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 Samsung Galaxy S8'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!

I lose about 3% an hour while I sleep. No other phone I've owned has drained that much.

I'm sure it's an app sucking the juice out of it.... I've restored it back to clean factory setting 3 times, after a few weeks it always goes back to about 3% an hour.

I uses Gsam battery monitor, but it shows nothing out of the ordinary other than: System, Samsux DeX (which I don't use), or the Kernel is usually really high.

I LOVE everything else about this phone, other than this.

did your mobile data is always on while u sleep? bcoz for me it drains only 3 percent after 7 hrs of sleep with mobile data off.
with mobile data 10% battery drain after 7hrs

I have the same problem, with mobile data ON...phone drains 3% overnight (8hours).
My old Samsung S6 drains 0-1% over night with cell radio on.

all draining apps optimized with brevent.
battery draining apps disabled with BK Disabler + some gapps services disabled
volte + wifi calling off.

gsam and better battery stats show no problems.
But Android Battery statistics show high cell standby drain.
I think it is a modem issue.

I have got an G950F with DBT Firmware

I lose 0.5% overnight.
Not per hour... but over the whole night.
No AOD.
Disabled bixby and all bixby services.
Disabled anything related to Samsung's voice services.

I lose 3% an hour too. I have an old Galaxy Note 3 on Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (Android 7.1.2) that lasts 25 days on standby. It's the stupid LagWiz bloated OS!

I have the same issue.. even in day or night it drains 3-4% per hour with AOD off. on Power saving mode.
Not sure what to do.

I was having massive standby drain, even with Greenify, then I set up the phone with these settings https://www.xda-developers.com/the-...r-community-radically-improved-my-experience/ (see "Linked a screenshot) and uninstalled Greenify (read somewhere that it can get into a loop of auto hibernation which drains battery) and wow! from 4 to 5% an hour to 2% over 7 hours so am very chuffed!

It is because of the android apps that is running in background. It keeps running if you are connected to the internet. If you checked which cause battery drains you will come to know that majority of apps are consuming too much power. It is better to install those apps which requires less space and don't updates frequently. Gaming Apps, Time management Apps, Fitness Apps, News Apps are updated almost everyday. So it is good to uninstall it if you are not using it.

I have seen many people who install so many apps but never used any which is not only uses the spaces but also consume the battery power.

@thenessus how to disable bixby and voice without root?

just install a package disabler from playstore and select bixby to be disabled

I wish i can remap it into sound/vibrate just like an iphone or one plus toggle.

 

[Jostian]

You can remap it easily, just use bxactions app, works well.

after i disabled all the bixby services, using bxactions doesn't do anything. And i cannot use control mode on bxactions too because i don't have windows machine unfortunately.

 

[Jostian]

You need bixby home and voice to be active to remap the button with bx actions

i just tried, it's kinda hit and miss action. Perhaps i need to use control mode to get it fully working.

same issue. i got both the s8 and s8+, both lost 15% after 7-8 hours sleep...
after some normal usage the battery dies arround 5pm everyday... this is really annoying.
the battery is the biggest but the only disappointment on my s8 and s8+, hopefully this can be fixedby system patch on some day.
