It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Huawei Nexus 6P before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I get about four hours
Yesterday I got around 5 hours with 30% left. Mostly just on forums, Facebook, etc. Nothing too demanding
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
WIth some gaming, music streaming, and about 15 hours of operation time, I get about 4 hours of Screen On Time with maybe 10-20% left.
Same thing as Nexus 6.
Usually 2 hours for me.
I got 6 hrs yesterday which for me is very good considering I stream video and am on the phone frequently. But normally I get around 5hrs 45 mins.
First complete day ended yesterday 27 hours off the charger 5 hour 26 minutes screen on time (Somewhat light user, lots of messing with the phone installing apps customizing and have gReader pulling down about a 1000 articles a day, reading through all the headlines and diving into about a quarter for more. No calls and light texting maybe 40 messages)
This is amusing. I've had the phone for about a week. Not more than 3 hour to 330 on average use. Once I got 4hours+ but that was when I had the phone mainly on WiFi + aeroplane mode since the mobile signal was weak.
I have no idea how someone could get 5h30min screen time on this phone. (Maybe with screen just on while doing nothing on the phone?)
It has a huge battery so I'm all for blaming Google the stupidity of a 2K screen wasting power.. When iphones with HD display looks gorgeous too. I've no other reason to think of.. My brightness is usually at 20% or so but even then... Almost same as my nexus 5 ..marginally better. But I was expecting a lot more.
I've had the phone since Tuesday and have been getting 4+ SOT consistently. Still trying to figure out ways to optimize battery life, but overall I'm happy. Way better than my S6.
5 hrs SOT with about 1 hour of playing asphalt at 60% brightness, mostly on wifi, google now enabled, brightness range from 20% to 60%., 2 emails synced and refreshes constantly (I get about 40 emails per day).
Without playing Asphalt 6-6.5 hrs SOT.
8:55 SOT, wifi only(radios active but Fi service is not activated yet), mostly texting/messing with phone/couple hours of wifi calls, 20-30% brightness on average, very few apps installed. Battery lasted 16 hours total on that charge(was first full charge since I got phone, ran it down to 5%)
When I use it on a mix of Wi-Fi and 3G/4G I get about 4 hours SOT, on Wi-Fi only I get about 6 hours SOT. I always have bluetooth/wear and location on and brightness set at approx 40%. I'm really impressed, especially with doze ?

I was at 6.5 hours with 20% battery left the other night. Probably could have pushed it close to 8.
I'm at 25 hours of up time right now since my last charge. 4 hours of screen time exactly with 15% left

Battery Life
Description:
What kind of battery life are you getting? Do you enjoy your battery life, or is your battery life killing you?
What is the longest time you have had your battery on without charge? Answer all these question for the
XDA community to see! Whether your a POWER user, or your a conservative user, we want to hear from you
and what your thoughts are! Let us know whether you are rooted or not and let us know if you have heavy
unusual drain. We want to know it all!
Rules:
Please refrain from posting about the "Cell Standby" issue unless it relates to actual battery drain.
Follow all forum rules!
I'm def a heavy user so I usually get between 12-14hrs out of my battery
Maybe the better pole would be screen time? I get at least 4 hours of on screen time.
I am on the stock ROM. Most of the time i can manage 1 - 3 hours of screen time and 8-12 hours of battery life. Its not terrible but my 2 year old iPhone 3GS seemed to manage better when playing music. I use my phone at work and listen to music for about 6 hours a day with power amp. I also live in a heavy LTE area so most of the time I am on LTE and no wifi which just kills the battery. No power saving either.

I'm a pretty HEAVY user. I typically use is in WiFi, but I'm browsing and messaging a LOT and still constantly messing around with customizations since its brand new for me, and I can get about 20 hours out of it.
Not rooted. Apex Launcher Pro. No data-grubbing widgets.
I can't complain about this battery at all. This is some light to moderate use.
Sent from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 2
Light to moderate use yielded this!
im running the blazer rom v1.6 , im getting 14-16hrs of heavy use and usually have about 20% left at the end of the day before putting back on the charger and going to bed. wifi and bluetooth on all day also.
This was with moderate use for me...even with heavy use I get well over 14 hours and that's in an area with pair signal
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Moderate use 14 to 16 hours. I usually kill it while in bed playing with it.
Having said that I find heavy camera usage will kill it quite fast and I will have to recharge mid day. It feels abnormally fast but hard to say for sure.
Wow... how are some of the moderate users getting more than 14 hrs? When I don't use it much I get 24 hrs easy, using JuiceDefender and FreeGS ROM.. If I use it moderately it gets ~12, if I stream music from Pandora for around 4 hours it lasts <10

Guys, I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777226
And yes, I take the subway (to get to work) everyday and notice my battery drains quite rapidely afterwards (7h am to 16h pm without any usage, mainly standby). On weekends, my battery seems to do much better (15-20h moderate usage).
Today I was at 60% at 12h32pm and then 46% at 13h42 without any usage (lte and wifi on, stand by). I rebooted my SG3 at 13h55 while I was at 43%, since then much better, I'm at 40% at 15h12pm.
Anybody experiencing something similar ??

