery is horrible right now

HTC Vivid Battery

Omg the battery life sucks so much, is there anything I could do to fix this, its terrible... Like I would fully charge it then use it for 5 minutes and it will drain to about 5-6%

Did you just get the phone? You shouldn't be draining to 5% after 5 minutes no matter what you are doing... that's unreal. Unless you are starting from 10%...

You've gotta be a bit more specific than that. Exaggeration prevents us from helping you.
A few basic questions:
What ROM are you on?
Describe your "us[ing] it for 5 minutes".
Take a screenshot of your battery use screen and post it here or something (both the expanded graph and the app list would be good enough).

which rom you are using？ Normally it should not like what you said.

O_O
Do you have GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, Brightness maxed out, Downloading multiple things at once while playing multiple games or something?
Have you tried recalibrating your battery?
i have experienced amazing battery life on my Vivid, running Rum Float Beta 1, I can browse the web, play store, and download a few things over the course of two hours and my battery MIGHT drop down to 97% at the ,most.
Calibrated my battery stats though and let it fully cycle a few times.
just in case you don't know how.
Step 1: Let battery get VERY low.
Step 2: Boot into CWM Recovery.
Step 3: Clear battery stats (Advanced Settings > Clear Battery Stats)
Step 4: Reboot device.
Step 5: Let battery die fully.
Step 6: Plug in, do NOT turn on until FULLY charged.
Step 7: Before turning it on, boot into recovery and clear your battery stats once more.
Step 8: Use phone as normal, until battery gets critically low.
Step 9: Mercilessly kill your battery. Charge w/o turning it on again.
Step 10: When fully charged you may turn it on normally and resume regular usage.
That should help a bit with your battery issues. I know mine was dying pretty easily before I did the above.

I am using HoliRaider, Like a couple of days ago I was texting multiple people, without tuning of the screen and go use other apps and such.. It willl go from 100 to 96 in a few minutes.

Just some observations i took today using my vivid lightly to medium use i guess.Checked email several times,checked facebook several times,sent and received several text,3 short phone calls,checked and updated weather several times,Took 3 pictures and uploaded them to facebook,read a few pages of news on the web,and checked battery status throughout the day.I think that's about it lol.Anyways i took 3 screenshots of the battery level during the whole day today.To say the least im very impressed with the battery of this phone.Im running the new ICS 4.0 Sense 3.6 that was leaked.I have my sync setting to min needs.All vibration is off except for when typing in a message only because i haven't figured out how to disable it yet.Of course my battery has been cycled and is broke in well now.
Im still looking for ways to extend the battery even further.

Using this ICS it really don't say a percentage but looks like around 30%.Automatic is way to bright and really kills the battery.

Dang, that's some killer battery life. I'm not getting nearly as much as that on RumRaider (GB), and I keep my Wifi and Mobile Data off whenever I'm not using it.

Yes it is but i don't get near that with heavy use or if i get alot of email's etc.
At 14 hours today its down to 14% right now.Loading webpages and facebook really drains it quick.Plus watching videos.I wish there was a way to disable the led i think this would help greatly.I have all the notification flash settings off for everything but it still flashes when i get an email or missed call.

I managed to get even more time on one charge.Used the phone on WIFI most of the time during this charge and it seemed to do even better.
One Day One Hour & Seven Minutes with 14% left

On stock battery I struggle to get 6 hours.
However, this weekend I was able to get 16 HOURS!
What was the difference? This weekend I was on vacation. I talked much less on it and I was out of 4G area.
All the tweaking with screen brightness, data connections, CPU speed all make a small difference in comparison to voice.
Look at battery screenshots of people with long battery life. They don't talk on the phone. If you want good battery life,
get a bigger battery. Motorola gets it.... they doubled the size of their Razr Maxx battery. You'll see more of these 3000mah+ battery phones in the future.

also i've found out if you turn off auto-sync it helps alot. i turned off auto-sync recently and expierienced at least a 2-3 hour increase in battery life

The issue is the battery size is absolutely ridiculous. Why in gods name they put such a small battery on an lte phone is beyond me. And alot of other htc phones at least have a name brand extended battery where you can still get a case. Me personally I have an aftermarket second battery and external charger as well as an external battery but it gets old. I'm not that bad but I probably if I'm lucky get 8 hours a charge. I really think ultimately its why I might look for something else when I get caught up financially, probably a nexus.
I just got better battery stats in hopes I can locate the source of the problem

he said he has it on half way...
anyways...i get 13-15 hours with 20% left
I leave my screen brightness on auto
WiFi and Data is always on (i live in an LTE area too...so im almost always connected to LTE)
I leave accounts and Sync on
i get anywhere between 3-4 and a half hours of screen on time
My bro has the same phone...he gets about 8 hours of battery life, with about 1-2 hours of screen on time...we both have the same exact setup...

get the wcx illuminati rom.. the battery life gets increased by a ton. :victory: the only problem is you have to sign up and have ten posts before being able to download

Huawei p9 screen on time

Can you guys post some screenshots what sot sre you getting?

