Battery life concern. Is this normal?

[Lecrae116]

I've had my sprint note 10+ for about 3 weeks now and this is my usage. 90% of the time other than spotify on the way to work my phone has been in my pocket constantly with little to no notifications.

Are you on LTE or wifi more? If you have poor LTE signal in your area with Sprint, which it looks like you may from your screenshot, that could be your issue.

Tower is down but does anything else look out of line?

One of the screenshots is too pixelated to see, but in the other one nothing seems too out of whack percentage wise. I do see that something is actively using your location. How often and how long does location active show in your status bar? Maybe Nexar or some other app is constantly uploading location to its servers in the background.

Yeah, nothing looks too out of whack, so I'd definitely think it's related to weak signal more than anything. That's usually the cause when there isn't a rogue app going nuts.

So your saying all my apps/services appear aren't going rogue including Google play services?

Idk, I don’t have a 10+ anymore and was thinking about getting one again but not after this. Bad signal and 7h 35mins on battery and it’s down to 38%???? Seriously? That’s pathetic. Question is do you have VoLTR on sprint? If not then it could be possible but that’s just crazy quick drop in battery. My note 8 does NOT do that.

Google Play Services is used by apps to activate your GPS. I'm not too familiar with Nexar, but according to the description in the Play Store is saves your route. If so, that may be why it's in an Active state longer.
Also I don't have Sprint so I can't search for it, but go into settings and search "diagnostics." If Sprint has a diagnostics tool, turn it off. It should be in the Mobile Networks section of settings.

That is turned OFF already. I've got my phone to manually stay in medium power saver mode all day.

Where do I go to see what's running in the background? Yes, I have VOLTE enabled.

I thought my N10+ was the worse. Yours is way worse. I suspect Facebook and weak signal.

If it's running you should see it on the battery list but it's a shame it's not accurate. Idk why they just cant get android right...

Don't judge off one person battery stat, as it will vary from person to person how they use the phone . If I see a pattern like 50 people on Note 10+ with battery drain then I'd be worried about getting that device. Something definitely going on with OP phone. So what I'm saying is don't be scared from one stat someone else has and make you rethink a device .

On medium power save you should definitely have better stats... download gsam battery app and look at more things going on
