I've had relatively poor battery life as well... I went 12 hours with a recharge from 10 to 50% again before it completely drained...
I'm not impressed with the battery on this phone but everything else has been great.
... I'm starting to think I'll have to make my own Qi Charger for pant pockets... embed it in your pocket so whenever the phone is there it's charging. I'm seriously considering trying this to see if it's possible... if so, i'm doing it for sure. Or a carrying case with an extra battery and a Qi Charger... or a Qi charger dock for the car... you get the idea. Wireless charging shouldn't be the fix for poor battery life, but it definitely could help it.

Ahahahaha I didn't even see the task manager. Yes remove that and your battery should improve a lot. Also if you're running jellybean, you have an auto task manager.

Task managers mess around with Android's memory management and it is fairly well known that they usually end up draining more battery than they save. Try getting rid of it.
Also other people are reporting that the battery life gets better after a few days of using. Is yours really new? Im not sure how true that is btw.

Probably a combination of that task killer and a wake lock.

Install Franco's kernel. Battery life has been outstanding (1 Gmail account sync, 1 Exchange account sync, maybe 30 minutes of calls and 100+ texts a day; I have location services & Google Now enabled as well). I average 3+ hours screen on time and I normally end the day around 30% ...
I would stay away from task managers ... it's not that I know what's going on more than you or anyone else, but well established and respected kernel developers recommend against it. If these guys don't know then I honestly don't know who else does ...

just uninstalled advanced task manager to diagnose the problem, and so far it still remains, so the task manager is not that problem.

You're gonna have to be patient for results. Also reboot and fix your wake locks soon and you'll see better battery.

1. remove the task killer, you REALLY don't need it
2. Install BetterBatteryStats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
3. Go on a wakelock witch hunt.
Question: were you on the same WiFi network the whole time? Is it your home network?

Yep...20-30 minutes won't tell the tale. I'd also recommend Brightness Toggle widget...allows a few extra steps (16 total, IIRC) of brightness control over stock, to fine tune screen brightness, often another culprit.

Turn off location access!!

Now I'm running the latest version of Rapture ultimate variant on 5.0.1, the first night after installing this rom I was at 100% didn't charge once throughout the whole day, screen was #1 on battery drainage, had a decent SOT of 6 hours and 30 minutes I believe that's good but you tell me [emoji14], anyways the following days it's been android system with an average of 24% it's really starting to annoy me as its brought down my screen time a bit here's some pics of my states an what's android system running, I have several things frozen as well that are listed why there listed idk but several are frozen! If you know of any fixes to solve android system from being such a high usage please let me know! Thanks!

Stock battery app doesn't provide enough information to solve the problem. Apps such as Wakelock Detector are needed to drill down to meaningful information. There are also lots of existing threads that provide great instructions on how to improve battery life.

I froze a bit of stuff that was listed in the android system from my pic in OP then gave it a day an noticed it started going down now it's dormant at only 5% an screen is at 17% exactly the way I like it oh and I'm getting more than a days worth on one charge with 6-1/2hrs + SOT, I'll put pics up of a list of what I froze , not just the android system stuff but what I froze in general
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Somewhere within this list one of them was causing android system to be high which one for I'm not sure of but try the list give it a good 2 days or so from 100% to 0% battery and if it worked then I'm glad if not unfortunately you should try some other things, also try wake lock detector(root required) as the other poster stated as well as better battery stats (cost money and requires root)

So how's it going? Still having high usage on android system?
I think I have it pinned down.
I am fairly certain it's caused by ims settings, ims logger, or ims service. I noticed none of these were disabled in your list, so I'm curious If u had improvement.

It's going absolutely great here's an example of how my battery had been since I did that list
as for ims service and the others that's for instant message service so if you text it would affect your texting an to my understanding would force crash whenever you try to text now I haven't disabled it but I'll go ahead an do that for you an let you know if I am still able to text people or not
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Okay I disabled all the ims services as listed here
I sent several text they were a success I also tested Facebook messenger it was also a success as always I suggest making a nandroid but yes so far I have no force closes or anything now I just did it so I'll leave them frozen an report back in a few hours to let you know if I had any problems best of luck!

