Hi there,
With 3200mah and a 6.39 screen I was wondering how much SOT are you getting with the device?
Thanks a lot in advance.

4-8 hours
Biggest difference for me over my last phone is not so much the screen on time, but the minimal drain with the screen off. After 30 minutes listening to the radio yesterday, it was still showing 100%. With my normal intermittent use of the screen, including the candy crush battery hog, I'll be down to around 50% by the end of the day without charging it.

Hi guys, I've got an LG Optimus One, and it seems like it's not having a good battery life, at least I believe, since this is the first smartphone I have.
So, I turned it on this morning at about 7:30am, got back home at 2:40pm and the battery is at 39%. If I get on the Battery Use screen, it says 42% Android System; 29% Display; 24% Cell Standby; 8% Phone Idle. That's all it says.
What did I do with the phone this morning: Checked out 1 web page like... 5 times during the morning, played Angry Birds for less than 10 minutes, took 4 photos and a 3 minutes video, checked twice the Bus time arrival... Played for 20 seconds a song at the max volume... And of course I looked at the time about 10 times. In total it is something like 30-40 minutes of usage out of 7 hours.
Is it really supposed to lose that much battery? What if I want to really use it? Will the battery drop in like 2 hours?
By the way, the LG Optimus One has got a 1500mAh battery, which to me seems to be quite good...
Try to condition the Battery, let the Battery drain completely, and then charge it up while its off. this way the life of the battery will improve, do it once a while

I've already done it, just yesterday
Battery drain is affected by several factors:
- If you installed a cooked ROM you may want to try another
- If you are in a low signal zone that also drains a lot
- If you have a cooked ROM try also changing radio version
- Buy a spare one

Thanks for answering. I'm not using a custom ROM, and I've got 4 out of 5 lines of signal
I guess i'll buy an other battery, maybe the one from Mugen Power, with 300 more mAh, which is nice Thanks anyway
Hi guys recently i have updated to 4.4.2 and my battery is draining fast like 13 hour with 6 hours screen on time ..... Is it normal or i am having battery drain issue ??
Are you crazy? 6 hours of screen on time is super amazing- you've got an awesome battery. If you are looking to extend your battery life even further then I suggest rooting your phone (if you haven't already done) and use greenify. Other than that, just turn your brightness down and manage your radios efficiently. As far as I can see you have amazing battery life. Do you game or do you just tend to go on YouTube, reply to texts etc...?

Hello there,
I have a K1 since a couple of month, update 5.1 installed.
While I can get a pretty decent battery life, there is still one thing eating most on my battery : the screen.
Most of the time, I get 2h and a half of screen on time, no auto brightness, set to the minimum. I end up with the screen being responsible of 85 or 90% of the battery drain !
This is bugging me a lot since I travel a lot and would like to be able to watch 4 hours of videos with a full charge...
Is my screen on time normal ? Is there any tips I can use to increase it ? I'm not rooted right now but I can look into it if necessary.
Thanks for your help guys !

To watch locally stored movies using MXplayer i get 5hours of movies. (10/30% screen brightness).
But yeah battery life isn't great on this device and yes the screen is always the main drainer for me too
Exactly what C4 says.
If you watch movies you don't have the brightness on 0%. What can make the difference is watching offline vs streaming! Streaming of course eats more battery.
And when you are a traveler consider a 10k powerbank to more than double your on screen time.
Well, the powerbank seems indeed to be the ultimate solution.
What bothers me is that you can tweak performance for app and stuff... and they end up taking no power at all anyway (not toking about heavy gaming of course).
Screen is always eating all the battery. I wondered if a custom kernel could make a noticable difference on this...
On any recent mobile device, when using it, the screen will be the biggest battery drainer, by far.
Only thing you can do (when using an LCD based device), is lowering the brightness. That's all.
Been getting about 14 to 16 hrs of battery life and about 4 hrs of SOT for the week. Main usage is web surfing, emails, whatsapp, YouTube and music streaming, no gaming.
Two days ago, I enabled the boost+ app and optimize most apps that don't need to run at full resolution. The screen on time seems to have improved a lot. Got 5hr 56mins of SOT with 14hr 46mins battery life.
This is much better than my HTC 10 after the nougat update. SOT approx 4hrs. I have boost+ running too.
Will monitor for a few more days to see if it is a one off performance.

