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 S10e'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!

This is pretty disappointing it looses 10 - 15% of battery overnight doing absolutely nothing.
I am losing about 2%/hour doing absolutely nothing.
Excuse me guys, but its not true that the phone does nothing. It communicates permanently with the antenna signals and the network, so its absolutely normal that it drains battery. Every phone drains battery in standby, even when they are on airplane mode (although in this mode the drainage is much much lower)

If you want yout phone to actually do nothing, you have to turn it off.

Yea... no. My two year old Oneplus 5t, with nearly 100 apps installed, only drops 3 - 6% overnight with 4g on.

My 1 week old galaxy s10e with airplane mode on drops 10% overnight.

I havent said anything about the draing % being too high or not. I said that it is not true that the phone does nothing while being in standby. Which is a fact.

I just updated to the latest update ASCA, battery drain issue seems to be fixed. It drops less than 1% per hour now. (5% over 6 hours)
ASCA? Is your phone with Verizon? How did you update? This battery drain is killing me too. The only positive is that it seems the battery drain is about the same while using the phone.

Mine is the international dual sim Exynos version. I just got an OTA update about 3 days ago. I was also having pretty bad standby battery drain. 15% in 8 hours. Last night it only dropped 4% in 8 hours, which is pretty amazing.

Thanks for the reply. I'm downloading it now. Hope it fixes mine. I know there are always bug when first launched. If things aren't straightened out within 6 months I'm going back to pixel once the 4 comes out.

When it lost 4% in 8 hours, did you have AOD/wifi/data/bluetooth on?

I'm on the ASCA update, but still have terrible standby drain on my Exynos S10e (3%/h).

AOD: OFF
Wifi: OFF
Data: ON all the time
Bluetooth: sometimes on sometimes off, I don't notice significant drain when it's on.

I literally had significant better battery life from one day to the next without doing anything. However I have had most of the useless apps disabled since day one, (Facebook, Bixby, Samsung stuff, etc.) I also have wifi and bluetooth scanning off. It is ON by default

Edit:
You should also follow some of these settings

I found deep sleep solution.
My s10e exynos (april firmware) was able to sleep only 10% of time.
After fix it can sleep 95+% (CPU Spy)
8 hours = 5% battery.

Open file “system/build.prop
write “wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=200
save
reboot
fixed
I wrote small blogpost with details:
