Consistent 10 hour screen on time!

I'm on Android 10, OOS 10.3.0.GM57AA rooted with tweaked stock kernel and I get consistent 10 hr screen on time (12 was my personal best) with full overnight charging every other night, I can definitely get 5 hrs sot before 50% battery drain, I'm not running any mods that force gms battery optimization, or apps that force hibernate stuff or modify doze settings, my usage is moderate with mixed WiFi and mobile data usage. According to fk kernel manager's battery monitor my active use is between 6.50% and 7.50% per hour (down from above 10% per hour before tweaks) and my idle use is between 0.35% and 0.55% per hour (down from over 1.50% per hour). I know everyone's usage is different but I think my tweaks should help most people. I'm a car mechanic by trade and love solving problems, and while this phone's battery life is a huge improvement over my essential ph-1 I still thought it could be better. I began my journey with custom kernels like most of you, then I began to note down differences between settings that each kernel had and from there deduced which ones affected power efficiency, I studied what settings the Lspeed magisk modeule made. After all this I began researching what those settings actually did, I poured over Google's device git, I read Linux kernel case studies about the schedutil scheduler and its settings and that's how I came up with my tweaks. I think where people get lost is in the timer settings, the processor's time dialation is different from ours and maybe that's where people get confused with the different nanosecond timers and what effect they have on our perception. I used the time of the average blink of an eye, 100 ms, as my reference point for modifying the scheduler timers, I think that for most use case scenarios google has grossly reduced timers to reduce latency which is supposed to battle lag, in my opinion this creates a lot of overhead that eats into power consumption, calculations are done way too many times before we even see a change on our screen. That's when I set out to reach a balance in timer settings that will let the CPU do what it needs to do in our perceived time instead of its perceived time, I based my settings around milliseconds instead of nanoseconds and it really made a difference. I hope someone with more understanding reads this and can further improve on this concept or prove it wrong. I really would like to share my settings and screenshots and my reasoning, but it's a lot of work with my already busy day to day life. I will do it if there is enough interest especially from someone who has a more intimate knowledge of the Linux EAS kernel.

Sounds awesome & you went the extra mile to explain us what is it exactly that you've tweaked. But, we want screenshots as proof!

I was worried at first that battery % was doing so fast but I've realized its not an accurate decline. For example, I'm consistently watching +3hrs of TV after the 15% warning (screen auto, Bluetooth, night mode off) and still having 5% left.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] slst:
I hardly get 4 to 5 hours of sot. I don't have any social apps except whatsapp, telegram. Mostly I watch YouTube or movies. Initially it used to be great but seems like after few updates battery started running out quicker. Can anyone please help.

I am really interested but I am a bit of rookie
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] blade35:
Even i'm interested mate. This sounds amazing!! Never have experienced such great battery life but i'm a bit of a rookie too.

Only if you mind sharing your kernel. Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pawelmiernik:
The kernel is stock on OOS 10.3.0 global version. And it's just a few settings I've changed in the scheduler and governor. I tried to share my settings but I got laughed out by the community saying that my settings don't make a difference and I don't know what I'm talking about and that my screenshots are fake or manufactured in some way. They're not. As you can see my op is quite old. Feeling discouraged I just keep my settings to myself and enjoy great battery life. All I can say is that I've only been able to achieve this on OOS 10.3.0, once I upgraded to 10.3.1 I experienced horrible battery life along with everyone else, and after a few days I downgraded back to 10.3.0.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] blade35:
Honestly, I don't know quite a lot about scheduler but as far as I know about governor settings, changing their specific parameters does help and I fail to see a world where changing governor settings would be of no use. Would you please care to share those screenshots cause that would be great. Thanks in advanced. Cheers?

Ohh you got me wrong there. You've posted your screenshots above, I saw them and I trust you. What screenshots I am asking for are the tweaks that you've done in your governor settings and boost scheduling.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] blade35:
Thanks a lot man really!!