Pretty good life!! mine gets about 3.5 hrs SOT, and about 13 hour standby, I also have boost+ on too. Curious as to what your brightness setting is, mine about 50% with adaptive on. I am rather heavier on my battery and network, so it doesnt surprise me that you're getting better life. (mine was better when I was on holiday with a better network connection).
About 45% level with adaptive on too. I think setting boost+ to run almost every app at HD resolution, excluding photo apps, helps a lot.
Good network is key too.
I am very satisfied with battery life when on WiFi 4,5-5 hours SOT), but when on LTE I get around 3 hours of SOT. I just enabled Boost+ to see if it improves battery life at all. I don't want to enable though FullHD for apps.
Do you use location services in high accuracy mode?
Here is mine, Charged up to 96% used until now.
Battery had become a bit crazy lately after updates to tons of apps. Just updated the firmware yesterday. Will monitor again.
Hi guys, hope everyone is doing good.
I wanted to ask that from past 2-3 days I'm facing very quick battery drain on u ultra. I'm hardly getting 2.5 hrs of Sot. Phone is heating too much.
Before this I was seeing around 4 hrs+ SOT that too with 1hr+ of casual gaming. I don't know what is wrong but I'm worried. My device is heating that's all what I'm able to notice. Any suggestions are most welcome. Except this, love the device.
Thank you.
It happened to me after updates of some apps.
The only way I solved it was to shutdown the phone completely. Wait for about a minute before powering up again.
Thinking about getting the U Ultra. Do you feel that the battery life is good enough?

Actually depends on what your daily usage looks like. If I'm on holiday or the whole day at home, one charge easily lasts for 2-3 days. But at university with every sync /bt/WiFi etc enabled and 50% brightness I get about 8h with high amount of screen on time (50-80%)

I usually use the phone for 2-4 hours per day but more hours during travel.
How much does the battery drain during standby? For instance, I you leave the phone in standby during the night, how many percent does the battery decrease?
Mine loses about 4% overnight (8 hours) which I think is exceptionally good!
For me it highly depends on which ROM and which apps I have installed. Recently the battery drain was about 1%/hour (150 apps, all syncing etc on), but right now after cleaning up a bit and nstalling greenify I'm back at ~3-6% per night.
I can get the black U Ultra for €291.99 here: https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/htc-u-ultra-64gb-4g-dual-sim-sim-free-unlocked-black.html
Tested the phone yesterday at a local shop here in Sweden, felt great in the hand and I really like the design. However, the battery life may be a deal breaker. Most of the phones I have used during the last 2 years has droppped 1-3 percent during night and I usually got 6 hours SOT over 24 hours. The last phone I used with weak battery life was Nexus 6, it gave med 3-4 hours SOT during 24h and that was slightly annoying. I get the impression that U Ultra is comparable to Nexus 6 in the battery department. :-/
That's actually a very accurate comparison. I replaced my Nexus 6 with the HTC Ultra and I'm getting almost identical SOT and battery life.

I get about 24 hours of mixed usage, which means I need to charge it up every morning, but I never seem to be able to get more that 4 hours SOT. Also, the rapid charger is slower than the Nexus 6. It takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes for a full charge.
I installed and configured kernel Adiutor/CPU Kernel state #on_demand and turned off #core_4. Now my battery/system working 2 whole days before charging!
Guys if i go to optimize apps and turn it on, Wen I leave it turns off again. Is this normal? I restart the phone and I already did a factory reset because the phone was updated alot the first time I use it, but it's the same. I'm getting about 3-4 hours off sot depending on the use. Maybe less. What do you guys think?
i got 5hrs and a few mins with the first charge (light use, browsing, installing apps, tweakin settings and 35mins spotify)
My pixel has been having inconsistent battery life at 100% after charging it will sometimes say 19 hours left then sometimes at 100% it will say 9 hours. Is anyone else having this is with the pixel? Is there something I can do to help my battery life I did a factory reset after the Oreo update and have most features turned off. I've had the phone for about a week now with the 100% battery life being drastically different with each charge. I don't have FB mostly still stock apps aside from a game I play. Thanks in advance for any help.
@subvapor It all depends on how you use your phone. This sounds normal and not an issue to me. The estimated battery life it gives you is just that; an estimate. Try this: charge to 100% and use your phone normally until it gets down to around 10% or so. Then check your screen on time in battery settings. I would say 4 to 6 hours is pretty average when it comes to the pixels.

Thanks for the help I get around 3 and a half hours to 6 hours of screen on time. So I guess I'm getting good battery life out of it. I'm just trying to make sure everything is good on it as I got it as refurbished on Amazon with a 90 day warranty. Loving the phone so far though!

Yep that sounds about right. If you take it off the charger and then immediately start using a battery draining app that will really screw up the estimation too.
