I don't personally have the Z Play but I just got it for my sister on my plan and its getting some really great battery life. it had 15% left but already had over 9 hours of SOT! granted she mostly watch's Youtube videos with checking Facebook every so often. what is everyone else getting?
First day of "normal" use, 3.5hrs of strava, zenwatch always connected
The battery life is absolutely insane. I'm so glad I got this little beast.
Yep, battery is great. Might even be better than the Moto X Play battery life.
13% CAN (depends on your settings, brightness etc) yield 2 hours SoT. Does with me
I'm officially impressed.

you have to enable System UI tunner, (press config shortcut on status bar for several seconds until theres a wrech besides it) or google it
Only the Verizon or better the international software shows the battery numbers left to the battery icon. If you have the retail version you can only make visible the numbers inside the icon

Got the phone a few days ago with Verzion, forgot to get the details of the power usage, all I got is the graph.
I use this phone a lot while working to take calls, playing music on my radio with Pandora while driving, and GPS. Wifi enabled, auto brightness, and GPS high accuracy.
Any idea why anyone would need to buy the battery pack Moto Mod when the stock battery lasts this long?

Moto X 2nd gen user reporting. I get 2-3 hours of screen time on my X2 which needs to be charge after 22-24 hours sometimes lesser than that. I keep all the features on, every sensor on. What can I expect? 5 hours SOT and 35 hours recharge cycle? Or even more with everything turned on?

After running down the out of the box battery to 20%, gave it a full charge. Since then, sitting at 6.5 hours off battery, 2 hours 1m 46s of screen on, mostly surfing the web, facebook, a handful of texts, using the Moto Display, Wi-Fi on half that time, off the other half, and about 10 pictures, 79% left.

Screen on time is the most important battery stat. Any chance you can edit your OP to include a screenshot of it starting from fully charged?
Yeah please post screen on times when reporting back.
I picked mine up yesterday, got it all setup, and charged over night. I'll be able to report back later this afternoon once it's had some significant uptime. I also have my LG G3 and Moto X 2013 next to me, and I'm trying to keep the usage uniform across all 3 to compare.

This is comparing a Verizon G3 and Turbo, as well as a T-Mobile Moto X 2013. I've always had issues with the wireless keeping the phones awake, so the battery life isn't what most of you would probably see, but it's still a fair comparison.
DROID Turbo:
LG G3:
Moto X 2013:
So basically it's doing better than the G3 and way better than Moto X 2013. I agree with you though I think the poor Wifi reception is causing the phone to be awake more often or spend more battery maintaining signal. I'm at about 5 hours with 1 hr SOT and 80% battery. Seems reasonable but I thought it'd be better.

That's my conclusion as well, I will run these through the night and I'll have a better comparison, then this weekend will be real world use.
It has something to do with our wireless infrastructure at work that causes devices to stay away 90% of the time, at the end of the work day I'll have 6-7 hours of it being away with very little SOT.
I'm surprised that it's only a slight improvement over the G3 though, I was expecting more.
Still trying to get through my first few cycles. So far this morning my phone is at 90% with only 25 minutes of screen on time. I did run google play music on the drive over here. But still, those are rather terrible battery stats, hoping to get through the first few cycles and get better battery life.

You gotta give it more than the first 10% of one cycle to get an accurate representation. Let us know after the battery is down more.
Still gonna let it get lower before charging again. This is with a full charge. I am coming from the G3 and batt life seems way better on this, but can't tell since not even 1 charge cycle

Exactly, it takes few charging cycles for the battery and the phone to calibrate and maximize the battery life.
Alright here's mine.
Bought yesterday, charged to 100% overnight, used all day at work.
Thus far appears much better than my previous phone, an LG G2, but battery life has never been a problem for me.
Did well in phone arena tests though:

SOT isnt the only thing that shows how a battery is good or not. Like I said, I streamed a lot...with my G3, it would have crapped out long before going a full day, and the battery is only about 20% bigger. I got more than that out of the Turbo. Also note, this was the full first cycle. If you dont know already, the battery will get better after a full cycles. So Im loving it. I only have one true gripe and that is the low call volume, but I know that can be fixed through an update, which I hope they do soon.
I figured we could get this started, so we can start to post stats and screenshots once you finish initial setup/installation and get into regular daily use.
went to bed last night with the idol at 75%. woke up and it was still at 75% to my surprise. (and I did the update right out of the box, for anyone wondering.)
Seem to be great, can't wait fort mine
The phone arrived at around 40-45%. Spent around 2 hrs updating/installing/customizing stuff which was enough to drop the battery to 15%. Mind you that almost all factory settings were still there like vibrate on almost everything and sound on almost everything. Battery was fully charged rather quickly. I had around an hour of SoT before going to bed with around 80-75%. I woke up to a 70% battery after 10 hrs ( I slept in).
I think battery on mine could be improved by turning down the Google Now settings. It is the most power hungry in the battery stats at 9%. Oddly, the location icon is almost always on even if I'm not doing any location related tasks. I'm hoping to look into this more and fully test the battery tomorrow when I go to Sta. Cruz.
The Idol 3 just won't die! I'm using it around the house. Haven't actually put a sim card in it yet, so that might explain some of the great battery life that I've been getting. But this is the first full power cycle after getting it on Saturday. Auto brightness, full sync. I had to stop at 11% so I could do a charge test today. But I have no doubt that this 11% could have gotten me another hour of screen on time. Tons of streaming Sirius too over the front facing speakers (like 5 hours). Very impressed so far. The price is justified by the screen and the speakers alone in my opinion. Add great battery life to the mix and it's a pretty special device IMO.
Charging time is done. Used an Anker 2.0 Quick Charge (just to make sure it got the maximum it could handle). Went from 11% to 100% in 2 hours and 28 minutes. Not too shabby considering how long it holds on to the charge.
Bettery drain while on wifi
Hi, I have bad battery drain while on wifi. What I noticed is that cell signal goes from empty to full while unlocking screen. It goes up to 10% per hour. But when I was away from home for few hours on lte, it was very minimal. Any ideas? Software bug or maybe some app is causing that? Thanks!

I should have checked the battery life before loading all my apps but I forgot. During sleep hours I only have the wifi, auto sync and phone antenna enabled. I also either use the adaptive brighness at 50% or have the brightness set to about 20% with adaptive disabled. The first night I checked the battery overnight usage it was down 16% in 10 hours. That was also runny 3 apps on the notification area. The drain comes to 1.6% per hour. The next night I removed the 3 apps that run in the notification area and the drain was 10% in 8 hours, which comes to 1.25% per hour. That's better than my old phone but I still think it's too high. No apps are open in the recent apps screen.
Is anyone getting better or worse? I would like to compare my battery drain with everyone else.
Edit: I did disable Wifi Network Notification and Scanning Always Available. I'm not sure what kind of effect they have on the battery though.

Yesterday was my first battery experience day. I have to say it turned out pretty good. I got roughly 16hrs from 100% charge down to 15% charge. I got a battery warning when i was headed to bed. Throughout the day, here's a list of the things I did in general to give a scope on usage:
* I had all services on, LTE, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS (High precision)
* i used it to read a kindle book. I had my screen set at about 80% brightness the whole day.
* I have "Automatic" app which uses the phone GPS to track my drives to and From work.
* I ran with Runkeeper GPS
* also streamed music to and from work on my wohle commute (roughly 45 minutes).
* Then throughout the day did normal checking of various apps and websites, and notifications.
* In general during the work day I don't use it much from 9-5, except maybe to check it once an hour , and read a little.
Previously on my Nexus 4, I would have had to have it charging all the way to work. Then charging all the way home, and many times it wouldn't make it to bed time without another charge. With the Idol 3, i didn't put it on a charger once throughout the whole day. Pretty awesome.
This is my second full day. I expect that it will improve after a few cycles but I have absolutely nothing to complain about. WiFi on most of the day. 2 Gmail accounts syncing, Bluetooth on, display only at 50%, (not to save battery, but just because I don't need it any higher)
I have a few small hiccups with the DTTW but it isn't terrible.
P.S. This blows away my Zenfone 2 in battery life.
Battery life is ridiculously good. Charging my phone is no longer a pressing issue for me nowadays. Personally, I am indoors most of the day so I have set my screen brightness to 0% and it is perfectly fine. When I am outdoors, I will pump up the brightness to 100% which increases the battery consumption noticeably.
I've had the phone for a week and a half and still have never gotten down low enough for Battery Saver mode to kick in.
For me battery hold amount of charge EOD.
100% in morning around 10 AM.
1. wifi/4g ON all the time.
2. GPS during commute to work and vice-versa
3. Music app for 1.5-2 hrs.
4. played game for 2 hrs.
5. normal browsing.
Now @ 7 PM : still 45% left.
For those still unhappy with the battery life here are a few free apps that can help:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gpo.greenpower&hl=en [ Battery saver...does things like only keep wifi on periodically to check for hotspots and only turn on bluetooth when charging etc ]
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite&hl=en [ Adjust screen brightness based on light levels ]
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.classic [ Keeps screen on when phone is held in upright position but quickly turns screen off when phone is placed flat ]
I use the pay versions of these and consider them worthwhile.
Does anyone know how the automatic brightness works or if its even useful to have it on

