Battery life overnight - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Had to S8 about 3 weeks now and always charge phone overnight with slow charger and always have 100% in the morning.
Last night I'd topped up phone on fast charger before bed and it was 96% when I went to bed so didn't put it on charge and just left the phone switched on.
Woke up this morning to 80% battery.
What's going on there?
I normally think overall day to day battery life on my S8 is good, but I'm concerned it's lost 16% overnight.

do you use AOD display? if you do not try to use the GSam Battery monitor and see what the battery is doing. Your description is very brief and we can not judge remotely unfortunately. Instructions to describe the problem are still in the forum rules.

I've looked in forum rules but cant see what you describe.
Anyway GSam says it won't work on my phone now without messing about with adb which with it being a new phone I'm not going to do.
I do use AOD, hopefully that isn't causing the problem as I find it useful.
I'll just have to make sure I leave it on charge overnight, then it won't matter.
Thanks anyway.

the use of AOD results in a loss of 10% of the battery per night. understand about 6 hours. according to other users' information

Thanks for replying, I hadn't read that so may well be useful. I may turn it aod off this evening and compare battery loss.

If you like using AOD during the day but worry about overnight drain... Put your phone face down at night so that AOD will be deactivated.

That worked thank you.
Still a loss of 7% over 8 hours but that's obviously way better than previous.
I suppose I'll have to adb to get correct battery usage figures.
Thanks everyone.

[Q] Best way to train a brand new battery

there are alot of mixed opinions on how to properly train a brand new battery, I'm talking right out the box 5 mins ago. Some are saying let the new battery drain and then start the charging/discharging and some are saying charge it right out of the box.
Anybody have a definite answer that has worked for them? Battery life has been an issue for me in the past and i wanna get this one right. thanks guys!
I charge it right out the box then do a full discharge and charge it back up again.
I think I'm a moderate / heavy user and I still get quite good battery life. Averaging around 20 hours before I need to charge.

It's Lithium Ion. You don't need to train it.
Android however needs to figure out how long it can run before the battery is dead. Charge it til it's full and run it down. Do that a few times and the OS should get a pretty good idea on where the battery is sitting.

yeah sorry for not being more clear, this is what I meant. not training the battery itself but the system so the battery stats are more precise
Wasn't there a special HTC-approved charging strategy that supposedly improves battery life dramatically? Was that ever debunked as BS?

you are not a heavy user then. I got about 12 hours with 2G only selected for most of the day. switched to HSPA. hspa+ 8megs killlllz my battery. I went from 70% to about 30 within a few hours just sitting in HSPA+ area and browsing and checking emails and facebooking. at about 12:30 that night i was at about 15%

You need to delete batterystats.bin from system if you get inaccurate readings. And yes, lithium ion batteries need no training. That was the older type nickel-whatever...

So, you're basically saying we need to train the OS, not the battery, am I right?
I always gave the battery a full charge and then let it go down to 0 and finally power down before re-charging. After doing that a few times I just did whatever as far as charging goes.
I also used to charge a lot here and there through out the day. I know only charge when it's low and I know I am doing a full charge. Not sure if it makes a difference with battery health, but I feel like I notice a difference.

Lithium Ion batteries should not have complete discharge cycles. Keep it above 40% when you can. Charge it regularly.
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
well I did the Evo trick and... i'm at 12 hours off the charge and 34%... that's with web browsing, texting, gtalk, phone calls, etc.
I think the GSM Auto (PRL) has helped a bit as my "time without a signal" went from 44% to 0%.
There are too many different answers from discharge at half, charge to full then discharge, and not let it discharge below 40%.
I think we should all test and log the different techniques.
So far
44 hours with light use
21 hours with normal use
15 hours with heavy use
and what I did was discharge at half and fully charge, also I dont let it shut down by itself and turn it off at 1 %.

You can read all about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670999
Okay, I read the post and did the evo trick, from my understand it stops your phone from constantly looking for a network.
while I made the changes, am I suppose to have "use only 2G network" check or unchecked? Also my connection changes from E to H all the time with this trick, is that suppose to happen because from my understanding it should stop it from switching networks?
I just tried the GSM Auto (PRL) evo trick.. now to wait and see if this helps at all..
Whoops, I didn't mean to imply that the evo trick was the GSM Auto (PRL) setting... I was talking about this:
To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.

