How much juice are you losing at night in sleep mode?

[hermannism]

Just curious to see what range is out there. First few nights were brutal, losing anywhere from 20-40%. Now that I've got a few things figured out, I usually awake in the morning to find only a 6% loss. You?

No way of telling since I am charging my phone overnight. I would assume most other folks are doing the same.

it's a smartphone. if you're not using the phone at night, it should be on a charger. not sure why people insist on NOT charging a cell phone.

I am charging my phone at night as well.

I always thought it best to A) wait til your battery ran down to the last drops before charging, and B) not leave a charging device plugged in longer than necessary. That's why I don't charge it at night.

your phone has enough metrics built in to prevent anythingi brash from happening to your device. also, you should NEVER full discharge a li-ion battery.

My family has some property out in the middle of no where and for the most part there is no signal. The phone doesn't get used much when I am there and sets on the counter. The battery drain when not in use is HUGE. The only thing I can think is that it is constantly trying to update, locate, etc. and uses a lot of juice to do it. I learned to just turn it off.

If you have hit and miss signal in your home, you may be running into the same problem.

^^^ any phone that cannot obtain a signal will use MORE power to search for one than it will with.

Maybe 5 years ago.....Pure bunk now....

Most, if not all phones today have built in measures to stop battery charging when it reaches full capacity. Also, todays Lithium Ion batteries don't develop a memory if you plug em in say, at 30% every time. But, that's not to say there aren't good procedures to use...like NOT waiting until it's almost completely dead.
