Did anyone see the chris nacca video about the HTC one M8 battery life...it have 2600mah 300mah more than us...and he manage to get 6hours sot...not the sot that you see on g+ or here the one that we let the screen on for 6 hours...how is this possible...from LG G2 with 3000mah i can get it...but how htc do it....

There are plenty here who also use the Nexus 5 and can achieve that. Granted it might be light to medium usage (no heavy gaming). But 6+hours is certainly possible.
As for how the HTC can achieve this...for a start it has a more efficient chip. I recommend the Anandtech review to explain it.
You can compare this phones to as many other phones as you like, some will be better, some worse. The usage and 'testing' patterns are always different...
There are too many variables to judge 'battery life' universally on any device though. Technology is always developing, so next year will be even better, you'll feel worse again. It's hard, but you have to just stop comparing, let it go sometimes...

Dude come on...your use your phone on what??whats up??nothing more??no browser and not even a single phone call...i dont care about this SOTS...usages means use your phone...pure usage at me means use your phone without games...not just whats up
Everyone's usage is different.
I don't make many (if any) phone calls and that is my main usage.
I use my phone for listening to music to and from work, web browsing and xda throughout the day and come night time it's mainly used as a remote control for my media centers. And I usually get about 6 hours of screen time over 2 days on a single charge.
My brother also has a nexus 5 thanks to me. If he doesn't play games his battery will easily last him 4 days on a single charge on his usage.
So as said usage numbers mean nothing as everyone's usage is different

If you can use your phone normaly of course without games and can get 6hours sot then nexus 5 has 6 hours sot...but for me i can't get pass 3h sot with difficult...but the point isnt how much sot can nexus 5 have...but how htc one can get 6hour sot and we have to use our phone at the minimal to achive this

At a high level the 801 is a frequency bump enabled by a 28nm HPm process push, giving it a tangible increase in performance (and potential decrease in power consumption) compared to the outgoing Snapdragon 800"

You are completely contradicting yourself...
You know that usage patterns are different from user to user..but apparently we ALL know its about 3h SOT???? I'm sorry this makes no sense....you cannot just judge everyone else's battery life...
It's impossible to even define what is 'normal' usage....for some it's gaming, others none, but whatsapp doesn't count apparently...
If you're getting such low times, then it's something to do with your usage or what you have installed, or you have a faulty unit. No need to assume how 'bad' it must be for every user...

The laws of physics ....the HTC has a larger battery and more efficient chip
But I got back to my first reply. If you constantly compare then you'll never be satisfied. You could get this device now, then next year the same thing happens...
Let....it....go....
Check my stats.
Usage includes other than those on stats watsapp, chrome, youtube and dead trigger was on high graphics.
Anyways I think Li-pro battery instead of Li-ion might help it to get that juice with the 300mah extra battery. Obv 801 is a refined processor than 800.
So in totality there can be many things contributing to that battery life.
But damn that's pretty good battery life on Htc one.
Great job done by their dev.
That's not surprising considering that the HTC one m7 could get up to 4-4.5 hrs sot. That's what my colleague gets on his phone. All comes in the optimization of the phone.

He actually thinks anyone getting 6 hours SoT with the N5 has their phone idled with the screen on.
News flash: N5 is one of the most efficient phones to date. 6 hours SoT is easily attainable even with moderate usage. Light usage I'm looking at 8.5 hours SoT stock unrooted from yesterday.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7517/google-nexus-5-review/3
Also if someone were to idle with the screen on the SoT could go 20+ hours. Lastly, battery pages don't tell you a full story. By the time you reach 10% most app usage won't even show.

Be careful when using terms like "at best". He stretched it even further by having airplane mode on and I'm assuming low brightness, lol. Not something I'd suggest wasting a charge cycle on though.
The thing to remember is battery life varies greatly. There is no average SoT because there is no average usage case. That's why we rely on unbiased reviews like from Anandtech who go the extra mile to compare phones with the same settings and exact same brightness levels, as measured in Nits.
The OP would have you believe he has the true usage scenario and everyone else is simply cheating their battery stats.

