G4 damaged battery? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My g4 charges from 5%-100% in 1:15-1:30 hours unlike when it was new which reaches 2hrs. On deep sleep it drains the battery quickly too and I don't know what is the cause of it. Unlike on my g2 which drains 3-5% only on deep sleep(6-8hrs) with WiFi on. Also when I'm using it, max SOT is 2:30-3hrs only with 30mins of simple gaming only.

whats your battery life like?

I got stock os with all the fancy stuff disabled.
My battery charges 1% per minute when between (0-85%) after that charging slows down.
It doesnt however fully charge it usually wont go higher than 97%.
Battery drains 1%/h in standby
5%\h listening to offline-music
Today I had 6h 5 min with 3:54 on-screen time ( starting from 93% down to 2%.
About the same for me but I can do a full charge in 45min coming from about 9%
About the same, recent CM builds are better. I'm considering the Nexus ROM

At first i thought the battery life was ok, then i switched to the nexus rom for a while and came back to stuck because i wanted my camera back. There is a huge difference in battery life as far as I'm concerned. Stuck OS burns way more battery when idle but then again it has a lot more bloat :/ so it's to be expected
I get awesome battery life. On rooted stock with third party launcher with various tweaks. Way better than my desire or Moto g or Moto x or nexus 4 ever were.
Agreed, all other roms besides stock get awesome battery life. I've disabled or uninstalled as many apps as possible and the battery still drains unacceptably fast at idle. If we could get a stock rom modified to get the battery life of a custom rom that would make this phone perfect for me.

I consider the battery in mine to be working very well and use ~33.3% every two hours with the screen at full brightness and constant touching for reading. So looks like its about the same.
Standby is ~50% used in 48 hours with wifi on and background apps using the internet.
That's based on the apps I use and whatever they're doing in the background to wake the cpu, use wifi, etc.
Stock rom with the 'fancy stuff' disabled as well.

Overnight battery drain

I am getting an overnight drain of 15-20% with Wifi on
Its unrooted and on stock rom. I am not aiming to root the phone just now.
Mine is Rooted and installed a custom OOS rom. Still I get 10% battery drain overnight even with force doze.
My 2 years old LG G3 drains only 2% or 3% overnight. Same battery capacity.

Yeah, me 2 about 10%. I got everything on, wifi, Bluetooth for the smartwatch and GPS. Sometimes I read people have about 2 to 4 % drain. Even if I turn all the switches off I would not get that.
Also using forcedoze.

Yeah. Wifi and data is always on my device too.. But still 10% drain in sleep is nowhere near good. If somebody has any way to reduce this battery drain please post it here! :highfive:

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Sony Xperia XZ Premium's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
damn no reviews for this lol im just here letting you guys know that the standby battery is amazing went to sleep yesterday at 12am with 69% of battery woke up today at 7:30am with 67% damn my old lg v20 couldnt do that lol
It's quite bad here with standby drain as well. "Phone Idle" is always on top of the battery usage apps and it's probably a few percent an hour, depending on charge of course. >90% it's 1-2% an hour, but that increases when the charge level drops.
Stock .145 rom with storm//'s hack and have greenify running
Standby drain 0,2-0,4 %/h. locked BL, .145, Greenify.
phone idle coming top 3 with 6% took from 100% in about 4 hours! what could be causing that??
phone idle 4:11 hours
screen time 1:50 hours
36minutes of sniper 3d
7minutes playtube player while screen on (plus 20 minutes screen off)
I am on 57% just after 4 hours of use! while only 1:50 hours of them screen on!
phone idle for 4:11 hours took 6% which is a ratio of (1.5% per hour)
not good at all, what could be the problem??
I tried draining to 0 then charge to 100 on a straight charge while phone is off, phone is factory resetted, locked, not rooted, stock rom .119 oreo
what else can I do here?

