So, I really love this phone. Despite not being able to get it sim unlocked yet, I find that I'm even more satisfied with it than I expected. There's just one glaring issue: Battery drain, specifically at idle.
I have tried everything: Uninstalled/disabled all apps that I didn't need, used App Opps to turn off "keep awake" for just about everything that I could. Nothing works. Last night, I left it off the charger with 100% and 8 hours later, it was down to 50%. It loses 5-7%/hr at idle without doing anything at all. I'm in a high signal area. I tried charging it to full and turning off wifi. That had no effect either.
I'm seriously torn between wanting to return it because I can't even get through a single day on a charge and really wanting to keep it because the camera and screen are so awesome. I'm sure there will be an update down the road that will fix this and I don't think my device is defective. This drain definitely isn't normal.
Do a hard reset and see if that works.
If not take it in to tmobile, do a hard reset there And let it sit for 20 minutes and show them the idle battery drain.

I'm not wiping my brand new phone that has been doing this since I pulled it out of the box. A hard reset is not the answer to everything. There's definitely something wrong with the the software build.
It's my fault, of course. I should have added "in b4 do a hard reset" at the end of my post.
I know it sucks but try and tough it out. There is a massive issue relating to WiFi on this device right now. I am doing some testing but I think proof can be found in that when you turn off WiFi but WiFi calling was enabled in the dropdown you will fail to get cellular signal back at all. It will stay "Searching" all the time.

Yeah, I have tried leaving Wifi off completely, but I'm still draining pretty fast. The problem is, the phone is almost unusable for me like this because I can't even make it to the end of the day if I use it at all. And since I rooted, any update they release is going to be a pain to apply.
I blame 5.01, to be honest. The best thing Samsung could do is rush out a 5.1 update.
Same thing was happening to my phone out of the box as well, something was keeping it from deepsleep, did a hard reset, put all the same apps on. Now it sleeps like a baby.
I should note that battery life still isn't great but it does last me through a whole day, still getting high cell stand by drain.

Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/general/discuss-battery-problem-t3071622
and self-diagnose and help us find a workaround and/or the source of the problem!
Glad to hear the factory reset seems to be working. Let's work together to try to narrow this down and not result to attacking each other
From the Moderator
OK People, Cleaned this chaos and trolling.......
Post respectfully or ........DO NOT POST........... easy
To your battery issues......... these issues are pretty much the same with all phones, so the fixes are pretty much the same\
Hard rest
Go into the menu and disable apps that are pinging GPS
Freeze apps that you do not need -if you are rooted then use titanium back up to freeze or other app that does the same - if you are rooted I would disable any updates from the Carrier or Samsung- that means disabling the patches/apps that control those.
Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when not using it
Avoid leaving social media apps running in the background they can be battery hogs.......
This is what was recommended in 2010 ........... still pretty much good advice ........
The next person that posts disrespectfully or trolls will be met with an infraction
Keep kind and civil and ON TOPIC ONLY
Thanks ~~~ oka1
I have had zero problems with this phone's battery, but then again I always factory reset after an update. Got the 177MB update, installed, FDR, and butter ever since.
I get about 6 hours SOT with heavy use.

Dude, I was having the same exact problem with my S6. First, I disabled all of the apps I wasn't using. Next, I turned off wifi-calling. After that, I turned of VOLTE in the phone app. Last I backed up my music, pics, contacts, and sms's, and done a hard reset. I restored my stuff and completely charged it up. Now I am only loosing about 1% or less an hour at idle. I charged it up at 12, left it sitting and 3.5 hours later it's on 97%. That is quite an improvement for me as my S6 would be below 50% in the morning if I left it off of the charger over night for 6 or 7 hours......Just my two-cents to try and help. Good luck bro...

I wanted to add that this didn't start happening to me until after the OTA was installed, before that, it was good to go for a whole day so the OTA does something to knock things off track.

How do you do factory reset? When I go into settings-backup and reset, hit reset- it gives me the warning and I proceed then the phone just shuts down, and nothing happens.
Method 2 - I power off, then hold vol up, home and power, until this logo comes up and then it goes black. I am strating to think that there is something wrong with my stock recovery.
thoughts?
Did you try to root at some point?

Haven't several people said that the Cell Standby issue only started to appear after the update? I would wait on the update a bit to see if you have any battery issues just for the sake of knowing. Then update and see if it makes a difference.

It's not the update. The problem is VoLTE and WiFi calling. Turn those off and it goes away. I'm on the update and have no high cell drain since doing that.

