Poor batter life

I changed from Note 3 to s 6 edge plus recently
The battery drops 5% per hour overnight when not in use. If I go to bed with less than 40% battery at night I am sure to wake up with my phone switched off in the morning.
When in use with screen on, the battery drips one percent every two minutes. This is the worst battery life I have ever seen in a phone. I was a long loyal customer of samsung and this is my last samsung phone ever.
Extremely disappointed

Please post your battery stats ? so we can have a better understanding of your problem. I suggest you install 'Doze' which should stop unnecessary apps from connecting to the internet and causing your phone to awake from deep sleep.

Dear Akbar 11
Heres the battery stats....is it normal?

I had the same issue, and as far as I managed to find out, it is a bug in Samsung's kernel. Flashing Arter97 kernel solved the issue for, but do post battery stats from SmartManager. If it says 'Android' or 'Android OS', then you have the same problem many of us do.

I don't think it's a kernel problem. My android OS is very low 4%. Like zoolok said post your battery stats from settings, battery, battery usage

I have the same problem. Battery was great before I flash custom rom. After going back to stock I have big battery draining. I must stay on custom rom. With Audax rom and Skyhigh kernel i have great battery life.

You have either messed up something big or you have an app in the background that is eating up your battery like no tomorrow.
And the reason i say that is because i recently got this battery life on my Galaxy S6 edge+.
And this was taken 2 days ago.
Here i use the CRISSCROSS ROM, AudaxPro Kernel, Greeinify and Samsung's own 'Appoptimizing' feature (same as Doze in Android 6.0).
So my battery life is pretty awesome.

i have problem whit battery lose 25% when i sleep

This is a usual day with s6 edge plus

Any help?

i have this problem battery ... if u fixed it tell me how?

Well I was expecting Google Play Services to be eating your battery (which is quite common) but it looks like your Andriod OS is eating the most battery. I would uninstall Facebook and use the web version it always helps with the ram and battery furthermore, turn off location if you are not using it and check accounts which are being synced. These are the only tips I can give you as I have never seen Android OS drain so much battery.

Since a few days Google Play Store is eating up my battery: I go to sleep with 100% batt and wake up with 50%, if I check batt stats on top I have play store at 45%, with 5h active a d 2h of CPU.
Follows Android system at 5%.
Going crazy why...

Battery life discussion

Let's see how that 4000 mAh battery, EMUI optimization, and Nougat stack up! Post your screenshots, of graph and screen on time.

4th day with my mate 9, it isn't as good as the mate 8 but still very decent. Hopefully emui will be tuned better by huawei. Mostly on wifi today. Lots of WhatsApp and watched some NBA highlights.

Pretty good I think, WiFi on almost all the time

Hi ! My battery life : chrome, YouTube, vidéo and music player, Facebook, greader, tapatalk... No gaming, gps, camera...
Coming from Sony Xperia z2 with 5h30 -6h30 SOT , I am very happy with this phone
View attachment 3957838
View attachment 3957840

I get an average of 7.5-8.5 hours of SoT depending on my signal. I heavily use email, social media apps, messaging apps, and other internet browsing. GPS navigation usage as well. Most of the time on 50% brightness.

Hi my mate 9' battery consumption level for the software section is way higher than you guys do, escpecially for the android system, over 35%. Can anyone help me?

Can you tell me if the B135 firmware already have the camera improvements? Thank you.

One mistake I did was to use Google Backup restore from my previous phone. I ended up with a heavily battery drained phone. Google Cal Sync killed the phone, and many Samsung, CM, and Google apps that were not needed (Dialer, Contacts, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, etc..) ended up in the phone, causing a huge drain. I had to do a factory-reset and start fresh and only install the really needed apps. I highly recommend against doing a full restore from google when moving between phones.

Well, I was verry happy I did.
So it's not the same for everyone.

Deep sleep is also related with battery life. How is yours?

i updated to B135 out of the box, so no comparison to earlier version.

I'm finding excellent battery life. Yesterday I used it frequently throughout the day (email, text, FB and interweb) and listened to music wirelessly and still has 30% remain at bedtime. Superb phone.

