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
guys i want to know if the battery life of your lumia 900 is good? mine sucks, I got the phone about 10 days ago, I find the battery drains very fast. normally the first 3-4 hours are good, but then it will drop like 20% within 30 minutes, then drains very fast, after around 10 hours it's only 20%ish. I use the phone in normal way, check emails as they arrive (about 20 emails a day), text 10-20, phone call 20-30mins, that's all.
I live in UK. first time I launch Nokia Music it stopped response, I had to reset my phone for it to work properly.
is this normal? what should I do to improve the battery life?
I found the battery life alot better on the 900 than my Titan and Lumia 800, I have 2 email accounts on sync every 15 mins and just a weather app running in background, I have tried hard to run the battery out in a day of heavy use and just managed it, It can depend greatly on how strong your signal is from your Network provider as if it has to struggle to find 3G or keep switching then this will drain the battery more, Maybe change email sync to either every 15 min or 30 min to see if that helps, Screen time-out at 30 secs and dark theme can also help conserve power, Check background tasks in settings and switch off unnecessary apps, Also a new battery will need several charges/discharges before it reaches its optimum capacity, Try not to run the battery out completely, Normally just after you get the low battery warning is best then charge overnight.

thanks for the tips mate. i've changed the sync to every 15mins. I also manual input apn option and turn of the location service. hope this will help...
Are you connected to a MicroCell anytime during the day. They are known to drain battery quickly. I have a lot more running than you (email & background) and my average "screen off" drain is about 3.5% per hour, or 56% per 16 hour day. That leaves me about 4 hours of screen on time before my battery is nearly drained (screen on/data/calls drains another 9-10% per hour). Pretty impressed with my battery actually.

How do you guys measure the % drain per hour on the lumia? I know android does like a graph and stuff is there an app for it?
I have
Four email sync
Twitter
facebook
weather app
and take photos
and a few calls.
lasts me anything between `12 hours - heavy use to around 19 hours of mild to normal use and am actually quiet impressed with the battery.
Suggestions :
Turn off WIFI when not in use as it uses power to search for signal
Poor Network coverage will DRAIN battery as well.
Disable any Background tasks which you do not need.
And I charge my phone every night regardless of the battery percentage even if its 50% left
Search feature of the forumn... is it good?
thread in this forum all about battery life.
If you are in a known WiFi area, like home or work, no need to turn off WiFi. Uses less power for data transfer than LTE, but of course, may be a bit slower. Out and about and have your screen on a lot; might be a good idea to turn of WiFi. WiFi uses almost 0 power when your phone is sleeping.
Just finished a series of Background Task tests. Comparing drain with tasks enabled/disabled. About 0.5% per hour or 8% per 16 hour day. That's with 8 tasks running; USA Today, Fox News, Weather Channel, Mehdoh, Urban Dictionary, Network Dashboard, Clever-To-Do and Battery Meter. Btw, Battery Meter is a homebrew app, but you can check percentages on the Settings>Battery Saver screen.

The diagnostic mode will help see the battery percentage and power drained per second.
Just press ##634# and you will be able to see it.

I do know about the diagonistic mode... but uninstalled it as there are rumours it eats battery as well
Why would the Diagnostic App, which can't be uninstalled, as its part of your ROM, have anything to do with draining your battery. How do these rumors start. Guess this is another "truth" I will have to prove. Running a series of articles on Mobility Digest to squash all these urban legends. So far, push email, battery saver and background tasks. More to follow.

I don't think it does, I loaded it up yesterday to check what my battery drain was, since then my phone has used 27% in 22 hours. Perhaps it uses a lot of power while you're using it, but surely not just by having it installed.

It can be uninstalled as I have installed and uninstalled it quiet a few times now, probably it on a hidden partition of the ROM, but you can remove it.
Just for the sake of it I kept it all day today and my battery life was not affected as such,, so rumours are rumours after all
No, all you are doing is making it visible or invisible. Its always there. Do you actually see it installing like a Marketplace app, or does it just magically appear when you type in ##634# (or whatever it is). Oh, never mind.

