"Long post warning"
I have really really bad battery life since I got Galaxy S2, I tried everything, never get what people claim(20hours+ battery life).
All I have got is something around 10hrs. I already using official Samsung 2000mAH extended battery.
I never liked root and flash rom but this phone made me do it .
yesterday I flashed to LeoMar75 2.7.1 with CF-root kernel (I read this kernel has best idle battery saving)
and hoping miracle will come and now..I still stuck in battery life agony
Can you guys help me determine what's wrong with my phone? I see A LOT of fellas report their phone can run for 30+ hours with 3G always on, screen time more than 2hours, internet, whatsapp and games
I basically did the same thing , I don't even do games but mine doesn't get pass 10hrs.

today I flashed the rom and kernel and I fully charged the battery then I have like 2 hours screen time for
whatsapp, engadget, FML and stuffs then sleep for 5 hours.
before I sleep, the battery has 57% left and woke up, 33% left.
I can understand 2hours screen on time drain the battery to 57% but I don't understand why 24% of 5 hours idle?
as you can see, my device woke up while I was sleeping and it's idle.
I give you guys some details
can you guys please tell me, which part of my phone is draining the battery ?
Display setting:
1. brightness : 20%
2. auto adjust display power : uncheck
3. display mode - film
Sync
I disabled Gtalk auto login and signed out Google latitude.
I also unchecked the "Backup my data" in Privacy.
I disabled Fast Dormancy.
and here are my app list.
I already did all the tricks I can find on internet to save battery for my S2 but still the battery life is miserable. I hope you guys can help me with this : (
ps. now I doing battery calibration, I think this is my last resort , I really hope my phone can do 20+hours with 3G data always on.
yeah well first of all when flashing a new rom, must wait 2-3 cycles before the battery life is maximised....
2nd of all why the need for both friendcaster and facebook ??
If the drain is still bad I would just recommend turning all data off etc...and seeing if the battery life is normal overnight (2-3% loss)...if not then something ain't right
edit; also check your wakelocks (on betterbattery stats app)

Thanks for your advice man!
do 2-3 cycles will make HUGE difference?
I have 2 facebook account for work and friends, that's why I have both friendcaster and facebook app.
I tried turn off 3G data and Wifi at stock rom(2.3.5) earlier, the drain overnight(8hrs) was within 10% so I pretty sure it's 3G data draining the battery, just don't know which app does it. (I have quite heavy incoming whatsapp msg don't know if that's the case)
sorry I forgot to capture the wakelock screen earlier but now my phone battery is completely dead,
charging it for battery calibration, perhaps I will include it tomorrow. Thanks a lot man

Try disabling facebooks sync for a day and see how battery life is then. I ran into a serious problem where my battery was drained 50% in a matter of hours with zero usage and once I remembered that I recently updated facebook I uninstalled it and everything worked fine again. I re-installed fb but disabled sync and battery life is still excellent, haven't had the chance to enable sync and monitor the battery though.

yeah I know I have quite a lot of apps installed but that's the point for a galaxy S2 with 16GB internal storage right?
Turn notifications on for facebook but disable refresh (Set refresh interval to never). You'll get PUSH notifications instead .
are you loggdd into fb chat? If so, that should be it.
I suggest Skype.
I had Skype, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger, and Facebook installed on my phone before. Got around the same batt life as you.
Reinstalled the rom I had and installed apps one at a time. Those 4 progs are the only ones I know of I have NOT reinstalled and my battery life is usually around 20+ hrs with normal usage.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

darkinners,
I am in Hong Kong as well, I am wondering where you purchased the 2000mah battery? Online or in HK? If you got it in HK, do you mind sharing with me where?
Thank you! mmm goi!
I hope you get your battery problem fixed!

If you've never logged on then your fine. Skype has always drained my battery, but I don't use it much so uninstalled. Facebook was a battery drainer with the refresh times but now that it has push (I get notifications at the exact same time as I do on my web browser) it doesn't drain my battery at all.
Average battery life is anywhere from 20 hours to 1day & 13 hours. Screen on time is always 3 hours & 30 minutes minimum, most I've had is 5 hours & 30 minutes, that was without playing any strenious games though

wow nice tips! so you suggest even I didn't login Skype, I just let the app sit in there, it still drain battery?
I disabled the facebook refresh interval like you said and yeah I still got notification from PUSH, nice tip : )
I now calibrated the battery, fully charged, did all the tips you guys gave me.
turned on the phone for 1.5 hours with 30mins screen time, (LINE, Facebook, Whatsapp only)
the battery drop from 100% to 88%, is that normal ? (I use 2000maH battery)
with the 2000 mah battery, you should be able to hit 6 - 7hours screen on time. This does depend on your screen brightness however but your drain looks ok based on screen time. Id recommend that you charge the phone to 100% before you sleep, then let it drain overnight so you can check how much battery is drained in idle. With the stock battery, I normally lose around 1% every 4 hours when idle.
As for Skype, it did drain my battery. When I logged out it ran in the background and caused wakelock issues. 3G watchdog also showed that it would use data every 20-30 mins. I'm now using droidwall to block internet for apps that don't need it. For example I won't be downloading wallpapers from the "Flikie Wallpapers" app whilst using mobile data, so I set it to only use internet when I'm on wifi

I have the same problem so i'm following this topic very carefully
Hope you'll find the solution !
one thing to remember as well, A LOT of people with 20 hour battery life have hardly touched the phone. Some people can get 3 days worth of battery, but with a screen on time of only 50 minutes its hardly surprising. I'd say anything over 24 hours with a screen on time of 3 hours is very nice.

Hi, this issue is specific to my NON-ROOTED Samsung Galaxy S2. I have seen other simsilar issues for other phones and they don't seem to help. My Battery doesn't seem to last more than a few hours. No more than 5-8 and it's dead. I turned off the Data and wi-fi. I set my Wallpaper to a Black background. It just sits on the desk and after a few hours it's almost dead...
What can I do to fix this?
Rooting is not an option at the moment.. I'm still reading and learning about it as I don't want to create a paperweight and/or void my warranty...
No offence mate but for a start you can search the forum and you will literally find dozens of threads on the very same subject which have been posted on here over the last few months.
Search and you'll find the answers your looking for, a tip freeze the Samsung bloatware in Titanium Backup and your battery life will improve substantially, there are many other methods to improve battery life you can find them yourself.
I get over a full day on heavy usage...
No offense taken, but most point to Rooting my phone...This is not an option for me at this time....I'll look some more, I guess...

I know...that's why I posted, but I should have said that in my original post...I'll edit it....but I did find something that I will try when I can..Phone is charging in a wall outlet right now, and I don't want to unplug it. lol...I do thank you for your effort and understanding...
I have unrooted phone and get around 17-20 hours heavy usage.
I would suggest you flash a 2.3.5 Rom via Odin as they seem to have better battery management if you haven't done so
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
you dont need to be rooted to flash new roms via odin
Also advisable to charge battery till full then use till its like 1% then recharge full and so on to calibrate it a bit.
Rogue apps can eat your battery life as well so If you can afford it do a full wipe and reset if you can and see if it makes a difference.

If her wifi is on and its constanly looking for wifi, will that be the cause? i just told her to turn that off.
What is a Rogue?
Chat applications like Google Talk or Facebook (if you go into Chat) tend to drain battery.

You guys need to give more information if you really want decent assistance, there is an app called better battery stats, you want to look at your partial wakelocks section in that particular app, go get it either on this forum or in the Market, post screenshots of your battery graph in Settings>About Phone>Battery Usage and click on the time, also a screenshot of your partial wakelocks will reveal the issue 90% of the time
Also, there is no need to root your phone to achieve good battery life, unless it is found that a system app may be the cause of the poor battery which is hardly ever the case, anyone who points you to rooting to get good battery life has very limited knowledge of android and what is the cause of poor battery life...
Usually downloaded apps and user settings are the cause of poor battery, there is absolutely no need to root to be able to fix those problems.....
I noticed this one too...My stock DXI2 room tend to be a battery hogger and the display consumes around 60% of my entire battery life...
agreed I'm getting nigh on 2 days battery life nowadays maybe one and a half of moderate to high usage! certainly don't need to root and install a new ROM.

