Whats the software version on yours ?

Are you using blinkfeed with news republic ?

Bought solar red 6gb/128gb version from singapore. Will be getting it this weekeend.

Will be ecstatic to get battery nos as yours [emoji13]

I remember you from lg g2 days. I used verizon g2. Now upgrading from OP2.

Force Doze is simply an app by Franco that forces doze mode to be enabled as soon as the screen is off. I personally never miss my WhatsApp notifications even with it enabled, but you can whitelist certain apps that won't be forced to sleep.

Edit: Yes that is how you force it :)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
Franco made Naptime, not ForceDoze. Does the same thing, but works for non rooted phones.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] [Fenix]:
This is not bad at all :D

Auto brightness (40%), WiFi only, Location on battery saver, 3 email account in sync, some games, lot of WhatsApp and Facebook.

Apps to "save" battery: boost+ and ForceDoze
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachyon1986:
The maH usage for the Screen is quite low. I know you set Auto-brightness , but what was the slider position at? I'm at roughly 1 hour and 30 mins of SOT and the mAH usage is at 430 roughly. Auto-brightness with slider around 40% brightness.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] [Fenix]:
Oh sry, 40% on mine too. This screen is damn bright :laugh:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachyon1986:
You have 769 mAH used in almost 4 hours by the screen. But mine is way higher at the same settings and in just 3 hours too :/

Not sure what's wrong here. Maybe you were in a darker area and the screen auto dimmed for you?

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
better battery stats
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachyon1986:
Best I've got so far. One thing I've noticed is that if you're on auto brightness, try to spend time in a dimly lit room. Naturally, this causes the phone to dim and gives you better SOT.

I don't know, I could be wrong but it seems the 6gb model eats more battery. My 4gb was noticeably much better.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachyon1986:
Are there any new background apps that are running in your phone since you switched to 6gb?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
No I got just about every unnecessary app optimized with boost plus and stuff like HTC Alexa disabled.

Im very happy with my battery life. I dont have anything to complain ? It depends on a lot of how you use your phone. In general what i saw, 270-300mAH per hour is used by screen for browsing , youtube, video calling etc..

How about Location services? I used it on battery savings mode the whole day and reached 6 hours of SoT. I was on WiFi too, made sure I disabled WiFi scanning and other crap. Brightness was set to auto with the slider at 40%.

On that note, I'm not really aware of how much SOT you're getting.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
I'm not complaining, I originally had the 4gb model and with the issues we have been having with Verizon, I decided to return the 4gb model to get the 6gb model, just to get another 30 day trial hoping the Verizon issues would get fixed. But I notice my battery was amazing with my 4gb model and not as good now with my 6gb model. So I was just wondering, does the 6gb model eat more battery or maybe I had a better device than I have now. All I know it isn't as noticeably amazing as it was before.

I haven't disabled wifi scanning I will try that. But yeah I have done about everything else.

Guys a couple of questions:

1. Is news republic/blinkfeed hogging battery?

2. What's the feedback on boost+? Useful or not needed?

3. I am also using greenify along with boost+. Do I need to use either one for better battery?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] amit_sen:
So u have finally bought u11 :good

I have newsrepublic disabled on my phone as i dont use blinkfeed. I love nova launcher prime features so i ditched htc sense home launcher as well.

Yes, NR app does eat good amount of battery.

Give your thoughts on phone in india specific thread. Whats your sw version ?

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
1. Don't experience it on my device.

2. & 3. I'm only using boost+ especially for gaming and power optimizations as found in settings power. Nothing else. Still hitting about 7hrs screen on time. No other App in use to preserve power on my end.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Turtl3z:
Where do I disable WiFi scanning? I can't seem to find it under advanced WiFi

Edit: Never mind. Found it
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] harkirat01:
Yes I did! :D

I like Blinkfeed but you have Ads in between so spoils the fun. Right now I have disabled news republic so I'll monitor how's the battery life without it. I was using Nova launcher prime on 6P so I will move to it once I get bored of the HTC skin.

S/W #1.27.400.8 - Aug 17 security patch

Let's hope we get 8.0 before end of this year.

And I shall pen down my thoughts soon in our India specific thread

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

I think I'll do a mix and match and see what works best for me. Disabled boost+ today so only using greenify. Will test this then do it the other way round. And same goes for Blinkfeed along with other apps that could be an issue.

Best way seems to be try out various combinations and try and figure out what app could be the culprit.

At the moment, 8 and half hrs up time with 1 hr SOT and battery is down to 73%. Seems decent.

Update

31.5 hours up time with 3.5 hrs SOT and battery is down to 20%. :cool:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphae:
Let me know what you find out. Thanks
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkwanness:
Hi Guys, potential HTC u11 128gb/6gb buyer here... I'm convinced to buy this phone for all its features however battery life is my main concern... So if you guys don't mind helping me out with some questions that'll be great.

My main usage are FB app, insta, whatsapp and youtube. Quite heavy on the youtube part to maybe 3-4 hours of watching each day... No gaming.. one sim, 2 emails, based in Malaysia if that matters.

I currently have a huawei mate 9 with 4000mah battery, however i never seen 6h screen-on time. Usually 4-5 hours max and i have to charge 6pm everyday. The optimization sucks big time and i dont have many apps installed other than what i need. But the big battery helps sometimes when I'm on gps traveling long rides up to 6hours.. but even with that, I'm riding with the sreen off just voice and music.

Do you think the u11 is up for my usage? Or i should prepare to charge often or limit some functions? Let me know.. really looking to get a good flagship phone but never bought a HTC! Thanks!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] SilentEYE:
[MENTION=5161932]jkwanness[/MENTION]

Your SOT on the Huawei is quite low. Maybe there is a faulty setup or something.

