Moto G5 battery life

The Moto G5's battery is absolutely dog s*** can't believe that people are getting over a day with this phone. When the phone's screen is off that's when it great. When it's on it's crap!! Help?

Could you share your screen on time? I am still satisfied with battery performance of my moto g5, even though the battery is not large enough and the chipset really consume a lot of power,

Don't know what you're doing but I use my phone non stop all day and right now after I unplugged it at 7am this morning I still have 66% left at 4pm
Obviously if you are playing high demanding games it will drain quicker but Iv been using wifi and apps all day no problems

Actually, the battery is quite good. Even with stock ROM. Even with .15 ROM (that's what I have right now).
But I have disabled Moto Display and few other things, perhaps this helps a bit.
You should try to find out what eats your battery. In worst case, try Factory Reset.

Looks perfectly normal to me

With some routers my battery goes down when display off. Solution: wi-fi off when at sleep.

How does this looks?

Unknown as you have pulled the stats just after unplugging the phone from power

Don't know if any one noticed but the moto g5 kernel has performance as the default scheduler. Not really the best for battery life at all.

RR6 latest version, battery drain issue

Screen off for an hour and 8% battery usage. Unbelievable. I even have brevent controlling the background activities,nearly all apps are brevented.Any idea on how to solve this?Thx a lot guys!

Broken? Arasthel's LOS 15.1 is running very smoothly for me with decent battery life, not much worse than MIUI for me.

I'm running RR 6.0 now, never have that kind of battery drain.

Half of the calls had no audio for me wit LOS 15.1. I definitely did not do anything wrong, I did your flashing sequence with total wipe. It was also draining battery and getting hot. I have no clue how it can work for some people and not for the others.

Maybe you should properly calibrate battery once new rom is installed. That helped me before.

I don't have a battery screenshot right now. But I definitely don't notice much drain when the phone is idle. I get 3-4h SoT per day with 20-30 percent left. I use bluetooth in the car a lot and always have it on, almost always on wifi. Don't notice any drainage when on LTE though.

I found out where the cause is.It's the location setting.Default location setting is high accuracy,which costs a lot of battery life.I turned it off and it's all fine now.9 hours idle,4 hours SOT,40% battery left.Really satisfied with that.

I really dont know the reason. But one thing is that because I came from MIUI, after flashing the RR, i do the "format user data" just to make sure everything is clean for a different kind of Rom. It would be a bit hassle to copy things back to the phone, but I just have to do that format thing once.
Also I use greenify with aggressive doze. That's it

I have no audio on calls - again. This is really starting to piss me off. If no one else has this, then it must be a problem with my phone. I have never tested it with miui to be honest, I flashed custom roms right away. I guess now I need to go back to stock to see if the issue persists.

It helped me. I am not getting any drains. Give it a try you got nothing to lose. Just discharge your phone fully and then leave it turned off to fully charge.

Normal overnight battery drain

Hi guys, I'm coming from a S7 which lost 1-2% during an 7-8 hour sleep, with everything off, now with a brand new S9+ I'm losing more than 5% during the night. I know this isn't excessive but I don't find it normal either when my other phone lost less than half of that. During the first days I used the S9+ without the SIM card and overnight drain was perfect, 2% every 10 hours, but once I inserted the SIM I started seeing a drop of 5 or 6% every night. Once again, I undrestand it's not terrible, but my other phone lost max 2% in the same situation.
So for what I've noticed, it's the SIM card radio signal the major drain, in GSAM it appears as 87% of the overnight drain. Removing the SIM makes it lose 2% overnight, that would be perfect but I can't enable Flight Mode everynight for I need to receive calls in case of an emergency.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried just disabling data? That would stop MMS texts but you'd still receive calls.

Sorry I didn't specify, when I said everything off it was including mobile data. Everything is disabled, only drain seems to come from the phone signal. I always have 2 or 3 bars so the signal is not terribly bad.

Ahh, ok. If there is nothing running in the background and the only thing is the Sim card, then I don't see much hope for an easy fix. Of course, there is the old factory reset that Samsung would suggest but that may be a big PITA for nothing.

