[Q] Odd Battery Issues (Instant Discharge!)

Hello All,
I'll start with the specs:
Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (Vibrant)
DarkyROM JVQ v10.2.2
Baseband Version: I9000UGKG3
Firmware: 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ-CL281085 [email protected] #DarkCore_2.9.2_JVQ
Issue:
Extreme battery discharge. Most noticable when using the Facebook app. After charging for 12 hours (battery life at 99% - 100%), I will load the FaceBook app and browse around for about 10 minutes. After about 5-10 minutes, the phone will shut off, upon rebooting the battery display will be at 0-5% (down from 100% in 5-10 minutes). Here is where is gets weird....The battery will then begin (if not using the facebook app) to slowly climb back up throughout the day to about 75-80% than slowly discharge again. Loading the facebook app will kill it almost instantly. Phone will pretty much last the entire day if not using it. It seems that it is falsly reporting the battery life.
Things tried:
-Discharge completely, wipe battery stats, recharge to 100%
-Wipe Cache
-Wipe Delvic Cache
Has anyone had this issue before? Right now, it appears that the facebook app is the only one that will instantly kill the battery.....Please let me know if you require more information. As far as About>battery usage, all appears normal.

VM settings? not sure I know what you mean.....I haven't tried a different rom as of yet due to lack of FULL support for TORQUE which I use in the car consistantly. However, I had never had a problem with this rom and have been running it since the day it came out. This issue started last week, no new software, mods etc.

Possible battery problem. I experienced this fast discharging too and sudden shutdown of phone. But when i changed my batt, it came back to normal.

could be a bad battery ?
open your device and check the battery top for change of colour

hey, checked the battery for change in color, the tag is still white, no color change at all. Battery is fairly new, always worked well. It is a Samsung Galaxy S2 battery that I had received at the beginning of the year through work (I have the Galaxy S, the S2 battery has the slightly higher 1800mah, but is generally the same battery). It has always worked excellent up until last week, the facebook app seems to be the only app that kills it in less than 2 minutes. I had checked it's health with the battery calibrator app from google play and it states it is in good shape, however I'm not sure that would be accurate. Any other ideas? I believe I will be upgrading to the Note 2 next month, but still plan on using this phone for GPS/Torque....thanks to all, this forum has always been great!

I have tried another round of battery reset processes, no luck. The phone is fine as long as I do not use the facebook app, or any app that accesses facebook. Youtube, internet and everything of that nature does not kill the phone. I'm thinking this may not be a battery issue..

[Q] Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 Battery drain (Even in Airplane mode)

Hello,
I've searched the forums about battery drain problems regarding android phones in airplane mode but each subjects seemed different to mine.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 under Android 4.3.
The phone is rooted, Greenify installed, hoping saving battery life but...
I've tried to do a full data reset + reinstallation of Android 4.3 official, with no success.
I've done the folowing experience 3 times with the following similar behaviour as last time :
- Phone fully charged before to go to bed, Airplane mode activated.
7 hours later :
- Battery is at 80%
- 0 minute in deep sleep, all the time in awake state.
Several behaviours noted by Wakelock detector and Gsam Battery Monitor :
- Device Idle and androidOS consumed 80% of the 20% used
- Misc processes seem to have used a lot of battery among them :
- AlarmManager
- PowerManagerService.WakeLocks
- KeyEvents
I'm including screenshots to illustrate all this.
If anyone has been thru this problem I'd be glad to know how to solve it.
Thank you !

Hi,
I do not have the exact same problem, but my phone drains battery more than often. With wifi, mobile data etc turned off, i have ~10% of drain overnight (7~8 hours). But my phone does enter in deep sleep and battery stats shows me nothing weird (most of battery is being taken from phone iddle /standby cell), it is driving me nuts! My wife have the same phone as mine, same firmware, same system apps, the only diference is mine have the new bootloader, but her phone drains almost half than mine. I'm now reinstalling the firmware with the exact same steps i did in her phone and if someone want i post some screenshots later.
Did you tried installing some custom roms out here who have not all the system apps the original package have?

I am using 4.3 Alliance Rom with boeffla kernel. I had the same problem with battery drain during airplane mode. While I was at work with airplane mode on, I lost nearly 20% in one hour. Because of it I switched to 4.4.2 aosp rom "aosb 1.3.0. Probam" (meanwhile there is 1.3.2 published) but there I had music stuttering and camera issues, but perfect battery life. Because of the problems I decided to go back to 4.3 and gave Alliance Rom another chance. And now the battery life is wonderful like on 4.4.2.
Maybe try the same way, first to update on an aosp rom with excellent battery life and then go back to android 4.3. Maybe this will solve your problem, too.

