Its my first LG phone and it doesnt seem good to me at all. I wonder if the company will push an update to fix this before Oreo. What about you guys? What is your view on this? Have you faced battery drain? Kindly write your heart out and let others know.
Solutions n fixes would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
Wipe your phone. If still drain, then send back to lg. If not then must be one of your apps

Wipe my phone? Its just been 15 days since I got this man. And its surely not any of my apps cause I installed more than 4 types of battery usage apps found that all the apps are using normal percentages. A lot of other users are facing the same battery drain and its really annoying to charge the phone almost 3 times per day.
I was told by many that LG provides monthly updates to fix issues so I am waiting for the end of this month. If it still doesnt fixes the issue, then I am selling this **** asap for sure!
A lot of users? Yeah right
I've seen enough people who think they know what they are doing but just being xxxxxxx

Remove sim 2 from slot. It keeps searching for network even when the sim is disabled. I also felt a lot of battery drain with two sims inserted. However the jio sim was turned off, the device seems to searching for signal. One day I removed the second sim from slot 2 , now the battery backup was bavk to normal.
Same
Same as mine. My lg q6 drains 10% every 30 minutes. I bought it 1 month ago and yess i hope lg could fix this drain problem. Im very relaxed its not only my phone with draining problems.
Maybe you've already done this, but just in case...
I manage to extend my Q6 battery life by disabling Wi-Fi scanning in Location setting.
battery drain of lg q6
it is very horrible performance in terms of battery life......i bought this mobile just a week ago.....hope lg will rectify the battery problem soon by pushing a software update

even it is a mobile priced at 15k i thought the battery life will also b good......but sad to c that even if the battery capacity is 3000mah that should last more than one day for a 5.5 inch screen, it was really annoying......dont know why lg designed like this

i shocked using this device for a day now. battery is not good enough, even with light use like browsing using opera mini the battery just dropped 1% every 5 minutes. i know using 5.5 inch with FHD+ and obsolete 28nm chipset the culprit of this but i think LG still need to optimize the software. and btw i got new updates (august version), how about this new update guys? better battery backup or mybe something like nightmare?
Try to update the software up to the last version. My battery is reduced 10% in 1 hour to open social network application
Solution for draining the battery lg q6
I am suffering from the same problem of draining the battery, some tips here in this forum helped me a little more it is drained even without any use in the average of 8 or 7 hours without wanting to light the screen.
I have found that the problem is at the minimum CPU clock of this device, always remaining at 58% to 42% CPU usage depending on the battery level.
In my opinion to solve the drainage in this device will have to manipulate the minimum clock of the CPU nucloes.
In time of use, games, direct-to-battery movies is good but by letting it rest, it continues to consume a high battery level due to the CPU's minimum clock.
We need root access for CPU clock manipulation, but LG does not allow the bootloader to be unlocked for this model, which makes it impossible to obtain root access.
If a happy human has gained root access on this device, share your procedure here.
sorry about my English
Yeah, i can feel you. The same with me. I liked the display and compactness very much but due to low battery, now i am again hunting for another phone. sad

Hey... I have been facing the similar issue as well... Just by switching off the location , i found huge difference in the battery drain.. It's much more better than with the location turned on.. Probably u guys should check this too.. Previously the battery drain without using the phone (mostly bed time) was more than 25%.. but now it reduced to 5 to 10%, just by turning the location off...
Let me know if it works..
Recent update again ruined the battery life

Battery drain issue and ram management was made OK after an update. But after doing the update which recently popped up on around Feb 15 the battery life is again completely ruined. Hope they will clear it by next update.
I was expecting a higher drain since i use dual sim and this phone has 3G on second sim, but i think it is too much. On mon-fri i get about 3:15hs of screen time on a battery charge, much less than my previous phones, between 4-4:30hs.
Are you using dual sim or single sim?

Yesterday a post was made to /r/nexus5 on reddit about how battery life was getting worse as time went on. Over 100 people replied saying that their phone was getting worse battery life as well. Here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1yxj2g/battery_life_went_from_insane_to_terrible/ The most people were able to find out was that there was a problem with the Android OS process. Are you guys having similar issues? And do you have any fixes?
Batteries do lose their max charge over time. We're now 6 months aged for the first purchased devices, so it could simply be those batteries are starting to age. They still have years to go, but a brand new battery will always be impressive.
It's one reason why I silently laugh at people bragging about great battery life for a brand new device. of course it will get good life, it's a new battery running optimized software that isn't pushing the hardware as hard as the software 2 years into a device life cycle.
posted by people that know nothing..
as time goes on, you install more and more apps. many apps arent coded very well, and have other issues. anyways, people get more and more of these crappy apps that will drain more and more battery without you even using them. anywho, not a problem here. i get pretty much the exact same battery life now as i did months ago.

great battery life for an "old" device, 5-6 hours screen on time every single day. the batteries life doesnt reduce that quick, and generally youll change phones(within 2 years) before you see the life of your battery shorten.

