If you want to check your battery swipe down from the watchface. From there it shows the battery life, network status, a shortcut for the music app, a do not disturb mode, and you can access the brightness.
Thanks leaning something new everyday with this

I find an anamoly here. When u turn on the battery saver when yr messenger status is offline,it seems to drain.
But when i turn back the messenger to online and use battery saver, the battery holds better.
Is there any hidden process going on in a loop which can drain the battery?
Maybe battery saver is trying to turn off messenger but couldn't so a process is looping endlessly?
Hey guys so I know there are a few things that can improve battery life and some things that are supposed to help but may be a mith? Things as only draining battery to 10% and charging to 90% or something like this. What are tips that help? Also if you guys have changed your cpu settings that really improved the battery life let us know!
I drained my battery down to 0% after the second time I used it and it pushed my battery up from 3:30 to 5:30. I also use batterybar to see the stats and whatnot. Another thing you can do is go into power options in the Control Panel and change the plan settings > advance power settings. I usually change the Processor power management settings and the Intel Graphics Settings.

do you ever charge it to 100%
Does leaving it on the charger like when playing a game or something matter? Does it stop charging once it reaches 100
AFAIK, leaving it on the charger shouldn't matter. It's a smart charger. I always charge it to 100%, but never go lower than 10%. I try to recharge around 15%.
Best thing I've done is disable my bluetooth since I have no devices that use it.
Second is lower the brightness while on battery.
I'm getting around 5:30 of battery life doing things like browsing, email, news reading, and using Autodesk Sketchbook Design.
Disable automatic brightness. Change the screen timeout to the lowest value that works for you. Turn off BT. Turn off live tiles and notifications for apps you don't need to update on your main screen and lock screen. Run the troubleshooter for power and see if you can deal with what it changes.
Good Day Guys
As you all know, when we turn on the battery saver option, it would be turned off automatically when your device is charging. And we have to turn it on again. How can we just get it on all the time or if there is any alternative to this. Thanks
hebf optimizer
works for that and also can disable google services from running while the screen is off which was a big battery drainer for me.

I have downloaded that. But when I enable Improve battery, it does not turn on battery saver in the settings. Does this means it uses different method of battery saver from the dafault ones?
I have had a battery drain for several weeks now. It isn't to severe but the biggest issue bothering me the most is at night it is draining about 5-6% even with battery saver turned on. It used to be that in normal mode, the battery would only drop 2-3% over night. I do not charge at night.
I am fully updated and I even reset the phone to factory 2 days ago and the issue still persists. Nothing seems to stand out in the battery stats with regards to apps sucking battery %. So I think this is an issue where it is not going into Doze or Deep Doze but I dont know how to determine that.
Any suggestions how to find the problem?
(on android 10)
When you wake up in the morning...
Go into "Settings"
Then "Battery"
Then click the top right three dots
Then select "Battery Usage"
It should show you which apps used the most battery during the night.

I have done that. No apps appear to be doing anything unusual. There are no battery hogs showing up. Not even excessive google services usage or anything. That is why I think this may be a situation where it isn't going into doze or deep doze like it used to but I dont know how to check or monitor that. that info doesn't show in battery stats.
I never heard of this doze/deep doze mode - where did you see this?
I ask because I typically get 10% loss overnight with what I thought was very good because the pixel often then calculates I have 2 days of remaining battery life with that stat.

You can google it as there are tons of articles about it but here is some insight into it from the developer side: https://bignerdranch.com/blog/diving-into-doze-mode-for-developers/
OK, so it says in order to go into deep-doze, the phone:
1) Must not be charging
2) The screen is off
3) The phone is not moving
So, during the night, are all three of these conditions met?
Also, the device will come out of deep-doze if an incoming push notification is received - could one of your apps be receiving push notifications during the night?
Also, "Any process using a foreground service is exempt from Doze Mode effects, which is key for long-running applications"...do you possibly have any apps that have a foreground service?
Have you tried to switch off Bluetooth, it has a huge impact on battery even if not in use.
I've used apps before. Can't remember but gsam might be one...
It's possible to identify apps that are holding wake locks. That's the first place to check for battery drain.

I always keep WiFi, bluetooth, NFC and location off.

all the apps I can find to track wake locks seem to need ROOT. I'd rather not do that as then I lose OTA updates.
After some extreme disabling of user app, system apps, services, etc. I finally got back to 3% battery drop overnight. I'm not sure which one was the culprit yet but i'll start enabling things as I need them and keep monitoring.
I'm having heavy battery drain. I already charged to 100 and less to 30 minutes i lost 10%.
It began since last update on my case.
After you see a big drain, DON'T plug in and...
Go into "Settings"
Then "Battery"
Then click the top right three dots
Then select "Battery Usage"
It should show you which apps are to blame for the drain.

Gsam needs permissions but these can be set with USB debugging, no root needed.
So one thing I have learned is that it appears every time I reboot, gsam thinks my wifi is on even though I have it off. If i turn it on and then back off. Gsam now says wifi is off.
So i got through the night at 3% battery drain but now I am realizing that my phone will not go into deep sleep during the day. Any suggestions how to fix that?
According to the details in the link posted earlier, it will never go into deep sleep if the phone is moving.

I leave my phone sitting on a desk all day. There has to be some Android services that only operate during the day but i can't dtermine what those might be.

Was gsam able to identify which app was holding a wake lock?
Or maybe triggering frequent wakeups?
Both of those would prevent doze...
Battery Guru is good for chasing drains (with ADBs), add BBS + adbs and you can find anything using them together!

Google play services mostly. There was a large amount from "Adaptive connectiviy" but when I disabled that those went away.
OneUI built-in Device Care app doesn't show full details of what is draining battery. It fortunately shows the Screen ON Time (SOT) though.
My phone's battery drains badly on standby. It drains anywhere between 1.5% to 2% per hour on standby if I leave all radios ON. If I turn OFF WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, Location, etc. then the battery drain reduces to 0.5% per hour. There is no unusual drain when I'm using the phone. If I'm continuously using the phone, I can get 6 to 7 hours SOT.
The built-in battery stats doesn't provide full information on what is draining battery, and how much. For example, it doesn't show system functions like Android System, Android OS, Display, Wakelocks, etc. It only shows 3rd party apps installed.
If I add the % consumption of each app shown in the list, it won't even add up to 50% of actual consumption. If you see the attachment, the sum of the individual consumption adds up to about 20% only. My battery is at 59%. So I have no idea about what used the remaining 21% (standby drain).
Assuming that all details are available in the system, is there an app that can simply read this info and show it on screen? I don't want battery 'monitor' apps that run in the background.
I'm interested to know if there is an app that would simply read this information and display it when launched, and won't run in the background when closed.
Thanks.
Gsam battery monitor, better battery stats or Battery guru. But i think that they all need to keep a background service, which doesn't cause any noticeable battery drain though

I seriously doubt this. It is just that they don't show up in the stats.
From my experience, there was no difference in idle drain battery usage with and without any of these apps. Checked for some days, not only a few hours.
