A couple of days ago, my battery apparently decided to go to ****. I used to get to 4 hours of screen on time (although most of the time it was closer to 3.5), and still have power on at like, 10 at night. Now, It's on 25% with 2 and a half hours on SOT (I used it for about 2 hours when I woke up, and it had about 60% on it after the 2 hours). So, in about 6 hours, it's dropped 35% with very limited usage. I have Greenify, and Battery Doctor, so I'm not sure what I should do? Any tips? I think there might be an app running in the background which is using it all, but the apps I have aren't doing anything? Any tips/apps I should try? It's only 6 months old too.

I'm using stock ROM rooted..school is 8 hours, I take it off charge at 7:30 and use it until 3:30, by 3:30 my battery is usually around 45% but today, I came out of school and I was at 67%, I've done nothing different today except instead of leaving my phone in my pocket the whole day at school, I put it in my backpack 2 periods of school (2 hours in total)
The first 20% drained really quickly then after, it started draining slowly, I was really impressed, why might this be?
I'm thinking it overheats in my pocket and kills the battery for the rest of the day, what do you guys think?
go to your battery staus and see what's being eating your battery.
Also, how long have you been running the Stock ROM? It usually takes a couple days for the ROM to settle in and give you accurate battery readings.
Signal quality....

So I just got my Note 2 this week and I'm only getting about 9hrs of use before hiring 30%. I checked a bunch of reviews and they were saying they usually got a day in a half with moderate use. How about u guys? How long are u guys getting of of your phone? Are u rooted? Using a juice app? Is an SD card inserted? How long does it take for your battery to recharge?
Use search button before opening a new thread?
I have to charge it in between, but I am always on it. Still the best battery life I have gotten out of a phone since razr maxx.

I've been getting 1.5 to 2 days on mine with my normal usage.
I spent a few days at my in laws where I used it a solid 8 hours near continuously and ran it down to 15%.
I was in an area of no cell coverage and had wifi calling running all day.
16 hours yesterday with moderate to high usage. 40 minutes calls, 25 sms, 6 mms, 10 photos + retouching, 3 app updates, 1 install and a total of about 3-4 hours greader/browser reading. Wifi on, 3g on, power saving on and sync on. Display brightness between lowest and 50%. Display on time 48%. 19% battery remaining. Stock international version, unrooted. No LTE.
I have no idea how long it takes to charge. Sorry.
Trivia: The word "Nomofobi" (swedish) or "Nomophobia!?" (English) has been added to the Swedish dictiodary. It is the fear of running out of juice on your mobile phone!
My nomophobia disappeared with the purchase of my Note II.
I hope you sort your battery issues out.
Question, those with insane battery life, are you rooted? The first day I got the phone, it had 16 hours before going down to 5% battery life, and I had about 6 hours of screen time. I wasn't rooted.
I rooted yesterday, and the battery life today was about 12 hours, and its at about 20% battery life.
I was curious, maybe rooting the phone has a parasitic effect on the battery. All I did was remove T-Mobile's bloat ware, nothing else.
I don't see any difference in battery life pre-rooting and post-rooting. I consistently average around 16-20 hrs depending on usage. Typical day use for me is to take it off the charger at 6 am, then I usually have 1 to 2 hrs streaming on 3g, another 2 hrs streaming on wifi - all using Plex. Youtube about 1 hr, maybe 1-3 calls lasting 5 mins avg., 1 hr playing games, and about 1-2 hrs browsing internet. I'm not a heavy texter or gmail, since usually I can do that on my laptop at work.
I usually don't put the phone back on the charger until around 12 or 1 am, with about 14% left. I usually have wifi on, gps on, sync on, brightness level around 10-20% except outdoors (then it's full brightness), power saving mode on, and screen time out at 1 minute.
I had realized that I had the brightness set to full brightness since early in the morning lol. All in all, I don't know any phone that would last all day with full brightness and doing all I did.

Thanks for the responses guys, ive turned on power saver mode and I'm starting to notice a difference. Hopefully I can get 16hrs like the rest of u guys
The battery life is good and stays longer by not using it or talking on the phone with it

Two hours of screen time and the battery is at 79%... Doesn't seem normal. Going to take it back and try and get it replaced, not root and see what happens.

I'm losing around 1% of battery every 2 hours when I leave my tablet sitting sitting idle with wifi on. Is this the case for most people?

I'll admit I don't my N7 yet, but that seems like over a week in standby. Not too shabby.
That sounds pretty good

That could be about right. Once I finished setting everything up Saturday I gave it a full charge. Between Saturday night and last night (Monday) I had about 1h 45m of screen on time from using it and was down to just 67% after nearly 48 hours of standby plus some good screen on time.
I took mine off charge at ~6:00AM surfed the web for ~10mins. I left it idle for ~10 hours and it was at 94%. BBS says 0.5%/hour.
I seem to be losing about 2% per hour at idle, though I'm monitoring it at the moment.
Last night (over ~8 hours), I dipped form 64% to 51%, today (over ~9 hours) from 48% to 33% This all at idle. The biggest culprit for usage seems to have been Google Play Services with a keep awake of around 50% (or 12 hours over a 24 hour period). Made some changes to settings and what to sync, am charging again, and will see what will happen. All up, 32 hours with maybe 3 hours of screen time (1.5 of that being Netflix) used 67% of the juice.
Currently bone stock. Contemplating unlocking/rooting though, since custom ROMs have done wonders for my phone's battery drain (from ~5%-ish per hour stock to around 1.8% per hour)
Hi,
I have a note 7 and for the past couple days the battery has been abysmal. Averaging 3 hours of screen on time. Also, the phone constantly gets hot (especially outside) that it has to lower maximum brightness to keep the device from overheating. With the phone on standby, overnight with always on display OFF, I will drain 10% of the battery.
Do any other note 7 users get this? I even drained 5% typing this post.
Go into settings-->drvicr maintenance-->battery then app monitor to save power