Ignore it, you're worrying over 3% battery drain?
Charge the phone for 2 minutes in the morning to gain your 3% back... :silly:

I think it is fine, Your installed app might have increase from the day you purchased your S9 so might might be increasing apps might be reason behind it? but over all why are your worrying about 3 to 5% as long as s9 is running android to your are going to have some percent drop overnight, I think you shouldn't worry about it

Yes, I know it's not a lot, but why my 2 years old S7 drained 1 or 2% overnight and my brand new S9 drains 6% or more? Some mornings I have woken up at 93% having unplugged it at 100%, and it went down to 92% after 20 seconds of use. Can different phones have a different drain because of the modem/phone signal?

I factory reseted it a couple of times and still got a 6% drain in 7 hours, not 3 to 5%. My main concern is that I inserted the SIM in my old S7 for the night and got 2% drain, and next night tried my new S9 and got 7%. That's what I don¡t understand. The drain in the S9 is the same with everything factory set and with my S7 setup transferred. S9 drains 5 or 6% and S7 drains 2% maximum.

You're comparing apples and oranges. The S9 has a lot more under the hood and that's probably contributing to the extra usage. I think you may be chasing a ghost.

Thanks for all the replies.
I see, so even though the phone is asleep and with everything off/disabled, the faster processor might consume more battery? I understand your point, yet I only see the drain when the SIM card is in the phone, when I take it out the drain is equal to my S7, 2% in 8hs max, that's what I find strange.

If this is just 'because you are interested in what's causing the extra drain', and not because it's actually bothering you, then by all means try to narrow it down, but S7 vs S9 = completely different phones separated by 2 years, new tech, you can't expect them to perform identically, including power consumption
That said, my S9 probably drains about 2% a night, but I've used a package disabler to kill a load of useless system apps, possible one of them is causing the drain
AOD will drain too
You up to date with firmware?
Tried flashing a different CSC region stock ROM? Possible the modem (CP) is causing the drain if it only happens with the SIM inserted (I'm running O2U)

News, I have reseted to factory settings but didn't connect to wifi so the phone doesn´t download any carrier bloatware or update/install other apps. Drain from 8PM to 7AM was 2%. I will try tonight again without modifying anything except for what the phone installs automatically. If the drain appears again I will start disabling bloatware until I find the culprit.
Thanks a lot for the help. It doesn't bother me a lot, but a drain of 6 or even 7% sometimes during the night is a bit annoying. That's half an hour SOT I lose.

Surely you're back in the house before your phone reaches 7% though? Would be a very rare occasion when that last few % actually made the difference between having power or not
But like I said before, you don't get up and leave the house in 30 seconds, plug it in while you get ready if you really need that extra 30 mins
But yea, carrier bloatware could easily be the culprit, hence the package disabler pro (no root needed)
Or flash an unbranded stock firmware (BTU and XEU are carrier bloat free in the UK)

Why should the region of the firmware influence the drain? All firmwares should be the same. In theory.

Certain CSCs enable certain features, VoLTE / WiFi calling, call recording, etc etc, and for example if BTU and XEU which are both UK unbranded were identical, they would surely get the same OTA at the same time, but they don't, and carriers add their own bloat if you have a CSC that is carrier branded
Also changing CSCs often requires Odin's repartition option to be enabled as the firmware requires different partition size vs the original CSC that was on the device when bought
Different modems I would imagine for different regions too, if the drain is coming from a SIM related issue, the modem part of the firmware would be a suspect

I read that there are issues with the modems on the S9 some time ago. Maybe that's the issue in my case as well? I got Wi-Fi calling, but the phone is unlocked and I got no bloat (except the Google apps).

Quite possibly, I'm not seeing any extra drain than I should be and I'm running the O2U firmware (United Kingdom)
I have WiFi calling and 4G calling too, might be worth flashing this firmware to test if yours is the G960F? There isn't really much bloat, a couple of O2 apps only and you get the option during first boot to install or not install them anyway

Do you know how can I disable the bloatware now that BK Plugin 2 and BK Package Disabler are down?

Package Disabler Pro & PDP engine addon, both on the play store

Well, I found the Package Disabler Pro + after my last reply and installed it. Didn't install the PDP Engine Addon as I hadn't read your reply at the time and the app said the Disabler Pro + worked alone without the need of another plugin.
Automatically disabled around 120 bloatware apps, restored the ones I needed or wanted to use, and disabled a couple more that were carrier specific bloatware. Restarted the phone, charged to 100% and went to sleep after unplugging and setting my alarm.
Woke up this morning after 7 hours of sleep with 99% and a smile on my face. Seems that it was bloatware the culprit of the standby drain, and even my day stamina has been improved, today I've given it a light usage and I'm still at 81% at 6PM with 1hr 24m SOT.
Thanks a lot for your help!

note 10 + Battery Issues / Not satisfied

Hi dear Team
I got my 10 plus (5g) although 3 uk is still to deliver it in order to see the speeds.
I am completely in love with the phone, for sure.
However, my problem is the battery.
Previous device was Mate 20 pro, with a battery that literally could last the full day , this one not really.
while on Mate 20 pro I would go home after 14h , with still 20% , now If I am lucky, It will have 3%
Different screen yeah, but it still feels bad.
Quality is (default) so not even enjoying the full resolution out of it.
Could you help me or tell me your experience as well?
I remember the times with my S8 that while on Roaming, I had to charge it 2 or even 3 times during the day
Thanks!

I use a package blocker. Cloud services including Google's suck down the battery. I blocked Goggle Backup Transport, Framwork, Playstore and Samsung's cloud junk. I only run them when I need them.
Samsung Push, blocked.
You need to closely watch what happens when you block them and opposed to toggling them off.
They're witchy.
I actively monitor milliamp usage realtime to spot runaways. I'm running at around 140-300 ma right now.
MA closely mirrors the cpu usage.
Screen off my power usage with AOD active is around 1%@hr.

Hey can you share the exact list of apps that you have disabled. That would be really nice of you. I don't wanna risk doing something stupid.
Battery life is the only thing my note 10 plus is struggling with.

Disably all power management including Samsung's and especially any carrier apps.
-Untoggle any power saving settings first.-
Disable all cloud apps. Knox junk.
Disable carrier, Samsung and Google feedback trash.
All Bixby except Bixby vision and Bixby vision framework which the cam needs.
Otherwise you need to sort through, learn which ones you want/use, and how they interact. Some bloatware you probably use and want to keep.
Some like Playstore I keep disabled unless I need it.
Each set up is different... play with it.

Do you have Bixby wake up word on?
It used 37 % of battery yesterday. Took me a week to figure this out as the battery was not doing well for me either.
Disable Bixby entirely!!

Don't compare it to the Mate 20 Pro. That phone is just in a league of its own. The P30 Pro battery is even better so don't expect anything close to that as these phones are known for insane battery life.
Are you using snapdragon or Exynos?
If you are using Exynos then you won't get what the Snapdragon variant offers. Snapdragon has better battery life and this is the problem with Samsung. They should make all their phones using snapdragon chips

Hello,
Was wondering if someone has had the same experience with their note 10+.
I got my device on the 22nd of Aug and since day 1 the battery has always been showing 99% almost immediately after disconnecting from the charger.
But after that, it discharges normally. Have had no issues with SOT as well.
This wasnt the case with my note 8 and note 9. They used to stay on 100% for a while after disconnecting from the charger.
But was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience with their Note 10+.
Thank you.

How do you disable Bixby?? I would like to disable also since i dont use it and it is also eating up battery.

CCSWE App manager in playstore, you have to buy it, but works really well

I only needed to disable the always on listening for the wake-up word for my battery to get back to normal (and disable bixby routines in settings).
Battery is OK now for me - still not as good as Huawei Mate 20 Pro but good enough.

Do you have Bixby wake up word on?
It used 37 % of battery yesterday. Took me a week to figure this out as the battery was not doing well for me either.

