Estimating the standby time of your device

Indexterm: "standby time"

Sub-indexterm: "estimating"

Standby time refers to the amount of time the battery can last when your device is

connected to the network but is not in active use, for example, to receive or make

phone calls. STAMINA mode, when activated, continuously evaluates the remaining

standby time, which can vary depending on how you use your device. STAMINA

mode is more effective in lengthening the standby time if you keep the screen of your

device locked. If you rarely lock the screen, you may not see much improvement in

battery performance.

When you use your device for the first time, the estimated standby time may not be accurate

since there is no previous usage history to estimate from.
