Hi, what would you say for that? The phone is being charged, let's say it's in 40% of charge, than I slightly (really very slightly) punch one of its corner in the table or just put the phone on the table and the percent value of charge jumps at once to 100%. Very strange and annoying. The same thing is happening on old and new bought battery, so it's not a problem with battery I think. What do you think?
That's strange. Is it actually on 40% then? What does it show when you disconnect from charger?
The battery is now on 85%. At first I had 95% . Then after 3 unexpected turn off's of the phone the battery dropped to 62% . After 4th turn off it had 78% . In front of my eyes I saw jump from 78% to 79% . Then in may hand the phone had turned off another 3 times. The battery has 85%. The phone now turns off straight after I enter PIN, then I see the main menu for few seconds and phone turns off consistantly. It happens on my ol battery 1500 mAh and the new one 1650 mAh.
Are you on stock fw or did you flash any ROM?
I have stock ROM, with NO root
Below are my parameters:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Android: 2.3.6 Gingerbread
PDA: I9000XWJVZ
PHONE: I9000XXJVT
CSC: I9000OXXJV9

For now I was able to turn on the phone and see 90% battery level, so it moved from 85% to this 90% .
As you didn't root it, you can send it to Samsung and they'll repair whatever doesn't work.
Now the phone had turned off yet another time - it's 8th or more turn off - and after that i cannot turn on the phone. The one way is to wait for few minutes, then turning it on is possible or reinsert the battery which also makes it possible to turn on. But after entering the PIN, few seconds in the manu the phone turns off and the situation repeats what I had written before. Plus these strange behavior of the battery - once it is at full level and after turn off it may drop to 0% or 60% but now I observe that after these turn off's the battery remains at almost full power (90%)

It was a purchase from second had store unfortunetly. The seller tried to fix the phone three times with no result according to my ealier posts/descriptions. He doesn't want to repair, he doesn't want to give the money back. He is deaf for any complaints which I direct to him. It's difficult and quite hopeless now.
Well, you could look what happens if you flash a custom ROM, and if it doesn't help, you can still pay for the repair if the warranty is lost.
YHey everyone!
Recently I was able to pinpoint some problem that happens on my Moto X (xt1052 GB retail) with 4.4.4 rom.
I observed that switching off WIFI causes massive ConnectivityService wakelock. Every time I turn off the WiFi (could be through Tasker, could be manually) my phone collects 1 minute wakelock.
I verified that behavior by performing multiple tests with BBS and Gsam.
My setup:
- installed Xposed + Gravity Box
- installed Greenify
- no social apps like Facebook, Tweater
- Sync is totally switched off.
- No services like Google Play Services or Framework are disabled (either with Android Tunner or other similar apps)
- Location Services were enabled (battery save) and disabled - no impact.
So I was wondering if any of you guys and girls who has BBS or Gsam could do similar test and let me know if they experience same issue?
Test procedure:
- reset stats (i.e in BBS set custom point)
- enable WiFi and wait a minute
- check if there is ConnectivityService partial wakelock
- disable WiFi (manually)
- check BBS again for above wakelock
Note!
This wakelock will not appear if you do the test with Mobile Data. For me it only shows up with WiFi.
Thanks!

Do you have "always scan for WiFi blah blah" enabled in WiFi advanced settings? If so, turn it off.

Wait....one minute wakelock? How much total a day?

No I don't have that option enabled.
Yes the wakelock gets higher for about 1 minute every time you switch off WiFi.
I am using Tasker profile to switch off my WiFi and mobile data one the screen goes off. However it makes no difference if Taker is involved or not cause manual test gives same result.
So the total amount of time consumed by that wakelock depends on how many times I turn on and off the screen while being at home (out I am using Mobile Data which Tasker controls the same way without that wakelock)

Honestly, WiFi shouldn't cause nearly any drain if there's no related issues. So leaving it on is the best solution.
Chances are connecting/ disconnecting x amount of times a day is causing you more battery drain than leaving it on. On top of the wakelock. Which for your setup could be a perfectly normal wakelock.
I bet leaving it on would obviously get rid of the wakelock....and actually better your battery life overall.. :good:
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------
Oh, and same goes for data....though data can use far more battery life up if the signal is not excellent. So disabling data can be smart if signal isn't top notch.
But again, disabling WiFi when screen is off isn't probably helping....more likely hurting.

KJ thanks for the tip. I was thinking about leaving WiFi on but it will not prevent any app that needs (usually that Google stuff to use the connection) - drain battery.
Moreover I was wondering if this is only related to my phone or other owners of Moto can observe the same. The test is pretty straightforward so if you or anyone could test out and let me know I will be glad!
EDIT:
I finally found circumstances under which this wakelock occurs. When the 'Mobile Data' is switched off (i.e. by toggle in notification area) and you switch off Wifi this wakelock appears. It looks like it is searching for alternative source of network connectivity for a minute.
If you turn on mobile data and then switch off Wifi it will not appear or will be there but for a very short time.

I just bought the note yesterday from a local Verizon store.
I really love it but my battery life is literally TERRIBLE. I've googled a bunch to try and find a solution but I haven't gotten a straight answer. I've heard to resync your google accounts, swipe data and reload everything, but nothing have seemed to be solid.
I am a pretty avid user of my phone and I decently know what I am doing. I am coming from a Razr Maxx x912 with CM10 snapshot M11.
So I charged up to 100% at 10:38 am this morning, went to the Cardinal Lions game. Wanted test the phone out and used pretty significantly. When I got home it was 6:00 pm and I was left with 26% battery. That is not okay.
I am using Google Now Launcher because I hate that you can't center the apps icon on their launcher.
I have location on/off when appropriate, wifi on when needed, no bluetooth, automatic brightness, close out active programs, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary that would suck up the battery.
My battery stats are reading with Android System at 25% use and Screen at 22%.
I've read people getting a total of 22-24+ hours with their Note 4. I'm not even getting about half that.
Did I get a bunk battery? Does anyone know of something I could be doing that is abnormal for battery use?
The phone does runs hot to the touch on it's back. I also get messages from advanced task manage that cloud or facebook has lagged and overdraws battery. I don't know of anything else I've done differently than any use of my other phones that would change my battery draw.
I'm willing to go back to the store and swap out this phone for another Note 4 because I do love the phone.
If anyone would have any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
I consider myself a moderate to heavy user (gmail, hotmail, facebook, linkedin, dropbox, whatsapp, skype all syncing), often reading news and diff articles throughout the day, light game use.
I only leave wifi on when i'm at home or somewhere where i connect to wifi, otherwise it's turned off.
I usually get from 7am - 11pm with 30% left. Screen on time is the killer - playing games i notice the battery drop quickly.

I would say I am at the same level of use. Emails read and write, Reddit poops, typical facebook scrolling, instragram butts, news, text, Use bluetooth at the gym with wireless headphone, but no games or anything really consuming.
Do you see my situation as typical or atypical as in, is it obscure enough to go in and ask for a different Note 4 since because of the battery?

I assume that your phone would have been using more battery at a stadium with 50, 000 other cell phones its visinity. Your phone would be losing a lot of packets with so much traffic around it

that might be the case but as I was reading forum posts about the battery life on the way home from the stadium I could watch my battery % decrease. On a 20 minute car ride I went from around 33% to 30%.
Compared to other reactions to the battery life online, I don't doubt my battery is depleting abnormally for some reason whether it is in a stadium or not.

Yeah it seems to be draining a bit more than mine. I also listen to about 1-2 hrs music (or podcast listening), plus 1 hr using Runkeeper (that by itself only drains 3-4%).
Maybe give it a few days for the battery to settle in, then see what kind of battery life you're getting?
Are you using Lte, 3g or Edge?

