Romanian - ROM CSC latest patch

This is possible if you continuously keep the screen on without doing anything on it. It's what you did too.
Or if it's the other way, seriously, 12 hrs continuously you stared on the screen? (12hr sot in a total of 12.5hours)

well i am getting 3.5-4.5 hr SOT... depends on the wifi vs 4g usage... but usually average 4hrs SOT...

Which applications? Can show a screen, all disabled? Do you use it wathsapp? Is sync enabled?

Here is the xml for all of the things I have disabled.
I have been constantly on Whatsapp.
The sync is turned on 5 minutes every three hours ( via Tasker ).
Location is on with minimal accuracy.

THIS ! exactly this. this is not a real life scenario and im guessing the OP also enabled battery saving mode which means underclocking.
so, stock with disabled apps and only 1 app running and using data and screen continuously on with battery saving on and this is the result, yes it is possible.

I'm more impressed you've managed to stay on your phone for 12 hours out of 12h30min of it actually being turned on...
But to me 12 hours and my phones dead does not seem like a win for me at all.
A stat with 24h on time and around 7-8 sot would be much more impressive.
Anyway the battery is the same as it always has been it's just how you use the phone. (Not security patch)

Speaking of, I haven't received the June OTA yet. Any links to that? I'm on the LUX CSC.

Yes its a nice stat you could probably gain an extra hour+ of SoT from applying a AMOLED friendly black theme/using blacked out apps(facebook,twitter etc) too Only problem is you loose some of the S8 ports beauty...
I'm getting around the same using Ambasadii's S8+ port 5-6 hour SoT but if i theme it black amoled i still have about %30 battery left by the time i go to sleep and put the phone on charge.
Usage is casual ... Xda/whatsapp/facebook/twitter/browser/downloading/PokemonGo

Yeah bro
I am unable to find a theme which turns everything black but also preserve S8+ beauty
Terpischora messes up the Notification panel. I cant read anything from Gmail/Whatsapp and also notifications from other apps.
Do you know any good Themes?
Is Ambasadii S8+ Port good? Heating? Bugs? Stable?
I have downloaded Ambasadii Rom havent flashed it lol.
Renovate s8+ port ROM is stable so didnt flash ambasadii yet.
Also I think There wont be anything new in Custom ROMs except Security patches from now on. Development has reached its peak for S7E. Devs migrated to S8+

They might help with the notifications etc but i dunno about preserving the s8 beauty haha impossible if you go full battery save mode
There the ones i was using.. i aggree the s8ports are kinda at a standstill now only standard bugs like camera faces etc dont get any overheating or battery drain with it seems stable as any other... one of the reason why i swapped it to my primary instead of stock.

Stock, Oreo beta, or Lineage?

Got a new PH-1 coming soon. I'm thinking I'll put it through its paces by installing an alternate ROM from the get-go.
I'm not trying to provoke an argument, but I'd like to hear some reasoned viewpoints on which ROM I should go with for the honeymoon period: stock, Oreo beta, or Lineage?
It's been a while since I've had a phone that was getting a lot of attention from devs, so I feel spoiled for choice.
Thanks!
i'd like to know the same. any opinons folks?
I have tried and confirm all room are working very well, I'm using Oreo now. If you want some more tweak you can try Lineage, for example you can double home icon to turn off screen with Lineage.
Lineage is great, but trying PacRom now and it is buttery smooth with amazing battery life and tons of features.

I am using the Oreo beta with no issues. Phone has been unplugged since 8am, and after 8.5 hours I am still at 93%, so not bad at all. That time includes a few phone calls. I have BT on, and don't see any weird drain...

how so? my SOT is 3 hours vs 6 hours
I didn’t say screen on time. One of the complaints of the beta is battery drain from bt even when idle, and I am not seeing it.
With last official rom i have 7h sot And i have next 20% (brightness) 60% i have hw revision 1.8 i havent got problem with signal always 103- 105 dBm lte+ in Czech it is realy best phone i ever have better then iphone or galaxy s7
Honestly, I play a lot of clash Royale and there's this bug where nothing I do with all the custom ROMs that keeps it from the camera notch obstructing the game and a bottom black bar is added. Even with adjusting it in extended display mode it doesn't work. This keeps me away from the custom ROMs. I've asked people about it and they say they dont have a problem with it, but I think they're lying or dont play full screen games or video

Is this the Nougat Pac Rom from December or is it Oreo? If it's Oreo could you please share a link.

Did you happen to read the date that was posted?
I would do the Oreo Beta myself...been using it with little or no issues. I'm not a heavy screen user most of the time, so I wake up with a full charged battery and go to bed 12-16 hrs later with well over 85% battery most days. The latest build of Oreo (OPM1.180104.092) seems to be quite well behaved.

