Hi, looked for similar in threads but found no resolution.
After charging and booting I noticed the battery draining especially quickly recently. When looking at Spare Parts/battery history it shows running at 100%.I drop down Partial wake usage and usually two highest programs are Android system and UID 10015(?). When these are then pressed it shows the up time but not amounting to the total since boot.
When opening both CPU Spy and CPUStats they confirm NO deep sleep time.
To remedy this I have tried various from simple reboot, to kill all, changing various settings, opening apps and most recent flashing new rom CM 6.1.2 from previous CM 6.1.0.
Now here's the weird part - no one remedy works all the time, it's a question of hit and miss, such as this morning it took 3 reboots to work, yesterday a mess around with some apps cleared it.
Oh, and I did a full wipe/factory reset when flashing.
One last thing the problem only manifests itself from a reboot, so once cleared it runs sweet until I switch off at end of day and charge it.
Hope you can help cos although the problems not life threatening it sure is bugging the hell outa me.
Thanking in anticipation
Hi everyone, pretty much my first post on here (second in all honesty) after reading hundreds of post into flashing/installing a custom ROM. I have always ran stock Samsung but with root, but I wanted more and I was fed up with Samsung and other rogue apps causing wakelocks (kind of became an OCD thing trying to get rid of them). Was determined not to ask for help with so many threads saying the same thing, so I just too the plunge and thought fk it yolo and flashed CM10 onto my device.
Didn't really have a clue what I was doing but got there eventually. Used CWM and downloaded what I thought was the only stable version of CM. I scared myself at first as it was just stuck on the CM boot, did a bit of reading and forgot to do the factory reset and wipe, did that and it all ran smoothly.
After spending hours of fiddling last night, I'm now wondering if it's worth getting CM 11 or should I stick to 10? I barely use anything complicated on my phone, solitaire is about the only game that I play, main thing is just battery life and phone functionality and internet browsing. Also are there any settings that I should be looking into?
I always ran one power guard with stock rom, but after installing it onto CM I found it was causing the phone to never enter deep sleep, uninstalled it and it's pretty good now, has anyone else experienced this? Does CM have pretty good built in battery management or should I look at getting some kind of task killer/battery management software? Couldn't risk leaving it unplugged last night to check battery as my gf needed the alarm for this morning and didn't want to risk it going flat in the night and getting an earfull from her
Thanks in advance for any tips/help.
First of all, you need to know what causes the battery drain in our smart phone no matter what ROM to are in.
They are mainly 3things. 1. Data usage, 2. Screen brightness and 3. GPS. So if you turn off data, turn the brightness down and turn off GPS. You will get pretty good battery performance in all Roms.

for the moment stay with stable CM10...in CM11 are a lot of bugs...today it's working nice...tomorrow it's unusable...
no need for 3rd party software for battery saving...all ROM's have ok battery life...but on stock is a noticeable difference.
Thanks for the replies. After leaving the phone idling for most of the morning I've noticed it's not sleeping. BBS is showing KWL is mdm_hsic_pm0
I've been trawling the net trying to figure out what it is, but everything I've read turns into a dead end. In the android battery stats it shows as Android OS. If i reboot the phone it seems to put it back in check, but obviously I don't want to be rebooting my phone all day!
Got very minimal apps running so it's really confuddling me.
Cheers in advance
I'm having serious battery issues that just started out of nowhere. I'm currently only getting about 4 hours of light use before having to recharge.
I'd like to look at what apps are using the battery but there are only 5 apps listed and they add up to only 27% (the highest is screen at 12%).
Phone is not rooted and I haven't loaded any new apps recently.
I noticed this as well. I used to use Better Battery Stats when I was rooted, so I didn't know if it was normal to act this way or not. Sounds like it isn't.
Currently having the same issue. Seems like my battery started tanking right around Christmas. I got a Huawei watch and originally suspected that but turning it off and leaving it home for a day didn't seem to help. The battery stats on the S6 are garbage and I can't track down what is going on.
Been noticing the same issue on my G920A. I tried doing a cache clear, but that doesn't seem to have helped. I went through all the running apps and services to try and find anything that could be eating the battery, but nothing seems to be reported that adds up to the amount that's getting eaten.
I use greenify for handling the hibernation of apps when they don't seem to act right by themselves, but since the phone isn't rooted, I have to manually run this operation - and that really doesn't help much anyway. Figured I'd add my experience to this thread just as a means of documenting the situation.
Hello everybody,
I saw probably every review on youtube about this device but none of them can satisfy my questions.
Every phone that i had was great at the beginning, smooth, quick, good battery and no problem... But with the time, i used to install a lot of application, used a lot of memory (SD) and leave my phone always awake. This lead me to have, after few month, always my phone super slow and have an huge battery drain. i Tried custom rom, tried cyanogen, nothing changed (first flash than super slow)
Is this phone fast, stable and with good battery life even full filled with apps?
I dream to buy a phone and put my every stuff once, zero factory reset, zero grenify or amplify... only usability.
If some of you use the smatphone like me, please give some advices.
I would like to comparing it to iphone 7, cause is the smartphone that is more near to my requests.
Thanks guys for your time
Go for it! But keep in mind that every update should be followed by a factory reset. So you shouldn't update your phone for your habits. Cheers!

Every storage hardware suffers from this issue, its not phone related or OS related..
when the memory of the phone fills the software needs more time to do stuff on the device such as opening apps, transfering files, etc.. its same like when you have a closet filled with clothes, if you have 1 jacket in the closet its easy to find it, you see it first and you just take it but if your closet is filled up with bunch of clothes its harder to find that jacket and you need more time to find it and take it
Computers suffer from this too, HDD and SSD but HDD suffer more because they are slower so if you dont want this to happen you need to keep your phone clean, dont fill up the storage to max and keep unistalling apps you dont use, same as pictures and music...
maybe one day we invent something which wont suffer from this but until time you're in bad luck

Thanx for the answers but you didn't understood my question.
Of course memories slow down if filled, but a smartphone have to be used, if I have to keep it clean all the time it kill the usability.
background operations are the one that slow down mostly, this is why a smartphone with few apps is more quick. But powerful and well developed phones have to remains quick.
Im searching advises from the ones that use the smartphone hardly,so I can try to understand how it's op3 under real stress.
Thanks for the time.

You wont notice any lag or slow downs trust me
I just switched from a Moto Z Play to this phone. I love this phone but the battery is crap in comparison. If you want a phone that will get you through the day NO MATTER WHAT, check out Moto Z Play. There IS performance trade off though. As there will always be.

The OP is talking about he likes to install a maximum number of apps and is having serious battery drain and asked if this phone is for him.
Based off what he is asking I'd have to say no. It may be the way *he* uses the phone as opposed to the phone itself. But, he is asking for HIMSELF, and not for you.
I am not really a "power" user who is on my phone all day, but I do use my phone a lot. I text a so-so amount, make a lot of 1 minute phone calls for work, play a game here or there and listen to Pandora or Play Music for about 4-5 hours. The phone does not last me all day. I get about 3-4 hours SOT when all is said and done. I don't even use apps like Facebook or Messenger although I do use Instagram....
This same usage pattern would yield me about 50-60% battery life on my Z Play at the end of the day, where as I can't get through the day without charging my 3T.
It isn't a knock on the phone. It just has a smaller battery and worse power management due to the Z Play's processor.
If the guy wants to come on here and say he loves to fill his phone up with apps and always encounters battery drain without analyzing his usage patterns and how he can improve them, why not suggest him a phone that will make it through the day even if he wants to install it full of apps and have it wakelock every minute?
You are correct, it's definitely not the phone, it's the user for sure

Those stat are awesome!
In my current phone im using greenify + amplify + sd maid, what did you do for reach that results?
I'm not against optimize the phone in order to have better stats, the problem is that every time you get a new sw release you have to do everything again...
I have arch linux in the ultrabook, i have configured it once. it is a rolling release OS so i don't need to do it again. In that situation I'm happy to do it, in fact i reached the same battery life of windows (even little more).
In android instead, every update i have to configure everything again... hoping that there aren't bugs or problems...
I'm against factory reset, cause it means wasting days for configurations...
Hi,
I used it for a month, tested every single feature and setting, enabled all the services I could find, there were two updates (the one which added options to slo mo camera and security update) etc.
Would it be a good idea (for the battery, performance) to reset before starting using it normally?
since i bought this phone i never factory resetted it, and everything working smooth and consistently getting 6-9 hours SOT (depending if im on wifi or 4G)
so its not really necessary, unless ur phone lags or u get bad battery life
It's performing well. SOT is usually 3hrs in my case.
I just don't feel good because file system is a mess (so many folders I have no idea what a they for.. might be left after I tested all the apps and services for Note 9), I feel like all apps and Samsung services are syncing data.
