When talking of battery life, people report different stats with no standardization. This makes comparison difficult.
Most people would charge their device before it reaches 10%, and that is also a good practice. It is a bad idea to let the battery go below 10%.
I'll keep 15% as the target battery level.
At 15%, how much screen-on-time (SOT) do you get and what is the standby time?
Please include your device details along with the software version (including security patch).
Here's mine:
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
At 15%:
About 5 hours SOT (using only one sim)
About 12 hours standby time
Total about 17 hours since last charge
Software version: OneUI 5.1 (Feb'23 security patch)

I know I know, that the battery for this device isn't the best. What I've noticed that the battery in my device seems to be draining a little faster. I have had the phone since it was released, I have not changed ROM from what is listed in my sig. and now I'm getting about 12 hrs of life, while I was getting about 24 hrs.
Usage has not changed.
Is it possible that the battery is not maintaining its charge?, although it charges to 4206mv according to the battery calibrator app, and has charged to that level for months and months.
Any thoughts?
Let's get this discussion rolling. Post your battery usage, SOT and device model (SD/EX, carrier/unlocked) here! Reviews have mostly said the S8 battery is about equal to the S7, maybe a bit better or worse depending on who you believe, so I'm eager to get a general idea of how endurance will be when my S8 arrives May 5th.
I'm impressed so far. Yesterday, charged to 95% and over 9 hours of mixed use, with about 2.5 hours of SOT, I was sitting at 48%. What is great is I had AOD on *and* the resolution at max with no power saving features. I wanted to see how it was going to perform at top performance and then work my way down. Right now, been off the charger for 75 minutes, 26 minutes of SOT and have 93%. That extrapolates to 6 hours SOT. It will be more like 5 used throughout the day obviously but this is pretty good.
Regular s8 full screen brightness, bluetooth and location on...took off charger at 6AM at 100%, 4.5 hours later it's at 76%. Connected to my car through bluetooth playing music through my hour long commute and using the internet. Not amazing but much, much better than my s6...for now. I plan on getting a battery case eventually when they're available which is partially why I opted for the regular s8 - those battery cases can be pretty big.
Early signs look promising, so far. Hope the thing Samsung said about these batteries aging much more gracefully is true, and that the S8s will maintain their battery over the course of their lifetime.
I'm at 6 hours 13 minutes of SOT mostly youtube and have 25% battery left. AOD, Bluetooth for watch, wifi, and phone at fhd+. 10 hours 53 mins on battery with 36% screen usage. I bet this phone can do 7+ hours of pure youtube, watch some youtube test showing around 17% usage per hour youtube.
Ugh. This bites
Wondering how is your battery life, I'm 5:30 hours for 54% of battery(75% - 21%)
I max charge it to 75% and usually I don't drain it less than 25% - To achieve the best battery life long term, so I won't need replacement anytime soon. Also I don't fast charge, usually 1A charging or similar(e.g. Wireless charging 7.5W)
Obviously I use underclocking to the point I don't fee any difference in daily usage
Share your thoughts, for 0-100% I bet I can do more than 7:30 SOT

Lol mate you're more like 5:30 min after 75-25 twice.
Such a bad battery life usually happens after using mokee as they change low lever instructions in the processor.
What happens is that the processor microcode is changed such that instead of power being managed by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it’s actually now managed by the modial interaction of adreno-reluctance and capacitive directance of the cores. You can not change that any more as it was a change on hardware level microconductions that can not be reverted.

50%(75-25% usage) of battery gives me 5:30 SOT hours and it's bad?
You troll right? this is only achieved with underclocking, at 100% you should expect more than 7:30 and maybe 8 hours! what about you?
P.S. Give me your SOT 75-25% and if it's more than 5:30 SOT I'll send you my phone for free - Bet you can't even do 6 hours SOT with full battery
just look at the screenshot you provided yourself, the battery graph clearly shows you charged your phone after you hit 25% the first time to 75% and let it run down to 21% again. battery (and sot) stats won't reset until you charge over 90%, so your reading of 5.5 hours of sot is actually 2 instances of your habitual 75-25% drain. in reality you are only getting about half that for 50% use (~2h 45min sot), which I'd say isn't too bad, but maybe you should do a full 100% to 0% use once and see how the battery fares for a more accurate reading. honestly I would say you would still get around 5.5-6 hours sot from that, and that unless you do some serious tweaking to both your phone and usage patterns you wouldn't be able to hit 7 hours sot, but I would be willing to see evidence that proves me otherwise.

Battery Charge Limit - Resets your stats but also limits the charging
I know you are clueless but talking without knowing is bad - 5.5 is for 50% battery due to high underclocking I've got
With 100% I can get over 8-10 hours - High end CPU cores are not more than 1.5Ghz, gpu at power saving but also lowest possible freq for min/max - You are talking crap but ok I won't feed you, I stop feeding trolls the moment I get they troll
sorry but you are the one talking crap, please see attached picture, which is a crop of your battery graph. i personally also use the battery charge limit app, and i know how the reset battery stats option in the app works, which will clear the battery graph as well. if you really did clear battery stats you wouldn't be able to see this upward curve.
how about this, you fully charge your phone and use it normally until you hit your claimed 8-10h sot. honestly i think i can match your sot, but without this underclocking you highly praise.
You're either braindamaged or a troll. You charged your phone and it didn't reset stats so it combined both usages. Did you pass 6th grade maths? Anyways SoT is subjective and you're just being extra petty about this
10 hours SOT

Only 10?
By doing a small mod on the battery, I get like 12 hours minimum, with 50% brightness fixed. What I did is that I replaced the main-winding of the normal Lotus-O-Deltoid type and placed it in the pan-indermic semi-boloid slots of the battery.