Got the phone brand new yesterday so below are the first discharge stats with wifi ON only and cellular data off and max speed set to edge.
Remaining battery: 57%
Time since last charge 7 hours.
I've been playing with it from time to time since I unplugged it. 2 emails fetching every 15 minutes, whatsapp, downloading and testing apps.
How does it rank for a first discharge?
Difficult to say. The first thing you should do is dial ##634# on the phone keypad which installs the diagnostic app, then you can check the battery discharge rate. It usually jumps around for a few seconds and then settles down to around 90mA - 110mA. If it's higher than this, something is draining the battery.
I'm finding that sometimes various apps seem to start up some sort of process that continues to drain the battery even when it's not doing anything, and the best thing to do in that case is a soft reset.
Doing this I managed 60 hours between the last two charges, and since then I've gone 80 hours with 29% still left. That's with very light use and no apps installed though.

My drain reads around 100ma so I guess I'm good.
i'm not getting good usage with the battery now, on my 3rd charge, and so far only able to last 1 day, and i'm not even consider as a heavy user, no text, only few whatsapp (around 10) 15-20min calls and little browsing and market downloads. i didn't even on the auto update for emails... hope that the battery will improve after a few more charge...
Had my 900 about a week now, and in the first few days the battery life was looking good, lasting nearly two days with lots of texts, emailing, a few pictures taken and lots of talk time.
Then a couple of days ago it suddenly got worse. Started losing about 4% per hour. I charged it fully last night and then this morning nine hours later there was only 60% remaining.
I decided to try and find out what was happening. Found the diagnostics app and the battery drain was showing around 164mA. I don't have anything running that could be using so much power, so I wondered if I was suddenly getting a poor 3G signal and the phone was using a lot of power trying to receive it. So I put it into flight mode. Still around 164mA.
Finally I powered the phone off and then back on. Now it srttled down to around 95mA.
So what was running that was using so much power, that got switched off when the phone powered off? Could it be the GPS? I did fire up Nokia Drive and Nokia Maps the other day to play around with them. Could it be that the phone forgets to turn the GPS off when the apps that use it aren't running?

Not sure forgets is the right answer, but you may want to look at the Background tasks and see what is running when it shouldn't.
I know when I add a new app or 2...sometimes I get myself in a position where the battery drain becomes excessive. I usually just unistall the app. You've probably read a few of the battery threads here. If not, take a look. Lots of good conversation about ...well....lots of things....
For me, the biggest drain is Wordament....and its ads....I'll wipe out my battery in an hour playing that thing....
Just finished a series of tests for Background Tasks in my L900 (full article on Mobility Digest). 8 Background Tasks running burns 0.5% per hour, or 8% in a 16 hour day. Tasks included: USA Today, Fox News, Weather Channel, Urban Dictionary, Mehdoh, Network Dashboard, Clever-To-Do and Battery Meter (homebrew app that actually runs every 10 minutes vs. 30 minutes, or longer).
Except for short spikes, my phone always hovers in the 95 to 125 mA range. Data signal is still the biggest battery demon while phone is asleep. Screen while phone is awake.

Overnight my phone seems to have used less than 1% per hour, that's with wifi on but not connected to any network. Perhaps I'll see what it does with wifi off.
I'd still like to know what it was that was draining the battery until yesterday when I power cycled it. I only had the App highlighter app and the Weather Channel app running in background, and I've since disabled the App Highlighter. But they weren't using 4% of the juice per hour. I didn't have bluetooth on.
I guess if anyone is seeing a high battery drain the simple answer is to try power cycling your phone first and see if that stops it.

Cool! I'd love to see a wifi vs cellular data battery benchmark.
Well that would be hard for background activities as WiFi goes to sleep at power off.
I did try to use LTE only for a couple days, but AT&T did not start reporting my daily data usage on my monthly anniversary data. I wanted to see how much data I was using over a typical week with LTE only. On can tell you in those two days, LTE was burning 20-30% (13% per hour on WiFi / 17-18% per hour over LTE) more power per hour when the screen was on and I was browsing or using Board Express. A more comprehensive teat will follow though.

