SOT time with battery saver on.... Wow! - X Style (Pure) General

As the title stated, turning on battery saver for over 90% of the time since the phone has been unplugged has yielded some awesome screen on time! At least it's impressive to me!

No need for battery saver to achieve that kind of sot
I get 5+ hours sot easily with Frankenclark kernel and Lionheart governor

I'm debating on whether or not to root this device, it's been since my note 2 since I've done it... I'm jealous though!
Chris

It's easy to root and very harmless. 5-6 hrs of SOT isn't difficult at all over only 12 hrs off the charge. With rooting and using a custom kernel, 7-8 hrs over a 12 hour period is rather plausible. I can squeeze 6.5-7 in 1.5-2 days off a charge, but that's only achievable if you root your device.

The Frankenclark kernel is great, but I haven't started messing with the governors yet. How is the performance with the Lionheart one, and is that on the CPU?

I had the exact opposite experience with Frankenclark. First day I installed it was great. Performance improved, battery life was better. The next 3 days I had awful kernel wakelocks completely killing my battery because my phone could not deep sleep. My performance was also awful, and my phone kept freezing when I was using Google Maps, and I had to restart it about 4 times in one car ride. I didn't modify a single setting on my phone or the kernel, all I did was install the kernel. No one seemed able to help me, so I just restored back to the stock kernel, and my battery life and performance are back to normal.
Anyway, I'm normally only about to get 2-3 hours of SOT with this phone, with a day of use. I have Verizon and good signal where I live. 2-3 hours is decent, but nowhere near as amazing as other people are able to achieve.

Turn off the phone and see how long it lasts then ?

Got 9 hours without battery saver. Lol.

You also had your screen left on even when you weren't using the phone. CPU/GPU use was basically nil. Battery saver and the like wouldn't make a difference, cause your use wasn't typical to the majority of other people.

Well the battery saver kicks the A57 big cores completely, and limits the 4 A53s to 787MHz in most scenarios with bursts of 1.2GHz.

I wonder what is the impact on the camera... If you have to take a lot af photo during one day and no power....

So stupid question. If I have battery saver on, I saw that it says stuff won't sync. So does that mean items such as instagram or facebook will have to be done manually?
Will SMS/MMS still come through as normal? That's what I need to know. The other stuff I can just open the app, its not a big deal there.

Sync in this context are the Google + other account things you find in Settings -> Accounts. Instagram and Facebook use Google Cloud Messenger (GCM), and those won't be affected. When they say sync is disabled, things like Keep and Google Contacts won't be updated in the background, so battery saver won't really affect your incoming notifications or SMS/MMS.

Thunderbolt battery...lol

So I know this subject has been hashed a thousand times. But... My tb was actually getting fantastic battery. Ten hours without charging. Right now I'm on the latest thundersense, no OC, conservative scaling, juice defender ultimate with data off when the screen's off, and my battery went from 100% to 49% in two hours. Am I doing something wrong, or did I just not quite understand that one day my phone turns on and says "I'm going to have terrible battery life from now on"? Because that's literally what happened. One day I was bragging about how fantastic my battery life is, the next was like I got blindsided by a mugger.

Download Battery Calibration from the Market. It's free. Open the app, it notifies you when you're charged to 100%, hit the calibrate button and you're done. Simple as that.
I had the same problem and set a profile in setCPU to have max and min cpu speed at 245 while the screen is off. Used onDemand at 1.28 i believe and I went from charging by 4pm to still at 50% by midnight. It really was night and day.

One thing I'm having trouble with understanding is the governors. I'm using smartass right now with no profiles. Will it underclock the phone to 245 when the screen is off? I read an article that said it didn't need profiles so I assumed it did this automatically.
i never expected fantastic battery just equivalent to my Dinc which is 9 hrs, on average i get 8 with my TB so it works for me
I get quite good battery out of my Thunderbolt. I ran it on stock battery with light usage almost 60 hours before I needed to charge.

To op first I would ditch juice defender never been a fan of that app plus it also takes resources to enable data again seems counter productive somewhat. Second it does seem these phones have days where they suck down the juice. Also I would use ondemand instead of conservative I have never seen one person even back to my Droid that said they had amazing battery on conservative scaling. I notice way to much lag with conservative as we its only supposed to scale up to the clock speed needed but it takes to long to scale up in my opinion. I've always gotten decent battery life from Droid to thunderbolt and I've always used ondemand with the min clock speed when screen off. Also if you dont have spareparts get it from the market it may have been a rogue app for some reason that day. I have Google voice act up on me from time to time. Hope this helps. Oh and I'm getting 20 to 30 hours out of mine. Whoever said 60 hours must have it hooked up to a car battery haha.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I don't know about 60 hours on this phone yet. I have gotten 2 days with small usage, but not longer. This might be doable when CM7 starts getting nightly cranked out. Or when our AOSP kernels get better. That is when I started getting 3 days with my evo, but then again, that was with 3G only.
Ever since I did the battery calibration, it seems a lot better. I tend to flipflop back and forth between conservative and ondemand with my main profile- I wouldn't say conservative is a total waste, I'll reserve that for the powersave scaling. So in any case, was it just bad values were written to the batterystats.bin file? And if so, what steps can I take to keep it from happening again? Other than this little bump, I'd say the tb has been the best phone I've ever owned.

