Standby battery times on andorid

[2008bangkok]

I recently moved from iphone to android and got a note 3, great phone nice and big, decent battery but im curious the battery can go down some 20% over the course of the night.

Just wondering how much others battery goes down not just note 3 but andorids in general.

I have the normal stuff running, facebook, whatsapp, messenger, i have also rooted the phone and got rid of pretty much all of the samung apps that are not needed.

You probably have some app running in the background using CPU time.

While "Task Killers" are no longer recommended, I would suggest downloading "Clean Master". It has a widget that can be used to clear unnecessary programs running in the background.

If I don't use my i-mobile IQ 1.2 (android 4.3) at all it may drop 10% battery after 24hours when I use the widget. If I don't use the widget then about half-a-dozen of the apps run in the background and I'll be left with 40% battery after 24hours of non-use.

Yeap, how much energy that is used while in Standby is governed by Apps you have installed, whether you leave a Wifi/GPS connection running or not, etc.

I have a couple of batetr monitors running one called betterybattery status and wakelock detector, both tell me that whatsapp, facebook,, messenger wake the phone from deeep sleep alot, so guess ill have to live with it or get rid of those, luckly its a 3200m battery compared to the iphone 1400

If the battery monitor allows you to close those messaging background apps, try closing them all. The messaging apps usually have other methods to alert you of incoming messages ... without needing the full app using battery in the background.

On my phone, the only services I let run (using the cleanmaster app) are Network Services, Google Play Services, Cbronus, Calendar Storage, and Calendar besides the 13 default services already preserved by cleanmaster.

Closing those messaging apps really helps. They each should have notification services that run automatically if a message comes in that gives you the option of launching the full app. Test it out yourself ... use the app to close them all then have someone send you a message (or send to yourself via your PC if possible). See which one still work when closed (they all should, same as when you turn on your phone)

It can vary dramatically depending on what you have running on the phone. I have an old Galaxy S2 that I use purely to receive calls on my UK number - it has no apps installed, no Google account associated with it, and nothing turned on beyond what it needs to receive calls. Currently the battery is on 40%, after 8 days on standby.

This is the one that was included with my i-Mobile IQ phone (in firmware):

google playstore: cleanmaster.mguard

It has the annoying habit of trying to upsell or suggest other apps ... I just ignore them and just use the widget for quick background app removal.

I don't know what Sony has done but my wife's Xperia Z3 compact gets 2 days easily with all the social media and wifi on all the time. With 4 kids her phone never stops LOL, teachers, coaches me etc. Not related but the camera is amazing too.

I don't use social media much on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and I routinely get three to four days on a battery charge. With my iPhone, I would be looking for the charger when it reached 20% charge as I knew it would be dead soon. With the Z3C, I don't bother until the charge is below 10%.

The Z3C is widely known for (a) it's good quality camera and ( long battery life. Contributing to the battery life is that the screen is "only" 720p, so far fewer pixels to keep lit than higher resolution screens, but for the smaller screen 720p is not much of a compromise.

2 days is good enough for sure, i charged my phine to 100% before i left work at 5pm and when i came back in at 9am it was still on 51%, i was asleep for 7 of those hrs but i will get a day out of a note 3
