Stop overnight battery drain on Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and Android 15 devices by identifying background wakelocks, adaptive connectivity loops, and Play Services sync faults.
When an Android phone loses 20% or more battery capacity overnight with the screen off, the processor is being prevented from entering Deep Sleep (Doze mode). This is almost always caused by either a partial wakelock held by a background app or continuous cellular modem power amplification in areas with weak 5G coverage.
After an OS or security patch update, Google Play Services can become stuck retrying a corrupted location or backup token, keeping the CPU awake continuously.