After updating my MHA-AL00 to B137, I am getting even better SOT about 8.5h with 18% juice left after a heavy whole day use, including 4-hour youtube streaming. very happy with the battery life now.

This phone is ridiculously ridiculous! 7 hours sot with 50% remaining. Mostly on wifi though. All the time on 4g gives me over 11 hours sot.
This includes overnight sleep where I lost 2%
Great thing about the phone is the awake stats look exactly the same as screen on stats, that's excellent, phone is fast asleep when screen is off. GPS on all the time.
Finally, this is the phone I've been waiting for. No longer afraid to use it

Today not as good battery life. 5 hours sot with 60% left, so probably 6 hours at 50% left.
That's nothing to complain about at all. Have to say I don't game much at all. When I do battery plummets. Still good though

Stock QC2 Firmware - Battery tips?

Hi Friends,
Just wonder if this is normal for this phone, or you guys could give me some pointers for extending my battery life, specifically the Screen On Time?
I have:
- Stock QC2 firmware - I believe this is Nougat with the March security patch
- No Facebook installed (Disabled)
- I am on data about 8 hours a day, rest is WiFi, Bluetooth for my Watch, and NFC is off
- Generally use a black and red theme
- Doing Ad blocking with the AdClear VPN solution
- Sometimes I make conference calls of under 2 hours
- No games, no YouTube watching
With this set I can barely manage like 3 hours of SOT. Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? Any pointers? Thanks!

3 hours SOT is not normal for unrooted stock. I would suggest downloading GSam Battery Monitor and finding out what is hogging the battery. Note that you will need to manually enable the battery statistics permission with ADB for some reason, but after that it will work like normal.
The top two lines should be Android System and Kernel. If you see any non-system app in the vicinity, that is your likely culprit unless you can explain it with normal usage (for example, Firefox is at the top of the list on mine because I surf the web with it)
Alternately, if nothing odd shows up, you may have a bad battery.

The other thing you might take a look at is shutting off the Location setting that scans Wifi/Bluetooth. That is a massive battery killer

Thank you for the helpful responses guys! I'll try GSam Battery stuff... What are your SOTs BTW?
Thanks!

Also my vibration is always on, my back lit keys are always on, and a 30 second screen timeout time, if it helps? Thanks!

Finally, this is the AT&T model with all the bloat disabled.

I'm typically off charge 18 hours and on data the entire time. I do run a Exchange email app that pushes email, my SOT isn't really huge, maybe around 2-3 hours and I also have BT always on and connected to my S3 Frontier. At the end of my day, I end up with with battery around 50% ish.........
Did you recently update, or did you do a clean install? Sometimes the battery can take a few days to settle in

That's pretty amazing! Yes, clean install and updated from MM to Nougat and then the latest patch.

Battery life is SO subjective. The app's installed and the person's usage habits play a massive part in battery life, and you saying that you never get what others are, speak a lot to that.
The built in optimizers in Nougat seem to do a pretty good job at putting unused battery sucking apps to sleep.

I agree bud, so I think my usage pattern must be horrible, cause from the earliest Androids like Droid Incredible to Axon 7 and S7 Edge and others, I never get what people mention. And some of their claimed usage is ridiculous, they say they play games all day, LTE, Videos and still get like 5 hours or etc... Boggles my mind. My biggest battery hog I suspect is my VPN based AdGuard, maybe the vibration, but compared to gaming and etc, they sound so insignificant.

