Standby drain - Galaxy Note5 Real Life Review

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.

NOTE 5 MM Idle Wi-Fi battery drain

I have a n920c with cambodian marshmallow flashed on it!
I have rooted it via cf autoroot and it works perfectly fine. It automatically roots and fixes deep sleep simultaneously!
The thing is, I have literally negligible standby battery drain when wifi is off. But if I keep it on, the standby drain rockets up to 4% an hour. I need to keep wifi on during sleep because I need to stay connected at all times on viber and whatsapp with family so I don't want to keep wifi off during sleep.
Is it normal to experience this much drain when wifi during standby is on ( ~4%/hr).
If somebody has a solution, please do help me out.
Because this means, if I'm doing my work when my phone sits beside me with wifi on (which i need) and I lose this much, I'm at a great loss.
Or is this normal with all note fives?
P.S. I keep everything greenified, location off, all battery saving things etc etc..
Would love it if anyone had a fix.
I have the 920C too on MM but not rooted.
I've got a bad battery drain overnight as well (around 20-25% per night).
Greenify and most bloatware disabled.
I'll try to turn wifi off tonight and see if anything changes.

Your Wi-Fi sucked the life out of your phone during the night.

So I charged it to 100% right before I went to bed and switched wifi off.
I noticed a lower battery drain overnight when wifi is off; you were right.
Screenshots attached.
What firmware are you on? Did you do a factory reset prior to installing the update?
Do you have other mods installed? Or apps that might be requesting constant data connection?

What I find extremely curious is that if I constantly use my phone throughout the day, I get great battery life. As in I come home after 8 and a half hours with only 30% battery loss; which is amazing.
Note that by "constantly use" I mean heavy usage where I browse the internet, check email, edit documents, compulsively check social media including snapchat and the like with constant texting, but without gaming or long periods of video playback.
I'm starting to think if I keep an app running and keep my screen on but dimmed to the max all night long, I might get less battery drain
Is this on wifi or network? Wifi kills my phone battery at home eve ln it's not being used.
Yesterday I installed juice defender and I have 20% more charge remains than previously with a typical day use for me. It turns wifi off and hibernates when I press home key on the home screen (gestures in Nova settings). Seems to be helping no end - +20% battery by end of a typical day. This is in addition to package disabler and Greenify, and auto wifi off when I leave home using IFTTT, as well as optimised apps. Try it.

Good very small drop while not being used, even when loaded up with apps.
I experience pretty bad battery drain on idle. Basically, if I leave my phone alone without turning on the screen, it would be fully drained in about 30 hours.
I've reset the phone many times but phone idle always remain as the top battery draining app. averaging about 100 mah per hour constantly.

Exactly this! My phone uses more battery while on standby than with the screen on watching things! I don't understand this behavior. Powernap + Greenify + Amplify doesn't solve it either, even the things that keep it "awake" are hibernated and also delayed by Amplify. Wakelock detector doesn't even detect any apps that are running during standby either. Also, I have no bad signal because it is always on full bars or 1 less than full.
If anyone figures it out I would love to know how to solve it.
I get this too. Im trying to debloat the rom of some apps that seem a little suspicious. Will do this tonight. Already backed up my current system partition in case I break something. Wish me luck! :good:

Tell us how it goes. I have actually converted the Amazon ROM to the OEM version, however, that doesn't fix the problem.

Me too. And I have debloted OEM rom to what I consider closest to slim or stock. We'll see later how it goes.
i've pretty much ran the Prime version debloated or the OEM debloated, same thing. I think it has to do with the phone radio and Android 6?
When I put it on airplane mode with only WIFI turned on, phone idle isn't as bad.
Maybe its kernel controlled? Have u tried flashing the 6.6 updates radio.img? Does it contain one? I only used prime to power on the phone from then on only OEM version debloated. And as you say its always consuming batt on idle. I'll give airplane mode a try today.
Alright, I have just installed the xposed module "MobileRadioActiveFix" so this will confirm if it is in fact the data that's impacting standby battery. However, not too sure because "Intelligent Battery Saving" does disable data over time and the draining is still happening in that mode.
Anyways, I'm going to be testing this and report back. @l33chpda @Alex_XV6700

I figured it out, I was monitoring the CPU states and the CPU is not using a hot plug. It nevers makes a core go offline even when the screen is off and it will ramp up while the screen is off because there doesn't seem to be a cap when the screen is off.
I think the only way that we are fixing this is if someone makes a kernel with a hot plug in it.
With Prime 6.4 mine lasts a month on Wi-Fi.

Yes, it doesn't make a difference. I do consistently get 4-6 hours for every two days, however, I can get more if the idle battery life is not there. For example, with your chart, my idle time would be about 45%-55% above the screen.
It's just the way it's reported in this ROM. Instead of looking at the battery stats, just look at the actual battery life of the phone, which is fine.
I have stock V12 vanilla ROM, and I find the standby drain can at times be worse than when I'm using the phone, and I'm not sure why. I'll put the phone in airplane mode and put it to sleep right after unplugging it from charging overnight and when I check on it in an hour or so it'll be down from 100% battery to 90%. When I turn off airplane mode and use the phone normally from that point on, battery drain is normal.

Yes, I experience the same thing! However, overnight, it drains about 10%-20% even though looking at the stats it is not even awake! It should only be draining about 1%-3% because it is not really doing anything at night.
Even the screen uses less power than the standby. @waingro808 could be possibly right that it is just reporting the battery stats different, however, on other phones with the phone idle, that percentage is very low and not as high as ours.

The battery stats dont add up either...
As you can see in my screenshots Im still 14% on battery
And it states that between SOT and Idle I have consumed more than the 2500mAh that this phone has on the battery.

