I cannot find an indication of screen on time in either Usage or History under my power menu. Is it not there, or am I just blind? I've also checked the "Display & gestures" without luck.
Screen time has always been my major indication of battery life, so I'm having a hard time evaluating my new phone without it. Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Try a 3rd party app like GSAM Battery Monitor.
So it's really not there? I really thought I was just missing something. It's ridiculous that the information is not available through the stock rom.
Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the app, but it seems like there's got to be a way to get the stock system to show that info? Maybe there's a mod of the settings.db to enable it?
Anyone know?
Yeah, I have no idea why HTC would not include the "Screen" section for Battery Usage

Isn't it in settings under / power ? nevermind I see what your talking about.
Yeah that irritated the heck out of me too when I first noticed it. And since KitKat you can't use apps to monitor battery statistics without root and an Xposed module. Now I just betterbatterystats and EnableBatteryStatsPermission xposed module and I can see my screen on time, kernel wakelocks, and everything else. Works for me.

My screen battery percentage is around 70%. I am wondering if that is normal because on a screenshot I saw in another thread, the person's screen % was in the 40s. If it isn't normal, can someone help me with bring the the battery usage of the screen down? (My battery is being drained and I was wondering if it was the issue with the screen .) And sorry if I seem very noobie >_<.
The higher your screen percentage the better it is because it tells nothing else is draining your battery significantly. At 40%, there are other things that are running your battery dry aside from screen.
You could post a screen shot for others to see and advice.

If you're rooted you can always clear battery stats in CWM. Some devices appear to perform better. Also check what's running in the background (processes). Disabling things like GPS can save battery. If you use TiBu, freezing unneeded apps can free up power and resources. If you venture into that, I would suggest doing one at a time to avoid freezing apps that your tab needs running. Google/search forum as I'm sure others have posted their experiences.
Just a few random thoughts....

I notice android media process consume your android battery. I am also wondering about android media and server process in my GT- 6800 with paranoid 2.55. Here are the process that help me out
try to delete all you music or picture files and back it up to you pc
unistall the game and try to install game one by one to see which game will consume your android media process
using terminal emulator to disable android process media. I refer to this site; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37199
1) have Android SDK installed on your laptop
2) enable debugging on your *rooted* device
3) connect it to you laptop via USB
4) adb shell
5) su
6) pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
It works for me and now I have no media process in system and media server consume reasonable memory. Thanks

My tablet is rooted, but I don't know how to clear battery stats. However, I am currently using Battery Monitor Widget Pro and I see the calibration tab. Once again, I have no idea how to use the calibration thing on this app. And I disable GPS all the time, unless I really need to use it, which is hardly ever. As for TiBu, I don't know what that is. Is that Titanium Backup?

If you have CWM installed then there is an option (from the menu) to clear your battery stats. If you don't have CWM then please download from the "development" section.

Hello,
I recently moved from another rom to Synergy. I tried r443 and r484 (stock kernel), and I have this problem on both versions.
When I go to the Battery tab under Settings, it seems that the usage from most apps goes to the "screen". Please see the attached picture. Even though I spend a lot of time in other apps, I don't see the usage from any apps. I rebooted my phone several times, but the problem is still there. What would be causing the problem?
I just registered, so I couldn't leave a post in the original post for Synergy. Could someone move this question to there?
Thanks.
No one is experiencing the same problem as this? This is frustrating.
Try using another app such as better battery stats and see what it shows.

Not every application will be displayed in the battery tab until it hits a certain percentage, or so it seems. Screen will most likely always be the highest on battery consumption. I would suggest getting a different application for monitoring your battery/app consumption. The best one out there would BetterBatteryStats which can be found here:

Before I switched to Synergy, other apps, such as web browsers and media players, had been displayed as expected. I don't think the problem is because other apps are not reaching a certain percentage. Even if I spend hours on a certain app (say Dolphin), the app doesn't register there.
I am not sure what is causing the problem. I will try the app, thank you.

Just hit ignore for the apps you want.
I think you cannot disable the app, only add apps to exceptions.
I figured it out. Freeze "Phone Manager" app. You will need an app like "App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE" to do this. You will loose battery menu and power optimization menu. But it seems to work.
Idk if this is right.
Go to settings-advanced settings- battery manager- then touch on the gear icon on top right of the screen- untick or turn off the power intensive prompt.