This is a actually normal for USA SAMSUNG battery which is why no1 should get Galaxy S7 on USA carriers battery is even 100 maH smaller at 3500. Battery is always crap usa versions. And I am stuck in them nougat is bad for battery nothing you can do but downgrade to Android 6.0.1 with Odin. Best battery I can upload a vid for proof att Samsung S7 edge battery sucks and so will all USA carriers s8 never buying Samsung again GG. Switch phones best option iPhones have best battery but I hate them. I'd go for a phone with biggest mAh in specs and read reviews for battery. If downgrading doesn't work sorry for all Samsung lovers who read this it's just fact if you actually compare USA version to international. Battery on international is 92 ish hours not even close on USA version +1 sorry for my rant. Second best option I went to zero lemon and got a battery charging case that was like 10000 something maH and I never loose battery because I keep case on entire time makes phone weigh 4 pounds tho

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, bud, I think I would agree, this must be reality. An update for me, seems like getting rid of the VPN based Adblocker has helped battery. Last night, I finally got 4 hours SOT, but that was with the VPN app. Trying without it all day, let's see how it goes.
BTW, hands down, the best battery I have ever seen in the US is on the Huawei Mate 9, even on Nougat. The HUGE battery helps, but legitimately, I was getting 7 hours of SOT.
Thanks guys!

Got the attached SOT after turning off the VPN based ad blocker and using it as needed, rather than on the whole time... Is this closer to normal? ?

I only get 3-4hrs SOT but it is connected to my huawei watch and music is playing when it connects to my bluetooth fm transmitter in my car. I also usually have it plugged in while driving. The best battery life SOT I've seen is on the moto z play. My sister has that phone and she got almost 9hrs SOT. Usually gets at least 7. Someone got over 10.

brand new s8, questionable battery life

guys i played with my new snapdragon s8 last night for like 2-3 hours and set everything up and i love it!
the only worry is so far the battery drain is a little more than i would like compared to my exynose S7 Edge. I have all the same apps and accounts setup now on my s8, and just in the few hours i played with it last night the battery drain was more than the s7e was in the past with that same medium/high brightness and watching a lot of videos and installing apps.
then last night, my new s8 on AIRPLANE mode overnight lost about 10-11% battery life which seems too much on airplane mode, my s7e exynos would loose only a few % overnight on airplane mode.
maybe the phone battery needs to calibrate for a few days? maybe the OS needs to optimize itself more? idk. but right now its morning here and im going to charge it too 100% and see how it fares throughout my work day

When you first get a phone, it'll use a lot more battery until it is fully set up and settled in. I give my new phones at least a week to properly settle before I make any judgement on the battery life.
Remember, you've downloaded, lots of apps, synced accounts and various bits. Give it a few days before you worry about it

cool ill figure out how to do that and try it

Give it a couple days and update us again - you can also use AccuBattery for a more detailed statistic.
~10% overnight with airplane mode is truly a lot. You should be getting about 1% overnight drain after the phone settles.

I get about 3 hours of SOT if i'm lucky on mine. I play a lot of BT Spotify in my truck as i'm in and out of my vehicle all day long. I was hoping for better, I even followed the guide to disable a bunch of the packages etc thinking i'd get more and didnt raise it any.

Any improvements in standby battery drain with Oreo ?

Hello,
I am an LG fan (mainly due to the always-on display and the reliable tap to wake/sleep functions which I find tremendously useful) and since the G7 was launched (too big of a phone and too small battery for my needs) I decided that the G6 may actually fit my needs better due to being smaller and having a bigger battery (and the perfectly flat screen of the G6 which allows me to use an invisible tempered glass protector).
But I'm worried about battery life, especially stand-by. I need a phone that lasts 2 days with like 2-3h of SOT (I don't use the phone much but I really need it to have low standby drain). From what I read until now, the standby drain is a bit of a hit and miss with the G6...
I was wondering if the new Oreo release brings any improvements in standby drain ? Does anyone have experience with it ?
Thanks !

Idle battery drain mainly depends on the apps you use and whether they sleep ok or misbehave. I can use my G6 for 2 days...

call me pessimistic, but i never had better battery life after my phone was updated to the next release of software. It could be partially because battery life was depleted after long period of waiting for updates. I can say that with Samsung S8 and Sony and HTC10, it was definitely a case. I do not expect miracle with G6 either.
will be happy if someone can show me otherwise

Has anyone with a Korean G6 that has actually been updated to Oreo noticed any changes in either battery life or standby battery drain. Quite a few people are hoping for improvements in standby battery drain as this was a known problem with Nougat 7.0. If you could also state how old your G6 is, as some peoples phones may be over a year old and be suffering from battery degradation. My 9 month old H870DS, set up how i want it, loses 20-25 percent of battery in 8 hours overnight. This phone must be charged daily overnight or topped up regularly.

