I got an LG G5 2 weeks ago and the battery has been outrageously bad. I bought it used and the owned has owned it for 2 to 3 months. There is very little standby drain and the phone is cold to the touch within minutes. Overnight drain is around 10 to 12 percent with always on display which is normal considering the 1 percent per hour loss plus the normal overnight drain. However when I turn the screen on the screen on time is very poor only about 2.5 hrs to 3 hours. The screen brightness is set 20 to 40 percent no auto brightness. There appears to be nothing draining the battery with the screen being the biggest battery draining. I have location nfc Bluetooth and LTE turned off. Along with touch sounds and touch vibration but toggling these settings makes no difference. Its impossible to find out more because I have no root. If this battery continues to be this poor I'm going to be selling it because I cannot stand having to charge twice a day even with quickcharge 3.0 old xiaomi redmi note 3 lasted 2 to 3 times longer on the battery. Any ideas what could be eating my battery?
Hi
I get 4 to 5 hours screen on time and I use my brightness at 75% to 100%, never as low as 20-40% it's too dark.
What apps do you use when you do have the screen on? Maps and games will drop you to 2-3 hours screen on time like all phones, but normal apps (excluding snapchat) will give you 4-5 SOT.
I would turn off always on display, you won't miss it.
Eeeeh , your Android system and android Os are high , screen should consumpt most of the battery about 30-40% mine does 34% with 35% brightness and Phone idle 22% my android system at 9% android Os 6% , if you dont game you get nearly 1 day life from your battery but if you do you need 2-3 timers charging per day , also if you use Data it just sucks the battery like vacum. So there is a drain in your system but its true lg g5 consumps a lot in order to give you performance in priority and not power saving. Dont forget G5s are the only high range phone that you can swip your battery with no deal , they are giving you that feature , Use it!!! You can grab up to 3600mah (2800 stock) extended capacity battery with a wall charger from ebay really cheap and never again have a battery problem. Also this batterys are lithium ones , i saw in your pic 10% i suggest not to go below 20% you are killing really fast lithium batterys if you decharge them!!!

Always on display barely drains any battery. I use apps such as facebook, text messaging, messenger, instagram, chrome, etc. I rarely play games because the second I open a game the battery life is only about 1.5 hours sot.
Well Facebook and messenger should be a couple of alarm bells when talking about battery life surely? Also, you bought it second hand, you have no idea how the previous owner treated the battery in the time they had it no matter how short a period it was.

Hello friends
I have a problem with battery and also unable to turn on the WiFi after update.
I just bought my brand new G5 H860 TWN and updated it, which cause the whole device to malfunction.
please correct me if I'm mistaken. An update is meant to improve the functionality of a device not to destroy it.
Apart from this problem the interesting thing is that non of the LG customer cares know whats causing the problem,
A word of advice to LG. Please Do not make something that you don't know **** about.
yours sincerely
have nice day.

Thanks for your advise my friend, factory resetting the device was the first thing i did, but i did not solve the issue.
i have tried the following:
-Flash other ROMs from different countries for H860
-booted the device into safe mode and tried to enable the WiFi and etc.
my WiFi MAC is set to 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it means that WiFi has not been detected by android. Also the Bluetooth address is defined as "unavailable".
and the worst of all is its battery drain issue which kill my battery within 5 hours in standby mode, while i can not notice any abnormal battery consumption in "BATTERY USE DETAILS" section in Battery usage setting. this probably means that some other consumer(perhaps the WiFi) uses the battery without being listed.

