Hi guys post your battery usage here in this thread to compare and see how this device battery endurance is :good:
Not much SOT 2 hours still but I base battery life off of background things since that's how I use my phone the most. Pandora for an hour took some pictures at the pool watched some YouTube videos light web/Facebook browsing. I love the battery life on this phone.
Theres already a battery life thread on the real life review section..

Too each is their own. Coming from the Galaxy S7 to the V20 now the G6, the G6 hands down has the better battery life
Took some photos, browsed web, played a game for around 30mins, if not more, at 50% brightness, otherwise i have it on auto brightness. I usually get around 5 or 6 hrs of SOT so i think the battery life is pretty damn great.
Sot is the worst measurement for battery. I wish people would stop thinking it's the end all be all.. A lot of people use their phones listening to music or having navigation going with the screen off. A lot of things can be used with the screen off that will drain your battery. If the damn phone lasts as long as you need it to while doing the things you do, thats all that matters.

True, true.
That's exactly why there's such a huge difference of SOT between me and StonerSteve420., who uses a lot of background tasks .

True, but sommetimes we can have 2 people with almost same usage but phone A doesnt last as much as phone B, it can help the user to check if he have a wakelock or app keeping his phone awake...you know what i mean
Bad standby, due to the continuous switching of networks but far better than G5 here.

S7 should have gotten you around 6 hours SOT, the G6 with careful management should give you 6 to 7.

That's fair enough a statement but most people who measure SOT still use background stuff.
On my S8+ I get 8 hours SOT over 2 days, using Deezer, Netflix, Calls, whatsapp, facebook, camera. The G6 gets me up to 7 SOT. So it's still a valid measurement.

Battery life is an extremely wide topic. For example, I use greenify with exposed support, I uninstall unnecessary system apps, I control devices wakelocks regularly etc etc.. As I said so many things to do.

I agree, i heard that greenify can be effectively used once your device is rooted. So i see that u have rooted your device and hence you can able to uninstall system apps. I am in warranty period and i don't want to void my warranty . So any other solution would help ??
Hi everyone. Since a lot of us are using this ROM I thought it would be a good idea to compare battery life. Mine is quite bad right now and want to know if others are having better luck.
Can you please post
1. Gsam main screen
2. Gsam app usage
3. Android battery usage chart
Please use XDA attachments if you can so that the screenshots don't take up the whole page.
Here is mine, right now I struggle to get about 2.5 Hour SOT and phone barely lasts all day when it heats up it drops 20% sometimes in 15 mins of gaming
Mine was very bad before xposed modules. Now with amplify and greenify it last 4-5hrs with screen ON (watching videos, music or videogames) and the whole day if just use for chatting, some videos and mail.
Sorry, I don't use that app but will download it and post tomorrow my pictures.

No, default in amplify and some apps with constant updates like Facebook, Twitter,etc. In greenify.
You also need to consider screen brightness, I set mine near to 40%
I don't think I have a good battery life but a "normal" one... I feel good because without this xposed modules my phone battery was drained in 2hrs of SOT.

Good stats but you only have 6 hours of IDLE. I can easily get 4 hour SOT with 6 hours IDLE also. I am talking full day use. This phone battery is terrible in my opinion! This reviewer seems to have similar findings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amdaWd7oMCc
Agree, I tried several ROM's with various settings. This phone’s battery is a disappointment.
When using any Radio, especially 4G, draining is being substantially accelerated.
How do you get to 4 hours SOT?
My best effort so far with CM12.1. Still can't cross 3 hour SOT. Good idle time though, lasted for 24+ hours but turned WIFI off at night when I was sleeping.
My battery life isn't getting much better.
Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Xiaomi Mi A1'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!
Well i don't really play candy crush, but i do like playing games over ppsspp, along with some critical ops, into the dead 2, etc. And I'm almost always using facebook or instagram or chrome. Even today, I've been continuously gaming. I'm at 28% and SOT is over 7 hours.
Even when I'm not continuously playing games, i still get a full day with heavy use.

Since people are not satisfied if they don't see proof, here two screenshots.
Regards ?
I have been easily getting 6-7 hours of SOT with heavy usage and 8 hours of SOT with moderate usage. can easily go for two days with low usage. the endurance is absolutely fantastic. that too for measly 3080mah. screenshot:

Certainly. Btw, the November patch improved battery life. Day before yesterday i had 9h of sot with 25% still left. But yeah, use wasn't that heavy but still above moderate. I usually play critical ops and some ppsspp games.