The "Phone idle" process in this phone is drainage a lot of battery, about 20% average. I understand for Android 6 Google have stricter requirements to list battery stats, but since this device don't have that yet I don't really know what's really causing it.
It's not a big deal yet because the battery life is very good on it's own, so I still have plenty of battery after the end of the day. For now I will try disabling all the gesture features and see if that's the culprit.
I've heard that if you have a lousy LTE signal where you spend most of your time, your phone constantly looks for a better signal and that process drains the battery. How's your signal strength? Maybe try airplane mode and see if that makes a difference.
battery drain in idle is at least 5-6%. noticed that i had battery up in full charge before going to bed and by the morning it was at 94%. no calls/messages/alarms/notifications during that time. however all background sync tasks were running
Not sure whats causing this . Only getting 4 hours sot. Main reason i got it for my work phone because of battery life. Any tips would be great. I have sync on for work email. And lte and almost anything automatic. Had a moto for work before and got 6 hours of sot

I noticed when I turned on Black Screen Gestures the phone drained a lot faster. I turned it off and disabled a bunch of apps and this is what I got so far.
I am getting very good battery life. Stock everything except for root. Black screen gesture on, google now disabled.

When I rooted my phone, I had to "factory reset" (formatted /data and /cache). I am using sim slot 2 only since I don't want to take the battery out to swap sim if needed. I am not using an SD card.
this is mine . do you see all the Awake . its by android system and idle
this is from the battery monitor app
That's strange.. Something is wrong with that graph for sure.. Have you tried using your phone in safe mode?

how do you disable google now anyways. i only have google now cards turn off i cant find setting to completely disable it.
is this even accurate
1000 mah? instead of 3150mah
I am rooted, I have Greenify, Xposed, and Amplify installed This combination seems to make sure the phone goes in to deep sleep now. Using CPU Spy I was able to see that my phone was not going in to deep sleep very much.

You can disable Google Now by dialing the Google search app. Or if you have a back up, you can delete the priv-app/velvet folder.
I am getting big time phone drain and I don't even have a SIM card in yet. Battery graph says the phone is awake the whole time. I had black screen gestures enabled but I'm gonna try to disable those.
My phone standby is about 10% drop per day. Dual SIM standby, one AT&T , one TMO.
It drained mine as well. What I was able to do in order to offset it was twofold Xposed and 'prevent running' app. Then simply a matter of disabling everything you can think of that will not interfere with booting. I can list what worked for me as far as apps and system apps if you'd like. I have total 57 and testing tomorrow more. Just over half are system apps like play store play services google+, etc...
Doing that saved almost enough to offset near 25-30% average. Idle as yours. Next I simply adjusted my habits with keeping GPS off, WiFi on though even sleeping.
THE biggest issue is Adups spyware comes pre installed on it. It collects every letter typed, site seen, text sent..All of it. Using terminal emulator and pm disable works until reboot. Freezing it seems to trigger more hidden like com.fw.upgrade.fota.sysoper to collect. I tell you as well many claim to remove it I have tried 12 ways. It is a battle and 1 I contacted BLU over this to no avail. Second BLU phone and last. Huawei, Samsung and ZTE also have this installed for this phone they are (at least the known ones)
com.adups.fota
com.adups.fota.sysoper
com.fw.upgade.fota.sysoper
There are more but offhand I forget them. *.quicksearch something and what is not stock browser but similarly named.
*.sysoper anything is assuredly as are anything with adups in the name. Use Mixplorer and sqlitedb viewer and go to /data/data find the folders and look at the db's it is everything. Sent to a server in Shanghai every 72 hours or less
Hey guys, I am running stock 4.0.3 rooted with supersu and using the latest franco kernel. I am getting massive drains even while using the phone on wifi and keeping it on standby, while connected to wifi. Getting drains about 3.3-4% per hour on standby on wifi. This is absolutely crazy. I tried some older suggestions mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62074306&postcount=118 . But even that doesn't work. Battery drain is normal on mobile data, but when connected to wifi it absolutely goes crazy. Can anyone provide any insight? There are no rogue apps, I have been checking through better battery , wld , accu battery, etc.
You've probably already turned it off, but I'll just point it out in the rare instance, but make sure scanning is off. However, I did notice that you said it is when wifi is on and your phone is sleeping when you get that drain. A fix is to go into wifi settings and under "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep", pick the only plugged in option. Ideally, you should get to the bottom of this issue, but if you don't have the time and no one else figures it out, this may help.
EDIT: I wonder if smart wifi switcher has anything to do with it? Wifi connectivity fluctuates and if you have two connections that have very similar signal strength, would your phone constantly switch between the two networks in a futile manner? If this does happen, I can see that draining your battery significantly, but this is based on the premise that the switcher does not have some type of buffer zone where it does not switch if the difference is negligible.