Since the international one X owners have their own thread for battery life, I figured we deserve one too .
If you have a sec, why not post some screenshots of your battery usage/display specifics and describe what your usage is like? Be sure to mention whatever you have done to improve your battery life!
Unfortunately I haven't picked my one x up yet so I cannot contribute, but soon!
Just got mine... Before you ask, yes, I am an at&t employee... So far my battery life seems decent... I will say that yesterday my battery life was awesome... Pulled 20 hours of moderate use before I hit 5%. I'm going to really push it today and I'll report back soon...

Helpful hint...
One person's "moderate" can be another person's "light." Post screen caps (when possible) when reporting your battery life. Also, without doubt, the display is the number one consumer of battery so you should post a shot of your display on time too.

The screen on time should be posted too, That could be 3 hours of screen time, or 30 minutes.
Rogers HTC One X.
This is my stats after 2nd full charge on the brand new device.
Sorry forgot to take the screen of graph before I started the third charge, but it still shows the usage during 2nd charge..
Edit:
The longer chunks of screen on time were YouTube video playbacks.
This is on my first charge, so things might not be too accurate.

any chance you'd post a picture or two of it? I'm curious what the AT&T version ended up looking like.
5 hours of screen on time is pretty epic! I hope this is the standard and not an outlier.
I know the phone has a large display, but it's not the actual display that uses so much power on the international version. It's not entirely clear what exactly "Display" encompasses in the battery stats screen, but the international version can sustain the display for over 10 hours on a single charge. So perhaps GPU usage is also included in the "Display" category.
In any case, over 5 hours screen on time is a heartening statistic.

Nope. Typically it's mid to high 3ish with 12-15ish hours per charge cycle. Some people have done better by deactivating anything that uses power but, to me, that's a useless benchmark. And I'm assuming bebolf's results were using the phone as normal with LTE off. If that's using LTE streaming YouTube than praise the Lord, we have ourselves a miracle.
My international version is getting about 20-30% less time on per charge being used exactly the same as my former i9100. It seems to be improving with cycles but I'm not expecting a miracle. People truly underestimated what Qualcomm was able to do with the S4. Its weakest link though is graphics so we'll have to see how that plays out after you guys have had some time to play with it.

There is another question of performance. If the international has 2 hrs less screen time but able to perform tasks twice faster as a result of having 2 extra cores then its not as straight forward as it first seems. Antutu already showed that the one x is up over 60% faster than the xl. This could translate into faster loading of applications, webpages and applications that takes significantly less time to process. In the end you may not need as much screen time on the one x compared to the xl.

Is it just me, or is the nexus 5's battery way too sub-par? I came from an HTC one, which in terms of battery life, isn't the best, but the nexus 5 makes the One look like the razer ultra, I mean I could get through a full day of moderate/heavy usage (5:30AM to 6:10PM), but with the nexus 5, it goes to around 30% by 4:00, and dies around 5:00. And yes, I put on airplane mode/wifi-off anytime I can. Is there any kernel/mod I can flash to make the battery life a little more bearable, or will I have to return it and get myself the new Droid Maxx? (No rom, as I like to keep it stock)

OK coming from a Galaxy S (1) 4G. I'm not too disappointed with this phone's battery. Yes, it is not the best. But I have noticed that it must be KitKat, not the phone, since the phone's battery should be about 75% of the LG G2's battery, and the G2 has a bit bigger screen and more crap features such as Double Tap 2 Wake and a bunch of other battery hogging features built into the phone. And that thing's battery lasts about twice as long as this phone's battery, which is a bit odd. So i'm definitely saying KitKat is still a bit(very) buggy, and it should be fine in a few months time since the two phones (G2 and N5) should equalize with battery life since there isn't too much battery hogging crap on the N5. I'm using Franco's kernel on stock, and I must say, with pretty decent use, my phone is somewhere between 70 and 85 percent battery in 8 hours. (that is if I may check XDA and facebook a few times), go through a bunch of dead/low signal zones, maybe play 10 minutes of asphalt 8, and maybe use Chrome Beta for a few minutes to browse something. I may also make a few calls/texts in that time. I must say, that I haven't really tested android 4.4.2's life too much compared to 4.4, but I'm getting better life on 4.4.2. On the low end of the spectrum, if I play asphalt 8 for 30-40 minutes. I'll be down to 40-50% by the end of the 8 hour period. I agree that it may look a bit intimidating to see 5% percent battery at the end of 15 hour period, but by then, the day will be pretty much over and you'll have time to charge your phone. If you're a 'round the clock person such as a doctor and need your phone at odd intervals, you can always keep a qi/battery pack charger. Also I find the charge time on this phone quite impressive. I can charge my phone from 30-100 percent in very little time. I'm not exactly sure, but maybe an hour or 2 or less. Also this phone is very graphically extensive and with the extremely dense display, it will probably use more battery than an older phone with less resolution.

How much SOT do you have at 30% battery life? Do you have widgets galore, push e-mail (Gmail, Yahoo etc...), screen brightness set to Auto or full brightness (auto screen brightness is very aggressive on the N5 in terms of keeping it very bright even in should be toned down). You should take a screen shot of your SOT and battery life summary so all of us can see what is eating your battery.

Wow, very strange. I'm getting the BEST battery life out of all my phones from the N5. It will go at least 24 hours with average use and my SOT is about 5 hours. With light use it'll go 36 - 48 hours no problem.
HOWEVER, this was only on Android 4.4. When I upgraded to 4.4.2, the battery life went to ****. And I'm pretty sure I know why: when I run System Tuner Pro and watch the CPU throttling screen, it is showing that the "min" CPU frequency doesn't go below 1036 Mhz, EVEN IF I set the CPU min to 300 Mhz in SetCPU or System Tuner itself - the OS sets it back to 1036 Mhz (and sometimes 1.2Ghz) after a couple seconds. WTF?! It's like the kernel or Android is overriding my CPU clock settings. No wonder the battery life went to hell - a phone isn't supposed to be running at almost 1Ghz when sleeping!
I downgraded back to 4.4 from one of my backups and watched the CPU screen in that version. And sure enough, the CPU is allowed to drop to 300 Mhz like it should.So idk WTF Google did with the 4.4.2 version, but it's definitely a bug. And I think it's in the kernel, or at least somewhere in the original AOSP source, since CyanogenMod 11 (with the 4.4.1 version) has the same issue.
Just factory reset clean phone barely any apps now. Will report my findings tomorrow

Is it just me, or is the nexus 5's battery way too sub-par? I came from an HTC one, which in terms of battery life, isn't the best, but the nexus 5 makes the One look like the razer ultra, I mean I could get through a full day of moderate/heavy usage (5:30AM to 6:10PM), but with the nexus 5, it goes to around 30% by 4:00, and dies around 5:00. And yes, I put on airplane mode/wifi-off anytime I can. Is there any kernel/mod I can flash to make the battery life a little more bearable, or will I have to return it and get myself the new Droid Maxx? (No rom, as I like to keep it stock)

Franco Kernel = Cure
The battery is fine. There is a nasty bug in the OS or modem that causes very bad drain. It's been present since release (4.4). Still working to find the cause and a proper fix.

Im on Franco r20 and CM11. battery is at 64% with 58 minute screen on time and 7 hour 23 minutes total. No gaming no nothing because I'm scared the battery will die.

Just go Franco alone. Its probably cm11 rom
I've been running franco + purity and battery life is much better compared to stock.
I mean, I'm getting >24 hours of battery life with moderate usage.
Hi All
I'm set with money ready to buy the Nexus 5 ( 32 GB ) or Z1 Compact
And I wonder how well the battery of the N5 performs in real life
Because...when I buy the N5 I don't plan to leave it at 2.26Ghz...in fact I even plan to underclock it to 1.7Ghz ( Because Xperia Z has a 5" and is clocked at an even lower speed and still performs well )
And I'm a light user...who never or rarely uses Wi-FI and am always on 2g ( I never use 4G or 3G ) and always on 5-10% Brightness I also plan to remove all bloatware ( except Google Now ) my phone usually sits on bed and I only get it out to watch some 720p Vids then it rests again
Could I get a day or two out of it and is the "Camera Draining the battery issue" fixed on the 4.4.2 Update?
and finally i just wonder up to now why Z1c gets higher scores than N5 I mean N5 is clocked at higher speeds could this be the effect of Thermal Throttling
Thanks alot :good:
Please Help

