That's very strange! I'm on OxygenOS 9.5.8GM57BA & generally get 10-10,5 hours of SOT every day!

When I received my GM1900 8GB/256GB from AliExpress it had OxygenOS 9.5.5GM57AA i.e. Global version of OOS. But, I wanted OxygenOS 9.5.7GM57BA i.e. European, so I've done Local upgrade & Factory Reset right after as many users have recommended here on XDA-forums. Next, I proceeded to set up my new smartphone, unlocked bootloader & installed Magisk. No other customisations.

Once OxygenOS 9.5.8GM57BA was released I've done a simple Local upgrade & no Factory Reset. All is great for I've gotten 10-10,5 hours SOT on both 9.5.7GM57BA & 9.5.8GM57BA. No customisations, just unlocked bootloader & root.

Would you consider to Factory Reset your OP7 GM1900 once?

~12h Youtube within 24h :cyclops:
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Yes, I don't watch TV. YouTube is all that I need for news & entertainment. ?

But, I've never watched 12 hours of YouTube per day. Max 6-7 hours i.e. it's on while I'm doing other things.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
Never got that close of 10 hours. I did many factory reset and hard reset.

I don't game, just few apps.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
That mainly depends on usage scenario and environmental factors such as environmental light, dual sim or not, radio bands, signal strengths etc.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] puppetmaster22:
Yes maybye this week-end if i have time !
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Nemeroz:
Weird man. Im getting always 8hr + SoT. Minimum I had was 7hrs or something. Screenshots are Today usage.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Here's my personal new record: 14 hours of SOT! :D
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
9+h is very good, especially with lot of traveling on mobile connection and dual sim
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] puppetmaster22:
I flashing the EU ROM 9.5.8 GM57BA, it's better than the chinese version but not famous :(

I'm dissapointed, i have à Light utilisation, very strange.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Nemeroz:
I was getting 8hrs + SoT constantly and since couple of days ago I can see a significant amount of battery drain like, now im only able to get 6.30-7hrs SoT. No new apps installed and battery usage doesnt show high battery draining apps either. Anyone having the same issue?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] puppetmaster22:
I would like to have 6h30\7h SOT :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Nemeroz:
How is your SoT?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Just read the last 2 pages ;)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] tony.venom007:
I dont know from where did you guys buy ur phone but i only get 4-5 hrs of onscreen which includes little PUBG, hotstar, browsing and lot of youtube.....

FYI: this is still way better than my previous phone so no complaints :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Did you enable all of the Battery Optimizations? Is Adoptive Battery set on? Do you keep Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Flashlight/Location always on?

Did you try to Factory Reset your OP7? Would you consider switching from AA to BA OxygenOS?

I get daily 10-14 hours of SOT on my OP7 & I consider it to be quite normal. Yes, there's proof i.e. the screenshots that I've posted earlier in this thread.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Looks good. But I never let my battery run to 2%. I maintain 80 to 40% charge discharge rule. I generally get 5 to 6 hours sot for 50% battery usage. Which is good. I use gsam for my measurements.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
What's 80% to 40% charge/discharge rule? Why not let a phone's battery run low?

Got a new personal record today: 15 hours of SOT! Hurray! :P
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
It's common knowledge that battery wear is reduced when not fully charging or fully discharging.

Some reading materials for you..

https://www.ecnmag.com/blog/2015/11/why-you-should-stop-fully-charging-your-smartphone-now
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
I assume OP7 is not your 1st smartphone? How long did your batteries last in your previous gadgets? Did you always follow 80% to 40% rule?

Common knowledge or not, yet people seem to be divided into believers & non-believers. I have never followed that particular rule & generally had about 2-2,5 years of good to moderate battery life with my gadgets.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
3 years is the estimated life time for Lithium batteries, then the capacity decreases or with over 500 charging cycles.

That's physics.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Yet, no manual nor technical documentation suggests users to stick with 80% to 40% charge/discharge rule.

Why not take full advantage of your gadgets?

I choose not to carry wires with me nor sit beside wall sockets all day long... That's my choice! ?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
You are entitled to your point of view, however my point of view is scientifically proven .
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] ciphoenix:
In some cases I used it for 9 hours straight, other times I had idle times up to 7 hours scattered in between. It's barely a month old so I guess that's contributory
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
New day, new record: 16 hours of SOT! Stock OxygenOS 9.5.8.GM57BA & stock kernel, no mods! ?