You may have some bad apps. I never loose more than 3-5% over night with wifi on.

i have G600L from Korea, and i can assure that Oreo has not had any improvements on standby drain. Well the good thing is that it doesn't get any worse.

That has been my experience with other phones as well. Even if some new battery saving technique is built into the new OS, it is more than compensated for by the bloat of the new OS and updated apps, which have more services running in the background.

On average, people in this forum have been reporting idle battery drain of 2-3% per hour. However there is quite a bit of variation both day to day in the same device and between devices. You have been one of the lucky ones, most likely having nothing to do with what apps or settings you do or don't use. 2 seperate threads have been devoted to dealing with the problem, but nothing consistently helps. Most likely either a hardware issue, like the radio cycling hi or low power, or something in Nougat that LG might or might not fix (according to the post above they did not...)
Regarding "misbehaving" apps-- basically almost every useful app has that potential, since so much functionality of the smartphone revolves around the ability to multitask or run in the background. So if you want to leave the phone with only stock apps, install nothing, and block all syncing, reminders or notifications, I'm sure you can modestly reduce the idle drain, but so what? It negates the whole point of the smartphone... I remember I could get a whole week out of my Nokia 3150 candybar phone
I'd be interested to learn which apps you have and what settings you changed.

I loose about 3% over night with WiFi, BT and location = high precision. I have and use many apps (>120) but most of them are productivity tools, VPN, etc. I use only ad free and many paid apps e.g. Maildroid pro for email. Maybe ad free is one of the reasons as I'll have less background activity. On the other hand my Voip client (Grandstream Wave) is always on and I still have no idle issue...

I debloated pretty much every uneccessary app (i'd say 60-70 apps) when i was in nougat and so as in oreo. I've never experienced drastic battery drain on either version. I never leave wifi on when i go to bed, so I'd say I loose around 1% overnight (in nougat as well as oreo). So there u have it, don't expect to much from Oreo, you're not going to have an immense boost in terms of battery, nor in the overall perfomance of the phone. Still, I'm very with this phone

Interesting that there are such huge differences between users. I do have a few ad supported apps, maybe that explains part of the difference.

Hello everyone! how do you reach certain levels of autonomy? I have a few apps on my smartphone and yet I dream of your values, how do you do it? do you have any special settings? have you run any particular command in ADB? I noticed that my phone is particularly slow on startup and once turned on (with 0 apps open) it has a use of RAM. more than 50%, is it normal?
thank you

screen saver is the issue

When I leave mine at 100% charge before going to bed at night, it's still at 100% the morning after. So, a 1% change the whole night is not bad (nor extra-ordinary).
I have my wifi and bluetooth always on. But I don't have the screen at "always on" setting. My email sync settings are on "smart" mode. Other installed apps which may run in the background are News app, GroupMe, My Data Manager, and NetGuard.

Has anyone with a Korean G6 that has actually been updated to Oreo noticed any changes in either battery life or standby battery drain. Quite a few people are hoping for improvements in standby battery drain as this was a known problem with Nougat 7.0. If you could also state how old your G6 is, as some peoples phones may be over a year old and be suffering from battery degradation. My 9 month old H870DS, set up how i want it, loses 20-25 percent of battery in 8 hours overnight. This phone must be charged daily overnight or topped up regularly.

10 months old H870DS, HKG firmware, no battery degradation because with nougat I charged it at 1.5 to 2 days. 2 SIM cards standby, 4G networks, active use of the phone and I was getting around 3h SOT with a 20-24h standby. Now after Oreo I'm getting max 2.5, under 3h SOT with the same 24h standby. I did a factory reset after upgrading via LG Bridge, and did a upgrade with LG UP and kdz V20a - no change at all. I suppose that the system is draining more battery than it should under use.View attachment 4526726
