[Q] Stock ROM battery drain after playing with Maclaw ROMS

After playing around with some Maclaw ROMS (cm10.2 and cm11) I went back to stock ROM. However I had big battery drains after that.
I did a complete wipe of user and cache and dalvik. I installed stock firmware with Odin. Did it over again with KIES. But still a big battery drain. Like 15% an hour. No apps installed other than the bloatware the in the firmware.
I've read somewhere about someone else who had the same issue, but I cannot find it anymore.
Anyone an idea?

Maybe you should try to format all partitions in recovery (except your internal and external SD card of course) and reflash the stock firmware.
By the way, 15% an hour is quite normaal for me.

Custom Roms battery drain, can be the 1ghz bug .
when you did alot off playing ( such as flashing from rom to rom an formatting again in a few hours. it cost you battery .
And now back on stock rom. Try to load your battery again to 100 % and see what will happen after it .
Stock rom = 100 % - 0% battery --> +- 20 hours
Custom roms= can do it longer.
but if you are a heavy caller, gamer. the battery will be down faster .

I've had the same problem. I updated the working 10.1 october version to the december version. After switching back to october version the failure was still there. Only way to solve it was a new battery - but it costs only about 10 € ...

i think that it is true that rom by itself is still buggy with cpu governer bug that causes to be stuck on 1ghz without dropping to 200mhz on the other side...when i try another version i shall make my jugdement more clearly

i got this problem on 02.13 release when i update to 02.16 problem was solved. didnt update 02.18 yet

Perhaps you should also consider the lifetime and usage of your battery. After months of charging and discharging once or twice a day, it´s not so unnormal that a battery goes weak...which has imho directly nothing to do with the used software...

Thanks for the reply.
I charged again to 100 % en let it go to 0%. It took about 9 hours, AIRPLANE MODE!!!
Checked CPU with CPU spy: it goes to deep sleep.
No apps installed except the bloatware the Samsung firmware comes with (and CPU spy).
Maybe it's just my battery gone bad/dead at the same time I tested the Maclaw roms. I already ordered a new one (2450 mAh!), but it takes about a month to get here (if it arrives all together; I live on a tiny little island).
However... I also noticed I do not have network coverage some times. Just no network. Could it be that if you flash it with Odin/Kies not everything is wiped and reinstalled? Like modem drivers (although it's strange the drain also occurs in airplane mode). To make it more complicated: I just moved to another place, so maybe the coverage is worse around here.
I just hate it if I can't pinpoint the problem

Hi,
I think you are on 1ghz bug if you have custom rom.
When you are on stock. This is not normale, your battery is going bad
Where did you bought a new one, im looking for a new one also.

Tried the 02.16 cm11 release => no change. Think my battery is just gone. I'll wait for the new one to arrive and will see then.

Hi!, I'm having the same issue here:
-Super-battery drain, specially when restarting the phone, huge 20% drops.
-Phone looses signal inexplicably,5 bars and suddenly dead, restarting solves the problem, but when signal drops, the battery starts getting HOT, even on IDLE.
-Im using Carbon 4.4.2 KitKat ROM on S3Mini I8190L.
Battery was working quite well with Cyano 11 about 3 months ago, switched to MIUI ROM because a friend recommended it, ROM started to be unstable, laggy and battery life wasn't great, had the same "signal lost" issues. Then downloaded the Carbon ROM and everything went worse.
-I always do full wipe, (davlik, data, interal storage, everything).
Any ideas?

Severe Battery Drain after Marshmallow update

My phone (Spice Uno) use to last 2 days on standby with wifi enabled on lollipop but ever since the marshmallow update it can't barely last more than 14 hrs that too on standby let alone usage . Factory reset hasn't helped either. Any body else facing the same issue? Whats the fix?

battery drain is subjective since not all users have this issue. I advice you to downgrade to lollipop or kitkat until google sends out a fix.

How old is your phone? Could this be the battery going out?

I think you should reflash the marshmallow rom in your device.
May be the issue reolves after that.

I was having the same issue on upgrading to marshmallow. I cleared the dalvik cache and normal cache and that fixed it.

I'm having same issue. Android One Mito Impact A10 for Indonesia is being kept awake all the time after the update to Android M. Its battery life becomes poorer. Not being able to enter deep sleep mode kills the battery overnight. :/
Factory reset, using only preinstalled app, minimum push notification and location access, and using no external sdcard didn't help at all.

spice dream uno is suffering!!

Having the same problem on my Karbonn Sparkle V. I even tried it on Aeroplane Mode but the problem is still there. I'm also having CPU overheating issues.
Not a device problem, my phone was fine last week when I was on Lollipop.

Try to reboot your phone to safe mode. Let it sit for a while, then open the Battery to see if "Awake" is still active. If not, reboot your phone again. This worked for me

Guys try this,
Remove your Google account from the device and your battery life will be better than ever.
For some reason the phone tries to keep syncing even if that is disabled.
Same issue with Nexus and they are waiting to get the next update which will have the fix.
Drawback: your recent's and favorite contacts will not show the names
caller ID will not show the name of the caller
but the phone will work well

The same issue here. I have Micromax Android One. On Lollipop, a 8hr standby drained just 2 or 3% battery. And now on Marshmallow, a 3 hr standby sucks 10-15%!!!

Its not subjective in this case. Almost all users after the update are facing this issue. If the battery is 100% at bedtime, in the morning it drops to 80%. This is indeed bad.
If google doesn't send a fix soon, better to downgrade to lollipop else it may even kill the battery for good. But then those who have started to take advantage of the adoptable storage feature will loose all their data on the sd card.

