All was so good,
I was able to hold 2 days with my use (it was incredible, with my s10 I held 24h).
And, then, last update...
And now, in one night of sleep 25-30% of drain ??? Oo
What is that Samsung ? Are you aware like u destroy ur product with this... especially when you advertise about the terrific battery life of the s10 plus ?

I had my S10+ that ever had bad battery life, my s21+ looks like is much better, having 25% of drain in standby means there is an app that is causing that, when you talk about your last update, you should explain which version of firmware do you have now.
My T-Mo USA S21+ gets really great battery life. No change with the latest (AUAG) USA firmware. My S10 got very good battery life (24 Hrs +) but the S21+ (so far) gives me 2 days with MANY hours of screen on time.
Here's a partial dump of a discharge to 10%:
I'm using the exynos variant. I bought the phone on 13th Feb. The battery life is really realty bad for a 4800mah device. I was getting a expecting a decent battery life. But I'm getting like 4.5hrs SOT for 10.5 hours usage which is like half of what snapdragon verison is giving. This sucks. Should have waited for op9pro. Made a huge mistake.!!

Did you use it 60hz refresh rate ? This is insane battery life . I'm getting nowhere near this !!
I'm getting 2h SOT if I'm lucky, on AUB9.
Really wondering where those big differences between different users come from...

No, that is with Adaptive Motion Smoothness (120Hz) turned on.
I thought maybe my AOD was adding too much Screen On time, giving me a very misleading value, so in one of the tests I made i just played a few movies, and I still got hours and hours of battery life. I have no idea why there is such a variance.
Edit: So I thought of two things to mention. I run my screen brightness at about 35%. If you run yours much higher, that could effect your results significantly. If you use your phone outside a lot and it's set to automaticly adjust its brightness, that could set the screen brighness very high (for when you're outside). Also, I have bluetooth turned off.
2nd Edit: I ran another test last night and I'm surprised to report that there was no significant difference at full screen brightness versus my normal 35% brightness. I had Netflix playing for 3 hours at normal brightness followed by 3 hours at full brightness and the slope of the battery level curve is essentially the same. I'm at a lost to explain this as well as it's been my experience that screen brightness significantly affects power usage.
fwiw
My battery life seems okay but charging is very slow. I've never had so much trouble getting up to a full charge

I use it outside about 2 hrs a day. That too usage. Only for changing the song. Nothing more . I use dual sim .listen to music atleast 1 hour a day via Bluetooth. Even then what you are getting is truly amazing.

I did some tests the other night and much to my surprise turning up the screen from my usual 35% to full didn't make much of a difference.
I'm in the habit of using the "Close all" function in the recent apps screen almost all the time. Maybe that makes a difference?
I'm trying all the scenarios to reach that level of battery life but I go out for atleast 3 hrs a day. So I use my phone in mobile data as well. That also contribute. Yeah closing all applications all the time prevent unnecessary background process. That may actually help in apps like Twitter and Instagram.
Here is the latest I have managed . I removed one of the sim and used carefully . This is the best I have managed so far. But again, I use it outdoors with mobile internet for atleast an hour of screen time. 3 hours of outdoor usage . I'm still not sure if it's a good battery life but I will take it.
As a new S21+ owner I can say that I have had great battery life so far consistently getting 7.5-8 sot. This is with the latest march update.

Hi. Looking at your screenshot, it seems you are using an Indian variant. I do not want to get into specifics, but Indian networks are far more congested compared to other countries. So the modem has to work 4 times as hard compared to say the US. Also, dual sims nearly halve the standby time. So the usage you have is fine and I wouldnt worry too much about it.
Have anyone tried disable auto optimize app daily and disable adaptive battery.
Some say it really improve the battery on the previous samsung gen. I'm going to try it. And report to all of you guys.
Just came up to xda to search about anything related to battery and didn't find the solution yet.
Sometime I got a good battery like about 6 hours sot. The other day it just to bad only around 4 hours. It seems auto optimize overreacting to apps and make it closed and open daily causing a worst battery live. And the adaptive battery just seems not good at all in some report.
My best so far today, 10h of SoT doing mostly multimedia stuff. Exynos, 4G, 60Hz, April update. No power saving mode.

