how is battery life in Android Pie ?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] artlost:
The European update has only come today, so it's a bit hard to say already ;)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] uygar2580:
Barely get 4 hours, 3.5 hours in general. RR rom loaded. Times almost same with stock room too. Does widgets or alarm apps eats life so much ? My phone around 2 years old and battery health around %82 or 2450mah.

Curently it's only avaiable on venom hub for u11, will make thread at some point.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Ah i undersrand, but to be honest it didnt really make a noticable difference, even tho its 2 days of usage, try stock settings and with this mod, with the exact same usage and post your stats here next time, this comparaison may be useful for others too ;)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ivicask:
Ofcourse it makes difference, didn't see a single person to have 2 days online with 4 and half hour screen on, this mod was already proven on HTC 10 to make huge difference, specially because of turning off big cores during screen off which gives more standby time.

Alao this is just first version, phone is so incredible fast that I can get even more battery out of it with this mod in future.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Is it normal for HTC phones to show such a high usage by Cell Standby? I'm used to Pixel and Samsung battery stats and never seen Cell up so high. Right now on the U11, it's at 39% - 1100mah after 31 hours since charged....and being on WiFi for 90% of the time. Just seems weird.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ivicask:
Your looking at it wrong way. That's just shown for standby drain, which means phone is optimized very well and apps don't drain much battery during standby, so cell is top battery usage.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
I know what you mean, but 1100mah (about a third of the battery) drained in 1.5 days seems high. My bugreports from the Pixel and S7 Edge show 90-200mah drained by Cell Standby after ~20 hours. Unless those 2 just obfuscate the drain elsewhere. Just an observation.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Promising battery life. Should have been 3500mah battery for sure
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryosx:
We'd be able to peak 9 hours casually :D (at least for those of us who use this phone non stop)

Sitting on 2 hours and 52 minutes of SoT at 75% battery left. Been using Plex for most of that time. Lots of video time possible.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jbb3393:
This is normal usage for me
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] liggerz87:
I'll get better ones
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
That is better than what i thought would have been possible on this device. I can't imagine how it would have been with a battery size of 3500mah. It would have been the device to have for sure.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] fix-this!:
so far pretty decent for only a 3000mah. we shall see how it does after awhile.

You guys must not use a lot of social media apps. I'm coming from a HTC One A9 which gave me 3.5-4 hrs when the battery was healthy (only 2100mah) , but it's incredible that a phone can get 6hrs of SOT, it honestly sounds nuts. Hopefully the OnePlus 5 (which is supposed to have 4000mah) can pull off 6+ hours too. Thanks for sharing your data though guys. Much obliged.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] KejPi:
I'm quite disappointed by battery life. I am switching from OnePlus 3T where it was much better and I could easily use the phone for 2 days on single charge. HTC is on the edge. I am also used to switch to flight mode during the night and U11 loses about 5% of battery while it was about 1-2% on OnePlus. Battery life is my biggest concern so far.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
I was also expecting more compared to my 10.

At the moment i have 25% left with 2d 15h on time (much unused) and only 3,5h sot.

It is fine and better as the 10 but not the big surprise.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] x_d_n:
No screenshots, just a quick post...

I got 7 hours SOT today and still have 20% of battery left. Just a casual test in "easy" conditions (stable wifi and low brightness all the time) where I used facebook, chrome, whatsapp, slack and installed and updated a few apps (which is extremely quick with this phone). Tons better than any of my previous phones.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryosx:
Yeah, phone seems to drain more in standby for some reason
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryosx:
3 hours 15 mins SoT, at 69%. Power saver mode. Used chrome and Facebook messenger.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] andybg40:
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but battery life takes a big hit while roaming. Spent 4 days in Germany (i'm UK based), lucky to get 3 hours SOT in a day, when home it's double that. No 4g either for the whole time, just HSDPA, which was painful.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] avatar_ro:
probably you were connected on a ****ty network while in roaming... happens to me also quite often.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryosx:
I'm actually getting good battery life but standby does drain more than it should, like 5% overnight.

do you guys know what the htc internal battery optimization (the companion pops up and proposes to optimize certain apps) does?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] WillzVG:
Baytery drain very fast for me (u11 6gb 128rom)

No ss

61% with sot 1 hour 50 minute

How long you charge for first time?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
I was finally able to test the true battery life last night (I get a horrible signal from work, and extra battery drain is imminent).

