Battery drain over night on the galaxy s4??

[csrantonio]

Yesterday I went to sleep with 73% at 12, I turned off wifi, data, sync, gps and all the air gestures and killed at the apps runningbin the background and turned on battery saver. I woke up at 8 in the morning with 61%. I just got the phone 3 days ago. Is that normal?

Mine is worse... I slept at 11pm with 100% woke up at 4am with dead phone.

Why not just turn the phone off when you go to bed?

What's it doing? Is it constantly searching for signal? I know that kills my s3 in certain areas

That's a bs answer, things like this **** me off about Android. I've just moved from the iPhone world, never before did I ever have to worry about what my phone was going to do while I sleep.

Not a show stopper tho, I just leave it plugged in at night. When I do have it unplugged, your looking at minimum 10-20 % to loss. On my iphone would never loose more that 2-3 % a night.

10% battery loss over night isn't bad at all considering you were still connected to the cellular network. Turning on airplane mode to fully disconnect from the network would help.

You can optimize your battery life by monitoring if your phone is having a deep sleep (hibernated state).

Some app can awake your phone from its hibernation and do some kind of updates, check-ups or even notifications.
Those apps use "wakelock" feature to control your phone's hibernation state.

I would recommend "Wakelock detector" which is available in Google Play (just search for "wakelock")
It helps you to achieve the best idle state of your phone