Hey guys
I've had my Sony Xperia Z3 for just over a year now and im considering my next phone purchase. I really enticed by purchasing a S6 Edge+ HOWEVER battery life is the only thing stopping me.
The Z3 battery life easily lasts for two days without me ever worrying about the battery life. I know Lollipop has a mobile radio bug in it which would effect the edge plus but im wondering would two days use ever be possible on the Edge+? I normally get around 6 hours SOT over two days with my Z3 and don't want to be let down too much with my next phone.
I have the same situation... just came from a Z3. Got my edge+ a week ago and, tbh, batt life is way worse, but I am starting to think that I have a faulty cellphone. I am getting around 10h of batt, even after debloating it and using Pixel OFF.
otoh, there are lots of threads running right now, discussing batt life and most people say that it is pretty good.
It's been 5 nights and I complsin it drains 1% per hour.

Hmm so you basically only get a day's use of the phone on average?
It depends how I use it...
Can't tell as my usage is not regular
For sure not 10% per hour with a normal use
But I'm 90% debloated
i find it good, im not yet rooted but after i am whenever i can manage to actually do it i estimate it will be even better, but in general it's all about your usage, you'll definitely get a day out of medium/heavy usage.
do yourself a favor and buy a Aukey plus, ultra fast charging.

I think the biggest idle killer is the mobile radio bug in lollipop, as there is no KK for the S6 Edge plus, looks like im going to stick with the Z3 for now till Marshmellow comes out.
I have more than 5 hours sot and almost 2 days without charging and 19% left. I''m very satisfied. Stock and root is pretty the same.
WhatsApp, candy crush, Internet, YouTube and more of that stuff. Imo no need to worry about battery.
2 days for me too. Wifi on all the time, Screen contrast automatic, Bluetouth off all the time (I don't use it for the moment), Some settings here and there I found in various articles (like smart network off, I use the RAM tools to automatically shot-down most of the apps...)

Wow really? im shocked i havent read that was possible in any reviews i've seen. Could you provide screenshots of your battery stats? If two days is realistic and easy to achieve then i may possible jump to the Edge plus boat.
Mine wont even last 6 hours without draining. Bluetooth on, 4G on, backlight on auto. What's the point in having a high tech phone if you stunt it's features? I just charge at least twice or thrice a day but admittedly, I do miss the battery life of my last phone (iphone 6 plus) coz it really could last a whole day with the same features on.

I dont think i will ever see 2 days. I use Bluetooth all day (synced to my Gear S), GPS is always on, autobrightness, etc. I can get through one day for sure, maybe half of the next day, but thats about it. Thats not using any kind of powersaving modes either. Its as good, or better than my note 4 with NONE of the damn problems (camera and HORRIBLE GPS), so i'll take it. Plus i have quick chargers everywhere...home, car, and an extra one.
I was very nervous switching to a sealed battery and no SD card support, but the 64gb is fine and the battery charges SUPER f'in quick
Is anyone else struggling to get more than 3hrs screen on time in a 12 hour day. I don't game or watch a lot of videos. It seems like the phone isn't going to sleep when I'm not using it. Just testing the waters if my unit is defective. I mostly web browse and read stuff on g+. My screen brightness is a little less than half with adaptive brightness on and enhanced voice over lte is disabled on Verizon. Thanks for the help.

3 hours of screen on time seems pretty good for a phone with a screen this big and with brightness around half way up. Is 3 hours SOT bringing you down to like 0 battery?
What do your battery stats say that make you think your phone isn't sleeping?
I only really tested the battery and checked the stats twice and I think the second time I had 2.5 hours of SOT over the course of 13 hours and my battery was at about 38% (also on Verizon).
I think that is pretty reasonable. If I could get 4 hours of SOT from full battery until dead I would be fine with it. Others have been posting much longer battery lives though.
I have read on this forum that one person tested the phone with the screen looping a video at full brightness and it lasted over 5 hours. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63642067&postcount=391
Some people are showing screen shots of over 5 hours of SOT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63690175&postcount=462

I found my moto 360 was keeping my phone awake (possible bug?). so I disconnected my watch and the phone actually slept when the screen was off! Give it a try!
I just have a pebble but I'll give it a try.
At 2 hours in 13 mins screen on time. Phone seems to be sleeping now but there is a bug in my battery stats. Any clue?
Here are the screen shots
Still not impressed. The phone isn't staying awake now that I disabled Bluetooth but isn't going to doze. I have purposely tried not to use my phone today.
Battery is terrible. I'm hoping once some new kernals hit it gets better... Because right now I'm thinking of returning this thing.

