Google Android Lollipop

Can observe the effect of project volta. Battery life is tremendously improved in this build.

I barely got 8 hours of backup time. But then most of this time was spent exploring Lollipop unch:

I measure it by screen on time. That's fair way.

I have no idea why GPS is set to high accuracy by default. I did clean install today without restoring any backup and location was set to high accuracy. That's a major culprit behind battery drain. No apps other than navigation require accuracy in few metres.[emoji35]

It does not show the uptime anymore. It shows the time to dead battery. Which is nice but I hate to manually calculate the uptime

 

[Technoholic]

Why do you calculate uptime? I mean purpose?

 

[Sushubh]

hehe. i mean just to get a basic idea how fucked up my battery is. i work from home so time is a totally different currency here. i do not have a schedule where i charge the phone at night and use it the whole day next day

 

[Technoholic]

Oh I see. But screen on time will still give you a better idea how much you used it since last charge. Uptime will only tell you when you last unplugged device from power source.

 

[Sushubh]

yup. my screen on time is usually quite low because i have access to a computer pretty much all the time at home.

I am close to getting 5hr 30 min on this very first cycle. On dev preview of lollipop, it never crossed 4 hours and 4.5 on kitkat. Its first time that I am seeing 5hr plus screen time. Its that huge improvement to notice. Can see that battery percentage numbers are refusing to decrease.[emoji3]
