Could you guys post your Screen on Time? I get average 6 to 7 hrs SOT on moderate usage.
Also would be helpful if you could share your battery saving tips

Previous day's I'm kinda disappointed with the battery life/SOT since I just get an average of 4-5 hrs. This time however, I can hit 6-7 hours. IDK what happened perhaps my charging habit? Or my habit of playing/using my note 9 while charging? Also I charge my phone overnight and I must say those did not hurt my battery but improved it. 2 hours SOT and I only lost 20%

I felt the same. Discharge was more during initial charging cycles then improved slowly. Now almost everytime i get 7 hrs. I felt the difference especially after the October update I'm seeing good battery life. :good::good:

even more screen time

Latest SOT (one UI beta)

I get around 16 Hours screen on time. My display is set to a Screen resolution of FHD+(2220x1080). I have a black theme and amoled black wallpaper. I game a lot (rise of the kings) and stream from Spotify regularly. My game performance setting is set to balanced and I went to... Settings>Device maintenance>battery and added apps that need to run in the Unmonitored catagory. Email Facebook Skype and so on. The rest I put into the always sleeping catagory. I have the snapdragon Canadian variant SM-N960W. Had it 5 months now and on a non gaming day I can push 20 hours. I don't watch videos tho, got a TV for that. I also disabled any unneeded apps and removed all bloatware. Hope I've given you some ideas.
Cheers!

Battery - up 'n running for

...4 hours of heavy usage (wifi connection and 3g on but idle)
Mid to periodical usage could reach 24h.
6th day of usage....
i think this is mediocre for me. please report your battery performance to compare.
Any tips to improve this?
I can get around 8-10 hours with heavy usage... constant music, etc.. and about 2-3 days with light-medium usage.

Hmm so i guess there is a problem with my device.
Great!, and how am i supposed to explain this to the service?
I get about 12 to 15 hours of heavy usage via web, text, and email. If i watch video it's less but I am pretty happy with the battery thus far.

I can only get around 7 hours of use.
I have a problem that if i even dont use it, the battery still drain. I got it full charged and theb unplug it. About 8 hours later, it went down to 50%.
Is there any problem with my device?

same here. i don't know how you guys are getting so much better battery life. i can barely last a day and i don't use it all that much. maybe 2-3 hrs of surfing the web over wifi (not even 3g). i even used setcpu to underclock to 200Mhz when screen is off.
Maybe it has something to do with the very first charge.
When i unboxed the battery was fully charged so i drained it and had it charged for 8 hours. maybe it needed to be charged prior first usage.

Is that 12-15 hours with the screen on? Because that's much more than I'm seeing.
I've done a few measurements just to get an idea of the battery life. They are just extrapolations based on a few hours of runtime for each so they are by no means exact, but my impression is that they give a decent view of real values nonetheless. The battery percentage indicator does not seem to be terribly non-linear.
Video playing (SD quality) with full brightness: 5.5 hours
Video playing (SD quality) with lowest brightness: 9.5 hours
Idle at homescreen with full brightness: 6 hours
Idle at homescreen with half brightness: 9 hours
Idle at homescreen with lowest brightness: 12 hours
Music playing in headphones (screen off): 90 hours
Can't believe how lazy reviewers seem to be, I haven't read a single one where they have properly measured battery life for things like playing movies or reading an ebook. It's all just subjective feelings (which are obviously very unreliable).
All in all I am pretty pleased with the battery life (but I've just had it for a few days). I especially like the fact that it's basically a normal Android phone just with a giant screen and battery. This obviously means that standby and music playing times are going to be excellent.
Edit: Those of you who think you're seeing bad battery life, what does the battery use thingy in settings say? Or is that not a good tool?
I read a post somewhere where the OP was getting horrible battery life and found out that the Gallery app was draining the battery.
The OP in that thread said even exiting the app did not kill it, and it kept draining the battery.
Perhaps you can look into this more. I never use the gallery app so maybe why this is why i get decent battery life?
Edit to add:
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826472&highlight=gallery
If it's this post you're referring to it's by me . The Gallery application shows up under battery use though, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Are you sure it's really as much as 12-15 hours with the screen always on? If it were 9-10 hours with brightness at half it would around what I'm seeing I guess, but 12-15 is quite a lot more. Not that I'm disappointed, but if better is possible better is what I want

No not 12-15 hours with the screen always on.... I get 12-15 total... Screen on for usage, off for a while, back on to email and SMS ect...
Ah ok, then there's no discrepancy .
I got 10 hours from full to complete off. I was using it to watch streaming movies on 3g
for a couple of hours and then watch a movie off of the sd card and an episode of supernatural.
After that its just web and ebook reading. Its pretty good. Almost the same as my ipad.
I got a total of around 14 hrs plus with wifi and edge on, screen brightness at 20%, around 7 hrs of standby while i was asleep at night, with 4 hrs of heavy surfing, youtube etc. . . No calls though, only some sms and always on IM with nimbuzz logged in.
What i am seeing is with heavy usage i.e. Multiple apps running, wifi and edge on, i get anywhere between 5-7 hrs of battery life which i think is fair enough for a device this size which am constantly fiddling with.

Using the supplied mains charger, how long does it take to fully re-charge a drained Galaxy Tab?
As it is a large battery what sort of charging times to expect?

I've not used mine for that long, but the Battery Left app(which I found to be quite accurate on my N1) shows that for MY usage, I'll get about 25hrs.
I've got the auto dim turned off, and brightness at max. I mainly use mine for checking emails, txting, and a few games.
Nothing heavy.
I'd recomend the Battery Left app to you guys looking to find out your battery life. You DO have to "train" it though, which requires a 100%-0% run for you.
Guys,
does.anyone know, do we need to cycle the battery to give it the best performance?
Example, charge up the unit, then drain it completely and recharge it again? Like in the old days.
mine hasnt gone down much. I have it unplugged at 6am and at 4pm i still have about 75-80% batt left.
This is with about approx. 2 hrs of talk and 30mins of data usage and voice calls paired to my BT headset. My screen brightness is set to 40%

I once got up to 20 hours of moderate usage. But with heavy usage I get about 12 hours or more. I lose about 7% when watching an episode using flash....kinda sucks but I watch a lot of anime online. But I use this as my main phone too. Its replaced my nexus completely. though it was nice with my nexus cuz I could swap batteries. This is how I condition my battery. I let it get to about 2-5% then I recharge it. I don't let it get to zero cuz I heard you can damage the cell. sometimes I charge it to about 20% then I unplug it and drain it to 5% then back up to full. I just kinda switch it up. At first I was getting horrible battery life but ever since I started conditioning it this way I get great results.

BATTERY LIFE: Screen On Time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Note5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I usually get around 3.5-4 hours of screen on time before the phone needs a power-up.
So today is one of my heavy usage days. This is how it goes pretty much. Wake up around 6 am get, get on my phone, check notifications, hop on a few social games, get on social media, watch videos from social media, check my favorite website, get on some games, check some more websites, battery gets a little low so I charge up, and while it's charging I get my day started.
That's heavy usage for me and thats what I did all day today so far. Here's some screenshots just prior to me writing this post, tell me what you think.
Now some might think it's bad, but I've been on my phone pretty much non stop.
i'm getting 30-40 min more than the S6 edge ussually 4 hours screen on time, auto brightness, mobile data, wifi, 3 gmail sync, Facebook and messenger...I probably wouldn't get this phone if it wasn't for the quick charge ability.
I am very happy with battery life. I don't game and I don't watch tons of YouTube and I'm connected to a WiFi network most of the day. But this is the best in terms of battery life of any phone i have ever had, including the one plus one. Typically get 8 to 10 hours screen on time but I've gotten as high as 12 before. Auto brightness, location disabled most of the time. Stock, 200+ apps disabled with package disabler pro.

Averaging 5-7 hours on a busy day, everything is turned on except for a few bloat apps which are disabled.
I dont understand how you use you phone for 12 hours in a day..Do you have a job? I will get up at 7am and talk maybe for an hour on my phone and have 3 hrs max screen on time before I end my day at 10 pm with 45% battery left..more or less.
I'm seeing about 7 hours SOT. Auto brightness, nothing disabled, syncs on.
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
Its impossible for 12h SOT.. can you share some screenshoot for sot 12h without charging from 100% until 1%.. i dont belive if no screen shoot..
My device is on battery for 4 hours 37 minutes 51 seconds since last charge.
SOT is 58 minutes 36 seconds.
My battery percentage is 74%.
Is this normal or bad ??
I purchased my phone for yesterday and charged it till full. I never charge for continuous 8 hours.
Is this normal or bad ? Shall i charge it for 8 hours ?
Typical days my battery only lasts about 12-13hours before its sub 10%. Some days it's better but typical office days are rather poor battery life from past android and iOS devices with similar use. Attached are my thumbnails. As you can see I am only getting 2 hours of screen on time. It def appears I have an issue with my Moto 360 using excessive battery and I am not sure why as most things are disabled on the watch and the watch battery is usually north of 75% when I goto bed.
Ever since I reset my phone back to factory resettings (rooting caused my phone to slow down), i've been experiencing some great battery life and smoothness(obviously)
6 hours SOT with 7% left. 1 day and 6+ hours of regular usage, nothing too heavy.
YRAJ23- Thats perfectly normal. It should come out to around 4 hours of SoT. You can charge the phone for 8 or more hours because it knows when to stop charging. You cannot overcharge any modern smartphone.
U should get at least 5hrs sot unless playing games and watching YouTube! Disable Samsung and Google bloats like Google+ and use Greenify app from Oasis Feng on play store to hibernate most of your downloaded apps which cause battery drain. Put your brightness in the 40-60% and if possible ideally in the 25% range indoors!
Ive been debating picking up a note 5 now that is avail in Canada in 64gb and silver but reading through this has me reconsidering.
I get better battery life from both my current devices and without being able to swap batteries 4 to 5hrs SOT is not ideal given my lifestyle/ work schedule

Fairly normal 2.5-3.5 hours on weekdays, bc school WiFi drains battery like ****. On weekends typically average 3.5 on 3G/LTE because reception where I live isn't exactly top notch. At home however, 5-6 hours is pretty much the norm, bc my home WiFi rocks.
I normally get 15-16 hours on battery with 4-5 hours of screen on time. i did a video playing a game and timing it. if you want to check it out here from the video you'll see depending on your settings i could get between 4-6 hours of onscreen time with goat sim running.

Exact same here, yet I see these people with 6, 7 even 8 hours of screen time on one charge. How? Are they sitting there with WiFi and the cell radio turned off, just watching clips and doing offline stuff? I just don't understand how they can manage to pull that many hours out of the battery. I struggle to break past 4 hours. But 8? Freaking double? I'm not buying it.

Battery doesn't drain that much, but I've only tested it for a day so far so I may update this in the future
Manage all apps automatically & smart display
5:48 @ 04% ~ 3.63 minutes to drain 1%
4:08 @ 18% ~ 3.02
2:19 @ 53% ~ 2.96
3:51 @ 29% ~ 3.25
4:29 @ 17% ~ 3.24
Same as above then towards the end of the day switched to 720p & auto manage apps off
5:11 @ 21% ~ 3.93
720p & auto manage apps off
7:14 @ 11% ~ 4.88
I think this is more because of the aggressive ram management when manage all apps is on, and what seems to be a bug with smart display. Restarting apps so many times must drain battery. I will try tomorrow at QHD+ and see the SOT
Also worth noting I do not game, I listen to a lot of music (most of the working day) and stream YouTube to and from work I have over 100 installed apps and 6 messaging apps which I switch to frequently. I have news apps that refresh every hour on data or mobile.
standby drain seems a lot over night about 2x the mah than the OnePlus 6 that I have
Barely need to look for a charger thru out the day
Amazing .
Is yours a Boe or LG screen?
QUOTE=Darkat70;78334851]Amazing .[/QUOTE]
Mine is a BOE screen, 18B02.
Pretty awesome to get that SOT, with 43% battery left. I used my GPS for 30 minutes, watched about 20 minutes of YouTube, 30 minutes of Slotomania game.
On standby I lose about 5% battery in 7 hours or so.
Agreed. I am absolutely loving the battery life on this thing, it insane how much heavy usage 1 Charge cycle can take.
I average around 7-8hours SOT, sometimes 9hours and that's with the screen set to 60% Brightness. Absolutely insane, and it just keeps chugging along.