H860? H860 haven't got root nor custom ROM yet. Bootloader of H860's still locked.
I've got a brand new LG G5 which I have been using since Thursday and I honestly can say it sucks big time compared to my 2 year old Z3 which can easily get me 4 hrs SoD on mixed usage. Using the exact same set up of apps, location and wifi/mobile use, I am struggling to see more than 2.5hrs SoD with the G5. Honestly, it just drains battery like no tomorrow and this is fresh battery... I dread to think what it will be like in 2 years. Sony made a lot of mistakes but the Z3 really excelled...
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Google Pixel 4 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Getting an Average of 4.5-5.5 SOT.
Same as my SD855 S10
3 hours SOT here. 12 hour batter. Buyers beware.
I read a review saying if it didn't have such poor battery life it would be one of the best phones, though it is that bad it really holds the phone back.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Same as Pixel 3 and pretty much any other my phone in last few years - about 4h-5h of SOT every charge. Nothing drastic.
Usage pattern per day:
1. ~2h spotify BT stream (in car and to sony wh1000xm3);
2. Never on wifi;
3. Location/BT always ON;
4. 30-60min of youtube;
5. Whatsapp, spotify, youtube, waze, chrome.
Better battery than my S8. Around 4h-5h of SOT along with 26hrs of standby time on first charge. I am happy with the standby drain which was pretty bad with S8.
Usage pattern:
Motion sense off.
Tap to wake/Lift to wake on
Location always on.
Bluetooth for 3-4hours with Spotify streaming.
Whatsapp, Youtube, Facebook, Chrome all in the mix a bit.

yeaaaah...these battery horror stories on pixel 4/4xl are most definatelly overexaggerated. It always depends on the usage, but at least from my expierence and how I use phones almost every phone in last 3-4y gives me my 4-5h of sot..either its xiaomi 9t pro, oneplus 3-5, iphone x, xs max, pixel 2-3, galaxy s9+, its always the same..only phone I have gotten out more is my test phone Iphone 11 Pro .. that phone battery wise is simply amazing! probably the most I have gotten out of phone measuring one week+ of usage with 5-6 full charges, but I couldnt make it my daily driver since I find IOS just too boring + i really disliked the weight of iphone 11 pro in terms how it feels in hand (top part is disproportionally heavy) and limited in few key areas like quickly sharing stuff and so on..just not for me..IOS is ok for me only on tablets (ipad pro 11")
I started with Nexus 4, 5, 6P, Pixel, Pixel 2, Pixel 3 and now Pixel 4. Each iteration of phone provided improved battery life due to better software and better hardware. I was also worried about the battery life of Pixel 4 after reading so many articles about having a smaller battery. I am telling you this. All these articles were based on speculations, none were based on actual usages. I've never complaint about short SOT but always wished that standby drain can be controlled better and I'll explain. If you run a test of SOT when the battery is fully charged, you may get let's say 5 hours out of it but that is not meaningful. On real life usage you'll carry the phone with you 10 to 14 hours a day. While SOT usage varies between person to person, most of the battery were drained while the screen is off. Let's do a simple math here. If you can get 5 hours of SOT out of 100%, that means your phone consumes 20% per hour. On average my Pixel 3 was draining about 2% to 3% an hour with the screen off. In 10 hours I am down to about 75% which would provide 3 to 4 hours of screen time. With the Pixel 4, the standby drain is much better controlled, a big step over improvements over previous generations. I figure the standby drain is about 1% to 2%. In 10 hours I'm down to 85%. Even if the SOT is identical to Pixel 3, I will get at least half an hour more screen on time during real life usage.

Totally agree with your theory on standby drain. I carry two phones, one for personal use and one for work (iPhone). I'm always confident at leaving iPhone unplugged overnight but not for the Pixel. It barely drains 1% on the iPhone overnight. I wish one day we could see this on Android...
btw Pixel drains 10% to 20% overnight depending on its mood
Strange, mine drains 1-2% overnight

the drain is adaptive battery, Bluetooth and wifi scanning. turn those off, once you do, your Google Play services battery usage will be a lot lower.

