A54 5G Battery draining after few days

[VincentKen]

Hi all,

has anyone noticed battery draining after few days of usage? I leave my phone without WiFi overnight on Power Saving mode with 4G/3G/2G enabled. For the first few nights the phone uses minimal battery capacity (1-2 %), but after few days it uses over 15%. Usually restart helps.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Hey @VincentKen 

The A54 5G can last up to two days from a single charge! As for the battery usage, if there's any apps running in the background, this could cause the battery to drain. If you're unsure, or if you'd like to get a closer look at the battery usage, head into Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Tap on the graph.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the graph and there is no background app, but still the battery goes down...

@VincentKen: To gain a better understanding of what might be causing your battery to drain, please charge it to 100% before you go to bed. The following morning, head to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Tap on the usage graph > Make sure that 'Since last full charge' is selected via the tabs at the top of the screen, then check the breakdown below the graph itself. Does anything stand out as using a higher than expected amount of battery? 

In the meantime, please make sure to close any apps you're not using via the Recent button in your Navigation Bar (3 vertical lines). Also, head to Battery and device care, and select 'Optimise now' if prompted, followed by Memory > Clean now.

Hi @AndrewL ,

Thanks for the tips. I tried that as well as Cleaning the memory before sleeping. However, the battery still drains with no cause displayed (see the screenshot below):

Mine is the same. Charged to 100% before I went to bed, at 88% when I woke up. I've been to battery and the only thing running in the background is Google play services, but says that has only used 1%.
I'm at a loss!

After a bit of experimentation, I think I might have found a way to improve it. The following steps seem to improve the behavior:
1. Settings -> Security and privacy -> Find My Mobile -> Offline finding -> Switch off
2. Settings -> Lock screen -> Always On Display -> Switch off (despite having previously only Tap to show)
3. Restart the phone

It would be good if Samsung shows in the battery usage what percentage is used for the above features, so user can do an informed decision which to disable.

Hi All, thankyou so much for your message, unfortunately I've experiencing the same issue and I am really disappointed as was really looking forward to getting my phone. I've had the A54 for a couple if weeks whereby I was waiting to get a phone case before taking it out the house and using properly. However overnight my battery drained near to 20% I haven't been using the phone excessively at all. No videos and disappointingly not even tried the camera. I charged the phone today and already at 80% with very minimal use. I only am texting on WhatsApp that's it. I have posted the same query today. I have tried to do device maintenance but to no avail. Really upset as I've barely used the phone and explored what it can do 😪

Have you seen any improvements with the changes that you've made? I had about 15% battery drain overnight and I am thinking about returning the phone.

One additional detail I noticed - I have 5G disabled as my operator does not support it. If enabled, then it also drains battery overnight.
