After 12A, I was getting about 4 hours of SOT. With 13B I'm getting over 6 hours of SOT, and standby time has seemingly doubled. Right now, my VS986 is operating as I hoped it would when I bought it back in June.
I agree Standby battery life on 13B is now ridiculous. First day I was still at 93% after 10 hours, I'm now going into Day Three and still have 58%! I do turn my phone off at night, but for my usage, this thing now gets about a full
day longer on a charge
. Has anyone dug into what Verizon did to get this? Some kind of way to turn off all background apps? Maybe it's a taste of Doze Mode from Marshmellow?
*Update* I have not charged my phone since the update on November 24th, and the battery
still shows 40%. I turn it on on at 5:00 AM, and off every night around 7:00. I don't have a
lot of apps, but do have a few of course. I run Location Services at High Accuracy, WiFi and Network always on.
The phone sees light daily use, maybe 4 or 5 calls, and not
too much else, on average, and probably have used the camera, email, texts, Pandora or maps less in the last 4 days than usual. But still at 40% charge after 4 days? Pretty big change for the better!
