What provider are you with (if any)?
I can appreciate a long-lasting battery better than most. In November I got jumped, beat up, and stabbed in the gut. Spent the night in the hospital, and only the huge 3300mAh battery in my Droid Razr Maxx kept me in touch with my family and friends that could help me. My current phone doesn't have a big battery, but I carry a spare.
so any of the top phone you can recommend?
Hey guys, I just wanted to check if my battery life is abnormal or not. During normal usage, it's a bit hard for me to compare because I'm tending to use this phone a lot more than my previous one (Xperia Z1 Compact) but overnight, it would tend to lose at least 7-8%. Last night, I decided to try disabling auto-sync, put it on Power Saving and see what would happen (as well as closed all my apps through the regular task manager) and it dropped a whopping from 45% to 31%! Don't know how that happened.
When I go into the Power menu, I can see that Android System used 13%, Android OS and Screen used 10% each, Google Play Services used 9% and a few other apps and services used 4% or less. I got my Note Edge in Australia and is currently using it in the U.K but it's an international variant (SM-N915G) and is compatible with my current carrier (O2). I'm running stock 5.0.1 rooted. Do you guys think it's normal?
Another question regarding the battery: I have never owned a smartphone before that allowed me to switch batteries so I was wondering, would something like this or this be trustworthy? They seem really cheap and the capacity is 4200mAh whereas the stock battery is only 3000mAh. From your experience buying replaceable batteries, is it safe to use something like this (not to mention, they says they're compatible with the N9150 but didn't mention the N915G)? Thanks a lot in advance!
A lot of folks have had similar issues with lollipop. Backup all your data and do and full reset. Seems to sort out the battery drain issues
Good luck

Thanks a lot. Just a quick noobie question, should I just backup with Titanium and then do a reset from inside the OS or should I do it through CWM (I already have a recent enough nand backup). Cheers!
I have had horrid battery life since lollipop upgrade. I want to go back to kit kat so bad. Primarily because of the battery and because notifications appear as overlays in some apps now instead of on the edge. The phone also is less responsive. I kick myself every day for upgrading.
Side note, are the batteries listed above supposed to actually fit inside the phone with no physical distortion?

I haven't had any major issues since upgrading to Lollipop, I was just hoping to squeeze a bit more out of the battery life. As for responsiveness, I'd say it's about the same, if not slightly better. You sound like you might also do with a factory reset. I just want to know if the factory reset option in the settings would do the job or if I should do it from the recovery.
As for the above batteries, I would imagine that they should fit perfectly since they were designed for the Note Edge but since I have had no experience with replaceable batteries, I would like to hear some confirmation.
I have mine on power saving mode and screen brightness on 43%. I get two full days usage so I only charge it once every two days.

In those 2 days, could you take a look and let me know how long your screen was on for?
I had a battery from the same manufacturer as your first link for a s2, it was apparently bigger in capacity, but drained faster than the stock battery and swelled after two weeks to the point that the rear cover wouldnt close fully.
Id steer clear if i was you.

Yeah, that was my concern. The only time I had a higher capacity battery fit snugly into a phone and work as intended was when I had my htc sensation. Anker made a higher mA battery that really worked. Everything now seems to be a sham. I will avoid it.
You can't fit more capacity of battery in the same size more than it's done by Samsung, otherwise they would do it. These are just fake numbers, I'm sure they're even less than the 3,000 made by Samsung.
As for the resetting your phone, settings option pretty much does the job.
I've asked this question before but I'm having a hard time choosing between Honor 8, Honor 9 and iphone SE (yeah I know ) so please help me out. Many reports of bad battery life on Nougat so I'm worried before making the jump.
How is your battery life with latest update on Nougat? I mean without rooting, greenify or other tweaks. How's standby time with wifi on and background data always on?
Thanks a lot!
I would not go for the iPhone. The iPhone has an awful display and is not too fast. The Honors are both pretty good. Honor 9 is better than Honor 8, but Honor 8 is still pretty amazing. I haven't had any battery issues myself, so idk what is all this fuss about.
OnePlus 5T. Everything is better, except SD card support and IR.

