So guys, how's your battery treating you? I'm get average Battery life with 3.5 Hrs SOT with alot of Android System Drain even when phone is just idle it loses 0.5 to 1% every hour
Will post screenshots later.
Doesn't sounds good.
I'll check tomorrow

i also got high android-system battery drain. i hope this will be fixed in the next update.
Mine is quite good so far. Easily get through 2 full days with 6+h of SoT. But I disabled alot of background stuff like health tracking etc. But android system is definitely using too much power on mine as well.
Btw just got an OTA update today. Version nr. ending in ......136 now.

Eva-L09, I haven't rooted yet but there are quite a few apps that you can disable/uninstall without root.
And Google services can be an issue too. I've read that wifi/bt scanning should be disabled in marshmallow. You can find them in the Google location settings in the advanced menu.
This is how it looks like for me after a full day (see attachment).
So far my battery last about 2 days, and SOT times are just under 6 hour when i looked the last time. Im very pleased with the battery
Got 5 hours

Good battery
I too getting good battery backup. And getting a screen on time of more than 5 hours. I left my phone fully charged yesterday night by 9:55 pm.kept my data connection on in 4g mode. Not wifi. And I morning it just lose 2%. I think the battery backup is fine.

battery drain in flightmode
Hello
My P9 dropped from 100% to 30% in 8hours, over night.
- phone was fresh rebootet before
- in flightmode
- fingerprint options off
- display always off
something from the system/launcher/default apps is draining the battery.
Phone is new, original System, i just added a handful of apps like whatsapp, telegram and so on and the design for non rounded icons.
Greetings and thanks for any idea
I've lost around 15 percent overnight as well
Facebook running in the background a lot seems suspect though.
Overall battery life seems pretty good though
Although I have no idea why the chart is always so squashed to one side :/

Also getting two days here
Night time the drain is almost zero which is nice to see when I wake.

8 hours would be possible with extremely good signals and low brightness I would think. Good SOT, I'm normally at about 5 isch but then I've also have most apps running after the screen has gone of.

I know I can look desperate, but this problem is driving me crazy.
My battery was good (but not perfect) in Android 6.0, but this latest update .224 is horrible! I have the same apps and the same use and with a maximum of 3 hours SoT! In one hour of normal use lose almost 10%!
Some people are having the same problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ues-32-2-A-0-224/td-p/1137290/highlight/false
I did not clean install of 6.0 to 6.0.1. I just did clean install of 5.1 to 6.0.
There are people who did clean install and are having the same problem.
Someone here is going through the same problem?
Hey, I had the exact same problem as you (UK Generic) and I did a clean install as well. I had to do a factory reset after installing and it took about 2 days for the battery drainage to settle down. Yesterday I got about 4 hours of SOT. I usually get around 2.5 days of battery which is similar to the previous firmware.
Try a factory reset.
To be honest, I'm getting the best battery life I ever had out of that smallish 2,900mAh battery + power-hungry Snapdragon 810, since .224
I still don't get the battery life I had out of my OnePlus One (that thing was a beast), but it's better. I get home after work with between 25% and 35% battery left now. With Lollipop and Marshmallow 6.0, pre 224, it would usually be between 15~20% (25% on good days), same usage pattern.
The Z5 is still not a very good phone in the battery life department, and probably neve will be, but it's better now.
One important thing though: I clean-installed .224

The funny thing is rebooted the device and now improved! Yesterday I got 4 SoT easy! I believe to be some kind of bug that was draining my battery! But anyway I will do a clean install!

