Confused as to why my phone is having battery drain - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

First wierd battery issue is when I pull the phone out of the charger for some reason it goes from 100% to 99% in 10 min of standby. Maybe the battery is calibrated wrong, Idk.
Second. When I watch youtube on the lowest brightness, and not cropped it uses 1% every 7 min, Where as with my Samsung J5 2017 which has a 3000 mah battery it uses 1% every 12 min.
This really confuses me as that the s10+ has not only a bigger battery, but a more power efficient 8 nm cpu.
Are there any known apps that suck battery on the s10+, since I can't get Gsam battery manager to work.

Facebook, facebook messenger and snapchat is the wors apps from my experience.
But download Cpu Spy and see if u get deep sleep in idle as you should, and if your cpu behaves as it should while watching youtube.
-the cpu frequency while watching youtube should not be high at all.

on my Snapdragon version of the s10 plus, my battery lasts between 8-10 hours however for some reason I too seem to get significant drainage from 100% to 90. The first 10 percent drain significantly. I lost 10 percent within 30 minutes and the first 5% within like 10 so aside from that the rest of the battery life 8 to 10 hours that window isn't bad but if there's anything I can do to reduce the first 10 from draining as fast it would be nice if anyone had any advice.
I don't have Instagram or Facebook installed or SnapChat I have Frost and an alternate version of Instagram that's all AMOLED. I hope that helps

Wifi or mobile data?
What's the issue with gsam? I'm using it fine on snapdragon after granting permission via one adb command line.
Drop from 100 to 90 is relatively normally. Been like that on all my recent Samsung devices note 8, note 9 and this s10+.

Damn. I messaged that developer he never gets back to me. It was in relation to other things.
I wonder if there a clone of gsam app anywhere?

10j Batter Drain on T Mobile variant

Every since the update my battery seems to lose a percent every 5-10 minutes the screen is on.
What gives?? Tried a fresh install and everything.

54% in the last 3 hours. This is noticeably different.
Have you looked into whats draining it? i.e. under battery settings or using better battery stats?

Nothing specific. Just screen for the most part and a little bit of chrome. I deleted messenger, and Facebook. Everytime I turn my screen on...By the time I go to turn it off after whatever activity I notice a percent loss.
My battery life has never been what I would call "good", but after the update it has been even worse. Wifi and location off, no facebook at all and screen at auto brightness. The battery seems to lose about 10% an hour and I'm lucky if I get to see 3 hours of screen on time.
I'm getting roughly 0.6% an hour when idle with 10j
T-Mobile. Best ever was 8h SOT with a few percent left in 10d. I am on 10j now rooted. Battery life seems worse but really it's not. Used to get about an hour screen before drops to 99% but now about 20mins. Just seems to measure battery better. This rundown so far was at work in downtown and I was on 41st floor most of the day. I am home now where my LTE is pegged full blast and I could probably pull down at least 5 more hours of this charge depending what I do.
I know it's not a solution in the sense its not solving whatever software is draining the battery but there are aftermarket battery packs for the v20 already that will make the phone last longer.
Zero Lemon specifically makes an excellent aftermarket battery pack if you don't mind the bulk.
I am waiting for a middle man battery pack that's larger than the factory battery but not as massive as the zerolemon.

Newly bought S8 and a 4.5h battery life. Is is normal?

So I got my GS8 yesterday and this is the battery life I get with:
AOD off
No battery saving profile
Wifi on all the time
4G network but no data
Automatic brightness
No gaming, about an hour of video playback
Since I can't share outside links I'll just write the info here: (From 100% to 3%)
Last charged: 10h ago
Screen on time: 4 hours and 30 minutes (812mAh)
Android System: CPU total: 3 hours and 11 minutes (312mAh)
This is not even close to what I expected, do you think this is normal?
Normal. It's happened with both my S8 and my G6. Your battery life will get better in 3-5 days. Android is setting stuff up and optimizing battery life behind the scenes.
You bought it yesterday. Give it time to settle.
Also, turn off automatic Samsung cloud backup, it's on by default.

What did you expect from a 3000mah battery? It all depends how you use the phone, i can empty the battery in an hour if I want.
4.5h is more than respectable, if you want more lower the brightness and use a black theme.

I expected the sot other users (like people from this forum) get. This battery life I got is bkarely better than that of my 3-year-old Xperia Z1!
-----------------------------------
Another question guys. Is a 6% drain over 7 hours of being idle normal? Wifi on and AOD off.

It pretty much. Also depend on how many apps you installed. If you dont want it run much, add it to smart manager sleep list. My idle about 3hrs/1% man. This is my battery current round and apps list. About 10% wasted battery because I did clear davikcache a few times
This should be normal. with AOD on, my phone takes about 2% per hour, but when browsing webpages, every 1.5 hours costs about 10% of power, watching videos should take more. also, the 1080p and 2k resolution have notable differences. so it seems that the white-background screen cuts down most of battery life, i think.

hmm, i turned my phone as power-saving as possible - brightness is less than half of the bar, suspended all background apps, and FHD resolution. also, after some days of usage, the system should be able to auto balance the power consumption by sleeping some unused apps and some Samsung's system services maybe. so i don't think this is an issue.

