Might be a dumb post, but I think my battery goes down a little too fast. One of the reasons I bought this phone was that its supposed to last real long, sometimes even 2 days supposedly. For me, it usually goes down to 20% around 4pm despite having it at 100%.

I called the post dumb because i always have mobile data on and use hotspot often, as well as bluetooth with airpods. However the thing is, i notice it goes down pretty fast even if i do basically mundane tasks, like just adjusting the theme, messaging on Discord (with data though) and listening to music.. And also, it seems to go down for no reason even when im not using it at all. For example, after not using it for like 2 hours,i saw that the battery went down by 10%.

Is there anything I can do taking these into account? I already prevented a bunch of google apps that always ran in background to help that. Can I do anything else?

    Badinek believe me very dumb . if you are using hotspot on a 5g phone , dont expect you can compare depletion with SOT. My brother has oneplus 11r and I have made the battery go 100-0 percent in 2hours on that 😂. you can try yourself . turn on hotspot and use your pc or whatever you are using hotspot for and download GTA5 or whatever . then see battery go zzzz. while surfing it doesnot consume much but still does. with more bandwidth your energy consumption increases. like if you switch to 4g with hotspot your phone shall last much longer. (SOT- screen on time )

      ghumnewala fair but I:

      • dont use 5g
      • use hotspot only like 1 hour maximum
        *

      You just disregarded the rest of the post. Also, the 2a seems to have real battery drain issues, since theres a lot of posts about it.

        what “mobile data ” exactly are you using , 1-G ? also

        Badinek all of them are using hotspots according to me . check my profile i have posted my stats and i dont have issues . 😏

          I have updated just now too. seemed to be happening on 2.5.4 as well though.

          this was for the entire day, from 7pm to 4pm. I had to enable battery saver by 4pm otherwise it wouldnt last. I played some games sure, but it still went down as fast as my friends, who use years old phones with smaller batteries.

          this is just now, ive charged the phone to 92% and then unplugged it and used it for a while. went down by 5%…….

          Badinek not a dumb post a lot of people facing this issue.

          @Badinek actually your battery backup is okay no need to worry. Your usage is little cpu intensive and you’re on mobile network. For one day try 100-0% and see the total SOT. Also charge with a slow charger for 1 or 2 times. Also calibrate the battery once

            Hello Everyone, The battery life on NP2a is good and with normal usage, it will easily last a day. I think that, the phone will need at least a week to understand the usage pattern.

            RajeevKumar_vNXavrqAJ7 Still doesnt make sense that it depletes 5% in 15 minutes of doing basically nothing. And as I said, my friends have much older and cheaper phones and their battery lasts as long as mine. I really doubt.

              Badinek your statement itself has the answer. Which phone is powerful? Yours or your friend’s?

              So more power consumes more battery still it manages to give 10hrs SOT on wifi and more than 10HRS SOT in video playback.

              RajeevKumar_vNXavrqAJ7 try this for once and then you’ll have the best answer whether its draining fast or its working normally.

              SangramBiswal_69PFOdmjnA Impossible I am a normal user who is active on screen not less than 6 - 7 hrs (include 1hr YouTube /Hot star/Jio Cinema & few times camera too ) still I get 1.5 days backup and I am using this phone since 15-March
