Phone (2) - Battery Drain Discussion

The battery life of the Nothing Phone 2 on Android 13 was exceptional. Was heavily impressed with it, given the size of the battery. It was one of the best I had ever seen on an Android phone. Ever since I updated my phone to Android 14/Nothing OS 2.5, the battery life has taken a huge toll. On top of that, the battery stats has gone completely bonkers. It shows wrong data. The screen time which is being shown is massively inaccurate and the idle battery drain is way too much. Had no such battery issues with Android 13/Nothing OS 2.0.

I love this phone. It is one of the best Android devices I have ever used and believe me, I have used tons of them. In a span of 12 months, I typically use 10 phones approximately and this is arguably the best phone yet.

Please look into the battery issues/bugs.

Thanks.

MuhammedNazeefK i have done it sevrel.times but drain is permanent

AbhilashSabat_nv6pBv5Cth can you share a screen of your battery usage please ?

I have no updates pending, hadn’t updated in a while, suddenly at 10 pm my battery drains from 53 to 15 in 5mins??? Nothing related to phone 5G/4G or extraordinary I did in a while.

What is going on??

Seriously concerned about this.

These posts are quite concerning. I recently got my NP2, and posts like these discourage me from updating it to the latest version.

I have nothing phone 2 with latest os 2.5.1, I’m using YouTube music to listen to music and noticed battary is draining to fast like 5% for listing 20 minutes. Please fix

The battery on A13 was really amazing, but after the NOS 2.5 update there had been degradation. I did battery calibration 2 times still there is no change. I did factory data reset 2 times also. Kindly note this issue, I’m attaching A13 and A14 battery usage stats too.

Battery usage page is completely bugged up after 2.5.1 update !! The issue still persists after 2.5.1A update too !

Earlier before Android 14 I used to get more than 8 hours SOT , now I get around 4- 5 hours after update

The battery usage also tracks and shows unreal things , Like in the below , it shows i have not used anything in 4 hours , but i have really used it. Battery life also seems to be bad after the update

The same applies to me as well. After the update to 2.5.1.A, the battery drain has gotten worse.

I hope they have this on their table and working on fixing it.

Furthermore, the battery temperature rises up to 40° C during charging and also during gaming

Am getting similar charge/drainage issues since upgraded to 14 / 2.5.1a Was your origina problem solved and how?
