Yesterday a post was made to /r/nexus5 on reddit about how battery life was getting worse as time went on. Over 100 people replied saying that their phone was getting worse battery life as well. Here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1yxj2g/battery_life_went_from_insane_to_terrible/ The most people were able to find out was that there was a problem with the Android OS process. Are you guys having similar issues? And do you have any fixes?
Batteries do lose their max charge over time. We're now 6 months aged for the first purchased devices, so it could simply be those batteries are starting to age. They still have years to go, but a brand new battery will always be impressive.
It's one reason why I silently laugh at people bragging about great battery life for a brand new device. of course it will get good life, it's a new battery running optimized software that isn't pushing the hardware as hard as the software 2 years into a device life cycle.
posted by people that know nothing..
as time goes on, you install more and more apps. many apps arent coded very well, and have other issues. anyways, people get more and more of these crappy apps that will drain more and more battery without you even using them. anywho, not a problem here. i get pretty much the exact same battery life now as i did months ago.

great battery life for an "old" device, 5-6 hours screen on time every single day. the batteries life doesnt reduce that quick, and generally youll change phones(within 2 years) before you see the life of your battery shorten.

6 months isn't going to be noticeably less max charge unless the battery was severely abused. Also the phone has been out for 4 months and most are younger.
Here's something to think about: Usage patterns change. People install new apps.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Indeed usage patterns play a massive part. And some of which can be completely out of your control.
At home on WiFi I'll get 6-7 hours of screen time.
At home on hspa I'll get 5-6
At work on hspa I'll get 3-4
So at worst case scenario I can lose half of my normal battery usage just based on the carrier performance.

I get about 3-4 hours SoT daily... If anything, that has gone up since I got my device (one of the first batches shipped in US).
I wish I could get 5-7 SoT, with numbers like that, I'm beginning to think I'm doing something very very wrong
Point is... I have one of the first phones shipped out, and my battery life has stayed exactly the same.
High battery usage by Android OS is probably good indication that there are some wakelocks. It has nothing to do with battery being "older".
My battery is great from day one.
Captain obvious mode now:
Posting SoT is pointless and proves nothing. It really depends on what you are doing when screen is on. It is really obvious that it is not the same if you read some book with 5% brightness or play a game.
My SoTs go from 2h up to 7h, depending on usage...

wake lock is main reason makes battery drains so much. try to use greenify to hibernate apps.

LOL. Yep. Give me a day and I'll show you screenies of ten hours of SOT. It'll be BS because to get those results I have to set my phones brightness to less than stock. I also have to set screen timeout to 30 minutes. As well I need to remember to turn the damn screen back on after 30 minutes. I also have to make sure my phone is in my sock drawer doing nothing when the screen is on. It'll still show 10 hours SOT though.

Yeah, the common problem.... My battery just is used for 5 hours.
But there are some fixs to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168036
I posted my usual screen times on a typical day for me.
Typically I do the same things which are a lot of xda and viewing the verge and YouTube. A few calls and texts.
And from my experience the difference between being at home with WiFi off and being at work with WiFi off is that my battery usually lasts nearly twice as long at home.
I was trying to get across the message that your carriers signal strength plays a massive role on how long your battery lasts.
So say if a mast went down and you get bumped onto one a bit further away (they don't rush when fixing these things unless it's a critical one). You would have done nothing and all of a sudden your battery life has started taking a massive hit.

I'm also having this problem with the android os draining my batter And this started happening within the last week or so.I used to be able to easily get about 30 hours out of my phone, now I'm only able to get about half that. As you can see in the 4th pic, android os has been the cause of a 3h45m partial wakelock, which doesnt seem right to me and is probably the cause of most of the battery drain. the last 2 pics are something that also seems weird to me, as google accounts manager shouldnt take 4% in about an hour. I dont even know why its running that long. Though i know how to quick fix the account manager drain (simply disable it) the android os isnt that simple as i dont know how to see exactly what apps or processes are making it cause a partial wakelock.
Im on omnirom using chaos kernel 9.2

I had a similar issue a while back, and in the end it was Google location reporting within Google now service. Try to switch location reporting off but leave location history on and see if it helps. Also choose Location mode to battery saving.
Turning off location reporting does not affect Google Now functionality...
It can be something else in your case, but this problem was common...