With an Exynos variant I get 7, 7 and a half hours TOS, of course if I play games the phone won't last me all day.

I use a package blocker. Cloud services including Google's suck down the battery. I blocked Goggle Backup Transport, Framwork, Playstore and Samsung's cloud junk. I only run them when I need them.
Samsung Push, blocked.
You need to closely watch what happens when you block them and opposed to toggling them off.
They're witchy.
I actively monitor milliamp usage realtime to spot runaways. I'm running at around 140-300 ma right now.
MA closely mirrors the cpu usage.
Screen off my power usage with AOD active is around 1%@hr.

General Horrible battery life fix

To everyone that's been having horrible battery life on this phone and people didn't believe it, I've found the problem. Not sure what cheap parts they used but the 5g is the problem. I disabled my 5g and I was able to to go from 6 hours 100% -30% to 10 hours 100% - 30% with the same use. If you want to save more battery, just leave battery saver on. Disable the extreme battery saver though.
I've found that I'm able to use the phone for the whole day with little loss to function this way. Good luck to you all.

That's the general consent of this forum and has always been the primary advice for people with battery life. problems. In like... 15 threads. But of course it's nice to see that you managed to improve your battery life.

External Samsung Exynos modem inefficiencies to blame here. VoWifi saves more

How did you disable 5G?

I have noticed improved battery life by disabling smooth display.
Doing so sets your display at 60 all the time.
the constant thrashing between 60-120 was killing my battery.
I expect this will be resolved in future updates

Don't forget to leave your display turned off, that freakin' bug needs to be solved asap!!1

Dial *#*#4636#*#* then switch network to LTE/wcdma or something similar that doesn't have 5g in front of it

Unfortunately still get massive drain with NR(5G) disabled.

To think I passed up on buying my first ever iPhone with the 13 pro max just to buy this **** stain of a phone. I can never trust Google for another phone ever again

Why not just go to settings and select 4g as preferred? Doesn't that disable 5g?

some carriers don't allow you to do that (Fi, maybe AT&T, some in the EU etc etc)
just be careful using that dial code. I recommend anyone going into that setting, take a screenshot of the default "Network type" each carrier/region/country uses a different setting. there's like 19 different ones. you won't hurt your phone but it might cause a headache.

Whatever you do nothing really fixes Mobile network standby and horrible 5g drain. Unfortunately

The only thing that we can hope for is the "General improvements in network stability and performance" listed in the changelog helps. Personally, I haven't seen more than 17% battery usage for mobile network standby over 24 hours.

Talking of battery I was told this P6P has an adaptive display like the iphone 13 pro which would go down to 10hz but when I activated the on screen display it only went down to 60 which is the same as the S21 Ultra so another Google lie

It's very clear by now that Google outright lied about a bunch of stuff to sell this phone. Using cheap parts to sell a premium phone. The software improvements don't mean sh*t if the hardware got worse. Especially battery life and signal strength and consistency

From what I understand, the screen display (from developer options) uses SurfaceFlinger to show refresh rate but SurfaceFlinger can't show/detect anything below 60Hz. Anything below that can only be shown/detected by the display controller. So the screen display will only show as low as 60Hz even if it's at 10Hz.

Fi allows you to disable 5g, but you have to be in "Safe Mode" to do it.

i didn't elaborate. some carriers allow the change in normal mode, others in safe mode and some only in the dialer menu... and rarely, some in the EU don't even allow the change in the dialer menu to stay.
anyway, disabling Wifi Calling helped idle drain for me but it was only a 2 night test. went from 1.4% /hr drain to 0.3% when idle. that's a lot. too bad I need the feature.

Tell me why I would not want to disable Wi-Fi calling. I have been using it by default but I'm not sure if I'm benefiting it from it at all. So if it's draining my battery I would love to disable it. At the moment my battery is not stellar, but it could be much better since it's such a large battery.

They said they really need it. Depends on your signal situation where you make the most calls and texts. If your mobile signal is trash at home then wifi calling would offset that. If you aren't benefitting. Turn it off.
