Etisalat and airtel. The airtel seems to be failing once a while. Having switched to 3G from 4G there's an increase of 1 minute before I loose a percentage

Kindly check the SOT when you've depleted to like 20%, checking per minute na just wahala you dey give yourself.

I believe if you can average close to 5:30hrs SOT after full depletion which is usually not advisable, then your phone is very okay.

If others get something way higher than that on average on the same phone, then we can conclude yours is part of the few defective units if situation does not change provided you've done all the recommendations above.

nothing looks wrong wit your phone..
Turn of Gps and maps/navigation

now.. 1% every 4 mins
from 100% to 0% would be 400 mins of screen-on time
400 mins is 6hrs 40 mins.
Isnt that OK.. U no dey get light for ur side?...
Try to reduce brightness when indoor.. I hope u dont have battery apps like *DU battery saver* do uninstall them.. Also Get a powerbank... Update till there isnt any update left and do a factory reset..

Best of luck bro..

Thanks for this oo! Na like 10% depletion every 40 mins na. So what are we still saying sef angry
@iamspeedracer give it some time, do the update and take a cue from all the suggestions given.

And we must all understand that just because someone is posting 10, 12, 13hrs of SOT on same phone as yours doesn't mean you too will get same.
A lot of factors affect the efficiency of the battery, one of the important factors is the usage of the owner.
In between those 12 hrs of SOT are long stretch of video watching offline which always end up boosting the SOT of a phone in such scenario. Some even don't utilize mobile network, they use Wi-Fi.
Some people are in areas with very cool temperature and fantastic network reception.
At the end of the day, all these factors will add up together and translate into excellent or not so good battery efficiency.

This SOT is just a basic measuring parameter.. What we all do with our phones while on is different across individuals. Here is my mtk device doing well here too. Lol.

Google Camera mod Tutorial

The first step is ensuring you are either on Android Oreo which has the camera2api enabled by default.
Otherwise it has to be done manually which requires the device to be rooted.
In the case of a Xiaomi device, it has to pass through the unlocking bootloader to rooting process. Check my previous post for the tutorial on unlocking and rooting.

Requirements
1. Rooted device
2.Android verison 7+ preferably. (kindly double check this on the web)
3. Download Camera2api enabler flashable zip. (Flashable with custom recovery).
4. Download Camera2api enabler Magisk module in zip format. (There is a magisk repository on Xda forum full of magisk modules).
5. Download Manual Camera compatability app on playstore.
6. Es file explorer or any explorer with root capability.

*Since a rooted device is mandatory for GCam module, to root your device you must have installed a superuser which opens up the root part of your android system AKA root. Magisk is currently the most advance form of superuser apps which enables root systemlessly.(Kindly read up on the web).
With Magisk root can be acquired without being visible to the entire system.

Magisk method
Open the magisk manager app and navigate to 'menu' by swiping from left to right, click on 'modules' and click the 'yellow + label' below to add a module, this will take you into your storage. Navigate to the previously downloaded Camera2api enabler magisk module in zip format and add.
Reboot your phone to enable changes.

Custom Recovery method
Those with a custom recovery on their device e.g TWRP, Redwolf, Philz etc should flash the camera2api enabler flashable zip through recovery.

Root explorer method
For this example we are utilizing Es file explorer.
Open Es file explorer, navigate to the menu and activate root option.
Tap on 'options', select 'Device', select 'System' , select 'Build Prop', Tap Edit,
And type the command below:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

Click Save.
Reboot your phone.

After using any of the above method to enable Camera2api, Now open the Manual Camera Compatability app and do the test. If the result turns out all green, you are good to go to utilise most versions of the GCam mods available.


Google Camera mod settings

I personally utilize MGC Google camera mod on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon Global. Search and read online about other mods available.

Settings;
BSG Mod settings

Model: Nexus 6p

Config camera HDR: Pixel 2017 zsl HDR+

HDR+ parameters: the higher the better the HDR after effect and the higher the time it takes to process HDR after effect. Just select 'High'

Manual fixed black level offset:
Fix black level front camera: 64.00
Leave the remaining at default here.

Lens blur: default

Final JPG quality: 100%

Compress RAW (*DNG): activate

Potrait Mode on all models: activate

Increase the detail of HDR+ in front camera: activate

Restart app to enable new settings.

Part of this tutorial was gotten from Xda forum, RN4 photography group on telegram and contributions from other members here.
thanks for the guide. The gcam app I downloaded keeps force closing. Is there a specific one to download?
