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

Ive noticed this phone loves to turn on the display for any reason it can think of. That is not the bad part tho. The default lock screen can be swiped any where, and in my pocket this is bad. I did a test with my palm to simulate the my leg in my pocket. If the screen wakes up for any reason, SMS notification, easy to hit power button, Low battery notification (this one i don.t get) and you hold your palm on the screen and it detects it, it will hold the screen on indefinitely without unlocking it if it lands in the right place.
This is what i imagine going on in my pocket.

I have replied to texts, made phone calls, even turned the flash light on in my pocket and ran the battery down before lunch.
I use this "pattern security" so I'm not threatened by this "unwanted phone call making" and stuffs like that, but my battery life still seems to be poor. I noticed that if I leave the device on WiFi, then it drains about 30%/night (approx. 10 hours). But last night I tried turning off wifi and data--> only 2% of battery percentage went down during the same time (10 hours!!). !!
What do you think causes this strange battery draining through the internet(wifi or data?)? The syncing, or some specifig program, or just the fact that it's connected to the web? it's very strange.
edit: of course I checked the battery stats, but there everything seemed to be normal..

I really have no idea. I had this phone since release and it's always had mediocre battery life at best. This is my second Samsung android phone, The original Galaxy being the first and i wasn't to satisfied with that one either. I received a new phone yesterday (Experia TL) so the i927 has been sitting idle. Before i put it down i did a factory reset and pulled the sim. It lost 45% of the battery since yesterday morning. Any of my HTCs would last weeks in this state. So far the TL seems like it runs off magic pixie dust compared to the i927 lol.

My battery can go pretty quickly when I get the l2_hsic wakelock. Around 5%/hr while it idle (though I do leave wifi on). It appears randomly - some days not at all, some after a few hours of being on. The only solution I've found is to shut it off and pull the battery for a minute and hope it doesn't come back on the next boot. Searching didn't pull up much except its known on a few Samsung phones. Does BBS show anything under kernel wakelock for you?
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.

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

Hello. I've recieved my mobile phone about week ago and there is one problem that annoys me. While the phone has lcd turned off, it drains a lot of energy. For example, yesterday I slept 7h and the battery decreased from 80 to 50%! I've tried almost everything, offline mode, aod off, battery saver mode etc. Any solutions?
Not that much
I think it's a lot ! I've seen many baterry usage screenshots and I was impressed. But mine is some kind of joke. I can't even use my mobile phone often at work because it's dead from 8 to 16, with all options turned off - aod, sync, gps etc. Also with baterry saving mode. Please guys, there must be a way to fix that.

Maybe try and disable bloatware using BK package disabler. It helped for me after disabling a few things
Unfortunately it did not work. I've tried everyrhing..
with only wifi and sync on, battery drains 3% from 11PM to 6AM
4G on
Wi-Fi on
Sync on
Over night From 12 to 8am is 2-3%
Not more.
there's a hundred settings for better battery life, putting apps to sleep, app background data, app data while data saving, notifications, permissions, etc etc etc....
Change network mode to 2G only. You will see standby consumption go from 1-1.5% per hr to .3-.5% per hour guaranteed. Obviously more drain if using always on display and/or other heavy features. Works perfect for me as my s8 is my secondary phone and don't need 4g.
ps. sot currently was like 6 mintues so didnt post screenshot of that, although im able to get around 5-7hrs sot with about 24hrs total use time. Also rom is renovate ice note 8 port ver .1 all stock settings otherwise. Also i got pretty much the same battery runtimes with stock or custom roms. Same usage with lte/3g/2g setting enabled got me nearly 5/6 hrs sot with around 16hrs total usage but really standby was affected by this setting change.

how much would it be with AOD on ?
Snapdragon S8+ rooted.
Not touching the phone, I lose about 10% per hour. A thirty minute drive to work, with Pandora the only app in use, it runs through somewhere between 15-20%. I've tried everything, including telling its mother and using the kitchen sink, but nothing helps. One day we weren't busy at work, and I forgot my charger at home. By 11am I was at 9% (that's after leaving the house at 7:30am) and had to make a run to Walmart for a charger. On a normal day, I have to charge it 2-3 times. On an extreme use day, I have a constant tether.
Not that much
I lose 3% or so over 8 hours of sleep. Make sure you go through your battery management and options to end draining apps when left in the background.
Stock US unlocked S8+
I'm going to leave my S8+ (unlocked) history so that others can relate and solve as i did:
Bought mine with a German ROM (DBT), and as soon i as connected it to Wi-Fi it got updated to QH3 (latest).
Notice immediately a "Android System" drain that would take over almost 50% of phone sleep time. After some days decided to a "Reset / Factory default" but same story, drain ...
Solution ? Flash different region software (PHN - Netherlands - G955FXXU1AQI7 )
Now it sleeps like a baby and "Android System" remains very low.
Imm experiencing huge battery drainage since the new firmware update......no clue why
Oh and my phone is warm in idle and becomes quite hot when doing low intensity tasks such as loading this site
It's too bad

If this true, I may give up to purchase one. I don't like to bring a power sink. And there is not always have a store that I can charge my device.

That's been my, my son's, and several other people's (in the root threads) experience. There are a whole slew of people that have great battery life with root, but mine is abhorrent. I actually went back to stock, and have been astounded how much longer the battery lasts compared to having it rooted.
Use Tasker!

Program Tasker to switch off all internet access, auto sync and wifi and Bluetooth. Once switched on, the phone will regain all functions. In a 12 hour shift, with occasional use, I lose about 20% of battery power.
I like Galaxy S8
This is best phone I every wanted. Galaxy S8 is best device in its own. No one can beat it.
I've been using my 3 XL for a few days with A AOD enabled. I've noticed a higher battery drain than most seem to have. At night (7:30 hours), for example, phone uses 7% without it and 17% with it, which seems to much. I still have to test it further but, what is your experience?
Those numbers seem high. I believe the AOD is supposed to be about 1% per hour. I think you'd need to do some more specific testing with the phone in airplane mode an no apps installed/running in order to get a true test.

Well, I personally get a 8-10% drain overnight as well with AOD on. I always see something around 91, 92, etc. when I wake up. This is for an 8 hour sleep> yeah I sleep for 8 hours.
And then, without AOD, man the phone is a beast when it comes to sleeping and stand by time. Just 1-2% drain in 8 hours.
The AOD on the Pixel 3 XL uses more battery than it did on my 2 XL. It needs more battery optimizations or something.
