I bought a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus on Friday and spent the weekend adding movies, music, etc..So far, I love the device.
Last night I set it on my desk with about 86% battery left but did not plug it in and did not turn it off. I simply let it sleep...
When I got up this AM, it was unresponsive as the batter had completely drained. I have no way of knowing why this happened since the device went off completelya nd any programs I may have left running were no longer running of course.
Is this normal for an unusde device overnight? Anyone else experience this? Should I return it?
Thank You!

I suppose you also let the WiFi and BT run also ? If yes, then it's absolutely normal If no, you should check what apps you had running in the background... and as a golden rule : use the night to recharge and the day to use it.
Yes thanks. I did leave WiFi on but no BT. I typically do charge my devices overnight but just forgot last night so the batter drain was a little worrisome. I will try it again tonight without WiFi on and see if that makes a difference. Thank You!

You're welcome.. for the record : my Tab only drains 1 or max 2 % overnight, WiFi, sync etc disabled of course
Cheers
You are spot on my friend...I left it on my desk last night with 87% battery and when I woke up this AM it was at 86%. I feel much better now.
Thanks again!

Hi,
Not the slightest idea What apps are you running ? What is running in the background ? Basically, I've never heard about ABD having a battery issue, unless your battery is damaged somehow. Maybe you should try a battery-widget to check the system on battery-hogs and/or uninstall everything the reinstalling one by one testing battery lifetime.
Cheers
Hi,
my left my P6200 to charge like 5 hours but it still won't reach 100% full. its only close to 85%. I start charging it around 20%.
Device is off when charging.
any idea how long does it takes to fully charge it?
and another thing is the area around the Sim card and Memory card slots area heats up at the back cover quite easily when use.
anyone experience these?

Is your phone rooted?
Please make a screenshot of the battery options.
Like I have do it.
I forgot one thing.
Charge your phone to 100% before you go to sleep. Then you take off the power cable and then don't touch the phone until you awake in the morning.
Then you make this screenshot.
Ok will do this...

First off, I'd suggest you upgrade your firmware quick as possible. Go to b125/b132 or b512

Well im experiencing this issue since the very first day I bought this phone... & im not rooted & on last firmware update.. will post screen shots tomorrow
Strange. I have the battery lasts well two days
Here is my personal experience so far (I have my P7 last week, and I did not use an Android for more than one year), overall I'm somewhat disappointed by Android in the power management area, things do not seem to improve for 2 years
I disabled Google Now and deactivated location history, that seems to improve the battery life. I noted that Google Play Services consumed more than 20% yesterday. With Google now, the battery did not last more than 14h.
Without Google Now, I notice today that Cell Standby consumed about 15% for today. After 15h, there is some 20% left with moderate use. In a normal day, this means that I will have trouble to go through.
I try to do some tweaks to improve the battery life, but really have no clue what to test exactly ( disable 4g seems to have minor effect ).
Hello folks here are the scrren shots to my phone , it's really disappoints me a lot ...

Your screenshot are ok.
The signal can be problem, for your battery drain.
But I miss the big thing. I can't see how the battery drains over the night. Because all your screnshots don't show the battery drain over night.
Please follow this way:
Charge the phone until is 100%.
Take off the power charger from the phone.
Don't (never) touch the phone in the night and go to sleep.
Then you awake in the morning, make this screenshots.
Other way you can test too ( for the second night).
Update the firmware to the newest firmware.
Reset your phone (to the factory defaults).
Don't configure accounts, don't install apps etc.
Take off the power charger from the phone.
Don't (never) touch the phone in the night and go to sleep.
Then you awake in the morning, make this screenshots.
Hey guys:
Here's my latest problem. Have been using BadSeed's 4.4.3 ROM for my Sprint HTC One m7 for more than a month with no problems with battery life (in fact, my battery life was really great after switching over to the ROM with the custom kernel. However, I am now seeing terrible battery performance. With very little usage, the phone is dying within 8 hours. Here are some images for you to check out. Hoping I can get some advice on whether I have an actual battery issue or this is a software problem. I'm afraid it is an actual battery problem, but I also have noticed some pretty big drain on my battery in BatteryStatsPlus. I ran a battery test using HTC Function test a few days ago and it passed with flying colors while in airplane mode Dropped only 10 percent with the screen on for an hour, well above the 70 percent cut off. I just looked at my battery stats and notice the HTC Function Test is eating a lot of battery. The thing is, I haven't ran any function tests for at least 3 days. Why is that still showing up?
@clsA: Any idea?
Anywho. Two images are attached for your viewing pleasure!
OK. It looks like my phone isn't ever going into deep sleep mode.

