[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] naja08:
Thought mine has degraded a lot even though I almost always charge somewhere between 20-80%

But I had few days now where I needed 100%. From that I know now that I don't have any degraded battery performance. It was just a wrong sense from never using the full potential (which is okay if I don't need it)

So after a year I still get the 6h sot on 1 day I got at the beginning (never got the fantastic 8-9 hours as some other users).

So for me there is no battery life reduction noticeable (so u guess the quick charge isn't as harmful as it feels like)
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] deathtothespy:
Hi guys, I've been using the phone for 4 days now since it arrived in the mail, and I haven't been able to make it past the 4.5 / 5 hours mark of SOT. I wonder what may be causing this?

I'm running Oxygen OS 9.0.17.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] cultofluna:
Just bought it ?..

You should have minimal 8-9 hrs SOT...

can you post a screenshot from battery usage?..
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] deathtothespy:
Sure. Here are my battery stats. I'm running Android 10.0.1, and I factory reset the phone just in case any of my apps was sucking up this much battery. It turns out none of my apps are responsible for this.

These two images correspond to the phone after the factory reset:

I'm not yet able to post links so...

And these two correspond to the phone when I still had my apps on it:

Bought this phone at the time of its launch. The battery life is still pretty solid.

Setup: EvoX 4.0 & Illusion kernel.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] cultofluna:
Illusion kernel is the stock kernel for the EvoX 4.0?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Rijul30:
I used the phone for less than an hour. It was on standby most of the time with wifi on. No background processes happening. No clue what's wrong. Anybody has any idea ?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] cultofluna:
Install better battery stats

And monitor the battery usage to find the culprit..
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] kousarali:
Yes.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] WhiteWashed:
Guys it's pointless to post screenshots of SoT time without also posting the screenshot of the usage per-app...you could do 10hrs SoT using just whatsapp over two days for example...we also need to know which app you used and how much each app drained
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Stateofstatic:
For some reason ever since the last One plus system update (10.3.1) I've been getting insane screen on time...used to be around 8-9hrs which I've been more than happy with, but this is just ridiculous! Last charge was over 11 HOURS. I try to post a screenshot but XDA forum won't let me.

i bought OnePlus 6T T-Mobile version a month back .i had android 9. last week i got android 10 update.

since then my battery is draining very fast.

i can hardly get 4hrs of screen time.

appreciate your inputs.

i am in February security patch. security patch n have andry 10.

Is about 4 to max 5 hours of SOT normal..

Any inputs would be really appreciated.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] AndechitoOP6T:
Hi Hardik,

I bought my OP6T at the very beginning, in november 2018. I had the same problem updating form Android 9 to 10.

I is very common that some users are having battery issues, because this is a significant OS change, and the "best" and fastest solution is factoring reset. You have been using the phone just a month, so maybe it should be not a big deal for you to do it. ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Hardik4342:
Thanks for the inputs..

Did you do factory reset ? And did u have improvements in sot on Android 10? If yes how much difference did u see?

I can do that as a very last option .

Can I ask for replacement device as mine is just a month old phone? Just checking my options
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] onliner:
I'm done with this phone, since I installed 10.3.1 it's the fourth time I have to restart it because the battery consumption is exaggeratedly high without an apparent reason, at the beginning the battery life seems to be normal and gradually begins to decrease, until become garbage, I'm talking of 2hs of screen in 48hs of use (Less than half than with Android 9).

A couple of hours ago I was listening music through Spotify using wired headphones (Playing local files, not streaming), suddenly the sound began to have some cuts/glitches, at first I thought I had disconnected the cable or something similar, but when I took the phone out of my pocket it was very hot, and in less than 10 minutes the battery percentage dropped from 43% to 30% (It's not the first time something like this has happened to me since I updated to Android 10). Also, sometimes I can perfectly notice how the device heats up more than usual with low demanding tasks. And yes, I clean flashed using msmdownloadtool.

I use the same setup since years, and with "setup" I'm talking about the apps and config (I have like 10 apps installed, I'm a "light" user), so the problem is not from my side, this is a bad joke OnePlus.

