Fot those who have the SmartBand, how does it affect battery life? Do you use it 24/7?
I use it 24/7 and have noticed zero difference in battery drain..due I believe to Bluetooth 4.0. Battery is so good on this phone it honestly never was even a worry for me.

Yes I do..
I started using the smart band days after the phone. So again I don't have much to compare to. I use my phone a lot for web, texting, some calls and stream music most all day. None of it on WiFi. Take it off charge at 6am. Home from work at 5pm always with over 50% battery left. Go to bed about 11pm using it all night with 25% or so.
Now you have me curious. Maybe I'll go a day or two without...just haven't ever thought about. Battery is killer.
Lifelog drains battery - yeah...
Just check Power Management and you'll see it - for me it was always "nr 1" on consumption list, above screen and I always use 70-80% screen brightness...
I'm not using lifelog anymore, I simply don't need it..
I have smartband for notifications and I'm very satisfied with it.
I even sold smartwatch when I "found" smartband.
It was sitting in box and I thought it's only for fitness...boy how I surprised when I tried it

Just got my smartband and it comes in handy a lot. I keep it all on except for locations.
I noticed a battery drain but a lot of comments on the play store say it's the latest update of lifelog which is the reason for it.
You need to go to the logger settings and disable physical motions on phone to stop the drain. It's just for car and cycle logging anyway, which doesnt even seem to work so well.

Exactly how mine is set....probably why I wasn't getting significant drain.
Love this thing for notifications. I work in a noisy environment and always missed notifications. Such a sensitive place, the wrist.

Thank you so much, I completely missed that "hidden" page.
@Sichroteph No problem! There's quite a few hidden settings like this in sonys apps. It's always worth having a search for them.
If you are interested I spent a couple of hours building a no battery draining Tasker app that lock your phone when the smartband is too far. (root required)
It can also detect the day or night Mode for special phone actions (sound mute, dim screen light, Airplane Mode etc...)

Smartband, this is mostly just me sleeping for 9h and 2h awake.

I had both my Smartband and SmartWatch SW2 paired and battery life was still great. No complaints from me and I'm a heavy user.

Just an idea, if you were sleeping then the smartband logger was the only little activity in your phone. (25% of nothing is nothing)

still almost double drain and wake every 5 and a half min from sleep. Not sure the band is worth it - for me. I just enjoy being able to have it in my bag/backpack and getting vibrations for calls/notifications. oh well. not the place to rant about functionality.

Sure would be nice to hear some of the tricks people use for saving battery life. I see plenty of screen shots showing off your battery life, not many tell how.
Please don't bash me for what I have frozen. Phone works fine for me. YMMV. You will notice that I have pretty much nothing ever syncing, that is fine with me. I am always looking for more to freeze...

3 AnTuTu's run to check if that crashes it. AnTuTu is not a good way to check for stability though, I highly recommend using your Internet browser and loading websites with your agent set to Desktop. Try scrolling while the page is still loading, and try a cluttered website filled with posts like: http://gosugamers.net/general/. Also be sure to see if your phone can wake up out of sleep!

On average I lose 1% battery a hour with screen off. In good wifi/cell reception that is.
What do you folks do?
advance task manager works great, set it up to kill all apps at screen lock
1% an hour sounds about right. I'm not sure you're going to get much better than that. You could check out the battery drainers thread for info on finding wakelocks.

Its been discussed a number of times in various battery related threads. The issue is that you end up killing a lot of tasks the phone needs, so it has to restart them all the time, which is less efficient than leaving them running. If you have a rogue app draining your battery becuase it isn't shutting down there are better ways to deal with it.
Is this 1% an hour drain with the radio on or off? Ill have to check what mine gets with it on, but when i turn my radio off i get 1% drain every 4 or 5 hours

My Z2's battery is draining really, REALLY fast. In a normal day I only use it to check whatsapp sometimes and mostly to hear some music.
I have Existenz 3.5 installed on my phone and I thought it might be rom related issue so I clean install a couple of times and nothing happened. Then, I checked on the battery stats and saw that the Whatsapp was the app that was consuming the most amount of battery (30%) then the Google Play Music (around 9%) and so on... So I decided to greenify Whatsapp... Still the same thing.
While all this happened I should say that auto sync was disabled, I was using 2G, the minimun brightness and barely turn my screen on.
After all this happened I decided to put the phone into Android's battery saving mode, still nothing happened. I don't now what to do, I also already calibrated my battery.
Is this soft-hard ware related problem? What should I do?
P.S.
I'll post the screen capture as soon as my phone wakes off it's dream.
How old is your phone?
Try to uninstall whatsup (or freeze) for one day and check the results.

