HI guys.. Before I buy the note 20 ultra I want to make sure battery drain isn't crazy. If you would please turn off bluetooth, wifi and data and only leave mobile phone on, how much battery would you drain in 12 hours? Would appreciate this feedback.
Consider a new N10+ N975U1 running on Android 10 for $800, or half that price used.
Overall a better, more dependable flapship; better form factor and display (less variable refresh rate).
Android 11 is problematic and 12 is fubar.
The N10+ running on 9 or 10 is a very functional, long lived and fun to use device. Snappy fast with 10hr SOT when optimized.

What the hell are you talking about?? Youre in the wrong forum. This is about the N20U not the N10+.

My SD variant NOTE20U has been doing pretty well. Even with instant messaging apps always running in the background, and BT earphones connected and data enabled, only ~2% of battery was consumed sleeping overnight. If those were turned off, maybe 1%?
I installed an app that can monitor real-time power draw. With some debloat and optimization, the screen on standby power draw is around 80mA of current, with some spikes to ~150mA, which is very good.

Not bad, 5G enabled, 120Hz RR, AOD off, enhanced processing speed enabled, instant messaging apps always running, and it gives me around 22hrs of total use time, ~7 hrs of SOT, ~14 hours of standby. Mainly watching videos, shopping apps, playing a few 3D games, and browsing social media.

What's the monitoring app you're using?
Hi...
With everything which You stated "ON" ( Bluetooth connected to the watch, WiFi connected, location "ON", 5G "ON" ) its draining through the night 9-10 hr about 3 % from the battery...
Hopefully that answer will help a little bit...

There are plenty of apps which supposedly save battery life majorly by real-time optimizations. The most popular seems to be Battery Doctor and Clean Master which also have very high ratings on Google Play. Does anybody use them? What's your experience on their battery impact? Do they really make any difference?
All I use is Greenify. It's an awesome app and a ton of people swear by it.
Honestly battery apps make it worse. Greenify is the exception.

I'm always running out of battery. I went dead in the first few hours today and then I used my Chromecast to watch the interview and was at 50% when I started. Screen off entire time 17% at the end. Now 15. Idk what to do about this drain. I've gotten lucky once with 4 hours screen on time though

Not sure why you'd expect good battery whilst casting. Its a massive battery drain, using wireless to send data. Especially large chunks over prolonged periods.

Run your phone until it's had a good run (80% battery used or something) and post as many gsam and android battery stats as possible in that thread. Use
tags so people dont have to load all pictures unless they want to. Make sure you go into teh battery graph in andoid and screenshot that and also into the big offenders, like screen so they can see how long things have ben running
Chromecast does not stream data from the phone unless its local media. If you want to see for yourself, stream a netflix movie and turn off your phone once it starts playing.

Guys Im coming from a stock lollipop rom on my Nexus 5 and Im looking for a STABLE rom on my nexus 5 that provides much better battery life without performance sacrifice.. Any suggestions..??
Getting fine screen on time, but bad standby time. I left my phone idle for more than 10 hours, and everything looks fine...but I'm draining more than 2% per hour doing nothing! When I use the phone normally, idle drain is closer to 3%, with still not specific problem that can be seen. On Oreo stable, it was around 1.5%, which is still bad compared to my iPhone, but not unbearable. I had no SIM installed because it was in my iPhone, but with or without makes no noticeable difference.
Advanced optimization, sleep standby optimization AND adaptive battery also make no noticeable difference in ANY combination on and off.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edit: You might also notice the VPN icon, it's not a normal VPN (with active, keep-alive connection), but a proxy for those of us living in China. Again, I've tested on or off, no difference, and you can't see it in wakelocks or processes.

I don't understand. This is 11 hours of stats idle, on my table at home, with no one touching it. This is no different from ide overnight on my bedside table except total time. I have gathered overnight stats many times with exactly the same results as what's shown here trying to figure out what's wrong.
Could also be a bad WIFI, seen this before for some 5ghz networks.
Is bbs being optimized in battery settings?
try 2.4ghz wifi if you can (where you have good connection, OR just turn wifi off, so we can rule that out the equation.)
make sure better battery stats is NOT being optimized
and try one more time.

