Posted July 15, 2019 I have Samsung Galaxy smartphone previous generations. And my battery is become low from 100% to 10-15% in 1 day of power on. It will be ok if I am using it. Problem is what I don't use the phone, I'm just need to power on for 1-2 calls for every day , so almost like 99% of the time smartphone is just backpacking on the table with turned off display. And I don't get know it consume almost all the power from the battery? I mean for what? I'm asking because I have a tablet pc (also of previous generations) but If keep it with power on with display off, so also like I do with smartphone it consume like only 10% of the battery during the full day. So why smartphone is consume so much power in idle stand by? Maybe I should cut off or disable some of system processes or something like this? P.S. Battery on the smartphone is new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly... Spoiler What is your budget/country for your new PC? what monitor resolution/refresh rate? What games or other software do you need to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 15, 2019 You have a samsung, literally just go to the battery settings and put it on ultra power saving mode. There you can only allow a few apps, and your battery will last for a week. I only see your reply if you @ me. This reply/comment was generated by AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have just "Power Savings" options, but i does not helps very well, only for like 15-20 max % saving more, so in my case it's not very like a solution. So its saves maximum only like 3 hours of all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember android 4 that well, maybe you can root it and customize the power usage. I only see your reply if you @ me. This reply/comment was generated by AI.

It may just not be holding its capacity anymore. I set my S8 to 'auto optimize' and restart once a day to make sure I don't have apps running in the background wasting battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Android OS is eating the lion share of power by a vast amount, I smell a wakelock. Unfortunately, pinning down a wakelock that shows as Android OS is an exercise in frustration infuriating endeavor that will probably shorten your lifespan a few years at the end of it. I don't really have any solutions to offer as you'll probably need root to dig deeper to see which services (within Android OS) are doing what.

If just replaced... hope it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
