In the last month my battery started to die faster than usual. I chalked it up to a combination of old age, running beta 4.0/4.1 roms and possibly more usage. But when the phone begain failing to reach 100% charge overnight I became concerned. It would often stop between 78-88%. If rebooted at this charge, m it would register as 100%. Ive wiped battery stats using all kinds of combinations. So I bought 2 new batteries and a wall charger to keep one topped. I have lots of USB cables. This hasn't fixed the problem. Ive used the wall charger to start a battery state wipe with no change in results. It seems a lot of people are/have experienced this issue with varied results and suspicions. I've been logging with battery monitor widget and seeing the charging slow to an almost stop depending on where the bump starts. See below. Thoughts?

Looking for Android Development rom insight to find out if charging rates are a function of the rom or the hardware. This only happens when charging with a rom running.
Sent from my Liberty using xda app-developers app
When you charge a battery to full with the wall charger, then put it in the phone, what does the battery monitor widget app tell you right then?
1) Try using a different wall charger and/or charge from a computer USB port instead.
2) Make sure you don't have an app that is running in the background constantly and killing your battery fast. Easiest way to confirm this is to make a backup of your ROM in CWM (so you can restore if this doesn't fix it), then do a clean install and see if you still have the problems.
I've used multiple chargers now with multiple clean rom installs with multiple batteries. All with the sane results. I have phone off charging enabled which once turned on results in 100% charge... but since rebooting has the same affect I'm not sure its really any different.

Your phone is not supposed to stay awake or screen on the entire time it's charging. This problem has nothing to do with battery or charging problems, it's a problem with one of your apps not letting your phone go into a low-power mode.
Hi, I've the same problem with my aria. Since the beginning of this year I cannot have my phone fully charged. It started off with inability to go 100% charged, then it dropped to 90%, 80%, 70%, and now 60%. If there's luck, it can go to 70+%. Hard reset, wiping the battery stats in cwm, charge with different cables/adapters, still the same problem. It cannot beat the battery life when using stock rom. Another thing, everytime I checked with my built-in battery meter, the screen uses 41% of the juice. It seems that everytime I turn off the screen, the phone still uses the battery as if the screen is still on. Any suggestions? Thanks. (I'm using winsuk's cm9)

I'd try running the 2.2.2 RUU on the phone to make sure all the partitions on the phone are not corrupted, and see if you have the problem on the official 2.2.2 stock ROM. (Make a backup first if you want to be able to revert!)
So I was going to post back that this was a clean install with only the basic non background running apps that I've always run like xda... and that it never used to do this. But what you said made sense so I broke my evening habbit and made sure that the screen was off and system able to sleep when set aside to charge. You were right.
What changed was my night time habbit of plugging in and surfing apps before bed and not making sure to turn the screen of before putting it down

I never came back and reposted... but this turned out to be a fluke. I've been making sure the screen is turned off but the battery still wont charge all the way .. usually only to 70%. I've been using my external wall charger to keep a second battery always charged and take it with me. Disappointing but it seems to be hardware related.

I've had a device that has such a problem. Except to an extreme point where my battery % will not go up at all and I didn't stick around to let it go all the way to 1% and die off not able to charge. I brought it to the shop when it just got stuck at 40+% max. And everytime it drops, it would not go up anymore. So the only way is to have it charged 24/7.
As much as I investigated, this has nothing to do with hardware, but software instead. It fails to register the fact that your battery is charged/charging/discharging. And in some cases, when it hits a certain %, it will detach itself to read your battery status while charging, therefore stops the charging process and your battery would drain (sometimes even while charging).
The software is responsible for these. Detecting when your battery is charged, it will stop the charging process and recharge it again when it drops a little lower than 100%. This is how the phone is programmed to avoid "Overcharge". But that role of your software seems to fail.
It's definitely hardware, and I wonder if maybe having it overclocked at 806 for so long had something to do with it.
My buddy and I swapped Aria's to try and troubleshoot the problem. We both have the same clockworkmod installed but decided to reinstall clockwork on both to be sure. We repartitioned both of our class 10 SDCards and formatted clean, we both formatted EVERYTHING on the phone (system, dalvik, cache, data, etc). We both loaded the same CM7 with gapps as we have both done in the past and then we agreed on a common set of minimal apps to download so that we would both have the same apps (apps like Maps, Facebook, and Pulse but nothing more) just the bare essentials to get by for a few days. We didn't even install gmail. Since his phone has been working good, I let him keep his battery and I put my battery in his phone, then I took his phone and he took mine. Less than 24hrs later, he calls me to tell me my phone drains the battery so fast its almost useless, and he cant get it to charge all the way on his charging cables which work fine on his phone. He also noted my phone runs much hotter than his. His phone at my place, however seems to work fine with my batter, charger, etc etc. So after 2 days, he insists we trade back (damn..) and I get my poor aria back - now verified that there is some hardware issue and it doesn't have anything to do with software.
So, I bought a Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket for $9 on att.com and the little aria goes in the tech drawer. It's been fun people, I'll check back in occasionally as it was a fun ride - I'm really gonna miss the trackball
me too!i think it's CM9's BUG

