[Q] Battery life

Can you guys try this?
Set your screen to auto brightness.
Use your phone - web browsing. Now take note of your battery percentage (I use battery dr. so the percentage is on the top of the screen).
When the percentage changes - start timing. Browse primarily white web pages (news etc...).
Time how long before the percentage changes.
Mine is somewhere around 3 minutes (or slightly less). That makes it run around 5 hours (300/60) if it's consistent.
Is this what you guys are getting??? I just put in a new battery and to be honest it seems just like the older battery.
Thanks!!!!

I seem to be consuming 25% of battery in a hour of web browsing (stock battery). So, if you've upgraded to the 2100 mAh One X's battery, everything looks correct.

Thank you. I can't believe how fast this phone burns through the battery. GPS is a killer drain too.
Amazing how many programs start running as well without starting them (Battery Doctor shows me apps using battery).
Oh well.

You have the 2100 mAh battery, don't you?
Yes browsing drains the battery pretty fast. This happens on every smartphone,.though.
About the thousands apps automatically starting, most of them don't drain anything at all, it's not their fault.

No, I have a brand new OEM battery. I'm not sure but I think it's due to the AMOLED screen which just burns through battery when displaying white.
Not every phone burns through battery this fast. The One S is one of the worst. See this pict:

Almost every phone contains a little bit of hardware that can measure the current flow into or out of your battery, in mA or µA. We track this data continuously, but also segment it by screen state (on vs off) and which app was in the foreground. With this data, you can see clearly how your battery was used.
Battery life is probably the most common concern for smartphone users: some are finding it hard to get through a full day on a single charge, others find that after a year or so of use, their battery drains much faster than before, and the issues just keep lining up.
AccuBattery is a relatively new battery life monitor for Android devices (it supports the latest Samsung Galaxy S7s, Google Pixels, and so on) that focuses on accurate battery stats, but also on a research-based suggestion to avoid fully charging your battery.
AccuBattery allows you to set alarm that you actually charge your battery to 80%(Can be modified) and comes with clever tools to let you know when you've reached that level, so that you can unplug. This way, you can get the full 500 cycles(More than 1000, if you charge from 30 to 80 ) out of your battery, until you start to see a noticeable drop in battery life.
I still have my two year old Z2. It still holds battery like a new phone( with slight less capacity due to heat generated due to flashing roms). I used to charge my phone between 25%-80%.​

Press thanks if I've helped you!!:fingers-crossed:

Inspired by AccuBattery I have created a raspberry pi 3 image which can stop charging your phone automatically after it reaches a certain percentage. Works on non-rooted phones.

Apparently, downgrading to Nougat is the only option for now

I turn on data saver and allow few apps like social media that really need a background usage and this helped me to save a lot of battery, i can lose only 3-4% overnight with this. try it and tell me if it works

Pls reply fast

Battery life on any phone is completely subjective and very much depends on the number of apps installed, the type of app and how you use your phone.
Anyone who says "this ROM's battery is great" or "that's ROM's battery is amazing", is only speaking in terms of how they use their phone and what settings are enabled.
The golden rule of battery life is quite simple, the less your phone has to do, the less battery is used its as simple as that.
For example you can have 2 devices running Nougat both with identical apps installed. One phone is used normally throughout the day with auto update apps, screen brightness on 50%, volume on low, Bluetooth on blah blah and its lasts 12 hrs.
The other device is just used for texts and calls, has auto update apps off, screen brightness at 30%, volume at 30% Bluetooth off and it lasts 16 hours.
With all these different variables it is nonsense to suggest one rom is better than another, battery life involves so many variables you simply cannot work it out with any degree of accuracy. Anyone who claims otherwise is tripping.
The slimmest barebones ROM's are lineage and other ASOP ROM's. If you want your battery to last longer start with these ROM's.

Question Battery drain problem (arrowos 11)

I think I'm having some battery drain problems on my Poco X3 Pro.
I've had the phone for 4 months, in December I installed ArrowOS 11, and it had a battery life of about 8hr screen time with wifi, social media, youtube, etc.
After installing an arrowos OTA I think I have seen a degradation in my battery life, now I do not reach 7 hours of screen. And at night it goes down to about 7% in idle. I charge my phone to 100 and let it run down to around 2-3%, I know this reduces battery life but in only 4 months? I have forgotten a couple of times and left it charging overnight, if that, it would have been 2-3 times in all those months. According to Accubattery I have a 90% battery life, I feel that it goes down a lot, but I don't know how reliable it is.
the last picture is from 1 month ago, before installing the OTA update.

Any solutions? Have the same problem

Battery usage can vary from many factors, and not always is about the ROM.
Your usage from the apps are not always the same, and also, apps can be updated to - not always in a good matter of things...
A drop from 8 to 7 hours of SoT is, in reality, nothing. Is inside of the range of values to be expected. The ROM update could have been just a coincidence.
Most of the times, users don't see difference in they activity on the device, but it may be something simple as use the screen in environments with a little more light - and Auto Brightness activated - leading to more bright screens... or just use in general.
still, is a great SoT in both ways. nothing to worry about - and don't panic with such range of SoT, is normal.

With the amount of social apps and crap you have running in the background, ni wonder you drain battery during idle time. Those apps wakelock the device while they connect and do their thing in the background. I have attached my overnight battery loss, with the apps I have installed ( including social stuff like Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber and mail client ).
So, you see, it's not about the ROM... it's about the crap you fill it with. And read up on app broadcast intents. By tweaking those, you can achieve miracles in battery saving.

Question Adaptive Battery performance

While Pixel phones are generally known for creating little interfearance with app perfoamance, in terms of things like managing battery life, I noticed a rather vague option where the OS will improve your phones's battery life by doing things probabbly like sleeping and or ricksting background usage for unused apps and the like.
From what I understand the 7 isn;t the first phone to have this feature as I saw people talking about it ont he 6 series too, though what I was manily wondering is for people who have this turned on or have used it int he past, if they have noticed any issues with some of their apps, such as missed notifactions?
I turned mine off more as a just in case, as comming from Samsung previpously who is nortiorus for being very heavy handed when it comes to their battery savng measures, I'm just wondering how much impact this option has (if any at all), so if it might need to start being listed as a potential problem to check in places such as don't kill my app, or if Google somehow manages to make it a lot less intrusive?
I haven't been able to find any technical infomation on what excatly the feature does to trey and determine just how invavse it might be.

I've never turned it off since it got introduced. No issues at all. It's supposed to learn how you use your phone, so I'd imagine you shouldn't have missed notifications. And if that's the reason my 7 Pro gets it's 8-10+ hours of SoT, I'd keep on using it.

Never turned off and I think that MUST stay on, because the battery life is really good.
Without it would certainly not be so good.

I am using the way adaptive charging tuned off and adaptive battery tuned on
