[OP5] Battery life Thread

[dladz]

Haha ironically, I'm now getting crap batter life lol, one rogue app, doing a bit of bug testing for cash and it's had an impact on idle battery.

Definitely need a fresh reinstall at some point.

Need to break that 15 hour SOT.

What's the highest anyone's ever got ??

The OP should be updated with a leaderboard.. actually I might make one myself.

15 hrs on New kernel.

Yes my friend that is epic.

I need your battery depletion graph though signifying that you have only been going down in battery and not maintaining it.... Do you have it?

Also new kernel? Is that the name of it? What version ?

Fill this in

ROM:
Kernel:


What were you doing for all that time ? I'm sure people would love to know, I mean that is epic SOT times mate, truly..

Nops. It was 1 week back. And I forgot to take that graph screenshot. And no one on the New kernel thread reminded me. -.-

Ah that sucks..

I've made a new thread, leaderboard type thing..

You would have been top by miles..

Check the qualifying requirements..

2 main screen shots, everything in thread, I've had 14.30 hours, I switched my camera on for the last 15% and it tried to locate me, otherwise I'd have broken through 15 hours myself.

Gutted.

See if you can replicate then post your SOT there, all I want is to see what is possible via normal use.. reading mode with a keep screen alive app is not what I mean..

Check the rules

No additional battery saving apps.

The post above yours.

 

[7imeeh]

The post above yours.

No custom settings on kernel adiutor, interactive governor? No particular tips or something like that? Just new kernel and that's it?

You'll only get his SoT if you replicate his use of the phone. Forget about kernels and what not.

If you're getting 7h with your regular use there's NOTHING in the world that will make you get to 15h with that same usage.

Apps are the main drainer. Finding alternative apps that can do the same but are better designed/programmed can improve a lot.

Example: i use simple gallery instead of any other gallery app that has useless internet access like others from big companies

 

[tWoBrO]

Yes, agree, that's what I do too but you won't improve 8h of SoT. You just don't.

Like I said, it's down to your usage. You can tweak here a there, and you'll get a couple of hours if you really want to, but you not gonna double your SoT from 6-8h to 15h without really changing the way you use your phone. And who wants to do that?

If you have everything turned on all day and night while you're sleep (why?), play heavy games, social media, couple of messaging apps, GPS and what not, you won't get that kind of SoT.

I get 9h-11h of SoT, I'm happy with it. I don't have many apps installed, only the ones i really need, I use mostly wifi, I have xxx rom with this and that tweek, but i have used stock ROM for the most part and I get good battery life too.

I don't play games at all, I use location only with GPS apps, low brightness, no gestures, etc, but for the most part my SoT comes down to YouTube and other video apps. At least 6h of my SoT is wasted in YouTube videos, tv shows and movies (I do have a habit to listen to TV shows while cooking). All this in 48h. The rest is sms, calls, social media, streaming music with bluetooth in the car, etc.

Im super happy with it. My last phone I would get half of this when the phone was new and 1/4, if that, by the time I bought OP5.



Well, anyway, just flashed this "new kernel" an hour ago. I want to see what the fuss is about. Lol

Hi, please provide a bbs dump(idle not usage) either here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884 or in this thread. From the screenshots there's not a idle drain visible cause the display is on while draining

We will help you after a dump file, how to take one? Please read here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Thank you!

Dumps of a usage scenario are hard to compete if you don't have any references cause every app, light or dark display, white or black pixels have different impact on the drain, that's the point.

Your dump isn't correct. Please refer to the bbs thread. In the first post are instructions how to take one(your idle time is too low, only some minutes instead of 6h minimum.