Charge your phone fully and use it as you would normally, the screenshots you provided doesn't show much, what you have to do is click on the very top where it says 22h 52m, that would take you to another shot that shows your "screen on" time in a linear graph just below "Awake" time, that's the screen that would tell us if you are having wakelocks.
Secondly, get better battery stats from the market or from this link here then set the display options to "Partial Wakelocks" "since unplugged", remember you do this after using your phone normally from 100% to 50%, this should be able to give us some insight into what is eating your battery, it may be better to let the phone sleep as much as possible, but I know it's pretty hard to leave the device alone......
You should definitely try better battery stats app. It helped me to identify the app that kept my phone awake continuosly. My battery life increased from 8-9 hrs to 15-17 hrs after uninstalling that app. I even bought the paid version from market after that. Must have app!!! Give it a shot. Its free for XDA users. But if it helps you then please do consider buying it to support the developer.
yup. My SGSII is on KJ3 stock & I get easily around 1 day & 16-17 hrs before i need a charge. This is with moderate to heavy usage (depends on your perspective) which includes:
1. Display is on roughly 1.5 to 2 hrs
2. Voice calls roughly 2-3 hrs
3. 100 odd texts
4. 30-40 mins of listening to music
5. 20-30 mins of browsing
6. 30 mins of running benchmarks
7. 10-15 mins of gaming
8. Downloads for 30 mins
8. Auto-sync & background data enabled for 9-10 hrs

Ok, I had the phone plugged in to the laptop to transfer my Memo's from my BB/Outlook over to the phone, so it only says it has been unplugged for 3 min..If you want longer, let me know, as I'll do another one tomorrow.
This one is from 49 min unplugged...
As far as that app. I'll download it now and run it for a day or two and see what happens...will post back soon!
Thanks for all your help people!!!

My non rooted galaxy s ii lasts at least on full day of heavy usage, including 3g, music, and gps. Will last 2 to 3 days if i use it conservatively turning off 3g when not in use.
make sure u have latest update thats basically all i did.
good luck.
I have a very important question about the battery life
i need every extra hour while am using my phone heavily
any one tested a good rom in the Continuous heavy using ?
any rom and kerenal , original or cooked .. it doesn't matter

this photo with my current I9100JPKJ2 2.3.5 + siyah last kernel
the battery dead just in 3 hours of heavy using , it was :
" 3G always on + twitter app always on + some camera "
and everything else was off and automatic brightness and disabled fast Dormancy
and that what happened , it dead in just 3 hours !
so please tell me what the same conditions with your experiment
how long it lasts ?
how many hours it gives me with this using ?
i was about using TurkbeyRom , but i asked first maybe there's better one
any ideas ?
CheckROM v4 is very good.. Even with default settings...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA premium app
how much screen on time? i got about 6hours max
I'm guessing you have a metric ass load of apps running/syncing and draining your battery whilst your phone is awake. If I keep my screen on time to ~4 hours I can get 3+ days (approaching 4) of life out of a single charge: Wifi on most of the time, data off when in Wifi range, sync off, every thing that requires syncing I've set to 1 hour intervals. I weeded out battery draining apps some time ago using Better Battery Stats. Your phone is asleep when your screen is off however, so that's good. BBS might help you narrow down processes but these may not show up under Partial Wakelocks.
I am on an extremely tiny ROM however and the same can't be expected of a stock or modified Samsung ROM. Disabling fast dormancy can drain battery depending on if your provider supports fast dormancy or not.

Insanity 56 + it's stock kernel. It's based off CM7 (7.2RC0 I believe), but slimmed down to 47MB.

If you want to use Twitter and Facebook apps you'll have to accept that battery life is going to suffer a ton. Good battery life isn't a holy grail or unattainable by any means, it's all in the apps and settings.

yes i know
but as you see , must people already confused me
some says it normal , and some says something wrong !!
i know it's normal when we talk about heavy " hardcore " using
but i have some hope that i can find any solution gives me extra little hours
every hour needed really in my case !
It's not a great battery profile, but it could be explained easily by screen on time and lots of apps running in the background. I guess it's a matter of figuring out which app(s) are responsible and deciding which you can live without to at least make it through the day without being at the mercy of the nearest electrical outlet. I find I can easily make the battery suck on this phone; nature of the beast.
yup i know .. but i am very confused because people keep telling me something is wrong !
some people said they got 10 hours with heavy using like mine !
Not everyone's idea of heavy use is the same, no way battery will last 10 hours with screen almost alwasy on.
Maybe you should look into an extended or spare battery instead.

No, your battery graph is normal. Every Rom, every kernel will show this result with the usage you have, don't let people fool you otherwise.

