So far, I've never had a phone handle standby so well. I will routinely leave my phone with 50 or 75% at night instead of plugging it in, and it will pretty much have that in the morning. Maybe it loses 1% per hour on standby?

Say exactly how much the phone loses overnight because I think I'm too much because about 8%. Where are you leaving the phone?

Dude, I swear, just by my posting the 5 star rating, my phone started hemorrhaging battery. From 10:30pm to 7:30am, I lost about 15%+ last night. Doing some looking around, it's my cell standby, and it now looks like my wifi calling setup isn't working. (I'm on Mint Sim, a T-Mobile MVNO). So I think that's the culprit. I'll keep investigating and you know. Dammit.

Now such problems,not drain so much overnight
Okay, I think I might have a fix. It's possible this is a placebo effect, but I executed these commands, and last night my phone only lost 12% over 8 hours (which I think is pretty good)
This requires you to have ADB running already. I won't get into that because you find instructions elsewhere.
* Run "adb devices" to make sure you can see yours
* Run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enabled". Hopefully the output is 1. I didn't check this before I did the next command
* Run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enable all"
* Now if you re-run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enabled", you should see 1. If you saw a 0 before, it should now be one.
From reading elsewhere, this is a way to enable the "doze" feature of Android. It's possible that for some of us, it got disabled along the way? Who knows. But so far, I've been impressed with my 2 days after running this.
Look what kind of apps are killing your battery during the night, i test the phone with the wifi active and i lost 3% during the night, the next day some how i lost 15% and i saw the bluemail app drain even with airplane mode
I've had my Moto G5 Plus loose 20% overnight and i have had it loose 5% overnight, it does what it wants.
With stock rom I had 2-3% per night, on Darkness Redefined it is 1-2%.
Bone stock I lose 2-3% overnight.. same as above.

I have experienced close to what you have described OP. I am on T-Mobile as well and had wifi calling enabled. The battery would barely last a day with very little actual use. I disabled wifi calling and my battery life increased dramatically.

It happened tonight, from 78% to 54 in airplane mode with wifi off.
It was google fault standing to battery graphic, I killed google and the problem was solved.
Usually in idle I loose 1-2% of battery in airplane mode with wifi off.
With airplane mode off and wifi on it's 5-6% in the worst case scenario.

It's alright, looses about 1.4% per hour when not plugged in over night. Might improve when more tasks are disabled. This is running without powersaving mode on.

I'm facing the exact situation, around 1.4% per hour when on standby.
Is it normal? I just came from a 3 year iPhone usage and was not used to this kind of battery consumption levels.

Personally, I think it could be better. All my android phones have been rooted and when I use and ASOP rom that is never (Android 7 or 8) they are usually really good at standby with Doze and all. Was getting about 0.3-0.8% percent on my MI MAX running Oreo ASOP rom.
I think that samsungs skin is quite heavy and it's got a lot of processes that are going on in the background that is preventing the phone to doze properly.
I mean I found a debloat list of 250 apps that can be disabled on the S8+ so...I feel that there are a few apps that could be disabled as well on the s9+ since the samsung experience 9 between s8+ and s9+ aren't that far off.

After I charged 100% it was closed with WiFi connection open. I checked the phone after 3h and a half and was 99% battery left. In this case under 0.33%/hour in idle

I was facing the same issues, but I disabled some options, mostly related with sensors usage and those who are always searching for WiFi, devices, etc.
Right now the consumption has improved a lot with all those disabled, and this is my consumption right now:

For me the big improve was to disable the Wi-Fi option to enable/disable automatically, disabled the look up of devices and awake the device with the palm.
It seems these settings are using the sensors and other services constantly, so they drain battery a lot.
Try to see if those make a change for you.
Also take in mind that battery life the first 3-4 days is horrible.

