people should specify if they use

1. p2a42 or p2c72 phone

2. battery saver mode (because it disables vibration,reduces cpu clock,limits background accitivies...)

3. the overall effort for the SOT, gaming? gps? only browsing? speaker never on, or lots of music?

4. IMPORTANT, stock rom with lots of white color or custom rom with substratum black themes, black apps, black wallpapers...etc

5. brightness % ?...... 25....50...75...100% ?

6. mostly 4g or wifi? only wifi?

WITHOUT THESE INFO it is useless to compare 8... 10...16...18 sot.

---------- Post added at 05:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

i start...

100 to 10% 11h45min Sot. ___ 1day 20h standby

1. p2c72 with a42 stock rom s244 ota

2. NO battery saver mode

3. heavy usage mixed gaming, gps testing apps, youtube with music background playback, telegram, browsing

4. black wallpaper used on homepage and youtube black mod version. everything else stock white

5. precisely 25% brightness

6. 95% wifi usage, only 1h light use outside home 3g

I highly recommend a factory wipe when going from one Android version to another. I too had some problems when I went from Marshmallow to Nougat. My problems were solved with a wipe.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] Ishann20:
Yeah with me also... Do a factory reset
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] sanyasi420:
I still see more drain than before. Maybe 30 mins less than before (maybe I am being picky, but hey P2 has set a high standard :) ). I used the Feature/Smart Scene during sleeping hours. Not sure if this is helpful or harmful (It should be considering I am disabling data,wifi gps etc.). But seems to drain little more after the update.

Secondly, I have been testing my home wifi speeds last 2 days. Does speedtest and wifi analyser eat more battery than other apps ?

Other than that, no other change in my usage pattern.

[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] sanyasi420:
Beats me, 1 day of no signal time?? Phone is always on.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] j.jeedz:
S244
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] sanyasi420:
Post the update it's been 2 weeks and 2nd full cycle. All I can observe is more battery drain. No idea why. Where I used to average 13-14, it is down to 12-13. And similar usage as before. Even if I consider bad signal, I am just wondering how can it be different. 1 hour less on average with similar apps. No change as such. Any tips? When I am on data it is always ON. I don't necessarily use data all the time though.

FYI - my usage pattern also hasn't changed much.

Right now, from full charge, it is down to 59%, with SOT of 4h50m. So I barely looking at 12h SOT overall.

Why you put your phone on battery saver mode?? That's why you getting this huge SOT
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] azeemzuhair:
There seems to be a "bug" in the "Battery Saver" mode. You'll be surprised that by turning on "Battery Saver" mode, P2 is much more responsive (pretty much similar to any Snap835 devices...).

Battery Saver mode eliminates all transitions in Android/AOSP UI. Hence, the fluidity of UI makes P2 be like OnePlus 5 device...
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] Ishann20:
He's telling the truth.. I tried it
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] :
Had my P2 for nearly 10 months now . I'm getting around 13 hours SOT , just over 3 days normal use . I'll give it a full charge now and see how it goes with the battery saver mode , sounds interesting :)
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] teodos:

[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] razr96:
Mine with RR 5.8.5. This thing is insane, I'm getting twice the SOT of my redmi note 3 pro.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] vladmitra:
Woah, that's crazy. Had a Xiaomi Redmi Pro, it looked to promise a lot with that 4050mah battery, but couldn't get more than 5-6h SOTand it went straight to the warranty. And here I'm envying your P2 with 19h SOT hahah xd. Hope they will replace it with another model (hoping for P2 best)
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] 911-Future_Maker:
Same, mine is 8 months old. Still the battery is going on as new 13-14h sot.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] abderazakallouch:

1- do you use this rom? https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p2/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-5-pranay-7-t3685229

2- do you use substratum with black themes?

3- do you have any kind of smartwatch always connected with bluetooth? (like miband1/2...)

4- do you use greenify ?

5- do you use the aggressive doze of greenify or naptime app to force the nougat doze?

