[Q] Battery life

Can you guys try this?
Set your screen to auto brightness.
Use your phone - web browsing. Now take note of your battery percentage (I use battery dr. so the percentage is on the top of the screen).
When the percentage changes - start timing. Browse primarily white web pages (news etc...).
Time how long before the percentage changes.
Mine is somewhere around 3 minutes (or slightly less). That makes it run around 5 hours (300/60) if it's consistent.
Is this what you guys are getting??? I just put in a new battery and to be honest it seems just like the older battery.
Thanks!!!!

I seem to be consuming 25% of battery in a hour of web browsing (stock battery). So, if you've upgraded to the 2100 mAh One X's battery, everything looks correct.

Thank you. I can't believe how fast this phone burns through the battery. GPS is a killer drain too.
Amazing how many programs start running as well without starting them (Battery Doctor shows me apps using battery).
Oh well.

You have the 2100 mAh battery, don't you?
Yes browsing drains the battery pretty fast. This happens on every smartphone,.though.
About the thousands apps automatically starting, most of them don't drain anything at all, it's not their fault.

No, I have a brand new OEM battery. I'm not sure but I think it's due to the AMOLED screen which just burns through battery when displaying white.
Not every phone burns through battery this fast. The One S is one of the worst. See this pict:

[Apk][Share]AccuBattery, the best battery monitor!

In the name of GOD
Hello community!!
I found a battery monitor in the playstore. It is so good!! So I'd like to share with you people! It's called the Accubattery.

Almost every phone contains a little bit of hardware that can measure the current flow into or out of your battery, in mA or µA. We track this data continuously, but also segment it by screen state (on vs off) and which app was in the foreground. With this data, you can see clearly how your battery was used.
Battery life is probably the most common concern for smartphone users: some are finding it hard to get through a full day on a single charge, others find that after a year or so of use, their battery drains much faster than before, and the issues just keep lining up.
AccuBattery is a relatively new battery life monitor for Android devices (it supports the latest Samsung Galaxy S7s, Google Pixels, and so on) that focuses on accurate battery stats, but also on a research-based suggestion to avoid fully charging your battery.
AccuBattery allows you to set alarm that you actually charge your battery to 80%(Can be modified) and comes with clever tools to let you know when you've reached that level, so that you can unplug. This way, you can get the full 500 cycles(More than 1000, if you charge from 30 to 80 ) out of your battery, until you start to see a noticeable drop in battery life.
I still have my two year old Z2. It still holds battery like a new phone( with slight less capacity due to heat generated due to flashing roms). I used to charge my phone between 25%-80%.​

Press thanks if I've helped you!!:fingers-crossed:

Inspired by AccuBattery I have created a raspberry pi 3 image which can stop charging your phone automatically after it reaches a certain percentage. Works on non-rooted phones.

Looks very nice!

Quick Charge - Fast Chrage
To charge the device quickly, use this tool!
ATTENTION! This does not increase the amperage of the charger. Just by restricting your device, it allows you to charge quickly, just like in airplane mode. Charging with this vehicle is equivalent to airplane mode.
Slow charging the device?
â–º Using this tool, you can charge the device 25% faster!
â–º This means the device is charging, the charger provides full performance of the device.
â–º The device is charged in a shorter time.
â–º Quick Charge, 2x not only improve the speed of charging, but also enhance your battery life.
â–º Boosting and Healthy Charging
At different charging phases, it monitors and completes healthy battery charge to ensure battery stay in its best condition during the whole battery life.
â–ºQuick Charging Mode
When you choose fast charging mode, all of applications opened on the android operating system will automatically shut down, the screen brightness will be reduced to a minimum, turn off wifi & GPRS, which helps you save 60% battery charge time for the battery capacity <80%.

In fact I was looking for an app that just avoids me to go through the whole menu (settings > battery > wireless quick charge/cable charge) each time I want to change the charging mode of my Galaxy S7 from normal to quick charge (cable or wireless mode), Does this just do that, and is it avoiding this and does it indicate on the homescreen in which mode it is set ?

Apparently, downgrading to Nougat is the only option for now

I turn on data saver and allow few apps like social media that really need a background usage and this helped me to save a lot of battery, i can lose only 3-4% overnight with this. try it and tell me if it works

Pls reply fast

Battery life on any phone is completely subjective and very much depends on the number of apps installed, the type of app and how you use your phone.
Anyone who says "this ROM's battery is great" or "that's ROM's battery is amazing", is only speaking in terms of how they use their phone and what settings are enabled.
The golden rule of battery life is quite simple, the less your phone has to do, the less battery is used its as simple as that.
For example you can have 2 devices running Nougat both with identical apps installed. One phone is used normally throughout the day with auto update apps, screen brightness on 50%, volume on low, Bluetooth on blah blah and its lasts 12 hrs.
The other device is just used for texts and calls, has auto update apps off, screen brightness at 30%, volume at 30% Bluetooth off and it lasts 16 hours.
With all these different variables it is nonsense to suggest one rom is better than another, battery life involves so many variables you simply cannot work it out with any degree of accuracy. Anyone who claims otherwise is tripping.
The slimmest barebones ROM's are lineage and other ASOP ROM's. If you want your battery to last longer start with these ROM's.

High Battery Voltage

I just charged my P4a to full capacity and monitored it with Accubattery. I have found out that final battery voltage is quite high, is it normal for battery used in this phone? Does Google use this high voltage to increase overall battery capacity at the expense of battery life? Thank you

What is making you think 4.455v is high?

I've been reading that the most of Li-Pol batteries have maximum voltage of 4,2 V. Also the red colour of the graph little bit intimidate me.

What makes you believe AccuBattery (cough), yet another generic battry app, and related 'red' alerts have any relevance to the overall health of your device. Don't take the bait, mate.

the batteries tend to go beyond what is indicated, it is normal, so it is advisable to charge a maximum of around 80%, to keep the voltage below that threshold

I stumbled on this thread when checking what other P4 threads I was missing out on. The voltage is very transient, and you also have to be careful to distinguish between your battery voltage and the measured voltage in the system during charging.
NB: all the following is dependent on root.
The dumpsys batterystats includes lines for "volt=???". If you extract all of these and convert the ms offsets to times, you will get graphs like the following
I can only assume the numbers should be divided by 10 to get to the mV You can find this graph at Currently Running>Battery>Battery History Extras>AUTO-WIDTHx4>Graph of Explicitly Recorded Values [VALUE]>NONE - Direct Values Logged>Battery Volt [VOLT].VALUE
Also from the dumpsys, you can get the charging status (as well as battery power and with some calcs, the drain rate) which gives me the following for the same period as above
Pretty clear the measured "volts" jump up during charging. NB: I am using an old low wattage charger, not the fast charge.
The above graphs were generated using my app TeMeFI, with some details on the above features in the post1 and post2. There are >100 other graphs from the app, including the discharge rate over time. Ands you can also extract the data frommwhiuch the graphs are based.
