Insanely great battery life on the V20?

Dumb question, but I can't figure out how to get notifications from Folio? All my other apps show notifications on the top of the screen and with red number badges, do you know how to activate this in Folio?

Go to "settings" and then "notification". You can also have a floating quickbar from the drop-down notification as well.

Best day of battery life I've had since I got this phone last week.
I have a ton of apps on my phone including FB, location on and weak LTE in my area.

Lol how?

Lol how?

To be honest I couldn't tell you lol I changed my launcher to the latest pixel apk. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but that's really the only change I've made recently.

hmmm, maybe I'll try the Pixel Launcher. I just love Nova Prime so much, and my battery life didn't seem to improve when I tried the stock launcher for awhile. I think my personal best for Screen on time is still only about 3 hours and 45 min.

Can you think of anything else at all you changed, deleted apps, used more wifi, used your phone in different locations?

My day was solely spent at home today as I took the day off due to a snowstorm. I spent more time on my phone than I usually do. Watched some videos on YT, sent some emails, msg'd on Skype, took some photos, listened to a podcast and browsed on chrome. I was on WiFi the entire time. That's pretty much it.

I'll get around 4hours SOT with the phone being used over 18hours.

I think I would be able to get an hour or more SOT if my email was not eating up 12+% of my battery on Aqua.

There was a new Google now feature that I accepted the other day, for better traffic notifications I guess.. And last night I realized it turned on my location reporting.. Which I think is why Google Services was so high on my battery list yesterday.

Dang, look at all your apps on the notification bar lol. You are definitely a heavy user. I'm very OCD and would like to close all those apps.

That's how my notification bar typically looks on my k10 lol.

 

[Centralboy545]

Don't even have Facebook. Just my Gmail account. Normal usage. Few YouTube videos. Mostly web browsing this forums. News, text etc. Really disappointed.
Have factory reset it 3 times already.

Could be a bad battery or wrong amp charger.

Just had another stellar day of battery life today!

Been chilling in the house all day and had my phone on quite a bit. 5 hours to be exact with 30% battery left. All on Wi-Fi. Mostly Tapatalk forums and Chrome browser. A few YouTube videos as well.

It's so much better than the V10, I am satisfied.

So much better. I think Android Nougat and the more efficient processor are the main reasons since it only has a 200mAh batter increase over the V10.

My battery life with screen off is amazing. Phone rarely drops a percent but with screen on and phone in use very comparable to my Note 3. Nothing to scream about. Streaming Netflix for an hour ate 25 percent of what was left in battery. Watching a 1 hour show previously downloaded from Comcast also about 25 percent of battery.

 

[RaRa85]

I'm going to test out battery life with Facebook and Instagram now installed on my phone and see if I still hit my numbers. I have only ran out of juice or got close to the red maybe once since picking up the V20 in November. Let's see how these two apps play into that.

Approx how many apps do you have? More than 100?

 

[RaRa85]

Took the phone off the charger before 3AM and now at 5PM I just hit 15%. I have been using the Chrome browser off and on. Hopping in and out of Android Central and Windows Central. A few YouTube videos throughout the day. Of course the Tapatalk app at least a couple times an hour. And now checking notifications in Facebook and Instagram which I previously did not have installed on my phone. Not sure if its just my phone but the battery life continues to impress me and this is with the second screen always on. Absolutely no complaints from me. And I keep my screen at 35% brightness.

If I decide to get a spare battery, I will never have to even worry about battery life again.
