Abnormal battery drain onscreen per hour? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

So I just installed AccuBattery Pro and my battery drain while on screen is 12% per hour. Is this normal or is it too high? This is for WiFi-only usage scenario, I use Netflix/YouTube, read some PDFs, chat via Messenger, surf the Internet (Samsung browser), sometimes I visit reddit/instagram/snapchat. Majority of my apps is put to sleep when not used. I have the Exynos variant.

10% - 12% battery drained per hour seems so normal in my opinion. Mine also faced the same as yours and I always got pass 9h of SOT.

Your phone is awake nearly the entire 5 hours and you screen is on the majority of the time.

WakeLock on HTC ONE!
Okey!Another problem i found when installed GSam...Why is consuming too much battery than others apps that i use...?
Tryed to find in forums and internet : is possible to be from a media files or media scanner(i'm not sure because i compared results of my htc ONE with Galaxy Note ( in Samsung i have tons of media files and usage by this "Wakelock media " is only 4% )...And another source from interent says that : Wake Lock can consume and installed apps who do a background work and stop cpu from sleep! Anyway i want to know more about this! Thanks to all.

System (*WakeLock*) in GSam is the standard Video Player...And I resolved my problem with battery,I disable more apps and now after 2 Discharges my battery in HTC One seems to be okay!Happy now .

Nexus 5 Battery Results

Post your screenshots with a description of the test you used. ​
I'm doing a low to medium usage test with Bluetooth, Location Access on High accuracy, WIFI, HSPA,Auto Brightness and google now. From 100% down to 0%. Then doing a Full charge time with phone turned on.
Will be posting screenshots via dropbox below with a few hours in between.
Battery usage screenshots. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/zwr2s240knxqove/_FZDWDZWmT
4hr 6mins screenshots of time on. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/zzvlu7oplnax7qf/IeDdDl9Nb_
8hr in with screen on time. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/ww0uwt5fo8tbuk9/mw_LPAcrB3
19hr screenshot with 7.5hr overnight standbyhttps://www.dropbox.com/sc/t64536q9a0l0axd/RWJ6_Oq4gJ
In addition I've used a2dp audio stream for an hour or so. I'll do a full screenshot of all the on times later.
Still very low usage scenario. Battery looking good. @22hrs 40% with updated screenshots above.
Final Result only took me to 15% with 1 Day 16 Hours. Screen on time 3hr 16mins. Needed a full battery for the day and couldn't risk it but atleast it's a general ballpark. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/oaj33ji9kssx5rt/BFiLIz-Jef
40 Hours is still pretty good for light usage. During a busy working day i would be happy with 9 hours max usage.

Were you expecting Galaxy Note or LG G2 battery life from a phone with a 2300 mAh battery?
Those battery stats seem perfectly fine for a phone with a 2300 mAh battery.

It looks ok with almost 2h of BT streaming calls + 2h of music. Other results in thread seem more "realistic" (if you don't use BT). Let's wait for more feedback. If it could make 4-4.30h screen on for me, that means with custom kernel and UC it could easily hit 5h or more. *thinking out loud*

Here's my reply from the previous thread...
Well you say it's disappointing but I disagree;
If you look at the screenshots you will see how much battery has been taken by the voice calls compared to screen on time;
30% of the total battery use was from the 3hr47m for screen on time but...
A whopping 26% for only 1hr28m of voice call time! If we use that ratio and just double it (assuming all network strength was the same) you'd likely lose 52% of your battery in just under 3 hours...(this is just an estimation based on my results btw).
I honestly don't understand the hard-on people get for screen on time when voice calls seem to drain the battery much much harder... doesn't anyone use their device as a phone anymore?
Also if you take into consideration how bad my signal was the battery life I had today was all the more impressive.
A Random Afterthought:
IF that 26% that were used on Voice calls were used for screen on time...although realistically it'd probably be something like 17-20% with the rest on random android processes and processor usage; the screen on time could easily be above 5 hours possibly pushing 6 with bad signal and no wifi O_O...
Well nexus 4 with Trinity kernel gets 6-7 hours so with nexus 5 I expect around 8 hours on a custom kernel and stock should get around 5 hours which is pretty darn good.