Dont believe every sot someone posts here, i've seen a few 8 or 9 hour sot's but i'll bet the brightness was as dim as can be and they used a black theme. Or they were probably reading a book on the phone which uses no cpu at all or using the battery saving feature.
Your z1 also had a 3000mah battery, yet it had a smaller/dimmer screen, lower resolution, less ram, much slower cpu/gpu. How can you be complaining?

yeah, you're right, the AMOLED screen with high brightness and white color is the real battery killer. also BTW, does the 'sot' mean 'screen-on time'? sorry for my bad English...
Yup screen on time
4.5h is more than enough ! I am coming from a S6E+ it used to give me 2h SOT MAX ! Hated my life with it.
Do you plat Pokemon Go? I find a lot of people I see complaining about battery do, that game is very poorly optimized for battery consumption.

Anyone noticed battery drains bad after the FPS update.

Wondering if anyone facing this issue because when I first got the phone the stand by drain was really bad but with the March 1st security update the battery was really good. Since the FPS update the battery seem to be back to before let alone the FPS really bad too, at least in my case it worse than before the update. I tried to reregister the FPS but I have to presses really hard for it to accept the scan or else it just keep telling me to press harder. Snapdragon version by the way.
For Exynos version after FPS update battery drain is also worse then previously. I contacted Samsung for this issue but no response until now

No phone comes close to my XS Max 12.3 DB in standby. Bluetooth connected to my watch, WiFI, et al. Never tried airplane mode. Its battery life when being used is not as good as the S10+ but standby certainly is better so there's that.
TBH I stopped worrying about standby drain when wireless charging came about. Now if it's draining more than a few % per hour then something is clearly wrong.

My battery life was cut in half from this update. I am losing 5-8% PER HOUR, with the screen off. By this time of day I would normally be around 75%, instead it’s around 45%...

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 A71'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!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

S20+ problems

Hi, I just got my S20+ 5G (exynos processor) 3 days ago, and I'm very disappointed. The phone get warm and drops frames during normal scrolling through the UI so easily and the battery drop percentage is huge (I installed Accubattery to get exact status) and as you can see 21% of battery is gone while the screen is off?!!
The phone settings as below :
WIFI + NFC + GPS : Off
Screen : 120 Hz and brightness is Auto
SIM: 2 first locked on LTE and the second on 3G and the coverage at my place is excellent
What do you think? Am I an isolated case or do you have a similar issues, especially the power consumption during screen of time.
I feel its very new. Give sammy sometime to mature the software for 120 hz. I feel 120 hz is the cause for the drain i think.

My main concern is the consumption when screen is off which is not related to 120 Hz
Have you restored a backup from an older phone?
Isn't wifi more efficient than LTE and 5G? Maybe keep that on and see if you notice a difference. Switch to 60 hz as well.

I don't have WiFi, I have unlimited data sim which i been using it for the last year, haven't faced any issues with power consumption in my older phones
This seems like the normal exynos problems. In some cases (back on my s9/s10/n10+) experiences, these phones have had catastrophic battery lifetimes. Maybe it'll settle after 2-3 days, but I think it'll stay that way.
With adaptive battery, the phone must first learn your usage etc...I saw some videos where the people complain regarding the 120hz using a lot of power...25% more then with 60hz
I just received an update today, I'll see if it improves the heat/battery issues I have
Update
i have s20+ as well and i do agree during heavy usage ''exynos'' the phone gets very warm too warm one time i cant even use it to my face to talk to the person im on a call.
for battery life, give it a few days to gain the full potential of the battery. then try again.
Hey s20 plus users, anyone of you have issues with the auto focussing with the 64mp camera? Cuz I do, my plus just wont focus on the subject automatically, I have to click on the subject for it to focus. Is that normal? or is it supposed to focus automatically??
Oh and I once had a 30%-35% battery drain over night, insane!
Exynos variant that is. lol

I have an S20+. And the firmware reports 4,370 capacity which is the guaranteed minimum capacity. Not the reported capacity comes from the phone firmware NOT the app. The estimated actual capacity comes from the app. The capacity the manufacturers advertise is the "average" capacity. Also I've used Accubattery for a couple months now and it reports 94% health, this doesn't mean my battery actually has the advertised 4,500 mah capacity. The health is based on the phone accurately measuring the exact charging current of the charger which isn't a perfect measurement.
Generally these battery apps are good for measuring the RELATIVE change in the health of your battery over a long period of time, or, checking the battery health when you purchase a refurb/used phone. For new phones, anything 92% on up in my opinion is an indication the battery is good and essentially in like-new condition. On renewed/used phones, that are 1-3 years old, I think anything at about 85% up shows the battery is still pretty good. It's when you start to dip below 75% is it probably a reliable sign you probably could benefit from switching to a newer phone/battery.
Also, it is not uncommon when a phone is brand new or after installing some new apps, your battery usage can temporarily jump for a day or two. The most important stat to look at in Accubattery is the current (not average) Screen Off Dishcharge rate in % per hour. If it's around 1% or lower, then you don't have a lot of apps doing stuff in the background to eat battery. If it's like 2% or more, then go into Settings > Device care > Battery > Battery Usage and look at what apps are using a lot of battery that have more background time than foreground. Those are what's eating your battery and you need to see if there are settings in the app to minimize background usage, or make sure they are not excluded from the Optimize Battery Apps list (some apps have to operate all the time in the background though.)
I received the stable 11 update and my battery wasn't great, after a few days it's actually been pretty good, had 100 charge at 9 in the morning and have been using phone throughout the day in work and its now 5:19 with 72 %, exynos
