I currently have an HTC sensation and the battery life is awful.
How long does your charge last and what are you doing on your phone?
There's a lot of thread like this one on the forum. And the answers are the same : you have to test it by yourself because nobody uses its phone like you. But to me, the battery life of the One S is excellent.

I came from Sensation also and I can confirm that the battery from HOS is way better than on the Sensation. I am a power user and my phone is near me all day long. With HOS I get approx 4.5 hrs screen on, 3G / WiFi always on , 1 hrs calls, internet browsing all day long + 1/2 hrs gaming session and my battery lasts from 7 am till 11 pm. At 11 pm I still get 10-15%. I guess if I was a medium to low user, the battery would last for 2 days for sure. With Sensation, with the same usage as mentioned above, I get from 7 am till 2 pm with indulgence (and I use a 1700mAh Momax).

I got a little over 6 hours (5.5 hours screen on) of constant web browsing and listening to music, with everything auto-syncing and both Wi-Fi and mobile data on. I was literally sitting with the phone browsing the web for 6 hours straight, barely letting the screen turn off (I was bored). In a less severe usage case I could see it lasting a full day and beyond.
What can I say? The battery life it's greats......

how's your battery doing guys when you go heavy use with this phone ? with or without wifi.
My battery is doing well, thanks for asking

before i rooted i had great battery life. Unless your playing games for a while with the screen on full brightness. I saw about a day to a day and 1/2
Rooting alone does not make a bit of differences to your battery life
Um y'all know that rooting has nothing to do with battery life, right?

My battery life increased 10 fold after jailbaking my phone...
I get 4 hours screen on time with average use
Total on-time varies with what I do. Could be 10 hours could be over 24
I'm usually listening to music, texting, playing the DS emulator, browsing, or just social media

so anyone ever reached the phone from fully charged with standard SOT 3-4 hours from your nexus 5 and the battery still runs good ?
For me the key about the N5 battery life is two fold;
1. It loses very little juice on idle, even with all of the radios on.
2. It charges exceptionally fast.
Now, if you run screen brightness up and use google navigation the battery can go fast. Real fast. But for me, what is important is that if I know I am going to be away from the charger for a while I can easily tweak my behavior to get me there.

i read a lot of post before getting Nexus 5 last year during summer about his terrible battery life
when i got the phone i could still run a normal day usage
i was reading this article and i add in "PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark" a nexus 5 and the result is
S6 7:14
Nexus 5 4:50
PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Batt...flagships-stack-up-against-each-other_id70173
not sure if this is realistic or many users has tons of app that drain S6, but if S6 has 25% more battery life that Nexus 5 i would say that is not that bad
Battery Life on the Galaxy S6 is about average at worse... but it is good... right now I have 10h 30m off charger and 2h 38m screen on time and 49% left... people just say that because it has the most powerful processor and best display on the market but the second smallest battery on any flagship... but it is more than numbers you know... and I have to say this thing charges incredibly fast... Dead to 100% in an hour and sometimes even less...
Battery is at most acceptable for daily use.
Acceptable, but not an issue because it goes from 40% to full so darned quick!
I have no idea how folks get such good SOT. I have never gotten more then three hours on any device. Some of that is that I have bad vision and I like it at least halfway to full brightness. I also have a great aversion to turning off any features. I paid to have a full featured smartphone, not a gimp!

the only way to compare battery performance of different phones is to do a maximum screen on time test with a comparable brightness,everything else just compares software wakelock bugs, most caused by 3rd party apps at that
(edit: or do screen off music playback like this test did)

I have mostly everything on except NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (only on when I need them) and I have brightness always either 50+ percent or 100 percent and get 5 hours SOT every single day. I do stream about an hour a day music through bluetooth and 4g to my car, and the usual, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera use, Texts, hour os so of calls. The phone lasts a full day.
The only reason this phone will have lower than 5 hours screen time is if you're using your camera, sat nav software, or games all day.

Camera! I'm always shooting... I do use bluetooth a lot, but that doesn't appear to drain it much. I also turn my brightness all the way up if I'm shooting outside. I hear that Samsung has research going that could double battery capacity, but it's a little way off. That would be wonderful. Until then, I am happy to be able to recharge so fast...
It's not great but good (enough?) (and perhaps pretty damn good regarding the battery size), and indeed charges hella fast. I came from the Z3 which lasted very long though so I might be spoiled...
I actually achieved 5hr SOT yesterday (and total usage of 2 days) but it depends so much on use. After recharging to 100% and using whatsapp a lot the battery drained a lot faster for example. Now at 35% remaining with 2:10h SOT (and whatsapp and google services being the top spenders).
But yeah
this fast charging is not going to kill the battery really fast?
The battery is ****. Very similar to the Nexus 5, if not a bit worse. I use my phone quite a lot during the day. From full charge at 7am, I get the 15% battery notice at about noon. I charge it using fast charger till it reaches about 45%.. By 5pm I'm getting the low battery notice again.
I had the G4 for a week. Nearly full day of use out of that thing with same usage patterns I have on the S6.
The battery life was designed as either a secondary device or for people with a boring social/work life.

