[Q] Battery Bleed

Hi.
My battery loses abot 2-3% per hour in idle. Is it some software or hardware problem? Or Tegra 4 specific issue? (No Wi-Fi, apps closed etc)

Try to give it a cold boot.
Often that helps.

Yeah seems to be a common android problem, some apps have runaway processes, others prevent deep sleep and I have also seen kernels lock CPUs. Shame Google can't put some effort into fixing it.

It's not an Android or a Google problem, it's the fault of the developer of the App which is causing this...
Since 4.3 I lose 0 % over night and I can use the table 1 hour every day for reading magazines, e-mail and angry birds for at least 5 days! Just great

Google / Android should not let an app prevent deep sleep imo. Or runaway with resources. But yes you are right some responsibility has to be with the app developer for sloppy programming as well.

In some cases it could be useful or even wanted. Think of an emergency app with running bluetooth and GPS. You would not want Android to kill the app in the middle of your tour

Cold boot didn't help and no draining app seems to be running(. Is a hardware issue possible? Is there a way to check it?
Here's a screeshot from System Panel (results of this night's battery bleed)
P.S. The back of the device seems a bit warm when I touch it...

You can wathc under "settings" -> "energy management" -> "energy table" which app it is and you can prevent it to wake the device up and to keep the device alive.
A few weeks ago I had a similar but stronger akku draining problem with the google apps but its gone (a pitty that I can´t say what it was: me doing this things in the energy management or google updating its app).
My google play-services still wake the device 869 times in 3 days.

New results. Very strange. No power consuming app seems to be running, but I still got -3%/hour.

Battery statistics shows that 80% most power is consumed by the screen. But it the tablet was in sleep all the time, so the screen was off...

Check in Settings on "Energieverbrauchstabelle" (something like "engery consumption table") from Asus, there you can see the power consumption of the apps without Display. If you click on a specific app you can disable it to keep awake or wake tablet from deep sleep...
If that not helps you you should reset everything and go back to stock. Then you can check without installed additional apps if your "bleeding" still is there. Then install one app after another and wait between every single one to check which is the "bad app"...

So, in fact it was a hardware issue. I took another unit and it works perfectly. For now...
Anyway, thanks for your help, guys

With tablet off (deep sleep) I get 1 % battery loss in 12 hrs.
Best I have ever seen on an android device.

Yep, now I've got the same thing. 1% instead of 30%

With my N4 and now N5, I use better battery stats to find the culprit of battery drain. But you have to be rooted

go to settings and power consumption and it should say how many times it woke up the tablet or stopped it from sleeping

Battery life

My gear is supposed to be delivered today. I downloaded everything i need to root and customize it. I was wondering if there was anyway to use an app lie juice defender to improve battery life. If so, which app is preferred?

Turn off the wrist watch gesture and your fine. A normal use for me drains about 15-20% / 24h..

That's right ! Just turning off the wrist gesture to wake the gear the battery is consuming between 1 5 / 20 % a day / . Merry Christmas.

Yes. I have the motion activated... the trick is to turn the screen brightness all the way down. I get about 30% / 24hrs with the motion activated and the screen brightness down.

Thanks for the tip. I had motion deactivated to conserve battery but didn't like having to press the button each time to wake up the watch. 30% a day is not bad at all. I would even take 50%. Anything is better than the 24 hour time I've been seeing posted by reviewers. That worried me a bit. The good thing too is it charges fairly fast. So that 30% drain will be quick to recover.

My battery life with updated US firmware Null_16 and the Freefalling theme. This is 90% standby time I don't have much time to mess with it at work!
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Do you find that battery life on your connected phone suffers? I know keeping the BT radio on will have an impact, but I noticed I had to change some settings in JuiceDefender to allow the data connection to remain active so that S-Voice will work on the Gear. This, of course, means my phone's radio (data or wifi) is always on, when before I used to let JD turn it off while sleeping.
Haven't had the Gear long enough to tell whether or not this will have a serious impact but wondering if there are any tips? I tried finding a setting in JuiceDefender to only turn the radio on when the S-Voice is activated. Unfortunately, that doesn't work.

please help me.
after null_16 my battery life is short.
after 6 hour (only in watch mode without notify or other) my gear shut down.
could you give some tips for extend the battery life ?
thanks

