DISCLAIMER AS PER USUAL: YOU DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Although procedure itself is simple enough, but as alway, anything involving flashing, especially firmware has it's risks.
Oki doki. Time to come out in the open
Prelude. I was hard pressed to get 4h screen on time in 10-12h off charger. Then i screwed something up (irrelevant ) and had to reflash stock images.
Now my next findings are sure to attract so flaming from more experienced users that will say "it's placebo", "it doesn't work like that" etc. While I don't have screenies to confirm pre flash stats, i have gathered a few post flash stats. Here we go.
Some cycles are missing, since i either accidently deleted screenies or forgot to take them. But that should give you a general idea. WiFi used mainly, apart from last cycle, where 12 were on data only and the rest was while connected to wifi and reading a book in fbreader.

And this is ROM/KERNEL i used before and after flashing images. Note, kernel has been updates since, but it didn't make much difference.
So for me it's fairly conclusive, reflashing stock images has GREATLY improved my battery life. I had a few chats and we came to a conclusion that it is possible that at the factory device has simply not been flashed "properly", mass flashing differs from your usual .img flashing normally.
What you think...Well, it's up to you for decide. I know few more people who've done the same, and while their improvement is not as drastic as mine, it is still an improvement.
Please vote AFTER you try it, and after min of 2 cycles.
How to in post no2
Simply follow this great guide by efrant. Keep in mind it will wipe your storage, so backup all the pics and other stuff.
Before you do it, take below quote into consideration if you use google wallet.
dacho said:
Oh yes, you have to reset Google wallet before you flash it. You would log into Google wallet then settings and click reset wallet. I remember this from galaxy nexus days.

efrants guide
People who are more experienced will know how to cut corners If you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you follow efrants guide to the letter. This way you'll learn a fair bit too.
Same process for every images version. Also, I ALWAYS do it for any images update, since I'm not a believer in patching. I might be wrong, but hey, it works for me. So my personal recomendation would be to redo this after every new OTA.
So:
1. Backup your "SD" contents.
2. Flash ALL stock images as per efrants guide (or any other way if you know how to)
3. You are most likely to get stuck on boot. Hold power button, shut down, reboot into recovery. Once you see broken droid hold power button and tap +vol. Once in recovery do factory reset. If you don't get stuck on boot, still do it.
4. Boot on stock. It's a good idea to transfer your rom and kernel onto sd now since you can't mount sd in recovery.
5. Reboot into bootloader and proceed to push recovery and then flash your previous setup (ROM/KERNEL)/
How to push recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-image-name.img

All on auto, the only two things i have disabled is gnow and location reporting (which is primarily used for gnow anyway) and had that disabled from day one. The rest of the settings are irrelevant, since they are the same from before i reflashed stock.
Interesting, be good to see what others report.
If i hear a few good reports, i might take the plunge next week.
Edit: might just be Rasbean jelly giving you good battery life!
Cool, I'll give it a try and see what it does!
I'm struggling to get +4 hours of battery life ATM, so let's hope this helps.

Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.
The thing that's helping battery life here isn't the reflash, it's the factory reset that happened when you did it.

I would tend to agree. But which would be the cause, removed culprit user installed app(s) or something not set as intended from factory as a result of mass flash/ reset etc at factory? Or both?
Maybe even a difference between OTA updating new units after setup or before?
Would be easy to test the theory by just doing a factory reset without re-flashing and see if it makes a difference.

I did think of that. Thing is flashing ROM fresh IS factory reset. Factory reset doesn't do more than delete all the data and maybe reflash /system. So i disagree with you here Rusty. Think about it. I took my time to carefully evaluate changes, and you might know from my time in Sensation forum that I do look into things before posting it.

Also, apps have nothing to do with it, since my (and other people) setup is identical to what it was before doing that.
And thanks to the person voting NO. I guess following simple request is too difficult.
If you guys are sceptical, do it before you do next fresh install since you don't lose anything and report back.

