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 LG V20'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!
Compared to the Note 7 there is next to zero residual battery drain. I forgot to plug it in one night and saw a 2% drop.
Doesnt really drain on sleep mode. Not bad.

This is great to hear. My V10 can drop 30% overnight. I can't wait to upgrade.
I'm losing upwards of 15% at night. Not good.
This has been one of my BEST PERFORMED sleep time phone so far! Must be something w NOUGAT also? Love it!
I noticed sometime when we insert a new sd card the phone needs to create an internal list and this process can suck alot of battery. It might or might not be this issue thats causing some users to experience overnight battery loss.
I got my V20 yesterday and had it sit overnight, and the drain was practically zero. Very impressed so far.
Standby drain is beyond great. If the phone is off, then 0 to 1% is lost, depending on the stand by time.

The standby drain is unbelievable. I've noticed between 1-2% drain per hour. That's with bluetooth, wifi, and location on, as well as android wear and google fit constantly running in the background.
It's WAY better than my GS7 Edge.

So over an 8hr night you would lose 16%? That's not gifs at all.
I just got the phone last night. First of all... damn this is a sexy beautiful phone. Sleek slim as hell and the best phone I've owned thus far.
What is not okay is the battery drain in standby. I put it on the nightstand at 100% at 11:30pm, woke up at 6:30pm (7hours total) and it was down to 40%!!!!
Not okay LG. I moved over from the LG G5 and the standby on that was excellent, would still be in the 90%s , I hope an update is issued to fix this problem
Over 6 hours of stand by time with 0% lost. I have 4 email accounts running, a few game notifications, etc... No facebook.
This was taken after I cleared most of my notifications.

Give it a day or two, the battery will and should improve.

I too have noticed that this phone has significantly less standby drain than the S7 i was using between the Note7 return and the V20. All in all just better with the battery in my opinion. I usually listen to Pandora all day long at work (wired) and then use my BT headphones at the gym for a couple hours each night too. With the S7 I had to recharge the phone near the end of the work day or i would be cutting it close by the end of my workout. Not the case at all with the V20, after my workout im around 45% still. I do have 2 email accounts / FB / bunch of other stuff running at all times too pretty much. Get a lot of calls / texts throughout the day of course too. So far it has been amazing
I Have the V20 for 2 days and last nite lost about 30%, will check today what was running... not good but could be the battery ....
Sleep mode is awesome I bearly notice a drian.

7 hours I slept last night with v20 unplugged after fully charging. Burned 1%.
Your issue seems to either be low signal strength or apps waking the phone.
I am havei very little sleep drain. This phone has really surprised me. I have been loyal too thenote series since the n2.... And when the n7 issue started and we had to return it I decided to give the v20 a shot. So far it has really surprised me!

what are you showing us, that after five hours you plug in??

Haha. Yea, he's showing that his battery meter is not accurate. Lol.
I lasted 3 days and 9 hours with my $10 extended battery. It was at 1% for a good 36 hours of it.
On my standard battery after 16 hours of "normal to light" use, I'm usually around 60%. As long as I don't have to charge it during the day, I'm happy. Plug it in every night when you go to bed and unplug it in the morning, you will last all day.
lmao wasn't the planning on that ill give a more accuarate battery in a few hours i actually went from full at 12 pm to about 5 brinking me to 10 percent in 5 hours

Other than the incorrect meter LucasMN, how much better is the extended battery in terms of single full charge. I am debating on getting an extended battery because I use my droid heavily throughout the day for work. I charge with the same habits as you. With my current standard battery I get to about 50% by 2pm (my day starts at 8:30a)

I cannot compare it to the standard battery as I've never let the standard get lower than 30%.
3 days and 9 hours on the extended battery included 2 full work days. I work in IT and will quickly check e-mails throughout the day on my phone. Out of the office I use it quite a bit for facebook and streaming music. 95% of use was over Wifi though.
I bought the battery + cover off ebay for $10. It's about 3x as thick as the original battery.
So I was a bit concerned about battery now seems to be pretty good strange how some days I get 5 hours to 20 percent now going on 7 at only 50 percent

Can't post screen shot since phone is stuck at motor screen atm, but...with a dim screen, cal'd battery and debloated rom , I can burn through a full charge OEM extended battery in half an hour or less. I use a ton of SMS...
a half hour for a extended battery are you freaking kidding me and i thought this was bad i sms a lot too facebook and xda mostly through the day that is just crazy i am still at 50 percent and now at 7 in a half hours looks like i might make it to almost 12 on this one
when I get to a PC and unfutz my bionic ill screen shot it for you. To be honest I have always been a battery abuser though. BB curve to storm to og Droid to d2 and now bionic...all had to have extended batteries.

I would love to see this. With my extended battery, I stayed at 1% for over a day though. Unless yours is powering off, I bet that would be the case. 30 min for an extended battery, even an OEM standard battery sounds like BS to be honest, unless it is physically damaged.
I don't know what happened to mess up everyone's battery life, but when I flashed the 904 update mine all went away!
Just got the phone today and have not had a chance to calibrate the battery but the battery life so far is horrible compared to the original S4.
Anyone else experiencing bad battery life on this phone?
I'm the opposite. I had the S4 for a week and a half and traded it for the Active a couple of days ago. My battery life has been better than the original. I've got this phone set up the same as I did the s4 too. It probably just varies on what apps you have installed.

