What do you think???
With not so good cell reception (as he said) and so many wake-locks, I think it's pretty good!

Now lets see how the battery handles while playing Ingress!
I would be very happy with this if it is typical usage!
If I can actually get anywhere near this I will be very Happy.
Not as good as I was hoping, but still reasonable. That's right around what I've been averaging with my Moto X.
Not good at all.
The wake locks are horrible!

I think that is looking decent, with 13% of the battery used being on 'Cell standby' it is clear that reception was not good during the day. On my nexus 5 when cell reception is good Cell standby barely registers on the list. Max of 5% usually. So would we be looking at 6.5 hours screen time if reception is good? Also no indication that battery saving has been used or not (doesn't look like it is, on the screenshots as the notification/nav bar are not orange). Or what screen brightness set.
Who knows. It is all guessing until more reviews are out.

Yes, same with me. On my Nexus 5 with quite good reception the "mobile standby" is less than 5%.
With that in mind, we will have more than this.
And see those wake-locks, horrible.
Probably some apps, services, or accounts need to be properly setup and configured.
More battery life from that.
And for more extreme, we can use darker theme
So, I am OK with this early report, it's a GOOD BASE!

It's a great start. I'm sure we'll have them up to 10 hours SOT with tweaks in no time.
That is mush better then my Note 3... hope I can get this divce sone..

I'm seeing similar wakelocks on my nexus 5 with the last preview. The one before it had much better battery life, at least for me. I think kitkit has better battery life than lpx19D. so much for improved battery savings in 5.0.

Yeah me too. My N5 was charged fully yesterday morning and it just sat at my house untouched all day, and by the time I went to bed it was at 75%, which is pathetic. That's the last dev preview. On KK, it still would have been at 100%, or at worst 99%. I didn't investigate what was causing it, but that was bone stock without a single app installed. It shouldn't be like that. Hopefully the final version won't have that issue.

I agree but some people take these findings to heart and if the battery doesn't live up to their expectations they have an aneurysm.

This is from a normal usage of my phone. As you can see from the graph the last few hours were me connected to wi-fi constantly, tweeting, fiddling and browsing forums. Yes a quick drain but this is a phone!
My point of this post is compare this to tablets and netbooks. The majority last 6 hours, tops. The SGS II is a dual core, amoled phone. It was always going to be a beast on the battery. However if you use it wisely, ie only have Wi-Fi on when necessary, the phone lasts as this phone should.
It out performs most tablets and for the relative size of both screen and battery I would say that's hugely impressive.
Looking forward to your comments.

Your post is refreshing because of the following:
1) Clearly shows the display is the biggest drainer of battery. Anything else means you simply didn't setup your phone right or have some rogue app chewing stuff up.
2) You're not going bonkers with "OMFG my phone only lost 0% over 4 hours" and then post a graph that shows the screen was on for 2 seconds. Uh, well... duh! Completely stupid and pointless, glad your graph actually reflects real usage and battery drain.

now im gonna say this,
you people really shouldnt compare battery time like tht. Its the screen on time you should compare!! its far more accurate than this. i can get around 3h of constat use and connected to wifi. this is screen on time.
what's average screen time in hours for most users? i've been reading about 4 hours plus or minus 1. 8 hours is unreasonable on one charge? i like to read books so i am wondering about this. i highly anticipate this phone but the n9 kind of looks hot too if the rumor is true alien dalvik allows android apps on meego.
So what? You kinda never used your phone. Surf the internet connected via 3g and come back to tell me
So you use your phone less than my grandma and hardly get two days out of the battery?
Great, that's nothing to be proud of.
With this usage my Omnia7 lasted for a week but the SGSII drains harder than my kitchen sink.
I noticed light consumes unusually lot of power too .. I recommend not using it as torch. White screen works just as fine for me (in total darkness). It seems they put in even stronger LED then in previous models .. and it better be used just for the moment as photographic flash. Battery voltage drops significantly .. and it slowly returns after the LED is turned off .. which means it's really strained a lot.
I bet i can get 2 days of battery in the way you used your phone. Screen was rarely on, so you just showed us that you can get a day and a half of stand-by.
At the risk of being accused of grandma phone usage im actually fairly happy.. The wifi sharing thing is a ***** so axed that.
This is with stock but rooted ke7

I'm getting pretty good battery life aswell with stock kf2. The only thing I did is deleting some of he crappy samsung apps and froze wifi sharing. I get about 2 days of battery with normal use. And yes i do use the phone in these 2 days.