Well, nexus 5 will give you a day backup easily according to your usage
The camera bug is not yet fixed, but there are rumors for 4.4.3 update which gonna fix it and gonna release soon
You need to fairly choose between fast updates(nexus and gpe series) or more hardware features (all other smartphone)
If you are interested in rooting and customizing stuff, then you will get plenty of those in nexus 5
Even my usage is similar like you, I use 3G, I do get one day battery backup
I hope it helps you

I'm not 100% sure on the compacts specs but my friend has the Z1. It's exactly the same processor and clock speed. Apart from the camera is awesome and it's waterproof. But u get a crappy sony ui. And Sony updates (which to be fair it has just received 4.4.2) but in my past experience of owning Sony's as soon as their next phone is released they forget about the previous.
The nexus on the other hand is far smoother and faster to use and WILL get all the latest Android releases first and always. And no bloatware. Just fast smooth simple Android
I was deciding between the two before I got my Nexus, and to be fair i don't think I'd have been disappointed in either.
And yes you can easily get 2 days out of the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Ahh because I was a bit skeptical since I checked the GSMarena website and battery endurance was at 40H and Z1c is like 65H
How about the overheating issues?

From what you describe as your usage I can see it lasting a day no problem, perhaps 36 hours, maybe more if you let the battery go down far. My Nexus 5 typically burns from 100% to 70% over 10 hours from when I leave to when i get back from work, and thats on 4G/3G with decent to fair signal, bluetooth on, wifi on, and brightness all the way up, with texting on and off through the day. With minimum texting once I made it around 85-88%, little over 1% an hour.
That's great to know since I even plan to Underclock the phone and leave the other connection options off at most times
As for Google Now without net would it still work or just show "Cannot Reach Google at the moment"

I would say most people running on stock everything will NOT get the stats you're getting.
About 3-4 SOT is about average I would think, and that is with brightness at a lower setting. Don't give users a false sense of security, as your stats are far from the norm...

3-4 SoT hours is already more than most phones could hope for.
6-8 hours SoT is achievable on stock, with lighter usage and mostly WiFi. I wouldn't say it's misleading to expect 6 hours SoT as that seems to be what most users on here are settling down with.
Edit for obligatory proof: Take today for instance, 3 hours SoT with 54% battery remaining. Heavy data usage and loss of signal included. Stock and unrooted.

It shows what is possible. And the battery life thread can show anyone how to do it. Its not hard. Turn stuff off. Toggle it on when you actually truly need it. It isn't that inconvenient.
Yes, you are right about the average times ...the problem is some, like a person in this thread we all should know, complain and complain and complain about their 3 hours screen time. Meanwhile, everything is on, they're gaming, using auto brightness in the sunshine...etc...etc...
As you said, 3 to 4 SOT is average I'd say. If that disappoints anyone....do something about it....there's a battery thread full of help....or sell the phone and buy one with a huge battery that can handle everything on and give you more hours.

That's true, on wifi, the battery life really shines. Out in the real world, with varying signal strength, I would put the average around 3-4 SOT with everything on however.

Yes, there are many tweaks that can be done to improve battery life, but stock for stock, it is only average in my opinion.
First of all sorry if the same thread is already here... I did alot of searching... I asked alot of ppl in here or in g+ searched google and I still have no answer for my problem...
About my problem now... I'm having this for along time... Not quite sure how long...
I was never the user who posts screenshots saying how my n5 lasts 5h sot... My max was 3h...
So for a very long time I'm struggling with my battery life.. It's great while the phone sleeps but when you open the screen my torture begins...
I have try alot of thinks.... Asop roms.... Caf roms... Stock kernels... Custom kernels... Caf kernels... And still nothing....
I just keep getting a lot of Android system drain... While I'm looking my apps non of them.. Expect our battery beloved Facebook... Drains battery... But while I'm looking the statistics tab on battery widget I found out that system_server and surfaceflinger usage was not extremely big... Considering that their usage is 15-20mins on 10h battery cycle... But still their drain on battery stats was equal to 2hour sot...
I didn't find any solution to that... I disable locations... I use only gps... Or only wifi/data always with location report and location history off...
I remove alot of apps... I even remove google play music cause I saw a wakelock with 0% drain but with 300 starts... Nothing... I hit a dead end... So anyone is willing to help I will be thankful....

