I have a Nexus S with a jellybean stock ROM. Batterylife is currently very poor. I only can do like 5-6 hours on one charge. When you google on battery life Nexus S you see that many people have this problem as well.
I was wondering if I root the phone and install Cyanogenmod if battery life should be better. Any comments?
It depends on how do you use your phone and on your battery's state.
With cyanogen (CM stock kernel) I do 2-2.30 of screen usage, 30-60 minutes of calls, 30-40 minutes of navigation and minimum 30-40 whatsapp messages ( I have disabled all syncronization services except those fo Google)
Well, I have a ns4g and I would say it depends on your usage. I'm getting about 2.5 hours of screen time. If I disable sync & data and such it idles pretty well but I also have 3 accounts that I sync. JB is definitely worse than ICS, where I didn't really need to care that I own 3 chargers and 2 spare batteries.

How long have you used the phone? If its more than 1 year and a half (like me), I just did something that gave me a better battery life.
wait for it..
I bought a new battery. no kidding. I got 13 hours battery life with 2 hours of screen on time. All Stock, like you
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 Moto G5 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone can reach 9h SOT easily when on wifi. Battery backup combined with overall performance are the best features in this phone.
Too much improvement coming from 2 yr old htc one m9+ and battery is atleast 2 to 3 times better than that of htc its crazy. I didnt expect this from 3000mah
I have not been able to use my G5 Plus enough to kill the battery. I've gotten to about 5 hours a couple of times with at least 40% remaining. My Pixel would be down to 40% before 2.5 hours.

It's depend on how we use, when we play the game the sot decrease and when we use simple video play like each movie offline the sot is high.
Moto have a gud battery backup, especially the processor done excellent work.
Viper ROM with Dolby / viper rooted stock kernel
At 53%
Best screen on time of any phone I've ever owned. Even better than my original Moto G. Which I didn't think was possible. Getting consistent 4 hours of screen on time at 50%. I
Amazed myself. Couldn't believe it. There are so many things that this phone does better than my lg g5, my dad s7, or the iPhone 6 it's crazy. My lg g5 would be dead by the end of the day when I pulled a 14hr day at work (in our hub 5-7 hr screen off YouTube red, than 5-7 hrs of screen on, maps,GPS , googling while driving around). Got home at 7 pm Friday with 40% (I did a top up charge mid day from maybe 65ish to 90ish.....) But still.....
I am once again impressed. Excellent phone. Wish I would have researched phones ...which I will do from now on. Could have bought another Moto with the money I spent on my lg g5 (extra battery, power button, etc)

Usually would get 6-7 hours SOT over 24-30 hours. Heavy user, but where I live has really bad reception for my carrier, so I get a lot of idle drain from the mobile standby.
I use my phone a lot. Web surfing, forums, games, texting, not too many calls. Best battery life I've ever had and this my sixth Android. Still bootloader locked and running stock, I may not even bother to root this one.

I'm currently at 4 1/2 hours screen on time with 46% battery remaining. I can easily get to 8 hours. I'm running the amazing AOSPA Rom right now as well. I stream a lot of music so I could probably get even more screen on time without all the music streaming.
i just got this phone wednesday 8pm and got a full charge in 1 hour, is sunday 8pm, 4 full days standby time plus 5 calls under 3 min each and 5 hour SOT total and i still get 32% battery left, this battery-snapdragon 625 combo is AMAZING, i come from 2016 top phone samsung S7 edge and i love this phone already. just got the best silicon lottery or what?
Tried to see how long it would last lowest I got the battery to is 31% and that had 6.5 hours screen on time. rooted with greenify. Was quite the surprise coming from a m8 getting maybe 2.5, if I was lucky 3 hours
In 2 weeks, I have twice now gotten 7+ hours SoT over a 16 hour period in mixed WiFi/LTE usage, and still had over 10% battery when it was plugged in at the end of the day. My last phone, a Moto X Pure Edition would be on the charger twice to make it though that.
No root, all services running, precise location and location tracking enabled, Google Assistant enabled, WiFI and BT on all the time, auto screen brightness, etc... I do nothing to conserve battery and on my average day I am still at 50% or more when it goes on the charger.
3 months in now and battery still great. Yesterday for example left with it at 65% around 1 pm and got back at 11 pm with still about 30% and used it quite bit. Compared to all phones I've had or seen in my family/friends circle this phone's battery life is amazing.

