Mine dropped a decent amount for a long period of the day, but something was off. The phone was awake when the screen was off for like 5 hours. I noticed it when I went out to the store, and was testing out google music. After like 1 song it said google music was the most draining app, and had a long keep awake time.
After I was done using google music, it slept normally, and even gained a couple % charge by itself.. so it was a misbehaving app for me.
Turn google now off if you are one of those that has no chargers around during 18 hours period.

It is doubtful that Google Now is the misbehaving app in this situation. Because 4.4 is so new, there are bound to be apps that are buggy and hurting battery life.

hi all...
soo after my comments over a week ago on the aokp website for this build, i decided afterall to take the plunge and update. i was on b26, so subsequently had to flash b27 and then this. everything has gone absolutely swimmingly with no issues at all so far....
HOWEVER>>>>>
I am faced with a very puzzling quirk. its by nooooo means a problem at all, infact it quite the opposite!!! let me explain.
i've started charging my phone in the evening these days for some stupid reason and then, when charged taking it off and going to bed. After getting this milestone on, my battery has been killed over night, draining to around 15%. Normally, it would drain to around 70% and be flat by the end of the day ready for charging again.
This continued for a few days when i decided to root out the cause of the massive overnite idle drain. I installed a fantastic free app called Badass Battery Monitor (which i highly recommend btw!), and over a period of a couple of days the offending app was weeded out. It was Nova Launcher. This had never happened to me before and couldn't understand it. So, as part of my diagnostics, I decided to confirm the findings by removing it and just using stock.
Over a couple of days monitoring, with exactly the same charging method, my battery levels returned to normal drainage with around 75% battery left by the morning. Fantastic. I had found the problem fixed it and got back to normal. Soooo where is the quirk i here you say!!!? lol Well......
On average, from everything i've read in forums, battery drain overnight while phone in standby is around 20/30%, so mine WAS right up there with the majority of you.
Last night, i decided to charge to full and then wipe battery stats. Which i did. Now, bare in mind here that I ONLY have the standard battery that is supplied with the Galaxy Nexus. I got up this morning, and to my utter amazement, my battery had only drained 2%
Now been incredibly realisting here based on average overnight drains, i was 100% sure that this was deffo an error. I have done everything from restarting the phone, taking the battery out, but still the level in my battery was saying the same.
As I sit here writing this, I have been streaming a radio station via wifi on the phone for the last 2 hrs, and atm my battery is telling me that it is STILL 85% full.
I am DEFFO not complaining, but i'm sure now, you can see why the hell i am so puzzled! HOW THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING, because i can genuinely find no explanation at all for it
as a follow up, it is now more or less 5 hrs since my orginal post, and my battery is reporting that it is 75% full
Jeesh, 20 to 30 idle drain overnight? My phone drains about 3 to 5 overnight which is typically 8 hours of sleep.

Interesting quirk. Are you a heavy or a light user? It'd be nice to see how it drains after a full drain and recharge.

well, to see if what was been reported was correct, i've been an absolute heavy user today. i have wifi on, ive streamed radio via internet for around 3 hrs, ive been playing all sorts of games and watched a few youtube vids. and my battery is atm reporting 74% life left
so here i am, STILL very very puzzled..
my battery life is just going and going with no signs of running flat... have a look at these screenshots and give me an explanation as to why i suddenly have a super battery!
MAYBE you really have a super battery or your mobile is glitched and shows the battery like that due to laG?
I'm on miui and I lose 0% overnight. It just depends on the ROM, but 20-30% is ridiculous!