One thing I've noticed as a weirdness is the cache of a phone can get stale and so it gets into some weird loop that drains battery or something and clearing the cache improves battery life. Also sometimes apps can develop bugs or new wakelocks when you do an update so sometimes you have to stay on top of it to track it.

If I did not use some preventative measures to prolong battery life I would maybe get 14-16 hours in a day of usage, I always left wifi on, bluetooth even when not connected, data, force LTE, etc. I did not care because I charge my phone every night. I just find it silly if I get a day usage out of my phone and it is at 50% well assuming you use the phone the exact same as the last day you will use another 50% and it will be dead by the time you get to your charger.

First off, I am loving the phone. It is such a massive leap from the N1 I had been using. While I expected lower battery life, I did not expect to run through 70% of the battery in 4 hours with moderate usage.

I have heard of people getting far better battery life, and have tried the various methods, from charging to 100% then turning the phone off and charging again to 100%, using juice defender ultimate, and even resorting to factory resetting the phone. Still I can't get any kind of good life out of the battery. My question is should I try and get a full replacement for the phone or just the battery? I've only had it sinceblast Thursday, so I know AT&T will happily exchange it, but if yall think it's just the battery, I'd rather just replace that then the whole phone.

Have you found out what is using your battery?.. Even before I rooted and all the other stuff was getting at least 10hr.. now Im getting 24-28hours...
Are you running another ROM other than stock?
Didn't want to root if I needed to return anything, so I am running stock currently. Looking no app seems to be running away and draining all the battery. Everything looks the same as it did on my N1 in terms of what's draining the battery, which is what lead me to believe it's a bad battery possibly.

Well if you do root than TPC's Rom is the best. It comes with kernel and the battery life is outstanding.

I was concerned with battery life at first as well. When I first got this thing I had to plug up 9 hours after I unplugged. So now I am near 30 days with it and the battery seems to have leveled out enough for me to be happy. I got 16 hours on it STOCK no ROOT the other day without plugging in, was at 10% when I finally plugged in. Yesterday I activated Juice Defender again after getting some questions answered. I got 17 hours without a plug in and was still at 25%, so i probably could have gotten 20+ hours if I needed it.
So I am happy now 17+ hours is plenty long enough for me, I always plug in at bedtime anyway.
I'm wondering how many people who are reporting battery issues, if they have calibrated them. Charge your battery all the way, use the phone until the battery dies, then fully charge. This will give a more accurate reading as far percentage used.

There is a new ROM Piret RC1, the battery life is amazing, it has a different Kernel as the one with TPC has it';s problems.
RC1 is clean fast and in 2 hours I used up 4%. Then turned every possible service on used it up like crazy to drain the battery, installing/backing up/ flashing new rom and it took 2 hours with heavy usage to drain from 17%. Just to compare last night I had a TPC ROM and was on WhatsApp for about an Hour and battery went from 85 to 34 %.
Re: Returning the phone.
First once you root you can the same way unroot, make sure first you install a stock ROM.
My friends have the same problem, one with this phone, and others with android phones in general, don;t waist your time returnig. To be safe you also have a year to send it to Samsung to get fixed if there is something wrong with it.
Basically, running apps will kill battery, location services kills it the most, sync not so much, heavy use of data does to (I have LTE plan). Use power saver to start at 70%, configure it right, use the CPU app to manage the speed ondemand.
Most important don't frick out, the andoid phones are like that, the major difference is that Iphone does maybe 20% of what android phone does in standby and many things are not available on Iphone, so the battery is better. You will not get more then a day of use on android if you use it to your benefit. 28H is mostly standby, no sync, no internet usage, just moderate. I used to use Iphone heavy and battery would not last a day.
Get a good data plan, don;t use WI-Fi unless u have too, when syncing with the car plug it in the charger, spend extra $10 get a Samsung cable from them, don;t go for cheap 10 dollar once or even 1 dollar once from China, they are very slow to charge. My cable from the box take 1.5 H to charge to 100.
Hope it helps, please don;t quote me on anything, this is purely based on research and one week usage and trying different things, it's strictly my opinion, don;t expect your phone to last like they use too, it's 21st century and techno in it is overwhelming and needs power. Keep the phone have two cables and enjoy!
This is my first smart phone, after 20 plus years of having cel phones. I try to read before posting any questions.