Thus, I wonder what my numbers would be with a custom kernel? ?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Dahenjo:
OOS 9.5.8AA w/stock kernel & rooted...
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
I have the exact same version and I'm struggling with the battery performance. Tonight I lost 22% while idle. I only use messenger, browser and minor app use.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Did you enable all of the Battery Optimizations? Is Adoptive Battery set on or off? Do you keep Bluetooth/Mobile data/Wi-Fi always on?

Finally, can we see a screenshot of your battery's detailed usage? Perhaps there's a certain specific app that drains all of your power?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
I have both battery optimizations turned on (adoptive battery set on and the other).
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Don't you know how to make expanded screenshots? We can't see some of your apps here & you haven't answered a bunch of my questions.

Do you take full advantage of Adoptive Brightness? In OOS 9.5.8 it works much better.

Battery --> Battery Optimization --> Advanced Optimization: Are Deep Optimization & Sleep Standby Optimization set on?

Did you add any apps to be excluded from Battery Optimization? Check your "Not optimized Apps" list.

Battery --> Adaptive Battery --> Use Adaptive Battery.

Do you have Developer Options enabled? Settings --> Developer Options --> Apps --> Standby Apps & check through the list here, play around see if anything changes.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
Sorry, I don't know how to take expanded screenshots.

Adoptive Brightness is the same as auto-brightness? Is in the top tiles bar in the brightness control? I have that enabled, the display adjusts the brightness according to the ambient light.

Deep Optimization & Sleep Standby Optimization both set on

I didn't add any apps in "Not optimized Apps" list. there are 0 apps there.

I have Developer Options enabled.

The apps that I don't use much I put them in "restricted apps" in the adaptive battery.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] nexuspur:
With minimum screen brightness, good lte coverage and whole day indoors?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Nope, I have Adaptive Brightness always set ON. Moreover, I find it nearly impossible to watch YouTube with brightness set lower than 30% for I simply don't see anything.

But, my wallpaper is black & white + I use Dark Theme in OnePlus Launcher. Yes, generally I find white text on dark background easier to read systemwide.

I never cared for LTE coverage & speeds. It is what it is. Besides, I tend to switch back & forth between LTE & Wi-Fi when I stream YouTube videos onto my Smart TV, etc.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
As complementary information, expanded screenshots
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Did you keep Wi-Fi always on throughout this battery discharge cycle? I can't see anything extraordinary in your app battery usage here.

Would you consider using some battery analysing app to check idle drain issue?

Are you currently on OOS 9.5.8? Did you ever perform Factory Reset since you've bought your OP7? Did you have similar battery drain issues on previous versions of OOS?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
No. wifi on just when I use it.

I installed an app to see that. I'll post screenshots tomorrow to collect more stats.

I'm on OOS 9.5.8. Yes, I've performed Factory Reset. Yes, had similar battery drain. It's the second phone I have. I requested a Replacement.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
I recommend everyone to use better battery stats for a deeper analysis of the battery behavior: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
It's a great app indeed, thank you! I've used it before as part of ElementalX kernel ecosystem on my OnePlus 5 & can recommend the BetterBatteryStats app for others! :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
Here screenshots about Las night. Seems to be the screen being using lot of battery while turned off.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
What can I say? You've got to check your display/screen settings: Settings --> Display --> Ambient display - What do you use here?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
I'm have only active the touch on the screen to wake and notifications turn the screen on.

As you see in the screenshot, the phone is in doze mode and still have a huge battery drop.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
If found with gsam and Android 9 onwards the wifi bar is always on.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
I've disabled all the Ambient display features and still had a battery drain overnight.

I really don't know how can it be. I had 3 oneplus 7 in my hands and all came with the same problem. I tried all, including several factory reset and hard reset, battery calibration.

I'm out of options. I appreciate so much if someone can help me out.

OnePlus 7, GM1900 with AA firmware

Autobrightness dissabled

Only WhatsApp not optimized

Ambient display on

Only one SIM in use

I work as Uber Driver and even there with Waze and Uber Driver app the phone gives me 7 hours of SOT. My previous phone (Umidigi Z2 Pro) only gave me 4 or 5 hours of SOT at most.