okay ill be just normally using phone then if i turn it off and on again it looses like 20-30% battery and when i charge it at night it will say its at 100% then when i unplug it its at 90% but if i plug the charger back in and go back to sleep i pull it outs and its truly at 100% that doesn't really annoy me but what does is that when i reboot l lose so much battery is this normal if not how do i fix it without rooting?
PS ive alreadys tried blowing dust out of battery port and battery pins in phone
Maybe a poor battery. Did you reset the battery stats? I don't know if that affects it but you could try that. I know that when I turn the phone off and on, some more battery is lost, as if it recalibrates or something, but definitely not as much as you're losing.
Wrong battery stats is a common prob in sgs2..install better battery stats app and monitor what is causing d drain..also when fully charged see what is value..it is supposed to be 4201 mv when 100%..

Battery PEGS at 100%
I have a SIMILAR issue, but not exactly the same as you describe. When I fully charge the phone to 100% the battery gauge at the top will STAY AT 100% desipte the phone running it down. Hours later it will STILL say 100%. If I go into Settings / About Phone / Status it also says 100% there. But if I reboot the phone, THEN it reports the correct battery level and will continue to do so - until I charge it 10 100% again ... then I'm back where I started!

I have the exact same problem, stock phone 100% never any issue b4 it just stays at 100% after I reach it. Battery life is unchanged everything works perfectly normal it just only reports 100% after I charge up to 100%
You folks having these problems should calibrate your battery and see how you go from there.
I have a similar problem, after restarting it when around 60% it drops to 30%.
It's not an issue, though, since the battery drain at 100-60 is a lot higher than 30-0, so it's quite possible that the sensor in the phone is bad, but everything else is fine.
Is the overall battery charge lasting as long as it should? Eg 4 hours screen on or all day off one charge?
You might be placing too much faith in the battery percentage and not enough in how long the whole charge lasts for??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
who is faulty? The battery or s2?
I have exact the same problem. More than that, the battery usage stats shows ridiculous numbers in terms of timing. The battery seems to last normal, but the indicator tells that when 70% you have 2 minutes of battery left. It's the same with the overall usage: It says you have been using the phone for 15 minutes or so, although i ve been using it for 5-6 hours.
The battery itself tends to behave normally when charged to full. But drains very fast till 60% or so, then if I turn it off, it diminishes to 40% or 30%. Then it lasts reasonably longer then 100% to 90% and shuts down at 20% at best.
So what do you think? Is it the battery or the phone which is incredibly faulty?
Presume you have wiped the battery stats and calibrated the battery .
jje
By the way, I am not new to android, I've tried many roms, tweaks, calibrating and wiping the battery stats, applied the tips for better battery life... Nothing has changed.
Battery "calibration" is a myth, it's been debunked by Google itself:
https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT#105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
Stop spreading myths, people!
As for battery losing a sudden percentage of power after charge, I've had that happen in the past... With Samsung stock battery. My Anker battery works fine though, no issues.
You need to calibrate the battery and it would be a good idea to fully charge and discharge the battery a couple of times.

elapsed time instead of remaining time on battery!
I just realized that my s2 shows elapsed time instead of remaining time. Actually it thinks that the elapsed time is the remaining time on battery. The battery is at %96 now and it says that there is 1hour 57min 31s on the battery, but that's the time passed since I unplug the charger. I will post some screenshots as soon as I could but this is the situation now. I think this confusion is killing the mind of the battery. It gets exhausted!
Is it the hardware or what? As I've mentioned, I did all that calibration and wiping stuff, flashed diff. kernels, roms whatsoever, nothing's changed
I just finished dealing with this problem over the past few days. At first I thought it was my Anker batteries as I am always swapping batteries over any given week. The last few days, I'd have a battery with 100% charge and when I would reboot the device or replace it with another full battery, it would show 70% charge and would quickly discharge over the next few hours.
To fix this, I wiped my phone clean. Backed up all data on my SD and External SD. Then I flashed a stock rom, then rooted and put a new ROM back on.
Since then, its been running clean and everytime I reboot or place a fully charged battery in now, it shows the correct charge remaining. It was a pain having to do all this but it worked for me
Thats strange, i would imagine the battery would improve over the course of a couple of days- oh well its worked for you tho! Lol
sent via this forum to your face
Other than everything else I have mentioned, what about the battery draining rapidly after 50%? Till 50% it seems ok. But after 40% or so, it drains almost 1% per minute even if idle! Is that normal? How to fix it? tnx in advance.

I have done all of this and also noticed the time remaining is actually the amount of time the phone has been on. I have trued everything everyone has mentioned, nothing is working. When I do the battery calibration and turn the phone back on, it is at 98%. I have even tried rebooting the phone completely back to original / our of box state. From what I keep reading, it sounds like I will just have to live with this. Also, sometimes when I fully charge the phone, it gets stuck at 100% and I need to restart to "unstick".
I tried searching but from mobile search sucks

Have this same wakelock. I noticed it so I tried rebooting the phone
When I rebooted I went from 69% battery to 15% when the screen came back on. During none of this time was the phone near or on the charger. However I did notice that when the phone cane back on after rebooting when it said 15% battery it also said it was charging and slowly battery began creeping back. Again all this was while I was at school no where near a charger.
This wake lock though has killed my battery and I have no clue what's going on.

VBUS present wakelock caused by using Apple compatible charger
It does not look like this was ever resolved, so figured I would chime in since I have been looking at this for a while.
If you use a charger which is compatible with Apple products, it will cause the vbus_present wakelock since Apple does not adhere to USB standards and requires two of the pins to be bridged or open (can't remember which) to work for their products. However, when you charge a device that does adhere to USB standards with one of these chargers, it will cause the wakelock (on all the samsung phones I have seen, anyway).
Another downside to using an apple compatible charger is that you can never get more than 500ma out of it due to the non-standard USB connection, even if the charger is capable of 2000ma output. So you get slower charging.
When you are connected to any charger, this wakelock will be present. If you use an Apple compatible charger, it will persist after you unplug it and will drain your battery around 10% per hour since it prevents it from going into deep sleep. You can clear the wakelock by rebooting the phone or plugging it into a standard USB charger, such as a PC or Samsung charger, even for a few seconds.
You can use Better Battery Stats to see the effects of this wakelock. Note that it can take a few minutes to show up once you have unplugged from the apple charger.
Yes, this really p*sses me off. This is one of the reasons I no longer have any Apple products in my house and long since thrown away all the Apple compatible wall chargers I once had. It still comes back to bite me since I still have a couple of chargers that contain batteries to charge when you are away from a wall outlet and they both cause this. When I use them I just have to make sure I reboot afterward. The USB outlet I have installed behind the stereo in my car also causes this wakelock. I have one to replace it but have not gotten around to removing the stereo to do this yet.
The next best solution to never using an apple compatible charger at this point would be to have a kernel that addresses this and removes the wakelock after it is unplugged but I don't see this happening.

I guess you meant that with a device that adhere to USB standards, there are NO wakelock ?

