[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...

[Q] Droid 3 bricked? not dead, backlight wont work.

First some history. Got this phone as a cheap replacement for my droid x2 on ebay. Started out with 5.6.890, successful root and flash to steel droid v5.5, ran fine for around 5 days. Dropped my phone, and got it slightly wet. I pulled the bat, let it dry out and 10 min later it seemed to be fine. 3 days after that incident it started acting buggy. First its brightness turned itself "off", being that there was zero illumination (think the old gameboy colors with no backlights, couldn't be used at night, needed a reading light, etc.), but if i shined a light on the screen i could see all my apps, texts, and make and receive calls. This continued after multiple reboots, bat pulls, but somehow solved itself after around half an hour. it worked fine for another 3 days, but now it turned itself off and went back to its weird no illumination situation. when i shine a light on the screen, it shows the M logo with the dual core writing underneath, then that fades away into total blackness until it comes back. It has a fully charged battery from a friends D3, and it wont connect to my computer, wont respond to any buttons, and even stays in this "bootloop" (but really it seems less functional than a bootloop which ive had to deal with before) with no battery just plugged into the wall charger. Any ideas for a fix? im probably getting a new phone for Christmas, but i have some important things i need to deal with before that. i also have around $50 im willing to put into making this thing work, as it has work and travel info i need asap. ANY help would be appreciated! thanks in advance.

does m+power boot to ap fastboot?
if so you could try flashing sbf

Sorry about the extra long question... another problem that prevents this from working is the phone won't turn/stay off. as soon as i put the battery in it goes into its loop, before i push any buttons. thanks anyways but it seems like i might just be screwed

[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.

[Q] battery draining ridiculously fast, any idea?

I've never had this problem with my other Notes. In the last couple of weeks I noticed this started to happen, where I'm losing battery ridiculously fast where I can't really use the phone for more than 3 hours. Battery stats show that "Android System" is using the battery. I got the G Sam Battery Monitor app, which reflects the same thing.
But Android System could be any number of things. Any idea what I should be looking at? Where I should start trying to find a culprit?

Is GPS icon flashing? If so, check which app is running in the backgroud that is using GPS.
Also, clear all of your recent apps and see if it fixes it.

No GPS isn't flashing. And I've gotten in the habit of clearing the recently opened apps. Memory shows 2GB of usage but "no active applications." I can't tell if something in the background would be using GPS.

Clean wipe, Odin flash the stock NJ7 build. re-root
Then reflash the ROM you want. Most likely you got something hung up in the code that it is trying to use and is failing so it is constantly running.
That our you have Facebook installed. Jk, sorta for real though worst app ever for battery.

I'm still stock, so haven't rooted or anything. I've been trying to hold out as long as possible. Other than this new battery issue I was OK without root (gasp).
I do have Facebook, and I'm a Facebook and 9Gag abuser, but if those were the apps draining battery, the stats would reflect them, no?
Like I said, I've never experienced this issue. In the past (see my long list of smartphones) I've always been able to pinpoint what's using my battery. Not this time.

Facebook hides a lot of battery usage in the ”Android System“ umbrella. But you should be getting much better battery.

Yes, but that's also not the cause of the battery issues. As Samsung doesn't ship out a phone expecting it get 5 hours of battery life and blame it on "LOL we bloated your phone."
I will undoubtedly end up rooting the phone, as I have done with all others, but I don't want to at this point.
Last night it ran out of battery completely while I was at the bar, so I couldn't charge it. That's the first time the phone shuts off in 21 days since I first got it. All my widgets on Go Launcher were lost for some reason. I'm going to let it run through the battery today and get some screenshots later.

Samsung may not but TMOBILE and all the junk running behind the seems and carrieriq and quite a few other things will. Yes they do bloat you and laugh at ya. Either way if you wanna experience great battery life root and get to work. You can also try to leave stock fresh wipe no apps and see for yourself how much bloat hurts you.

Yup huge difference with firecat. Oddly enough my note 3 had great battery life from just the stock rom.

Sorry, forgot to come back to the thread. After that night when I ran out of battery and the phone turned off (for the first time since I purchased it), I've had great battery life again. So something was definitely stuck. I've now restarted the phone and used it heavily the last two days and the phone has lasted me many many hours.

Man, I have non of these issues you've mentioned. Mine has been flawless. The only weird thing that happens sometimes is somethings reset on their own. Like some apps just disapeare from my home screen/folders for no reason. Some settings clear themselves out without me doing anything. Sometimes, I think Samsung is remotely is messing with my phone.

That's a chipset power management issue. The only fix I've found us turning off wifi or bluetooth for a second and then turn it back on.
The reason its happening is because of the wifi, data, and bluetooth chips being all in one when it comes to power management. Great for form factor, dumb for data/power handling.??
It happens on Oreo as well but pie handles it WAY WAY WORSE.

Yup. That's another thing that is getting old. Giving others crap for asking a simple question. Arguing over dumb stuff. Getting off topic on a thread with something very important, root. All of that has brought the idea of having a thread like this. I want everyone to participate and talk about whatever the hell they want. Just make it a chat room.

Sounds like a good idea, but I stupidly vape, so that $20 goes to juice and coils. And dang, those are some nice bikes you got there, bro.

So after taking the OTA on my Note FE to Pie CSC4 I have found that if I use Package disabler you cannot update apps in playstore. So my At&t Note 9 is going through the OTA to CSC1 now. If I am unable to use package disabler on the new Pie this is a deal breaker for me. I was able to use it on CSB3. I will let you guys know how it goes

Man, screw this. I'll be searching for cheaper unlockable phones from now on. I'm so tired of being locked down on my own device. Xiaomi sounds like a good phone to me. Lol

A buddy of mine has one and loves it