I dont have this problem. Battery life is pretty solid for me. Getting more on screen time then my iphone 6s plus!
Same here, I'm at less than 2 hours SOT and at 32% left. That and keyboard lag issues have me kind of unimpressed so far. At least I have a 14 day return policy. I'll have to see how it lasts during this work week.
Sounds like faulty units. I'm at 6 and a half hours of screen on time and 35% battery life remaining, on a snapdragon model. No battery saving features active, WiFi, location services, Bluetooth, AOD, everything on. Even watched a movie at 100% brightness to see how it'd affect the battery life. Phone stayed pretty cool although out.

That's the opposite for me. My 6S Plus gets >5 hours of SOT, the note gets 3< hours.
Sounds like I've got a defective unit. Congrats Samsung Quality Control.
I get around 5h sot time but i also have bluetooth on and a few other things. I'm pretty happy
Right now I am at 5h 46m SOT and have 16% battery left. Not fantastic like the moto z force, but much better than my S7e I dumped after a couple weeks because of the horrible android OS battery drain.

Here's my battery life. I've had the phone since Thursday. It's close to what I got on my iPhone 6 Plus. This was with light gaming, Facebook, texting, Facebook Messenger, Reddit and Tapatalk. Not bad if you ask me. My brightness is on auto, I do use the iris scanner and the screen is in cinema mode.
PS: I'm on AT&T with the SD820.

Replace it sounds like a dud. I get 5 6 hours sot. I went 20 hours 30 minutes from a 100percent charge at 1am to having 23 percent left at 9pm. 5 hour sot. Another poster says he got 8 hours sot. By using the medium power save mode.

100 to 23% in 20hrs while the phone was into deep sleep? that sounds like a faulty unit
I get 10pc per hour. V similar to note 5. Not great but i am a heavy user running BT for my LG smartwatch and wifi all day as cell signal is poor at my office.

I actually have had much better battery life than my S7E. Its odd but I think the slight revision of Touch wiz fixed some things. I also put Facebook and Messenger to sleep because they are the absolute worst at battery consumption.
Its worth stating that in week one, the phone is still cache prioritizing, cleaning up its IOPS etc. Not worth measuring for a while. But I am skeptical because My S7E was great for a while too. Its the sammy curse. Eventually you just have to factory reset to get your phone back.
Sounds like you need to reset your phone and start again

I'm not having this issue at all. I navigated for 2+ hours with the screen at full brightness and didn't burn up that much battery. I wasn't tracking it but if things dont get better for you, I'd say try swapping it out for a new one. You might have a physical issue with your battery.

Hello everyone. I bought a Pixel XL 128GB about six month ago. I'm running completely stock Pie.
Accubattery is reporting 70 percent battery health. I don't know if previous owners ever replaced the battery of the phone with a 3rd party crappy one, but as soon as I unplug my phone it drops to 98 in a few minutes. Then after a few minutes it's on 92. If I unplug it and leave it overnight for 8+ hours, it's on 92-1 usually. This is when the phone doesn't seem to radically drop battery.
I can get, with gaming, about two hours of screen on time. Without gaming, I can barely squeeze out three hours of SOT. I am NOT a heavy user, mainly web, Gmail and Facebook. No photos. If I actively take pictures I can barely squeeze 2 hours without gaming.
GSAM and BBS shows my top stats always as "Android OS" and "kernel". Unplugging the phone on 97 began typing this and it's already on 89. I have brightness about halfway up.
Am I the only one with such lackluster battery? And the only one who's drops down to 91 seemingly instantly? For a battery with 70 percent health, I just feel it's really lacking. Is it just stock Pie?
My wife just upgraded from a 6P to a P2XL and she's getting, with gaming, six hours SOT. The OG XL does charge extremely fast though so there's that I guess?
Battery on 86 already in just that typing... Am I the only one? Sorry for the rambling.
After uploading screenshots, 83 percent. ? These are just some I've taken. As you can see in the one, hour and a half SOT and 15 percent. How?
EDIT2: 80 percent and 20 minutes SOT

You can try resetting your phone and see if that solves the issue. Don't install any apps from the play store for a day and see how the battery drains. If it is still the same then you might have to replace your battery because that is not normal.
For one, do you play on your phone while it's plugged in? That is one of the main things that kills people's battery life. For two you can try to reset your battery AKA letting it die completely and then charging it to full with out using it, and do that for a couple days straight, usually fixes a lot of battery problems. Right now I am currently trying to let my phone die to keep my battery life healthy I do it all the time. I have 26 hours since last charge, and 4 hours on SOT, and I am still on 28%.
@snappycg1996 - have you tried anything yet? What helped, what didn't? I am having the same issue with my Pixel XL. It's got original battery and I get no more than 1.5 hrs SOT from full charge.
I know I should try wiping it, but really don't want to reinstall everything by hand and lose app data. The phone isn't rooted, so I don't know how to take a full backup of apps + data.
Pie, on-purpose, has made the battery life on this device utter ****e. Its only meant for newer hardware, go back to using Oreo, even there Google might push some services silently which won't produce the original good battery backup Oreo had. I myself get around 3-4 hours of SoT nowadays, however my phone is like 20-21 months old now. In any case, Pie is the main reason, other than the fact of your battery's age, for poor battery backup.