I decided to keep mine because the build quality on the S6 is on par with the iPhone 6. I enjoyed the battery life in the G4 but didn't feel I got my money's worth in quality compared to the S6. The moment a higher capacity battery is released for the S6 is the moment I'll be completely content.

I was off the charger around 4:15 this morning. Down to 14% already. And it's only 8:40am here

Battery is surely not the best. With email sync using MailDroid, I had to charge the phone twice within the day. I don't use Facebook app, so that's a saviour. I stopped using MailDroid and battery life improved.
My usage is low to moderate, and am always on 4G LTE. Last 3-4 days I'm charging at morning 8 AM to 100%, it comes down to around 45% at 9 PM. I switch off Data at night and battery stays constant (maybe 44%). But again, if I keep screen ON for a while, then the battery is gone!
Battery is about as good as the S4, but worse than the HTC m8. Overall, it's awful considering you cannot swap it out. Unless you don't use the phone much during the day, you will need to charge it overnight and then once more during the day minimum.
This is pretty damn good in my book...
About 30 min of real racing and 10 minutes cs portable... the rest is browsing texting and youtube... half LTE and half Wi-Fi. I also had location services running on high accuracy the whole time sucking up battery life
Is it normal that Google service is always that high?

Oho really bad.
Same use with my lg g3 (that is very bad) i have still 35-45% with this kind of use...

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 Moto G5 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone can reach 9h SOT easily when on wifi. Battery backup combined with overall performance are the best features in this phone.
Too much improvement coming from 2 yr old htc one m9+ and battery is atleast 2 to 3 times better than that of htc its crazy. I didnt expect this from 3000mah
I have not been able to use my G5 Plus enough to kill the battery. I've gotten to about 5 hours a couple of times with at least 40% remaining. My Pixel would be down to 40% before 2.5 hours.

It's depend on how we use, when we play the game the sot decrease and when we use simple video play like each movie offline the sot is high.
Moto have a gud battery backup, especially the processor done excellent work.
Viper ROM with Dolby / viper rooted stock kernel
At 53%
Best screen on time of any phone I've ever owned. Even better than my original Moto G. Which I didn't think was possible. Getting consistent 4 hours of screen on time at 50%. I
Amazed myself. Couldn't believe it. There are so many things that this phone does better than my lg g5, my dad s7, or the iPhone 6 it's crazy. My lg g5 would be dead by the end of the day when I pulled a 14hr day at work (in our hub 5-7 hr screen off YouTube red, than 5-7 hrs of screen on, maps,GPS , googling while driving around). Got home at 7 pm Friday with 40% (I did a top up charge mid day from maybe 65ish to 90ish.....) But still.....
I am once again impressed. Excellent phone. Wish I would have researched phones ...which I will do from now on. Could have bought another Moto with the money I spent on my lg g5 (extra battery, power button, etc)

Usually would get 6-7 hours SOT over 24-30 hours. Heavy user, but where I live has really bad reception for my carrier, so I get a lot of idle drain from the mobile standby.
I use my phone a lot. Web surfing, forums, games, texting, not too many calls. Best battery life I've ever had and this my sixth Android. Still bootloader locked and running stock, I may not even bother to root this one.
Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
I'm currently at 4 1/2 hours screen on time with 46% battery remaining. I can easily get to 8 hours. I'm running the amazing AOSPA Rom right now as well. I stream a lot of music so I could probably get even more screen on time without all the music streaming.
i just got this phone wednesday 8pm and got a full charge in 1 hour, is sunday 8pm, 4 full days standby time plus 5 calls under 3 min each and 5 hour SOT total and i still get 32% battery left, this battery-snapdragon 625 combo is AMAZING, i come from 2016 top phone samsung S7 edge and i love this phone already. just got the best silicon lottery or what?
Tried to see how long it would last lowest I got the battery to is 31% and that had 6.5 hours screen on time. rooted with greenify. Was quite the surprise coming from a m8 getting maybe 2.5, if I was lucky 3 hours
In 2 weeks, I have twice now gotten 7+ hours SoT over a 16 hour period in mixed WiFi/LTE usage, and still had over 10% battery when it was plugged in at the end of the day. My last phone, a Moto X Pure Edition would be on the charger twice to make it though that.
No root, all services running, precise location and location tracking enabled, Google Assistant enabled, WiFI and BT on all the time, auto screen brightness, etc... I do nothing to conserve battery and on my average day I am still at 50% or more when it goes on the charger.
3 months in now and battery still great. Yesterday for example left with it at 65% around 1 pm and got back at 11 pm with still about 30% and used it quite bit. Compared to all phones I've had or seen in my family/friends circle this phone's battery life is amazing.