Yep, I always keep scanning off! And i did try with that suggestion too, I changed the setting to never and it still drained battery. Wifi stayed on for sometime even though i set it to never and then finally turns off after a period of time, but i think that could potentially drain more battery? Are you using wifi all the time? What are your stats?
I have all those settings turned off, smart switcher, ipv6, scanning, etc

Last thing I can think of is trying to use stock kernel to see if it is FK that is the culprit. FK shouldn't be the issue, but perhaps something screwed up during the flashing process? Now I'm essentially just asking you to do trial and error

Note that I'm in Beta 3 and running its stock kernel so I don't really see the usefulness of giving my battery stats, but yes, battery life for me has been good and unaffected by wifi draining.

It's most likely not just you, but based on my perusal of the 3T forums (especially on the FK thread because that's most relevant to how you set up your phone), not many people are facing this issue. Does betterbattery stats not show anything funky or out of the ordinary? Can you post a screenshot of your betterybattery stats including the kernel wakelocks, alarms, and partial wakelocks page?

I'm beginning to think it's not wifi, but the app Saavn. It may act differently when on wifi vs on cellular data and remain active constantly when on wifi. I google searched the app and its potential of being poorly optimized app, and there are reports of it never turning off and running in the background. If that is the case, it should be showing up on BBS as more of a drain, but for some reason it isn't. Still, try uninstalling the app and see what happens.
In the end, if this doesn't solve the issue, I'm beginning to think a factory reset maybe in order. I wish you also gave me BBS alarm wakeups page because that would help see if Saavn is constantly firing off alarms or not.
Go to your "Location settings" and into the 3 dot menu in upper right. Turn everything off.

I don't have any option to turn off wifi calling in there. I am running the beta 7.1.1 now though. But the problem still persists. Too much drain when using wifi, it's being shown as android system drain. I've seen many people reporting it, so it's not just me. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what's causing it!
Issue resolved with latest 4.1.0 and some usage pattern changes. Mod, please close the thread. Thank you!
Hi, I'm noticing an abnormal battery consumption when the phone is connected in wifi (about 7-10% per hour in standby) and I can see the lower arrow of data connection always on, so some apps are constantly download data. I have tried to close several apps manually (even system app) but nothing has changed. In 4G instead all is fine. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
I did notice this, too in the newest firmware.
Did even check if there is much traffic (can see it per app in adguard), but nothing.
Workaround for me is to disable wifi if in standby.
(Doesn't help if in usage of cause...)

What apps are showing at the top in battery usage?
Have you thought of installing BBS, there is a version that runs on non-root.
Does RCSService show up in battery usage?
Just in case it might help our op:
After 1day 12 hours (35min SOT):
Standby 11%
Mobile net in standby (sorry need to translate it) 6%
Deezer 6%
AdGuard 4%
Android OS 4%
Android-System 2 %
Bluetooth 1%
Display 1%
--> This should make 35%, but well, the phone shows 60% left, so still 5% are missing (I suppose it's just "other" apps >1%).
Phone still showing 2 days 4 hours to go.

I can see: Google Play services, RCS, Google Play Store, Android Operating System, Chrome, Wifi, Memory.
For installing BBS, for what I could read, you need to install via adb and for now I don't do it.
However, if I reboot the phone when I see this strange behavior, keeping always wifi on, then the phone returns to normal operation, and the battery consumption is normal. The problem starts when I turn on the wifi manually, with the phone already switched on.
Hi,
i have this problem too (not rooted, last firmware).
About 6% / hour if connect the xz1c to wifi.
If i simply restart the phone (with wifi on), it decreases to less than 1% / hour.
Did someone find the cause or a solution?
Thank you.
I opened discussions in Sony Mobile forums:
International
Italian
If you want, write about your issue there.
Maybe it will help to be solved.
Thank you.
Same problem here. I replied in the RCS thread, but on the latest 2 firmwares I lose about 7%/hr (idle drain) with wifi on and less than 1%/hr with wifi off. My phone also gets hot when I keep wifi on while idle. I've solved the problem by keeping wifi off except during large downloads, and I have a high enough data cap for that to be a reasonable option. Still annoying though.
Has anyone checked if there is a difference when WiFi scanning is disabled?
Good day.
I do not currently own a xz1C, but in my Galaxy S8 had the same issue, until i turned off "WiFi scanning" like user 'pseudonym58' said.
I have WIFI scanning OFF.

