I recently purchased the Nothing Phone 3a and have noticed that the battery drains very quickly during WhatsApp video calls. Even with a full charge, the battery percentage drops significantly within a short period.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Are there any settings or optimizations that could help reduce battery consumption during video calls? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Hey Nothing team recently I purchased 3a device in which I frequently facing battery Draining Issue over a night in ideal situation where it’s drastically drops between 8-15% without use. Any one help please.
ermodhavivek1304 wait for update no other solution but you can try some things
Turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning
Turn off printing services
Turn off location and use it only when needed
SamarthNP1 all the mentioned solution given by you already done at starting. Still has a issue.
Battery drain issues most of the time are a result of apps working abnormaly and not because of os settings.
Because of this when I buy a new phone I use it the first few days without installing apps, only some basic ones just to be sure that everything works ok.
If you can’t find anything wrong it may be a good idea to make a factory reset.
Antonis_Pap all the possible idea given by you already done.
WhatsApp is known to have this issue I guess, I previously had Moto Edge 40 and it also used to drain a lot of battery on WhatsApp video calls. You can try with a different device too.
ermodhavivek1304 then waiting for software update is only option
I ordered Phone (3a) on the launch day and received it the next day and have been dailying it since then. The battery life was very good in the first week. But over the past 3 days, it has worsened severely. At the time of writing this, the battery percentage falls at the rate of 1% every 2 to 3 minutes of use! Even when the phone is idle, the situation is not much better.
In the screenshot, you can see that in just half an hour of use, the battery has dropped from 100% to 74%.
I hope this catches the attention of Nothing team. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
P.S: I’ve only used CMF 65W GaN charger and the USB cable that came with the phone, for charging.
The Phone 3a also loses too much battery in a short time. Especially when using Android Auto wireless or a normal phone call. I previously used a Motorola Edge 50 neo and its energy consumption was much more efficient. I didn’t have any such problems with the NP2a either. I have already reset my NP3a twice.
Yes battery still Draining overnight without any use 8% to 15% on ideal mode. CPU running in background and consumed more battery in ideal mode.
I was going to say the opposite actually. My 3a was fully charged at 11AM and now it’s 1030PM and so far I have almost 4 hours SOT with 70% battery left! Amazing
Why the battery drain so fast. When we get the updation to fix it