I can vouch for this experiment that we somehow agreed to without even hesitating lol.
Personally, i manually installed EVERYTHING. no nandroid or titanium back up. Before i would get roughly 9hr phone usage with 2.5-3 hrs battery. After going through this i now get 13-14hrs phone usage with 4-4.5 screen on. I know that's normal for some but compared to what i had before, is an improvement. This was just in the first cycle. I'm on my second and wool report back when I'm done

Not sure. But someone already had very decent battery life and extended it by another 0.5-1h screen on. I guess you wouldn't lose anything if you tried. Just a half an hour of setting things up.

Dont want to say anything but on screenshoots there is practically no apps other than browser or taptalk, play a game, watch a clip on YT, listen to some music ohh and switch off WiFi. Phone is to be used outside where you dont have a WiFi, At home I have my Laptop that is far much better than than a phone to read stuff, and XBox that is far much better for gaming....
I could probably pull 8h screen if I switch everything off sans WiFi and just have web browser opened on one page.
Ohh And I'm on stock since day 1 + had to reflash image due to kernel net being compatibile with screen sensitivity driver .... No changes, What you have on images wont repeat itself outdoors.
Look at that screen where you dont have WiFi on. Your usage dropped by 8hrs screen time by 1hr and still no phonecalls, txt, nothing really.... just chrome
I get 3hrs 30min screen + 17hrs usage with music in bacground, quick game + and reading, no reception for about 8hrs or if there is any its 1bar....(and that drains the battery)

Ok. I think I have to explain something. This is absolutely not about how or what for phone is used. I used it in the same way before I flashed images.
Concentrate on the MAIN thing. Same usage, same rom and kernel, same settings, same apps. The only difference is battery life after flashing stock images files. Immediately.

Let me start by saying Thank You VERY much DroidTheory (and everyone who has contributed to making this an excellent stable ROM).
I am on the 1.4 (wiped cache, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system) build and I've been having the battery issues that everyone is talking about since 1.2. I am in the forums constantly and I have read all of the posts and the fixes for them. I have wiped battery data from a full charge, I'm on 1.4 so OMA files are already gone, I'm in Portland Or and we have stong 4G no drops ever since I have had my phone. So it isn't the cycling 4G/3G issue.
So I know there are multiple "my battery is dying" threads but I had not seen this one mentioned in any and don't want to get buried.
So I am having a bit of an issue getting a screen shot of it everytime I try I just get a wierd distorted image. That is not the issue I came for but if anyone knows.
What I am noticing is when I use the "Android System Info" app in the processes if I sort by CPU% I see 2 instances of the same thing "android.process.acore" both reporting 100% CPU and 35.28MB RAM. My total CPU is reporting around 50% at most times. I have tried killing the processes to see what may happen and there are no negative effects but the processes just seem to come back eventually if I check an hour (not exact) later there they are again.
I assume it's impossible for 200% of CPU to be used right now but what I'm wondering is would 100% CPU on one process equal to 50% when considering that nothing uses both cores yet?
Any clues what these processes (android.process.acore) are and if there is anything I can do. If someone can suggest a good way to take screens I will be happy to post one as well.
Use Screenshot ER instead of AndroSS. Curious to your findings. Massive battery drain here. I dropped 10% in 45 minutes doing absolutely nothing. Nothing rogue in my battery stats...

I installed Android System Info and checked that my android.process.acore was not using any cpu cycles (0%). I use the Go Launcher. I would suggest trying the dreaded "Factory Hard Reset". I know it's a pain and time consuming, but it cures a lot of random ills.
Good luck.
Yeah I am doing a reinstall with a rewipe at the moment (I know this isn't hard reset). I am a very process oriented person so I doubt I missed any of the wipe/formats needed for Unleashed but I'm going to give it another try.
After doing a bit of google searching for "android.process.acore" I find ALOT of people with the exact same issues (on different phones) all with non-stock launchers. I have found a few suggested fixes. Like removing widgets from stock browser and all other launchers (I have a few right now as I've been testing and trying to work around.
This does seem to be a widespread problem though for more than just us.
Geezer could you please keep checking on Android System Info for me randomly (this is not an all of the time thing) I can kill the process and it will stay dead for a seemingly random amount of time (haven't been able to notice a pattern yet) at seemingly random points(I'm not noticing any one action causing this). But from the other references I'm seeing to this problem all seem to revolve around updating but most for different things... I have been taking note of PID in Android System info and searching for the PID in CATLOG I am finding references to the PID but honestly I don't see any glaring problems but I'm no dev and I don't fully understand what it is telling me. If I provide LOGCAT of the process could someone translate for me?

