This is my first tablet and not sure about battery life and everything. So I left my tablet on through the night and lost roughly 10% through the night. Not sure if thats normal or not. But if so, I will definitely be turning it off throughout the night or when I won't be using for awhile. But is there a standby mode or something we can put the tablet into?

I don't turn it off, no. One thing that will save you battery is to turn the airplane mode on when you're not using it.
I just turn off wireless and pwer off screen.
never been off
I never turn my tab off. At night.it will loose. 6 to 8 percent. At night maybe a bit more or less depending on how long its off.
And I use it often thru out the day
Awesome battery life
Haven't turned it off yet. I use it all day and plug it in at night around 20-30%, wake up charged and do it again.
I just turn the screen off overnight while charging; I leave wifi on to synch work emails & calendars. Nearly a decade of smartphone use has gotten me in the dedicated habit of charging everything every night.
Thing to keep in mind, tablets arent Kindles with week+ battery life; keep in the habit of charging it whenever convenient & you won't run out of juice unexpectedly.
I'm in the minority here.
I turn my Tab and Evo off every night, the phone just before bed. It save a bit of batt life and unwanted calls in the middle of the night or any alert tones as I'm a pretty light sleeper. I've also been doing this for probably 7-8 yrs with all my smart phones (Symbian, Win-Mo, Palm, BB and now Android).
Sometimes I turn it off at night, sometimes I just leave it on. It's definitely on ALL day. I haven't really seen it losing much battery if I leave it on overnight, but I don't have it configured to sync frequently. Whenever I notice the battery is getting a little low, I charge it up again -- don't really have a set pattern or routine that I charge it.
Anytime I know I won't be using it for twenty minutes or more, I just shut it down.
Not sure there is a right/wrong, good/bad way to do this, as it's pretty much a personal preference thang!
If I'm not gonna use it for more than a day, sure.
I also turn on airplane mode when I'm reading via Kindle or anything else that doesn't require wifi.
On a semi related note, does anyone else find the screen is too bright if you're in a dark room reading, even if you have brightness on the lowest setting?
So far I never see any difference to turn AIRPLANE MODE on... but anyway some people believe so... let say that work... hu hu hu
well
to answer I never turn off my tablet, neither turn off the wifi
I try to not use AUTO brightness, set brightness to medium.
I will turn it off... well... actually I do not.
to muqali. on lowest setting? on dark room lowest setting I think it's fine (but I have an antiglare screen... that dim the light)

That is crazy talk! I'd suffer some serrrrrious withdrawal
On to the question, no, my tablet stays on 24/7. The closest it gets to off is booting into recovery, but then it's right back on.
All my backups, security scans and cloud syncs are scheduled for the wee hours of the morning so wifi stays on at night too. Also, my iconia is my alarm clock, which is very useful for a shift worker who needs different alarms on different days.
only if the battery is low and Im to lazy to go charge it
I only turn my tablet off in order to reboot when it freezes up or gets laggy (maybe once a week). The rest of the time, it's on standby or being used.
I leave it on sometimes, other times I will randomly turn it off. I mean, its not a phone.. no reason it should be on 24/7. I don't even leave my PC on 24/7 - as it saves a lot of electricity to turn it off.
My phone (Droid X) however, stays on 24/7 =P
Yeah, I've been leaving mine on and its been just fine. I notice it turns off wifi or I guess at least disconnects when the screen is off so I'm sure that helps. At nights I guess I can turn airplane mode on and that should help. I'm impressed though with the battery so far.
I always turn it off when done, unless I know I will be using again in a short.

I use the Nook app as my eBook reader instead of the Kindle app. The Nook app has a separate brightness control within the app, and it allows me to turn even the white page brightness down to where it's very comfortable to read even in a pitch dark room. The nice thing about this is when I'm done reading and exit the Nook app, the global brightness settings for the tablet are restored so my dark wood wallpaper isn't too dark.
I'm not sure if the Kindle app has its own brightness control or not, but it might be with looking into.

yes, I noticed too, it's too damn bright, but not as bright as my phone, on the good side screen comparison between iconia, transformer, zoom and ipad2 the iconia gets praise cuz it's super dark black... you can notice easily (like me) if you're in the dark and look the status bar
I do not. I don't really ever turn mine off actually, except if the battery is at low and I'm out and not able to charge it, but that rarely happens.
I don't turn my PC off either. Turns out it doesn't save as much energy for me vs. time. I'd save roughly $90 a year if I diligently turned my PC and HTPC off...my PC however serves as the file server for everything in my home and I'm also very random in terms of bed times so it would cost me so much time (and maybe some parts issues as well) turning it on and off every time I needed to use it.
I am using power save, disabled lots of things, have auto brightness on and still having bad battery. I am stock unrooted. At 50% I have had 90 minutes SoT. Any advice guys.