SOT on LG panel. Truly amazing at more than 6 hours with 40% juice left.
How you get like 8h-9h sot? Usually i have 5.30
i have 3h... how is possible? xD
Hi I get about 6 hours ost is that good.? I have brightness on about 90% and WiFi on at all times I have seen ppl get 7-8 hours ost should I keep manage apps automatically on or turn it off any advice appreciated guys
This bad boy is killing all phones when it comes to battery life..
Here are my stats.
Today was a heavy use day so I only got just over a day of use. I usually get about 2 days before needing to charge. So either one day at 9h SoT or two days at 7h30 SoT, I guess it depends which apps I use too. I try to charge above 5% and stop at 95%.
WQHD+, auto manage apps on, dark theme everywhere I can, never have both wifi and 4G on at the same time and am in Airplane mode during the night to limit battery drain (very effective, I never lose more than 3-5%).
I do a lot of web browsing, a bit of gaming and YouTube, and Facebook/Messenger are probably running in the background and are used a lot.
I rarely have brightness above 50%, except for videos. I mostly stay between 15 and 50%.
System update .153
I noticed that my battery life isn't as good as it was with ly first mate 20 pro that was equipped with an LG display. Since i got my replacement using a BOE screen, battery drains faster. I still manage to get 6/7h of SOT so i'm not complaining but it was better before
BOE screen here, power save mode, 1080p forced resolution gives me 12+ hrs SOT.
Same settings on S7Edge got me 8 hrs...but then again, that battery is 3 years old, therefore around 82% capacity.
Happy camper so far.
The stats i gave were achieved with the exact same settings as i used with the LG equipped one. I used to have 1/2h more of SOT
Battery life is just too good and with the new update 152 makes it even better S

So 3rd day and these are my stats.
30% Wifi 70% LTE
Location when needed bluetooth off. AOD on pickup and new notifications only.
I am pretty consistently getting to 20% battery with 4 hours of screen time regardless of my usage. I'm mostly on wifi, probably 90% of the time.
I'm surprisingly getting an hour less than my pixel 2. It's around 5 hours.

The Pixel 3 has a 13% larger screen and 13% more pixels than the Pixel 2 with only an 8% bigger battery. Getting less battery life isn't a surprise at all.
What is a surprise is your claim that the Pixel 2 got 6 hours. With a 5" 1080p screen and only a 2700mAh battery I have a hard time believing anything more than about 4.5 hours.
Mix of Wi-Fi and walking around on LTE for a few hours outside
Its kinda bad. My brother cant get over 5 hours sot and the standby drain is really high. If he keeps it idle it drains alot.
I've had my Pixel 3 XL for roughly 7 days now and SOT have been consistent around 4:30 - 5:15 hrs going from 95 - 20 percent discharges before I recharge.
Not bad, but I have to admit that I was expecting something better like easily reaching 6+ hrs for normal usage.
My last hope is that boy "Adaptive Battery" if it would help after couple of weeks at learning curve.

Try turning off the Always ON display. It drains the battery a lot. Initially i was getting 5 hrs max on wifi. Now its a little stable and i am able to clock around 8hrs SOT with average use. On LTE, it will drop drastically to 5hrs maybe.

I've have pretty bad result being pretty much 95% on wifi with low app usage
I'm seeing mixed results with SoT on two separate Pixel 3s. On my SO's Pixel 3 its getting 8 hours while mine is only getting closer to 3-4 hrs and she is a heavier user than me usually. Seems to me that the information the adaptive battery has on usage matter a great deal on your battery life. I opted to start fresh on my Pixel 3 while she opted to transfer from an older Pixel.
Getting consistent 6-7 hours of SoT without ambient display, half WiFi, half data and some Bluetooth usage. Using amoled black or dark mode with many apps and an amoled themed wallpaper. This is at 90% brightness. Quite impressed.
getting 5/6h SOT
Screen brightness at about 75%, and nightmode at the end of the day.
Mix of WIFI/ LTE during day and Bluetooth in the car obviously.
So far impressed since the size of the battery is small compared to other devices.
My HTC u11+ was getting about 6h SOT with a much much larger battery capacity.
I'll be the first to admit I dont have much running in the background right now, but I'm still pleased. In case the links don't work -- 6 h 30 m screen on time. Phone charged 20 hours ago. (I'm not usually that heavy of a user, just wanted to see how it would fare in the real world. ) Mix of WiFi, LTE, bluetooth on about half the time.
How?
Use battery saving mode on time. I'm getting similar results. I accidently plugged in the charger at the last bit (thought I took the screenshot but I didn't) but you can see it only charged about 2%.
1 Hour of Screen on Time???
I just received my Pixel 3 3 days ago, and the battery is awful. 1 hour of Screen on time? Is this normal?
I was barely using any apps.

