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 Note5'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!
I'll test this later today. Charge my phone to 100%, and right before I close my eyes, I'll unplug and see how it does. I'm curious as well.
Typically 0.5% per hour or less with lots of bloatware disabled (200+ apps). Couple gmail accounts, s note and scrapbook syncing.

So I unplugged my phone when it reached 100% and got a notification saying the battery is fully charged and unplugged it at 10:40 pm. About 7 hrs and 20 mins later, my phone dropped to 93%. That's about 1% every hour. My phone is stock, no root (yet) with 17 apps disabled. WiFi is on, brightness was on the lowest setting and all accounts on my phone sync through the the night.
I've never done this with one of my previous phones, so I can't really give you my opinion on how I feel about this. Let me know what you guys think. I'll try disabling some more apps and doing the test again and see if that has some effect.

if you are rooted and have xposed. download Mobileactiveradiofix...bassically some apps you are using that utilize mobile data, after you turn off the screen it still using data....thats the gist of it.
Drain about 1% per hour.
Tried 3G all the way. Not much savings compared to LTE all day
I have the 920CD Dual sim. Horrible Battery standby. I lose 2 - 3% per hour on android system usage while i'm sleeping.
I tried disabling apps etc but to no avail!
During night my phone consumes up to 30% of battery, my stand-by is 16hrs at max!!!. I love my phone but there is an obvious problem about it.
On the other side my wife has the same phone and her battery withstands up to two(2!) days.
(Hers is running on stock firmware with simple tuning, mine is also on stock but i checked and disabled almost everything)
My phone is ; N920CXXU1AOH2 hers is N920CXXU1AOGF. Is there a way i clone her phone firmware and copy into mine?
I think you guys above may have Wakelock. Mine started up recently and it drains up to 15% of my battery from just a bit under 2 hours. Before that it would be fine. Unplugged all night (8hours) and lost 2-3% battery
I couldn't believe this rating was so low. This is the best at standby. Absolutely phenomenal. It's literally around 1-2% an hour. I can get home after 11hrs and still have 70% left. Usually it's around 50% with 2 hrs of screen on time / use.
Got an update yesterday. ..it includes the doze feature from marshmallow. ..vastly improved the standby time
ścribbled from my Note 5
I wouldn't call 1-2% per hour idle time phenomenal, It's average at best.
0.5% per hour (or 2 hours per 1%) I'd say that's very good.
3 hours per 1%, that's excellent. This happens to be my Xperia Z3 Compact's idle time when I sleep.
Phenomenal? It would need to be 4 hours per 1% idle time.
My Note 5 is doing 1% per hour currently.
My iPhone 6s Plus can go over 7 hours standby and still be at 100%. One of my biggest peeves with Android was battery drain. Just switched with the release of the 6s and am very happy. Had the Note 5 and still have the Nexus 6. The doze feature still can't even come close. And it only works if the phone is shelved. Not in the pocket. Not good enough for me.
Please everyone who has the drain, write samsung feedback on their support website. It is most of the time caused by the wlan_rx_wake, wlan_cntrl_wake and wlan_wake wakelocks. I am trying to find a fix but so far nothing has helped me except turning off wifi.

Really? I can live without WiFi most of the time if it helps my battery.
I was getting great battery life, I stopped using the Note 5 for about 3 weeks while I reviewed some other devices and when I return I'm loosing 5% an hour, doing nothing. I've done a factory reset once, slightly better, but still not great. Might try another tomorrow.
Let us know if you find a fix.

just like you .. I come from a s6 and did not have this problem, hopefully be resolved soon
During night, I switch off mobile network and wifi, but both SIM still active for phonecalls. Drain this way is around 0.5% per hour or 3%-4% per night - depending on how long I sleep
Frankly, I only used the phone with the latest update so, I have no idea about battery performance before it. Anyways, I'm getting great overnight battery performance, with 3% dropping in 7-8 hours (mobile data, wifi and bluetooth off).
all data and BT off and you're dropping 3%? Turn your phone off and you'll drop 0%
Mediaserver, system and kernel kill my standby. Is it worth factory reset or should I hang out for marshmallow?
Idle battery drain is driving me crazy.
I've got three phones here for comparison, the Essential, an original Mi Max, and a Mi Max 2.
The Essential is on the latest 7.1.1 firmware, the Mi Max is on a 7.1 AOSP based ROM (RR), and the Max 2 is on stock MIUI 9 (7.1).
All three phones are running the exact same apps, same apps doze optimized, same features turned on, and everything else exactly the same. Same wifi network, same email polling time, same messages delivered each one, same wifi calling enabled.
Average screen off battery drain:
Essential: 1.4%/hr
Max: 0.3%/hr
Max 2: 0.2%/hr
It's not completely fair to compare per hour drain because the battery size difference. Normalizing the battery size to the Essential phone:
Essential (3040mAh): 1.4%/hr
Max (4850mAh): 0.48%/hr
Max 2 (5300mAh): 0.35%/hr
So the Essential is draining approximately 3x as much battery during idle, and I really am expecting something like 0.5% or less per hour.
What's the key to battery life?
Same problem, came here to see what is up. Looking at the graph, it looks like it took a while for the phone to go into deep sleep, but even using better battery stats, I can't peg down where all the wake time is coming from.
I am on Android 7.1.1 NM181C and have .03 per hour idle drain.