Same here, came from mate 10 pro, so battery is weak on samsung anyway i better carry powerbank with me instead on having half working OS from huawei.
Edited. Ok and here is my battery drain over 5 hours of idle. (Sorry, I don't sleep much)
Wasn't able to post screenshots in edited post
I don't have a SS because it didn't even have battery data yet. I got home last night. Set my S9+ up. I always start fresh. Go in manually and download apps, log in to sits, add PWs etc. Started set up, including latest TMO update at around 55% out of the box. Ended up at 28% when I went to bed. Set the phone down, 7 hours later it was at 27%. I hope that's a good sign of things to come!
I haven't charged mine at night so far to test standby drain at different battery levels (so no 100% cheating) and I'm averaging 0.4% / hour. SD845 model
Edit:
I have GPS high accuracy on, wifi always on, Google Assistant always on, and no always on display.
On both my Note 8 and S9+, i realized Google Play Services frequently consumes a lot of battery, even up to 30%. Then I tried to switch to Google Play Services Beta and ultimately it no longer eats. Worth trying

3% per 8 hours. (US unlocked s9+)
After giving the phone a few days to settle in, I charge it fully before bed, then let it sit for 9 hours. Only lost 5%. With AOD on, lost 11% after about 8 1/2 hours. By far the best standby performance I've ever seen on a phone.
I'm losing about 1% every 10 minutes! If I use the phone its about 1% every couple of minutes. The battery life on mine is ****e.
So, I have a Exynos variant of the S10E and I'm having mixed result with battery life:
If I use my phone a lot (and I mean a lot) for example when I'm traveling i get about 6 hours of SoT which is great with a 3.100mah battery and heavy usage.
However on a regular day the phone just seems to discharge itself when in standby mode and I don't even reach 3 hours of SoT.
My setup is simple: all apps are disabled when on standby except for WhatsApp, Telegram and some e-commerce stuff and in the Battery stats "Android OS" in on top of everything (except for screen).
Are you having the same issue? Did you manage to find the cause? Let's discuss it.
This solution was posted on the S10 forum and certainly helped me.
There's a bug that stops the phone from going into a deep sleep mode post making a call (audio/video) on apps like WhatsApp, Skype et al. The solution for the time being is to reboot the phone once before going to bed. I tried a lot of other things but had a ~2% hourly standby drain which reduced to <5% overnight after figuring out this solution. I have both WiFi and Bluetooth on at night.
You may try to play around with the battery saving tweaks in ONE UI but nothing worked as well as this has. Hopefully there'll be a more practical fix to this soon.
Cheers!
Hi! Thanks for your feedback.
I have my S10E scheduled to reboot every night but this doesn't seem to fix the issue and I also don't use whatsapp/telegram voice/video calls, so I don't think is is quite the issue.
There's probably something else preventing deep sleep, but I think that waiting for an update from Samsung will be my best bet

That's interesting. There are over two dozen people on the s10 page confirming this to have solved their drain.
For how many days have you had your device? Mine took a while to understand my usage pattern
I am currently getting over 5 hours SoT over 18-20 hours now, it was ~3 hours previously.
I'm having the same issue. No video calls and still losing ~2% per hour. Restart doesn't help.
Mine too, lost 3% in under an hour sitting in my pocket doing nothing. As usual the battery stats are not much use.

There's a bug with the proximity sensor. The phone gets turned on automatically in the pocket which might cause battery drain.
BTW putting the phone on battery saver (Medium power saving) mode stops battery drain. Until we get a fix from Samsung this seems like a worthy option.

Nope. It's not only when sitting in the pocket. Basically put it on a table and the battery will drain.
There's people on the S10 forum reporting a much better battery performance after a software update (ASC8) on the Exynos S10 / S10+ (see here or here) that should fix the drain issues. Do you know if they are rolling it out also for the S10e Exynos?

It seems ASC8 has been stopped, and they are releasing ASCA. For now it has only released for Germany firmwares. Let's see what's new in this update. Regards
Same issue
I have the same problem, when phone is in use it gets great SoT of around 6 hours, but when not in use throughout the day battery still drains very quickly. I was hoping the update will fix it , but even after updating, nothing changed. Hopefully there is a solution soon.
Seems like battery drain issue was fixed in the latest update ASCA. Mine was previously draining 15% overnight. Now it only drained 4% in 8 hours!! Which is pretty amazing.
Anyone have the Hong Kong model G9700? I've noticed standby drain is quite high.
I have German ASCA version, but battery is draining awfully. I use both SIM cards and loose 25 percent half a day being in standby-mode.