Battery seems to drain fast when 50% or less, is this normal?

When my phone is fully charged or has 70 or 60% remaining battery it seems to drain as normal, around 2-5% over a 10 hour or so period...
However, I've noticed once the battery decreases below 50% it drains FAST, why?
Anyone else noticed this? Test it for yourselves, monitor the TIME it takes to decrease from 100 to 50% and then from 50% to 0.
Yesterday I forgot my phone in the car whilst going to work. It was turned on however it was sitting all day in the car.
Once I returned from work I was shocked to find the phone would not turn on.
At first I thought there was a problem or some kind of fault. Once I plugged in the charger it started to charge, the battery cut and the phone automatically turned off!
I remember the phone had around 48% battery remaining, no wifi or 3g or data turned on. It was simply idling...
So the question is HOW can the battery drain from 48% to 0% over a 10 hour period without being used???
Should my battery of been ANYTHING over 50% it would only lose a few percent...
Same thing for me. (Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 - stock Android 2.3.6)
Battery slowly decreases from 100% to ~50% and then ~2x faster.
I charged the note on my computer and then switched to the charger (at ~60% of charge).
I'm no expert of battery charging etc. but just remembered my iPhone 3GS discharging faster when charged on the computer than with the charger.
If it's the same for the note, some cells could discharge faster because charged on the computer.
Can someone confirm this (or not) ?
How did you charge your phone ?

Same thing happnd with me, and charging my phone thru electric charger..
So it seems this behaviour happens to several other Note users, why?
It's a problem knowing that having around 50% left in your battery will struggle to make it through the day with little to no use...
Have you people set the wifi to turn of while the screen is off? This is unnoticeable in the daily use, but increase the batterytime massively. The setting for this is hidden, you have to push menubutton while in the wifi-settings.
Here I thought I was only imagining things about the battery life dropping faster once it has reached 49% or less.

Haha, nice to know I'm not the ONLY one facing this bug...
I can only hope Ice Cream Sandwich solves this battery drain issue.
Hmm, i think i have the same problem, but i'm not sure. Will get back to this thread when i've investigated a little bit.
This may be a typical samsung issue.
I remember when i had the spica , the battery percentage lining in kernel was totally wrong. I think its done on purpose so you would feel like you have more battery life. 75 % of the battery drains slow. And the rest 25 super fast. Can be fixed within kernel.

I believe its just a placebo effect. Battery usage always depends on so many factors its a pain to even consider starting looking for the issue.
Being on stock KK5 not rooted, i cannot report the same. I only see "fast battery drain" at the last 4-5%. If you feel its an issue, could you post the firmware version you are on and the battery stats graph just for reference?
Placebo or not its something I can definitely feel on my Galaxy Note.

When you get the chance, could you post the battery stats graph please? what we should see is a (lets say) 30 degrees angle and at about halfway it gets steeper.
I know its quite hard to demonstrate the issue, but if you lets say use wifi to browse the first 50% in text only sites and then visit youtube for the last 50%, it won't help the test.
A nice way to test it would be to charge it to 100%, then load up a long movie and repeat playing it till the battery is 2-3%. Then post the results.

When the Wifi is disconnected, the 3G scanning will get on. Isn't that defeating the purpose?

Hey there!
I would suggest to load the battery 100%, plug it out, go into recovery and wipe battery stats.
I have to admit that I don´t know exactly what this workaround does, but I read about it in another forum...and it worked for me, my battery status is much more accurate now!

