Battery drain issue - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hello everybody, first please apologize me for my bad english.
I've my S3 since one year and a drain of my battery appears randomly.
I've noticed this problem with all my batteries : i used official 2100mah and 3000mah from Samsung but the issue is the same.
I've tried a lot of custom roms (cyanogenmod, stock, amcha, ...) in 4.1.2 or 4.3 and stock, agni and boeffla kernel and the problem is still there.
This night, i've put my phone on flight mode, there was no wacklocks, i'm on stock rom in 4.3 and as you can see in the screenshoot, device idle and android os were draining battery very hard.
What's your opinion about that ?
Thanks for helping me

Hi,
Are you sure there is no wakelock ? Did you use an app like BetterBatteryStats (or others) to check this ? You should try to reproduce with this kind of apps installed and then post screenshots of BetterBatteryStats (for instance) for each type of stats (Other, kernel WL, Partial WL, Alarms, Network ,etc.)
By the way, I advise you to post screenshots in english if you want to be understood by everyone.

I had drastic battery draining issues when i installed 4.3 update (from 4.1.2)
It was draining 40% of battery overnight even on flight mode.
Then i flashed 4.4.4 stock rom and its working perfectly ok now.
Only 2% of battery is reduced overnight on flight mode
Here is the link to 4.4.4 rom

Yes, before, with 4.3.x, I had the famous random mdm_hsic_pm0 stuck wakelock issue that was draining my battery.
Now, I'm also on 4.4.4 and no problem so far.

I'm now testing stock 4.4.4 and i haven't this issue yet.
Hope it will continue...
Thanks for your help :good:

[Q] Official JB 4.1.2 Firmware

Hi,
Many countries ROM are now available on SAM Mobile.
Can anyone suggest which one is best on battery and performance.
I tried GERMANY firmware and it ain't good. It hangs a lot and battery is very poor.
Currently using SER , Russia firmware and it also not stable. It is slow and battery is again an issue.
Please advice which one should i flash in order to have best battery and performance ?
Regards,
Kaps
You'll ge the most support for the German one: XXLSZ
They will all have the same battery life and performance one you remove the bloat that comes with it. Make sure you do a factory reset before flashing JB (on condition that you are on a safe kernel, if you are not then flash a safe kernel like Philz first).
I did flash Germany version thinking the same, but found it a little sluggish.
Also my phone starting rebooting on its own.
yesterday i have flashed UAE version and so far it is good. It is fast and smooth.
Battery :
I charged to 100% today 6:00 AM
With moderate use and data always on, smart stay, and full brightness, it is currently at 80% (current time is 12:02)
I think it would provide good battery results. Will keep you posted.

Battery drain!

Hello,
V20a rooted + iodak v6 -> battery drain
I've tried first stable CM 10.1 -> Sometimes i lose network and need to restart
So i'm seeking for the less buggy rom for my phone, less battery drain any proposal? Rom must integrate French langage
Huge thanks for help
What's your battery drain? Some screen shots to see what’s draining?'
See attached screenshot.
Thanks
I can't see the battery graph, so i'm not sure if you charged it, but
27 hrs uptime and down only by 33%....How is that bad?
Here is the graph.
Thanks
Try MIUI...

I also faced same problem before, tried different kernels, Cyanogen Mods but nothing helped then I tried MIUI which is the best ROM so far. Very battery friendly. You can download ROM from here - http://www.miui.com/getrom.php, LG Optimus 4XHD is listed as LG P880. It comes without Gapps so you have to install each app manually (as I did). For play store install it as system app or you can not download app from play store from browser. ROM comes with 3 languages English, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional). You may find other language patch here (I hope) - http://xiaomi.eu/community/categories/miui-multi-language-project.81/
there's miui gapps, no need to install th e packages manually....
anyhow even if ou recharged a bit the drain doesn't seem so bad..
Ideal consumption in this phone is about 1%/hr when idle, check if your consumption matches that
Also you can install better battery stats from android apps and check in detail what's draining your power

Need some suggestion.

Hello Xda
Recently i have got Xperia z1 and it's really amzing and fast for me but there are some few question and problems i cant find solution.
1. My current android version is 4.3 i was thinking for lolipop and after searching i have found that Lolipop is a pathetic release for Z1, so i want to know that should i stay on 4.3 or downgrade to 4.2.2 or can i upgrade to kitkat ?? is it stable or worth upgrading.
2. When i turn on or off O2 logo came on my screen and some o2 apps installed. Well in my country if there is any kind of logo in mobile firmware its value decrease peoples think its a fake so is there any chance or way to remove this ? I'm familiar with rooting and have done a lot of on Nexus, Xperia P, S, Galaxy 1-2 etc etc.
Thanks in advance.
bump! still no reply
for the z1 there is both kitkat and lollipop update. I'd say update it, i like the update. If you're not really sure then first find the ftf file of the 4.3 version in case you'll want to downgrade back
is lolipop stable ??? as i visited a lot of thread and peoples are complaining about battery drain heatup issue and some features not working like xLoud xReality etc etc

If you want better battery life and dont care about the new Lollipop I suggest you update to 4.4.4 and stick with it until some "major updates" solve the heating issue and battery drain and slow charging of the lollipop version cause its really annoying, at least for me because i'm using my phone almost 7,8 hours a day using 3G,wifi,music player,and calling and Lollipop simply doesnt work for me because I have to constantly put my phone on charge, I mean its ridiculous when my phone discharge faster than its charge!
But on kitkat its almost on peak of the performance (considering the battery life)
You may update to 5 if youre not heavily using the phone but otherwise at present,the best choice is 4.4.4 (btw I'm using iHackers 6.2 with trinity kernel)
For second part you may flash any unbranded ftf rom so there is no more carrier logo

No I didn't try any prerooted rom just flashed stock ftf
Some guya suggest using phone for 2,3 days will improve battery life
I use it for 1 week even without root (pure stock) and no improve so far! So tail between legs I came back to KK!!
I can confirm that battery leak is only in "screen on"
Funny part is that stock LP use same battery as CM12 and for me there is no reason to choose stock over CM so I just got back to my previous combination!! using iHackers 6.2 alongside CM12 (Multirom)
Btw thanks fo reply bro

Knox 0x0 STOCK Battery Drain!? From Google Services...

The title says it all... I initially had a rooted Note 5 on a custom rom, and when I had gone back to stock rom I faced deep sleep issues because of knox 0x1 (warranty void). I had gone back to my retailer and they understood my issue and exchanged my phone. Me liking to be on the latest firmware package released by Samsung I downloaded the latest for my N920I and flashed it (with factory reset). Both before and after flashing the battery life has been terrible. Even on standby... Anyone else facing this issue?
Thanks guys. :good:

Yeah, I have NO idea what's going on!? Do you reckon I should downgrade and it would fix? Its a massive nuisance. I'm running "N920IDVU2AOL2". Have you downgraded to see if it fixes battery life issue?

Note 5 deep sleep issue on lolipop?

Hello. A couple of days ago I rooted my note 5 on marshmallow and my knox is tripped know. I flashed stock rom after some days but now battery drains very fast when the screen is off and android OS drains most of the battery. (I know that deep sleep issue causes this). Anyway, I wanted to know will I see deep sleep issue again if I flash the first version (build) of stock lollipop or this just happens on marshmallow? (Sorry if English speaking is bad). Thank you