- Take auto brightness off (Manual setup is better unless you're outside a lot).
- Use Greenify app to hibernate the apps you don't want running in the background.
- Use LeanDroid app to manage your wifi. When screen turns off, LeanDroid app will turn off the wifi by itself and turn it back on as soon as you turn on the screen. Also, works for Bluetooth as well.
- Go into recovery mode and perform a wipe cache partition. (Works for many people.)
- Take out the battery and put it back on again. (Worked for me, but idk why and how is it even related.)
- Make sure to update all your apps.
[Q] What features do you use or are turned on your phone? For example: Sync, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Air wake up, etc..
I'm not sure if my problem is with OxygenOS or Nougat, but I've scoured the internet for months and haven't found an answer
I have two problems that I think are linked to doze mode on my device, and they both occur under the same conditions. First is my alarm clock (Alarm Clock Xtreme) doesn't work in the morning, and second is my Samsung Gear Fit 2 needs manually reconnected each morning. And through troubleshooting I've determined the problem occurs under rather unique conditions. The problem ONLY occurs when my phone is plugged in and sits overnight (so fully charged sometime during the night). Which is most nights, because I want a full battery in the morning.
But if I happen to go to bed and leave the phone unplugged, the alarm clock WORKS in the morning and the smart watch stays connected all night. So unplugged overnight, no problems. Plugged in, alarm clock won't work and Bluetooth connection to smart watch is dropped.
I haven't been able to find an answer in the 3 months I've had my OnePlus 5. Any thoughts?
Specs: OnePlus 5, Oxygen OS 4.5.10, Nougat 7.1.1.
I can also move this post elsewhere if there is a more appropriate area of the forum for this question. But I don't have this problem with my old device.
You can try disabling battery optimization for selected apps.

Thanks, but I already tried that. It doesn't work.
It's probably the apps man if you think about it. Try using a different application and report back.

I actually had another alarm clock app before, that was doing the same thing. And I don't really have an alternate application for the watch.
I've researched this fairly extensively and have only been able to grasp small nuggets of insight. I did find one source on xda (but I can't remember where I saw it) that talked about doze mode acting funny when the phone is plugged in to charge. Basically an inability to wake from doze under certain circumstances.

You can always enable Developer Options and choose the option for the screen to stay awake while charging which should also keep your phone awake. You can also disable Doze completely in Developer Options.

Thanks! I don't want to disable doze, but I might try that other one. My other quick fix I juts thought of is to use a timer switch or smart switch to have the charger shut off after an hour. That's enough to give me a boost, but not fully charge. I tried it last night and everything worked this morning. Though my battery was only at 60%, it was better than nothing.

