6-7 hours on LTE with medium to heavy usage sounds about right.

Read my previous thread. I never used DATA. I have Everything off except wifi. Thats HORRIBLE battery what are you talking about? I never said Moderate to heavy usage. Never use LTE.
What was the reason they gave you for not warrantying the phone?
EDIT:
Oh. You bought it in December and there's really no obvious defect. Why would they? You had 30 days to gripe about the battery life and didn't.

Sorry to hear about that. It may be that you do have something wrong with your phone. To be sure, give Juice Defender a try and see if that helps your battery life.

Yeah. My previous thread. About my battery problems. Don't post if you aren't gonna answer my question... Just saying.
I have had a battery replaced, I've reverted to stock rom, updated, etc, done everything I can, every fix etc. I can't get near the 30 hour battery lifes I can see. Why would I get 6 hours MAXIMUM no talk time, 400-500 texts a day, data lte and gps and bluetooth off, brightness down. Thats pathetic battery. Idk what else to do.
The reason Given for not replacing is that is the average battery use. But on the specs it reports 7 hours of TALK TIME.

Why would you expect me to read a previous thread that you did not link to? I answered your question based on the information you gave in THIS thread based on my own experience. I responded to your question, it just wasn't the answer you wanted.

How long would your battery last with data on? Whenever I leave
wifi on, my battery drains. For everything else, it lasts the whole
day without charge on moderate to heavy use with lte.
Maybe try your luck with a different att rep?
With my previous skyrocket, I would easily get 14 + hours.

Relax. He's only offering some information to help you. The battery life on your phone is on par for that device. I have the original Galaxy S II and I average about 8-9 hours with heavy use, and an entire day with normal use. Just about all dual core CPU Android based super phones are going to have mediocre battery life. That's just the way it is. You can always get an extended battery, which should give you an additional 3-4 hours of useage. Aside from that, there's not much you can do about it.
What exactly do you expect us to do for you? You've tried other ROMS, a different battery, lowering the brightness, etc. If they sent you another battery, that means you have two batteries now. That should be plenty to get you through the day. You could always try trading the Skyrocket for a Galaxy S II, which is a better phone anyways as it has the Exynos CPU and slightly better battery life.
BTW, 400-500 texts per day is a LOTof screen on time, which would e plain the 7 hour battery life. And leaving WiFi on will also kill ypur battery life. WiFi is a huge power hog. My guess as to why AT&T refuses to swap your device is because you rooted it and installed custom ROMS. (which voids the warranty). And believe me, they know if you did that because they check the custom ROM counter.

what is your screen on time? You sound like you use your phone slightly less than i do. Im lucky to get 5hrs out of my phone. Been this way with every smart phone ive had since the original droid.....and ive had a lot. 400-500 texts means your screen is on every couple of minutes.

I would agree with this. Display time is a huge battery drain. In fact, it's usually my largest battery drain (even more than LTE).
If you only turn on Wifi when it's available, then you will save battery because Wifi is more power efficient than 3G/4G. Otherwise, it will drain battery searching for a network. This also means if you use NO data, then turning off Wifi completely will save power.

Turning on and off your phone that many times will do it in six hours.
to add---talk time assumes the screen is off for that time.
Call them back again and tell them that now your phone got hot and then shut off. say that you used your friends skyrocket battery to see if device still worked and it didnt. they will send a new one.
make SURE you tell them that it just got hot, and shut off. now it wont turn on at all.
Also, if the person you are talking to wont help you just say fine, hang up, call back. still doesnt work? repeat.
Im really not joking. just the other day i had to call them 3 times just to send me a replacement device.
Good Luck!

Hi I have HTC Sensation, and 1,5 ghz kernel, dar forest rom. And I calibrate battery, and I am after few cycles, becouse some says that after flashing new rom, u must wait a couple o cycle to battery to be good. And my battery last about 19 hour with about 3,5 hour screen on. Is it good or bad, and what can I do if its bad
Hi,
If you are using a data plan and sync data, try increasing the frequency interval or use manual sync. Saves Battery.
Good or bad?
But, how do you guys think is it good battery life, medium or bad?
Its average

I'd agree with average. One thing you can do is install 'CurrentWidget' from the Android market and place the widget on your homescreen. Change the refresh interval to 10 seconds, turn the screen off and then wait around a minute for the phone to settle. After a while, turn the screen on again and look at the reading the widget gives. It should be around 3-5mA (that's what I get on my HD2). If it isn't you may want to try turning off different wireless things and anything you think may cause high battery drain. Turning off background data is a MUST, you have to turn it back on to use the market but with background data off I get 3-5mA whilst with it on I get around 20mA. It doesn't stop you using data, just turns off some unnecessary syncing. Despite the pathetic 1230 mah battery in my HD2, I can easily use it for a whole school day (including music on the way to school and gaming for about 20 mins before registration) and have around 40% left by the end of the day. I charge it every night anyway but it's reassuring to know it can last me that extra day if I need it. Hope this helps
if somtimes play games, music... it's normal but if you sometimes call or sms it's not good
ok
Than what is good?

Try using wifi as often as possible. Also 3g is a much better battery saver than using WiMAX. Also the Tiamat SBC 4.1.0 kernerl is amazing on saving battery life! And it even works with the ICS roms.
19 hours of battery life sounds reasonable to me considering that the sensation is a dual core phone.
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------
Oh and by the way I've recently come across articles that actually say recalibrating (wiping battery stats) your battery doesn't actually do much.
I'd rather try to avoid over charging to prolong your battery life (pull out the charger as soon as it touches 100%) and try to use it til you're out of juice instead of constantly charging.

Battery drains has many situation, as little information you provide, it's hard to figure out how and what makes this happened.
Maybe you can check how many apps running on the background, or services still running while shouldn't run.
Or, tell you what, you also can flash your ROM to a stable one like ARHD's rom.

Friends,
I'm currently using H990DS from Taiwan, normally the phone lasts until 5pm (about 2h30 - 3h screen on). This happened with all my previous devices with promised good battery life like Note 4 or G2. I only installed standard apps like facebook (i know it drained battery), instagram, flipboard...
So yesterday, I did something that today, the battery improved greatly. It's currently at 49% battery with 3h15min screen on, of which over 2h45min of Clash Royale (over wifi)!
So you can try this and maybe it will improve your battery life. I know it work for me, not sure about everyone else.
Step 1: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard
Step 2: On Audio, may be you see the Audio history is Enable. Please disable it. What it does I believe is to turn off Ok Google detection.
Let's report if you have better battery after.
I will try it. Thanks
Will try as well.
I'll give it a go as well.

Day 1: No obvious change, at 50% with about 2 hrs of screen on time, just like before. Although my use case may be odd, since no matter what I've done by the end of the day my phone idle takes anywhere between 10-20% in the battery usage menu. Anyone else seeing this?

I suggest you update all the apps, clear the cache in Smart Cleaning. Then restart the phone.
If you it doesn't get better, I think you should remove the battery for 2 mins. plug it back, charge to 100%, use the phone till 0% then charge to 100% again to see if it gets better

So it's been over a week I think since the last post, I find that under my usage (medium to heavy) I get around 4 hours screen on time consistently. In the picture shown, I had around 55% battery with about 2 hours screen on time. However, what I don't get is the phone idle time battery usage. Just look in the picture and you will see what I mean. Furthermore, for half of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, which makes it even stranger. If anyone else is getting something like this or has any suggestions/requires further info, please let me/us know.

You have been using the phone for 15 hrs or more. Yes you used it for 2 hours SOT but for 13 hrs it was idle, that is why phone idle is the biggest battery drain imho. Anyway try using the mart cleaner, it may help reduce idle time battery usages.
Sot is a horrible reference point. You could be using maps in with the screen off, streaming music with the screen off. There's all kinds of things while the screen is off that can consume battery. If your phone can get you through most of the day without a charge you're good. Stop putting so much emphasis on sot..

My point was that Android 7.0 nougat and updated doze have been giving people great standby times, like 1 or two percent gone overnight, without airplane mode too. Compared to my experience, that seems massively different. I was simply wondering if what I had was normal for my LG V20.

Yeah cell standby drain is high even for me right now. I had it on normal U11 but it didn't affect usage.

5 hours SOT is not great for me, at least from this big a battery, it should be a comfortable 5 hours not just barely.
I have identified the biggest culprit. it is location services. on battery saver it consumed 15% overnight. if I turn it off it was only 4%.I am testing a few other options. tonight I will check how high accuracy affects it, then location history if it does not solve it
Today, mobile network standby absolutely destroyed my battery. It used 40% of my battery.

Do you leave mobile data on overnight?
Could be that its swopping from 4g/3g constantly which can kill your battery.
could try changing the sim modes by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer? experiment under phone info, set preferred network type.

Setting to 3g only for example didn't really change much.
Also it seems that your U11+ may not be going into deep sleep. I don't always have wifi/data on all the time and overnight my battery drain is only 2 to 3% as stated in previous post and mobile network standby was 30%. But it's currently on 4% so not sure what the difference is...
HTC haven't solved this issue since U11…Maybe needed more people to report this bug or HTC won't do anything for this
In developer options try turning off always on data. It's an Oreo feature but seems an unnecessary drain on battery.

only affects WiFi usage
I think I solved the issue.
I usually only use data, leave location on (battery saver mode without wifi scanning, Google location history enabled).
the thing that likely solved it for me was to reset the network settings.
Settings/System/Reset/Network settings reset
it goes to sleep properly I get 1-2% drain overnight.
alternatively somebody mentioned that clearing cache for sense home might do it as we. I did it both, and no longer have the issue (for 3 days, right now I am turning stuff back on to see if it might be something else)
if someone has the issue and tries it, let me know if this is an actual solution for you
Will want to see actual confirmation though with battery stats after a full day otherwise these claims are moot
Not saying you're lying, but evidence always helps rather than text lol

here's the past 4 days
I am not sure why GSam only saved 4 days, I was running it for more. bot on the first day I still had the issue, and since then I was trying to fix it.
the only 2 other things that I can think of what solved the battery drain was that I do not just throw the phone on my chair, but lay it on a flat surface, or that due to the holidays the cell reception around my area was worse, and that was the one draining the battery and causing the low reception. if I check now, the cell strength is exactly the same, but in GSam in cell usage I had a lot more Low showing up. after a reset, this seems to have been solved