What's your best configuration for battery/performance

Hi guys
I switched to ART... and BOOM my nexus now is very very good...
I flashed bricked kernel and setted mdpdecision
stock ROM
no overclock
no undervolt
I have 22 hours of battery, 3 hours of screen and 1 hour of call
what's your best configuration? and how I can modify mine to improve?
tnx to all of you
check the franco kernel thread, try UVing and underclocking
i use 10% brightness, UV - 75 , and underclock to 1.5ghz and i can get 6hours SOT easily on wifi
i don't have gps on, no location on, no syncs, mostly just surfing the web, tapatalk, mobile forums, playstore update apps, twitter, 9gag,etc
I just use my phone as it was meant to be used. Have one gmail account that syncs automatically, never use WiFi, LTE always on, GPS left on, adjust screen brightness depending on my surroundings. My point is I do nothing special for battery and still get 4-4½ hours screen on average over 2 days. 100% stock unrooted.
Nothing against custom kernels, but in my experience battery life doesn't really change under same usage scenarios, mostly just placebo effect. Everybody is going to have different results simply because everybody uses their phone differently.

just flash franco kernel.. i wouldnt mess with underclock or undervolt... all i do is flash franco's kernel and my phone is BEAST! crazy smooth.snappy and my battery life is great.. 4-5 hours screen on with over 24 hours.. get some!!!:good:
ART itself isn't going to save you much battery. There is potential there but it's not going to be very noticeable right now.
Disabling auto sync can save a lot of wakes with the screen off, also not having Google now update weather cards constantly. Getting rid of the mostly gimmicky hot word detection increased screen on time from when just swiping around the home screen, and WiFi always scanning off helped when using a data connection.
Average 5 hours SoT on stock.
I get 5 hours screen time without custom kernels or undervolting. All I do is greenify all the apps I don't need to be awake.

[Q] Bad battery life- help please?

Hi there,
I bought my one plus a month ago, and am getting around 3.5 screen time.
It is disappointing as I see screenshots of people with one plus who are getting 6 -10 hours screen time.
I am on battery saver mode, not using music, whatsApp, wase games or facebook, just a little bit email and browsing.
At night it is not going down a lot, but when I start using the phone, it goes down quite quickly.
(1 percent every 2 minutes, sometimes every minute). It seems to get worse every day.
If I start using GPS or video or music, my battery will be finished by noon.
I replaced the battery, and it is the same.
Attached three screenshots. (Including the night)
Help please?
Thank you!
I share you the same feeling when I see others having impressive battery performance specially screen-on time.
I have exactly the same drain behavior of yours, when my phone in deep sleep its sleep like a baby. but when I wake it its become beast awakening.
I run 3g when I am out and wi-fi at home, also running regular apps, whatsapp,snapchat,2emails,1gmail,instagram,web browsing, auto brightness,greenify. I checked with BBS and WLD but no culprit. I am on stock rom with root for the apps, no system tuning.
So you can see my setup is like most of regular users will do but noticeable difference in term of battery performance. I have no clue
Your battery life is fine, better mine
Who has a lot of SOT usually doesn't turn off/on the screen that much. The secret to achieve a lot of SOT is making long session on the screen (and having few apps, like you). So no worries I'm at 64% now with 1 hour of SOT, but I flash updates (CM 12) everyday and wake up the phone only when I need it, with 1-2 minutes sessions.

That isn't really true, I have over 100 apps installed and I turn my screen off whenever I'm not actually using it. I'm a heavy user. I get roughly six hours of screen on time.

