Take a look I am running SC 2.4 and I had my data on and I went to 79 percent battery in a little over an hour mostly on standby just now I charged my phone to 100 percent and its at 90 while leaving wifi on and a phone call

EB01 has a bug in its sensor code, so turning off AutoRotate will help. It's still not a WHOLE lot better, but it's at least serviceable that way.
Hopefully, the rumors about the update/OTA were true, and we'll see an updated build (EB09 is sticking in my brain for some weird reason, but don't take that as anything real) that fixes the sensor code and anything else that's eating up battery.

Did you do all the flashing when at 100% battery? It's possibly your battery stats are just inaccurate.
Let the phone charge to 100%, then with the phone still plugged in, shut it down so you get JUST the charging screen, and let that go to 100%. Then, boot into CWM and delete battery stats, and then go back to the powered-off-charging-screen and let it go back to 100%, then boot back into your OS. Some people recommend draining the battery most all the way, then charging it back up, but I'm not sure if that's really necessary.
Also, apparently there's a GPS bug in EB01 which causes it not to sleep, which'll drain your battery fast as well (though I don't see the GPS icon on your screen). You might also have some battery hog in the background slaughtereing battey life (the battery use screen might be able to lend some help for that).

Try using an app called juice defender, I found it to help my battery a lot.

SC 2.4 hides the icon.
I was getting a wakelock from Android System earlier today, but that has finally resolved itself and my phone is sleeping now.

I am not a noon so I know about wiping batt stats and did that I have used juice defender before but I just don't see a whole reason that it should drain that quick

No issues with battery life AT ALL with EB01. In fact, the BEST battery life I've EVER gotten, even better than Adrynalyne's UV kernels (no offense bud)
Yesterday, I unplugged around 10, got off work work at 830, was home by about 930, and STILL had some 34% left, 11 hours later. I'VE NEVER been able to go that long on a single charge. And I leave auto-rotate on.
What REALLY helped me, was turning off the GPS when not in use. MAN....what a difference !!!!

Phone turning off at 50% battery life

For the last week or so, I've noticed that my phone now powers off at 50% battery life.
Battery Monitor Widget reports the battery still having ~1000mah at this level, but the phone just dies. I feel like this is incorrect, because sometimes if I run it down slow near 50%, it will do that thing where it will flash RED on the LED when you plug it in for the first time (super low battery indicator).
I'm running AOKP 4.2.2 MR-4, but i've tried a few different roms, dirty and full wipe (factory clean), along with various kernels, but my phone continues to die at 50%.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

See attached screen shot for what I"m talking about. Battery drain will look fine, then all of a sudden, BOOM 0 percent, and I have to charge it.

Yikes, definitely something going on there. Are you running a custom Rom?

Just went completely back to stock and then put the latest AOKP back on. Still seeing some weirdness. It's like it doesn't even use half the capacity of the battery (see discharge/charge graph)

If I had to guess, I would say you battery stats file is out of sync. After flashing different ROM's on a G1, I would have to re-calibrate the battery stats by letting the phone battery slowly die (phone powers off), then fully charge while phone was still off (8-12 hours), turn back on and repeat one more time. The stats file would fix itself.

I'm experiencing the same issue, but mine is not as severe. I've dropped as much as 25% battery, but the phone has never reached auto shut down. I'm worried that this issue will cause the red light of death.

the day before i tried this with the network on nfc on, data and wifi off and the consumption was about the same.
i have yet to try flight mode on and nfc off, but i wouldn't think that nfc would use that much.
i use greenify to put a lot of apps to hibernate so they wont wake the phone.
starting to think my battery isnt performing right anymore.

17% in 6.5hrs, airplane mode, no nfc.
the phone is definitely going to sleep.
i could leave the network on and nfc too, difference isnt big at all.
any idea is appreciated. leaning towards bad battery here..

Why not remove all the extra apps, and see if anything changes. Then, you can install one by one when things are clearer.

i would believe if an app cause the drain with the screen off then it is probably causing a wake lock.
which doesnt show at all. is there any otherway an app can drain the battery without wakelock?

