Hiya,
Just a quick ask around about battery life. Simply based on stats and usage by all of you, which ROM for our One S gives the most battery life.
I'm asking this as I'm going to Global Gathering, and would love for my phone to stay alive for more than a few hours, so that I can take photos/video's while I'm at the festival each day.
For example is 4.1.2 have a better battery life compared to 4.2.2 and I'm also interested in performance between the various ROMs that are out there. Kernel settings would be lovely as well.
Try latest liquidrom, downclock to 1,1ghz and buy a battery pack for 30 € With 10.000mah, you can charge your phone 4times With this pack.

Hello!
I love my Nexus 5 but i think the battery is a little to small!
Is it worth it to buy the g2 insteed? What i can see is it a n5 with better battery, well more bloatware but a rom can fix that!
What u guys say is it worth to change?
I'm using my Nexus 5 as a daily driver since the day it was launched and battery life has been enough for me. 3 hours SOT - the battery lasts a whole day I experienced a bit less battery life on stock ROM though. I guess I could tweak it a bit more now and maybe even reach 3,5h SOT. Running CM12 and franco.Kernel - awesome combination!
I wouldn't trade it for a G2 because I really enjoy the development for our flagship
Hi folks,
Getting the itch to upgrade from my G3. I love the G3 but even with a fresh battery I'm having trouble getting through the day, plus I'd like to run "stock-ish" in Nougat, but the G3 ends at Marshmallow. I definitely need root, so planning to get the H918 T-mo variant (would be using it on AT&T).
My big concern is that PhoneArena ratings completely trashes the battery life on the V20. 8 hour talk time / 4.3 day standby versus the G3 at 19 hours / 22.8 days. Is the battery really this crippled? If so, I'll bail from my plans. Also considering OnePlus 3T (though it has lower res screen) or waiting for price drop on Pixel XL.
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks all!
I can get about 10 hours of battery life off my v20, this is with a few calls and some gamming in between. It all depends on how you use your phone. The lg v20 is an awesome phone, trust me i come from a SGS7e and that thing was slow,it would get hot and throttle non stop, the v20 is a world of a deference in smoothness and 0 throttle.
i get about 5 hours SOT , which is okay in my books for 3300 mah battery powered UHD LED screen. I have a charging bundle and it's perfect

Thanks. The V20 does look like a strong contender!

Mine has pretty good battery, and I am pretty heavy user.
The phone runs cool even running FB live (don't ever try it on V10)
Yeah, if you have a lot of SOT, the batter runs out pretty quickly. Im on it all day at work from 8ish to 2, usually charge it again at 2 or 3, then sometimes I have to charge it again after dinner. All depending on how much I am on it.
I'm rather underwhelmed with the battery life on mine. I don't use my phone much but the battery goes down worryingly quickly. I came from a ZUK Z1 with NucleaRom and that was amazing for battery life, so it's been quite a shock with the LG. I've only had a it a week or so, so I haven't had much time to poke around, maybe I can tweak things a little.
Using cellular data, can easily get 4hrs SOT and 7-8hrs SOT Using WIFI only. No games, just browsing etc.
The battery is removable!!
If you cycle the spent battery into a charger as you replace it with a new one, you never actually have to plug in the phone.
It's amazing to me that anyone would consider a slightly larger battery in a sealed phone as a comparable, much less superior option.
To give a more empirical answer though, here is a 24h snapshot of my power use, occasionally plugging in when in car / at comp (H918, mostly on good wifi, poor cell signal, running NATF MegaRom 5 + Werewolf Kernel 2.0+ anti-throttling to improve performance/charging speed)
Should probably add that my SOT over that period was, considerable
Had a spare battery in my bag, made it through without (though I love to know that I don't have to worry about power!)
I am a moderate to heavy user, and I have to charge my phone three times a day! In my opinion the battery life is pathetic, so I bought a ZeroLemon 10,000mAh extended battery to replace the original battery. It is quite large but I can squeeze days out of this thing! Here it is on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2uHmcT6
If you don't mind the size, it is a must have!
Feel free to share your best battery usage and screen on time in this thread.
I had the phone for a few days, and this is my phone after 2 days of use. Very impressive in my opinion.
That's a great one you got there mate. No doubt with its massive 3930 mah battery.

According to GSMarena battery life is average at best, they were quite disappointed with the results. So I’m not completely sure who to trust here.

I was worried too but every other reviewer says the battery its amazing. I bought the phone last week and I can tell you that GSMArena's results are completely wrong. I get a lot more battery life from this phone than the One Plus 3T.
Coming from a Xiaomi Mi Max I am a Bit dissapointed with this battery life, i forgot that most high end devices need to be charged everyday...
Its a pity that a mid range device has much better battery for less than half price...

