Hello XDA developers and users ,
I would like to share my serious ANDROID OS problem which causes battery to die in 10 HOURs only WITHOUT using it !
it just drains the battery hour by hour quickly .
I have suffered a lot from it besides i don't have enough time even to use the phone when the problem exists , and i won't change my 2.3.3
carrier's stock Gingerbread because it supports my language { the middle east languages which I always in need (the main disadvantage in official samsung firmwares that doesn't provide all languages ) }
the issue drives me insane i won't even download many apps and a lot of saves until i get something or an update to , but i don't expect 2.3.4 update soon in carrier's stock roms,
In battery Use option , u can see the CPU Usage and the percent % and it reaches it's peak sometime to 60% and 2 hours of use
I read about a solution , " Restart the phone and it will solve " etc,, but it doesn't really help me , to experience such a great and fantastic phone features ,
I thought i would share the problem here , so the developers and users will help , or link and show me a good rom with middle east languages
The pictures attached below . ( Ignore the Wifi line because it doesn't really affect on the issue )
Thanks .

Is this on heavy usage or medium, light? My galaxy S lasts about 15 hours if I use it very heavily, say lots of web browsing, apps downloading, youtube, music, Angry Birds etc. etc.
On light usage, as in minimal use of stuff mentioned above and only primary use is texting and receiving calls, listening to music on locked screen, etc. it lasts up to 2 days.
That's what i meant, it must last up to 2-3 days with light usage , but unfortunately this problem prevent the phone from providing longer life battery .
Ouch.

Here are my test results. These are not benchmarks or controlled environment tests. They were done simply to give an idea of real life battery life.
2g no data

The massive drop is due to a phone shut down (reason unknown)
3g no data
2g with data
3g with data
The workings were simple: set the desired network (2g/3g) and select data active/inactive, charge to 100% and use normally until 20%. No apps for battery savings were used. With the data active tests i had gmail and facebook sync. (although these were active in both 2g/3g with data tests i was more inclined to check facebook during the 3g part because it loaded faster)
Tests were done using
Rom : ParanoidAndroid Build 7
Kernel : Harsh 2107
BB/RIL : 725/622
I will post another test with 2g vs. 3g using battery 2x (app i use to save battery)
In the next test please post a screenshot showing Screen on time =D

Hmmm
Looks good...but i think you used your phone in 4 days only few ours to get this,right?
i used it as often as i needed it but the data being inactive it was used only as a phone (as the old nokia 3310) for calls and text (and the ocasional picture). I think it's a good indication that smartphones do not have bad batteries but the fact that they are used as a smartphones gives them the bad autonomy (see test 4)
But nobody want a Smartphone (dualcore) to use it as a 90s cellphone.
My O2X in 2G with data just work for 12hrs in a normal job day (i´m a doctor using a lot of medical apps, making and receiving several phonecalls, 30mins of GPS, whatsapp texting and taking an average of 10 pictures/day). Not using battery saving apps.
Android Version: 2.3.7
Baseband/RIL: 218
Kernel: symbiOsis v1.1.2
RAM HACK: Total RAM 468MB
ROM: Gueste2X 3.4
For me, the battery is drained by media and Google services. The Google services is understandable, i use Google Now and services like that, and I don't mind it. But the media is a mystery. I tried formatting my data partition, even reflashing the ROM but to no avail.
Anyway, I tried using other FWs, but the same thing happens. I have no idea why though... Any one having the same problem or knowing the solution? Please help, thanks!

Mediaserver (Media) is the service that handles all pictures, videos, musics in your device, including finding the files so they appear in your album/walkman and providing the file when you're trying to view them.
If you listen to music or see videos or pictures, it's normal that it will take some battery away
dude i have the same problem with battry drain my mobile battry dead in 7 hours 52 min in genral use like whatsapping, massagng and spme time facebook and i have 2g network. i dont know why this battry drains so faster earlier ihave xpeia sola and it stay near 11-12 hours appox with 3g network
i am also having this kind of problem.
battery backup is not upto the mark.
mediaserver takes around 20%battery and google services also takes large amount
Hey all! I think I found a fix (by messing around).
Go to titanium backup, and freeze media storage.
That solved the problem for me
However, you have to unfreeze it to take screen shots.