good habit to get into thanks for that....the search button is your friend.
I have been reading on the battery issues, long before I posted. I have done everything from calibrating, to using juice defender ultimate, to doing a ritualistic dance to try and coax more battery life out of this phone. Still with nothing but 2 phone calls and one quick spelling look up, dead within 8 1/2 hours.
I just got my extra battery and charger from samsung in today, already fully charged up this battery and will see what it can do for a few days. I'm hoping my problems are just a random bad battery. I also factory restored and am running bare minimum on apps just to try and remove all variables. If there still is a problem I will exhange it for another one next week. I just hope they still have some white ones in stock

My battery went completely dead too. I returned mine. Black model though. New one is doing okay so far. Better since it doesn't report 100% battery until a reboot...
Finally went and exchanged it last night. So far I have gotten 9 hours of battery life and am only down to 70%. Better than before, but the vertical lines on the screen are worse on this one than the last.

I have almost the opposite "problem." Not that I'd call it a problem just yet. I had my phone running from about 10am till 1am yesterday. I went to bed and plugged the charger in and it instantly said "battery charged 100%. Remove charger." 15 hours with no drain at all? Granted, I didn't do much with it yesterday but send about 20 text messages.
Going on 32 hours+ battery life and no vertical lines.. bought it when it came out Nov6....

30% in 9 hr's? you need to see what is killing your battery... unless you play games or on the net all day.. that is not good at all..
I lose about 1% an hour..
I don't know what you smoking man but i tried his rom and never had issues. Let me tell you I Have ORD so my suggestion will be based on my usage rather than prediction. I have tried most of the themed/tweaked roms. Don't like stock rom.

I have been having really terrible battery on my AT&T HTC One X. I have had it for over a month now and it has not lasted nearly as long as some other users who posted their battery stats.
I have tried several things to try to improve my battery, including turning off auto-sync and turning off the mobile network for almost all day long. I have tried stock, CleanROM 3.1 DE, and Sick Sense HOXL (in which I used the CPU editor to set it to battery saver mode). I have been able to stretch the battery life out to last about an hour extra with the CPU editor, but still nowhere near where I have seen others at.
My battery lasts about 14-15 hours maximum and about 2 hours of screen usage at most, but that is rare. Some days my battery lasts less than 10 hours and not even an hour of screen time. On these days the battery will drop 3%-5% at a time, sometimes even 10% at a time.
I really don't want to go to AT&T and exchange the phone if I don't have to, but I do have a warranty on it. I get a high percentage of screen use and am not sure if that is normal. Could it possibly be that my screen is not completely turning off?
I am posting pics and a logcat file to help determine the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i swear this thread comes up every day
I have looked through the forum to see if there is anything related, but most seem to say their battery gets hot. I don't have that problem. Maybe it is just AT&T's LTE that drains the battery too quickly? I want to be sure there is nothing wrong with the phone though because some days it drops way too quickly. If I turn off the phone and turn it back on, I lost a tremendous amount of battery. It seems weird to me.