I don't really see drain? 2% an hour is not that much. In my opinion it's normal.
If you insist on lowering it, then try the following:
- Different rom
- Different modem
- New battery
And search for some guides to lower your battery usage.
You have to experiment yourself.

it didnt use that much before. in 15 hrs i got a bit over an hour screen time before it hit 0.
anyway, just loaded romswitcher, going to see if it happens with CM too. and airplane mode on.
starting to think the battery is going bad already

I average about 0.5% drain during sleep.
See the link in my signature to find out how. I've got a whole guide.

Have you checked the serial number on your battery? If it starts with BD then it's stuffed Samsung should still swap it for free I think.

thanks for all the replies guys.
yes 0.5 drain should be normal when it sleeps.
just tried this using CM rom and it looks all good there, so its not the battery.
going to remove some experimental settings in greenify to see if that helps.

[Q]Sudden Battery Drain on s5 5.0

Hi,
In these past couple of days i have noticed that suddenly my s5 is draining battery life for no reason. Its discharging 30% overnight without being used, when before would be less than half of that and the battery, with moderate use, is not lasting me to the end of the day like it used to.
I went to see the battery usage on settings and there isn't anything unusual in there. However, im only getting ~1h30 of SOT.
Im on lollipop 5.0 and haven't made new updates (it also says there are no updates available).
Anyone with the same problem? What can i do? Is there an app that gives me a more in-depth information than the stock android one of where this battery is being used?
Thank you!

Boot to recovery and clear the cache, might be a rubbish file causing it

Good idea! I will try that.
I do use ccleaner on it from time to time to clean some temporary files that are taking up space, but it might not have access to the files the recovery has.
I took screenshots of the battery usage to give a better idea:

Did you ever end up solving this? because i have the exact same problem and have been getting horrible battery usage, around the same as you...the battery will drain like 3% percent, even more an hour even when in deepsleep!!??
I have tried to solve it by narrowing down wakelocks in better battery stats and everything but nothing is helping, and the wakelocks aren't substantial anyway.... Totally clueless as to what could be wrong...

I did was suggested here. Went into recovery and cleared the cache. I think i also ran ccleaner after just in case, but i think it was the clear cache that did it. Try it out, it worked for me

sudden battery drain

I installed Resurrection Remix 5.6.9 two days ago and thing have been GREAT until this afternoon.
On the way home from, I suddenly noticed my battery started draining way too fast.
Tonight, I've been monitoring, and it's lost the same amount of battery in less than an hour as it did all last night unplugged 7 hours while I slept.
I installed gsam battery monitor in the hopes it would provide me with more inromation than the standard battery info from Android settings menu, but it's not telling me much more.
Also, in the time from 8:50 - 9:10 that I had the screen off and phone unplugged, the phone is warm like I've had the screen on using a CPU intensive app.
What else can I do to track what is causing this battery drain? (and i'm assuming CPU usage).
The only thing I did today that was any different was to install the Asus Pixelmaster camera app from the play store. other than that, absolutely no different usage today than the past two days.
I have just now uninstalled the Asus camera app to see if that is the culprit, but I don't see how it could be.
This is my first go with Resurrection Remix, but I did use the Asus Pixelmaster camera on CM13 and (obviously) stock and stock rooted ROMs.
Please, any thoughts on this?
@BigBrosMo this might interest you as well.

Craziness.... Not the camera. Something in cyanogen. The flat a section is airplane mode.

i could not track down what was causing the problem. this morning was even worse - about 1% drain every two to three minutes .
i'm trying out the XOSP ROM now.

I noticed if i turn the wifi off the drain is reduced significantly. Bluetooth is on, cellular on, wifi off.

Did you get any further in diagnosing battery loss? It's taking forever for RR 5.7.1 to get released.

I am having this issue to! On a couple roms at that. Anything you have found to resolve this?

No.. I just keep trying different Roms. I use resurrection remix latest and it's ok as long s location is completely off. If on high accuracy or battery Saver it kills battery. So I only use sparingly.

huh... so odd. I was excited about this one but I am getting ADs now and the battery issues. Had the same thing in Resurrection and now XOSP. In my troubleshooting, I installed an original ROM and that seemed to run fine. Going to see if someone deodexed one and flash that...

Take a look at this
It may be with 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' activity. Set it to 'Never'.
OR
Step A: Set 'can modify system settings' of 'Xender' in 'modify system settings' to off.
(But by keeping this off, everytime Xender prompts 'allow changing settings' and you need to allow it to use the app. After the use, you need to again do the Step A)
