Battery Drain - Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,
I purchased my Note 10 a month ago. Since I purchased, I am experiencing heavy battery drain at night. Almost 40-50% juice is consumed. I am keeping wifi, mobile network, blutooth and sync off.
Is there any problem with my mobile?
Thanks in advance.

40% standby drain is definitely abnormal, most likely due to a rogue app consuming battery in the background. Install GSam Battery Monitor, run the following adb command to enable a detailed list of battery usage:
adb shell pm grant com.gsamlabs.bbm android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
and see what is consuming battery in the background.

Hi,
Thanks for help. I did found one app which was consuming battery. After disabling it, the power consumption reduced to nearly 25%. Is this normal now? I got 22 hours of battery life yesterday. Attached is the screen shot of battery drain pattern.

25% drain overnight is still way too much, and even though Google Play Services was active for 7.5 hours, it doesn't drain a lot of battery. My overnight drain is ~3%. You still have something consuming a lot of battery in the background. I don't use WhatsApp, so I don't know how much battery it typically uses. But something is definitely not right. If you can't pinpoint what is using so much battery, then do a factory reset and install GSam Battery Monitor but nothing else. Use the phone stock (without any additional apps) for a couple of days and see what your baseline battery drain is. Then install your regular apps one at a time and see how each one affects battery drain. You'll be able to identify which app is causing the problem.

Hi Sublimaze,
I found some more apps which were running in background for no reason. Now the battery drain at night is near to 5% only. I can blame fluctuating network signal in my area for this.
Thanks,
Shaggy

App that can record battery status

I need an app which can record battery status against time and also tell me what has caused the drain at a particular point of time. Is there any ? Please advise.
I need that as I am facing a weird issue where my battery drains till 60 normally and after that it suddenly falls to 30 and from then again it goes on normally . It happened twice and I am worried about what is causing this ..... any idea ?
Battery Graph will display battery usage but as far as i'm aware it won't tell you what app etc...
I think there is one called Juice Plotter although I'm not sure how much more information that will give.
The stock Battery Usage thing in the Settings/Status will help with what percentage of the battery has been used up until that point. e.g. if you are on 60% then it will display a percentage of that 40% that app has used.
e.g. 25% (screen), 10% (cell standby) etc etc!

just factory reset'ed , still terrible battery drain ;(

Hi, I was experiencing some Terrible battery drains , so I factory reset the phone in hopes of fixing the issue. Running the bare minimum apps, and I'm.still getting 1% drain every 3 minutes. Specially when I'm merely listening to music. on the 1 hour commute this morning I lost 15% battery.
I'm on stock rogers 1.94 firmware.
I ran carat for the past month before the reset and it couldn't identify the cause.
tried to unlock bootloader in order to flash a Rom, but got confused and gave up haha
can you guys help me out,
thanks
Are you listening to the music in the cloud (Pandora, spotify etc)? Better battery stats is a great way to see what's going on. Do you have facebook/twitter set to push all updates or auto refresh in the background?

Battery readings right after a factory reset are not representative as the battery meter is now not calibrated. Charge the phone to 100%, leave it on the charger for a while to ensure any topoff charge. Then drain the battery to 10-20%, repeat a couple times to calibrate the battery meter. Then see if you are still getting fast battery drain.

Hey, I turned off all sync except for contacts and calendar. Disabled Twitter completely and turned off facebook refreshing.

you're right, I will report back after a few charge cycles
Will it be possible the drain relates to kernel?

Its always possible. Folks on here like to swap kernels, in hope of increasing battery life (even aside from governers and underclocking) But I've personally never noticed a huge change in battery drain just from swapping kernels. I'd try a different radio first. But the OP is still stock, so they might be looking for less invasive solutions.
Could some Rogers bloatware be causing some of the drain? I don't know what they put in there. But AT&T bloatware has often been blamed for big background data use and therefore battery drain.

Standby drain

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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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.

Battery drain issue

Is it me or when screen is off this phone still drain noticable amount of battery like 5% in 3:30hrs. P. S. No app is running in background. The battery usage shows xiaomi service framework and google taking 20% of battery total.
Edit : just saw on standby mode - radio battery drain is using up my battery, any fix for this?
I was also getting a 7 - 8% overnight battery drain which was unacceptable, however, I used the adb debloat tools to remove most of the shady systen apps that xiaomi pre-installs on the device and after that the drain doesn't happen at all. My phone sleeps like a baby with only 1 - 2 % drain overnight.
You should check out this thread.
Is there a way to determine which miui tools are the ones draining the battery?

Big Overnight Battery Drain

The first screenshot is my battery life and as you can see Doze was applied but it still drained 10% in 8 hours. In the second screenshot of Better Battery Stats, it shows I have a lot of the phone being awake while the screen is off.
How can I figure out what is causing it to be awake and fix it?
Please let me know if you need other sections of battery stats or anything. Thanks

same things , im on on 10.3. it was pretty good during fresh install like 2 % in 6-7 hr. now 10% overnight drain everything off
PlusBeat installed? Had the same issue. No drain with it under 9, high drain under 10. BBS did not show this app. Found it only after freezing one app after another.
I really can't understand how you guys end up with these drains. Since I rooted I've taken about 7 updates to 10.0.2 , never wiped my phone and never encounter that type of idle drain. Check my screenshot it shows 0% drain in 6hrs with only 10% deep sleep which makes no sense at all. What's crazy is im trying to perform a battery test to get to 10hrs SOT with regular use but my uptime won't be accounted for in the battery menu because it starts calculating after you lose one percent. Thus the discrepancy in the screenshots
Some app is preventing your device from going into deep sleep. Facebook was the culprit for me.
Do you have a custom kernel installed? Something changed in a recent update & there's a service that goes haywire if you have a custom kernel & keeps one CPU core at 100% constantly. I found it in system logs as "vendor.oneplus.hardware.brain". My idle drain was over 4%/hr till I figured it out. See this post for how to stop it:
