Galaxy S21 SM-G991B battery drain - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

I got this phone 1 month after release. It's been doing well but recently I've been noticing wierd battery drainage while the phone is off. It's lasting me around half a day, maybe 2 hours more. This is under normal usage. Downloaded music off spotify, my watch and headphones on bluetooth. It occasionally gets hot in my pocket and appears to drain around 25% sitting overnight with AOD off.

Cloud crap. Google backup Transport maybe.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if the helps at night. Backup Transport is one of it's dependencies but that may not be enough to kill it completely.
One reason I like a SD card; it greatly reduces or eliminates the need for cloud storage.
Disable all Samsung, Google and carrier feedback. Disable Google Firebase too.

Saddly google backups happend during the night while charging, samsung cloud is inactive and battery usage shows that Google Play Services consumes less then One UI. I also found it very hard to recreate the problem using a different phone, like huawei or other samsungs.

Tap on AOD >.5% @hr
Always on AOD >1%@hr
That's on my N10+. If you're not seeing better than that, there's somethings running in the background. Probably Backup Transport is at the top of the list.

70% Battery Usage by Google Maps!

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.

Google Services Battery Drain (Sense 5 Port)

So this has happened twice now. First on MeanBean and now on Sense 5 Port. Well here's my story
I wake up, then 3 hours later my battery life is dead. Looked at the battery consumption and usage and it was in fact Google Services.. again. I don't know how I fixed it the first time, but damn its annoying and it overheats my phone like no other. Is there a way to fix it?
Searching online I found that factory resets and all that work, as well as disabling google now, done both but still nothing. Do I just wait it out?

Clear data in Google play services and play store, then head to sync and accounts and turn Google sync off, reboot your phone, once the system is loaded go back and re-enable sync and wait for everything to sync, all of the Google services that you have selected should have a green checkmark, open play store and make sure you have the latest version... After that you should be good...

I mentioned this in the original sense 5 thread, but check your playstore version. If it is below 4.1.10, then search for a more recent version. I think there is a leaked version of 4.2.3. That should do it.

Battery Bug

I just got my S5 on Monday, but there is a bug w/ Google services or something. I can post photos here, but the services is using too much of battery on stand by if anything. Google + used 25% of my battery from like 10 am to like 4 pm, so I disabled it since I don't use it at all. I have no location history set up and I have Google Now running, never use it, but sometimes nice to have.

What's your location mode? If it's high accuracy or battery saving, that's why. It keeps the google location service running and constantly polling for your location even with location history off. Google Now is also a big battery drain.

This is my third S5, but newest one on Monday, but it's location history off. I went to Best Buy to get a reflash on my S5 and now it's fine, but now, Lookout is eating up 20% of the battery. Can't have it near perfection w/ technology, meh.

Huge 3G Data consumption by Google Play services - uses too much Battery

Observing this issue since i got my Nexus 6P, Google Play services are always on top of the list on battery consumption.
If you check details of consumption - it shows mobile radio active for too much hours even if mobile is on idle mode. You can see wakelocks even when the screen is off.
Observation: I don't use wifi unless i have to install some app or download some games data, for other things I rely on my 3G data of 1GB. But I have observed consumption of that got increased with Nexus 6P - it's (1GB) hardly lasting for 10 days. Actually I am not using data as much I use to in my Galaxy S3, even then its consumption is very high.
Something is always running in background which is consuming this data.
I guess it is google play services which is consuming this huge data.
Is anyone else observing this (If somebody observed very closely on battery & data consumption) ?
Seems extremely strange... Have you checked what background services are set to sync? I mean mine is active sync on every option possible and I never experience huge consumption.

I have all sync On as I don't want any app to not sync with server and even on my last galaxy S3 I use to do that.
On my nexus 6P (Not-rooted yet), i have installed greenify to hibernate few apps as well like - Facebook or any other app which normally run in background even then there is no improvement i can see on battery or data consumption.
I am sure if this Google Play services some how goes down in battery consumption list then this data consumption issue will automatically get resolved and battery as well.

MIUI 11/12 and Google Maps Timeline History being jumpy

Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.
