You use LTE and play games... Then your SoT is normal. The 3h u get is typical for gaming and LTE. Cause these 2 factors drain battery at most. SOT that is here provided by others is purely SOT of WiFi and browsing(FB etc. ). So in your case there is no issue.
yeah....makes sense..thanks :)

2-3h of SOT. Idk what it is, but when I first got the phone i got like 4-5h, now its 2h. Maybe dual sim is affecting it.

Mine can vary wildy, especially if I'm on LTE. As little as 2 hours. But today on wifi most of the day, I think I'll push 5 hours.

Dual sim definitely doesn't help, and I've turned off a lot of syncing via Google. Such as; Chrome, Drive, Fit, Play Movies/Music, Google+, Keep. I've also turned off adaptive brightness. My brightness is down pretty much all the way apart from when I'm outside and it's absolutely fine.

I've also turned off Google Now and that has made a marked difference. Location is off all the time unless I'm using maps.

I think my next steps will be to root and then use greenify and gsam and hopefully I can start pushing 6 hours of SOT. I was unhappy with the phone when I first got it (couple of months ago), now it's proving to be great. I just wish the photos were a little bit sharper but I've come from a Note 4 and 6S Plus - so in some respects I've been a bit spoilt in terms of the photos I've taken.

7+ SOT now with CM13

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Just got 7+ hours SOT for the first time and I'm really happy since usually I would get just 4 to 4:30 hours. Got it with CM13 Nightlies Release, disable Google Now notifications and Chrome Notifications/Sync, installed Amplify and bang, first charge Cycle and got 7+, screenshots here, basically just browsing and video (Chrome, 9gag, YouTube, Whatsapp) on Wifi and about an hour on LTE/H+.

I like this thread, don't get me wrong, but:

It's very hard to get used to the thread and learn from the information. Most of the people coming here will likely be interested in "how to set things up to improve their battery".
The issue is, that information are spread among all the replies. Why not keep it simple by adding to every post your current configuration (ROM, version, kernel, doze-settings, Greenify, Amplify, PowerNap,...)? Those thinks have a huge impact on how thinks work out. Sure every phone is different depending on the setup, but at least the basic configuration can be posted to make thing easier to understand. Newbees on this topic usually don't own BBS or see any benefit of it or even know how to use it and interpret the measures. We all got used to it. But on the other hand, the main configuration stays the same or will be optimized step by step. Since all of us own the same device, we should definitely take care of those who are interested in joining the topic.

Battery life is great with custom kernels. Can get 5hrs of SOT easily with medium to heavy usage :)

Mind telling us what kernel you're using, (if Boeffla, what is your profile) and what ROM ur on?
Thanks

Boeffla kernel O_O

Can you post your profile here?

I am using CM 13 nightly and @Boeffla 5.2 beta 1 kernel and i don't know what to chose from those settings to improve my SoT.

Thanks.

3 to 3.5 hours. Eh, I'd be fine with it if this one had Dash charge. This is a constant pain in the neck because it overheats and burns bare skin at the top of the phone - especially when charging. Of course, I'm overclocked and lots of mods running. I can't complain. I'll be upgrading to the OP3 soon.
