Galaxy K zoom extreme battery drain - Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Just bought a Galaxy K zoom. It is fresh out of restore to factory settings and there is no root.
Problem is the battery drains TOO fast.
Without a SIM card, with WiFi and location always ON, it lasts about 24 hours. Without using it at all, that is.
I find this to be unacceptable. Do you think smth is wrong with the phone?
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.

I will get mine tomorrow, so can't say anything yet. Maybe check in battery settings what is using (which app or system app) mostly battery and then maybe install greenify to stop apps run when not needed.

Hi Bro,
2 days ago i try to root my tabs then install battery booster, and now i'm never got this issue again, but i don't know after today, so let's monitoring.
BR
its been 2 days since i also install battery booster, the battery issue is gone. but now i am wondering is this the best solution using an apk for this issue, or maybe i should use my warranty card from samsung to get a new battery instead...

I reset my battery history using the clock work mod recovery, since then I havent had this problem.

On-screen app sucking the life out of battery

Have any of you guys experienced this? This stock LG app is eating all my battery after updating to gingerbread! And I haven't used it once. Never saw this before updating to gingerbread. Guess this gives me yet another reason to root and clean up the bloat-ware.

Seems to be a common problem, I experienced it myself on one of the leaks. The service restarted, found a problem and exited, got restarted etc. ad infinitum.
Agree, just root, and take a look at this post.
If you open dialer immeditely after the phone boots up, on screen phone starts to hog battery. So let the phone sit for a while, 10 minutes or so, and this doesn't happen. Same applies for camera, at least for me. Youtube app does the same regardless of when you open it, haven't found a solution for this one yet.
I had the same issue on V20L. So I removed OSP and the problem is solved.
i have some other doubts about this app and situation in general. if you see actual usage stats, that this app is not running at all (some sec of cpu time). what i noticed, after updating to v20l battery stats are total messed up. f i launch for exaple some other app jus after chargeing...thiss first app will always have 25-30% of battery usage in the end...even if i have used and than killed it seconds.
anyway, i will go for rooting and removin all those unnessesary aps.

I had the same issue however I would question the accuracy of the battery meter. Anyway. froze the OSP app and it doesn't show in stats anymore.

I had 2 days ago the same problem with the OSP. I fully charged the phone last evening and left it to discharge with wifi on over night. It would have consumed over 8h 10% max, however GB took 25%.
The odd part: this time it wasn't OSP consuming 50% of the drain anymore, but Gallery! wtf?
maybe stupid question..but what is OSP? :/
I'm having trouble with batterylife on my o2x..it drains in 4-5 hours of very little usage.
Thinking of rooting..but can I do that with Superoneclick? when I have 2.3

OSP = On Screen Phone
its an app pre-installed with the phone.
Thank you. So if I root I can freeze that app and save some battery? What other apps would you say I should freeze to improve batterylife?

Ok. So how much of a difference does freezing apps really do? But can I root my o2x with the latest SuperOneclick?

[Q] What Process Is Eating Battery?

My wife's revolution has something running that eats the battery in a couple hours and makes charging the phone ridiculously long. Under battery use Android System is always above 90% usage. This doesn't tell me much. How do I pinpoint what part of the Android System is actually causing it?
Go to settings/applications/running services. Should tell you what's running and now much RAM its using. If its pointless and your rooted you can use an app such as titanium backup pro to freeze it.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Battery burning super fast?

Whilst I have been having the screen on, it shouldn't be burning this fast and it certainly didn't use to. 23 minutes on battery and 20% burned?
Did you install a new rom or new kernel? You can install an app like BetterBatteryStats to check out what might be causing this battery drain.

Stock ROM 4.0.4 and have never rooted or flashed anything on before. It is completely stock and unaltered in every way. All I've done is install apps. It just seems to have been a little bad recently. I have BetterBatteryStats on, but the it isn't wakelocks. As I said, I've got the screen on consistently so the phone will always be awake. It is just that 20% in that amount of time seems really high, even for constant use, and I swear it didn't use to be that bad. I've installed Juice Defender because it tends to be good in how it managers network and WiFi. So far, things seem to be stabilising. But, I still want to know what can cause such sharp drainage...
Do you have a lot of apps running in the background? This is most likely the cause. Brightness is a big issue also. Flash a kernal!

Check that you have Auto-brightness enabled. Also, I found that certain apps can drain battery big time. I agree with checking via a battery stats program. Maybe an APP is running in the background causing the cpu to stay at max speed?

Totally agree. Before I root my Note to delete some unuse apps from stock 4.0.4, the battery drains very fast. The most reason is some apps running in the background.
Did you change your sim recently? Sometimes the culprit is sim card.

Not fixes, but suggestions:
- An app like Green Power will stop data usage when screen off
- As others said, look into your display. My favourite app is Display Brightness as it adds an invisible slider on your screen
- For some reason, Chrome in the last week began to EAT my phone. I uninstalled it and I'm back to a blessed 1% an hour drain

Thanks for your link, really helpful for me:good:
You may have to check your battery. Will it be hot when you are using it? Look at your battery, does it look "fat"? It happened once to me before, after changing a new battery. It's fine now. It was caused by overcharging it during the night.
I experienced it on my previous phone, now im going to prove it again in my note because i changed my sim recently and now i cannot achieved the 5 hrs i had before that my original sim card, best phone can do now is 3.5 hrs. I try to contact my provider if they can restore my previous sim card and see what will happen, its just a suspect.

u r right..all modern chargers hv that..so, it will cut off the power when charging is complete..even I do put my Note for charging & go to sleep
So, dont worry..put your charger for charging & u can confidently go to sleep :good:
If you have network location checked and or GPS in /setting/location and security.
that's your suck battery problem.
Network location awake the phone constantly in accord with weather widget and lot apps in background that use this feature.

[Q] Battery Drain Kitkat Razr I

Since updating to kitkat on my Razr I, the battery life has become quite poor. Does anyone have any tips to increase battery life, it seems that whatever app I use, drains battery! I normally run my phone on the lowest brightness, no Bluetooth, no location services or anything like that with just wifi or mobile data on (never at the same time). Currently at 85% in 35 minutes. Thankyou!
