Hey all,
so I recently upgraded from a N4 to the N5. After two charge cycles, the N5 seems to be performing far worse than my N4 (both stock unrooted). With my N4, I could usually get 14 hours with 3 hours SOT (all on wifi). With the N5, I can't get more than 12 hours with 2 hours SOT (all on wifi). Currently I'm at 10 hours with 1.5 hours SOT and I have 24% left.
I also took a look at what people reported in the Battery Life Results thread and I saw several people (stock unrooted) getting 16-20 hours with at least 4 hours SOT. This is nothing close to what I've been getting.
Do you guys think it's possible that I got a dud? I tried reflashing it with the stock image and the first cycle since has been about the same. Not sure if I should wait a couple more cycles to see if it will improve or try to get an RMA for it.
Thanks for the help guys!

Probably depends what your doing with your SOT and what they doing which is why your getting different results.

The SOT I'm using it for is just web browsing, fb, and texting. No games or anything that intensive. Also gnow and auto brightness are on.

ditch location stuff, GNow, and find a stable brightness. Disable stuff you don't need as well (may or may not help..i'm noob)

web browsing could actually be CPU/GPU intensive (depending on how many tabs you open, how fast you scroll {remember, GPU/CPU works harder if you try to scroll up/down very fast}, how fast you move from webpage to webpage})
definitely turn off auto brightness. also ,install the nexus5 version of the Better Battery Stats to see if any wakelocks prevent your phone from sleeping. From mine (and other people's experience), the nexus5 sips very little battery when idle (even with email sync on through 3G/LTE data)
If I do web browsing, Battery Monitor Widget says my battery drain is around 15-30% per hour (because CPU scales up in response to my frequent open-new-link/new-tab), so I'll get ~3-5 hours screen-on
If I do only video watching, BMW says my drain is closer to 10-15% per hour, so it'll last ~7 hours screen-on
with very good idle-battery-usage (0.5%-2% per hour), I can probably hit 3 hours screen on + 24 hours easily (25% * 3 hours + 1% * 24hours = 75% + 24% = 100%)

Remember this phone has kit Kat and your nexus 4 probably has 4.3. This version of android seems a bit more aggressive on the location services.

So it sounds like other people are getting similar battery life? I'm just confused because it seems to be doing worse than my N4. Did people notice significant better battery life after the first 3-4 charge cycles?
Thanks for the help everyone!
Hello everybody if only anyone on you can share with us his screen on time and battery use
I usually get 8h30 of screen on time with regular use (internet, few games and so on), I will get screenshots at the end of the day. This phone is amazing, never seen a phone have a battery life as good as a tablet lol.
i can get more than 7H i'm in stock rom rooted i use greenify ... i see a video on youtube with 10h sot i dont know how hi did it :/ but i want to do the same
10 Hours SOT.
I usually get 9 hours or 10 hours screen on time usually with wifi on and some gaming. Simply its performance is very good. Never experienced such battery life before.
I got 6h on mine with normal use. Facebook instagram search things some location not much gps. Data or wifi always on. But the thing that impresed me is not the sot but how much it took to discharge. 6 days ..omg 6 days with 6h on screen time. As you can see i still have juice left.
Forgot to say : j7 2016 25% brightness no saving no nothing. Stock.
Hey i wanted to know what the average screen time a lg g3 has. Mine runs for about 4 hours at light usage. 3 hours on heavy usage ( gaming, browsing etc). Is this alright or too less?
I think that's great sot.. I usually gets around 3hr sot even on light usage..
I get about 12-15 of on screen time and a day of use. On the latest cm13 nightly from the 18th. It depends but the least ive gotten was 12 and the most was 15
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)
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

Can you all please post actual stats with screenshot. Mine doesn't hit more than 5 hours with mixed wifi and lte usage.

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.

That is ****, sorry but it is, i would expect with network on, wifi on, aod on to give at least 6h sot
