Also battery drain

Hi everyone,

Ever since I got the March update, my phone has had this very poor performance while idle.

I have seen that overnight I am losing between 10-20% in a period of time of 6-7 hours.

Last night it went from 100% around 1:30 AM to 87% around 6:00 AM.

I have done pretty much everything that it is recommended here at Reddit, XDA, etc.

Wipe partition cache

Hard reset

Avoid Samsung Smart Switch

Try to put individual apps to sleep

Uninstall apps to see if there is a rogue one

Used battery historian to check what is keeping my phone from dozing ([IMG="BH"]https://bit.ly/2LPhoIV[/IMG])

I found that something keeps waking up my s10 [IMG="BH1"]https://imgur.com/a/Dlj5dfy[/IMG] and [IMG="BH2"]https://imgur.com/a/7lI4HsG[/IMG]

Tracked with CPU Spy deep sleep patterns. I found that my phone enters deep sleep but also the CPU is continuously running

Any help will be much appreciated, I am getting desperate with this issue.

Very good informations in this link.

Unfortunately, I think you'll have to wait until the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] pchetan2:
I experience the same with my exynos s10. Battery life is horrible....even in maximum saving mode, battery drains a lot with culprit being android system. And in normal mode...Android system, Google play services (i use all Google's features) and Samsung push service.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] ok4n93:
Hey Guys,

if you adjust the phone settings a bit, you can easily achieve good battery life with this phone. Out of stock it is unfortunately not "great".

There tips in xda forums, which are really good for optimizing the S10 experience.

S10, exynos

Have you tried battery historian?

I have found so far that there are some wakeup sources, but I don't know what they really mean.

Can anyone tell me what is power on and off reset.?Didn't get that
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Throwinrocks:
Had the same issues with my S8 and S9. About to but the S10 and I'll see what happens. Around 10-12% overnight from 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] xDestroyer354:
On my sd855 since release day i've lost 3 percent in 7 hours (i sleep 7 hrs), auto restart it would be 4 percent.

Turning off mobile data reduces standy drain

On latest update and observed very little to no batter drain when mobile data is turned off ..I am on wifi all the time. Even when on wifi, if mobile data is on , battery drains in idle. Exynos S10
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Mubbel:
Why do so many people not realise that you get more battery drain if you have bad reception?

If I'm spending a few nights in a big city I have little to no battery drain. At home with not ideal reception I have 2-3% battery drain per hour.

That happend to my Galaxy Note,S6,S7,S10,HTC desire HD and Sony Experia play.

If you have battery drain in airplane mode then you can talk about battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] ChristiaanG79:
Has anyone tried turning off LTE and switching to 3G/2G Auto?

I've changed mine and standby seems to be much better(only for 2 days now, still testing), seems like lte is draining the battery even if you have good reception.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] sprintomatic:
I think pie is to blame, people with S8, S9 and S10 all are having the same issues here. What a junk software.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] RinCEWinG:
Exact!!

In fact, anyone can test this following next steps: Full charge s10, set Airplane mode, leave it all night, compare results here.... you will see that it can spend 1-2% all night....
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Dexter_prog:
Yesterday I left the phone with wifi and mobile data off. Same drainage as with both on. At home, full reception for both.

Anyone able to shed some light on why Google Play Services is constantly on? I've had this phone for a week now and thought it would settle l but until now everyday it's been #1 on the battery drain and it seems to be constantly active.

It's been like this since ASD5 - ASE7
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] kraxn:
Google Play Services is a heart app from Android. Without them, many other Google apps will not work or will be unreliable. In addition, this is also used by third-party manufacturers. It would be good not to attack this service if you want peace.

A few services have to run, otherwise you do not need a smartphone;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] rmn.br:
Hey, not right at all!

Here is some advices:

1a. clear cache of Google Services and Play Store

2a. Force stop them

3a. Reboot

4a. Give it time and check later

+ clear cache in recovery

1b. uninstall Google Services updates. Apps > Google Play Services > 3 dots at top right corner

2b. reboot

3b. they will again install updates

4b. Give it time and check later

+ clear cache in recovery

1c. Factory reset

Report results >> :good:

About Google play services

Everything depends on what google services you are using and what permission you had given to play services.

1. Check running services from Developer Options setting and check the services that run under play services

2. Check your google account for what services you are using (Example: web activity, location activity etc...). This can be checked under Settings > Google > Google Account > Data & Personalisation . This has many options turned on by default and your device always works to collect data.

3. Check for the permissions that you had given to Google play services and revoke whatever you dont need , especially body sensors permission if you dont use fit app

Improvements on standby after June update!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] akira888:
Illusion? Haha lol

I think I heard some previous updates had also improved standby drain. But not in my case unfortunately.

But thanks for your update. At least something I can look forward to

In my case I notice improvement in standby and screen on time. May update was bad for me but now it has been better. Definetely

S10 overnight drain - no hope?