Best battery life on any of my Samsung phones.
Light use, been out with friends. But did a bit of navagation with maps, some forum browsing and quite a bit of texting. But I have to say, much better battery life than the SGS2.:thumbup:
Best battery life of all my Samsung phones so far.
Lasts all day, even with leaving data and WiFi on.
Have to say I am pretty impressed, given battery life of the SGS2 and SGS1.
I am very impressed with the battery life on the phone! I work in an area with little to no service so my phone searches for signal all day. I usually spend about 10 hours at work a day and with moderate use I have enough battery to last all day. If I turn WiFi on phone stops searching and get even better battery life. This is the best phone I have had for battery life. I'm on t-mobile.
How is the battery life? From what I have seen its mixed some people are getting good and others are getting terrible. I normally use the screen in total maybe 3-4 hours a day and playing music from google play about an hour total so could I make it through a charge on that?
it will depend on the quality of your phone/data connection mostly, and how you set up your phone. i use purely lte, as i have a great lte connection, and see a minimum of 5-5.5 hours screen on time.

That's sweet dude. I'm getting 3-4 hours screen time. But my idle is pretty good. Getting around a 30% drain every 8hrs with one of the hours screen on and another for phone calls. Then some various data usage. How do you get such good screen time? Mind if I ask you your load out?

Battery life for me has been nothing short of stellar. 5 hrs screen time, can go 2 full days on a charge if need be. With all the moaning about the battery size I expected horrible battery life. That's definitely not the case.

Reviewers say its bad battery life, because stock kernel uses so much unecessary power. Flash a custom kernel and I reached 2.5 days with light - medium use (4 hrs sot).

I've had a handful of Android devices and this is the best battery life I have ever experienced.
I've gotten over 5 hours SOT in one day of heavy use.
Over the last weekend, I went 2 days off the charger with 2.5 hours of SOT on LTE only and still had 35% battery remaining when I plugged in for a charge.
I'm running completely stock and rooted.

Yesterday I got 13 and a half hours out of 50% of my battery before I set it on the wireless charger.

I get 5+ hours SOT and 2+ days use with stock kernel just fine...
I've seen in other threads that people have proved that the battery can last longer than the s4.
I'm just about at 9 hours. Just casual browsing xda forums and 5-10 mins at a time.
1.5hrs screen time and only just dropped to 86% while writing this.

I get around 2-3 hours of screen time. If you don't mess with your phone and install custom kernels and undervolt and all that, I guess that's that you get. I would say battery is comparable to the iPhone 5s.
This is with sync off and location off btw.
I'm getting excellent battery life as well. On days of light usage I don't even need to plug it in when I go to bed, I just top it up while I get ready for work in the morning. On days when I use it heavily, I still have 30% or more left before putting it down for the night. Screen time varies from 2-5 hours, depending on what exactly I've been doing and how good my signal is. I have no issues at all with the battery performance, it's awesome.
Any bets on when dicecuber will appear in this thread to tell us how absolutely terrible the battery is?
Using Franco kernel, 4.5hrs SOT is a walk in the park. It's better than my SGS4 I came from.

Battery life is not a worry I get better time on this then any of my previous phones and have no worry's of it lasting through the day. Although I am a little jealous of my wife's insane battery life on her xperia z1.
I am beyond impressed so far. Today will be my first full day with it. Here are my results so far. Took off charger around 7:30a. 76% after 7 hours!!!!!

Granted that's not a lot of time, but I've used all my phones this same way during a work day. None of them have been at 76% after 7 hours.
The Nougat doze works incredibly well. last night from 11pm to 6:30 am the phone only lost 2% power. So when the phone is left alone, the standby is insane. Note that this is with the second screen on all night as well.
67% battery left on 51 minutes of screen on time over 12 hours and 8 minutes. Not bad for the first day. I expect it'll get better as the battery "finds itself."
I really didn't get into the screen until about lunchtime today. Using the phone for Poweramp it knocked about 10% off of full before lunch.
I don't have screenshots as I charged my phone before I saw this thread.
Today was a very busy day for me. I got roughly 4.5 hours of talk time, and 4 hours of SOT for about 9 hours with 20 something % battery life. My Note 7 wouldn't give me that much when I did have it, and my HTC 10 could never give me anything close to that.
Disabled a few apps and using ForceDoze app, battery is amazing so far!
Great battery life. Almost better than my note 7????
I lost almost 15% overnight Went to bed around 12:30, woke up about 9:45a. Didn't touch the phone at all.
Anyone know how to shrink the graph to show more time?
I went to bed with 74% and woke up with 74% . Not time to do the screenshot since im waiting for the phone to get to 0% to charge it up to a 100% again then do my testing of how long would it take for the phone to turn off while watching a video in 1440p (im going to use any 8 hour videos that has constantly moving images and see how it does.)
Im really hoping i get decent battery life, my note 7 was amazing i would average around 8 hours sot and squeezed out 9 a few times, so far 1st day with the v20 im at 47% with 3.5 hours sot. Id be happy with 7 hours sot

What were you doing to get that SOT? Seems unlikely using many GPU heavy apps. YouTube web and books?
I got 5 hours with Note 7, but SOT is relative to the user. My Note 4 with the new MM update, reset to stock and new battery gets the same.

