I have some weird behavior with my XZU, the other day after a full charge I left it idle overnight at 100% and the next morning was still at 100%, amazing.
But there are other opportunities when the battery will go down pretty fast, today with no active apps is going down at 1% to 2% per hour, currently is at 52%. I have attached print screens from BBS, what's your opinion?
NOTE: I have Stamina Mode ON

"qcom_rx_wakelock": 12:44 minutes. That's the only thing that sticks out. Could you take a screenshot of partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks?

I just took these new screen shoots of Partial and Kernel Wakelocks and now there is a process called "AudioOut_3" and the phone has been sitting idle
AudioOut is running when you're listening to music, or use apps that emits audio. Have you listened to music after plugging the phone off the charger?
*Backup* is backup, I guess? Still, 15 minutes wakelock is a lot.
Fullsync is Whatsapp that's syncing in the background.
PowerManagerService is the charging service which runs while it's charging. It should not still run after it's no longer charging. Reboot if it does.
Overall, not the worst I've seen, but those wakelocks could've been much much shorter. What does a wakelock mean? Whenever a process is waking up the phone to do a task while in deep sleep/standby. If an app uses 20 minutes to complete a task, then it'll suck the battery, and when you unlock the phone again, you'll soon notice that it's been using a lot of battery while it's been "sleeping". Most apps with background sync will do this, and if you have a bad connection at the time, it'll use even longer to update the app.

qcom_rx_wakelock - 12m 44s
No Data connection & No or Unknown Signal - 1hr 58m 7s.
Your phone lost its network signal and is trying its best to get it back thereby pushing more power to its tx/rx circuits and using more battery in the process..
Just a not so intelligent guess.. lol

Maybe this is related to the Stamina Mode, because I have it ON. The phone has been on my house all the time, with T-Mobile signal and Wifi always. I know Stamina mode will turn OFF Wifi and Data, maybe that's the reason??
Well,, I understand stamina mode turning off Data and WiFi..
But checking on the screenshot, it also said "no or unknown signal" so it means your mobile signal is lost also?

Been using s3 abt 2 weeks solid fone but i got one issue battery life on it sucks! funny thing when im using it for the web, video,etc the battery holds up pretty well but its the standby time thts killing it. I charge my fone full everynite wake up next morning and the battery's down to 56% jus on standby!! with nfc off s-voice off just wifi on. Am i only one experiencing this or is this normal?
you have something else going on i lose 2% overnight...try airplane mode see what happens
I think your charger may be broken lol. You charge it every night yet your phone is at 53% when you wake up? Anyway, assuming you sleep 8 hours and that your phone was at 100% that is less than 50% on 8 hours. You probably get 17 hours standby time, not the best but not the worst. Try airplane mode

think you are alone... Yesterday, beach day: From ten o clock with 100% brightness, about 40 minutes surfing with dolphin browser, total in amount 35 minutes facebook, 30 sms, 9 calls all about 2-6 minutes and some recording of the soccer game; the rest of the time the phone was on standby. Coming home with 80% left....
what says your battery settings? what stands by "battery in standby"? How much takes "android system", how many apps are listed in total? Do you have battery save mode on?=> Try to turn it off. Do you have auto brightness? Turn it off, set the display to 40-50% and make a widget on home with settings to 100% so you can read under heavy sun. You are outside the day?=> turn the wifi off....
Tell us more and post your results, the comment that your device is a bucket full of crap is bull**** because the S3 has one of the best battery and settings in smartphone business!...

no-one can give you a legit answer as you haven't bothered to tell us anything about what rom/kernel you are using, what you have installed, whether you have any syncs switched on..
why leave wifi on overnight? thats gives apps the chance to update in the background
have you looked at bbs stats?

You sleep with your wifi on? what do you expect to happen? Also try rebooting before you go to bed.

now i would like to know how you get that because mine drops from 100% (99%) to 95% in just an hour on 3g but nothing else..
I think you have a defective battery. Mine just drains 2-3% in a 8-10 hour overnight standby.
I hate when people assume something sucks when it's their own doing that's causing the problem.

I still suspect this may be router related though. When I had my crappy Netgear, I would get strange periods of battery drain on my SGS2 when WIFI was left on. That just about all disappeared once I upgraded to an Asus RT-N16 running Tomato, and now, I don't get any drain on my SGS3 as well when I leave WIFI (set to "Always On" under Advanced WIFI Settings) idling.

I too think it's router related. It can possibly be due to Wifi dual banding in some routers that support it. Faster internet with less battery life.
Hey guys so the title says It all really, over night I can lose up to 10% which isn't normal I know
If I charge my phone up and use it straight I'll get about 5.5 hours out of It ( screen on time ) but if I don't use it to intensively it'll be about 4.5 which doesn't make sense
Sometimes when I reboot the device it goes down by a few percent as well, anybody had this issue?

Are you using STAMINA mode?
That's strange. Do you have a lot of IM apps and widgets/apps that updates in the background? As you probably know by now, you shouldn't see more than 1-2% drop in battery in 7-8 hours if you don't touch it. I'm on GPe now that doesn't have the fancy battery saving features, and i'm getting very good battery life. It's currently at 70% after 10 hours on and 2 h 30 min screentime.
It's probably something that's going rouge in the background, but check your apps that updates automatically.

Nowp. Got Stamina mode on, with only 2 exceptions: email + weChat, and also see a 10% drop each night.
I assume the problem is that Wifi or Data connection do not get disabled in stamina mode. You expect them to be disabled, until a request comes from the programs for a "poll event", reactivated, task finished, and then disabled again. But from what i can tell, the connections stay live.
Have you try juice defender. I use it better then stamina. I only have home page and none live wall paper and I only get 1 to 1.1/2% loss all night from 100% to 99 or 98 in the morning

I have noticed this once or twice before, last culprit was google keyboard in about 8h overnight it was almost always awake (about 50%), almost 2h of cpu time, used near 400meg of data - this was in SlimRom
Last night I had 81% battery before I went to sleep at 10:00. I then put my Xperia Z Ultra in Stamina mode. At 6:05 (8 hours 5 minutes) after my battery dropped to 80%
Therefore I only lost 1% overnight which is excellent.
Damn. Thought i was getting decent battery life (currently at 1d 6h on, 5h 25m screentime), but the way you're going you might reach 7 hours screentime on one charge...
And the cp12 isn't currently available where I'm at. Bummer.

Those battery calibration apps are a complete farce IMHO, modern batteries don't have their own internal memory like the old ones did, the best calibration you can do is a full recycle.

just a reminder that the LED turns green at ~90% not fully charged
If you are in an area with very poor cellular reception and your cellular radios are on this can happen. It would help if you would post some screenshots of your battery usage in different scenarios; otherwise we can't help you too much
You could have a transistor leaking current or a short somewhere inside the device. Try a factory reset if you've exhausted all other options and if it persists contact Sony.

I'm having issues with my phone battery when connected to the gear s. My phone went from 75% to 40% in less than 3hrs with no usage of the phone or watch. It was just paired with the watch. I dont know if its because i turned on call forwarding. Before i turned on call forwarding, the phone's battery was draining at around 3% per hr. Anyone having the same problem. If not, any tips that could help?

How long do you expect the battery watch to last?
Battery*
Battery, Standby
Up to 4 days
Battery, Talk Time
3G: Up to 2 Hrs; BT: Up to 5 Hrs
Battery, Usage
1 - 2 days
Battery Type and Size
300 mAh
Low Usage
Up to 4 days
it would help if people with battery issues gave some additional information. do you have a service plan with the gear s or are you using it simply paired with you smartphone or both. that being said, first start by turning off everything except bluetooth. wifi, gps, mobile data and motion etc are battery killers and should be turned off initially. at this point bring each feature you absolutely need back on line one by one. as you activate each option wait and see how it effects battery drain. i use mine without a service plan and since its paired with my note 2 i have mobile data off, gps off, motion off but wifi on. i have wifi on because the watch will connect automatically to my home network if it loses it's bluetooth connection with the note. after 15 hours i am at 55%. that is with lots of notifications and a few calls on a sunday.

mainly it's to establish where the excessive battery drain is coming from. as you start bringing features back you may wind up with mobile data in auto mode. we don't know enough yet about the battery drain for each feature . the real question is why do they give you the option to turn it on or off. why not just have it done automatically. my guess is the auto function might in itself be a power hog.

Silly Rabbit yes keep GPS off unless you need it, it drains the battery to consistently try to locate where you are so it can tell you where you want to go . Maybe turn the brightness down a tad bit more

2 days? I had a full charge in this at 6 am, now i just got a 14% low battery alert at 2:28pm...
Is this normal? I am not doing anything unusual at all, did not use it to make a single phone call, and am at work so ive only checked it a handful of times today...
what have yall experienced here??? this seems ridiculous!
Well took my gear s off charge at 7:30am and have checked it at regular points through the day including showing it off to work people and it's not 22:37pm and I still have 67% left of the battery so mines about right...
I have thus set to do Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, sms, twitter and a few other notifications so gets used fully through the day.

hmm....
i just brought up the list of running apps and found that the music app was still open (though on pause) from this morning.
i have a hunch, playing or not, that if you leave the music app open in the background it may be the source of the battery drain.
no, i do not have the clock face set to always on as well. just music app running in the background on pause.
i'm hoping this is it, though since i killed tasks i went from 14% to 1% in as many minutes. I'm guessing not...
Took it off the charger this morning at 6:30am at 60% and as of right now at 5:30pm it has 33%.
27% in 12 hours

I used it a fair amount today.

HUGE day of use primarily with notifications and texting. Up and fully charged at 7am and now at 5:30pm I'm still at 48% battery.
On Wifi
BT Tethered
Clock off
Brightness at 60%
Vibrate/no sound
GPS Off - which I think is a HUGE key to success. No need to have it on unless needed anyway.

how do you turn off gps? I do not see a specific option other then disabling the mobile network alltogether...?

TY! looks like it was already off though...
what does it mean:
Location - "gps only" ?
If it means to say location = gps, its a bit confusing...
additionally, the feature i disabled that so far has helped is the mute/pause motion option. This one option seems to be the culprit for my 100% - 0% in 8 hours issue. I'm never enabling that feature again! holy cow!
Just did my first full run down on the battery without charging, been running since yesterday morning and am down to 8%, so less than 48 hours so far, but still two full work days. I can at least forget to charge once in a while.
Not as good as my Neo's 4 dayss, but better than the 12 hours I was getting on the Moto.

Battery life for me is about a day and a half. I set the face to watch just to display black and white numbers I put a black background and that really helps. You don't need the full color watch background that drains a lot of battery when you decide to lift it up and down.

Update:
i disabled motion for mute/pause and the mobile network (i use bluetooth) and my watch now finishes at about 70% after a full day's use. VAST improvement!

Disabling Mobile network will improve battery life, i think. Check my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56722962&postcount=32
I get only 6 hrs from 100 to 0%.

gonna give that a try. this thing is getting crazy good battery life after its 6th full charge. after 13hrs yesterday with notifications, email reply's, multiple phone calls (two calls of 20 plus minutes) the damn thing had over 60% left. that's with GS to N2 via BT.
Battery life is getting better, been on for 14 hours and still at 75%
At work 13.5 hours and I'm at 51%. Turning off the wake up motion helped me today, and running tethered to my phone helped (although I will not keep doing that), biggest help was not running with gps (but this will not be a normal occurrence). I'm going to run with phone remotely connected and gps running tomorrow and see what just having the wake motion off will do for me.
6-7 hours on GSM
Most of the posts specify battery time while using it on BT thethering.
However I like to use it as a basic phone, no worrying about carrying everywhere regular phone.
Of course I have a phone in a bag (just for case, battery!, for emails, and browsing).
- So, when using it for regular talk it lasts from 9.am to 3p.m. Specifications:
a) about 1 hour talk
b) 2 sms
c) GPS Off, WIFI off, Move ON, not installing extra apps
d) BT and SONY SBH52 ON
This is not enough.
Charging is fast - (with no connecting to plug) i can get 50% batt in 30 minutes.
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 Google Pixel 3a'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!
Losing maybe 1% or 2% for a whole night.
Turned off everything I could from reading different threads about wakelocks. AOD is on, but it turns itself off when the phone has its screen facing the table.
Using ElementalX kernel.
Always on Display uses 1% per hour and you can't schedule it to turn off at night, so this is definitely not a 2 day battery. Flipping the phone face down while sleeping is a workaround.

With Always On Display enabled and face down my phone went from 37 to 35 in 8 hours.

How the hell do you only lose 1-2%? I got a brand new 3a and lose about 5-6% overnight. Can you tell me what you disabled? I've only disabled digital well being, close all background apps, and have AOS disabled.
I restricted
- Android System
- Google Play Store
- Google
- Pixel launcher
as they were listed as using the most power overnight.
I've noticed no negative side effects until now.
Be careful though!
Your milage may vary.

- Kernel is stock - phone OTA updated to 12.2019
- AlwaysOnDisplay was enabled but with display facing down all night long. Therefore the display was switched off.
What is"-5" here.
Just a system app or some malicious app?
Edited-
Got it.This shows up in battery usage when you have used wifi hotspots.

Are you also using battery saver mode? I can't get below 5% unless I use battery saver mode.
Alright, I found out my weak signal was draining my battery. You can test this by leaving your phone in airplane mode overnight. If you get far less drain with airplane mode on, it's either your weak wifi signal, or weak cell reception. For me, it was my cell reception. I left the phone in a spot of the house overnight that has strong signal and I only drained 3%. That is only with digital well being disabled. All the other settings recommended above were reverted in a reset.
Actually I discovered the same the other day after having added a 2nd phone number through an eSIM. The respective network has zero signal in our bedroom. The same night the phone started draining the battery significantly more.
zer0 % drain over 10 hours last night even with Bluetooth and Wifi on.
I was probably tired last night and slept while watching Netflix ( otherwise I always turn bt, wifi, data etc off before sleeping.), And woke up just now to find this. I'm amazed. The only mobile I've ever had 0% drop overnight before this was with 2XL. But with everything turned off before sleeping. Absolutely Loving my experience with 3a, touchwood.
My only settings are-
Stock Launcher
No Root done.
Bt and wifi Scanning Off.
Digital wellbeing disabled.
Google location history ON.

It looks as if you have an LTE transmitter very close.
I am pretty shure that helps.
The 0% is very cool indeed.

.
Dunno about that...
I've used 7t, 11 and Pixel 3 at the same place(where I live) and it's always been 2-5% overnight at best.
0 is 0 though...
Another instance of 0% drain.
These are happening regularly now.
How are you guys disabling Digital Wellbeing? The option is greyed out on my phone. Running the stock ROM on the January 2020 patch.
I disabled it in settings
I experience AOD drain at night with june fw
