Merged 1 post from Battery Health/Life in Phone 2.

Guys i got my brand new nothing phone (2) a week back (8/128 version)

Os version-Nothing Os 2.6

phone was working fine for some initial days but now I have started to notice some problems

1)Jitter and lag while minimising applications and scrolling down notification bar and this occurs almost everytime now(8/10 times) , it is very irritating and should not occur on such an expensive device, I tried re-starting it but nah nothing works , this needs to be fixed , and reddit and many other apps run very jittery and i think this wasn’t the case few days back and has just started from 2-3 days ago(or maybe I just didn’t notice earlier)

2)Battery Usage shows faulty screen on time , most of the times it’s stuck on some very low value than actual, and then after sometime it shows the correct information once or twice but then again back to showing wrong data , I’ll be attaching screenshots for proof

I have added two images and you can see the difference, this data keeps on changing randomly and displays wrong info almost all the time , I have definitely used the phone screen for more than 1 hr 30 min but still it shows less and sometimes even lower

a few time back it was 1hr 10 mins but now it’s again showing only 1hr

please help me how to fix these issues as they are really irritating

I have also found many other phone 2 users reporting this lag and jitter issue and the wrong screen usage problem is new to my device ig

Edit-just checked again and it has somehow decreased??

I have been continuously using the device, but still screen usage time is decreasing

The battery of my phone lasts only 5-6 hours but now it only lasts for less than 5 hours . I just bought it one week ago and I am pretty dissatisfied with the battery life.

I have seen some videos on Youtube that proofs the battery lasts about 9-10 hours but mine is just half of that.

The instagram uses most battery in background even I have restricted the battery use in background but still it takes so much.

What should I do ?

    I am also facing the same issue, my phone is just 1 month old (12gb-512gb) variant and I am very disappointed with the battery life, getting only 4hrs sot max and also idle battery drain is also a major issue.

    Most of you are complaining about battery draining, but all of you have on first place Instagram as a most power draining app. Guys, do you know, that IG/FB/Threads/YT (only as active)/Snapchat/Tik Tok are the insanely power hungers with no correct code optimisations and are draining quite fast battery even in the standby mode? No? So, now you know it, and also you know where the issue lays - in your hands. We all have same phones with exact same system (of course, some of you are living in hot enviroment with a high humidity, so results in these climates are slightly worse). So, if your phone have no major physical damage, you are the one who is responsible for bad behavior of your device if no one other face that issue… My typical battery cycle is +- 9h of SOT and battery last for 42h - to 48h with +- 15% of battery still left for use (night drain ~0,3%, active display ~5,5-6%/h, dark mode with apps in dark mode, no gaming, for gaming there are waaaay better devices in my home).

    From last 7 days I noticed extream battery drain in nothing phone 2 .

    I charge my phone around 10 am to 11.30 am morning weather the battery is dead or not ,because I don’t use my phone more then 2.5 hours for hole day.

    As normally from 7 days I charge my phone at under 10 to 11 am upto 90% (i don’t charge my phone full for the battery durability)and leave it as it is till 2 to 2.30 pm because I have works like studies and after that i play free fire max for 1 hour for which there is a drain of 25% i.e my battery reams 65 % and I use my phone for normally massaging,for call and for browsing chrome (especially nothing community) and social media like instagram,all this for 40 min for which there will be a drain of 20 % i.e the battery remains 45% .in total I use my phone for 2 hours a day and from 4 pm till night 11 pm i don’t use my phone but when I see the charging of my phone it is like 22,24and 25% .

    Only 2 hours of use and this much of drain .the hyp which nothing created for there excellent battery backup is all false.i bought this phone 4 month ago and already the battery is worst.

    Nothing should see into this problem and fix it

      Rob ⚡️ it was not before after the 2.6 update it is happening, heating problem and extreme battery drain . before the ideal drain was 6 % after 2.5.5 update it extended to 8-9 % but after 2.6 update the battery drain has extended to 15-16 %.

      I thought ideal drain happens at night but no at day time also it happens i.e in 24 hour almost 29 -30% battery get drained,for every 1hour there is a drain of 1.5 % .my screen on time is 2.5 hour from 100 to 10 % battery,in which I play games and browse social media for which the battery get drained upto 45 to 50% i know it is lot but it happens and from 50% battery till next morning get drained and charging remains 10 to 15 % .I have a old Vivo mobile of li-ion battery if don’t use it the battery remains the same even after 3 to 5 days with a negligible 2% of drain for 12 hour i.e 4 % drain for 24 hour if Vivo can do this why not nothing

      The nothing should see into this

      Nothing Phone 2, from the last couple of days my phone battery is charging very slowly (taking 2-3 hrs to charge 40%), and without usage battery draining so fastly (10-15% drainage within 2-3 mins). What is the problem?

      My 40k+ NP2’s battery is getting unnecessary wear n tear by NOS2.6 and this company is silent about. Any mobile device be it smartphone or laptop, the first priority is always battery, and they are still not addressing the issue. Performed a hard reset but no respite. I faced a widevine issue in OP7PRO and vowed never to purchase an OnePlus device. This time also its feeling like Deja Vu. Request you Nothing to please fix the battery drain.

      Edit:- To all guys waiting for a fix. In the meantime, if you have dual SIM, disable any one and then see the discharge. Discharge rate is drastically reduced by disabling one SIM or by using single SIM only. Just try it. I have gone through all the images shared in this thread and those who don’t have problem with battery are all having only one SIM on their phone. NOS2.6 is having dual SIM problem. I shall share the stats tomorrow if the SOT improves. This is not a fix, but bypassing the problem.

      Nowadays I am facing a high battery drain in Nothing Phone 2. For 2 hrs I am losing more than 25% of battery when I am using and this is the first time I am experiencing these issues in the phone after 6 months of Purchase.

      Please reply to the post If someone is facing the same issue as mine.

        It also happens to me, when i use chatgpt and cred app.

        If i just go back/exit from the app, the phone after some times starts throttling, heating, and battery starts draining.

        Everytime i use chatgpt or cred app, i force close it after using.

        Then this thing doesn’t happen
