So I am new to both the S10e and Android 10 (or 9) and I can't find where the total battery usage since the last charge is displayed. On the battery usage page there is only 2 charts which show percentages, and not time, individual times per app, not total time, and even if I were to manually add the individual times together, for each separate day, I'm still missing standby time. Googling I found that there is supposed to be a 3-dot menu button to enable full usage statistics but I can't find that either. Am I just being a noob or did Samsung decide we don't need to now the usage time since last charge?
I use GSam Battery Monitor. You can find it in the Play Store.

I will check it that app out but did Samsung really remove this basic information or Google did? I don't really like adding yet another app for something that should be there by default.
So I've been googling for the past few days and found little to no information on this issue. What makes it worse is that I don't even know if this is standard in Android 10, it's only on Samsung phones, or only on this specific model. Installing a third party app is something I am trying to avoid, but after all the useless information on the net (when you google android and battery, the results you get are either people complaining about battery life or people providing the same old useless tips for improving battery life, none of which answer my question) I've actually answered my own question. It seems the information I seek was there all along, hidden in plain sight (though not exactly what I was looking for but it's better than nothing). Check the shot below:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The second chart has the time. 0 - 4 - 8 - 12 - 16 - 20. Why it's in sections of 4, I dont know, why it's missing the key number, 24, I don't know, why they didnt bother adding just a small "h" to the scale so people can see those numbers are actually hours, I don't know. Now, this still doesn't give me the total usage since last full charge (the charge was on dec 19th) because I have yet to find a way to select multiple days, if I select the individual days, 19,20 and 21 and approximately add up the charts, I get the total time. So, 21st has about 12h (as you can see above), 20th has 24h, and 19th has about 20-30 mins there, I'd say 36-37 hours of usage since last charge. Now, why exactly they removed this tiny bit of useful information is beyond me (it's been there all the way up till Android 8, I don't about 9, and it's gone in 10, or just removed by Samsung, again still don't know if it's been removed by Google or specific to Samsung only, I don't have another non-Samsung Android 10 phone just lying around for me to check).
Maybe someone can shed some light on this issue, maybe there is a way to select multiple days in the chart so it's automatically added up, maybe it will be added back in a future patch (yeah, right).
I've seen Android 10 on Pixel 4, it shows battery usage and screen on time since last full charge, so it's just OneUI 2.0 that doesn't.
Not only they removed this, they also removed idle time and its battery usage.
This would be my last Samsung phone.

I appreciate the confirmation. At least we know it's on Samsung, not Google.
Anyone know of an app that adds the battery settings back to the quick settings? It's REALLY inconvenient to get the battery stats for this. I can't understand why Samsung removed that from quick settings.
I noticed the same issue with my S10e. This OS seems to be full of bugs and issues [emoji35]

I think that android 10 features... Digital well being... Even on xiaomi it's like that... No screen on time since last full charge....
I use Gsam battery monitor.

found this vid on youtube. you must be rooted to install set CPU, but its worth it. i'm goign to be testing my gains today since i can see big gains being made while the phone is in standby mode especially.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt3H75qnupA
what other tips do you guys have?
can you do this with the captivate? what are the overclock speeds?
I installed set cpu on my captivate and it has dramatically increased my battery time
i thought set cpu was crashing captivates? how's it been going for you guys?
I've got it on mine and it hasn't crashed. I will note however, that if you go too low for the Max speed, this phone will come to a crawl. I had mine set at 400/200 for battery <20%, and it had trouble coming out of the lock screen. Did some tweaking but my batter is almost dead anyways, so I will have to comment on it tomorrow.
I'm debating if I want to get JuiceDefender or not. It's a good program, but the "turn off data" for 15 mins is what's getting me. I text and Google Talk alot, so I may just download the program and use it while I'm at work, then disable it when I get home.
i thought this was a waste since the phone will go down to 100mhz on its own to conserve power?
it will but when you are using it, it can climb up to 1000 wasting power. Nothing on the android should really require that much horsepower atm
a simple approach i started using on an earlier smartphone, was a wallpaper that was predominantly black - considering the display is the predominant battery drain
i've been using this one, just enough going on to be visually intriguing but not take a lot of juice - whenever i look around for wallpapers, i keep coming back to this one - once i've seen a new wallpaper for a day or so, i've bored of it. Plus my flip clock widget, i set it with transparent background and transparent digit plates, to minimize the white display
i've posted the full size image in case anyone wants to copy
the other nice part, for me, the widgets are easy to discern

+1 to this post.
Very good approach to conserving power, since, according to the phone itself, the display usually takes up a high percentage of its battery life. This wallpaper is also really good, because not only is it predominantly black, but the main color is red, which drains the least amount of life of all colors.
Think I might try that once I get my brick working or trade it in for a new one...

So when i try and use SetCPU (which is supposedly the most effective power saver) I get around 500 mhz... That being said, I wasn't using the new 2.0.1 version. Is there support for Captivates in newer versions? I need help with this >.< My battery isn't lasting nearly long enough for me, and I really want to get close to 25 hours with heavy usage on my captivate (or close to) as Carlos suggested in his video.
Thanks.
Hi folks!
I tried to search the topic before starting a new thread but I couldn't find any.
So, here's my problem. I noticed that since I flashed the stock JQ1 Gingerbread from chainfire's thread apart from everything else being fantastic, the battery use statistics in Settings -> Status -> Battery Use I can see are stranger and stranger.
First I have noticed that my the battery usage of Display had frozen to 2%. It is completely impossible, comparing it to the Froyo before, where it often went beyond 50 or even 60% of total battery usage.
Then, I saw that the Android System was taking about 90% of the stats. At first I thought it may be the infamous Gingerbread battery drain. It is not that, however, because I do not feel the battery draining any faster than before.
Then came the realization that no matter what application I am running, it does not get reflected in the Battery Use - only Android System percentage grows bigger. The funny part is that from time to time the total of all percentage goes beyond 100%
And, finally, today I unchecked the background update of the PULSE application, because I do not really use it and checking the Battery Use again what did I see. See attachment:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Not only the display category had gone away totally, but half of the battery usage is now transferred to PULSE, which I don't use.
Please, do you have any ideas how to repair that?
I am on a European Galaxy Tab, JQ1 2.3.3 Android + CF-Root v3.3 for JQ1
Not anyone experiencing the same problem? Just a little update from me. I read half the cloud already, strange but it is the first time that I cannot really find my topic in Google.
I tried what not - no result. I wiped battery stats, which only helped to the extent that the PULSE has gone from battery use stats, and display is back but the readings are stuck at 2% no matter how much I am actually using the display.
I read somewhere that it could be the kernel, where some thing may have not been allowed or switched on??? But if that was the case I would not be the only one with the same problem, but all the people that have flashed the ROM + CF Root 3.3 from chainfire's thread????
Still no ideas?
Hey guy,
Once ago I had the same problem. I don't think that pulse realy eats your battery. But we all know that the battery statistics is incorrect. So don't worry. Do use "AntTek App Manager ☆ root" (its free) to remove the puls app and wipe the cach. Or just install the overcome rom. It's much better then the Sock Rom. Trust me Because after removing of puls, there are other false statuses. I don't remember but i think it will show you that the battery is eaten by the core apps for more then 70%.
Sorry guy... I know about my terrible english
Hey odysseus84,
don't worry about your English. I am glad that you tried to be helpful. It is not that bad. After all I understood what you mean. You are right, even without Pulse in battery stats, I am still missing statistics for practically everything.
It is interesting that the Battery Use fails to record third party apps. As you can see below, the usage for all main system processes like Idle, Standby, Bluetooth, Wi-fi, Voice Calls are there. The statistics for display usage is stuck at 2% as already mentioned, which is the most annoying part.
Another interesting thing is that everything seems to be put into Android System usage, because normally it wouldn't get more than 10% of the overall battery usage share.
May I ask for other people running Gingerbread 2.3.3 to post their battery stats here?
Look. It's just a Bug. There is "Android System"written but it means the % of the Display. There is "Display" written but it means something else. As you can see on the attached pic we have almost the same "Display" usage.
And the other thing is that the statistics nothing shows with less then 2% usage.
Finally you can just accept it or flash something else.

