Im getting around 8 hours sot which is great but i noticed that when it's on stand by, the battery drains with 2%/hour. On my note 10+ it was 0.5%/hour. So I tested a lot of things and I found out that when i turn on airplane mode (wifi on or off doesn't matter) that it drains only 0.4%/hour. It's even better than the note 10+. So it must be caused by the cellular but I don't know how to fix it. I didn't even use mobile data. Does anyone know what to do?
Try this. And force 4G mode

Welcome to the advertising and spyware driven wasteland of modern tech. I disabled background cellular data for a ton of apps that have no approved business using it, and that cut the drain significantly. Intermittent cellular data also consumes more power in NSA 5G mode.
I still can't block Sony's Game Engine and it's moving hundreds of MB without being turned on.
I use naptime, I tested it to night. Phone spent %6 for 8.5 hour.
I found the solution. I have don't disturb option and data saving ON. In don't disturb option i exclude some apps and all calls and messages because I need them. So I only get notifications from apps i want to. The data saving app limits apps from using internet in the background. With this i get 0.4% battery drain on hour with cellular and wifi.

I remember few xperias ago it was taking 1-2% of battery for entire 8h night.
What is happening with new xperias now
Don't tell me 0.4%/h is good result with all those restrictions. This should be without restrictions.
With this latest update the battery drain got worse: 2% per hour. I have tried as they have commented here to use the data saver, now I am in 4G (5G, 120hz refresh off) but the only way to stop this drain is to activate Stamina mode (Which restricts the functions too much). In stamina mode the off screen general consumption is 0.3%. and I don't use games, only messages and occasionally Twitter.
I have also tried Factory reset and Repair from the Xperia companion but the results are the same.
What is the point of having all these functions: 120hz , 5G, if we cannot use them? We can't even leave the phone on standby because it consumes more than it should.
Thank you guys!

Root, debloat, and install Freaks custom kernel, greenify rogue apps that you still need etc. The drain will get better!

Sometimes, in idle mode mode, my phone drained battery very quickly (see picture). The best way to meet this case is restart phone, everything is back to normal. And battery life very good on idle mode, about 3-4 hours for 1%
I have tried many ways but can not find the cause. Please help me.
I use stock room .62

You are not stock.... you have something misbehaving. Suggest you think carefully about the tweaks, mods, widgets and apps you deploy. And your settings, like WiFi screen off and so on. This is stock .62...

I'm not sure you're interpreting the graph correctly. The drop from 70% - 50% seems to happen much faster than the area you have circled in the screenshot.
I use the "stock room" and remove bloatware. Root by "root xperia", unlockbootloader.
battery 70% - 50% drop faster because i use wifi for web browser.

I see. Have you tried Juice Defender? The paid version is excellent!
You may therefore have a crappy app running after browsing... which I haven't as you can see from my curve. What app are you using for browsing?
Avoid "fix-it" widgets like you have and any task killers.... let Android do its thing. It works.
I use default web browser.
Hmmm... so do I. I've just run the browser for a few minutes and closed it. I will check the battery status shortly and report.
How did you update to .62? I did it like this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20842024&postcount=45
... to avoid "issues" due to flashing over previous builds.
No problem several hours after using Browser...
Also check that the phone is deep sleeping.... other image attached
I have this problem from fw .283, .42 and now .62. I have tried "Force Stop" a few applications running, but have not found cause.
And I will try by installing the new fw .62 and do not delete anything including bloatware.
I have the same problem for fw 0.42.
I had problem with 0battery lvl so I follwed this tut to alteast get the phone working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332399
Now I can use the phone without the charger but after 2-3hours the phones dies and needs recharging. Can't find the problem. :/
Today, I switch from "2G" to "3G" to browse the web. And after return to idle mode, battery drained very fast.
When switch to flight mode, all back to normal (2mA on idle mode).
I think a problem in 3g/2g modes.
Story continues....62 stock (rooted)
Linear discharge
PS: Just noticed that you have a history of "Battery Drain" going back to October... with all sorts of weird builds. Perhaps you should avoid installing loads of half-baked apps and widgets. And builds.
Ever since I installed JB (4.1.1) I have noticed a decrease in life. You probably heard this story before.
The native Battery consumption app shows Android OS uses most energy, followed by Device Idle.
So I installed BetterBatteryStats to have a look.
These screenshot is from this morning. Left the phone overnight untouched (from 12 am on).
Note:
My settings are the same as they were before the JB upgrade. And I use the phone the same way.
No Data Connection?
Why does it seems to be looking for a signal? Is that cell signal? I am in full signal area.
I use T-Mo and my area gets HSPA+.
I have Settings > Wireless and networks> Mobile Networks > Network Mode set to GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode). Leave is as is?
The second most energy consuming is WiFi. I always left is on before the upgrade. It probably always used this much but now it's worse?

Your android OS is consuming waaaaaaay to much power it should be between 7-12%. I'd reflash stock ROM and go from their buddy. Also, wipe your battery stats.

Thank you for responding.
What falls under Android OS?
I use a live wallpaper (Alive Wallpaper in the Play Store from http://alivewallpaper.co) and the screen is off when I am not using the phone.
Is the video wallpaper using power even when the phone is sleeping (or supposed to be)?
Edit: how do I reset my battery stats in the native app? There is no contextual menu.
Its just the processes that fall within android OS....stuff you have no control over

Do you did a battery recalibration?After flash a new ROM is a must.
Battery calibration using this method right?
1. Use your phone till it shuts off
2. Before charging it turn it back on and do it again.
3. With the phone off plug it in and recharge it overnight or atleast 6-8 hours.
4. Turn it on and and use Battery Calibration - by NéMa.
5. Use the phone till it dies again and then recharge and use phone as you normally would.

No, I have never done this.
Thank you for pointing it out.
i was about to start a new thread when i saw this so thought its best to post here. im having the same problem
here is the logcat from my phone. 8hours overnight and down to 41%!

You'd be better off writing in the BetterBatteryStats thread
Thanks. Yea I just have.

Disable Google now, will save loadsa battery
Sent via TCP/IP
Rather than disabling Google Now. Do this
Disable Maps, Whatsapp, Facebook. They all run in background. Use App Quarantine to quickly enable disable when issue required.
Enable mobile network location access.
Also restrict background data of apps that ate high in usage which could cause wake locks.
Google now knows where you are without Maps running, just NetworkLocationService under Google Services in running apps.
Use other battery conserving precautions in conjunction.
You could potentially go for days depending on your usage

I know this is probably the most addressed issue in any Android forum, but I swear I've tried it all and nothing seems to work.
First of all, the drain only happens when on mobile data, I never see it when on WIFI, even on extremely crappy connections like the one I have at work (no exageration here, it's almost dial-up), where you'd think that the device is being kept awake because it takes longer to sync. I've been having this issue for over a week now. Here are some of the things I've tried and noticed.
- I have disabled syncronization from every Google Service (contacts, Gmail, Apps, Fit... everything) and autosync in general is disabled.
- Through Privacy Guard in CM12.1, I denied EVERY permission to Google Services
- Inspite of having denied these permissions, including location, and location being disabled completely, Google Services is still asking constantly for location, as you can see in the screenshots. It has requested location 775 times and woken up the device 669 times (this happened in 24 hours, the stats reset yesterday night when I made factory reset). That can't be normal, right? If i set the permissions to awlays ask, I see not one, but 4 or 5 requests in a row at virtually every screen on or every couple of minutes if the screen is kept on, regardless of if I denied or grant them. Why is it even asking for location when location is off!?
- I've denied permissions to Contacts Sync only because the icon in the battery stats frequently changed to the contacts icon
- The drain may not be massive but it's definitely considerable, it varies between 1.5% and 8% per hour when idle. At least the first hour idle.
- I occasionally see some wakelocks when on mobile data (RILJ is the most noticeable, but sometimes sync related and *alarm* wakelocks are there too) but the drain is there regardless of if the phones sleeps +90% of the time, as it usually does (according to wakelock detector and Better Battery stats anyway), which is very strange to me
- If I leave the phone untouched for several hours, the drain can go down to less than 1%, but it takes at least an hour for the device to get to that point, waking up in the middle to use 5% per hour for several minutes (no considerable wakelocks). Very inconsistent.
These screenshots show the device on wifi using 0.58%. After turning it off it started using 1.47% and then almost 4%/H (it's usually much higher with sync enabled and permissions granted).

These show the request count of Google Services (note location (ubicación) and wake up (despertar)). EVERY SINGLE permission is denied (ignorado) but it still drains the battery!
Has anyone seen anything like this? This started happening when I got the 5.1 OTA. I changed carriers around the same time and the mobile data signal at home isn't very good, but it happens everywhere, even on areas with great LTE or 3G coverage. I'm not completely sure of this, but I think forcing 2G helps.
I'd be immensely aprreciated if someone can give me hint on what the hell is going on here, buecause I just don't get it. Non of the usual approaches work.
Thanks

It's around 1.7%/h for my Snapdragon S10 lite. Is this normal?
It's normal if some media is running in background, for example. My phone has an average of 0,8%/hour according to AccuBattery.
turn off Bixby and google
turn off adaptive brightness
Seems a little high but I'm on a 10+ with 4300ma battery. Adjust accordingly to your battery capacity.
Nominal AOD battery usage should be about 1% an hour. You can enable tap on for AOD to help determine the source of the drain; usage should be very low like that.
Goggle Backup Transport and Backup Transport Framework were causing excessive battery drain for me both with SOT and off.
Update: left my phone at 99% and woke up to 80%
Here is the usage: GSAM
Look at the 5h of Significant Motion Detector usage of Google Play Services and how the Netflix app is using so much battery (I never opened that app since buying the phone...)
I then proceeded to install Better battery stats and found after some hours of usage a huge Spotify battery drain related to the Linear acceleration sensor.
I am getting kind of tired. Since I started using android (Nokia X2, Lenovo K6 power, Redmi note 7 then S10 lite), I have had some kind of a battery drain on all of those devices. Getting tired of troubleshooting problems rather than use the damn phone.
Ditch spotify or lock it down.
You probably have more crapware...
You need to learn how to optimize these phones.
Play with it.
Hey guys its me again.
I disabled Spotify and still have 20% drain overnight...
What can I do please?

Install Galaxy Labs>Battery Tracker from the Galaxy store and see what apks it shows is running at night.
Wipe cache in recovery. View what app use your battery. If this don't help make HR (hard reset and wipe all data , ) if this don't help use guarantee ...
I manually updated to One UI 3.0.
No more battery drain as far as I can tell. I will update with overnight drain.

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):

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.