The Default battery app doesn't give enough information imo, Could you install GSam Battery Monitor? It is free & very informative.

shr33kant,
The battery performance results you have are perfectly acceptable for a typical phone user that uses the phone for calls, web surfing, google services, movies etc. I only get 2 to 2hr. 15mins on my N4 with typical phone usage as you. So the N5 is basically getting better battery performance then the N4. :good:

[Q] Will hard/factory resetting the phone improve battery life?

My initial standby time was around 5 days, and estimated battery time would be 3 or 2+ days..... now its only 1 day 7 hours and and standby is about 2.5 days... would hard resetting it help?
Yes, because all the apps which draining your battery will be gone
I'd search for the apps which are eating the battry first and disable them.

The times are calculated based on your usage. I even had 15 days once but then once i started using it properly it dropped. It's basically a good estimate of real life usage. Don't worry about it

Well... unless there is something wrong with your battery (due to a software bug or what ever). It really won't change. In the first few days your estimate will be high,
but like people above said, it's based on your usage. You really shouldn't look at the estimate at all. Like it says, it's an ESTIMATE.

BetterBatteryStats, GSAM, or even 3C toolbox has a great battery monitor. I'm afraid that on 4.4 you need to have root to use BBS & 3C, not sure about GSAM.

What is your best performer ROM on battery life?, or with the least drain

Having a difficult time to survive the day with b391, battery drains on deep sleep so, what is your best performer ROM on battery life?.
Or what rom doesn't have battery drain when the phone is in deep sleep? (B391 lost between 2-3% per hour which is HUGE.
Actually im testing b360 LATAM, will post the results later if anyone is interested.

I agree, that is a lot - I only lose 1-2% overnight when the phone is suspended (in Ultra battery mode).
When you go into Battery Manager > Consumption level, which apps are using the most under the 'All' & 'Background' tabs?
With all apps closed, I've 21 apps under 'All' & only 1 app under 'Background' (WhatsApp). The top 5 in the 'All' list are as follows. How does this compare to yours?
Google Services (13.45%)
Google App (11.77%)
Android System (5.12%)
Android OS (3.43%)
System UI (3.06%).

30hrs remaining with only 30% battery is amazing (or, it's reporting wrong figures?).
I'm getting 'only' 36hrs remaining with 98% battery.
2-3 %/hr is awesome in my opinion..
I've been using fRomFuture - Home for a while. The battery life is sooo bad but I just haven't changed rom yet.
Say I wake up at 7:30 am, check reddit for 5 minutes. Then go on and shower with maybe 2-3 songs playing on spotify. Also maybe 1 phone call and answering a text. Then I'm down at 80-85% by the time it's ~8:15-8:30.
My phone usually has ~10% battery left when I get home at ~ 3pm the same day. I don't even use it much when I'm at uni.
I really miss the doze feature, apps closing when screen off is such a bummer, makes phone ankward to use.
On my humble idol 3 i lost like 3% overnight, with all apps and sync working on the background.

If you don't find out what's draining your battery you can't fix it.
I come from a Moto G 1st gen (XT1032) and I couldn't agree more. I can't use the P8 (ALE-L23) in the same way that my now deceased Moto. Google My Tracks drain the battery quickly, Google Fit? No way José! Even Whatsapp trigger the alert for power hungry apps.
I don't recommend the P8 to anyone interested in use his phone like a tracking/navigation system. The GPS is also bad.
The gps is one of the most precise, with 3 satellite constelations and more precise than Samsung Note 3 and any Lumia phone for example. I use it for map data collect in some cases ( i work in the same business) and it didnt consume too much compared with an older Note 3 and a Lumia 925...

Not at all.
I use the Greenify app for the "aggressive doze" and "doze on the go" functions. No problem what so ever with battery drain on idle, I'm currently still on B391.
Doze on the go really helps if you carry your phone in your pocket all day like me. I'm getting 4 1/2 hours screen on time browsing, you tube, lots of SMS etc.

Your MX player is consuming way more battery than it should be , for a usage of 1h 38 min it should not consume more than 7-9% of battery as I have experienced till now on this handset

The battery consumption does depend on the time viewed/used ... Agreed; But it also depends on the brightness used while viewing videos which depends person to person.
I can relate to it as I have noticed improvements in SOT after disabling adaptive brightness and keeping it fixed to 25% brightness for all tasks

Though I am not so heavy user, I use above mid level. I recommend the following.
1. Charge your phone for only for 3 hours and when it's below 20%
2. Screen brightness 50%
3. Rotation off