Hello,
So recently i've noticed the Battery performance on my Sony Xperia Z3 has become poor, I mainly use my device for socialising etc, I don't game alot. I'm currently Running Android 4.4 Kitkat (UK)
(I'm usually at home and connected to Wi-Fi)
See the results for yourself:

Check if the device is constantly awake at the detailed battery information if you click on the graph.
If that's the case, search xda for "wakelock" and how to get rid of it.
An easier attempt is, to think if it's a certain app you installed recently or a change you made to your system.

Thank you for your response,
I'll Go ahead and download a Wakelock Detector By someone who works here at XDA, and i'll see if it finds anything; But as of now my battery died again; So i left it dead for 15 minutes, and now i'm charging it back to 100% with no interruptions

You could also install the ota update for lollipop and see if that automatically solves your issue. (new versions are being created to be better)
Another option is to flash the lollipop stock rom and try if that solves it. (but that's a bit more advance)
I suddenly got a similar issue - not as bad as yours but a drop in battery life. I turned off scanning even when wifi is off and turned on location based wifi and my battery life went back to normal. I'd just had a Google Play Services update and have had this issue with various play services updates in the past on other devices which is why that was one of the first solutions I tried.
Might be worth a shot if you haven't already tried it :good:
There's always Greenify.
Repair it or flash another ftf file.
Same thing here. Since I've had this when I purchased it new I've not had any good battery life. My old z2 had way better battery life and stamina mode works.

Was there any update to this matter, OP?
What brightness options are you using? (% and adaptive or not?)
Also, did you actually update it to Lollipop? Was there any problem with wakelock?
Best regards.
Network & Wake Lock
The last screenshot you posted clearly shows that the battery drain is because of your Mobile Network and a Wake Lock.
Network Signal:
As signal strength decreases, the device requires additional power resulting in battery drain.
The cost of 1 hour’s worth of calls is 150mA, assuming a strong signal
So, on a 2000mA battery, it takes 8% of total capacity (8% =150 / 2000)
This means the same 1 hour of calls could cost as much as 23% of battery life (23% = 450 / 2000)
Wake Lock:
WakeLocks are a Power Manager system Service feature, available to your applications to control the power state of the host device.
Wake Locks can be used to keep the CPU running, prevent the screen from dimming, prevent the screen from turning off, and prevent the keyboard backlight from turning off.
I used search and looked through several pages of Q&A threads and didn't see an answer to this. If I missed the thread, please point me to it and accept my apology.
I updated to check for the recall and I'll be getting a new Shield Tablet eventually but my battery life nosedived immediately after the update. I read that Lollypop has had battery issues but the only fix I seem to read about elsewhere is flashing CM which does not interest me particularly. My battery life instantly dropped from 4-6 hours to barely 2 since the update.
When I went to battery stats prior to the update, I saw all the apps that were running and after the update I only see things like "screen," "android os," "android system," and "chrome." I'll have lost 50% of the battery and battery stats will tell me that the screen has used 15%, os & system have used 5% but there aren't enough percentages to add up to either the 50% lost or 100% of used battery life. I'm not even sure how to read the stats anymore.
Is there a kernel I can flash or something to regain the battery life I had prior to the update?
Any assistance is most appreciated.

Hi
I've actually noticed the same thing, thought I had lost my mind or something. Luckily I'm getting a RMA ( faulty battery recall)
But I would really like to find a solution to this in the mean time...
Tried a factory reset?
Its all about using hardware ....

