Battery life comparision 5.1.1 vs 6.0.1 vs 7.0 - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people...
can somebody who used Z5 since 5.1.1 tell me which version has the best battery life ??? actually i bought Z5 last week only nd i got nougat preinstalled so i have no idea which version had best battery life...

If you uninstall all unwanted stock apps, 6.0.1 is the best for battery life.
Stock one use much more battery. 7 is not good at all for me. 5 not tried.

I have slimx rom currently and i can easy get 6+ SOT, and with moderate usage it can last over 24 hours.

I started on lollipop with my Z5 but honestly I dont really remember how battery life was because I think back then I didn't really care much about it.
On MM I had amazing battery life (talking about standard 6-8hrs SOT) on SlimX same as previous poster
And indeed Nougat is very disappointing so far. 5hrs SOT on a good day.
Gets me through the day, but it was supposed to be better than Nougat, but so far not really...

sony build (android 6) came Dec2016 had the best battery life! with ram management!
sony build (android 5.1) back from sep2015 was one of the amazing roms. all the best features from its ancestor mobiles landing in that rom.
you can downgrade to android 6 if you want.
android 7 latest build has good battery but i am sad about the ram management. with all apps installed i get 30% free
where same apps and usage back in anrdoid6 days i used to get 49% free.
however i never tested march2017 apps version on dec2016 rom. perhaps both have fair share of ram usage.
in order to address this usse! sony's upcoming flagship Xperia XZs and XZ Premium has 4gb ram

Android 5.1.1 is not woth upgrading.

Since i have upgraded from 5.0.2 i am no longer a user of s6. Coz it feels like running marshmallow on s2. It is lagging alot with maximum battery consumption and alot more. If you haven't upgraded to 5.1.1 please donot do so. Or you have to buy s7 for better perfomance.
The s6 is more then capable of running marshmallow let alone any rom. Why don't you install cm13 marshmallow rom it's very light on the phone. Super fast, debloated and gives you tons of options and tweaks..

is it worth to buy Nubia Z11 mini ?

Hello
after getting mixed review from Internet about this cell m little bit confused
Please anyone tell honest review is it worth to buy in India from Amazon India website
Why i m interesting to buy this cell ?
- Killer look
- Awesome Camera
is it support to 4G network ?
Hows Battery Backup & Software, calling etc ?
Battery life is not good. I keep 4g data on all the time and battery is drained in 7 to 8 hours. If you are from India JiO internet(LTE) will work but not VoLTE.
If you have a decent powerbank its a great phone. As you said great looks, camera and also recently cm13 rom has also been released. Although I believe stock rom is also gud, if you can remove some bloatware after rooting.

Thank you So much !! for clarification

Battery issue still not solved?

Lol emui 5 updated 5-6 times since drop, but battery still sucks even in comparison with 4
I tried all: resets, muting google services (even findmydevice)
on 4 was 7-9 hours of screen, now up to only 5-6
Agreed. It's really disappointing. Before the update GSam reported a battery life of 25-30h depending on how hard I restricted my apps. Always over 25h with my regular use.
Now on Nougat and emui5 I'm down to 16-17h battery life and never over 4h SOT. Even after following all the advices in the battery thread. God I miss xposed.

android 7.0 is the issue. Pixel soon updated to cure this problem. Shame Huawei stuck with 7.0 makes me not want another Huawei/Honor

May be 7.1 would have been better but all devices are stuck with 7.0
Not sure why no 7.1 rollout for these devices as Android 7.0 sources had issues but were rectified later with uodates, but here we have only bug fix updates amd security updates and not much improvement

As much as i love the H8, being left without solid performance updates isn;t good, especially when you go backwards instead of forwards. The battery was amazing when It was on Android 6. From what i can tell this isn't just an Honor "budget" compromise. All Huawei devices are stuck on 7.0! Bite the bullet for a Pixel i guess!

What phone did Moto G3 users move on to?

