Is the battery really that good?

Hi Guys, I'm considering buying the htc u11 plus, I'm in doubt with the pixel 2 xl and lg v30 (but only by battery) that is to say that the best battery will be my next phone, I am very excited about the battery of the u11 plus for its quantity of milliamperes. But you who use it every day could you tell me how good it is? How many hours of average screen do they have?

One of the best battery life a phone could have. I can go easily 2 days without charging with minimal use.. 1 day + normal use.

It depends on your usage. I get around 3 days and 5-6 hours of SOT with *my* usage patterns. I am a light gamer, but heavy chat on whatsapp, do lot of emails, corporate messaging, videos and monitoring apps etc.
My overall take on the battery life on U11+ for my use case is "Awesome!". Your mileage may vary...

I also think battery life is great, my usage is similar to devsk and can easily get 3 days with WiFi on all day. I could even stretch to 4 on very light usage.

I was expecting more, but still the best battery I have had. 5-6 hours of SOT and I think I'm pretty good at saving battery (no gps, mostly wifi not 4g, low brightness etc...)
I suspect the google xl 2 is similar or slightly better at battery purely down to software optimization. Hopefully HTC can improve over time with software updates

Mine started out horrible and I was very angry about it. I was barely hitting 5 hours SOT over 24 hours with medium brightness. Factory reset, let the phone settle for a week and now I can do 7 hours SOT over 1 day + 100% auto brightness. Can't complain now.

I'm very happy. Over the past week my average is 7h SoT over 48h - this is 50% auto brightness on WiFi and 4g roughly 50/50. This is my normal usage, few calls, lots of WhatsApp, reading emails, viewing IP cams, watching videos etc. No active display, don't think it's useful on LCD.
With a day at home on WiFi I maxed around 8h SoT over a day watching YouTube/Plex which I was disappointed by (thought it could reach 9h), but don't think I could use a phone more than this.. It's not realistic usage.
With light usage I got 3 days standby and around 5h SoT. I'm sure with some optimisation the battery life could be extended further. Should also mention I have the full Google location shebang going.

I've been getting consistently 7h+ sot in a day and a half.
Medium usage, mainly YouTube, Twitch, browsing and texting. Some light gaming, light camera usage, on wifi 90% of the time. 50% auto brightness.
So yeah, in the battery department this is the best phone I've had.

7h 15 min SOT, 23h since last charge, 24%, lte and location services always on, auto brightness; ffox 1h40, camera 16m, yt36m and Messenger which drained battery of my previous phone af (about 15-20% in background) 2% on u11+

There is a battery life thread on one of the forums, might be worth checking that out
I've had 9hrs+ SOT, over two days
It's about as good a battery life as you can expect IMO
I'm really happy, and it was one of the main factors I considered when getting this phone

I must be an extra heavy user because I can't seem to get an entire day from my U11+.
I do have everything synced though plus wifi, bluetooth and nfc on all the time. I use it for internet, youtube, netflix , some gaming and messaging so I suppose it gets pretty well-hammered throughout the day Apart from that it's a fantastic phone.

Yeah, that's pretty heavy usage
On the best days, no NFC or Bluetooth for me, WiFi on
No gaming, butt loads of messaging and calls
Also, I have it on battery saver if I know I'm not going to use it for over an hour, and always battery saver overnight

I'll try switching off NFC because I hardly use it, see if that makes a difference.
Also, it seems obvious but I haven't tried using the battery saver overnight. Makes sense!
Thank you

Depends more so of what you're doing. How long have you had the phone for? I didn't get great battery life until things settled down during the first week. Leaving bluetooth and NFC on shouldn't be the main cause of battery draining but I would say make sure background bluetooth and wifi location scanning is off because that WILL drain a lot more. It is in the location settings menu

This is just my first week with it. I've changed the Bluetooth and WiFi location settings now so thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Changing those location settings has made a big difference - I've gone the whole day and I'm only at 50%. That's excellent. Many thanks for the heads up ?