Fellow MT4GS users,
How is your battery lasting you? I'm coming from a MT4G, even though I eventually modded it, and it I used to get at least a full day and have to charge that night at the worst unless I really heavily used it.
My MT4GS has been lasting me half a day or so before I get into the yellow/red and I'm usually charging before the sun goes down.
My main culprit according to the built in battery indicator is display at 65% (I'm on automatic brightness)
Just over 10 hours today for me before I had to charge.
ps- Anyone know how to remove the annoying low power notifications? I'm getting two pop ups in a row.
Yeah mine generally lasts about 14 hours at moderate usage, but it's only been 2 days, and I remember when I got the MyTouch 4G it died on me while I was still at work and then after a week or so it got much better...
Yeah, I can agree with you there I think my MT4G was a little wonky the first week or so. We'll see how it goes.

Only lasting 6 hours yesterday ....
My battery lasted about 33 hours. After the 1st full charge. So way better than my other phones have done. This wasnt heavy usage though. No videos or music just a few calls, lots of emails and some web browsing.
One problem I am having is low call volume. My videos and music are perfectly loud, just the call volume sucks.

Well make sure, your phones screen brightness is on low. Also make sure wifi,gps,bluetooth are off. Also make sure you kill some of the apps you ran on a task manager. just gotta find ways to keep the battery life up.
Well when I first got the phone, I didnt charge it until it was almost dead. Then fully charged it.
Also I turned off GPS, WiFi ect. I also use task manager to kill background programs that I don't need or want running.
We will see if the battery life goes down after a few weeks. Sometimes they take time to normalize.
Oh what task you ended and what task manger you used?

I appreciate the help but the logic is off. This is the latest ..and i stress smartttphone. It is supsupposed to be used as such. Bluetooth ..4g..music...video calling..maps..etc.. if u use of of these features six hours it will last. If you use them all try maybe 4 hours. Plus those boxes are annoying when the batterly is low. This phone has got to be rooted.

I'm gonna have to agree with that one, that's pretty much no different than saying buy a car but don't drive it so you can save gas lol
I have gotten to around 12 hours or more now. Still moderate overall but heavier browser usage.
I do not kill tasks or turn off wifi, gps or anything. My brightness is auto.
I uninstalled the recent maps update because I saw where G2 users seem to think the recent update is draining their battery so I wondered if it could maybe be causing issues here too.
Anyways my battery life has gotten into the acceptable range and that was all I really did other than have more days to monitor it.
Some technical specs on the battery:
Model: BG58100
Rating: 3.7V DC
Charge Capacity: 1520mAh

This appears to be the same battery that is in the Sensation 4G according to Google.
For us this is good because Ebay and Amazon are already flooded with replacement batteries.
We need to find a higher capacity mAh battery but with the same size as to not make us have to get a replacement back. This shouldn't be that hard.
My old phone has a smaller battery with a higher mAh capacity so the battery in the myTouch 4G Slide is an utter disappointment. They could have easily produced a 3000 mAh battery for this beast of a phone.
Edit: Found a 1900 mAh battery for only 9.99.

Screen is on the least bright setting. I'm an ex blackberry user and dont even have one app. I could care less about apps. I'm charging every 5 hours and thats sometimes from just it sitting around/ not even using the phone. The thing better get it's act together. I'm starting to like the keyboard too but I'm up at 5am and if im charging at noon that's terrible. Especially with minimal use.

As I posted in my other thread, battery sucks on this phone. I had to keep wifi off all the day to keep it from dying by 6pm. Funny how 4g speed is so bad in nyc that wifi is the only other option to do something meaningful.

Weird I live in small city and 4G is crazy fast. When I get to a big city like Baltimore, Maryland the 4G was slow. My thoughts are there too many people on the 4G network. T-Mobile did promised us double the 4G speed and they need more Towers too.

For the first couple days, my battery life was awful. I'd be getting low-bat notifications when I got home from an 8-hour day at work.
But of course that's always the case with new phones that haven't even had the settings tweaked...
- Placed a Wifi toggle widget on the homepage and turn it off every day after leaving home for work in the morning.
- Ensured certain programs and updates were not running in the background automatically:
~ Turned off Autosync on accounts (manual only)
~ Turned off autoupdates for weather
~ No Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, unless turned on for a specific reason
~ Enabled power efficiency and power saver modes (30%)
~ Disabled Always-on data connection
~ Disabled auto-updates in various apps (Friendcaster, IM+ Pro, etc.)
- Turned the screen off when not in use
Today I'm at 40% after 14 hours of mixed use. I'd say that's DAMN good.
By the way, for those seeing the whole "Autosync off" thing and thinking that you can't do it, just do it. I don't get my work email or personal email on my phone unless I tell it to and it's utterly awesome. Less stress. Less looking at my phone constantly. It feels free and just plain great. And I used to be superconnected 24/7 syncing every 5 minutes (if push wasn't available).

Its insane lol Iam coming from a htc one and this easily lasts double what i got from the htc! Now i have adjusted my settings to help with battery life, I always do when i get a new phone. I turn alot of stuff off that aint being used and only turn them on if need be! None the less this is by far the best battery life i have ever experienced from a phone! It also drains consistently where as with the htc it used to drop from 100 - around 96 within a few minutes and then when it got to 30 it seemed to suddenly start draining faster! I took this off charge at 100 and left in standby for over 4 or 5 hours and it was still at 100%
I had great battery life when I first got mine. Since I updated the software, it's tanked.
I have repaired and factory reset it and i've optimised everything with battery savings, but went from 8 hours SOT and two day battery to around 6 screen on and at about 20% when I go to bed after one day.
HTC One M8 gave me around 6 hours screen on time, and lasted a day and a half.
Hoping this sorts itself out, as the screen temperature issue, speaker notification volume, and now battery life, is not enough to of justified my jumping ship :/ (Even though I really wanted it because it's waterproof) lol.
All that said, the battery life even now is excellent still.
It's not that good as some people say but still ok. I would say that maybe 20-30% better than htc one m8. This means that you can easily go through the work day but if you would be go out after the work day (partying) you would be a bit worried if the battery lasts.

I have hight demand about battery life but I'm also happy with Z3 dual. I wish it can be charge ( much ) faster by microUSB port, best could be about 2 hours.
I am actually disappointed by the battery. It's down to 80% after just an hour and a half with medium usage. How is it going to last 2 days like that? Don't know if my phone is a faulty device or I am doing something wrong. It's charging now, I will put up some screenshots if it's still bad. Everything else is perfect so the battery being bad (which should be the best thing with this phone) is making me sad :/

First charge and use,
Been unplugged for about 9.5 hours. A lot of whatsapp usage today. Battery life currently sitting at 65%. About half LTE and half WiFi.
This is a lot better than my Samsung S4, but not sure how it compares to other users.
I'm actually curious if anyone has compared the z2 and z3 battery performance in real world usage with the same usage pattern? Which has the longer sceen on time and standby time etc.

Nothing special
Could anyone tell me if this looks right? Is it good or bad? I didn't charge it overnight so ~10 hours are included in which I didn't use the phone.
Here's my battery usage the first day after I got it (charged up to full overnight before starting to use):
http://imgur.com/a/RyftP?gallery
Summary: 13.5 hours on battery, leaving me with 6%, with 8h43m+ screen on time and 3+ hours of music. Coming from a Nexus 4, I'm very very happy.
coming from LG G i'm very happy.
I'm struggling to get 4 hours of screen time before it dies after less than a day. No apps at all hogging the battery or anything like that.
Standby battery seems to be awful, even with stamina mode on blocking everything other than facebook messenger and gmail. It's losing 1% an hour, which doesn't sound bad, but my Galaxy Note 3 was draining 1% every three hours on both stock rom and Cyanogen 11. Moto G 2014 similarly does around 1% every 2-3 hours.
Standby for the most part should be represented by an almost perfectly straight line in battery stats, but on the Z3 its a constant curve downwards, much like the standby battery bug in the OnePlus One.
I'm in a full 4 bar LTE area as well, so it's not poor signal doing the damage.
The strangest of all, is the first day I had the phone it managed to get me through 2 full days easily. That included 8 hours of music streaming over bluetooth each day, and 4 hours screen time. Yesterday I was just over 3 hours screen time after 17 hours, and it was on 6% battery, including the 8 hours or so music streaming. That is exceptionally poor compared to both the Note 3 and Moto G.
But who knows, maybe disabling all the bloatware is causing issues. Either way I'll have a replacement device from amazon tomorrow which hopefully wont have the screen issues or bluetooth/wifi dropouts (thoguh I suspect that is software related).

go into your battery settings and make a screen shot
I had z2 so will offer comparison on battery. It does last longer than z2 by approx 20-30%, on my usual usage with z2 I was at approx 15% remaining by end of the day, with the z3 I'm at about 35%ish.
Heavy use and relatively bright screen.

