i have bought my GN last week, once i have got the phone, i immediately update it to KK1 (2.3.6, Hongkong version) via OTA.
i have read many posts on XDA that you guys with 2.3.6 are happy with the battery life, however, it is not the case on me.
as you can see, i have used for 5 hours after unplugging from full-charge, the battery drains from 100% to 65%, during this 5 hours, i had 10min phone call, took 2-3 pictures using build in camera, about 10 whatsapp messages
do you guys think it is reasonable?
what should i do to fix it?
Try flashing SheepRom. Battery life is good for me.

These third party ROMs all seem to have one issue or another based on what I've read in the threads. Better to just root it and remove apps and tweak yourself.
I haven't had any trouble with Sheep Rom. I think the problem with some kernels is that the phone is not entering deep sleep. You could try installing setcpu and forcing it to 200Mhz while the screen is off.

Completely agree. Wish I never screwed mine up with Odin. Wish I could get back to my stock ron and just root, but my stock ron can't be found. I'm on the Hong Kong non modified ron now and am as close to being happy as I can get without selling and really buying.
I had problems with the sheep rom not showing apps in the market that worked and showed fine on the stock rom. Yeah yeah yeah, I know there was probably a fix but I'm not willing to spend all my time fixing silly **** that wouldn't be a problem.

I had the same problem with the market this morning, I uninstalled the market updates and the apps would install again.
You should install a official rom and silly **** like that wont happen. BTW my battery sucked on that sheep rom!
Can we be done with the rom battle now?

Haha yeah, I'm just trying to help the OP. I do have a backup of the stock rom, so I might take your advice and install.

I recommend starting with installing betterbatterystats to monitor wakelocks. That has identified my android os problems.
thanks guys for your suggestions on roms
i would prefer keep using the stock rom
will try to install betterbatterystats to monitor wakelocks, i will post the result after 1 day usage for our further investigation
Stock
I'm running stock for now, no root, and battery is pretty good. After installing juice defender ultimate, it's actually better than my GS2 battery.
rooted and using titanium to freeze a lot of the junk apps originally installed. Currently at 21 and 33 minutes with about 75% left. I never turn off wifi and have sync going all day. Browsing and a few voice calls. Not bad IMO

I would appreciate if you could you give us a list of those junk apps.
bunch to list (which I will do later) but go into running services. there should be a ton of crap (assuming your on stock) you can freeze. These are mostly stuff I would never use
Charged to 100% and left overnight...the drain was about 2% per hour...anyone can explain to me why..??...screenshots attached..
2% with wifi on is normal i think. just you off wifi then it will go < 1% /hr
You can use phone weaver to auto manage wifi. It will switch off at specific time and will switch on autometicaly at predefine time.
I manage to switch off data connection + wifi at 2am to 9am. and by bettery drain just 4% during this 7 hrs.

Hmm...but what about Android OS battery usage..its always high..??
wat is wrong with this, it showing you how much battery drained by OS. if your phone is workng then smthing shud use it na?
if your use is <1 %/hr, and that use, is with android OS mostly. it means not other than OS draining your battery.
Look to total battery draining/hr, and smthing (like ne service/application) over consuming battery, thn you have to worry for that..
And while using betterbatterystats...i saw in kernel wakelocks that vbus_present and deleted_wake_locks were on for a considerable amount of time...
Do they cause high android os use and drain battery..??

You will mainly get three different answers.
People on stock: It sucks
People on XtreStoLite: It's insane
Some lucky people on stock (rooted etc): It's just fine.
I need root on 511 without tripping Knox and xposed, so greenify and amplify can work properly then battery life will be good. Atm it's okay is.

Thanks, so over all, do you recommend that phone?
Do think that with normal use like watching videos, texting, social media - I'll be in the evening with decent amount of battery?
Sure, battery life will probably improve because atm the device is still awake too much

Depends if you want to trip knox or not.
Stock: 2-5 hours SOT (Depending on brightness, features and apps and if you're on mobile data or wifi.
Stock, rooted: Will increase your mobile data SOT by a few hours by following some of the guides that explains how to disable services and such.
XtreStoLite rom: At least 4-5 hours SOT on mobile data (my screen brightness is on auto and when i'm on mobile data i'm probably outside, so the brightness is medium to high.) and up to 8 hours+ SOT on wifi (with low brightness of course). XtreStoLite makes this phone having some of the best battery life there is available on the market right now.

Beside battery, there is some cons i should be worried about? (Also beside SD card, Im asking more about other things, like interface, is there lags, Is it heats up a lot or not?)

On stock, some people complains about lag. I never witnessed it tho. On XtreStoLite rom there is no lag at all. The rom is debloated. No heat under normal (sometimes heavy use).
It got memory management bug, so you can only have 3-4 apps in the background before it begins closing it. There is (again) a fix for that on XtreStoLite, but will probably get fixed in a month or two (when their new phone arrives).
But really, I never had problems with the memory bug. It's if you open a page in chrome, open 4 other apps and then Chrome again, the page just refresh. On 4g connection you barely notice it.
Good discussion. However, needs to continue on the pre-existing thread for that purpose.Battery Life Discussion Here
Since the last update my battery became literally two times bigger.
As you can see in the attachements, I have exactly 12 hours of SOT.
I have been all day on WhatsApp,in an Android group and 30 minutes added of calling ( not hd ).
What's your sot on the newest update ?
What settings? Official ROM? Kernel? What app Disable? Root?
June security patch?
Yes just stock ROM stock everything. I have disabled every app that I don't use .
do u use fb, messenger, email? and which rom i.e csc do u have?

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...

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+

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.

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.

You are running stock I take it.

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 have been using this device for a while now. I'm getting 9-10 hour screen on time with social networking, browsing, listening music, watching videos and youtube stuff, without any kind of gaming. As I am not a gamer myself.
I am a heavy user and i feel like i still need extra like 2/3 hour of sot to the end the day... is there any tips/ tricks or way to get atleast 13-14 hour screen on time on this device?
Additional details -
- Miui version 10.3.6.0
- i have dual sim (4g, 3g)
- i dont use any extra app. Just some basic apps.

Buy a external battery.
14hrs of SOT? You're asking for a miracle.
Even by enabling constant battery saving mode and choosing prefered channel to 2G, you will get about 10-11hrs AT BEST.
Your current battery time is quite amazing really I doubt you would find much better anywhere.
install custom roms, like xiaomi.eu or bootleggers as those last longer than stock. flash energy saving modules like sysconfig. install naptime app. these might give u an hour more or 2.
