Hey all - I was astounded at the Turbo battery life when I first got the phone, and it's behaved normally until about two weeks ago. Since then, I've been lucky to have it last one day. I really don't use my phone very much; maybe five or ten brief calls a day, an hour of surfing, some wifi hotspotting, etc. My first thought was some sort of draining app, and the phone had been bugging me to OTA upgrade forever, which I didn't, because I rooted with mofo. So I took the plunge on Sunshine/bootloader/5.1 and at first everything seemed fine, but I'm experiencing the same kind of things now. I'm at 36% now, having spent eight hours today outside doing yard work with the phone in my pocket. I did a bit of browsing, texting, phone today but not much.
I'm wondering if my phone battery, like all batteries eventually, is at the end of its life. I'm going to NYC early next week and really don't want my phone to be dying while there. Here's a screenshot of my battery usage today:

FWIW I didn't open Google Play today, so perhaps it was updating apps automatically - but I really don't have very many, so that shouldn't have taken massive amounts of battery.
There's a LifeLine place in town that's been good about replacing screens in the past so if it is my battery, I may take it to them.
Many thanks for your input!
Did you flash a new ROM or do a factory reset? Sometimes it helps to wipe the system and data partition (not user data, back it up just in case) and start fresh. At the very least I would wipe cache.
Other than that, you can try wakelock detector, restricting background data for Google services, and toggling all connectivity and location settings off then back on. One of those battery stat reset apps works sometimes as well.
I would say the battery is on the decline if you start fresh and don't see excessive wakelocks, yet it still doesn't last as long as you expect.
Good luck.

Many thanks, Spyder - actually I think I may have figured it out! I noticed that Google Play Services was taking an inordinate amount of battery, and read that a recent update may have messed things up. So following some instructions I found I uninstalled updates and then reinstalled them - and it seems to have made a huge difference!
Many thanks for these excellent ideas, however - I love this forum!

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with battery like everybody else.
I'm not a n00b about this and I have no crazy apps installed (I'll attach the list of apps I have)
My rotation sensor is off,
AutoBrightness is off,
HSDPA is turned off,
UMTS is turned off,
EDGE is always on and AutoSync is always on.
I have only 1 widget running that is Battery Monitor Widget.
Using SpeedMod K13C 500Hz with no tweaks applied and no lagfixes applied, I'm having huge battery drain randomly, most probably when I switch network connections wifi-edge-wifi-edge.
Here's my RomKitchen log file

Here's my installed apps list

Here's a screenshot from my last battery graph (this rom is installed almost 20 days ago)

As you can see, my battery instantly dropped by huge amount.
All I did was wake up the phone,
toggle Wifi ON,
open Skype,
login, call a contact for 3 minutes,
logout Skype,
toggle wifi off.
What I want to know is, if Wifi driver patch needed with this setup? Will it make any difference? Maybe it was not my wifi but my screen?
I desperately need advice on this.
Thanks guys.
Uninstall Skype and test it. Its running even when logged out and eating too much battery. Have tested it withhero and system panels monitor. ..
The battery draining that much all at once strikes me as very odd.
Off the cuff that seems like a reporting error to me. Try recalibrating the battery a few times the old fashioned way (drain fully, charge to 100 while off, wipe batt stats, rinse, repeat) and see if it happens again.
Good luck.
Thought about trying totally stock for while I tried different kernells and found I still go back to stock best ive had is js5 getting around 45 hours on stock against charging twice aday with modded phone

Calibrating battery and freezing skype with titanium backup seem to fix problem.
Thanks

Hey all,
After upgrading to nougat, I've had pretty terrible battery life. Essentially, my phone will always drain battery. Turns out, every 6 seconds on average, Google quicksearchbox is turning on my phone for something or another. I've tried wiping cache and data through system and recovery for Google services with no luck. I don't have any wakelock contributing to this. I've disabled a ton of apps and settings so far with no change. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this short of trying a factory reset or custom rom? What else can I try? I'm not rooted. Thanks!

I think Google services does some background activities after we upgrade Android versions.. typically for 2-3 battery cycles.. after which you should get better results.. if it's past that too.. then it might be a drain issue

I upgraded on the 31st and was having this issue 6-7 days out. I upgraded a few hours ago to the 4.0.1. Hoping that does the trick. Few hours in and doesn't seem to be too much better unfortunately. Fingers crossed.

Have you tried disabling the app for a while?
Uninstall reinstall the app/updates?

1. Disable which app? Google now? No, because it didn't used to do this and I use google now all the time. I'm sure if it was an issue with the app version, other people would be having issues too.
2. Yes, tried this. No change
What helped me with battery is turning location to high accuracy then turning off google location history, then go into battery and turning on "close app with high battery drain", and turning on agresive hibernation, and finally restricting any app that don't need cell to wifi only. Hope it helps, I did this to my brother's OnePlus 3 and it saves him about 40% at the end of the day.

