When I got my phone I use to get 6 hours screen time after a while went down to about 5 and a half aftre about 3 weeks of that 4 and a half now I'm averaging 4 hours screen time I don't know why this is happening I keep smart futures off air futures off other than quick glance and BT off NFC off etc ? Same settings as always brightness 50% unless I'm watching video where I set it full

Yeah that might be the problem try not to let it get so low i read somewhere that it's not good try no less than 20% i always charge mine at about 50% and the battery is as good as the first day i got it

Yup..Its not like the old Ni-cad batteries in which you need to completely discharge it before charging.It is not a good practice to do the same with Li-ion batteries.It may actually lead to worse battery life.It's recommended to charge the phone at 40% and charge it till 80%.

Im pretty sure you have a lot more apps than you did on day 1 of getting your phone that will use additional power sync
Also as stated do not let the battery completely drain as this may limit the capacity
I'm very impressed with the screen on time so far on this phone! I am getting on average 7+ hours of SOT which is so much better than any Android phone I have ever used. Anyone else having great battery life on this phone?

Wuuuuuut, 7hrs is astonishing
I also got couple days ago almost same. It was 6hours and still 28% battery left. WiFi & BT off, GPS at battery saver mode. Power consumption mode was performance and using LTE/4G. Lot of better than example Huawei P9.

ATM You can calculate from that what it would be @0% Its insane... And only using 4G, no WiFi at all.. Signals are 2-3 bars so not evem best signals, lol. I though Samsung Galaxy S7 had great battery but this is insane. Im using Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Chrome etc. All are battery eaters and still... Thanks Huawei!

I dont know either. Im really suprised. Havent ever seen phone with 3000mah battery and this great battery life. Dont know how much better is Li-Po battery than Li-Ion. Manufacters started using Li-Po's on this year after Q1/2. Ofcourse i think that newer battery type (Li-Po) would be also better but questions is how much better it is on paper?

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.
Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.
I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome
how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

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 Nokia 8's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Hehehe I can spot someone who cares for his battery just by looking at the graph ☺ avoiding a full charge puts less stress on the battery... I think the battery would be even happier spending the night at 50%

Definitely a pattern here. Battery very consistent with best SOT I've experienced. Nokia has nailed it in this respect from a relatively small battery

This was with Wi-Fi on, NFC on and double tap to wake and smart unlock (location) if that makes a difference.

Wow! Nine hours and it didn't drop a single percentage? What a quality doze
I suspect it was a one off, it would be nice if it did it all the time that's for sure.
Have had my phone 5 days - 4 nights.
1st night was 0% loss - but past 3 nights has been 3-4% overnight in Aeroplane mode.
So I guess some apps I installed since are doing something or trying to do something overnight.

My phone is fully stock and not tampered with in anyway.
Being in Airplane mode only turns off the radios, it doesn't stop the phone from doing things.

Spoke too soon. Saw another 0% drain last night...
Only difference I can think of is that earlier in the day I had disabled 'Push' on my corporate email client 'TouchDown' and set to never sync.
But the weird thing it that the push/sync was only ever scheduled for office hours. So, unless it has been doing something behind the scenes - it does not make sense that it was using 3-4% every night..Pretty sure it did not show up in the usage breakdown figures.
Will check again tonight.
I remember that my Z1Compact used to get away with 0-1% overnight and even my Z3C in the early days - until an Android version upgrade removed the Sony battery optimisation feature.
Update: Another night of 0% drain!
I got the phone on Saturday, and in two nights I'm losing 2-3% in 7-8 hours. I guess this shouldn't happen since my old Galaxy s5 on 7.1.1 had 0% drain. Also today at work battery drained 2-3% while doing nothing on the phone the whole day.
Anyone else with the similar problem?
Has anyone spotted that after Oreo update battery life improved? I managed to get two days out of it with Location/Data on all the time using maps almost all the time pretty impressive.
Hi! If you're only using mobile data (4G/LTE) for internet access the whole time, how much SOT are you having while doing some chats and Facebook?

yeah, but it's not normal.
Also, it can be 7-10% or 10-15%. Phone and kernel sucking battery, still haven't found the solution.
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 LG V60 ThinQ before depleting the battery.

Well nobody else has posted battery stats so I guess I will and I must say I'm nothing short of blown away with the battery life of this phone! 50/50 wifi and data. INCREDIBLE!

I have 5g disabled because it's very spotty in my area. This was 50/50 wifi and lte. I'm trying this still on the same charge. The phone was at 39 percent when I went to bed and it's at 39 percent now ...it laterally didn't drop at all overnight this battery is insane!
Here are my stats currently. Gonna take it down to about 5 to 10 percent and see what I get before I throw it on the charger.
Finished the 2nd day off charger with these stats. I'd say the last 39 percent was all lte and no wifi. Crazy good battery even on data!

that was with the single screen only. I ended up doing a factory reset out if desperation. I've installed some apps but left othersb out and do far it's vastly improved. I'll have to install a few apps at a time and see which one was doing it.

I used LG package disabler and greenify with non-root permissions granted by adb, and this phone loses less than 1% per hour with the screen off. I woke up at 4:30, took my phone off the charger... Then went back to sleep until 1pm. 98%. That's pretty good.
Includes dual screen usage (about 20%.) I do use auto brightness. Android 11. Heavy

Facebook or any other silent data miners will eat your battery. I forcibly disable it on every phone and device I have.
Look for anything with run at startup permissions. Those all eat your battery because 9 or if 10 times they are data mining your device.

After a week of real usage. Check the battery capacity estimate. It is just as amazing as it should be.
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.
my pixel updated yesterday.
i will check it today.
can you post your sot ?

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!
