Standby battery drain from 100% is (ridiculously) slow - anyone else observed this?

[ssj100]

I'm interested to know people's experiences regarding this - not sure if it's since the April update or not, but I've noticed "overnight drain" on 2 consecutive nights now to be unexpectedly good when starting at 100%. Over a 6-hour period (with about 2-hours having the AOD always enabled), it drops to 98-99% only!

Prior to both nights, I purposefully left the phone charging for an extra 30-60 minutes after it hit 100%, as I read some people claiming that it still charges for a while even after it displays 100%. I'm not sure if this made the difference. However, I'm actually a bit disappointed by all this, as it doesn't appear to be an accurate representation of battery % remaining.

I guess I'm coming from the S21 Ultra Exynos, where going from 100% to 99% occurs within 15 minutes of standby (with AOD enabled). With the S23 Ultra, I had observed it often taking over 2 hours for this, and since the April update, I think it's often taking over 3 hours!

I charge overnight, so it's hard to say. But I can repeat something I've said before... While it is true that some manufacturers (definitely Apple) Kinda fluff the numbers so it looks like the first percentage point lasts 4 hours, it is also worth bearing in mind that calculating a cell or battery's remaining charge is less of an exact science and more of an educated guess.

Yes I appreciate it's not an exact science, but I'd never observed this on a Samsung phone before. I've had the S7, S9+ and S21 Ultra prior to this.

It's not just the standby drain that is impressive, the overall performance of the phone and the lack of battery guzzling is phenomenal.

Havnt really paid attention to that but battery life is just crazy good

I've tested two nights with overnight not charging and I only lost 2%.. this phone is a beast with battery

Just to clarify, that was at least over 6 hours and from 100% to 98%? AOD enabled or not?

AOD enabled and about 7 hr

 

[ssj100]

AOD enabled and about 7 hr

So the AOD is always displaying during this entire 7 hours? Like it's not tap to show.

I get great battery life even with AOD enabled but it shows in battery stats big time so I reported to Samsung I suggest more do that also

From 22:30 ish to 6am overnight mine uses around 1% battery, AOD off.

I have it tap to show ... That's always the way I've run with phones

Nice ...good stuff

I've never used that keyboard hehe

Not sure if it can still drain battery without using

I don't see the keyboard in any stats using battery but who knows ...my battery is great so don't think I need to worry about it

Yeah mine doesn't come up in stats like AOD but who knows can read up on it here

Samsung confirms its Keyboard app caused One UI 5.1's battery drain issues

A Samsung community moderator confirmed that the Samsung Keyboard app was responsible for the battery drain.
