It's been nearly 27 months of daily and intensive use of my oneplus one and I can't be happier, not even consider buying a new smartphone with the performance of this little one.
I was in fact considering buying a new battery, wasn't noticing any noticeable decrease in battery life but it might just be because of the slowness of the wearing and buying a new one will immediately result in much better results.
I found an app called accubattery that tests wear by measuring charging currents vs charge percentage over time and would love to see how is you battery performing, also wanted to know the results of a new battery if some of you have indeed swapped it already.
Here are some screenshots

Considering a new battery would perform about 97/98% (just guessing) that's about 5% wear every 8 months. Seems like a really slow pace if you ask me.
Would love if some of you guys test it for a couple of charges cycles and share your results vs age of your device.

You shouldn't trust these battery apps. Measure it that way - if the battery lasts long enough for you - you don't need to replace it. Otherwise get a replacement and hope that it's better than your current one.
Right now I get about 3.5-4 hours of SOT with Stylo King's profile and I charge it every night. Perhaps I'll replace the battery within a year but who knows - I might just get an external battery instead.

Sure enough, I'm still OK with the battery life. But it's interesting to know how fast batteries are wearing and how much improvement we get with a new one. This app measures how much capacity it can hold, battery life is a different story.
20% wear might not seem a lot but imagine you have an extra 20% each time your battery dies. Might consider a new one in the near future.
i am really interested to this topic too. for now, you can refer to the answer to this thread of mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/how-battery-1-2-years-t3414249
the biggest problem at the moment is that most of battery sold online as original are simply fake and works very bad, so finding a replacement it' s hard. Oneplus support asks for aroun 80€ to replace the battery

I woke up 20mins ago and I uplugged my evo from the wall...said 99% battery right now it said 83% and there were no apps running or anything,no phone calls no texts, nothing, it just sat on my desk.
anything I can do to optimize battery? I am considering buying one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-3500mAh-exte...Accessories&hash=item3cb822c62d#ht_4799wt_752
can I check if my 1500mah battery is good? thinking of going to sprint to have it checked out.
I searched and found a guide about plugging and unplugging the phone a few times but it did not help me.
That plugging/unplugging thing really works the best for and SBC kernel.
What setup are you running now (ROM/Kernel)?
There is a way that HTC released, it's in my signature.
Running synergy RC2 with latest radio package in the dev section.
try the radio setup I have in my sig.
Buy another battery. lol. But in the package with the external charging unit. so you can let your batteries run close to dead once in a while then just swap the battery. It'll keep those batteries in good shape. :-D Don't blame it on radios. But could be just that your signal/tower where you're at sucked for a few minutes. maybe they were working on a tower? who knows. Good signal=good battery
I bought this battery and can get 4 days off a single charge with normal usage, and 2 days with heavy usage: http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Exte..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1311442664&sr=1-2

I am going to try the uplugging charger trick again...the ac compressor on my car went bad and I'm trying to save a few bucks to get it fixed
I'm thinking of going the ebay route and getting a cheap 3500 mah battery.
damn I cant buy the 3500 >_< phone wont fit in my otterbox case, the max mah of a stock fit battery is 1800 right? Guess I'll have to settle for that
I wanted one of those, but sadly. like no one is smart enough to give us a real case to go around it. there aren't any supplies for it on cases. Plus it looses the point of the phone being at least a little light. makes it too thick.
Yeah, I tried to look for some but didn't find anything, my brother bought this phone for me on the local classifieds and the dude who sold it to him had 2 batteries for it with a wall charger...I don't use the second battery because its a pain in the ass to switch when you have an otterbox case. thats why I may get the 1800 battery, I've read around that its the same size as stock.

I don't want to start a war or anything but...hows battery life on the iphone 3gs? I know a ton of people in school that use the thing alot for surfing and texting and they keep going at it after school, dont see them carrying chargers or anything o,o
So check this post out:
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/35vp8k/how_is_this_even_possible/
TL;DR - this guy claims (and seems to have posted screenshots of) nearly 8 hours screen-on time, fully stock.

