Heavy use endurance

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the OnePlus 3T's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

One thing I noticed about the phone is that the 6gb of free ram that is bragged is really more like 4.9 gb after a reboot and 4gb after about an hour even without using the phone and I can't seem to find any apps that are eating up the ram. can someone explain why this is the case? It doesn't seem to hinder the performance at all but I haven't tried a speed test so I'm not certain.

system and kernel will use ram too (possible caching), and most likely wont show up. thats normal.

Your phone ram is supposed to be used, its how android works, you will NEVER ever have phone with 0% of ram used and if it doesnt hinder the performance stop complaining about it

Wow complaining about having 4gb of FREE RAM.. Mine has a total of 3gb and you have more free then mine total. You will never use that much up and run out. If your at that much free ram out of a total 6gb then I'd say it's running great. Mine usually sits at half 1.5 or a little more free but having that much RAM you'll always be sitting at more then half free cause you'd have to be eating up more then 3gb to get to half and I've never seen a phone use more then 3gb even multi tasking. Your always going to use some, kernel, apps,etc so sitting at 4gb free is great

Under heavy daily usage I get almost a full day. Thats a lot for me. All day whatsapp, calls, spotify, bt headphones, fitbit with notifications, countless hours of facebook etc.

I'm not a heavy user. But normally (without gaming), starting from 9.30 am, I put it charging at 2 am (after a day combining 70 % under 4g+ and 30% wifi, all account I have with push sync but sure I'm also working so there's a period of 8-9 hours where I use it only to quick write some whatsapp or checking notifications but after work I usually watch anime or TV series saved from Netflix) and I reach always 4-4.30 hours of screen with 20-25% still remaining. I'm really satisfied, it's a very good smartphone. And if I miss some juice, well....dash charge is the candy

Until the op3t, i had Nexus 6p. This op3t has some good battery. I allways use 100% brightness, 3 emails, 4g combining with wifi, a lot of clash royale and clash clans, WhatsApp, some YouTube ir Spotify and allways 4h SOT or more. Im impressed

that's normal, imagine phones with 3gb of ram only having 900mb free after an hour of use with no apps open.

I have two Google accounts, Facebook (with Messenger) and WhatsApp, automatic Sync always on: the battery life is not so positive as I wish it would be given the "low" resolution of the display and other battery saving settings switched on! Google Play Services and Android System eat a lot of battery all the time!!!

 

[erico.albino]

i cant get more then 10hours in full charge. my average is removing from charge around 6:30AM and on 3PM, its my last 5% and back to the cord. how the hell you guys can have almost entire day!? this is insane for me.

 

[BongAlvi]

Im on my default settings out of the box with developer option doze mode enable, automatic backup is enable, autosync on, with fb mssenger, whatsapp, skype installed. My battery would last me around 16hrs of heavy usage w/ 7hrs SOT,,,, with casual use my battery would last 21hrs tops with 5hrs sot. Overnight drain of 9% in wifi and 6% in mobile data.

I tried gaming in full resolution in my oneplus 3T (my game is Mobius Final Fantasy) and I got over 6 hours game time before I hit below 10% battery. That's crazy.

Thats really just showing your idle time is really good - no drain in idle is good but depends really what SOT your getting when you start using it
