Very happy with SOT/battery life!

I couldn't be happier with the performance of this device.
Thank you moto!

Really? I mean performance is good but a lot of us here have crap SOT. Mine barely makes 2 hours of SOT, which is pretty low.

Which rom and what's the theme?

How are you managing 5-6 hours screen on time on mobile data and what are you doing? Nobody gets that without some serious tweaking and the screen brightness basically off... 5 hours of continuous use on WiFi maybe, maybe, but not on mobile data.

You may be the only owner of this device to ever actually type this out. I mean, battery life is fine, but if it was actually GREAT, it could have been one of the better Android devices ever made. Without it, I like the phone. And nothing more.

Its all true. I put this phone through a lot too. I've themed
every app and every icon. It seems like I'm constantly
changing something. I reboot between 5 and 10 times a
day also. I used to tweak it but I've found simple is better.
I haven't made any changes to the build.prop and the gov
settings are basic (attached). Here are some pics to show
some of my work.

I never noticed that "average" feature on GSM, but upon looking at mine, I am averaging 2:31. Yikes! I use xposed, Ambient display, and some other screen things like f.lux though. Not sure how to quantify the difference.
But to the OPs point about rebooting 10 times a day..I sometimes lose 7-8% of battery when I reboot so this is even harder to believe.

I'm going to try the CPU settings you have and see if it makes any difference for me.

Haven't had the device that long but I'm around 7 hrs SOT. No problems hitting 6 hrs.
Non-rooted, basic setup, sync on, data on all the time though I'm in a terrible area for T-Mobile so I've set it to 3g lately..... Most battery lost browsing the web. No WiFi.
Since I don't get a lot of notifications, or spend a lot of time on the phone or have social apps = good battery life.
I've got over 9 hrs SOT with my LG optimus g pro rooted and locked down. Easy 7.5 on that phone no matter what.
Got 9 hrs using my neighbour's Moto G4 Plus.

There is just no possible way this is true. SOT (screen on time) is not the same as the time it takes the phone to die after you pull it off the charger. Even the Nexus 6p has an average of like 6 hours SOT and it's got an extra 450mAh. Right now I'm running this phone totally stock unrooted without many apps and my SOT varies from 2-3 hours. Back when I was rooted and spent a lot of time doing battery related tweaks (which also happen to kill a lot of funtionality) I could get just over 4 hours. My sister in law has a G4 (non plus) and averages 3-3.5 hours SOT.

Always over 5 hours sot but it's not enough, I had a LG g2 and could get 7+ sot but that was only a 1080p screen, if Moto had chosen a 1080p amoled screen this phone would of been unbeatable.

I can honestly say 5+ hours SOT is possible. However, I achieved that with airplane mode on for a few hours and was reading a Kindle book with about 35% brightness, white text on black background. This requires little processing power and minimal touch interaction. On a regular day 3-4 hours is norm and this is checking emails, reading forums and news, reading some on Kindle, and about half of a day on 3g (not LTE). I don't get many emails, texts, or calls, so notifications are at a minimal (I have Moto display on). I also use Google now to track weather, traffic, packages, etc and have both Google and Moto voice off (just can't justify it when the mic button is just a tap). I just cannot see the SOT time you are claiming, especially if you are not rooted and heavily tweaked. I'm happy with my set up though and would not cripple my phone in the name of battery life.

I'm wondering if we should be considering the quality of the batteries being put into our devices. Look what got past the QC inspectors at Samsung's manufacturer. Makes me wonder how well they control their processes and how low a level of quality are they willing to ship out their door. Hmm...

How? I can only get 2:30 of screen, if I use it a lot, 3h...

Screen brightness is the key... The display panel is what takes most of the battery, if you turn off auto brightness and turn the brightness down to near zero you will get much higher more battery life.
The real problem with this device isn't the battery, it's the display panel (in regards to battery life).

My N6P is currently in the "shop", I got the dreaded boot loop of death. While I wait for it to come back, I've been enjoying the MXPE, excellent phone. I just wanted to add my comment to the N6P getting 6 hours of SOT. I bought it new in Dec. 15 from Google and the very very best SOT is around 3.5 hours. I'm a medium user I would say; email, messaging, web, some social media. I've tried most of the N6P roms and kernels and maybe with Franko's kernel I eked out a bit more, but never got more then 4 hours and that was rare. I generally have my display turned way down, turn off notifications except for messaging, phone, greenify. Nougat was better then MM, but not much.
So far the battery on the MXPE is pretty on par with the 6P for me.