6 months isn't going to be noticeably less max charge unless the battery was severely abused. Also the phone has been out for 4 months and most are younger.
Here's something to think about: Usage patterns change. People install new apps.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Indeed usage patterns play a massive part. And some of which can be completely out of your control.
At home on WiFi I'll get 6-7 hours of screen time.
At home on hspa I'll get 5-6
At work on hspa I'll get 3-4
So at worst case scenario I can lose half of my normal battery usage just based on the carrier performance.

I get about 3-4 hours SoT daily... If anything, that has gone up since I got my device (one of the first batches shipped in US).
I wish I could get 5-7 SoT, with numbers like that, I'm beginning to think I'm doing something very very wrong
Point is... I have one of the first phones shipped out, and my battery life has stayed exactly the same.
High battery usage by Android OS is probably good indication that there are some wakelocks. It has nothing to do with battery being "older".
My battery is great from day one.
Captain obvious mode now:
Posting SoT is pointless and proves nothing. It really depends on what you are doing when screen is on. It is really obvious that it is not the same if you read some book with 5% brightness or play a game.
My SoTs go from 2h up to 7h, depending on usage...

LOL. Yep. Give me a day and I'll show you screenies of ten hours of SOT. It'll be BS because to get those results I have to set my phones brightness to less than stock. I also have to set screen timeout to 30 minutes. As well I need to remember to turn the damn screen back on after 30 minutes. I also have to make sure my phone is in my sock drawer doing nothing when the screen is on. It'll still show 10 hours SOT though.

Yeah, the common problem.... My battery just is used for 5 hours.
But there are some fixs to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168036
I posted my usual screen times on a typical day for me.
Typically I do the same things which are a lot of xda and viewing the verge and YouTube. A few calls and texts.
And from my experience the difference between being at home with WiFi off and being at work with WiFi off is that my battery usually lasts nearly twice as long at home.
I was trying to get across the message that your carriers signal strength plays a massive role on how long your battery lasts.
So say if a mast went down and you get bumped onto one a bit further away (they don't rush when fixing these things unless it's a critical one). You would have done nothing and all of a sudden your battery life has started taking a massive hit.

I'm also having this problem with the android os draining my batter And this started happening within the last week or so.I used to be able to easily get about 30 hours out of my phone, now I'm only able to get about half that. As you can see in the 4th pic, android os has been the cause of a 3h45m partial wakelock, which doesnt seem right to me and is probably the cause of most of the battery drain. the last 2 pics are something that also seems weird to me, as google accounts manager shouldnt take 4% in about an hour. I dont even know why its running that long. Though i know how to quick fix the account manager drain (simply disable it) the android os isnt that simple as i dont know how to see exactly what apps or processes are making it cause a partial wakelock.
Im on omnirom using chaos kernel 9.2

I had a similar issue a while back, and in the end it was Google location reporting within Google now service. Try to switch location reporting off but leave location history on and see if it helps. Also choose Location mode to battery saving.
Turning off location reporting does not affect Google Now functionality...
It can be something else in your case, but this problem was common...

One thing I've noticed as a weirdness is the cache of a phone can get stale and so it gets into some weird loop that drains battery or something and clearing the cache improves battery life. Also sometimes apps can develop bugs or new wakelocks when you do an update so sometimes you have to stay on top of it to track it.