Thanks for those suggestions. I hadn't tried switching to 2.4ghz or un-optimizing better battery stats. Unfortunately, there is no noticeable difference yet again. Turning Wifi off totally used to help a bit in Oreo, but hasn't made any difference at all in Pie.
Having the same issue too. Idle drain is fairly high on pie. Wakelocks are pretty clean too. I'm convinced it's something Google related or it's just the system isn't all that optimized as they want us to believe

Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a little better. Most people on the internet complaining about Pie drain of course has no idea how to actually check anything beyond Android stock battery stats, so there's no way to corroborate.
I noticed that beta 4 has " * Optimized standby power consumption " listed as a system fix. But I don't want to clean flash in and then clean flash out of beta yet again because all of them have had such horrible touch latency that dozens of users are complaining about. But I'm almost tempted to try it.
Can anyone on beta 4 chime in?

I'm on beta 4, first dirty flash and I had 0.3%/hour
I cleanflashed few days back,no root,locked bootloader. I loose 4% in 7hrs 30 minutes. So it's ok.. with GPS,wifi bluetooth on.
Touch latency is like stable pie.

Thanks for the feedback! But 0.3% / hour? I'm skeptical. I'm not sure that any Android phone has ever been that low draining, ever. Certainly not in my years of experience. I don't think that's possible even with no apps installed. You can't post any wakelock details because you're not rooted... Maybe post a screenshot of your battery usage graph, please?

Thanks. I feel like I'm being really lucky with this device tho.
I will get my root on today, clean flash again and I will just set it up and see where it lands. But I thought no what saves my battery the most is really good reception. The antenna is around 100meters (300 feet) from my house, WiFi is on point aswell (best on 2.4ghz)
So, like I said the bootloader got unlocked, root is on again so everything is fresh.
The smart battery didn't even have time to read apps that's draining battery this is standby usage with stock settings from OnePlus,without any optimizations. Im counting on adaptive battery that it will do its thing after a day or two.
I have around 20 apps installed but the ones that matter for battery is Telegram, instagram, steam.
U.S. Unlocked 512gb - Snap Dragon Stock Settings - FHD
The Biggest Boost to the Battery Life came from Removing the Facebook App and accessing it thru the browser instead. Still have Facebook Messenger installed. Adaptive Battery ON, Processing Speed Optimized and FHD Resolution with Motion Smoothness at Adaptive.
Another upshot with accessing FB via browser is you don't get all the ads. Which is why the FB app uses so much battery.

Weird that you brought it up. I deleted the Facebook app and started using it on the browser for that very reason. There was this Dr. Ad with a banana pic and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to go away. It kept coming back and was annoying I couldn't control it. Then after I deleted the Facebook app I noticed the battery life was way better so I did another test and hence this thread was born.

Well lets collaborate on that here? Anyway no I don't use the AOD Notify. Is that the app that makes the flashy light around the camera hole when you get a notification?
What I do is use (always on) but set to only show when notifications come in. So the screen is blank until I get a text or email then it shows up on always on display and then when I read it then it goes blank screen again. That works for me.

Yes, it's an app to blink in several ways. I use the one that a circle around the front camera hole (eco blink). The issue with aod is that you can't see if there's a notification just by taking a quick look to the camera hole without taking the phone from your pocket, right?
You need to look the whole screen to see the notifications. Aod also let you change colors according to app, so just by looking I can identify a WhatsApp message or a missed call.

If that thing flashing the whole time in your pocket until you see it then yeah I would think that would be a big battery drain. I only have one social media app and that Facebook. Then I got the basic Phone App, IP Relay App (Because I am Deaf) Text Messages App and Facebook Messenger App. Because I am now using Facebook on the browser and don't have any other social media apps that probably has a lot to do with why my battery life is 10 hours SOT and 14 hours Off. I guess it like Virgo_Guy and the others said about Social media apps being battery hogs. Also WQHD Resolution eats up battery and makes phone run hotter especially when you out in the summer heat. I noticed mine was getting a little hot the other day and switched down to FHD Resolution and it got cooler.

Well I was in a hot car when it was doing that. When your bright sun light, it's 95 degrees outside and the screen is in WQHD and at full brightness so you can see the screen it will get hot. Other than that circumstance no it doesn't get hot but it does drain the battery faster. It's a fact of life. The higher the resolution the more the drain. Mines on adaptive.

Ok, I'll agree with you there. I'm in Texas and the heat/sun is insufferable so if I'm going to look at my phone outside I'm finding some shade 1st!
I still can't understand how you all get 6, 7 or 10 hours of SOT.
I went through all the guides and disabled every nonsense, configured bixby routines to go to power saving in certain situations etc.. And still at the end of the day I'm close to zero battery with just 3-4 hours of SOT at best.
Are you just watching youtube the whole day connected to wifi or what? No LTE? No BT? No Location? Low brightnes? No games? No camera?
And I'm not blaming S22 Ultra. That happened to every Galaxy Note I had in the past (no more than 3-4hrs of SOT).

I used LTE and 5G for mobile. Had it on all day. But was mostly at home or work and streaming over WiFi connections. Processing Speed is set to Optimized and using Adaptive Battery. Power saving is off. But I'm not a gamer so the settings in Game Launcher are still at standard optimization and Alternative Game Performance Management is disabled. So pretty much the stock Settings. I also only have one social media app and I access that (Facebook) thru the browser although Messenger App is still installed. I think social media apps cause a big drain on the phone. The other thing I have is the Resolution set to FHD instead of WQHD.
Also don't have my Netflix, HBOmax, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+ installed on Phone as I watch those on my Galaxy Tab 7+ or the TV.
So basically I am just using the phone For Texting, YouTube, Browser, Camera etc. Things that don't use a lot of power such as Gaming, Social Media etc. If your a heavy gamer and got 5 or 6 social media apps on your phone your results are going to be drastically different especially if you got the Exynos version.
If you have Facebook installed that's a huge battery drain cause of all the ads. Try uninstalling some of your social media apps that can be accessed thru the browser and see how that goes. And when you not gaming try settings of optimized and standard instead of maximum.

Those are really incredible SoT you got there. Mine is about 8h.
It is enough, but we always want more hahaha. How are your sleeping apps config? Do you put everything in deep sleep?
I noticed there are apps. like Find My Mobile, that always appears on the list when I use Device care. Do you do something about those background apps?
@bat0nas I'm doing almost nothing... I keep Bt and location on, 120 Hz screen. The only thing that I'm doing to get more battery is using "Put unused apps to sleep" setting, which I don't even know how much battery it saves. Oh, and adaptative battery.
EDIT: Paul_Deemer , my settings are basically the same as yours. But I stay a LOT more in LTE than wifi, since I'm working presentially and only turn on wi-fi at night when I got home. I dont use social media other than Whatsapp and Instagram. I don't game often. If I do game or use too much camera one day it will probably not last that long.
The aodNotify app and aod consumes about 1,5-2% each every day. It's 3-5% total, which isn't much, but could be better.
Location is on for me but I turned Bluetooth off when it's not needed like when phone is connected to the car. Rest of time it's off. Don't see Find my Mobile using power and it not disabled so maybe the auto settings putting it to sleep I dunno. Considering how much Mobile time your using during the day with no WiFi available like me at work and that you have two social media apps installed and are occasionally gaming I think you SOT is about as good as it gonna get. I wouldn't be unhappy with your SOT based on your usage patterns.

Well, I seldom game, and when I do is for about 20-30min tops. However i do stay at LTE for almost the whole day. Is there much difference between using LTE and Wifi?
If you count discord and telegram as social media, then I have 4, lol. But I don't use them as much as Whatsapp and Instagram. Indeed, Find My Mobile isn't in the usage list.
I'd like to know how much battery is consumed when screen is off, but I'm not sure settings can do that. Do I need an app for that?
I saw this little quote on the web and it fits with what people are saying about 5g being a battery hog. Not using any special apps for battery management . There are plenty available though. Just do a search on Google.
You may notice that your phone's battery drains faster than usual while you are connected to a 5G network. This is a limitation of the current 5G networks, and will be improved as the networks expand.
Oh one other important thing to note. When I did that test above that was with Protect Battery Off. Meaning it went from a Full 100% Charge down to 10%. I now have it back to Protect Battery which means it only charging to 85%. So naturally you gonna lose a bunch of time with it not charging to the full 100%.
Hi. What kind of battery consumption do you have overnight?
On custom Roms plus like Battery Guru - anywhere around .3%-.5% idling. But even on like Beta + battery guru it's about .5-.8%. Straight beta with no root etc - about 1 - 1.5% - so android has it locked in pretty good imo.

Is that per hour, or total?
I saw this thread last night before bed and decided to check for myself. Phone was 63% @ 10:30 and 59% @ 7:30, so 4% for ~ 9 hours of standby (about 0.45% / hour).
Probably not the typical user, I have zero social media installed and get few texts overnight. I had only one this morning, spam about my Amazon account being locked (yeah, right). The only app that always runs in the background is an email program that checks two POP3 accounts every 15 minutes.
Stock, rooted, running Lawnchair 12 launcher.