FWIW, I'm getting ABYSMAL battery life (7h4m from full charge to shutdown as of my last cycle just now), with only 8 minutes of phone calls, light surfing, light texting, email sysncs at 1/hour.
I'm running GoLauncher with UNL3EASH3D v4. I have yet to see the process you describe (and I've been checking it pretty frequently trying to track down my drain- in fact, without exception every time I check, Android System Info is the process using the highest cycles at about 10-13%). I also used Go with stock for a day or so and didn't have this level of drain. HOWEVER, I didn't duplicate my stock setup when i flashed unleashed, so it may well be unrelated to the ROM.
I AM seeing waaaaaay too much awake time on the stock battery stats screen.
I'm about to do a wipe and reinstall and run minimal for a few days to see if I can pinpoint anything. Trying to hold out for the update if I can... (Love the ROM, so really don't wanna go stock)
Up at some thread (I dont remember which one!) I read personal observations on how reflashing to stock improved battery life.
There was also as usual a lot of people who felt it was pseudo.
Having personally done that I have seen my battery life increase by ~10% everytime I reflashed stock. Ofcourse it only worked two times, by the third there was no increment.
Recently, moving from xylon to stock I used the MAC TOOLKIT instead of the PC one.
I used to wonder how people showed 20+ hrs of battery life when my best was 15h:35m and voila, ever since I've flashed via a Mac the battery life has been simply phenomenal.
I've tried it on my wife's, dad's and sister's phone since with the same result.
I think it will help a lot of you out there who could use the extra battery life.
STEPS:
1. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049003 => to their official website
2. From the list download: "One-Click Unroot/Restore to 4.2.2 Stock Toolkit"
3. Put phone on fastboot (TURN PHONE OFF => THEN VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER)
4. Let it do its thing
In just under 3 recharge cycles battery life will be 20+ hrs when moderately used.
Dont need to do the above if you're already getting ~16h in heavy use, else try.

There are so many variables concerning battery life. Especially if you are just comparing uptime.
The only way this could be plausible is if your Mac infused Apple "magic" into your phone.

20+ Hours? Pft. I can get 20 hours SOT... Provided I set the screen to the lowest brightness, lock the frequency to 196Mhz, and UV it to 650mV, while leaving it alone lol.
I'm interested in the on-screen time. Post it!
Typical "wipe dalvik and cache 3 times, jump up twice and put your left hand on your arse and smack it really hard to improve performance". What do you think a reflash does? Magically improves battery life by 10% each time? How do you think that's possible? Oh look, i've reflashed the phone, now i have 10% better battery life, but let's not stop there, let me reflash the phone again without even setting it up again so i can get that other extra 10% too.

