Doze not working - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi,
Ever since updating to the July update my battery has suffered. I reset my phone and I am still facing issues. My phone does not sleep on WiFi and hardly does on 3/4G. Cell standy is now on top of the list, and I only have 20 mins SOT.
Does anyone know why, or what I can do?
Thanks in advance.

Well firstly you need to restart your phone after every time you charge it, if you don't, since it's a known issue after the last update I think.
Secondly, I would advice you to download "GSAM battery monitor" and see if doze works and when. For me, doze kicks in about 1 hour after I leave my phone alone. It won't go into doze if its moving and some say it won't go either if it detects movement.

In almost 12.5 hours you've used 21% of your battery and your phone estimates that you've got 27 hours of battery left.... and you're complaining?! "Cell Standby" has used less than 5% of your battery in almost 12.5 hours, that's not bad at all.

Ya reboot your phone theres a bug somewhere and it likes to drain the battery fast.
I did reboot yesterday cause it was totally drained. I am going to reboot again and fully charged and see what happened tomorrow evening.
I thought the "Battery Use" thing would tell me lots of thing and it did not.

As in it drain like if you had it on and had this bug?
At that time, my phone was draining very fast, during the night (flight mode), lost 20-30% and when powered off for some hours (5-5 hours) it lost about 15%. Now when in flight mode during the night, i loose max 1 %

Now I put Viber back and see if it drain. I will reply back tomorrow.
Anyone have this problem with this 2 app? I need a VOIP that doesnt drain the battery.
I have viber installed, no problem with it.

Accurate battery life?

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...

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.

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.

[Q] Suddenly high drainage when screen is off.

Hi
I few days ago, I posted at 13 hours standby, 7 hours SOT photo which was great, as I had used the phone at full brightness 1-2 hours and a lot of music playing.
But suddenly, I only hit 4 hours, with 14 hours standby time.
Normally I get 4-5% drainage when screen is off over a whole day (GSM battery monitor), but today I got 29% drainage from screen off.
I have not installed any new apps. Any idea what this else could be? My cell signal is almost always 3-4/5
Thanks in advance
I have experienced the same thing at least twice!
I think it might possibly have something to do with having used WiFi tethering and turning it off. Only reason I think that might be the issue, is it was something I did both times. To be clear the abnormally high battery usage was not when the tethering was on but after I turned it off..
Try restarting your phone and see if this helps.
Japultra, it did for me both times . Avoiding tethering has also worked

I noticed that restarting the phone helped too. I was experiencing high drain on idle and restarted my phone and turned off LTE and assumed that turning off LTE had increased my battery, but after leaving LTE on and not experiencing high battery drain, I believe it was the reboot that suddenly upped my battery life again. I'm not sure why this happened, as it doesn't anymore - I haven't restarted my phone in several days. I don't know why it doesn't happen anymore as I haven't really changed anything I can think of that would do this, but I'm getting GREAT battery life now from the phone.
Samsung said the android it self, especially 5.0.2, is the main reason or most of those problems and that 5.1.1 will fix most of those.
We just have to wait
Like this? Can someone fix this without uninstall the app?

Turned off mobile data, my Z5c still drains a decent amount of battery overnight

http://imgur.com/X9PYY3Y
I took a screenshot of the drain. It was at 91% when I set it off and put it down for the night. When I woke up from my sleep around 7 hours later, it was at 86%. With mobile data I've been getting much more drain than that, like around 12%. I thought turning off mobile data would solve it, but something still seems to be draining it. What else could be the problem?
I have the same situation on MM, 1% drop per hour minimum. tried turn off data, set only HDSPA, currently installed wakelock detector and greenify i will keep monitoring.
I dont have any batt drops in LP, almost always 1-2% per night.
I tried flash stock .163 and now .185 for UE1 and for germany (im from poland) so roms are for my region. Clean install, dirty install, LB and UB, now rooted, the same situation.
For me battery life on MM sucks :crying:

MM battery was okay for me for a bit it seemed, but then the battery drain seemed to jump up a bit. On LP I was bit hard by the "mobile radio active" bug, and it's still getting me on LP, even back on my Z3c, ugh, it's really frustrating. Mobile radio still shows up for me a lot in MM too, I don't know, that part seems like a google/google play services problem, but this other battery draining that's happening, I'm not too sure, and looking at battery system stats, or using another app such as gsam battery monitor, I haven't been able to deduce anything, but if you see anything, please update us.

Here is mine ss, if You can help
I unplug charger at 00:19 with 99% battery, in morning aroun 5AM i have 93%
I don't have any screenshots but I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks (running stock MM), my battery is draining much quicker than expected. I use Tasker to control wifi / sync / other stuff but don't have it running like the old Ultra Stamina but my battery will now drain in 12 hours of normal use (not playing games, watching movies). Looking at GSam battery monitor, the phone radio is draining quite a bit and at no point has the phone entered deep sleep.
Annoying as I used to easily get 36 hours between charges.
since i upgraded to Android 6.0 I lose 1% per minute when the screen is on and I go from 100% to 0% in approx. 8 hours, compared to 1 day+ before.
Same for me :c since the update got less than 3 hour SOT , doze does not help me as i have my phone on my hands or pocket most of the time, it never activates
and i saw the 1% bat drain per minute or so while im on chrome ( i just use crhome, nor videos nor games, no facebook apps installed)

Even with doze, it doesn't work that well, cuz my battery still drained turning off network. Although, last night, I turned on airplane mode, and it drained less, only 3%, but I still feel like there's something going on in the background that makes it drain so dang much.
I almost haven't used my phone since full charge and see: Screen usage is very high, as soon as I turn on, it drops by 1% per minute. I haven't changed anything since MM update and before that I could (heavy) use my phone for 1day+.
I bought this phone cause I couldn't use my LG G2 for a full day anymore, and now I can't even use this new one for half day....

I fixed my battery extremely fast draining by uninstalling Facebook Messenger, now I'm back to 1 day and half estimated use. What happened with this app ? It wasn't battery consuming with Lollipop.

Standby drain

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?

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?

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

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”

reboot