If I did not use some preventative measures to prolong battery life I would maybe get 14-16 hours in a day of usage, I always left wifi on, bluetooth even when not connected, data, force LTE, etc. I did not care because I charge my phone every night. I just find it silly if I get a day usage out of my phone and it is at 50% well assuming you use the phone the exact same as the last day you will use another 50% and it will be dead by the time you get to your charger.
I got my Z5 this monday and the first day it worked like a charm. Then it started to drain the battery faster than usual, if I browse the web or reddit with the Reddit Now! app - my battery starts to drain about 2% every minute or so. I first checked if I had any sync issues but there was none then I started to delete all apps I did not need. Still the same issue. Today I barely used my phone, only 3 hours of SOC but it was not heavy usage. I only use WhatsApp, Reddit Now, Chrome and Snapchat(almost never) and today the only thing that should've had an impact on the battery was WhatsApp. Somehow the WiFi shows as "on" but I never use WiFi when at school - so basically everything between 08:00 and 16:00 was pure 4G.
I really love this phone, but the battery is not what they promised. And it gets really hot during normal use! Here is some pictures, hope you guys can help me figure this out...

Yeah, that is strange because my previous phone LG G3 had perfect network signal... I've heard from other Z5 users that the network signal is bad on the phones..
The battery is varying almost too much for my taste... However I have found one of the sources for the problem - Spotify is a huge battery drain, dropping almost 3% every minute and heats up the phone to the point of no touching...
Having Facebook notifications on also causes big drain

You're absolutely not alone.. I also have abysmal battery life on my Z5.
Here's my stats from yesterday (full day at work)
h ttp://imgur.com/VF2b45g (remove the space)
WiFi, 3hrs 20mins SoT.
Battery lasted pretty much exactly 12hours, thats pretty far from 2 days promised by Sony. My old Z3 didn't have me worry about my battery at the end of the day, I knew it would last..
(Yes i have bad reception at my job (I work in a TV studio) but again, my Z3c handled that like a champ.
I HATE myself so much for jumping the wagon early. I expected the same exceptional battery life as my old Z3, only in a shiny new package. To say im unimpressed and incredibly disappointed is an understatement of proportions.
I'm currently fighting for a full refund and cancellation of my subscription from my carrier. Considering a Oneplus2, despite it also running the 810, which many seem to point to as the culprit for our battery life.
You really should get a new Z5, then. I haven't encountered any of those issues, but regarding the battery, maybe a full cycle charge could improve some things. Aside from that, I reckon to install Clean Master, just to see which apps are running in background constantly so you can end them. Worst case scenario, perform a factory reset.
Uninstall anything you've installed and disable any system apps you will never ever want or need and run it for a couple days and see how it is. Then start installing the apps you want again

This is my 4th Z5 actually
They all had this battery problem, they've all been through at least one full cycle as well. Done factory resets, also reinstalled firmware from PC Companion. Tried WiFi ON, OFF, doesn't matter, when ever i turn the screen on i get massive drain upwards of 1% per minute/2minutes. Autobrightness (45/50%)
Today stats: h ttp://imgur.com/6K45leg (again remove the space , thanks Obama!)
Android system and Kernel are top users in battery. Screen is 3rd.....
Sure, 55% in 11 hours is pretty good, but not with a little under 2hrs SoT.... SONY IM DISAPPOINTED!!
1st: Camera button was dead on arrival
2nd: Wonky loose power button, ****ty battery
3rd: ****ty battery, Stamina mode didn't work
4th: Working okay, deep sleeps, but drains insane amounts when screen is on, doing nothing, browsing, reddit etc.

Sadly no.. I'm getting approx 2.5H of SOT... I've tried many things, nothing helps. And the battery usage still reports my WiFi being on even though I turn WiFi off and all background scanning.. I'm getting really annoyed that Sony pretty much lied to us about the battery.. But I feel like the problem lies with the constant WiFi on, even though it is off.

Yup I have similar problems as well. Wifi won't turn on, and getting about 2.5hrs SoT out of a 100% juiced battery.
Maybe you 2 should try a full reset and completely re set up from scratch?

The battery seems to have "settled". I use these " " because some days the battery drains faster than water in the desert, and some days it lasts pretty much more than 4H SOT. Maybe there is some software issue? Because my WiFi is on 24/7 even when I HAVE disabled it and disabled all related settings to WiFi...
I have the same issues with wifi reporting on in the battery stats even if I turn it off. It doesn't show on in GSAM battery monitor so not sure what that's about. It also consistently reports low signal on the battery page and on my notification bar, whereas my Z3 reported high signal in the same place. If I do a speed test on 4G the speed is about the same, so I think that might be an issue with the displaying of signal rather than it not picking up much signal. My battery life is "OK", in that it will last 24-28 hours usually. My Z3 was quite a lot better.
I seem to have crappy mobile connection too. I game, watch videos and so on and get excellent battery life
I got the app greenify it shuts down all the apps for you or u can get it to do so before putting phone back in pocket, it has helped as I'm the same, battery drains in 6 hours max...
Facebook and messenger seem to take a lot of battery , Iv had Windows and iPhone they don't drain like this... Must be android system

Not even Airplane Mode is enough to stop WiFi showing up on my battery usage stats. Turning off "Network notification" (Notify whenever a public network is available) under Advanced Wi-Fi seems to do the trick though.
The only other gap in Wi-Fi battery usage appear to be my commute to work in a car - no Wi-Fi on the motorway so the OS must be truly turning Wi-Fi off then too. Sitting in an office with who knows how many Wi-Fi signals about must be keeping it on (only when the aforementioned Network notification setting is on).
I don't have any particular battery issues - I get a full day no problem - but maybe this is the reason that Sony's claimed 2-day battery seems a fantasy to me...
Let's clear this up, Sony never promised 2 days battery life, they stated "UP TO" 2 days battery life. ahead signal is going to drain the battery fast, if your like me and live in a crossover point of towers the phone is probably constantly switching between them. On an old phone I sat and watched it switching towers. Anyway my battery drains reasonably fast and the phone wasn't going to sleep but it's started to now, and I'm getting battery life then my previous phone, so I'm still happy about it and I'm a pretty heavy user with games, browsing etc.
So one night I left my phone off the charger at 40%... it was about 2am. I woke up at about 6am and the phone was completely dead. 4 hours of STANDBY drained 40%. So I thought I was just imagining things and compared my phone usage stats to my buddies who got the same phone at the same time. Here's a quick comparison... and mind you.. my numbers are after a FRESH factory reset with only stock app updates installed and maybe 2 or 3 of MY apps that I needed. I can't speak to what he's installed, but with these contrasts... I don't think it matters much.
Does anyone have some insight to this, similar experiences? I'm really thinking that I have a bad battery perhaps? I get usage varies by user but I really don't think this much especially considering that I intentionally let my phone just sit uncharged and unused for a good chunk of the day after it hit 100 and I pulled it from the charger.

same carrier? Your signal may be horrid in comparison to his.
Could be location, could be carrier. Make sure to take a look. If your phone is struggling to keep a data connection you'll kill your battery easy.

Same carrier, we live down the street from each other. Signal strength according to the *#*#4636#*#* is -92dBm 48asu (whatever the asu part means)
Sorry I don't have anything to add but I had this plague in S7. My battery died very fast.
The S8 has been opposite for me. I was able to get 15 hours out of the battery using it all day (where 8 of it was in a really bad reception area).
I hope you get it sorted out. I could never figure it out with my S7. I did alot of research (all here)

I am planning on bringing it to the AT&T store and presenting my findings to them and demand a replacement. I know that I had no issue chatting AT&T support and getting a replacement but they say that since it's brand new, I need to get support from the AT&T store.

So one night I left my phone off the charger at 40%... it was about 2am. I woke up at about 6am and the phone was completely dead. 4 hours of STANDBY drained 40%. So I thought I was just imagining things and compared my phone usage stats to my buddies who got the same phone at the same time. Here's a quick comparison... and mind you.. my numbers are after a FRESH factory reset with only stock app updates installed and maybe 2 or 3 of MY apps that I needed. I can't speak to what he's installed, but with these contrasts... I don't think it matters much.
Does anyone have some insight to this, similar experiences? I'm really thinking that I have a bad battery perhaps? I get usage varies by user but I really don't think this much especially considering that I intentionally let my phone just sit uncharged and unused for a good chunk of the day after it hit 100 and I pulled it from the charger.

I don't know the battery life on mine is amazing 100% after 8hrs standby. and I was on my phone yesterday for 14hrs doing stuff and that brought me down to 5% from 100. I have most of the gestures and crap that drains the battery off though.
My point is if your not happy with your battery life there maybe something physically wrong with the battery or phone.
It's bound to happen a lot of people are buying these so not every phone is going to work as it should.

