Fb is a battery drainer. Also factory reset your phone if you restored apps from an old phone . Keep stock apps for a few days and see how it goes and report back.

Check for latest phone updates and app updates (both play store and Samsung app store). May be bad signal or wifi?

I9000 India (2G) Battery Life

Hey guys,
I bought Galaxy S on Oct 2. In various threads I have seen people say they get 1-3 days on 3G with some gaming and all day active data connections.
In bangalore we have only EDGE(2G) and I use my phone only for calling(15-30mins) and texting(25-30) with some minimal Facebook access....I allow my battery to charge all night and start my day around 8:30 in the morning and my battery doesn't even last till midnight....its somewhere around 20% at night.
is this normal or should I visit the Samsung service center ?
Also can somebody suggest me a good site which ships additional batteries to bangalore ?. I tried spider-foot.com and their shipment has reached me even after 20 days.....
I'm currently in Bangalore too. But my SGS's battery life is most certainly worse than yours... Beginning to wonder if this is a local issue ?
Same issue here.. Blame the Network Quality in India?
Even i faced the issue initially.after one month i find it okay. May be i am consoling myself.
I never felt the advantage of having 1500mah battery.
God bless sgs users

when i was in india, i was a heavy SGS user and i did get through the day on a single charge.
i had push updates on for gmail, exchange mail, twitter and facebook. #i never logged in to gtalk though.
half an hour of calls and a lot of browsing....
so from 8 to 6, i would still have close to 40% battery remaining....
The battery on the SGS has some calibration issues or I dont really know, there are times I get good battery life and times I lose 1% per hour of idle, sometimes I reboot my phone I either lose or gain anywhere from 15-30%.. pretty random.. But with 2.1 I had a constant battery life though.
my biggest fear is that now with 3G being rolled out this one day wonder will become a one hour wonder
Come on guys....we pay 28K and dont even get a freaking day of juice!!!
Whats the use a superb device with no power......should have bought the N8 instead.....

and buy a bettery pack if you have complaints....

[Q] Galaxy note screen flickering and fake battery drain

Hello,
I've recently started having a strange issue with my Galaxy Note. The screen starts to ranomly flicker like crazy and then the device turns off. When I restart the phone it shows that I have 1% battery... which is not true because if left alone the phone starts to "magically" charge on its own over the course of the next 15-30 minutes. I've read that the flickering screen occurs when the battery is low and the screen tries to maintain its brightness, but this isn't my case as i've had this happen even at 80% battery charge.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've already tried restoring to factory settings to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance !
Yep, I experienced this last month. I had my galaxy note for just over one year when I started to have this problem.
Sent it back to Samsung and they fixed it free under the two year warranty (EU law). It seems to be an issue they are aware of. My battery now lasts a couple days and everything is back to normal. 4 day turn around for the repair straight to my door.
Give Samsung customer service a call A.S.A.P.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! I will contact them immediately and hope to get things fixed as soon as possible.
I'm actually thinking of selling it in favor of an S2, as this is the second time my note breaks down. Everyone with S2 doesn't seem to have a single problem

The S2??? I would prefer the S3 or Note 2. Jelly bean will probably be the last update for the S2 and possibly the N7000!
Make sure when you call the service department that you explain the issue as you have here on the forum... Don't say that you think the battery is gone... As with my repair it wasn't the battery... They said they changed a chip set or something like that.... Plus even if it is the battery, they are more likely to just replace it for free if you plead ignorance!
P.S. The best way to say thanks is to use the "thanks" button next to my post!

Hm, this is what is now happening to me as well ... Not cool, will see, whether it lasts, or it was just temporary ..., as it looks to me it happens when I leave Wifi switched on.
Edit: The SGN started to do it all the time, it is fine only while charging, looks like battery is going to dye ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061307&highlight=flickering, so looking for replacement .

Galaxy S6 AT&T 64GB Dies instantly, Deepsleep or hardware problem?