Haha this thread is awesome. Thanks for the laughs
Dont forget to reflash via a Mac when the Mac's screen is on 27% brightness, and at 27% battery remaining, and when the Big Dipper is out in the sky facing, facing the northern hemisphere, and is at its brightest (I recommend an astral star brightness photocell tracker of some sort to confirm this. Don't worry, it'll be totally worth the money).
You want to do this process exactly 9 times, with the 9th time being accompanied by a silver USB cable that has been plated with internal gold cables. This ensures that the final 9th reflash procedure is thorough, clean, and expensive. The N4 USB port will be able to tell the difference between 1s and 0s stemming from regular copper wires vs golden wires. The 1s and 0s are brighter.
After completing the above, you want to let the phone boot up completely, and then you want to engage in a factory reset again. You must do this step 23 times. It's tedious, but it does a thorough bleaching and demagnetization of the NAND to ensure that the 82nd time and up, you'll get phenomenal battery life and insane I/O speeds that will blow even a 20-SSD RAID0 array out of the water.
After that, you must wait till the 3rd Friday of the month before you turn on and use your phone, for real. The NAND chip needs to be set just right given the electromagnetism, solar radiation, etc, to ensure that it starts with 0.000000% corrupted spots. Only then, will you get phenomenal 8+ hours of screen on time with up to 7000% battery improvement.
If you don't have a Mac, but you have a Windows or Linux machine, then you're out of luck. I recommend buying some praying incense, and spiritual money that you burn at funerals. I've been told that using those inconjunction with the steps outlined above will help alleviate the flashing errors that commonly accompany Windows/Linux users.
Trust me, this works some times, but every time.
Hey everyone,
I was checking out the battery stats thread over at the m7ul forum, and I was blown away. People were getting 5+ hours screen time, no problem. Obviously, we can't reproduce their setups; our phones aren't compatible with their ROMs.
So, I thought this thread may come in handy for those of us struggling with battery life, and would like to know what kinds of numbers can be achieved. Post your battery stats here along with your setup. Include ROM, kernel, tuning, services, etc. please!
I know the Sprint M7 is kind of a dying community, but hopefully we'll get a lot of participants.
*ahem*
Wow guys don't all post at once.
Anyway, I guess I'll just share mine to get you started.
As you can see, my battery life sucks. Not sure why, because I'm running SD 9 with Kangaroo, and I installed Amplify to reduce the Google Play Services Wakelocks. Also, power saver is on 24x7. If anyone has a recommended setup, that would be great. thanks!
install greenify this will help you significantly increase your battery life https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en
The sound of silence...
Yeah, hopping place ya got here. LOL. I've ROM hopped all over the place, tuned and tried apps, prayed to the dark lords of battery power, all to no avail. The M7's battery life simply stinks. But, it's a supercomputer in your pocket, so I kinda have to think that's fairly amazing. I use power saver mode ALL the time, never have a need to crank it up, I turn my brightness down to the first bar on the quick toggle when I use it and the lowest setting for just glancing and messages, Beats off, NFC off, any radio I'm not using off, GPS off and in battery saving mode. I stream via Bluetooth for probably five solid hours at work and I can make it all day with some texting and make it home, so I can't complain. But, if I'm streaming, talking, surfing, and such, I'm glad I carry my charger everywhere I go.

Well you can't objectively say it's battery life "stinks" because there are definitely people out there getting absolutely incredible numbers in the int'l forum. I just wanted a Sprint specific thread so that we could replicate the setups of people having great success.

That's actually the reason I created this thread. I want to see if there are any Sprint users who can actually get that kind of battery life. So far, it seems that they can't.
I would hate for that to be true, but I've never seen a Sprint phone get those insane numbers. So, it's possible that Sprint's network is a battery hog. But we can't conclude that unless absolutely nobody posts a good setup.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of us left, unfortunately. Must of the guys I knew when this thing was hot jumped to the M8 when it came out due to the problems this phone has. There's not alot of devs out there making ROMs either, though in HTC's defense, Sense 6 was so awesome there wasn't a huge need to go crazy. The one thing that has always been said though, is poor battery life. I'm on SkyDragon v 10 now with nagging wife kernel and I'm not too unhappy, I can post my stats for fun tomorrow. But, do us unstock guys count in your test?

Yep, anyone who has a sprint htc one can post their stats and setup here. Im running the same thing as you. Hopefully after the settling i get something out of this.
Honestly, Im just desperate to find out if m7sprs can get the same battery life as those insane gsms.
So far, it seems like a no.

Ugghhhhhhhhh why. I used to have TMo, was happy with it, got caught into sprint with gimmicks. I hate my life.
OK it's not that serious, but why is this?
8/5 means 60% EXTRA battery life. That would explain how the people in the international forums get such insane numbers.
So, what's the best we can do with our measly Sprint phones?
3.5 hours Screen on time
I'm using a Sprint HTC One on a GSM network in India. I get on an average around 3.5 hours of screen on time.

I'll be switching to T-Mobile when m9 comes out. Mainly because of the sprint "wait now" network. Have been wanting to switch for years but figured I would give them a chance to fix it.