Hello

Like a lot of other people, I am experiencing significant battery drain on my S10 snapdrgon. Overnight, it loses 4%/hr.

I tried different battery optimizations, factory reset without backup restore, factory reset without google app backup restore, clearing the cache partition, removed bloatware, ... No luck.

I had the phone since March 2019 and it was fine for 2 months then started draining.

Right now, I am trying to use BetterBatteryStats and GSAM to pinpoint the issue.

Over the past night, I tried with mobile data totally off and account sync off. No improvement. imgur.com/gallery/R6zBqTV

GSAM shows that, over a 8hr period (sitting on a nightstand)

- Radio is stable at a medium to high strength.

- Deep sleep for 6h44m and held awake for 1h13min - Is this normal??? this is about 84% in deep sleep? is this the average everyone is getting?

- Kernel.wakelocks shows activities from WLAN and powermanagerservice for about 25min. Hard to tell is this is unusual or not... Any insights?

thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] shubham4744:
I have similar deep sleep stats - 80% to 90% if the phone is kept on the table. 60% to 70% if it is in the pocket and I am on the move.

Kernel wakelocks does show the same WLAN and some other activities.

Although I do have dual sim - one in VOLTE mode and the other in 2G mode.

After May update the idle drain - kept stationary - was improved and the June update did not make it worse so all is good here.

I would suggest you look into Battery Historian for a much detailed analysis of what is draining your battery.

Before the May update, it was something related to wifi which was draining the battery when idle as with wifi off everything was working fine.

One more thing to point out - I did a clean install of the May update via Odin only after that everything sorted out.

All the best :good::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nikola Jovanovic:
In my exp it is draining fast on idle.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] doggydog2:
1.5day ok

5.5hr SOT / 30hr total (juice left for 2hr standby)

office wifi, home wifi, some 3g, some movement, permanent BT watch and location tracking, VPN

more screen on time than usual, otherwise 36hr would be hit if not 2days

i'm happy, it's even better than Mi9. worse than 6T, but that one has physical battery bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] IsocolXDA:
Should i be worried? Im on Wifi for 3/4 of the time and on LTE when commuting or at the gym listening to spotify.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Fenmanian:
Think I've found the standby battery drain on my s10+.

I was also getting a drain of about 2-2.5% when on standby.

I noticed that while on standby, I could often unlock the phone by placing my thumb on the sensor. (AOD, lift/tap to wake etc. is all disabled). It seems the fingerprint sensor is still powered, even when on standby. I've disabled the finger print sensor for now and battery drain has slowed significantly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] joaomateus:
Did you disable fingerprint completely? Is it possible to disable it only when the screen is off?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Fenmanian:
I did. I looked for other options but couldn't find anything. That's not saying there aren't any, I'm still fairly new to Android.

I switched to face recognition and in nearly 5 hours it dropped from 90% to 86% and that's with a little screen time too. Previously I would have expected it drop 10-15% in that time.

I've just switched back to finger prints and I'm going to do a bit more testing. The sensor definitely stays active for a little while after you lock the device as you can unlock the phone from standby.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] junkyde:
It is not active for "a little while", but always.

You can always unlock your phone via fingerprint without turning on the display. This is what I do most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] joaomateus:
Searching the settings I found that you can disable fingerprint scanning by unchecking Settings > Biometrics and security > Fingerprint always on. I disabled it and will see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] IsocolXDA:
Fair enough, but I love the fingerprint reader. I rather live with drain to use that. Hahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] junkyde:
I cannot find this setting on my device. Could you please take a screenshot of it?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] joaomateus:
Sorry, looks like I forgot a step. It's Settings > Biometrics and security > Fingerprints > Fingerprint always on.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] IsocolXDA:
Weird. It's not there.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] joaomateus:
Oh, I forgot to mention, I have the S10e, which has the fingerprint sensor on the power button instead of on the screen -.-'
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Fenmanian:
I think joaomateus probably has a s10e. It mentions touching the power button which is where the fingerprint sensor is on the s10e I believe. [Edit - Just seen previous post.]

If I disable fingerprint scanning on my s10+ and use face recognition instead, after a few hours, the battery usage graph (Settings/Device care/Battery/Battery usage) shows a very noticeable change.

I work at home so I might try smart lock as i don't need it locked all the time. My only concern is whether this is going to end up burning more battery life too. Guess I'll give it a try and find out.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] bassgenerator:
Well. Write to us then your finding. thx
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] frankcilo:
I recently bought S10 + and I restored the data (wifi password etc) from the old smartphone, restore that asked me to do as soon as I turned it on. like other Samsung's in the past, I remembered that when you restore Android settings from your old smartphone, then the new smartphone no longer goes into deep sleep, and in fact I immediately noticed an exaggerated discharge of the battery, even in standby. then I restored the settings, the network settings and the accessibility settings by going to the "general management => reset" menu and finally seems to no longer consume as before. Only now I have a problem: I can no longer remove the navigation bar buttons and replace them with the swipe, the menu now appears like this, the various options that were there before have disappeared. how can I do?