Screen was not at 28% it was around half way up, the 28% is how much battery the screen killed
Tell me what you think
I went from 100% to 5% in 2 hours 57 minutes. It would have lasted up to 3 hours 5 minutes. Hey, i think it is great!!!! Lol do not think im a fool. Read below....
I was watching several videos, not on 720p nor 1080p, but on 1440p , full brightness, no autobrightness, wifi on and with 22 out of 35 apps constantly synchronizing . Also, speakers as loud as they could get. Ah, and recording the screen with an screen recorder app (sooo that is also added to my result). I was about to upload the video but... According to the app the file got corrupted because it has to be recorded with only one orientation and i used both orientations... Sooo, the video is gone lol. I will be doing a 1080p to see how long it last.
My 1st day with a full charge and i managed 5 hours 20 minutes SOT, hope it gets a little better once it settles in
way better than note 7 all day a bunch of emails many pictures at work and and it:good: end at 78%.

Yeah, that's probably all it was. After I synced everything and set up my phone,I recharged it. Now I'm sitting at 50% with 3hrs SOT and I was playing Eternium: Mage and Minions for about 1:15hrs of that. Pretty impressed, personally, compared to my N5X.

Off the charger 3 hours, Android OS at 200mah. Grr
Not particularly impressed with battery here - 37 minutes of SOT on 6 hours off charge and I'm at 71%. WhatsApp Web is running but I haven't done anything intensive.
I'm hoping the battery life picks up on mine over the next few days. 5 hours off charge with a bit of app setup (just configuration, the installs were already done) and about half an hour of photography left the phone at 50%.
I'll give it a little bit more time to settle before I panic and return it for a Pixel XL

This is a very important thread and please all report truthfully. It doesn't do anyone any good when there rouge posts come in with 6 hrs SOT with 20% left. I am on the fence between the Pixel and the XL I was pretty sure the battery life would be suspect with the regular Pixel. Pretty much the same thing that happened with the Nexus 5X and the 6P. 6P was much better. Keep the posts coming please.

I would like to see some screen shots of battery life after a week of use. One day doesn't make the battery life. The battery life is what will be the deciding factor for me. I have the S7 and I'm happy but I'm also a phone hore and I always want the latest and greatest. I ordered the phone from Google and it's not expected until Thanksgiving, but if I hear great things over the next few weeks, I made get it on my Verizon account.

Maybe has to do with syncing? See if there are any syncing errors in Settings>Accounts. In any case, try a reboot.

I'm not either. High accuracy mode was on the whole time
Out (on LTE only, no Wifi) and about regular usage (web, news, maps/navigation) - 13%/hour ~7.6 hours SOT
Camera (because the camera is THAT great) + Google photos editing and uploading - 17-25%/hour ~ 4-6 hours SOT
At home on Wifi regular usage- 6-7%/hour ~ 15 hours SOT
So was doing some testing for battery life. Used it till it shut off just a few minutes ago. I had taken a screen shot at 1% about 5min before it powered down figuring it was close. I took the phone off the charger yesterday at about 6:30am. I am not sure why wifi shows as 0% but I have been on wifi most of the day. I really liked the old Android battery screens better that showed wifi and cellular signal strength data as well.
From my experience the SOT is not even the problem. How is the standby battery consumption? The thing is I get 10 hours SOT on my Moto Z Play if I do a lot. BUT if I use the phone only lightly I'll still don't get more than 2 days battery life even though you would expect much more.

Ambient features, how often your weather / email ect sync, how strong your cell signal is, how often your connected to WiFi instead of 3g/4g, and location services all affect stand by time.

Yeah I know but the thing is: compared to standby times of my iPhone 7 Plus the Pixel XL 1 standby was a joke.
I have installed basically the same apps on both devices. So I just hope that Android will finally catch up with Android 8, because up to now all Google initiatives to have better battery life were pretty bad.
That's why I would be interested to hear how this is going on the XL2.
This is going for 9+ hours sot!
Why can't I post pics? Says I don't have permission to post.

Mind sharing your settings/apps? I'm at the same percentage as you but barely getting 2hours sot :/ I don't think I have any battery draining apps installed besides instagram and snapchat. Maybe its standby drain? I lost almost 10% overnight (6 hours) and I'm not sure if this is normal.

You also have 10 hours more off the charger. I think that could easily result in the 1 hour difference in screen on time.