You're using ambient display, turn it off for a day which should resolve all your issues. Yes it means you'll have to wake up the phone in order to see whatever messages you may or may not have received. But it'll extend the battery time.

If you opted to start from scratch when you set up your Pixel 3 and did not transfer the data from a device that already has the adaptive battery feature getting about 1 hour of SoT seems to be normal based on my experience. I haven't been able to confirm this, but based on my experience the adaptive battery feature seems to use machine learning. It learns what apps you use over time and how often you use them. The more data it has, the better the battery life you will get. It took about 3 weeks for my battery to settle down. Currently, my battery is estimated to last about 17 hours from a full charge. My suspicion is that the Pixel 3 start out running everything you install and slowly learns how aggressive it should limit the battery usage of an app. Aside from leaving it on battery saver, I would also recommend not charging it overnight a couple of days and letting it sit there. That seems to have helped me with the battery life and my device knowing to limit apps I don't use frequently.

I'm a bit disappointed with the SoT figures I'm getting. I would've expected 5 hours a day with at least 25% battery life left. However I'm roughly getting 4 hours by the time the phone hits Stamina mode.

You should be definitely be getting more.
I usually get 6.5 to 8 hours SOT on my Xperia 1 II. So you should be definitely be getting more than that
This is very strange. I am getting 8-9 hours of screen on time within 1-2 day usage. Try to disable everything you don't use (all the Google data collection and other ****) and see if it helps.

Same.
My Poco F1 with LCD and bigger screen has a better screen on time.
Something is fishy here, I'm using DarkMode and a low background light.
Which Software you guys are using? Mine firmware is: 58.0.A.10.21
I think it has todo with the Vodafone branded software.

So it is not an old Firmware issues. There must be something hardware related issues.
Does your phone also get warm while using it?
When I browse through Google News (WiFi) it gets noticeable warm.
I am happy with my battery life - fully loaded 2 days ago, now at 28% after 6h30m Screen on time.
Mine get 7.5 hours. Pretty satisfy with this phone.
I'm getting about 6 hours sot from 90% to about 19%. Not as good as I expected.
Edit: above usage with 120hz setting. For mine, the SOT fluctuates. On one of the days, the SOT was only 4hrs. Trying to find out what's taking up the usage.
It would be helpful if you write if you use 60 or 120 hz.
Battery life on 5 II is very good, SOT, 7-8h, aprox.30+hour.. 120Hz

thats crazy screen time, how does your google play services say only used for 25mins?? for me today google play services has been used for 7hrs25mins so far and its only mid afternoon i have no idea why its always on...even though google play services only uses up around 4% battery each day for me it always says used for around 10hrs each day, any tips on how i can get mine down to a respectable 25mins like yours?
Sony phones has some miraclemagic in their batteries, very good results indeed. I tested last two cycles, first with 120hz and another one with 60hz.
120hz: 100-1%, 9h 30min SOT during 41h time period.
60hz: 100-1%< 11h 36min SOT during 48h time period.
Mostly on wifi at home, lot of videos, social media and web surfing.
Power consumption at idle state is the best. I have had 4 mornings in a row with the same battery percent that was last night. 0% consumption during night. Gotta love it.
Very good battery life, with 120Hz enabled.
Do you guys actually use the "Battery saving mode" function? You know that charging the battery to 100% and discharging to 1% slowly kills the battery lifespan? That's why Sony developed this technology, so why not use it? I have set mine to 80% and charge my phone every day so my battery never goes over 80% or below 20%...
