I have been using my Note 3 since early November 2013 and battery has been great all the time. In last 2-3 days, battery has been draining a lot faster. I have not installed any new apps which could cause this battery drain. I updated to kitkat 10 days ago though.
Yesterday: my battery only lasted for 7 hrs with only 40 mins of screen on time. Battery was drained by Android System (18%), Android OS (14%) Android Core apps (12%), Google Services (12%) and Screen (5%)
Today: GlanceViewMk (33%). Note that I always have Glance View enabled from day 1 and never had issues. Why is it draining 33% battery all of a sudden?
It's not draining 33% of your battery, it's responsible for 33% of as much as is being drained. If it's draining as much as it ever has, but a lot of other things are draining less, that app will drain a larger percentage. You always have 100% total drain - 100% of the amount being used is being used. But that could be 10% of the battery capacity.

According to the Battery thread in this forum, some people experience a high overnight battery drain, and some get a low one.
I am currently a member of the high club. For battery testing, I have most things turned off, like location services and google now. Last night overnight drain (8 hours) took the battery from 76% to 58%... 18%. On my previous phone, the HTC One, the overnight drain would be around 6%.
I am curious about the people who are getting low (~5%) overnight drains. Do they all have Wifi off? What is their secret?! Do tell.

Install better battery stats to monitor what's going on. I think the one night I left it off charge over night I lost maybe 6-8% but I slept for like 10+ hours. This is with google now on, gps on, wifi on.
What i'm testing now that I think will actually improve batt life is having wifi turn off when display is off (unless plugged in). I think I noticed less idle drain at home when I did this but it was temporary. Giving it a shot over a few days now.
I leave wifi on and I get less than 5% drain. Nothing syncs when my screen is off except notification weather pro every two hours and Yahoo weather

Personally I think the X and new droids have idle drain issues. Even when better battery stats shows nearly 100% deep sleep overnight, I still lose 8-10%. In comparison, on my HTC One mini, which is setup EXACTLY the same as my X in terms of installed apps, syncing accounts, running services, etc., I lose only 2-3% overnight. The number of people complaining about the issue seems to confirm it is more widespread than on other recent phones, as do the countless screenshots showing unusually high android OS usage in battery stats.

I honestly believe it will be patched with the Camera.
I'm having the same issue. People are reporting crazy battery stats with like 20+ hours of use 2+ hours of screen on and like 20% battery left. I get MAYBE 12 hours of use and 2 hours of screen on and 20-25% left. My mediaserver is keeping the phone awake for almost an hour+ each day, and without root I can't figure out how to stop it. I always have GPS/Google Now/Bluetooth off, too.
I thought the drain was related to Wifi. But last night WiFi was turned off for the night and I still got 18% battery drain in about 8 hours.
Wifi at home and overnight. I get about 5% drain... however, the wifi at work kills my phones battery with the wlan wakelock.
Maybe there is something going on with the X and certain wifi networks?

Interesting theory but my overnight idle drain was approximately the same on both LTE and WiFi. 10-15%.

How about turning off all radios (flight mode) and observe battery drain at night. Then turning wifi while on flight mode the next night and see the battery drain and so on until you can pin point what causes the most drain.

I bought the phone yesterday. When I charged fully overnight and unplugged this morning around 7:30, it drained %10 of my juice and it's now 11:08. It means 2.85% drainage for 1 hour. I think that's a little huge drain and when I look in to what's draining, it shows up to be Android system. I don't know how you guys get that tremendius battery lives but it clearly seems, I can't get it now.
Oh when I look at the cpu usage, it seems it can go to deep sleep too.
Will it fix itself in a few days? What do you think?
is there any battery drain issue with note 5 on MM or auto shut off at certain % ?
as far as I can tell it doesnt auto-shut itself down at a certain %. I dont really get it to 0%, but I had to see how long it would last and so I drained it till 0% with no issues.
however the battery life on MM isnt too good, I mean I can get to about 4 - 4,5 hours of screen on time, but if I turn on the wifi router it goes down drastically.
one thing you should try is turning off the google location history.
12 hours Standby Drain at 0.7% per hour
My 1 year old Note5 Duos has no major issues with battery so far.
12 hours Standby Drain at 0.7% per hour
Ive read that the autoshutdown is builtin to avoid further issue. though on the batt drain, i have the same issue. can you check if you encounter the same with 3g or wifi. supposedly the known issue with the MM upgrade is on the 4g/LTE connection. it would overheat and batterydrains quickly. 100% to 15% in less than 30mins
Hi All
I bought Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and set it up, but the battery drain so fast. I left my phone to sleep with wifi on throughout my sleep it drains 10% with just pushing notifications from FB, like everytime I will get FB Notifications and not open it it will drain 1% of the battery.
Remove fb and see magic
U just answered to your question. It's not the phone, it's just crappy facebook app.
Facebook Lite is the way to go if you need FB, I think - normal version eats battery a lot, and I'm not sure if that will be fixed at all - seems like they don't care.
If you have to use Facebook, use Facebook lite or alternative apps like Friendly.
Hi, I got Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and started using it today. Initially with the battery percentage came with package, battery draining was slow. After doing first charging from 21% to 100%, battery is draining too fast. It is common for some batteries and takes some charging cycles to get battery optimized. If battery draining is happening too fast even after 3 to 5 charging cycles then there would be some fault with battery.

I got my phone day before yesterday & its now running Android 8.1 with the May security patch. Since the time of use, I've charged my phone only twice & both times charged it up to 100%. I feel the batter is draining. Please have a look at the screenshots and let me know if the battery consumption is fine or its draining fast. The battery dropped by 1% in 4 mins of the phone being idle with the display closed. Also the stock camera app is consuming a lot of battery.
I can confirm a very hard drain, too. No way to reach 7-10 hours of usage.
i'm getting about 5-5.5 hours of sot with moderate usage... Checked the app usage..where it shows PUBG used 12% battery in 38 min, 45 min of youtube drain 8% 26min Instagram drain 5%...I don't use fb much on phone when needed i mainly use fb lite... .i don't use auto brightness. so my brightness level is always 45%.. in overnight( well it's like 5-6 hours) battery percentage dropped 4%.. Wifi is always on and GPS is always on high accuracy.. in power saver 19 apps are allowed for background activity...
Battery drain
I just purchased my phone yesterday and used it for some time. I put it on charging at around 20% and didn't use it until full charge. After it got completely charged and then I just used it for few mins it went down 100% to 95% very fast; later after few mins I started suffering net and did misc stuff for about an hour it went down to 85%. Next morning I saw the battery % was 81%. Is this normal? I mean how can it last for 2 day as the company claimed. Aslo I am android 8.1.0

This has been a comman issue with Nokia 7 plus, including me. My battery had high discharge rates in both Oreo and Pie. However, post March security update, I am seeing some good battery life. I would also suggest to update to Pie and update Device Health from Play Store. Hope it works out for you.
try letting the battery drain to 0% then charging it to 100
TA1062 with build 00WW_3_51F here.
Before the march update, the phone could last for almost 2 days with moderate usage.
After the march update, I barely have 5 hours of standby time, and like 2 hour of usage time. This is crazy ! Not heating, but also randomly shuts down while it says like 65% remaining battery. I haven't changed anything else !!!
Does anyone have any idea how to improve this ?

Do a factory reset
I have the following issue - even when I am using the phone moderately (around 1 hour SOT) throughout the day, my battery drops from 100% to 30% in less than 12 hours. The only thing for sure is that no user apps are draining the battery but the drain comes from Android System. Android stats show that for this period 1h20m SOT has eaten 10% battery while at the same time Android System has eaten 31%!
Installed BetterBatteryStats to discover the following figures for 10 hours use throughout the day: 6h Deep Sleep, more than 1h Screen On and more than 2 hours Awake (Screen Off). So the question is what the heck has been happening during those 2 Awake hours when the phone has been in my pocket? I am attaching some stats for your reference.
PS At night time, when I leave the phone 100% charged with AOD on, the next morning it has 90% charge (I think that normally AOD eats around 1% per hour).