Hi guys,
yesterday i tried to see if Play Store in XZ1C was updated.
(play store, setting, tap on version)
It wasn't.
Tapping on version, it downloaded last version (8.9.24)
I rebooted the phone.
Battery drain on Wifi seems reduced (with my two modems) or maybe solved.
I'm monitoring the situation and i'll let you know.
Strangely it's 2 or 3 days the problem seems gone, I don't know if the reason for the change is the updating of some app or service. Play Store has been updated yesterday but the problem was already gone before. For now all is ok.
@aerofan
What version is installed now on your device?
(Btw I can press the version 100 times, it always tells me it downloading a new version )

I have 8.9.24.
This is what i did:
I tapped on version.
It said "google play will be updated" (or something similar)
I waited for a while (no notifications or messages appeared)
I came back on google play and tapped on version and it said it was updated.
I rebooted the phone.
Strange, I had an older version installed but it would not update.
I uninstalled all updates for the playstore and searched again: 8.9.24
Edit: Didn't fix the battery consume
I am experiencing the same issue. I have not checked on the google playstore version yet.
As soon as I switch wify on my battery loss is about 5-6% an hour when doing nothing. There is also no program standing out in the battery menu. When adding the consumption times there is a huge gap that cannot be explained. RCS phone shows up, but only with minor usage.
I will be back to you after checking the version of google playstore. Hopefully it does the trick.
Edit: I disabled automatic updates of google playstore and rebooted the phone. Battery consumption looks normal now. I then switched on auto update again. It still looks good.
Edit: Battery drain can temporarily be fixed with rebooting the device. Updating the playstore or disabling automatic updates did not work for me. Any other ideas?
Hi,
I have same problem with my battery life, it's quite fitfully.
I've checked that my battery can stand 3 days and 7h of screen on, but on the other hand sometimes my battery only can stand 1 days and 2'5h of screen on.
I make a very undemanding and very similar daily use of the XZ1 Compact
I have my xz1 Compact totally updated: Firmware v.47.1.A.12.119 PlayStore v.9.4.18 and disabled all of uncommon scannings (Wi-Fi,BT,Location,etc..)
My router has 2.4ghz band only enabled and WPA-PSK security, during the night I specially have good and strong Wi-Fi signal in XZ1 Compact.
So...Does anyone know what may be happening? I really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Wifi battery drain was improved on the past few firmwares for me, but it's now back with a vengeance. This is on 47.1.A.12.235 (July patch). Absolutely massive drain during the times when wifi was on, with almost no screen use during that time. I resorted to turning wifi off.

The 5Ghz band uses a lot of juice, maybe the latest firmware pushes the phone to use that frequency by default. To test this try seperating the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz frequencies on your home router and joining the 2.4 with your phone.
This is just a hunch on my part, but I can't back it up with any proof.
I updated a a week ago and I swear after reading different threads and changing different values my battery seems to drain pretty fast. Not sure what to do anymore since I can't/don't want to downgrade, anyone tried something that made a major impact in battery life?
Anyone??
Changing different values ?
Then tell what exactly you did, so that someone trying to help you doesn't have to guess what you did or didn't.
This battery draining can be quite hard to eliminate. That's why there are already 2 million threads out there regarding this.
When i upgraded via ota from N to O i factory reseted and battery is better than on N.

I might have to reset or odin to the new CRD7 then
Battery drain is still terrible.
I tried factory reset, and whitout any app installed, I've made the test, I've lost 15% battery by night, in plane mode.
After a few days, still the same.
I don't know what happened but Samsung did something really wrong.

Did you have GPS, NFC, sync, and/or AOD enabled? I know airplane mode cuts off some of that, but just trying to get more detail on your general settings. I tamed some apps using the built-in power monitor, and disabled gps/nfc/aod, etc., and even with sync on i get between 0.7%-1% per hour drain overnight with auto-brightness generally at about 35%.
GPS on battery saving, NFC off, sync on, AOD off.
That's not a good news.

Try with GPS off and compare results. Might help narrow down at least part of the excess drain.
You could always stick your phone in power saving mode and see if that helps with drain. More of a bandaid fix than anything else but could help.
