I win. And after actually doing a full calibration of that, i got ~65 hours total

I was at 2 days 9 hrs with 19% battery life left before I plugged it in the other day.
That would be equiv to 57 hours with 81% drain.
If that was a straight linear drain and with a fully calibrated battery that would be an estimated 72ish hours of battery life.
I am running Onyx 4.2.

i got 4 days 8 hours 12 minutes. still running at 16%.

19% @ 21h 6m 44s since unplugged
but i don't remember if i rebooted or plugged in the usb somewhere along the way. either way, acceptable battery life, maybe slightly better than JI6
obsidian v4.2
edit: w/ stock kernel. i've heard the UCLF kernels have been having battery issues

Anyone can get 60 hours if you unplug, connect to wifi or turn off data and let your phone sit unused...these threads are pointless...

haha holy cow thats a long time with ur battery what do u guys not useur phone a lot???? =-O

Who has a longer battery life? Toyota Prius!
How can you compare battery life on a device that is being used differently from person to a person

Use System Panel statistic at least! I got -1% per 6 hours of sleep on Obsidian v4.2 and ~6 hours of constant usage.

So are you guys using eugene's kernels that give you actually ALL of the battery life by letting the battery die at 3v?

Exactly, even turn off wifi for more juice!!
Realistically, the best I have gotten was 24-25 hours (moderate use)

i actually use my phone normally, for me at least. and yes, i can still get 60 hours. i don't have a data plan, so i use wifi. I text throughout the day, but i'm not a "heavy" user so that's why my battery is higher.

Here you go! Most of has data plan and always connected to 3G, sync contacts with FB, google etc, email client, weather widget, FB feeds, stocks, news blah blah blah...I get 16-18 hours max with all this running and moderate use.

played angry birds for 3 hours straight, still at 90%.

I hit a record.
Yesterday riding around I must have watched a few YouTube videos and surfed the web/used XDA app to read forums. Perhaps I sent a text or two. No phone calls, GPS, or WiFi, though...
2 hours 34 minutes (yes, that's kind of ironic numbering, but that's what it said) later it was at 27% battery life left.
I now have like 80% of the Apps I had installed before uninstalled, so I know it's not a software issue with something draining the battery.
Display was taking 77%. Samsung initially stated that the sAMOLED screens would not drain as much battery, I think that is likely the culprit for many of the battery woes. I will be sure to avoid this screen type in the future.
My HD2 has a much smaller battery, but with the same usage patterns it runs circles around this Vibrant. It's not even funny.
The Vibrant can maybe standby for a day and a half. I can use my HD2 casually but let it stand by a majority of the time and the battery lasts like half a week...
I think the Screen is the culprit, IMO, which would explain why people who turn off auto-brightness and fiddle with that see much better battery life. On the flip side, the issue is exacerbated because the Vibrant doesn't have an LED Notification light (like the HD2), so everytime you get a text instead of using an inexpensive LED notification light, it's flashing that screen on. That means even if you don't use the phone all that much, your standby uptime can still be deplorable compared to some other phones if you get a lot of phone calls or notifications which turn the screen on.

I'll believe that when I see it. In any case if I play a game that long on the phone (I never do, but IF), I'd be at a charger, anyways.

21 hours to 50% ON STOCK
I got 21 hours on 50% drain using the juice defender on the stock rom. Not bad i would say especially considering what I was getting before I took steps to conserve battery life.

As someone else already said, this is kinda pointless. Everyone is gonna use their phone's differently. With all the apps, configurations, etc, there are literally millions of different variables.
Something that I find puzzling... I see so many people upgrading to 2.2 only to get 6-12 hours battery life. Why in the world do people accept that? What is so great about 2.2 that people are willing to settle for having such piss poor batter life just so they can run 2.2 on their phone's? I don't get it at all. The best I could manage on 2.2 was 18 hours. That rom came off my phone so fast it wasn't even funny.
Anyway, with normal use (read: light to moderate) I get just about 3 days with my phone on 2.1 Bionix. I wouldn't be considered an average user though, as I don't have 3G in my country and my widgets only moderately access the web. What helped me immensely was disabling data when I don't need it. I mean, do you really need your phone checking your email, weather, facebook, etc, while you're fast asleep?

i can play pocket legends for 3 hours straight from 100% to 5%. think it's good but not enough.