Something is keeping the phone awake with the OS being awake for 8 hours! You need to track down a rogue app I think

Currently I'm only using all Google app except what's app, Facebook and telegram. Not even 30 apps
Could any setting can also drain OS ?
Thank you for your reply
Your comparison of the 2 phones come with 6 series processors which are known to have way better battery life than the 8 series SOCs. You get better performance with the 835 vs the 625 by a long shot but you get battery life.
The battery life on the Essential is fantastic because of stock android and the best for that processor I've seen out there.

I've found something interesting today after reading 100's of post about battery drain. Most of the time my type c to 3.5mm adapter is always connected to my phone at nights.
And I've seen the message 'USB supply power to attached device' Thought that message in status is irritating I ignored it and I found out that is the culprit which doesn't let my phone go to deep sleep.
And I tested this using 'CPU spy'.
Ive been experiencing a battery drain myself. A couple of nights ago i took it off the charger at 100% about 5 hrs later it was at 88% and the phone was sitting idle the entire time and i closed all the apps that were running.
Same problems here with Oreo beta (NMJ32F). This night, I got 20% off during the night (8h) with airplane mode on; you can find battery historian capture attached.
Although the battery historian has overflown, note that BLE scanning is always on during the night and, moreover, I got lots of kernel wakeups (not userspace) due to the following concept:
Ranking Name Duration / Hr Count / Hr Total Duration Total Count
0 Abort:noirq suspend of c171000.uart device failed 46m53s294ms 5066.45 10h57m56.452s 71093
So CPUs are always on... Let's hope for a fix soon!
Best regards,
I'm having the opposite experience. I went to bed last night at 94% and woke up 7 hours later at 93%
I go to sleep and not surprised if I don't lose any percent...
I've been seeing 22% drain over night if I turn my WIFI on
is your essential share diagnostics on?

You serious? Assuming you're sleeping 6 to 8 hours, 6% to 8% is literally 1% drain, and that's great. That's 100 hours of standby, and that is totally acceptable for a high-end phone. The other guy is getting 10% drain an hour, that's a problem. I'm getting a little more than 1% drain on idle, but I charge over night, but I still have between 40% and 60% battery left by the time I go to bed. My OPO would have about the same when it was new with COS 11. By the time it broke (3 years later, and on Lineage 13) I would be 10% if I was being conservative with its use.
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?

screen saver is the issue
setting-->display-->screen saver. Turn that off if you are still in andriod 7.0.
I did that after saw someone's post, and my one year old LG G6 back to normal battery condition. Now I can get 20% remain by 10PM at night, after start using it since 6AM, with regular web browering, gaming and video viewing.

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.

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

Phone lost 24% overnight. Culprit seems to be Facebook services, which in turn triggered Google services (for GPS location). I've disabled all the FB crap now and I'll see how it goes today...
Update 19/02 - I'm using Swipe Pro for Facebook and since then the battery seems to have settled. Getting really good battery life now with not too much standby drain.
The 730G is dreadful on my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 - which has an even bigger, ~5200mAh battery. It performs much worse than my OnePlus 7 Pro with 4000mAh. IMO the chipset (730/730G) is NOT power efficient.

Likely a device specific problem. Notebookcheck test power consumption in idle, sd 730/g phones are within the same range of comparable mid range SOCs. A71 in particular consumes pretty much the same as Pixel 3a for example (Snapdragon 670), more under load but it's quite a bit more powerful as well, consumes less than Galaxy A51 (Exynos 9611), way less than Huawei P30 lite (Kirin 710) and quite a bit less than Oneplus 7 pro as well for that matter. It uses the same modem as sd 710 and 712 so that's not a problem either.
I have 2-4% standby battery drain. But I checked all apps for background battery usage, I don't use facebook app. The only background apps I use are email, sense flip clock and I use greenify on top of that.

