OnePlus 6 Battery Performance: Initial Impressions - OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys, I almost got around 10 hours of screen on time with casual usage. So, I think I can easily get around 7 hours with gaming. How is your battery performing?

Got about 5.5 hours of SoT with some heavy use. Was gaming (idle game that keep the screen on), along with some pokemon go. All while downloading a few thousand songs, updating apps, OS etc. Considering my s6 lasted about 1.5hrs if I did this I'm well satisfied.
Also charged it before bed, and was at 99% when I woke up 8 hrs later, even with all social media apps installed.

99% after 8 hours? That's seem odd. Mine gets to 100% in 1:30 hours.

I think he is saying 1% reduction in battery from full charge overnight so very good screen off idle drain

I was able to get over 10 hours SOT regularly with my OnePlus 5. I'm hoping it's just as good if not better. But I'd settle for about the same due to the larger screen with more pixels.

Phone seems to run a bit hot. Got better SoT from 5t, but that was with LineageOS.

5t got 1hr Screen on per 10%

59 minutes of PUBG reduced 23% battery. This is without gaming mode.

I think so but I am not 100% sure. I will play again and then I will let you know.

Are there any tips for maximizing battery health over the long term?
Like avoiding half charges and all that kind of stuff?

I'm also really enjoying this phone. Ive been using it a lot today on 4G with no WiFi. No gaming but mainly social media apps and roughly on track for just under 10 hours SOT.
This is my first run with a rooted phone as the last couple of days have been stock and getting between 7 to 8 hours SOT.

the autonomy is excellent and depends on the use too.
in my case I have 1 day according to the usage see 2 in moderate use.
after I invite you to search the net energy-consuming apps, you will be surprised and surely understand better your over-consumption.

Pokémon go for a couple of hours while playing music, playing marvel strike force, watching a fair bit of YouTube on top of constant Facebook and WhatsApp activity I get a solid 7 and a half hours. Not quite as good as my Nokia 8 I came from but definitely happy.

I get 6 hours with very light use with quite a low brightness and as many black themed apps as possible.

Actually the best way to maintain a lithium battery would be to charge it from like 60 to 70 percent and never let it go above or below that.
More realistically, plug your phone in to charge up to somewhere around 80% when you get a chance throughout the day, avoiding letting it go below 40% when possible. Don't worry about charging your phone to 100% when you might need the battery though (for example don't risk getting lost without a phone for 911/GPS on a hike), just mainly avoid leaving plugged in WHILE it's at 100% and definitely do not store it at full or nearly/completely dead charge for long periods.
The charging port is a completely separate ribbon for the OP6 that should be stupid easy to replace so my advice on that would be don't worry about damaging your charging port as long as you're not handling your phone constantly while it's plugged in. For me, I'm going to wait until the charging port assemblies get really cheap and then buy maybe 2 or 3 for future use, so I won't have to worry about wearing out the phone, it's certainly more desirable to open it up and lose the water resistance than to have to buy a whole new phone simply because of a non functional charging port.

Battery drain?

Hi fellow Nexus owners.
I've noticed recently (past month or so) that my phone's battery life has taken what seems to be a significant hit. I was getting around 15 hours on a charge with light to moderate use. I am now consistently getting 10 hours or a little more.
I'm running 4.4.4 stock, WiFi on, GPS = high accuracy, and have used both ART (current) and Davlik with roughly the same results. I'm a bit disconcerted by the higher battery use by Android System and Google Play Services.
I contacted Google, and was offered warranty replacement. However, I'm not sure it's worth it. How does this compare with your battery performance? Is it expected for an 8 month old device? Thanks for your input.
one important thing, how much screen on time do you get? as how long the phone last between charges doesnt say anything, as we all use our devices differently. for example, i only see about 7-10 hours, but im a heavy user, that sees about 5 hours screen on time.
Go to the battery help thread in my signature.... Read the first 4 posts. If you need help still, post the recommended screen shots from post 4. ?

2.5 is normal, on the low side, but normal. 1, yuck!
Turn your brightness down! i keep mine about 15-20% most the time. when i raise it to 35-40%, ill get 30-60 minutes screen on time less. also, wifi, bluetooth, turn them on only when you need them. speaking of wifi, go to you wifi settings, hit the 3 dots in the bottom right, press advanced, then disable scanning always available. this will keep your wifi really off when you turn it off. otherwise google uses it to look for your location, even when you turn it off.

Do your methods help 100% of the people that follow your guidelines? Just accept that the battery is only 2300mhz so by tweaking a few settings would maybe add in an hour of juice give or take. Believe me, I have tried everything suggested, and have owned this device since release, the battery is Underpowered when used to power up a 5 inch, 1080p screen. You won't find anyone saying the battery is way too overpowered.

i do zero tweaking really, and get around 5 hours screen on time. all i do is run rastakat/trinity, keep crappy apps off my device, set up my device right, keep my brightness lower mostly, and i live in great coverage with great lte data speeds.

