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?

Non-stop 10 hours gaming...

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.

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.

Battery performance of Moto G5s plus

Hi,
I want to understand battery performance of Moto G5s plus. I am seeing that battery life of my phone is very poor. It goes down to 70% from 100% in an hour with just usage of YouTube.
When i received my cell phone i haven't full charge it's battery before starting it. I have full charged my battery when it was 40% remaining. While the official manual says that, we need to full charge it before starting our cell phone.
Does Moto G5s plus need full charge of battery before start (when we are starting our phone just after unboxing)?
Anyone have similar issue?
How's battery life holding for others?
Thanks,
Abhishek

My phone's battery drained 12% for three and a half hour screen use (browsing, messenger etc. and Mortal Kombat - only 20 mins, though). The screen is almost at the least brightness.
I too faced q similar issue as yours. Turned out it was because of some app Battery HD or DNS something app (used to block ads) or maybe some other third-party app. I uninstalled all those and the performance improved significantly.
Give it a try.

I got 11 hours from 100% with 5 hours screen-on time

Did you full charge your phone before you switch it ON for the first time?

I would check for a rogue app draining the battery. I've had the phone for a week now and the shortest SOT I've had was 3hrs. That was with streaming music through Bluetooth while driving for 13hrs. My average ok normal day has been 5hrs with 35 percent left on battery.

No issues with battery life here. I didn't fully charge my device when I first unboxed it. Matter of fact, I didn't charge it until that night.
I've had this device since Saturday, so it's hard to say exactly how well battery life is exactly, but based on what I've seen so far...it's pretty damn good. I took it off the charger 5 hours ago and it currently says I have 2 days left. I haven't used it much today as I'm at work, but I have a feeling something isn't right with your setup [emoji848]

Being nobody else has posted any screenshots, figured I'd show mine [emoji6]

No. Instead, I used it until the battery discharged to 0. Then I charged it to 100 and used it till the battery drained to 0. Did the same like thrice. I really doubt such a thing had any effect on battery, though.

Did you try holding it in your left hand, hopping on your right foot, waving it around and around your head, shouting "go battery go go charge"? I reckon it's got as much chance of making a difference as anything else. It's a lithium ion battery - just charge it when you think that you're going to need it to last longer than it would if you didn't charge it, and make sure you fully charge it if you intend leaving it unused for months. Anything else is cargo cult nonsense.

Haha! I only replied to what the OP asked. BTW my intention to drain the battery to 0 before charging was to measure the time it takes to get fully charged from 0.

I had to lol at that. Moved to the Moto from a seriously battery impaired Nexus 6P and that was about the only thing I didn't try.
"Go battery go go charge" is now our household meme for "I have to charge my phone". Thank you.

Yes, you are right. Old batteries needed to full charge before switching it ON for the first. What i find surprising is that Moto is saying the same for new generation batteries and printing it in Manual.

I finally got a fresh new g5s plus and so far I can't complain about the battery life. On my second charge I got 2 days of battery with 8 and a half hour of screen on, but only a few calls, and almost always wifi. The next days I'm using the phone lot heavier with lot of GPS and calls, so we'll see then how it's going but so far I'm very satisfied.
By the way I haven't fully charged the phone out of the box but I've waited untill it was almost fischarged

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

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.

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.