Don't have a screenshot but I know I got +6.5hrs yesterday. I'll post a pic when battery runs down again. Still on MM.

In my opinion, P9 has pretty good Screen-On time.
Here is my average Screen-On time since 30th January 2017.

Have you been using the phone with full brightness?
In this battery test video, P9 with full screen brightness will last about 3 hours and 37 minutes.
In another video, a guy get 6 hours and 8 minutes out of his P9 from his normal usage pattern.
Most of the time, I would either be indoor or in my car. So, I think auto-brightness does not have to frequently increase screen brightness. That is probably the main reason why my screen-on time is good.
I also have an adblocker installed. Because Ad delivery system consumes a lot of battery.
This is an old article from 2012, but I believe it might still be true even today.
One example from their research, Out of 100% battery that Angry Bird app had used, only 30% was used by the game itself. The remaining 70% of battery consumption was used by tasks related to in-app advertisements.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Adaway.
If not, DNS66 is an adblocker that does not require root privilege.
Moreover, I mainly use my phone for communication (through Instant Messaging, E-mail, or web browser) and map. I do not have any 3D games installed. The most power intensive app I have installed is probably is Solitaire: Decked Out.
Additionally, some common causes of high battery usage are
- Proximity to cell tower. If you usually are in areas with bad reception, your phone will use more battery in order to connect to cell tower. Many areas have different signal strength for 2G, 3G and 4G LTE networks. Unless you really need to use high speed data, you can save battery by switching to networks that have the best reception.
- Wi-Fi consumes less battery than mobile data (3G, 4G LTE). Sometime people forget to turn Wi-Fi on. So make sure that you use Wi-Fi as often as you could.

Thank you soo much!!! Is there any way you can post some screenshots of your home screen just to see what other people have?

Difficult for me to give you an accurate SOT because I never charge my battery above 80ish % I never charge to 100% as it stresses the battery too much but I'm delighted with my SOT always use auto brightness. Coming from a 2 year old Note 4 the P9 SOT is outstanding!

Do you mind to share which firmware you are using right now? Recently I have upgraded my firmware and the battery life has deteriorated.

Cell standby drain

Hi all! First of all here are some screenshots about my battery stats. I'm not sure if these stats are right with SOT 6 hours + but it's kind of interesting that cell stanby is greater than my 5.5 inch screen. Also if anyone could tell me that Cell standby is measured together with wifi? If that's the case then i should not worry anymore, because wifi is on all the time.

First screen shot says it all. Shabby signal = high drain.
Outside of that - 6 hrs screen on over 2 days - what's the problem

And what can I do to make the signal better? I always have almost full or full signal bar, so it's a bit confusing :S

Also please tell me if WiFi is measured under cell standby?

well I care, because either my wifi or my cellular is draining my battery in an abnormal way, for example today i lost 30% in just 1 hour with 20 minutes SOT just browsing the internet on mobile data a little and using facebook. and i could get 7 hour+ SOT if my cell standby wouldn't be eating 35% of my battery at the end of the day, all my friends have cell standby at 8% average all day, i get 20 - 35% with the same operator, even if i have an excellent signal( full or almost full bar) with -95 dbm.

What others get means nothing - I get 10+ hrs sot, and still have 20+% battery left.
I will say this - facecrap is well known to eat battery, and eat it fast. Try an alternative to the fb app.
Oh - Google wifi scanning - might help.

Please understand, I don't mind helping people with problems, but I don't see a problem with your sot. It's about the same as mine, and I don't consider myself to have a problem - this is actually the best battery life I've seen on a device I've owned in a long time.
If it really bothers you, contact moto/lenovo, whoever takes responsibility for this device and see if they can help.
Most of all - don't worry - be happy!

Are all the bands that your telco uses supported by the g5s?
My screen off time is perfectly fine. The battery will barely deplete when I'm not using the phone.

If you have the time and opportunity then try airplane mode but WIFI enabled. Bad signal will eat your battery, I have the same problem at home. I regularly see 15-20% battery use for Cell Standby but with the modem disabled Cell Standby will disappear completely.

Found the permanent solution, it appears that the SIM 1 slot is faulty, placing the card to slot 2 fixes the radio problem and now I have full green signal bar, no drain

I have no Oreo yet here in Europe, I don't even think I will ever get it. Seems like the receiver is faulty on many Moto phones

P30 pro bad battery life

Hi guys! I have p30 pro with 153 software. I see that many people are getting SOT around 10 hours. I'm light user, i have disabled everything that i don't need to save battery, togled dark mode, apps to manual launch too, I have good reception but I am getting about 6 hours,
6.5 hours of SOT and as I see everybody is getting better SOT with similar usage like me. Look at the screenshots.