[IMG="new menu"]https://ibb.co/nrCy4wj[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] joaomateus:
After some testing on my Exynos S10e, I have some estimate results on wifi:

My "default" settings: about 2%/h

- AOD: show always

- double tap to wake: on

- fingerprint always on: on

- lift to wake: off

- Bluetooth: off

- location: off

- adaptive battery: on

- power mode: optimized

- adaptive power saving: off

- mobile data: on (but I think this isn't relevant since I'm on wifi)

- sync: on

Changing the settings below: 1%/h

- AOD: off

- double tap to wake: off

- fingerprint always on: off

- rest of the settings: the same as my "default"

Some "modifiers"

- cellular data: it depends on signal strength, but is normally about 1%/h more than on wifi for me, with average/poor signal

- AOD: tap to show: seems to reduce about .5%/h when keeping the rest of the settings as my "default".

Overall, I prefer to keep AOD, double tap to wake and fingerprint always on, despite the higher drain. Unfortunately, I don't know why even with these settings off I still lose 1%/h. I have some stuff disabled (e.g. bixby).

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] cellphoneage:
I thought the airplane mode is the most battery-saving mode, but if it drops 7% in 6 hours, that would be too much. I think you should better contact your supplier and ask for an inspection.

I find that the S10 series battery issues are basically two conditions:

1. normal device. One night standby, the battery drop about 3%, mostly not more than 5% (depending on personal habits, background APPs, and 4G, WIFI signal and other factors).

2. abnormal device, standby battery drop of about 20%, flight mode power drop 10% (for one night about 7 hours, tested by my friend's S10+, which has been returned for inspection)

My S10 snapdragon SM-G973U dropped down by 30% in standby while I was at work today for 4 hours. Nothing was open and I wasn't using my phone at all during those 4 hours.

I just bought this phone brand new yesterday. What in the world Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] tar1q.hasan:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nikola Jovanovic:
I was losing 30% minimum over a day on standby drain. At night it was about 8-10%. So I’ve sold it, and got Iphone xs max. No drain whatsoever. I’ve considered s10+, but since S series in my region is based on inferior exynos, it’s wasn’t acceptable for me anymore. Tought about purchasing over there in China on AliExpress, but import taxes are humongous, so I’ve quit
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] secretwolf98:
I've had the S10+ last week, that thing was a battery eater machine. So I took it back, and got the S10.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] secretwolf98:
After 2 weeks with the S10 snapdragon, I have noticed my battery goes down by 5% while only listening to Spotify for about 30 minutes. I'm not liking that I have to charge my phone twice a day. When I bought this phone, I was hoping to charge it once every other day.

S10 exynos Version. Standby is much improved after 2.1 Update with deep sleep function.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] zorzgeo:
Exynos chips are stupid and causes battery drain... I have Huawi P20 Pro too (and S10) and don't have no one battery drain.

I think that Samung is serious mobile SOC manufacturer but sims they don't care about their customers.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] ace2468:
Standby drain is commonly caused by backround apps and enabled system features that may cause battery drain and also scanning features like hotspots gps or wifi enabled can surely decrease your battery life

Also one common reason is bloatware.

Yes this annoying little apps that are hidden in the operating system always running in the backround and do "useless things" such as the useless gestures and security features like they can't even be compared by the neutral google security features and those little security apps that you can download on play store like uhhh so presumably i would rather debloat my device than to use them normally in a one week daily usage momentum just to experience multiple use of charges because my battery is less than 10 percent and all i gotta do is to wait patiently.

Get cpuspy and verify tht it goes in to deep sleep on standby. Dont get those gimmicky apps like accubattery and gsam- cpu spy will tell you all you need. If you use facebook then your phone is already screwed for standby. Facebook needs to be disabled or live with battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] ok4n93:
Actually with a few modifications the idle drain can be shortened down to around 0,5%. Lost last night 3% in over 5 hours. Wifi and over night.

For all with stand by drain: Do factory reset, wipe cache, set phone as new, do not install anything from backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Melhisedek:
Did all that, drain gets back after reboot, sometimes after an hour, sometimes after as long as 12 hours, but it still comes back. Did factory reset twice
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] isopure:
The parasitic drain is ridiculous. I've disabled mobile data in background from Google Play Services and Smart Things, both show in battery stats as likely culprits. Compared to the Android One Nokia 9, if I set that phone down and pick up later, it's almost always at the batt percentage I left it. This S10, -2-3% just from picking it up!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Xebeck:

True that.

I experienced a perfect parallel battery line every morning waking up even after 6+ hours of sleep in my pixel 2xl, even after a year of usage.

Never ever in any other device.

That was Nirvana
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] FalconFX:
Yesterday i received device care app update and it caused the constant battery drain. I recommend you clear its cash and see if it makes a difference. Use the app CPU Spy to see if your phone goes to deep sleep.
