Normally overnight I lose 8-10% in battery power. However for the last 4nihhts I've lost 25-30%, looking at my stats the phone doesn't appear to be awake but all of a sudden it appears the drain increases
Please can someone advise
Thankd
if you switch off location and google search in location services you might get alot better battery life, it work for me, over night I would drop 10-20 % now its only 5%
turn off gps, wifi, 3g, lower brightness

Does anyone else get this issue? If I turn it on in the morning, by the time I am home from school, it's down to 60% without even using it. I am on 2.3.5 if anyone wants to know, and I don't have any cpu intensive apps installed
You might try installing http://www.appbrain.com/app/powertutor/edu.umich.PowerTutor to see if you can pinpoint the problem. If wifi is on it will drain 3-4% per hour anyway. Make sure you don't have anything trying to sync (auto-sync off), like weather or news widgets. If you're on wifi all day and syncing, you can easily lose 40% in a day.

3-4% per hour if wifi is being actively used, as opposed to connected and in power saving mode I would imagine, as my device still has ~80% battery (from inside Settings, the battery icon on the main screen is still full) after sitting on my bedside table for just over 13h (I wasn't asleep for all of that, unfortunately!)
YMMV of course.
Not too "active"... but the battery is real wacky. It will "sit" at 80% while charging, and "sit" at 100% or 80% much longer than others. Yeah, mine with wifi off at night will only lose 0-5% in 12 hours. Sure wish it would do 1% increments and be more reliable! Using Batt Monitor Widget, the mV readings seem MUCH more accurate than system % readings... just wish the system would use mV readings to determine % left.
Are you guys seeing a 1% drop a minute when you are using your phone?
I'm experiencing sudden drain after the update as well and I've tried everything from freezing VZ location to factory restores without any success. It seems the majority of drain is the result of the display.. Here's what I did to try and determine that.
Turned on airplane mode
Lowered display to the lowest setting possible
Set the screen timeout to 10 mins and left the screen on
On average my phone was losing 1% of battery a minute and the same was true when I disabled airplane mode. If the display on the phone was shutoff I was averaging about 1% an hr (in airplane mode) so I'm thinking this is related to the display.
Are you guys seeing a 1% drop a minute when you are using your phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking streaming, idling, phone calls, data ? guess you need to define use a little bit. Even prior to the OTA , on stock battery while surfing the internet my phone I would drop almost that fast. I bought the extended battery and it was much better. After the OTA, I got an otterbox case and went back to stock battery and it still drains fast while surfing internet, but Idling or sitting in my pocket no drain.
Doing nothing at all. I just changed the screen timeout to 10 mins and left the screen on sitting at my desk, doing nothing. I was in airplane mode so no streaming or anything was taking place... If I turn the screen off I have very minimal drain.
I'm just trying to gauge whether or not having the screen on (doing nothing) and draining 1% a minute is realistic. At this rate my battery would only last a little under 2hrs.. I might believe that if I were streaming movies, phone was on, 3/4G on, etc. but in airplane mode none of that was happening.

This looks like it's a specific problem to your phone. I've never had that jurastic of a battery drain on my Rezound, even while surfing the web, playing games, listening to music, etc. If I were you I'd go to the VZW store and talk to one of the Verizon reps about it. Hope I helped!

It is the same for me. My screen destroys the battery. It can idle forever... but it does drop maybe 0.5-0.75%/minute for me.
I'm going to have to get an extended battery sooner than later. Screen destroys my battery. Just texting and a little bit of the XDA app and my battery will go from 95% to 20% in like 4 hours.
My phone currently has had the screen on for an hour total this charge. 15 hours on battery, 43% battery left. Screen used 38% battery having been on for an hour.

