Standby drain - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review

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 Note 8's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Very interested about this, it's more important to me than SOT. If anyone can post their standby times that would be appreciated.

Standby time? As in how long the phone has been off the charger and power use while screen is off and not used?
edit: post pics

Wouldn't this show you more of an objective number? Seeing how much power used in a given amount of idle?

9hrs idle at 73%?? Did you even use your phone yet? Lol

Yeah I guess that isn't gonna work. It's just showing how long it's been on. I have no idea how to actually show how much usage at idle aside from unplugging it at a specific time at night and checking it in the morning

My idle time according to gsam is 1.5% per hour. This is sitting on my nightstand, everything on (bt,wifi,etc) and a pebble and fitbit alta connected as well as always on screen enabled. I would say it is excellent idle time.

this is not bad at all

Okay this is what I was looking for. I'd prefer just 1% per hour but still not gonna complain, it's nice. Thanks.

I charged mine to 100% last night before I went to bed. Sat it on the nightstand and it was at 96% when I woke up. That was with WIFI on and no fancy little watches or anything like that connected.

4% on a whole night is pretty good.

Had the same experience with mine last night. Went to be at 70% charged woke up 8 hours later at 66%. Seems pretty decent really. This was with wifi and cellular on, and Bluetooth off.

2am to 7am and 1% drop, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on connected to gear s3. But I have a bunch of apps that I don't use disabled with bk disabled like bloat stuff.

For an Android phone, I'd say standby time is pretty spectacular, especially if you have Always On Display turned off. I don't have any hard numbers, but subjectively, it's the best Android device I've had in this regard.

The Note 8 standby time isn't as good as my S8+ yet, but it's only gone through one or two charging cycles. My S8+ would drop from 100% to 98% in a 10 hour period over night. The Note 8 drops about 8% in the same amount of time. As I said previously I have been using the S8+ since the 14th of April and the Note is still new. I have also disabled quite a few services on both phones and they are bone stock with just Substratum and a few layers installed.

charged before sleep to 100%, waked up 6 hours later, at 99%. Best ever, usually get 97-96 % on previous phones. But I have to admit I have sync turned off, don't use facebook or anything like that, manually killed most apps I used during day and have AOD only for 45 min, during time I get ready for work in the morning. Now, after 18 hours since full charge and 3 hr and 6 min screen time I'm at 58%. Seem to be pretty good especially that kids were playing games before, recorded some 4k video and had brightness cranked up to 50%. As it is, I should get at least 6-7 hrs screen time before battery dead, probably more if I lower resolution, lower brightness etc. Not sure why others complain about battery, more than good enough for me.

I'm interested and will do this as well. I will edit this post in the morning if I remember.
EDIT:
Unplugged at 11PM last night at 100%, woke up 8AM at 92%.
There may be an idle issue here.

I just got my Note 8 delivered today and I very interested in this as well. I am charging now that set up is complete and will check my percentage in the morning. I do like what I am reading so far!

Hehehe I can spot someone who cares for his battery just by looking at the graph ☺ avoiding a full charge puts less stress on the battery... I think the battery would be even happier spending the night at 50%

Definitely a pattern here. Battery very consistent with best SOT I've experienced. Nokia has nailed it in this respect from a relatively small battery

Wow! Nine hours and it didn't drop a single percentage? What a quality doze
I suspect it was a one off, it would be nice if it did it all the time that's for sure.
Have had my phone 5 days - 4 nights.
1st night was 0% loss - but past 3 nights has been 3-4% overnight in Aeroplane mode.
So I guess some apps I installed since are doing something or trying to do something overnight.

My phone is fully stock and not tampered with in anyway.
Being in Airplane mode only turns off the radios, it doesn't stop the phone from doing things.

Spoke too soon. Saw another 0% drain last night...
Only difference I can think of is that earlier in the day I had disabled 'Push' on my corporate email client 'TouchDown' and set to never sync.
But the weird thing it that the push/sync was only ever scheduled for office hours. So, unless it has been doing something behind the scenes - it does not make sense that it was using 3-4% every night..Pretty sure it did not show up in the usage breakdown figures.
Will check again tonight.
I remember that my Z1Compact used to get away with 0-1% overnight and even my Z3C in the early days - until an Android version upgrade removed the Sony battery optimisation feature.
Update: Another night of 0% drain!
I got the phone on Saturday, and in two nights I'm losing 2-3% in 7-8 hours. I guess this shouldn't happen since my old Galaxy s5 on 7.1.1 had 0% drain. Also today at work battery drained 2-3% while doing nothing on the phone the whole day.
Anyone else with the similar problem?
Has anyone spotted that after Oreo update battery life improved? I managed to get two days out of it with Location/Data on all the time using maps almost all the time pretty impressive.
Hi! If you're only using mobile data (4G/LTE) for internet access the whole time, how much SOT are you having while doing some chats and Facebook?

Also, it can be 7-10% or 10-15%. Phone and kernel sucking battery, still haven't found the solution.

