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 Samsung Galaxy Note5'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!
When A 7.0 came out overnight my battery would tell me 2 days+ of battery left with only 1 or 2% drain. As the AT&T updates continued it got worst. I have recently performed a factory reset. It will only drain 8% overnight as opposed to the usual 23% I was experiencing intermittently.
Recently installed the wake-lock detector and greenify. I'll see if greenify is just a battery hog or if it will help.
I feel that my N920A really has good standby life if I don't have any background processes running. I'll lose about 3-5% battery life each night with the phone unplugged (and connected to WiFi) collecting Whatsapp updates with the screen off. My battery drain is really about background processes. I've uninstalled the applications that I no longer use, and those I no longer NEED for weekly use. My battery life was restored dramatically. My phone CAN last an entire day, but I keep my charger nearby just in case one day I'm proven wrong.
Hmm well mine 920I after about 9h went from 100 to 97.

Hi, I'm having the same model as yours which is SM-N920I Note 5 International Version. Can I know what is your current rom that enables you to have such battery saving. I'm currently using pixel experience (Stock Google), No Touchwiz etc, and mine gone 9 hr and battery to 20-30%. Any idea on should I revert to stock rom, or choose another custom rom. Anyway what rom did you use, so I can follow more easy.
back to stock or better rom

why don't you download stock rom from sammobile and flashing through odin ? if not try khonloi S8 rom the smoothest so far. Battery average 3 hours SOT, and standby is more than 15 hours without AOD .
After doing a bunch of tests on my N5, I found out that my horrific standby drain was from having bad cellular reception in my area. I have the N5 (Canadian version) which has no carrier bloatware; however, I was loosing about 15% overnight with Data and WiFi on. Obviously, WiFi takes over, but the phone still tries to scan for cellular data. When I started turning off Data at night, and using only my WiFi connection, that's when I started to loose only 4% overnight, which told me the problem was a bad signal. So I went on and changed my Data connection from automatically connecting to LTE, to automatically connecting to 4G, and my standby drain has decreased significantly.
I'll test the 4G only option, and see if that works for my N920A
My N920I drains 100% to 86% after 8 hours. what is the problem?
Tried rooting, changing kernels and still the same result. somebody please help me or give me a suggestions on the matter. Thank you

Try measuring it in airplane mode. I guess your drain is normal due to poor signal reception in your area. I'm getting very similar drain ~1.5% per hour and -0.3%/hour in airplane mode. Also I noticed my n920p receives much lower signal (15-20dbm difference) compared to my old note 2 in the same conditions.

Hi. I'm posting this thread because I could not find suitable answer anywhere. I'm searching for an Oreo rom which has no battery drain in standby mode like nougat ROMs. Every nougat ROM has good deep sleep. But I tried unofficial RR Oreo and AICP Oreo earlier, and found they drain battery heavily in standby and have CPU ramping up issue after 5/7 seconds continuously and never stopped.
Any rom without battery drain?

RR is never recommended for battery its has lots of customization so it darins battery like hell and Los 15 can be good with custom kernel never used a Los tho
I recommend Nitrogen OS oreo. It has great battery life, and they also fixed the DEEP SLEEP BATTERY DRAIN.
From my experience, it could take 1-2 days from full charged to die. Left it for night, and just 5-10% drained. Ohhh what a battery life.
I use greenify btw, to make it less draining. Don't use greenify to who often multitasking, it's slowing your device while opening an app. Because the app start from fresh (because hibernated)
Edit: the 5%-10% drained when i was downloading games. See my reply below for more info

You mean it drains 5-10% per night at standby mode when I'm not doing anything? That doesn't seem good battery life.

I think my SOT will reach 10h
Here is my sot
OK.
Can you all do me a favor? If you have any system monitoring app like Simple System Monitor, Android assistant,(not kernel auditor), then do this.
First turn on airplane mode and close all background apps, check anything isn't running in background. Then open the monitoring app. Then wait until everything cools down.
Then check how the graph or CPU behaves. Last time I checked, 2 Oreo ROM(Unofficial RR and AICP) have CPU ramp up issue. Like this: CPU speed goes to max after 5/7 seconds then normal. Again high after 5/7 seconds, again normal. This happened continuously and never stopped.
I tried several times with/without gapps and everything was cleaned flashed. But the issue was there. Please report.
I just recognized that 5-10% drained per night is when i downloading a pc games
Here is what you want, i screenshot it in the night and unplug the charger, also turn on the battery saver.
Today the battery is still 78%, so it's 0% drains :victory:
Since upgrading to 11.0.4.0 Global (QFKMIXM) my Phone is draining heaviliy - have to charge it daily with moderate usage (abt 1,5-2 hrs SOT, mainly surfing & mailing).
Already did a factory reset - no change
Can anoyone of you confirm this behaviour ?
Any hints to solve this issue ?

That's really strange. Look for apps that may be draining your battery. In my case 7 hours SOT with the same usage.
I never had a problem with battery with any update.
I get 2 days battery with 6 hours of screen on time and a couple of hours of podcasts and/or music playback a day.
Dunno if its helps you but im running Evo X with 11.0.4 Vendor/Firmware and yea im almost getting 7hrs of SOT.
Tho i used to have only 4 SOT before, but then i realised that it was due to Live2DViewerEX that was preventing the phone to go into deep sleep.
Update
First - Thank you all for your support !
After factory reset it took a few charging cycles and now the situation seems to get better.
Espacially overnight drain decreased and i´m back to normal (about 2 days usage and 5hrs SOT)
:good:
I'm using xiaomi.eu 12.0.5 QFACXNM and the battery drain is brutal: 11% battery drain at night in 9 hours without touching the phone. No airplane mode, but wifi and data off.
I restricted almost all apps at background and problem is not solved. I'm doing 3h SOT or even less at day.
So... what's the rom with the BEST battery and the best SOT? I don't mind the other features, if it's AOSP I appreciate if I can install ANX camera and GCAM (both).
Thanks.