Expected at least 5 hours of SOT from a phone at this price point. This is bad. Even with the second sim turned off, battery drains heavily.

I was also having pretty bad battery drain, 15% overnight. But after the ASCA update I'm getting about 5% overnight, maybe it's just my phone?
Used this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/galaxy-s10-battery-optimisation-guide-t3911988
After i made the tweaks the standby is decent compared to my OP6
I disabled bixby on the Maine screen 4 hours ago and I do have a feeling my battery od much better. Will see...
ASDA update seems to help with drainage for me.
Using 970U1 TMB version. Attached is typical usage for me last few days. I get another 6-8 hours sot average by 15% or so and about ~5% overnight drain

I recently got a Mi 10 Lite and the battery seems to drain about 20% every night which seems very excessive to me. Last night for example it was on 71% when I went to sleep at 12 am and woke up 7 hours later to see it on 50%. I installed Battery Guru to help give more insight as I don't think MIUI's battery stats are the most accurate and it seems Xiaomi's security center is sitting at the top with 72% battery usage. This seems very high to me.
I do have a pi hole server on my network so is it possible that something on my phone is trying to phone home and can't get through?
The only thing that is on at night is wifi - GPS, bluetooth even 5G is off.
Has anyone experienced this on their device? I know I can try a Xiaomi.eu rom but I wanted to keep things as stock as possible for sometime.
I am wondering what else I can try?

I updated mine to Global 12.0.3 last week and mine seems to be losing a lot of battery overnight. Sync is turned off and there's minimal apps on my phone anyway. Mine seem to lose 20-30% overnight and it didn't before i updated.
Mine has lost 9% since it turned on at 7am this morning - so 8 1/2 hours. I'll leave it on overnight tonight, but your loss does seem excessive. I'm also on 12.0.3 Global.
Did a bit of an experiment last night. Put my phone on airplane mode and then turned WiFi back on. My phone only lost 2% battery during 8 hours overnight. I understand the cell radio uses a fair bit of battery but I wouldn't have thought 20% in 8 hours overnight in standby.
Is it possibly my sim card that might need updating, it is 4 or 5 years old? Unless it's just MIUI12 that doesn't play well with certain radios? Either way it definitely seems to be a radio issue.
I have noticed that when it's in standby for a long time with the cell on the MIUI Security Center jumps to the top of the battery list with a very high percentage of battery usage. Every time. Not sure what that would be.
Very frustrating. Maybe I should try a hard reset.
Mine has lost 30% in 36 hours, everything turned on except 5G as I'm nowhere near a 5G signal. Which seems about right for my normal usage.

MIUI 12 was released within a few days of me getting the handset - I don't remember doing a hard reset, but it is possible. Definitely didn't after the newest update to 12.0.3 though.

I can't believe that such a perfect watch is let down by such a terrible battery situation. Dies in 20hrs if you use all the bells and whistles (an hour of lte on standby, streaming Spotify on lte to a bt headset, an hour of fitness activity) and then regular usage with connection to phone over bt, no aod and raise to wake.
20 hours if I'm lucky....end up having to charge a couple times a day. I'm alright doing this....but......
The charging time...geez, 2 hours for full charge is ridiculous. Give me a wired charging setup which takes half the time, I'd be happier.
Unfortunately, I love the watch too much....and a daily price I'll be paying for it. Hope they'll fix this $h1t with better software.
Here the same in Indian Version Galaxy watch 4 LTE Classic. I love the watch but terrible battery life. I don't know why they are
giving these many features and a little battery. The battery wont last for going thru all the features. Sleep tracking also eating
my battery a lot. One night it consumes more than 15% for sleep tracking. Now I am using the LTE always OFF. This gives a
little battery more. Watch is having these many features and always I have to OFF all the features. What is the point in giving
this much money.
Dreamtheater, what version of watch do you have? Is it a LTE version? I'm always curious about these posts about poor battery time. I have the classic 46 mm and it is rare that a charge lasts less than 2 days. The only time I have less than 2 days is when I'm using GPS frequently. I'm probably doing a workout every other day and I have all functionality on. I typically walk 5,000 - 7,000 steps a day. Using bedtime mode when I sleep (blood oxygen off). I only use bluetooth for conectivity.

