I don't know if this has been answered before,
But I'm just curious to know.

I might understand the screen stuff, though mine is always on 10%... Still weird
Then how about Phone Idle??

Tell us the phone model..

How may percent is the battery when idle and sceeen reads over 200%?

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.

What phone is that? It is a plaque affecting lots of Android phones, something that barely happen on iOS devices. My galaxy s6 also had this same standby draining problem, battery life was so poor I had to sell the damn phone.

I noticed the same prob on my fone and have been meaning to ask too. My fone idle percentage is always so high.

Cos a lot goes on on your screen..No screen, no phone. Plus you should expect this when you use mediatek phones...

It's optimized on the snapdragon phones tbh..

Your screen's backlight is the main culprit. Not really the display itself.
Having your screen brightness turned all the way down will save a lot of juice.

Also, if you have 'haptic feedback' turned on, disable it. It's not essential and drains your battery.
Haptic feedback is any vibration, sound etc the screen makes when you tap or type on it.

Idle processes are usually things running in the background. Like app auto-updates etc.
It also includes apps just being open in the background. They sit there, periodically checking for updates etc.

Open your task manager and 'close all' apps to take care of that.

ask buhari..


dude knows

149%?? What kind of phone are you using that dosent even understand what % means?

Anyway screens need more battery power to light up each pixels and even more power if the brightness is high. And when idle,your phone should use very minimal battery power. Check out your background activity op. I reccomend greenify for some rogue apps.

Just Passing by

Reduce the brightness of the screen and see how it crashes like Naira

Its expected, your screen is always active, while you doing some stuffs on your phone, the idleness comes into play when the phone is at sleep/timeout. The longer the duration of the phone when it's ON, the higher the percentage of the battery consumed by screen+idleness.

Heh

android fones and malware/LIEwares are like bread and butter

this is for my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.

best phone ever...of course after S7 edge.

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.

cool. let me digress a bit...

why do you have Swiftkey installed on your phone when Samsung already has a repetitive text entry that works better than Swiftkey?

it's found under keyboard settings

So let's look at it this way.
when you have a full meal and after digesting, try sitting in a position - you may even tap a nap or sleep out the whole day...
when you wake up, you still find yourself to be hungry even though you did no significant work...right?

so what uses the energy from the food digested?

your body's internal metabolic processes.

similar to a phone.

even though your phone's screen is turned off, there are ongoing processes.
your phones CPU is never 100% idle. it handles background services such as powering on the phones telephony service so you can make and receive calls, some system apps and services too.. e.g email, alarm clock, phone network e.t.c are still running in standby.

these are the culprit.

I hope you get the drift.

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

Samsung keyboard sucks.

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.

That's y wen android says it's battery power is 4000mah, it's as good as 1500mah on iOS devices.