LTE SM-N910V
On 4.4.4
Im moderate user with dropbox, google drive and 3 email accounts sync on. With power savig mode on I go from 7am to 11pm on 60 - 65% battery capacity. I keep screen on manual settings (automatic is to low for my likings) and phone is not rooted so I can't disable some applications running in background (same of them i.e tmobile my account I can close manualy in application manager). Install battery monitor to check if your phone ever go into "deep sleep" or if there is offensive app what keep it "awake" all the time.

Why do you say this? I've never heard to not use them before, so if something else is more efficient or less burdensome that would be great! My task killer has given me the message of apps causing CPU lag and overdraining the battery wit the option to "BOOST". Not exactly sure what this means.. I assume it means boost (kill) completely. Is this normal?
I'm complaining because I've heard so many people loving the battery life on their Note 4, claiming to have a battery life of 22+ hours while I am barely getting 13. I want to ensure that I didn't get a bunk battery and that I might need to swap it out at the store. I love the phone but it bothers me to watch the battery % deplete before my eyes as I use it.
That being said, I watched 20 minutes of the science of interstellar last night after draining the battery completely and then charging it back up to 100% and at the end of the 20 minutes 92%. 8% loss over 20 minutes of video should not happen. Have anyone experienced something similar?
Since Android 2.3, task killer apps will significantly reduce your battery life. When an app is sitting open in the background it is just stored in RAM and is not using any power. When a task killer tries to kill it, it removes it from memory and then the system loads it up again. That causes power drain.

Was that a streaming video or locally saved? If you're streaming over LTE I wouldn't consider that too unusual.
You also haven't given any screen on times, which are very important. I can let my phone sit idle and get ~15 days out of it if I don't touch it, but I could also use it for 7 hours of watching a movie with the screen on and kill it.

I was streaming it over wifi via the youtube app, so it was nonlocal.
My stats show Android system at 27%, and Screen 12%.
I charged to 100% this morning and am at 93% now after screen time of 13m 15s.
That's actually really bad if it was over WiFi.. I had this test done (and throughout that post), but the one linked is at 95% of 41 minutes OST (1st post on that page); I also have three emails running (Push - two hotmails, one exchange for work); My test was basically running a Crunchyroll video for the whole time.. I was able to get a little over 8 hours OST at the end of the test; However, if you left your phone on for a few hours, then that's pretty good.. remember the standby mode does kill battery too.. I use a 'deepsleep' mode when my screen is off (80%+ deepsleep from CPU Spy);

CPU Spy for 48 seconds.. I'll post one with a bit longer time next.. but you get the point.. try to get deepsleep when your screen turns off.. (for example, I turn off all the radios (except cellular and bluetooth) when I turn off the screen.. The app I use for this is DS Battery... I had the 8 hours OST test done while using DU Battery, DS Battery, and Memory Manager Full all at the same time.. so now only down to DS Battery left.. from what others say, the apps that clear memory are bad because it reloads them back into services/memory and thus gets more battery drain.. just like getting out of a car door (while you are driving to the store) every minute to check on something, then getting back in.. better to just sit and go the whole trip and get out at the end (which deepsleep mode can do).. the app can run, but it can't do anything because the wifi/mobile data radio is off.. (just like if there was no 'car' in the example);
5 minute run.. dropped a lot but still over 95% of off screen time is 300mhz or deepsleep..

Great. Thanks I downloaded CPU spy and DU Battery. I'll look into DS Battery.
Other than turning off radios when in DS, do you have any other suggestions?
I was using Google Now Launcher, which I think ran the Okay Google option all the time which sucked some life. I switched to Nova and relinked my google accounts and it seems to be running better.
Ill charge it full and then run it dry and report back with my results.