I turned off once and giving reboot again, but had not resolved! The system android was 9% and then increased to 14% of battery usage. Is now 6%, ie normal.
I got 4 hours 40 minutes of SOT today, from 100 to 2%. This was mainly browsing and some videos over the span of 10 hours. If I'm lucky I can get 12 hours overall but with only 2-3h screen on time, as I don't use the phone as often.
I noticed something odd today - Wifi is now showing at he top of my usage details and it shows an entire span of Wifi usage (from 19 days ago, I think that is when the phone was updated). It has no impact on the battery life but it's just odd that "screen" doesnt show on the top anymore. I rebooted and the same thing occurs.
The battery usage screen really sucks now - you can't even see if the phone is "awake" or when there was wifi/mobile signal etc.
I got over 7hours with WiFi connected, Opera browser to read wattpad and my phone still had 27%. I've just unplugged my phone 2 hours ago and used it to surfing GG+ and Facebook, 20% for 2hour and 10mins usage. So it's good or bad? This result is a little better than my old Z2.
Same thing here. I usually have up plug in mid of the day just to make sure i have enough juice to survive the night. Around 3 hrs SOT only. Even with the auto sync off and wifi scanning off. Location service is off too. I don't see why the standard stamina mode has been removed that usually prolongs battery. I have doze installed for mobile data minimized but still around 3hrs or so

Which option do you see it?
With normal use, (browsing, social networks, videos, etc) I lose about 10% -15% per hour which I think is normal because I use it a lot. so it may last about 6 - 8 hours until it reaches 20% and I charge it immediately, I only drained the battery from 100% to 0% one time. Because I read somewhere full drains are not good for battery. Anyway if I play games, for example Need for Speed No Limits, I lose about 20% in an hour or so. so if I keep playing it will last only 4 hours aprox. maybe less. But there had been days where I almost don't use the phone and it lasts all day. So I really can't complain. But it certainly doesn't lasts 2 days as Sony said

After charging to 100%, it's gone.
I updated with OTA this time around, and not a clean install.

Got the new update promise to fix batt, did you guys update?
Without any changes on usage type (I cannot say its regular on everyday, but I can say that there is no difference between last update and and previous one) battery performance on last update is about half of the previous one! Even if the stamina mode is activated, draining is very fast on my device (z5 compact). Draining on stamina mode is larger than normal usage on normal mode (prev version). In short, this problem is very very bad on my phone. I'm wondering when this issue will be solved or this is just happened on my device?

Have to keep it in your mind.
I did clean install of .224, wipe everything. Let the battery dies completely and recharged up to 100% without stopping. I had a significant improvement in battery life!
Is anyone having battery drain issues?
I'm on the latest update, and it seems like I have to do a soft reset every other week to fix the drain, am I alone?
This is surprising, after the last update my Gear S2 has a much , much longer battery life.
Although, I have experienced issues in the past where the battery was being heavily drained by some of my watchfaces. If you go into your gear app, go into watch face.
In the top right corner you will see "my apps", go to updates and you may have watch faces that need to be updated to work more efficiently with the latest gear update. I would bet that this is the root of your issue.
If not resetting your watch should resolve the issue.
I'm having battery issues too.
Few days ago battery life was drained in 10, 12 hours. Since these day, every day the battery ends before the end of the day (middle afternoon).
I've performed a soft reset but it doesn't fixed it.
I've changed my whatchface but no effect.
All my apps and whatchfaces are updated.
I don't know what else to do.

Hello,
I have the same issue. I just got new gear s2 classic 4g gsm unlocked. When i connected with gear apps i has given me some updates and i did it. I noticed battery is draining a lot without using anything...
After some searches, I found some people that solved drain issues by performing a factory reset.
So, I dedided to try it and, good news, my issue has been solved.
I never will known what was the real problem, but now all is working correctly and battery life is as long as usually.
I hope this continues like now for a long time.

Hey,
so i recently found my gear S2 after my wife misplaced it a few months back. I updated it and immediately the battery started draining. Got about 5 hours before it died with little to no use. The next day i went in and deleted every bloat wear app that it would let me delete and turned off "Report diagnostic and usage info" in the gear info. and i've been using it for about 8 and a half hours now and I'm at 69 percent. It's only day two but i hope this helps someone out.

