[Q] Battery problems out of nowhere

Hey guys,
I sold my Ace to a guy from a city next to me, and on the first day he said that the battery was worn out, that he wasn't getting juice for even 2 hours.
I looked up for a light ROM, and I found the Stocklite (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703094&highlight=stocklite).
Sent him the procedures (wipe, flash, reboot) and then he said it didn't solve the problem, and sent me these screenshots that are attached. He said they were taken after a full night charge.
Question is, what could be causing the battery to drain so fast, since it was fine with me (8h~12h) with AOKP JB on the day before?
From the screenshots, it seems that it's sleeping well, and it actually does look like the battery is worn out.

It seems that he is using a lot of 3G. Using 3G in areas of low network coverage or places where signal is weak can lead to massive battery drain.

Also make sure that he hasnt overclocked the processor.

Thanks for the tips!
I can't tell the guy not to use 3G. And I think it's not overclocked, since he used it after a fresh install of Stocklite ROM. But do you think that those 2 reasons could decrease the battery life to 2 hours?

Personal experience. Things like auto-sync might be activated. Also make sure he is sending you an actual screenshot. Loads of 'em are available on the internet. Take the phone from him if still complains. Let the battery discharge completely, then charge it. Use it for a day and show him the battery graph.

And look at the second screenie. He installed bucketloads of apps. Some app containing a malware might be eating battery. Tell him to install an antivirus like Avast.

Thanks man!
About auto-sync, I don't think that's the problem. See how the idle is consuming nearly no juice? About the screenshot being trustable, well, there is not much I can do, the guy is 400km from me, I have to believe him. About a possible malware, he said he got the package in his town and turned the phone on right away, which means that he used it just like I did before I packed it. Could be some kind of damage to the battery on the way to his town. Or, could be a lie. Couldn't tell. Fact is, a battery does not wear out from one day to the other.
EDIT: He suggested me to flash a stock ROM. Ok, he's able to work for it, I guess he's not faking after all. And this could do the trick. Now I have to learn how to flash a stock ROM through Odin, since I have never done it before
EDIT: He's now saying that the battery looks a little swollen. Which means that it's really time to change. Could be some damage due to the shipping. I doubt that, though.

Tell that guy to send you a picture of the swollen battery

There are lot of apps available on Google Play which contain malwares. Google doesnt scan the apps. He installed a lot of apps (can be seen in the second screenshot). Some fake app might be causing the trouble. There can be many reasons.

i faced similiar problem...
make sure battery is 100% charged...
do battery calibration

[Q] My phone just died?

Last night I was just browsing and the phone froze up and I had to pull the battery. This usually happens 3 times a day and it's just fine. But last night it just died. It still won't charge or turn on. Can anybody help? At this point i'm thinking about just getting a Nexus.

Oh I hate to hear this as you are a regular around here lately. Sounds to me like you OCd too much and fried your phone. I say that because of the many battery pulls you had to do all the time which is a symptom of OCing too high. Am I right on this or were you using a stock kernel?

Wow sounds like you had a bad phone then. Any chance you are still under warranty? If not well then if you can move on to something like the Nexus I would.

Ok, If you plug your phone into your PC you will probably see it recognized as a strange device, basically you have hard-bricked your phone and unless you have access to JTAG for your exhibit II and the ability to use it you are probably boned, It's rare for this to happen but it is the same kind of issue that occurs when pulling a battery during an OTA update.
Congrats, you won the Lotto.
Call T-mobile, tell them the phone won't turn on, don't resist and they will ask for your IMEI and all the related account info, you will be asked to ship your phone to them for a free replacement If you qualified under warranty still.

Yeah I feel your pain. It has been a one year war to get this thing to perform without freezing, rebooting and so on. It's fine if you use a GB ROM like RR or CM7 but I've gotten to rely on Google Now and don't want to give it up. Trying CM10.1 with PBE kernel for a few days. It froze up a bit today but I think much of the problem lies with Superuser which seems to be slow as Christmas at granting super permissions after booting. After switching to SuperSu, OCing to 1612 max (ondemand) with SIO things are running nice. SO FAR!!! Use to think SuperSu sucked but I'm starting to find out the truth.
This is kind of a last ditch effort. I have someone who's willing to buy it and if they decide to, that's all the excuse I need to get another phone. I don't think I'll get the Nexus though due to the fact it does not have expandable memory from what I can tell and even 16gb is not enough for me as I have a lot of music stored on my card.