If you get 1 to 2 hours screen time.... You either have a defective battery. A very poor signal while in data. Or a really bad draining issue from an app or something.
That isn't normal.... And is well below the average. Well below the low end of the average. And that's average with everything on... Every feature.
But OK.... You win. I'll shut up about it. ?

Or you have a wakelock Issue... Another reason why it would be any less.

I have noticed exactly the same thing for around a month, and Google Play Services now constantly appears on my battery stats. I was fairly convinced it's an issue with the Google Play Services 6.1.xx update as I was getting this wakelock:
wake:com.google.android.gms/.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService
Googling it reveals little.
As an example, at the moment my phone has been off charge for 26 hours with 1 hour 40 mins screen time and is at 10% battery. That might not seem too bad but I have a screenshot from around a month ago where I had 49 hours off charger with 4 hours 2 mins screen time. Like you, 4.4.4 completely stock unrooted.
I'm going to see if the imminent Lollipop upgrade magically fixes it else it'll be a factory reset for me as I've given up finding a cause.

Try this and report if your battery life gets better

Friends,
I'm currently using H990DS from Taiwan, normally the phone lasts until 5pm (about 2h30 - 3h screen on). This happened with all my previous devices with promised good battery life like Note 4 or G2. I only installed standard apps like facebook (i know it drained battery), instagram, flipboard...
So yesterday, I did something that today, the battery improved greatly. It's currently at 49% battery with 3h15min screen on, of which over 2h45min of Clash Royale (over wifi)!
So you can try this and maybe it will improve your battery life. I know it work for me, not sure about everyone else.
Step 1: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard
Step 2: On Audio, may be you see the Audio history is Enable. Please disable it. What it does I believe is to turn off Ok Google detection.
Let's report if you have better battery after.
I will try it. Thanks
Will try as well.
I'll give it a go as well.
I'll try too, it's here to disable btw https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols

Day 1: No obvious change, at 50% with about 2 hrs of screen on time, just like before. Although my use case may be odd, since no matter what I've done by the end of the day my phone idle takes anywhere between 10-20% in the battery usage menu. Anyone else seeing this?

I suggest you update all the apps, clear the cache in Smart Cleaning. Then restart the phone.
If you it doesn't get better, I think you should remove the battery for 2 mins. plug it back, charge to 100%, use the phone till 0% then charge to 100% again to see if it gets better

Already done all of this previously. I guess I will try once more.
disabled it now, i'll test it tomorrow and will give my feedback in the next few days
So it's been over a week I think since the last post, I find that under my usage (medium to heavy) I get around 4 hours screen on time consistently. In the picture shown, I had around 55% battery with about 2 hours screen on time. However, what I don't get is the phone idle time battery usage. Just look in the picture and you will see what I mean. Furthermore, for half of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, which makes it even stranger. If anyone else is getting something like this or has any suggestions/requires further info, please let me/us know.

You have been using the phone for 15 hrs or more. Yes you used it for 2 hours SOT but for 13 hrs it was idle, that is why phone idle is the biggest battery drain imho. Anyway try using the mart cleaner, it may help reduce idle time battery usages.
Sot is a horrible reference point. You could be using maps in with the screen off, streaming music with the screen off. There's all kinds of things while the screen is off that can consume battery. If your phone can get you through most of the day without a charge you're good. Stop putting so much emphasis on sot..

My point was that Android 7.0 nougat and updated doze have been giving people great standby times, like 1 or two percent gone overnight, without airplane mode too. Compared to my experience, that seems massively different. I was simply wondering if what I had was normal for my LG V20.

Also, for most of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, just sitting in my pocket(I would say about 8 hours of the day or maybe a bit more or less), and the pictures show are similar to what I do every day, and I also use airplane mode the same way every day.

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 OnePlus 5 before depleting the battery.

If you use the device without too much idle/commute you can get real pretty SOT on wifi.
Display at about 15-30% with auto brightness.
Chrome, YouTube, twitter, facebook, reddit, etc.

all wifi? can you post all battery details?
I only get 4 hours of screen on time with Greenify
Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

I'm getting amazing battery life out of this thing. Regularly hit over 6hrs screen on time when I'm out and about, and at home on WiFi it's approaching 10hrs! That's with everything switched on and no battery saving measures applied
+1, battery life is pretty good. Using phone for around 4 - 5 hours SOT watching video, with WIFI,4g and bluetooth on - using bluetooth headset - and goes from around 94% to 66%....
Not too shabby in this day and age. I have other phones that, with that usage, would be in the 10 - 20% range after that usage.
Got my OP5 rooted and i want to install a dark theme + battery safer.
Did some research but the stuff on playstore has tons of negative feedback that it is crap and doesn't work.
So how do you do it?
I'm already using the systems own dark mode, but i want to utilize the maximum and use a dark theme that makes everything pure black.
I read in the S8 forums, that the phone automatically doesn't light up pixels that are black, is it the same for the OP5? Is a "turn off pixels" app even needed?
Thanks for any help.
Usually my screen reach over 6 hours on.
I always have the manual brightness.