Your states do not seem super impressive. On most phones the screen is the biggest drain. You show 49% battery with a screen on of only 1 hour. After 33 hours you've only used your phone for 1 hour screen on. Thats VERY little.
I usually get 2.5-3 hours of screen on time for my galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the app recommendation! Been looking for something like it all day.
This will depend on ROM/Radio/Kernel user installed programs/sync etc but 2-6% is normal drain over night anyone with 20% needs to seriously look @ battery stats and work out what's causing wake locks.
Also not forgetting most phones need to bed in after a flash which can take 2-3 days before we see real battery info.
Hi,
I received my gear S2 classic yesterday but I don't seem to be getting the battery life of 2 days. I took it off charge this morning at 11:30 am and it's now 12 noon and it's down to 89%. Is this normal? I've turned off the auto heart rate monitor and NFC and Wifi. It's constantly connected to my note 4 and the brightness is set to 5.
I've had a fair few notifications and haven't really used apps on it today so far but seems to be draining quicker than what I was expecting, just wondering if this is normal or not? I understand it's a small battery but when it's supposed to get 2 days and it doesn't seem like I'd get one day out of it if I was to take it off charge early in the morning like at 8 AM for example.
In 30 min it drained 11%? Seems like a lot. Restart it perhaps? I have wifi off, s voie off, and screen brightness set to 5 as well and it lasts 2+ days. I'd give a couple more days, if it doesn't improve then I would exchange it.

Think it's okay (ish) been off charge now for about 11 and a half hours and it's at 46% though this still is only barely a day of battery life not 2. Should be able to live with it though I normally put my phone on charge at night when I go bed anyway regardless of the charge I have left and I do the same with the S2. Speaking of phone is there anything I can do with it's battery life? Having bluetooth on 24/7 really takes a hit on my battery life on my note 4. Is there anyway I could put it into some kinda low powered bluetooth mode so maybe it's not quite as fast but still some kind of connection?

I had pretty bad battery life with watch connected too. It turned out it was a misbehaving app with bluetooth, GasBuddy in mycase. Uninstalled it and battery life went back to normal. I suspect something similar may be happening in your case.

+1 for the misbehaving app as the likely cause. For comparison: My Classic goes on at 9am and off around 9pm with about 60% left, consistently. Connected with bt...Wifi off and max brightness all day.

How did you determine the app causing issues? Do you have the clock always on or gestures on? it seems i am draining awfull fast too. Took off charger at 7am and now at 10 i am at 85% is this normal?

That drain seems a little fast to me but not too bad compared to the experience of others posted here.
Usually you'll notice the drain soon after installing troublesome apps, so the offender is likely one of the last few you installed. To fix this I just uninstall the last few apps I downloaded and test from there. If the battery issue is still not resolved after a while of usage, then I uninstall the ones before it. I don't know of any other way to test on the Gear S2 like we do on android phones (e.g. with bbs, wakelock detector, etc.).
The battery life I mentioned for my Classic is with gesture mide turned on, and always-on mode turned off.
Hello, guys!
I have a problem with my phone for the past few months and after clean flashing 7.0 Nougat it's still present.
My problem is that when I'm home, my phone drains not even few percent of battery. Specially when I'm sleeping, I can go to bed with 100% battery and wake up with 98-99%. BUT when I'm out, specially when I'm working since my work involves a lot of walking the battery just drains like hell and I mean like 7-10% per hour considering I don't even use the phone. Sometimes I will have 30min to an hour of screen-on time and after 10 hours of work I will be home with 15% of battery left.
Now I know that this is mostly to some rouge app that keeps my phone awake and drains my battery but I'm not really sure how to pinpoint it.
I will provide my stats from Bettertbatteystats and WakelockDetector if you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I just want to explain that the straight line on the first picture with the batter drain graph is when I went home and left my phone on the table for about 3 hours. You can clearly see that the difference in battery consumption during my phone being in my pocket and on the table.

Maybe you are in a poor service area when you're at work, poor signal drains battery pretty quick because the device is constantly scanning and searching for better signal.
Or
You're using one or more social media apps such as Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.. These apps are constantly running/scanning for notifications and are well known for eating battery, especially on mid-low end and older devices because they don't have enough CPU and/or RAM to keep up efficiently. Judging from your screenshots, I would say that this is your issue.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PERSONAL MESSAGE, I DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS IN PERSONAL MESSAGE, YOU WILL BE IGNORED. KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
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 OnePlus 5'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 am not too pleased about idle battery drain.
Overnight, about 8h it consumes about 3%-5%. Sometimes more than 10%, if the device doesn't go in deep sleep for whatever reason..
If commute, it takes more battery (maybe sensors, switch to mobile data, etc).
About 20% in 9hours. wifi most of the time with about 1h hour on mobile data. And movement in pocket about 20-30mins.
My experience with idle drain has been good overall. Getting around 0.5% per hr
My idle drain is horrendous. I'm getting around 20% drain over night (7h sleep) with nothing enabled but WiFi. And that's with Greenify. I'm thinking of rooting and flashing the EX Kernel, but wanted to wait for an obviously outstanding major update before doing so.