From last 2 nights....i got 3 percent standby drain when I put my phn alone for 6 to 7 hrs with wifi on
Same here 3 percent over 8 hours at night. Seems like they fixed the drain problem of Wifi in comparison to Op5

Yes you are right
3 percent is almost negligible
10hrs standby with WiFi on, 4% (went from 97 to 93.) Pretty good I'd say.
3% as well no wifi
My device is draining battery little faster when using normally and on standby it is draining nearly 2% per minute while on 3g+ mode . Is it normal.. ?

Sorry guys .. It was a typo.. I meant hour. When I leave mobile internet on during standby I get 2% drain per hour when switched off drain is 1% per 2 hours. Location is off whole time.
So a H+ network drain battery faster compared to a WiFi ?

Location set to data saving, 4G data remains switched on as well along with WiFi
5% without wifi and data...I hope Oreo fix this...
how about when u guys use it until the end of the day while the phone screen is constantly turned on and off? 6h+ seems to be the average for sot but I haven't seen anyone post their idle times yet except for when it's during an overnight sleep
My friend has a 3t and his standby his pretty bad. He is on Oreo though....Does anyone else get a huge battery drain on their 5t?
My battery is draining as quick in standby mode as it is when I'm using it! I'm losing about 3.5% /hr over night. That is really my only complaint.
I'm leaving everything on. WiFi/data/ location/ Bluetooth.. shouldn't have to switch it off tbh.

If you live in an area that doesn't receive particularly great cell service, leave data and location off on your 5T. When your phone has to constantly search for a good cellular connection, it will eat power like a New Yorker eats a hamburger at a baseball game. And if a sub-optimal cellular connection in your area is the case, then 3% per hour isn't half bad...my Droid Turbo 2 would drain 11% in the same timeframe.
If this isn't the issue, then check the power consumption of the individual apps you have on your phone to filter out problem apps that may be draining your battery rapidly. If neither of these methods work, you may have to resort to factory resetting your phone, or RMAing if nothing fixes the issue.
So, I've narrowed it down to being a WiFi related issue. Something is running when WiFi is on which is preventing the phone from going into deep sleep properly (if at all).
When I switch WiFi off overnight, and leave everything else on (data/BT/NFC) then my drain goes from 3-4% / HR to around 3-4 % in 8 hours.
Can't figure out beyond that yet though.

I find the stand by drain right on par with my Note 10 Plus. It was fully charged at 7 PM last night and this morning at 6 AM was at 95%. I installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco with a couple of adb commands for the aggressive doze features.
Went to bed last night at 1am at 100% battery. No apps are running, i have a bixby routine that puts the phone into power saving mode while not in use over night. Woke up 7 hours later at 8am and the phone had gone down to 93%, so it has gone down 7% which is 1% percent every hour being lost. Looking at app usage nothing was running in the background this entire time. Had my device for 5 days now so has gone through learning stage. This is ridiculous standby drain, is anyone else having the same issue?
Yes my drain is also bad. Are you guys running Snapdragon or Exynos?
I am Exynos unfortunately.
Can any one try standby drain after installing naptime? Let us know if it helps reduce the drain.
I'm using Naptime and I think it does help with standby drain. it is in the par with note10 at around 6-7% over night.

I run it all the timed. Here's a screen of my settings, I don't disable BT on doze as I have my Note connected to my Panasonic home phone.
For me it was much worse, about 3% per hour during sleep! I just deactivated VoLTE calls (and also the 5G just in case) and it's much better all of a sudden! Can you try this, maybe it's the same problem for you?

Motion smoothness is the culprit
I have been playing around with Note 20 Ultra (T-mobile carrier locked version - SM-N986U)
I turned off 5G (Connections --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode --> Switched to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)
But even with 5G off my battery drained this morning while only have google maps open 10% in 45 minutes!
All my apps that I frequently use I have gone one by one under battery usage and selected put app to sleep.
My power mode was at optimized with so I lowered it to Medium Power saving and that looks like it took care of it.
If I go back to Optimized but keep motion smoothness at standard then the phone seems to handle battery usage much better (this is all with sync on for email push).
It much more on par with my previous Razer Phone and closer to iPhone XR territory.
Amazing. Only discharges about 0.5% per hour. Thats with always on display turned on.

My mistake on this. My Always On Display is set to tap to wake only.
However to get best battery life possible with Always On Display set to be on full-time, turn off auto brightness, then you can manually set the brightness down the lowest setting.
That might get you down to 0.75% per hour, but I haven't tested that myself on this phone. However with my S10+ I did that and it helped a lot. Only downfall is you can't see Always On Display in bright sunlight. However indoors is usually still visible.
Got the phone (n20u exynos) yesterday at around 7:45 pm. It had 64 percent battery. Did the phone setup, sync and played around with dex. The phone got warm. Went to sleep at around 11:30 and the battery lasted me till today morning 6:30, with 2 hours sot. Don't feel its that bad. I also think it might improve further as it is still in the learning phase.
i avg .9-1.0% a hour with screen off over night..

if you're having an issue with battery drainage, report it to Samsung directly via Samsung Members app.
Snapdragon. Switch off wifi and normal powersaving mode with 5g still on.
7hrs sleep time, consumes battery 4%
I'm losing 4 % each to Google and Youtube, though the apps aren't running. I've forced them to sleep when not being used and hoping that will slow the drain. I'll have to wait a couple of days to see if that has helped.

Question Improving battery life

Help everybody,
I've bought the phone 3 days ago. Battery life is very bad, getting around 3 hrs SOT using Spotify, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram. Mobile data is always on, Bluetooth was on for 2 hours
Is there any way to improve battery life?

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).

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.