There are wakelocks even with those that adhere to USB standards. What I've understood is that those wakelocks are only while the device is charging, preventing from deepsleep. Once the charger is removed, the wakelock goes away. What I understand from the post above, Apple chargers cause the wakelocks to remain even after removing the charger.
Thats what I understood, and I may be wrong. Feel free to correct me.

My EVO 3D will jump from random percentages up to 100% charged. During one charge it'll go from 81% to 100% within just 5 minutes with the light turning green. The next time it'll go from 93% to 100% skipping the numbers in between. I'm pretty sure it started after I rooted my phone but before I put a custom ROM on it. I ran it for a month or 2 rooted stock and it has continued doing this with a custom ROM. I don't understand why its doing this.
This actually has me wondering if my battery is even charging fully or if its just reporting that it jumped up to 100% when its only within a few percentage points of the previous reading. I'm using Battery Monitor Widget so I have a log of this happening. The only time it didn't happen was the one time that I unplugged my phone repeatedly once it got up to 80%. I unplugged every few minutes until it hit 100%. Then it reported that it increased a few percent every 5 minutes until it hit 99% at which point it always takes a long time to reach 100%.
Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone have any idea whether it really is charging fully or what is going on?
Sent from my EVO 3D running viperROM via Tapatalk
This sometimes happens to me too and the 99% stall has been like since I got the phone on launch day. Usually a reboot while unplugged sets it to the correct %.

The EVO3d has horrible battery state reporting... Plain and simple. As long as you're around 4350mv you should be fully charged.

Every once in a while mine will do this, when I shut it off and pull the battery then reboot it seems to stop it for a few weeks.
Have you tried calibrating the battery? Battery Calibration app
Try this
I had a similar issue.
Try this:
Drain the battery all the way down.
Once drained, make sure the device is powered off (should be already due to depleated battery) and plug it in USB to your computer. Don't use the wall charger.
Let it charge for a couple hours (Don't be fooled by the LED). Poer the device back on. It should read 100%.
Use as normal. Not sure why this helped, but it might be a concept similar to trickle charging a car battery.

You should really be at a max of about 4185. Have you tested the battery with a multimeter to see if it is at 4350, because if it is... that is rather dangerous.
As for the post directly above mine, trickle charging is bad for the battery if it's left continually on, it should be at max capicity for too long otherwise you will damage the battery.

I'm going to have to disagree... The og evo has a stock 1500mAh battery and everyone who had one knows that 4200 mv was fully charged. Now the 3D comes with a stock 1730mAh which is full around 4350 mv

I have also noticed this similar issue. When i charge my battery to 80% then it after short time dropped to 60%. i have seen this behavour just once or twice.
personally I am very happy with the battery performanece as I can get easilly over 48 hours even more.
Can depend on the type of battery.. Some can be shot or old... Also some roms have scripts in it that help cal the battery... Which can do some funky stat readings....
I haven't had this issue since I been running a stock build..... Have you let it die dead and let it get a full charge over night?
When I first flashed viperROM 2.1.1 I followed some instructions I found in a forum, I think, for calibrating the battery. If I remember correctly, what I did was charge the battery to 100%, clear the battery stats (which I've since read is just a placebo), drained the battery till the phone died, charged to 100% again, let the battery drain till it died a 2nd time and the charged it to 100% again. Then I used it normally. This procedure didn't seem to do anything, positive or negative.
And after reading the posts by @gunfromsako I looked at Battery Monitor Widget, which I've been using for quite some time, and my phone gets up to 4361mV. Not only that but after looking those numbers over I notice that it can climb to 4359 or 4361 before it ever reaches 100% charged. Then when it finally gets to 100% it can already be back down to 4258. Look at my screenshot. It went from 4359 at 99% charged to 4258 at 100% charged! AndI've actually seen it at 4359 when it's just 78% charged. What is the deal with this phone?!?

