[Q] Battery Problems

Hello
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S5 (Bell Canada). I am having huge issues with the battery. As a result, I rooted my device and got Xposed for the reason of DS Battery Saver.
My question is, how come my battery usage is being plagued by Cell Standby, which in 3 hours drained my battery 8% while I slept. Another is, what is the difference between DS Battery Saver and DS Battery Saver Pro? Does the free version still kill background apps when the screen is turned off and does it turn off 3g/LTE/wifi as well?
Thank you
Josh

As far as I know cell standby draining too much battery is a consequence of bad signal, you can try changing to 2G only and see it helps. I don't know the difference between DS Battery Saver Free / Pro, but Greenify can hibernate background apps when the screen is off.

3%+ per hour drain on idle--how to detect problem app?

So my first Note 8 had draining problems which seemed to somehow fix itself with every other cycle. I replaced it with my current Note 8, which had really great battery life for a week. Yesterday, it started draining randomly at 3%++ on idle. I didn't download any new apps. I didn't change anything at all. According to GSAM, it just says it's from app usage, but I'm not using the phone and all apps are closed.
In Settings|Device Maintenance, you can find a list of apps that are draining the battery.
What does GSAM report for deep-sleep percentage?
Do you have AOD turned on? Many are reporting excessive battery drain from it.
I have found this useful on more than one occasion. It will give you deeper insight into what's going on, than the battery monitor in the phone.

Another vote to look at disabling AOD.
I checked my battery stats yesterday and it was the top consumer after 5 hours of work. I didn't use my phone much - there was about an hour of SOT, but the AOD seems to be taking way more than 1% an hour - more like 4-5% an hour in my case.
I do hope that they fix this issue in an update. I'd like to use AOD, but not at the expense of that much battery life per hour. I guess when they're testing their software, they don't test battery drain.
I wonder why the AOD draining more. I don't ever remember seeing AOD using battery on my S7E. I love the AOD but i have it set on a schedule. ifi leave it on all day it consumes 5-6% battery.
Chiming in to say AOD was the culprit for me as well. I was losing as much as 5% an hour on AOD. Just not optimized. I had it on all the time using my S8+ and it didn't drain more than 6% for a whole day which is something I can live with.
I don't have AoD turned on, but it's also not disabled. It's still active, but I can disable it with BK Disabler.

It doesn't list anything in particular that is draining it, which is why I'm having so much trouble finding out the issue. My old Note 8 would drain for 3% per hour and then after a charge or two, it would go back to normal. This time, it hasn't reverted back to normal yet.
For deep sleep and light sleep, they're both around 40-something percent.

AOD battery consumption

Hello, I think I have a problem with the AOD and the amount of battery it drains. Per hour, it will consume anywhere from 1-3% of the battery which drives me nuts. I don't think it's supposed to consume that much. What kind of battery usage do you get from the AOD? Also, I use these apps that frequently refresh in the background: Snapchat, Telegram X, WhatsApp and that's it.

I do have what's app and Instagram apart from the other two that you mentioned .. my general use is of 3.5 to 4 hours per day but by the end of day the battery dies..so my question is should I stop background running apps? I have around 30 to 35 apps installed on phone..
I got this tips for battery longevity..
Also, don't put phone on vibration mode...it consumes battery...either silent or sound..
Attached
1) get charger alarm and set it to 80%
2) disable uselesa background apps.
Thats it.
I charge to 80% every morning, despite having 4G volte + data 24/7 with upto 2 hours calling, 30mins-60mins gaming, 1hr+ chatting, 30mins+ 9gag, 30mins youtube...
Mine phone still stays around 35%...when I check next morning
Data (4g), location, auto synch are ALWAYS turned ON
(Yesterday my totol usge was 5.5hours with 1hour gaming (fortnite)... My battery was at 25% when i checked this morning)
I recently bought the honor play but have found the battery usage to be higher than I would like at night during standby. I leave my phone connected to wifi and 4g (although 4g is not on when wifi is) and I noticed that the phone wakes up a lot during the night. It seems that it mostly wakes up more often when on wifi as when on 4g during the day there are far fewer wake up events. So to solve this problem I'm using tasker to disable wifi, deny all network activity (excluding calls), bluetooth and auto sync for me during 11:30pm and 7.30am. The result is that the phone barely wakes up at night now and I am getting 2-3% battery drain over 8 hours instead of 10-14%. So I would recommend doing this, as it seems to improve battery life. There may be other apps that can do the same thing but I like the interface and usability of it over something like automate.
Edit: I would also recommend leaving the standard power saving mode on all the time as it doesn't limit performance but just limits background activity. However, this does disable auto sync, but then you could just set auto sync to turn on at set intervals using tasker, at least that's what I'm doing.

Battery optimisation

Hey guys,
I have been playing with quite a lot of miui 12 settings to some how decrease battery drain and come up with these settings.
1)settings/privacy l/usage and diagnostic
When i turned this off my battery drain spiked on average i am loosing 8-10% daily overnight is it correct?
2) settings/password and security/privacy
Here you will find two more setting user experience program and send usage diagnostic data.
My question is that about these two setting will turning off increase battery drain.
Also if you guys have any more tips do share it
Thanks for reading it