Thank You for the tip. That might work for the notification. But I also wanted to prevent apps from being stopped while screen is off. I would still need to go into "Protected Apps" to protect every new app I install. Freezing "Phone Manager" takes care of both situations.

But advanced settings, battery as some report of software and hardware consumption.
If i understood what you meant you have to do two thing:
- in settings -> battery management, hit the gear in the upper right corner and then just untick the first option (power usage notification)
- if you want prevent the closure of heavy apps go in the protected apps menu (always in battery management) and tick the one you want to keep in memory.

I get warnings all the time with my device unfortunately, I'm talking 2/3 times a day for different apps.
I always ignore them, but it seems on my device at least, that as soon as I exit an app and it doesn't close, I get a notification.
Given the less friendly finger print reading I have taken to double tapping on the screen to turn it on. But relatively often it does not respond to a double tap. Is anyone else experiencing that?
The other one is that at many web sites I go to a pop up message box will come up asking if they can read my device's location. The answer box NEVER responds to a click. The screen will be dim. I have to back up 1 screen which closes the query box. I actually expect that one of my apps that have privileges to over write other apps is the culprit, but I don't see why they would mess with that one function, especially when at that moment those apps aren't being brought up. Any thoughts on this?
Increase screen sensitivity if you haven't already.
Yes I've experienced the double tapping unresponsiveness and decided to have AOD on all the time instead despite additional battery drain just to bypass this issue.

That's what I do on the 10+
Battery drain is slightly less than 1% @ hour.
For me it runs best/most efficiently with no power management* running other than the system power setting to optimized.
*some apks are package blocked otherwise all buckets show as active in Developer Options. If this is not the case unwanted power management is active.
I'm running Pie; not sure how Q will respond. I found it's best to let Android handle power management exclusively other than blocking serial power hogs like Google Backup Transport and Framework Services Framework. I don't use these.

Here's another interesting thing: every now and then (actually several times during the course of a day) after turning the screen on the bio didn't with nor the location, and it forces me to enter the pin to get into the phone. I even have it set to not lock if hooked to my hearing aids and it still happens.

I keep my phone with me at all times, don't let others use it and never lock it. Makes life easier.
It's a steep learning curve with these devices... make sure it has the permissions it needs like being able to change system settings.

Permission to change system settings is in it's own listing apart from permissions in each app settings.
Could be more than one apk needed to make all work right.
Make sure power management not doing it.
In Developer Options>Standby Apps, all apps listed there should show as having their buckets as "active" if they not, power management is active.

one of the apps is interfering as you correctly suspect
First off, I love the phone and I'll keep it, but ever since I got the phone I've been wondering why it's draining so much in standby. It's my first Samsung phone since 2011, so naturally I assume it's Samsung apps/services that drain? Especially since I don't use any new apps than on my other phones and in the battery stats it doesn't really show any user apps that use a lot.
Anyone has way to measure what system/user apps drain during standby? Or even better, any dev that could do a deeper dive into this?
For example, I just lost 32% battery while sleeping for about 8h, it has never been this much on any other of my previous phones (OnePlus Nord/Pixel 3a/Pixel 3/Pixel 2).
In fact, my OnePlus Nord with 815mAh more than the Flip3 is currently on last charge 3 days ago (it doesn't show me hours anymore) and 2h35m SOT and 25% battery left. On the Flip I just now got 17h with 1h30m SOT and 5% left. Settings all similar besides location accuracy turned off for the Flip as that was a massive drain.
Something must be unintentionally draining the battery during standby and I really hope one of you smart guys can find it. Or Samsung fixes it with an update..
I disabled AOD and any unnecessary account sync processes. It's only drained about 2% in standby the last 5 hours, but there are still some things to finish configuring.

The first step in improving the battery is to remember that this isn't any other phone. You may want to explore what options are available and what all you have enabled. By default, almost everything is on to show off all the cool new features that make this a Flip 3, not a OnePlus Nord.

