Screen on time - HTC U11+ Real Life Review

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 HTC U11+ before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Battery life is great.
25 hours so far - 7 hours and counting screen on time
-- Browsing, news apps
-- Settings tweaks
-- WordsWF
-- YouTube
-- Wi-Fi on
-- Bluetooth on
-- Amazon Music
-- Auto brightness
(Full disclosure: 15 min./~5 % juice before I pulled the charger to do this test)

I get between 4 and 8 hours SOT, depending on usage. If I am a lot on the road, using LTE, then I get an SOT of around 4 hours (above it). If I am on WiFi, then it gets or exceeds 8 hours SOT. With a mixed usage I get around 5-6 hours.

I'm not getting as much sot as in was with the normal U11 having said that I've only had the device for 2days so see how it goes...

Remember to disable News Republic and disable background data for Facebook. This helps a lot and gives your device at least 1 hour SOT more.

Using 70% auto brightness, I get around 5 hours SOT over 24 hours on 4g/LTE nothing special

On Wi-Fi it is much better. Expect 7-8 hours SOT

With the battery size i was expecting similar results to the mate 10 and mate 10 pro but looks like its not the case

Standby time is terrible, have disable the always on display, wifi, removed news republic and more bloatware included by htc and in 8h lost around 15% battery.

Terrible? No not here. This battery is great. I have problems getting it empty. And I use my phone a lot. Aod is on by contact. Auto brightness, wifi on.

which OS version are you on? is it the Taiwan model?

Any other tips for battery life, I'm getting around 5h SOT that's with auto brightness off and brightness set to around 40% or lower, disabled background data for fb, insta etc..., Bluetooth scanning off, wifi on, disabled news republic and other bloatware.
Have to say I was expecting more so bit disappointed.

Oddly enough, my battery has improved by not disabling everything I do not use. I have uninstalled/disabled apps I do not use, but I have not touched background data or run in background settings at all.
On 4G battery could be better but on WI-FI I am satisfied. 1.5 days usage or 2 days days if its light usage. I did factory reset though and I still think the software can be optimised more.

I have fixed the drain problem, it was a sense theme, after cleaning the cache the problem was gone.

what exactly was the issue? which cache did you clean? just the app, or phone cache in recovery? how did the drain appear, under cell standby drain?

How do you know it was the theme. Please explain

After cleaning cache and data from home sense, my battery improved alot. Home sense was using around 29% (805mah), changed for Nova launcher and it was the same. The only thing common on both was a theme for navbar.

In developer options I have turned off always on mobile data as it appears to be an Oreo default. I've noticed a difference with that.

Debloated S8 battery life

How much battery you get when you debloat S8?
Manage open apps
Start up apps
Black Theme
Blackish Wallpaper
etc etc
basic advance user battery settings
I want to buy S8 but 2 things hold me back.
Drop it (with a good case) and brake the screen.
Battery life after debloating with all the advance user battery tweaks.
I usually charge my phone when it gets to about 40% but the few times I did get down to 15% I was around 6.5 hours to 7 hours SOT; that's with Bluetooth, GPS, quad HD, AOD on at all times. Sync, wifi is off.
This phone is fragile. I have a very protective case on it but no case will protect the phone if you're not cognizant with your phone. Don't drop it.

I charge my s8 when I gets to 20%, and I didn't use it when charging. usually my phone lasts more than 7 hours with some functions on. I think it works fine with me

No it's not. My S8 keeps up with my 3t. My note 4 had terrible battery life with 3 hours SoT. If you need more, you need another category of phones. All flagships get you between 5 and 8 hours of screen time. How long this is in total useage depends on you. I get two solid days out of my s8.
Much better after debloats.
In Idle (aod off): 3hrs/1%
Idle Aod on: 45min/1%
Facebook/web browseing: about 7min/1%
Screen on but not heavy load: 13min/1%
Easy to pass 8hrs or 9hrs (may be 10) Sot on daily use, this phone battery is really incredible
Ps: I used dual sim so phone radio drain battery little more than normal

Im sorry but 9-10 hours SOT is impossible unless you have samsung s8+ version. With regular this is impossible. 10% per hour with wifi on is almost impossible. How the hell did u managed that - i could get 7 hours maybe 8 tops with movie playback mostly with no internet connection and minimum brightness. and i dont have drains i already disabled thoes bloats

The true is I am on S8 version. I had the screen shot of 8hrs and 30min SOT and still 20% left. But because tried so much rom, my phone get soft brick, so I had to go back to stock and lost all the data. So you can easily imaging by take a look at the screen shot below