I don't know but I have the same issue for months... Usually 2,4-2,8% per hour (when screen off!!) and battery stats not showing anything relevant.
I have everything stock, and I am using Greenify since a ~week, now I have 1,5%-1,8% on standby (which is still a lot, but improved compared to the previous situation).
Is really bad because if I detach my phone at 7 in the morning, at 14 I am already at ~80% without doing nothing! That's also means that using it, specially a lot with maps or things like that, I am not able to go farest than 17-21 :crying:

i noticed that factory reset didnt work for me, neither does software repair
so what I did was, flashed .179 firmware, fresh flashing, wiped every thing!
battery life was almost still the same, it got a lil better.
BUT, I am now using stamina mode any time I dont use the phone much, in my pocket, or even if im slightly using it (whatsapp, instagram etc...), I only turn it off when im gaming or watching some thing which is getting me to lose 1% every 4-6 minutes when using the device, and not losing anything when the device is off (as I activate the stamina mode) this should get me around 6:30-8:00 hours of screen time!
also I noticed I had viberation on navigation buttons, I also had face detection unlock and "ok google" unlock, and google feed and a lot of widgets and a live wallpaper, and avg running in the background.
so I disabled all of these useless features as I really dont use any of them (maybe rarely) and i can feel a slight improvement. (still slight improvement over slight improvement makes a noticeably improvement)
so now I unplugged my device at 17:00 at 90% more or less and now its 22:07 and i still got 56% so in about 5 hours I lost 34% while 2:14 hours, screen was on so its very impressive!
I can get to 6:45 hours of screen use which is very very good! im still testing though.
Nah i know its too late to write this but,.
For you all who have a problem draining battery even at sleep try Greenify Donation Package + Powernap xposed module
Even now my xzp still have sot around 6 hours with 15% battery left. With everything enabled like x-reality, auto brightness, mobile data.
Btw i'm using existenz v10 cusrom + DT2W Kernel

Every morning I check the battery & I get about 2-3% standby drain at max. So it's good enough I'd say.
I get a drain of 10-12% at night
3-4% drain every night even with airplane mode ON, I always get 0-1% drain with MIUI rom
~0.3% per hour when idle (wifi connected, 4G mobile network active)
Disable fingerprint - 1% or 0% at night

20%-30% battery drain in 10h-12h, all APP kill (wifi disconnected , 4G mobile network OFF)
when i try to see what app are doing that, no app appear. comes 100% to 72% and no app consuming battery
use 2 SIM on the phone, stock ROM (Android One)
Some idea to solve this battery drain ?
If your phone is draining more battery for no reason then try banging it at a solid wall, result will be no more battery drain (0%) and no need to charge phone again, feel free ? thank me later

Enable all stats in Gsam battery monitor (with root or ADB) and check kernel wakelocks. It might give a hint.
2% during my bed time without wifi and 4G connections.
In week days, I'm on the laptop so the phone is idle most of the time. It lasts for days.

It's good enough for me , at least 8-10% of drain is there.
Battery drain in note5 pro
There's no battery drain in Note 5 pro.
Sometimes 1% maybe.. sometimes 2% ... I sleep with data and many apps running in background.
I was thinking to buy miA3 but.. 4-5% battery drain is a huge deal?
However battery backuup in miA3 better than realme 3pro, realme5pro or maybe XT but standby drain of 3-4% is bad.
1% overnight with Wifi and LTE on.

That's amazing. Could you list what apps you have that run in the background?
Blokada, Bitwarden, Slack, Telegram, FB Messenger, Google Fit, Pokemon GO, Gmail, Calendar.
I bought it yesterday (30 Nov 2019), and posted my experience elsewhere in the forum. Just uploading here for reference. Minimal use, no gaming.

Battery Drain

Since the update to FVC7 my battery drains much faster than usual. During the 6-7 night hours it loose abt 10% and after around 8-9 hours of moderate use the battery rich around 20-25%. Better battery stats does not show any thing unusual.
any help will be appreciated.
I only noticed that Screen On time drains battery like crazy just having Display set to 1080p (Medium) and refresh rate on 60Hz (low).
For me it's "only" the display that drains battery very hard. Screen off time is pretty good, but I have a lot of Apps in Standby and Deep Standby.
But BBS was never adapted to Android 12 and Samsungs on Battery service is missing a lot. Look into RAM optimization which Apps are popping up that shouldn't do. Even if it's very low on RAM, if it's an App that hadn't been used since last boot and doesn't need to work in background, than it should go directly to Standby or Deep Standby.
I might be off, but as I'm looking at it: With (Deep) Standby option, Android 12 finally adopted Greenify a long missing feature on every Anroid OS.