Chrome was murdering my battery before the update, now it still kills it. I did a full run with it install. I never opened it and it used 10% of my battery. Doesn't seem like that's your problem though. But just monitor for any rogue apps.
I've been using Bad ass Battery stats to keep track of stuff. Its been a bit helpful but like you, I get about 15 -20 hours before I have to consider plugging it in. Some weather Widgets really kick the crap out of the battery so keep that in mind.
Idk how people pull off these 24hrs+ times but I'm a bit jealous.

I have tried the APN method to switch off LTE, but the method is sort of unreliable as it drops the network too frequently. I tried it for a day, but the results were similar. Any other method or should I just test it for longer?

I used this method for a while as well, but yes, the network drops are annoying. The battery on the One X is very inconsistent. You may want to try swapping your unit to see if you can do better.
Another thing, there are issues with LTE when you drop/regain signal, it starts draining like crazy sometimes.
I'm still trying to determine if I've got a defective unit or not. My battery drains fast, but maybe I'm to blame?
From 100% charge, I'm down to 45% after 4.5 hours, 2 hours and 20 minutes of screen time.
54% screen
27% calls
7% chrome
6% maps (why the hell is this always running anyway?)
Any thoughts?

There really are tons of threads talking about this, with battery temperature comments only being a fraction of those. search for the Battery Stats XL Edition thread. Not only does it have a ton of reports on good battery life, but TONS of info on how people achieve that and what they have found ot be helpful. There are numerous other threads you can find in a search. I have only seen one scenario where my battery drains remarkably quickly, and that's an issue with my corporate exchange email and is pretty sporadic (1 time every couple weeks, maybe slightly more).
Looks like you have one image in the OP that shows an extensive amount of WiFi-on time. that can really drain. screen brightness is another thing. I stay at 20% max,less if i can handle it. The app Brightness Toggle Widget is AWESOME for me...simple and makes it easy to keep phone at 20% (my normal level) but increase as ambient lighting dictates (like being outside). here are some more basic suggestions that i use to maintain easily a full day+ of battery. (running stock sense).
-disabled crapware (most att services, city id, google stuff I dont use, etc.)
-20% brightness most of the time
-wi-fi, GPS, BT off unless needed (LTE burns anyway!)
-syncing 1 gmail, 1 exchange account
-only running a couple of live widgets
-disabled live weather in pretty much every place possible as this can fry battery
-swipe away unused apps relatively frequently
these are mega-basic ideas but i've had no consistent battery problems and get great life. also, check your full charge voltage level using *#*#4636#*#* and confirm you are starting around 4187mV and have a healthy battery. it's also remarkably possible that you just got a phone with a poor battery/battery function. another thought is that i see you pulling some pretty low cell signal (only 1 bar LTE in one of those shots, 3 in a few others). That's not great and could kill more battery that you can easily tell. I'm in LTE and rarely see as little as 3 bars of service. if you are on the fringe of good signal that can really do you in. checked log file and nothing jumps out, but i'm not the most reliable source for interpreting that data. hope this helps in some way.

There really are tons of threads talking about this, with battery temperature comments only being a fraction of those. search for the Battery Stats XL Edition thread. Not only does it have a ton of reports on good battery life, but TONS of info on how people achieve that and what they have found ot be helpful. There are numerous other threads you can find in a search. I have only seen one scenario where my battery drains remarkably quickly, and that's an issue with my corporate exchange email and is pretty sporadic (1 time every couple weeks, maybe slightly more).
Looks like you have one image in the OP that shows an extensive amount of WiFi-on time. that can really drain. screen brightness is another thing. I stay at 20% max,less if i can handle it. The app Brightness Toggle Widget is AWESOME for me...simple and makes it easy to keep phone at 20% (my normal level) but increase as ambient lighting dictates (like being outside). here are some more basic suggestions that i use to maintain easily a full day+ of battery. (running stock sense).
-disabled crapware (most att services, city id, google stuff I dont use, etc.)
-20% brightness most of the time
-wi-fi, GPS, BT off unless needed (LTE burns anyway!)
-syncing 1 gmail, 1 exchange account
-only running a couple of live widgets
-disabled live weather in pretty much every place possible as this can fry battery
-swipe away unused apps relatively frequently

