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.

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.
On my G3, when I fully charge the phone, it would stay at 100% for a VERY long time before dropping down to 99%. The most I've gotten out of the 1% before was about 25 minutes of SoT.
On my S6, once the phone is fully charged, it seems to drop to 99% very quickly, within just a couple minutes of using the device.
What causes this difference between the two models and does your S6 act the same way as mine?
So far my GF and I notice the battery drops quickly also.

Battery is terrible!!! Drains at about 10% per hour.. And I'm on the latest available stock rom.

That's pretty damn good if it do so. That's 10 hour SOT.
I can barely get 4 hours SOT.
Battery life is good for me.
19hrs since last charge, 52% power remaining. Screen on time of 1h 15min.

Yes but look at the great standby time.
Genetic is inline to get around 2-3hrs SOT with almost 40hrs Standby thats not too bad actually
But on screen time ia surely more important

Sure SOT is important but it depends on your standby too. Example 6hrs SOT with 8hrs Standby is kinda expected and normal. If you can get 6hrs SOT with 24hrs Standby the that is mightly impressive.
True but 19 hrs standby and 1 30 on screen is awful. That means you picked up the phone and drained it half way in an hour and a bit

Im not sure you get how it works bud.
That 1.5hrs SOT was not achieved in one continous sitting.
If you read my previous post i explained that you can get 6hrs SOT with the S6 easy but your standby will be short say around 8hrs. If you watch videos no stop on the S6 you could probably get 7-8hrs SOT before the battery is flat. This is normal for the S6.
Basically: Long SOT = shorter standby
Long standby = shorter SOT
The Holy Grail is Long Standby + Long SOT
EDIT: Im only referring to the S6 in my asaumption. There are flagships out that can get long standby and long SOT already out there namely Note4 and Mate7.
I have pretty terrible standby time though. An all nighter drained 10% but if i use the phone continuously i could get 4hrs of sot lol
Brightness was on auto

I get about a day standby with between 4-5 SOT.
Overnight drain is around 3-4%, I normally sleep around 7hrs a night.
I'm using XtreStoLite seriously debloated ROM, Ktoonsez 920F Kernel.
Also using App Ops and Disable Service to kill Google Play Services wakelocks.
Hope this helps you get better battery life bud.
Playing music through streaming music app Simfy, doesn't require the screen to stay on.
SOT isn't the only way to gauge a battery's performance.
Haha you guys took this thread pretty off-topic. My question was more related to the actual way your battery drains vs battery life.

Apologies OP didn't mean to derail tour thread.
Hmm i wouldnt want to root and unlock yet. Im gonna give it at least a month or two because the rattling home button is quite a concern to me. Even though its not really that bad
Man I must be lucky cause battery life for me looks REALLY good, especially considering the small capacity and the 2k display. Last night I fell asleep in front of the TV with my phone at 20%, woke up this morning and it was still at 20%. It's sipping battery nicely. I'm happy!
Edit: I'm all stock using the G920i. My brightness is controlled manually indoors, automatically outdoors.

I noticed the same thing with my S6 the first night I got it. It came with 50% battery and after an update and me playing around with it a bit I went off to bed at about 23%. The next morning I woke up and it was at 22%. I consider that to be exceptional considering nothing was disabled and it wasn't even on its first charge.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to fully set up my S6 due to exams so it's been sitting on my desk looking pretty. I'm still using my S5 for the time being and plan to fully switch over to the S6 in the next few days!

The battery on my edge seems to drop 1% every hour.
Hi, I just got my U11 and using it for 5 days now. I notice that when I leave the phone at night, the phone lost battery around 10% everyday. From the battery stats, it said Cell standby is the most hungry one. Anybody found this issue?
I noticed it too, 40% battery usage was cell standby... ?
I'm seeing this too but I still get over 30 hours with up to 5 hours sot.
Guess cell standby is not draining battery, the rest just uses so little that this comes out on top.
Computed power use was 400+ mAh...
So what? I get 40 hours uptime and 7 hours SOT. The mAh reading is an estimation.
I also get standby or time without signal drain occasionally. running an unlocked sprint version on metropcs. hopefully htc releases some better radios in the near future.
Similar battery drain here for cell standby.
I'm on 1.27 stock rom.
Dual SIM with two SIM card active.
Any workaround?
Me absolutely same.. One screenshoot is on wifi second on mobile data.. Stock rooted ROM but same on unrooted
Someone has tried with Oreo firmware? Same drain?
Hi,
I have 4 - 5 LTE signal. When I sleep, cell standby drained the battery.
On Battery: 16 hours with Wifi.
Cell Standby %21,6 - I don't know why.
Phone idle should be drain more than cell standby. Am I wrong? Is it bug? Has anyone faced this issue?
This happens to me only when connected to wifi. Doesn't matter to me, as the total battery life still exceeds a day with 5-6 hours SoT.

Perhaps it is a bug. I was just wondering "Am I the only one facing this issue?" Thanks for answer.:good:
A lot of users have complains about this.
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

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”