I agree completely that there is a battery issue. I've had a LOT of exposure to testing battery life, troubleshooting what impacts battery, etc... and I'm fairly confident there is some sort of battery issue. There are FAR too many people reporting stellar results for me not to as well. Even with how much I use use it, there was someone getting 40+ hours on battery... so I should be able to get 12 right after a factory reset... you'd think

Would love to know what his is. -92 isn't terrible but it's not great. You'd be amazed based on tower placement what even 50 feet can do, much less building materials, etc.
not saying this is for sure it, but i've been in this same situation with another carrier, was dead set it was the phone/battery and so were they, we tried 3 replacements before I gave up and determined it had to be a signal problem. Switched carriers and got the same exact phone, issue was gone.
Mine is exceptionally good. I get 0 to 1% drain overnight. My battery seems to last forever in the day. I don't think it's your signal. I have been in bad signal areas for long periods of time with this phone and no significant drain. I would definitely get a replacement and go from there. Good luck

That's what I thought... I felt like with all the positive reviews going on about it and knowing how to minimize battery drain that I couldn't squeeze any decent results out of it...

I had battery drain on my S7 Edge
cos i had Sync from old S6 Edge all the apps
I fresh install each App & that did help
No Issue on my S8+ till now :fingers-crossed:
Chk my Video in Signature
I had this problem, turned off location and always on display before heading to sleep, battery was at 96%. 9 hours later when I woke up, 93%. Before when I had both settings on, my phone dropped by 14 percent overnight. SOT is amazing so far, 2h 40 min at 74%. Will post pics when battery is almost dead.
P.S. - Compared to my Nexus 6 battery, I used to get 3 hours SOT before dying, looking good so far.
I went to the AT&T store and they hooked my phone up to a diagnostic machine and it said the charging system was defective. So new phone and fingers crossed.

That sounds to me like a bad battery. I get about 2.5 days now which is unheard of on my V20.

Wasn't a rogue app, not after a factory reset. However the AT&T store validated there was a battery issue based on whatever test they used. Would like to get my hands on that testing app.....

I've had my AT&T Note 10 plus for over a week now, and for the first week the battery life was stellar. Three days ago seemingly out of nowhere, battery life had tanked. Some context - I came from a Note 9 which had fantastic battery life. Location on, widgets, notifications, etc were enabled. I feel I shouldn't have to yield to or cripple my phone to get decent battery life from it so I refuse to do that on a device that costs this much. It should just work.
Anyway, fast-forward to three days ago with my note 10+ - same settings and everything as my previous note 9 - and out of nowhere the battery life just starts to tank. Android System is seems to be the drain, but I'm not sure what in there is causing it. The phone is constantly warm. As an experiment, I've put it on airplane mode now with wifi still on and the phone has cooled down but I'm not sure yet if the battery is being drained less or not as it's only been a few minutes. But, I am losing about 6% battery/hr not even using the phone. That is rather unacceptable after it having worked just fine the first several days I've had it. I refuse to disable location and do other seemingly band-aid tricks to help the battery along as I don't feel that really solves the issue and should be unnecessary for a device that costs this much money. I also refuse to factory reset unless I ABSOLUTELY have to because these phones are a pain in the rear to setup, even with Samsung/Google's restore. So many settings to go in and manipulate.
I hope this resolves itself or I can get to the bottom of it somehow. I really love this phone and really don't want to go back to my iPhone XS Max over a battery issue but it is just unacceptable for the battery to drain like this with little to no actual use of the phone. The other night by the time I had placed it on the charger, android system was up over 30%...
is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I apologize if this has been discussed before - I couldn't find anything similar.
EDIT
After putting the phone in airplane mode (wifi left on), it has cooled down and battery drain seems to have improved. According to the battery graph it looks like the phone is also finally going to sleep. Previously the graph went straight down to the right with no flat spots.
What could this be? My cell reception hasn't changed and I'm at wit's end

I use Naptime from the play store by Francisco Franco and no as the title of his app says you don't get 9000% better battery. You'll need a couple of adb commands to get it to work it you're not rooted.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze&hl=en
This is a quote from Franco - Unbelievably improve the battery life during idle of your device by empowering Android's built-in Doze power saving functionality. It supports Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and now Pie. It features more options for rooted devices, but it'll also work if you're unrooted.
Naptime also allows you to disable WiFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth during doze for that battery life /flex ?
I find that I'm losing around 1 to 0.7% per hour is that normal or considered good? The other night my phone was at 95% I woke up 6 or so hours later and it was a 89%. I'll need to do some thorough testing, but I don't know what to make of those results.
Anyone on here have some advice on weather that idle time is good or bad? My device is an unlocked n10plus running Snapdragon
-If you charge to 100 and put it next to your bed. How much is it next morning?
-do you use the led cover?
-are there any less known apps in your list?
Switching off wifi, Bluetooth etc is useless. These are efficient enough nowadays.
I tested these kind of "tricks" and no difference after my nightly sleep test.
Sometimes an app like evernote, google foto's or journey is downloading a lot of data in your new phone.