Hay guys,
Edited: on 07/07/2016: Problems First; My AT&T Galaxy S6, reboots randomly, dies instantly and some times freezes, doesn't matter what app i am on. The full story is here if interested, please read below;
I bought a used AT&T Galaxy S 6, 64 GB Black sapphire, Now running 6.0.1 (i sideloaded it) and it has a problem which you guys call it deep sleep problem (I call it, dying phone with no reason) when i bought it, it was running 5.1.1 then (probably BOJ7), and the second day i noticed that it was dead, (i remember i was taking some selfies, pictures, i locked it and after more or less 15 or 20 minutes i wanted to take some more pics, i saw it was not waking up). And to my surprise, I have checked it, when i call the number which is in that phone, the call goes and i can listen on my other phone that the bill is ringing but actually my device doesn't ring at all (while dead) (I have also seen once that the notification LED was blinking Blue, yet the phone was off, itself)
So, story short when i saw the device was unexpectedly off i tried to switch it on by the following methods;
i pressed all the button many times but it didn't respond until, i pressed and kept holding recovery boot combination i.e. volume down + volume up + Power buttons and it booted.
Later on it was good, after two days, it did it again.
Now my concern was rising about Galaxy S6's sudden deaths, (I still don't know whether i should call it a deep sleep and awake problem or it is something related to hardware) so, i thought lets find a way and upgrade it to MM. I searched the xda and found this
Updating to Android 6.0.1 G920AUCU3CPD6 Step by Step {http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/updating-to-android-6-0-1-g920aucu3cpd6-t3371884}
I upgraded my phone and thought it's fine now, but to my surprise, the phone went off while it was in my pocket with almost 70% battery charged. I was shocked, yet started it with the buttons combo, and yesterday when i left it charging while the battery was about 87% charged, I thought let it go to 100% but when i picked it up after 15 minutes and pushed the home button to see the status the phone was dead again with a RED LED light on while the screen was off, when i pressed the home OR power button the screen showed a big green battery with 100 % Charge (which was indicating as i powered it off and kept charging)
Now my question is that " What the hell is going on?"
If it was a rooting problem? Then, I did an odin flash of BOJ7 with all four files AP, CP, CSC and his child. which should have removed the rooting, and to confirm it whether my device is rooted or the KNOX tripped or not, i have checked the knox it is 00000 which means the KNOX is not tripped.
Please help me guys, this was my dream phone, i can't buy a new one with warranty, and i can't loose it or live it with this problem, my days suck.
please help me,
And today I've seen a new thing may be it's the real problem but I really got it today. I was surfing the net and twitter my AT&T Galaxy S6 suddenly went off and I had to force start it.
Hay guys, i need your help, am i missing you all?
Hay guys, Talvigi back,
As far as no body is interested in my post and may be no one has faced such problem before, so, i am back with some updated information;
Day before Last night, I was very much worried about my phone's behaviour, even i was thinking to show it's way out. But when i was a bit asleep yet awaken i thought way not try to factory reset the device from recovery, formate system devlock and cache partitions?
And i did it while i was half asleep and let the device update it's builtin softwares and WOLLA, it's second day my beloved AT&T specific Galaxy S6 hadn't misbehaved yet, (till now, may be it will make me lying just now)
Edit: (Third Day):
Third Day guys its third day and still my phone has not misbehaved after the above mentioned factory reset, and i hope this will continue to work like that.
Edit: Fifth day:
Sorry Sammy boy but you are a sucking OEM, after two good days my AT&T Galaxy S6 is again misbehaving with me, it again deep slept, just after seconds when i was surfing the facebook and i got lock my device for some seconds. As soon as i wanted to unlock it again i saw that the device was once again not waking up hence i had to push both volume and power buttons to start it.
And it did the same thing while it was kept on my table for a couple of hours.
It's now making me crazy to sell it again and go for a galaxy S5, it least i haven't seen this problem, i actually haven't listened this kinda problem in them from any where.
Edit; Now after a lot of days of sudden deaths and instant restarts, it has started to freeze now, I have not seen this before. I mean when I am using facebook it freezes but doesn't restart as far as I have seen it twice with freeze problem. Now I can say that it is indeed a software problem may be we can suggest it to be a kernel related problem.
So is it because I might have used a 32 GB specific ROM on a 64 GB device?
Is there a real difference between 64 GB and 32 GB ROM.
Hell with the AT&T Galaxy S6.

Sorry man, @hyelton: but you are the great hero for me,
You have been so much helpful to me as well as to many others i have seen,
And to tell the truth, i didn't tag you to help me specifically on this problem,
but i knew you will be the only one to notice me in this crap.
And i believe you have read my problem and have at least thought once, about my situation, haven't you?
And i also know you can off course guide me, or lead me a way through.
Please don't be rude, i beg your kind honour to please suggest me a way out there, any way out! :crying::fingers-crossed::crying::fingers-crossed:
Because there are many people in this forum but you can see no one, no one even noticed my problem.
Hello, I was tagged in your threads and received the notification while I was sleeping. First of all my Galaxy S6 was bought by me on May 6 2015 at an Official AT&T Store, the same Store were, nine years ago, I open a contract account for mobile service. Before Android phones I was a Blackberry user. Never root a phone, never side loaded a Google Platform Upgrade, never bought a used phone. The only time I bought a phone outside an Official AT&T Store was when I bought a brand NEW Google Nexus 5 at Amazon and God knows that my former Nexus 5 was the best phone I ever owned. I always owned the top of the line Blackberry, the Bold series. And all my formers Android phones bought at AT&T were Flagships phones at the moment I bought them. OK now, I read all your threads and when you applied a Factory Data Reset you do, in my humble opinion, the right thing . Unfortunately the problem at your phone is beyond a Factory Data Reset. My advise is that you must go to an AT&T Official Store and ask for a new Nano Sim Card. If that's not work go to an Official Samsung Repair Store or Center. If that's not work, then my friend, take out the Nano Sim Card of your Galaxy S6 and bought a NEW Google Nexus 6p directly from Google or Amazon and push the Nano Sim Card in. You are going to have peace on earth running a Google Nexus phone at AT&T. Remember my fried, NEVER AGAIN buy an used phone and by the way don't side loaded Google Platform Upgrade. Just wait for the OTA regarding Platform Upgrade. I'm really sorry for the bad experience with your Galaxy S6.

Thank You sir for such a detailed reply, my bad luck with S6 is that I love it so much but when it comes to your life you will better lose your eyes. I think I will somehow sell it back and will not buy any second hand phone again.

My friend please don't lose your eye and work hard so you can buy a brand new Samsung Flagship, Galaxy S7 or a Note 6. Don't forget, far beyond the Manufacturers Flagships, far beyond your worst nightmare is the Google Nexus Phone .

Well thanks for the suggestion but do you know, I will have to work 8 hours a day for five month and save 50% of that earnings, if I want to buy a brand new Galaxy S7, and for you my dear, that would be not more then 15 days half earning or 8 days full. So, to buy a flagship, in my dreams! Yet I will try to manage on a Huawei X5 or oppo F1

My dear friend at 16 years old I left my parents house and work hard and studied hard. Now I'm 60 years old and still work hard. That's the way life goes, don't fight it. You are a good person , work hard and enjoy your life and all the Android phones you are going to have.

Well, guys i somehow have been able to maintain my device to keep away from all those misbehavings which it had to do all the time. But i don't want to exaggeratedly lie that they are gone now, they are here, and they also sometimes show there faces but rarely, very rarely indeed. It all could happen after a couple of factory resets and keeping the device away from auto updates mostly from googleplaystore.
Well I have ODIN back and now i'm back on 5.1.1 BOJ7. And surprisingly the reboots are still here, I think, will have to kill my wish of being on Galaxy S6 for some more months and I will have to go back to the market and buy a LG G4 or Galaxy S5 may be?
People say their experience with Marshmallow has not been good but i would mine was the worst with S 6.
I think this device has a factory fault, but as far as i have bought it in used condition and the device is an AT&T device, that too out of the US, so samsung would surely won't help me, neither i have any warranty here.
I hat you Samsung/AT&T for making such a piece of crap.
Any body in this world has the same kind of problem with the Galaxy S6 AT&T 64 GB, or I am alone?

Anyone on Sprint having network issues with their Note 8?

My issue seems to pop up when LTE is in use. After using it, LTE will jus stop working for a couple minutes. Signal will still be there and LTE but won't work. Thinking about getting a replacement but I wanna see if any other Sprint users have had this problem

When connected to LTE it doesn't load fast like with ur note 8. But I'm not having the 3g issue. Still a problem though
After calling Sprint again today to look into this issue...they were baffled and could not figure it out so a ticket was created for Tech support to call me back in 5 - 7 business days.
I got off the phone and did some more trouble shooting on my own again. I starred at the phone for awhile and got a wild thought abt my lil plastic case I had on the phone...and sure enough thts wht it was. Just a plastic case with separate top an bottom peices tht was plastic to look like metal...and i do believe that thm 2 lil pieces on my case was interfering with the signal. I have the exact same case on my iPhone 7 Plus jus a different color and there is no interference at all. I took the case off and hav had the best signal...full bars and LTE ever since...All this time it was the case that was purchased from Sprints website. So I will be taking the case back because my phone is now completely naked lol and I need a new one. Problem solved!