Not true. Samsung has a bunch of features still in use.
Settings -> Advanced features -> Motions and gestures has a whole collection of things that are still running when the screen is off (and most aren't useful to the Flip, but came from "another phone").
Settings -> Cover screen allows you to disable turning on the screen when notifications arrive, if that is not something you need.
Also, unless you are using the app to lower the refresh rate, you may be running a bit high when idle.

Appreciate the help, I believe there must be something that's unintentionally draining and while I went through every single setting in the beginning, I'm still very new to OneUI (and also impressed how far it came from the TouchWiz ****show)
One thing I always forget is that a lot of those features are running services and polling when they're enabled. Even though I'm not touching the screen with the tap to wake enabled, it's constantly waiting for that tap when it's asleep. Any one isn't a big impact, but Samsung has so many "convenience" features that I end up wasting battery to never use.
The calibration period is also horrible. Android 11 is slow to calibrate the battery and Samsung is worse. You can get a good idea of what is draining battery by going to Settings -> Battery and device care -> Battery. That may help find out if it's a renegade app.
One thing Asus does that I wish Samsung would embrace is Auto-start management. Some apps aren't efficient at polling for notifications and more than once have been the cause of major drain.
Another one even Samsung admits to be a source of drain is the edge panels. If you don't use them, it's best to kill the entire feature.

I just assumed it's not a big impact as OnePlus has those as well, for example draw a "V" on screen for flashlight or ">" to skip song besides the regular double tap to wake and it never appeared to be a battery issue for me before.

OnePlus also optimizes them better than brand new Samsung firmware. I had a lot of stuff enabled on the Note 20 Ultra that I won't be using for a month or two now.
Some apps are excluded, but it will let you know if it's something not included with the phone.
Another good idea is to uninstall, disable, or "adb uninstall" any bloat you don't use. Besides clearing up space in the app drawer, it kills off services you don't use. A lot of the apps will run services even before you sign in, even though they aren't actually handling any data.

If you have the unlocked version, they allowed uninstall for a lot of apps that were previously locked. A lot can also be downloaded later from Google Play or the Galaxy Store if you change your mind.
I use Firefox, so I uninstall Samsung Internet and Chrome. Members and Health are two big ones that like to run those "please enable us" services. It's a lot of deciding what you might use versus what you can live without.
Another good idea is to add anything you won't use, but didn't remove to deep sleeping apps to kill it's ability to run in the background. It's the closest thing to auto start management without rooting.

I'll probably head to bed in a few hours and then report back tomorrow morning how much I lost during the night..
I'm not claiming to have amazing battery life, since I almost considered keeping my trade-in and returning this one over it. I am interested why it is so bad for others, though.

HOLY **** I would love to have this battery life. I'm literally not doing anything with the phone and just loosing so much. I'm pretty much the opposite of a power user, so my phone is in standby most of the time and loosing so much is pretty frustrating.
EDIT: I might have an idea why it's so bad for me, I don't really have reception in my apartment (as you can see on my screenshots), so I assume it's constantly trying to get better receptions, I see 2 bars sometimes, but most of the time 0. I'll keep my phone at the window where I have reception for the rest of the day and see if it makes a difference. (Although the OnePlus has also bad reception, but does have a different carriers SIM card)

Dependencies, dependencies, dependencies... some of those apks just sit there unless needed.
Do not disable apks/services unless you know what they do and what, if any, their dependencies are. Go too far and you'll end up in a boot loop.
What works for others probably isn't ideal for you.
Package Disabler is a better option as you easily toggle apks on/off as needed.
Screen off the serial offenders tend to be Google backup Transport, Framework and any cloud apps.
Try disabling Google play Services at night and see if that helps. You may need to disable Find my Device first as System Administrator if disable is greyed out.
Disabling play services also kills Gmaps and Playstore which are know hogs. Gmail as well to a lesser extent.
Google Firebase, do you need it? If not disable.
Carrier, Google, Samsung and app feedback, disable.
Using power management can cause erratic behavior and not solve the problem. Treat each power hog on a case by case basis instead. It takes a lot longer but yields a cleaner, more stable setup.
Play with it, go through -all- the settings. It's actually quit fun to explore and almost impossible to crash and burn.