Any rogue apps? Apps which keeps the phone awake?
Usually with 6.5 hrs of sot, you should have at least 20% left.

puzzled because other people getting great battery life.
After a little while (1 week) , I did a factory reset and did not import any setting through Hi Suite. I start fresh. I did not update any apps at all, just the system update. Then my battery life is great as it suppose to be.
It last for 5 days with great battery life. Then, suddenly the problem reappear again. Not sure what caused it. For me, I realised the "Phone Services" usage was at 34% ( normal usage is adound 0.8%) - >look at setting>battery>usage. I really hope somebody can provide ideas on how to solve this permanently.
Atleast I have confirmed it is not hardware problem. Most probably is software related issue.
Wjat kind of app caused this kind of battery drain.

I may have a solution to drastically improve battery life but it's a bit tedious and time consuming.
Go to Settings - Apps-Apps again and open each app installed on your phone and for each app go to Data usage and uncheck Background data.
Warningo this only for the apps you know you won't need them to be running in the background!
Thank me later. Good luck!

It won't help, I already did that for apps which i don't want or don't need. I think i'm gonna take phone to warranty service then. I tried everything I think...

I had the same problem.. Had battery drain 10% per hour with/without using the phone..
I have cleared the cache and turned almost all apps in apps launch in manual mode.. Since then I have around 7-9h on screen time, it varies but I am not sure why.. However, a few days ago I chose only 3g in network mode in settings and got 11h on screen time after that (youtube 4,5h, fb 2,5h, instagram 2,5h and some other apps)-basically all SOT was on apps, so those 11h makes an amazing result... It is yet to be tested whether that 3g settings made the difference, maybe it is just a coincidence..

Have you done this for ALL apps that you don't use?
I did this for every app and disabled background data for all apps with the exception of a couple of them I use daily (Whatsapp, Gmail, Phone, Sms) and it made a tremendous difference in battery life.

If you have better signal with 3g it would explain the better battery, poor signal is the worst for battery.

I guess that is the catch, my 4g coverage is not so good.. I am getting 12-13h on screen time regular now, using apps like youtube for around 4-5h, facebook 3h and instagram for 2h.. The rest are phone calls, camera and other apps... The battery life is amazing..

I think I figured out why my p30 pro had a poor battery life before. The battery are draining abnormally even without using it.
Previously, I was using dual sim card.
1st sim was a 4G sim that can (call sms and internet)
2nd sim was also 4G sim but solely for internet purposes (cant call or sms- it has been set that way by the telco).
What i noticed was whenever this 2nd sim card was inserted, the "Phone Services" usage will spike and it was used by Sim Toolkit apps requesting Location all the time which sucked out the juice.
I didn't suspect the 2nd sim card at first because I did use it on my Huawei Mate 20 and the battery was superb.
I did not know why the second simcard behave this way when inserted in my p30 pro...
So now, as a solution, I only use my main simcard. Battery was again great. Got around 7hrs SOT with 25% battery left.
This is good enough for me. Also today I was recording 4K videos. Perhaps that affect my SOT.

Hello, do you know what is the Huawei data management services,it drains 7% of my battery
Thanks

I wouldn't swap my phone for anything else even after the ban.
5:30 hours sot with 50% left.

If you have Facebook ,Instagram, or Snapchat that could be why.. Lightroom is using a lot as well

Terrible SoT..
Hi guys,
I have serious battery problem with my p30 pro. While others are getting 8-9 hours of SoT. I am getting max 4.30 hours. I don't play games there is not a one in my phone. Usually using just for whatsapp and surfing. I don't have Facebook either.
Always on mobile data and, 2-3 hours hotspot on in a day.
Could you please tell me your opinion what is wrong with this device. I added some screensshots from batterystata app

You know Hotspot really drains the battery right? Can you not use that for a day to compare battery stats?

This is the current SoT from my Huawei P30 Pro (VOG-L29) with the brand new EMUI 10.0.0 (Android 10, stable).
Amazing work from Huawei ???? ??

This is the current SoT of my 2nd day of continuous usage without charging the battery (down from 100%).
I have always the GPS signal turned ON, as well always a net connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data, but not both at the same time). I've also kept every single app open (w/ minimize swipe-up ?? gesture).
I also have my Huawei Watch GT-614 continously connected by Bluetooth to my Huawei P30 Pro, using Huawei's own Health app always running in the background, continuously measuring my heartbeat and counting my footsteps as well.
PS: this time, half battery gave me more SoT because I didn't turned ON the Performance Mode at any time
