Battery consumption too high or normal

I don’t know if this has been the case for a while or if battery consumption only increased so significantly with Android 16. But at least since Android 16, I’ve noticed that the battery drains very quickly. Then I noticed that Home Assistant uses 24% battery. Is this normal or very high? What about you? I deactivated location sensors and Health Connect sensors for testing and left only my alarm sensor active, but this made no difference. I deactivated persistent connection. Notifications are delivered via Google.

best place to start

Thank you for the link, I checked and adjusted everything but the consumption is still so high.

  1. If on the full version check that high accuracy mode is not left enabled all the time. Yes

2.If on the full version check that Single Accurate Location sensor does not have “Include in sensor updates” option enabled. Yes

  1. Check that Persistent Connection is set to “Never”. Yes

  2. If the Bluetooth Transmitter sensor is enabled check that the transmitter is not left on all the time, only enable it when you wish to use it. Yes

  3. Check that Sensor Update Frequency is set to “Normal”. Yes

  4. Check that none of the Notification Sensors have the allow list disabled in their respective settings. You always want to define an allow list to prevent heavy battery usage.


    Yes, all Notification Sensors deactived

Could it be that I have this problem too? Is there a solution?

This does not seem to be the problem, I have deactivated the camera map on the dashboard and still have a high battery consumption

Same here both on a Pixel 7 and a Samsung S10 running LineageOS 22.2. I didn’t realize it until a few days ago, so I don’t know when the high battery usage started.
