Updated earlier this week Samsung A40 
Fast charging now not working and battery drain is just awful. Went to bed on 49% and woke up to 1%
Optimised battery, put apps into deep sleep, changed to dark mode, deleted unused apps....just dreadful. 
Been on charge all day since 7am and.only just reached 100% @ 18.25

No hard data to show, but I confirm that battery drain seems to be worsened with Android 11 on my A40, with the exact same usage patterns than before the upgrade

I'm experiencing this as well on my A71, when I was on Android 10 by phone would loss just 1% overnight if even that. Now on Android 11 I loss as much as 12% overnight & nothing I've tried resolved the issue.

I've tried:

  1. Putting apps to sleep.
  2. Turning on power saving mode.
  3. Turning off location services.
  4. Turning on airplane mode overnight & turning on 'Senors Off'.
  5. Clearing the cache partition.
  6. Ever did a full factory reset (twice).

Not of these worked, even if I power off the phone overnight it seems to still loss about 3%. Device Care battery statistics doesn't seem to show what's causing this drain.

On a side note.....I don't like the new power saving mode on Android 11, it sucks compared to the previous one from Android 10. This seems like its a system problem that Samsung should fix, should have known something was up when I got the update early, I never agreed to be a beta tester!
