Waiting for your update sad.gif Hopefully it fixes your overnight battery drainage.

Doesn't looks good
Didn't use phone past 3 hours and battery drain 3%.
Will need few days to assess better
My ipad mini 4 zero drain at same time on same firmware

Yea. Otherwise ignore the battery standby drainage. If it can last 1 whole day, then happy enough right. Doesn't need to look for socket/power bank in the middle of the day.

It is only an academic exercise for me to compare with previous firmware. Yes phone if I use fully can last a day
Anyway is only my secondary phone

How did it go last night, Benny?

Not bad. I charged it full follow by a restart. Battery drained 2% over 8 hours. Will test again tonight without going through any restart

Update on 11.2.5 beta7 on my ip8+: battery drain overnight past 8 hours with both wifi n LTE on was 1%. Looks like is getting back to normal vs previous firmware before 11.2.2.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully this drainage is following on official release. I am afraid only beta version will get this drainage? doh.gif Are you with wifi/4g on overnight?

Yes always on 24/7

Mine could charge up close to 100% I am using the older model from note 7 days

Hey getting samsung genuine wireless charger shall do you good. I have to say the rm3xx latest charger is pretty good.
Wonder if you dont mind trying tethering with bluetooth and wifi on to your computer for data usage while charging? Without that, i am able to charge to 100% actually. Just not fast charge lol, maybe i was connected to only 1A instead of 2.1A output.  rclxm9.gif

Possible preventive care from overheating while charging and using tethering same time ?? Will test mine too

Need to confirm that with benny888

I had minimal app - it is my secondary phone. All are basic with no utility, battery , no games etc. Never had standby drain issue before 11.2.2.

Battery drain is mad while on hotspot. 15% an hour.

Is this abnormal?
*
Depends on how good is your LTE connection
My place is good averaging 90+Mbps and had checked before drain was about 7% per hour. Was on it for only about 2+ hours

It is very obvious to me !! Your display could be problematic if you can't see it!
Do test it again and view the display ?

Fellow sifus,

Worth it to buy iPhone 8 plus from
http://m.11street.my/productdetail/new-sea...d-grey-56288548

If warranty can claim from apple store Malaysia as stated? I checked other threads, people have been saying for normal warranty its fine
*
I would say you are risking it. It is not a normal unlock set but a locked set and unlock through turbo simcard

I don't use any SP on the ip8+ and Android too
Never believe in such stuffs
Had tested glass SP on Note but simply hate it
Nothing beats the naked display p

Phone is well protected with flipcase

I had been warned many times of not using such SP. Well this had been my practice past 7 years and all phones ended up fine when I sold them

If you have a lot of apps, then yes smile.gif
I personally don't like the feel of the X-One. Anyways, it's good to resist impact and scratches, but if you drop your phone there is still the likelihood that the screen will shatter.
We had this discussion previously at the iOS 11 thread. If you charge your phone to full (100%) every night, then you can see the drop will be 0%-1%. However at various other levels, (65%, 40%, etc), the drop could be anywhere between 3%-4%.
*
That is true
My ip8+ on 11.3b3 battery drain overnight at initial levels below 70% averages 4 to 6%. Is a disappointment vs earlier firmware 10...
Battery drain from 100% charged averages 0 to 1%
Anyway I had stopped monitoring such drain already and each day battery left at whatever level it is and charged up next day
