Screen on time

[vagelis74]

This is on my Mate 10 Pro and it has the best battery life I've experienced out of all the phones I have ever owned. The last two phones I had were the Nexus 6p and the OnePlus One.

Very good result, what's your theme;

It's called Pitch Black on the play store. Once installed you'll see two versions, I use the second one. Here is the link

This is what I got yesterday

I'm using 2 sims
Wifi only, no data
Gaming, YouTube, surfing the web, Facebook and Instagram etc

Display set to wqhd

I'll repeat the experiment with display set to FHD

Second day

Same settings except I switch to FHD

This is what I got.

Almost from 30 to 50 minutes increase in SOT

You are lucky then I never got even close to 7 hours not to mention 8 hours of SOT.

I see some abnormal SOT in all your posts with 7-8 someone is getting 9 hours. I cant get past 5 sometimes even 4 hours of SOT!!!?? Is it only my device or is there more?

I dont use 3G/4G data, I dont play games, I use my Mate for chatting calling (social media) and camera to take photos. Can you help me with this issue? What is your phone setup?

Don't let Instagram run in the background

I had the same issue, once I turned it off I got a better battery life

Your screenshots imply otherwise if the battery keeps getting drained like this you should get at least 6h sot.

It also depends on how much you use the phone. And how it is in standby. Social media apps eat a lot in the background. And not only that, if you use your phone all the time for short periods like your screenshots imply, your phone never enters sleep mode it always stays active and all apps keep draining the battery thats why no specific app shows up in settings... its simply the fact that the phone itself stays active all the time.

When i am hungover and i have to chill in bed all day with my phone i can watch netflix and use social media a lot and get like 8h sot in a period of 10h
When i use my phone normally during 2 days i have like 2,5h sot per day i only get around 5h sot too but in a period of 36-40h

yeah. SOT doesnt mean nothing without taking in account the way u use the phone.

 

[troublecro]

And brightness lvl too...

Hardly mate, very hard. Only once i got 6 plus hours. If I use for a long amount of time with screen on it drains even quicker. Only when i reboot It, It improves but only a bit, so it doesn't make that difference. When percentage drops to 50 It drains much faster.

thats strange. i am always surprised to see how good the battery holds up when i use it a lot. for me it mostly drains because i dont charge it for 1,5 days normal weekday i dont have more than 2.5h sot per day (i also have an ipad for media when i am home). i mean, who really stares at his phone 6 hours on a normal day? who has this much time lol, thats not normal. I am just happy, that i dont have to worry about the battery throughout the day. even at the weekend when i go out i simply charge it from 35 to 75% in 20 minutes while i shower.

for me that is what counts, reliability and peace of mind, knowing that i can juice up hella fast. just stop comparing numbers.

3500mAh (s8/9+ which has poor battery life) to 4000mAh is only 14,5% increase dont forget that, no wonders to be expected.

PS: maybe there is something wrong with the battery tho in this case u should get it checked...

I disabled health, and turned off some High speed LTE mode that was turned on in some advanced network settings (In my country there is not 4g even 3g is poor af) and made minor improve in battery life, still Instagram drains too much battery in standby and use. I think I could get 6h of SOT if I used it till 20%.

 

[troublecro]

Dude you're bound to 8h of SOT. Over 1/3 of battery left

Great

My son has a Mate 10 Pro, he is not able to find how to show screen on time, can somebody post exactly how to do this?

Go to settings then go to battery then go to battery usage then go to hardware to go to screen

Thanks very much from my son.