Guys do you plan to downgrade to 5.1.1 ? I am not rooted but have the OTA zip file.

I had similar problems with battery drain. I just factory reset my device and its all gone. 1% battery drain yesterday night(8 hrs).

The first charge cycle after reset works fine..but it gets back to draining on the second and third cycle.. I have already reset 3 times. Can't revert back to 5.1.1 the new stock recovery appears to be locked some how..

Did you dirty flash? If so try factory resetting your device, anyway android n it's still in the beta stage for p9 lite so expect some downside

I have a VNS-L31 device and currently on B336 version. My battery life is super awesome now. Even though standby drops some percentage. When I use it, basically I can get 6 hours of screen on time with mobile data (4G). So no problem so far.

I've read around the internet that the cause could be the geo-localization when there is no WiFi nor mobile data.
I have your same problem during the night time. This night I'm going to try to deactivate also the localization together with WiFi and mobile data to see what happens.
I will update you.
Anyway this is a beta so I think also that it is normal to have this kind of problem. I'm sure that this will be fixed in future versions.

hey Guys, I can confirm I am experiencing the same battery drain as well - Android OS is taking from 10-20% of battery usage and is always on the top. I'm in official BETA project with build 336 and despite factory reset and few other 'tricks' I still have this drain. Not sure if I receive any beta update, I will have to probably wait for stable release If anyone resolves the issue, please post it here

Awesome!!!

Android N vs RR
Hi all! This is my first post on this forum ?
So i just wanted to ask your experiences about battery life on these two ROMS: stock android n (vns-l31c432b336 and latest RR build.
If your tried both of these which one you recommend for better battery life? Im not so much into all of these RRs customization options and im gonna install ROM with best battery life. 4g always on, surfing and whatsuppin usually.

I am not sure about RR, but on B336 the worst result was around 5h SOT on LTE/WiFi (mixed) plus Spotify and YT a lot

Hi. I've been having problems with the battery life, especially about standby time. Battery has been draining at an alarming rate on standby. Any help?

I have been searching for Android OS battery drain in standby since January but still havent found any.

I dont know why most you guys have a problem with the battery... I had high battery drain but somehow I solved the problem. The only thing I did was disabling the 4G option and my battery life is awesome on N. At least for now...
Now I have 0-2% battery drain overnight.

I have one question for you, can you compare N and MM (according to you experience) of battery drain with 4G ON and OFF. Do you have more battery drain on N or MM with 4G ON?

Battery draining after oreo updat

Hello everyone,
I received Oreo update 3 days ago and I have noticed that my battery is draining since that update. For instance, when I use facebook it drains by 1% every 2 minutes and it was not like that before update. What should I do?
I really need to go back to nogut.
Any help?

I had the same when I first installed Oreo.
Then I went to Settings, Device maintenance , Battery, Battery usage and found that android system drained my battery. I un-ticked "Allow background activity" and fixed draining.
You may also give it some time to calibrate battery measurement.
After 6 days with Oreo, I can say it's a little bit better than Nougat regarding battery.

Do you use the built-in app power monitor in settings/battery?

Use Betterbatterystats to see what's going on. Additionally, try a day or two with wifi turned off. I had huge battery drains on nougat when wifi was on and with it off I got 5 days on a single charge!! Maybe the same bug carries over to Oreo? Not sure, but worth a try if you can afford the data usage.

I'm having the same issue, and it's not like Device Maintenance and BetterBatteryStats are showing anything suspicious at all. One night idle time is nice, then on other nights i find it having a decrease of 15%.

Your Android System drain is way too high...something wrong there for sure...

If you haven't already, do a full wipe/ factory reset. This fixes most problems, including battery drain, after a major update.

Wow!! Android system is killing it. Dude, I had the same issue on nougat. Not sure if it'll work on Oreo, but try it: turn off wifi completely. Use cellular if you can for a day or two. Do this after a full recharge so battery stats have resetted so you can see if that makes a difference.
Also, use Betterbatterystats and give it permissions on adb. Post screenshots from that. The one you posted already isn't telling at all.

I downgraded it to Nogut and I think I am fine now. F**k this update. I think this company is intending this sh*t to push up its sales.

Fix for battery drain for Note 8 after upgrading Oreo
1) Go to settings
2) Go to Apps
3) Click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner.
4) Select "Reset App Preferences"
5) Power your phone off and on again and the battery draining problem should be fixed.

Have you tried it on your own ?

Yes. I am on my phone right now and have been on YouTube this evening with normal battery drain. After the update yesterday my battery was draining for no reason and I had to charge my phone three times. I remembered this fix from the last update when I didn't want to reset my device. I figured it had something to do with all of the Apps utilizing my location, so I wanted to do a reset of the Apps without resetting my device and it worked.

Phone Services consume 34% or more under battery usage

Is this a normal consumption? I cant upload pic. Still dont have permission to upload...

Now I am trying to pinpoint the responsible apps update which increase the "Phone Services" battery drain.
Current status,
After I delete cache partition and reset to factory setting from recovery menu...
my Phone Services consistently stays at 3.27% usage.
Note:
Last time, after I update every apps on google play, the Phone Services always stays on 34.7% usage. If the usage increase to 34.7%, then if I turned on bluetooth, location and NFC, the battery drain is very noticeable with increased heat.
Currently I have not yet do any update. Trying to find the responsible apps. Any one have the same issue?
