Phone (2a) - Battery Life Discussion

I purchased nothing 2a my phone doesn’t give whole day battery backup I only use my phone for calling, few minutes of WhatsApp that’s it.I have a good 5G net...

ObradKostadinovic

MihneaPerianu Oh I tried. Just so I give them bad publicity in the tiniest way possible, it’s A1. They suck ass, their support is bad, their techs are bad. The only people who understand the issue are the dudes in the stores, but they don’t have any way to mess with the backend stuff. So we wait for three months before I know if this is solved by changing the provider. Mind you, this phone isn’t whitelisted with the other providers, they just work for some reason

MihneaPerianu

ObradKostadinovic disable anything related to VoWiFi, VoLTE and HD Voice, leave only plain 4G, also disable data roaming and everything. You enable options like mobile data in calls and the rest one by one until the drain comes back, then disable back. And at home use always WiFi.

ObradKostadinovic

MihneaPerianu Let me explain. None of these things matter. Just having 4g enabled is like if it was a toggle with the label “eat battery all the time”. Even while on wifi, even with everything disabled, if it’s 4G it’s chewing battery. This is not my fault, there are no settings left to set

Update:

This is ridiculous. I have 40% battery left since yesterday, screen time of 7 hours, normal use. Wtf

MihneaPerianu

ObradKostadinovic maybe they whitelisted you, based on the complains you did.

ObradKostadinovic

MihneaPerianu This is with 4G turned off, if I turn 4G on it just keeps eating the battery no matter what I do

I tried what @MihneaPerianu said: Switched to 4G and turned off 4G Calling, and now it seems to be good.
Yesterday at 23h battery was at 60%, this morning when I woke up around 6h it was at 58%.
Topped up the battery to 100% at 8:30, and it is now at 70% with 2 hours 37min SoT, with location turned on, and with almost 1 hours 30min watching Youtube with TWS earphones…
@ObradKostadinovic I am also on A1, so try to disable 4G Calling.

ObradKostadinovic

nemanja Will do, that’s the test for tomorrow.

update: this seems to work too, not killing the battery, it can survive the night too. Wild stuff. Thanks @MihneaPerianu , I thought I tried it all already. Now I’ll get a prepaid sim card from the other two providers here so I can test if they can use VoLTE without killing the phone

MihneaPerianu

ObradKostadinovic glad to hear man. Enjoy your phone 🙂

SangramBiswal_69PFOdmjnA all of you should turn off the ram booster it makes battery drainage….

ObradKostadinovic

No idea about the ram, I dont use the booster. But this battery thing was a wild ride, I went froma borderline unusable phone to two days. Problem is we can’t be sure if this is really just up to the providers, or what the phones are actually doing while draining the battery (and why it wasn’t captured in the debug logs). So for people in Serbia - no A1 with 4G calling.

Gardna

ObradKostadinovic im so mad i didnt found out about this a month earlier before i signed a new contract with A1 but when i got this phone like 5 month ago it worked flawlessly for like 2 months then it was draining like crazy for 2 weeks then again fine for a month and then it was only draining again since. So i dont get it how it worked sometimes do they just flip a switch on and off when they are bored at A1 ?

GouthamSubhash

Just check your settings and turn it off…everyone’s ram booster is turned on

Gardna

GouthamSubhash i have turned that off since day 1 and it didnt help at all

ObradKostadinovic

GouthamSubhash Hey turned it off a long time ago, it made no difference. The main issue was 4g calling

darksinay95_yanis_

sve-gro i completely agree

ObradKostadinovic

Gardna I don’t get why they are so crappy now, used to be a good company. It’s like they’re going out of their way to make our experience bad. And it is a shame, you could try to break the contract since they aren’t fulfilling their part but it’s a slim chance

AndreiMiagkov

RohitUdasi in my country we just ban YouTube .. No app - no problem 😅

AmalSNair535

idle drain is increased.Nothing changed even after servicing.And they asking to submit it again . poor service from f1

Gardna

AmalSNair535 try turning off 4g calling that should fix it

AmalSNair535

Gardna my carrier supports 4gcalling only

RanjuSingh

Gardna There is no option to turn off VoLTE in my nothing phone 2a. How Should I do it?
