First of all, I can't thank you enough for patiently responding to all my whining here! thank you very much!
one last whining which I'm very concerned about, sometimes, even watching youtube doesn't get my mobile warmed up, but just scrolling through the images in the gallery makes it warm up! ambient was 31, was browsing through gallery, it raised to 34 and became warm to notice.[/QUOTE]

A trick i do to have more screen on time is to acutally use it more often with screen on. As i have tested, leaving my phone in idle still drains battery and so when i try to use it, it suddenly drains faster with the screen on. But if you constantly use your phone, more power will actually go to the screen being on and so you get a longer screen on time

Mine H870 model has got a really really bad battery life. I need to charge minimum 1 times in school with a fast charging power bank.
I disconnect the charger at morning (100%), and I'm sitting on the freaking 3-4th lesson, and my battery is at about 40-50%.
My average SoT is ~2,5 - 3hours on mobile data, on Wi-Fi a bit better. I tried with full stock ROM, and with FULMICS+ROOT+Full Greenify, and nothing extra...
I bought this phone at '17 July brand new.

Any ideas?

Try ForceDoze and DS Battery Saver. Both can be found on the play store. In DS Battery Saver you have the option to tune the CPU so that only one core is active during deep sleep. Keep in mind, if you do that, unlocking the phone out of deep sleep will take about two seconds or so. But you'll get good battery usage in return.

I'm using ForceDoze, Greenify full fersion, and battery saver, the idle drain is good I think, but when it comes the SoT, it's terrible maybe.

Disable any battery monitoring tool and use the Android build-in SoT viewer. That will improve the battery also
(why use something for what Android already provides? :p )
It's way more accurate to use an application to measure battery discharging rate during a whole week than a single day.
And this app doesn't drain my battery.

Was your battery life this good before oreo?What tips do you have to achieve this?
yes, in Nougat i can get more 30 to 45 minuts SoT, but nothing special im happy with this.

I do the same on my LG phones, because i only buy LG now so, its a "long list".

1st: Setting up everything at my taste and go to all menus in setting and see what i want and not.

2nd: Enable development settings and disable the animations of windows and etc.

3rd: disable Google Smartlock, Smartlock for Passwords.

4th: Go to apps list and select view system, and open one by one and disable "run in background" and disable "background data", just dont disable in apps you really want to keep in background like whatsapp and messenger etc, but do this in apps like playstore and play services.

5th: install TWRP and Root the phone, debloat the phone, delete all you can (search for some list here on G6 forum they exist and is easy to do).

6th: install Shortcut Manager and go to app explorer and find Hidden Menu, enter it and search "Fast dormacy" and disable it, go back and find "ThermalMitigation" and disable it, find "LBD" and unckeck the box see if they say disabled.

...and its pretty much what i have done to my phone to get it last like this.
