[Q] Asus Fonepad Note 6 Cell Standby battery drain

I am having an usually high cell standby battery drain, around 60-80%:

But the weird thing is, that the battery is acting relatively normal, i.e. it can easily last through a day of intensive use, being discharged for about ~10% / hour (thats with bluetooth / gps on, constant email checking, occasional browsing, taking pictures etc). So, I am confused, as this cell standby maybe simply gives the wrong reading but it's still unclear, how much does it really consume. Does anyone know, how to fix it, maybe, or should I simply wait for a new firmware? I am on V10.16.1.37.2 (stock, not rooted) and, btw, I noticed, that cell standby acted normal on the very first version of firmware.
Another problem I have is that it eats about 1% a hour in standby mode (wifi off, bluetooth off, sync off, nothing weird running in background, 3g on), which is like four times less than advertised 490 h
Asus tech support is utterly useless, if the answer is not in the user manual, then they simply tell you to file a request for RMA, which I don't want to do for obvious reasons.

Same problem here!

Hi! I also have the same problem. I tried using other battery monitor apps. The best one I found (just today) is Battery Doctor.
After installing Battery Doctor, what I did was drain my battery down to 5% then charged it up to 95%. As of now, the Battery Doctor detects "operating system" as my top drainer. I don't know if it is safe to assume that what it detects is the "screen dispay" but base on my previous fonepad 7, the percentage of the screen display is somewhat near to the "operating system" that the battery doctor detects.
And since there wasn't any "screen display" on the battery doctor, it made me assume that it is the screen display.
I must warn you though, battery doctor has a Task killer. I know that Task killers can cause some apps to misbehave, I suggest that refrain from using the Task killer and Battery Saver of Battery Doctor if you're going to try this app.
There is also a "Unique 3steps Charging" in Battery Doctor that COULD do a quick charge...although it didn't work for me quite well today, I might try that feature again and see if it really works on Fonepad note 6.
I hope you also give it a try and give some feedback.
Good luck

[Q] Android ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level?

As the title says, I'm looking for a ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level (No texting, phonebook, data), since the radio fried, and all it's doing is eating up battery.I like my phone enough to keep it, but I'd rather not replace the whole motherboard because of it. Any leads? Or am I better off just building one myself?

That's what I've always done tbqh. Enabling airplane mode has always given me a noticeable uptick in battery life, and when my Skyrocket was a skyPod, I could milk days out of the thing.

Even when the cellular was working fine, it had 2-3 days of battery the way I was using it. Now that it's gypped, I've been getting 10-12 hours. I'll first test around with airplane mode before doing anything too drastic to it.
Might also go the factory reset route, if i can get the Wifi Antenna working again.

That sounds more like a doomsday wakelock than a hardware problem. Have you checked those for vampires?

Yea, I ran GSAM Battery Monitor and it was giving me a 90% total battery usage being used by the cellular radio, 5% wifi usage, and 3% app usage, with 2% wakelock. I also ran the secondary tests, and I have no wakelock isssues from my charger. When airplane mode's enabled, and wifi's on, I get 20% wifi, 40% screen, and 40% apps. Battery drain is now controlled at an estimated 2%/hour while off, and 5%/hour while being used, down from 8%/hour while off, and 12%/hour while being used. For me, usage means moderate use, with a lot of apps and photos.

That seems pretty normal. My Rocket gets about 1% per hour when idle, 5% per hour when in moderate use (apps, browsing), 8-10% per hour if I'm playing processor-intensive games, and I spent months fine-tuning it to kill any and all wakelocks I possibly could. You might have hit the limit there.

General Standby / idle battery drain

Standby / idle battery has been terrible. I've googled and barely found anything on this issue. The first time I activated the phone it was google play services near the top. Did a factory reset and I've been using since.
Battery drain is worse when no data / wifi is connected. If I connect to wifi , battery drain is less. A step below having airplane mode. I hate charging the phone to 85-100% just for it to drop considerably over 12-24 hours. I've gotten between 2-4 hours of Screen on time but I feel like it should average 5 hours atleast if I use the phone moderately.
Would betterbatterystats help in this situation?