The m7 on sprint has bad battery life. If all I do is browse the internet on WiFi and text I can average 4 hrs SoT but by then my phone is already about die. This is only on sense sadly I get worse SoT on AOSP

I started a thread on this, but I'll guess I'll ask here too.
What percent of your battery usage goes to Android System? According to GSam. I've noticed that the GSM guys have app usage in the high 20s or mid 30s. Mine is in the mid 50s. The Android System battery drain and kernel wakelocks are the issue here.

From what I've heard, poor signal on your sprint phone decreases your battery life. My average is around 2 hours OST within maybe 13 hours of use? I gave up on trying to make this thing last more than a day

Hi there. One day, I went to sleep with 80% battery. I woke up with the note5 off... no more battery mmm the day after I turned it off before sleeping at 40%. Guess what? It did not want to turn on... no more battery. 100% stock Android never rooted almost still new .. turning me crazy
Do you have ideas/ suggestions?

Mine is rooted with all the deepsleep fixes but still the same thing happens to me. And I cant find whats causing it. No wakelocks, no apps that would drain. It just seems like the battery acid magically vaporizes overnight. If someone can help us with this issue, please do. I'll be grateful.

If you look at the graph, till 10pm the device was fine. Then I checked for the time on the phone and let it just sit there. You can see the steep part where it's draining like hell. Then it stopped. Then it started draining again. I haven't touched anything on it. Just checked the time by clicking the home button. It just happened. I have no idea what's going on. I swear if this doesn't stop after marshmallow I'll snap this phone in half and throw it in the trashcan. There is no way someone could use this thing with this type of issues. I'm done with samsung.

Well, you see this whole problem comes from the fact that samsung doesn't open its sources to developers. No one knows what's really going on underneath the system. What kernel is really doing and what hidden services the rom has. The developer support for exynos devices is very little(thanks to those who are still trying despite the closed source code). My nexus 6(which I'm currently using instead of the note 5) had poor battery life. But thanks to open source kernel and aosp, now my n6 lasts me days with single charge. If anything happens, devs are fast to patch it up. So i think jumping straight to iphone is not really necessary if instead you can buy devices that welcome the dev support and community and are also more fun to use than iphone.

Yeah, no that's not it. I use the original fast cable charger- the same thing, and I use the wireless fast charger(yootech) - still the same thing. I don't think it's a hardware issue. I hope it's not, cuz I got no warranty on my N920C in the US.

I'm not sure to be honest. There are people in this forum that also have 920C and not many complain either. How would we know if it's hardware or software?
I charge mine overnight as I get to the end of the evening and its on 20% max. I will try to charge mine when I get home this evening and see what happens overnight off charge........I suspect the wifi will drain the battery as a minimum. Have you tried it with wifi off?

Did you rooted your phone ever or always stock? Actually i just try to understand a theory real or not??
Peoples talking about a chip, which is cracked when you root your phone and never let you reset your knox counter? and same chip, causes deep sleep issue! i want to understand, if deep sleep issue just for rooted phones, then this theory maybe true and this is so bad for samsung!!! but if same issue happens to completely stock and original phones (i mean non-rooted!), then this theory is a crap!
1) Do you facing this issue with never rooted phones?
2) when starts to drain your battery? after an update or install an apk?

As per their own statistics in the Battery Menu, I have no app that is "over consuming". As you brilliantly explained before, maybe Samsung is just not showing all the info? I might bring it to an official Samsung Store and ask them to change the battery at my own cost (even if it is still under warranty, because they will never replace it for free if they do not clearly identify the problem).
And if the problem remains, yep, I might become a youtube speaker showing how long a Note5 can survive in a washing machine.

Don't pay for the battery replacement. Tell them the issue and show screenshots. Ask for a solution. If they can't identify the problem they should give you a new device. You shouldn't pay for something that wasn't broken by you.
By the way, I'll be waiting for the washing machine video if anything... that would be so satisfying.

Let us know what happens after you take it to the repair center. I personally blame the issue on a core process that eats up the battery but doesn't show up in the wakelock detector and the battery stats. It really happens randomly which makes me think that there is some switch in the system that clicks and doesn't click back making some process drain the battery. And it's also not a deepsleep issue so makes it even harder to guess what it possibly can be.