I am not sure why people keep complaining about BT on. I leave mine on all the time. Although i don't use my smart watch any more, so it is only connected in my car and my BT speakers at home when I want to listen to music in bedroom or so. I don't have any drains. I get 4-5 hours SOT in 24 hours. This is a first for me always owning nexus in the past. I am very happy. I also started testing the force doze mode on screen off setting with greenify today. It is making standby noticeably even better.
First day with pretty heavy use. The best battery I've had in a phone.

Install gsm battery and find what is sucking it down.
I bet anything those having battery trouble have apps syncing in the background like facebook, email, etc. My phone has been of the charger since 9am it's now 1am I have 2:20 sot with 58% battery left
I got my 64gb 6P yesterday and since then have only been getting 3.5 Hours of SOT with very light usage, VERY light... My brightness is 20% all location and Google Now services are off too. Why am I getting such poor battery life compared to others? Any solutions? Thanks.

Try installing the factory image of 6.0.1 from Google. The instructions are on the same place as the images. I had issues on my device by updating and fixed it by Flashing the factory image.

Will this wipe my device? Could it be that the OTA 6.0.1 update I have was an issue?
On LTE?
My battery life :3.5-4.5 SOT with 24-27 hours unplugged

Yes it will wipe the device. You could first try and just clearing cache from recovery and see if it gets better. It's usually a good idea to do that anyways after an update. But yeah updates can cause issues since it is patching rather than a complete clean install.
I am on wifi most of the time... The device is one day old and it seems to lose a fair bit in standby...

Could I backup my stuff whilst not rooted first? Also, is it worth rooting and installing a custom rom + kernel now. I see posts that some roms give 6+ hours of SOT... Thanks, any help is appreciated
For example, I'm at 72% battery with 50 mins SOT...

What do you mean by VERY light? If you use the phone in a manner where you constantly check notifications (screen on and off) and in short bursts, I would think 3.5 hours isn't too bad for a single charge. I get about that SOT with:
- Stock ROM and kernel
- 3 exchange emails on push notifications w/Nine
- Wifi/bluetooth scanning off but both radios on at all times
- Google Now on, battery saving mode for location
- About 30-45 minutes of YT videos per day
- On Wifi nearly 80% of the day
- Check twitter feeds and light texting
- Few phone calls
- Off charger around 6AM and will get home around 6-7PM with ~50% remaining
I can probably push the SOT to 4 to 4.5 if I have longer sessions in watching videos or reading.

Yes, I am on and off a lot, I turn it on for 5 mins and to check facebook or text or whatever. I do that a lot throughout the day. When I watch YT videos it lasts for hours longer. So am I getting what I should be getting then? Does going off and on it a lot decrease the battery faster? If so, thanks for letting me know, I REALLY appreciate the feedback.
youve had it for ONE day!

Check the MANY threads about battery life in the forums and common theme you'll see is that SOT is like gas mileage. Longer the trip and more consistent the speed, you'll get more efficiency out of the car.
There are folks reporting 5-6 hours+ and I don't doubt that they do, but most folks just say "I get AWESOME SOT!!!!!" without really describing their setups and usage pattern in detail. Based on the phones I've had previously (N5, S2, HTC M7, S4), and my usage pattern, this is the first phone I have not had to worry about charging mid-day which is all that matters to me. So long story short, don't worry about getting X hours of SOT, but rather compare how the battery does based on your usage patterns against the phones you have had previously (also don't read the battery threads if you get influenced too easily because it can make it seem like you have a defective unit).

The battery is better than my previous phones!! Thanks for the help, you have reassured me a lot. I do have to charge it mid afternoon as just a top up, but it only takes around 30 mins to get enough charge to finish the day which is perfect.
Yep, I'm usually good with one full recharge a day.
I took it off charge at 5:30 am and left it on my desk until 6:50 when I checked it. It dropped 5% in that time. The battery graph suggests that there are wakelocks? HELP?!

He is being cryptic on purpose. Doze is marshmallows new sleep state. Go to the doze settings for play store and check the last setting. Not sure what those options are because I've never done it but that's what I gathered from his comment.
Not to be rude, but there are so many posts like this... Please do some research?
Have tried clearing cache?

I shouldn't have to clean the cache after 2 days of owning the device, surely