No I haven't moded it in any way. I haven't seen any advantages to fo so.
This is the second full day of usage that I am getting out of my Pixel 2 and the first day of moderate-to-heavy usage. The previous day I was at home, so I did not use it as much and I noticed that the battery life was not too bad. But given that I did not use it intensely, I cannot tell for sure. But today, I noticed significant drain in the battery during my morning commute. As an example, my battery went from 79% to 76-75% in a matter of minutes (about 10 minutes). This was very concerning and made me feel like the battery performance was not really much better than my nearly 2 year old Nexus 5X whose battery has noticeably depleted in capacity.
I don't know if this battery drain has anything to do with poor cellular network connection during my commute as it completely cuts off in many places, so may be I am draining more battery trying to connect to a network. Or may be it is due to using bluetooth earphones. But I want to get a sense of what others are noticing and how I can more carefully test the battery performance to get a clearer understanding about its performance.
Never judge battery life from a single day or two of usage. You'll need at least a week to see if the battery performance remains consistent.
Much better than my iPhone 7 that I switched from. Can't ask for much more than that. (never should have jumped to iphone 6 in the first place)
I certainly get much more battery out of my Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android One (Oreo).
Though 4-6 SOT hours in the Pixel 2 are not that bad, it feels like not enough in comparison to 6-9 SOT hours I get with my other smartphone.

I get at least a full day if I leave for work fully charged. Much better than iPhone. The best I ever got was 21.5 hours but that was only after having it a week.

Xiaomi Mi A1, comes with built-in Android stock, dual camera...bang for the buck right now, costs like 150-200$. You can check it out on xda, its battery numbers are impressive.
And installing Google Cam makes it perform great even in lowlight conditions, perhaps not very far from Pixel 2...
Enviado desde mi Pixel 2 mediante Tapatalk
I'm getting hardly 5-6 hours of SOT with medium to heavy usage. Battery capacity could've been bigger!
I'm not even getting 2 Hrs of SOT. I've had my Pixel 2 XL for a week now and the battery performance is abysmal. I have the screen brightness set to less than 50% and the phone is not modded or anything out of the ordinary like that. Thinking of formatting and setting up the phone again. This is so annoying.
Pretty crappy IMO. I can get a full workday but thats at min-med use.

What does "min-med" use actually mean? SOT is a flawed metric, but at least gives some standard of reference (though as people use different brightness settings, do different things with their screen on time, have different signal conditions, it's still not easy to meaningfully compare).
FWIW the one time I didn't charge mine overnight it ran for 41 hours, > 6 hours SOT, still 7% left. Of course I'm not playing online games on LTE at full brightness, and I'm sure it wouldn't last close to that if I were, but for my use (as a PDA, phone, browser, a bit of audio streaming and a bit of light gaming) it will reliably last a full day (not workday) with charge to spare. I don't see this phone's battery as a problem at all.
Alright, I gave this a few more days of usage. I am getting around 3.5ish hours of SOT with 30% battery left. Sometimes less, but around the same ballpark. I think I can safely say that this is significantly more battery than my old Nexus 5X, which I had to constantly charge throughout the day and still have issues with depleted battery by the time I reach home. So that's good!
For me the battery life is super, I didn't get such stats with my old OnePlus 3.

Poor reception is a HUGE drain on battery. Specifically, modems will try to search for service more agressively when they start nearing their poor signal thresholds. I have a friend who lives in an area that has just enough cell signal to destroy my battery! I always have to put my phone in mode when I'm at her house to save battery!
My battery life on my Pixel 2 is horrible. All radios off, full charge this morning, phone is completely wiped as I am selling it and its down 35% by doing nothing. No wifi, no sim, no apps, just on. Its garbage. That and the stiff buttons is a quick sell-off to me. Its a work phone so I dont really care. Having a much better experience with my moto Z2 play that i now use as a work phone (personal phone is a Note 8).

Sounds like a warranty issue. Did you try getting it fixed?
And how can you sell a phone that belongs to your employer?

edit 21:12: Few days working now. No problems so far. I like the improvement on settings, like alternative face in recognition part, for the rest I am not very thrilled. Maybe battery will be better. Difficult to check...

I test my phone's battery always the same way. Not sure if it is the best way, but it helps me:
I charge it to 100% before going to sleep and leave everything like Sync, Wifi and Bluetooth on.
With GSAM I got 0.7 till 0.8% per hour while sleeping, so from 100 till appr. 94% left.
With Android 10 it started at .1% per hour discharging, but it is is back now at 0.8%. Thats is OK to me.
Be careful. It is location dependent. I have another appartment that gives me 0,12% all the time because (I think) Vodafone antenna is further away.