I have most bloatware disabled, at least everything that I was capable of disabling. My brightness is set to auto, I can try with it lower and see how that works (still not sure why my screen percentage shows to be so high, I have seen others with the phone and it stays much much lower like 20-30% and over 3 hours of use). I have auto-sync off and no live widgets running, I only use the sense clock/weather widget, but weather doesn't update unless I manually open it since auto-sync is off. I am also constantly swiping away unused apps and the only one that is ever really open is messaging because I use it more than anything else.
I really don't want to go swap my phone out unless there really is a problem with it, which is why I posted here. I need to find out of it is something hardware related, such as a defective battery or screen, rather than software related and capable of fixing.

Its insane lol Iam coming from a htc one and this easily lasts double what i got from the htc! Now i have adjusted my settings to help with battery life, I always do when i get a new phone. I turn alot of stuff off that aint being used and only turn them on if need be! None the less this is by far the best battery life i have ever experienced from a phone! It also drains consistently where as with the htc it used to drop from 100 - around 96 within a few minutes and then when it got to 30 it seemed to suddenly start draining faster! I took this off charge at 100 and left in standby for over 4 or 5 hours and it was still at 100%
I had great battery life when I first got mine. Since I updated the software, it's tanked.
I have repaired and factory reset it and i've optimised everything with battery savings, but went from 8 hours SOT and two day battery to around 6 screen on and at about 20% when I go to bed after one day.
HTC One M8 gave me around 6 hours screen on time, and lasted a day and a half.
Hoping this sorts itself out, as the screen temperature issue, speaker notification volume, and now battery life, is not enough to of justified my jumping ship :/ (Even though I really wanted it because it's waterproof) lol.
All that said, the battery life even now is excellent still.
It's not that good as some people say but still ok. I would say that maybe 20-30% better than htc one m8. This means that you can easily go through the work day but if you would be go out after the work day (partying) you would be a bit worried if the battery lasts.

I have hight demand about battery life but I'm also happy with Z3 dual. I wish it can be charge ( much ) faster by microUSB port, best could be about 2 hours.
I am actually disappointed by the battery. It's down to 80% after just an hour and a half with medium usage. How is it going to last 2 days like that? Don't know if my phone is a faulty device or I am doing something wrong. It's charging now, I will put up some screenshots if it's still bad. Everything else is perfect so the battery being bad (which should be the best thing with this phone) is making me sad :/

Sadly no. I'm only on WIFI and the brightness is on half and auto. I haven't gone a full day with this phone yet so I will let the battery go down to zero and take a screenshot before that to see if the results are really that bad or just like everyone else
I charged my when i first got it since i unplugged at 20:00 its now 22:13 the next day with heavy use im at 46%

First charge and use,
Been unplugged for about 9.5 hours. A lot of whatsapp usage today. Battery life currently sitting at 65%. About half LTE and half WiFi.
This is a lot better than my Samsung S4, but not sure how it compares to other users.
I'm actually curious if anyone has compared the z2 and z3 battery performance in real world usage with the same usage pattern? Which has the longer sceen on time and standby time etc.