System service drain

I was convinced on the forums that my system service drain was regular until I took a look at my buddy's phone , he has a le s3 with 2 sim cards and his system service doesn't normally go past 80 mAh on a full charge . Something has to be wrong
This is a screenshot of my sot when I first got the phone
8 hours of SOT is really good. You can try installing Wakelock Detector to get a different perspective. Also, anything that uses accessibility services may harm battery life. Another thing you can do is go to settings-permissions-autolaunch and disable autolaunching of apps that don't need to be running all the time. You can see what apps are currently running in settings - app management. One last thing is that your signal strength isn't that great, so it may just be how it's supposed to be.

I'm in the same boat as you, only I'm running OmniRom. But yeah, had 8h sot, can barely make 6 now, android system is my second biggest drain, with 2+ hours of cpu usage.
I have tried and I have found that 7.1 to 8.1 do not have the best battery life.
I personally have been aopk 6.01 and been getting great battery life.
I did do a stress test I did gaming and blasting next radio 21 minutes use only 6% of battery.

I've tried everything , disabled all apps in auto launch , tried it with airplane mode on , enabled background resource control . Never go past 7 hours max screen on time . My screen brightness is usually very low throughout the day
What are all of these services ? My buddy has none of these
You are running stock I take it.
Different ROMs are going different services like you show.

Went through a hard 12 hour process , finally unlocked bootloader , installed twrp and running lineage . Going to be testing battery life
I have the same problem with Eui rom. As long as the display is turned on, the system service will exploit the battery. Nobody knows that?
There are no such problems in custom roms.(Aicp,omni vs )

Flash Magisk and try Greenify4Magisk. It's gotta be some third-party app you're running, or you have a bad cellular connection. Are you getting full signal on your phone? Do you have LTE running as well?

I haven't installed many apps , just the basics like Snapchat WhatsApp Twitter and Instagram . I tried to flash magisk but that would mean uninstalling super su . I normally get around 3-4 bars but I don't use cellular data . I have Greenify but it doesn't seem to be doing much

[app] [rom] battery life extending and low draining roms

To avoid early batterie break it's everywhere recommended to charge not up to 100% and also not discharge low to 0%.
1. I've used some years battery charging limit:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.batterychargelimit
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-battery-charge-limit-t3557002
But I can't get it work on mi9
2. Now I'm using ACCA
https://github.com/MatteCarra/AccA
It's working with power supply but it don't work with wireless charging. Is there someone who knows a solution ?
Please post here all apps which are able to start stop charging at adjustable levels.
3. Thread is also open now for tips and tricks for low draining ROMs and mods like lkt, fde.ai,kernel optimization.
Here you'll find the statement for my actually installed ROM:

I use Battery Charge Limit, It works fine (stopping at 75% both in wired and wireless charging). Version 1.1.1

Hi
Here in this thread we're discussing how to extend battery life with charging settings not for the daily usage time.
But if your rooted like my mi9 transparent with revolution os you can freeze some miui apps and and other bloadware and you can make fine adjustings in build.prop
I didn't like battery saver apps. Only one for me is good : leandroid apk
In the moment I've got only 3% discharge over night. And SOT around 7 hours (not completely tested in case of only 3 days usage of revolution mod)
My free RAM is around 5.3 GB
I'm using automatic brightness mod v4
Have a look here:

Use auto brightness but you may have to push it up at times to get it to a level of your liking or I do.
I use mine hard and get great life. But it depends on which ROM you have and what update you have installed as they had issues with a few as I did myself.
I have EU global stable 10.2.28.0
I get 17hrs with 9hrs being SOT before I charge normally.
I can get over 11hrs straight SOT.
I've gotten 31hrs with 6hrs 23min SOT.
I consider that excellent especially for how I use mine doing a lot of videos and watch a lot of YouTube as well as movies with it

I have stock, I have not changed what the factory provided. Just going off there updates but I was about to and I will in the future. But it automatically kills your warranty so I didn't do it yet not that it really matters.
But I have WiFi connected at the house along with LTE not 4g which they are pretty much the same.
But it says LTE.
It's the first time I ever heard I shouldn't charge my phone to 100%. Can someone direct me to an explanation for this? (I knew already about not letting it go to 0%)

ROM with adjustable charging percentage
Hi guys
I'm now on Syberia 2.8 with evira kernel and lkt and its nearly perfect for me.
The best is that already a charging controller is implemented and the battery is also low stressed in case of a good power management. Over night around 2% discharge and SOT around 7 hours (mixed usage in dark and sun with velis autobrightness)
Only AI button and directly unlock by fingerprint isn't implemented at the moment.
But there is a flip to mute ringtone, call recording, long screenshot, full gesture control with back on swipe from right and or left side..... And much more....

Actually not,unlocking the bootloader or even rooting does not kill the warranty according to Xiaomi's policy . One of the few companies that allow it.

Not anymore, better read up on there policies. Also when you do that you loose your updates. You will no longer be eligible for factory updates but I know that really shouldn't matter because you can do it yourself at that point.