Maybe check whats draining the battery :cyclops:
I don't use greenify or anythinf and use only 4g. Im getting perfect battery life.

Android System, Phone Services + Google Services, but only if WiFi/data is on. If they are off the battery life is perfect.

Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

For me Chrome was a big culprit for battery drain. Try to delete the cache and the storage of the app. You can as well disable and it and re enable it. That should be enough. Anyway, Chrome is a battery hog. I am thinking about switching to Opera or Firefox. Any recommendation for browsers?
I use Firefox with the add-on 'Dark Background and Light Text'. I have it set to turn the background of all pages to true black.
2% over night (7 hours) pretty pleased. But it was even better on OP3 when the drain over night was 0-1%
I'm on RR with no GAPPS and lost about 1.5% in about 8.5hrs of not being used (sleep + getting ready in the AM)
I have TASKER, and have set airplane mode to come on 8pm - 3am.
Currently getting roughly 2-3% drain in that "airplane mode" time

What the? Do you have gestures enabled (eg: double tap to wake)?
In my opinion it consumes too much.. one time i got about 3% drain in about 8-9h idle with wifi on and no commute.
That's why i hate android idle drain. A never-ending issue.
SOT only 34 mins, 1h mobile data, the rest on wifi.
I've disabled gestures, location history, no google fit, etc etc
Not bad here. About .3% per hour overnight. So about 2% overnight. That's on 4G as I rarely ever have my phone on WiFi. I also have email at to push (2 accounts) and I usually turn off the sync stuff in my Google account. Things like app data, calendar, contacts and the rest. I just sync when I make changes like adding a contract I then toggle the contacts on then off kind of thing. No need to let it sync all day and night for nothing imo.
I just have that drain when location is set to "high accuracy". When its set to "battery saving" everthing seems fine.
I don't know what's wrong with my device/apps. Several times now i had a standby drain in around 7 hours of 30%+. I didn't plug my phone in overnight because of Dash charging, when I went to bed, the battery was at 37%. The next morning I overslept massively and completely missed my shift because my battery died over night. This is with airplane mode on during 75% of the night. The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

Yeah man you need to download accubattery or something to monitor the drain. That's ridiculous. And yeah I've been kinda confused about the stock battery stats as well. It seems to tell you nothing.
I have noticed a lot more battery drain since the 911 update a few days ago. I was getting 7ish sot now I'm under 5hrs. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed it though. It'll be fixed don't worry.

I had AccuBattery installed at first but it didn't give me any meaningful insights so I uninstalled it a few weeks later.
I normally only get around 3 hours of SOT, but I'm not into mobile gaming or YouTube so that is normal...
I notice significant drain in idle after the 4.5.6 update last week. Android system seems to be the culprit, but not sure what's process under this is actually causing the problem.
All radios on, and 2 mail accounts syncing.
Who else just straight up turned on power saver when they got the phone? I tend to use my phone for streaming anime from VRV and Netflix and watching YouTube videos...so I instinctively turned on the feature....and wow does the phones battery last with it turned on lol
What percentage drain per hour idle are you getting? I'm at around 1-3%, but I could have sworn I was getting way better when I first got it.

Well last night I forgot to put my phone to charge and it was at 85% and I woke up to 53% I fell asleep at 12 AM and Woke up at 7AM
If you get EX Kernel Manager you can enable a notification that will show percentage drain per hour when both active and idle! Sounds like 4-5% drain an hour though, not especially good. I'm sure you could get it down even farther! Check out ForceDoze.
The battery in the u11 is very good and a good addition to it is the htc app "boost+" from the playstore as it controls apps in both foreground and background, also it can change resolution of apps and games to save more power.