How has everyones battery lasted for them so far?

When playing games like fallout shelter and such for a few hours and some calls and messages, it is lasting me the entire day.
So I tried recently without playing any games and just using it for browsing the web, phone/texting stuff and I am on day 3 with 20% battery.
Very happy with the battery life of this phone.

Amazing! The battery life is flat amazing... And getting better... I've noticed that after 5 charges it got at least 10% better...

Very satisfied

In the beginning I was disappointed, but it seems to have settled in and gotten better.

It lasts longer than my Nexus 6P, which I expected. I get about 24 hours with decent usage (some video streaming, but mostly listening to podcasts), compared to 12 hours on my 6P.

Mines lasted 12 hours to 10% with 5 hours screen on. It's on a par with my Sony which had the best battery life I've had in a smart phone so far

I think it's pretty poor, having come from a Honor 4x.
I liked the way on my Honor that it killed and kept down battery intensive apps.
Is there a non-root equivalent of this for the Moto?

My battery life is great satisified

Battery life is great I only use the moto when I leave the house otherwise I'm on tablet or laptop or PC or most likely on all 3 lol but the moto been lasting a solid 6 days with about a 1:45 of screen on time.

My battery has been amazing. Got 1day and over 4hrs screen on time
Tmobile Note4...Marshmallowed

3-4 SoT, not bad considering that my previous phone only ever managed to get 2 hours SoT.

I'm totally happy with the battery life. I put it on the turbo-power charger at bedtime, usually with more than half a charge left, after using all day. It's the best battery life I've had in a smart phone.

I'm getting excellent battery life!!
I would post pics but as a new member I cant until the 10 post limit.
I charged at 11pm on July 29th, and lasted me until next charge today at 10am August 1st.
Thats 59 hours!!
However I didnt use it much, screen time on was 3hr37mins and about 3 hours of listening to podcasts with the screen off.
And I'm really liking the turbo charging, from about 5% battery to full in 90mins.

The G4's battery life has been great for me so far! I upgraded from a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 after parts of the screen stopped responding to touch and Vodafone refused to fix it. I was unsure the G4 could beat the immense battery life on that thing, but I'm pleasantly surprised! I can get through a full day with some YouTube, games, and a lot of reading.

I don't game and mostly use the phone for light browsing, texting, and calls. I'm very happy with the battery life so far.

My battery has been amazing. 2days 5hrs screen time.
Moto G (4)

Yeah, about that, I definitely think there is something wrong with my unit. About to get rid of it and go back to my Moto X Pure Edition... [emoji25] [emoji26] [emoji27]

My battery lasts all day poor at charging tho

I'm taking mine back, this past weekend was a nightmare. The phone would not charge no matter if I used the supplied turbo charger, samsung adaptive fast charger, regular charger etc. It would only charge up to maybe 25% and then say it had 8 hours to full charge. It even completely drained my QC 2.0 10,000mah battery pack and never got above 25%. Even with the screen off and nothing running it was getting hot. I'm guessing I just got a bad one, luckily T-Mobile is sending a loaner S7E to use until I can get a replacement Note 7 so I can take this back to Best Buy. Shame because this would have been a great backup phone to use.

Screen on time

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 Sony Xperia XZ1 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Repeatedly getting 6hrs.

Unbelievably good battery life if 2700 mha is taken into account. I'm a very heavy user for business purposes and this is the first phone in a very long time that I don't need to charge the phone during the day. I can't imagine how it would be if it was 3000 mha.
At least 2 hours of phone talk, 2-3 hours of web browsing, 3 mail accounts on imap, wifi-data on, gps off and no facebook or whatnot. It's 7 hours screen on time at night here still with 30% of juice.