No. Now the top two are showing up as Fused Location (59%) and Google Account Manager (33.3). Ive noticed lately the phone barely charges while screen is on. Under Wake Usage, it shows Google Account Manager as being responsible for 6hrs and 18 mins of wake usage.
In Wakelock Detector, Avast is showing x2804 as top CPU Wakelock item.
Uninstalled Avast and wakelock has stopped and entering deep sleep again. Will see if this resolves the issue.

yeah I'm not to keen on AV software
My understanding of AV software on Android is that it is only needed if you utilize custom roms. I installed AVG and it doesn't appear to be causing any issues.
Hey everyone!
I got my Note5 near launch day. I love everything about it, except the battery life.
Basically, I am not satisfied. I barely make it through the day with moderate usage. The crux of my problem is idle/standby battery drain.
This has been a problem for me ever since I got my Note5 and even for some of my old phones (M8 on Lollipop).
The Issue: I'm fine with how the battery drains when I'm actively using it. I'm not going to go into much detail about that, but I'm satisfied with how fast I seem to be killing the battery while using it. The part I'm not satisfied with is how much the battery drains when I'm not using the phone. Obviously, this must be an issue with wakelocks. When you look at the screenshot below for Android OS, it is always wake for more than 2.5+ hours in a 15 hour usage period. Now, I'm not sure if that's normal anymore. I don't remember how it was on KK, nor do I know if that's what everyone else is getting.
The Issues Cont: So yeah I have massive idle drain. (I estimated that I get about 1.5-1.6% battery drain per hour. I charged my phone up to 100% and let it sit idle overnight for a span of about 8 hours or so. It went from 100 to 91 during that time). What this means for me is that, I can use my phone less and less because while it sits in my phone, it dies quickly! On GSam, it shows that my battery discharged 38% while the screen was off! Again, I don't know if this is 'normal'. What is everyone else getting?
What I tried: I tried factory resetting. Nope. I tried reflashing the firmware, factory resetting. Nope. I booted into safe mode and left it idle overnight. Still dropped to about 92% or so, IIRC. I actually had the GS6 Edge before the Note5, but I returned it because of the ****ty battery life. Then I inserted my S-pen backward and broke the sensor in the Note5, so I got a replacement. For each instance, I always got crappy battery life. So I am doubting that this is a hardware issue. I tried minimizing the apps installed so minimize wakelocks, but it didn't seem to help.
What I want: Honestly, I just want to be able to use my phone and have it not drain so much while it's in my pocket or on the desk. I want to be able to go into a lecture for a few hours and come out with maybe 1% drain, not 3% or 4%. And I want to do this without rooting. I don't want to trip Knox, and I'm tired of rooting and spending hours tinkering with my phone to get decent battery life.
Attachments: I uploaded screenshots of almost everything I thought would be pertinent. Please have a look and hopefully we can compare results and figure out whether this is normal for a Note5 or not!

I reckom its something you are downloading is doing it. Add one app at a time and see what it does.

Yes there is something keeping your device awake. Rogue app. First guess would be that Facebook messenger app. Look in settings for your running applications, try to limit those to ones you absolutely need using package disabler. If you don't know what's OK to disable, read through the debloating guidelines thread.

Never let Facebook or Games run in the background and MOST IMPORTANTLY disable location services completely. Keep it on a toggle and turn it off until you need it. Always keep it off or Google will ping your location once every minute. It literally halves battery life.

I don't have the Official Facebook app installed.. And I almost always keep location services off, but the battery still drains as it does..
Use the smart manager app to stop certain apps from running in background and restrict background data for apps that don't need it in the mobile data settings.

My battery is amazing and I can say this as I am a battery guru and have spent countless hours trying to squeeze all the juice out of my devices, which includes eliminating wake locks. If you had root you could figure it out, without root you'll have to start un installing apps 1 at a time until it get's better. Also check your exchange accounts.
I assure you something is wrong as my battery life is the best of any phone I've had.

This probably won't be helpful at all as it is a complete shot in the dark, but perhaps you have an app that is trying to get your location continually since you have it off? Maybe try leaving location on. I never turn it off and I've been getting very good battery life on my T-mobile Note 5.

I also tried leaving location on as well. I can't really see an improvement as well. I actually only recently kept location off.

Lately my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge) has been running low on power. I charge it and within 10 minutes it's down to 90%. Before the latest update , I used to see what apps are running. Now, i can't find the option anymore. What can I use to find out what is eating away at the power? Is there an app that will tell me what is always running ? Thanks.

I have been having the same issue. Drops from 99% to 2% in 12 hours with screen on less than a minute. Very rapid battery drain over the past week or so. Basic info on battery usage can be found under battery info. Under developer options you can find information on running processes. Better battery stats gives detailed information on what is going on with the battery, but if you lack root, the only way to get it working is through adb. You should find a thread on the forums that explains it more.
Mines doing the same. I believe its internally going bad. (the battery that is....) things don't last forever and companies know this, that's why they come out with a new phone every year!
I'm tossing mine back to Verizon in January and getting a Pixel. Until Samsung can figure out their issues I will try other vendors..