Sound like the mobile radio active bug. Go to Settings -> Power Management -> Battery Usage and have a look at whatsapp. Does it look like my image below (note mobile radio active for hours)? If so, it's the mobile radio active bug and it's an android bug. You'll need to kill whatsapp or toggle mobile data on and off.

I bought my phone in February so I guess it's not that old. I already froze WhatsApp on Greenify.
Yes, the bat stats look like that, radio usage is waaaaaay big. But that workaround haven't helped me since I've been toggling it a couple of times per day (I go to college then to my home)
Something weird is that yesterday when I was at work sometimes I started to feel the heat on my leg and then I take out my phone and put it on my face, so I can now the temp better, and it was hot. I don't like that because I'm only listening music, c'mon
Thanks for the help.
P.S.
If there's a bad batch of Z2s, could you tell me the name so I can compare it to mine?

There's a Xposed module that may fix the problem for some people, you could try that.
Or turn mobile data off when you're not using it. And greenify doesn't kill an app or helping this issue at all it needs to be forced stopped.
Finally the heat could be related to this issue. The problem is that the phone keeps powering the antenna when it shouldn't be.

Hi!
Right now I use Amplify (paid) and Powernap to save my battery phone.
I was thinking to use greenify (bought version) too, but i do not know if it will be usefull:
Powernap stop pretty much all the apps to wake my phone (except whitelisted ones)
While Amplify let me block system and whitelisted apps to wake my phone too often.
Does greenify would be usefull?
Will it have problems with these two other apps?
thanks a lot!

You don't require all three. One or a maximum of two will do. What those are will depend on your usage, setup, phone, ROM etc.
I am using Amplify and Greenify along with LeanDroid. Now the battery stats shows a horizontal line when the phone sleeps. Previously I used PowerNap also.
Amplify limits the Wakelocks and alarms whether the phone is awake or asleep. Greenify hibernates apps that are no longer in use and using Aggressive Doze, it completely stops wakelocks and alarms during sleep. LeanDroid controls your WiFi and data and stops them when you no longer use them.
This combination works perfect for me.

I'm on 5.0.2
For amplify i do not have followed any guide, i just limited any "safe" service, wakelock and alarm (custom time instead of 240s, from 300s to 900s, depends on how much i care for it), plus all the "unknow" ones who drained my battery (standard timer for that)
But remember that this is a "best case", so no app in background, strong wifi signal, night (so less push notification from IM apps and mail), etc, in everyday use it's not as good (still really good, but no 0.3%/h XD)

Thank you, I haven't run across that one yet! That's big help!
I stumbled across the below sensor (BSS_InDisplaySensorHelper) being one of the culprits for higher than usual battery drain.
It appears to be the fingerprint sensor displaying on the AOD. To stop the battery drain set show icon when screen is off to never. This appears to drain the battery regardless if you use AOD or not. I'm assuming this would effect all devices across the galaxy s21 range, maybe others can confirm?
You can use gsam battery monitor to check if you have the same issue on your device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Hope this helps others as it worked for me.

Check to see if you have the same drain regardless if you use AOD or not. Possible sensor bug that needs to be corrected by Samsung with an update.

AOD probably is not be the issue. Other apks like Google play Services, Backup Transport, Framework and any other cloud apks will commonly run in the background with the screen off eating globs of power.
Worse, they're aren't always reported correctly ie another apk is actually the perp.

