Same here. I've been using stock BTU for like 2 months now. But battery life recently has been terrible. I can barely get 3hr SOT. Hopefully Oreo update that we maybe will get this year is going to fix that. Or even a Nougat update would be nice. As long as it fixes battery life..
Latest Oreo for N8 Exynos is currently CRB7 btw.

If you're struggling to get 3 hours SOT it's most likely a rogue app rather than firmware-related.

I haven't installed any apps on it. I just use it to browse web and for alarm. It also gets pretty hot.
Edit: but it only happens on BRA8. Before it was okay. I should probably flash odin version of BRA8 and that would probably help.

I just noticed that after the update that the animation scale in dev ops had changed to 1x from the 0.5 I had it set at, haven't noticed anything else as that note 8 isn't my daily driver but will be interesting to see if it happens to this one as well

Got it after manually updating, wonder how much more the 8.0 update will be delayed!

Purenexus 7.0 with Franco kernel battery life

Here is a couple pictures of my phone right now after unplugging it at 100% 5 hours ago or so. Have been on the same WiFi the whole time and same brightness. Bluetooth has been on but not actually paired to anything. Have been playing games, Facebook, Messenger, and browsing the web. What do you guys think? Good battery life? Average? Should I be getting more with what I'm doing and since I've been on WiFi the whole time? I've only had a Nexus 6P for about 2 weeks now so trying to figure out if it's good or bad. Traded a used Moto X Pure for this device.
Last picture:
Average. Nougat battery life sucks and I'm tired of it.
About to go back to a MM ROM man.

I'm still thinking about it. But then again, MM is now an outdated version of Android. Missing security patches amongst other things. I really need battery life though.

Yeah I agree with that. Don't wanna miss the security patches for sure. I guess we can just hope it gets better? What ROM you running?

I stayed on MM and threw Android N-ify on it. Don't see much of a difference between the official build. I got all the pixel stuff on here and get 5+hrs sot on the daily.

I downgraded to MM today (phone came with N, I've only had it for a week).
I found Slim6 is fairly up to date, weekly build came out last week. Its on the Oct. security patch which is not far out of date.
I'm running it with the last Flash kernel for MM.
Still to early to make a call on battery life... But performance has been great and no bugs at all.

New Android 7.1.1 Battery life

HEY guys please post your battery stats and let me know the comparison from 7.0 --> 7.1.1 update did you guys see an improvement and how much. It was pretty evident that it was bad on 7.0 except a rare few cases of some people increasing in battery life.... well whatever post your screenshots please!!!
i notice battery was drainning fast after update.. so i did hard reset tru recovery and wipe data cache . now its seems back to normal. ill post sot later .. using stock 7.1.1. non rooted.
Could be placebo but standby time seems to be taking an improvement over the DP2. But of course, just had the 1st full battery charge will wait it out to post the outcome.
I'm on 7.1.1 Dp2.. Stock and rooted..
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
Can those who post add whether it was a clean or dirty update?

Not bad for a nougat update but I was hoping to see 5 hours sot.....if nougat can't get 5 at all at this point I believe it can't I'll clean flash the new update and if that doesn't work I think I'll downgrade to mm to get the once great 5hrs sot I used to get im getting like 4hrs as well on cortex Rom 7.1.1
First day on 7.1.1 and I am pretty disappointed. Have been getting around 4.5 hours SOT on average on 7.0. I am stock rooted with ex kernel. At times today battery was draining fast when on even with basic interaction. This is a dirty flash through FF.
Will try another day or so before doing a clean flash.
Was getting 4 and half hours of SoT on dev preview 2 but got reduced to 4 hours with the final release and somehow Google Play Services is taking up way too much battery. I dirty flashed stable 7.1.1 over dp2
I am on Stock+ custom ROM and kernel is elemental X.
My stats are attached.

Nokia 6.1 plus monthly updates

This thread has been created in Jan 2019 for monitoring monthly updates (i.e. security updates and many more) on Nokia 6.1 plus global Android one version...
Anyone is welcome to post here about his device's updates....
This is the January 2019 update
The Jan 2019 Update has nothing but the Security Patch.
It weighs in at around 65 MB.
New update of February security patch arrived

I admit It's lot slower than other ones but don't think inconsistent...
It always wakes itself up whenever I touch it, never failed to do even with a little touch.