I have about 15% battery drain in flight mode during the night. I feel this is a CATASTROPHY! What is causing this??? Is there a FREE app that can find what app is doing this? If I check in the settings, it says all apps has drained 0% during the night..
Hey, am thinking of buying an A71 and was wondering if you still have battery issues please?
I have wifi off and Bluetooth for watch, No FB . I get 1 or 2% loss mainly messenger lite , and my games I don't shut down .. with wifi on an average day its about 40% loss . that with wifi always on , games being played, youtube etc ... Since taking of FB I have noticed a huge difference, as before I was loosing 10/20 % at night and 70% in the day ... now I charge once every 2 days, which is not bad ...

if U use Facebook Messenger , just remove it and test your phone again
if its not gonna helpful , just check what app drain your battery in setting
Same problem. Just got mine and lost 25% overnight. AOD is not even on. I disabled Facebook the instant I took it out of the box so it isn't that. Must be another app but not sure which. All the same apps I was using on my previous device and had no issues like this.
My battery life is horrible on my A71, I come home from work with 10%, on my P20 Pro which has a smaller battery is 65-70%. I have already used package disabler to disable the crap and its still happening. Going to be returning this phone.
Standby Drain on A71 Samsung
I have the phone for 1 week now and the battery I can say is performing very poor. Just got it to 100% then after 1 minute suddenly went to 99% and after 5 mins suddenly went to 98% just on standby mode. Can anyone please explain me why this is happening?
My device is always optimized (no background processes running). Every app (even the useful ones) I have put to sleep, which means I'm sacrificing on not getting the notifications when the internet is connected as those those apps are put to sleep but I did it just to put my battery on right track. Still no significant benefit.
Standby drain is the biggest issue I'm facing. Early 2% drops from 100% for no reason at all. At night time, I see at least 3% drop in 4 to 5 hours standby with wifi off and zero brightness and dark mode on and always-on display disabled, battery saving mode on and no app running in the background.
I'm having 1% battery drop every 10 mins for just reading comments on XDA developer or GSMArena with brightness to 0%, no extra app working in background, have put all the apps to sleep when not in use, no multimedia use, always-on display disabled, dark mode on, battery saving mode on. So, when I'm using Chrome, I'm only using Chrome. When I'm watching Youtube videos on app with 20% brightness and 60% volume, I'm having 1% drop every 7 to 8 mins. I see variability between each % drop. Like for example, sometimes it drops 1% at 4 mins interval and after that it will take 8 mins to drop a percent.
I have never been so confused in terms of battery life before. Someone from Samsung should at least come forward and explain to us what is going on.
From the reviews, the new updates doesn't have much to offer in terms of battery life. I haven't gotten the update yet.

I have the phone for 1 week now and the battery I can say is performing very poor. Just got it to 100% then after 1 minute suddenly went to 99% and after 5 mins suddenly went to 98% just on standby mode. Can anyone please explain me why this is happening?
My device is always optimized (no background processes running). Every app (even the useful ones) I have put to sleep, which means I'm sacrificing on not getting the notifications when the internet is connected as those those apps are put to sleep but I did it just to put my battery on right track. Still no significant benefit.

Had the same issue and no matter what I did couldn’t fix it. I turned this off turned that off, lowered this, reduced that. In the end I gave up and returned it. Shouldn’t be that much of an effort but then it always seems to be with Samsung. Huawei for example it’s just ready to go and works flawlessly out of the box. For a phone that had 4500mah battery it performs nothing like it. I bought the new iPhone SE, it’s battery is tiny 1800mah or something and it lasts longer than the A71.
47% overnight, with no use. It's my second A71. The first, the battery seemed normal. But I did not observe this detail carefully. I changed it the first time due to the infamous discoloration defect of the screen on a gray background with low brightness. Now the second, in addition to the same discoloration defect of the screen, the battery does not last! I went to sleep, the battery at 47%. Wifi off. Mobile data off. GPS off. Bluetooth turned off. Vibration off. Always on Display off. NFC Off. Sim card removed. Only Whatsapp running in the background. All other apps have been configured to be suspended in the background. Approximately 8 hours later, without any use, the battery has zeroed. I have a Samsung Galaxy A7 2017, which has 3 years of use and a 3600MAh battery worn by hundreds of charge cycles, and yet its battery is WELL better than the Galaxy A71, which has 4500MAh and a few days of use. If a new cell phone discharges at this rate, imagine after about 2 years of use. You will need to recharge every hour. Turning the adaptive battery on or off for me made no difference. During normal use, it discharges quickly, but the problem is much more evident at night, when the device is not in use. It seems to drain as much energy in idle mode as in normal use.
The quality of Samsung's products is dropping every day. 3 years ago, you could buy an intermediary made of metal and glass. Protection IP68, OIS and Gorilla Glass 4. Today, the devices that cost almost the same as the high end, are all made of plastic. Without IP68. Gorilla Glass 3 (obsolete technology from 2013), without OIS, and batteries that although bigger, last less. Quality decreases and price increases. It is unfortunate.

