My battery life is rubbish? - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

I only got this phone a week ago, After the first day usage before I even had my own apps installed I knew something was wrong as I was getting better battery life with my old Huawei with a 3000mah battery. I get roughly 2-3 hrs screen on time, I come home from work at around 50% battery, on my Huawei I would come home with 65-70% battery life with same usage. My old iPhone 7 with a knackered battery performs better and its only at 79% battery health.
I've used package disabler to disable crap, I've even tried things like turning off mobile data but nothing seems to help
Device idle is the biggest battery drain what ever device idle is.
Any advice?

Just because you have bad battery life, that doesn't mean that it's a crap device . If you are unhappy then leave the device. Please do not spam .

I didn't say device is crap please get your facts right and do not spam.

Device idle isn't draining the battery, it just indicates it's mostly idle lmao.
Not this **** again, this is why Google moves more and more battery graphs and info out of AOSP, because people can't understand percentages.

What theme is that?

Yeah, this phone battery life is sucks. My redmi note 5 with the same 4.000mAh battery can give 8 hours or more screen on time on moderate usage, and 6.5 - 7 hours if quite heavy usage. This phone only give me 6.5 - 7.5 hours on moderate usage and, 5.5 hours on heavy usage.

Hi All,
Recently there was a problem with the sliding stripe of my xperia play. So i got it fixed from a local store.

Please help...
Thanks and Regards,

I would be happiest person if my battery can resist the usage of 8 hours.
Stats i posted above were without any usage. I charged my battery 100% before i go for sleep. And morning when i wake up battery would have drained. All 3 days stats i posted above are just over night stat without any usage.

What? My play battery lasts over a day and a half for the least. Thats not right.

this probably isn't something that's very helpful, but i bought a mugen power battery because i wasn't satisfied with how long the stock battery lasted, and now it lasts like 5 days. something to consider.

Which one you took? Mugen 1800mAH or 3600mAh?
But before taking new battery i want to know why my Cell Standby and Phone idle draining my battery? Even without any usage.

Hey dear.
IT sounds to me that your stock battery was replaced by a FAKE. do you think it possible?

I don't think so. Because i have purchased this battery 2 weeks back from SE service center.
My stock battery doesn't last very long as well. If I keep the display on all the tine with WiFi it'll only last about 2 and a half hours

You can try downloading BetterBatteryStats from the market and see whats REALLY draining your battery. If its the display , you can only reduce the brightness to the minimum and turn off auto brightness. If its Wifi , you can lower the scan time (iirc some options from Supercharger and Autokiller can do this for you) . That mostly helps if you dont have an active Wi-Fi connection .
However i think TC has a faulty battery...theres really only one way to fix that...
BBS can tell you what part of the android system is draining your battery , but i dont that will help much
I can generally keep my phone on standby for about a day and a half, with it not being used of course.
If you're sure you don't have a rouge application eating your resources, causing your battery to drain faster than it should, then you were supplied with a faulty battery pack. Margin of error is inevitable with mass produced products. In this case, you should buy a replacement battery pack off ebay or amazon, preferably with it listed as being the official/genuine product.
My stock battery was giving up after a year so i bought the mugen 1800 and with very little use i can prolly get it to 4-5 days before recharge but on average in lasts 2 days.....with very heavy usage like gaming for 5h and surfing the net for 2 its down to 35% at the end of the day so...........

Might also be any new apps you've installed recently. This happens to me all the time, so I go back and check what apps I've installed recently and remove them and that solves the problem. Or it might be a new rom?

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the ZTE Axon 7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
One of the better SOT phones I've owned since coming from smaller 4.5 inch screens. I easily get 4 hours on a long day (16 -18 hours off the charger). I watched 2.5 hour movie the other day and did some more stuff. In 8 hours, I had over 5 hours of SOT with 47% battery left.

Does better battery stats require root? Does it read system stats or does it create its own?

I don't like gsam because it doesn't read the SOT from the system. It records it's own stats.
GSam battery monitor allows you to see the stock android battery stats and screen on time from there by going to the menu on the bottom right, clicking more and then Battery Use - Built In. If there is an easier way to get to stock android battery stats, I'd love to know.

"BetterBatteryStats is calling the "batteryinfo" service of Android to retrieve data already lying there without generating overhead" and no it doesn't need root

What settings do you guys have setup? My battery is down to 27% after only 8.5 hours off the charger and not much video watching. How do you have your phone setup concerning gestures and everything? I use the fingerprint unlock and the double tap feature and so far I am not impressed with the battery.
What settings are you using? I'm barely getting10hrs of battery

Nothing special, really? It's basically stock, I just disabled some stock apps: Browser, calendar, stock email, Gmail, Hangouts, and stock messaging. Everything else is left alone.... I even installed the actual Facebook app (aka: battery eater) for the first time in a few years, since my battery can keep up now.

