I've had my HTC U11 Smartphone running Android 8.0 for a little over a year now, and one of the things that I've enjoyed most about it was its incredible battery performance. It has a rapid charging system via a USB Type-C connector, and after a full charge and normal use, I ALWAYS get at least two days use out of my battery, and that is with letting it drop to 18% to 15% before I stick it back on charge again. I also always keep my phone on Energy Saver mode.
Well, just up until about four days ago, I've noticed an unusual drop in battery life, and my battery performance has literally dropped in half, and this also very noticeable even on standby when my phone is not in use. When I go to sleep, even with the phone on Energy Saver, it drains very quickly, and probably loses about 10% or even a little more by the time I wake up again. Before, if I lost 3 to 4% during sleep, that was a lot.
I've done many troubleshooting steps myself, and of course the first obvious one was to see any apps draining at an unusual rate in the battery statistics section of settings. I've even disabled apps which I've recently installed to see if that was the issue. However, when you observe the battery statistics, at the top of the list is Mobile Network Standby followed by the Android System. Here is a screenshot that I just took of that:
I've also shut my phone off totally for several minutes and turned it back on again a few times since I've been having this issue to see that maybe something would clear itself out/reset any glitches. With these Android phones over the years, I've learned to do that when things start acting up all of a sudden, and it usually helps clear the issue, but with this it does not. I'm starting to think that maybe the battery has just hit its optimum lifespan, but normally you notice a gradual decline once that starts happening, not so suddenly like this.
Any input/help would be greatly appreciated.