With this update Google news is included in system pre-installed apps
The new march build has fixed the truncated text on the notification panel when you have selected the small text option.
Will update posts with more findings.
Update - Phone is way more snappier now and the battery drain has been comparitively lower than the feb patch.
Update 2 - Some People say the bootloader unlock(Enable OEM unlocking)option is now available for them. I still have it greyed out
Update 3 - Wow. Yesterday night after playing PUBG for sometime, I had 24% battery left. I left the phone as it was and came today morning to see only 1% battery drain?
This latest update has definitely improved the battery and made the more snappy and responsive. Also, The phone does not heat as much when charging.
Still no update. Any help?

Its actually much better for me now. Yesterday i had to travel for 4 hours and i left the phone a 28% when the trip started and when i reached, i had 27%.
Try clearing your cache data.
Is there any improvement in the inbuilt camera app after march update bcoz i couldn't see any, still it is the same crappy app, and please suggest a google camera app link which works the best.
Still no update in Spain (TA-1103). It's weird because all previous SP and MR have arrived via OTA when they were deployed.
Is there any other way to force update? I tried with VPN trick but it was unsuccessfully :crying:

This is my battery percentage and corresponding screen-on time under normal usage which includes basic tasks like using WhatsApp, browsing chrome and listening to Spotify.
Before the March update, my battery percentage used to be around 75%-78% after this musch of screen-on time, after the update I'm seeing a significant difference.
I can't be the only one and what exactly i can do to solve this?
Nothing in italy i try with change vpn... Nothing

New Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 - Should I update?

I just received a new Galaxy Tab S6. WiFi only version. (SM-T860NZALXAR)
It has Android 9, and One UI version 1.5 on it.
Should I update it or not?
Do they take away any features with the update that I may want?

What features are you after or you think will go missing once you update your Tab S6 ? i manually updated it and i'm loving it! it's really smooth and fast! Only nag i think i got a real slight battery drain or maybe it's learning my usage patterns then it will settle down as i flashed it with Odin i flashed Home-CSC as that keeps data intact..
I'll give it a week or 2 if the battery drain dont improve i'll do a factory reset but please note i'm talking about 2/3% battery loss over 6 hour standby before i was only losing 1% ove the same period!

I've updated and I see no reason not to. As far as I can tell, nothing's broken, everything works fine.
I just remember when my Note 9 updated from Android 8 to 9, and took away my automatic call recording. Which should not be an issue with this device. I just get nervous about the updates now.

Question What do you think about MIUI 13 battery life?

Just upgraded to newest MIUI 13. I factory reset my device for the new OS update. I'm in doubt if battery is better or worse.
What is your experience?
Mine is 30% better
I have not noticed any difference after upgrading to MIUI 13, it seems to be the same.
Everything is better on miui 13 except dark mode for individual apps (not working). You?
Are there any bugs in miui 13?

There is no bug-free software - except the single liners like "Hello world"
But I'm questioning myself about TWRP, Magisk, Magisk modules under MIUI 13/A12

Haven't really seen any big battery improvements, except that it's true, it lasts a LITTLE bit longer.
I'm using a mi 11 ultra and since i updated it to MIUI 13 battery life went from average to terrible. I now barely reach 5h of SOT... I reset the phone and tried many things but nothing worked. I wish I had stayed under MIUI 12.5

I'm sure by flashing the MIUI 12.5 rom that you can find on xiaomi's website or with xiaomi.eu ROMs, you should be able to rehave that battery life. But, you should also install betterbatterystats, to see which process use that much battery. 5h of SOT is pretty low.
I don't want to go to through the hassle of downgrading.. I shouldn't have to do that to have the battery life i used to have... Xiaomi doesn't know how to handle updates properly. Thank you though
I found ultra battery saver mode to be very bad. It used to have 350 hours and now it's 55 hours. Rest all seems to be okay.

From the first few days of testing, I'd say it's worse, and quite noticeable. I get around 4 SoT, usually it was around 5-6 with 90hz... I did a fresh install on a factory reseted phone Tho it might be the fact that neither the miui backup nor Google backup saved any of my settings, so might be few weeks till I get my phone into it's operating window...
But then again, phone seems a lot faster to me, and cold as ice.
When will MIUI 13 come for Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G? Any Idea?
I got OTA notif ten days ago (but I don't want to update,)
You can find another thread and posts (search, read thread titles for 5g ne) where other users already received and updated
After all, if you don't receive in your country (who knows Xiaomi policies about updating), you can find the MIUI 13 firmware on Xiaomi Firmware Updater site, and by googling instructions how to install manually

No, I just did a classic OTA update.
At 80% (I usually don't go more than that on a regular day), I got a battery estimation around 20 hours.
most of the time, SOT 4 hours, facebook, whatsapp, messenger, twitter