I'm not so sure, the OnePlus would drop 3-4 percent overnight and would be showing signs of Doze working. The mate 20 Pro stays awake even if the phone is not touched the whole time loose about 10 percent overnight

I am thinking that it happens if you have the on screen fingerprint set up and the smart thing that waits for you to move the phone or touch the screen. If you turn it off it should help.

I'll give it a try tonight and see if if it does sleep. Its a shame the face unlock isn't reliable enough. With my beard I'm getting 60% success rate
I noticed after turning off app launch, my overnight standby drain is 0%. I'll monitor again.
Used my mate20 all of yesterday, went to bed with about 50%. Woken up this morning to 47%. Never have I ever had a phone I could consider not charging for the second day. I have an opportunity to test the 40w charger and see how quickly I can top it up.

At 100% there is an overcharge - 100%-99% lasts as long as 80-75%. What if you left your device off charge for the night without charging?
I charge in the morning for 30-40 mins and leave overnight at 25 wake up with 15-17.
I woke up last night and used my phone so my result is skewed I will try again tonight (and not to wake up lol)

So from 2250 to 0650 I had drain of 6% or ~252mah. Power saver and ultra power saver turned off.
For reference 6% on the one of 6 is 198mah and 4% which is the drain I get on my OnePlus 6 is 132mah. So almost double the battery drain on the mate 20 pro
I wonder if the big cores still kick in during sleep. This is a 7nm chip, my assumption is that only the four Cortex-A55 cores should run during sleep.
I use timely alarm clock and setting that as an app on ultra power save mode it didn't go off yesterday.
I can try power save mode tonight, as a last resort I could turn it off and schedule on 1 hour before alarm

Yeah, when it was on I got 7/8% drain in the same period
I guess more of a question that a straight answer: What kind of battery improvement do you see when
- switching to FHD+ over QHD+
- darker theme, animations off
- manual app power management & launch
- VoLTE & High Speed LTE mode turned off
- fingerprint reader off (I guess hover-over-screen function drains?)
- Bluetooth, other antennae off
- removing/freezing whatever unused stock app (like Health) possible
- alternate launcher, battery saving apps
I 4 percent battery drain over night in 8 hours. Per saving off, Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, mobile data on. Quite good, I think.

AccuBattery is reporting 3.5%/h average battery use with screen off, measured with a total of 24h of screen off (non consecutive)
Not impressed
Standby is terrible to be honest. Drains almost 1 - 1.5% per hour just lying on table. Pixel 2 used to drain 0.5 to 0.75% in an hour
I get usually 0.6% / hour overnight drain. I'll wake up with about 95%. Phone face down with AOD so it goes off. Once in a while an app will keep the phone awake unbeknownst to me until the morning. Either I restart or force close the app and it goes away. If you're getting higher drain than that you should check your apps keeping the phone awake with screen off. BBS is really good for that.

You need to figure out what is keeping the phone awake then. I tweaked my wife's 3 yesterday and she go 0.4% / hr last night and I only got 0.6% / hr. I have a little more running on mine though, sync wise. AOD / w/face down to turn it off.

First off I turned off adaptive battery. Then I removed MIPS and MVS completely. Deleted an unneeded app that gave a bunch of partial wakelocks and alarms. Rebooted and voila 1.8% / hour down to 0.4% overnight drain.

Wow. That's even worse than I expected. That's must be some misbehaving app. With a 2915mAh battery I think about 0.6% per hour with AOD off. With AOD on I'd expect like 1.25% per hour.

Turing off "Adaptive Battery" seems to give vastly more juices here, hopefully it gets fixed in the coming update cuz it's supposed to help not making it worse. lol
Shouldn't it take some time for adaptive battery to actually work? It needs to learn after a week or 2 I assume.

I guess you're right. But I switched it off yesterday, and I must admit the Pixel 3 sips much less juice when idle since. How come the learning process takes that much power?
Has anybody used the phone for at least two weeks with adaptive battery on and noticed any improvement?

If it takes that long then it doesn't work. I had it on since day one, whenever that was, and turned it off a couple of days ago. Adaptive battery should be labeled accelerated battery drain at this point. It was a nice thought but it simply doesn't work. Now if they acknowledge the mess up and say they fixed it well then I'd try it again. Until then..
Okay guys, let's try to see if leaving Adaptive Battery on for 2 weeks would give us some what better SOT or standby. I've started yesterday.
However, as to share, my first week I kept switching between on/off and it is LEGIT that leaving it on is such a culprit! funny enough!