I can't comment on the overnight drain cause I had a fresh oos install yesterday from a custom rom with the latest Google app and the overnight idle drain was surprisingly low at about 2% for around 8 hours.

I'm using blue spark kernel and not stock.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] pawelmiernik:
That's great!

I'm gonna add one last note about the task scheduler kernel.sched_tunable_scaling. There are three values available, but FKM only allows two for enable and disable. That's why I use a script. The three values are 0 for off, 1 for logarithmic scaling of scheduler values based on load, and 2 for linear tuning of values based on number of cores. With my settings that I have I noticed that 1 improves performance quite a bit with a penalty to power consumption, but even with severe underclocking of the cpu cores with 1 apps launch faster than I've ever experienced on any device, and the overall response of the device is super fast. With sched_tunable_scaling set to 2 is where I noticed the power savings, the device behaves normal, but my active use usually hovers at around 6.5% to 7.5% per hour.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] zioloiso:
Your cfg works on 7T, you maybe have update? :p
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Sahinoglu:
MIUI normally has pretty bad values in terms of battery performance. (Active ~ 17, idle 2-3) I have applied the suggestions and additionally made a few changes to the frequency values. Surprisingly, the idle to Active 11 dropped down to 0.24. Really good!!! Can you explain what is in the screenshot I shared so that you can have more information?

Yes. That's a lot for that settings. Are you rooted? Use betterbatterystats app to check what caused it.

Not rooted
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Lolakis13:
Yeah mine has bad standby drain as well. My previews phone, Nexus 6p, from Android Nougat and later , used to drain just 1% over 8 hours of sleep.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Xebeck:
.

.

My 2xl used to have a flat ****ing line bro....

Literally 0% over night.

Never gotten over that still
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Lolakis13:
Yeah something is going on with this one . I can confirm that mine OnePlus 7 is draining exactly 5% of battery!
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] 11prathmesh:
Please understand that this device is just released and OS is not fully optimised yet. I'm sure oneplus will address the issues with upcoming updates. You're previous device must have gone through lot of updates to fully eliminate the bugs to achieve those results
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Lolakis13:
Hmm it's not that simple ... Some updates as the one for my previews phone that did that 1% of draining passes through newer phones... As you've noticed my phone was Nexus 6p from 2015 realeased date and the other guy mentioned the same thing for the pixel 2xl whose realeased date was two years later. So having been said that thing, it means older phones of OnePlus have the same behavior or probably worse than the 7 but any has as good as Google phones for example. I hope they will fix it as you've said though
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] sebastgs:
Getting 2% drain overnight, rather consistently. WiFi on, BT/4G off. On newest OS version 9.5.5
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Amar.B:
Mine drained 3% after 8 hours of standby 4G volte is on WiFi on and everything else is switched off.. coming from s8 plus i consider this as a great standby [emoji28], usually my s8 plus will drain around 5 to 7% after 8 hrs of standby
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Deleted member 5408779:
Never tested how much standby drain I get at night but compared to the Mi9 it's much better!
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] 97pratyush:
Don't know what's happening, but I'm losing more than 30-35% from 3-4 days. Phone's not rooted, so I'm having tough time to find culprit.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Iori Yagami:
Same setting on OP7, overnight drop 8% at latest, even already enabling battery saver mode, only installing 14 apps, a little bit disappointing.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
4% within 7h44m = 0.5%/h:good: overnight with dual sim mobile network enabled, wifi off.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Nemeroz:
I had like 3% drop on 4.30hrs overnight. Usually sleep at 1.00AM and wake up at 5.30AM, went on 79%, woke up on 76%. Dual sim on, Wifi On. mobile data bluetooth and all other connectivity settings are turned off.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] rafael667:
I still get 7% of drain overnight. It doesn't get any better.

Today I left the wifi on and drained 13%.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] strongst:
0.3%/h, same setup
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Ast0:
Accubattery stat shows 0.5%/h. I guess average for Android, but not particularly great.

