dj1891, 31 Jul 2020I had this battery drain issue, tried everything couldn't fix it. I returned the phone.That's a wise decision. The A71 has great if not excellent battery life. Overnight, at around 9PM to 11PM, I leave my A71 on (Do not disturb mode on) after a full charge (100%) with data, wifi, gps, bluetooth, hotspot and everything else turned off (always on display disabled). I clear all recent apps so it's recent apps list is empty.
In the morning, after about 8 - 10 hours on standby overnight, it's battery percentage is barely affected. The best I've got is zero battery drain (still at 100%), and the worst at 2% drain (98% by 6AM or 7AM).

Use an equalizer app and enable the A71's Dolby Atmos mode. Choose 'Atmos - Music'.
I get great sound with the mentioned JBL bluetooth speaker and Audio Technica headphones using an equalizer app from Google Play Store: 'Equalizer FX' app by 'devdnua' is what I use and these are my equalizer settings:
60Hz +5db
230Hz -2.5db
910Hz -1db
3Khz +11db
and 14Khz +7db.
Turn off 'Bass boost' and turn off 'Virtualization'.
Turn on 'Loudness enhancer' and set it at around 55%,
(aligned with the letter 'H' in the 910Hz frequency
response adjustment bar).

Got this phone today. The only thing I don't like is that the sound quality isn't as good as my previous phone.

meredith, 30 Jul 2020I'm a galaxy s7 user but it's been overheating for a while now plus some other issue... moreCertainly. There are many things the midrange A71 can offer that the flagship Samsung phones can never provide. And it's not only the lower price point that's appealing - the A71 has bigger screen than many Samsung flagships costing several times more, and it's screen is perfectly flat too, so no annoying unwanted touches and no annoying screen readability issues/reflections at the curved edges, not to mention the curved edges are very fragile.
The A71 has also got a bigger battery than many Samsung flagships, a dual SIM slot and a dedicated micro SD card slot that no current Samsung flagship offers (they are usually hybrid slots or no micro sd expansion at all). The majority of Samsung flagships also don't have FM radio at all and ALL except US versions have Exynos processors - a no-no if you want to enjoy Google's excellent GCam with night sight.
Then some Samsung flagships like the S20 don't even have a headphone jack! So there's plenty of reasons why it's better to choose the midrange A71 over their flagship equivalents. The overall phone experience doesn't rely purely on flagship processor specs and flagship camera performance or ip68 rating or metal body or wireless charging.
Many people actually put more value to music and FM radio listening or to Netflix watching that's why dedicated micro sd slot and a headphone jack and a big flat screen and big battery matters more to them than those mentioned flagship features.

S10 lite.
A71 is merely a cost cutting version A7 or a J7 prime replacement.

Dr., 30 Jul 2020I tried all the options you told me but still the battery drain issue persists. Just recently ... moreDid you do a full factory reset? If battery drain still persists after a full factory reset, then you certainly have a defective or used unit. Accelerated battery wear/aging that cause battery drain doesn't happen overnight. However, if a bad seller sold you a demo unit (one that was used in a retail store for customer's testing) and not really brand new, then that explains the high battery drain. In any case, battery drain in a new A71 is unusual. I'm afraid you'll just have to return it and ask for a refund if it really doesn't survive a day of light to moderate use because given its 4500mAh battery, it should have plenty left at the end of the day.

Dr., 30 Jul 2020I tried all the options you told me but still the battery drain issue persists. Just recently ... moreYou are wasting your life monitoring petty issue like how many percent battery use in 24 hours, how many minutes each percent drop & etc.
Is the overall battery SOT that counts.
If you want a phone with battery hardly moved you should get those phone with huge battery like M31 with 6000mha battery or Asus Rog Phone 2, Umidigi Power 3
Then you can watch the battery drain in 2-3 days .. lol
What's your problem? Your A71 battery can't last till end of the day ? You need to bring your power bank all day ? You want to binch game playing for 12 hours ?

[deleted post]Probably only certain unit, my A71 no issue with battery drainage, i am getting 8 hours SOT, most of the time I still has 45% at night, unplugged 6am & plug in 10pm, this is more than enough for me, I too has a M31 with 6000mha battery which has crazy 10 hours SOT

I checked the stats and it shows not a damn thing what is causing the drain.
10% is too much drop when I practically keep the phone like it's off. I don't use anything at all when the phone is on standby.
Still having 1% drop every 8-10 mins for just browsing twitter and nothing running in the background.

Sad, 18 Jul 2020Please why does the A71 battery drop so rapidly, almost everything reduced or turned off still... moreHaving the exact same issue with my phone as well. Guys don't put it as calibration issue. New devices never have calibration issues specially when they have been charged few times.
Somebody please explain why is this happening? Is this software issue or the hardware?