It's recommended these days to keep your battery charged between 40%—80% to prolong its life and not keep the phone plugged in overnight like in the old days. I charge mine to 80% before going to bed.
If it's actually a Doze issue I don't understand why it wouldn't happen when the phone isn't plugged in. Do you have a screen saver enabled?
Fellow OP5 user here, I have the EXACT same problem.
If I leave the phone charging for long time and doze kicks in, the phone basically shuts down for all purposes until I unlock it with my pattern. Meaning, only the built in alarm (that works even with the phone turned off) will work. Any other (Timely, radio...) won't.
Now here's the kicker: sometimes the deep sleep will cause a weird bootloop, upon which the screen will indefinitely hang on the spinning logo, with the screen turned on, requiring a reboot. And of course this makes the alarm not sound.
This last bit happens at random. If I disable the screen sleeping in Dev options, the alarm will work but when I wake up the pattern input screen would be there, after all night on, which isn't really healthy for the screen.
Turning doze off makes this problem apparently disappear, but I need to investigate some more to draw conclusions. For the time being I sleep without charging, quick charge and the phone's great battery makes it unnecessary to keep it connected all night.
Another fun tidbit of this deep sleep mode: it stops USB tethering. I would have imagined a wakelock in there, but apparently there isn't.
For information : I use vanilla kernel and OOS. I have Magisk on and Gravitybox via Xposed Magisk, but other than that I have nothing particular going on.
I've been hearing that from other sources as well, about not letting it sit overnight on the charger at 100%. Which is why I think I'm gonna keep using the smart switch of my nightstand charger. The OnePlus Dash charging system works great for a quick charge anyways, so having 100% fully charged to last all day long is no longer necessary. I have a normal USB cable at my night stand, so it's a slow charge. If I set the timer to stop after an hour it at least gives me a small charge overnight, without overdoing it. And I have dash charger at work to give me the full quick 20 minute charge that puts me at 60-70%.
No I don't have a screensaver running. It is weird that the phone locks in the doze mode for the alarm and boots me off my watch's BT connection, but only when plugged in and sitting at a full charge for an extended time (haven't stayed awake all night to test just how long it has to sit). But that IS what it IS. Those have been confirmed as the only conditions in which this problem arises. I've been using the smart switch for 3 days now to keep my phone from going to and staying at 100%, and the alarm clock is working again and the watch is staying connected.
It's not that it's a big of a deal for me to have to use a work around like this. I don't mind. But I hate finding a glitch in something and not being able to truly "fix" it. Work-arounds work. But they don't actually solve the problem. This is just a gripe I have in general whenever something like this happens. It's in my nature to want things to work properly. Which is why I haven't had a non-rooted device in at least 5 years. I NEED to have the ability to fix the [email protected]$$ sh1t the software developers and phone manufacturers screw up. Of course, that's probably the number one reason xda exist. This open up the full potential of these devices, because the manufacturers are either too dumb or are financially motivated to not fix things (ahem...Samsung). Thank you everyone who chimed in with advice. I appreciate it.
It has been my experience with this phone so far that doze mode doesn't work. At all. I regularly have widgets that won't update even though I have doze turned off...
Just one of the many annoyances that has me thinking about finally rooting and getting rid of this garbage os...
So I've been having this problem since a few days. It happened a few times in MIUI 10.3.5 global version then after updating to 10.3.6 I had it ALL the time.
Checking battery stats gives no info on this. Apps shown to consume battery are the ones I use and they only have 1 minute of keeping screen awake timer.
I've no idea what's causing this and I don't want to root my device as some of my applications have aggressive root detection and won't work.
CPU spy shows 0 deep sleep and 660 mhz is used instead of sleeping.
Steps I've taken so far:
The only temporary fix I found was to disable MIUI optimizations in developers options but that isn't of any help anymore.
Factory reset, playing around with different settings including turning off sync, wifi, mobile data and airplane mode on phone still didn't sleep.
Logged out of MIUI account and haven't logged back in after factory reset.
Turned location off/tried GPS only.
I'm going to reflash my firmware today and post the results, need any advice on this as I've scoured the internet but found no solution.
Probably fix(?) Not turning to sleep mode xiaomi
Hi, I actually faced the same problem before and like yourself, I turned off my mi optimization and I use Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. This is how it works for me, so it might help you? So I turned the mi optimization off, and later turn it on back but my phone has yet to enter the sleep mode even though it should be even after the set time. I restarted my phone and it didn't work either. So what I did, is basically turn mi optimization off, reboot and turn it on, to reboot again. I know it might sound strange but I have a theory, if we reboot the device after turning it off and on, it might as well go back to normal as we, according to the warning, need to reboot our device after turning mi optimization off.
Just found out that Motion Sense is switched off if you enable Battery Saver. This is something you probably knew but I didn't so thought I'd share.
What changes when battery saver is on
If you have a Pixel 4, your phone:
Turns off Motion Sense. Learn how to control your Pixel without touching it.
Turns off car crash detection. Learn how to get help in an emergency using your Pixel phone.
Turns off smooth display. Learn how to manage screen and display settings.
Your phone and notifications may be delayed. They'll return to their original speed once battery saver is turned off.
More info on their support page
Yep, just something I hadn't realised. I think it should really be made more explicit what happens without having to go to a support page. The average user (me?) won't go there.