How strong is your signal during your most of your SoT? If you have a weak signal then pretty much forget about those insane SoT times.
1. how is you signal?
2. what do you keep your brightness at?
Try going in wifi > advanced options > disable wifi always on
Disable google's network location too (only use hardware GPS)
I'm on latest nightly of cyanogenmod with elementalX (750 uv, 2572Mhz max)
And I get this battery, SoT and AnTuTu score (Attachments)
His signal was actually pretty good as seen in the graph screenshot.
Voice calls and gaming will drain the battery fairly quickly. Try not to reboot while on battery if possible, and pair down auto syncs and other background drains.

As the post above says, looks good.
You're doing a lot of battery draining things ....calls, games.... Location services is on....3 to 4 hours screen time is about as good as you're gonna see with this sorta usage.
If you want 5 or 6 hours screen time like some....you'd have to make hardly any calls, don't play games, keep your screen dim, turn off location services completely... Etc. Etc. That's how I'm setup, and always get 6 hours plus screen time and 24 hours plus total. But some people don't want to setup like this....so with "everything on", games, calls..... 4 hours screen is about the max....in 16 hours or so total perhaps.
So again.....you have no issue. Its just how you use your phone.

Remember, these stats do not show the percentage of your full battery being used. It's not 20% of 100% of your battery. These stats show a percentage breakdown of your used battery.
So if your battery is at 80% and you used 20% of your battery, these stats add up to 100% of that used 20%
These stats will always add up to 100% it can never be less so sometimes it's not worth worrying so much about how that 100% is distributed. If you didn't use the phone at all, you would likely see only a few items. Possibly only 2. Cell standby and Android OS and they would add up to 100% - cell 20, Android OS 80 for example. These stats are not indicative of drain. It just means you haven't used much of the other functions enough to lower it.
The more you use a single element (eg screen) the more that element will dominate, reducing everything else. If your phone enjoys varied use, everything will even out more
The % of Android os doesn't necessarily mean drain. What you need to look at is whether the phone lasts as long as expected and to me it seems it does

I was using my phone as usual, until I noticed that the battery haven't gone done for long, it lasted longer that usual.
No, power save mode was on.
No, greenify.
No cpu control to drop down the cpu freq.
This was on normal use.
I don't know how my phone did this, but yeah.
I took the first ss at 4%, after this, the phone went on to be on 4% for 15 min when screen was on the whole time until it dropped on 3%.

Although I was using instagram, whatsapp, snapchat, browser and internet as usual.
And it took 25 mins to completely shut down.
So the phone gave me approx 9 Hours of SOT.
I am not sure how this happened. But it did.
The same phone use to give me 4 hours on Android 5.1.1
Then 6 hours on Android 6.0
But now it gave 9 hours.
That's it I'm RMAing this phone I get like 2 hours sot with amplify, greenify and powernap and even less without that. Now I know this is not normal. I am weary of dealing with Moto customer service but I guess there is no avoiding it jow

No buddy dont use so many apps they interfere with Doze and other MM features. I tried using greenify my battery dropped. Then I removed 'greenify' and 'prevent running' from my phone I also used to use setCPU to drop the freq when the screen was off but that to hogging my battery, I guess that happened because it had to change the freq many times.
I removed setCPU too.
This was without any battery saving app.
Try doing that.
Unbelievable!

That's fairly average. I usually get between 4-5. You'll never see 9 hours and the probability of anyone else seeing it is about 0. I have no reason to be glued to my phone for 9 hours so I'm very happy with 4-5. Even that's more than I need to be on it.

