If only Power Saving Mode let you choose whether to disable or enable auto-sync. Is there any way to somehow enable Power Saving Mode (to limit CPU to 70%) without disabling sync? I can't miss notifications but want to save some battery.
Running in anything lower than the optimized power setting really screws the N10+ up. More of an emergency measure than a normal operating state.
With a good battery you should be getting 10+ hours SOT if optimized... and days of standby time.

I get 5-6 hours MAX of SOT and 6 is pushing it. AccuBattery has my health at like 93% so the battery isn't bad by any means. I regularly let the phone put unused apps to sleep and I never game.
I really just want to find ways to squeeze the most life out of battery without crippling my ability to get notifications as they arrive.
Something not right. Even with a degraded battery needing replacement I get a lot more than that.

3440 mAh is 80% of the battery's original capacity and the end of its useful service life.

AccuBattery's estimate for mine seems a bit worse than yours, but 10 hours of SOT isn't something I've ever been able to get. My estimated capacity is 3,908 (94%) of 4,170 mAh.

That's not bad. It needs to be optimized more if you want to increase the SOT.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services when not needed. It's needed for Gmail, Google backup Transport and Playstore but not much more. I always have Playstore disabled as it's a troublemaker. Any cloud apps running in the background are also skewing the battery life.
I use manual brightness control; excessive brightness wastes battery and pixels. I use dark mode and themes to conserve display, battery and eyes. Also use Package Disabler to disable about 70 apks I don't use.

I'M using Oxygen 0.2.2 Beta Rom. Yesterday I recalibrate my battery, closed unnecessary programs, turn off wifi, 3g, gps and bluetooth. Morning I checked battery level and shocked battery leves was about %75. I checked if there any memory leaked program but I couldn't find something like that.
Display used battery percantage dramatically high?
What is the problem? Screen was turned off naturally.
'My Battery Kills Me' - sounds like the title of a cheap horror film - LOL
How long is 'overnight'? 8, 10 hours?
25% in that time sounds quite reasonable to me.
@cr1960 25% over 8 hr with wifi and 3g off is not normal and if you experience this i would check what is causing your drain.
@yapay Install current widget, place it on one of the home screens and set it up to wright to the log every 5 min. Then turn your phone in to flight mode overnight and the next day check the log, if you have more than 1 mA usage regularly during the night there is something using to much power. Install a monitoring app from the market and let it run during the night to find out what.
If it's mostly around 1 mA than your problem probably is gone after another charge.
Screen is very high for only 1.5h ish. Looks looks like you have high brightness settings and a lot of white/blue images being displayed.

There is a misunderstood. I checked battery status after woke up and that was 60% display usage. After that I used phone during breakfast and later my battery was 18%.
Something is wrong...
I got massive battery drain done by display, no matter what rom using. Brightness set to minimum, no animations at all. And its really killing my nervs. Most biggest battery drain (drop-down) is from 100% - 85%, within an hour! (SLCD model)
EDIT: flashed other radio few days ago, recalibrate battery, nothing helps..
EDIT2: CPU is downclocked to 768 mhz max.

Like on every electronic device (with screens) the display is the most power-hungry component.
So the readings are OK - I have an AMOLED display and mine is always around 65-75%.
Battery life is excellent.
And BTW, it is not a huge battery drain, but only shows what ate most of your juice - and of course the display eats it most of the time.
I saw battery stats readings with only 15-20% battery usage... so i though this may be something wrong.
Yes, those were on Froyo ROMs, but were not accurate - in all 2.3 based ROMs (even official) the stats for the display are bigger.

Or were the results of people barely using their phones sharing misinformation. Whomever has anything else on top of their list other than display, is barely using his device. Eod

Do you think that display does not consume any power? Rethink!
If you keep the screen ON continuously then it consumes the battery a lot. Does not matter if it is AMOLED or SLCD. Keep the brightness low and timeouts short to get better battery life.
Screen consumes the most of power on a phone. In addition to mobile/WiFi Internet connection (during heavy traffic) and video encoding (camera), decoding (playing videos).
Watching films on a phone in a bright environment over a mobile connection would be a killer if you want to try
Phone calls drain the battery much less than screen. Same about listening musing while screen is switched off.
While we have VOOC and (some of us) a spare battery lying around, we could all use more battery life when we're away from a wall outlet. So..
Post your battery stats/power consumption details along with any steps you took to achieve it.

