So I charged my phone 100pct last night at 12am.. Put on ultra power saving mode with all radios off, Wifi ETC. Woke up in the morning at 8am to check and it was at 39pct! This is with NOTHING running in the background on Samsung's 12 day standby estimate according to my phone. How is this possible? Luckily I woke up and plugged it in or else I would have had a dead phone to start off the day.

Well, start by looking at battery stats.

too late now.. however I have been using the phone all day since 10AM and I'm only at 83pct now.. There has to be some glitch in the Ultra Power Saving mode.. My phone on regular non-power saving mode lasted longer.
A drop from 100pct to 39pct with nothing on and the phone sitting on my nightstand overnight in what is supposed to be Ultra Power Saving is ridiculous.

Hey guys
I just discovered that even though I suspend my Qtek9000, the battery drops around 1-2% every hour. For example last night I went to sleep with 80% and woke up after around 8 hours, the battery was at ~70% without having BT or WiFi on. I know that the PDA doesn't actually shut off, but is this kind of drop normal or should I worry? :roll:
Thnx in advance
Yeah mine does the same thing pretty much :? I think it's the phone module that causes the drain. You could try to put it into flight mode one night and see if you have the same drain.

Say i put my phone in flight mode at 2300 - at around 0730 the next day - i have probably lost 1-2%. If flight mode off (and bt/wifi off) with no usage - i would probably loose 1-2% per hour.

Wondering what everyone's overnight battery drain is looking like. picked up mine on launch day and the first nights battery drain was only 9% but last nights battery drain was 27% i don't know if it was something i had running in the background or what. Wifi was also on both nights.
I've seen this type of issue but have not been able to pinpoint the true source of that big drain when its in sleep mode

Applications. I'm sure of it.
I'm having the same exact issue.
Last night I went to bed with 11% and I woke up with 9% (7 hours of sleep).
The secret to almost 0 battery drain on your phone at night is to use juice defender + airplane mode. I set my juice defender's "night mode" for 1am - 6am, but you can mix that up based on your sleep schedule. Juice defender will disable data during that time.
I turn on airplane mode at night because nobody is going to be calling me when I'm sleeping. The only person that would is my fiance, and she sleeps next to me.
Juice defender almost helps battery life throughout the day. Also, make sure battery saving mode is checked under "display and sound settings." I've been experiencing phenomenal battery life so far. My 2nd charge went for 21 hours with 4 hours of screen on time.
I hope this helps

yea i just started using juice defender got the paid version this morning so we will see how it goes tonight. i also have advanced task killer now which will kill no essential apps/functions when i turn the screen off. Hopefully battery life increases over my old palm pre lol. It's also doesn't help that at work i only get 0-2 bars inside so that kinda sucks my battery life down alot.

Hmm.. Must be what is happening to me. I always have 2 bars where I live.
i've got to wonder if inaccurate battery level reporting isn't part of the issue, and i don't just mean the battery icon in the top notification bar
some other posters have remarked how much life they had even after the low battery warning notification popped up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770207
after the first few weeks of use, once my battery had settle down, i was seeing 1-2% drain at night after taking mine off the charger at 11:00PM
i even took to putting it in airplane mode & turning off GPS - and it didn't affect the 1-2% drain
but every odd day it'll show 8 to 11% drain after a full charge and putting it to sleep at 11:00PM
the same with the radio signal strength indication given in settings - again, not the signal strength bars in the notification. When my signal strength is showing 0 & 0 asus, i can still make calls with no drop outs etc
look I understand and agree that juice defender and airplane mode help but lets be honest here
not all of us want to disable the phone to save battery. standby should not take this much battery even without the damn defender and schmender
something is going on thats draining battery
my evo did not do this at all even without defender or airplane mode

This is true. Once the battery hits low levels, it must kick into super battery saver mode because it hangs in there like a champ. I was trying to murder the last of my battery so I could completely drain it all the way. At 6% I just loaded up a movie because that's a good battery drainer. It took an hour to hit 0%, and even then it didn't shut off.

Huh. I found that my EVO drained more battery life when idle than my Epic. Cell standby will kill your phone when idle if you don't have great signal. This is the reason behind airplane mode. Task killers will also drain your battery. Anything that runs in the background, really.
I'm running systempanel to monitor eerything and I noticed that the phones cpu is at 30% when sleeping with occasional spikes every few hours to 100%.
I also run tasker, and then both run in background...

I just worked this morning from 10pm to 7:30am. Night shift at Wal-Mart. Went to work with 96% and ran Pandora all night, facebook, texting, net on breaks. Got home at 12%. About 10 hours of good use. I can live with that. But that's an example there.

I turn my phone off last night with 50% battery left. This morning I turn the phone on and it tells me to charge the battery and then shuts off.
Here is where it gets weird; the exact same thing happened to my wife's phone except she had almost a full charge before turning it off.
What is going on?
I don't know I have gone 26 hours in mostly standby and I still have about 65-70 % of battery left. Check all your settings. I only have sync and back light to Auto turned on.
This is not normal and has never happened to me. Have you installed any apps from the market?
Little more info, please. Are your phones pre-OTA or have they been updated? Are they rooted? Did you just buy the phones? Have you trained the battery (fully charged then fully drained)? Have you done a factory reset?
Both phones are post update. Both were turned off by holding the power button then selecting "power off". Both have exactly the same apps that we had on our previous Androids (Vibrant and N1). Both bone stock. Have not factory reset, really don't want to go through the work of setup again.
I have never powered mine down completely overnight so I guess mine is not the same comparison. I might try it though just to see.
Ya they hold a great charge all day when on nut lost all their charge when powered off.

