Battery Life and heavy user SoT on nougat

Hello guys i've been using resurrection remix rom based on nougat on my opo and i can tell i am a heavy user. Full wifi and whatsapp snapchat twitter instagram fully active sometimes youtube and half brightness mostly. But it seems i only get 2.30-3 hours of SoT. So at this point any advice counts. What about your stats? I think that SoT is low for 3100mah battery. Btw my battery health is good so no worries with that. I am waiting for your replies guys. Thanks.

it'll definitely.Make sure to calibrate your battery in between i.e. full charge from 0 to 100℅

I am already charging it like that. Well not 0 always because i am using actively but like %10 to %100 so on. It wont be a problem right?

Well,I was on miui8 before but it was sort of problematic and I don't had any backups but I had to go for a stable rom and I was not having enough data that day so only this old unofficial cm14.1 build was there in my storage so I flashed this but this is having some issues too as it is too old so I'll be flashing Setting Os in half an hour.

Which custom rom has better battery life than stock in google pixel

I have a 1 year old pixel 128gb.
I am getting terrible battery life of 3 hrs SOT on stock rom (unrooted). I know battery life subjective to how we use the phone. But i dont play games or any heavy work. Very less usage of phone.
Please advise me a custom ROM which has better battery life like atleast 4 -4.5 hrs SOT. Or else tell me that whether all pixel ROMs have same battery life.

Are you in LTE, or 1x/3g area? Perhaps your signal is weak and phone is draining trying to find the signal.
If that's the case, no custom rom would help that I don't think, its a service issue at that point.

I am on lte only......i have tested the mobile without sim card also.........battery backup is low SOT is around 3.5 hrs
I think some problem with battery or some stock rom issue.
Please tell me what is your SOT

same problem, any solution on XDA available?

I'm in the same boat, but from what I'm reading I'm probably just gonna have to install a new battery as the batteries tend to die out around 18-24 months. I know mine was bought new when the phone first came out in October 2016. So I'm looking into that route. ifixit has a guide up on how to replace it.

**FireHound**
You can try FireHound ROM. I am pretty satisfied with the non-gaming performance and SOT.

how much SOT? can u post screenshot
thanks in advance

good thread, I want to jump into a custom rom for this reason also but not sure which to go for.

Personally I prefer running Dirty Unicorns. This is a screenshot I took right now. I've been watching series, video chatting and browsing the web and youtubeing today. So with straight usage I usually get 6 hours of SOT. On a normal day (20 hours of usage gives me around 4,5 hours of SOT). I have also flashed Flash kernel and running it on stock settings. Screen brightness is around 20% most of the time and when I'm outdoor I use high brightness mode when needed. I don't use battery saving mode but I'm sure if I use that when the battery percentage gets low and if I use the smart pixel feature that DU offers then I could probably get out more SOT. The rom I'm using can be found on the discord channel on my signature. A new build will be posted this weekend, usually on Saturdays by shagbag913.

Before custom ROM how was your SOT on stock?

Probably cut down an hour on SOT on stock. Flash Kernel does a lot though. So I would say stock + flash kernel gave me better SOT than only stock. DU + flash kernel gives me more. It all depends on usage. I don't game but does consider my usage pretty average.

I haven't tried all kernels. The only one I have tried is Flash kernel and it gives you a bit more SOT as opposed to stock. Other kernels have more stuff that you could manually tweak and flash kernel keeps it simple and works great right out of the box.

Thanks for the reply.......is there any special instructions for flashing
Or just wipe and flash through twrp and gapps and reboot.
By the way i am on android 7.1.2

Android Pie GSI

So, there has been released an A/B Partition supporting Pie GSI.
Anyone has installed it yet?
Bug list shows NFC, Hotspot and Android 9 Vendor.
What does the last one mean I have no idea. Some discussion would shed some light here.

I will try to install it today after returning home

Does anybody has installed the Pie GSI? How is it?

But people says that HOS is very good in battery, the camera is worse than OOS camera

I am right now using Pixel Experience as daily driver. Unfortunately no magisk, hotspot, nfc, volte.

I've never seen a 10 hr SOT in other Rom. HOS is amazing!

Could you tell me what do you like/dislike in the ROM? Now that you're using do you recommend the ROM or what?

It's good for a daily driver, bro.
An issue is that I got frequent Volte drops which gets okay with a reboot.
And recent thumbnail corresponds to a different screen rather than The one which I have currently( I have no idea if you understood what I told)
Cons : no modifications yet I think, magisk modules , better mods and different kernel aren't readily there for P afaik.
That's the only thing I don't like about this.
Pros : substratum is working
Very stable and consistent battery life. (idk how it manages to give 8 hrs every single time)
And has every Android P features asusual ..
Peace?

The camera is better, equal or worse than the OOS? As far as I know the GCamera isn't working on HOS

I'm on HOS beta 2 too. Yes battery is really not bad when U use device, but on standby its draining a bit too much, I cant reach 8 hours SOT with more then 1 day after charge. But I can reach 8 hours SOT if im using the device constantly.
On OOS i had always 8-9hours of SOT, and 36 hours after charge.. but on OOS I was using elementaX kernel.
Plus hydrogen still in beta so it possible that they going to fix stanby battery a bit.
It dont have all the features of Pie. There is no:
1. App slices/app action
2. Feature when u can share images or copy text via app swicher (recent menu)

I think the second feature is only for pixel devices if I'm not wrong. I had a pixel and it had that feature in the first beta itself. And I did read somehwer that it's exclusive to pixels
Maybe you are right about the standby time. I've never let my phone pass 24 hours mark.

Maybe i am to stupid to flash any pie gsi. I tried many ways, and always end up in a bootloop or in the crashdump mode.
And yes both guides here in the op6 forum.
Tried all gsi out a/b partition. Tried without wiping data (one time worked but acore fc every ms)
So how does someone get it boot without a problem?

It would be a shame then if it only for pixel devices..
But here is possibility that oneplus didn't implemented yet this feature. I hope so

Miui-v10.3.4.0.pdgmixm global stable

There is a new version avaiable.
The changelog does not tell much more than a new security patch (June 2019).
Maybe we can find some little goodies anyway.

dont know for little goodies but camera in night mode is still broken (still ****y noise on picture using night mode), i dont know why they even calling that **** "night mode" when it is useless, i know lot of guys say use gcam, im using but still that doesn't means xiaomi doesnt need to fix that.
last 2 updates this issue is present...im really starting to hate xiaomi bcs of software support.
It looks like xiaomi devs working only on pocophone and still can't fix anything on poco also

In my daily use (18 h = 16 wi-fi and 2 4G), my SOT it's between 5 - 5,5 h.
10.3.4.0 feels more smoother and brightness sensor is less lazy.

Is anyone having any weak signal issues with this rom ? I went from RessurectionRemix to this via MiFlash and I get very weak or no signal in places where i had good signal previously.
No root and i don't want to root as the online banking applications i have to use complain about the phone being rooted

Yes, it's my feeling that signal is weeker than on previous ver

Which version worked best for you, signal wise? I saw people were having problems with 10.2.2.0 and i'd downgrade to something with better signal. Would that mean prior to 10.2.2.0 or is there something more recent that works ok?

I was only using 10.3.3.0

I'm seriously thinking to go and try some custom roms hoping for better batterylife. I barely get 5h of sot with stock rom. And I don't even game at all. Only chrome or brave browsing, facebook, instagram and youtube vanced. I get solid 4G connection all the time. And at home I'm connected to wifi. Screen on half brightness, 90hz and fhd. I really don't see a difference on battery draining with any resolution. All apps but messaging apps are optimised. After the android 10 ota upgrade I have once did a full factory reset even. But that didn't help at all.
Even tho any of my country's banking apps wont work after rooting, I'm willing to sacrifice that for better batterylife.
