the phone is like 6 moths old but i got it yesterday, it was my moms, the camera is OK but you have to play around in the settings to get it right for the situation, id say don't take low light hoots if you don't have to but its not that bad at all for normal pics
Camera is ok...Not so good, but not that bad too, just ok.
About battery life, depends on your usage. Mine usually lasts for 12 hours, with 3g on all day, using whatsapp, tapatalk, chrome, sometimes playing games...
You can check
The great battery impression thread too.
— From my mako
Actually after the Google Camera update the camera takes decent photos, and after editing them with the built in photo editor they do look very good, as long as you know how to use it properly
Camera is really okay. It pales infront of current high end cameras like the one m8 or z3, but the shots are always satisfying. You really must know how to handle it.
My batterie life is also very good. It last at least one day with chatting, browsing, a tiny bit gaming, music and movies. On screen time always are 3,5/4+ hours. I think there is nothing to complain about.
i have the n4 since january 2013, and im getting less and less satisfied with the battery life.
im a heavy user, lots of browsing, listening to music on bluetooth, chatting, etc., and i used to get a day of use out of it easily, now i have to charge it to be able to pull through work and the usual evening beer.
i rarely get more than 2 hours screen on time, and im constantly on wifi or 2g, just a couple of times 3g, with about an average of -70dBm cell coverage.
every keep awake permission is revoked, and only a handful of apps get access to my location, so the phone is mostly in deep sleep.
average battery drain is about 2,9% according to system monitor for the last couple of days.
if battery life is important to you, id rather recommend the moto g.
Depending on usage and reception about 3-5h screen on time.

Its subjective
From morning to bed time if you use your phone actively throughout the day
or 2 days if you only make calls and listen to music
Zenfone6 , Just bought this phone. The speed is awesome, style is great, camera is not really good for 13Mp, the temperature quite hot while running heavy game but it's Ok, battery drain quite fast (I kept it lock with only fb and bbm notif running, but the battery drain to 96% in 8 minutes after full charging).
And the big problem is my rear camera is not not working after i upgrade to kitkat. I got no idea how to dealing with this problem, so, do not upgrade the firmware, cause lot of problem came after this. Trust me
Help me with thi problem ....
Hi everyone,
I have got my Oneplus Two ever since last September. It is a great phone overall. However, one thing that's bugging me is the battery life. I admit I am a relatively heavy user, but I can only squeeze out about 3 hours of screen on time out of it.
I thought earlier, maybe it is the problem of Oxygen OS (it overheats like hell as well). Then I switched to CM13 roms. CM13 does not overheat at all and is smooth all the time. But the battery performance is still not ideal. I would say it's probably just 10% better than OOS..
Any ideas on this? I don't care about warranty and I am an engineer .. should I maybe try to replace the battery? I suspect the battery is dodgy after lots of overheating in the OOS..
Thanks for advice!! Cheers.
3 hours heavy use is pretty standard for the phone. The phone doesn't let the battery get to dangerous temps so I don't think that's the thing. Android has always had kinda poor battery life at least when it comes to standby times. I'm on Seraphs CM13 and it seems to have a decent power consumption, maybe give it a try?

Thanks! I will try it out!
As Kirahvi said 3hrs are, more or less, normal for OOS 2.2.1 stock.. Now I'm using stock rom with boeffla (which allow underclock), Amplify and greenify.. and my SoT is about 5.30hrs!
3 hours is also the max I've ever gotten, though its usually a little less than that for me. I am a heavy user of my smartphones while I'm commuting on the train, because I have music on + constant screen on while surfing the web/facebook/twitter. And while I'm at work I have bluetooth connection to my Huawei watch to receive notifications throughout the day. Nowhere near the folks who managed to squeeze 4hrs - 6hrs SOT daily but overall still reasonable.
Battery life for me is the same on OOS and CM13. Standby time on marshmallow is a little better with the introduction of Doze, though it only works if your device is left stationary for a period of time.
I'd also like to point out that battery life is the same for me with or without the Facebook/FB Messenger app. Thats why I left them installed.
I got 4 hours if I tweaked the heck out of thing, reduced brightness and just managed power ad much as possible, but more often then not I was at 3.5 or less. I am using the Hydrogen beta and I get 4.5 without any effort and have even hit 5. You might try that too, I have tried ALL the CM13 ROMs it feels like, in fact I keep a backup of Seraphs nightlys as I like it so much better than hydrogen, but by far hydrogen gets the best battery life...and its not close.

