Standby drain

XDA_RealLifeReview · Aug 19, 2016 at 7:43 PM

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 Samsung Galaxy Note 7'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!

It's okay. Though I lose a lot of life way too fast and find myself on a charger 2-3 times a day with sync and mobile data on.

Davexs28 · Aug 30, 2016

Draining at 2-4% per hour and I'm not thrilled about that. Its largely due to the Android System and OS, whichever one of the hundreds of processes which fall under that category may be the actual cause I do not know since Androids battery reporting is next to useless. Also Always on Display seems to preventing the phone from dozing. Or at least aggressive dozing with Greenify. As soon as I turn it on, it no longer dozes quickly or seemingly at all.

Edit: Im assuming its the infamous NlpWakelock bug/feature causing the Android system drain.

Took my Note 7 off of the wireless charger last night when it reached 100% and it was at 76% when I woke up (7-8 hours later). Assuming the higher end of that range, it drained roughly 3% per hour. I believe I have AOD scheduled to turn off nightly from 1 AM to 7AM, but I'll have to check on this again later as it is staying home until its case arrives.

Seems it varies. I took mine off the charger at midnight and when I woke up at 630 only lost 2 %. Best so far seems to be getting better.

In the beginning it had battery drains issue, but now after 1 week use it I see the battery life improved a lot.
I think it's because of the new processor technology of Samsung it will learn how to do the flips and optimise the calculation next time.

It drains 8 to 10 percent from 1 am to 7am. Really bad. Not sure whether doze kicks in. My z5p drain 2 percent .

Do you have anything disabled? I ask cause I'm testing mine. I had stuff disabled before. And was losing about 6 to7% in the same time frame. Now I re enabled everything and losing 2 to 3. So not sure what up with what yet.

So Looks like today, with Minimal brightness, 26 mins screen time, location and wifi. Battery has died a TON in 2.5 hours.

4 am -> 2 pm always 3-4% drain regardless of using any apps to force doze or hibernate

That's odd. Quite.

I was losing about 3-4 percent per hour when the phone was unused. I tracked it down to something wifi related because I would disable and it would drop to 1% each hour. After some trial and error, I made the following changes and I've been at 1% battery loss per hour with wifi on.

Settings changed:
"Keep wifi on during sleep" -Changed from "On" to "While Charging"
"Network notification" -Changed from "On" to "Off"
"Wifi calling" -Changed from "Wifi Preferred" to "Cellular Preferred"

I would assume the first setting is what mattered the most for battery savings. I don't know why it was on by default. This is on a T-Mobile phone.

Where do you find the second and third options?

I tested mine last night, and I'm quite pleased with the results. Over a 9.5 hour period, my Note 7 drained from 100% to 91%, or approximately 1% per hour. Some key facts:

I am using the Verizon version, unrooted
The phone was connected to WiFi all night, with about 3 bars of cell signal
I had no 'battery savings' mode enabled, and no 'do not disturb' modes enabled
I use Nova Launcher
I had AOD enabled the entire time
I have the Play Store set to auto-update
I have the Dark Sky weather widget running
I did not clear RAM, I just hit the "Close all" button in the app switcher
I used Package Disabler Pro to disable a lot of bloatware
I do NOT have Facebook installed, but I do have a number of other popular social media apps installed

Below are the packages I disabled:

I have not encountered any issues with disabling those packages, nor have I felt I've given up anything useful at all. Hope this helps someone!

Mines fine while it lasted. My charging port is burnt and the phone no longer works. Replacement soon though

What caused it? Factory adapter?

The standby drain is acceptable for me...
I didn't turn off always on display, GPS, mobile data, wifi and auto brightness, it is time to enjoy ~
