I took the phone of the charger at 7am this morning, it had the green LED on and said 100% so it was charged. I sat it on the window cill and never looked at it, Went out at 11am and checked the phone at 11.30 it said 4% and had a critically low warning. I said this can't be right, rebooted the phone thinking battery readings must be wrong, it restarted at 2% and then turned off.
Now what the hell could of caused this, I am using an Anker battery less than a month old. I have noticed in the past if I leave an app open such as a twitter client and lock the phone without closing the app it doesn't sleep like it should and eats battery, and this is what I did this AM, checked twitter, locked the phone took it of the charger and thought no more about it.
So the question is why when I lock the phone do apps not sleep like they should? Auto sync is off etc, and secondly when I connect this phone to a charger how exactly do I find what killed my battery the last time?
I should add although this is an exteme example without putting my phone in airplane mode half the day I will not make it through the day which is pretty dire for a phone.
Ok I have found out my stats, I challenge anyone to beat this.
3hrs 34min on battery with 2 mins screen on time and I was flat.
Android OS 72% is the battery killer. Phone is obviously not sleeping. Anyone any ideas?
If I play games on airplane mode and on lowest brightness, my battery lasts 1 hour. It's the original battery and I'm going to buy a new one soon

I just got an Android Wear watch and switched from a Gear 2 Neo to the Gear Live. Battery life was pretty good with the Gear2 with my hate for battery to be below 50%, I could get to about 8pm and stay usually no less than 40%. Yesterday, my battery life was horrible! I paired my Gear Live and everything seemed fine. Later that night, my phone was taking a very long time to charge, like 5 hours from 36% to full. I got it to 80% and went to sleep. I woke up and my phone was dead! This has never happened before, so I plugged it up, turned it on, went to GSam and it said Kernel was using 60% of the battery with like 1.5 hours of CPU usage. I unpaired my watch and phone, and even turned off wifi on my watch to try and prevent any communication with the watch and phone, and my phone went from needing 5 hours to charge to the usual 1.5 hours. I unplugged my phone this morning at like 9:30 and at 2:20 it's at 50%. I disabled Google Fit, but don't know what else to do! Has anyone else had this issue?
Nope. I have G Watch R paired with G Flex 2 and battery life on both devices is normal and charging time is same. I dont know what causes your problem,but i would do following: Firstly i would reset watch and pair them again (in settings do Factory reset) and if that isnt working,reinstall Android Wear and if not,the worst scenario is to do reset of phone. I cant tell more,fortunately nothing like this happened to me.
Thanks for your help. I tried reinstalling the wear app and found a way to disable Fit there when pairing and battery life seems okay.

The reason why it don't show i unplugged phone around 2:30 am after that i went right back to bed and just woke up now , so thats normal will not show apps since phone wasn't touched till i got up, once you start using phone and apps then it will start showing apps being used!

My battery drain overnight is minimal, 8 hours off the plug on a full charge is 4-6 per cent.

So before you stop using phone for night do you close all apps in background for them not to show or just leave it?thanks for info
I'm having a battery issue as well. I had my phone on the car charger for 5 hours and it showed that it was charging but my phone dropped to 6%. There were no apps running in the background and I restarted the phone.
My T-Mobile variant S8+ seldom has more than a 4% drop after being fully charged and sitting on desk for 8-9 hours. I've disabled Bixby and several other services.

I've had a couple of instances when the battery would not charge when plugged is. Showd as quick charging, but no increase in percent battery charge. Rebooting fixed it for me both times.
Sent telepathically
I usually charge my phones overnight, but in the one instance that I left it unplugged, I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to 100%. Not a single percent dropped. It's worth mentioning that I turned the phone over so that AOD would shut off.
i've been having issues as well. it has been draining 20-40% overnight lately. i got gsam with advanced stats on and have been removing stuff... i'm not quite sure what the culprit is, but i think it might be dt ignite so i disabled that.

You need to identify the what the wake-locks are that are causing the battery drain. Install BetterBatteryStats, charge your phone right before bedtime, then leave it overnight to collect data. Post a screenshot of BetterBatteryStats when you wakeup the next morning.
i have the same problem with my galaxy S8 i lose overnight between 10 and 20 %.. before this problem i lost 1 to 3% overnight and now it has been a week that i have this problem of loosing 10 to 20% :/
I have my Wi-Fi off, phone face down so Aod is turned off. Location is on power saving mode. Optimised settings ,fhd+. Still I lose more than 10% overnight. What should I do to reduce this drain ?? I am getting a great battery life otherwise on my note 8. About 6 to 7hrs of Sot with about 18 hrs total.
I`m getting 2% drain over 8 hours of sleep with AOD off , wifi on or off it`s the same 2%, location always on on power saving mode.
hi,
i've a Huawei Watch 2 LTE, since 2 days i've an insane battery drain, I did a factory reset, I connected the Watch back to the phone and leave it in airplane mode, here the battery usage in the attach
any suggestion?
thanks
Fabio
I have a Huawei Watch 2 and am having the same issue. I used to get almost 2 days use with the screen in "always on" mode then a little over a week ago it abruptly started draining the battery in 2-4 hours depending on the power saving modes I used. I have gone through all the usual remedied (factory reset etc.) without effect.
I fully charged it and just left it on the night stand just out of curiosity and it used 20% in 24 hours.
I would really like to know if any one has any clue what happened, software update or otherwise, to have caused this. I really love this watch and have become quite dependent :'(
I bought a battery replacment, i will install next days...i tried also some custom rom, all day with airplane mode, in 10 hours, battery 5% left....
I am totally in love with my GW4 (Classic 46mm Model) as it's my first smartwatch but there is still one thing that bothers me, the unreasonable battery drain overnight. I charged up my watch last night, put the watch on my desk, came back in the morning and saw about 10% battery drain in 8 hours! That's insane considering the fact that I've disabled everything and even enabled battery saver, I thought after all these years I can finally get a full fledged Wear OS smartwatch and be happy with the battery but Wear OS is still the same OS as it was.
I've got the same issue. I thought it was the sleep tracking but I was wrong
And the funny fact is that the battery life is reasonably good when you actually using the watch, but as soon as you put it away it starts to drink juice weirdly, looks like there is no deep sleep kicking in no matter what, even disabling everything and enabling airplane mode.