Turn off Google Now if you don't use it
Turn off Location/GPS or make sure it runs only in power saving mode
Turn off location history in Google settings
Use auto-brightness
Disable Pen detection in the S Pen settings
Disable S voice responding to double-tap of the home button (in S Voice settings)
Don't use the Google search widget which listens for the "OK Google" command
TeslaUnread for Nova Launcher prime drains some battery too, don't use this unless you really like it
Use power saving mode when going out for a big day rather than relying on it as the battery is almost drained
Disable any apps you don't care about i.e. carrier bloat, Google apps like Play Movies, Books, Newstand and Samsung apps like the TV/remote apps, video player if you're using an alternative, cloud syncing processes and print/spool ones as well. This may not make a big difference but it's nice to get them out of sight anyway.
And most importantly, as mentioned previously, don't kill your apps. The only time I kill an app is for big 3D games as I like them to go away rather than sitting in RAM. I also have a little routine, when I do a reboot and full charge, I run all of my common apps like Hangouts, Messages, Phone, Chrome and my weather app so that they are sitting in RAM already while my phone's at 100% rather than draining my battery during my commute to work in the morning. I don't really have any particular reason to do this as my batter never gets anywhere near 0% by the end of the day, I'm just OCD with seeing it drain too much before I even get to work.
I don't think most of the suggestions above are too extreme. Unlike uninstalling commons apps such as Facebook/FB Messenger, or disabling your data/wifi/bluetooth or even turning sync off. To me this is taking away from the purpose of a smartphone, but each to their own.
This is the highest sot i got for a flagship smartphone i have used

Getting about 6 to 7 hours with hours of playing Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.
Got 9+ hours but don't remember how I had used my phone that day.

No, only using Whatsapp, Google Chrome and sometimes Snapchat / Spotify. Also Mobile Data / Wifi enabled all day.
Well I probably would have hit 11+ hours but I had to charge before going to bed the first Sunday after I got the phone. About 9.5 hours with 25% still left. All stock, stock kernel. I for for titanium backup and a couple other root apps.
I've got 5h 50m SOT with 54% remaining
How do you guys do this? I get like 5Hour on display in one charge.

Screen on time depends heavily on how you use your phone. Playing Pokemon Go all day will result in much less screen on time than doing something light like watching a locally stored movie.
Just wanted to ask what the AccuBattery app says about the "health" of your battery? It was showing me that the battery only has 3.053mAh (about 8% less than it's supposed to be) from day one.
It's at 3.051 mAh right now.
My op5 eats 10 percent of the battery for every hr of screen on time so I get about 10 hrs per full charge.
For those who don't know...it helps to keep your screen as black as possible as this is an AMOLED display. So wherever your screen is black...it's off. I use the dark theme . My wallpaper is solid black. I'm used the "lines" icon pack as well
When I'll be reading online for long periods of time I sometimes use the "inverted colors" option but I'm not doing anything else special. I always have auto brightness on as well
I always get around 7-8 hr. But could not pass 8 hrs

I don't usually pay much attention to my battery at this point. One of those things that once you have it for a couple weeks, it's just looking at the same thing.
Also, I charge my phone each morning before leaving for work, so my battery never really goes below 60-70%. Those pics are over Saturday and Sunday. Tried killing the battery but only got it 25%.
My usage is medium to heavy use. Calls all day for work, about an hour or so a day, YouTube and web surfing, emails on push with 2 accounts (I get about 20-30 a day). Occasional game, nothing much. 2 hours of music streaming 2 hour total commute to work on the train. WhatsApp mixed text, photo, videos about 200 a day (mostly text)

Spent the day at home, close to wifi and mostly reading with low brightness.

Hi all.
I buy the Galaxy S9 Plus, received two days ago.
Currently i have the January Firmware, no update here in Italy, that seems unstable right now.
Compared to my Oneplus 5t, sorry to say, but it is a bit laggier.
In those days, 2 times / 10 some application (Google maps - Twitter) have crashes or made the phone unusable (i have to force close Google maps three times yesterday).
Also, the battery is draining really fast, battery today drops with a medium usage to 10% after 2h of screen.
Hoping that the situation will be better with the new firmware.
2 days for testing battery life not enough the device still learning how u use it
for crashing and unstable for sure updates will solve that
The device isn't even officially released yet. Give them time to release the update that we already know is being released (already has been in Germany).
Allow more time for battery. A new phone has to learn your usage patterns before the battery is properly optimised.
If you're getting a lot of app crashes there's something wrong. Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, return it as its faulty.
battery indeed drain very fast. I own a regular UK dual sim s9. compared to S8 which I previously own, sot is up to 1.5 hours shorter. basic operation heats up phone fast too.
I have none of such problems. No crashes so far. Battery life is great. Maybe faulty unit?
These are my battery figures so far.
I have had no crashes just yet. I managed about 4 hours SoT over an 18 hour day yesterday. Not amazing but better than my old 6P.
The device is lightning fast and keeps quite a bit in memory too!
Got the plus and had an ota yesterday. 1 fc of something I can't quite remember prior to update.
Been rock stable and battery excellent since then

