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 HTC U11+'s battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

I have terrible standby drain, basically the phone never truly sleeps, it is kept awake on a low CPU frequency by Kernel (Android OS).
This is what I see in GSam, and I lose 20% battery over one night (8 hours).
This is why my battery life is somewhat 4 h SOT over 24 hours.
And I think this device should be capable of double that, maybe 7 h SOT over 24 hours.
Anybody else see this king of behaviour ?

I had same problem with my U11+
I reset application preferences and now the smartphone seems to go into deep sleep (Doze)

Had pretty bad standby battery drain recently on my U11+ and did 2 things that seemed to have fixed it.
1) Cleared cache on HTC Doze
2) Ram Boost+ for the first time and then enabled Smart Boost
Did these ard 12hrs ago and standby drain seemed to have improved a lot. Will report in a few days to let you guys know if it's really fixed for me or not.

Is a known issue and HTC is already working on it.
So far, they recommend to reboot the phone every 1-2 days to prevent this.

Reboot everyday !?!
It's a boring solution... and not the solution for my problem.

It is the workaround HTC recommended until they release the update with the fix.

I'm not having any standby drain even without rebooting my phone.

You have 3,5 hours of SOT from 29% battery ?, and with 11 hours off the carger.
At this rate you will get more that 10 hours of SOT.
This seems almost unreal to me... I don't even have half of that, with medium use...
Please share more... settings, apps, how do you do it ?

Battery drain
This is my situation, with the last software update! 6 hours awake screen off!

I've only disabled Bluetooth, so no more connection to Android Wear watch... Zero issues with sleep now, two full days easily done.

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 Honor 10's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

3-4% normal at night..

I got 3% drain during night with wifi off and single sim installed.

The last two nights my Honor 10 lost about 20% over night (approximately 8h) in Flightmode. I can't tell why... There is no app or hardware that consumes more power than usual. After I got my phone the SOT was about 6 hours, now it barely goes over 3 hours. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Mine loses 5-7 % overnight which seems rather bad to me. My Xiaomi Mi4 which I had before lost like 1-2 %...

Even though you disable mobile data phone will search continuously for 4g signal which is not available properly, which causes battery drain.

Not bad stats .. full day off charger with emails, phone calls, WhatsApp and lil bit of other social media too

This is my battery drain overnight.
Is this a problem? I expect a very near horizontal drain overnight of max 1% to 2%...
That doesn't look like 1% or 2%

Here is an update:
I tried to turn off every app in the battery settings so that they are not allowed to work in the background. That didn't help.
Then i turned off the wifi and bluetooth search for the location (GPS). That didn't help either.
After that i did some research and people with Honor 8 had the same problem and performed a "clear cache" via recovery so i did that too... What a surprise that didn't help. So i read some articles that the Google Pixel 2 and the One Plus 6 have some problems with the battery after the latest Oreo Update so i performed a factory reset aaand that didn't help...
So for fun i powered off my Honor 10 over night and the battery drain was also 20% and the phone was compeletly off.
I will now wait for the next Emui Update and if this will not help i have to exchange this phone.

Hello Everybody, sorry for the late reply.
I send the Honor back to the reseller and today it came back.
The display has been exchanged and two electronic components were exchanged (they did not specify which ones).
The problem seems solved with the repair of the phone.
For people who maybe have the same problem i attached the screenshot when the phone was completely powered off.
Thanks for your help

I got 2% drain during night with wifi off and single sim installed!

Bad Battery drain
Using it for two days only. Even with smart power saver and sleep mode on the battery drains pretty fast on standby mode. It went from 13% to 0 in 5 hours(overnight). Which does not happen on my other phone (Asus zenfone max pro m1). Don't know if it is a software thing as the soc is pretty efficient as far I understand and the zenfone runs stock android.
P.S. Why do they remove the screen on time.
P.P.S. I wish the settings app was easier to navigate.

This has become way too annoying mow. Last night it was 20% I switched on 'Super High Power Efficiency' hoping hardly any power will be consumed as they kill the background processes. But this morning found it switched off.
When I checked the power usage it appears background tasks were running and they hogged up all the juices.
Now I regret not buying a phone with optimized software. I have read other phones (nokia 8.1, mi 8 se) with the same 710 soc and 3k mAh battery runs almost 2 days. Mine lasts barely a day.

mine too, same issue. i am looking for custom rom that can solve the issue

also moved from a Zenfone Max Pro M1, was disappointed by the drain. However after checking power usage details, my camera app was running throughout the night, so I've disabled it for now and am using another camera app.

How do you disable system apps? Pls tell me.

Guys, I have been using this for few days. For me standby time is excellent, last night it was 26 when I wake up it is 22%: I don't even turn off internet at night.
Probably this might work for you, go settings>battery>screen battery optimization> set it to balanced.

I got my phone yesterday
my battry was also draining fast
after check i found camera app using battery in background
Solution
Disable face unlock- it keeps your camera app ON always so put it off.