The Moto G3 forum has become very quiet. That must mean many moved on to another phone. I am curious of those who moved on to another low cost phone like the G3, what phone did they move to.
Redmi note 5 Global

Yup I like it, at the start I thought that it was too big but now it is comfortable (I have big hands anyway). I'm using Android P gsi (pixel experience) and it is awesome .
im getting the moto x4 tommorow. i got it pretty cheap for 280 euros
Oneplus 6. It's pretty good for development!
A5 2017 for Samsung reliability and the phone is great so far !
Still on Osprey coz i love it... ?
asus zenfone max pro m1
I moved on to the asus zenfone max pro m1 simply due to the low cost SD 636 and 5000 mAh battery.
The main camera is not good - no EIS and pictures come out blurry. Installed the google cam mod to improve picture quality (no root required).
If I was out to buy something now it would be the Xiaomi Poco F1 due to the SD 845 SOC at such a low price.
Still using the osprey. Have no need to upgrade just yet as phone still works and battery life still pretty solid. I'll upgrade when the battery dies out but think I would have to get the poco f1
Mi A2 lite should be here any day
Osprey will still live as hand me down, it has been a great device and still is
Lenovo p2 ..since 1 year.. but I gave my Moto G3 to my dad ?

Honor Note 10 upgraded to EMUI 9.1.0.333

Although other honor devices is getting beta emui 10, Honor Note 10 users have to be contented with emui 9.1.0.333.:crying:
I'm on 317, 333 which region are you coming from? Yea, they seems forget about our note 10 customers, really want this device running emui 10 with dark mode, too bad they don't plan on that.

I'm still on 319...No updates after that...
Battery life is pretty bad in Pie...In Oreo, I used to easily get 2 days+ battery life in mid to low usage...Now in 9.1, I get less than a day with the same usage...When I fully charge my battery to 100%, it shows only like 19-20 hours remaining which is pathetic for a 5000 mAH battery phone...Like for example, my phone is now at 70% charge & it's showing only 12 hours left...
I'm hoping to get Android 10 soon & hoping that it will bring back the battery life like Oreo but over the years, with every other phones I had, I have noticed that every higher android version only decreased the battery life, never improved on it or even provided the same battery life like their earlier version...

I tried to mean that I am still using the 9.1.319 where battery life is worst for a 5000 mAH battery & I am hoping that, we all will get the Android 10 update soon...
If I find a android 10 beta sign-up form for our Note 10 anywhere, I will post that here like I did for 9.0 & 9.1 but I'm not sure when they will bring Android 10 for our device...

I read that it is unclear that the Honor Note 10 gets Android 10.
But I think if the Honor 10 and View 10 get Android 10, the Note 10 should get it too.
Maybe a little later.
Let's hope

This article posted 5 days ago says that it will get Android 10 : http://bit.ly/37KVqxN
XDA was automatically restricting the site name so I shortened the link using Bit.ly...
The above list contains Honor Note 10...Though it's not yet officially announced but I think that all the Kirin 970 devices will get Android 10 update...As per the article, Android 10 has already been announced for Honor 10 & View 10...
Yes let's hope they announce it soon...

Don't update to 9.1.0.333 it sucks!
Apps crashing and wireless connection horrible.
I sent an email to Huawei a week ago and no response!
I've had no issues at all with the latest update.
I really feel like going all the way back to Oreo...Pie 9.0 & 9.1 both have horrible battery life...I'm now on 9.1.0.333 & I'm having to charge everyday even though I'm a very light user....After a full charge, battery is not even lasting 24 hours...In Oreo, I easily used to get 2 days+ with the same usage...
I feel like the 5000 mAH specification of the battery is either fake or is of very poor quality...
That is a strange one. I am also a medium to light user and can get longer than a day between charges.
One thing I always do after a major update is do 2 factory resets. One after the other. Then reload all my apps.
Will do the same if we get Android 10. May seem over the top and maybe unnecessary, but it works for me..

After a major update, I always do factory resets even like 4-5 times all at once just to be sure enough to clean everything up...I know it may sound like silly to factory reset so many times at one go but I'm doing that from Oreo & will continue doing that in Android 10 also...
Problem is, even after doing several factory resets & installing apps, for first few days or even weeks it shows good battery life left when checking the battery section of the phone but after sometime, let's say like after 1-1.5 months, the battery life gets bad again...
As an example, I recharged my phone yesterday (31st Dec) at 11 PM & currently it's 9 PM of 1st January & the battery life is at 35% now & showing about 8 hours left & all I did from yesterday was using FB & Whatsapp & that too not heavily as I mostly use my lappy to come online...
It's not at all possible for me to keep doing factory resets every month to get the proper battery life back...Oreo didn't have this problem for me...Yes after a period, the battery life used to get deteriorated a bit compared to a newly installed OS but definitely not to this extent like Pie...
Happy New Year to Everyone anyways...May all of your dreams be fulfilled this year & wishing lots of happiness & good health for everyone...