I'm back. I've had the Diagnosis app running for the past hour, and i got some interesting results.
---Wiping battery stats does not help---, a full charge automatically causes battery stats reset.
I full charged mine with the electric charger after fully discharging it without turning it on.
This time i didn't notice any change in discharge speed between 100%-50% and 50%-0%.
Last time I charged the phone it was not fully discharged. Charged it from 30% to 50% then 50% to 75% on the computer, and 75% to 100% using electric charger.
It's just a supposition, but maybe doing several partial charges while using the phone makes the battery % information inaccurate (wrong battery stats?).
[Edit]In this case, wiping battery stats should show accurate battery %. [/Edit]
I had a similar problem, and I think it is to do with some incorrect scaling or measurement.
I was down to 28%, and it seemed to be draining fast even though I was not using it. I rebooted (I love how quick that is after my Arc was so slow). On restart it was at 17% ! The usage graph just did an instant drop.
I also had another occasion where it remained at 100% for 2 1/5 hours of use.
I assume some calibration issues caused the meter to read the battery wrong. I am turning off on the w/e overnight (when I do not need the alarm) to see if a slow (180 mA) charge while off will help. I may even get a decent alarm clock so I can turn the phone off at nights and charge. I spend too much time in the morning checking my email and reading news!
What is more consistent on mine is that when the battery drops to 9% or less the loss is like 1% per ~10-15% and this is with wifi/3g off, phone locked.
I'm back again. I've had some serious battery drain the last couple of days, but i noticed that Auto Sync was enabled. Once i deactivated it it got much better. Pulled the phone from the charger 9 hours ago and i'm at 90% battery left. I've sent some SMS, a few calls and that's about it, but it doesn't drain while it's in standby now, so i'm happy with it.

What just happened? Extreme battery drain of 30% over night

Hi. Could some one tell me whag just happened? Before bed i charged my phone to 100%. I went to sleep and I wake up with 69% left. I just went on boom beach for a minute and on Internet to write this post and its already fallen to 66%...
I have screenshoted the info from samsung settings battery stats and from Gsambattery.
Btw usually i get about 4.5-5.5 hrs of SoT sometime even 6 amd sometime only 4. And this past few days ive been a little bit outside of the city centre and its a very low signal here. Like one bar as you can see. But 1 bar of signal cannot drain my battery for 31% during night or what? And i have AOD disabled from 00.00 - 6.00 and dont have night watch disabled. And druing sleep i only had wifi on. And i have been out of city center for 3 days now and i cant remember this happening on day 1 or day 2

I am not the op, and if you see the cell standby has drained less than 100mah which should be like 300 or more to drain 36% of battery
So anyways... Any suggestions? Should i maybe restart the phone? This happened for the first time now. I will see how its tonight. But i also think this isnt normal. 31% overnight... I just hope it was/is something with software or maybe an app or something. I hope it not a broken battery. Although i dont know how one day it works okay and next day its broken, but oh well.
i have also been having this same issue. overnight the battery curve is normally almost flat an now the past 2 nights I wake in the morning almost dead and when I check the graph its as if im using the phone and with very heavy usage at that. I was wondering if it was a rouge app but after looking at it no app was using power. I'll send some pictures at some later time today when I get a chance. I have a 935T by the way.

It happend to me too, not 31% overnight but something like 8-10%. What i did to solve it: went to location/improve accuracy and i disabled wifi always scanning and now it`s 2-3% over 8 hours with wifi on. Also i have 2 bars on LTE at home. 935F here.

Well i have location turned off all the time. I only turn it on when i need it.
This last 2 days have been ok. There wasnt that much drain overnight. I wasnt really checking how much it drained (i found that it usually drains me about 4-6% overnight, AOD off, all else off) i was just checking if it would be a really high drain like that 31% one. But it wasnt since the one i posted here so idk what caused that...
I do remember something else odd tho. Last week when i was charging my phone overnight i remember waking up in the middle of the night and it was really hot. I left it charging till morning and it was still quite hot, idk why.
And sth else also, my cat chewed my cable yestrday so i had to buy a new cable for charhing. I bought puro cable, 2m long, fast charge technology. And i think my phone now charges more slowly. I am not sure but i just think. It said it will charge 2hrs and 15min from 23%-100%. I dont remember if it was the same with old, original samsung cable or if that one was faster. And when i said i charged it overnight and when saying about how long it estimated the charge time i am talking about normal charhing and NOT about fast charging. I only fast charge when in a hurry. But anywaya i thought to post these things if it maybe has anything to do with anything at all.
Gotta lay off those late night videos.

Standby drain

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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Very interested about this, it's more important to me than SOT. If anyone can post their standby times that would be appreciated.

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

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.

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

do you use the glance or not and for how long?

Stopped using it as I found it more of a nuisance than anything else.

This was with Wi-Fi on, NFC on and double tap to wake and smart unlock (location) if that makes a difference.

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?

Losing 2-3% in 7-8 hours is not even close to being a problem.

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