[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?

5.1.1 Battery Drain

Is anyone else having huge issues with battery drain after updating to 5.1.1. I've disabled all the crap, wiped my cache, disabled enhanced LTE. and have minimal apps installed besides stock. Just took the phone off the battery charger. It was at 100% when removed. It's been sitting for 40 min with the screen off. The battery is down to 93% already with 3% being used by Android system, 1% by system UI, and 1% by Android OS. This is nuts. I can't even get through 1/2 a day of regular use. Any ideas?

Big time. My phone isn't going to sleep. My Android System Stay Awake time is more than double my screen on time.

I'm having the same problem. I currently have Location History turned on to get more surveys on Google Opinion Rewards (I could turn that off if I wanted to); and I also know that because I'm not in WiFi during the day, the Lollipop mobile radio active bug keeps the radio awake way longer than it should. It's crazy that I can leave my phone alone during the day and watch it drop ~5% an hour because of the horrible standby behavior.

There is something wrong with your phone or app. I have about 100 apps. No problem here.
This is the international version of the phone

Or it's something to do with the AT&T version of the firmware as yours is an international version and not having issues.

Battery drain issue is related to the AT&T 5.1.1 firmware.

I guess it might make sense to stay on 5.0.2 in hopes of a future bootloader unlock and to stay away from a potential battery draining bug. If only AT&T would embrace a more open approach to this model phone. I only got this phone because the nexus was out of stock and I was in need of a new phone. My trusty old S3 was a godsend, with its unlocked bootloader and fully open platform. The fact that AT&T is closing up the ability to root the phone is drastic enough, let alone introducing bugs that make you want to throw the phone at the wall (battery drain).

How can I see what is keeping my phone awake without root? It's staying awake 3/4 of the time and below is a shot of my app usage. What I can tell it's a system issue, but not sure. And yes I factory reset twice and wiped cache.

Same here. factory reset cache wipe x2 and have everything non essential disabled. It's driving me nuts! This phone was a rockstar until this update. Going to best buy tomorrow and will see if the Samsung folks can reinstall the update or something. I'll post what I find out.

Battery life is worse than my old s4. The screen barely takes any of it, when it used to be more than half the battery life on my s4. Yet I still get about the same screen on time.

Yup I completely agree. Left my phone at 53% overnight and I woke up to the phone completely drained and dead. It's ridiculous.

I noticed something odd. On wifi, battery life is great, maybe 1% every 2 hours idle. But without wifi, battery life goes down 10% an hour idle.

Finally made it to the Samsung center at best buy. The guy was able to force the update again and everything went smooth. So far maybe a little better, not sure yet. I'll post when I know for sure if it worked and was a bad update.

So after the forced re-do of the update it wasn't any better. List 20% at night with everything off. Dido another factory reset and cache wipe and that seems like it might have fixed it. Only 4% list last. Not as good as it was but definite improvement. Hope this helps anyone else with same issue.

TurboRZR please update... would love to know if that fixed it before I wipe my S6 for a second time.

I too am having an issue with the new 5.1.1 update where my "Android System" is getting stuck in a stay awake loop draining my battery. Sometimes a simple restart will fix it for a few hours, but it will always come back.
I installed wakelock detector and set it up to run on a non-rooted phone. When I pulled the statistics , the biggest battery drain I had under "Android System" was diagnostic.client.network. Nothing else even came close to the drain this resource was pulling.
This was as far as I was able to get as I have no idea what that is or how to disable it if I even should.

I have resolved the issue on my S6 Edge, I even attempted a factory reset which didn't resolve the issue. I had noticed my Wifi usage in GSAM was very high (50-70%) and after some searches I found that someone else posted in a different forum (I think it was the S6 Active forum) that the issue was related to multicast being enabled on wifi routers. I disabled it on my fios router (it's in a hidden menu) and it resolved my drain. I am now at 12 days uptime without a random drain. I also had to disabled Enhanced LTE as that was causing a HUGE drain at times when I didn't have LTE. I hope this helps.

Stock Marshmallow Battery Life: What gives?

So got my father a S6 and its running stock Marshmallow, Long story short his battery life dies extremely fast. He has wifi turned off and bluetooth on most of the time. He has the phone on his pocket or on a desk not being used and the phone goes from full to 20% in a few hours. Should I flash a rom to help the battery performance or do you think its a faulty battery?
I Would provide screenshots but I dont have the phone on my at the moment.

Was the marshmallow just flashed if so might need to let the battery and kernel set in some scenes screenshots or stats would help determine if its a faulty battery

I ended up flashing back to factory using samsung smart switch, gonna give it another test tomorrow with minimal apps installed and if it drains then i know its a bad battery.

try wiping cache or factory reset in stock recovery. my phone had minor bugs after I installed 6.0 using Odin. factory reset fixed them.

ill try doing that thanks!

My battery life has actually improved since the update.
Make sure NFC is turned off as well (unless you use it often)

My battery life on MM isn't all that bad.. It gave me my first report on the apps that use the most juice, and gave me the option not to have it run in the background.. Not a bad feature.. Mine is rooted with a ton of Apps Frozen or Removed via Titanium Backup.. Battery life isn't better, but over time the device will get to know your habits and battery life should get better over time..

I'm stock MM and rooted running DS Battery Saver with the slumber profile. I'm just settling into it (a day or so) as well but out of the gate it's not too bad (12+ hours per charge). I've got most of the Tmobile and Samsung apps frozen but run a good dose of others.
I'm inclined to think this will improve over the next couple/few days and even more so with a custom kernel.

Update:
So I flashed the phone with samsung smart switch and battery is much better
Not as good as other phones ive used but its much better than what it used to be.

Root it an install deep sleep battery saver if that is an option.
If not, you can install an app like Greenify or Macrodroid and use them to disable sync or data/wifi when the screen is off.
That will help conserve battery quite a bit.

yes thats my next step. Its my fathers phone not mines. Just got my G5 today

P9 Lite Nougat Battery Life Thread

So how's EMUI 5 Beta for u guys in terms of battery life?
Ever Since i got the nougat beta my battery life has been horrible especially when idle with Android OS Absolutely Killing my battery in standby without any WIFI or Mobile Data On . Normally i would lose 10-15% overnight
My Build Number is VNS-L21C185B331

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.

Have you tried better battery stats? Do you use the app power monitor in the Note 8 settings at all? It's got to be some of your apps or saved settings...

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.