I traded my Active for the regular S4, the aqua looked good on the website but disgusting in real live. I'm getting much better life with the S4 running the 9505 firmware and some of the Samsung features turned off.
These are just a few shots of my battery life. This is standard and sometimes it is a lot better:

The battery life on my Active is far better than any other phone I've owned. I got 5 1/2 hours screen time yesterday with over 16 hours uptime. Still had 15% left when I replaced the battery this morning. Never seen anything like that before.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda premium
I had the S4 for a few days and I was worried because my battery would be drained in less than 8 hours. Coming from an S2 that I had to baby to get through the day I was worried. Ever since I exchanged the S4 for the Active I don't really worry about playing games, even for a couple hours, because it easily gets me through the day.
Disable the only big battery drain I had was maps constantly updating my location. I disabled that and run on power saver. I woke up at 6am this morning and its 7:30 now, I still have 59% left. I used to average 22 hours on my old captivate so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I realize that having a phone that out performs most PC's is going to munch some milliamps.
I'm rooted, debloated, and try to avoid constantly updating apps. I use better battery stats to "tune" my usage too.

I had the phone for a week, and after a few days my battery was draining like crazy (lost 90% overnight with everything off).
I went to the store and got a new battery...so far it's been amazing. I think my back cover may not have been 100% locked in to be honest, not sure if that would affect it or not.
I used to get between 4-5 hours on screen time. Stand by time doesn't mean much. I have noticed that the display is brighter so that could do it.
I also tried the battery from my S4 and same results.
My original battery is on charger. I am going to charge to full and completely drain it and check on screen time and report it.
After I recalibrated the battery it is looking great now. 1 hour on screen time only used 10% battery.
I will keep you posted.
The battery on my active is much better than on my regular s4. The standby time is actually good. My regular s4 always loses about 15% an hour in standby with nothing running.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda premium
I never lost hardly any battery at all in stand by with my regular S4.
I also set my GSM battery app to disable apps I don't want to turn on either (ATT Locker, ATT Wifi, etc..)
I am at 13hrs with 30% remaining. I have 2 email accounts, weather, and a network monitor that sync actively. So far, I like this, coming from a note.
I just declocked the cpu today and intend to do some more dabbling.

Hi Everyone,
Quick question on battery life implications ( if any ) when using themes developed for Watch Styler - is there an expected battery life implication, little, moderate or high (perhaps dependent on the complexity of the theme)? Or nothing at all?
I ask as I have noticed a battery life degradation recently, and I cannot seem to pin down any specific usage differential aside from recently starting to use themes for Watch Styler. Don't want to jump to any definitive conclusions.
Check this thread ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659023
With stock faces I get 3 days of battery life. Using watchstyler I get 1 to 1.5 days worth of battery using the motion feature to wake the watch. If you set the gear not to wake up on motion, battery life can be as good as the stock face.

I would generally agree with your estimates, based on my experience.
The only thing is that i get worse battery life with watchstyler in use with or without motion. obviously motion zaps the battery badly but for me, watchstyler also kills it too.
Around noon, with watchstyler on, I have 75% left, normally without, i would have 90%. Its very noticeable.

Anecdotally I seem to notice better battery life when using themes rather than watch faces created from the watch styler app. wondering if anyone else has noticed this

i didn't really use my watch much but my stats were: 16 hrs usage, drain was 100 % to 68% , so 32% battery drain in 16hours, i think i had my BT on all the time and connected to bt tethering with my nexus 5
screen ontime was like 25mins i think according to GSAM pro battery app
is that good?

Yes. For being BT PAN tethered all that time, thats good.
The question is: Did you have Watchstyler on? I would guess so, since your posting in this thread but I think it needs to be asked...
I beleive the background color of the pictures used also affects the battery. I've tested two themes and when using darker theme, the battery last longer.

Normal is relative. Is it a bit on the low side? Most definitely. Normal? Maybe. It really comes down to the apps you have and how you use your phone. I personally get about 5hrs SOT and I'm fine with that. Standby drain is more important to me than SOT. There are battery saving tips and trick you can try to google or youtube.

3% per hour no AOD is bad. You have an app causing major drain for sure. You might have to deep dive in your battery stats to find the culprit. Last resort would be safe mode to see if your able to reproduce the issue. You should go to the battery life thread and ask around.

I'm not sure what it could possibly be since my old Note 8 did this too, but it alternated every other cycle or so where it would drain less than 1% or 3%+. I exchanged it for a new one and this issue is happening again except it was completely fine for the first week or two. There was no app that I downloaded between the time that it was fine and not fine.
I guess I'll repost this in the battery thread.
i am not losing battery overnight as much as you guys, my problem now is i can't get 6-7hrs of sot anymore, 4-5 is as much as i get, and it's only 1 month old.

I got my note 9 two months ago, I downloaded Accubattery today to check battery life then I charged it from 7% to 100%. I was shocked when saw that the battery capacity is reduced a lot! The app says it is now 3505mAh !!! With only TWO MONTHS OF USE !!!
Is that app accurate ?
I play PUBG a lot but that is why I bought the phone; because it is powerful and SUPPOSED to deal with that much of usage !!
I also use VPN all the time
I use 4G only no wifi no NFC no BT
When sleep for 6 hours with mobile data off .. standby consumption is about 2-3%/6 hours
Any suggestions ?

Accubattery is your problem my friend, not your battery.
Enjoy your device, stop worrying that much about the battery.
Two hours of screen time presumably playing a video game most of that time, and still have 70% battery remaining. Iphone users would kill for that kind of battery life. Think about it, 2 hours of game playing gets you 30% battery drain, then I can surmise that you can play nonstop for around 6+ hours before your battery dies. That's excellent by any standard. I remember a time when 2 hours of screen time was considered decent, and that doesn't include playing a battery intensive gave. And that time was really only a few years ago.
It seems I'm over-concerned about the battery stuff.
Thank you all.