The above somewhat proves how cellular data can often be a big battery drain comparable to abundant wifi at home or other common places. Looking forward to ur tests.
Well the battery drain problem came back yesterday.
The phone has done pretty well however, with very light use (one short call, a few texts, checking FB, checking the weather and not much else) the battery is at 24% after 48 hours. Overnight it went through about 8% in nine hours.
However, yesterday evening I noticed that the battery was losing 4% - 5% per hour again. By yesterday morning it was at 70% after 24 hours. After another 9 hours it was down to 43%. That's having made no calls, only a couple of texts, and very little else. At 9.30pm I checked the diagnostics app and battery drain was over 200mA. There was no obvious reason why it would be so high. So I powered the phone off and back on again, and sure enough, battery drain settled back down to between 90 and 110 mA, and as I said, overnight the battery lost less than 1% charge per hour.
The only background task I have enabled is the Weather Channel app. I'm going to let the battery run right down, recharge it, uninstall this app, and then see if I can repeat this pattern (if people will hold off from calling me!) If it's not this app then there must be something else, something in the firmware that goes haywire after a certain time and starts using lots of power.
I note that some people have observed that the battery starts to drain quicker after a while. I'd be interested to know if anyone can repeat the same pattern I'm seeing.
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 Samsung Galaxy S8+'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!

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.

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.
Recently bought this phone and am getting 6-8 hours SoT at half brightness in 1 day.
I feel this is surprisingly low, considering many reviewers on YouTube are getting up of 10+ hours, with one even reaching 13 hours /watch?v=31twODBCnNU skip to 8.20 mins.
Through gsam it looks like apps account for 70% of drain (screen only 30%?), of which most seems to come from Kernel (Android OS) and Android System (see image links). I am worried this is what is draining my battery.
What SoT are people getting and how much battery is being used by Kernel (Android OS) and Android System?

If cell signal reception is good I get upto 10 hrs. In my work place signal is poor so getting around 7-8 hrs. Overall get 1-1.5 days easily
I can second that. In optimal conditions I get up to 10 hours of SoT.
Have you disabled any apps and services to get that SoT? I disabled some google apps i don't use, facebook app and some more, disabled aod, double tap to wake and still can't get more than 7-8 hours.
Never gotten 10 hours before. How did your manage that? Anyone else want to share their SoT?
My average SOT with medium usage (Browser, Youtube, Telegram etc) is 10+ hours. Wifi only, no cellular, bluetooth off, gps off, nfc off, auto sync off, brightness 60%, night mode on, black theme on most apps even keyboard, disabled a lot of samsung/google apps with package disabler, disabled all bixby stuff, aod off, all the gestures off except palm swipe, power saving mode medium with CPU limited at 70% (no lag whatsoever PUBG plays fine)
With heavy usage (PUBG) battery drains 10-12% per hour
I get 7 hours SOT with heavy usage , gps Bluetooth, 4g on both sims ,all other services active , still get 7 hours .

Can anyone post screenshots of their usage through device care/gsam app drain?
I usually get close to 11 hours with 20-25% brightness and adaptive power saving on.
Sync, location and wifi always on.
AOD - tap to show.
Overnight standby power drain is excellent...WiFi and mobile on.
My battery life, wifi and data on,everything else off

I am getting at least 10 hours of SOT with average usage. Browsing, messaging, streaming on WiFi.
When gaming I get around 5 to 6 hours.
Am on the May patch.
Hi Guys! I am new to samsung, I recently bought an A70. It is superb phone, I love it.
Please, is there any way to change wallpaper automatically without installing any 3rd party app?

I get around 6-7 hours.. Wifi, mobile data, auto sync and AOD are always on. Never used any power saving feature. Playing clash royale and PUBG for about 45 minutes daily.
I usually get around 6-7 hours, but thats with heavy gaming and bad mobile data signal reception and with 20-25% battery remaining, cuz I think draining the battery often will affect the lifespan of the battery.
Off topic but I just want to ask, is 3gb ram used by the system normal? I have the 6gb ram variant.