Youtube Official app isn't a battery hog at the first place.
The best alternate would be the browser but you won't have HD video in a browser (unless you switch to desktop mode).
Side Note: Firefox allows background play on youtube.

12-13% an hour IMO is battery hog :F

If you use YouTube, it will use battery. It's as simple as that.

12-13% per hour youtube means 7 hours non-stop youtube play until the battery is fully out...means 7 hours sot...
well..I'll be damn...that is gooooooood! Godly, if I may say so myself.

Install xposed and youtube 'background playback'. You can then switch off the screen and still get the audio. It should save some battery. Works pretty well for music...less for videos

I'm a big fan of NewPipe. It's not available in the Play Store so you'll either have to install it with F-Droid or download the .apk from the F-Droid site.

I used to be a fan of New Pipe as well, until I have found YouTube Music. You can get it straight from XDA forums or install XDA Labs and get the app from there. In my opinion I think is the best apk for YouTube background, stream or download.

How are you getting lower than that with regular use? Not even with black themed apps can I get under 10% / hour unless I'm just looking at a black background without doing anything else.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I'd like to have a 3rd party youtube app with playback speed control, or even better, an xposed module that adds speed control to the stock YouTube app.

Something fishy about Samsung internet.

The battery usage jumps between 45 and 65% randomly within seconds. Two screen shots attached.
Also gsam shows its using more than the usual for me battery usage? Any ideas before uninstalling updates and reinstalling? Thanks.

Might be something that have failed like a sync with Samsung Cloud or a site that keep sending notifications ?

For me, at least, browsers in general take by far the most of battery consumption. Maybe just the nature of the beast. I didn't measure but not such a big jump as on yours.

I disabled and installed Samsung Internet Beta and it seems ok now . Using the same extensions as well.

Hey mate. Actually this is something I've noticed with practically every app I have installed, they all show different percentages depending on how I navigate to that particular screen.
No idea what's causing it though haha.

Battery drain problems

Hello guys!
I have battery drain problems and I can't find the reason if it's causing it an app or just bad radio signal. Overnight my phone loses about 5-6% with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Data, location switched off in about 6 hours of sleep. Same drain had it with airplane mode enabled in some occasions.
A detail I want to report, is that I have closed background data for all of my apps, except those apps I want to have notifications, such as Viber, Telegram, Gmail, Google, Calendar, Tapatalk, YouTube etc. Closing background data it's a method I use (right or wrong) to all of my previous phones and I thought it would be helpful with battery drain issues.
I'm on Android 11 but same thing happened with Α10 too. I use 90Hz refresh rate, no motion sense at all. No Root or unlocked bootloader. Radio signal ranges about -87dBm to -90dBm and I uninstalled all of my apps to find the problem. What could it be;
Here some Gsam battery monitor screenshots. View attachment 5114255View attachment 5114253

It would be better to save a dump and post it in the BBS thread. There are a lot of people who have been analyzing dumps for years there. Make sure to make it for at least 6 hours with less than 1 minute screen on time.
I would strongly advise against using Servicely and Naptime. They are not needed on newish phones and OSs and can cause more harm than good.
Btw, it sounds like you're getting less than 1%/hr idle drain, which isn't that bad.

Instructions are in the OP of that thread.
Basically have your phone charged to around 90% or so (can be less but don't charge it to 100%), unplug and immediately turn off your screen. Don't use the phone for 6 hours (so best to do it overnight). After at least 6 hours turn your screen on and go into BBS and save a dump file (it's under the share icon and will be saved in Internal storage>Android/data/com.asksven.betterbatterystats/files/download). Or if easier you can share it to a place where you can retrieve it. Then post that dump file in the thread.
