New battery does not hold charge

New battery was drained and fully charged while the phone was off.
Now it drains to 15% after less then 12 hours of average use.
When charger is unplugged the battery imm goes down to 97%
what is the best way to improve the battery performance ?

Don't use it as much
Everything has a work in time, your phone needs to forget about old battery and dance with a new partner. Give it a chance...
Oh and search is a good thing. This phone isn't cutting edge anymore.

12-13 hours battery is good.
Reset battery stats

Did you get this battery from china?
It probably has like 800mah.

Is there any battery today that does not originate in China ?
It is marked "SAMSUNG G7 1500mah".
I already tried to calibrate the battery about a week ago using a market application that claims to perform a reset of the battery stats.
after the reset I drained the battery for 3 days and recharged while the phone was off every night (during those 3 days).
then for the first few days the battery actually held up nicely reaching 50-60% after 12 hours.
after a week or so it started to drain more rapidly reaching 15-20% in the evening.
It also fails to hold 100% when the charger is unplugged, going straight to 97%.
should I try another battery or is there a another way to calibrate the battery ?

What does your 'Battery Use' say is using most of your battery?

Its still quite possibly a fake samsung battery. Did it come from a reputable seller at least? If yes return it.
Heres an example of battery life with a genuine samsung 1500mah battery

Hey BenKranged
What APP did you use for that screen capture? I know this has nothing to do with this post but looking for one on the market and there are so many to choose from.

I've had good luck with the ShootMe app. (Sorry, I'm not BenKranged, but I thought I'd throw that out there.)

Is there a way to identify a genuine non-fake G7 battery ?

That's how mine looks. My battery does seem to drain fast when I am actually using it. But, also when I'm not using it, it seems to keep at a steady battery level for a while. I guess it's a trade off. I also use Juice Defender which definitely helps.

I probably used juice defender for about 4 months. Then I tried running without it and found I got equal or better battery life.

High battery drain i9001

Hello,
I have a problem with the battery drain on my galaxy s plus.
When the phone is standby its using 40-60mA. When I have lucky at night it is 20-40mA.
I didn't find the problem. 4 weeks ago with my htc desire and same apps and settings the battery used 8-12mA in standby day and night.
3G and Wifi always on.
Standard 2.3.5 rom. Push apps: gmail, gtalk an whatsapp (same as on the desire).
Yesterday rooted and deleted a lot of system apps to clean up the rom. Flash this morning a custom kernel with CWM. Nothing helps
I was happy with the bigger battery but with this battery drain.....
Has someone a idea?
Are there more people with same problem?

Where are you getting "drastic" battery drain?
You went through 48% of your battery in 7.5 hours. Thats not drastic. id consider that normal.
Also your numbers are way off.
You still have 52% battery remaining according to the screen shot.
So 76.4% usage OF 48% consumed is what is actually being represented there.
Remember that any time you look at your battery stats the calculations have to equal 100%.
So if you have 90% battery left. Then only 10% has been consumed. So of that 10% consumed its representing 100% of your apps that consumed 10% of your battery.
Now if you drain your battery to say 5% or less then you get a better representations of what is consuming your battery. But if its still going on 12+ hours your doing well.
From what i read on your screen shot your looking at around 14 hours of battery life.

I removed Google bookmark sync apk from system/app and now its 63% when I got back from school .. actually I leave for school around 7 am (phone is plugged overnight, I just unplug it and keep it my bag) use of mobile is prohibited in school so it's not even used for a second till 2 PM . Resting idle and having 48% battery drained . When I have extra classes after 2 PM I can use it and its dead by 7:30 or so in the evening .. I get 11-12 hours ...

Bad signals at school maybe?

I've heard of this problem from somewhere and from that someone suggested turning location services off in Google now or completely disabling Google now. Also an easy fix would be to put airplane mode on during school as long as you don't mind losing the possibility of someone getting in contact with you.

[Q] Lt25i Xperia V - battery drain issue

Hi all,
I am new to this forum...just quickly asking if there is any Lt25i user on this forum having the same issue with the battery. I've been using it for about 8 months with a stock rom (4.1.2, all updated). It is good device in generally apart from the battery which drain itself in about 8 hours or 9 hours of normal office worker use (you know, reply 20 or 30ish msgs or a couple calls total 30 mins tops, play around during lunch time, on a HSPA+ network, not LTE, about 20 apps installed on the device and no games at all).. and sometimes you can see the battery percentage drops down by one or two percent when you have been whatsapping continuously for about 10 mins..That's so much quicker than the other phone that I have (Galaxy S4). any one experiencing the same issue? what would you recommend? I am planning to flash the rom but not entirely sure which to choose. Your response is appreciated.

Youre not alone buddy. Although to many causes frustrations, if I'm just texting (whatsapp) I just leave it on Edge, or disable mobile data when im not using the phone. It's when I'm surfing the net that I'll leave it on HSPA+.

A lil battery optimization even on this 'tiny' battery by 2014 standards could have gone a long way.

To be quite honest, 5.5 hours of screen on is pretty darn awesome for any Android phone except behemoths like RAZR MAXX or Galaxy Note models.

However, with HSPA+ always on I can only get around 3.5-4 hours SOT at 15 plus hours on battery. The OP should install BBS and check what eats his battery on the background. 8 hours is pathetic.

Normal is relative. Is it a bit on the low side? Most definitely. Normal? Maybe. It really comes down to the apps you have and how you use your phone. I personally get about 5hrs SOT and I'm fine with that. Standby drain is more important to me than SOT. There are battery saving tips and trick you can try to google or youtube.

My phone drains like 3% per hour on IDLE. I don't have AoD nor anything in particular that should be causing this drain. I have no idea why. The battery life seems to be fine for actual usage, but teeeerrible for AOD.

3% per hour no AOD is bad. You have an app causing major drain for sure. You might have to deep dive in your battery stats to find the culprit. Last resort would be safe mode to see if your able to reproduce the issue. You should go to the battery life thread and ask around.

I'm not sure what it could possibly be since my old Note 8 did this too, but it alternated every other cycle or so where it would drain less than 1% or 3%+. I exchanged it for a new one and this issue is happening again except it was completely fine for the first week or two. There was no app that I downloaded between the time that it was fine and not fine.
I guess I'll repost this in the battery thread.

i am not losing battery overnight as much as you guys, my problem now is i can't get 6-7hrs of sot anymore, 4-5 is as much as i get, and it's only 1 month old.

There was a thread about Android OS drain.

I miss my note 4. I use to get around 5-8 sot. With this phone only 3 and half hours. That's with everything turned off too. On my note 4 I had just about everything turned on. Will be waiting for the note 10 to release then I will buy the note 9
