Screen causing battery to discharge a lot even when screen is off?

[Visunnn]

Hey guys, so I'm a big guy on battery life for my phone (Moto G Power 2020) and it's been working fine until recently. I've been noticing my battery life depleting much quicker than it usually does. I checked GSAM and found out that my screen is a huge part of my battery life, even when off! Anyone know a fix to this? Help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Android Central! It might have to do with Moto's Peek Display -- try turning that off if you don't use it: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/148679

Thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that I'm on a custom ROM, Havoc OS, and that option isn't displayed. I don't think it's the ROM causing the battery to die though, as I've had it for a while and it never did this.

Ok, it's always hard to say when it comes to custom ROMs. You could try flashing back to the stock ROM and see if the drain persists.

I run havoc os too and don't have that problem. Make sure you have the latest havoc. You might just have to go through all your settings and installed apps. Check ambient display always on, turn on kill background processes when idle, look for screen timeout setting, maybe it's set too long. It could be an app causing your phone to not sleep.