Both BT and WIFI scanning are off. But adaptive battery is on. I thought it's meant to reduce the battery usage instead of drain the battery?

turn it off and tell me how much better your battery is tomorrow. and if you want performance the way the pixel 4 and 3 were supposed to be, turn off digital wellbeing. it's better to delete it through adb, but just turn off usage access to try, restart your phone and be amazed.

everybody uses their phones differently brotha. you should show a screenshot of your battery stats. if you have bad reception, there's no cure for that.
Mine drains 1-2% over night in a 8 hour period
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 Note 10+'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!
4g drain is much better than it was on the s10, but overnight its still a mixed bag. One night it was 3% overnight, another it was 12%.
One night forgot to charge the phone. It drained less than 5% overnight.
I lose a couple percent per night tops
IMO it would be helpful if posters stated SD/Exynos and stock/debloated/custom . My stock SD runs about 0.5 to 1%/hour and I would be very envious if that couple percent per night was stock also. Once I debloat it and get rid of most of the crap I don't use 2 percent per night would be something I would actually expect.
If wifi signal is strong, less battery drain. If on LTE and the signal is strong, less drain. BUT if wifi or 4gLTE is weak, expect greater battery drain. Also i turn off GPS for lesser drain.
Note 10+
Qualcmm
Power save mode
Stock/disabled unused, unneeded apps and services that I don't use or need.
I lose about 3 percent over night, from 8pm to about 4am. Wish adhell was still available I could've saved an additional 1 to 1.5 percent. That's like an additional 10+ minutes of screen on time wasted.
Note 10+ Exynos
Full monty (wifi, 4G, gps, bluetooth, nfc, sync etc .. ALL on!)
No power saving settings, no bixby routines to save battery, Full WQHD+
Stock
disabled apps: Facebook, Write on PDF and Chrome
So basically everything that could be set to ON, I did turn ON. I like to have a smartphone, not a dumbphone.
loses 5% in 6 hours.

Heh heh heh.....that's like having all the lights, TVs and appliances on in the house while you're asleep in the bedroom. But alas it's your phone, do what you will.
I on the other hand did a few more tweaks and now losing about 2% loss from 9 to 4:30 that's about 1% per 3.5 hours compared to your 1.2 per 1%.
It's an asinine notion to think that having all things on at all times somehow makes your phone any smarter than any other. I mean your phone isn't smarter than any dumb phone if it's not being used. The phone might be smart but the user.....well that's still up for debate.
So just a few questions
Why have services on that you're not using or never will use?
Why waste battery power and charge cycles?
Why do you feel that having all those services on when not being used is better than turning them on only when they're needed?

I didn't say I do not use services. I use those services and features for automation purposes a lot!.
Let me state it otherwise, I (want to) use the full potential of my device all the time. We are talking about 0.2% battery difference per hour. That is 4.8% battery difference over the course of 24 hours. Since I charge my device at least once somewhere in those 24 hours I do not concider that as an issue. It is such a minor difference I personally don't want to bother myself with the hassle of turning off some features, and keep myself reminding to turn them on again the next morning.
And no.. I do not leave my TV on when not in use. But I also do not leave the screen of my phone on while I sleep. But I do use all the possible features of my TV when using it. See the difference?

Hmm, I hear what you're trying to say but your math is wrong. I mean think about it, you lose 5% in 6 hours of idle time, then in a 24 hour period your phone lose 20% of its battery doing nothing.
OK let's put it another way, you lose .83% each hour when you're not using your phone so over a 24 hour period you're only able to use 80% of your battery because 20% is wasted doing nothing.
Over a 5 day period you lose 1 charge cycle count on your battery doing absolutely nothing.
I see that as an extraordinary waste. I on the other hand lose 2% in 7 hours of idle time, that's .26% each hour and about 6% over a 24 hour period. 16 days to lose charge cycle count based on idle time.
.83 vs .26
20 vs 6
5 vs 16
Those are huge differences, so not sure where you got the:
"We are talking about 0.2% battery difference per hour. That is 4.8% battery difference over the course of 24 hours"
But as I've said it's your phone use it how you will. There's no wrong way in using your phone, use it in whatever way meets your needs.
I on the other hand feels that efficiency and battery life are paramount.

hehhehhheh "Standby drain" my friend, has nothing to do with dimming screens or SoT. If you're not using the phone why let it drain and go to waste? why not put it to good use like towards more NFC, more wifi, more bluetooth? more Samsung Pay? more Browsing, screen on time? towards more of the services you actually use?
Losing 20% of your battery power in 24 hours doing nothing is just stupid imo. You know....thinking about it, that 20% wasted battery could've given you about 2 to 3 hours of additional SoT. So instead of getting 5 to 6 hours you could be getting 8 to 9. OH what a difference a "couple percent of batt..." could make.
Man, it has nothing to do with bragging but it has a lot to do with common sense.

Again...I do not care about the difference, because the 20% battery loss per 24h is mostly the time when I sleep and not using the phone anyway. Off course when I'm in a situation where I can not charge my phone, I switch off unused options to save battery. But in normal day use I find on/off toggling too much hassle.
You guys should take your conversation into a DM maybe..

Left my phone off the charger last night, 87% at 12:45. woke up at 9:15 to 82, but about 10 seconds after I started using my phone it went to 81%. This a normal standby drain? Forgot to take a screenshot, but it looked/looks like my Android system is always second to screen in the battery section.

I understand that which is why I said it's your phone, use it how you will.
I just got my Note10+, 5 days ago, and it is draining 31% !!! overnight (7h of sleep). This is really too much, specially considering it is a big battery...
I leave it with everything on (wifi, bluetooth, nfc, etc). I come from an S8 and, in the same conditions, S8 just drained around 9% over night (with a much smaller battery).
Going to the Battery usage, I don't find anything strange, but I see that the data there is not accurate. For example in the last 1 Day I played a game for 3 hours and the battery usage shows only 40m active for that game.
Don't really know where to start to solve the issue...

Woah that is a huge drop I would've lost my mind waking up and seeing that. Did you restore from a backup when setting up your phone? Usually you want to stay away from restoring settings unless going to the same type phone/phone.
Or you have an app that went rogue. Make sure to check your data usage to see if any app used more data that you think it should. Like if you installed a keyboard, it shouldn't be having 300+MB worth of network traffic.
But for what it's worth my guess is it's a Samsung smartswitch restore issue. In which case you'd probably have to do a settings reset or last resort a full reset then only restore your data next time around.
While using the Tab S7+ for almost two weeks now, I consistently get approx. 6 hours of battery life (that is with the screen on 60fps, half brightness and mostly using office applications like Teams, Outlook, etc.). With the huge battery included and some reviewers indicating they are getting up to 10 hours of use, I'm not sure if I have some issues.
What are your experiences with respect to battery life?
My screen on time is very good. Can easily get 10 hours of SOT for light browsing etc. A bit of video here and there.

Thanks! That doesn't sound too good for me
I just have my tab s7 plus. And I get 6 hours and 20 minutes out of my battery with the screen set to 120 hz. You know when your screen is set to 60 hz when you go to settings - display - motion smoothnes is set to standard. I am right now testing how long my battery last when my screen is set to 60 hz. If you want to know which apps are draining the most battery life. Go to settings - device care - battery battery usage. For its Google chrome
Just tested it and I can do 8 hours and 50 minutes on one battery charge while the screen is set on 60 hz. It's not as good as the reviews say on YouTube. But largely better than my very old samsung galaxy tab pro 12.2

Thanks! Still a lot better compared to my 6 hours in low brightness on 60Hz. Guess I will return.:good:

It could be a manufactory flaw. But it is more likely that there are several apps on your tab that are draining your battery.
Mine is not a plus, so not sure if this is helpful. I get 10h from around 86% charge (I don't (dis)charge 0-100).
Mostly Netflix and video calls on wifi, some browsing, reading, and note taking.
This is with 60hz, and battery save feature which is supposed to limit max charge to 85% (Though that feature is questionable from what little testing I did.)
Check what apps are draining your battery. It's not necessarily a manufacturing flaw.
I am from India and i have the note pro 12.2 lte version which crazily enough i use as my primary phone. I have data enabled all the time with auto brightness mode on. I use the Galaxy Note 7 ported ROM for the P905. I use my note pro 12.2 to watch a lot of youtube videos, whatsapp chat, browse the web, checking and sending emails, reading word and pdf work documents, 30 to 45 mins of playing asphalt 8 and into the dead 2 and answering/making 4 to 5 voice calls a day. I get a solid 8 hours of SOT even now when i get the low battery alert at 15%. I got over 9 hours of SOT on Lineage 17.1 android Q but found the features too limiting compared to touchwiz and i missed the spen. And that is battery life on a 6 year old device. I do make sure to not charge it more than 90% and i .com not let the battery dip below 15% before i charge it. I guess i got lucky and got a tablet with a really good battery.
The tab s7 plus has almost the same size screen but has the major advantage of it being amoled versus the lcd screen on the note pro 12.2. Plus with the new power efficient cpu and a 10000 mah battery, i am surprised at the battery life most people are reporting. I guess being than thin comes at a price and there is less power generated mah for mah compared to the 8.8 mm thick P905.
Just got mine yesterday. The battery life is significantly better than that of my Tab S6. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.
Don't know exactly in SOT but working from home, I charge it once a day and am using it constantly from 9am till 11-12pm
I've change the changing procedure to slow. No fast charge, slowly changing and stop at 85(?) Prozent...It will be better for the battery lifetime

There's an in built option to stop charge at 85%. Though from my testing I don't think it's functional really.
I've checked the voltage on 100% with both on and off, and the values were the same.
Maybe someone who has it off could measure the voltage on 99-100 charge? Would be nice to comparte results.
We run CCleaner Pro 5.1.0 [for Android] set with max battery life and automatic cleaning mode. One of the useful functions is a 1-click Boost which puts to sleep/closes apps in batch mode. Appears to help with extending battery duration as we've run 5 days with everyday on/off use (messaging, browsers Dolphin, Puffin, Vivaldi, etc) between charging.
Also set maximum battery charge limit to 85 percent from Settings > Charging > slider button to On [85 percent]
I am a complete noob to the art of monitoring battery heallth & charging, not even sure if my question needs a new thread.
My S7+ has been in use for about 2 weeks. The first day, I charged to 100%, then enabled the 85% charge option and also installed Accubattery and set that to remind me to remove the charger at 80%. I have charged it only up to 80% ever since, on a slow charger.
Today, Accubattery Battery Health is showing Battery Health at 83% capacity. Does this mean the overall health has gone down by 17% in jus two weeks? Or do I need to learn a lot more about meassuring battery health, and if so, is there a dummy's guide anyone can point me to?
I bought it direct from Samsung, haven't made any ROM changes and am using the stock launcher. Love the tablet.

You can see the difference in AIDA64 Premium 1.74 [Android] (set to 100% > charge to full > set to 85% > reboot > charge to full)

Bro, thanks for the Aida64 tip to see the real battery capacity.
It says ( Reported by android ) 9800 mAh
and ( From Database ) 10090 mAh
Was wondering how to see if this samsung feature was acualy working.

What exactly am I supposed to be looking at there?
I have the same issue here. I even went as far as to ring up Amazon and get them to send me a second one as my battery must be faulty if its only getting <50% (6-7hrs) when its advertised to run for 14hrs.
Upon receiving my new one. I did various battery stress tests and found that the new one had an even worse battery than my old one.
(Bare in mind both of them are at factory settings).
I did this test for about a week apples to apples comparison, then eventually returned the new one as my old one (which is only like maybe 2 days older lol) performed better in every single benchmark as well as battery.
So I either got really unlucky receiving two units with bad battery or this is just the norm?
EDIT:
Upon doing a quick google search; it seems like this is true across the board.
https://uk.pcmag.com/tablets/128966/samsung-galaxy-tab-s7
5hrs and 28 mins according to google and this article
Either way, i've noticed if I play a video, it roughly loses 10% per hour; but when browsing i can easily lose 10-11% every 30 mins.
I have the S23 Ultra since February 3rd and battery life gets better and better.
I don't know what to say. I think this s23 ultra is faulty. I can't be at 29% battery used with over 6 hours screen on time! Light use, from 80% charge
15 hours total uptime, 8 and a half hours screen off time, gotta sleep sometime. LIGHT performance profile used and screen at 60hz cause 120hz my eyes can hardly see. It's smoother yes, but barely, battery life is king for me
All on WiFi, location on, most apps sleeping. Gobsmacked. It's beating the redmagic 8 pro that's in the household with its 6k mah battery.
I'm expecting a lot less using mobile data, surely

Amazing battery
This phone is perfect
Got it since February 10th in the USA and I can only say battery has been great. Compared to my other phones ( coming from a pixel 7 pro and a Xiaomi mi 11 5g) the battery life is just excellent on this s23 ultra, for such a big device and huge screen size I think Samsung finally nailed it. No sleeping apps, not profile settings just plain stock and so far so good. Wifi and data on 24/7, location on 24/7, VPN 24/7 . The browser times where spent a huge time watching videos from it, almost an hour of video calling and shooting some video and photos, couple of sessions of gaming.
Full Hd, adaptuve screen, performance mode

How much do you lose on standby? Say overnight, while sleeping, over 8-10 hours how much do you lose ?
My last check yesterday was 3 percent

Thanks, is that with WiFi data Bluetooth GPS etc off? How many hours standby did you lose 3% on?
The amazing battery life has a lot to do with the display too. It is a hugely more efficient panel.
Samsung gave the Galaxy S23 series a new energy-efficient AMOLED display
Samsung confirmed that it has fitted the Galaxy S23 line with a new type of AMOLED display that saves on power.
www.androidauthority.com
All on. Wifi. Data. Location. Bluetooth. Performance mode.
I'm so happy with this battery performance and am afraid to update OS when it comes out...Given the great track record of Samsung breaking things that don't need fixing, there's a high probability that the battery life will go for a toss
Had my s23 ultra since 7 Feb and consistently get just under 10 hours of SOT (most of my day is indoors on WiFi, with a 2 or 3 hours walk most afternoons in 4g)
I am running pretty.much on default settings for screen and battery - I just use my phone normally and forget about battery optimisation settings
This is the best battery.life EVER on a Samsung!
After 2 weeks with the 23u and my standard use of it i have from 85% to 30% (i never go below 30%) 4h SoT

I think it is ok. I use performance mode, all location, Bluetooth with watch, some 5G, some WiFi etc.
I mostly read on phone, scrolling...

Have you done anything specific in battery settings? Any debloating? Is this with wqhd + 120hz? Standard mode or lite mode? What's your battery settings ?

Yes I did debloat, light batter profile and battery saving (it's more than powerfu enough).
Plus I have disabled all the nearby services for smarthings find the phone offline wifi quick share etc.
I don't like having the phone always sending radio signals around for no reason

Can you give a brief list of what you debloated?
Also, android system intelligence service, is that even a necessary app? Would cause any issues if I disabled/deleted it?

Honestly I didn't track the changes, but I followed this guide
[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide
THIS IS A SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES OUT OF SUPPORT/CLOSED I - RECOMMENDED SETTINGS To Start With - Factory Reset before starting optimisations - Factory Reset after every Major update (One UI/Android) - Remove SIM before first...
forum.xda-developers.com
I wasn't even too much aggressive with debloating, maybe I'll go for a second round