Definitely not a 1% drain per minute here. I was using netflix while riding the train to work(auto brightness) and dropped about 10% in 20 minutes.
The more shocking part is that I plugged in my newtrent external battery charger and still dropped 4% over 30 minutes(obviously much preferrable to 10%+ but when charging you would think you'd break even at least).
Yeah my screen takes up a great % of my battery life too, watching videos on youtube and using Navigation kills my phone pretty fast.
Thanks for the feedback.. New Phone
All,
Thanks for the feedback.. I went by VZW and got a replacement phone which is currently working out much better.
Thanks again!
I recently installed CM11 on my S3 with tmobile and the battery drainage is terrible. Ive searched other threads and the rate that others drain is miniscule compared to mine
I charged last night and went to sleep with my phone at 100%, when I woke up it was off, when turned on, 2%
Below attached is the screenshot of battery usage
I had Juice defender on, i set everything off (i think)
wifi was off, location/gps was off
I even turned off the blinking indicator light
20% an hour while idle means i'm obviously missing something here, please help? I don't know what the bars in the image mean but i was pretty sure i turned both those off
What can I do to fix this?
Go to Wi-Fi - advanced-untick always scanning
As for GPS some app might be using it...
For battery Install better battery stats and give it root permission and let it stand for 4-5 hours... And see what's causing your battery to drain...

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 Huawei Mate 9'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!
4% during my sleep, wifi and sound are on, impressed

During sleep, doing nothing < 0.4%/h
Standby drain is 1%/hour. Deep sleep is also bad. Firmware ver C185B110.
I'm not sure if is related to any app I use

Same as me.. hoping it gets better though..
from 23:00 to 9:00 battery drained from 14 to 8% with everything on (2 sims, 3g&4g+, wifi on - not connected, location on.
I think that at some level depends on how long we have it. I find that the the power consumption raises as day goes by.
I loose 1-2% of battery per night. Tweaked settings a bit. . Wifi/Bluetooth/NFC off during night. Check which apps are are eating your MaH in battery usage details during night time. For example my biggest eaters are Google Fit with approx 5 MaH per night and Swift Keyboard with about same + Hardware consumption of course, phone standby, device idle,... I have set most my applications to automatically close after I lock my screen. So I don't have to do that manually.
3% in 9 hours. 3 apps left running in the background (FB, FB messenger, and trigger). BT off, Wifi & mobile data on (2 active SIMs).
Very simple solution how to conserve power and increase standby time during your sleep is to turn off wifi and bluethooth. Unless it's critical for you during your sleep. For example today I went to sleep with 66% battery left, slept 9 hours and woke up with 66%. Less than 1% battery consumed over 9 hours.
I will try this.. thanks
I just got this phone 3 days ago, on its second charge and I went to bed last night at 11 o clock. Went from 92 to 91 percent when I got up at half Pas 6 this morning. Can't complain there
Still on the 126 firmware tho.
Edit/
So I got the update to 138 a few days ago and things looked real bad. At first, for some reason the battery got about 20 percent worse than at 126. I'm not a Facebook user so I can't blame Facebook nor messenger for that, I don't have those apps installed.
Now after a few days battery had gotten a lot better with this firmware and now I can say it's pretty much the same as the 126 update. Maybe even better!

My standby drain is pretty bad for a phone with such a huge battery. I just wiped the phone yesterday (for the third time), didn't recover from backup but set it up as a new phone to avoid the Google Sync problems I previously had. I installed just 8 apps: Twitter, Whatsapp, Telegram, Snapseed, Yelp, Youtube Studio and Spotify.
After 50% have gone, I have 2:50min of screen on time. As you can see, the phone wakes up way too often. In the very beginning of the graph I just unplugged the phone and let it rest. It seemed to deep sleep, but still lost about 6%. I also turned off wifi for an hour somewhere in the middle, but it doesn't show up. The battery life could be just so much better.. It's just disappointing.
I put the screenshots in the Google Drive. Can't post them here for some reason?! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzAs5-iV39iCTUpnYmpiLXJ5WEk
My standby drain is under 0,3%. Really good.

Did you have/keep Wi-Fi or data connection on all this time? What firmware version do you have?

And if if you turn off, it will drain 0%in 7h 8h.
MIUI have this feature? I want that smartphone turn off wifi, networks and these stuffs at 11pm and turn it on at 7am. But only when the screen is locked.
I'm having 5% battery drain at night and I think it's just too much.

That is no way to cut the drain since the drain will be much more while using it. Find out what is draining the battery and control it.
However, if you have root, there is an app called LeanDroid on PlayStore which does what you want and much more.

Thanks, but I think you're not understanding.
There's no app or service draining the battery or abnormal battery drain. It's what we expect from a entire night with everything turned on.
What I want is automatically turn features off (something like airplane mode) when the time reach 11pm and these features turned on at 7am, time that I awake.
Probably the drain would be even lower than already it is.
