Basically when I first got my phone it would loose maybe 1-5% battery overnight and in some instances still say 100% and I could get to the evening of the next day on the same charge, only using around 40-45% battery before I went back to sleep.
Now thought it's being a right git.
Took it off charge last night and woke up to find it only on 68% battery that's way too much drain overnight, in the processes 50% of that was phone idle, of which it used 60mAh.
Wifi was on but everything was disabled in the power settings, and I have left it on before and those were the nights i usually lost about 6-7% battery but never to this level.
I have no idea what's causing it
This has been happening to a friend of mine with his G4, and we were able to 'fix' it by switching the network to CDMA only. I know that it's not really a fix, especially if you don't have Wifi and use the internet a lot, but it'll let you use your battery for at least a day.

Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use
none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%
i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant
on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger
this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.
Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?
tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS
see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.
hope that helps
well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up
I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.
I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.
I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.

What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash

what do you mean time without signal? and cant flash the build or radio without root(if thats what you meant) im fully charging it now and removed all of my apps...and going to see what happens from there
I've been using mine off and on mostly text, web and speedtests for 4 hours off the charger and my battery is at 91%

Every night I charge my DHD while I sleep so it makes it through the day. The phone is always in aeroplane mode, screen off, wifi off etc.
Last night after copying files to and from my computer, with my DHD connected to my computer via USB I found it fully charged. I figured there was no point plugging it in overnight if it's only at 100%. So I unplugged it, put it on aeroplane mode locked the screen and left it overnight.
This Morning I expected a maximum of 5% drop in battery overnight but was shocked to fine 47% had trickled away overnight. I checked the battery usage in 'About Phone'. Very little was listed, things like Display with a time on of 4min, Android OS is listed with a CPU load time of 44s and 5.21KB of data sent. All of these are very small drains but at the top of the list is 'Phone Idle' which just states its been idle for 8hr and 33min.
So Why did my phone drain so much power overnight? These are the only things listed in battery use and none of them seem enough to drain almost half my battery.
I can comfirm overnight I'm sure aeroplane mode was ON, because I had to turn it off this morning.
Wi-Fi was OFF because I rarely use my phone for internet at home on my Wi-Fi, my tablet is for that.
The screen was OFF because battery usage only says 4 Minutes that it was on.
Anyone have any idea what's draining.
Try Battery Monitor Widget and look how many mA/h it drains when in idle. It should be about 1-10mA

After 1 hour of leaving it with the battery monitor with the widget on my home screen, it shows 13mA. Is this acceptable? Mobile network was on but not sending any data, the screen was off the entire time.
I will monitor overnight to see what the drain is like then.
Sounds quite okay. Don't forget to add the widget to the homescreen. Then you can check the history in the app so you can see how much it drained over night.

Left my phone is same conditions last night, only drained 7%, weird. Battery Monitor measures throughout the night 1-5mA drain. Seems normal. Just weird that it drained so much one night and hardly any another night.
Had the same problem mines was a faulty battery had htc replace it for free, they didnt ask for the old one back...
So I've had a problem with battery drain lately that has only seemed to get worse. After leaving my phone on the charger overnight, I unplug it to immediately get battery drain of around 25% on average. The phone will get hot and keep quickly draining unless I turn it off for an extended amount of time. Today was the weirdest problem yet. I unplugged it from a full charge only to have the phone instantly go to 1% battery and die. I'm running paranoid android as my rom. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
How long have you had the phone?
About a year now, got the phone last October.
So I updated my phone tonight and after it used 30% in an hour or so. All I was doing was using FB on it. Prior I played PAD for 15 minutes and it hardly used 5%. I've wiped cache, cleared app cache, and now I'm working on a full discharge from 100%. The battery is brand new and it was getting better life prior to the upgrade. So much for 3x better battery I guess?
After clearing caches I left it idle ofer night. It used 13% for 20 minutes of screen time. and then it used 3% idle over the 5 hours I slept. Still seems a bit high on usage for screen time but idle is great.
So I discharged it completely and now its losing power fast again. The battery was 100% unplugged it and turned it on and its 97%. So I turned it back off and checked it and its also showing 97%. Charge it back to 100%, turn it on, its on 100% but loses 1% in a second. Plugged it in while onand it took like 3 minutes to charge that last 1%/ No idea why. The battery is brand new and got 2 or 3 days on idle before, now it reports 20 hours. what happened to that 3x better battery? What else can I do to sync the battery properly? I also noticed 100% is not 100% until the phone tells me battery is charged.
Again this battery is brand new and my life with 5.1.1 was pretty good.
I've been having poor battery calibrations in EPH7, though my battery is still what came with the phone.
There are days I can get to about 5? left before the phone dies, and there are days it dies at 15?..
Already tried charging all the way till full while the phone was off, still the same. It's random, but I just generally expect the phone to turn off as I come close to 15?.

That sounds like a bad battery. I can get my phone to drain down to 0% before it dies, but the battery usage can be erratic.
After some testingm the first 5% (95-100%) does down fast but after that it can go a pretty good while. Not sure why. I left the screen on with max brightness, turned on NFC/wifi/bluetooth and just left tons of apps running and it took 4-5 hours to get the battery down to 20%. the life is in fact great just not properly synced. No root makes it more of a pain to calibrate.
So I charged the battery offline and it got to 100%. I switched it on and it shows 97%. What the hell has marshmallow done to my note?
last post. If I charge the phone formt he OS it reaches 100% seemingly properly and doesn't discharge quickly. Not sure what marshmallow screwed up.
I had the same issue with my battery draining quickly after the upgrade. I backed up all of my data and then performed a master rest of the phone and then went into recovery and cleared cache as well. Once it booted back up I reloaded all of my apps and reconfigured all my accounts and my battery acts normal once again. It was a pain in the ass to do all of that but it did work for me so hopefully it works for you too.
Has anyone else noticed that 100% battery lasts much longer than any other percentage?
For example, last night I had my phone charging while I was watching TV and fell asleep. When I woke up a took my fully charged phone and went to bed while leaving it off the charger. I woke up five and a half hours later with the battery still at 100%. I then used it for 15 minutes of browsing before it finally dropped to 99%. However, if I had went to bed with less than 100% it would have drained probably 1-2% in the same amount of time with no usage at all. It almost seems like 100% is really only like 98% and it can actually be charged to more than 100%. After it drops to 99% the drain rate is pretty consistent.
I actually noticed this when I first got the phone almost a month ago and at first I thought there was a problem with the phone being stuck at 100% because it stayed there much longer than any other percent.
Anyone else see this? It doesn't really bother me since everything below 100% is very consistent. I'm just curious.
Same happens here. I listen to music (bluetooth to truck stereo) for about an hour everyday on the way to work. When I get there it still says 100% every day. Then after about an hour in my pocket doing nothing it magically says 96%. I have been suspecting that the on screen percentage is not registering the drop in power for a short while. But maybe I'm wrong.
I remember the Nexus 6p used to do that, haven't experienced it yet with my pixel though.

I have noticed that as well. Usually, my ~30 minute bus ride consists of my phone draining between 5% to 10%. But when I have the phone start from 100%, it's never drained beyond 5% by the end of it. Must have something to do with the fact that the phone charges slower when it reaches 80% or above (which they only claim to prolong battery health, not battery life). Eh, won't complain about it :fingers-crossed:
