Hi, how do you restrict background use of battery?
you just go to settings and then to apps and you click on each app and you click battery restriction and/or data usage most of the apps or some of them will allow for background data restriction and battery restriction or you can download the app that I mentioned above

Oh I see it, thank you.

I've tried many ways to eliminate the standby battery drain, which includes:
- Using Greenify & Naptime
- Disabling system apps & services via ADB
- Resetting the device without restoring settings and apps
- Installing apps in a sandbox using Island app, so they can be frozen with a single tap and be used whenever I wanted to use them

Neither of the above helped with the battery drain overnight of around 10% and while not using the phone, nor with SOT that is not exceeding 3.5 hours.

What percent of battery drain per hour should i expect when my phone is idle? For example according to battery historian i am loosing 0.84% per hour should it be lower than that? for 9 hours of sleep i loose around 8%.
Wifi always on
AoD on touch
Sync off

I lose around 8% to 10% as well, with 4g, wifi, sync on.

Using CCSW did not help with the standby drain at all, however, in terms of performance, it literally flies now.

Same issue.

Idle drain on 4G is just not acceptable. I've struggled.

12 hours in battery yesterday, less than 2.5 hours of screen time. The battery line was more or less diagonal from top left to bottom right.

Think I'll have to look at getting rid of this I think

Maybe early - but enyone with Exynos on the 24-Sep update (...ASIG) and can share battery (drain) experience?
Thank you!
I flashed it with Odin the other day (I was on ASH1) and I haven't noticed any difference yet but I will monitor it. Btw my battery life was poor in the first 2 or 3 weeks after buying the phone but did a few tweaks and also I think the phone get used to my usage and I'm satisfied with it.

Thanks for this. I am interested in the overnight drain specifically. How much % lost you get - after you apply all your tweaks?
10% or more?

P.S. I am still on Feb update. Modded with AppFreezer. Phone flies with tweaks but overnight is 12%. If this does not improve I will stay on it or switch to Lineage.

Feb update? wow. Usually I only lost a few %. My phone does an auto optimization at 3am and then a restarts 3:15am every night. Also my phone won't boot fully after restarts (at least that's what I experienced) because Strong Protection is on but I really don't know if has any effect on battery usage. (before I go to bed I disable mobile data, bt, other useless stuff except wifi because I run uTorrent). I will post exact numbers if I don't forget and you really curious.