For Google services, I turned off location reporting and disabled GPS to save battery.
Now my batt goes at 0.5% per hour

Hello!
A few days ago I have installed GE , I tell them .
The first time I did it down the version 4.4, I did this to verify that everything was fine and receive the 4.4.2 OTA , and so, I got no problems 4.4.2 and I use that day. I had 4 hours of screen so that it is surprised me the second day only reach 3 hours of screen the same day as me considerably increased consumption "Android System" and " Google Services " and then I started pass the lag reason for my post ( in the video attached) you can see how after get out of the music app takes a few seconds to load all the icons , then I keep giving use and does not return to pass ( at least in the video), this problem is totally random and only happens with this particular launcher ( Google Now Lancher ) , I tested with the nova launcher and the stock rom and these are free of lag.
So I assumed that somehow he had made a bad installation and prepared to install the rom again , but this time I did down the stock rom already 4.4.2 and install it , install everything perfect ( as in the first ) and after a while I have everything I reappeared this lag , again only happens with this launcher and does so randomly opening or closing any app , the funny thing is not happening to me "very" followed , suppose spends two times for every 30 times I close any app .
This problem is very rare, I have no root or anything, all stock and any unusual app ( attached screenshots of my apps installed ) .
My only question and so I can believe that this problem is for my MID ( PN07120000 ) , it do not change that for the statute says you do not need to change it, now it is clear that the app that gives me problems is the Google now Lancher , which should not cause problems in mobile Google Edition , the same launcher occupied when it had a sense rom and never gave me this lag.
Also I wonder if there is any way to reduce the excessive consumption of " Android System " and " Google Services " today only because I have come together to consume up to 80% of battery ! and I've already disabled the location!
Hopefully someone can give me and cord , attachment and captures video of my installed apps.

Battery
Hi there, I have been struggling from terrible battery life for a long time. Even calibration didn't make any changes. So today I bought a brand new battery and calibrated it but it didn't work very well.
Here are the statistics:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Anyone can help?
Don't believe in battery calibration. It's a hoax. When turning on all lights and power consumers at home 24/7 the power bill usually get large numbers.
Focus on active/running apps and features you seldom or never use. They are sucking the battery and keeping the phone awake.
Ask your self - do I need GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth on always, Email check inbox each 15min, Calendar and background sync, Social forum updates Tw** Fa** Sna** anytime?
Enable when YOU need them, else off.
Android KitKat 4.4.x allow you to deactivate many apps without un-install.
This category of apps is usually called bloatware - the ones Samsung decided you must have but never use.

Thanks for your reply. But, I have even bought Greenify and I rarely use those battery-draining features of the phone.
Mine's been doing that for a while now too. It's always 'Android OS' and 'Android System' taking the top 2 spots in the battery stats. I've just gotten used to always keeping it on the charger.
I should start off with, my phone normally ends an at least 12 hour day with ~40% and over 5 hours today, It had dropped to 10%. I have barely used it because I unplugged it to go to a doctors appointment, so not much use there, then for like 3 hours at home on my desk while I've been doing stuff on my computer, so almost none there either. Another confusing thing is that it says that "Over-Counted" used 32% of my battery but >3000 mAh?

Any ideas or fixes?
Also, how do I spoiler, there's no button
We can't see your pictures. They are on your google drive apparently. If I right click and open in new tab it shows them, one at a time.
Using Google, I found "over counted" is the new "Miscellaneous" in Marshmallow. Are you on a Marshmallow ROM?
Some relevant threads using Google search:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...ble_battery_bug_since_andorid_m_over_counted/
https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/3osxfl/what_is_over_counted/
You basically have to go in and find out WHAT in the new Miscellaneous is causing your battery drain.
Many people have reported high wi-fi drain with Marshmallow, that could be your issue. There are ways to limit that -- @iiWoodstocK has some great settings. Or you can flash a custom Lollipop ROM (like CM12.1) while you wait for the bugs to be worked out.

I'm using CM13 and It didn't update or anything, this happened randomly. Anyway, how do I "go in and find out" the details, it only shows me the computed and observed mAh usage. Also, I should have updated the post with that info but yeah I basically found the same thing.
I'm still on CM12.1, so I'm not sure how to investigate the over-counted stats on Marshmallow.