Hello, in 3 months you only used TurboPower?
Battery in Moto G5 Plus is very good. I usually get 7-8h SoT, but sometimes it increase up to 10 hours.
Completely stock UK G5 Plus here, i get 8 hours no problem.

Absolutely unhealthy to keep your battery draining that long. The longer the period is discharge, more harm to the battery. You should charge it every night, never met it get too low.
If you discharge your phone from 100 to 0% about 300 times, it will lose 20% capacity.
If you however discharge it from 100 to 50% 600 times, it will lose less than 7% of it's capacity.
So charge your phone every night.
Here's scientific proof for those who think I'm speaking nonsense.

SOT in 50% battery using VoLTE and 1.5hr nonstop voice call.
hi guys, would like to know if you are happy with the battery life or not.. can you get a couple of days battery life with moderate usage and 4-5 hours sot maybe? that's what I use to get with my xz2c... i know experience may vary from people to people and usage etc but with moderate usage it should be pretty clear what I mean... (messaging, browsing, emails, no games, and such)
and AOD turned on please!
tia!

I rarely look at sot but in general, after 4 days, the battery life is perfectly fine. Not stellar but I haven't hit 50% yet after all day use. I'd say easy 5 hours sot simply because I use Strava which is a battery hog while biking and running. With my P2 I'd come home with about 75% or less. With the P3 it's mid 80s and I still last the whole day without a charge. I tend to look at overnight drain AOD but face down so I guess that doesn't count, but I'm either getting 0.5% / hour or 0.6. On my P2 it was about 1.2% / hour. I'll check sot today and edit.

thank you very much sir for your reply so appreciate!
if someone can post also the overnight drain with airplane mode ON and AOD always ON too (that's how I would use it at night), that would be fantastic!
I got just over 5 hours of screen on time yesterday with heavy usage. 6:30AM to 11:30PM.
Adaptive screen brightness set to favor higher brightness. AOD enabled (this turns off when in a pocket or face down on a table, BTW). No gaming. On Wifi for ~70% of the day. Did not top off the charge at any point.
5 to 6 hr on lte. 6 to 7 on wifi. Like the pixel 2

I have only had it for a couple days, but I would never expect it to outlast an Xperia device. Those things go forever! I use LTE all day at work and then WiFi in the evenings at home. The phone stays on vibrate mode from 8am-5pm, and is primarily issued for occasional texts and checking XDA. I leave work with about 70% battery.
YouTube handles the rest of the load from 6pm-10pm. I don't track SOT but the battery percentage drops below 20% regularly with this routine.
Saturday when I put it on the charger at bedtime, it was at 51% with 4 hrs & 10 mins SOT. I thought that was outstanding.
I have super light usage and I get about 4 days. I didn't take a screenshot sadly.
Better than pixel 2 was...6.5hr sot on lte and 7 to 8 on wifi

That is normal. All of these high sot numbers are on WiFi only with special use cases, probably no cellular calls either.

I'm happy for those getting great battery life.
On mine it is definitely worse than my pixel 2 with the same usage.
I can get maybe 4.5 hours screen on time before it goes dead. Mixed LTE and wifi usage.
Hopefully it will improve after some updates.

My battery life is also noticably worse than the P2.. was running flash kernel on it and I know the P3 has a higher resolution screen but still.. If usually end the day with 70% left on my P2 whereas now I'm left with about 50%. All good signal LTE.

Lol, then you have no worries because you are clearly a light user. ?
It's still early days since I'm doing all the set up still which means more screen time than normal, but the fast charge is ridiculously good, even when connected to a PC.
Battery life is okayish. With normal use like browsing, some videos, light gaming, fb, insta, WA..etc it will go through till the end of the day. I get around 4-4.5 hours of SOT with WiFi, AOD off. I'll test it out more, probably.
