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!

I did the same ,even chat with them and they said developers are working on it,but still they don't know when and will update be released. 

This sucks man..phone is really good in every aspect except battery..

Like they don't giva a f..about customers and this is one of most selling products and lines in the world!

I have no problem asking Samsung about the status every few weeks or sending letters to the Samsung press office at some point. At some point I'll have enough material together that other people will be interested in it. I can then say that I tried to find a solution wit Samsung.

I don't have high hopes either, that would be the second big company that really reacts to something like this. There is one exception where I have constantly reported errors/improvements for more than 6 years, which were then probably implemented.

But if we can figure out what's causing the problem. I don't know if it affects all devices. It doesn't look right now? But if it were, for example, the battery saver mode, which triggers the battery drain, for example. It's theoretically possible. In my opinion, that would be a small PR disaster.

I was going to say exactly that, about the power saving...I'm starting to notice that when it's enable my battery starts to go down more quickly. I've already tried multiple things (the ones I mentioned before), but this is something new, I can't say if it is or not the case, I'll be updating. 

The last update seamed to have solved the problem but it wasn't the case.

I'm not even sure what the power saving mode does anyway. From my point of view, the main features are the modes and routines, where you can automatically deactivate Wifi and mobile data. Depending on the situation, this saves a lot of battery.

If you already set your smartphone to save energy, you have no idea what makes the mode even better. According to Samsung, it limits the CPU to 70%. Does it limit the CPU or does it downclock it? Reduces brightness by 10%, you can also do it manually. The mode switches off 5G, you can also do it yourself. Where is the benefit? The official description from Samsung could be better, much better.

I also activated the mode, but I have no idea if it does anything. I suspect the mode is not there to save energy, but simply a mode where you can click on it briefly.

For example, the router manufacturer AVM (Fritz!Box) has now introduced a better "energy saving mode". Basically, all existing energy-saving functions are only summarized there. Doesn't bring any new functionality.

Power Saving mode reduces the load on the battery by reducing screen brightness, turns off 5G and Always On Display, stops background sync usage and reduces the CPU power to 70%. This would prolong battery life if you wanted to save power and were just reading news articles for example, or general browsing. What really saves your phone battery overnight is putting it into Airplane Mode so it disables all signal transmissions, and also enabling Power Saving Mode too, so any additional phone use would not use as much battery, for example if you check some files or apps while in Airplane Mode.

I use Modes and Routines and have a routine set up so my phone automatically turns on Power Saving Mode when the battery is below 15%. With additional screen dimming, screen off time and sound muting. I also have a routine that I turn on manually which turns off the bedroom lights and activates a maximum power saving routine on my phone.

Excellent stuff!

Aand still nothing, not a single answer from samsung!

I'm done with this phone, last samsung i bought. Gonna sell it and buy some Chinese phone,like honor,or xiaomi,at least I'll have better battery 🔋

Is this normal?

[DrWage]

It doesn't look normal to me, at least. At first glance it looks exactly like the problem I have with my A14.

I would be interested in how long your smartphone has been running since the last reboot?
"Go to Settings>About Phone>Status and scroll to the end of the options. You'll see the up time."

At some point the battery consumption increases massively (according to the diagram) and only a restart of the smartphone solves the problem. I suspect it will start again after about 9 to 10 days. My impression so far

I don't know how accurate Samsung's diagram is either, but what you can clearly see: There is a point in time when consumption increases constantly. It also doesn't look like it was caused by the user. But you also have a relatively large number of apps. Of course, it can also be that the app has a bug and is doing something in the background.

 here is the screenshoot you've been asking for.

But i used all of this apps on my previous phone honor 70,and with the same amount of use,I'll have 50 %-55% battery left if i charge it to 85%.

So no apps are causing problem i think is exynos, combined with UI wich is heavy and not good optimised all together, so they need to update system or do something about this.

Yes, A54 is piece of sh*t