Still i just tested video movie. Wifi, bluettooth off - only cell reception 2 bars .
Brightness set on 20-25% , powersaving middle ON- it took 7-8 minutes for 1 % of battery. This means ONLY under sthoes conditions, screen on time would give 10-11 hours - meaning turn wifi on, brightness on little higher level u get 8 hours then. BUT if you start surfing the web and mixed use, u get 5-6 hours tops!!!!
If you looked under batterylife of thoes screenshots who had 8 hours or so - they didnt use phone much in browsing or video playback - they prolly just had screen on too test and brag about batterylife.!!! Unless they are lying about having regular s8 instead of s8+ wich does have little longer battery life then s8 , despite bigger screen
I debloated most stuff with Package DIsabler.
I get 5 hours SOT... Just as I did prior to debloating.
All things on, nothing important turned off (such as location)

All things I did is browsing mate, facebook. Plus 15mins of videos calling by Line everyday(and Line eat battery so badly ^^). So it is true, daily uses, wifi is always on, brightness is auto. I love AOD feature, this is why I tried so many Roms/kernel to make it longer

Thank you for posting XML- ill try it out in bk disable pro. How is your phone working with all of this disabled? any hickups? Did you checked all thoes disabled apps that are ok to disable, so it wont hurt system too maintain device?
Also after u disabled this, how much system ram u have available in background AFTER u close all aplications in multitab.
U said 5 hours SOT - i do get more then that when not using wifi much and more of video playback - i did notest also that if you disable a lotmof bloatware, dosent improved battery life much.
But Dkido guy above, i guess you did managed too get this cause of you using DIFFERENT ROM. maybe this is the case here?!

Yah, it will a little more time to consider all. Maybe in next morning I will write more. But as fast review I findout a little bit. For example you want to disable Samsung location, you should disable 4 package:
+ app/slocation
+ priv-app/radiolocationservice
+ priv-app/radiolocationmanager
+ priv-app/samsunglocationsdk (sorry if i dont remember exactly the name)

Pretty much the same as with my Huawei P9, it lasts a day, maybe a day and a half. And on average the screen on time is about 4 hours... Wifi is on when I'm home, and mobile data is on when i'm out. Screen brightness always on auto.

About the same here. Battery life is decent, not great.
5-6 hours SoT here
I get an average of 4hours. Cpu is more power hungry than a snaodragon 835 with a 3000mah battery having the same usage pattern.
4 hours screen on time with 5% left on the end of a day
LTE always on, wi-fi always on, nfc always on
battery not great but phone should last to the end of a day. hope huawei is now adding better batteries than it did in nexus 6p where batteries were destroyed after a one year of usage.
Weird. I'm getting a regular 6 hours SOT. Turn off auto brightness, i watched a review saying it consumes a lot of power.

Yeah, I kind of expected better SOT, but I can get by with the around 4h I currently get. Wouldn't mind having 6h, though. I'll switch auto brightness OFF and see how that affects things.
Between 7-8 hours sot plus about 2 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth with screen off for me with over 2 days usage. One of the best phones I ever had. Bluetooth on and connected to Garmin. WiFi and data always on. Automatic screen brightness activated. Few settings adjustments in order to increase sot but nothing really aggressive. I'm on B120 C782 model.

Google play store turned off automatic updates. I just check every few days if updates are available. Turned off remotely find my device under Google settings/ security. This causing a lot off wakelocks. This is completely useless option. In the case of device being stolen, bypass frp lock and flash new software is so easy just now so I think it's really pointless to keep it on. Google chrome/ data saver on. ....and under developers options all animations, windows transitions are off. Theme changed for theme from mate 10 Porsche edition. IThat's it. The rest is completely stock. Facebook and messenger apps installed. .... I don't play any games if that's makes any difference.
I get just around 5 or 6 SOT. I was hoping for more. It was the first discharge from 100%. Do you guys think is gonna improve or should I give it a factory reset?
By the way. I managed to get up to 47C cpu temp while playing games
5hrs SOT on avg. have had it for less than a week so going to monitor some more before I conclude on its efficiency.
Can anyone Pls report about screen on time? The device got updates, is it possible to get an average time of about 5-6 hours? Some reviews says the battery is bad, some say the battery is excellence...
Thanks and regards
Nobody any experience about average screen one time?
3-6h SOT on stock b164, rooted, depending on usage.
I get about 4 hours sot. Was hoping for more...im a little bit disappointed. Should I do a factory reset after updating to newest firmware 164? I'm not sure if since updating to 164 battery life has been getting more worse.

March update had significantly improved battery life

Guys how is the update treating you? I really am enjoying this update and i can see about 30-45 mins improvement in battery life. Would love to know your thoughts!
hi.

i will check it today.

Hi sorry i didn't take it but i am getting around 6h 45mins+ and i only used to get 5h 45mins before on the same usage pattern.
Also before i was using dark mode all the time and now i am using scheduled dark mode. So i believe i can squeeze in 15-20 mins more if i use dark mode only. This is great. I think they updated the pixel 4 first as users reported improvement in battery life in Jan or Feb.
My battery is at 90% health, so that is really gre8 seeing it boosted by an hour.

Indeed man. I am losing 1 percent overnight (7 hours deep sleep).
nothing change for me.
losing 3-4 % night (8 hour)
I think battery has worsened, but the animations are much much smoother. Especially the home gesture animation
When I say worsened, it went from 6h to 5.5h. Still a beast.
I always lose 7% over 7-9 hours, the wifi draining problems persist
Im getting anywhere between 6 to 8 hours sot. Depending what usage I've put the device through. But I do think dark mode really helps a lot on this device.
I agree. Look at that straight line last night overnight! That's beautiful!

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus Nord's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
nord 12gb
my nord 12gb variant drops around 25% at night during my sleep. very irritating 1st time i am using a mobile around 30000 thousand and feeling very disappointment choosing one+ Nord. company advertise battery for the whole day , but in actual battery sucks and i have to recharge my device 2 times . **** One+
Same issue. Overnight it drops between 18% and 23% depending on my sleepcycle. I blame the Do Not Disturb mode, Doze mode or something is just plain wrong with my apparatus.
No auch problems here, I'm losing between 3 and 4 percent in 8 hours over night which is totally ok for me.
I don't have that problem, the battery lasts a day and a half, with normal use, bt for smartwach always connected, bt by car, 2-3 hours of online radio, surfing the internet, whatsapp, calls
And at night I do not have a consumption beyond 3-4%, it seems normal to me.
Do you use original charger and cable?
Yes, used original charger and adapter.
How much SoT do you have?
8Gb or 12Gb version?
My SoT is now 3h15 and I al on 11%...
Normal usage, wifi and mobile data on. BT only when needed, no GPS, no intensive graphical games,...
Mine ist dropping max 2-3% overnight. I think that's okay. But more than 10% is weird, maybe some Apps or Services waking Up the Phone alot? Im running Stock oos no root and newest version

With a Lot gaming 4-5.
Without gaming (my max sot) 8h 1min with 11% left(Bluetooth speaker all day, mostly using Chrome and Instagram , some Video editing too) (some more Details and Screenshots Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-nord/review/screen-time-t4127271/post83700021)

At the Moment i am at 95% with 40min sot
Thank for the reply. I noticed the Camera app was eating half of my battery, I disabled Face Unlock but still went from 29% to 11¨% overnight and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. I wiped the cache such as suggested on the Oneplus forum and did a full charge. We'll see tonight how that goes.

That seems to do it. 3 days, 1,5h talk time, 4h40 SoT, etc... and 6% left.
Now I noticed WiFi (5Ghz) drops connecting on longer standby times, that didn't happen before.

Ok, got it. It's a setting to disconnect Wi-Fi during long standby times.
Settings - Battery - Battery optimalization - Advanced Optimalization (3 dots top right corner) - Sleep standby-optimalization
All of a sudden my WhatsApp eats 21% of the total power consumption, anybody is experiencing the same? Didn't change the optimization settings for any app. for the first month since I had this phone everything was at around 1-2%. Now Whatsapp is using way more power and didn't see any news that this affects all models
Same issue here on my brand new Nord. Plane mode and battery saver enabled and still ~20% battery drain over the night

Yep, cache clear did not work for me at all. I uninstalled some crappy apps like FB and YT Music as well as many others ported from my older device. That plus the lastest Always On Edge updates helped a lot. I went from 20% to 8-10% standy drain. Whatsapp still consumes a lot more than any other app, even if i don't use it
3 month of use : I've noticed that battery is draining a lot (lot)!when I let auto rotate & bluetooth activated. I think I will fix it with some Tasker profile so I will not miss to disable it anymore.

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 Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
10+ hours SoT (12 or so full battery) on 60hz mostly browsing chrome, average brightness. I don't do 120hz, period, only reason I'd use it is if a phone didn't have any lower option. I think 120hz looks weird so there's no reason for me personally to waste the battery for it.
Not sure how 120hz would work out
Edit: now getting 12-14 hours SoT 100-0 after having the phone for over a week

Hi there. May I ask how you are getting 10+ hours of SoT? Were there some settings you adjusted to achieve such phenomenal SoT? I'm losing a lot of battery even when I don't use it.
I use 60Hz refresh rate as well, browse chrome, and low brightness as well. Heck, I don't have any social media apps refreshing in the background, only mail and messaging apps occasionally giving me notifications.
Thanks.