End of the rant.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] bastele1130:
Wow that are quite amazing stats. I hardly get 5 hours of SOT with 17-18 hours of usage. I am on latest stock update. Any suggestions to improve the stats are anticipated and welcomed Bhai.

Regards.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sachin09:
This situation is not new. It happens with lots of users. After update battery life reduced and the phone gets hot.

It is due to the phone is doing its stuff like optimizing apps.

After getting OP 6T I read many posts about battery life and heating and optimization and these are the points which I got from posts.

Note - always backup your device

1. Try to update your phone at night or before you go to sleep. This will give your Phone time to do optimization.

2. After update set up as a new device. Install apps from the play store. (Contacts will automatically be restored if synced to google. For recent calls and SMS use "SMS backup and restore" from the play store.

3. Battery life heavily affected by unoptimized apps and using unbranded or other manufacturer's chargers and cables.

4. Try not to clear system cache via recovery frequently. These are the files which are optimized by android. If you do so android needs to rebuild these again and cost battery life. It takes someday to a week to rebuild.

5. Always use the provided charger and USB cable except in an emergency or you forget your charger at home.

6. Battery life also affected by how you use your device. Playing games, using maps, and other battery-intensive tasks. So don't compare with those whose usage pattern is different from yours.

Now I tell you how I set up my device.

Flashed OOS 9.0.16 using msmdownload tool.

Because I don't like android 10.

Using ADB commands I disable

System update (with the gear icon)(don't like system update notification)

NVbackupUI

Oneplus account

Basic stuff = Google app, Google videos, music, photos, duo, youtube(using vanced), ARcore, basic daydreams.

Thanks and

Open for more suggestions

Hello everybody,

my 'NEVER SETTLE' device seems to have settled very well.... :D

latest SOT... have to say, very good...

Cheers
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Scooterthedude:
I'm not understanding how everyone is getting so low on sot. I'm on the latest oxygen, rooted. I get around 11 hours sot watching movies strait since my work is at a hult. Last me a whole shift.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] mine420:
Straight runs always will last longer than pauses and what not. Plus no calls and staying in WiFi helps.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] mine420:
Here are some of mine not the best but not bad by any means fairly standard. Also sorry for double post the XDA app doesn't seem to allow attachments in edits
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Scooterthedude:
That was with calls and duo and only on lte Verizon no wifi. I'm new to this phone but it's been great.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
All wifi? Tutto wifi o anche 4g?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Dadditz:
Hello dude, ciao ragazzo, :D

yes, basically only wifi, forced by quarantine I have not used 4G,

maybe a few times for a few minutes ... :)

Cheers ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
ok, so not so a "real life" usage... i need more on 4G.

Thanks, grazie assai

[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] flash713:
I recently got a near mint used Oneplus 6t. Thinking this is good or about average on OOS for battery drain just posting so you guys/gals can maybe validate. Very happy with this device. Got mine off swappa and love it! Best device I've ever had! :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] niteshnandi:
Only gaming reduces the sot by 50%
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Causical:
It has actually been an insanely good device all this time hasn't it... I mean it's safe to say that when a company releases a phone 2 years later that people are buying for 500 dollars that is practically spec'd to perform barely at the same level of this 845 device... That this is STILL a dam good device.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] flash713:
My stats from today. I don't have all my tweaks set yet to achieve maximum battery life but now I do. I can probably get another 1.5 hours sot now that my doze is set to more aggressive non motion settings and I set about 90% of my apps to go to sleep faster and chill out using Servicely and Naptime apps.

My favorite setup: Corvus rom + Radioactive kernel=?

This is watching YouTube alot, making a few short calls, texting with signal alot, using zallo, and reading my Google news feed news and of course XDA. ?? I never make it this far. I'm usually in bed much sooner and have a lot of battery remaining. It's waaaaaayy past my bed time. ??
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] akiitd94:
Substantial reduction in sot

Bought my op6t in Nov 2018. On the latest android 10.3.6 build. My sot has come down to 5.5 hours.

Usage: normal (whatsapp, telegram, chrome, youtube vanced), calling (2 hours daily), no gaming.

Any idea how to improve my sot?