The OP of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3249458
does pretty much exactly what I've always done, and the battery life is within 30 minutes of mine, I'm currently not rooted and can't disable as many continuously running background apps.
I've always cringed when I would read reviews and people on here about SOT whenever I was considering buying a device. But each person's way of using the device is unique -- one bad app can kill SOT, even using chrome as your main browser will put a big dent in it.
I would say, other than data being on always instead of on WiFi, I use my device like I've always used a pc or tablet.....
If I was only getting 3 hrs SOT I would only look at devices I could get an extended battery case for OR I would be tied to an outlet.
Nonetheless, 6+ hrs SOT is possible for this device -- regardless of what anyone wants to *believe* is possible

Got a new Pixel. Battery Life sucks. Is it normal?

Hello,
I've sold my S7 and bought a Pixel phone because of updates and design. It is very elegant phone and very very fast. But I've got a problem, battery life sucks seriously.
Here's some screenshots.
Because it is a new Pixel, don't think there is a faulty. I did Geekbench 4 battery benchmark and got 1700-2000 points and got over 162k Antutu.
Is it normal? Should I roll back to Nougat? Or else I will send it back and Pixel XL. I cannot afford Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL.

Rolling back to Nougat will do nothing good. Did you buy a new Pixel or an used one?

Same here. Bought a used Pixel 128 GB model last week that provides only 3 hours of SOT with normal usage (browsing, music, videos).
It's on Oreo 8.1 with latest security patch and NFC, location turned off. Still no good.

Excluding gaming, for chrome browsing, reddit, YouTube and Instagram plus a few other misc apps, I get approximately 3.5 hours on data and 4+ on wifi. Rma brand new set from Oct 17.
SD 820 is not really known for its battery efficiency vs the 835.

Your first 5 apps listed are using about 50% of your battery. On my pixel XL I could easily get 8 sot if I wanted. You should look for ways to reduce battery useage, like battery optimization and limiting power to apps not in use. What does the acc battery app say your battery health is? My battery preformed better after installed dp2, but was very good before installing dp2, it just got better.

I've got 100% battery health. Now I get 3-4 SOT, 10-14 hours standby. It is not the best, but it's ok.
How can you limit power to apps not in use? You mean deactivating background process? I did that already.

That doesn't sound particularly bad. I normally end a day on about 20-30% with 3 hours of screen time or so. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but it really is hard to compare two setups like for like. Even SOT is not a great measure because if you watch a 2 hour downloaded movie on Netflix with low screen brightness (for example) that will consume A LOT less power than playing a game or browsing the web for 2 hours... but both will just show on battery stats the same. Let's not get into whether you are a user of Google location services (for things like Google fit or Assistant etc), or streaming Podcasts over bluetooth...
Some people have already reported better battery life on Android P - though I take that with a slight pinch of salt as every Android release supposedly did that already.

Screen on time

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 6T before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

No small charges in between?

Phones get better mileage at/between different percentages so it doesn't mean much if your not showing a near full discharge...

Here's my experience:
Had it charged to 100% at 9pm.
The 68% screenshot was taken at 8am.
22% at 1:33pm
9% at 3:09pm

Wow, that launcher drains more than Play services

I'd say it's faring pretty dang well. Over 7.5 hours SOT with almost 2 days of usage on a single charge? This, to me, is absolutely astounding. OPO did a phenomenal job on optimizing this device. Coming from my GS9 which is barely over 4.5 hours SOT on a good day, and the Pixel 3 XL which is... unremarkable at best.
Edit: Oh and of note, Battery saver has only been on since about 10-11%. Was simply wanting to make sure it made it until I went to bed!

Mostly browsing with Chrome, but also Viber and Google Voice for messages, YouTube and YouTube TV. I'll be posting new screenshots which will include the usage details.

First day battery test was a near full discharge. NO BATTERY SAVER USED. Moderate usage few videos, pictures taken, music, settings being configured to personal preference and got 7+ hours of SOT with 32hours till 10%. Got down to 5% at the 39 hours mark with 8+ SOT. Does anyone have advise on a healthy charging habit to keep battery accurate and healthy, to prolong the life charge. Would be great for battery health advice. Thanks. Enjoy

OnePlus 6T providing amazing battery life. The screen on time is more than 8 hours. Surprised by the battery life as i coming from galaxy note 5.

Impressive battery
????

I'm consistently getting over 10 hours of SOT over a period of 24 - 30 hours which is insane.
This is mostly with streaming through Netflix and YouTube.
I have turned off the battery optimisations as well.

Nice going, op6t!
Started with 100% in the PM.

OOS 9.0.5, Completely stock.
With the latest update i feel like the oneplus team has definitely made screen unlock a few milliseconds quicker, and after installing the latest arnova gcam (with night sight), i feel like i don't have anything left to complain about this phone. On top of that it gives great battery life.
11+ hours over 2 days, although i admit i don't game at all.