Getting bad battery life on my 3 week old OnePlus 6 ...

Greetings xdadevelopers,
I own my OnePlus 6 for about 3 weeks now,and I feel like I'm getting bad battery life. I got a friend who has the exact same model (Silk White, 128 GB) and he gets far better SOT (battery life). I will attach two screenshots showing my battery life down to 75%.
So far I had a SOT of 1 hour and lost ~25% battery which would result in a total of just 4 hours of SOT. I hear a lot of people talking about their great battery life with their OnePlus 6 and some even saying that they get 5 hours of SOT at minimum even with heavy use.
Here's what I tried doing so far...
- Deactivate stuff when not needed, e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc.
- Clear cache partition in storage settings
- Clear cache partition in recovery mode
- Use dark theme and dark wallpaper
I am currently running OxygenOS 5.1.11 and I really hope that I don't need to return my OnePlus 6 anytime soon because I don't have a spare phone to use. Anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

A factory reset will most likely fix this issue.

You're aware that when people post crazy SOT, ie 5-6 hours, they're getting it while using WiFi? If you are using 4g/lte, the battery life will not be as good.

if you dont get the same SoT then its a user related so unless you have the same apps installed and the same settings etc then its impossbile to get the same amount of SoT.
Also when you check your phone every minute then it will drain like crazy then when you just turn it on and use it for a half hour straight. Also things like face unlock etc can use that battery and also disable the sync options.

You have a weak cell signal. That is the most likely culprit.

I never use WiFi, I'm on T-Mobile and have unlimited data and have never been throttled so no point in using WiFi and I get 9-11 hours of SOT and average about .7% idle drain and 2% overnight (7 hours). So you can get very good SOT and idle drain if you don't use crappy apps and don't have EVERYTHING turned on and maxed out all the time.
I can do 2 hours of YouTube, hour or 2 of calls, 30+ emails whatsapp and text all day and still go home with 60% battery life or better. Also about an hour maybe 2 of web surfing as well.

Try using greenify to kill any apps running in the background. But yeah, a crappy cell signal will drain battery pretty bad. Connect to WiFi when applicable.

9-11 hours of screen on time? I'm going to have to call BS on that.

I get most off the time 7-8 hours with wifi. And 4-5Hours with mobile data. Thats a huge difference

It's not BS

You can call it BS all you want but I've posted screen shots a couple months ago and I will have 3 or 4 hours of SOT using it for work all day for various things plus YouTube and web surfing and go home with 60-70% battery. The screenshot below if from last night actually after 24hours off charge. I usually get about 30 emails a day (work hours) 50+ texts and whatsapp with voice and pics, web surfing YouTube, Connected Gear S3 smartwatch, and about an hour or so of phone calls.

I personally don't take a charger with me to work. Plus with Accubattery every time you plug it ion it resets the stats unlike the built in battery monitor in the phones settings.
Some people are just bitter about people knowing how to set up phone for good battery. Or they just use some flaky apps that go rogue on them. There is no reason to lie about what you get battery stats. People ask about battery and people show how their phones are good or bad. Unless you have the same apps and same set up and use the phone the same, you'll never get the same battery performance.

@thefallen924 might aswell tag you on this one. No bs, just knowledge.
Mostly on wifi thus far, i should have about the same with 4g tho from what I noticed, I live near city center and have the antenna about 50 meters from my house, at work I have really ****ty connection so there it will drop massively, about 15% Drop in 9 hours with 30-40 minutes screen. If I use it in background it will obviously use more (like spotify/podcast)

Nice. I'm getting around 7hours but it seems I use my phone alot heavier than you. The app you use the most is a web browser. I play abit of pubg which drains the battery alot while in game.

With 40min bubg with highest setting

Not bitter, just very skeptical. Anyone i've seen stating they get 9-11 hours of screen on time never posts a chart screenshot. I can usually get 5-7 on wifi. if you can get 9-11 then more power to you, but to say that its normal, is unrealistic. even if you go to the screen on time thread in the review section of the oneplus6 forum here on xda, you'll notice that an overwhelming majority of users are getting anywhere from 5-7.

Never once did I say it was normal. I'm just saying that you can get really good battery life. No one will ever get the same usage as another based on apps installed, how they have their phone sync and what they have running (WiFi, Bluetooth on or off, poor cell signal and location on high accuracy or battery saving) it all depends but I don't cripple my phone. I just turn off location permissions in all apps but Browser, Google, Maps, Weather and turn off Background data for apps that have no need to do that and leave my email and messaging apps, among a few others, alone. But to tell me BS (basically calling me a liar) when I can get that with pretty heavy use and my phone isn't crippled isn't cool.
And those people getting 5-7 hours of SOT are likely leaving their WiFi and Bluetooth on all the time no matter if they are connected or now, have everything syncing all the time and have Location on High Accuracy. Now granted I just bought a Gear S3 Frontier a week ago and I'm seeing about 5-10% more drain then before I bought the watch which is expected.

Why is my idle battery drain so bad if all my wakelocks look fine? (Pie stable)

Getting fine screen on time, but bad standby time. I left my phone idle for more than 10 hours, and everything looks fine...but I'm draining more than 2% per hour doing nothing! When I use the phone normally, idle drain is closer to 3%, with still not specific problem that can be seen. On Oreo stable, it was around 1.5%, which is still bad compared to my iPhone, but not unbearable. I had no SIM installed because it was in my iPhone, but with or without makes no noticeable difference.
Advanced optimization, sleep standby optimization AND adaptive battery also make no noticeable difference in ANY combination on and off.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edit: You might also notice the VPN icon, it's not a normal VPN (with active, keep-alive connection), but a proxy for those of us living in China. Again, I've tested on or off, no difference, and you can't see it in wakelocks or processes.

I need those pictures after let's say 6 hours of standby. I need to see standby usage only. So make a custom mark when you go to bed and then take the SS

I don't understand. This is 11 hours of stats idle, on my table at home, with no one touching it. This is no different from ide overnight on my bedside table except total time. I have gathered overnight stats many times with exactly the same results as what's shown here trying to figure out what's wrong.

Could also be a bad WIFI, seen this before for some 5ghz networks.
Is bbs being optimized in battery settings?
try 2.4ghz wifi if you can (where you have good connection, OR just turn wifi off, so we can rule that out the equation.)
make sure better battery stats is NOT being optimized
and try one more time.

Thanks for those suggestions. I hadn't tried switching to 2.4ghz or un-optimizing better battery stats. Unfortunately, there is no noticeable difference yet again. Turning Wifi off totally used to help a bit in Oreo, but hasn't made any difference at all in Pie.

Having the same issue too. Idle drain is fairly high on pie. Wakelocks are pretty clean too. I'm convinced it's something Google related or it's just the system isn't all that optimized as they want us to believe

Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a little better. Most people on the internet complaining about Pie drain of course has no idea how to actually check anything beyond Android stock battery stats, so there's no way to corroborate.
I noticed that beta 4 has " * Optimized standby power consumption " listed as a system fix. But I don't want to clean flash in and then clean flash out of beta yet again because all of them have had such horrible touch latency that dozens of users are complaining about. But I'm almost tempted to try it.
Can anyone on beta 4 chime in?

Thanks for the feedback! But 0.3% / hour? I'm skeptical. I'm not sure that any Android phone has ever been that low draining, ever. Certainly not in my years of experience. I don't think that's possible even with no apps installed. You can't post any wakelock details because you're not rooted... Maybe post a screenshot of your battery usage graph, please?