I suggest you to go for custom ROM like Resurrection Remix Unofficial. It is OMS so theming is so easy peasy. I had so much trouble with theming OOS. Lots of time I got stuck on bootloop which can't even substratum_rescue.zip solve. And RR also now has OOS camera, so I will highly suggest you go and try it. It is battery friendly as well. Especially when you use Lightning kernel + spectrum app with battery mode.

great device, get 5hrs of SOT under moderate usage
Wow, 8.5h sot is a lot! Maybe I need to check the battery guide out. On the other hand I was playing with the Honor 9 all day because I have it the second day and got 7 hours sot with 5% left. More than enough for me normally!
So, how does it compare to honor 8, is the additional 200mAh makes any noticeable difference?!
That's all I need to know
I think the battery life of the Honor 9 is ok but could be better. I am used to Samsung devices with OLED display technology where you get better SOTs. In my case with my Honor 9 I get around 7 hrs SOT and 1.5 days of usage without charging (with some battery tweaks and screen brighness to 50%). In comparision with my old Galaxy A3 I could reach easily 2 days which was perfect.
If the Honor 9 would have OLED display it would be amazing. Maybe the next Honor will get one, then I definately would buy again.

That's great, is it heavy use or moderate?!

I would say moderate use. I don't play any 3D games with it. I mainly use Whatsapp, email pushs (4 accounts), quiz apps and YouTube.

Ok understand I today install Greenify and activated Aggressive doze via adb so I will post here results (no needed root)

Ok 90% left 1:39 sot... Nonstop browsing web in Chrome and checking/texting on XDA hm, should by Greenify works?

Sounds interesting. I don't have any experience with Greenify but 10 % drop sounds less than normal. Which screen brightness do you use? In chrome do you also use it in data save mode?
Rommco05 said:
Yes I will reported when 50% of battery gone. Brightness is on 25-30% and no data saver in Chrome. You use data saver? Is it discutable if this can help improve battery, better to say not much tested data savers. I think android must work more if want to save some data...

Yes I use data saver in Chrome. I think it does a good job and it even tells you how much data it saves (in percent). For me it is around 15-25% less data for different websites. Less data exchange means also less battery drop and faster site loading. I would recommend it.

After udate to B130 not very good :/ I cant get more how 6h. Before on Honor 8/B389 I easily take 8h and H8 have 3000mAh and H9 3200mAh battery! No B130 is not good firmware definitely no I thinking about comes back B100...

Good to know that I have waited and not installed the B130 update yet - I am still with B100. When I now check at System Update, I don't find the update anymore. I guess Honor has removed the update?

From what I read, yes it did remove it (mainly because it found a bug or something)
My honor 9 only gets about max. 4 hours of screen time with battery saving on and it doesn't last me a day with average use. I play one game but it's not a heavy one (clash of clans) but only for about max. 30min/day. My battery even drains faster than my galaxy j5 2015 (who is 2 years old) which is dissapointing. I lose about 5-8% battery for Facebooking for 10minutes.
Is there something wrong with my device or is it just my usage?

I get the same thing with my Honor 9 with the same model name. About 4-4.5 hours screen time when doing no power intensive task what so ever. No games. Just some web browsing using Chrome and always using Huawei Battery optimizer with minimal amount of apps running in the background. Location services and accounts syncing is turned off Really happy with everything else about the device..

What should we do with our device?
Should we just wait for updates?

I'm still in time to return my phone to the shop if there are any problems with with or if I don't like it. So I could basically ask for a new phone and give mine back to the phone. Would that solve any issues? Or should we just wait for updates?

I'm happy with the rest of the phone, so I'll keep mine. I just think it's a shame that the battery life isn't better than this on my device, but maybe it can get better with future updates.

battery performances post

Hi guys lets post the battery stats of your oneplus 6 devices. I'm getting around 6 hours of usage with 70% on mobile data and rest on wifi.
Let's share
Same here. Not so bad

Gaming mode uses a lot of battery juice?....i m so disappointed that i thought of even returning it:crying:
This is what i m getting
Here
I'm consistently getting over 2 days and 8h SoT, which contrary to many reports, is better than I got on my 5T and maybe slightly better than my 5.
No ones use case is the same though. I'm currently off work, so that contributes a lot to it, otherwise it'd be closer to 6-7h SoT during the day, due to between 6 and 8 hours of bluetooth music streaming whilst working.
I have 30 apps total, most of which are hibernated due to lack of use thanks to doze. What I do use regularly is Chrome, Youtube, Sync Pro, and Fenix.
Auto brightness on, location disabled, random crap like the Google app disabled as voice assistants are still half baked, even Google Assistant.
Very pleased with the battery so far. This was my result this weekend. WiFi/4G on, no BT and no location services. On a regular working day I get about 5 hours SOT as I use WhatsApp a lot more and have location services turned on.