(Non-rooted)
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] chidi_duru:
At 7hr 37 mins screen on-time today. Have been averaging roughly 5.5-6.5 hrs screen on-time with 15-20% empty most days. Rom is Pixen OS android 10 version. On Verizon/Wifi combo. Sorry, I don't know how to attach pics here. It's just giving me link options.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] chidi_duru:
Now, running ShapeshiftOS android 11. On Verizon wireless. Mixture of wifi and 4G. Mainly youtubing, facebooking, text, browsing.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] flash713:
10.3.9 stock OOS rom, Blu Spark kernel #155, busybox magisk module installed. No other tweaks.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] flash713:
You can install an app like LTE discovery and monitor signal strength to see if it's bad. That would explain poor battery life on this device. Because the 6t gets extremely fantastic battery life! Watch that and see how it goes. You can set alerts in the app to beep when coming in and out of various signals and whatnot. Cool app! I use it with root but it can be used without root as well. You can unlock bootloader but not root and install a custom kernel like mcd or blu spark but unlocking bootloader would wipe data because it has to and does on all phones when it's done. No getting around that but I would install a kernel, one of those two, and use LTE discovery.

How do you charge your device? I leave mine on the original OEM dash wall charger for about an hour or hour and a half until it's 100% and I take it off. I always do this! Anything over once it re full is extremely bad for the battery and will make it lose it's ability to last long. Any charger you use that's not made for the phone, the original charger, is also bad and will mess up your battery and the only way to fix a battery issue is to get a replacement oem original battery and take screen off to replace. Not fun... Hope this helps.

Before you do any of this I would backup everything to PC and factory reset your phone. See if after that you get better battery life.

Finally parted ways with Gapps after some bizarre happenings and now I regularly get 10 hrs of screen on time AND I feel more secure!
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] ParadingLunatic:
adding my .02 here. I'm absolutely amazed by the battery life. I don't have very heavy use (1hr 45min SOT). Took the phone off charge 34 hours ago, and I'm at 60% and it says I still have about 2 days remaining. It probably won't make it a full 2 more days but still. With my 6P (even brand new/after replacing the battery), after about 18 hours with about 1 hr of SOT I'd be around 50% or less. This is the battery life I've been waiting for from a cell phone!
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
Damn it makes me want to switch from my note 9 that I just bought haha
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] lendawg:

[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
The temptation lol
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] dharani811:
Started with 100 a day ago,

7.30 hrs of SOT, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING COMING FROM NOTE 8

30 mins camera

3 hrs of Bluetooth music

1 hr regular music in headphones and speaker

1 hr 4K VIDEO PLAYBACK on speakers

30 mins of file browsing from 1TB USB HARD DRIVE (15 PERCENT IN 30 MINS :) )

BROWSING, AMAZON and other apps

And chatting on WhatsApp regularly,music playback mostly via streaming,sync always on, auto brightness and no battery saver,WiFi always on, 2 sim cards and about 1 hr of voice calling. Bluetooth on for the most of the time as well.

This one is a beast.

XDA not allowing to upload images and put links in posts :(

I switched from Note 9 to 1+ 6T ans dont regret it. I hate the software and the curved display from Note 9.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] DaBigDM:
Wonder what your settings are lol.. I'm getting great battery life but this is ridiculously good.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
I just got a note 9 right before they announced they were compatible with Verizon. I love the note 9 and the curved glass. I debloated almost all samsung so it's real nice now for me. But....

I've always wanted a OnePlus and now I can on Verizon. The temptation to buy a 6t...I love their take on stock Android. They do just the right about of adjustments.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] hoevito:
Fairly moderate usage here. 9+ hours screen on time over a couple days with some scheduled shutoff in between at bedtime.

No doubt it'll go 10+ hours easy at this rate.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Aburel18:
Hey there this is my first full charge .I charged Friday when I set it up installed all the apps and sign in back from my one plus 6 .I let settle for a while , I charged full and fall asleep.now is Sunday and still got 5 procent . I think Vs my last OnePlus 6 is big difference. With my old OnePlus 6 I got just 4 hours with tweaks and disabled services and sync . So this one I think is far better .

I think the secret is to charged full and use it till 0 not to top up again when you are on 60 procent
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
I worked 17 hours of overtime last two weeks so I just bought a 6t even though I just got a note 9 three weeks ago haha ??*♂️

Do you guys get directly 1-2% off in the first 5-10 minutes after charging, too? Like Samsung smartphones?