Hello, in 3 months you only used TurboPower?
Battery in Moto G5 Plus is very good. I usually get 7-8h SoT, but sometimes it increase up to 10 hours.
Completely stock UK G5 Plus here, i get 8 hours no problem.

Absolutely unhealthy to keep your battery draining that long. The longer the period is discharge, more harm to the battery. You should charge it every night, never met it get too low.
If you discharge your phone from 100 to 0% about 300 times, it will lose 20% capacity.
If you however discharge it from 100 to 50% 600 times, it will lose less than 7% of it's capacity.
So charge your phone every night.
Here's scientific proof for those who think I'm speaking nonsense.

SOT in 50% battery using VoLTE and 1.5hr nonstop voice call.
i´ve been using the mate 9(l09) for about 9 months and at the start the battery life was the best i had experienced in a smartphone, after a month the battery life was noticeably lower(4hr 30min hr sot) that when i got it. i was on some weird latin firmware(mha-l09c212b181) and rebranded to l09-C432B198 hoping to get more sot but only got about 10 more min.
Any suggestions of firmware?or should i replace battery? whats your experience?
What's your daily usage like?
Maybe you've installed a rogue app that's draining your juice?
Been using my phone for a year now and I still hit 9 or 10 hours of sot.
YMMV, i would trace back on what app you installed before the whole issue occurred, if not worst case scenario is to hard reset everything, make sure to back up all your stuff.
If no change then either your usage habits are greater than when you got the phone or a defect in the battery
One year using this phone and Im still able to get 9 to 10 hrs SoT within 2 day usage. I used fb and fb messenger a lot (4-5 hrs), web browsing + video (2-3 hrs) and of course 2 hrs of playing games. It's still a beast for me right now, no phone can replace it, maybe mate 10 or other Kirin chip phones. For me, Kirin is extremely good in managing battery and multi task, my phone is always smooth and fast as hell lol
My phone is so much better on Oreo battery life.i don't know how you get so long sot other poster are you on wifi with good cell reception all day.
. I get around 5-6 hours
Been away for some time son no time to reply. im going to factory rest on the weekend and only install the basic social media so i can get more SOT than im getting now. If this works ill install apps one by one and see if one is draining the battery. Otherwise i will concider a battery replacement.
anyone know a better way of tracking the apps that drain battery?
I've P20 for a month now pretty happy with it I observed that the battery life increased considerably within two weeks of utilization. Usually i'm getting 3h to 4h of SOT with around 12 hours of standby at the end of a normal day and still 30% percent of battery left. Lets share your experience with your P20 or tips that will helps us to extend the battery life
I've heard that the AI is supposed to better optimize the battery use the more and longer you use the phone.
I recently switched all apps to being automatically managed by the system. Only some are tweaked by me so they won't auto launch and so on. Will do a couple of days like this and see if the battery life gets affected.
Either way I'm getting good battery life and I'm really pleased.

I am coming from using a Huawei Mate 9 that was stuck on Android 8 in US on Tmobile. I wound up buy One Plus 7 (GM1900) on Amazon that runs well on Tmobile but I have been less then thrilled with the battery life. I had 3900 mamp after 2.5 years of heavy use was able to get to the end of the day with 20-30 percent with 12-14 hours of screen time with the battery saver.
I am using fewer apps with One Plus 7 on Oxygen OS 9.5.8 and with battery saver, I seem to get 5-6 hours of screen time.
I think one of the differences is I can't seem to change the screen resolution and for the location services to use 4G over the GPS.
Is there anything I can do to get better screen time that will come close to my mate 9?
If not, I am going to send this back for a note 9.