I drive Uber, and I decided to see how far I could go without charging it. Apparently, I made it back home with energy to spare.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
See, told you the issue was the signal ;)

4h30 SOT with half of the day spent at a lake with HORRIBLE signal (between low and none). Quite happy actually, my old phone would get not even 2hrs at the lake (Nexus 5X).

Can you guys install Accubattery and report your ESTIMATED capacity after a few charges? Mine says 2,800 mah... pretty disappointing for a brand new phone.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
That app was last updated October 17, 2016. Is it still accurate? Not saying that the app doesn't work....but these phones are much newer than that. Have you also tried the app with your older devices?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ppaasseeii:
Yes, It detected the design capacity instantly. My friend used it with a new Pixel and the estimated was equal to the design capacity.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
I wished i could get your values.

Usually i'm around 4 hours SOT, maybe more.

Right now i have 78% left and 47m SOT.

Nothing special, bluetooth on, at work 4G and at home wifi. Just a little surfing, chatting and so on.

Not saying i feel it is bad, but not much better than the 10 for me. Just expected more from all the great results :(
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ppaasseeii:
I agree. On airplane mode, I lose like 3% overnight, it was 0% with Nexus 5X.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] pumah350:
This thing just goes...using the headphones also barely uses the battery.

Wifis on, BT on (connected all day to my Suunto Traverse), location on, I don't use the screen too bright either about 50 is fine for me.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] x_d_n:
Personal SoT record (in ideal conditions): 10 hours

Wifi only, low/mid brightness, vibration disabled on the keyboard but enabled elsewhere

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] godofpornings:
Just put it on charge at 9%

Great battery life. One of the best for me.

Is it healthy to charge the phone at 1%? Or start charging before that.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] sercos72:
For healthy battery start charging before 15%.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel2744:
HTC U11 great battery life

So here is my HTC U11 screenshots. normally i don't do these cause I stopped worrying about how much SoT maybe cause I spent 4 months with an iPhone 7 Plus but anyways these days I dont root or mod anymore. My U11 is as stock can be. I keep my screen at 50% brightness. I find this is good for me. I know others might disagree. I spend at least 9 hrs a day on LTE at work and then WiFi/LTE at home. I got just over 7 hrs of SoT which is just insane for me. Honestly for me anything over 4hrs is good enough cause alot of the time i'm listening to podcasts and streaming music. Also living in an area that has good cellular reception is a bonus as it helps. I also have my hauwei watch connected to it as well which makes in more impressive for me

Idk if that's the S8. What I do know is that the S8 can get just as good battery life as our phone. Go look at their threads.

Not only the SD835 but also the software optimization done by HTC. it just rocks!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] nmuncer:
I have a good signal at home, but, 10% minimum, usually more than 20% in 7 hours(while I'm sleeping...) I usually switch off data & WiFi and set to economy mode....

When in airplane mode, I loose about 3%
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
20% in 7h is horrible, even my S6 with crappy battery life dont drain that much..
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ppaasseeii:
Standby is pretty sub-par for a brand new phone, at the very best I get a minimum of 1%/h loss , with a perfect cell signal and/or wifi. Absolutely no background app or wakelocks (I checked with GSAM).

Hey guys first time for me here.

When i compare your battery life with mine i get goosebumps. Since i use my u11 my battery suck 20% per hour.

stock, No power saver, 75% Brightness, no games, mostly using browser, whatsapp, instagram, fotmob. thats it.

so you guys got any tips for me to get better battery life?

If the final version of VIPERrom gets released ill try the rom with pnp to get a comparison.

Grateful for any advices. thanks

Far out, what sort of sorcery is this????????????
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] pyroblazer:
Hey Guys,

Coming from the M8.

Your battery stats are quiet literally off the charts. Mine are no where near

I received my u11 4 days ago.

Some info:

Stock, not rooted, Software ver - 1.03.400.8, India

I have set up the entire device and have installed all my apps. I'm not getting a good battery life. So I did a test of sorts.

I turned off the wifi and mobile data, Charged to 100%, restarted, cleared all the recent apps just before sleeping.

