Nothing . Whenever I buy a new mobile I deplete its battery to 0% so that it turns OFF itself and then plug it to charger till it is 100% and then switch it ON .

Repeat this cycle 2-3 times and hopefully you'll be good to go.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] caronaakk:
Nex has AI based Battery charging mathod.

When you charge this in day time it takes less time to charge compare to charging at night time.

My Nex Charged from 10 to 100 in 45 to 60 mins depends on interval in between charging.

At night it takes more then 60 mins ..
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] CapraSebi:
Check the where to buy thread around page 30...someone explained that the Nex got shipped with a charger that doesn't support fast charging(picks included). Also, as I understand, when it fast charges it makes some kind of an animation..like a thunder..on the screen. Good luck
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] erkund:
I purchased mine in India. I have to use a type-B plug adapter. Vivo told me they don't manufacture a type-B charger. There is no after-market charger that will support fast charge.

When you plug into fast charge the charging icon turns yellow and spins faster. It also says "dual core fast charging"
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] chudybws:
I measured the charging time today on the turned off screen.

0-30% 15min

0-50% 25min

0-70% 35min

0-90% 60min

0-100% 1h 25min

I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Flyers88:
The simple answer is your cable. Assuming the charging brick you're using is fast charge or from Vivo, it's the CABLE that truly dictates the charging speed.

You need a 28/24 gauge bound cable. When you buy cables, they're not all created equally. I have tested this with another fast charge brick and a purchased 28/24 gauge wire cable and it activates the quick-charge function on the phone. Any other combination of cables that are non 28/24 gauge and you can't fast charge with the phone.

So to summarize:

-charging source needs to be the fast charge brick from Vivo or another fast charge capable brick charger

-You NEED a 28/24 gauge cable, no other type will work with fast charge
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] LordKonovalov:
I asked Vivo in Facebook about how to charge my phone and they told me that its better to net let your phone be charged from 0-20% but higher than that . and you shouldnt play while the phone charging , also if its a brand new , when you unbox it its not reccomended to wait the battery to die and then to charge it to 100 % cause its allready been activated (the battery).
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Flyers88:
Check my previous post. While it is maybe true, most new age lithium ion batteries are built with decent to sufficient resistance to memory half life.

The real key is exactly as I explained in my post, in that it really has to do with the charging block and more importantly be cable gauge size. Most places don't sell 28/24 gauge cables as their primary USB cable type, C, micro, etc.

So remember:

-Need fast-charge brick (original or other)

-NEED 28/24 gauge, type doesn't matter so long as it's that gauge

Meet those requirements and you'll have fast-charge on this or any other capable device.

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Vivo Nex before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Hi there..

I am planning to buy this phone, but there is just one thing holding me back...

i wanted to know that, when we use apps like face book or whatsapp, does it show more content (being a bigger screen) or all things appear bloated up and big???

I have one plus 6 and i am planning to buy this...

Kindly reply.

Can you tell how much exactly? How much SOT you had before and how much now?

I already had the latest update so I want to know how much did you get without the update, still testing my battery is at 36% with 5h 40min Sot.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
before this was 6 hours 48 mins SOT and i have left with 40%.

now 6 hours SOT and i left with 15%.

last night, 7 hours sleep and battery drain from 90 to 66 when i woke up (wifi is on)

I got 8h 15min Sot with the last 15 percent on power saver mode. :( It's not bad but seeing you guys get over 10 and 11h makes me jelly...

Maybe it's the update. :crying:
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
now on average, 1 hour drop 3-4%. tested on airplane mode and still the same. my phone sucks now :,(

anyone can help me?

i suspect some services didnt sleep at all....

latest update : i factory reset the phone + delete all data... lets see how :(
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] -Andro1d-:
Thanks for trying. Please report back with results as this starts to bug me more than it should be... SOT now around 5h -.-
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Number 8:
Agree on reporting back. I am on 8h SOT.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
Good news! The battery drain issue is gone.

The last thing I did was reset back to factory settings + wipe user data.

All the methods I tried before doesn't work including

1. Factory reset without date wipe

2. Clear cache

3. Remove bloated softwares

4. Airplane mode

5. Trying to revert back the firmware(not possible for now)

I will post a full battery sot ss tonight :)
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Number 8:

[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
Yup you are right!
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] -Andro1d-:
Didn't work for me still the same SOT- android system consuming about 26% (rank 1) of my battery according to built in funtouch monitoring
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Number 8:
I can confirm that reset and format didn't work for me... Have the same 7.5-8h sot more or less, no heavy gaming only apps that I've used are radio streaming, chrome, youtube and music player.

Damn. :(
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
Hmm doesn't sound right. If a optimal nex phone should have around 10 hours sot.

Can you try to factory reset your phone again without installing anything. I mean let the phone at factory setting.

Then leave the phone idle for one hour. That one hour should not have any battery drop at all.

Once you verified that factory setting is good u can start to install your softwares. Then u go to setting - battery - power consumption ranking. Click on Android system. The phone awake status should be pretty low. If is as high as like few hours, some apps are not sleeping at all.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Number 8:
Got even less yesterday, around 7h sot...

In power consumption ranking:

Android system is at 20% awake status 24min but Chrome is first with 24%?

That seems too high... I'll try your method tomorrow and report back.

Edit: android system now at 31%? Hmm..