Nothing special
Could anyone tell me if this looks right? Is it good or bad? I didn't charge it overnight so ~10 hours are included in which I didn't use the phone.
Here's my battery usage the first day after I got it (charged up to full overnight before starting to use):
http://imgur.com/a/RyftP?gallery
Summary: 13.5 hours on battery, leaving me with 6%, with 8h43m+ screen on time and 3+ hours of music. Coming from a Nexus 4, I'm very very happy.
coming from LG G i'm very happy.
I'm struggling to get 4 hours of screen time before it dies after less than a day. No apps at all hogging the battery or anything like that.
Standby battery seems to be awful, even with stamina mode on blocking everything other than facebook messenger and gmail. It's losing 1% an hour, which doesn't sound bad, but my Galaxy Note 3 was draining 1% every three hours on both stock rom and Cyanogen 11. Moto G 2014 similarly does around 1% every 2-3 hours.
Standby for the most part should be represented by an almost perfectly straight line in battery stats, but on the Z3 its a constant curve downwards, much like the standby battery bug in the OnePlus One.
I'm in a full 4 bar LTE area as well, so it's not poor signal doing the damage.
The strangest of all, is the first day I had the phone it managed to get me through 2 full days easily. That included 8 hours of music streaming over bluetooth each day, and 4 hours screen time. Yesterday I was just over 3 hours screen time after 17 hours, and it was on 6% battery, including the 8 hours or so music streaming. That is exceptionally poor compared to both the Note 3 and Moto G.
But who knows, maybe disabling all the bloatware is causing issues. Either way I'll have a replacement device from amazon tomorrow which hopefully wont have the screen issues or bluetooth/wifi dropouts (thoguh I suspect that is software related).

go into your battery settings and make a screen shot
I had z2 so will offer comparison on battery. It does last longer than z2 by approx 20-30%, on my usual usage with z2 I was at approx 15% remaining by end of the day, with the z3 I'm at about 35%ish.
Heavy use and relatively bright screen.

So one night I left my phone off the charger at 40%... it was about 2am. I woke up at about 6am and the phone was completely dead. 4 hours of STANDBY drained 40%. So I thought I was just imagining things and compared my phone usage stats to my buddies who got the same phone at the same time. Here's a quick comparison... and mind you.. my numbers are after a FRESH factory reset with only stock app updates installed and maybe 2 or 3 of MY apps that I needed. I can't speak to what he's installed, but with these contrasts... I don't think it matters much.
Does anyone have some insight to this, similar experiences? I'm really thinking that I have a bad battery perhaps? I get usage varies by user but I really don't think this much especially considering that I intentionally let my phone just sit uncharged and unused for a good chunk of the day after it hit 100 and I pulled it from the charger.

Here's the Usage Stats from a *#*#4636#*#*.... nothing out of the ordinary
same carrier? Your signal may be horrid in comparison to his.
Could be location, could be carrier. Make sure to take a look. If your phone is struggling to keep a data connection you'll kill your battery easy.

Same carrier, we live down the street from each other. Signal strength according to the *#*#4636#*#* is -92dBm 48asu (whatever the asu part means)
Sorry I don't have anything to add but I had this plague in S7. My battery died very fast.
The S8 has been opposite for me. I was able to get 15 hours out of the battery using it all day (where 8 of it was in a really bad reception area).
I hope you get it sorted out. I could never figure it out with my S7. I did alot of research (all here)

I am planning on bringing it to the AT&T store and presenting my findings to them and demand a replacement. I know that I had no issue chatting AT&T support and getting a replacement but they say that since it's brand new, I need to get support from the AT&T store.

I don't know the battery life on mine is amazing 100% after 8hrs standby. and I was on my phone yesterday for 14hrs doing stuff and that brought me down to 5% from 100. I have most of the gestures and crap that drains the battery off though.
My point is if your not happy with your battery life there maybe something physically wrong with the battery or phone.
It's bound to happen a lot of people are buying these so not every phone is going to work as it should.

I agree completely that there is a battery issue. I've had a LOT of exposure to testing battery life, troubleshooting what impacts battery, etc... and I'm fairly confident there is some sort of battery issue. There are FAR too many people reporting stellar results for me not to as well. Even with how much I use use it, there was someone getting 40+ hours on battery... so I should be able to get 12 right after a factory reset... you'd think

Would love to know what his is. -92 isn't terrible but it's not great. You'd be amazed based on tower placement what even 50 feet can do, much less building materials, etc.
not saying this is for sure it, but i've been in this same situation with another carrier, was dead set it was the phone/battery and so were they, we tried 3 replacements before I gave up and determined it had to be a signal problem. Switched carriers and got the same exact phone, issue was gone.
Mine is exceptionally good. I get 0 to 1% drain overnight. My battery seems to last forever in the day. I don't think it's your signal. I have been in bad signal areas for long periods of time with this phone and no significant drain. I would definitely get a replacement and go from there. Good luck