I am not sure why GSam only saved 4 days, I was running it for more. bot on the first day I still had the issue, and since then I was trying to fix it.
the only 2 other things that I can think of what solved the battery drain was that I do not just throw the phone on my chair, but lay it on a flat surface, or that due to the holidays the cell reception around my area was worse, and that was the one draining the battery and causing the low reception. if I check now, the cell strength is exactly the same, but in GSam in cell usage I had a lot more Low showing up. after a reset, this seems to have been solved

Interesting, either way at least it is solved for you.
What is your mobile network drain % like in stock battery settings menu before your daily charge?
Getting fine screen on time, but bad standby time. I left my phone idle for more than 10 hours, and everything looks fine...but I'm draining more than 2% per hour doing nothing! When I use the phone normally, idle drain is closer to 3%, with still not specific problem that can be seen. On Oreo stable, it was around 1.5%, which is still bad compared to my iPhone, but not unbearable. I had no SIM installed because it was in my iPhone, but with or without makes no noticeable difference.
Advanced optimization, sleep standby optimization AND adaptive battery also make no noticeable difference in ANY combination on and off.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edit: You might also notice the VPN icon, it's not a normal VPN (with active, keep-alive connection), but a proxy for those of us living in China. Again, I've tested on or off, no difference, and you can't see it in wakelocks or processes.
and kernel wakelocks?

My bad.
Did you try turning off the WiFi scanning?

Off by default I believe. It's off for me.
I need those pictures after let's say 6 hours of standby. I need to see standby usage only. So make a custom mark when you go to bed and then take the SS

That is standby. SoT is like 2 minutes.

Get another over night stats for better understanding...

I don't understand. This is 11 hours of stats idle, on my table at home, with no one touching it. This is no different from ide overnight on my bedside table except total time. I have gathered overnight stats many times with exactly the same results as what's shown here trying to figure out what's wrong.
Could also be a bad WIFI, seen this before for some 5ghz networks.
Is bbs being optimized in battery settings?
try 2.4ghz wifi if you can (where you have good connection, OR just turn wifi off, so we can rule that out the equation.)
make sure better battery stats is NOT being optimized
and try one more time.

Thanks for those suggestions. I hadn't tried switching to 2.4ghz or un-optimizing better battery stats. Unfortunately, there is no noticeable difference yet again. Turning Wifi off totally used to help a bit in Oreo, but hasn't made any difference at all in Pie.
Having the same issue too. Idle drain is fairly high on pie. Wakelocks are pretty clean too. I'm convinced it's something Google related or it's just the system isn't all that optimized as they want us to believe

Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a little better. Most people on the internet complaining about Pie drain of course has no idea how to actually check anything beyond Android stock battery stats, so there's no way to corroborate.
I noticed that beta 4 has " * Optimized standby power consumption " listed as a system fix. But I don't want to clean flash in and then clean flash out of beta yet again because all of them have had such horrible touch latency that dozens of users are complaining about. But I'm almost tempted to try it.
Can anyone on beta 4 chime in?

I'm on beta 4, first dirty flash and I had 0.3%/hour
I cleanflashed few days back,no root,locked bootloader. I loose 4% in 7hrs 30 minutes. So it's ok.. with GPS,wifi bluetooth on.
Touch latency is like stable pie.
i flashed the ob4 and wait to see battery consumption how it goes! i did'nt lose any files or settings

Thanks for the feedback! But 0.3% / hour? I'm skeptical. I'm not sure that any Android phone has ever been that low draining, ever. Certainly not in my years of experience. I don't think that's possible even with no apps installed. You can't post any wakelock details because you're not rooted... Maybe post a screenshot of your battery usage graph, please?

I have posts in the battery thread with BBS.
I had the same with my S7 edge.. so you can doubt all you want,I really don't care. Will post picture with an edit when I find it.

Well, I stand corrected. I have no idea what perfect storm of perfect conditions is represented here to get standby drain to near-iOS levels of amazingness, but that's impressive.

Thanks. I feel like I'm being really lucky with this device tho.
I will get my root on today, clean flash again and I will just set it up and see where it lands. But I thought no what saves my battery the most is really good reception. The antenna is around 100meters (300 feet) from my house, WiFi is on point aswell (best on 2.4ghz)
So, like I said the bootloader got unlocked, root is on again so everything is fresh.
The smart battery didn't even have time to read apps that's draining battery this is standby usage with stock settings from OnePlus,without any optimizations. Im counting on adaptive battery that it will do its thing after a day or two.
I have around 20 apps installed but the ones that matter for battery is Telegram, instagram, steam.