Enjoy all.
Here's my battery results after a full day's use.
Stock Oppo Color OS
Stock Kernel
Google Now OFF
Low Manual Brightness
Bluetooth On
GPS On
Keylights Always OFF
Vibrate on Touch OFF
Greenify: NONE
Snapdragon Battery Guru: LEARNING
[There is a very small part where the battery charged while attached to a computer due to syncing over a few songs. I only seem to recall that battery going up by 1% at this time]
Anyone have any suggestions?
After installing snapdragon battery Guru i mentioned verry low speaker audio during phone Calls. uninstalling fixed the behavior.
anyone else.
?
Sent from my X9006 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That was with about 3 hours of gps on and using Google maps and a route planner for my deliveries today. I don't know if that's good as I've yet to use it like this before.
I have all off screen and on screen gestures turned off except the 3 fingers for screen shot. Auto brightness and wifi was off today as well.
The other day I let my phone idle for 9ish hours while I slept and I lost 4%, that was also putting the cell data to edge though.
I also use the greenify app, not the built in greenify. Haven't messed with the built in greenify does it work the same way?
Tapped out on my beastly OPPO Find 7a
This has got to be a bug...
Unplugged, drove to work and noticed no drain on the monitor.
The phone was trickle charged by my router though overnight, not through the OEM charger
I disabled the gestures, that helped a lot.

Sorry folks, but there is already a thread for this here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2750001
Hello,
I have my Nexus 5x since 2016 and I change the battery 3 months ago. Despite this, all days I have to charge the phone before the end of the day. In settings, I see that the screen is use approximatively 2 hours before shutting down. So that's not enough ! Do you have an idea about this issue ? I repeat that my battery is a new one...

It does not have to be battery related, it could be a software or hardware issue as well.
It is possible that some app keeps the phone awake.
One possible solution to that is to use an app ( I use GSam Battery Monitor Pro) to find out what is draining the battery.
If that does not give a clear answer then you could factory reset the phone and see if that improves the situation.
If that also doesn't help then you could have a hardware issue. It happens on some phones, I have a (spare) Nexus 5X here that also drains the battery while sitting idle.
I just use it for experiments and keep it on the charger all day
what SoT were u getting when u first changed the battery?
considering normal SoT time for n5x is around 3-4 hours, plus (im guessing) cheaper 3rd party battery, these numbers wouldnt surprise me.
also, we know nothing about what apps you have installed or what android you're using.
Hello,
I installed a new 2700 mAh battery like the original. I don't us many apps just have social medias, web browsing and youtube... I confirm : today shutting down at 5 PM, less than 2 hours of SoT

I'm not sure if it's specific to lineage os, but if you scroll down on the battery settings page, it may show the battery use % for each app at the bottom. If that's there, try using your device as normal for a day, then check that when it gets down to 5% or so and see what's eating all your battery.
How many use this option? If so, is it worth stretching battery life to decrease the time between charging?
Really its the first time i saw it.
I left it off.
I use all my phones the same and havent seen any battery problems.
So i dont see why this one should be different
I turned it on for a day, but this isn't the biggest battery on the market, so I'm leaving it off.
I use it. Prior to this being baked into One UI, I got into the habit of charging my devices to 80% and it grew on me. It's a tip I got from the Accubatery app. It's a simple way to add less wear to your battery.
Oddly, my phone fresh out the box with only 5 charging cycles from 15/20% to 80% has an 88% battery health score. My Fold2 which I had since launch has a 96% battery health score...
There is no consensus as to whether to use this option?

It's all dependent upon how you use the phone. Turning it on will absolutely be better for your phone, but you will lose that 15% battery life. Your charging habits also matter. If you're a person that just always puts it on a charger when not using it, you would see more improvement from turning it on than someone that only puts it on the charger when it's low. The benefits are minimal. It shouldn't largely matter, but if you keep the same phone for many years it will help improve its life.
It's early days with the device so battery performance is still an unknown for a while longer, but I enabled the battery protect option from the start. As of yesterday I'm able to get 5 hours of SOT with the maximum charge at 85%. That performance holds up over time and I'll end up leaving the option enabled.

It is a very useful function. I think maybe I'll introduce the Note20 Ultra as well. What version does the Samsung Device Care application have for you?It's me 12.3.00.30.

I use the protection when I'm home, 5 days a week. I just place the phone on a wireless charger when not in use during the day.
When I'm going out, I'll turn it off to get the full 100%.
Frankly I love the option to do this. I used to use an app that notified me at 90%. Now I don't need to bother. My only gripe is that I can't easily set a toggle for the setting. I'm planning on finding the setting name with adb and using tasker to create a toggle, preferably on a weekday frequency
I turn it on because I usually charge overnight. Leaving phone trickle charging at 85% is less detrimental to battery compared to 100%
i use it, still got 5hrs sot
Got a doubt. Does the Battery Protection Mode works when the phone is charged in switch off state ? By switch off I mean completely switched off not just locking the screen of the phone.