Battery issues on many custom ROMs

Hi guys, I've got a problem that keeps me forcing using stock ROM instead of custom ROMs. Basically, on every custom ROM I flash I get horrible battery life no matter what. Like 4 hrs SOT while on stock ROM with the same usage I can even double that result. It's very frustrating :/ anyone else experienced this? I've tried Pixel Experience, crDroid, Paranoid Android, CarbonROM and ElementalX.
On every single one of them I get horrible battery life after a week or so, still can't figure out why. As I said, stock ROM drains just fine and allows me two days usage with 7/8 SOT hrs. I remember having to revert back to stock because Paranoid Android 3 could barely last me until evening with ~4hrs SOT.
Any advices ?
Syberia Rom try ?
Trust me mate, i felt the same what you are feeling, tried all the roms but wont get satisfied with the battery but not with pixen os , its a beast in sot i wont get even 5 hours with other roms but in pixen able to get upto 7 hours of sot(without gaming) , after flashing you have to wait for a week to get better results. At first you will face deep sleep issues but its ok let the rom get adapt with your device after a week you will get better results. Its been a month still i am getting upto 6 hours of sot with lil bit heavy usage (without gaming). Good luck
Here's my stats for today. Definitely more than I'll ever need. This is my fav setup thus far using my 6t which I purchased from swappa used some months ago. I watched a ton of youtube vids, read lots of news from my Google news feed, texted for some hours using signal, made a few calls and read XDA of course. ?
I'm definitely happy with this. Normally I never even reach this far as I took my phone off charge a bit sooner than usual and it's waaaaayyy past my bed time. Haha!
My setup:
Corvus rom+ Radioactive kernel=?

Very rarely. Like maybe 30 minutes in those stats I posted here. Now I've made my tweaks. Installed Naptime and Servicely apps and tuned them and also installed magisk module to make Google services doze aggressively as well. And I wiped my phone and reinstalled OOS + Corvus rom+ Blu Spark kernel. This time I backed up my system partition so if I get all crazy installing sound mods I can restore my system and it's untouched. I stay on LTE almost always but when my phone's not being used most of the time I turn off my data and sync..

Bad battery life / new OP8Pro / 5-6h SOT / Tips?

Hi y'all,
bought my first OnePlus ever a week ago but I get like 5 hours of Screen On Time, while I saw here on xda people getting even 10 hours with 120 Hz.
Running latest stock ROM, not rooted because I actually don't need root.
FHD+ 120Hz, no AOD.
Factory reset done, Wipe Cache done.
I'm not gaming, using my phone for Chrome, WhatsApp and Social Media (not 24/7).
Any tips for me?
I kinda do like the phone and may keep it, but I hate to say that my 3 years old P20 Pro still gets 6-8h SOT. I know, display is better on 8Pro but still...
I dont have a problem installing custom ROM and custom Kernel if that's gonna get me towards those 8+ hours SOT.
If installing custom ROM, I still need my banking apps working/safe, if that's maybe not the case.
Thanks!
Stay on latest OOS, root and use a custom kernel

But with root my Banking Apps may not work right? Paypal/Crypto/etc. may not work or be safe either or?
I already tried debugging with GSAM Battery Monitor and noticed that Google Play Services wakes the device pretty often but somehow doesnt use much % Power. Google Play Services has also the highest Sensor Time of all apps.
Any tips on that one?
And also, which Kernel? Bluspark?
Turn auto brightness off if on; then set brightness low.... See if it helps.

It will take few days to settle up but still, with stock OOS it was bad.
I flashed LineageOS + Magisk + Radioactive Kernel and I am still testing it out but it doesnt seem to be much better than stock. Maybe a bit but no way of reaching 8 hours SOT.
I'd suggest try something else and report here, so I can test it out too.
I was thinking of testing PixelExperience and/or Stock rooted OOS with custom Kernel but I'll give a LineageOS a chance 2-3 days more.

I'd suggest try something else and report here, so I can test it out too.
I was thinking of testing PixelExperience and/or Stock rooted OOS with custom Kernel but I'll give a LineageOS a chance 2-3 days more.

Thanks. I just installed Omega Kernel and that seems to have made a slight difference.
Do you use AccuBattery by chance? My estimated capacity is 3855 mAh ~ design capacity is reading correct @ 4510 mAh. Not sure how accurate this is, but it would mean that the battery isn't what it should be or received a used device / defective battery?

Nope, I dont use AccuBattery. Tbh I think it cant read the value correctly.
I actually flashed Havoc Rom 2 hours ago, no custom kernel. Ill check how it's gonna be.

How can you flash Havoc | Custom Roms without TWRP? Where can I find Havoc? I didn't see in the custom ROMS / Kernels section.

How's Havoc battery life after a day? I added Naptime and am using the Magisk Module GMS Doze. My overnight drain dropped from 10% to 7%, which is still way too high. I am using xXx No Limits as well.

I haven't set my phone fully yet because i wanted to try the Rom out. I have now "only" Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord and few smaller apps logged in but that's it. I don't know about standby drain but I'm now at 51% battery with 4hours screen on which means it's better but still no chance of reaching 10 hours. 7 hours should be reachable right now
