ok but you lost like what 10% battery ? for 4h hours of screen on time ?

If this is the case, then it’s just a bug but it’s not the real value

I also see strange battery performance. I managed to get 10 hours screen tume when used the phone a lot to watch stuff and browse. On other days it drain the battery the same way with 3-4 hours screentime. I put down the phone last evening with 56% and woke up to 36%….

    Merged 3 posts from Wifi consumes excessive battery phone(2a).

    Moreover the SOT in settings app shows wrong sot most of the times and after x amount of time it get’s corrected.

    I purchased nothing phone 2a 10 days back and was really impressed by the phone but all went down in last three days after 2.5.4 update. Where I’m experiencing over night battery drain of 10 to 15% with all connectivity switched off. This is strange and I believe it’s a bug and can be fixed with the update. Hope the team could fix this asap.

      nothing 2a fast battery drain issue…

      In normal usage 6 to 7 hours…..

      Heavy usage just 5 hours…

      I expected whole day battery …but

      Now charge twice in a day…….

      Very disappointing…

        Same. Facing major battery drain even when the phone is just idle. Getting only about 5 hours of SOT from 100% to 10%.

        Ruthra it’s great man..what else u expect bro…u will easily get 7 + as per ur usage.

        I get 6+ as my usage is intense!

        It’s really really Good bro.

        Please appreciate it. Yea surely it will improve with upcoming updates and optimisation 💯✨🔋

          Also facing the same problem. There is this search engine selector that ran for 100 hours in the background. I killed it by force stopping. However the drain (although reduced) still persists. I’m not getting the said battery life from my phone 2a.

          My battery drained 8% and I didn’t use the phone. Please fix this

          I have best battery experience with nothing phone 2a, more than a day .. and that’s awesome 😎

          I am also facing the same issue. I have started using Nothing 2a (actively with sim) from 20th March (Now it’s 3 days) and initial day there were no issues. I think it’s after the update.

          • I tried using 4G network and wifi instead of 5G.
          • Sleep standby optimisation and battery health are enabled
          • Instagram is taking too much background activity even though it’s restricted. Currently I have uninstalled it.
          • Google is taking 16 hours of background activity on optimised mode.
          • Even the haptic feedback was off and refresh rate is dynamic.
          • I am using Nothing CMF 65W GaN charger.
          • Using adaptive brightness and adaptive battery.

          I don't think it could last more than 5 hours on a normal use. I don't even installed any games here or any heavy apps.

          Currently, I have uninstalled Instagram, changed refresh rate to standard and going to use 4G or wifi for the day. Then I’ll give the updates. I did bought this phone for normal use and it can’t even do that well. I hope nothing could fix this on next update ASAP.

            Battery has been great for me. The following SOT is a record and not something I manage every day of course. Few things to note about battery, in my opinion and experience:

            Newly purchased phone always needs a couple of weeks max to learn your usage pattern.

            After each update, leave the phone charging, in idle state without using it, for an extra 2 to 3 hours after it reached 100%. System needs to, and will, optimise itself in the background after each update. This causes extra battery drain and possible heating (which in turn will cause some more battery drain) while you’re using the phone. If you leave if charging passed 100% for 2 - 3 hours those optimisations will be done much quicker and can help with battery drain.

            I also always disable “WiFi scanning” and “Bluetooth scanning”. Those 2 will always be looking for connections and cause extra power consumption too. And disabling them will not hinder WiFi and Bluetooth connection in any way.
