Battery drain at night in A71

[Owais18]

More than 20% battery drain during night.

I just turned on Dynamic lock screen the last day, is that using this much power? Still, it's bad.

if u have video screen saver, it does consume battery 🔋 too.. or, it also depend how old ur battery is.

No, just dynamic locksceeen

one of the main reasons of battery drain is background activity,
even you close apps but they uses ur battery and running in background unnecessary, see image(1) and read the statement.
2nd due to huge notification options.
for e.g ; Google has huge notification which we don't need at all see image(2) just scroll up and down and check how many notification it does have.
So do these settings to stop, which consume battery unnecessarily.

1. Settings>>Connection>more connections settings> disable nearby device settings

2. Settings>>Location>improve accuracy >disable
A. Wifi scanning
B. Bluetooth scanning .

Besides above settings do some more settings to save more battery life and observe for next 1-2 days, it will give a noticeable difference

3. Device care>battery >power mode>select "optimised" and "adaptive power saving".

And then click on "app power management >
And enable these 2 options.
A. Adaptive battery
B. Put Unused Apps to Sleep.

FOR ANDROID 11;

A. DEVICE CARE > Battery>Background Uses Limit > Put Unused App to Sleep

B. Device Care > Battery> More Battery Settings>Adaptive Battery

4. Long press on each app specially 3rd party(LIKE FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE) and rarely used apps and also ON "GOOGLE APP" as well, then click on>app info> then go to these 3 options below on by one

A. Mobile data> allow background data usage>off

B. Battery >allow background activity >off

C. Notification >disable unnecessary notifications like promotional and unnecessary reminder notifications.

5. Go to settings> privacy > permission manager > location> and check which app have accessing your location all the time and if not using that apps then deny access or set as " allowed only while in use"
As unnecessary location access by 3rd party app causing battery drain.

6.  Go to settings > Google > on device sharing> check which 3rd party apps present there for e.g. if you use paytm , paytm will  shared data to show recommendation and suggestion which also cause battery drain

7.  Go to settings > account and backup> account > checkwhich app syncing automatically there and if any app which not necessary to auto sync then click on it and disable sync.

8. Go to settings >apps>search "weather" >click on settings icon right side > change "auto refresh" settings as per your requirements and disable some unnecessary reminder. ( due to auto refresh it continuously consuming battery)


9. If you use Facebook frequently then disable "auto play video"
And if you are mostly uses mobile, on wifi connection then also disable "auto play videos" in YouTube.

10. Settings>>Google >click on 3dot at right top corner>usage and diagnostics >off this option.

I've already done all those steps you mentioned since the day i turned my device on. The issue happened even with those settings. so my question is do you guys suffer same battery loss at standby after turning on Dynamic lock screen?

[Ehsank]

actually i can't say specifically for Dynamic lock screen as i didn't use it but it will drain 4-5% approximately more than usual, its normal because it continuously running and use data, but if someone want to use and enjoy features then have to sacrifice something, but i suggest you not to care individually an app just observe screen on time

[Owais18]

actually my phone was at almost 27% around 2am and when i saw in morning it was at 3%. the only change which I've done before the issue was turning on dynamic lock screen. That's why I'm concerned about this. 20%loss is a lot in 6 hours standby.

[Ehsank]

no i don't think it will consume this much but to make sure,
today turn of dynamic lock screen and check in morning then it will be clear to you

[Owais18]

40% to 30% from 3am to 9am i.e. 10% loss at standby without dynamic lock screen , which again is more. what should i do