Edit2: chrome uninstalled, android system at 41%!? Don't know wtf is going on..
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
I think some services never stop. I strongly suggest that remove the bloated apps from vivo. Refer to the other thread. Removing bloated softwares without root. Give it a try bro
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
arg... the battery drain is back for no reason. tried to uninstall everything but still the same... dont know what the heck happened gg
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] loudog3114:
Add a setting widget for battery and you will get the traditional android battery screen, including SOT.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] selferng:
installed better battery stats and check what is going on.... wish me luck lol....

i think i have found the root cause of the drain.. is pretty dumb actually.

edit 1:

the drain occur after you snooze the alarm clock example 5 mins later. 5mins later the alarm clock will trigger again. after this event, phone will never deep sleep anymore and causes drain 3-4% per hour. how to reset this? simply close all the alarm and reopen back... phone can go back to deep sleep. gg...

edit2:

after fix the issue, full day 4g data and gaming 3hours plus and surfing net ~ SOT around 7.5hours. will monitor one more day and report back :). need few more cycles to get a more accurate SOT.

believe can reach close to 10 - 12 hours if purely wifi
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Number 8:
7.5h sot is not good. Everyone getting around 10h. Switched from chrome to via browser and don't seem to have drain anymore.

Now I have around 9h sot.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Raghunandan24:
Hi Guys.... Intinally I had no complaints about the battery life of this phone because I was coming from a moto x style that I had to charge thrice a day to just keep it alive... But after seeing this thread and checking SoT after a full charge to 0... I should say I am deeply disappointed... I got only 5.5 hrs of SoT... I use chrome (4%) and leave it in the recent apps with 5 to 6 tabs always open... Also phone idle 15% and android system 10% are the top 2 and 3 after screen which is 20%... Should I be worried...?? I cannot do a factory reset... Any suggestions...

[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] DinoBuaya:
Was that all on LTE?

Was your SoT in total achieved on LTE?

For your SoT numbers on LTE, over what span of time was that achieved?

Thank you.

To everyone else, am really interested in knowing people's all day LTE SoT numbers for heavy social media (WhatsApp, Reddit etc) and browsing usage without any gaming. Am looking out for phones with OLED and large wide screens like the Vivo NEX' but the battery must last all day on LTE/HSPA+ coz I seldom get the chance to charge in between before I get back home.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Twotems:
Well you're not going to get much better than the Nex. Just check GSMArena's battery list to confirm. The battery life is epic.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] DinoBuaya:
GSMA's battery stats are totally worthless. I cannot take their tests seriously anymore. I speak from experience, not one claim made by GSMA is remotely true for a number of phones I have had used. Note 4 GSMA gave it some epic numbers back in the days, I have tried my Note 4 in light - medium - moderate - heavy usage over WiFi and LTE in 4 different countries. Their numbers were just not reproducible not even with a relaxed margin of variance. The same was true with my extensive tests with the Oneplus One and the Samsung S8+ my wife uses. GSMA rated the LG V40 as downright terrible but XDA forumers can show plenty of examples over WiFi alone how that is simply not true. At work I have a colleague who has a new Note 9 Exynos version, GSMA rated it really well with some good stats, their numbers are highly suspect now with us seeing terrible 5-6hrs of SoT with mixed WiFi and LTE with excellent reception in the area. Factory reset yielded no joy, Exynos is just plain subpar when it comes to battery usage and its DVFS curves versus snapdragon SD 845 as reported by Note 9 users on XDA but GSMA would have you thinking otherwise.

That's why I rather seek out real world numbers from actual people on forums like XDA, however so many numbers here are what appears to be primarily WiFi usage. I need more LTE only usage stats, if Vivo NEX can really dish out like 7-8hrs of SoT on pure LTE for heavy social media and browsing (without gaming) I'd buy the phone asap :)
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Twotems:
Sounds to me like you don't know how the GSMArena battery tests work. It's an average indicator to give you a general idea. There's also a slider on top so you can adjust the usage for your needs.

The NexS easily has the best battery life of any flagship from 2018. You want better then get something like the Xiaomi Mi Max3. Or get an LTE Mifi and use that with your phone. One thing you didn't mention was how you set up your phone to handle background apps. <mod edit> everything is a compromise with phones and your requirements are tough to meet with a flagship.

Brought a Vivo nex 5 days back. Battery back up is not as said in forums and reviews. I get SOT only for 5 hrs for avg usage. Is there any way to improve the battery performance??
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Twotems:
Since everything is killed by default in Funtouch it would be helpful telling us how you use it. Games, video, chatting, Facebook, Snapchat etc.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] dhev_:
Max of 45 mins gaming , videos for an hour , music for 45 mins. These are major usage. whatsapp, google news, calls are minimal usage. Thats it.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Twotems:
It's tough to answer your question. Some games are very heavy on the battery as are videos depending on whether they're Youtube or other apps. You have to be more specific. If you have Facebook or Snapchat running in the background then they are notorious battery killers.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] dhev_:
Game - Pubg at HD frame rate set at high. Not a youtuber. Just watch movies in Netflix or Prime video. I use FB very rarely but will close the application and won't allow it to run in background. Never use snapchat. One thing i noticed is even without playing any games my SOT comes around only for 5 hrs but charge withstand capacity increases by 3 hrs.

My phone battery was completely was completely drained out of box. Is that normal?
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Twotems:
I've never had a new phone completely drained out of the box. That's not a good sign and sounds like the problem. You should get a minimum average of 7+ hours.
[Vivo Nex Real Life Review] Twotems:
Battery stats from yesterday. Over 9hrs of SOT and 24 apps running in the background with almost 30 minutes of regular calls, one hour of whatsapp calls, about 2 hours of vpn use, 20 minutes of playing Unkilled, browsing, whatsapp messaging, YouTube etc and 1.5 hrs of mobile data use.