If I turn off the motion wake feature my Gear will go three to four days easy but if I use motion it won't last longer than 12-14 hours. This is with moderate usage. I get probably a total of 30-40 emails and texts and other notifications a day and maybe 10 phone calls. (Most calls not answered on gear) maybe 3 a day. I would love to be able to use the watch without pushing the button. Even a tap on the screen to wake would be acceptable to me. The pebble uses a shake motion to wake which also is better than the Gear motion. I drive for a living and every turn of the steering wheel activates the screen. (Although battery life is not improved on days off.) if I side load apps will my battery life be severely shortened? And to the person who asked about the Bluetooth running all the time, it doesn't impact the battery life of my phone hardly at all.

12 Ways to Save Battery without Root and break 7hrs SoT

I put together a list of things that helped me get 7 hours SoT on a charge (Wifi). Edit: 6.75hrs SoT. Edit2: 7.75hrs SoT No root access or modifications needed for these.
This is my first Android device and I wanted to share some of the things I've learned mostly reading these forums. It also annoys me to read users complain about their battery life but are unwilling to do anything about it. I hope this will help people to realize the full potential of their phone.
Llama, Tasker, etc: Automate everything you can to save battery. It can be more efficient to run a line of code then to tap the screen.
Force stop all the programs you don't really need running in the background in Settings > Apps > Running. Basically act like your own Greenify. Or use Greenify.
Wakelocks: Track the "Awake Time" of suspicious applications and services and either reboot or force stop them if necessary.
Disable Google applications you don't need. Myself I disabled Chrome, Gmail and News & Weather.
Disable: touch and typing vibration. I have type sounds On and touch sounds Off because those really add up on speaker.
Disable: NFC, Bluetooth, Wireless printing etc. Automate to run only when needed for no lost functionality.
Wifi: Automate to turn on only for Wifi zones of your choice. No lost functionality. Wifi always scanning: Off.
Notifications: Apps and games can send you unnecessary notifications. Disable them. Enable only what you need.
Hotword detection: off. This specifically drains SoT and saves only a single screen tap.
Widgets: These drain battery without ever showing up individually on the stats page. Silent killers.
Lux: Another silent killer even when set "On Wake only" and "Slow". Just by disabling Lux lite and a once-daily updated Feedly widget I noticed significant SoT gains. Using Llama to automate brightness is more efficient.
Speaker vs Headphones: The speaker seems to use more battery.
Two apps that can help you monitor your battery and phone with no root requirement:
Play Store Link.
Current Widget - Set to update manually on your home screen for minimal power draw. Check your charge and discharge rates along with battery temperature.
Play Store Link.
S Tools+ - This just popped up in the XDA apps section the other day. Detailed information on CPU states, Deep Sleep time and ALL your sensors, nicely graphed and very polished including transparent nav bar. Other than real time graphing of sensors this shouldn't be much of a drain.

Speaker vs headphones....what?? Care to explain how? I'm saying the difference is negligible.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, you really don't need to do all that to save battery. Just don't turn on data until you need it and you'll get a week of standby on a single charge with this phone, and a full day of usage (or more depending on how much you use it).

Not sure if serious or not. That functionality is enabled on the phone by default and you'll see many people struggling to get over 3 hours SoT like that.
There are even reviews which seem to think topping 3 hours SoT is some kind of miracle. Most will answer that by saying: "you need root and flash x ROM with y kernel".

I suspected Lux was using battery but the actual app use is showing up as very very minimal. Less than 1%.
Its far too convenient! Does llama have the same exact function built in?

Gotta agree. The vast majority of users charge overnight and with my own setup - currently on stock rom and stock kernel (though I'm currently bouncing between that and Franco to see which I prefer) with pretty much everything always on (NFC, WiFi, data, location access, though I disable notifications from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, etc. just because I'm not that invested in social networks that I'd want constant updates) I can get 3+ hours SOT - which I'd assume is more than enough for most people. Greenify is to thank for most of my battery savings.
But don't get me wrong - for those who do need more SOT than that, the OP is fantastic advice, and I'll be coming back to this thread when I'm on holiday etc. and won't be able to charge every night.

great tips
kuddos to the OP

don't mind the haters. they're just mad that they only get 3 hours of screen on time and 10% battery drain per hour when deep sleeping
they would rather complain than take control of their device and if you dont use your own phone exactly like they use their phone, then they call foul and tell you that your results don't matter. they say the same thing to people that use their device like an ipod touch(by putting it in airplane mode).