Honor phones are realy good, I have before both Honor 8 and 9. Im selling both and buy P10 plus. Because, I want better camera. Honor 8 is amazing device and receive Oreo but we ned wait. Honor 9 have already Oreo. Camera quality is same H8 and H9. H9 have just 20Mpx (I dont see any different betwen H8 and H9 quality. I was realy sad for this. In 5. december will launch new Honor phone I think will be Honor 9 pro.
So Honor 8 (except procesor) is same like 9 but maybe cheaper. I suggest u buy Honor 8 or Honor 8 pro or wait for Honor 9 pro. I dont recommend to buy Honor 9, from my experience I cant
edit: battery life on Nougat is depend which model u want buy EU and US model have good battery

What's the difference in battery? Don't all models have the same battery?

thanks but OP5T is more expensive where I'm living right now so can't afford it
See I am honor 8 owner,using it since past 5 months,it's awesome.1st it looks stunning it's an eye catcher fully glass made,especially the blue one.Its prone to break so buy a cover.2ndly about perfomance it has never lagged for me,am a power user.3rd camera its the best camera out there,competition for iphone 8.and about the battery backup it lasts 12 hours for me on single charge always connected to WiFi and power using.and what you can do with this I bet you can't do with iphone.iphone is just a name and this is future

Bro its having everything with this much power and slim looks you can't expect 24 hours battery life.honor 6x has better battery backup but looks cheap and asphalt airborne will lag,in this it'll not

Sorry but 12 hours is still too low, unless you are eating up the battery playing games and using GPS all the time. Powerful processors should also be power-efficient. I don't think the processor in Honor 8 is inefficient because by all accounts battery life was fine on Marshmallow, so either Huawei messed something up in Nougat or the quality of the batteries in some units is so bad that they degrade a lot within the one-year mark, which coincides with the time of the Nougat update. Looks are irrelevant to a discussion of battery life.

Well maybe not that bad then, if you are a heavy user. Anyway if you are happy with your device congratulations. Oh and Samsung is crap. HTC sadly is rapidly spiralling down to nonexistence.
so i bought the oneplus 7 pro and now im concerned about the battery aging of previous oneplus devices.
anyone who is using oneplus devices for long time can you guys tell me how does oneplus batteries perform overtime and further more dash or warp charge's effect the overall battery capicity>?
THANKS to anyone who answers this
My 3T is still going strong after almost 2.5 years. Only reason I upgraded to the 7 Pro is a broken screen on the 3T. I almost always used the stock Dash charger with the 3T, and haven't noticed any significant decline in battery life.
Now, I think these manufaccturers will often switch battery suppliers, or use multiple suppliers. So my single data point may or may not be a predictor of how the battery on the 7 Pro will do.

I am still using my OP 3 will complete 3yrs this coming August. Battery is still going strong for daily usage (except gaming). I have always used the provided dash charger.

And what about your usage i mean are you a heavy user or a normal user

I would definitely say a normal/light user. No gaming (which is what folks often mean by "heavy" user). Just web browsing, email, video streaming, voice calls, etc.
On the other hand, I also leave my phone on the charger overnight all the time. Which supposedly is bad for long term battery health (leaving the phone on charger, after it is fully charged). But yet, all the batteries on my phone's I've ever had seem to have had decent battery longevity.
OP3, OP5, OP6, OP6T, and OP7 Pro all have had adequate battery life (OP7P so far)
The standby drain is very minimal. There's no need to leave your phone plugged in all night. Put it on the charger when u jump in the shower and it should be good to go when u leave.
Hello from France.
When I bought this Mi Note 10 Pro from my girlfriend, the battery lasted for more than 2 days (I don't remember which version of Android and MIUI were installed at that time).
Over time, the battery life decreased, which is normal, until recently when it was less than a day.
So I changed the battery, first with a cheap Chinese one: battery life was less than a day, then with an original one: battery life is almost a day. The problem is that "AccuBattery" gave me an estimated capacity of just over 3000 mAh for both batteries (properly calibrated).
Thinking that the battery was defective, the shop (the most reliable one in France for spare parts) sent me a second original battery... but AccuBattery also estimates it at just over 3000mAh!!!
So who's the culprit???
Are all the batteries defective? (unlikely!)
Does AccuBattery provide false estimates?
Does Android 11 + MIUI 13 prevent AccuBattery from making accurate estimates?
Are the batteries okay and is it Android + MIUI that's draining the power?"
If it's the latter explanation, do you think it's more Android 11 or MIUI 13, (or both ) that's draining the battery? And in that case, which MIUI.eu ROM can I install to hope to regain good battery life? Is it possible to reinstall Android 9 or 10?
I should mention that I have already removed all bloatware and unnecessary services with ADB after returning to factory settings, and the battery still loses about 20% per night...
Anyway, thank you guys for this great forum that I just discovered. "