He says he's getting almost 8 hours of screen-on time at 40% brightness and he's completely stock -- and your response is "so what"?
I am not sure how it's possible, what the guy is claiming.

yup, so what? what does his battery life have to do with my life? nothing!
battery life is completely personal, depends how you use the device, what you install, your setup, and your signal quality.
As long as battery life isn't completely horrible, I can live with whatever I get. I have a 13,000 mah portable charger, a car charger, a charger at home, and one at work. Not worried.
I never got 4+ SOT with all kind of battery saving techniques.
Unfortunately it's really easy to fake this. Not saying he's been dishonest. I applaud his tweaking if it is legit

Why would you want to partialy disable and cripple a near perfect device for another hour of screenontime? Realy, ever heard of powerbanks

When I first used the OPT, I noticed that it loses battery *in standby* pretty fast. Screen on time was good but just leaving it be would drain a lot of battery. I turned off LTE but also noticed that it often struggled with cell network quality (which usually makes a phone look for other stations etc. thus battery is used a lot).
However, today, after a couple of days of use and maybe 3, 4 recharge cycles, it seems a bit better. Is there a chance that this is an actual effect (it could be something very different). Do batteries also get better after some use or am I just biasing my highly non-scientific measurements here?

I've noticed this too. I think that this battery technology does improve its capacity after several charge/discharge cycles.
Correct but what about 100+ cycles... It start loosing its power.... What's the best way to keep a li-ion unit last longer? Any help or suggestions?

Good practice is not let battery overheat, like when you play and charge, also batteries don't like to be fully discharged try to keep at least 20% and start charging again

Short answer. No, worse.
I'm interested in the V20 (to replace my V10) but am very concerned about the battery. Anyone had, or have, both a V10 and a V20?
The CPU improvements will be nice but that battery is key.
Thanks!

Seems to be somewhat better for me. Not twice as long, but it seems I can get a few extra hours of my (admittedly not very heavy) usage.
Even a few extra hours would be welcomed... Thanks for the input! Looking further into XDA, I appreciate how the V20 seems to be rootable as well.

I almost bought a V10 used to see if maybe I would get a V20 later. I'm glad I went ahead and just got the V20. For me it is better than the Note 4 with the same use.
However, standby time is insane with Android 7.0. Standby on the Note with 6.0 was very good but 7.0 takes Doze a step further and works amazing. If they update the N4 to Nouget then it will prob be about the same as the V20.

At the time of typing this I have 1 hour 15 minutes screen time and the above screen shot.

They did the V20 good with power saving software. Much better than the V10 which I had previously.
As for screen time and battery size, there's not much of a difference. Maybe a hour more tops.
I bought the V10 in Oct 2015. Got the two battery and SD card deal. Initially, the battery life was good, not quite as good as the V20 has been, but by the time the phone was 6 months old I was changing batteries by noon and still charging later in the afternoon (depends on the day).
The V20 has been great, some power use days I am charging at 6 PM (usually take it off charge at 7-7:30AM on the regular)...other days, I still have 70% left at 10PM with a couple calls, couple texts and checking Facebook hourly.
Now, my wife gets the hand me down, and now uses the V10, she is not a poweruser. on one battery she can get through the work day, but is usually charging when she gets home.
Post your battery and the period you have the phone,
to get there you need dial*#*#service#*#* on the numbers and scroll to "battery health test" (work on any stock ROM xperia)
mine is 2429 (out of 2700Mah) got my Z5C for 1.5 years

wow really good score, its seems you really save your battery.
(if you reflash\factory rest its need 2-3 charges to get accurate again)
but.. in the other hand ,my phone was 2850 when was new even its 2700 on specs.. so it could be
(maybe the charge optizmion bug i've got ruin's my battery life)

yeah I was surprised too. Actually I was expecting something worse due to the age of the phone, the fact that I never used the "battery optimization option" and my Z5C is often charged with almost full battery (using it in the car as alerter for speed cameras/traffic jams <- USB connected). Maybe the result is influenced by the fact that I lost the original power supply early, since then I am using the one from my old S4 mini with less output (I think 1.0A).
Last factory rest was when Android 7.0 was rolled out in Germany (by Sony - without provider branding). I checked it for the first time, so I can't say which value was shown when my phone was new , but I am looking forward to see results from other users.
2672000 here.
In use since Jan 2016 - 1 year 7 Months .
I'm one of those who become nervous when getting near 50% so it frequently hangs on the wire - several times a day, actually.
I was worrying about ruining my battery by this treatment, due to reading a lot about having to 'train' your battery by sucking it down to 15-20% at times. So this is all crap information, obviuosly.
Thank you for posting this code, btw.
Useful information!
