I've already set the app to run on high priority, but it still doesn't properly track usage. This may have something to do with lollipops aggressive memory management, but I had no issue on lollipop with both last year's Moto x and the s4.
Ps I'm on the free version.

GSam says the time reported is from "custom reference". Change the GSam setting to be something else...
Since last full charge would probably be the most obvious. But some people prefer since last unplugged.
Touch the 'delta' symbol (triangle) at the bottom of the GSam screen.

I know I specifically set it to custom because it reportes the last charge was 2 days ago

Well I don't know what to tell you then...
When I have GSam set to 'since last full charge' it matches the usage of the built in battery stats (which are also calculated based on 'since last full charge').
If you use a different reference point in GSam, of course it won't match the stats on the built in app...

[Q] Battery temp of 140??

So here I am casually checking GSam when I see this alarming graph:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

To me, if this is accurate, it's terrifying! While this may have been happening I wasn't using the phone. 3 background apps, not charging. The phone is running the stock system. I also DID NOT notice a freakish heatsource in my pocket... It's been back to normal since so far.
Has anyone else seen an error like this in GSam, or maybe seen their battery temp legitimately go up to 140? Should I be concerned?

Your battery dropped precipitously right around that time. Check the others radio button to see what else may have been happening at the time. 140 seems awful high...it's entirely possible that a sensor went crazy for a few minutes...

I wouldn't worry about if unless you were using the phone and felt the temp go that high. Reminds me of my first 3 samdung captivates.. lol. Those literally got too hot to hold to my ear; somewhere in the 120F + range

Yeah I've been hoping it was just a GSam error, and thankfully the highest the temp it's been since is 40ish. Though it's weird that an error would show up over that time frame and peak shape.
You're right, the charge did drop a lot during that time. I checked out the other statistics and my phone signal dropped then, but not the minimum. Nothing else I saw was going on (screen, call, gps, active) ...
Here's hoping it stays good I guess.

[Q] - How to determine what's draining my battery?

Hi guys
I've been monitoring my battery for a few days now, and I've seen that my battery drains a lot when it's inactive.
According to these pictures, 43% of my battery came from not using it (under 20 hours).
How can I determine what's draining my battery, because I'm not very skilled in pointing out the process that's draining the battery.
I've included some pics to help you guys (Dutch, sorry, but I hope the icons will help you).

You should install BeterBatteryStats from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
And the let it monitor for a while. Look under partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks what is draining your battery.
I bet it's face book app. I had same perineum with my note 2. Just uninstall it and I'm fine now
Allright, I'll check that out.
Give me a few days and you'll hear back from me
Install BetterBatteryStats, launch it so it can set it's reference, then start with a full charge.
HTH.
In addition, GSAM Battery Monitor also gives a few hints, using the built in "app sucker"

I've been using the BetterBatteryStats app for a few days now.
Apparently the "msm_hsic_host" and "PowerManagerService" are causing the most wake locks.
After some googling I couldn't find an answer to fix those issues.
The search also revealed that the wake locks are caused by the Snapdragon.
Any suggestions to fix this and extend the battery life?
Thanks!

How many people's battery lasts a long time at 1%?

Not a huge problem, but based on screen shot below (and battery is still not dead--who knows how much longer it will go), when my battery says 1%, it looks like it has at least 5% remaining. How many others have this issue? It's annoying because it creates the appearance of faster drain than I'm actually having.

Run it dead and charge it back up. I think it is a common thing on this phone. I've done that and my drain appears normal now.

I've done that a couple times and it seems to be lasting longer and longer at 1% lol.

I dunno. YouTube worked on mine first time. It played over 2 hours of YT at 1%.

I never experienced that. I wish i did. I drained the phone down to 1% few times and every time it powered off aftew 2 minutes or so.

batteries are complicated and the methods used to measure them are weird.
temperature, voltage, amperage, projected usage and who knows what else all factor into the battery reading. the other day I was using my phone intensely. when i set it down and came back to it later, the battery reading had actually increased! so it's not a real measurement

Phone sleep

With you on that one. This phone has to have one of the worst sleep battery drain I've seen. Seems like an unfinished product with unpolished crappy software
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Agreed
I'm surprised there has been no software update with the gs7 series there were quick updates
Looks like the same bug from gs6 and gs7 are still present
Android os usage went down after I disabled wifi calling rather set it tp prefer cellular
LOL. Im a S7E user and I came here to read up on the new Note before I blew an Upgrade on Demand on it. The first thread I click on and it looks like the same battery problem still plagues it to this day. If you all are looking for a fix then I'm sure the S7 fix I posted a few months back will work. You can look throug my profile to find it. It should fix the "stay awake" issue.

I have no problem on mine, about 4% drain during 7 hr sleep. Once I disable programs I don't use I'm hoping for 2% drain, the same I'm getting on my old phone. I do manually kill programs I don't use often and I don't have any sync, auto updates etc. so that helps.

Battery stats not showing in full?

So my settings app doesnt tell me what drains my battery in full. Neither does any other battery app like gsam.

As you can see my phone is at 93% but my data report in here shows only 1% missing per app there. It doesnt add up to a 7% loss. I havent restarted my phone since charge so my stats haven't reset. Any ideas? I feel like im getting worse battery life than before.

Since these are round to full percentages, it's most probably rounding error.
They never add up... For example I now have 55℅ battery left but the report adds up to only 27℅. I have yet to find a clear explanation about what these percentages actually represent.