Yeah - per hour. Some of that doesn't really translate because you use lawnchair and I might not, you might root and I may not etc etc.
The real comparison is from stock to roms etc.

Which is why I mentioned the things I thought relevant to create potential differences. There are probably more, but I would imagine they have diminishing impact on battery drain.
Normal drain on any build should be ~0.4-0.6%/hr. AOD will bump that to ~1-1.5%/hr. Anything more than that and you have something going on with an app, setting, or something else.
At my place, the consumption is 4% from 11 pm to 6 am. Is it possible to go lower? My Nord 2 used 2% max for the same amount of time. Often it was 1%.

When I get super low readings - sometimes like 2% drain over 10 hours...I tend to think it's more of an estimate that's skewed. I don't think in reality I'm ever really getting it that low.
The above averages are about right.
Maybe we need a 'rooted w/ batt tweaks' thread too...be interesting to see how much can be shaved off with various settings 'tactics'.
In Nord 2 in OxygenOs there is an option to additionally reduce the phone's activity during sleep. The phone then does not respond as often to notification detection. Maybe that's where the 2% results come from.
I get about .3-.5%/hour overnight on @stebomurkn420's crDroid.
3-5% per hour?

No, point 3 - point 5%/hour.
0.3-0.5%/hour
Good result. There are some special settings in crdroid regarding battery saving?

How about high standby battery usage because of bad cellular connectivity? Can anything be done about that? Airplane mode?

Not that I know of. It's just very well optimized.

Turn off cell data always active. If the screen is off it should sleep regardless of the signal.
There's a ton of apps that help with battery life and I like battery guru personally...but honestly, I tried just keeping my phone in battery saver mode and didn't see a difference in performance. I don't use it for gaming etc. so I'm pretty low tech...but just that was pretty killer if I remember.

So then when would my notifications come through? Only if I wake the phone, or does it still check for notifications every 5-10-whatever minutes?

That will be app specific. If you live on low signal cellular only (ie no WiFi) then just expect bad battery with this phone. The modem in these is inexcusably bad.
Anyone else experiencing huge Phone Idle battery drain? Prior to the March update it was around 2ish%, now it's averaging 12-15%
Idle drain and battery is crap,also has Nexus 5X and battery was also bad.
7 pro battery drain
In last few days I noticed battery drain. And as well I think it started same time I noticed screen flickering when in battery settings. Video explaining attached. As you can see its fine until I get deeper into settings then "system operacyjny...

Yes. mine was 4% over night with Bluetooth off. During the day it was very bad, with BT on. Tonight I'll go to bed @100% with BT on and see how it is. In the past, Blutooth was a major wakelock on this phone

Prior to the March update my battery was pretty good
For me it's still super good, using it often enough, start with 90, go to bed with 50-70% depending how much I used it (where with 50% it was a lot!)
I do have all the wiz disabled plus a load of google stuff.
I stumbled onto AccuBattery Pro and am glad it spells out discharge rate in percentages. Yaa... Camera is the most at 17%/H. Next is the Phone at 5.6%/H. Sitting near wi-fi most of the time, I suppose I cheat the phone's ugliness. And I just turn mobile data off with Better Internet Tiles. Now days I sit at home a lot and the cell towers are far away and crap. Damn. At work at the credit union, the cell tower was actually on the roof !

What? Did u voice type that? That makes no sense. What r u doing to get good battery life?
Idle drain here is about 0.6 %/h, satisfying enough for me. Nothing tinkered everything on stock. I just don't use AoD. WiFi and two SIM cards always active, no flight mode. Don't need Bluetooth hence off as well.
And of course no snake oil like Naptime.
Cheers

Disabled everything I don't need. Use as little apps as needed. No gaming except Wordfeud ;}
Lots of Chrome use though, covers most of my needs.

The AI stuff that Google added. Switching most of that off saves quite a bit of juice.

Like what specifically?
Adaptive battery off
Smooth display off
Live translate off
Digital assistant off
Covid notifications off
Disable all unneeded apps (ymmv)
Etc
Or leave all that stuff turned on and use Naptime... It's quite useful unlike most battery apps.

I always worry about Apps where the latest reviews are 3 years old
Agreed, but it works - even though the last release was 2 years ago...

May as well get a iPhone turning all the Google off lol
I just did a short test result of my P7P (running AncientOS) using Naptime+
Without it, i would have lost ~2% in the same time.