Well I use 60hz and battery saver is on pretty much all the time. (don't use ultra battery saver though, it basically just breaks your phone and messes up settings)
Don't turn the brightness up higher than you need it. Use wifi whenever possible. Turn location/Bluetooth off when not in use.
Not sure of anything else that helps.

Thanks for the tips.
I used to have battery saver on, but it seems like it bogs down notifications, or maybe it was because I didn't set permissions for every app. I have discussed this in another thread, but anyway, I should use power saver again now that I have all the permissions and data settings out of the way.
Brightness is always as low as possible. I work in an office or at home, and with the virus still hanging around, I haven't been outside for recreation using the camera/GPS, etc.
At least I know you didn't have to work something complicated out. Thanks again.
Wait, your SoT is in one day, right?

Yeah I recharge it once a day. I use my phone a LOT. Idle drain when I sleep is very low. 2-3% overnight

Oh ok. I'm a bit different because I use my phone maybe about three hours tops everyday.
Interesting because I observed my phone for the past two nights and it's been draining about 6% overnight, around 6 hours sleep time. This is the biggest battery I've ever had on a phone, so losing 6% makes me wonder if I haven't set something up correctly.

It might just be the different apps we use. Different apps will use more power during different use scenarios, 6% overnight isn't TOO bad but it could be lower. Do you have the option on that turns off power draining features when it detects you're asleep? It's somewhere deep in battery saver settings.

Yeah, different apps for sure. I don't use anything like Instagram/Snapchat, or whatever people use nowadays. My Mate 10 Pro I've upgraded from stays at the same battery level overnight as when it was taken off the charger when new. Two/three years down the line with some battery degradation, it only drains 2-3% every night, so that's why I was so confused.
I think I know what you're talking about. The sleep detection feature doesn't make a difference. The only difference it has is it doesn't refresh notifications while draining the same amount of battery. I think I might need to dig into the settings a bit more or just take it. The drain isn't all that bad, but may take some time to get used to. I should probably try and do a factory reset or something.
Have you disabled and uninstalled all of the unnecessary junk apps using that Xiaomi adb tool?
I'm using Mi 10 Ultra @ 120Hz and getting 7 hrs SoT + 12 hrs Standby and left with 1%. 6hrs SoT + 10:51 Standby @ 20% left. Heavy use of Facebook and Messenger. Light use of Chrome, Youtube, etc. Google Photos backup turned on. Overnight drain is usually around 5% for me.
Active
5 hrs 41 mins
Standby
4 hrs 12 mins
With 18% left
Does this look any good?
I'm not blown away by the battery life but I guess it's better than what my s20 or even the note 20 ultra was
60 hz vs 120 hz.
Only WiFi, auto brightness, social media apps, few pictures.
Generally it's a decent battery for 120 hz, csn make a hole day without worries.
Battery saver seems to give me an extra 20-30% SoT without noticeably impacting my experience beyond the fact that it disables Gmail sync. 8-10 hours without it, 10-14 with.
Do you guys debloat stuff?
i have no luck with Xiaomi and always have poor battery.
Greenify helps. I don't need to charge every day as my phone turns off at midnight and on at 7am.
It's two batteries not one and they are coated in graphene so I expect longevity!
Early signs are good but when this is rooted with lspeed and Greenify it'll be superb.
Greenify does sleep system apps without root though

I've come from a Mi9 which when rooted with a custom kernel and ROM lasted a couple days of moderate use.
Xiaomi bloat is annoying but the hardware is brilliant. You really should explore unlocking that true potential if you don't...
They're not really coated in graphene, they use a graphene electrode. The benefits of graphene electrodes aren't super clear beyond the fact that they're 1000x more conductive than the typical electrode material used in lithium ion batteries. That means less heat when charging and discharging but it's hard to say what else. Supposedly 800+ cycles for minor capacity degradation to set in, instead of the 300-500 for typical batteries, but that's a claim made by xiaomi not necessarily one that's been scientifically proven on this battery or other phones yet. I'm sure it's better than normal batteries but how much better and in what ways isn't clear yet.

So what's your next step?
My battery life has gotten much worse lately and I'm not sure why exactly. Down to 6-7 hours SoT from 10+ easily before. It happened around the same time I installed accubattery, but I uninstalled it a few hours later so I doubt it's that unless it somehow changed a system setting.