With all my last Notes I get a .6 till .9% per hour in a situation where i put my Note next to my bed and do not touch it during sleeping hours.
I live on three different locations, in different countries even, and that shows some battery consuming difference. Routers and provider locations are not the same.
I have more than 180 apps installed. No games however.
I am not rooted, but use GSAM battery monitor. The quickest way to see the hourly consumption.
Factory reset means a full day work for me. E.g. banking apps need a lot of tuning. Even using Google and Samsung restore.

I charge it overnight while I'm sleeping. No lesser-known apps installed, no LED cover either. Not rooted. this literally happened out of nowhere after days of it being great. Not sure what could have happened, or if it's something on ATT's end? I don't know where else to look. I'm with you on the factory reset. It's such a waste of time and will take up hours.
mine also been facing this battery drain issue since day one. Tried using naptime just now and it improve my battery life ALOT!! Thanks for the suggestion

Pls try to charge it before going to bed and leave it to see how much it spends overnight w i t h o u t touching it. If it is higher than 1+%/hr something is wrong..
I buy a new phone every year because I am nuts. But I always register in Evernote my findings.
Frequently the power consumption is higher in the beginning, because a lot of background activity like data reading and background update of software.
If it is more than, let's say 1.2%/hr during overnight sleep it is not ok.
I am doing this test now with my Note 10+ 512 (Yes i am nuts, I told you) and will inform you later.
After seven hours .8%/hr which is normal.

I can tell you right now that it's losing 5-6% an hour just sitting there. The phone has been set up for days now so I know it's not the setup process. Like i said, it was fine for almost a week, then out of nowhere this happens...

Pffff, you have a problem. So in settings/maintenance/battery there no apps with high use?
After just rebooting the phone the consumption starts immediately?

Yes...I know I have a problem...Android System is the culprit. Beyond that, I do not know what in "android system" is causing it. Perhaps a wake lock bug? A wifi bug?
It's always the same with my Samsung devices it's rediciculus Samsung. On your note 10 or note 10+ before switching to flight mode set the network setting to 3g only! In 7 hours you will loose only 2% battery instead of 8 or more. Same was on my note 9 but Samsung finally patched this behavior a few month ago. Now the same with my note 10+.
This problem is only for the flight mode. So you can test 3 things in 3 nights. You have 3 options before going in flight mode. In network selection choose 3g only. Than watch what happens over night. Next time you choose 2g/3g only and you can try it with 2g only.
For me doing so 1-2 % battery drain in 7-8 hours.
I've pretty bad reception with 4G. But no crazy 25% drain over night, more like 4-5%. And that's with the non plus Note with exynos.
With naptime, do you get notifications instantly? I have auto sync on all the time, is there any issues around this?
Just bought a new galaxy note 10 and overnight from 100 % i have 57 this morning. Whats going on?
Is this normal on note 10 plus battery health?

My N10+ is about 3 weeks old, but I found, like you, that after a couple days of stellar battery life my idle was starting to drain pretty fast. Going to bed and waking about 6 hours later I was missing around 20%. This is with all apps closed, WiFi, BT, Location, Link to Windows, Mobile data, NFC, Sync, and AOD turned on. I turned off AOD, NFC, and Link to Windows. My battery drain since, for the better part of 2 weeks, has been about 5-6 percent. Around 1% an hour while sleeping. I don't know how I can help, but I hope this does. I honestly can't complain about this battery. I have been getting 6-7 of screen time before having to charge around 10%.
Edit: also turned off edge lighting, which I had enabled before.
ehm so you made your top shelf 1000$ device into a feature phone ... that's no solution

I don't remember saying, "Here's a solution for you!" No, I simply posted what I did to stop the horrible battery drain that I was experiencing.
Also, I spent the $1,100 on this phone and I'm pretty sure I can use it however I want. Feature phone, paper weight, fish tank decoration..:good:
My N10+ has been sat on my desk and not used for 4 hours yet battery has gone from 100% to 78%.
I don't know how this is acceptable.

