I see people with over 20 hours on their battery graph thing. Does that mean 20+ hours of nonstop use, or including the sleeping and turning off display? I have to charge my phone 2-3 times a day. I use it a lot, but I still feel like the battery life is too short for a new phone.
Hi. Usually, I charge my S5 1-2 times in a day if I use it for browsing, chatting, streamming, camera. If I let it standby, I charge my S5 once in 2 days
My problem is my S5 is very hot when it is charging. I don't use it at all when it is charging. So, I have to charge it in ultra power saving mode or turn it off
I have to wipe cache via recovery mode or the battery will get hot very fast when i am using my S5
S5 exynos (SM-G900H)

for sure it includes the sleeping and turning off display ...it would be great if you have a 4-6 h screen on time with heavy-medium usage
so it's normal to charge it 2 times a day
Just got a new Z3 D6616. This is the battery life projection I'm getting. I bought this phone because I heard great things about it's battery life. Also, when I saw a YouTube review, the guy's phone had a battery life projection of several days. Is something faulty with this specific handset? Am I doing something terribly wrong? Please advise.
PS. I'm at about 30-40% screen brightness with the adaptive setting on.

You should actually use the phone from 100% doing your daily stuff till about 1% and take screen of your on screen time. On screen time is what matter. They claimed to have at least 8 hours SoT with normal usage but the max I can get is only 4.5 or 5 hours.
I did a lot of reading before buying the phone. Heard about the "memory" screen or something that helps towards battery life. Several users claimed 10 hours SOT. Could it be the newer firmware that might have reduced it? I'll post the YouTube videos I saw shortly.
I use brightness at about 1/3 and have location and autosync on. I get about 8-9 Hrs SOT in a 36Hrs period.
At first even I got 4-6 Hrs SOT until it calibrated over a few charge/discharge cycles.
It takes a few cycles for the battery to calibrate, if you want to do that faster do the following:
1. Drain to 0-1% with normal use
2. Do a full charge till 100%
3. Do another full discharge (Dont charge in between)
4. Do another full charge till 100%
5. Now just use it how you want.
Thanks! Guess I'll have to report back report back after a couple cycles.
I have the same problem, I have enable the stamina mode, have the brightness at half and auto,and the battery won't last for one day,as an example today when I get up after I unplug the device it go from 100% to 99% right away and now after 10 hours without game,photos just Internet reading over WiFi the battery is at 31%. It doesn't seem normal, what should I do?must go to service?
I'm at 59% and my phone predicts 1 day remaining.
D6616 as well
I do suspect an app draining my battery though...

1 day standby time you mean?

Nope, 1 day 19 hours standby
Well, it says 23 hours now... and 1 day 18 hours in Standby mode.
I also have no power saving features enabled, with max brightness..
I can get 6+ hours if I limit my brightness, but I settle for less with max brightness throughout the day.

Could it have something to do with the display image enhancement mode? I'm using X-reality. What about you?

I have it turned off, I can't really tell a difference..
Sometimes my "battery forecast" is low like yours though, I wouldn't worry about it unless you're actually getting bad battery life.

The battery life I'm experiencing is worse than the "forecast", which is essentially what worries me. Regardless, I've no right to whine unless I've cycled the battery completely at least once since it is after all a brand spanking new phone.

I doubt I'd get the 24 hours from now with my current use either. As long as it lasts me throughout the day I'm fine.
I can generally go the entire weekend without charging my phone though.
Ive gone through 3 Z4s (Cosmetic defects/lightbleed) on my 4th Z4, all of the were bad until they were calibrated within a few days.

Lol yes.
I fully discharged and recharged my phone. Now I got 18 hours usage, including 7 hours SOT with the screen on max brightness for half an hour. It's getting much better now, certainly a huge improvement over my previous phone!
Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
That's more like it, it should get a little better.
Please have a look towards the end... My phone's been awake when I was asleep. Is there an issue with this phone deep sleeping? While I get a good SOT, the idle drain is too high! Please advise on how I could investigate if a particular app is doing this. I used to use "wakelock detector" but that no longer works without root.
EDIT: Stamina Mode always on.

I have the same problem too... Whenever I leave the phone idle, even with the stamina mode on, it still uses the battery as if I was using it.
Does anyone get quite bad battery drain overnight?seems to drain more than when I had my s7 edge!!I know s7 edge had doze built in so I'm assuming s8+ also had doze built in,also compared to my previous phone iPhone 7+ which hardly drained,dropped 10% overnight about 6 hours doing nothing and was in ultra battery settings also using greenify,do I need to download the app doze?other than this battery life through the day and such has been great anyone else get this?cheers

The reason why it don't show i unplugged phone around 2:30 am after that i went right back to bed and just woke up now , so thats normal will not show apps since phone wasn't touched till i got up, once you start using phone and apps then it will start showing apps being used!

My battery drain overnight is minimal, 8 hours off the plug on a full charge is 4-6 per cent.

So before you stop using phone for night do you close all apps in background for them not to show or just leave it?thanks for info
I'm having a battery issue as well. I had my phone on the car charger for 5 hours and it showed that it was charging but my phone dropped to 6%. There were no apps running in the background and I restarted the phone.
My T-Mobile variant S8+ seldom has more than a 4% drop after being fully charged and sitting on desk for 8-9 hours. I've disabled Bixby and several other services.