More than 4 hours is just because people read a lot on their phone, 6+ hours I think you can easily reach that lowering the brightness, under clocking, never turn off screen and just let phone idle don't even touch screen never

Guys,what lot of people not really undarstanding,SOT its not really show you how is the battery,lot of else is playing in the background which is affecting your battery.
for example:
-celluar coverage(if you got less the perfect conennection its gonna drain your bettery,and no its doesnt matter how big city you living,more people,more house ,less coverage
-wifi (same as above,how good and stable your connection,as less the drain)
-kind of apps(which is more frequently sync,and connecting with gps ,those use more battery)
-How long is the phone without the charger(yes if you pull off the charger and living on the table always screen on ,using a bit and after 4h you uploding the stat,is it the same?? NO!)
Im living in central London with bad coverage,bad wifi connection all around,and from 9am till 1am I got around 3h SOT,which I think not bad with these condition.
So guys dont compare each other SOT ,couse every connections and condition is different.
Guys I just got this phone through the Nexus 6p RMA I got a pixel xl 32gb and I just wanted to share something positive. Today using the phone for the first full day I got 7 hours of screen on time with 7 percent battery remaining. I'm shocked I've never seen better battery life or even close from any other phone. Nexus 6p in the beginning managed 5 hours sot sometimes but it degraded fast and pretty much got 4 or less for my 2 years with it so 7 hours is such a blessing. I love this phone.
I'll attach some pics I took before but didn't end up taking a picture at 7% but you can extrapolate from the photos.
Yes, but remember as a general rule it's a lot better when on wifi. It isn't as good on cellular only. Just a fact of life. I can get six+ hours SOT on wifi but only about five off it.
Good to hear...I did the same RMA.
Loving this phone. I can't believe it went under the radar.
I was using an iPhone 7 Plus...but can't see myself going back...that one might be for sale soon lol.

Ditto! RMA nexus6p for Pixel XL and it's battery and smoothness is awesome! ??
My 6P was so awful on battery I had chargers everywhere plus carried a big portable power pack.
With my new XL I have to remember Not to plug it in. Night/Day.
I am also a newer adapter of this phone and I've had it about 2 weeks. This is my battery life from 2 days ago with heavy YouTube usage. Rooted Oreo, no custom kernel, just greenify on a few apps. So much better than my Note 5, which topped out at 2hrs 50 minutes. Not to mention, this phone is way smoother and flies in terms of apps opening, really impressed with this phone.
Awesome.
Just found out that Facebook Messenger destroys battery life on Android..
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes. The Pixel XL is by far the best battery life phone I have had in a long time (the previous champ was my the Samsung Fascinate 3G from years ago.)
On 7.1.2...freaking amazing battery life. Then I got the 8.0 update and that had lower battery life. Less screen on time. Many users reported this. Buddy of mine also had noticed the same thing.
The Sept 8.0 update then came out and now its back to the awesome battery life it had before.
As an aside. Where can I get a good tutorial on how to set up Greenify's treatment of the various apps on my phone? By itself, it's not immediately obvious what I should be doing to the various apps.

Why would u even want to use Greenify and such apps now?...O is far superior to previous versions with its Doze mode and app suspend processes..
Battery life is average at best, Still to beat my Nexus 6 or S7 Edge on MM here im getting a day or less standby with a meh 5hr sot

I didn't realize Oreo is so superior. In fact, I get worse battery life than I did on Nougat.

It was worse ...the first 8.0 update. The latest updates fixed that for me and buddy of mine. I read there was an issue with Google play services app older version eating battery. that updated with the last ota and its been great. I have very few apps on my phone though. i do know that FB and especially FB messenger...and probably many other apps are not quite optimized for Oreo yet and will eat battery in the background and its not shown in the battery stats. U can go into the system app settings now and disable certain apps to run in the background like FB. u wont get notifications for that app but i don't care, i manually check those apps fine.
Battery pretty good. Several times I tried going 24hrs starting at 100%. Essentially get 10hrs screen time over 24hrs with 10% to 15% remaining.

Forget the 6p. We had amazing battery life before this update. Then sot dropped like a rock. Screen off.. amazing. After O screen on time was half. Literally half. Same synching, same everything. Half sot! How else can I say it?

SOT sucks. I have it back up to 6.25 hours, but it's still not up to Nougat standards. It's either the increased performance sucking CPU or the screen itself is using more. I don't buy the updated apps for Oreo theory.

I also agree Oreo has horrible battery life not close no nougat. I have tried every kernel i could get my hands on.
I wonder if they did this crap on purpose so people would buy the pixel 2

Some have said it was Play services but others say no. Some have said it's the display driver on O. Either way I hope they come out with a fix if this is not some dastardly scheme. Very disappointing. I never had to charge my phone during the day and now I do. I was going to buy a 2 but now I'm on hold with that until this is fixed.
Hello.
So i have had this issue for that past 6 months or so.
I bought my galaxy s8 upon release and the battery was great at the time. After some time of course i can expect the life to degrade. But it is horrible now.
I experimented with custom roms and stuff and it just got worse and worse and i tried a lot of different roms. My expected screen on time was 5 hours which is pretty normal.
After some time i only get like 3 hours a day and the standby drain was awful. Once a time i tried to go with stock rom and i got like 2 hours sot and a standby drain that was crazy. I use greenify to close apps in background.
My usage is normally messenger, facebook some times. Its mostly closed by greenify. I watch youtube browse the web and play simple games that doesnt need a lot of processing power to run.
Is it my battery thats very bad? I also experienced in the cold like 0 degrees celcious that my phone just died when it had like 25 percent.
Should i get battery replacement or whats the best option here? Currently running teamexykings lightrom for my galaxy s8 exynos
Same issue, I replaced the battery when fixing the cracked screen, didnt see any improvement even with the new battery
You can try if you want replacing the battery, but I believe its the software issue.