I don't play games, just lots of web surfing and other app usage, and I usually have 4-5 hrs SOT while using about 50% battery. This is with the Nov update. LTE data always enabled.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos and surf a lot. Everyday 9-10hrs screen on time (that is if I wait till battery depletes to 0). Battery life is phenomenal.
I can't reach more than 4 hours... maybe you guys only use it for reading ebooks? XD
battery life depends on screen brightness also.
there are many things which can effect battery life like,
no. of apps installed, screen brightness, wifi scanning always available ON/OFF etc.
i have one A1 (rose gold) which is used by my wife, is made in india. and she is getting good battery backup.
i am going to recieve mine (black) on this sunday, will compare both after that and post here.
(comparing both will be a good idea as rose gold is made in india and black should be made in china)

In my experience ppsspp games are quite demanding so it´s great to hear that A1 handles it well. I am going to pick it up for christmas so I am very excited.

Been using the Mi A2 (4gb/64gb) for 2 days now. 70% will give you about 4 hours+ screen on time. So i'm expecting to last comfortably till 5 hours. Battery drain is good, slept for 10 hours and lost 6%, screen did not turn on anytime during that period.

For the above screenshots, I fully charge it in the evening a day before. I bought the device 3 days ago. Can only measure the battery life after finished setting up to my likings. I think the battery will be better after few full cycles. Today is my 2nd full cycle to test after fully charge it last night.
Add:
4+ hrs SOT on 50% battery usage
I fully charged the device last night. I'm on 35% right now with 2:30 Screen on Time.
I have no idea how you guys manage 5h+

I have gps always on, and mobile data but it alternates with my home wifi.
I really do not get it. Before i have a redmi note 3 and a redmi 5 plus and i never broke the 4.5 h mark. It's only because of the GPS and data?

How is your cellular reception? Do you usually have good signal? Bad signal can cause a lot of battery drain
well, this has always been a problem, I even changed carriers this year.
it sucks that in oreo you can't see the reception signal chart anymore

There is a battery thread in P6 Pro section, but we don't have an equivalent here, so...
How's your battery on regular Pixel 6? Can't post any data from my side, as it's still being dispatched....
with my normal phone usage I am ending up with about 30-40% at the end of the day. With my Pixel 5a I still got about 60% juice. I cannot complain. I've seen wild differences on youtube from others (both good and terrible).
My battery life seems to be just fine.
Mine seems fine, it's been idle more than anything and it'll probably be that way since I try not to use it too much. When I'm at work I can't really use my phone anyway, so I expect battery life to be strong.
I also have a battery app that monitors usage and health of the battery if anyone is interested.

Yes I am. I only charged it once to 100 even though I know that's not good, but for first time I think it's ok.
I'm not sure i have enough stats to show since I've only used the app once to charge, but happy to share whatever info you need. Just let me know which screen to grab and I'll post.
comparison. Over 8 hours is pretty good.
I guess I can't complain.
Im getting about 9 hours of SOT. Using accubattery and this is while using youtube TV along with bluetooth (not using battery saver at all). The battery life is great on the pixel 6 pro and its a bit better than my s21 ultra.
proof
I'm guessing my stats are good? Idk where it got 4 sessions over the last 4 days from, but I installed the app yesterday and had it charged at 100% around 3PM. From then on I would use it randomly, mainly using chat through IM apps. I haven't done anything super battery heavy yet. I'm at 8% as I sit and write this...
Dayum. That's some iphone 13 pro max stats there lol.
It all depends on the connectivity, e.g. @android_dan is using 5G which is battery hungry, and also network reception is really low here.
I have huge drain from mobile network standby. View attachment received_785539938832034.webp
I tried many different things and seems that the problem is with esim card.

Even on 5G I have no complaints about battery life. I'm getting up at 4:30 am and going to bed at 10:30 pm with 20-30% battery. We've had some weather delays so I've been on the phone a lot throughout the day. No complaints here.
So I am using my P6 for 3 days and battery life is amazing when screen is on (I can get like 12 hour of sot if I would spend all day looking at my phone), but idle usage is pretty high for me - getting like 3-4% per hour while screen off on LTE, 2g disabled, AoD disabled.
Is anyone experiencing the same? Or maybe I still need to wait for Adaptive Battery's magic?

I get 5% drop over night while I'm sleeping and connected to wifi. All apps closed in the background. I don't think that's too bad in my case. Definitely let things "settle" after the first few days of use. I've seen lots of improvement in battery after having the phone for a week.
I tend to get thru a whole day no problem! I turned network preferences to LTE cuz my area doesn't have great 5g and I don't find it slow at all. And I'm on wifi most of the time anyway. At the end of the day I have somewhere between 7-9 hours SOT which is amazing! I watch lots of YouTube videos and listen to music throughout the day. Hope this helps!
for me, the battery is a tragedy, it drops in my eyes, I was able to get a maximum of 4h sot. On average, I have 2.5 to 3.5 hours of sot. I have a recommended 4G network set. I use 2 sim.

They're actively looking into the battery drain issue, and some folks have had success with doing a factory reset.
Google Issue Tracker
issuetracker.google.com
I was able to find out what was causing my phone to be active and never enter a deep sleep, which has improved the battery drain I was having. I'm still not sure why mobile network standby fluctuates on me; sometimes it'll be as low as 3% and others in the 20 when I'm not doing anything different at home.