My big excitement for 6.0 was Doze and I think many other people felt the same. So I thought I'd post my experience thus far here.
I sideloaded the US 6.0 ROM yesterday around 10AM with 67% left on my phone. At 11PM I had 27% left, usually going that long would have me somewhere around the mid teens at 11PM.
I don't have a lot of screen on time, but when it is on I'm usually playing a game (Hearthstone) or watching a video. My SoT varies between 1.5 to 2.5 hours on a normal day. I have a Moto 360 (2015) that I use for all of my notification checking and such so my phone usually sits on a desk or in a pocket. I leave GPS on high accuracy all the time and am usually running on wifi but stream Google Play music over LTE for about 2 hours while driving throughout the day.
You'd think that using a smartwatch would give me better battery life, but at least with Lollipop my battery life was actually worse when my smartwatch is synced. By about 5%
I am using the 6.0 ROM and cell standby yet again is what is using most battery.

Did you ever consider you need to give the new rom time to settle?

Maybe time will tell
Personally, I've never really noticed the settling in of a ROM, as far as battery life is concerned.
As far as the OP, I've also noticed a slight increase in battery life, particularly standby, so it seems doze is working as advertised. I'm going to leave my phone off the charger tonight and see how much juice I lose. It's usually around 10-15%.
I flashed the deodexed debloated rooted MM from the development thread last night, so far battery life is worse than TruePureX LP for me. On TruePureX LP, my idle drain is close to 0%, but now the drain is -10%/hr to -20%/hr... I wonder if the phone is doing the internal memory encryption? (I don't have an sd card inserted). Hopefully it will get better...
Battery drain was worse when I first updated to MM, but today battery use has been great. Much better standby time than lollipop.
Can I just say...my phone was at 100% at 8:50am this morning. Right now (9pm) at 33%. And it promises me it has 7 more hours in it. Coming from a Galaxy S4 where I changed battery halfway through the day, I am beyond impressed. This is better than I expected. At first didn't get into the big Doze hype, but now. Wow.
Nevermind... DERP

Pretty sure all that does is change the filter. For me, the default was "Not optimized", so it only showed the 3 apps that aren't optimized (DMService, Google Play services, and Motorola Notification). Apparently these 3 apps cannot be optimized since they all say "Battery optimization not available".
Toggling to "All apps" just switches the filter to show (you guessed it) all apps.

hahaha... that's hilarious. Derp!
Here is an update I turned off scanning in location, didn't listen to any music since I fully charged my phone. Much better battery life however I usually listen to music via bt everyday. Oh and cell standby is much better.

I'm happy with the doze effect... i get very little battery drain while its on stand by.... maybe 1 percent over 3 hours... but while using it i do see a steep drop in the battery while playing games/videos... which is fine....

Hmm...I turned scanning off as well but it didn't help with drain from Cell Standby much (probably because Im on WiFi all day anyway) but Doze seems to work now (I turned off "keep WiFi on during sleep"). I can't really complain though because I'm pretty happy with these numbers. If Cell Standby is actually reporting accurately, my battery life would be beyond phenomenal if drain from it were to be fixed.
FYI, this is on the completely stock OTA.
You get better battery life by far using LTE more often. For some this isn't an option because of tiered data but I'm unlimited. Qualcomm's.power envelope for LTE is a much more noticeable improvement on battery in the moto x. And WiFi range isn't as good as my note4. LTE on the note4 is marginally better than WiFi with power envelope tech, but still a noticeable improvement on battery. I exclusively use LTE on my note4 and moto x because of this. Less charging because I get better battery and better for the battery life long term as I'm using less charging cycles. And moto needs to hurry up on the marshmallow update. I want my band 12 activated so I can try using it again asy daily driver. The note4 is still a beast and longest I've used a phone as daily driver at 14+ months. Tmobile dropped the ball skipping the 5.1.1 update. Terrible terrible because 5.0.1 is half assed on Samsung and tmobile's part. 6.0 for marshmallow doesnt excite me because I'm still stuck on 4.4.4.because 5.0.1 is soooo bad.