Hi,
Well, at least I am not the only one....
The problem is that it is getting worse every day and now I lose one percent in a minute!
Horrible! I have to charge it twice a day, and I barely use it.
I have no root, am not using any of the apps, only a little bit of browsing, and checking mails.
If I try to use waze for a half of an hour or a little bit of music (max 30min, I get only about 2 hours screen time!
It seems really poor from a brand new battery.
I have no clue what to do, or what is causing it. If anyone have suggestions, i will be glad to hear!
Are you using the stock OPO rom? because I always had a poor battery life, I had all kind of protections to keep battery life but when I saw, from 100 I had 70, it was awful, one solution I saw was to flash one custom kernel, somehow improved my battery life, but the final solution was to use a custom rom, I have experienced better battery life with 5+ roms rather than the ones with 4.x.x, maybe you should taste another android flavor and check if the battery life increases
How hard was it to change the battery? Was it soldered? Where did you get a replacement ?

Sorry, I don't understand much in roms ... I bought the chinese version color os, and changed it in fast boot to cm11.
My cm version is 11.0-xnph44s , android version-4.4.4
I believe this is app related. Some apps keep phones awake. I encountered this problem with my S3 because I have lots of apps. But since I made sure I only install apps I absolutely need in my oneplus, I get a fantastic battery life.

I don't have so many apps , and I installed all of them. I keep closing apps that are running on the background through the settings.
The funny thing is that it is getting worse every day.
Now my battery is going down one percent in 30-60 seconds!
I don't know what to do anymore.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Battery Life

Hi,
It has been a week since i bought my s7. I was not quite pleased with the battery life. It was just ok. But now it is getting worse.
battery is 10% at the time of writing this.
Total usage is 22 hours
Screen on time is 3 hours
Android system is taking 23% battery
Screen 19 %
Facebook 17 %
Is this normal? I was expecting atleast 4 to 5 hours SOT?
I have the AOD turned on. Sync is always off. I dont even have the mobile data turned on. I mostly use wifi for facebook and browsing.
Any suggestions on how to improve it?
Aod takes 1% in 1 hour. Facebook takes too much but its known issue. Facebook knows that too and making fix right now. You can disable and enable it and then it will be ok.

Though I own a S7 Edge, the following is from my experience with Note II & S2. I am not facing this with S7 Edge.
When I get a new device or get updates, I do a factory reset and start over. Just clearing the cache doesn't help.
I am using Package Disabler Pro to disable apps when not required and it doesn't require root access.

Disable aod. Aod doesn't let doze kick in. So idle drain with AOD is 2-3% per hr.

Hello, I'd like some help about battery drain too.
I've been using my S7 for 4 months and never made factory reset after the OTA updates.
Today, for example, the battery level fell down from 100 to 43% in 6 hours.
I've taken some screenshots from battery usage screen and the items described inside de Android System item, which is the most drainer one.
If you could give me your thoughts and forgive my poor English, I'd appreciate!
I had the complete opposite to you, well in the first few weeks anyways. It would take like an hour to kill like 3% and I left my phone at 60% once, left it overnight without charge and only dropped 2% - This was the case a number of times
Fjesuino. I wiped my cache, and the battery time did improve a little. Try it out, it might work. But i think there is something wrong with your device android system and sd shouldn't be that high.

S7 Exynos and back then I didn't really use AOD. It wouldn't be fair to show battery usage right now though as I'm using quite a heavy custom kernel.
As well as all the other tips you're getting above, I'd recommend flashing the Hydra ROM onto your phone as there are a lot of features to save battery. It ports to the Note 7 and you get features like reducing screen resolution, reduce background processes, it's even got its own RAM manager.
Personally, I don't see the battery as that much of an issue though and I do bash my phone a lot through the day as well.
Have you got a lot of apps installed? Do you have a SD?

The phones here in pakistan are mostly "smuggled" or imported. I have an imported one from canada g930w8, so it's without warranty.
But i dont want to root it, i have used many custom roms on previous android devices. i personally dont like third party ROMs that much. So i'll just debloat the current one.

Best battery (SOT) with stock kernel?

Anyone have better battery life on stock kernel than on any custom kernel?