In the morning I saw that the battery was at 89%. I cannot understand why?!?!?! I mean my 3+ year old m8 performed better with wifi on.

Battery stats are of no help as it shows cell standby as the highest usage.

Again, Today morning I charged up to 70% and now its down to 29% with 1.37Hrs of screen time. Total up time 6hrs 18m

Am i missing something here??

Why is the battery backup so bad? Is it something like it will improve in a few days?

Also, does anyone know of a thread or post where I can find information on how to check for DOA?

Thanks,

Bhavil Jain
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] westeight:

Stock none rooted. unlocking bootloader here in singapore voids warranty.. =(
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
Didn't you get the 1.13 update yet?

Some things I have noticed and done so far (1.13, no root, dual Sim with SD Card as second, Germany, VF):

- 1.13 update seems to me as if it would have helped battery life

- last week at home (holiday) I got best standby times such as posted above. 3 days no problem if I want to. But I have quiet good signal here. When I was driving and spent 1-2 hours at a place with bad signal (only EDGE) I noticed pretty fast a good drop in battery.

- battery life became better after the first about 3 charges. If it is because of my usage or the device I can't tell you

Generally I always try to disable unnecessary things that I don't want. For example no automatic location report to google. Turn off wifi/mobile data overnight and set it to energy saver. Location services in energy saving mode and not most accurate when not needed.

But from the morning till I go to bed there's always wifi or 4G active and I still get quiet good results. I don't have the highest screen on times, probably because I'm not using it enough, but standby is also pretty decent. Right now I have lost 16% in the last 16 hours with also 1 hour screen on.

P.S. I forgot: Edge Sense is also disabled because until now I didn't need it. Don't know how much battery the sensors need, but I don't think it will be much.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] sp0rky:
software number 1.03.400.8 is that the one you are talking about?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
Yep.

I got the 1.13.401.1

But as there are very different update policies depending on country and carrier it seems like everybody has different version at the moment. :D Some already have 1.16 (was it Korea?).
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EtherealRemnant:
To say I'm satisfied is an extreme understatement. My HTC 10 got nowhere near this. There isn't one thing I dislike about this phone, I haven't even rooted it yet.

Well there is one thing - no 4x4 MIMO unless you have Sprint in the US. They couldn't be bothered to activate it for any other US carrier bands, most likely because it's a Sprint exclusive unless you buy it unlocked.

I just recently got a U11, the 1st day battery life was horrible, but I have GSam batter moniter & enabled the extra stats through ADB & found out back up was keeping the phone awake, so I disabled google back up, enabled it, restarted the phone, and now on the 2nd battery cycle I am on 6 hours SOT.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
I don't suggest keeping GBackup off....of course it was keeping the phone awake on the first day. Especially if you were on LTE, it was updating and uploading new data to their servers. Turn it back on and see what happens over time. Took my phone about 2 days before things settled.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] omar302:

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] hked2k.p:
Based on my experience using the HTC 10 and now the HTC U11, the first things I have done is to turn off the following services:-

1. Location > turn off Wi-Fi scanning

2. Location > turn off Bluetooth scanning

3. Location > change to Battery Saving Mode (turn on High Accuracy Mode,when need)

4. Location > turn off Google Location History

5. Reduce the Brightness Level (50% for me which fits my daily needs)

6. Turn on Automatic Brightness function

7. Wi-Fi > turn on Wi-Fi Optimization

8. Turn off HTC Sense Companion (which is not useful to me)

9. Turn off Smart boost function in the built-in Boost+

10. Stop all battery-drained Apps by using the Optimize Background Apps function in Boost+

Afterwards I got 5 hours of screen on time on HTC 10; and 7-8 hours screen on time on HTC U11.

I will post my U11 results later.

I do not understand it as well. Before I returned my unit I had problems to reach 2 days on battery - 1st day 6:00 morning until second day 22:00 evening while device was in flight mode during the night. I had about 1.5 hour of SOT and battery was almost empty second day.

I am used to have GPS high accuracy, BT on, good LTE/WiFi connection all the time. This was no issue for OnePlus 3T always with >20% of battery by end of second day. Even Nexus 5X and old LG G3 it was easy to reach but not on U11. This was one of the reasons for me to return the unit :(