I think it's just really hard to get good auto brightness on this phone right now due to the sensor. Using Lux Lite didn't help me very much since I was bouncing between very low and extremely high brightness but I imagine the full version could be more useful.
Llama is an extremely light weight application and uses only 6MB of RAM, the lowest of any service I've seen. I think it could add to Android System drain but using Cell Tower locations and properly set up conditions I don't think it will by much.
Thanks for the supportive comments. I really just want to help and have no hidden agenda here. We've known for months now that the N5 can get 8.9 hours SoT web browsing on WiFi and 6.9 hours web browsing on LTE. Of course Anandtech used perfect, non-root conditions with airplane mode On, Gnow off and zero apps or widgets; something that even I am unwilling to put up with. We can still strive to get as close to those numbers as possible.

Generally speaking SOT depends on what you are doing.
I've been down this road and can get SOT times on any phone pushing 5 hours.
To say no loss of functionality is wrong. You state to kill half the apps that I use so that is a LOF to me.
The secret, well not really, is the brightness and network reception.
Turning down the brightness and getting max signal/bandwidth will affect the battery more than turning off apps. Remember the rule of thumb the longer the phone has to stay on for a wakelock the more the battery drains and that is SOT and sleep. What I mean is you'll drain your battery faster connected to a dialup internet connection than fiber at 1gig.... It's all about bandwidth and high signal strength and screen brightness.
Not hating just saying that no one person can say this will give you X number of hours of SOT when everyone's signal/bandwidth environment is different.

T700 Tab S Standby Time!

My Tablet lasts 2 days before its totally dead with ZERO USE!
Updated to 5.0.2 as i hoped this would fix it. No change
Lost 10% battery while in power saver mode in a few hours!
Lags all over the place when scrolling, the play store is horrible when scrolling apps.
Right now my S6 has better standby on 4G and more life in use than my tablet has with no use!
Any ideas?

Can't speak for Lollipop, since staying with 4.4.2 and disabled auto updates. I only lose 2% in ten hours and the best Android tablet I have owned- especially in regards to low sleep bleed.

clearly something is not right have you factory reset it? That would be the first thing to make sure no apps are doing anything weird.

I flashed a whole new OS... should i wipe it?

You need to install a wake-lock checker, it will show how much time your tablet is actually in deep sleep mode, which uses the least amount of power, mine shows 97% time in deep sleep.
Some application can keep you tablet from going to sleep, alarm clock and sync can also, and apps/software you downloaded.
Do you get still get major battery drain after a reset, dont install any software/apps and the charge to 100% and then leve it for a few hours and then check how much power you have lost.
John.

Over an 8 hour period (avg) with wifi on, my screen brightness set to 10-20 range (that is the brightness I prefer on my tab s), and with greenify I lose maybe 1-2% battery. You definitely have some program or service constantly running or waking up your tablet, and due to the interactive governor that samsung uses your tablet wakes up at 1.9GHz each time to be more responsive/save battery by handling what ever is needed as fast as possible so it can sleep again. Unfortunatly if some app keeps going "hey, hey, I am here, I need you tablet, hey, hey, ect........." that battery saving governor will murder your battery.

So i wiped and its still 48 hour batter!

Do you need to have your wifi and sync on for business or something, if not turn them off, of use an app to to mange them like the free juice defender ect.
Just install it, make sure it is enabled and then make sure the icon is on your taskbar so it has not been killed, and them forget about it for a week and see how it goes.

for some reason on this tablet, wifi murders battery in standby. if you turn it off it lasts much better... but this tablet and this tablet only, leaving wifi on kills it horribly. but problem is, when you wake it for teh first time in hours and wifi activates, all of a sudden everything syncs and it's so damn laggy those first few minutes of use. it sucks. only this tablet. never had this issue with my nexus 7. that thing gave me 7 days stand-by time.

Try putting your tablet in airplane more overnight and see how much power it consumes. I lose 3% over 8 hours when I put it on airplane mode and disable wifi.

