Is it normal for my android phone to discharge this slowly?

Install Gentoo.

21:00 to 02:00 is 5 hours, You lost 36%. On a full battery you should get 13,8h SOT. Unless you can do magic, or you where looking at a black themed websites with an OLED screen from about 21 to 1 and games for one hour(over 20%/h power use), some reading is wrong or you have an external battery casing on.

If you don't expect any important calls, just discharge it down to 10 %. If it shuts himself off because there is no battery, a calibration is needed. Btw, the iPhone battery is tiny compared to most Android phones. I get 10h Sot from a 150USD Xiaomi phone while my last IPhone never lasted that long.

Snapdragon 400-600 series SoCs + 1280x720 resolution displays = extremely long battery life so yeah, it's working normally. Lower the brightness to like 30-40% and you'll gain like 50% more battery life over what you're already getting.

I have an LG Stylo 2 Plus, Snapdragon 430, 1280x720 panel, I keep the brightness at about 40% (when outside I raise it because it's necesasry) and I typically get like 8.5-11 hours of SOT (that's Screen On Time) with most everything enabled (High Accuracy Location, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi at home always and 4G LTE on the go).

People are welcome to pay $700 all the want for the flagships with shitty battery life by comparison, I bought this phone for $40, removable battery (what fucking flagship does that anymore, not even LG's own does now) microSD card storage expansion (can't live without it), fucking insane battery life where I plug in like every 2.5 days.

Fuck flagships, seriously, only thing that's missing from this phone is an IR blaster and I still can't figure out why LG left it out, all their other devices seem to have one including the original Stylo and the Stylo 3 too.

Maybe android was a mistake.

Maybe android wasn't a mistake.

Fuck flagships indeed, my iPhone 6 died on me randomly. All I got was a grey bar at the top of my screen and essentially a "fuck you" from the apple store.

You'd think they would do better quality control on $700 phones. I only paid $500 for my iPhone 6 but it's still a huge loss for me. I worked hard for that shit.

And while this Stylo 2 Plus doesn't have a massive community behind it, just earlier today I:

- unlocked the bootloader
- flashed TWRP
- flashed a patched stock kernel to get around the encrypted file system and also flashed SuperSU
- backed up the stock Nougat ROM for MetroPCS (the carrier that sold the phone)
- wiped it all clean totally (data/internal storage/system/cache/Dalvik cache) and flashed the T-Mobile firmware instead (since I use T-Mobile)

So, the only downside at this moment is that it's got debloated stock Nougat 7.0 on it (saves me like 1.7GB of the precious space on internal storage compared to the factory firmware), rooted, ready to roll but there's no Xposed for Nougat 7.0, they just released an unofficial build for 7.1 yesterday afternoon.

But there's a ton of devices out with Android 7.0 on 'em, we're just going to be out of luck since all the development focus for Xposed is now towards 7.1.x and 8, unfortunately.

Still, for $40 this thing is quite nice, 8 cores (wish I had a custom kernel to tweak all the shit to the max, the stock/patched stock kernel from Qualcomm always leaves like 6 cores at 910 MHz, it just won't any slower. If I had the custom kernel I could just fucking disable 4 of 'em completely then ramp the remaining 4 down to 320 MHz and get EVEN BETTER BATTERY LIFE.

God dammit, shit.

Well looks like you're doing better than me at least, I just lost $500 due to apple's massive incompetence.

Wish I would have learned about android sooner, these things are practically computers at this point. I even got a wireless mouse and keyboard to work through usb otg on my k20. Not really practical because of the small screen but still neat.
