Standby drain
- Thread starter XDA_RealLifeReview

How much battery drain should I get on flight mode? Was getting 1% an hour even then. I've decided to factory reset my phone as I feel there's something amiss, even if I did only just get it a few days ago.
I know my cell standby drain is high bc I get bad signal at home but it shouldn't affect the flight mode too.
Another thing, do any of you use any themes in particular? Do live wallpapers kill the phone battery faster?

Serious issues here, only started using the phone 2 days ago. The first day seemed ok, but today was horrendous. I took it off the charger at 100% in the morning, less than 8 hours later it was dead with under 1 hour SoT. Something seriously wrong there.
The battery usage in settings showed that Android System was the main culprit with CPU time almost as long as it been off the charger.
Coming from a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 this is a huge shock to the system. I'd take that off the charger at 7am and easily get 6 hours SoT and have battery to spare when I put it on charge at night 17 hours later

Its Facebook Messenger and Facebook app. Huge battery hoggers both of them. I uninstalled them both and installed Friendly for Facebook app instead. Now I have around 15-20% more battery left when its time to put the phone to charge at night.
I lose about 4% per night on Wi-fi but I have bluetooth with fitness band connected. I also use all services including Bixby voice and Google assistant. Also cell reception is not so good at home. So I'm ok with these numbers.
I have serious drain issuses as well, stopped charging today around 6am, about 11h later with 1h 22min SOT I got 34%. I have AoD and BT on, BT for my MiBand 2 and AoD does near nothing because the device is in my pocket the whole time.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I love this phone, but chasing down these inconsistent battery issues is infuriating.
Have you got Data on? 4g pinging of towers eats a lot of battery on S8, if you have wifi (then disable data), also try installing Naptime app which enforces doze much quicker and better, set location to battery saving, u only need GPS for navigation etc. And if you go to setting/battery.../battery, then select usage, what are your top 5 battery consumers? also an idea to flash the debloater (in cross device section) (if rooted) to get rid on lotsa bloat apps which also use battery... https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ent/zafer61-aqk7-max-debloater-aroma-t3714171

Sorry, didnt see your reply, I have since debloated with the debloater zip (find it in the cross device section), but if you still want the xml file pm me and I'll send it.
Hi see the 2 attached, the one I got from this thread which helps a lot with a good S8 setup https://www.xda-developers.com/the-...r-community-radically-improved-my-experience/ and the other just for my needs.
I followed that recommendation some time ago, GPS is on battery saving all the time. If I need navigation, I use my iPhone (only at work and the iPhone is my work phone). Even with BKdisabler and all the apps that I can set to completely black, AMOLED friendly wallpaper, my SoT average is 2h.
Yup exactly same for me also.. tired of battery saving tips.. now i use my phone in full throttle qhd+ resolution brightness around 40-50% everything on... it gives me same result
I use the Samsung S8 and the battery life have been encouraging even though i still support it with my mobile power bank considering the fact that i live in Africa
My verdict: standby drain is software related. I still have a working Samsung Galaxy S1 , which has an absolutely awesome standby of ∼13 days on Bionix ROM (Froyo), but as soon as I flash KitKat or LP custom ROMs, it will barely last a day (on standby). I am waiting Oreo upgrade for promised battery optimizations (certainly software related).
I hope that they put much work in the beta, atm it's not even close to be usable. Battery life is like non-existing.
Not touched phone from 2 hours and battery life is 90% from 100%..
Wifi off, on mobile data, Fhd+ , AOD off
Dont know what to do:crying:

I have been facing battery drain problem and it was not satisfactory at all. I used to get 2 to 3hrs of SOT and sometimes even 1.5hrs with mobile data mostly all time on, Standby time was max of 12 to 16h. I got my battery and board replaced by Samsung but still, it is the same planning to file a replacement.
Not sure what happen today but stand by time at night was good.. 3% battery loss.. its already been 16hrs nd still 53% left.. always on mobile data and wifi Fhd+ resolution AOD off...

My phone dropped from 60% to 49% while sleeping for 6 and a half hours. With airplane mode on and medium power saving mode. To me, that's embarrassingly poor.