No offense, but I wouldn't call 9 hours of SOT over a period of 12 hours "on and off use". That's great that you got 9, its just unreasonable for everyone to expect that...even 7-8 hours. Yet, after seeing this, many will.
While this is certainly cool, but it's not very useful if it's not reproducible on other phones.
I have one lingering suspicion: your battery protection system may not be working correctly. Usually, a good amount of the phone's battery is set aside to prevent under and over charge. If those limitations were removed, you could get much longer battery life, at the expense of your long term battery health. I'm probably wrong, but just throwing that out there.
On the other hand, depending on how you use the phone, 9 hours may not be exceptional. I can easily get that amount while reading E-books at 20% brightness, for example. (Google Play Books uses almost no CPU). I can get about 7 browsing with Opera Mini (low CPU because page is rendered offsite).
I would have liked to see your detailed battery graph. You can get to it by tapping the battery graph in the normal battery view. The graph will expand and underlay it with line graphs showing what your radio conditions, wifi, etc. are like. So pretty please, if it happens again, please grab a screenshot of that too.
Also, what have you done to you phone? Can you describe your configuration in detail? I can't reproduce it because I'm unrooted, but perhaps someone else can.

None taken, seeing that would make you think so, and yeah I agree I was using my phone for a long time in that 12 hours, but the 9 hours SOT is only because I don't switch off my screen often, like If I am not doing anything on the phone and if its lying on the table or somewhere its on most of the times.
Also, I agree its unreasonable, but if I could find out the reason for this I would surely let all of you know and that would be great, atleast that's what I think.
I normally used to get 6-7 hours SOT, but even if it goes up by an hour it would helpful for people.
Peace.

I have rooted the phone, I have removed some apps, which I didnt want.
Moto features are off.
But other than that I havent touched the system for battery improvements.
Also I have not removed any limitations as such.
This 9 hours was sudden.
After a long usage I realised the battery didnt go down.
So I took the battery reading and also took screenshots.
And yes, this I took a screenshot of the detailed battery graph too.
After this now I am getting 8 hours SOT.
I'll give it to you...that's impressive...especially with your signal in the red the entire time. A poor cell signal is a huge battery drain.
As you can see not everyone uses their this way. He for most of the time was basically on his phone. Average person won't do that. But good to know what pretty much can be the max on this phone
What was your screen brightness set at approximately?
I think chrome definitely serves as a huge battery hog. Don't see that on your charts, so I think it can contribute some as well.
Wow this is crazy
I only get 4h OS SOT mix 3g and Wi-Fi i don't know why

That's 100% normal. His experiences are an outlier.

None taken, seeing that would make you think so, and yeah I agree I was using my phone for a long time in that 12 hours, but the 9 hours SOT is only because I don't switch off my screen often, like If I am not doing anything on the phone and if its lying on the table or somewhere its on most of the times.
Also, I agree its unreasonable, but if I could find out the reason for this I would surely let all of you know and that would be great, atleast that's what I think.
I normally used to get 6-7 hours SOT, but even if it goes up by an hour it would helpful for people.
Peace.

There's no mystery to it you already know the reason you got 9 hours, it's in your first paragraph. When you leave your screen on while your cpu load is basically zero because you're not using your device your battery can last a pretty long time...
People getting 4 hours SOT which is perfectly normal when actually using the device shouldn't be mislead into thinking there's something wrong with their battery life.

Well, that's one usage scenario . Now I know that if I turn off the screen timeout and leave it on a table I can expect 9hrs SOT and 12hrs total runtime. Don't know why I'd ever do that except maybe to start a bragging thread.
I get 4.5-5hrs SOT and 24hrs total runtime in my real life usage on AICP nigthlies. Not great but better than it was on stock LP or MM.

I never said I didnt use my device for long. I said I leave my screen on when I am not using it. But I used the device. Plus my network signal was weak too. That does take a toll on the battery.
Also I didnt mean the reason I get 9 hours SOT is because I leave the screen on, I mean this graph of 9 hours SOT in 12 hours usage was because I left the screen on.
Also I never said anything is wrong with battery of the people who get 4 hours SOT. Everybody including me is saying its perfectly normal.