When I first flashed viperROM 2.1.1 I followed some instructions I found in a forum, I think, for calibrating the battery. If I remember correctly, what I did was charge the battery to 100%, clear the battery stats (which I've since read is just a placebo), drained the battery till the phone died, charged to 100% again, let the battery drain till it died a 2nd time and the charged it to 100% again. Then I used it normally. This procedure didn't seem to do anything, positive or negative.
And after reading the posts by @gunfromsako I looked at Battery Monitor Widget, which I've been using for quite some time, and my phone gets up to 4361mV. Not only that but after looking those numbers over I notice that it can climb to 4359 or 4361 before it ever reaches 100% charged. Then when it finally gets to 100% it can already be back down to 4258. Look at my screenshot. It went from 4359 at 99% charged to 4258 at 100% charged!

Have you tried any other non tweaked roms to see if it fixes it? Also try another battery..
I just looked back at the log that Battery Monitor Widget keeps and this was definitely happening BEFORE I rooted. I thought it started after but I think the logs are more accurate than my memory.
@reaper24 I've only ever tried the ROM I'm on right now which is viperROM 2.1.1. I really want to try MeanROM. I'm not sure what would be a "non-tweaked" ROM though I'm sure MeanROM is not included since that ROM seems to be tweaked to the max. LOL
Also I unfortunately don't have another battery to test.

BMW is a good reference but I don't trust it totally. Like others have suggested a battery calibration will help. Usually for me after 3-4 cycles it starts to level out. It will start reporting weird if im doing a bunch of flashing too. None of this really bothers me, I know my battery all too well and can tell when it is lying... Lol

Just show it some TLC
@OP
I would give it a while if it still dicks up... Go to another rom.... Last thing is a battery... If that isn't any good ... Another charger If all else is dicked take to sprint
Given that I've seen BMW Pro show +25000mv, and other interesting readings I certainly don't trust it, and that's on a O2X, not a Evo 3D.
Anything over 4.2v is bad for Li-ion, also letting the battery totally die is bad for it, and will shorten it's life span. So.. either your phones are reading the voltage of the battery incorrectly or your phone is dangerously charging the battery. If the tech used in the battery was 3.8v rather than 3.7v li-ion then it wouldn't be a problem, but 3.7v li-ion max is 4.2, and 3.8v li-ion max is I believe 4.3v (They are incompatible battery types with chargers btw).
For reference, mine show's up as fully charged @ 4.212v which is higher than I would actually like it to be.
I can't help on the 'jumping' issue.. I would take a look at the voltage to see what's going on with the battery. If the battery (look at voltage graph) is draining gradually/smoothly with no sudden drop, then something is messed up with the stats most likely.
My phone's battery reporting is unbelievably horrible! Ok so after reading some of the posts here, I tried rebooting the phone to get an accurate reading of how much of a charge I had left. The first couple of times I did this, days apart, the number went down a lot! I've done it 3 times in the last day and now the number goes UP!
Just now, it had 2% left and I just plugged in and rebooted. It went all the way up to 22%. So I unplugged the phone and the percentage starting dropping at an insanely impossible rate. It dropped 2% per minute on average and as fast as 2% in 30 seconds with a couple of drops while on the homescreen & Tapatalk. So I let it continue to drop and it got down to 7% and died. I'm assuming that means that 2% was the correct reading before I rebooted the phone. I did get about 7 1/2 hours off that charge with the screen on the whole time. Not sure how good that is but it seems decent to me.
How am I supposed to have any clue at all how much of a charge this thing has because obviously even rebooting the phone doesn't give me an accurate reading!!* I just don't know what to do with it anymore. I have no idea how much battery power is left at any point in time. I've tried a few different apps that show the voltage and they all show the same number. The same goes for the battery percentage, so its the phone itself thats reporting wrong, not an app. I even cleared the battery stats, despite reading that it doesn't work. I figured it was worth a try. I did that once in recovery and I tried the Battery Calibration app that was recommended here as well. Would a new battery make any difference at all since it seems like its the phone thats reporting the percentage wrong? I mean the battery lasts for a decent amount if time, tho not as long as I would like but thats typical with these phones.
@Scougar you said that if it was 3.8v then the voltage would be OK. Well I took my battery out and looked at it and on the back it says "Rating 3.8vdc." Is that the number you're talking about? Btw thats the stock battery. And it actually goes as high as 4364 mV sometimes. Even if its rated for 4300 its still going quite an bit higher than it should but I guess there's nothing that can be done about that?
Sorry for the length of this post. LOL