Hi,
By any chance, do you have XPOSED framework enabled and do you use for example Wanam Xposed module ? If an option like "Turn on screen when unplugged" is unchecked (ie if you don't want your phone to wake up after you unplug it from USB), you may encounter battery drain. It seems that sometimes the phone doesn't enter in deep sleep if the USB cable is unplugged from a PC in this case. I have this kind of battery drain and since I've checked "Turn on screen when unplugged" option, no more battery drain after a reboot.
I'm not sure but you must give it a try as it worked for me. No problem so far.... I hope it will help.

Hi and thank you all,
I'm taking good note of your advices.
I did install Xposed and Wanam. I didn't pay attention to this option and since then completly reinstalled 4.3 official ROM. Battery drain vanished.
I now have the phone going to deep sleep normaly.
I've been reinstalling all my apps slowly one after the other, and didn't try yet to reinstall Wanam Xposed, as I know it modifies the system relatively deeply.
But the envy is here and I think I'll install it again. Ok, let's go, I'll do it tonight. I'll pay attention to "Turn on screen when unplugged" option and will ensure it is checked !
It's worth trying, though all these battery draining problems seem mysterious...
I'll post a reply in a few days with the results...
By the way, I installed Agni kernel wich uses Boeffla engine too. After activating "Extreme battery save" mode, the battery life has doubled or so. I'm happy about this.
Thank you again, and let's see how xposed wanam behaves...

GREAT.

Unusual battery drain

Hi,
I know there are many topics on the subject but I didn't find any solution to my problem.
So, since a couple weeks, about when I moved from Europe to the US, my phone drains significantly more battery than before. This has apparently nothing to do with screen brightness, wifi or cell data, since it occurs even in airplane mode during the night. I used to lose about 1-2% during a night, but now it's at least 15%.
You can find a couple screenshots from BetterBatteryStats there (sorry for broken link, it does not work otherwise): n.ethz.ch/~bauera/uploads/Screenshots/
So as I noticed, there are a couple wakelocks but nothing that could explain this large drain. Any idea what could be the reason and how to fix it?
FYI I am using the stock rom 23.4.A.1.232 with Android 5.1.1. Phone model is D5803. The OS was rooted directly when I got the phone in October 2015 and as I said, I did not have any battery problems until recently.
Thanks for your help!
Alex

that's the lollipop battery drain bug on mobile radio, marshmallow should have fix this

Thank you for your reply. However are you sure of that? The bug you are mentioning is apparently linked with mobile data, which I haven't even turned on since a couple reboots at least. Moreover, the battery stats for the night (from the built-in battery menu) show that the mobile network was fully off during that time (airplane mode).

I found this fix worked for me

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately it didn't work in my case, I still lose about 2%/h in airplane mode and screen off.

BBS - Better Battery Stats is your freind. There's also lots of tips in the thread on how to limit most of the common wakelocks.
There are several services in the new Play Services that are keeping your phone awake. With the introduction of wearable bluetooth there are new fitness services that are looking for your wearable devices constantly, disable them and your battery gets better. Obviously if you use fitness bands/trackers then this fix is not for you.
If you have a rooted phone download Disableservice from the playstore, it's a lot easier to use than Xprivacy and you don't need to install Xposed.
Once it's installed, open the system tab, open Google Play Services, then untick (disable) the following:
ConfigFetchService
FitnessSyncAdapterService
GoogleLocationManagerService
GoogleLocationService
NetworkLocationService
ProximitySettingInjectorService
UserPresenceService
WearableControlService
WearableService
WearableSyncService
then reboot your phone.
Disabling these from running should have no impact on your phone, it doesn't for me, and will give you 10-15% more battery life.

Solved Battery drain for Me
I was also suffering from the same battery drain issue, but after doing a lot of research on this forum, few tricks mentioned here worked for me.
It had been 6 days I bought the phone, so was very disappointed by battery life, did upgrade from PC to Lollipop, but still the problem persisted and even worse. So I decided to go back to Kitkat and followed steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-c...d5833-t2906706
After downgrade the battery got somewhat better not satisfactory, so I followed the trick of complete drain upto 0% and charge to 100% (switchded off) after reading posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-c...5#post59797105 by Sydr08 #182
and cache clearing trick after 0% to 100% charge http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-c...harge-t3207737
After doing 100% charge I turned ON with vol+ pressed but phone did not respond (I guessed that it didn't worked, so switched ON normally) but after booting I found few settings to be reset so I guess it worked
So finally this trick seems to work for me, now the drain has slowed down to a lot extent. I have used phone regularly (calls, games, whatsapp, Music etc), the battery has dropped to 76% in around 8 hrs ( without stamina mode ) just expecting it to last for two days, and more than that with satmina mode.
Firmware: .77 (India)
Model: D5833

Hi Aakm,
As you said, the tricks mentioned so far on this thread were not really effective, at least for me as well. I could live with that 25-30% left at the end of the day (it is still much better than my old Samsung GS2), but I would be glad to be back to the 2-3 days of moderate use as I had during my first months of ownership.
So I'll try this out over the next days and hopefully it will work, thanks for suggesting! It sounds a bit like magic to me but let's give it a try
Best regards,
Alex

Unfortunately the full drain+charge did not change anything for me. I did not try to downgrade to Kitkat but as I've had good battery on Lollipop for several months, I doubt it would help.
Anyway thanks for your help, but I guess I'll simply wait until Android M comes out and take the opportunity for a full factory reset, hoping it will solve the issue.