Okay so In your tablet you got 4 core
4 core means twice as much battery use because you can adjust it y dividing them to half
which is with update they made the cpus using full capacity all 4 of them
so when your not gaming or with your gaming which is it didnt show any difference to me while Im playing heartstone
settings >shield power control>my power mode enable again and customize my power mode >max cpu cores 2
then try with this and youll be allright also
another poing I would love to make and share my experience with you
So far if any of your google apps or location apps is on they draw approx 30 percent more battery
Its disgracefull I know so for that
Settings>location>off
then another thing is I come across a lot
settings > wifi >advanced options ( top of right corner 3 dots)>Scanning always available is off
:fingers-crossed:
Limiting the number of active cups is not the option. But three are other settings related to CPU which not te reduce their number but reducing their frequency first. Your room possibly is too much conservative about power usage because Android is made to used the "on demand" governor for CPU settings and assumes that there's a scheduler that will update the frequency every few seconds instead of every minute where all cups will email active for at least some time, so that it is never really idle. The exists some tools like CPU tuner that allows defining the CPU parameters and the threshold of time usage for which the usage rates can be updated down or up.

Has anyone noticed that under the shield power control --> apps , one can no longer set apps to "let Nvidia optimise it" . Only two option available, disabled or custom
Running the latest update
Anyone else?

How man i cant get past 4hsot in my best days
It will vary with everyone. We use our devices different. Connectivity comes into play..what apps you have..what's running in background. I average 8hrs screen time but me posting what I have done is not going to get the same results as the next person. Screen on times are great but are people actually using the device or just watching a few movies that are 1hr30min. Are they just watching YouTube videos over and over, or do they have so many things disabled what was the point to getting a flagship device. So for me I use adb app control to disable At&t bloat, use a darker wallpaper, have some apps set to not run in the background. But I do not disable a ton of stuff. But again how I use my device is not the same as the next. But a week ago I did use the crap out of the device just to see what it would do, and I did get a 9hr screen time. But again I watched a lot of YouTube
None of this means anything unless people post their settings, specifically refresh rate, resolution, brightness level (auto or other), etc.
I'm getting about the same on 5.0 as I did on 4.1. I can get 6 hours of screen on time, 1440p, 120hz, auto brightness, although I am using the extra dim feature, but auto is still checked.
If I didn't have the Facebook app I think it would be a lot better honestly but I am using it. Oh well.
That was my point everyone uses device different. I turn off 5G and use Lte because where I live it's very spotty. Brightness at about 40%

Honestly little debloating. The biggest thing on mine is I keep high refresh off and have apps that would constantly sync in the background put in deep sleep. Depending on where I'm at I'll turn off 5G. The main thing is I made sure all the T-Mobile garbage is turned off and that the actual Facebook app isn't installed. I tend to keep my brightness around ~30% as I spend the day either in my place for work, or at the gym where it isn't overly bright.
I forgot to mention I'm on an unlocked version of the phone, not a carrier variant. And every time i update my phone to a newer firmware I clear the cache. Honestly makes a huge difference.
This is me. I can not complain tbh.
27% left,only WIFI usage.
This is mine.
Power Saving on.
Full 60hz.
DNS66 full active
Routines On (Example; When I came to home, turn on WiFi, network 2g etc)
84 Application installed. 79 is deeply sleep.(except for; DNS66, WhatsApp, Telegra, Instagram, Twitter, Spotify, Firefox, Some Good Lock Apps etc)
No debloat
Dark mode on
SwiftKey dark keyboard
***S908U1***
I'm on 4th day since update to OneUi 5 and I think the S22U is still figuring things out.
100% -> 15%;
*23.5h of usage;
*5h 15min SOT;
*Mostly on WiFi, but keeping network on 5G;
*120Fhz, 1080p, adaptive brightness (but I find myself turning it down manually as it goes too bright);
*Most apps which don't trigger notifications are in deep sleep as well as location turned off for them or while on only;
*Usage mostly WhatsApp, Youtube, Instagram, Browser.
