Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I am using GOS on my 9 Pro and getting very mediocre SOT, like 5hrs. And that is WITH the following modifications:
-
Play Service has unrestricted battery for notifications
-
Everything else, if applicable, has restricted battery and no background network.
I have 2 profiles but only 1 is active, the Owner one. The secondary i rarely use and I make sure to “end session”.
The main Owner profile runs default launcher, browser, some messaging apps, youtube, some google stuff, proton stuff. VPN is not on. Display is high res (lowest setting). Smooth display is off. All other stuff like wake on lift, tap to check, AOD…etc. are all OFF.
What is your SOT and what settings did you make?

The thing about battery life is that everyone’s usecase is different. Go into your settings and see which apps and processes are using the most power and see if you can kill or uninstall them.
If you’re not using Google Play Services, the apps may all be independently phoning their respective servers (because for some reason we can’t all get behind UnifiedPush) and killing your battery.
I have the 9 fold. When I use it with the screen closed and on my main profile with no Google apps, screen on time is INSANELY good. Screen open and in my Google profile it’s about the same as before I installed graphene.
Man I want a fold so bad but that price tag is too steep still for me
Got lucky, found open box on eBay for $990 shipped. Was in the market for a “work phone” and the graphene profiles sold me.
SOT is a useless stat. Battery drain is determined by the type of apps you use and the way they consume resources. Playing a GPU intensive game for 30mins will probably have a much greater effect on the battery than someone watching YouTube for 3hrs.
The responses you’re getting also are about uptime instead of SOT. Getting a real apples to apples comparison will be very difficult without comparing with someone with the same hardware/software/apps/usage pattern.
idk if you need this info for comparison but i have 8 pro and it’s usually 3 days with 7 hours SOT when i hit 25%
If it wasn’t tablet sized…
Damn, my 6 on stock android struggles to make it one day… Bout time for a battery change!
My Sister has a Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS and hers lasts more than a day at minimum.
Ive got an XL and am using battery draining features of mullvad VPN always on, and i have better battery life than that.
That doesn’t seem normal. You should ask on the GrapheneOS forum, or search there. There will be tons of responses! https://discuss.grapheneos.org/
You should be getting more like 1-2 days of battery life depending on use… I found that typically there’s a slight improvement over stock OS.
I have the 9a on stock and the battery life is not that great compared to my old cheap phone. If I forget to turn off GPS then it doesn’t last the whole day.