Removed lots of bloatware using adbFastboot tool and connected mostly on wifi. Without wifi with medium usage, I can get around 6 hours SOT within 2 days of use.
aex + canting.
I've had mine for 18 months and am still very pleased on the charge. I can typically get 12 - 14 hours fine, and that does me for most uses. I've seen it go longer when I've used it less (for example right now 20 hours without charge - 6% left, although that would include about 7 hours of sleep so no use in that time).
No modifications on my part.
Hello,
I've purchased a huawei p30 few days ago, and I noticed that the battery drains pretty fast comparing to a thread I've read here about Huawei P30 Pro battery drain (link).
It takes 1% of battery for about 4-6 minutes of use.
In addition, it consumes 10% overnight (10 hours), with only cellular and data connection, no wifi, no gps, no nfc.
Tested it with flight mode, and it takes 7% overnight (10 hours), which I think is way too much (should be like 1% right?).
I have version 9.1.0.193 (europe version), with the ability to upgrade to 240.
What can possibly cause that? I only have it for few days, with 3 apps installed: Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram.
I wondered, how is your battery consume? that would be nice if you can share your stats.
thanks
Edit:
Tested the phone in safe mode, 10% over 10 hours standby, I got a defect for sure =\
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage and you can see for yourself.

Thanks for your response.
I did viewed the battery usage, however there is nothing that consuming too much battery, looks normal.
The drain got better overtime, now I get 3% overnight (10 hours) on flight mode without AOD and 5% with cellular, which is ok.
However, on standby time over the daylight, the battery drains 1% every 30 minutes, I think that is very bad. not sure why the standby time is so bad.
I get SOT of 6~ minutes every 1% (which is great for me).
So I'm not sure what could be causing that. I've watched a video by linus on youtube about galaxy s9+ on battery drain, and it seems that the mobo have a leak, which made it drain.
Is it possible that huawei also suffer from mobo leaks?
Hello dear XDA members,
I bought Poco X3 NFC two days ago ( The Global version ) and I noticed that the battery performance is very poor.
At first I was using the screen @ 120 Hz frame rate and I was able to get 7 hours SOT normal usage, and 6 hours SOT while playing PUBG.
Then I changed the screen frame rate to 60 Hz but the situation didn't change... And I got 5 hours SOT only !
I would like to know if you are getting the same SOT?
Is it a general problem?
I'm on MIUI 12.0.4.0
I didn't get the chance to test the previous firmwares to compare screen SOT.
thanks in advance.
WOW, I have it set to 90 Hz and when I do not play, I get 11h SOT and over 40h on the battery.
Look
Same here. The sot. Is not good.
It will get better after one week or something

Lucky you, I have been doing some research and I found that other people have battery drain issues too, and other people have wonderful SOT
Yeah people either say it's insanely good or just plain garbo. I for example can't even tell lol. The built-in battery monitor doesn't seem to work properly. It spits out some nonsensical numbers and doesn't show all the apps I'm using. For example it shows 1,5h active for the display after 20+ hours of usage were I've watched multiple YouTube videos during this time (some of them longer than 20 minutes). And YouTube app doesn't even show up in the summary. Same goes for Opera browser which I use quite a lot. Didn't realise at first though, as I charge my device every other day or so and don't game much on it really (it significantly shortens the non removable battery life span). AccuBattery only shows estimates (free version). Don't know how they get an accurate/believable measurement with like 30h+ standby.

I heard of this issue too, and I started to use accubattery today to keep track of the battery usage
You need to calibrate your battery
Calibrate Battery:
Do two full charge / discharge cycles (from 100% to% 0, charge off to 100%) and finally a full charge (or half charge / discharge cycle, which is the same)
With that it would already be recalibrated.
Half cycle equals one full charge or one full discharge.
One cycle equals one full charge + one full discharge.
These are the so-called battery life cycles
Or charge / discharge cycles
Both terms refer to the same thing.
What kills lithium batteries are these cycles, it is like a flash memory, it has limited write cycles. Lithium batteries, the same, but both discharges and charges count.
That is why they recommend doing small charges and keeping the battery between 20% and 80%. Older people recommend carrying out a charge / discharge cycle every 15-20 days, to ensure the correct calibration of the battery.

So maybe it is the adaptive battery feature which takes some time to work correctly, I think I am getting a slight improvement.. still testing though
Battery Improved a lot since I wrote this thread, I think adaptive battery feature started to work.
My SOT is even worse than yours.
I am using poco x3 indian varient with 6000 mah battery
What did you do to increase SOT ?