Thanks. I feel like I'm being really lucky with this device tho.
I will get my root on today, clean flash again and I will just set it up and see where it lands. But I thought no what saves my battery the most is really good reception. The antenna is around 100meters (300 feet) from my house, WiFi is on point aswell (best on 2.4ghz)

So, like I said the bootloader got unlocked, root is on again so everything is fresh.
The smart battery didn't even have time to read apps that's draining battery this is standby usage with stock settings from OnePlus,without any optimizations. Im counting on adaptive battery that it will do its thing after a day or two.
I have around 20 apps installed but the ones that matter for battery is Telegram, instagram, steam.

Question Battery draining too fast.

I had this phone for about a week now. Got used to all the features. Did all the things needed to calm the draining issue. But no budge. I've drained from 85% protection battery on to 65% upon waking up. So much faster drain from my old s20 ultra. I'm sure there will be an update. The more we talk. We all should comment on Instagram comment section.

And do you think that doing a hard reset and setting it up as new can improve the battery?

I lost 5 or 6% overnight, and after last week's update that's been reduced to 3%
I have poor reception at work and even there I have way less drain now, so I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like some app(s) that are draining too much battery imo.

Would probably help if y'all uploaded screenshots of your battery graph. i'm getting 9.5 hours SOT at FHD resolution with Power set to Optimized. I also use the Samsung Browser and not the Battery Hog Google Chrome Browser.

You should check which apps comsume battery too much, then decide what to do next.

When i first started i weren't happy at all with the battery drain. It barely used to last with 5hrs or so of screen on time! (Light usage too)
After the first 4 days it got better. I used an app called Alliance Shield X, which i believe helped me a lot. Now I'm happy with my battery drain.
Edit: Also the Galaxy Max Hz App.

Alliance Shield X helps to disable packages, create firewall, adblock, etc...
Galaxy Max Hz allows you to adjust screen refresh rates (highs and lows), and a few other settings like lowest hz on screen off/Aod refresh rate
Instander is just some 3rd party Instagram with additional features, lol. I don't use it a lot so i can't say for certain, but looking at the stats, it seems to be a decent drain

Battery Drain Question

HI guys.. Before I buy the note 20 ultra I want to make sure battery drain isn't crazy. If you would please turn off bluetooth, wifi and data and only leave mobile phone on, how much battery would you drain in 12 hours? Would appreciate this feedback.

Consider a new N10+ N975U1 running on Android 10 for $800, or half that price used.
Overall a better, more dependable flapship; better form factor and display (less variable refresh rate).
Android 11 is problematic and 12 is fubar.
The N10+ running on 9 or 10 is a very functional, long lived and fun to use device. Snappy fast with 10hr SOT when optimized.

What the hell are you talking about?? Youre in the wrong forum. This is about the N20U not the N10+.

Smh.. dont do drugs guys

My SD variant NOTE20U has been doing pretty well. Even with instant messaging apps always running in the background, and BT earphones connected and data enabled, only ~2% of battery was consumed sleeping overnight. If those were turned off, maybe 1%?
I installed an app that can monitor real-time power draw. With some debloat and optimization, the screen on standby power draw is around 80mA of current, with some spikes to ~150mA, which is very good.

Appreciate the link.
With all those optimizations, hows your SOT?

Not bad, 5G enabled, 120Hz RR, AOD off, enhanced processing speed enabled, instant messaging apps always running, and it gives me around 22hrs of total use time, ~7 hrs of SOT, ~14 hours of standby. Mainly watching videos, shopping apps, playing a few 3D games, and browsing social media.

What's the monitoring app you're using?

Hi...
With everything which You stated "ON" ( Bluetooth connected to the watch, WiFi connected, location "ON", 5G "ON" ) its draining through the night 9-10 hr about 3 % from the battery...
Hopefully that answer will help a little bit...

Kinda confused by your statement. The user terpi74 above you said he experiences only 3% of drain per nite.

I charge phone after work, when is about 90% disconnect from charger and is ON all the time. And, like i say previously, I have no issue with excessive battery drain

My bad, I forgot they don't use the name Scene on their GitHub page. The latest release is 4.7.3. After the installation, look for a little plug icon in the Scene app, located in the bottom left corner. And that "-XXXmA" is your current draw.