The longest you've used a phone as a DD is 14 months and you're worried about the number of charging cycles you have on your MXPE? I'd understand if you're looking to get 3 years out of it.
I'm on day three, and so far it's been better for me too. Outstanding when left untouched, slightly better when using it. Doze is really that good, it's just hard to leave my phone alone long enough for it to work LOL. Performance was great for me on LP but is noticeably quicker on MM. I will say that after the initial OTA update, it wasn't what I expected so did a factory reset.. after the reset, was tons better. Beyond impressed!
I cracked 4hrs SOT for the first time since I got my MXPE thanks to MM. High accuracy location and Bluetooth on the whole time.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S10e before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Exynos S10E, Nova launcher, bixby off, dark theme, stupid apps disabled/uninstalled, looking about 6-7 hours SOT!

Playing movies and stuff will get a lot more out as well, screen is a battery sipper. CPU is a bit intense so turn on the "Medium power savings" option to down the cpu to 70%, you'll get SD845 performance which is still good, and a solid bit more battery too!
The new exynos might be faster than the S845 on paper but YouTube speed tests put them neck and neck on a good day.

If performance needs to be lowered then the battery is too small.

Is it very slight? I'm trying to go slowly from lowest to highest brightness and can't see it, maybe a sliiiight purple but mostly white..It stays white.. I'm comparing to an iPhone and the screen is a bit different in color temperature but not extremely purple or anything.

Very poor battery life
Samsung Galaxy S10E is javing very very poor battery life.
I got this device two days back. I charged it to 100% and started listening songs on Gaana.
Battery drained from 94% to 4% in 6 hours.
Gaan used 69% of battery in this time period. I diddo anything else other than listening to songs. I had LG G7 Thinq earlier. That phone used go drain max 30-40% durinf this period despite having lesser battery.
I am utterly disappointed with battery life.
Also, can anybody guide me on how to add screenshot here?
I have the SD version. My first full day of use (noting that it will take time to "settle") was pretty good! It was off the charger 3am-10pm. I plugged it back in when it hit 6%. Managed to reach 5H10M SOT, which wasn't bad - it also included 1.5 hours of gaming (Langrisser, which drains battery), Chrome, Reddit, Hangouts, etc.
Since then I have enabled Medium power savings mode and am hoping for slightly improved battery life and SOT as a result today. I already use dark theme and keep brightness around 30%. I also installed Naptime today which I hope will help further improve battery.
5 hours SOT at 15%-20%, but I have to turn on power saving when I'm at 30%-40%, battery life is not impressive it's just ok.
I feel standby time sucks a little bit, yesterday I was losing like 1% every 30 min with power saving on.
P.s.: I have one UI without any launcher and just time/temperature, notes and google calwndar widget in my home screen.
2nd p.s.: I have noticed that the s10e handles well with apps that are power consuming like Maps, Waze or Youtube.
Battery has been pretty good on my end.
You guys decide, bought the phone last week:
using Nova, bixby routine to control autosync and other components, animation x.5, night theme on ,goodlock real black notification panel with blur effect cancelled and disabled Facebook services.
P.S using exynos, s10e
Battery life is a joke on mine, maximum SOT I would get is 3 hours and my use is not even heavy, mostly on instagram and snapchat.
Night mode on
Nova
Goodlock
Bixby off
Google assistant hot word is off as well, I thought it has a hit on battery but it doesn't.
Battery usage is useless as well, it does not show what drains the battery, well it shows "Android system" as the second one after "Screen".
Thinking of getting the s10e exynos;can someone share battery usage while gaming or using navigation?
Pretty decent battery life considering the battery size. This is worth a mix of both LTE and Wifi. A typical working day.
s10e snapdragon (g9700), 20% left, 6h SoT and 24h with normal use (social networks, spotify, etc) over wifi and LTE, performance mode. Phone's still learning usage to improve battery life. It's first charge, hope to reach 7h SoT. Google app disabled btw
EDIT: added last screenshot, with 7h16min and 28h of use.
Brand new sm-g9700 s10e model.
Did a charge to 100%, and this is the result after 1st charge.
6hrs sot
39% battery left
Sensational. I'll try for 7 hrs.
Fantastic.
Made it 7hrs sot with 32% battery remaining.
Could crack 8hrs if I want to , but leave that for another time.

Everything default. (Feb software)
I have updated to the latest software update(March) yesterday.
Will post results soon, but early results suggest the processor is very fast, and battery consumption is a tad higher.
We will see.
So, I have a Exynos variant of the S10E and I'm having mixed result with battery life:
If I use my phone a lot (and I mean a lot) for example when I'm traveling i get about 6 hours of SoT which is great with a 3.100mah battery and heavy usage.
However on a regular day the phone just seems to discharge itself when in standby mode and I don't even reach 3 hours of SoT.
My setup is simple: all apps are disabled when on standby except for WhatsApp, Telegram and some e-commerce stuff and in the Battery stats "Android OS" in on top of everything (except for screen).
Are you having the same issue? Did you manage to find the cause? Let's discuss it.
This solution was posted on the S10 forum and certainly helped me.
There's a bug that stops the phone from going into a deep sleep mode post making a call (audio/video) on apps like WhatsApp, Skype et al. The solution for the time being is to reboot the phone once before going to bed. I tried a lot of other things but had a ~2% hourly standby drain which reduced to <5% overnight after figuring out this solution. I have both WiFi and Bluetooth on at night.
You may try to play around with the battery saving tweaks in ONE UI but nothing worked as well as this has. Hopefully there'll be a more practical fix to this soon.
Cheers!
Hi! Thanks for your feedback.
I have my S10E scheduled to reboot every night but this doesn't seem to fix the issue and I also don't use whatsapp/telegram voice/video calls, so I don't think is is quite the issue.
There's probably something else preventing deep sleep, but I think that waiting for an update from Samsung will be my best bet

That's interesting. There are over two dozen people on the s10 page confirming this to have solved their drain.
For how many days have you had your device? Mine took a while to understand my usage pattern
I am currently getting over 5 hours SoT over 18-20 hours now, it was ~3 hours previously.
I'm having the same issue. No video calls and still losing ~2% per hour. Restart doesn't help.
Mine too, lost 3% in under an hour sitting in my pocket doing nothing. As usual the battery stats are not much use.

There's a bug with the proximity sensor. The phone gets turned on automatically in the pocket which might cause battery drain.
BTW putting the phone on battery saver (Medium power saving) mode stops battery drain. Until we get a fix from Samsung this seems like a worthy option.

Nope. It's not only when sitting in the pocket. Basically put it on a table and the battery will drain.
There's people on the S10 forum reporting a much better battery performance after a software update (ASC8) on the Exynos S10 / S10+ (see here or here) that should fix the drain issues. Do you know if they are rolling it out also for the S10e Exynos?

It seems ASC8 has been stopped, and they are releasing ASCA. For now it has only released for Germany firmwares. Let's see what's new in this update. Regards
Same issue
I have the same problem, when phone is in use it gets great SoT of around 6 hours, but when not in use throughout the day battery still drains very quickly. I was hoping the update will fix it , but even after updating, nothing changed. Hopefully there is a solution soon.
Seems like battery drain issue was fixed in the latest update ASCA. Mine was previously draining 15% overnight. Now it only drained 4% in 8 hours!! Which is pretty amazing.
Anyone have the Hong Kong model G9700? I've noticed standby drain is quite high.
I have German ASCA version, but battery is draining awfully. I use both SIM cards and loose 25 percent half a day being in standby-mode.

Expected at least 5 hours of SOT from a phone at this price point. This is bad. Even with the second sim turned off, battery drains heavily.

I was also having pretty bad battery drain, 15% overnight. But after the ASCA update I'm getting about 5% overnight, maybe it's just my phone?
Used this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/galaxy-s10-battery-optimisation-guide-t3911988
After i made the tweaks the standby is decent compared to my OP6
I disabled bixby on the Maine screen 4 hours ago and I do have a feeling my battery od much better. Will see...
ASDA update seems to help with drainage for me.
Using 970U1 TMB version. Attached is typical usage for me last few days. I get another 6-8 hours sot average by 15% or so and about ~5% overnight drain
S10e Weird 999:MAILBOX_CP2AP Wakelock
Not sure why the "Android OS" always so high usage, I think in normal case, it should be lower than "Android System"..
And by using Battery Historian, I saw this kernel wake up, does anyone knows what's that?
I'm having a lot of RILJ_ACK_WL too.. Sigh.