First phone I've had that can endure almost 4 hours of solid Pokemon Go (3 hours community day plus about an hour sorting out the spoils and evolving them to get the special move before the hour is up) not only that but also had like 25% battery left afterwards. Very impressed, I didn't think any phone could do that.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] hugulugu:
6 hours of SOT with Waze and Uber Driver. Amazing!
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] RaduNastase:
3 hours and 15 minutes from 100% to 15% (when battery saver automatically kicks in....wish there was a way to disable this), playing Retroarch emulator with some of the most intensive CPU games around (Espgaluda 2, Dodonpachi Daiffukatsu, Deathsmiles). The CPU stays at full speed and the phone gets quite warm overtime, but the games are very smooth ;)
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] asc366:
But, you actually have like 4 hours SOT (and 25% left, so in total maybe 5 if you kept playing).
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Cloudane:
Yes and that's very good for Pokemon Go. It's a very thirsty app normally and no other phone I've had has managed more than a couple of hours SOT with it. I guess the GPS chip must be quite efficient on this device, and the SOC just powerful enough that PoGo doesn't really bother it.

Hello all!

Im looking for some tiny, handy and preferably free "connectin-thingy" tool for my machine. Practically it should display the current connection method on my today screen aswell as the speed of the capable data transfer, either in realtime, frequently refreshed or on a click if it otherwise would leech to much bandwidth.

Sadly my hands are bound, cause im limited to those few keywords.

Should be compatible with WM 6.1.

Thanks in advance,

Real.

IP Dashboard, customizable and simple. I'm now using it on my Smartphone as well (WM6.1Pro)

IP Dashboard

Thanks for the reply!

The programm comes even closer to what im looking for. Just that im in need of a tool, that display the signal strenght in size, not percent, directly on the today screen.

Also all the options aren't necessary to my needs, since those in english anyways, and I've couldnt find a german add on, doubt there exists one.

Perfect would be an today screen add in a single line providing information about the current connection method and its capable data transfer speed or signal strenght in data size.

Seems like there is no such tool, but its so simple and very handy...

[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Cloudane:
Everything vs. my s9 has been a big upgrade except wireless charging (meh) and this (Absolutely awful, massive downgrade)

Considering I largely bought it for a better experience with Pokemon Go and Ingress, not noticing the poor brightness was a bit of a mistake... on a nice day it's barely usable...
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] silverkin:
Gonna confirm what [MENTION=4632365]Cloudane[/MENTION] said.

Outdoor visibility sucks compared to my previous phone (s8), but I hope because lower brightness it won't get burn in like s8 did.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Cloudane:
It does have the benefits of lower screen burn risk and longer outdoor battery life admittedly so it's not all bad, just a bit of a shock coming from an s9. I also don't think the factory screen protector helps, it's relatively opaque (you can tell at the edges) and causes a lot of glare. I'm wondering if the bare screen has an anti reflective coating but have a glass protector on the way which should at least improve it.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] moneytoo:
Same here. It's noticeable downgrade in outdoor visibility for me coming from Samsung Galaxy S7. It's still usable but my S7 was just better outdoor.
[OnePlus 7 Real Life Review] Cloudane:
A little re-evaluation: In fairness, whilst it's not on par with a Samsung screen outdoors, I was using it on some very sunny days at the weekend and it was still adequately usable. Pokemon Go (light background) was easier to see than Ingress Prime (dark background). It was only a problem when angled so that the display is directly facing the sun, a problem that can be solved by moving slightly :)

Also it seems there's no polarising filter which probably doesn't help matters but there's a positive to that: I was able to wear polarising sunglasses without them 'interfering' as they do on some other phones. I found no difference in visibility with the glasses on or off.

Getting rid of that factory fitted screen protector and installing a glass one also helped a bit. The factory one gets all smudged up.