I have the reg note 10 and ive been battling this for a couple weeks. nothing seems to keep the system from sucking the batter dry. Standby life is a joke. i lost 40% today with the phone on for about 10 hours and 30 min SOT while i was at work. I cant figure out whats stuck in the system, tried literally everything
Hi to all,
I bought Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 12GB/256GB (Exynos 2200) one week ago and noticed abnormal battery drainage for a new device.
I read on the Samsung official page battery can be consumed a little faster right after purchase and I should wait for all the background operations and syncing to complete.
But six days after I started to use my new device, the battery cannot even last until the evening. Today at 08:30 AM I had 100 % of the battery, at 5:30 PM it went all down to 0 % with light to moderate usage. Literally.
In battery settings, it says the full charge will last about 11h 55 min which is a ridiculously small estimation for a flagship mobile phone.
I installed all kinds of different apps to check battery capacity and health and didn't notice any deviations.
So my question is if this is normal for the first week of usage or something is very wrong with the battery or sofware?
Thanks for your help.

Go into the Samsung Members app on the phone and on the lower right you can select Support, run diagnostics for the phone’s battery and contact Samsung tech support. This should be your first steps trying to get Samsung involved with getting your battery problem resolved.
I have submitted this issue through the Samsung Members app. Diagnostics for the phone's battery also says that the battery is good among the 2-3 battery health apps I have installed.
I think the problem is not so much hardware as the software which drains this battery abnormally.
I used Smart Switch to transfer all my apps and other data to my new phone before first use. As I read here and on other forums/Reddit this could be the problem. I did a factory reset yesterday and will see how the battery will perform next few days, only transferred contacts and SMS messages (today battery's performance is still very poor). My notifications didn't work for some apps transferred through Smart Switch, but now they do work.
This thread describes exactly my problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/S22Ultra/comments/t9lw4d
If anyone has some other ideas about why this is happening, I would be very grateful to hear them.
I have bought S22 ultra used 1 week ago and mada backup from S21 with smart switch. Abnormal drain usage here too.. i have set ALWAYS ON "on touch" and seems it stopped a little battery drain..
Anyway, how do you think level volume is? It seems lower (sound and vibration) comparated to S21..
This just confirms my theory this is a software rather than a hardware issue.
I am not keen to turn off features why I bought the device in the first place so the battery does not drain until 5:30 PM.
Also, I did not mention that I get battery overheating occasionally while I am not running any demanding apps (mostly I use a web browser, social media apps, etc.).
BTW, I got a response from a Samsung Member app and it is quite generic and not really of any help as expected.
I think level volume is quite satisfying compared to my previous device, Huawei P30 Pro.
On my S22, always on "always active" drains battery very fast.. now it seems returned "normal".. like you, i think too it's a software issue and not hardware, but i haven't tested S22 after a cleare factory reset so i can't be sure about this
Hi, this isn't normal behavior. If diagnostic says that the battery itself is ok, then it must be a software issue. What application is reported as more battery consuming in the statistic? Have your try to run for a day the phone in safe mode to check if this changes?

Hello. It's not normal, of course. Definitely a new battery should last longer. Maybe you got a defective phone. Rarely goes to the experts.
Well it is a well known issue that smart switch can make a lot of trouble to your new phone. I'd strongly suggest you try to factory reset again, preferably from recovery and manually set it up, it I'll take time but you will notice the difference after the settling time pases. There should definitely be something software related. After using the phone for more than a year and read a lot of info on the subject, with most of the functions on and no tricky hacks, mine last a full day with 5 to 6 hours sot. If I use it from 8 am to say 11 pm, I can get from 6 to 7 hours sot. Hope it helps.

Didn't know Smart Switch is a well-known issue. Why do you think I should perform a factory reset again? I did manually set it up yesterday, only transferred contacts and sms through SS. Now all my apps are working properly, at least that is something I solved.

Yeah this thing with Smart switch I witnessed since the note 20 ultra and again with the s22u. I think you should reset again specially if you didn't do it from the recovery menu, maybe you can first wipe cache from there and give it s try a few days and then the hard reset from there as last option.
Quick update: I think the battery's life has some improvements. I lost only 5 % overnight (around 8 h of sleep). Previously my battery drained for 15-20 % in that period.
Yesterday around 3 PM I had 80 % after charging and now it's 31 % but also with light/moderate usage.
Unfortunately, seems factory reset and not using Smart Switch for app transfer did not improve battery life.
Here are the stats after three days of using it:

Health still looks good, but 5 h of SOT (20 % per hour) is unacceptable.

Guess my only option now is to go to the service for further physical diagnostics.
