"You don't need to de-Google your phone for this effect. Just disable all internet access (WiFi off/disconnected, cellular data off) and your phone can last a day longer." True, that's my experience too. As mentioned, I've well over a dozen unmodified and rooted Android phones and some of these have been repurposed including for navigation, remote control of equipment etc. I'm not a typical user, no social media, no Google accounts, no cloud storage and such, so for phones that aren't rooted Gapps are either disabled or where possible removed, similarly, any running services that I'm not using are stopped (if possible). On rooted phones apps only run when I'm using them, WiFi/SIMs are disabled and or airplane mode is on when the phone is not in use, also no background data is allowed etc. so I expect my phones to last for days without recharging. What surprised me about this Huawei is that it is six years old and the battery has been abused—left charging at 100% for days on end—yet it still managed 24 days on standby in normal power mode. No doubt it would have lasted a full month if I hadn't used it today.