Actually the Nexus 4 is perfect for me. I uploaded my music, picture, and video collection to Google. I keep like 1-2 high end games on my phone (most are on my Nexus 7). I'll be ordering the 8GB soon.

This phone was designed to work on gb, period.With all due respect to all the devs work how bout improving on GB ?

Why try to improve an outdated os? Just because a phone was shipped with or never updated past gb doesn't mean it was only meant to run that os

BTW nobody has done this
Besides RR ofcourse which is also a nice ROM. An do believe Exquizit (sp) but recall there was a security problem? Not counting Peach in this simply cause as i believe Jocala put it "debloated stock".
Any how just wondering how fast and smooth GB could be with the right dev on the job.

I had that same effect after the update to 4.3. It was solved by just uncheck the box at Settings/Location/Google-Apps... so GPS for Google apps off.

Facebook Messenger battery drain

I've been having battery drain for a while I do recall not having that bad battery use when I first got the phone one app that I did recently install was Facebook messenger. I did notice before I did remove it today that it was my biggest battery drainer at the top of the list. My battery drained just by playing music to 80sh percent after one hour or less. After I removed it I'm getting low to mid 90℅ during the same time. Big difference. Just trying to help those who are having bad battery life with the phone.

I uninstalled all of the facebook apps. I get 6 hours sot without them, about 20 percent more.

i removed facebook from all my devices 4 years ago, as facebook was draining my battery about 20%, and i wasnt even ever using it. now i use facebook in the browser only, and couldnt be happier.

I have noticed this in the last few days as well! So did my other friend with a Nexus 6. Weird. I am uninstalling until a fix comes out.

Yeah, messenger and facebook apps drain battery a lot and also eat RAM much. If you still want to use them, just greenify them Saves RAM and battery and no background process

Facebook Messenger is known to use a lot of battery life. I prefer using the mobile webpage via Chrome, it's much better than the app itself.

After a few days without messenger its been a big difference in battery life. I do have CleanRom as well on T-Mobile. Just removed it on my nexus 7 today. Same ROM.

Thanks for the input. This goes to everyone as well. I uninstalled the messenger app and am thinking about uninstalling the main facebook app just to see what happens.
Question, what root method did you guys use?
The wugfresh one click? I read that it was mostly stable, but sometimes you had to re run it. I am using a Mac.

Always do it the manual way and not a toolkit. Toolkits are great to having the job done but you don't learn anything while doing so. The manual way is super easy as well, even easier than a toolkit.
Especially on a Mac since you won't have to download drivers. There's a stickied post in n6 general with a step by step guide.

This sticky, right? So the chainfire rooting process is still a script, though, right?

I noticed the battery drain issue with Messenger, as well. My battery dropped to below 70% in about 4 hours and noticed Messenger was the biggest drain. I hadn't even been using Messenger. Uninstalled the app and battery was back to normal.

Battery DRAIN not battery usage
Hey guys. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this thread is about Facebook Messenger really DRAINING the battery, not just the app's (intended) high battery consumption. I've had these issues as well over the past couple of days. My battery would run out within a matter of 8-9 hours, where I usually get 30 hours+ out of my OnePlus One - and that was even though I was barely using Messenger.
I attached 2 screenshots showing the issue.
As a temporary fix I had uninstalled Messenger and that seemed to do the trick. My phone had used up only 20% battery within 8 hours ago (compared to 100% before).
There was a thead on reddit about this as well (here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2vrcuj/facebook_messenger_causing_massive_battery_drain/)
One of the replies was:
UPDATE: WE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. Details: We identified a syncing issue on Android that was affecting people’s battery life. We have fixed the issue and Messenger should be back to normal. The issue was solved on our backend so no need to update the app. Thank you all for submitting reports. Reinstall Messenger here.
Hi Reddit I'm an engineer on Messenger for Android. We're tracking the battery drain issue and are currently try to find the cause. If anyone experience excessive battery drain wants to help out we'd highly appreciate "Reporting a Problem" with "battery drain" as the issue.
If anyone is familiar with taking Android bug reports, stack dumps, or logs, please PM me or directly email [email protected]. Thank you so much for your help!
We take this issue very seriously and are working hard to fix the issue.

Not sure if this is really fixed now, but I just installed Messenger again and I will be monitoring the apps battery usage.