Is this a feature known to eat up battery? I mean if I left the phone on all night it would have still had a charge.

Idk, shooting in the dark here, never heard of a problem like what you have. Wouldn't hurt to try. I know the fastboot has something to do with the way the phone shuts down.
That battery behavior is just strange unless you have apps syncing frequently.
I unplugged last night at 1am, went to bed, and got up this morning at 8am, it went from down fully charged to 93%. I have autobrightness on, wifi on, gmail and exchange syncing, every other app that syncs I have it to sync at least every 6 hrs or once a day.
I've had this phone for 3 days now, and I'm consistently able to get 12-14 hrs of battery time, and that includes heavy internet use, radio, tv, etc.
Are you in an area where it's constantly trying to pull a signal? Maybe that's what's eating the battery?
Are you doing the steps to condition the battery? Charge until fully charged, turn it off and keep it charged another hour, then take it off charge and use it until it completely dies on its own, charge it back up again and then use as normal?
Yeah, but he saying he powered the phone down, not left it on and just idle. Now that's strange

Yes but he is powering completely down not just in standby mode so nothing would be syncing. I will try this tonight and see if I have the same thing.
My wife had about 75% charge, I had about 50% charge. We both held the power button until the menu came up, we hit "power off". Both of our phones had dead batteries this morning.
I would download spare parts and see what apps are using ur battery

None of this would matter cause the phones are powered off.
If you have fastboot checked, the phone is not actually turning off. It goes into a quasi-sleep state and some low level processes may be running. That said, your problem may be related to the following thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839935
the fix: enable USB debugging mode.
Another possibility, and this is someting that's happened to me in the past: the phones may be plugged into an outlet that loses power when you turn off the lights at night
Fast boot is similar to a Windows computer going into hibernation or standby mode.
Mine has been acting weird since Friday. I woke up and it totally discharged overnight... it was 100% charged when I went to bed. Yesterday it was laggy constantly and the battery has been draining at least twice as fast. Today phone locks up constantly.. apps are force closing.
... have rebooted, pulled the battery, etc... phone has gone from a dream to a nightmare in that respect.
Gonna double check my debug settings and see what happens.
EDIT: debug was turned off. I turned it on... will report back if there is a change.
UPDATE: Turning on USB debugging and a reboot seems to have fixed it. Battery drain `back to normal.
I'm quite staggered to state that my S3 haven't used a single % of battery overnight, I left my phone at 66% and in morning my jaw just dropped by looking at battery meter it was at 66% i thought it was stuck or hanged so i restarted my phone pulled the battery out and waited for 5 mins and turned it on again and voila it was at 65%(1% lost due to booting)
also my S3 is Made In Vietnam
Isn't this a good thing? Phones don't really use a lot of power when on idle like this. As long as u have a good signal and the radios not trying to pick a signal the battery doesn't drain much. I've left my g2 overnight several times and it hasn't gone down either
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
Yes its a good thing however my last droid eats 15-20 % battery in night which is bad.
Auto-sync on? 3G/wifi/airplane mode? Wouldn't mind having tiny idle drain myself
Phone is set on 2G network(not on Airplane mode) with wifi and auto sync OFF
I also noticed my SGS3 drains very little at night. However, when idling at daytime it does drain more battery (using System Panel to monitor battery levels).
Perhaps there is some power saving feature that put the phone in a deeper sleep-mode at night? Automatically disabling auto-sync etc?
Closed, we have a thread right here for initial reviews/discussion.
Thank you.
Hi
Brand new phone here, not rooted and fully stock.
During last three days I noticed a huge battery drain overnight, so I installed Better Battery Stats. Being not rooted I don't see many info but one thing is clear: after 6h being idle, I have lost 17% and BBS shows one single line as per attached screenshot.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks
try turning off wifi and anything that syncs constantly. go into settings, battery and see what it shows. no need for an extra app.
????
I don't want to turn off wifi at night.
With my edge+ all was remaining on and I would use only 4% overnight
I have the same problem. Go to sleep at night and wake up 7 hours later with 40% drain during the night. I don't use wifi.

I've had this phone for a week, and the first 3 days all was ok, but during the last 3 nights I am experiencing this huge drain overnight.
Problem is I am not rooted (and am not willing to root right now, till Android N comes) so I cannot really use wakelock detectors to see what's going on.
Phone is set up exactly like my Samsung S6 Edge+ and this one drain max 5% overnight.
Again go into settings and battery and see what is being used
Ok tonight I'll check
Here it is.
Unplugged and left 6h idle overnight with wifi on.
Lost 12℅
I cannot understand what's going on

Please note this happens only at night while phone is idle.
During day battery seems OK and wifi or idle do not show up in battery usage.
Also from the screenshot I see only 1% and a very low mA usage, so I don't understand why I lose so much battery when nothing is going on.
Is this really a problem? Your phone is losing between 2% and 3.3% per hour. That doesn't seem that bad. Mine is around 6% during the day (I have it plugged in during the night).
2% per hour in doze at night is a huge problem

Yeah, that kind of drain is an issue. I lose like 1% every 6 or 7 hours overnight with phone in doze with 2 maint. cycles