I had this problem, turned off location and always on display before heading to sleep, battery was at 96%. 9 hours later when I woke up, 93%. Before when I had both settings on, my phone dropped by 14 percent overnight. SOT is amazing so far, 2h 40 min at 74%. Will post pics when battery is almost dead.
P.S. - Compared to my Nexus 6 battery, I used to get 3 hours SOT before dying, looking good so far.
I went to the AT&T store and they hooked my phone up to a diagnostic machine and it said the charging system was defective. So new phone and fingers crossed.

I've had my AT&T Note 10 plus for over a week now, and for the first week the battery life was stellar. Three days ago seemingly out of nowhere, battery life had tanked. Some context - I came from a Note 9 which had fantastic battery life. Location on, widgets, notifications, etc were enabled. I feel I shouldn't have to yield to or cripple my phone to get decent battery life from it so I refuse to do that on a device that costs this much. It should just work.
Anyway, fast-forward to three days ago with my note 10+ - same settings and everything as my previous note 9 - and out of nowhere the battery life just starts to tank. Android System is seems to be the drain, but I'm not sure what in there is causing it. The phone is constantly warm. As an experiment, I've put it on airplane mode now with wifi still on and the phone has cooled down but I'm not sure yet if the battery is being drained less or not as it's only been a few minutes. But, I am losing about 6% battery/hr not even using the phone. That is rather unacceptable after it having worked just fine the first several days I've had it. I refuse to disable location and do other seemingly band-aid tricks to help the battery along as I don't feel that really solves the issue and should be unnecessary for a device that costs this much money. I also refuse to factory reset unless I ABSOLUTELY have to because these phones are a pain in the rear to setup, even with Samsung/Google's restore. So many settings to go in and manipulate.
I hope this resolves itself or I can get to the bottom of it somehow. I really love this phone and really don't want to go back to my iPhone XS Max over a battery issue but it is just unacceptable for the battery to drain like this with little to no actual use of the phone. The other night by the time I had placed it on the charger, android system was up over 30%...
is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I apologize if this has been discussed before - I couldn't find anything similar.
EDIT
After putting the phone in airplane mode (wifi left on), it has cooled down and battery drain seems to have improved. According to the battery graph it looks like the phone is also finally going to sleep. Previously the graph went straight down to the right with no flat spots.
What could this be? My cell reception hasn't changed and I'm at wit's end

I use Naptime from the play store by Francisco Franco and no as the title of his app says you don't get 9000% better battery. You'll need a couple of adb commands to get it to work it you're not rooted.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze&hl=en
This is a quote from Franco - Unbelievably improve the battery life during idle of your device by empowering Android's built-in Doze power saving functionality. It supports Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and now Pie. It features more options for rooted devices, but it'll also work if you're unrooted.
Naptime also allows you to disable WiFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth during doze for that battery life /flex ?
I find that I'm losing around 1 to 0.7% per hour is that normal or considered good? The other night my phone was at 95% I woke up 6 or so hours later and it was a 89%. I'll need to do some thorough testing, but I don't know what to make of those results.
Anyone on here have some advice on weather that idle time is good or bad? My device is an unlocked n10plus running Snapdragon
-If you charge to 100 and put it next to your bed. How much is it next morning?
-do you use the led cover?
-are there any less known apps in your list?
Switching off wifi, Bluetooth etc is useless. These are efficient enough nowadays.
I tested these kind of "tricks" and no difference after my nightly sleep test.
Sometimes an app like evernote, google foto's or journey is downloading a lot of data in your new phone.