Hi all,
I am running and unofficial (4.3) build of carbonrom, but the same was happening on the last stable build (4.2.2).
I have not checked to see if this happens on the stock ROM yet.
My battery percentage jumps down occasionally during use. So far it seems to happen only twice from a full charge. First when the battery hits 60%, it jumps down to 49%, and next when the battery hits 35%, it jumps down to 20%. I will post pictures of the battery usage screen next time it happens.
What are possible reasons for this happening? Any fix suggestions?
Thanks!
Well, I dont know exactly but this happens to me either on stock or custom rom. My system 1 is stock rom and I have made 1% battery and it always jump especially from 29 to 20, the second rom is slim bean 4.3 and the battery jumps at the same stat...maybe its razr 1% issue...I dont know exactly..
Hello me!!! Its me again!!!
Same here,on carbon.

which build?
It happens to me all the times, and I'm on stock ICS firmware, on my XT910. It does two jumps, as you stated, one around 60-55% and the other one (this is the most notable), from 29% to 20-19%.
i got da same problem....
im on stock jb ,
when batt. hits 20-25% , its jumps to 5%...
but its only happen when batt. gets bellow 30%....
Had the same problem with my razr, draind the battery till the phone died, left the phone to charge (the phone was off) till it was 100%, draint it again and no problems after that
Same here! I thought I was alone, my battery jumps from 29 to 20 in a heartbeat...
I was too lazy to write a post about it
Inviato dal mio XT910 utilizzando Tapatalk
So this weekend I drained my battery completely, charged to 100%, drained again, and charged again. Will report back later tonight with whether or not the battery is still jumping.

So I tried flashing the JBX kernel this weekend, to see if it was a kernel issue, and no luck. Maybe I've just messed up my battery =\ Oh well... If anyone is a dev/knows a dev, maybe they could take a look so we can get their opinion.
no you have not messed up your battery i had the same issues and went to the cm10.1.3 rom and it is the best in the world lol at lest compared to cm10.2 lol

So (in your opinion) it's probably a ROM issue?
Yes! I have seen a lot of roms not really having God battery and all the roms with android 4.2.2 have very good battery

This happens on any ROM I run, 4.2.2 included. That was where I first noticed the battery jumping. It also happens on the stock ROM, which is why I'm guessing it's a battery issue.

I think its 1% issue on razr...never happenned with 10%. Im just curious, is the battery value really drops, or it's just the stats? Maybe on certain stats it doesnt drop that fast in cost of dropping on other certain stats. Strange, its hardware and sensors...how could this happenned? I have decompiled systemui.apk and find that I still have the original stats there along with the 1% stats...original stats drops from 28 to 15 (I can remember the lower value exactly) if Im not mistaken. What if I deleted the original stats? I should try this sometimes when I have time...
Hello me!!! Its me again!!!
hi!
How many installed ROMs do you have? Do you use BMM or SS?
I have last BMM, stock in 1 slot, 4.3.1 SlimBean in second. I use always second. May I will delete stock sometime.
The battery %% is nothing.
The battery voltage is everything. But android has problems with battery % usage.
Install some application to see battery voltage (I have "Android assistant")
100% battery is around 4.2Volts.
0% of Li-ion battery is 3.0V, but usually controllers keep discharging only till 3.3V. Andoid discharge to 0% - 3.5V.
If you check voltage, you will see that it is only decreasing but two installed ROMs show bettery % different.
Possible solution with all battery problems:
1) charge 100% in system. disconnect charger. (Better to use original charger, not PC)
2) Power off
3) connect charger and charge till 100%.
4) disconnect cable.
5) load to BMM of SS
6) check battery %
7) connect charger and charge 100%
8) find command: wipe battery stat
9) reboot and load to your ROM
For future: install new ROMs only with connected charger and 100% battery.

Well actually, this isn't unique to the RAZR alone as I have an Atrix 2 and experience the battery jumping with all roms and 1% battery mods as well. Our locked bootloaders are thought to be the cause as well as your explanation, so there's no way around it (unless yours behaves properly ).

