Wish I could figure out how people get these 4-6 hour SOT times. I usually get 3 hours with 15% left at the end of the day. 1 gmail, 1 work mail on push, some facebook(I've heard this is a big battery drain I guess), web broswing, texting, hardly ever actually talk on the phone lol.

Today was different, was using the camera quite a bit today. At 30% with 2:45 screen on time. So I take it its the data from web browsing and facebook thats eating my battery.

Some people might have different apps running than you, different brightness, you may have high-accuracy location services turned on. That kind of thing.

I've had the v10 and now the V20. Same apps on both. Doing the same thing on the V20 that I did on the v10 and battery life so far is much better. I'm guessing it's nougat and the 820 processor. Just my opinion. 😁

I think it depends on how strong a signal you get. Weak signal is a battery killer. Yesterday I got 6.5 hours sot but I was at home all day on WiFi. But I was on the phone a lot while watching football. Today with a lot of calls and GPS I got just over 5 hours. The battery is really good for me. I also close put apps that I know drain the battery. Like espn always drains a lot so I close it when I'm done.

How do you measure your SOT? WIth a third party app?
I use Gsam a lot, which shows it in the main screen.

I get somewhere between 4-5 hours on average. I listen to a lot of music and so I'm sure the dac eats up some extra power. I could see people getting 5+ hours under the right usage conditions.