The battery on the u11 is weaker.

Some users have with FB app 6 hours SOT but the your phone should have the same.

Did you take a look at gsmarena it's battery tests?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] amit_sen:
Go get htc u11. You should easily get 6hrs with your usage. I get more than 7hrs with similar usage. However my YouTube part is restricted to max 2hrs. You wont regret your decision.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] avatar_ro:
on wifi you will have excellent battery life (~7 hours) for whatever you do (i am not playing games), youtube, twitch reddit etc... on LTE i get ~5h of SOT. I like the phone, the only regret I have buying it is the missing headphone jack, I will never buy another phone without headphone jack. **** you HTC
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkwanness:
Thanks guys for the replies... I'll seriously consider the U11... as i experienced that 4,000mah doesnt mean anything but logically speaking 3,000mah comparing to 4,000mah, u11 should have lesser use. But seriously, 5 hours for my Mate 9 is unheard of. Only in the best of conditions, eg. overseas on airplane mode.. on those occasions i get like 7h - 10h SOT... but any phone could get that anyways.

Thanks will consider it now! Another option for me is LG V30.. but that is pricey!!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] harkirat01:
Here's my update: #6 gigs version

Battery down to 5% with 36 hours up time, 4.5 hrs SOT, Phone was mostly on LTE apart from a few hours on WiFi at night. Also the reception at my place is bad.

Location - OFF

Auto Brightness - ON which is usually set to 60% or so

Using Boost+ app

Quite satisfied with the battery. You can expect the SOT to go up to 6-7 hours if up time is lesser (maybe <24 hours)

Feel free to ask me questions
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
Dang I must have a faulty device, I can never get that good. What is your cell standby time? I'm on Verizon I think enabling bands 2 and 4 may have something to do with it cause my first U11 was the 4gb model and I got much better battery.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheEndHK:

I'm with 6G dual sims. The battery life during use is good to excellent(indeed all phones running with s835 provides nice battery performance, not only on u11), I think the battery level is identical or close to my old Sony Z1 Compact(s800, 2GB, 4.3" 720p).

The main issue is idle battery draining with some pre-installed apps in the background, if you debloat it should fix the problem. Turn the power saver on will help as it reduces the cpu speed but still very fast for a s835, expected a 6~7hrs SOT.

LG V30 with s835 is a nice phone. If you need the wide camera, it is definitely a good option but the rear camera quality is mediocre, not worth at this price level and it got only 4GB ram. If you want 6" screen with a slim body, V30 is good to go.

For the price/performance ratio, U11 is the winner over V30 or Pixel 2 atm.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
Like I mentioned already, I'm not having the phenomenal battery experience I had when I had the 4gb model. But I'm on Verizon so we were stuck with only band 13 until we found out that network signal guru enabled the missing bands 2 & 4 so now I'm thinking this may be why. I only had band 13 when I had my 4gb model. I'm gonna try locking my phone back down to only band 13 for a few days to see. I had great service with just band 13 anyway.

Guys I have problem with my HTC U11.

All it's starts normally, good battery for all day.

At 15% I put in charger.

Next morning, i unplug the charger and is 100% and battery starts to discharge quickly (approximately 15-20%/hour)

At 35% the HTC dies and the battery is 0%

I plug the charger and after 3 minutes, htc is 28-30%.

When battery is over 60% I can unplug and use normally without problems.

What can I do?

Model HTC U11 6/128

Android 7.1.1

Software 1.27

Thank you and sorry for bad English

The charger supplied by HTC is not a quick charger. I find that disappointing. I only started getting fast charge when I use my anker QC3.0 charger.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] pec0ra:
My stock htc charger definitely supports QC3.0. Maybe yours is broken or you didn't test correctly.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr_Stabs:
No it's neither of these things as the values printed on the charger don't match up to QC3.0
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtschmeichel:
My charger sports the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 logo. Where did you buy your phone, maybe it is a grey market import?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] pec0ra:
Same for me. And the values printed are also QC ones. You can see that the output lists different voltages. The higher ones (9V and 12V) are the ones that are negotiated between the phone and the charger by quick charge. The currents listed might not be the highest you can find on the market but they are definitely within the QC

[IMG="Charger"]https://preview.ibb.co/dQMmzb/IMG_20171130_090827.jpg[/IMG]

The app Ampere also shows a current which can only be attained with some kind of fast charging.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
I don't know if anyone else has come to the same findings as I have, but now I can strongly say that being on a custom ROM eats more battery life on standby. I've used the stock ROM with a locked Bootloader for several weeks while on Oreo, and my overnight standby battery drain was 2-3% for 8 hours or so. After unlocking my bootloader and using a custom rom again, regardless of which kernel I use, I still lose about 12-14% per night I'm a 6hr period.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Doesn't have anything to do with location as far as I can tell. The mobile network is just constantly active for very long periods of time. I did a Battery Historian test and mobile network was active for roughly 6 hours combined even though my SOT was only 2 hours.

I believe it is an Oreo issue. The U11 did "report" higher mobile network drain but it didn't actually affect usage for me and it never crossed more than say 20% so seeing crazy things like 30-40% is crazy. I have a Mate 10 Pro arriving tomorrow just so I can compare it to the U11+ and see if the mobile network drain happens on there a lot as well. So far only two people reported it on Mate 10 forums, whilst a lot more have mentioned it on the U11 and U11+ forums
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] davyjonesbp:
Mobile Standby Drain

For Mobile Network Standby, i did this:

- Let phone go under 10% (read that this allows OS to calibrate the battery itself)

- Then i changed Sim1 Preferred network type (settings->dual network manager->sim1->network mode) to 2g/3g 2-3 hours ago.

Now after 15h 40min i have screen 27%, mobile net.st. 12%. LTE eats a lot