6- can you tell us the brightness value? 20, 50, 70% fixed or automatic ?
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] razr96:
1. Yes.

2. Yes, I use Swift Black.

3. No.

4. No.

5. No.

6. 35% fixed.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] realista87:
great response thank u! i also use swift black but on 5.8.3 rom ... but it is really strange you are not using greenify or a forced doze mode ...is there any specific reason?? maybe you made some tests in the past on previous phones/roms and did u find that greenify and aggressive doze are USELESS features for extending the battery endurance?

i've always thought that at least to greenify rarely used apps is a MUST, to obtain a great battery life and sot because greenified apps don't activate any alarm or wakelock....
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] razr96:
Yeah greenify and forced doze don't make a difference to me. My idle drain in non-existent so I don't use them. If you are careful about what apps you install then you shouldn't need them. Though I do use app ops to limit what apps have the run in background, run at startup, and prevent phone from sleeping permissions.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] The WiTcH Er:
main reason for battery drain can be the mobile cannot go to deep sleep. For better deep sleep you can try naptime from play store. Before using this app I had above 0.6%/hr discharging, but after using this app naptime I got better deep sleep 0.3%/hr discharge.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] Er Ic Ks:
Minimum 10hrs and maximum 16hrs and normal 13hrs. Perfect combination of monster in a piece.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] realista87:
what do you think about my results? i need your opinion.

RR 5.8.5 magma kernel v5

from 100 to 23% battery, 2d10h standby, 6h SOT, 92% time LTE 8% WIFI, about 700mb (wifi+data) used, whatsappWEB always on, miband2 (mifit app) always on, NO gps, NO sync and NO systemwide NOTIFICATIONS except whatsapp/telegram/miFit, full phone themed BLACK with substratum, 40% display brightness

check pictures
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] The WiTcH Er:
Almost 25% for 2hrs sot, Max Sot 8hrs. In my opinion this is not good for normal user.

Try stock kernal and [naptime app for root user]. Also turn off auto start and run in background - stuff from app ops section.

I get 8hrs sot with all features turned on and heavy gaming continuosly with hotspot, data turned ON. I also use lot of social network apps with sync on.

In my opinion 8<10hrs for gamers,

10~12hrs sot is normal for mixed usage.

above 12hrs sot is for minimal users.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] realista87:
i achivied good results only for the first 1 or 2 months of usage..... then idkn the batery started to show lessendurance, maybe a premature corrosion?

i can't understand why i am no more able to do over 10h sot.... even with everything themed black....
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] The WiTcH Er:
Maybe Theming is not going make it better, if it is substratum theme it will consume ram and battery, inbuilt themes in custom rom are basically enough for normal user. Anyway theming will not improve battery life in major account.

Finally use "Battery calibration[root]" [~863kb] app from play store to delete battery stat file, maybe battery life can vary, I use this app whenever I change the rom and it is good. Also Try most downloaded 7.1 rom or stock rom for a week, without huge modification in system to see the difference.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] blaspheme000:
Using Stock Rom i can go up to 8hours SOT all from heavy gaming. Battery life is way too good compared to my redmi 5 plus. Plus this thing also has qc 3.0.

Bro, are you using any type of battery saving apps? There is a battery icon showing on your screen's top left end. Since you are using TWO sims cards, i do not know how you people are getting 12-18 SOT with 2+ days usage. I never get more than 6 to 7 hours SOT in my usage. I am using whats app and mail and all other apps are not running in the backend. I am using stock 7.0 also.

Do you have any tips for me to achieve more than 10 Hrs SOT? Kindly help
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] azeemzuhair:
It's easy actually...

Just ensure both "Data Saver" and "Battery Saver" is "On" :

To turn on "Data Saver" :

To turn on "Battery Saver" :

Next, goto "Background app management" option and turn "On" all apps that we DON'T need to run in the background. In my screenshot below, only WhatsApp is turn "off" to ensure it receives push notifications in the background:

Next, goto "Apps" option, select the apps (in this case WhatsApp), select "Data usage" option, and turn on BOTH toggles below:

Finally, execute "Recent app" and lock WhatsApp and other apps that we need to keep in the RAM :
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] gh0st1596:
I'm exactly in the same position. I can get probably 7 or 8 hours of SOT but I don't remember ever reaching 10 hours. Will try these tips now though.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] eried1:
What are you guys getting today? I've used my phone heavily for 3.5 years and I get two days of use, 7 hours of SOT.