For my use this telephone has exceeded my expectations, I've done over 3 days of use and had still 17% of battery left. Compared to the XZ I had before which lasted up to 2 days with 7% of battery left, this in comparison is a monster!!

I have ~5 ½ hours screen in time, with 1 ½ day of battery life time.

Would love more input in this regard

Average 6-7 hours of SOT. Coming from a XZ, XZ1 definitively has better battery life.

6 hours with heavy usage and about 30 hours standby
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

i like to charge when the battery is going below 50%, but usually a 2.5-3 hours SOT is reached by that time, plus when left uncharged through the night, the idle consumption is quite good too that in the morning the battery lost just about 1-2%. Sure there might be some app that disturbs the phone SoT, but the system itself is pretty lean in managing the battery. You should take care of what apps do you use from time to time (as in all other Android phone actually)

For the first few days was getting around 6hr battery life with light usage. But ever since the second week, I've been getting the dreaded "Phone Idle" battery drain and now struggle to get 3hr SOT.

hi all...
I m rooted and with a little debloating (without any app like greenify etc) im getting 6-7 hours (for a month+)
mid-hard usage.

I've installed AccuBattery app that shows statics as follow:
.
SOT = 10+ hrs
Stand by = 60+ hrs
Mixed use (as per my usage) = 28+ hrs
.
I rarely is cellular data, and use WiFi network 4 to 5 hours. I'm happy with battery performance of this phone.
Previously I had Xperia XP which has 6~8 hours SOT. It was hard to achieve full day battery life. So I minimized usage of my phone to stay my phone battery alive for the day.
Now I feel relax myself with this battery performance.

I just bought mine for 3 days.
Today's ost was only 3 hours with 17% left.
Should I return it?

It's not a faulty phone. It depends on app installed, usage, etc. There are many factors.
Debloat/freeze unnecessary apps, remove live wallpaper. Some apps (like Facebook app) keeps refreshing a lot and use more battery, for example.

Thanks.

4 before i installed up to date. 5 hrs-6 on average after i updated. There were times when it impressed me and i'd get 7-8 somehow. But 5 is a good average of what i get.

Using pie debloated, getting 8hrs aprox of SOT, before in oreo 6-7hrs sot

For me Oreo 7:30-8:00 hours 100%-15%
Pie 6-7 hours 100%-15%
Without gaming screen on time always wifi on

Since I've updated my xz1 to android p i can get no more than 3 hours of screen, can anyone help me?

I feel like I received a different phone from everyone else. On a normal day, I do 4 hour of SOT, start at 730 in the morning, finish at midnight with 50% battery left. This is with hundreds of emails received every day, youtube, web browsing, and maybe algal hour of calls.
Not quite sure how gsmarena got such a poor battery rating on this thing.

Good ..6 hours for me... But mainly on WiFi...

Im switching Roms frequently so Cant Tell much about battery.
But yeah I also wonder why everyone is rating it bad, because damn much phones have same sized ?.
Sure my overall experience is kind of sad, because I'm coming from a Moto z play where I got 2-3 days with 9+ hours SOT.
On AOSP based ROMs I had to charge it 1-2 times a day, which is ridiculous nowadays
But now on epic rom I find it hard to kill battery in 1 day, even if im trying to. I'm now at 50% after 7 hours of use with bit less than 3 hours SOT
I guess that's a good thing

1 hour calls. Set on 3G network.
Screen brightness ~30%. Was used 99% indoor so I dont need more screen light.
Browsing, facebook and some youtube on Wi-Fi. Only about 20 minutes on mobile data.

Here are my stats after first charge/discharge cycle

Seems to be a huge difference for me between battery life with one and two sims.

Interesting. Which ROM or MIUI version are you using? How is standby?
For me with two sims, it drains 2% every hour, or more.

Global stable 9.1.2.0.
I'd Def say it was less than 2% for sure, but I have a pretty good mobile signal all the time which definitely helps.