Analysing what's eating up most of my battery life - it's Spotify, took down a whopping 18% bite out of it....a 1 hour run on LTE with music streaming to my bt headphones...
I wish it would have been less power hungry....will try YouTube music with offline downloads and try
It's been giving me a decent battery life, with continuous heart rate detection on and AOD off.

It's been giving me a decent battery life, with continuous heart rate detection on and AOD off.

*Sigh* Coming from my Gear S3, with which I get a solid 3+ days of battery life, I find it positively depressing that this is considered 'decent' battery life now...

Analysing what's eating up most of my battery life - it's Spotify, took down a whopping 18% bite out of it....a 1 hour run on LTE with music streaming to my bt headphones...
I wish it would have been less power hungry....will try YouTube music with offline downloads and try

I'm on my 4th power cycle, have the watch for few days
I can confirm Spotify defiantly drains the battery even when noting is playing.
I was listening to Spotify yesterday evening before charging the watch, after the watch reach 100% I've put it on my wrist and went to sleep with sleep tracking and no playing music.
when I woke up I saw the big drain during the night about 22% - thought it was the sleep tracking so I've open the battery stats just to found that Spotify drain my battery by 5% during the night just by running in the background on the watch - very annoying.
all the time I need to close background apps so noting drain the battery while not in use.
Regardless, for battery optimization I can add that the NFC for unknown reason make the hourly drain harder
(3% per hour.. while it's not even logged in the battery stats)
for reference I've got the 42mm BT only classic model
and my wife has the 40mm regular BT only model.
her watch drained slower and that is way I've notice the NFC drain mentioned -
on my watch it was ON and on her watch it was OFF and her watch lost only 1% per hour while watch is on the wrist but not in use and mine lost 3-4% per hour... after I've turned it OFF the hourly drain went down.
my watch last about 24 hours (no AOD, no WIFI, no NFC, no GPS, few notification, no workouts, about two hours of Spotify listening)
I really hope Samsung and Google are working hard on battery optimization,
and with additional third party apps optimization we will soon see better battery life overall.
I can live with two days - two days of battery would be great.
(my previous watch was Garmin not so smartwatch but at least the battery last 10 days with no sweat)

Fair enough...
Otro totalmente decepcionado. Para qué sirve este reloj si lo tengo que llevar todo apagado para que me dure la batería un día? El mío es 46mm LTE. Me gustaba más mi watch 1 que me duraba la batería 5 días.
In all the watches and fitness bands I always had to make a battery downgrade which is really frustrating. I started with a Miband which had two weeks battery but it wasn't a full fledged smartwatch but fullfilled my needs. Then I had a Vector which had like one month of battery life (eInk, no GPS, no Touch) I just needed it for notifications and weather. Then fitbit bought vector which was then bought by google and the watch apps slowly died.
Then I got my first "full fledged" smartwatch with the Galaxy Watch 1 which had around a week of battery life (BT Version 46mm) And now I am down to two days MAX. It's really really sad because like all the other posters here, I love the watch.
I know how you feel, which is why I hesitate to upgrade from my Gear S3, BUT, to be fair, that's still more than double the battery life of the world's most popular line of smartwatches - just sayin'...
Alright, looks like i figured what was killing my battery - it's spotify with streamed music over LTE! and allowing spotify to live in the background (need to force stop spotify when you're done using it!)
attached images - 5pm to 7pm > 74% to 26% with just spotify on lte!
Otherwise looks like it hits the 40hrs estimate
I haven't read every post in this thread, but overall I'm pretty satisfied with my LTE GW4. Coming from a Watch Active 2 (non-LTE) where I took it off the charger at 6:30am and put it on again at 11pm and still had 40-50% battery left, I'm seeing the almost exactly the same battery life on my LTE GW4 with the same average use. I rarely use LTE, and in fact only just learned after a while that it wasn't even properly linked to my account. Walked to another building today for lunch at work and forgot my phone and the watch finally jumped to LTE on its own and showed a VOLTE icon while away from my phone. It was like that for at least an hour and FINALLY no overheating or "Emergency Calls Only". Battery didn't take much of a hit since I'm at 55% right now at about 6:45pm.
Slowly turning on features back on and seeing how it affects battery life. I'm happy that having continuous heart rate monitoring has minimal impact on battery life! Sleep tracking (no spo2), continuous HR tracking, 10hrs overnight and at 85% battery - impressive!
What about this setting?
Does this hint with Media Cotnrol work for anybody? I put Show media controls to Off (the same when set via Wearable app, also did several restarts to be sure), however watch activates media controls immediately once Youtube is launched on phone... - seems like a bug to me