This is the best phone I ever had, the SOT is amazing. I love this phone.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
Alright, I did that.

Idle during 3h consumed 5%
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Please read the instructions carefully what requirements a idle dump must met. It's more than 6h of idling time and you should save the dump right after the wakeup within a few seconds.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
Sorry. Now it's 12h idle to make sure and it consumed 9%.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Thanks for the dump file, but your

Screen On time (): 9 m 3 s 1.3% is too high. It should be only some seconds as you should immediately save the dump after wake up, nothing more.

Please provide a new one :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
It was because of before I collect data.

Should I restart the phone and then let it idle for more than 6 hours?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
You can also set a custom reference point within bbs(3 dot menu, set custom reference) which makes it easier. That's what I do if I can't charge the device :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
Here it is. :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Thanks for the dump file. The 0.7%/h isn't that bad, it can be improved by having a look at your phones signal:

Poor Signal (): 12 h 34 m 28 s 100.0%

That's the main culprit imo. You'll have to check your signal strength and either switch to another band or better location/provider.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
So without the bad signal consumed 0.7%? The others dump files the signal was moderated and poor.

I tried with another SIM card and that solved the problem. Finally, after 3 oneplus phones, the problem is the SIM card :D

Thank you for your help.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Your provided dump file is 0.7%/h. You can make a new one which met same conditions if you want to compare with your new sim :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Shonilchi:
How did you optimize the Google play services? Are u rooted?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Lifeofwaley:
Finally was forced to get the OnePlus 7. I was waiting for the OnePlus 7T but unfortunately, my OnePlus 5T was stolen. I got this in China for 400$. 256GB variant.

Battery life was around 5hrs for the first week and I knew something was wrong. I almost returned then I noticed Google Service Framework was draining the battery. I had to toggle show system apps by the upper right in the battery menu. I could then find out what was wrong. All I needed to do as disable and enable it. And everything was fine. Now, I'm get 7hrs or 6hrs when i play pubg. I'm still not satisfied but it's good enough.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Are you talking about Google play services in that screen shot at 4%?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] hugulugu:
Google play services dont appear in the battery optimization menu. Im not rooted.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Lifeofwaley:
No I'm not. I wish I took a screenshot before the problem disappeared.

Anyways, this was the app showing on the battery usage. It went as high as 18%. I had to toggle show device full usage in the battery menu.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] razorsbk:
i was looking to get the same 256gb version from china. can you post a storage benchmark screenshot ? thx
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Lifeofwaley:
This is good enough?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] tony.venom007:
I have my wifi, data-pack, bluetooth and location always on cause m always traveling and spend majority of the time changing locations a day before i reach back home.

well i dont think u need an explanation for why my bluetooth is always on :p

All the battery optimisations are on. including adaptive battery setting.

I have noticed that when i am on data + idle the amount of battery drain is == when on wifi (data off) + screen on
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
No wonder that your SOT is much less! It has also been discussed here few posts back that cellular reception & signal strength play a big role on battery life of OP7. How good is your cellular reception? Is there an operator with a better coverage in your area/region?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Ast0:
40%~50% brightness with only Wi-Fi, very minimal usage gets 9%~10%/h... It's okay, but some people seem to get more. And my Accubattery estimate only shows 3400mAh, but of course it could be severely off.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] alese13:
I get around 8 hrs ?

A mix of 4g and Wifi, ~50% brightness, darkmode wherever it's possible.

Android 10 stable, not rooted, not debloated yet.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] alese13:
10 hrs from 100 to 0. It's incredible!

[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] suvisuper:
11 hrs SOT

Using Pie. Rooted and using only gravity box.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
OpenBeta 6, 8+h sot. 60% on mobile signal.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Didn't you use to get just a bit more juice on Open Beta 5 i.e. around 10 hours of SOT?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
If you traveling a lot on mobile signal and thus not within the same pattern its not possible to compare one and the other os.

On wifi, not moving, sot will be higher. That's fact :good:
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] BlueJeans:
Don't "downgrade" to Android 10. I used to get 12+ hours of SOT on Android 9. Now on Android 10, I barely get 7. And that's after a factory reset.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Yakia:
I'm having 3 hours of SOT on my OP7 Android 10.0.1 and i'm at 43%, should I be worried about my battery ?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
You can compare with other examples from this thread. Within your input it's hard to say if it's very good or bad, at least when you guess the final sot at actually 43%...
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Actually I got 9+h (10 for sure) with mixed wifi and cellular usage, traveling, Bluetooth watch, dual sim on OpenBeta 6
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:

Hey, everyone! I've got a small tip for you... You can get another extra 1,5-2 hours of juice & SOT on your OnePlus 7 if you enable "DC dimming" on your device & wouldn't set it onto full brightness! ?

Go to & try in for yourselves : Settings -> Utilities -> OnePlus Laboratory -> DC dimming & click on Activate. Done!
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
That's one feature I have enabled since it's been released
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Lucky you, mate! I haven't even heard of it until yesterday when I've accidentally seen it on a YouTube channel dedicated to tech news. ?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Is "DC dimming" available on Android 10? Can you people find it there?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
Yes, it's there as I wrote already :)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Thanks! I had no way to check it since I'm on Android 9. A friend of mine with OnePlus 7 Pro wasn't able to find it right away either, but he probably uses a different language on his device.

I almost got 8 hours screen on time mostly watching Netflix offline Android 10.0.3 GM57BA
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Is that your absolute best on Android 10? ?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Andronikou:
Well never got more than 9 hours SOT. Maybe because I leave the phone standby alot
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
No, I don't think that standby has big effect on SOT. Personally, I wouldn't settle for any less than 10-11 hours of SOT & that's exactly the reason why I didn't update to Android 10.

Here is my usual battery statistics being on Android 9, that's OxygenOS 9.5.8.GM57BA + TWRP -70 + Magisk 19.3 i.e. no other mods, stock kernel:
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Andronikou:
Maybe android 9 has that big affect. Android 10 ismt that well optimized
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] 11prathmesh:
Not everyone uses their phone for 10hrs after full charge continuously. Most of your screen time is coming from video watching which consumes a lot less battery (no screen touch inputs/ GPU loads/ lower cpu load) hence isn't really a big deal to get 10hrs SOT within 12 hours of full charge by watching YouTube. Use it over a span of 30-36 hours and see if you can go beyond 7hrs
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
That would have been a valid point, except that my absolute best on Android 9 is 15-16 hours of SOT. Yes, I have been watching YouTube, but mostly on those particular days I have been using Moon+ Reader & there you constantly touch the screen, especially if you are highlighting or copypasting certain things, etc.

Thus, overall your argument doesn't hold water. Android 10 should be better optimised in order to provide 10-11 hours of daily SOT & in doing so convince people to update.

Please, feel free to throw your absolute best SOT on Android 10 at me with appropriate screenshots provided. ?
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] blade35:
Even if you are constantly touching and copypasting things when you're reading, more than 75% of the pixels are dead(black) when you are using apps like moon+ reader and it still stands that reading consumes far less battery than watching videos.

Also, I'm totally convinced that Android 10 doesn't offer as good SOT as Android 9 but not everyone can sit on their phones for 15 hours a day with a single sim challenging everyone to get as close as they can. Watching videos and reading are probably the two most efficient things you can do on your phone.

Regards

Blade
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Yep agreed, he said standby doesn't effect sot - well hell in his case it sure doesn't [emoji1787][emoji1787]
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pycxe-01:
Please, take a closer look at those screenshots that I have previously attached here: 25 - 16 = 9 hours of standby, next case 24 - 15 = 9 hours of standby. C = consistency.

No, I'm not here to brag. But, I would rather advocate people to stick with Android 9 for now.

Everyone consumes their media content differently, according to their habits & preferences.

Watching educational videos, news & talk shows on YouTube is about the only way to get content in my language of preference while abroad. Reading was a passion of mine ever since adolescence.

Those were only 2 days example of max SOT possible to achieve on Android 9 whilst I was on holidays.

However, assuming that I do nothing else on my smartphone is a pure prejudice. ?

P.S.- Nothing can stop you or anyone else from looping a YouTube video overnight in order to test your current setup & system based on Android 10.