No screen on time. I am in an area where I get no service and was using WiFi, so today I turned on Airplane mode and then WiFi and it seems to work a lot better. though I still need to investigate is battery drain is bad when using the phone in normal service area.

This is the best phone I've owned in terms of battery life. With nova launcher and using nova's battery widget I can see my SOT. I average 5:30 which is alot for me. I have gotten as much as 6:40! This is all usually over 12-28 hrs. The phone is just phenomenal, just wish the camera was better.

I would believe it. I got about 5 hours in my last run. What I think ate up about 20% was listening to music through the speakers.. The phone drained faster than normal Witt the speakers on at max volume.. Which makes sense and is 5000% tolerable because how amazing they sound.
Furthermore, if I could get some stronger cell phone signal, that would help with screen on time too. I never have no signal, but I never see over two bars of signal either.
Sorry about double post.. Forgot to include second one..
Ok, I thought this was a battery beast but I think I was wrong. I don't expect any phone's battery indicator to be totally accurate but I've noticed that if I top the A7 up a little the battery doesn't drain *at all* for a long time. I've been letting it go down to 30% then topping it up to 40% where it stays without moving even while I'm streaming music and surfing for half an hour. Fishy.
I thought that as I was on about 3:30 sot at 40% I'd let it go down further to see if it would reach 5 hours. Three charging cycles in a row the phone has hit 19% and then reported that it's empty and shut down.

Lg g3 battery drain issue [ Tried normal methods % have screen shots ]

Guys im sorry but i have rushed a few replies to get the 10 posts but can you please not take this down i need to know if this is legit as my money back only lasts a certain amount
Ok so i bought a lg g3 from ebay, Its legit i have tested with antutu officer but it can get really hot and battery drains very quickly when watching movies and games.
My screen usage is always above 60% but i have screen on 30 seconds and 0% bright. My phone also says that i have used like 1000 mah at 50% but it should say 1500 mah.

Why should it say 1500 mah? The screen is not the only thing that drains the battery, you know that, right?
Running any benchmark will cause many battery drain. Don't do that. And that app you have to see the cpu temperature, 42º is not high for CPU. For battery it is.

What help? Get a new battery or go away from Snapdragon devices. And, the screen usage is about right, because i don't know if you know, but the screen you are staring at is 1440x2560, or 2K, which is an insane resolution, and crammed in a 5.5 inch display at 538 ppi, it will consume A LOT. And the battery is just 3AH, which seemed much, but compared to the S5, with a 1080p display and a 2.6AH battery, the G3 has the worst SOT out of the 2014 flagship lineup.

The 2K screen doesn't consume that much power. There are mods which allow you to lower the resolution, but you won't see much or any increase in battery life or performance (maybe in games it's going to be most noticeable).

Sounds like a bad battery. Quite possibly a reason why the other person decided to sell it in the first place. How old is the device that you purchases?
You can get an original replacement battery online for a few dollars. Just make sure you use a reputable vendor, like LG's official website.

Its brand new thats why i'm worried and i have downloaded a few battery checking apps and they say battery health is good.
But when i add up usage it totals lower then the battery capacity, they total up to 1000mah at 50%, when it should be 1500mah
Do you have any benchmarks i can try so i can see if its working right or its just me.

Oh so it's a brand new LG? How many hours of screen usage are you getting, what usage (web browsing, checking email or playing games?) and with what period of idle time.
Don't trust the numbers in the battery stats, especially in a new ROM. They are supposed to get better over time but I've found them to be wildly inaccurate even on months old ROM. I haven't really found an application you can benchmark accurately with.
But you compare with other (real) results on the foruns and rather you get the hang of what's the normal usage you should be getting out of a good battery.
Did you make a day without running any benchmark apps? What is your SOT? Standby time? Do you have location,wifi,bluetooth,NFC,mobile data on?
All of this matters. You shouldn't start right away with "I have problems with my battery" if you are running benchmark apps. Benchmark apps drains battery!
Wait a few days without running that apps and see how it manages. Another thing. The battery stats, the mah usage, not all of the things appears in the default android battery stats. And another thing, the battery value (the percentage of the battery), it is an approximation. Sometimes it could go up without charging, it is because it detected that has a wrong value. You could try charge your phone to 100%, usage it normally until 0%, until it turns off. Then charge it again to 100% and use it normally (don't discharge to 0% to many times, it just hurts the battery).

Streamed from the internet with at least 1h10 SOT, that is not bad. That is almost 4 hours SOT. If you have 1h12 minutes SOT, that is 4 hours. It is good.