I tried the Gcam 6.1 Port from pixel on OOS 9.0.3 but it drains the battery a lot. SOT down to 5 hrs from 8+ hours. Approx 10 minutes usage of Gcam reduces around 15% of the battery.

I don't really do all that much, some clash royale, reddit, random websites, and mostly youtube browsing, oh and for today I used GPS for the 3hr drive to and from a meeting (brightness at 70% the first hour and 25% the rest), and i was also able to pull off 10hrs SOT over 20hr period. Pretty great considering the same type of usage would barely get me 4hrs on my 3T.
Although im almost certain this is from the colder weather and darker skies. That 10hrs is probably more like 6hrs in the summer day. Im not even sure this is good by any means, since im so used to garbage battery lol
Shoot I forgot the screenshot [web link]

Battery discharge from initial bootup. Battery started at 54%.
4+ hours SoT
A lot of FB, Chrome and installing apps/initial configuration stuff.
Installed 9.0.5 update.
Still have 9% left and hour of estimated usage.
Loving the 6t and this amazing battery life. Came from a Moto Z Force.

T-Mobile variant
First charge
Off charger at 7am
Mix usage, call, games, YouTube, reading, browsing interwebs
Not bad.

how is battery life for you P3 users?

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!

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.

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.

Question Poor Battery

Got the pro delivered today. Ive noticed battery life is quite poor. Dropping 5-10% every 30 mins or so. Battery usage seems to suggest the google app is using about 25% of the battery. Usage is nothing over the top. Coming from a pixel 5 with excellent battery

OK...let's have it...how in the world have you been using the phone(s) for the last three weeks?

It's a 5nm(or 4nm) Samsung fab made SOC, it's going to have poor efficiency.

Because I work for a network in the UK. Only allowed to talk about them after launch

I'm not sure if others have issues with battery drain and I did see the article on display on the Pixel 7 Pro being a battery killer...but after using the phone for a few days now, I can confirm that the phone, software, all the fancy features are absolutely great but the battery sucks. This phone is a battery killer indeed. I'm monitoring with accubattery and trying greenify but no luck yet. I have even tried keeping the Smooth Display disabled/turned off (to prevent refresh rate being increased to 120 Hz) but the brain drain literally is insane. I am not an expert and I am not sure if more battery charge cycles, optimization through phone use etc will help over time either. I have tried restricting battery use for many apps as well and tried disabling background data for some apps - no luck on this one too. Hopefully the underlying cause can be fixed with some usual Google software patch magic...if not, it's going to a year of battery misery I guess. I'm curious to hear others experience and any suggestions. Thank you.

I am on the same page when it comes to battery... I have the 7 Pro and since 6PM last night it dropped to 38% with only 1h 45 min of SOT... That is never going to get close to even 3h of SOT.
It is on 1440p and 120hz but still, I don't think this is ok.

Mine is so much better than what my P6P was, yesterday i had 54% left after 17 hours off charge and playing with it given its a new toy, My P6P would have been down to 20%'ish.
I've lost 20% today (since 6.20am) but i have had Poweramp playing music for a couple of hours, i have been out and about taking photos and i made a 30 minute call.

Yeah, mine has been really good also. Really good idle drain and overnight it's in deep sleep around 97% of the time. Active drain has been good as well.

Mine seem to be be about on par with my P6P. Not great, but not horrible.

Compared to my poco f2 pro which only has a 4700mah battery the pixel 7 pro's battery life is pretty abysmal. I used to run twice the **** on that phone and it still didn't die as fast as the p7p. Hope a few firmware updates will get it to a better place. Turing off pick up and tap screen to wake made a little bit better but it's still abysmal imo.

For whatever it's worth, I've had mine (unlocked google / 512) since Thursday. Accubattery has been on since Friday when I rooted and started restoring apps . Just checking it and coming off a full charge overnight (trickle charge) it's estimating I have 11 hours of SOT, 62 hours screen off time. Since it was off the charger around 3 hours ago it's dropped 2% with 26 minutes of SOT.
To be fair I use my phone for email, texts, minor information/news gathering and music streaming and light photo/video recording without much running in the background so I'm not a high power user. YMMV

Weird. My experience is completely the opposite - 6 hours 23 minutes SOT with 21% remaining yesterday on my first full cycle when I put it back on charge. No complaints at all.

Did anyone with poor battery performance transfer apps to the new phone through cable? This has been bad for battery on new phones as ooposed to letting the new phone download the apps.....

The Pixel 7P and 6P I have here ran like total garbage when I transferred data between the two with a USB cable. A fresh install made both phones run great.