Hi everyone,
I have this little phone for about 2 weeks and I've never ever reached a good and consistent on screen time. I've always had about 2-3 hours, although this phone could manage 5-6 hours on screen time!
This is my situation right now (I have 43% battery left)

Is that normal??
If you disable RCSservice you will get at least 20% of your battery back, with no side effects.
RCSservice was invented by google as an alternative messaging protocol, to be added to mms messaging. But it never really took off and from what I can gather, some service providers don't support it, at which point RCS seems to go into some sort of error state, eating battery.
I put some instructions together on how to remove it and reclaim some battery.

Disable wifi scanning under location settings.
'Keep wifi on during sleep' should be set to 'only when plugged in' (under wifi prefrences\advanced)
Try installing Greenify to slow down the wakelocks.
Better Battery Stats can be installed on a non-rooted phone with some ADB commands. This will tell you everything you need to know, what's waking the phone, what's using the network, whats' waking with alarms etc etc. As well as having a helpful thread to talk about what you find.
Using 5Ghz wifi uses a lot of juice, if possible sepearte 2.5Ghz & 5Ghz bands on your home wifi and use the 2.5Ghz. The speed difference is negligable.
Disable sync under account settings . This will save you heaps of battery, but then you're going to have to open Gmail and press refresh to find out if you have mail. Most other stuff works ok with it turned off whatsapp/twitter/snapchat/et all
Here a similar issue with the XZ1 compact. Think battery life is quite disappointing to be honest, felt it was better once upon a time.
My XZ1C battery life is quite good
Hi guys
S10 5G (SM-G977B) owner. Been using since launch. Exynos version with latest update - G977BXXS2ASJ7.
Always recharge to 80% battery to maintain health for lifespan of phone. Avoid leaving it plugged in overnight.
This looks like a bug that I have noticed following the last major update which introducted a bunch of Galaxy Note features such as Samsund DeX for windows.
Phone will literally hold 4% charge for hours. Picture attached. Is there a fix for this or is this a known issue? Couldn't find anything online with all posts about high drain touching on the usual suspects (always on display, 5G switched on, performance mode, screen brightness etc)

Have you tried a factory reset? Or ever done a clean install using Odin files with CSC_OMC?
I'd suggest factory reset as this seems like a glitch with your device. It's definitely not a known issue with the 5G or any S10 variant.
Hopefully it's not a battery or other hardware issue that's apeared. But the reset will help rule that out. It's a good idea to do it once in a while anyway.
Also, not charging overnight, and only charging to 80%, is saving you next to nothing on long term battery life. Unless you plan to keep the phone for something like 4 or 5 years, you'll see absolutely no difference in the life of the battery over the next years or two by doing that. You're best to charge to 100% and get the full 100% charge during the day.
Thanks mate. No factory reset yet attempted. Always painful re-synching all the apps and 2fa services so generally try to avoid. I have attempted Davlik cache wipe but that made no tangible benefit. Accubattery reporting 85% battery health and this is despite my battery babysitting ways (3774mAh actual vs 4400mAh design)
Hi guys, I have the following problem. My phone keeps turning off at random times. Today it happened more then 5 times. The problem started about a month ago. The phone started turning off at random times. So I did a factory reset with complete data wipe and it didn't help. So then I disabled Google services like Chrome, Disk, Gmail etc., Cleaned the chache as well. So this stopped the problem for a while. The I decided to turn back the services one by one to see if it works and it did work alright for a week or so. But since yesterday the problem got worse. I disabled the services one again but the problem stays. I should point out that about 6 months ago I send the phone for a battery change and it was done in official OnePlus service center with OEM part. So the battery should be fine. What I noticed is a huge battery drain on the phone while is turnes off. I attach screens showing the drain and that it had about 1,5 hours of screen on time. There is barely any app on the phone. I use Edge instead of Chrome, I have Viber plus three or four other apps to try keep it simple. Can you help me with that issue?

Just wow. I have exactly the same problem. I also changed the battery 6 months ago like you did but myself with eBay battery. I was thinking it has something to do with the battery cable not connecting properly but the battery was changed 6 months ago and the problem started 1 month ago like yours. The eBay seller is sending me a free replacement to see if it works. I also tried formating ,wiping cache etc but nothing worked. I have no issues with battery drain at all though. The new battery works fine. Sometimes I notice a little overheat that I have never seen before in the 3 years I use as a daily driver. Also sometimes when it powers off, the only way to power it on is by plugging the charger.
