Same. Facing major battery drain even when the phone is just idle. Getting only about 5 hours of SOT from 100% to 10%.
Phone (2a) - Battery Life Discussion
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
For charging the phone it’s taking almost 2.5 hours this has. Happened after the update kindly rectify.
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
RakeshYadav_qaDTB3gDNq Install Ampere app, charge when battery is around 20%, take a screenshot of Ampere and share here. Please do ASAP.
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.
How much SOT are you guys getting on NP 2a . Kindly share.
ShubhamSharma100 5 to 6 hours

Hey facing the same problem like battery draining throughout the night. Before bed it showed 28% and when I took it on the morning it dropped to 15% . About 13% drop without any interaction with the phone. Cellular network’s were OFF except the AOD feature was ON . When I checked through a 3rd party FPS checker the in the AOD it shows 120 FPS constantly.I thing it’s what draining the battery. Please Fix this ASAP Nothing!!!.