Yup, haven't had a custom kernel beat my SoT and idle drain, and tried most of them. Including wakelock blocking, underclocking, etc. Stock remains best by far, here.
Ymmv and sure some kernel fans will chime in and claim completely otherwise, and that's just fine :good:
For now enjoying 10+ hours of SoT and draining 3% per night being idle using the amazing stock kernel
I'm getting about the same, MAYBE a little better on EX Kernel. I use the custom kennel for features usually.
* Increase vibration strength
* Lower minimum MHz for less per drain when idle
* Increase Mac sound volume
* Disable swap file and Zram
* Increase read ahead to 2048kb (ideal with 32gb or more storage)
With the 7 pro I'm getting better battery then my op6 and I have forced 90hz all apps enabled 24/7 and resolution set to auto switch.
i do kernel tweaking on my own but not a custom kernel. Im on the latest h2os and i get 9 hours sot average. idle drain overnight for 8 hours is about 2%
Personally I don't run a custom kernel for power savings, I run it for wireguard support. The best way I've found to increase battery life and reduce idle drain is running xXx magisk ROM and debloating the crap out of the OS
Yeah, best battery and performance balance is the stock kernel.
Stock kernel...I don't need to look at the screen for 10 hours...doing what I do is more then enough to last for more than a day...
just hit 50% battery and I'm at over 6 hours screen on time
2 days 5 hours off charger with 7 hours screen time.
I don't know how some of you can achieve 10h SoT I literally tried everything - all kernels, debloaters, used Swifted to force most of apps to run in dark/black mode, used Automate to toggle off wifi/BT/kill unused apps that use resources in background (like fb etc), some magisk modules, kernel tweaks - I did all of that with all sorts of combinations (not all at once) and basically I couldn't improve bettery life by any noticeable margin, getting 6, sometimes 7 SoT, my goal was 8-8,5.
I don't any heavy lifting - main usage is Hangouts, Gmail, Facebook (maybe that is the killer?), Messenger, Chrome and sometimes other (telegram etc) - Never any gaming nor heavy programs.

I think some of those messaging apps (or ones that require syncing or wait for push notifications) are the cause.
You wont see the battery page showing that they consume so much battery because in a way they dont (as they are not in the foreground or doing any heavy computation). But i found that these apps prevent the phone from deep sleep.
You can find out by using things like Better battery status to see the wakelock/alarms of those apps. Some of apps wake up the divice periodically so frequently....
But on the other hand if you want to get notifications from an app and it is poorly designed (drains unnecessary amount battery), there is no way to avoid it. But if you just use jt occasionally and dont need timely notification, try using Servicely to disable wakelock/services of the app (requires root and may break the app, but you can just enable those disabled things to restore the app).

Yeah I suspected that as well and did track Wakelocks. I used Automate to kill Messenger and FB in background when the screen is off, also tried few other tricks and amount of % of deep sleep while screen is of was better - starting from 30% awake while screen off to as low as less than 10% but... Battery train in idle was the same and generally battery life didn't improve at all... Strange but True. That's why I went back to all stock without any tricks..

And battery life is what i require most out of a phone lol
here is a screen shot of battery usesage, its still early in the day but.
I expect screen on consumption will go to about 7.5~8% / hour when the day goes by, like usual.
One interesting thing is that, lol, i never tried stock kernel lol And seeing (in this thread) how people get good sot with stock kernel makes me wanna try it lol will give it a shot over the weekend

You wont see the battery page showing that they consume so much battery because in a way they dont (as they are not in the foreground or doing any heavy computation). But i found that these apps prevent the phone from deep sleep.
You can find out by using things like Better battery status to see the wakelock/alarms of those apps. Some of apps wake up the divice periodically so frequently....
But on the other hand if you want to get notifications from an app and it is poorly designed (drains unnecessary amount battery), there is no way to avoid it. But if you just use jt occasionally and dont need timely notification, try using Servicely to disable wakelock/services of the app (requires root and may break the app, but you can just enable those disabled things to restore the app).

hummm...well right now im on blu_spark and this is the best battery life i am getting. My set up is described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/kernel-t3944179/post79844206
i think im stuck in the same shoe as you cus i rely on Wechat,google sync and a Bluetooth fitness band so the device is going to use quite a bit battery but i managed to get this far...
And battery life is what i require most out of a phone lol
here is a screen shot of battery usesage, its still early in the day but.
I expect screen on consumption will go to about 7.5~8% / hour when the day goes by, like usual.
One interesting thing is that, lol, i never tried stock kernel lol And seeing (in this thread) how people get good sot with stock kernel makes me wanna try it lol will give it a shot over the weekend

Well yours stats look great, I would like to have stats like that as you said, using BT devices connected and messaging app I know I will not hit crazy SoT but still I want a bit better cause as you said battery is like too 1 priority for me I see we are very similar users thanks, in fact I didn't try blue-spark so far, I will give it a shot! I know standy drain will be laso related to Wi-Fi / 4g coverage (low signal = big drain) but I don't think I have such bad signal so I won't to get at least not more that 1% idlle drain per hour and 8-9% on screen and I'm good.
BTW what's your screen brightness usually?

yea lol our needs are very similar.
I just set screen brightness to auto, which changes between 30% ~ 50% when im indoor, whihc is like 90% of time. Then the rest is outdoor at noon lunch time during which screen goes to full brightness for a while.
Oh i also use OLED friendly wall papers and black theme in apps if available.
Ok so your screen brightness and setting (dark theme etc) is same as mine, so this is trsnge why I'm getting almost 2x worse drain... Must try this kernel.