Let us know! I really do like the app and it's handy. In fact, for a few weeks I went all in with facebook and installed facebook Home and used Messenger strictly as my texts and fb messages. It really does work well and chat bubbles are fun and useful. I wish I could integrate Chatheads with hangouts.

Well, as I said earlier today, I had re-installed the app and from what I can tell so far the battery drain problem really seems to be fixed. In the last 5 hours - with the app installed and running the background - battery on my phone went down by 8%. Just a day ago, within those same 5 hours the Messenger app would have drained battery by ~70% easily. If anything changes I'll let you know.

I noticed this the other day too out of the blue. Uninstalled it for now, can message within the Facebook app.

Donot update lolipop...

My friend got update to lolipop 5.0.1 he ruined his phone battery life..total screen on time 3 hours just
my 4.4.4 kitkat give me this battery life almost 6 hours withour powersaving mode
here is proof

I'm getting 6hr or more with average use on Lollipop 5.0.1

Lots of people who updated, have a little bit less battery runtime with lollipop then with kitkat. I think using "ruined" is a lil over the top. It's a bug in Lollipop (no need to prove your statement) and is on the Nexus and HTC devices too. Still getting easily a full day on a single charge

I can't wait for the update. I'm getting 3 hours SOT with 4.4.4

@Lyrah battery life seems good lol...that is almost the same I am getting.

Over all poorer battery life with lollipop but still not to the extend of "ruined my phone". It is still a good update.

There are always sissies that want to complain. Nothing wrong with lollipop. And don't compare it with kitkat that is using a custom kernel probably

I don t think 2 hours SOT down on non root phone is acceptable update.

It's his personal bug. Samsung never said to him, flash with odin. So don't complain if he is using a unofficially tool. If you do use odin, always wipe your phone or life with it.

Yeah, lollipop destroyed my battery life too, down to 3 hours SOT if I'm lucky, before it was 4:30-5ish hours

Question is: Have you done a factory reset or not? If not, you can complain all day long.

So battery usage for person A compared to person B in an uncontrolled unscientific test....and it "ruined his phone" ?
OK.....

As usual many unhelpful comments. Try turning off wifi when not required. I have the problem and it's much improved by manually turning it off. There appears to be a bug randomly affecting users. Mine was actually fine for the first 3 or 4 days then one day it died really quickly. Wifi was the culprit.

This is what I get with LP. Much worst than KK. I have done full wipe after update N910c

People get an update they've been anxiously waiting for and as a result play with their phone more. Then they complain the battery life is "ruined".
If you're rooted you need to do a couple of things.
Give the new ROM a day to "settle down". This is also for you so that you fall back into normal usage habits.
Then charge your phone to full. Wipe battery stats. Discharge all the way to empty then charge to full again.
You'll get a lot more battery life if you do that each time a new ROM is flashed.
Lastly, calm down. Put down the sky-is-falling megaphone.

You're a joke and as old as your advices are. I'm not rooted. I use FB for 5 minutes and it stays connected as all apps that use Internet.
They stay connected even if you use them for 1 minute.
Also even if I didn't wanted to have FB it comes preinstalled.
I'm no child and my use pattern is the same as KK.
Stop being an smartie and if you have no real solution to a problem don't comment. Unless it hurts your loved one, Samsung, which no one said was it's fault.
It's just the buggy 5.0.1.

Whatever you say bro. I told you how to fix it. Sure it's old advice but no one seems to do it. And it's a sound practice that has solved nearly every battery life issue I've had with any phone.
And i wasn't speaking to you specifically, just commenting on a general pattern I see with battery complaints. But I see now your screenshot shows Facebook as the top app. So maybe you thought I was talking to you alone. I replied before I even got to the last page.
But funny, you only used it for five minutes and it's the top app. Hmm...so sort of makes my point stronger about a 3rd party app sucking down battery life eh? More reason to root and dump the bloatware.
And sure, your usage behavior remained firmly rooted in stone with a brand new update. whatever you say.
And my love for Samsung? Please I've got iPhones, htc, motorola.... It's the same overblown complaining in every manufacturer's forum.
Take a chill pill.

I'm chilled. I don't want to root just to get rid of bloat that shouldn't had been there in the first place.

Thanks man. Just unchecked it and I'll let you know. This sound much more reasonable to be sucking down battery life.

with lollipop I have one houre more SOT (7 hours, 6 with KitKat) and I am very happy with the update!