Please guys mark the star on the bug report, the more people agree, higher will be the chance that google decide that it's time to fix it

Note 5 SM-N920I battery drain issue, Nougat 7.0

hello,
just updated my note 5 to nougat 7.0.
realised there is a significant battery drain.
during my 9 hr of sleep, battery level dropped from 90% to 70% with mobile data off, GPS off, Bluetooth off, NFC off, sync off, google location service off.
I tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, didn't work.
I tried resetting app preferences, didn't work.
kernel and android system takes up most of the battery

1)Your probably facing deep sleep issue but AFAIK deep sleep is already fixed there in official nougat 7.0 by sammy, Primary solution you can try is to factory reset your device If not helps
THEN
2)Either wait for next official OTA release for your device Or Try any custom pre-rooted rom with Deep-Sleep Fixed on side of kernel

I have the same problem as you. My battery drain is horrible. I get maybe four or five hours before I have to plug it back in. When I have my Note 7 I could take it off the charger at 7 in the morning and at 10 at night when I got home I still had about 70% battery. I sent mine back for the recall about 4 months ago still haven't got my money back from Samsung. As I wait for that check I bought another Note 5 and flashed the Note 7 ROMs the S8 plus ROMs and every other ROM and this phone just has the worst battery life especially after using the Note 7. The best thing to do is find a light type ROM with a lot of bloatware uninstalled and run Greenify

You know I just bought a Galaxy Note 5. AWESOME price. And was made Feb 2017.. wow. I did by one a week before that. It was N920a. Made 2015. WOW was it slow. And still on Android would never update. So sent it back.. got this on N920I and was on 6. I never read anything about battery problems. And it updated to 7 RIGHT away. Loved it. I tried 2 programs ..had to do with themes. WOW the battery drained SO fast. NOTHING was running. So I deleted what I put on. Those two.. and over night only lost 3%. I cant speak for "ROMS". I ALWAYS root and put on some ROM. But this time.. I am going to wait. Right NOW is AWESOME.
Trust me.. had a Google Pixel... duh had to give it to kid that moved.. to get a job at Microsoft.. YES. So all I was using was ZUK Z2..which had a AWESOME battery.. only go down 1%. Oh.. but the camera.. when I use the Note 5....WOW..
So..there are THINGS programs we ALL love to stick on.. SOME can be.. as in my case be the problem. Theres just no way those two programs in my eyes could effect the battery. But reset over and over.. putting them on then not.. They were the problem.

Galaxy note 5 battery issue (plus a few others)

I got a galaxy note 5 as a hand me down from my father last year. I had the battery replaced as the original one was at its limit. The replacement was done at the official Samsung service center. My phone (SM920C) is rooted, using the stock rom and has TWRP recovery installed. I will now list the issues I'm currently facing.
-> Idle drain is too high. 3.5% per hour on average, even on battery saver. The device does enter deep sleep.
-> Battery keeps draining while plugged in unless I remove the adapter and plug it in again.
-> TWRP recovery and the main UI show different battery percentages.
-> Battery doesn't charge while in TWRP recovery mode.
-> At points, the phone becomes unresponsive and reboots.
-> The phone also feels really laggy.
-> Also heats up.
I have tried multiple solutions. I tried installing greenify, turned off location, turned off sync, turned off google location history, did a factory reset, installed the rom again, removed root, rooted again, reduced brightness, changed resolution, switched to airplane mode and what not. I have tried everything, but nothing worked. Any and all help will be appreciated.
Since I have less than 10 posts, I cannot post the link to the screenshot.

In addition to what you have already done with settings, I've installed a different ROM from stock. I'm using the N-Fuel-XL3-Final-Stable ROM along with the Fuel kernel (I have the T-Mobile version). Lastly, I installed Naptime from the Play store. Idle drain is very minor and the phone lasts quite a while.

The N-Fuel-XL3 rom is just a debloated version of the stock Note 5 rom? Does it retain all the S-Pen features? Also is S Health and camera working? I did see the thread and the previews for that rom but just wanted to confirm from a user.

Yes, it is a very debloated version of the stock ROM. However, camera works and all Spen features are included. The add-on zip that you flash after flashing the ROM allows you to install Samsung apps. S-Health may be an option, but I can't remember because I don't use it. The ROM is very stable and very fast. If your phone version can accept the fuel kernel (same developer, but different XDA thread), it makes the phone and battery perform even better. These along with Naptime should resolve all of your battery drain issues and help the phone deep sleep.