The 730G is dreadful on my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 - which has an even bigger, ~5200mAh battery. It performs much worse than my OnePlus 7 Pro with 4000mAh. IMO the chipset (730/730G) is NOT power efficient.

I have the 730G 8GB ram variant on my A71 (This is the standard in the PH) and my phone lasts for 2 days with social media and youtube usage. OST is between 6-7 hours so no issues with the chip itself, the phone software is probably not optimized properly with the Mi Note 10.

So what's happening to the other people in this thread? Is it a case of just too many bad apples (bad/broken devices) or... ?

I think we need to put things into context first. None of them talked about what apps they had running, what settings they used, etc. Also, the other dude talked about the Huawei when that phone is known to aggressively kill apps very quickly in the background to save battery as a default. You can also do that with Sammy's but you need to activate it first.
As for my phone, it's set on its default out of the box-setting which is optimized if that at all matters.

I think we also need to look at which carriers are having issues. I have an open line international variant and I've had none of the issues in this thread.

Hey, am thinking of buying an A71 and was wondering if you still have battery issues please?

If you can find an open line (not tied to any carrier) international variant, it doesn't have any issues.

Phone lost 24% overnight. Culprit seems to be Facebook services, which in turn triggered Google services (for GPS location). I've disabled all the FB crap now and I'll see how it goes today...
Update 19/02 - I'm using Swipe Pro for Facebook and since then the battery seems to have settled. Getting really good battery life now with not too much standby drain.

Mine was a bit power hungry at first 6 months ago
Now that i shut off and tried to kill all processes but active ones my battery is AMAZING!
So to compare I read your post last night at around 11 ish to midnight topped off the phone to 94%, and it dropped to 93% just before i went to sleep
killed all the processes with built in battery device care and also greenify.
woke up today at 8:30am and the batter was at 90% and dropped to 89% after a min of use.
So 3-4% over eight or nine hours.... I"m pretty happy with that.
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 S20 FE'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!
Any tips to eliminate idle battery drain? I have had a oneplus phone since the OPO. first Samsung and feel more idle drain. Any tips for samsung phones to eliminate battery idle drain?

This night at 3 am It had 100%. At 7:00 am I waked and It had 92%.

I am seeing unusual battery drain with my snapdragon version. 16% in 9 hours is way too much. My S20 plus never used to do that. I also give samsung phones time to settle down with battery usage and it's been 1 week since I got it, so it should have been pretty settled by now.

Yeah, I got my FE 5G a couple of weeks ago and the IDLE battery drain is a bit much... Also, anyone else experiencing a lot of battery drain when in 120hz mode? The reviewers said that it was minimal, but I found at least a 2 hour increase in battery life when I set it back to 60hz...

Hello, I've like 3-4% max overnight in a area with 1-2 out 5 GSM signal strength
Try to put it in Airplane mode and see the consumption in the morning - you should have max 1%

So far I have: 4h40 SOT on 120 hz and 6h20 SOT on 60 Hz - down to 15%, dark mode, WIFI only, Location On, Battery in Optimized mode
As battery drain per hour GSAM Battery shows me 2-3%
I had 5-6% on S20 Plus Exynos
I have mine for several months. First time Samsung user and not a heavy user. I go by the 80% rule, charge to 80% whenever I can using GSM Battery Monitor / AccuBattery. Overnight, battery will drop from 74% to 60% or less. I thought there is something wrong with my phone. I checked battery usage from time to time, system and Android uses upwards to 25%~30% over 8 hour period. This is regardless if I have cell on or in Airplane mode or WiFi off / on.
After reading your comments, I realized it's something that Samsung has done to make it consume more battery than necessary. I am not sure what I would do next. But I am done with Samsung.