No, impossible. You can only have around 10 hours of screen-on time while doing *nothing*, I've also accomplished that once:
While on other occasions it will look like this:
So all that BS that Rom X with kernel Y will magically improve your number of hours: no. Only thing that matters is: what's running in the background, what's being displayed on the screen (dark or light images) and if you're using lots of bandwidth.
Browsing the internet while displaying a light screen: max screen-on time of around 4 hours (so: battery will be dead in around 4 hours as well). Using the phone otherwise while displaying dark content: maybe 5 hours screen-on time or more.
All that "I have X hours of screen-on time with heavy usage!" where X>5 hours is complete B.S.
Thanx a lot , now it makes seance
now i am officially disappointed , lol

My X is greater than 5.
I'd think more about grabbing a bigger capacity battery or more batteries so you can swap over to a fully charged one when you need to.
I agree with eliminating unwanted battery drain but I don't agree with not using apps we want to use.
We have an awesome phone. Enjoy it. Use what apps you want as much as you want. So you have to take 2 minutes out of your day to swap a battery who cares. Better that than having to use it like an old Nokia.

see those photos please and tell me your opinions
improvement ??
You can get double capacity batteries if you don't mind losing the phone's slimness

If you have this necessity of being constantly online on Twitter, Facebook and whatnot you might want to consider another device such as a tablet or netbook? Can't expect to do everything on the phone and have good battery life. That said, try ing different governors made a good difference in my case.

I've noticed with Wi-Fi on, I always lose 1% or a bit more per hour, just idle. On 3G, it's a bit less than 1% an hour.
I'm running the latest Jelly Bean stock official firmware (DLJ4).
I have good battery while the screen is on (1% every 4-5 minutes while browsing the internet on WiFi), but this idle battery drain is a bit too much...
I have Facebook setup, but not syncing, and I have most of the notifications disabled.
For my Google account, I have Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and Internet set to sync.

Screen was on for 1min and I received a call which I did not pick up.
BetterBatteryStats did not show any kernel wakelocks (although on previous days I did see wlan_rx_wake, l2hsic, and a few others, but none today).
I have seen all over the forums that some people are getting a 24 hours of battery life with 5 hours of screen on time, with Wi-Fi on all day. The best I can get with a whole day is 3-4 hours of screen on (brightness at 40% or lower).

6-7 hours in a 24 hours time period? Or nonstop?
Wow. Factory reset maybe ? Last night with wifi on I lost 2% for 6 hours sleep.

Looks normal, Gmail woke up to check mail 20X over the cell network while it was sleeping?
Was the phone in a good signal location?
Reason I use Wi-Fi when possible at home. CDMA is 20% signal here, GSM 90%. Perhaps your in the same situation. It is idle in GSM mode, wakes up to check mail notices it can go faster and wastes power renegotiating a faster connection?
That could easily waste power...
If so set to GSM mode, with Wi-Fi on (if screen is on) and turn cell data off.
If your signal is good, you can forget about using only GSM and just do the rest.
Not sure what else it could be, feels like cell signal IMHO. It looks high in the usage chart too, unless you made a few calls..

I lose about 20 - 25 percent per night when Wi-Fi is on. When Wi-Fi is off almost no battery loss... See the attachment for a log. I'm wondering what's wrong... So I would say that the TS is lucky to be losing only a few percent per night!
Battery drainage looks normal to me. Your wifi was also on for almost the entire time. You could use an app like Juice Defender or Tasker to schedule times to turn on wifi for syncing. That could help decrease time wifi would be on, thus saving some battery life.

It's not normal at all. I've seen others with better idle time than me, leaving Wi-Fi on the whole time. Also, my phone drains less battery while on 3G. That makes no sense.
And apps like Juice Defender shouldn't be required. It cripples the phone of a feature: background data. I use Google Voice to text and prefer my messages to come instantly instead of every 15 minutes.

I was on Wi-Fi the whole time, so it wasn't using the cell network (3G).
As you can see from the battery graph screenshot, I was mostly in a good location. The phone was in one spot on my table the whole time, where it switches between 3 and 4 bars every now and then. I didn't make any calls but I did receive one (didn't answer it) right before I took the screenshots.

I have never heard of ads running in the background... and I had all apps closed so nothing was running to drain the battery.
I've done factory resets several times, so I suppose it's either the kernel or an app doing this... but the apps I use are very common apps and I don't sync much :L
Avast shall halt anything misbehaving, maybe worth a try? Only other thing worth trying before a factory reset is installing Watchdog task manager.
Set it up so it monitors system level tasks!
Something might only be awake for a few seconds in battery stats, but it might be running at 100% system load.
Watchdog shall catch it!

