Hi,
What could be the most obvious remedy to the discharge of battery slowly but noticeably and annoyable although the phone is off? I’ve tried by toggling off background processes as much as I’ve been able.

Hi,
take a look at Settings/Battery/Battery usage
Then scroll down so you can see which app how much drains your battery in percent. What are the top 5 listed apps? A few days ago I had the issue that “Quickstep” (Loader) has a very high consumption (>25%) even the display was turned off the most time. The phone was slightly hot at this time. After a reboot everything was okay. But don’t know why I had this. I guess the loader was in a untypical “loop” which caused the high battery consumption.
Hope this will help you a bit.
What exactly do you mean with ‚power off state‘? There are no background tasks of your installed apps running, when you switch the phone off.
And how much energy are you losing per day?

Thanks for your response. I switched to Nova launcher having noticed as you had, the high power consumption with Quickstep. Unfortunately it seems that Quickstep cannot be uninstalled, only disabled.
Thanks for asking. I mean phone switched off. Unfortunately I don’t have data to answer your second question. The worry of drainage in my new phone arises from the observation that when switching the phone on after charging, the battery percentage starts to diminish far more rapidly than what I am used to with my previous (Sony) phones.
It needs to be said though, that I’ve always doubted the linearity of the percentage indicators vs. consumed power in mainstream phones.
I still don’t get, what you mean. If the percentage goes down after switching the phone on, why do you worry about energy loss, while it is switched off?
I see your point, and sorry I wasn’t clear enough. I try to phrase the issue differently.
When I switch the phone off and then after a short while on again, the power indicator shows a number which is ca. 1-2 units lower than it was when switched off. Do possibly the switch on & switch off processes consume this much power.?
To be precise at that: How much time is between “switch off” and “switch on”?
Per definition you mean “switch off” = click power button once = display turns off?

With units, you mean percent? So ist one or two percent lower, for example 65% instead of 67% after switching off and on again?
I consider that as quite usual and wouldn‘t mind.
Or is the loss greater, when the phone is switched off longer?

By switching the phone off I mean Power off, not just turning display off.
I mean the battery percentage in the status bar. The loss doesn’t seem to scale with the time switched off. Thanks for your encouragement not to worry. The loss just reminded me of my experience with a Jolla phone with Sailfish OS some 10+ years ago, which was a show stopper.
