Hey I have just bought HTC One 2 days ago. Compared to my old Sensation XE battery life completly sucks. I usually use phone without battery saver, on auto brightness and with Wi-Fi/3g turned on only on demand. Today 8 hours after unplugging phone from the charger I only have 26%. Screen was turned on for 2 hours and 45 minutes only and Wi-Fi worked for 3 hours and 46 mins. I might also say that I did not charge my One before usage to 100% as HTC advised. Was that very crucial? Do you think that phone might be broken or I should just give him time to settle baterry better.
That's sounds like what I get. I turn off mobile data when using WiFi and vice versa. I always use power saver unless I'm 3D gaming. Which is only on the weekends.
I've had mine for 3 months now.
I've seen people get 7:00 screen time on stock unrooted.
I think my battery's broken too. I can barely reach 3 hours of screen time. With 2 hours I get like 11 maybe 12 hours of on time. Something's wrong with our phones...
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone see a problem with my battery I have been on wifi the whole time with brightness at 20%.I never had this bad of a drain before and all I did was look at facebook for maybe 5 minutes.I also closed the app after I was done using it.

Your battery stats seem on par with me and the OP. Seems that only a select few phones get decent battery life.
My kernel (android os) has been in the 25-35% range,it has never been that high before.
battery life lousy
I get pretty horrible drain too. I charged it to nearly full around 7:30 last night. I took about 2 minutes of video, sent one text, and checked my email 3 times. After that I went to sleep and the phone sat idle. At 6:30 this morning, I'm down to 9%.

Wow, that's real bad.. When my phone is off during night maybe 7% is gone. Then again I'm rooted and use greenify aswell as battery doctor if that has any affect.
On screen time seems like my battery drains pretty fast too though. After 2 hours of music and surfing and watching videos I guess atleast 40% would be gone.
My battery life became horrible, too. My phones loses 4% per unused hour. No App seems to be responsible for that drain. Flightmode or powersaving mode ain't making a difference. I hope we'll find a solution for our drain.

@Racingmatt your power management services is on for quite a bit. do you have alarms.? i would bet that you either that maps location enabled or something of the sort. cause you also have NLPcollector on for around 40 minutes which is a bit much. also i would turn off GPS if your not actively using it.
@Rachorid how are you setting up your wifi? is it set to always be on? or set to turn off when screen off? you have alot of wifi wake. might be due to that. i know when i'm at home my wifi actively pings all devices connected which will force wake up my phone. yea its a bit annoying but i live with it. otherwise i just keep my phone plugged in.
if you both can get some SS of alarms i can give you a better idea. and when you SS the alarms make sure to click on the ones with the most wake lock so i can see the secondary screen that shows what the actual wakelock command is happening.

Here are the latest stats. As you can see many Google wakes.. removing Maps/Now/GMail/turning of Location (a few days ago) had no impact on my drain. The 2nd app on Partial Wakelocks was used actively.
I also disabled Wifi for about 2 hours.. no impact, too. Flightmode also had no impact (a few days ago).

The reason I didnt give you a alarm ss is because I didn't have any alarms when I went to the alarms section. I also had all locations services including GPS enabled but I just now disabled GPS but left network location enabled I'll give you a screenshot later so you can see the differences
I know exactly how you feel that's what happened to me,u was expecting so much from the battery and it turned out to be the worst..give ya some advice...3g drains the **** out of the battery ,so always jeep it off and turn it on only when you wanna use it...that way the battery will be acceptable... Also flashing a custom Rom would help...o recommend arhd

I had awesome battery life a month ago with Wifi always on, auto. brightness and every app on hourly sync. (I have my phone since 7th of march) Sometimes I didn't lost a percent over night (8 hours) and I just don't know what it could be because I didn't install another app and no app seems to be responsible for that stanby drain. My on-screen battery life is still good. It also doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I'm using.
Here is my latest stats after 12 hours with 5 minutes of GPS use (turned off when not using)and network location on all the time with 3g/4g on all the time(turns off after a period of inactivity) . I can't give you a alarm stat because I'm not rooted.
Lithium-Ion batteries used in today's smartphones need atleast 10 cycles to show optimum power
so hold on until 2 weeks then you will get the full performance
i get 2 days of battery on my HTC One (since i dont have internet on my Simcard)
its 2G connection and auto Brightness and switched bloatwares off
i use Android Revolution HD 12.2

with normal use 3.6%/h is pretty reasonable. how much screen on time was that including?
Hello, i have my htc one a couple of weeks now and from the first time i noticed paranormal battery drain activity!
So first i tried to turn everything off it didn't help, more analyticaly:
Energy Saving Mode = On
Beats Audio = on
Brightness = 1st of the three brightness modes
Wifi = off
GPS = off
Location Services = off
Accounts Sync = all off
HSDPA = on and off after done using data
Apps running in the background = i closed each and every one immediately after done using them
Blinkfeed = completely off
Then I tried to reset battery memory by completely let the battery discharge and recharge overnight twice, i have seen no improvement.
When i surf or facebook i can see the battery meter to drop down 1% almost every 2 minutes or so, some times less with the above mentioned settings.
Also i have noticed that in standby with everything off there's still significant battery drainage.
I kept the best for last, just 10 minutes ago while connected on my computer via usb cable, fully charged at 100% with green led on top for more than an hour i just did a reboot, and after the reboot with the usb cable still connected i saw the battery 99% ?????? After what, a reboot and still connected to the usb and charging ? WTF?
Device info:
HTC one 32 gb bought from Vodafone Greece
android version 4.2.2 stock
software version 2.24.401.1
kernel version 3.4.10-g445d072
On top of that, it seems that my device also has the blue ghosting noise camera bug on low light enviroments.
My emotions are like; I love and hate this phone at the same time.
I'm afraid using my phone's capabilities due to serious battery drainage!!
Any thoughts ?

Try this app to see if you have an app installed that is draining your battery.
My first One had a bad battery - would only last for half a day.. the phone I have now lasts a day or more.

it depends on how you use your phone and how much time it has been turned on. If your phone has been on for more than 24 hours then 3 hours of screen is fine. But yeah maybe you should do a factory reset and install gsam to monitor your battery stats and the apps that are sucking your battery. I have noticed that facebook chat drains the battery too fast.

I think you live in a sunny place, if you do than 2.5 hours is sort of normal at full brightness, if you want 5 or longer you need to set the brightness way lower but I think that sort of dimishes the beauty of the screen, enjoy it on auto-brightness

What nonsense?!
70% of my screen time is medium. I rarely use my phone in the sun.
I usually get around 2.5 screen/<14 total hrs. That's not normal? My phone's not set up right? Yay!
Or maybe it's the facebook. My auto sync is off, but I will disable the FB apps and see how that goes.
I actually do have GSAM, and it tells me that my kernel uses ~25% of my power. Android system is usually ~15%. Is that normal? If so, I may try a backup/reset.
Screen uses ~10% of power and main app is Chrome, with little to no Maps/Voice in a day.
A quick report after factory reset seems like that my battery is somewhat normal
1day 7hours and I still have 34% remaining
Use: half standby half normal use
I have the Dev Edition 64Gb One and I'm getting just 12 hours! I have autobrightness on, Greenify taking care of all the apps I don't use so frequently, not using maps/location services. I noticed each time I enter recovery, I have like 4% less than what my phone says and if I turn it on I have now what the bootloader said! Weird, and I was shocked to see this when I red a lot of people were having fantastic battery life.
Also, as I'm so lucky, mine has the blue/red thing in the camera, and a small gap in the top. It seems I got the All-(Problems)-In-One One..

Try with InsertCoin + Elemental kernel, with no pocketdetection or sweep2wake etc. and the recommended undervolting in the aroma installation
That gives me like 5.5 hours of screen with the phone turned on for 20+ hours and wifi: 6+hours, all of this with an average usage
hello again I noticed a rather peculiar thing regarding battery drainage.
couple of days ago when I reported that my battery was somewhat normal I had my phone charged with energy saving mode off I charged this way two times since the factory reset. Everything was normal I was able to get one+ day of use. Yesterday though I charged my phone with energy saving mode ON and I immediately noticed abnormal battery drain as before.
Can anyone with battery drain problem try to fully charge their phone with energy saving mode off and post their results?
I have a strong feeling that there is a bug or something.
My problem is, the phone is fully charged. i disconnect the charger and a few seconds later the battery is between 96% and 93%. I connect it to the charger, charge it back to 100% (led green) disconnect it, and the same happens again.
I already let the Phone discharge to 1%. The same happening again.
Someone any idea? thx
Same problem here, just sent it in to HTC for camera repair, got it back. Then battery problems. Sent it back because of the battery, still crappy. 32GB Unlocked. I get 10 hours at most on idle, everything off.

Go to setting>mobile data>network mode select something else than LTE and reboot your phone. Then select back Lte and reboot your phone.I had the same problem. I found this on other forums and this helped me a lot.
I have a HTC One 32 gb Three UK.
I have exactly the same problem with the high drainage.. before I could get easy 5-6 hours screen on throughout the day. now it even don't lasts a half day.. no change in my apps or settings/kernel.. really weird problem. I think it has to do with the hotness of the Phone and the purple camera fault. Don't know what to do anymore!
Anybody else have crazy battery drain after all the updates and the sync process? I thought the both the round LG watches were supposed to have relatively killer battery life compared to the 360, but day 1, I was at 13% after only 8 hours off the charger (screen = always on). I've just done a full reset and resync, so we'll see how day 2 goes.

Yeah... something's definitely not right. I'm at 11% after about 8 hours of use. And that's with screen off and brightness set to 2.
Can you tell what your other settings are? Did you turn off WiFI or leave it on "Auto'? What apps have you installed?

I have been off the chargers since 6:45am and am at 51% right now ((4:01pm). Brightness at 2, wifi on, watchface maker, and slumber for android. I have not done anything else special. Maybe try a factory reset and see if that helps
Good Luck,

It is indeed! It took a 2nd factory reset, but it seems to be performing as reasonable levels now. After about 14 hours of charger, Always On screen, WiFi on Auto and pretty heavy notification day (about 200 emails and IMs), I'm just now at 49% battery. That's more like it.
I'm pretty much convinced that a system process or two can get "stuck" when doing a version upgrade in many cases. Doing a factory reset post update seems to always fix the issue.

I'm having similar results as your first run. Was below 15% before I left work. I'm going to try to reset as well.
I had the same exact issue. The first full day I had the watch the battery completely drained in about 8 hours. All my friends at work laughed their asses off on my new watch
Well I went home charged the watch and did a full reset. Today I had the watch from 8am to about 9pm and the battery had 58% left... so definitely reset after all the updates are completed.
The reset itself took almost 30 minutes... is that normal?
Its amazing how quickly the watch charges... in about 15-20 min I had a full charge... I gather its a small battery but still nice to see that.
Yep. It took about 30 minutes for the full reset, including the time it took for all the apps to resync. It's been rock solid for the last 3 days since.
Does anyone know if the navigation battery drain has been fixed in 5.1.1? In 5.0.2 most or all of us are seeing the watch go dead after about a three hour drive.

I still have a Moto 360 on 5.0.2. The navigation battery drain issue is just one more reason I'm thinking of getting the Urbane.
Ah! Sorry... Missed that part. Sounds like 5.1.1 will probably drop before or during Google I/O, so it may be worth sticking it out to see if it helps.
Just a data point. I purchased at the opening gun which isn't long but does add some concern to fact that I've had two random battery drain events during the period. Both times were after the update and I simply recharged and the phone was back to normal battery without any reset. That is with zero apps or market faces installed or used which implies that there is something hanging the watch in the stock firmware.
At the end of the day ( 7am to 10pm) my battery gets down to about 10-15% and thats with the screen off, wifi off and brightness at level 1
I tried a factory reset and now with the same settings i get to around 35%, still an improvement but not the greatest! Any ideas on why this happening / any fixes or settings to turn off? Im thinking of doing a second factory reset as someone said above helped.
Thanks,

Honestly I think that's within the range of acceptability. I can be anywhere from 30-50% after a normal day, depending on usage. I'm convinced that the folks that get 2 full days or more on a single charge basically turn everything off and use mostly stock apps and watchfaces.
Last night, I went from about 7 AM - 1 AM and had about 25% left (always on, brightness 1, wifi auto, step tracking on, etc.). Put it theater mode for sleep tracking app to work, and by 6:45 AM I was at 21%. That's about what I'd expect from these watches at this point.

Yeah I also agree with that, its just that loads of people are saying there getting at least 2 days of use. Was wondering if there was something i was missing!
My Tablet lasts 2 days before its totally dead with ZERO USE!
Updated to 5.0.2 as i hoped this would fix it. No change
Lost 10% battery while in power saver mode in a few hours!
Lags all over the place when scrolling, the play store is horrible when scrolling apps.
Right now my S6 has better standby on 4G and more life in use than my tablet has with no use!
Any ideas?
Can't speak for Lollipop, since staying with 4.4.2 and disabled auto updates. I only lose 2% in ten hours and the best Android tablet I have owned- especially in regards to low sleep bleed.
clearly something is not right have you factory reset it? That would be the first thing to make sure no apps are doing anything weird.
I flashed a whole new OS... should i wipe it?
You need to install a wake-lock checker, it will show how much time your tablet is actually in deep sleep mode, which uses the least amount of power, mine shows 97% time in deep sleep.
Some application can keep you tablet from going to sleep, alarm clock and sync can also, and apps/software you downloaded.
Do you get still get major battery drain after a reset, dont install any software/apps and the charge to 100% and then leve it for a few hours and then check how much power you have lost.
John.
Over an 8 hour period (avg) with wifi on, my screen brightness set to 10-20 range (that is the brightness I prefer on my tab s), and with greenify I lose maybe 1-2% battery. You definitely have some program or service constantly running or waking up your tablet, and due to the interactive governor that samsung uses your tablet wakes up at 1.9GHz each time to be more responsive/save battery by handling what ever is needed as fast as possible so it can sleep again. Unfortunatly if some app keeps going "hey, hey, I am here, I need you tablet, hey, hey, ect........." that battery saving governor will murder your battery.
So i wiped and its still 48 hour batter!
Battery %bleed
Losing around 30% battery over night idle.
*wifi & sync on...

Do you need to have your wifi and sync on for business or something, if not turn them off, of use an app to to mange them like the free juice defender ect.
Just install it, make sure it is enabled and then make sure the icon is on your taskbar so it has not been killed, and them forget about it for a week and see how it goes.

for some reason on this tablet, wifi murders battery in standby. if you turn it off it lasts much better... but this tablet and this tablet only, leaving wifi on kills it horribly. but problem is, when you wake it for teh first time in hours and wifi activates, all of a sudden everything syncs and it's so damn laggy those first few minutes of use. it sucks. only this tablet. never had this issue with my nexus 7. that thing gave me 7 days stand-by time.

Try putting your tablet in airplane more overnight and see how much power it consumes. I lose 3% over 8 hours when I put it on airplane mode and disable wifi.
Im sorry but this is BS.
Its clearly faulty. its going to samsung. i demand a refund.
How much power wifi uses depends on the distance to the router and how much interference it has to try and break though to get a good connection which means using more power, that is why wifi uses more battery power on some peoples tablets than others do.
John.
disregard.. just realized my screen shots were messed up. I'll post my standby time tomorrow.
Here is a very simple stock no root mini guide to getting 1-5% loss over an 8-10 hour period while sleeping or at least while the tablet is asleep.
1. Install greenify even if you are not rooted and even if you do that have the donor package there are many many apps that do not like to sleep, greenify will fix that for you.
2. Unless you are a Doctor, CEO, or someone whose very life hangs on getting the latest cute cat post while you are asleep try to adjust your sync times from under an hour to as high as you can. (If you are turning off wifi then it might still matter if the app wakes up your device just to see it can't sync)
3. Samsung has given you a very nice QHD screen. It is high resolution, Amoled, and other nice rhings but while you sleep you can not see it so turn the brightness down before you touch the power button to 5-15. If you wake up in a dark room and need to use your tablet that level of brightness is far kinder to your eyes and even kinder to your battery.
Just doing this generally kept my battery usage down to only 2-4% per night, of course then I rooted my tablet and installed TW detox 3.0 and now it is closer to 1-2% per night. Try any or all of these and I hope it works out.

losing 48% per day... screen brightness wont help will it when screen is off all day
Screen brightness is for those times that an app wakes up the tablet and turns on the screen to tell you something (new email, facebook wall post, new cat video, ect....) and yes it helps.
If you are losing 48% a day then you have some app doing something that is keeping your tablet awake for a good portion of the day. Or you have a defective battery/tablet. I can surf the web for a good portion of the day and maybe lose 48%.

Are you rooted. It's sounds like you have some wakelocks? If rooted you should use greenify and a wakelock alarm to fix the problem.
i'm curious to see what apps and how many you have installed. Can you post screen shots of your app drawer?

what email apps and cat video watching apps are you using that turn the screen on? no app that I have EVER turns my screen on at all. the only app that does that is on my phone, and it's from textra, an sms app that isn't on my tablet.

I noticed my Samsung S10 T-Mobile Snapdragon would drain about 15-20% overnight while asleep (6-8 hours) since last week or so. The drain during the day is also significantly worse, but it's easier to compare the numbers when on idle. The first weeks that I had the phone, I was losing less than 5% overnight (6-8 hours). I am not sure if this was caused by the security updates, carrier updates, or a rogue application. I made no changes to the phone settings that I can recall. My phone was connected to WIFI overnight, with cellular, cellular data, and Bluetooth on. Prior to going to bed I would charge the phone to about 80% and unplug it.
I installed AccuBattery after reading some forums and it showed that my battery drain overnight was about 2-3% PER hour. AccuBattery also indicated that my phone was in deep sleep +85% of the time. The breakdown per application does not total the 15-20% so there's something else draining the battery. Eventually, I uninstalled AccuBattery to see if it was contributing to the drain, and it made no difference.
Below are most of the things that I have tried and tested overnight while I slept (6-8 hours), all of them have been UNSUCCESSFUL at solving the battery drain. I might have forgotten some other settings that I have changed. Keep in mind that this took me over a week of playing around with these settings, and checking the battery right before and after I went to sleep.
Restarted phone (There's always someone who would suggest this if not written down)
Cleared Google Services, Google, and other Apps Cache and Data
Cleared Cache Memory (Through recovery menu - Tried this about 5 times at this point)
Reset the big 3 (Reset settings, Reset network settings, Reset accessibility settings)
Enabled Airplane Mode (Cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth Off)
Disabled Location
Disabled Sync
Disabled Always on Display
Disabled ALL Motions and Gestures (e.g. Lift to Wake, Double tap to wake, Smart Stay, etc.)
Disabled Video enhancer
Disabled Game Launcher
Disabled Bixby Routines
Disabled Nearby Device Scanning
Disabled WiFi Scanning and Bluetooth Scanning (Improve Accuracy)
Disabled Show icon when screen is off (under fingerprints - from Samsung Forums)
Disabled certain Apps (AR Emoji, ARCore, Briefing, Chrome, Game Launcher, Google, Facebook, Secure Folder, etc.)
Forced Stop certain Apps (Bixby, Secure WiFi, etc. - they seem to all come back after a couple of minutes anyway)
Enabled/Disabled Adaptive Power Saving (Tried both settings, made no difference)
Enabled/Disabled Auto Optimization (Tried both settings, made no difference)
Switched between Power Modes (Optimized to Medium, made no difference)
Change lock screen and home screen to a 100% black wallpaper
Ran Safe Mode overnight with ALL of the settings above (Airplane with Location and Sync Off, etc.) Still got a 15% drain overnight.
Last night after I got fed up with playing with the countless of options, I decided to Factory Reset the phone thinking that this would solve my battery drain problem. Well, WRONG. Still got a 15% battery drain overnight with only the core apps installed, in airplane mode, location and sync disabled, and other settings disabled. I did NOT restore any backups from Samsung or Google, nor installed any additional apps that did not come with the phone.
I have complained to Samsung through their Samsung Members application under Feedback. If you guys are on the same boat, I suggest we all start complaining so that they can start taking a look at this and hopefully release a fix.
If you guys have any tips or anything has worked for you guys, please let me know.

If its still draining that much even in flight mode, then something is definitely wrong. Seems like you've tried everything. Can you not get a replacement under warranty from where you purchased it? Sounds faulty.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have had this same issue with my S7. Hence my reply. At that time I have traced it down to a certain kernel process. The only way to resolve this was to replace the motherboard. A factory reset didnt helped either.
Later when i investigated it further it was like an Interrupt request for sleep mode. Eleminating the phone going to deep sleep. Than you will see drains like this
My advice. Get the device replaced. It was the only way to resolve the problem on my S7. Hardware replacement

I installed BetterBatteryStats and got a ~20 drain over 9 hours of standby while sleeping. The phone was untouched for 9 hours, airplane mode on, location off, sync off, and other settings off.

Also, how did you manage to get your phone replaced? By Samsung? I am past the 30 day return policy so I am not sure how easy/hard it will be for the to replace my device/motherboard. What did you say to them exactly?
Reflash firmware?
Which update are you on?
After the ASCA, but before the finger print sensor update, I had amazing battery life, less than 1% per hour on idle.
But after finger print sensor update, it's about 2% per hour on idle.
Maybe reflash ASCA without the fps update? If it's possible

Spoke to someone in Reddit and he flashed his phone to the Febraury update. It still had bad idle drain.
Additional things I have tried recently overnight with no success
Disabled fingerprint
Removed SIM Card
Cleared memory cache again
I'll wait for the April update and see if that solves things. If not, I guess I'll drop by one of their service centers/genuis bars.
What a terrible experience...
Yeah that does not seem normal.
With airplane mode drop 0.2%/hours.
Sorry you are having bad issues. I would try to install U1 firmware and see if that helps.

I'm having the same issue after the recent updates on AT&T. I used to get close to 9 hours SOT and now I barely get 4. Nothing unusual in the battery stats either so I'm not sure what's going on.
Same here. The idle drain is completely insane! It's a shame that the phone suffers from issues like this when you compare it to the price we paid for it. From what I can tell the issue stems from the kernel not being able to figure out the proper frequencies for the cores in idle which leads to **** performance. I'm gonna try to flash the asd4 firmware via odin once. If it doesn't work I'm gonna get a replacement if possible. Currently I get around 4 hours of sot no matter what I do. Doesn't matter what I do which is super weird. My s7 edge which was at least 2 years old gave me a better sot more regularly, so I'm definitely pretty irritated with this. Will update once I flash over odin.

To all who has this issues. First thing to check is .. Does the phone ever enters deep sleep ....
I used this app on my S7..
Wakelock Detector. Can be found in google play.. Sorry cant post links due to my new status here.
Znalazłem rozwiązanie szybkiego rozładowania bateri zwłaszcza jak telefon noszony jest w kieszeni. W moim przypadku telefon przez noc zużywa jakiś 3% bateri a po włożeniu do kieszeni w 2 godziny 15% do wczoraj. A teraz Rozwiazanie . Wychodzimy w MENU - ZAAWANSOWANE FUNKCJE - RUCH I GESTY* - i odznaczamy opcję DOTKNIJ DWUKROTNIE ABY WYBUDZIĆ. następnie w MENU - EKRAN BLOKADY - ALWAYS ON DISPLAY - TRYB WYŚWIETLACZA zmieniamy opcję DOTKNIJ ABY POKAZAĆ na którąś z pozostałych lub całkowicie wyłączamy ALWAYS ON DISPLAY . To powinno rozwiązać problem z baterią w moim przypadku kończąc**pracę**z telefonem w kieszeni po 8 godzinach miałem 30% Baterii a teraz 70% .

BetterBatteryStats shows it goes to deep sleep 99% of the time overnight. No abnormal kernel wakelocks/partial wakelocks/alarms.
A couple of other things I have tried recently unsuccessfully while sleeping (6-8 hours) over the past week:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode + airplane mode
Safe Mode + airplane mode + cache wipe + Google services wipe
Safe Mode + airplane mode + cache wipe + Google services wipe + Remaining Apps in Sleep Mode (Battery Settings>Sleeping Apps)
Safe Mode + airplane mode + cache wipe + Google services wipe + Remaning Apps in Sleep Mode + Max Battery Mode (instead of Optimized Mode)
The best idle drain I got overnight was 15% drain over ~6 hours (~2.5%/hour)
I'll try disabling the Adaptive Battery/Auto Optimization while I have all my Apps in Sleep Mode an Safe Mode. I'll also try another Factory Reset this weekend.
If that doesn't work, I'll schedule an appointment with one of their service centers.
This sucks. My 2-year old S7 Edge still has better battery life than this.
I remember reading a post on Reddit from a guy saying he had a current leak on his faulty motherboard. Maybe you got the same issue on yours.

After reading your comment, I decided to test the phone completely off overnight.
To my surprise the battery drain was still present. From 5PM to 730AM my battery went down from 87% to 60%!!! So about ~2%/hour while the S10 was COMPLETELY OFF.
I'll be taking my phone to the service center sometime this week. For anybody else having crazy drain problems, turn your device completely off and see if the drain is still present. It might be a hardware issue