My phone always drop like about 25% when I sleep with Wifi on too. Wifi seems to eat up the battery a lot recently.... I9300XXDLJ4 with Siyah 1.7rc1....
I'm the same with WiFi on and seems plenty of others are too. If I charge phone to full and then disconnect charger, with WiFi on I get a drain of 4.3%per hour, with WiFi off its around 1%. I am now leaving WiFi on all the time but changing the option to always leave WiFi on when sleeping to never and it's middle ground. There are far to many people moaning about this to be a coincidence. I am on stock latest jb and performed full wipe and reset and no difference. Ics had better standby time with WiFi on, fact!

Same here yesterday I tested with full charge and with nonstop usage I was able to get 6hrs 8min with 21% percent battery left, however my battery drains quickly in standby mode. In 6 to 7hrs I loose about 20% to 34% when sleeping.
I have more drainage issue....

I see you're not on Wi-Fi a lot; are you on 3G or 4G?
4-5h screen on time with 3G/4G is the best you can get in a typical day.
I have i9205 for 1.5 week. I rooted it after a few hours I have it. I was in rooted + official rom for a week. Then I flashed Cassies XtraLiteROM to it a few days ago. XtraLiteROM is based on official stripped down to minimum plus some tweaks.
My observation of battery drop during the night (wifi/3g/gps/bluetooth all off) is indistinguishable between the official rom and XtraLiteROM. About 10%-12% drop during the 8-hour sleep.
I greenified facebook app and a few others that I think works in the background. I tried to invoke Wakelock detector, hoping to find something. It appeared normal and said 8-hour deep sleep. The battery level falls continuously and smoothly during the sleep with hardly any wakeup.
Is it common with 4.2.2? I have another LG L9 rooted with 4.1.2. The drop during the night is 1%-2%.
I left my mega all stock. No root or any modifications and when i go to bed i put it in flightmode and it loses about 1% or 2% in those 8 hours just like your LG

I'm also having the same battery drain problems since the first day I bought Mega 6.3. I have tried different ROM versions UAMEA,ED,F2,G3 and now the latest G4 but still having the same problem. Today I lost 3% in a matter of 1.5hours without even doing anything on my phone within those times. Flightmode technique you mentioned seems to be good but the problem is we may not be able to receive emergency or urgent calls/text while asleep. I was hoping samsung would address this drain bug.

But the problem seems to be present even if you don't install anything else than what is supplied !!
I don't understand what's going on with the battery:
one day you put the phone in arplane mode and for 10 hours you eat 1% of the battery :good:
The next day without changing anything you eat 10% in the same conditions WTF !!
As far I can see it seems that there is a problem with the release 4.2 (problem also for the Galaxy S4).!!
In another forum i participate, some people had similar issues, they had been harrowed down to some programs they were running. some people had Mega synchronise their photos every time they connected to the internet others had some other crap going on. if it was a firmware issue, everyone would have it. i, for example don't have this problem. you can try to use Disable service program to see which services are active in the background and are eating your battery and stop them carefully.

From yesterday 23.00 till morning 09.00 lost 11%

From 14.00 till now (23.00) lost 3%

You've got me all wrong. I'm talking about installing stock ROM (latest version) without any modification i.e. root, cwm, etc and no other apps
installed except samsung built-in apps but still battery drains like hell overnight with almost everything turned-off (wifi, bluetooth, gps, rotation sensor, etc.). So your question is a little bit off topic.

No, not really, because the stock rom is full of bloatware from samsung. I've read reports from other people saying that their camera software or galery or something else, don't remember exactly was uploading their photos to their cloud storage whenever they connected to internet. A lot of stuff can be happening in the background in the stock samsung rom because it's got a lot of stuff in it + the default settings alow synch/backup/downloading updates. Install the light custom rom from this forum, that has everything removed and see how it behaves, alternatively you can use other programs (mentioned one above) to see what's active in the memory of your device and find what's eating your battery.

Ok thanks. I will try silentlight tonight. By the way, I received updates of samsung link from playstore these past few hours and among the reason
for update was the battery drain. Also, I'm using an official S View flip cover from samsung. I was wondering whether there is some sort of sensor activated by this flipcase that keeps my mega from deepsleep.