Something wrong with your apps/configuration. Android system can't be the top drainer....

Hi all.
I buy the Galaxy S9 Plus, received two days ago.
Currently i have the January Firmware, no update here in Italy, that seems unstable right now.
Compared to my Oneplus 5t, sorry to say, but it is a bit laggier.
In those days, 2 times / 10 some application (Google maps - Twitter) have crashes or made the phone unusable (i have to force close Google maps three times yesterday).
Also, the battery is draining really fast, battery today drops with a medium usage to 10% after 2h of screen.
Hoping that the situation will be better with the new firmware.

I can tell you one thing when users report 5-7hrs sot and you just get 2, you can't blame the phone something is wrong with the apps you have or with some syncing issue

I will post in those days, some screenshot about my battery usage, so you can understand.
However, i will reset the phone tonight, so we can check if it's something wrong with my apps.
It is the usage pattern that counts as well as the apps, theme and so on. Some might not use Facebook for ex that is known to heavily drain battery. Others might have dark/black themes that helps, or medium batery saving mode...there are hundreds of scenarios. One user that has his phone set on FHD+ resolution wil have the battery lasts longer than one that has it at WQHD. Some might have smartwatches and devices that require permanent BT on or high location settings. All these consume battery so just saying mine has that much SOT or it lasts that much time, means nothing.
For ex, in the print screens above mix197 had 13 hrs of standby with 2 hrs SOT...2 hrs of doing what? Cause there is no voice call (and he has VoLTE active that sucks battery), no navigation, no nothing. Read the Bible for 9 mins and browsed the internet for 20...and having 13 hrs of IDLE. That's a graphic showing night usage...probably lasted like this since he was sleeping and the phone too.
What I want to say is that don't bother to compare your new devices with others....eventualy compare it with your old devices since those had the same apps and usage pattern (mostly). And read how to improve on battery: use a dark theme, disable un-needed packages/bloatware...including but not limited to Gear VR, Gear S, Facebook, Bixby if you don;t use, ANT+ and so on...deactivate BT, or set the mobile data to turn off when on WiFi (is in dev settings as I recall and it's on by default to switch quicker from wifi to mobile data). All these will help you get some more battery

The only reason people try to compare is to know if theres a problem with their device. For the s9+ it is the case as some are reporting 6-7Hrs sot while others are reporting 2-3hrs
I still believe that usage pattern and applications makes the difference. Such comparison should reflect something if same person was doing the tests. As this is not the case, results may vary by a large margin as I said. Besides that, the difference in hardware might be the binning (as it was the case with Note 8 or S8/S8+ devices). Could be that devices with higher SOT have higher values for nAsv too so that would mean they're much more power efficient and have higher performance too.

That's why i started a thread called chip bin and benchmarks
Ok, i think that maybe there are some serious problem.
Only 1h and 30 of screen on, and already at 57% of battery.
Something goes wrong.
See screenshot attached
Yes android system is an aggregate of many things you need to install BBS or gsam

How do you get such good battery life. I bearly get 3-4 SOT

My screen is usually on top then it's Android System. How do I figure out what's causing my bad battery life?

Install betterbatteystats and grant it the permissions via adb

Now you leave your phone for an hour or 2 untouched and see how it behaves. Look for partial wakelocks and alarms