I think I got about 14 hours of SOT back in the day.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] eried1:
When it goes downhill it's goes quick. In my fourth year, I am now getting one day of use and 8 hours of SOT.

I have an original battery so I will soon replace the old one manufactured in 2016. Expecting a sharp increase.

Edit: Had my battery tested and I think it has lost close to 30%, maybe more, of its original capacity.
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] eried1:
Rocking on! 💪

Assuming a 0.4%/h idle discharge rate, I would after three days have 71.2% left which is equivalent to 8.544 SOT. Battery wear is about 90%. Hail to the king! 👑

A couple of days ago I went to check my e-mail and realized that my Windows Live Mail was just blank! I tried manually syncing and such, but nothing helped. At one point all the mail showed back up, but then promptly dissappeared again.

Today I realized there was a software update for the Q and I updated it. (Traded Qs a while back and maybe it didn't have MOL3, haven't looked closely to see what it is.) Anyway, this caused me to reload and I assumed a reload would fix WLM. I was wrong.

I don't know exactly version I'm using, but I picked it up from here a few months back and it's been working great until recently.

Is anyone else having trouble? What's the latest version proven to work on the Q? I may have to bug my Verizon rep to see if I can get a more current phone. Hmmm...guess we'll see. Thanks for any help!

[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] Tahir Baig:
The battery life was blissful and why wouldn't it be! The power effecient Snapdragon 625 and humongous capacity will push this phone for a very long time before I would end up near a charging socket. But lately, I have been noticing a drop in the battery life of this phone. I received an update in August 2017 which was a July security patch of 125mb. After that update I did notice a drop in battery life. Not that it is terrible now, but surely it doesn't feel like 5100 mAh any more, or may be it feels like 4000 mAh. I used to push this phone for 2 full days earlier and still would have 20% juice left, but now my P2 gives up at 5 to 10 hours past a day. It still impressive but these are not the stats that reflect a 5100 mAh capacity with a very efficient cpu, and considering the fact that it was much better before that 125mb update. And when Lenovo phones get an update they never specify the summary of that update. So I doubt that a security patch alone cannot be 125mb. There was surely some bug fixes in that update, but I did not notice any fixes instead a drop in battery life sadly!
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] eried1:
I haven't noticed any change in battery life since the update. At my current user pattern I should, according to GSam, be able to browse the web for 10 hours before battery is depleted. SOT would be almost 20 hours.

The battery is great and the phone is rugged, mine got smashed so many times and a friend even sat on it and the aluminium shell eventually cracked (I replaced it, and had to take it apart).

Placed the battery on a weight scale just for fun. The weight of the phone comes at a price, it feels heavy or well heavier than most phones of that screen size but the battery performance is great and the phone is super rugged.

My suggestion is you should try upgrading to pie custom rom, they are giving me so far the best SOTs I've ever able to get on P2. :highfive:
[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] eried1:
The SOT depends om my user pattern and apparently the reception also plays a big part. Not to mention I have many apps which never sleep.

I recently hit 8 hours of SOT when using it for 43 hours. That's from a 100% to 20% charge.

[Lenovo P2 Real Life Review] Kontex:
Don't know what you expect with this question as there is a fine SOT thread for the phone. You get about 10-15 hours screen on time. You have to charge it around ones a week if you use the P2 one hour per day if you switch off messengers, google services, wifi, gps, bluetooth, data and set your screen to very dark auto mode the rest of the time . If you don't use it all you may have to charge it ones a month. I would call myself a light user so I attached the SOT of my current week. As you see with 70% of the energy of the battery I got 9 hours of SOT within one week.