Have a look here, one more idea for you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44428107#post44428107
My battery drain problem appears to be related to "cell standby".
If I charge the phone to battery full, unplug, reboot, screen off, data off and leave it to stand by for a night. "Cell standby" alone takes up most battery usage and battery level drops by ~10%. I can constantly repeat that. I think more users are having a problem with radio.
Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335242
I am trying to disable fast dormancy to see if that helps slow down cell standby drain.
I have to come back @ my comment on the previous page, since today my phone went battery hungry too at night. left it in flight mode during the night as usual but instead of losing 1 or 2% it consumed 12%.
Very strange since the phone should be absolutly doing nothing at all when its locked and in flight mode.
It's not really a problem since im a fairly moderate to light user so i can do 2 days on 1 charge but still.
I also have a strange wake-up problem now, after using the phone a bit and when i press power to lock it, sometimes the screen lights up again after about 5 seconds and goes off again.
I feel worse than it actually is when I feel like robbed 10% of power everyday for no reason. Maybe I was too picky. I have not given up on this. Will continue to look for a solution.
same **** here, today is even worst, 8 hours of phone not doing anything. deep sleeping is at 92% according to BBS, and my battery dropped from 75% to 61%, wonder wat is happening with my phone. damn!
Try this
Sorry. Very bad know English. Solved the problem of the so-

No gaming just some videos and browsing
Also my accubattery says my battery capacity is 3600 not 4000
Also chrome Has been pulling alot of power

I returned a op5t because I thought the battery life wasn't that good but damn the mate 10 pro is worse.

Normally 6 to 7 hours sot

As it was stated many many times, unless you are playing or watching movies,videos, you wont get much sot just by using apps like social, emails and stuff. You should look at how many hours your battery lasts. Im getting 4h sot at most, but the battery lasts about 30 hours. Im using a lot of social apps( fb, meesenger, instagram, whatsapp video call), emails, surfing web, listening to music 2h per day, and so on. Im very satisfied with the battery because it takes me through the full day without any problems, whatever ill do on my phone.

My battery drain overnight is between 1 and 4%. Doesn't matter if it's on Wi-Fi or 4G... same result. I have Facebook and the usual social rubbish installed.... does sound like a rogue app.
I find the battery life of this a monster... 2hrs of youtube and my s8+ lost 24%.... My mate 10 pro only lost 16%... scale that up over a day and this thing goes on forever....

How do you get this low standby drainage? Mine loses around 8% a night even when running phone optimizer before going to sleep.
Unfortunatly it says only 93% battery health already at 3670mAh.
Dunno how trustworthy this is anyway, when charging at around 20% according to accubattery 1% equals 41mAh (that would make a 4100mAh battery)
but when charging at 90% accubattery says 1% equals 36mAh (equals 3600mAh battery)
From this I conclude that the Battery Health displayed by this app heavily relies on your charging habits.
The dude that supercharges every morning for 20 min thinks he has the biggest battery, the guy who keeps his phone plugged in the office thinks his battery sux
for this health feature id recommend charging from 5-95 for 5 days in a row... i think then we will have more accurate results

Nothing special.
I put in manual mode most of apps except apps I need to run in background.
I disabled Chrome and use Samsung browser, more battery friendly imo.
I'm on evie launcher but I had same stats with emui launcher.
When I sleep I put phone in airplane mode most of the time (because of waves) and I lost 1% and if i let data on, I lost 2 or 3 % per night (I sleep 6 or 7 hours max you know everything now ?).
According accu Battery, I have only 3788 battery and not 4000 as indicated by huawei.
The battery of my Huawei Mate 10 Pro was a monster until recently, last few days to be exact (maybe the last week). It drains 20% ish during night as well now (was 4-5% ish before). No apps draining, it's the system.
From 95% to 9% with 2h15m SOT last night.
Also seems like quite a few users have the same problem in the last week or so.

The battery of my Huawei Mate 10 Pro was a monster until recently, last few days to be exact (maybe the last week). It drains 20% ish during night as well now (was 4-5% ish before). No apps draining, it's the system.
From 95% to 9% with 2h15m SOT last night.

Very strange.
Are you sure that you don't install some apps like a launcher for example which drains battery

Nope. Only use the standard apps and have apps like Facebook, Spotify, Netflix++ installed. I'm at 80% now and the system tells me I got 12-13 hours left of use!?

Yeah, did it this morning. The 12-13h thing is probably wrong though, I've just lost 4% the last 5 hours now.
Looking at the graph from this nite shows the drain was normal, then suddenly after 2-3 hours of sleeping the battery started draining fast. Weird.

Perfect, watch stats few days and give us a feedback.
Put off your phone and reboot may help