Oh yeah, considering you even streamed the movie, it's signs of a good new and healthy battery. 3 hours of SoT with internet browsing is quite the norm, and 4 hours is on the up side.
I can barely get to 2 hours of SoT with my now aging battery.

It's not about the software side of things, it's about that my battery is old now, and that's why happens to old batteries, the just deteriorate.
Thankfully the LG G3 has an easily replaceable battery, and I have a replacement waiting for me. Not getting a phone on which you can't remove the battery..
And never found those apps like Greenify to really work, at least in the last few years of Android. The OS seems to be doing just of a good a job and I see no improvement in battery life. Maybe they help in cases with poorly written apps that are draining your battery in the background, but I don't see why would you use such a software in the first place.

Question Z Fold 3 battery life discussion

Hi to all F3 owners hope your enjoying your new toy?
Only query / disappointment for me so far is that battery life is nowhere near as good on Fold 3 as it was with Fold 2.
1.5 hours light usage today and I am down to 58% - mostly indoors and on WiFi
I expected the latest Snapdragon 888 to have as good of not better power management than last year's CPU.
What is other F3 owner's experience?
WhatsApp has been running for 25 mins and eaten ~30%? You have something deeper going on there it looks like.
Digital wellbeing is a battery eating feature itself. Turn it off and you will get more battery time.
I have similiar problems with battery. But in my case, it's Calls that take a lot battery, windows link too..

Believe it or not to today has been very light usage compared with a typical day
I have same Apps and settings as i had with my Fold2 so don't know what's up
Hopefully after a few more days of battery usage learning things will settle down

A completely different list of apps with top battery usage is shown with the 2 screen shots...hmmm
This happens with every release of every new phone. It always takes a few days for it to settle as it's downloading apps, settings, updates, etc. It's WAY too early to compare battery life. Give it a week.
Give it time to take a calibration and you to stop using your device not in the muscle memory you and the phone will develop.
Then they'll push a firmware upgrade that destroys all that hard work you and your new fold put in getting to know one another.
See Buds+ battery stat.
Only paired them with phone 2 hours ago to so recording 10 hours of background battery usage is quite an achievement
I reckon the battery usage stats are unreliable on my Fold3 ...
Estimated 15 hours on a full charge..... Spectacularly BAD if accurate long term
Battery drain (mostly standby) in first hour is 6%

Total app usage in 90 mins since coming off charge is 1.9%
Therefore standby drain is 4.1% per 90 mins. Not ideal.
I didn't notice a particular issue whith battery life on mine l nearly 10H of uptime with 35% remaining is alright in my book)
yah i definitly see what you mean

Hi to all F3 owners hope your enjoying your new toy?
Only query / disappointment for me so far is that battery life is nowhere near as good on Fold 3 as it was with Fold 2.
1.5 hours light usage today and I am down to 58% - mostly indoors and on WiFi
I expected the latest Snapdragon 888 to have as good of not better power management than last year's CPU.
What is other

yah but alot of time its not always accurate
I'm having a 6h30 SOT with lot of web browsing and gaming with mainly usage of the big screen so not bad at all for me
Update: today I put !y SIM card in another phone and used Fold3 on WiFi only
Normal battery drain and good SOT
Can only hope September OTA improves network radio power consumption

Thanks for the feedback ! I'll try disabling my sim (esim) for a day to see if it makes a difference

Accubattery estimates 6hrs SOT time is, which I think is a out what I got from Fold2. My previous high battery drain does appear to have been network / radio related

Question Network Standbye

Hi all,
What is everyone's Mobile Network Standbye usage like? Mine is 24% and screen on is only 13%, seems as though network is taking a huge amount of battery life.
See my post here for my take on it:
Battery life thread
My battery life is not great. Became worse after rooting. Better than my 4XL, but not getting "all day plus" battery life. What are others experiencing? 🙏🙏🙏 For some magic by the great @Freak07...

Mine used 22% in 12 hours.
Mine is high too. But after a few days now the battery life is getting better. Reminds of the old days when people would say you had to let the Rom settle. Haha. I did do a factory reset, turned off anything and everything I don't need. Yesterday I got 6-7hr of screen on time. Right now I have almost 4 with 61% left

That is 24% of the used battery capacity though and not 24% of the total capacity.

Fully understand, but with 3/4 hours screen on time and 20% battery left that's pretty bad

I'd say par for the course on this phone, it is a shock to the system after a year with a Pixel 5. I am used to having 60% or more left at the end of the day, yesterday i had 18% left. No matter how much i wanted Qualcomms stranglehold breaking i didnt expect such a huge drop in battery life with a battery that has a significantly larger capacity and i suspect many people are experiencing the same. Clearly the Tensor/Exynos chipset is a bit crap when it comes to battery life and Google has chucked all its eggs in the AI/ML basket.