3h SOT is not a good result, don't you think? I was expecting something like 5h or 6h of SOT with a normal use... I know with 3300mah battery it's complicated but I don't use my phone with heavy apps, I don't play, only use instagram, photos, twitter, whatsapp/telegram and stuff like that...
I recommend PA.

for a 40h+ total with bluetooth location and wifi always on I'd say it's a very good result
I'll check both. I fully charged my phone this morning. 7 hours later, without any use (check my instagram and twitter couple of times and responding some whatsapps), it dropped 10% (to 90%).. At least six and a half hours were in deep sleep.
I think this isn't normal.
That also can be a signal for a dying battery as well. Approx. 1 % per hour in combined usage is a good average for AOSP ROMs. At moderate use, similar to your profile, the battery here last for four days with 4 h SoT. 8 h SoT over two days is possible but not what I reach often. Mi9 is running PAQ5.

I was thinking the same. At this hour, less than 12h after the last full charge, and with no use at all cause I'm currently working at home, so I use computer (like I said, watch a couple of times instagram, reply to a few whatsapps and check twitter a little) battery is at 80%, with 30 minutes of SOT. Something is wrong, and maybe you're right about battery.
I'll try PAQ5 and crdroid with quantic kernel... despite I like MIUI, but xiaomi.eu is an extreme battery-draining rom...
My Mi 9 is running several AOSP ROMs since more than one year. Since then I've simply no idea about Miui and its battery consumption. Tbh I'm not too much interested in battery life at all. I'm not an outdoor guy having access to a power plug only once in a while. I'm living in an area where power plugs are widely available. So running out of power is not a major threat to me.

I usually have a charger near, but it happened to me that, in a long session of photos, or in a heavy use outside my home or my work, battery dies more sooner than later... and that sucks.
For example, watching forums or instagram, it consume 1% each 5-7 min, and more of that, instagram and web loading are not so fluent as it should be, so... I'm gonna try aosp for a while.
Crdroid, Paranoid and Iodé OS seem the best choices, I'll give a try to the best battery-saver rom...
Changing ROM only might not solve your battery problem, if the problem lies elsewhere. I use the same ROM and I could get 4-6 hours SoT per charge, over a day of use or so. This is a 1 year old device so battery is no longer 100%. If yours is newer but you get worse result than mine, then it's something in your configuration, not the ROM.
Sure, in these cases I usually carry a power bank with me. Actually I can't recall when last time my phone totally went off power.
For the AOSP ROMs I can't tell about battery behaviour. Things like SafetyNet, banking app and G-Pay are so much more important to me that I never considered changing the ROM since PAQ5 does simply everything I need.

this phone has some hardware issue with the battery, some chip is not properly registering/measuring. You have to "reset".
I have more than 8h screen on time 0~100, and I have the phone 15 months.

I was thinking the same, battery duration is ridiculous. Last night, 1% battery per- 5-6-7 mins using kiwi browser/instagram. And 10% battery out last night with wifi and data deactivated. Now I have 56% battery with very few use of the phone. Charged it 24h ago.

Hello im using miui 11.0.6 with a new battery and i get 4:14 on SoT, what version of miui do you use?
I on my xiaomi mi9 I installed the battery increased by 4000mha, I changed the kernel values with a file manager by making the phone read the same battery capacity and I do six hours of display on! To do this you must have root permissions and buy 4000mha battery ...
the path to take with franco kernel manager is:
/sys/class/power_supply/bms/charge_full"
/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_ful
Through a file manager, that is the path to follow to edit the file

Ne Firmware should make things even better
I would try recalibrating the battery, I have found that it lasts very long after hitting 1%, and others have also found that the phone continues charging for a bit after hitting 100% (even with the LED being green). So completely drain the phone, let it charge to 100% and when it hits 100%, give it like half an hour more.
Also, disabling 5G in the Network settings should help. If you are underground (with bad cell signal), I would suggest you enable Airplane mode and then enable Wifi. This will prevent the phone from constantly searching for a better cell signal. Doing this helped me reduce idle drain.
Last night with a few videos + today, I got a total of 3h40 at 120hz durable mode (Charge limit to 90% and the phone is still at 15% battery left).

I got it via OTA.
Also you probably need to set up other (was tired yesterday evening):
dynamic mode
5g off
90 Hz Display (I don't really see the difference between 90/120)
Wifi, BT, location always on
I get around 7 h of SOT fully charged and 5 hours brings me from bed to bed.
Yeah 5g off makes a lot of difference to me. I also use Naptime.
I see a big change with location off. Just put it on qith quick toggle when needed. The standby is much much better with just this change for me. I have 5G because my plan doesn't allow it either way.
As others said, it's about 5-6 SoT, normal use on its stock Asus Android OS.
After installing LineageOS on now I got 8+ SoT.
Due to the clean LineageOS, 60Hz screen refreah rate, battery saver always on, no google spying services installed, 100% google free,no blotware, no whatsapp no facebook...
Phone now lasts me comfortably a full day of work (sometimes day and half).
I use it for work not as my playstation.
I'm super happy.