Which version/size do you have? How many times have you fully charged the watch? I have Classic 46mm. My battery drains 4 -6 % during the night. I have watch on my wrist when I sleep. I always put watch into bedtime mode before I go to bed. I don't disable anything or put on power saving mode. I think the bedtime mode simply turns off notifications and stops watch face from automatically turning on.

Oh sorry for not mentioning it, It's the same as yours classic 46mm. I have the watch for almost 1 week now but I always charge it whenever it gets to 50% so it's a half cycle charge. Do you think I should let it fully discharged and recharge it for a full cycle?
I have the non classic 44mm LTE and I have always used bedtime mode and I've tried nothing all the way to disabling everything and enabling battery saver and still lose quite a bit at night

It seems to me that the battery lasted longer after doing some full cycle charges but I could be wrong. I definitely have seen improvement in battery life since the first few days I had watch. Not sure what it is.

How do you know it was not sleep tracking?
For me, I went to bed yesterday with almost 100% battery. The overnight drain was 15%, flight mode enabled, good night mode enabled and spO2 while sleeping on.
My watch is 40mm, BT modell.
Tonight I will try only the automatic good night mode.
What about Bluetooth when my phone is in airplane mode? Will it consume more battery searching for the device? My wifi will also be disabled in the night...
I am seeing this same thing
13% drain with airplane mode, good night mode, and battery saver modes on.
13-14% drain with battery saver mode and good night mode on.
This is for an 8 hour window.
Using the watch during the day, the battery does seem to last longer and I don't see the drain, even when using it to track workouts and such.
Last night my battery used 11%. I'm not sure what the difference is. I know I have been in the 4-6% range in the past but I always do not pay attention. Possibly related to how fully charged the watch is. Why do we think 10% is bad? I did a search on-line and I have to say that 10% seems very good compared to some other watches. The reality for me as that I'm typically getting 2 days plus on a charge unless I'm heavy on GPS. Currently I'm at 50% and I charged the watch 1 day and 9 hours ago. I came from a GW1 which had significantly more battery time but I'm still very happy with the GW4.
My drain is 20% overnight - despite watch being in bedtime mode.

If your watch is on your desk and turned on, it's constantly searching for your wrist. If you are not wearing it, turn it off.
I have the same issue about battery drain.
I lose between 15-20% each night with everything off (no SpO2, no snoring, etc)
I have the LTE 46 classic model
But based on people and comments I'm guessing the issue comes because I'm not using a Samsung phone and bed time is not synced with the watch and is still "online" all the night
Geez I thought my 3-5 percent drain was horrible. I have the 44mm Bluetooth only model. The first night it drained horrible but I had every sensor on. I noticed I got much better battery after disabling location. I've had mine paired since 7am this morning (it's now 3pm) responding to texts, wifi on and using Spotify on it at 75 percent brightness and it's at 79 percent now. Maybe I got lucky or something? The only sensors I have are the step counter as well as heart rate when resting more than 10 minutes and I never like to use battery saver mode on mine
Second night and I got about 20% drain overnight with everything turned on. I got a similar battery consumption like adj998. Spotify on first place.
I will try do disable GPS tonight and see if anything changes, but I guess it's a normal behaviour. One thing I could try is to turn the spO2 sensor off.
Read somewhere that unlocked ADB is the culprit. So I have unlocked it.
Let me watch how it helps my 20% overnight drain.

Interesting. I'm betting that this drain is related to certain apps as well. When I did my post yesterday about the 11% drain the previous night I noticed the Altimeter app was listed at 4.5%. I immediately uninstalled this app. I had used it once the previous day and apparently it was still using battery. Results: much battery time last night. I would say 3%. In fact, when I looked earlier this morning I still had 41% battery. Yesterday morning I was at 50%. 25 hours and 9% battery used. I have not been very active these last couple days (long days at work). Still putting in about 5,000 steps a day. I have notifications on (gmail, texts, meesenger), use bedtime mode, spO2 sensor off, and do not have watch always on.

Read on Reddit that altimeter drain was a known issue, in earlier models as well.
With people that are having excessive battery drain on their watch: are there any apps which are listed in Wear app -> Watch settings -> Battery that seem like a high percent of battery usage?

Actually yeah, for me it's Spotify. I installed it and connected it to my account but did not use it...