Just wondering if anyone has tried running their One M8 in High Performance Mode 24/7. I noticed that cores are still disabled and clocked down when not in use while High Performance Mode is enabled, so I don't think it will use as much battery as everyone thinks. The governor just seems to be more aggressive at clocking up under load. I'm guessing 30 minutes to an hour less screen on time. I enjoy the smoother scrolling in some apps that it provides, so I'm going to try keeping it on and see how my battery life is.
Thoughts? Anyone attempted this before?
Unless you don't play any games or benchmark the phone you shouldn't really get some benefits of that...also questions should be placed in Q&A !
This mode is just meant to be used for games and benchmarks
But I do see the benefits of it without playing games or running benchmarks... Scrolling in some apps is noticeably smoother.
And I was hoping for more of a discussion, not just an answer, as I will post my findings and would like to hear the thoughts and findings of others.
I'm running it today just to check... Normally, I'm getting ->

What you said is not just preposterous, it's stupid.
Only an idiot could believe some adult, working, family man would leave his phone screen on all day
I was at work all day. Used it as I described there. Nobody asked for what you now ask, so nobody got it.
As for doubting... So you get a bad battery life, I get it. You wanna see my 3 week average screen on time?

Thats great!
If your usage is not heavy, neither mode should matter much.
I checked my processor states, and nearly all the main time, 3 cores were parked, 1 running 300-645MHz.

All around the web I have seen people advising not to use High Performance Mode for anything but benchmarks because it uses a lot of battery, but it looks like those statements are all completely false. It uses a little more battery, but not a lot more, and it's certainly feasable to leave High Performance Mode enabled all the time. I still got great battery life.
On to the results. Nearly 17 hours on battery, with 7 hours of screen on time. More setup details below.
-Completely stock Sense 6, 4.4.3 (2.22.1540.3). No root, no custom kernel.
-Google Now enabled
-"Ok Google" from any screen enabled
-Blinkfeed enabled (with FB, Twitter, G+, and Insta as sources)
-GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi always on
-Pebble smartwatch connected
-Auto brightness set to 50%
-Spent most of the day on Wi-Fi, except for when I went out for about an hour
I used my phone a lot more than I would in a typical day to deplete the battery and get some results, so it will definitely last me more than a full day in High Performance Mode with my normal usage.
Interesting. Going to try this myself. I'm not a HEAVY user, so I'll leave it always on for now and see how it affects battery.

I'm pretty sure fast for you is slow for everyone else considering you're like the battery whisperer or something with your 10 hour screen on times.
Unplugged around 9am 40 min later lost 10%++ battery. Wow its like that everyday.

When there is one to flash I will. I think something hidden can be draining battery I am just not sure what it is
because when I leave my phone overnight it will drain like 1-2% battery but when I start using it streaming music that's when it goes down quick.

when I first got it got hot a lot for a couple of days and battery life was horrible. noticed a lot of my drain was the network eventhough I had full bars. sometimes I would download something and it would disappear, or a app like usps wouldn't save info. called and they offered me a replacement due to defective unit. now battery seems a little bit better but still not great, my old note 2 has about the same battery life as this phone maybe alittle better but I had that phone since it came out. lets see if the replacement is better but if its not im going get a refund.
I'll just put this here.
I'm averaging 2hr 45mins to 3 hours SOT. Is that the norm?
If you can live without active display/moto display. Battery life is much better.

22 hours off battery, 5 hours 1 minute SoT today...only Attentive Display off, everything else on, no greenify,rooted, exposed.
honestly guys, I highly doubt these are defective units. every phone forum has people screaming that yours is defective if this happens. it's simple that some people get much better battery life than others. I never in my life got battery life on any of my phones that others got, and i highly doubt I had a string of like 10 defective different android phones. my note 4 battery life was god awful, and that thing has a huge battery.
either way, i use lte all the time, I have auto upload for dropbox, i have everything syncing all the time. so of course I have bad battery life. this phone seems like it'll be just as bad as my note to be honest... but I'm not going to return it because it's not like I have a defective battery like so many people claim they think they do.

In addition to turning off the Moto Active Display. Turning off Adaptive brightness also greatly conserves battery life. Together, without those two Moto features, the device burns battery like most any device. So it's a matter of whether you want the Moto goodies or not. Turning off the Moto Actions and Moto Voice probably help to some degree also. Goodies have a cost .

5 hours of SOT? I can barely touch 3. I wonder why my phone doesn't hit 4 hours.
Hmm here is what I did today I turned off VolTE and did wipe & dalvik cache wipes. So far I think drain is smaller I will wait until battery dies and re-charge it to full again.
Today I lost 40% just by listening to music in about 1 hour and a half LOL.
I have moto notifications off facebook greenified etc.. everything I could try. What I did just now was turn off adaptive brightness.
Right before any draining starts only 12 hours after unplugged 20min later ? Is this ok or not ?