[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Illrigger:
I had my first real outing with my T-Mo 6T on Friday, as my wife had day surgery. With internet access severely limited in the hospital, I ended up playing Talisman most of the day to keep me distracted. I hit an unbelievable 6 hours and 47 minutes of SOT when I went home; I only turned on Power Save a few minutes earlier when the phone hit 10%. Bear in mind this was around a 60/40 split of gaming and web browsing. The thing to note also is that the SOT per charge is over the 50% mark even with heavy gaming use.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] bp328i:
Guess I'm getting pretty good screen on time. Nothing special done, WiFi and Bluetooth on all the time, two Gmail accounts added, Facebook, I don't do anything to neuter my phone's.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] shremi:
How are you guys getting such good battery life ??? The most I could get out of my phone is 5 hours ..... Are you guys using auto brightness ??? Or the screen is dimmed all of the time ??? I do however have my Galaxy watch paired to the phone but I doubt it cuts the SOT for half of what you guys are getting.... I have checked the wakelocks and none stands out to me .... Do you guys think I should get an RMA ???
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Conrad7120:
This looks very similar to what i am experiencing as well.

Right now i am on 42 min screen time, 5 hours since full charge and 83% battery left, and i generally experince that the first 15% goes rather fast and then it steadies a bit. No gaming just, browsing chrome, streaming podcasts from spotify and checking emails.

Yesterday i tried testing the battery a bit running quite a bit of youtube videos, and got around 6 hours of SOT, but no where near the 9-10 hours some are reporting.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] trace1er:
Your cell reception plays a big part in battery life. I guarantee all the high SOT people have excellent reception. If your reception is low or borderline it can decimate battery life. Also have to take into account whether people are using one or two sim cards in their phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] jasons1004:
I think this is 3rd cycle for me...OMG

Otherwise nothing special.. damm

12 days in...
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sonic1675:
Letting this sit here. 8 days in. I found that switching off between chargers and charging it at random power levels (plugging it on when it's around like 40% or other random percentages) using different chargers bugs out the battery stats for some reason. Was using a Motorola turbo charger one day and got 5hrs SOT and a Samsung charger anther and got 6.5hrs. I found my fix to go into recovery and erase cache, power off, and recharge from whatever percentage, not necessarily from dead, to 100% using the stock charger then UNPLUGGING and turning it on which made my phone go back to the 7-10hr range of SOT. Also periodically erasing cache in general seemed to extend my battery life, but that's expected. That wasn't done today though. This is 2 days after the process I just listed with the powering off and unplugging. Of course everything I said could just be limited to my device so someone else should test this as well.

Coming from a Samsung galaxy s8+ and getting twice the battery life with the same usage
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] imatts:
My usage seems to vary depending on how often I game. Gaming REALLY affects battery life. Ive gotten as high as

11hrs SOT over a 50hr period

And as low as

5hrs SOT over a 13hr period.

Either way this phone is insanely impressive. These numbers have beeb based on light usage (mainly browsing/reddit/youtube) on a cold winter day. Dont expect the same 11hrs SOT on a hot summer day with light gaming lol.

This is the first phone that i genuinely dont watch battery life. I have the icon and statusbar info disabled lol
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] robbieast:
11 hours of SOT over 50 hrs since charging? How badly do you hinder and neuter your phone??

I figured someone might say it, just didnt want to combine the images and upload lol. Here you go sir! This was taken yesterday after not charging it for 2 days. Like I mentioned, I use my phone very lightly. I didnt do a single thing to the phone. Its 100% stock, I let battery saver turn on by its self (i think 20%, i dont remember), only noteworthy thing would be that I dont use social media apps, but the websites.

[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] reppi:
Does anyone else experience faster battery drain at the beginning from 100% to ~85% ? On other phones the drain was a lot less in that region, phone stayed on 100% after unplugging from charger a lot longer for example. Below ~85% the drain is normal again.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Conrad7120:
YES! Experiencing the same, at it seems like its both when idle and and with screen on.

I did a factory reset last night to see if that will help. So far i am at 94% battery, 15 min SOT, 3 hours standby.
