Battery

[shoaib shah]

My battery stats after a week of using it to see if it got use to my daily usage. Looks good:

I'm going to have to do an overnight drain. I usually charge while I'm sleeping.. I think 10% is kinda high. I would think Max 5% or so overnight... I have to say though my battery has been good. I can definitely do 6 hours. SOT depending on what I'm doing and that includes using AA.. I've not shut off the 5G but we'll have to test that as well..

So I usually charge overnight and my phone has been great on battery and stuff but I decided last night while I was watching a movie to charge the phone before I went to sleep I got it charged to 92% then turn on DND... not working this week so I slept in a little later and 9 hours and 20 minutes later I see it at 74%.. Hmmm now to troubleshoot haha

Wow! That's even higher than I'm averaging LOL You using a smartwatch or have anything else paired?

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. It had a software update yesterday and the required plug-in app and Samsung Health updated on the Play Store. Samsung Health is always high on my battery usage so hoping these updates help ... we shall see.

I don't have anything paired except my buds but I think maybe it was a one-off last night but I'm going to test some more because after I charged it this morning it stayed at 100% for the for a good amount of time and I left it low usage and it seemed to drain normal so I have to do more testing

I had my Pixel 5 on the charging stand once and it wasn't centered so it didn't charge. Wasn't off by much but I guess it was enough to disrupt the charing.

Perhaps the update they just pushed will help with battery (amongst some other things)

I gotta say that after following JR Raphael's suggestion to keep wi-fi on all the time (instead of relying primarily on mobile data), my battery life has been great. I don't think it's dropped below 70% by the end of the day now. Before, when I would keep wi-fi off, I noticed Mobile Network Standby would use up to 25% of battery, even with fairly average signal strength. So I don't know if this was an issue with cell signal actually being worse than what's shown on the phone, or if there's some odd bug that makes Mobile Network Standby work too hard when wi-fi is off.

I never toggle off WiFi ... I used to way back in the day when I left home, but nowadays I just leave it on.

I did another overnight drain test and averaged 1%/hour drop, which I don't think is bad at all. Not sure if it's the update Google pushed, a lot of my apps recently updating on the Play Store (perhaps getting more optimized for Android 12??) or a combination of both, but I'll take improvement from anywhere

Good battery day today

I find this pretty abysmal, honestly. Woke up, took phone off charger, checked a few emails and did some random website surfing and then got ready for work. Phone was in my pocket all day long ... no music playing in the background or anything. Just connected to my Galaxy Watch Active 2. Almost 20% lost with not even 10 minutes SOT in about 6.5 hours / 3% drain per hour?! This is barley better than what I was getting with my 3 years old Pixel 3.

Definitely not good ..you can try to unpair the watch to see if maybe an issue with a new phone and watch combo ..

Yeah ... Even though I didn't restore any apps or data on initial setup, I may try a factory reset over the extended weekend and omit any and all apps associated with my GWA2 and see how things go.

It's worth a shot for troubleshooting.... Hopefully you could zero in on what is causing the excess battery drain

I guess GSAM decided to take Friday off. Oh well lol

Is 5G on or off? If it's on, try turning it off (if possible on your phone).

Also, check the Settings>Battery menu in the phone's own system settings. Look in Battery Usage, then tap the System Usage. How much Mobile Network Standby do you see?

I do have 5G turned on ... I find with it on I'm getting better signal in areas where LTE was very weak for me. Admittedly I really only benefit from this on one location so I suppose I can just toggle 5G on when there/needed.

Here's what I have for Mobile Network Standby:

What's the percentage of battery usage for Mobile Network Standby?
