Standby drain

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Moto Z's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Pretty good

Lost 3% on standby during 8 hours through the night.

Now that I'm on nougat, I'm losing about 8% over a 7 hour period

Not all cores stay in deep sleep when the screen is off.
I am seeing about 50% at 652MHz and 50% Deep Sleep when the screen off. I am not sure if this is expected.

I am also losing about 1% / hour in standby with the latest Nougat Update.
I just got it so I can't compare before & after.

1 percent per hour can be completely normal depending on someone's setup, apps install, signal strength, etc.

Most phones I've ever owned are about that or just under. Only my Nexus 7 2012 was way lower. About 0.4% per hour.

1 percent per hour is definitely not anything to be too concerned with honestly.

I'd start with CPU spy or a similar app, to see if your phone is actually in deep sleep when not used. If not, then you could have an issue.

i am extremely satisfied with stock(everything stock unrooted,locked bl) standby drain. I don't use Approach, Attentive Display and Notification Display in Moto app.

Wifi ON : 3% over 7 hours sleep
Wifi OFF : 1% over 6 hours sleep
Data(3G) ON : 7% over 5 hours sleep

Since N7 update, getting very bad idle drain.
Losing 28% during 7 Hrs overnight (>4%/Hr) and the BBS logs don't show any major issues.
Posting my logs here hoping a fresh pair of eyes can locate any anomalies I missed.

You might have bad reception in the place you have your phone. Check settings>battery> click on graph>cellular network signal. If the bar is red/ orange or has many small red lines you might be located between two towers.

Try switching to 3G or 2G overnight and if there is a dramatic difference it will confirm its signal-related battery drain.

Just an update; I used a Tasker profile to disable WiFi and Bluetooth when Display is off between 11 PM to 6 AM (my approx. sleep window). This has brought down the Idle consumption during night to 0.8%/Hr suggesting at-least one of them to be the reason for abnormal drain. I think the WiFi or Bluetooth modules in the Nougat update may not be fully optimised. I intend to test with only one of them turned OFF alternatively over next two nights and locate the real culprit.
Of course this does not help me during the day when both WiFi and Bluetooth have to be kept ON as I can't be bothered to turn them On/Off frequently whenever I start/stop listening to music or connect/disconnect to work WiFi. I'll explore if I can write Tasker profiles to switch them On/Off based on location, proximity to work WiFi AP and music steaming status.

Also, as suggested by @Vcek above, I can see some orange bars in the battery graph overnight indicating signal issues at my home location which may also be adding to the increased drain.
Overall I am sufficiently comfortable now knowing what is causing the increased drain and having at least some level of control over it.

My phone still open when i asleep .

Hmm..

I've been thinking about this as well in the first week of owning the phone. I leave out at 530am and get back around 6pm and am sitting around 50% (not bad, don't get me wrong). But the 2 year old phone it replaced would still be at ~40% in the same day.

It's better, don't get me wrong, just not as much as I figured.