@umudeus Saygılar
Thats kernel issue 'IMO'.. I would prefer you to root and flash a custom kernel but as you know it will trip kn.. bla bla. I've faced the almost same problem with yours(Last %23 battery had gone in 6 hours, I thought it will sleep deeply but found it dead when I woke up in the mornin ). It was my bloody first day with my phone(btw its s6e+) and boom after two days rooted and flashed custom kernel Till now(and will go on) it was sleeping like a baby when I turned the screen off. (Extra: DS Battery Saver app has good options in the deep sleep case, >>HERE<< )(For Rooted devices).
Edit: If wonder; my deep sleep time is just %3 for 7H 41Min. See the attached shots
Sounds like a kernel or hardware problem. But, can you try something that helped me before, maybe it will help you as well?
Try to charge the phone with a regular 2A charger (I had my note 2's charger handy). Believe it or not, I said farewell to battery drain on my phone. (I used the note 2's charger for a few days, and then switched back to the fast charger and everything is fine: I get ~5h SOT before the phone reaches 5%).

I actually wasn't trying to be a troll or spam. I'm on an AT&T V10 so I'm obviously running stock Rom rooted (as there's no unlocked bootloader yet). Only other thing I have from xposed is gravity box only for visual changes. I copied and pasted directly to the ETC folder as you stated was allowable later in the thread. I only asked to see because, like you said, it's hard to mess something up. Don't really appreciate being called a troll for asking a simple question....
Edit: only other thing I can think of is I changed batteries on a daily basis because I'm away from outlets for most of the day and have nowhere to recharge. I think I read something that the phone takes up battery on start up. But without this mod I would usually get 5-6 hours SOT and about 14 hours on a full charge

Your screen shot included nothing but a battery graph. No app usage, no explanation of what you are running / doing. And your saying "I'm rooted running xposed and all stock" is not you running stock. It is you running xposed rooted and probably with other small modifications here and there.
Just would be useful to not just come up here and make it look like this script magically destroyed your battery life somehow when it is literally nothing but basic shell scripts to modify very high level parameters of device operation. Like I said, you are literally the only person to ever have an issue. Post something useful other than "hey this is terrible here's a one off screen shot and no other information about what makes me unique from everyone else."
I didn't respond to your original question in the other thread because it was uninformative as to what you might have done wrong while installing the file. You posted a graph, then asked what you did wrong.
Good question. I have no idea. But obviously something because I've been using this for weeks now, and many other people as well and nobody has experienced this mystery battery sucking you are seeing.
It is important to note that your device will boot with all CPU governors set to "performance" which taps your frequency to max. This file changes it post boot, so if you didn't copy the file, or more importantly didn't set it's permissions properly afterwards, your device will be stuck running performance, possibly reboot, and certainly will suck your battery dry very quick.
You need to give me more if you want my help, otherwise I will ignore you. I do this stuff for a living and it isn't my job to be a test engineer for your device as well as my own.

This file changes it post boot, so if you didn't copy the file, or more importantly didn't set it's permissions properly afterwards, your device will be stuck running performance, possibly reboot, and certainly will suck your battery dry very quick.
You need to give me more if you want my help, otherwise I will ignore you. I do this stuff for a living and it isn't my job to be a test engineer for your device as well as my own.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I meant stock Rom as in no custom Rom. And as stated all I have xposed wise is gravity box with visual only.
I'm going to try a factory reset as someone else stated and copy only your file and see what happens after a few days.
I'm no noob when it comes to flashing and changing parameters which is why I was confused about why this had such a detrimental effect.
Again I thank you for your hard work and all the positive things you've given xda on your own time. I'm sure it's just something to do with only upgrading from root and not starting fresh

I think it would be good if you post the command output of
Code:
ls -l /etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
and also a screenshot with the app usage stats.

@greekunit690 it might just be coincidence, but under your display settings try unchecking & rechecking the Auto option under Brightness. I've found that for whatever reason the brightness setting will get stuck at the highest level even though I have Auto selected. This has led to rapid battery drain for me when it happens.

i cant use it
how did you install it ?
Its not hard. Just follow the instructions and use terminal emulator to input the commands. After you do it once from the commands you can simply copy and paste the file in the appropriate folder and correct the permissions when an update is posted.