I've had a couple of instances when the battery would not charge when plugged is. Showd as quick charging, but no increase in percent battery charge. Rebooting fixed it for me both times.
Sent telepathically
I usually charge my phones overnight, but in the one instance that I left it unplugged, I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to 100%. Not a single percent dropped. It's worth mentioning that I turned the phone over so that AOD would shut off.
i've been having issues as well. it has been draining 20-40% overnight lately. i got gsam with advanced stats on and have been removing stuff... i'm not quite sure what the culprit is, but i think it might be dt ignite so i disabled that.

You need to identify the what the wake-locks are that are causing the battery drain. Install BetterBatteryStats, charge your phone right before bedtime, then leave it overnight to collect data. Post a screenshot of BetterBatteryStats when you wakeup the next morning.
i have the same problem with my galaxy S8 i lose overnight between 10 and 20 %.. before this problem i lost 1 to 3% overnight and now it has been a week that i have this problem of loosing 10 to 20% :/
I have my Wi-Fi off, phone face down so Aod is turned off. Location is on power saving mode. Optimised settings ,fhd+. Still I lose more than 10% overnight. What should I do to reduce this drain ?? I am getting a great battery life otherwise on my note 8. About 6 to 7hrs of Sot with about 18 hrs total.
I`m getting 2% drain over 8 hours of sleep with AOD off , wifi on or off it`s the same 2%, location always on on power saving mode.
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 Samsung Galaxy S10e'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!
Not impressive, I lose about 1% every 30 min without using the phone :/ (Exynos)
This is pretty disappointing it looses 10 - 15% of battery overnight doing absolutely nothing.
I am losing about 2%/hour doing absolutely nothing.
My S10e loses almost nothing if I turn things off.
Airplane overnight = less than 1 percent
with AOD it loses a bit, 4-5

Excuse me guys, but its not true that the phone does nothing. It communicates permanently with the antenna signals and the network, so its absolutely normal that it drains battery. Every phone drains battery in standby, even when they are on airplane mode (although in this mode the drainage is much much lower)
If you want yout phone to actually do nothing, you have to turn it off.

Yea... no. My two year old Oneplus 5t, with nearly 100 apps installed, only drops 3 - 6% overnight with 4g on.
My 1 week old galaxy s10e with airplane mode on drops 10% overnight.

I havent said anything about the draing % being too high or not. I said that it is not true that the phone does nothing while being in standby. Which is a fact.
Mine is draining around 12-15% overnight.
Very disappointed with the battery life of s10e
Any tweaks we can do?

I use Bixby Routines to automatically turn airplane mode on during the time I'm asleep and it went from draining 15% to only 5%.
I just updated to the latest update ASCA, battery drain issue seems to be fixed. It drops less than 1% per hour now. (5% over 6 hours)

ASCA? Is your phone with Verizon? How did you update? This battery drain is killing me too. The only positive is that it seems the battery drain is about the same while using the phone.

Mine is the international dual sim Exynos version. I just got an OTA update about 3 days ago. I was also having pretty bad standby battery drain. 15% in 8 hours. Last night it only dropped 4% in 8 hours, which is pretty amazing.

Thanks for the reply. I'm downloading it now. Hope it fixes mine. I know there are always bug when first launched. If things aren't straightened out within 6 months I'm going back to pixel once the 4 comes out.
I don't believe it helped. Still losing a good but while in standby with aod off

When it lost 4% in 8 hours, did you have AOD/wifi/data/bluetooth on?
I'm on the ASCA update, but still have terrible standby drain on my Exynos S10e (3%/h).

AOD: OFF
Wifi: OFF
Data: ON all the time
Bluetooth: sometimes on sometimes off, I don't notice significant drain when it's on.
I literally had significant better battery life from one day to the next without doing anything. However I have had most of the useless apps disabled since day one, (Facebook, Bixby, Samsung stuff, etc.) I also have wifi and bluetooth scanning off. It is ON by default
Edit:
You should also follow some of these settings
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/galaxy-s10-battery-optimisation-guide-t3911988
New firmware ASD5 is out, maybe this will fix some draining.
I found deep sleep solution.
My s10e exynos (april firmware) was able to sleep only 10% of time.
After fix it can sleep 95+% (CPU Spy)
8 hours = 5% battery.
Open file “system/build.prop”
write “wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=200”
save
reboot
fixed

Thank you. Deep sleep has increased to 50% from 5% on my device.
Hi, there
tablet : galaxy note pro p-901 / android 5.0.1 / 9500mAh battery
I've replaced the battery twice, but seems it still stayed on 2100mAh!
Could U pls tell me What should I do, now?
Cheers
Try clearing the system cache.
Discharge until auto shutdown.
Charge to 100%, repeat 2 more times.
Make sure your SOT reflect what the new battery capacity should be.
I did it several times, but doesn't fix the problem at all
Goddamn Galaxy note pro
Where do you check battery capacity?
My tablet is reporting too battery capacity as 2100mAh in phone info app for Samsung.
What is wrong here?
Sorry I'm off-subject but where did you find a battery?
Mine runs flat within 3 hours and although I got a S8 ultra I still love my Note pro