What is MIPS and MVS? How do you remove them? What impact do they have on functionality?
Also kind of funny that a feature like Adaptive Battery that is supposed to help battery life actually makes it worse.
Interesting. Got my pixel 3 today, coming from IPhone X
Standby time is not the best part of the pixel...
As I said earlier on another subject. When charging the Pixel 3 100% its takes 1% in less than 5 min compared to Pixel 2 and Nexus 6P its take over 30 min. So i think OS Pie is not good for battery

No drain, sleeps like a baby. Around 0.5% drain
Standby drain is quite a lot worse than on my OP6 tbh. During night I lose 5% vs. 2% on my OP6. I also lose more during the day in standby. In 15 hours time I lost 40% with just only 2 hours SOT. No culprit in battery graph.
My standby at night is HORRIBLE. It was amazing on my 6T with only a few percent lost at night (6-7 hours). My 7T doesn't seem to go in to any sort of standby. It pretty much straight line drains the whole day with no distinction for night.
With my 6T I was often able to go 48 hours between charges with moderate usage. This one mows through battery at night.
Mine drains by about 5% overnight and i leave network, Bluetooth and WiFi on and i have also turned off Sleep Standby Optimisation to make sure any calls or alerts get though due to having elderly parents.

Same experience, although my battery drain during the night isn't that bad (5%), but still not good. My issue is mainly idle drain during the day.
Been at work past 12 hours. Lost 25%, and I barely used the phone (maybe 20min). This wasn't the case with my OP6. Weird.
I lost 20% from 12:15 am to 7:30 am. It was at 33% when I put it down and 13% when I got up. I cleared out all recent apps before turning off the screen and going to bed.
Last full charge 113 minutes ago

I don't know how long you've had it, but I've noticed that the battery is significantly better after a week or two.. I think it's something with android 10. Right now I'm at 10hrs since charge. 1h 15m use. I've lost only 10%.
Last week it was the double.

Just today gsmarena also posted its battery stats on pixel 5, which got Endurance rating of 93h, which according to my own experience and usage pattern means its helluvah performer battery wise! Anything over 80h is good!
https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3
I thought i would just leave it to see what would happen overnight again, so i am still on the same charge as the first screen shot but i have 3 hours SOT time now.
The stand by drain isn't quite as good as I expected. I'm losing about 1/3% per hour. When my Pixel 2 XL was brand new it also drained about 1/3% per hour on stand by and that was with a smaller battery and less power efficient processor. I'm certinaly not complaining, 1/3% per hour is great. Just a little surprised that it's a tiny bit worse than my Pixel 2 XL.
Mine definitely seems worse than my 2XL - that would maybe lose 5-10% overnight, while the 5 seems more like 20% at the moment, even after 2 weeks for it to settle down.
Just loosing 1-3% over the complete night here. Maybe have a look into your battery statistics to find out whats causing this drain on your devices?
This is mine overnight again.

Reboot your device and check again.,is a known bug also on 4xl ....
Mine over night ...

From 44 to 28% in 7 hours. With AOD. It seems like AOD never sleeps. It's avout 2%/h.
Can anyone with AOD report his own "score".

Well if it ia bug i am delighted with it, i am getting all but 2 days battery life with 5 hours SOT. (FWIW it rebooted last night after installing the November patch and the standby drain overnight was just the same)

Same here. First night stayed at 100% as well, then next day synced everything and lost 2%, last night with flip to shh on I lost 1% over close to 8 hours. First Pixel where I'm not hunting for a plug out during the day. I have exercise tracking software I use pretty much daily so SOT doesn't really pertain when it's activity tracking with screen off. But still getting around 5 hours taken into account.
Just to add my battery indicator drops how i would expect it to with usage, i am not seeing this stuck bug thing people are seeing.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I haven't used AOD on my Pixel 5 but I remember testing it on my Pixel 2 XL when it was new and stand by tripled from 1/3% per hour to about 1% per hour. So yeah 2% does seem really bad.
The screenshot speaks for itself.

What the hell?!?! What kind of magic is that? With just over 4 hours screen on time the best I could do is maybe 2 days. You got 6?!?! What's your secret?
Im note sure mate... I even use dual sim!
Next run, even better...

fantastic result. How is Spotify using little energy there? for me it consumes the battery a lot.
In addition, the standby time is very poor. Not using the phone at all, maybe he could handle it Three days. And so it barely lasts 2 days out of 3h SOT if I'm lucky. Of course, I can achieve 8-10h SOT in one time but the standby kills the batteries in the long run.
Hi all, just wanted to report my less than ideal standby drain.
My Pixel 2 XL used to behave better as someone previously commented - I can 100% confirm this.
My P5 would usually use around 0.8/1.1%/h with hibernation time of roughly 80/90% during screen off (AccuBattery stats).
The average values might be skewed a bit since during the day I often listen to Spotify via my TWS buds, but at night the graph doesn't lie: it's quite visible that something's going on, as per screenshots.
Unfortunately I took them after this morning's quick refill, but you can still see clearly that when I put it on my night stand it was at ~50% and I woke up in the high 30s...
The line is not even close to being flat.
Where has all the nice work around doze gone?
Also, why is it so hard for Google to let us know precisely what is using all that energy?
Any tips?
I'm not rooted, no AOD and all my sensors are on - I don't want to babysit my battery.
With this setup I was getting better standby efficiency with my 2XL, I'm sure.
I've already reported this to Google with logs, hopefully some upcoming monthly patch will include some standby optimization
