Try turning off the Always Scanning for WiFi option. Also, change the Sync settings for apps you don't need to be synced at all times. And Location setting to Battery Saver.

When im at home i can pull close to 4hrs screen on . If im not on wifi the phone idle is terrible. I probably drain 6% or more per hr idling. Its hard coming from a note 4 , but i guess it is what it is.

Draining at 6% per hour is not good & unusual. But for Android 5.0.2, it seems about right, unfortunately. My N5 drained at that rate before the 5.1 update.
On my S4 with its 2-yr old battery, I drain at 3 to 3.5% per hour on idle with both WiFi & LTE turned off.
On my N5 with a new battery & 5.1, I idle drain at 0.7 to 1.5% per hour.
I'll add my battery drain rate once I get my S6E tomorrow.

This is mine on light usage. I noticed etter after a factory reset. Heavy usage is between 6 and 8 depending on wifi
I'm debating going to get one of these... My Note 2 keeps not charging and the stock battery died in 1:10 (from 50% to 1%) during a run yesterday. I was using spotify and mapmyrun.
Today is my first day after first full charge and my battery drains at ~3.5% hour, per GSAM.
I have screen brightness at little bit below the half-way mark with Auto Brightness checked.
I disconnected my phone at 6 AM and right now, it has been on 16 hrs 30 mins. I have gotten 2 hrs 30 mins SOT with 45% left.
Wifi active for 6 hrs, LTE for about 1 hr.
Screen has used 52% of my battery, Wifi 15% (5.0.2 shortcoming), Bluetooth (2%), Held Awake (0%), Phone (0%), Phone Radio (0%), App Usage (31%).
So far, the S6E is outperforming my Nexus 5 on 5.1 with a brand-new battery I swapped in on 4/1/2015.
Happy with the S6E's battery life, especially considering it's only 2600mah.
a little over 6hrs and it went from 100% to 14%. Granted 56%-23% were on a 1:43 run using Bluetooth headphones + spotify and mapmyrun mapping my way. Oddly, when I look at the battery usage, OneDrive is at 18%!
18 hrs & 37 mins off the charger with 4 hrs 8 mins of SOT. 17% battery left. I'm very happy with this. Update to 5.1 should improve it a lot more as it did on my Nexus 5.
Android System & Kernel battery usage is pretty decent. Those two on my N5 on 5.1 drains way more battery than it does on my S6 Edge.
When I'm not actively using my phone, the idle battery drain rate is pretty good - 1.9%/hour (similar to my N5, with the N5 being a bit better).
13 hrs & 9 mins off the charger with 2 hrs 20 mins SOT --> 52% battery left.
All this is without Root and my usual battery-saving Root programs.
Once 5.1 rolls out and if I decide to Root the phone and add battery-saving Root apps, I'm expecting to achieve 6-7 hrs SOT.

Ive noticed that turning off location and disabling google now has helped my battery life a lot.
I love this phone, but the battery life is the one terrible thing. 7-10 hours seems to be the max. I might have to return it and suffer the summer until the note 5.
i'm surprised to hear about all the negative battery life issues on this phone. on my GS3, i'd lose 3-4% battery just driving to work - now I get there and still have 100%. maybe i'm just not as heavy a user, but the other day my phone was off the charger for 16 hours and I still had 43% when I got home - and that included using Google Maps for 20 minutes, texting throughout the day, and using a bunch of apps. when idle, I generally only get 1% battery drain. my only complaint about the phone is some of the UI that I can't customize, but it's only a matter of time before custom ROMs are available...
I lose 10% or more battery on the phone regardless if I'm using it or it is sitting with the screen off. When I drive the 45 minutes to work, the battery is at 89%-93%.
A 1hr run with it on my arm playing spotify/mapmyrun seems to use about 26%.
Basically, I'm always worried now about the battery dying when I'm using it.
at the end of next month, I have a 14hr+ a day for 4 days music festival where I can only charge it at night. 7-10hr battery isn't going to work for me. It seems bizarre to me that they made the best phone ever, but skimped on the battery.
drive to work today with the phone just sitting beside me, 100% to 86%.

Is your location on? I had to disable google now. Turned off nfc, advanced wifi scanning.
my battery sucks too :/
i live by the charger even more
with all the same activities that got 7-10 hours on my Edge, the Note 4 is getting 14-24hrs.
Battery is beyond horrible!
Wifi is off
NFC is off
What else can I turn off? I can't even get half day out of this POS.

I think you actually want Wi-Fi to be on. I find that on any android device I burn more battery when using cellular networks.

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.
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 OnePlus 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

I am not too pleased about idle battery drain.
Overnight, about 8h it consumes about 3%-5%. Sometimes more than 10%, if the device doesn't go in deep sleep for whatever reason..
If commute, it takes more battery (maybe sensors, switch to mobile data, etc).
About 20% in 9hours. wifi most of the time with about 1h hour on mobile data. And movement in pocket about 20-30mins.
My experience with idle drain has been good overall. Getting around 0.5% per hr
My idle drain is horrendous. I'm getting around 20% drain over night (7h sleep) with nothing enabled but WiFi. And that's with Greenify. I'm thinking of rooting and flashing the EX Kernel, but wanted to wait for an obviously outstanding major update before doing so.

Android System, Phone Services + Google Services, but only if WiFi/data is on. If they are off the battery life is perfect.

Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

For me Chrome was a big culprit for battery drain. Try to delete the cache and the storage of the app. You can as well disable and it and re enable it. That should be enough. Anyway, Chrome is a battery hog. I am thinking about switching to Opera or Firefox. Any recommendation for browsers?
I use Firefox with the add-on 'Dark Background and Light Text'. I have it set to turn the background of all pages to true black.
2% over night (7 hours) pretty pleased. But it was even better on OP3 when the drain over night was 0-1%
I'm on RR with no GAPPS and lost about 1.5% in about 8.5hrs of not being used (sleep + getting ready in the AM)
I have TASKER, and have set airplane mode to come on 8pm - 3am.
Currently getting roughly 2-3% drain in that "airplane mode" time

What the? Do you have gestures enabled (eg: double tap to wake)?
In my opinion it consumes too much.. one time i got about 3% drain in about 8-9h idle with wifi on and no commute.
That's why i hate android idle drain. A never-ending issue.
SOT only 34 mins, 1h mobile data, the rest on wifi.
I've disabled gestures, location history, no google fit, etc etc
Not bad here. About .3% per hour overnight. So about 2% overnight. That's on 4G as I rarely ever have my phone on WiFi. I also have email at to push (2 accounts) and I usually turn off the sync stuff in my Google account. Things like app data, calendar, contacts and the rest. I just sync when I make changes like adding a contract I then toggle the contacts on then off kind of thing. No need to let it sync all day and night for nothing imo.
I just have that drain when location is set to "high accuracy". When its set to "battery saving" everthing seems fine.
I don't know what's wrong with my device/apps. Several times now i had a standby drain in around 7 hours of 30%+. I didn't plug my phone in overnight because of Dash charging, when I went to bed, the battery was at 37%. The next morning I overslept massively and completely missed my shift because my battery died over night. This is with airplane mode on during 75% of the night. The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

Yeah man you need to download accubattery or something to monitor the drain. That's ridiculous. And yeah I've been kinda confused about the stock battery stats as well. It seems to tell you nothing.
I have noticed a lot more battery drain since the 911 update a few days ago. I was getting 7ish sot now I'm under 5hrs. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed it though. It'll be fixed don't worry.

I had AccuBattery installed at first but it didn't give me any meaningful insights so I uninstalled it a few weeks later.
I normally only get around 3 hours of SOT, but I'm not into mobile gaming or YouTube so that is normal...
I notice significant drain in idle after the 4.5.6 update last week. Android system seems to be the culprit, but not sure what's process under this is actually causing the problem.
All radios on, and 2 mail accounts syncing.

I dont see any standby drain. When I keep data on (locaion,wifi and bluetooth off) in the night it drained only 2-3 % battery. with data off/location/wifi/bluetooth off it was 100% in the morning.
But I have a different issue, When I am using the phone, I see a drain now which was not there initially. Android system is draining most of the power. I usually used to get 9+ hrs SOT with 2 days usage. but now Both have dropped below to 1&1/2 day and around 8 hours SOT.. Tried all the things found on net, but it didnt helped.
Same things happens with after update. Before the update it works for 2 days but now a it runs for 1 & half day max.

I did the update too, so you think it caused by update? Is samsung deliberately doing it as everyone suspects of them doing that they slow down the devices or its just a bug they didn't realize?
Maybe it's a bug.
All tests are under airplane mode, no cell signal.
WIFI ON with "battery saver" OFF takes 0.5% per hour drain.
WIFI OFF with "battery saver" ON takes <0.1% per hour drain.
BUT !!!
WIFI ON and "battery saver" ON at the same time, the standby drain will up to 1.3~2% per hour.
I have test this for more than 10 times, trying to avoid any other cause.
Finally I'm sure that "battery saver" mode will cost more standby drain if WIFI is ON. （ yeah, that sounds ridiculous
But I don't know why.

The battery performs well when in use (discharges at the rate of 10% per hour Heavy Gaming 'CoD: mobile', which is quite good I guess) but when the phone is idle, the battery drains quite fast about 2% per hour and the battery discharges about 10-15% over the night.
Losing 10-15% battery is not normal for a phone at all, also 10% of a 6000mAh battery is quite huge.
This problem persists. Any help is welcome!
EDIT :
I have uploaded the battery usage stats screenshots on google drive, check the link. I turn off WiFi and clear recent apps before going to bed but still, the battery drains heavily 15% over 6-7 hours.
CAN'T share the link because xda won't allow posting URLs here as I'm new to XDA forum

How did you figure out the root cause? I am also facing battery drain by Android system after the recent security update.
Hello,
I've purchased a huawei p30 few days ago, and I noticed that the battery drains pretty fast comparing to a thread I've read here about Huawei P30 Pro battery drain (link).
It takes 1% of battery for about 4-6 minutes of use.
In addition, it consumes 10% overnight (10 hours), with only cellular and data connection, no wifi, no gps, no nfc.
Tested it with flight mode, and it takes 7% overnight (10 hours), which I think is way too much (should be like 1% right?).
I have version 9.1.0.193 (europe version), with the ability to upgrade to 240.
What can possibly cause that? I only have it for few days, with 3 apps installed: Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram.
I wondered, how is your battery consume? that would be nice if you can share your stats.
thanks
Edit:
Tested the phone in safe mode, 10% over 10 hours standby, I got a defect for sure =\

Thanks for your response.
I did viewed the battery usage, however there is nothing that consuming too much battery, looks normal.
The drain got better overtime, now I get 3% overnight (10 hours) on flight mode without AOD and 5% with cellular, which is ok.
However, on standby time over the daylight, the battery drains 1% every 30 minutes, I think that is very bad. not sure why the standby time is so bad.
I get SOT of 6~ minutes every 1% (which is great for me).
So I'm not sure what could be causing that. I've watched a video by linus on youtube about galaxy s9+ on battery drain, and it seems that the mobo have a leak, which made it drain.
Is it possible that huawei also suffer from mobo leaks?