Well..... back again. Same issues. Pages load at a snail pace. LTE cute in n out. Downloads seem to be unaffected though. I did a speed test and got this result...
Just returned my Note 8 today before the 14 day period. Had multiple issues with network...and multiple calls with tech support.
No calls coming through, straight to vm...double texts. Getting a replacement in a couple days, hoping for much better experience.
Had issues before i put a case on it. Tech support did all the usual reset, reactivation, *720, 730, 740, multiple prl and profile updates. Figured it was only going to get worse. Didn't want to risk not being able to return. $35 restocking...oh well. Back to my trusty note 2 for a couple days
Sprint tech and manager tried to tell me that that practically the whole city had tower issues and that the phone was working as its supposed to. I use the phone for work, so reliability is important. Sprint store did everything in their power to prevent a return. Diagnostics run on some Windows 95 laptop was a joke.

Ssame here. Really annoying. I wanna keep the phone but these issues r really getting to me. My replacement was fine for the first week or so, then right back to the BS. Not sure if it is Cache issue or Wut. But it starting out fine then going to this is really odd. Also, I uninstalled all apps that i had recently installed and nothing

Tried to post of pic of download speeds but can't do it. I'm getting 108 mb down and 3mb up. Not sure wut the issue is with LTE but that is .ore than enough to do simple tasks like web browsing
I was able to get a better download speed from turning enhanced LTE on by using shortcut master lite and searching lte....the setting is
com.samsung.networkui.usa.EnhancedLteServices
Under mobile networks...
Just search EnhancedLteServices in shortcut master lite to enable and see if it helps you

Still the same but I have noticed something wierd.. So my LTE issues always come when I'm surfing the web in chrome or the Samsung browser, pages slow to load sometimes not loading at all. Blue bar jus moves like a snail. And if I go to another like youtube to watch a video it loads up jus fine. Odd...

At a loss.

So, where do I begin? I got this device a year ago, last February to be exact. Never really cared about SOT until recently, where I noticed I've been getting around 2-3 hours. Now I know that's bad, and I tried many suggested solutions:
Tried many kernels.
Used MicroG, hoping it was Google Services.
Tried many ROMs, from N to O. (Each was a clean flash)
Checked Wakelocks and blocked them.
Used AKT Profiles which favour battery.
Tried changing CPU Governor Profiles.
I am at a loss on what to do. I've checked my Battery Health, which is at an approximate 82% of health. Should be no problem there. I've also been using the Included Dash Charger since I got the Device.
My last option is to use the Unbrick tool to have a fresh start, since nothing else literally fixed the issue. I've never really paid attention to the SOT, but after seeing other results, I've noticed that I plug my phone in at least twice a day.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Do you game or use social media apps?
I only use brave browser, WhatsApp, no gaming and I have 50gigs local music that use daily basis. I get usually +/-6h SOT and 3 days of standby time without plugging charger.
Setup I've been running for a while:
ROM:
https://lineage.microg.org
Kernel:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pment/kernel-caesium-kernel-op3-op3t-t3672090
No root, stock settings and encryption enabled. If you try these and get a lot different results your battery must gone bad. My 3T is also bought last Feb.
How's your signal coverage in your area?

Nope, no gaming. Tested PUBG Mobile once, but after seeing how bad it looks, I uninstalled it. Social Media would be - Instagram and Snapchat. Each just less than 5 min an hour or so.
Currently switching in between any 8.1 ROM (NOS, Bootleggers, etc)
P.S - 50Gigs of Music, what do you listen to? xD

Living in the Capital City. Main SIM gets full bars of LTE, while secondary Data SIM gets full 3G coverage.
Then I would change battery, as it isn't hard. But I don't know how easy it is to find legit one. I changed my friends op3 battery that he bough from eBay, and it seems to be okay.
But assuming you have warranty, you could ask OP live chat how much it will costs to change.
And I have about 2500 songs in FLAC format that's why it's eating space.

Probably will have to do that. Was it hard? Can I do it at home?
OnePlus doesn't ship or anything to my country, and I bought my phone off of a reseller. Warranty is already expired, since it's been over a year. Oh well. Any links you got for a replacement battery?

It's not hard and you can do it home, battery is glued but it wasn't that hard to pull off. And youtube is full of tutorials.
Actually i got that link what my friend ordered. Comes with all the necessary tools to open your phone.