Hello,
I'm using a pixel 6 with two cards sim.
When I go to sleep the phone is fully charged and internet/wifi is turned off.
When i wake up i have 88% battery (I lose 1,5% per hour).
In battery use i see Ims Service.
I did a test and in airplane mode the battery loses 2% throughout my sleep.
somebody know how to fix problem?

Many functions could be causing this. I have used accubattery in the past to see what is causing my drain. A few things to think about, do you have "hey google" and always on display active? I have seen these are large drains in past Pixel devices. It could also be an app that won't let the phone sleep properly.
I am satisfied with the battery consumption. You can easily use the device for 2 days.I am satisfied with the battery consumption. You can easily use the device for 2 days.
Aod off hey google off
1.5%/hr is in the realms of power consumed when in weak cellular coverage. What's the signal strength for each of your SIM's networks?
Also an app or two may be sucking data or keeping the phone out of deep sleep more than it should. You have Bluetooth devices like a watch connected too?
I don't use anything connected via bluetooth. I did not check the signal strength but I live in a big city so it should be ok.
Either way, the impact of low signal strength alone is likely to be similar regardless of the model of phone.
Keep the phone plugged in while sleeping......
Years ago keeping a phone plugged in at 100% battery capacity would actually reduce the battery's life expectancy. However today phones have special charging circuits that actually disconnect the battery from the charging power when it reaches 100%. Once the battery reaches 100%, any power that the charger is providing is directly powering the phone's functions - it does not go through the battery to do this. This means having a phone plugged in for extended periods of time does not reduce the battery's life expectancy anymore.
This may help explain it better....
In the old days.....
When the battery is less than 100% power looks like this:
Charger ---> Battery is taking current --> Battery supplies power to phone function (releasing current)
When the batter is at 100%, power still looks like this:
Charger ---> Battery is taking current --> Battery supplies power to phone function (releasing current)
Today's phones look like this.....
When the battery is less than 100% power looks like this:
Charger ---> Battery is taking current and Charger --> supplies power to phone function
When the battery is at 100%, power looks like this:
Charger ---> supplies power to phone function while the battery is idle (not taking or releasing current)
I don't profess to know about this topic bit have recently installed accubattery where charging the battery to only 80% for example gives less cycles which as a layman I assume would increase the longevity of the battery?
I've just noticed something odd that didn't happen on my P5. From 100% down to around 80 the battery is draining relatively quickly. At 80 it hardly budges. The P5 was steady drain throughout the cycle. I'm going to keep an eye on that one. Curious if anyone else sees that.
As for determining draining apps I've used BBS for years. I look at alarms and partial wakelocks. Overnight anywhere between 0.5 and 0.8% / hour. Same apps same everything the P5 was 0.1 - 0.4. I think it will get better but overall not horrible.

Yes. The app explains this, saying that the more you charge your battery to 100 the more damage you do to it. Charging to only 80% or whatever amount of power you need is ideal and prolongs the overall health of your battery.
I have similar issues just not Ims service.
Just waiting for a day when I have time to factory reset.

Try using a battery app to see more detailed information about what's causing battery drain.
Have you taken any steps to try and resolve? How old is your sim card, and what kind of cell reception do you get?

I thought it was the SIM card and then i moved to eSIM which made no difference.
I generally done nothing to resolve as i started to suspect the drain was due to the migration causing some setting to mess up. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset setup from scratch would help as there were similar problems with Pixel 5 upgrading to Android 12.
Just that the reset will take a lot of time and effort.

It's been reported that a factory reset has helped some folks who had large battery drain or issues with mobile network standby after migrating from their old phone to the new 6. I may attempt as well.
I had a problem with excessive battery consumption, I already know that it was caused by data transfer from my Pixel 5. The factory reset helped.

What numbers are you getting now? I'd like to not lose 1-2% an hour when the phone is asleep and not in use. I'm also annoyed with mobile network standby being in use all the time, despite never having an issue with it on my prior phone and even work phone, both pixels.
