IF only 9ja had stable power...we wouldn't hv 2 boda about such....smh 4 diz kwuantry ryt nw.

I observed that recently on my phone too; my observation was that I activated a picture I snapped as my wallpaper. But immediately I reactivated the default wallpaper, It started doing NORMAL , I did not bother to find out anything further...ITEL IT1503 tho!

Now you guys may be looking at that statistics the wrong way.

I charged this phone from 0% last night before going to bed.
It was 57% this morning when I put it on.
But if you calculate the data below, it gives you a total of almost 100%

What it simply means is that out of the 7% that has gone out of the battery, the screenshot below is how the 7% power was used by the device.

It doesn't mean how they use the battery. It means how they share the power leaving the battery. Each 1% is shared in that way shown.

Just realised I'm facing same shii

Damn lcd nd Android os! Porting to ios or wp

You bought a cheap ass android phone, what do you expect ??

Biiitch sleeping around to buy a clone iPhone now thinking she has arrived do u have to comment if you don't know what they are talking about

One of the reasons why i d never make an Android my daily driver . ios doesn't do this craps.

This is probably a malware attack. See how to prevent this Here

BEST ANSWER:
Even when your phone is “idle”, it is still maintaining a signal with cell towers and syncing data.


If you’re in an area with poor coverage, it can make your phone work harder to connect, causing faster battery drain.


A bad or failing battery can also cause the phone to drain faster than it should, even when idle.

passyhansome:
When you chatting and you constantly typing, swiping on your screen it consumes battery, the second is when you are not surfing the Internet switch offf your data, cos ur phone could be idle and data will be draining ur battery. I might be wrong sha

it's not wrong.

Your explanation sounds reasonable but if you check the screenshot posted by the OP at the beginning of this thread and the following one posted by me, you'll notice that the total percentage consumption is not always 100%. It could be more or less than 100% and this shows that your explanation may not really be correct. Everything should always sum up to 100% for your explanation to be valid.

My brothers and sisters of NL, the thing tire me too.

bro i can't do without SwiftKey it makes life soo easy for me.
let's just say am an addict..

do you know that the choice of words i used far back 2014 are still stored in SwiftKey and each time i got another device I'll just synchronize
meehn try SwiftKey and you'll regret it no wonder Microsoft acquired it
do Samsung have cloud backup of choice of words?
if yes I'll give it a try

SwiftKey, best keyboard app ever made

Fragilegirl:
A typical issue wif many android devices. Could b malware maliciously processing in d background. This is one of d reasons I stick wif my iOS.

I hope you know iPhones are also malware prone. With considerably greater consequences as most iPhone users rarely take measures to minimise the impact of of a malware attack because they incorrectly believe it is maleware proof

True. Even mine was 97% or thereabout. I think what it does is an estimate of how much power is consumed by each running feature in the device. It's now left for the user to adjust features of the power consuming component. Although, you can't rule off the impact of malware in the entire fiasco. Although Android is a heavy OS as we were told

"Taps mic and clears throat"

I want to believe the 'doze' feature in Marshmallow and in the recent Nougat, reduces the battery demand on the phone when idle.
My thoughts though.

The picture attached is my Tecno H6 running Temasek custom rom, based on Marshmallow.

You are a big fool.....your thinking ability is down.

gentlegenius:
This is the same question I've been willing to ask here. Can someone come up with a reasonable explanation?
The screen consumption is understandable, But I assume phone idle is the time my phone spent doing nothing, and if my assumption is correct, then the battery stats we see in our android phones is an arrant misrepresentation of data. I'm saying this because I've never noticed my battery drop even 1% when my phone is idle(doing nothing). Even the app I use most of the time(UC mini), consumes just 1% battery according to the stats below.

Which network re u using dat has 4G

kayswag100:

this is for my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.
best phone ever...of course after S7 edge.

A machine for those who know.

Just turn down your brightness level to zero expecially at night, or use apps with night mode that could help your eyes from straining as well as well conserve you some battery. Switch off any vibration settings when you type on the touch screen and check the difference as you save more juice on your device.

This appear to be the worst answer of all answers posted thus far. The OP question is very apt, the question specifically mention screen not why your phone drains battery generally . Kindly explain the Nexus between screen and RF signal ?.


To contribute my own answer .

Most android LCD had thousands of transistors and LED integrated as a module to give the perfect beauty of colours and brightness we see.even when the LCD is on sleep mode these transistors are active . It therefore means the higher the contrast(the more excitation) given to these component the more your screen is likely to consume more of your battery and vise Vasa .

One should also remember to switch off or disable any screen activity like moving themes etc .also note that any screen dependent operation can cause the screen to consume much power , ensure less application are protected I.e to remain active on sleep mode .

Ok

Get root and worry less about battery life, when your device is idle.
Greenify or Hibernation manager solves this issues, but on account of effectiveness, I prefer Hibernation manager.

My itel S31 don't do that, so I can't relate

I'm the one using the phone, I can't boldly tell you my itel S31 is different

Maybe it's the phone you are using, my itel S31 hardly consumes battery

GenBloodykiIler:


that's why I love amoled and can't use anything without amoled

0% battery consumption of standby

if you wanna buy my phone and you're in East hala me

it's galaxy s4 i9505 4g LTE version with lollipop firmware optimized with some kernel tweaks that makes it battery saver also you can pre-order your extended battery of 6000 - 1000mah from me on any Samsung phone at affordable rate.
google what extended battery for Samsung phones or other phones if you don't know what it means.

do you have an extended battery for Samsung Galaxy Note III, if yes, price and location