Did the issue gone after u disable face unlock?
Thank you

I bought it in the first sale and I'm not facing any such issue. I got SOT of 7 to 9 hours depending on my use (I don't play games).
To check the Screen on time on realme 3 pro follow the below steps:
Install Gsam battery monitor
Goto settings > battery
Disable Smart Power Saver
Select 'Custom Power Consumption Protection'
Select GSam battery monitor and allow background running.
This will OS will not kill it and it will be able to measure properly.

Please understand that this device is just released and OS is not fully optimised yet. I'm sure oneplus will address the issues with upcoming updates. You're previous device must have gone through lot of updates to fully eliminate the bugs to achieve those results

Hmm it's not that simple ... Some updates as the one for my previews phone that did that 1% of draining passes through newer phones... As you've noticed my phone was Nexus 6p from 2015 realeased date and the other guy mentioned the same thing for the pixel 2xl whose realeased date was two years later. So having been said that thing, it means older phones of OnePlus have the same behavior or probably worse than the 7 but any has as good as Google phones for example. I hope they will fix it as you've said though

Getting 2% drain overnight, rather consistently. WiFi on, BT/4G off. On newest OS version 9.5.5

Mine drained 3% after 8 hours of standby 4G volte is on WiFi on and everything else is switched off.. coming from s8 plus i consider this as a great standby [emoji28], usually my s8 plus will drain around 5 to 7% after 8 hrs of standby
Sent from my GM1901 using Tapatalk

Never tested how much standby drain I get at night but compared to the Mi9 it's much better!

Don't know what's happening, but I'm losing more than 30-35% from 3-4 days. Phone's not rooted, so I'm having tough time to find culprit.

Same setting on OP7, overnight drop 8% at latest, even already enabling battery saver mode, only installing 14 apps, a little bit disappointing.

4% within 7h44m = 0.5%/h:good: overnight with dual sim mobile network enabled, wifi off.

I had like 3% drop on 4.30hrs overnight. Usually sleep at 1.00AM and wake up at 5.30AM, went on 79%, woke up on 76%. Dual sim on, Wifi On. mobile data bluetooth and all other connectivity settings are turned off.

I still get 7% of drain overnight. It doesn't get any better.
Today I left the wifi on and drained 13%.

Latest OTA introduced some bug. I tried fixing it with wiping cache, it does not help. Others tried wiping whole phone, does not help either. Just gotta wait for Samsung to fix it...

I think disabling location scanning with wifi and bluetooth fixed the drain for me.

Did all the battery saving tweaks available on my regular Exynos S21 (including location scanning with WiFi + Bt), but I'm still experiencing from 3-3.5% idle battery drain. I'm seriously considering a return but have only two remaining days to decide.

Experiencing the same.. After February patch the idle drain on mobile data is crazy high. Losing around 6-7% per hour in idle.

5-6% is premium... once i plug off the device from charger in around 5 hours standby (no wifi, 4g, nfc, bt active) 20% battery drain... this is crazy..

Sorry everyone, I did not fix anything. It seemed like this for me yesterday but it went to s*** at night. It's faulty OTA and Samsung is apparently aware of the issue. We have to wait for the update unfortunately... Nice QA

What for if I may ask? I'm basically using it with wifi all the time and VoWIFI so not sure it even uses mobile atm, bluetooth off as well. Still draining

Hi everyone. I don't think I have the same issue you say after february update. What I have realised is that DQA service, that you can see in System apps, takes more than 100% of battery used since last full charge. I usually plug the charger when the phone is around 20% and I stop it when its about 80%, so I wonder if that service is adding % because it needs to count since the very beggining of battery %, I mean, 100%.
Edited: I left the phone in plane mode last night at 10:30 with 80% till 6:30 this morning, having changed to 78%, so it's a normal drain of battery, I think.
I´ll try this weekend with carrier range on in 2G and will comment.

today there was new update for s21 series. let's see what happens with it.

Installed today's new update and it seems to have sorted the drain.
Let's see how it goes overnight and a full day tomorrow.

In what country is the update available?

For those who read XDA from Spain, the second February update to solve battery drain while using 4G has already been released today in that county.

This video was useful for two S21 settings and setups for me

Hello folks, I got my first Samsung phone (S21 5G Exynos) around mid of Februar. The Phone installed the latest Firmware/Software (AUB8) without problems. What really chocked me was the drastic power drain during standby in the nights. Overnight in standby, always about 30% (!) battery drain. Regardless whatever settings, powersavings etc. That's about 3% per hour loss (in standby!), absolute crazy.
Yesterday I found somebody in the QXDA forum that suggested:
TURN OFF the VoLTE ==== Bingo!!!
I have now only around 5% loss during the night in standy (5G activated, power saving turned off)
Thank's a lot for the help through this forum.
I hope Samsung brings an update with optimized lower VoLTE power usage.

hello
Thanls @Mickepilot for the tips
Personnaly i put my S21 in airplane mode all the nighty and i loss 1 % for 7 hour, it's really correct and i don't for call during my sleep )

Unfortunately, Samsung did NOT fix the standby drain issue with ACTIVATED "VoLTE" in the new "AUBB" update. The battery still drains about 3% per hour with "VoLTE" selected ON.
However, with "VoLTE" switched OFF, I get only about 0.5% drain per hour. Same as before the update.
