Hi, i have Note 10 Exynos Version, phone was fully charged (100%) at time i was gone to the bed around , i turn off all the futures like wifi, NFC, Etc... i shocked when woke up and found battery is on 74%, i had s7 edge and never face sych iss5its hardly uses 3% max un standby, sometimes My note 10 drain 18%, 20%, i had checked everything but couldn't found reason for battery drained in standby, not installed any fancy app, its not show any background uses of any app, i dont know how to attached screen shot to this thread otherwise it will clarify more about issue..... help me to resolve ..
Sync and Bixby routines are major candidates for overnight/standby battery drain.
Even i face the same overnight drain issue which never happened with my S10+, but not as much as 24%.
It has also got to do with your network signal strength in the place were you live.
Hi , the point you mentioned about network signal strength seems possible culprits, i barely get 1 to 2 bar signal strenth (idea network) at home, secondly sync and Bixby routine was already turned off, is it possible that poor signal strenth should tole that much on battery? I had s7 edge and its it's never drained that much battery even at poor network signal strength

Look under your battery settings, should show more detail about what is consuming what amount of power and go from there.
Hi, if i turn-on the flight mode at night before bed, phone won't drain battery at standby, its draining graph stayed flat at night, so i assumed that main culprit is poor network signal.... by the way can u enlighten me how to add/attached screen shot herewith if i wish to? As i dont found any option menu for that....

As for your battery drain, the main culprit is always bad battery signal. So maybe try locking it to 3g and try it out.
Sometimes when the network is bad and the phone wants to sync, it will fail and keep trying. It's an issue which plagues samsung to be honest. Had it once as well on my note10.

Hi all, based on my experience of flashing various different ROMs, most of the ROM shouldn't have the battery drain issue. However, I discovered some times after flashing a new ROM the device gets much warmer and the battery drains very quickly.
When this happens the best solution is to shutdown the device, pull the battery out for 5 minutes or so to let it cool down. Then put it back and turn on the device and the battery drain problem should be resolved.
I haven't been able to find the reason behind that but it does make a big difference. With one of the ROM I flashed, the battery went from 100% to flat in less than a day even when no WiFi, no bluetooth and no infrared are turned on. Then I recharged the device, pulled the battery out to let it cool down and put it back. After that the battery went back to normal with only around 3% consumption overnight.
Sounds interesting.
I also noticed that the device is getting hot in some cases (high CPU usage).
It is clear that the selfdischarge of the battery if much higher when it gets warmer. If it is being recharged in a short time afterwards, then also here the temperature will get higher.
This might be an explanation. You're right.

Mhh.. i found out, if you have a bad cell connection (like 1 bar of all 4) the phone starts to boost somehow this hardware and drains alot battery.
Any1 experiencing that?

You're absolutely correct... When the GSM carrier signal is weak, your phone compensates for this weakness by boosting the signal off your phone's antenna. This process consumes alot of power. Another reason for such a high consumption is that your GSM service provider is using a low GSM band for its GSM infrastructure and your phone is a triple/quad band phone. In that case, it would continuously boost off the signal.
what is better to use... when it comes to battery consumption...
wifi or 3g?
and is there a big difference in speed?
sorry for the newb-like question...
Wi-fi is better for battery life, and its usually faster than 3G
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I found, according to Juiceplotter, that my phone dies a tad bit quicker when I'm connected to wifi at home as opposed to 3g. Funky but true. Slopes of wifi usage decrease a lot quicker than the slopes for 3g usage.

I was losing 30% every night with my phone sitting with the screen off and wifi set to never sleep. Last night I disabled the wifi and lost 3% over 8 hours even though I was only getting 1 bar or signal and have autosync on for weather, facebook, email. I am going to try to leave wifi on tonight with it set to only stay on when plugged in and see how much it will drop.

I agree setting wifi to never sleep will kill your battery quicker than 3G overnight. I use Wifi when I am at work because it is faster, I am not 100% sold on the idea that it uses less battery than normal data. Especially if you do not normally use a lot of data.
My school is in the boondocks (not really) and has virtually no cell service in half the rooms. Is there a setting I can tweak to make the phone stop constantly searching for a signal if it loses signal so that it doesn't drain the battery so much when I'm here?
For a comparison, last night after being unplugged for 4 hours, I'd had the display on for 15 minutes and I was at 94% battery. Right now I've been unplugged for about as long and I've had the display (on a lower brightness) for about as long, but my battery is at 84%. Nothing appears to have taken the battery other than Cell Standby, the rest of the numbers are miniscule, between 2 and 3%.

THere is an app for that. I just looked at the market and found this:

Hey,
i just had the feeling that theres something wrong with my battery stats. Cell Standby drains about 25% battery up to 50% sometimes.
Is there something wrong with my nexus 5?

well it looks like you were in an area of no service for quite a while (the red bars). The battery gets crushed when there is no service and it is searching for service. I would put your phone in airplane mode if you know you have no service in an area. For example, when I enter the subway I put it into airplane mode to save battery.
I always recommend DS Battery Saver on the Play Store. When your screen is off, it turns off data (3g/4g).
To give you an idea of the benefits, I've been at work for 8 hours now, used my phone heavily at lunch, and my battery is still at 84%.
well, i tried using noBars or Autopilot but both arent working with 4.4. Instead of enabling flightmode they just crash..
So besides teh cell standby the battery stats seem ok? i was just wondering if there might be something wrong with the actual battery hardware.
I ran an experiment during the weekend, the phone was completely disconnected for 3 days. After the first day I even enabled battery saver. I don't have AOD or any other running apps. After 3 days it lost about 30% without any usage, quite linearly. This seems kind of high, I could notice the same drain in real-life and blamed it on poor network reception. I get perhaps 1-2% per hour inside the house with WiFi connected and nothing else running. Does this sound normal or should I try resetting the phone?
As a dumb comparison, I took the iPhone SE (old one) out for a day, connected to 4G, WiFi on, made a few photos and after a few hours the battery was still at 100%. Even if it's really only 95%, the P3 would have been already at 90% with twice the battery size.