i thought that was just me , glad I'm not alone on this . also read some are experiencing bluetooth issues aswell
Mine's not too bad but then I have a choke-chain on it so to speak. #1 thing imo is to restrict google gms and use aggressive doze settings, allowing the occasional 'maintenance' sync thru wifi (set to turn off at screen-off). Naptime may be oldish but he keeps it working...esp his magisk module for dozing google! BetterBatteryStat has now been updated for A13 and more! Battery Guru is also a gem. If ur not rooted, u still have adb perms for BG and BBS to help. I also don't have much of any 5G connectivity so I changed network pref. to 4G/LTE.

I'm not rooted.
How would BBS or BG help with the draining?
And is Naptime effective without root?
BBS doesn't 'do' much but it's a great tool to see what's using batt., how much and when...incl. details of any wake-locks that may be keeping your phone from entering/staying in dozie/deep sleep. It can give you percentages starting at boot, unplug, last full charge (variable) and almost anything u could want. With ADB perms., you don't miss out on much vs. root. BG is just a good all-round battery app. that can also keep charge session stats and set an alarm for what min/max charge levels but can't actually stop charging...just an alarm so u can keep from maxing to 100% every time...extends batt. longevity big time. I'll try n find some good links that explain the dynamics muuch better than I can...
I'm happy with battery stats. I use Battery Guru to check, but it usually reports 15-30 minutes extra SOT than system settings. Either is very good. Stock with no root, still December. Last few SOTs:
010623 10h 18m 100 to 10
010723 11h 35m 100 to 8
010923 11h 10m 100 to 8
011123 10h 57m 100 to 0
011323 10h 53m 100 to 10
011423 11h 56m 100 to 10
011823 10h 28m 100 to 7

is it safe to let the battery get so low before charging ? i thought it shouldn't go below 20% or is that a bit of a myth
I've gone from 100 to 10 with my 4a and 6a since day 1. I've never noticed battery depletion other than an oddball app hit.

In terms of longevity of the battery itself (battery health), as opposed to battery drain, many people think that not letting your battery get below 20% and not charging above 80% is the way to go. Also, frequent, shorter charges are better than longer charges for the battery health, according to many of these same people.
The way I charge depends on how long I intend to keep the phone. I usually shoot for a once every 2 year update cycle. Since I'm not a super heavy phone user and don't plan to keep phones more than 2 yrs...I've adopted a 90% max and 15% min charge strategy. Heavy users or those planning to keep their phone like 3 or 4yrs may want to stick to 80%/20% or somewhere in between.
Here is a great write-up on best charging practices.
How to maximize battery life: Charging habits and other tips
If you've ever wondered what the best way to charge your battery is, here are some scientifically proven tips for maximizing battery life.
www.androidauthority.com
slightly off topic again but following the battery care theme .. car ( lithium ) batteries .. 20-80% to prolong their life span ( How to get the most out of your electric car battery article ) , so i suppose the same principle applies across the board .
thanks everyone , who says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks
Could battery saver Itself be the issue? I received the update and do not have any battery issues or idle drain..
Battery saver is off - how ironic
Not sure, I have the battery saver on and DO have the drainage issue.
I got it in the UK , unlocked global , and a list of updates from Google January updated models. Nothing about battery fix / issues ..

Mine still has not seen the Jan update. At this point, with the Feb update coming out early, the 6a might just skip Jan entirely.
Link seems to imply its mostly just the 5g drain issue thats been around since release. Sometimes blamed on the type of modem google is using or the software around it.
My 5g stays off unless if i'm signal searching. With it on the phone seems to try too hard to connect to iffy 5g instead of going with a stable LTE.
I actually turned 5G off, unless I'm going to be streaming.
CAn't be since mine's on Wifi most of the time and I have the drain