My new S7 has better battery life than the POS Note 4 i traded in, usually the battery is depleted by the time i get home from work every single day in the last 2 years, now I have 50% left with the new S7, loving it.
I just picked up an s7 on Saturday. I'm not impressed with the battery life so far. Android system is the top battery consumer. I came from the nexus 6p and Android system was never high on the list. Also, it doesn't show up as a top battery consumer on my girlfriends s6.

I REALLY like this phone size, speed, screen, camera, etc. Almost everything is great, which is saying a lot because this is my first non-rooted phone and I was nervous about it. I've disabled the Verizon and Samsung apps I don't care for, so I am good there. The problem is, battery life is pretty bad considering how much it was raved. My LG G3 could easily get the same battery life/SOT. I'm on wifi 85% of the day, good signal strength, yet I barely can get 2.5-3hrs screen time and ALWAYS have to charge during the day. Like others, the Android OS is what's killing my battery. I am within my 14 day return window, and I am starting to think the issues won't be fixed, so it might be time to consider a different phone. Hoping for some help or suggestions here.
Just got this phone yesterday this is my first cycle. I'm not sure why you're getting 2.5-3 I almost got 6hrs and all LTE too... Mostly gaming and browsing some streaming YouTube to my car with blutotooth. I'm very impressed so far even though Android system still showed up on mine as a top consumer. I'll try to get 6hrs screen time if I turn on power saving maybe

Looks about right. That's what I get. It's great battery life for usage. People just get paranoid about Android system using power in standby. Hopefully the next update Congress to Verizon soon and helps the battery get even better.

Did you guys do any disabling? Do you have push email or push exchange, location, etc? I have moderate battery life - about 2.5 hrs SOT on a 17-18 hr charge cycle. I would expect to get better SOT if I used it more often, but obviously at the expense of overall battery life.
I think Android System hides a long t of battery hogs - I think lots of apps will wake the phone to sync or perform background activity or notfy, which gets caught as Android system.

Disabling apps that aren't really needed really help in my opinion with battery life. Disabling location history helps. Turning off some of those unneeded wifi search settings helps too. I turned off the always on display. I think my record was something around 4 hours of screen on time. Using the gear s2 smartwatch I got in the mail from Verizon really decreased my battery life. I am exploring ways to fix that since i really like the watch.

Got an update now, not sure what it is yet.
Can anyone with >4 hours sot post screenshots of their battery life? I'm only trending at 3.5 and the only problematic things are Android system and Android os. Already used 250mah after 3 hours off the charger. Google now is turned off and used PDP already but not on system apps
Same here....on snapdrag...
Honestly my battery life is pretty add. Back on the s7 edge during build 4 of the night beta my standby time was incredible. It stayed on 100 percent for 2 hours (although I did use it for about 15 minutes thought the 2 hours) and I expected the same with this phone even though it has a smaller battery. But I can't even squeeze out 11 hours and that's with PDP (disabling all bloat and even bixby and some other small things). I'm considering a factory reset to see if that helps
Um..... My battery life on the s8 plus is the best I've ever had, on any device, with or without a custom rom. The stand by I get is incredible and screen time is always over five hours.
Already got almost 5 hours 40 min SOT and still have 40% battery left.

Nope. I even installed Knox. So I've got 3 different accounts for WhatsApp and viber running simultaneously. Bluetooth and AOD is off. WiFi and NFC always on.

Maybe your mobile reception is poor. I get medium to high reception at almost all the time.

Poor service can affect battery life?

Yes mate! It can kill your battery very fast. I've lost 20% battery in an hour after leaving my phone in a gym locker with very poor reception with my S7 Edge. The worse the signal is, the harder that phone is working to stay connected. As a consequence, you get huge battery drain in areas with poor reception no matter which brand of phone you use.

You're spot on! I'm full of **** and I actually keep my phone switched off to save battery. You are very intelligent person! You caught out a liar like me over the Internet. I'm sure you also know what I'm wearing.

I have to say battery life's been very good. Get almost 6 hours sot everyday. T mobile s8 here.

I also have been getting 6+ hours so since I got mine this past Thursday. Just yesterday I got 7.5 hours sot over a 28 hours off the charger period. It's pretty damn good.
AOD is off. Turned off wifi and Bluetooth scanning.
Don't have bixby setup or enabled.
No disabled apps.
Have the S8+ btw
AOD is the killer - I probably hover around 5-6 hrs SOT with AOD enabled, 6+ hours easily with AOD disabled.
On my second charge I got just over 6 hours. I have the Canadian model which comes with Snapdragon. I have it set to WQHD+, AOD on, 50% brightness, changed a few things in settings, and use Package Disabler Pro to disable things I don't use. Its quite hard for me to drain the battery on this phone compared to the Note 5 I had.
Battery is better than my note 5.
I charged phone two times now every time sot at 5:30 hours with 15% left