My word is absolute. So believe me when I say. Battery life of Mi Mix 2 is Fuking Godly. This phone never dies no matter how much I abuse. I will be looking to charge the phone but it got so much juice left still.

I usually get 4 hours top, how about others?
I use the phone moderately, AOD, 4G, GPS high accuracy enabled. Auto-brightness, QHD resolution, no battery saver, no high-performance mode.

Exynio version??

Yes

Used to get about 5 1/2 on the s8+. So far I'm at 35% on the so and over 3hrs of sot. Expecting similar with the s9 due to smaller bat.

4.5 hours yesterday ..
Today my 3rd full charge seems to be on Pace for 5 hours plus ...about 50% brightness, multiple Bluetooth devices

First few days was around 4ish now I've done just over 6 twice in a row. Hopefully I'll be able to get 6 on avg going forward!

I usually average about 3.5-4 hours SOT on every phone I own. So far over the last 3 days my Galaxy s9 hasn't been any different. I really don't understand how you people are getting between 5-6

The new system update seemed to have helped. Also I turned off location for a lot of apps that I won't use regularly since it might start using it in the background. Auto brightness is off and my brightness is always about half way or just under. Most other things are on like AOD. Not sure what else could have caused it.
It's always a good idea to check the battery graph page and see what apps are at the top of the list to figure out why your battery isn't doing well. Maybe it depends what you do on the phone too. For me it's mostly web browsing and watching videos.

Full charge in about 1 hour 15 minutes,
SOT averages on 4-5.5 hours
Standby drain is about 1-2% per hour

First few days I had about 2-3h SOT.
Now, after a week I am finally seeing 4 hours. Not very impressed. Only thing I have turned off is AOD and auto brightness. How people get above 5h is beyond me.
EDIT:
Wifi on all day, bad reception area and still 3h SOT with 50% battery left. Looks like the battery life is improving. Note that brightness was at about 20-30%

Best I've gotten so far. Very impressed after a terrible start with the battery life.

Hi guys, I have phone 7 days now and at the atart the battery was quite bad, but now it somehow improved.. I browse web a lot and watch youtube.. Mixed usage of WiFi and 4G. With those numbers I think I could get 7 hours SoT. I was thinking that I will switch the phone for plus version, because of thr battery, but I like the small factor of regular 9. So Im quite happy, that battery is improving after a week. Im on exynos version.

This is what I'm getting on my S9 (SD 845). Picked it up on Friday so have had it for a little over 48 hrs.
https://imgur.com/a/nfeCR
How are you guys getting over 5 hours of SOT and full day of use?
My phone drains 15-19% per hour with the screen on. At night while I'm sleeping the phone drains 1.5% per hour but during the day I'm seeing 4-6% battery drain with the screen off.
I'm using AOD, no battery saving, auto brightness, Location/Scanning on, Bluetooth on, wifi on but only if screen is on or charging.
Coming from my Oneplus 5, I'm getting around maybe half to 1/3 of the battery life of my old phone.
Will the phone get better battery life soon? Seems like everyone else is reporting terrible battery life the first few days.

Should I just throw this garbage away?
Sick of this sh*t. AOD off, WQHD+ Medium Brightness Exynos.

as expected
2nd day, and got 6hrs sot. that's with setting up the phone, taking a lot of photos at a friend's wedding and posting on Instagram, watching YouTube, trying out different themes, downloading and listening to songs on Spotify, having GPS with multiple Uber rides, AOD on, and group messaging throughout. not as good as my previous S8+, but about what I expected with the smaller battery. this is on Snapdragon, without battery saver, and always on entertainment mode.

I've had it for about 5 days and so far haven't seen SOT of longer than 3 hours. Starting to regret selling my S8+ now. I was getting 4-6 hours with that, and 500mAh shouldn't be that different. I have AOD on, HD res (not QHD), and just WiFi enabled, all other connections (NFC etc) off.

Been about 4 days on mine and have started to see 4 1/2 maybe 5 on sot. Similar to my old s8+.
What I did is fully charge and deplete battery to 0. Charge again to 100 and did trick for me.