Goggle Backup Transport or other cloud apps running in background.
Best to an adb edit or package disabler to kill it.
In lieu of doing the above or in conjunction, temporarily disable Google play Services when not needed like at night.

I had a similar problem, lowering the brightness level in the settings helped a little. I also recommend using Wi-Fi in places where it is available instead of 4g, which is much more energy-consuming and disable all background applications that are not needed at the moment. If it doesn't help, only useful solution to change the battery, if it's possible.

Here's an update . Fully charged battery and just let it idle. Google play services running for 11 hours

Mine does it as well. After night (6-8hrs) drop about 4%, disabled network and 5G, no changes with airplane mode, another flip also has this problem, battery drain does not occur when device is off

You do realise that battery "drain" over those 11 hours was 0.2%
That's tiny in the grand scheme of things .. or am i missing something?

As long as other play services dependencies like Backup Transport didn't suck down a huge amount during that time...

how did gou enlarged the status bar? it look greater than mine status bar/

Check out the app called "don't kill my app"
Also check out there website. It will help... probably

First of all you shouldn't be charging to 100% ever. There is an option to stop at 85%. Enable it then use package disabler or adb to stop tons of background garbage.

Question Battery drain problem (arrowos 11)

I think I'm having some battery drain problems on my Poco X3 Pro.
I've had the phone for 4 months, in December I installed ArrowOS 11, and it had a battery life of about 8hr screen time with wifi, social media, youtube, etc.
After installing an arrowos OTA I think I have seen a degradation in my battery life, now I do not reach 7 hours of screen. And at night it goes down to about 7% in idle. I charge my phone to 100 and let it run down to around 2-3%, I know this reduces battery life but in only 4 months? I have forgotten a couple of times and left it charging overnight, if that, it would have been 2-3 times in all those months. According to Accubattery I have a 90% battery life, I feel that it goes down a lot, but I don't know how reliable it is.
the last picture is from 1 month ago, before installing the OTA update.

Any solutions? Have the same problem

Battery usage can vary from many factors, and not always is about the ROM.
Your usage from the apps are not always the same, and also, apps can be updated to - not always in a good matter of things...
A drop from 8 to 7 hours of SoT is, in reality, nothing. Is inside of the range of values to be expected. The ROM update could have been just a coincidence.
Most of the times, users don't see difference in they activity on the device, but it may be something simple as use the screen in environments with a little more light - and Auto Brightness activated - leading to more bright screens... or just use in general.
still, is a great SoT in both ways. nothing to worry about - and don't panic with such range of SoT, is normal.

With the amount of social apps and crap you have running in the background, ni wonder you drain battery during idle time. Those apps wakelock the device while they connect and do their thing in the background. I have attached my overnight battery loss, with the apps I have installed ( including social stuff like Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber and mail client ).
So, you see, it's not about the ROM... it's about the crap you fill it with. And read up on app broadcast intents. By tweaking those, you can achieve miracles in battery saving.

My pixel 3 battery drain issue NEED HELP

Even with 2900mAh battery my phone last a day for me. Suddenly one night my phone discharged from 80 to 2% overnight in airplane mode and I found that 10%/h discharge on Accubattery (screen off). I checked my previous record it was 5%/h.
My phone also get too warm for idle. I tried shutting down and turning it back on and found that power button not working tried to turn on while charging it worked (Thank GOD!). I also found that battery drain continues even after shutdown.
Tried bitdefender (no problem found), factory reset, still the problem continues. any suggestions?
Accubattery estimation: 85% (2500 mAh)

If the battery drain happens quickly even with the phone switched off, then I'd guess it needs a new battery.
Another idea I've read somewhere is to drain the battery until the phone shuts off. Then keep trying to switch on the phone until there's absolutely no sign of life anymore, it might take a half hour. Then plug in a charger and let it charge to 100% before switching on. Supposedly, the idea is to calibrate the battery percentage meter and get a more accurate reading of your battery capacity.

It sounds like a hardware or battery failure, but you could try reflashing the ROM. Reflashing costs nothing, and there is a chance it could help. If it was me, I'd be looking for a new phone if the reflash didn't help.
