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

      We’re so sorry for making you have a bad experience of power consumption.

      When a new device is first used, there will be some data synchronization, application updates, system optimization and other behaviors, which will lead to increased power consumption. I would like to ask if you still have power consumption problems now. Is the screen on or off? Can you provide specific scenarios for the screen turning on? Are you willing to follow the following instructions to capture a power consumption log so that we can better solve your problem? Thank you.

      1、Enter the dial pad and enter *#*#570#*#*

      2、Select “Power Consumption”

      3、Check the bugreport and click “Start capture”

      4、Normal use of the phone for about half an hour

      5、Enter the dial pad again and enter *#*#570#*#*

      6、Click“Stop capture” and back to log tool main interface

      7、Click the upper right corner to enter the Log list

      8、Long press the corresponding log file name and select “Copy to SDCard”

      9、Open the file manager and find the “NTShareLog” folder. Upload the file to Google Drive and share it. Provide a link to the drive.

      Kind regards,

      Does anyone know which option is best for battery health? I’m not sure if understand them correctly. Why if I choose smart charging mode I cannot set maximum charging limit? Is it better to use custom?

        I usually limit mine to 90%. Insane battery life! I charged my 3a to 100% yesterday and got 9 hours! I also got the 3.1 update yesterday to boot!

        But if I use my phone a lot, then is it still better to use custom?😅

        Just bought my Nothing Phone 3a two days ago, and notice there is a significant battery drain issue for Nothing Launcher. It drops about 10% for a night idling. During daytime it also consumed about one fifth of my usage. It is truly an unpleasant experience for me. Does anyone has a solution on this? Thank you.

          harisuresh06207 my battery is dropping like 10 to 12 in an hour of normal usage or sometimes it’s like 7 to 8 percent in an hour on 4g what do you think is it ok. Plz reply.