With all my last Notes I get a .6 till .9% per hour in a situation where i put my Note next to my bed and do not touch it during sleeping hours.
I live on three different locations, in different countries even, and that shows some battery consuming difference. Routers and provider locations are not the same.
I have more than 180 apps installed. No games however.
I am not rooted, but use GSAM battery monitor. The quickest way to see the hourly consumption.
Factory reset means a full day work for me. E.g. banking apps need a lot of tuning. Even using Google and Samsung restore.

Not sure what could have happened, or if it's something on ATT's end? I don't know where else to look. I'm with you on the factory reset. It's such a waste of time and will take up hours.
mine also been facing this battery drain issue since day one. Tried using naptime just now and it improve my battery life ALOT!! Thanks for the suggestion

Pls try to charge it before going to bed and leave it to see how much it spends overnight w i t h o u t touching it. If it is higher than 1+%/hr something is wrong..
I buy a new phone every year because I am nuts. But I always register in Evernote my findings.
Frequently the power consumption is higher in the beginning, because a lot of background activity like data reading and background update of software.
If it is more than, let's say 1.2%/hr during overnight sleep it is not ok.
I am doing this test now with my Note 10+ 512 (Yes i am nuts, I told you) and will inform you later.
After seven hours .8%/hr which is normal.

I can tell you right now that it's losing 5-6% an hour just sitting there. The phone has been set up for days now so I know it's not the setup process. Like i said, it was fine for almost a week, then out of nowhere this happens...

Pffff, you have a problem. So in settings/maintenance/battery there no apps with high use?
After just rebooting the phone the consumption starts immediately?

Yes...I know I have a problem...Android System is the culprit. Beyond that, I do not know what in "android system" is causing it. Perhaps a wake lock bug? A wifi bug?
It's always the same with my Samsung devices it's rediciculus Samsung. On your note 10 or note 10+ before switching to flight mode set the network setting to 3g only! In 7 hours you will loose only 2% battery instead of 8 or more. Same was on my note 9 but Samsung finally patched this behavior a few month ago. Now the same with my note 10+.
This problem is only for the flight mode. So you can test 3 things in 3 nights. You have 3 options before going in flight mode. In network selection choose 3g only. Than watch what happens over night. Next time you choose 2g/3g only and you can try it with 2g only.
For me doing so 1-2 % battery drain in 7-8 hours.
I've pretty bad reception with 4G. But no crazy 25% drain over night, more like 4-5%. And that's with the non plus Note with exynos.
With naptime, do you get notifications instantly? I have auto sync on all the time, is there any issues around this?
Just bought a new galaxy note 10 and overnight from 100 % i have 57 this morning. Whats going on?
Is this normal on note 10 plus battery health?

My N10+ is about 3 weeks old, but I found, like you, that after a couple days of stellar battery life my idle was starting to drain pretty fast. Going to bed and waking about 6 hours later I was missing around 20%. This is with all apps closed, WiFi, BT, Location, Link to Windows, Mobile data, NFC, Sync, and AOD turned on. I turned off AOD, NFC, and Link to Windows. My battery drain since, for the better part of 2 weeks, has been about 5-6 percent. Around 1% an hour while sleeping. I don't know how I can help, but I hope this does. I honestly can't complain about this battery. I have been getting 6-7 of screen time before having to charge around 10%.
Edit: also turned off edge lighting, which I had enabled before.
ehm so you made your top shelf 1000$ device into a feature phone ... that's no solution

I don't remember saying, "Here's a solution for you!" No, I simply posted what I did to stop the horrible battery drain that I was experiencing.
Also, I spent the $1,100 on this phone and I'm pretty sure I can use it however I want. Feature phone, paper weight, fish tank decoration..:good:
My N10+ has been sat on my desk and not used for 4 hours yet battery has gone from 100% to 78%.
I don't know how this is acceptable.

I have the reg note 10 and ive been battling this for a couple weeks. nothing seems to keep the system from sucking the batter dry. Standby life is a joke. i lost 40% today with the phone on for about 10 hours and 30 min SOT while i was at work. I cant figure out whats stuck in the system, tried literally everything
