Does this mean the screen was on for 9 hours or only the device?

Weird.. I rolled back to Android 9 because of this.. Heard others have as well. Note 8t user

I'm on AOSP RROS-Q-8.6.7-20210308-ginkgo-Milestone for almost 2 days.
Did a clean flash and just got 5 SOT hours and 9 hours in total.
Btw, im using Sixteen kernel and the phone already goes on deepsleep. Any advice?

Alleged: Nearly 8 hours SOT fully stock

So check this post out:
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/35vp8k/how_is_this_even_possible/
TL;DR - this guy claims (and seems to have posted screenshots of) nearly 8 hours screen-on time, fully stock.

He says he's getting almost 8 hours of screen-on time at 40% brightness and he's completely stock -- and your response is "so what"?
I am not sure how it's possible, what the guy is claiming.

yup, so what? what does his battery life have to do with my life? nothing!
battery life is completely personal, depends how you use the device, what you install, your setup, and your signal quality.
As long as battery life isn't completely horrible, I can live with whatever I get. I have a 13,000 mah portable charger, a car charger, a charger at home, and one at work. Not worried.
I never got 4+ SOT with all kind of battery saving techniques.
Unfortunately it's really easy to fake this. Not saying he's been dishonest. I applaud his tweaking if it is legit

Why would you want to partialy disable and cripple a near perfect device for another hour of screenontime? Realy, ever heard of powerbanks

One Day Battery Test Results / 4 Hours SOT

Some people are interested in battery life.**I am running the unofficial multilanguage beta v5.9.9.**This is not the latest, but 5.9.11 have some issues, so I am happy to stay on v5.9.9 for a while as it is working fine 99% of the time for me.
Here is what happened over the past few days:
I barely used the phone for the first day, so it had a long standby time, over 24 hours.
Then the next day I started using the phone more so I could drain the battery.**I achieved screen on time of about 4 hours.
I am happy with this result.**

Sorry for a late reply but how do you get over 6 hours SoT?
I'm thinking about buying this phone and 4 hours of SoT isn't much
Which version do you use?
Maybe with this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/howto-limit-cpu-frequency-to-save-t3233745

I'm not sure about VOLTE since it's missing some bands. I do get LTE on bands 2 and 4, speeds are in the mid teens to low 20's DL. battery life is better than on the mate 20 Pro i had.
Here's my overall battery use.
I can't seem to upload it. Bad request?

Can anyone post some SOT pictures? I am curious about it as I want to get this phone but I want it to have at least around same battery life as my note 5 pro.
Are these values normal?

After a full long day of mix usage, inside and outside. I get these most of the time
This is mine.. I am sattisfied with this..
Any updates? How is SOT on MIUI11?
MiUI 10 SoT AVG, 8h (Waze, Games, browser, YouTube, etc, Auto brightness)
MiUI 11 SoT AVG, 6 to 6.5h same usage. Even after a hard reset.
I have great battery ? live with MIUI 11. About 9-10h SOT.
Per night I have lost 3% in 9 hours. ?
I got over 8hr SoT for 55% drain, mostly light task tho

Terrific battery life. I averaged 10+ SOT from my first charge. 90hz always on, QHD always on, brightness varied from Maximum to minimum depending on time of day, mixed usage of camera, youtube, app downloads etc. Very pleased with the battery life. Charging speeds are ridiculous too, 46mins from 0 -100. The battery will get even better as the AI learns the usage pattern. Just excellent

My experience has reflected yours almost exactly! I am thoroughly impressed with the battery life of this device. Battery anxiety is literally not a thing as even if you run low it charges so ridiculously fast that you are topped up before you know it, lol.
Got more than ten hours and have been on phone all day on social apps and YouTube watching videos. With Max resulution and 90 Hz refresh. Plus hotspoted some friends for about 3 hours while in use and I've only put on my power saving at 9%. Full charge at 1 pm today.

Got more than 10 hours of SOT with Max resolution and 90 Hz refresh. Last charge to 100 at 1 pm. Been on it nonstop and had hotspot on for a good three hours. This phone shocks me a lot. Been watching videos and on social media. So quite some heavy use. The king of battery.

This is really great!
Hey guys, got mine second hand (1 year old, still in warranty, perfect, like new condition with 95% battery health calculated by system) but I'm having a different experience. 4 to 5 hours SoT and I charge it daily. Maybe due to EMUI12?