Im sorry but this is BS.
Its clearly faulty. its going to samsung. i demand a refund.

How much power wifi uses depends on the distance to the router and how much interference it has to try and break though to get a good connection which means using more power, that is why wifi uses more battery power on some peoples tablets than others do.
John.

disregard.. just realized my screen shots were messed up. I'll post my standby time tomorrow.

Here is a very simple stock no root mini guide to getting 1-5% loss over an 8-10 hour period while sleeping or at least while the tablet is asleep.
1. Install greenify even if you are not rooted and even if you do that have the donor package there are many many apps that do not like to sleep, greenify will fix that for you.
2. Unless you are a Doctor, CEO, or someone whose very life hangs on getting the latest cute cat post while you are asleep try to adjust your sync times from under an hour to as high as you can. (If you are turning off wifi then it might still matter if the app wakes up your device just to see it can't sync)
3. Samsung has given you a very nice QHD screen. It is high resolution, Amoled, and other nice rhings but while you sleep you can not see it so turn the brightness down before you touch the power button to 5-15. If you wake up in a dark room and need to use your tablet that level of brightness is far kinder to your eyes and even kinder to your battery.
Just doing this generally kept my battery usage down to only 2-4% per night, of course then I rooted my tablet and installed TW detox 3.0 and now it is closer to 1-2% per night. Try any or all of these and I hope it works out.

losing 48% per day... screen brightness wont help will it when screen is off all day

Screen brightness is for those times that an app wakes up the tablet and turns on the screen to tell you something (new email, facebook wall post, new cat video, ect....) and yes it helps.
If you are losing 48% a day then you have some app doing something that is keeping your tablet awake for a good portion of the day. Or you have a defective battery/tablet. I can surf the web for a good portion of the day and maybe lose 48%.

Are you rooted. It's sounds like you have some wakelocks? If rooted you should use greenify and a wakelock alarm to fix the problem.

i'm curious to see what apps and how many you have installed. Can you post screen shots of your app drawer?

Note 5 bad battery life gsam?

Hey guys , i am using this phone for the last one week and so far i am not impressed with its battery life.its almost similar to my xperia z1.
I lost over 24% battery in the past 2 hours just listening to music and surfing a bit.
Please have a look at my gsam screenshot and tell me if something is wrong.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thank you.

Friend, take sshot from you apps usage and screen. Add sshot from stock battery manager too.

Thanks for your interest in my post.
I have attached the necessary screenshots.
I was having 3-3.5 hours of sot with my 2 years old xperia z1 and almost same with my note5 .
Not happy at all.
Today i left my phone at 41% went to lunch and returned after 90 mins and found battery left is 30% doing absolutely nothing.
Just taking the sshots and posting it here used 4% battery!!!!
Is something wrong?

11pm to 7pm off charge....looks fine to me!
I come off charge at 6am and it generally lasts to 8/9pm without a mid day charge.
Your screen is a big hog. Is brightness set too high constantly?
I don't play games but you clearly do - clash of clans....again another drain.
Big screen = big battery usage!
I've resorted to plugging mine in while I'm sat at my desk for a few mins here and there.
MM is poor though. The deep sleep / doze seems to work randomly.

Yeah i get your point
Brightness is about40% and i do play coc frequently
But my concern is suddenbattery drain. 11 % drain during lunch doing nothing and now 3% drain just opening xda and replying to your comment
Is that normal?
Also screen awake is almost 2 hours doesnt seem like doze is working

Check any apps you've recently installed....or start in safe mode and see if the problem continues.
Clear cache....
I've set up a greenify process - when I tap the home key on the home screen it puts it into deep sleep. I don't think MM doze works very reliably. Also my screen is at about 20%. Can easily whack it up when you go outside temporarily.

Its funny how you and i used to own a z1 lol what a coincident. Anyways i think i commented about your battery life before. Regarding to the amplify im mot sure if op has root. I suggest you not to root if you want to exchange it saying its a defective battery.if not then go for it root it and see if it will change your battery stats. Pretty normal things to do is factory reset , boot in safe mode, maybe reflash firmware through odin and check any mysterious apps draining battery. Also maybe try greenify non root way for afressive doze. It shortens the time needed before going into doze mode. Im currently testing it right now.
