Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Lenovo P2's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

The battery life was blissful and why wouldn't it be! The power effecient Snapdragon 625 and humongous capacity will push this phone for a very long time before I would end up near a charging socket. But lately, I have been noticing a drop in the battery life of this phone. I received an update in August 2017 which was a July security patch of 125mb. After that update I did notice a drop in battery life. Not that it is terrible now, but surely it doesn't feel like 5100 mAh any more, or may be it feels like 4000 mAh. I used to push this phone for 2 full days earlier and still would have 20% juice left, but now my P2 gives up at 5 to 10 hours past a day. It still impressive but these are not the stats that reflect a 5100 mAh capacity with a very efficient cpu, and considering the fact that it was much better before that 125mb update. And when Lenovo phones get an update they never specify the summary of that update. So I doubt that a security patch alone cannot be 125mb. There was surely some bug fixes in that update, but I did not notice any fixes instead a drop in battery life sadly!

I haven't noticed any change in battery life since the update. At my current user pattern I should, according to GSam, be able to browse the web for 10 hours before battery is depleted. SOT would be almost 20 hours.

I have the sames problems.
Have you got à solution?

Just reducing the size of lot of videos using VidCompact app, not all other mobiles will survive 8hrs. While I monitored the cpu usage it did not even get lower and stayed full time in 2.1ghz

one year on still getting 14-15 hours SOT from daily ( normal ) use , i have noticed battery is running down a lot quicker playing games though , and when it its around 40% battery rapidly drops

That's great, Maybe you should replace your battery, rapid drop indicates it.

Nah i'm thinking of getting a new phone . Its a race between the Moto G5 plus ( unlock the boot-loader and modify the camera ) or the Honor 6X ( on 3 uk firmware so needs debranding to an open one ) . I'm leaning towards the moto as I've read the camera is stunning once its been modded .

P2 is one of the best in class. It has good display, battery life, speaker and camera. Lot of mods and custom roms are also available. Choice is yours.

Amazing
Have owned hundreds of android phones, and deal with lots day in day out, use my phone to play music when working, watch videos on it, gaming too, battery is phenomenal. After can full on day of hard usage, the battery is still over 50%..... This phone just rocks!!!

How's ram management on 3/32 version with aosp los roms?

The battery is great and the phone is rugged, mine got smashed so many times and a friend even sat on it and the aluminium shell eventually cracked (I replaced it, and had to take it apart).
Placed the battery on a weight scale just for fun. The weight of the phone comes at a price, it feels heavy or well heavier than most phones of that screen size but the battery performance is great and the phone is super rugged.

After a year of use, the battery is not as impressive. Getting enough for 3-4 days. Now for 2-3.

only 4hrs of SOT, bro that's terrible. :crying:
My suggestion is you should try upgrading to pie custom rom, they are giving me so far the best SOTs I've ever able to get on P2. :highfive:

The SOT depends om my user pattern and apparently the reception also plays a big part. Not to mention I have many apps which never sleep.
I recently hit 8 hours of SOT when using it for 43 hours. That's from a 100% to 20% charge.

General Battery life experience

Hey guys,
So a month after the launch of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, what is your battery life experience? Give us your feedback and numbers.
Please mention your chipset (Exynos or Snapdragon) and post a screenshot if possible.
Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with battery life. I usually get a day and a half with around 9h of SOT. I have the Exynos model and my screen is set to 1080p with standard motion smoothness. Bluetooth is always on and I use 4G most of the time. All other settings are set to default.

How is you Phone radio usage so low. Mine is always way higher. Does that mean the signal is bad??

Can't complain, I get around 5 hours SOT a day with 30 to 40% left in the tank.
That said, I am stuck at home all day on WiFi, so sure that will decrease when I'm out and about with location on and 4g/5g but still pretty decent.
Exynos, QHD, 120hz, active 2 connected all day, some debloating and Bixby routines to switch to 60hz for some apps, turn off location/NFC/4g at home and sync/AOD on when charging

Standby for me has been amazing.

I think bad signal is definitely a factor. In my case, I stay at home most of the time (remote work) or at the office and in both locations I have a very good signal. Also my carrier doesn't support 5G yet, only 4G.

Ikr, even with Bluetooth on, I lose barely 3% at night.

Still on 91% I've been playing on my iPad all day so barely touched phone.

Had Exynos S21 Ultra that i didn't like the battery life of it. I had barley 4h of SoT.
I send it back to Samsung and got a Snapdragon HK version and i am getting 4.5h with the second full charging. I hope it gets better in a week or two.

Mine is amazing. Exynos. It keeps getting better.

I got the Exynos version.

Latest update made mine worse

It will get better. I was like you.
Then I reset my phone and didn't use smart switch and after couple of days I am getting now around 1h SOT per 10% with bluetooth and 4d enabled. Full resolution and adaptive framerate and sometimes I switch to 96.

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.

Question Battery life of Galaxy S23

Hello, I am posting this thread because I am concerned about the battery life of my Galaxy S23 (SM-S911B/DS) (India). A lot of YouTubers and on social media too people are claiming screen time upwards of 5 Hrs. But I am getting around 4Hr only. I tested multiple times from (98-100)% charge to below (5-0)% and screen time is maximum of 4 hr 30 minutes. I am on latest software available current version s911bxxs1awbm. I am using single 4G sim (Jio 4G), with tap to show AOD, always on data/wifi, very less Bluetooth (up to 1 hr). Use mostly youtube, Instagram, telegram. 30-45 minutes calling. Adaptive refresh rate although I tried using 60hz but it had not that much effect on battery. Battery health is good. It barely lasts for 1 day. Please provide feedback…

I am getting around 5 hour 30 minutes. But, I am on permanent battery saver. Uninstalled / disabled most of the bloat already. Any tip will be appreciated! ( am on the Indian version too ). I remember my OP6T days, and custom roms were good for those looking for more out of their devices. I hope our device gets some ROMs as well..
Update- am getting 6 hour 30 Minutes+ when using deep sleep+ sleep options for apps I don't actively use. You might want to use it to get decent SOT. Battery could have been better from hardware side, but I think this is good considering the processing power of chip is good and camera is great.

the following is my experience.
I was getting even worse battery than this. battery life projection after learning usage for 3-4 days was 12 hours from 100%. i then took the extreme step of factory reset. also went to the service centre and got the full firmware flashed. they flashed the february firmware. i then set up my phone as new (without smart switch). i am now getting battery life at par with others. now i dont know if it was smart switch restore which was the culprit or the combo of that plus march update or just march update alone. but i am a happy camper now.

Still 15% left.

Same here, I got the S23 because I was fed up with the S22 battery life. Samsung offered me 650$ CAD to return the S22 so, I figured it was a no brainer. Still, I got the phone on march 28 and I get 5 hours of SOT at most. I'm a bit disappointed. Especially because I tweaked it to maximise battery life (I avoided SmartSwitch,I debloated, no AOD and I use Light performance mode). I did a factory reset today hoping it will finally bring real good performance.

I have constantly monitored the battery performance from the day I made this post. And found that when I use everything standard without compromising with the experience like AOD and adaptive refresh rate, Bluetooth etc. I can only get 4-4:30 hours of SOT. But with conservative use it easily crosses 5-6 hrs SOT. I think the battery is very sensitive to temperature also.

I had my doubts about this phone but, after my factory reset, all I can say is : I was wrong, my doubts were cleared. This evening, I was at 60% with 4 hours of SOT and 22 hours had passed since I last charged it. What kind of sorcery is this? I'm really happy to see those numbers. My old crappy S22 would be at 20% with a similar usage pattern.

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.
