Wifi:
My wifi drops when the phone is in stamby for a long time. Example: if I do not use my phone for an hour, wifi drops even if I do not have stamina. Is that normal?
Battery:
My battery is ok. It only slows down too fast when I chat or use kik or whats app. I also noted that the first 10% drains immediately while from the 50% it drains more slowly. Is that normal?
Draining yes,wifi i don't know i had it turnd on all night didn't drop at least i think it didn't...

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...
Hi... I have an Xplay rooted on 2.3.4 and removed light bloatware, but still my battery drains fast...
I must charge phone every day and I dont use a lot of heavy gamming... I only play in bed at night and normaly to drain the rest of the battery before charging.
I almost never use 3G, but have always wifi turned on...
So, resuming, my battery only lasts about 12h-14h per day...
As you can see, in the attachemt I have 2 times the same thing (portuguese language, but will translate):
- Inactividade do telefone 28% (Inactivity off phone)*
- Wi-Fi 21%
- Telefone inactivo 15% (Phone inactivity)*
* This 2 things arent the same?
I have a few questions:
1º - I have read about people who can have phone about 2 or 3 days, others with 20h or more. What is the most accurate and normal on this phone?
2º - If wi-fi always turned on, will drain battery?
3º - Why most off % is used when phone is inactivity?
Sometimes the phone dont loose battery when "sleeping" (it take 2h to loose 1%), but other times, when sleeping, battery drains 10% or more in one hour. I have read about a bug in Android OS that drains battery when phone sleeping. Does this bug applys in ALL ANDROID phones, or only Samsung? Read it on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290020
If I charge phone every day will get battery "addicted"?
One thing im shure: the 3 first itens on the screenshots are draining my battery whitout a reason (i can understand wi-fi, but can't understand why 2 things saying phone inactivity, uses 43% of battery)
In that screenshot, battery is on 60%, so I losted 40% in 6hours with 20 minutes of gaming... and on those 6 hours, almost half, phone was "sleeping", again, it shouldnt drain battery when sleeping.
Thanks in advance for your help
What's shown as draining your battery the most is your phone's cell standby (your 3G & 2G network, or 4G if you have it). The third on the list describes your phone when it's not in use (screen off). Don't worry about that one, a higher % only means your phone is often in standby.
Having Wi-Fi on will often use more battery than using your phone's own network. To save even more battery, turn off 3G connectivity when you're not using it (you will still receive calls, just no internet, but you use Wi-Fi anyway).
Charging your phone every day is perfectly fine, just make sure you unplug it once it hits 100%. If you leave it plugged in while it's fully charged, it gets bad for the battery after a while.
That article about the battery drain in standby is likely just for Samsung devices. What is likely draining your battery are apps and services that run in the background and use the internet while in standby.

95% of the time, 3G connection is OFF. I use Wi-fi connections, because I have many hotspots for it...
I don't have many APPs and the ones that I have installed (non-stock apps), dont run in background.
Today, I turned off wi-fi, and only turned on when need, and for more than 2 hours, only losted 1% of battery (have takken photos, and made phone calls only).
After this I used wi-fi for 20 minutes, and losted 8% off battery. So I think, Wi-fi is the problem. Please correct me if im wrong:
- If I have wi-fi always on, phone is always searching for wi-fi connections, even when sleeping, so battery drains much faster.
As you can see on the screenshot, with no wi-fi, for a little bit more than 2hours, only 1% of battery losted
Well you answered your question. Wifi is the problem. If it searches for wifi networks all of the time the battery will surely drain.
Definitely Wifi. It absolutely murders my battery when I forget to turn it off when I'm not using it.
Yes... for shure... its crazy like hell... lol... half an hour playing... half an hour surfing (youtube for my son... i put videos for him, once in a while)... and wi-fi drained more battery than gamming (FIFA 2010, Angry Birds, Spider-Man... also my son played)... funny thing, he has 20 months old, and love Xplay, more than me...
So... the hole day, I kept wi-fi turned off, and only turn it on, when needed... more than 12h latter, still have 62% off battery... and for the first time, will not charge this night...
Was so simple, as turning wi-fi off... check the screens...
Thanks all that helped
I got my Gnex a couple weeks ago, and installed JB as soon as I got it. I'm currently running one of the unofficial CM10 builds, but near as I can tell this happens on all ROMs I've used (all JB).
Basically, using wifi drains the battery at a drastically higher rate than using the HSPA+ (3G) network, especially while idle. What's more, this extra drain is not reflected in the battery statistics, where wifi is never even listed.
For example, if I leave my phone unplugged overnight with wifi on, nearly half the battery will have drained by morning. If I turn wifi off, and just leave the mobile data on, only around 10% of the battery will have drained.
The wifi works just fine, and actually gets better range than any of my other devices, it's just that the battery seems to drain unreasonably fast with it on.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is data being transmitted constantly?
If it is occurring with various ROMs, perhaps there is an (or multiple) application(s) syncing only over wifi.
I leave my WiFi on over night and have never notice a severe drain.

Its not your WiFi its an app or improper configuration somewhere. Our WiFi goes in to a very low power state when idle. Search for betterbatterystats and use it to check for wake locks - this should tell you exactly what's happening.

This only happens when its turned on, when i charge it while its turned off and turn it on after fully charging, it stays 100% for quite a while.
Also usually when im not doing too much on the device the battery lasts a good week.
Couldn't find any faulty services on the battery usage, i also close apps in the background when im done using them/not using them for next few hours.
edit: this drain happens while doing nothing on the device, within like 30 minutes, from there on it drains normally like a percent per hour in idle at most
That is the most vague question I've seen in a while. What are you doing when the battery is draining until 85%? That is the right question. If you have data on and you are using the phone it can happen in 30 min or so
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA-Developers mobile app
well, nothing, i guess i didnt make it obvious enough, i remove the charger and 30 min later i check again its below 90% or 85% already but from there on it drains normally as in not much at all in idle
maybe like a percent per hour or so, not exactly sure
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 Xiaomi Mi A3'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!
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.