It all depends on the user. Not by others imo. We all have our own way on how we use our phone.

Maybe because mi max is meant to last longer in terms of battery life. In addition, most mid range devices doesn't really have that much of a hardware feature unlike most high end flagship phones.

So you are comparing U11+ with xiaomi which has only snapdragon 650 on board (midrange), uses only full HD screen and has 4850mAh battery which is almost 1000 more than u11+? Did you expect 5 days with no charging? lol
I'm really happy with the battery. I expected the larger battery to cope with the display, and be average, but it's exceeded my expectations.
I'm a medium/ heavy user depending on the day.
Today is my record so far, had the phone for about 3 weeks, see pic
I have started putting power saver on overnight, clear all apps, and WiFi and data off. I'm using two sims aswell, not sure if that makes a difference
Here is mine.
Far better than my old Nexus 5 but I can't compare with other flagships. It last all day, from 7am to 22pm with ease. I needed to recharge my N5 2 to 3 times a day with similar usage.
Today
4H SOT over 12h50 and 39% left.
During this time, I played 1h of Airport City game and run for 50 min (so GPS for 50 min).
Google fit tracks me all day long too.
Mine:
Exceeds my expectations
my phone is on wifi 24/7
Are you on power saver constantly lol

Yes I am and still be able to use it the "normal" way
Then again, I let the battery go down to 1% and then start charging it again, which significantly increases the battery life and therefor get, at least, 5 days out of the battery

As far as I know, newer batteries don't behave like that, and partial charges are better with new battery technology.
Totally disapointed with mine. 5 sot more or less.
Is there something wrong with the software in this phone? This cant be normal.
I have the 6gb 128gb version

I come from a 5t and i have the oposite opinión. The 5t battery was noticiable better. 6-7 sot against 5 on this u11 plus
Seing the increíble distance between some people Who do 10 sot and many others like myself that barely so 4-5 i Wonder if this could be some software glitch depending on the model.
Mine its like i said above the 6gb 128gb translucent versión

I am not sure what it could be, I am also using the 6GB 128GB Translucent version from Hong Kong. The phone is currently on software 1.24.400.2, even though I have had great battery since day one. I recommend a factory reset just in case or check on the battery section, details what is draining it quicker. I can even play games for the majority of the charge and still get around 7hrs every time. Also check for gesture features, google maps, apps in sync, and many things that could drain your battery.

Hi, can you post a battery history screenshot with 7hrs SOT ?
I am just configuring mine (European Dual SIM, 6GB, 128 GB), and with just a few apps, no games, it loses 20% overnight.
It seems awful, I am almost considering returning it, and I had such high hopes.
I already factory reset it again and try to test it further.
What is you screen off drain overnight, on Wifi ?
I only have one SIM, the always on display only on motion launch, location normal, a HW2 android wear watch.

Something is draining your phone like crazy if it loses 20% overnight. That is not normal behaviour at all
Smart Display set to motion battery test results
4g/No Wi-Fi
50% auto brigthness
high accuracy location
Happy with this considering I didn't even get to drain till 10%
It shouldn't drain that much overnight tbh
So I am a long time Iphone user who has recently switched to Android and recently bought a Note 10+ - cant justify the new iphones being prices so high with no new innovation or software upgrades
I have noticed that the battery life is decent, not as great as the reviews on youtube have mentioned. I cant seem to get more than 3.5 to 4 hours of SOT with my phone, and when I use the phone the battery percentage seems to drop down percent by percent fairly quickly? Maybe it's just me but my 3 year old iPhone seemed to stand the percent when being used than the Note 10.
Not to mention, the battery life overall is impressive i can easily get a whole day and maybe a bit more depending on the usage. On standby the battery seems to do well and not drain quickly. I also use AOD and that seems to take about 4-5% extra per day? Which is not a big deal.
I have the Exynos version of the phone. I have heard the Qualcomm version fares better in terms of battery life? Just need some thoughts about this on the usage from all fellow Note 10+ users
I'm coming from an iPhone 8 plus and have the Note 10 (my first Android phone) and am also disappointed in the battery life.

Exactly! I woudn't say im disappointed, but i hoped for much better considering it has a whopping 4300mah battery and apparently the battery is good at optimizing itself based on how the device is being used. My friend has a Oneplus 7 pro and his battery life seems much better even witht he quad HD and 90hz refresh rate on, and the battery is a tad bit smaller than Note 10+