I've noticed the same. This wakelock has always been there. However aod off seems to improve battery drain.
Hi, I have the same problem here except the option to disactivate it is greyed out because of power saving (which means it's either no the cause of the problem or one of the many ways samsung is ****ing with the user with contradictory options)

I never have used the fingerprint sensor or screen lock on either of my Note 10+'s.
Not even tested it.
The amount of potential trouble it could cause is epic with nothing to gain.
Double tap on/off
If this is the cause the work around is simple, turn it off. I can almost guarentee you that isn't the only app running in the background though.
It may not be the worst offender.
Also keep in mind app usage is sometimes misreported by the phone.
I just bought my S21 (exynos) 1 week ago. One UI 4.0 installation was a clean one. My friend bought an S21 FE (exynos too) at the same time.
I have a battery drain problem. He has not. I know these are not the same phones but not so different though. He can get 7-8 hours of SOT but I can get 4-5 hours most.
Here's my latest graphs (in turkish but I'm sure you'll understand):
https://imgur.com/a/aG0gWoT
Is this a normal draining? I performed any tricks that I found in the internet. But nothing changes. Now I'm using BBS to get the issue but nothing is unordinary.
Is it me or my SoT is low, I've been trying out the different modes, I even dialed the clocks down and I'm running on durable, today using mainly Instagram I got 4hours

Either Instagram or messenger seem to block your phone from going into sleep.
Do you close these two in recent apps menu? If not you could try that...
I'm not using both of these apps so I can't test.

I use AccuBattery and routinely get ~8%/hr screen on rate and 0.8%/hr screen off rate. It looks like something is running in the background (as einfachgaer guesses with Instagram and Messenger). If doing as he suggests doesn't seem to help, you might want to consider going into app info and modifying the data and battery settings for each app. To do that, press and hold on the icons until the menu pops up, then select App Info. From there, you should see Data Settings and Battery Settings; open Data Settings and select the option to prevent it from using background data, then open Battery Settings and select Restricted. Finally, select the Force Stop button for both.
Hopefully it gets resolved soon!

I had a call in messenger using the camera so the battery drain is probably from that, also Instagram I've been using it a lot with watching reels. I restricted both apps and further dialed the clocks

Finally, select the Force Stop button for both.

For some reason Accu battery couldn't measure my health after 5 charges in fact I after 10-12 of charging it from 5-10% to 90 it couldn't asses the health it kept saying it didn't detect any charges below the 15% threshold, I've put the clocks even further as I replied to @einfachgaer now my screen on is 13% discharge and 1.20% during screen off. Tomorrow I'll post the results going to use it today see how it fares
Update the is is my current SoT after whole day of heavy use of Instagram scrolling through reels mainly and a video call.
I feel like it could be at least 6 hours due me under clocking the CPU quite a bit and running in durable mode, but with 120hz. Anyone want to share their SoT?
Something's wrong with your setup, my phone is completely stock , and from 80% charge i have it on 30 after 12+ hours of use and 4+ hours of SoT . I will try to get more precise data
Light use with WhatsApp and browser mainly. Wifi (90%), 4G (10%) and brightness to 70-80%
Here's my yesterday stats
I'm on 32.2040.2040.23 with clean slate installed plus dialed down clocks it's feels like I'm having twice as less battery than it should be, screen on drain is 15%
Something is definitely wrong with your device not going into proper deep sleep.
Yesterday I installed Accubattery, so not much data, but it should be enough to show that the battery consumption is very different.

I use Sleep Cycle during my sleep, but I use the phone charger not to lose any battery so this couldn't be the reason, another app is YourHour which tracks my usage, going to remove it and redo the tests, also went to 90hz instead of 120hz. If this continues I will do a clean install on the whole phone. Kind of sad because I love the size of this phone and the feel it had, I am waiting for the gcam update so the photo quality comes even more.
Yeah, I got a good 9hr SOT on a medium use day while bone stock. Something's definitely wrong with your device.
Just took the plunge and bl unlocked so I'll let you know how much the kernels do.
Quick update: I fully cleaned the device and found out that wallpaper engine was running in the background without stopping and not reporting for some reason on the battery stats, also for some reason the wallpaper I was using wasn't running as pre-rendered but high quality preset, maybe something happened when I transferred my data from my Zenfone 6, battery seems to be way better now will post a report probably tomorrow.

Hope you got better results. This is my phone after a typical workday, so you definitely have a hardware issue if resetting didn't fix it.

Well this are my stats since yesterday I decided to use a lot of Instagram to check how much would it drain, plus having two video call for a total of 40mins. And the second screenshot is from couple of days ago honestly I feel like I should ask for a replacement or my expectations are way higher than they should be
Update on this once again I find it weird that I lose 30% of my battery with screen off, could someone post their display off stats?
This guy on reddit definitely has a different experience than you

im also getting highish usage compared to others, wonder what the cause might be. Were you able to fix it?
