It seems that the battery drain on my newest N7 (RMA'd first one) is waay worse than on the other, I'll attach some screen shots of what I mean.. it may be just the WiFi is using a lot more than the other's :S I left it 4 hours alone with WiFi and the battery drained 20+ % which even with WiFi on seems excessive does it not? Is it possible I got one with a faulty WiFi radio? I will be testing tomorrow (or maybe tonight) to see battery drain with WiFi turned off to compare, because it also seemed to drain fast when I was just out and about with WiFi off :/ worried I have bad battery, deep sleep isn't working right (it is going into deep sleep or at least thinks it is from looking at cpuspy), or faulty WiFi... or just too early to judge XD has anyone noticed battery improve over time ? I forget if I did was a month ago I got the original
BTW first screen shot was taken pretty much right as I was leaving for work, so you can compare the battery drain there..

I doubt it's a bad wifi radio, its probably an app that is syncing like crazy in the background.
I'm currently watching the MediaServer app use a disproportionate amount of battery (14% and rising). I deleted a number of images which must of kicked in the scanner which must be very inefficient.
I also noticed my N7 become very slow at the same time.
Possibly you downloaded a large amount of images/music/etc before putting your device to sleep...

I really wish I could figure out why maps keeps starting a process.. can you check to see how many instances of maps there are ? In particular one running Prefetcherservice.. as for the other comment, media server is sitting at 6%, android is at 14%, and screen at 67%.. though I did copy a bunch of songs and pictures over after the RMA, is there a way to fix these or should I delete them to see if it gets better ?

Sigh, I might just have a bad battery, or preferably poorly calibrated, since another hour of use, just browsing and such, and I'm down 20% more -_- hope I don't have to RMA again

As a side question.. how hot does your tablet get under normal use? Mine has been heating up quite a bit in the battery section i think with just average on browser use :/

Nothing you've mentioned sounds even the slightest bit out of the ordinary. I know a person who thinks they are always sick is a hypochondriac so is someone who always thinks there is something wrong with their computing device a hypo-com-driac?

Bahaha good one I dunno, the problem is that this is literally my fourth N7 since the other three allll suffered from major screen lifting, so maybe I am looking for something wrong just so i can make sure it's perfect... Though I do think the battery life is pretty weak, I think I may have figured SOMETHING out, the only difference between this and my original is that my original had a huge section of the map of my area downloaded, and since I did that maps hasn't started any additional processes.. so good sign ? maybe ? haha

Yeah this might be a good time to stop looking for trouble and just enjoy the tablet for a while. I drop mine on the charger in the morning and don't ever really think about the battery other than that. Whatever the battery stats say now they won't say in a week and they won't say after you flash to a different ROM. If you have wifi on apps will sync and the tablet will loose it's charge. I'm never far enough away from an outlet to make it much of a concern. So maybe just take a breather, install the Angry Birds and have some fun for a bit. Eventually we'll have ROM's and kernels that make this thing sip electricity but for now I get the few hours a day I need out of it on one charge so I'm set.

You think the battery life will get much better than what it is? My only other android experience is my HTC Desire Z which has a horrible battery as it is so it didn't improve much at all with custom roms
Speaking of improved life through ROMs and kernels, have you noticed any kernel providing particularly better battery life ? I'm on trinity right now, no voltage changing, but underclocked to 1.1 ghz from 1.3
Factory reset, see if the problem continues. That's the only way decide if it's a HW problem.
And my N7 uses effectively 0% battery in standby, it was off the charger yesterday for 6 hours and when I started playing around it was still at 99%. I turn off wifi on screen off, however.
Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 to find out what's waking up your phone, the apk is in the second post. Install, charge it up, unplug, leave for 4 hours idle then look at partial wakelocks and alarms.
I saved quite a bit of standby time by disabling location services and Facebook.
If your not using nfc that could save battery?

So it seems like partial wakelock is mostly audioout_2 which i assume comes from me playing a game with music amongst other things?
Alarms says com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has 50 wakeups, and maps has 38 :S why does maps keep trying to kill me?! and what is the googlequicksearchbox doing waking the tablet up...
Wlan_Rx_wake seems to be the culprit of semi bad battery. Is there a way to prevent the tablet from waking up all the time? Maybe just unsync or turn off WiFi instead?

When my battery drain was bad I had something like 250+ wakeups from maps under the alarms section in only a few hours off the charger and Maps was showing up as the most common reason for partial wakelocks.
I think AudioOut_2 is normal - Im not sure what it does though. Im now at 8+ hours of standby with 99% battery. Under alarms im showing 138 Maps wakeups and 76 from google quick search box. My drain is all gone now though so i assume this is within normal range. The better battery stats thread and a few other threads on XDA have detailed descriptions of the different battery draining wakelocks and possible remedies. Not all wakelocks are bad though.
Ive been using an iphone 5 and Optimus G Pro for the past 8 months waiting for the new androids to come out this fall and I am quite disappointed. I have the ATT version, i have wifi, gps, bluetooth all off, never had to do that on the iphone. I close out all the apps and clear the ram, and I went through 30% overnight while I was sleeping. My Optimus G Pro was far better on battery and that seems kinda backwards?
Is there like a break in period or something, what is the deal here

You have to figure out what application is causing the "wake lock"
What a wake lock is; Its something running in the background that is not letting the phone "sleep" or otherwise go idle. Meaning your phone is running full speed ahead while you are sleeping.
It could be all sorts of things causing a wake-lock. I had one guy on my ROM have a wakelock because his internet connection was so poor the phone just kept searching and he was draining about what you are draining everynight.
Another thing I would look at are your location settings, not just GPS. The new Google settings Icon has a bunch of crap that it syncs and tracks you via all sorts of stuff. Go in there and make sure nothing is turned on you dont need...
And lastly, like the other guy said, check for a battery stat app. They can show you what app is not sleeping or why your phone is not sleeping like it should.
Facebook is a notorious offender. With refresh off I would get over 140 wakelocks in a 7 hour period.

mine is way better now, after being off the charger for 3 hours I'm at 94% where as yesterday I was probably at like 70% at this point.
Don't forget most android handsets need a 72 hour battery calibration window before you will see a more even battery level. After 72 hours your phone should have a good batch of data to help gauge its power levels.
Battery is fantastic on this phone. Coming from an X and Note 2.
I'm still on my 2nd full charge but notice once the phone huta around 60% the percentage drop starts to slow down, I figure this is just calibration getting dialed in and so far I'm very happy with battery life.
fd toggle
Hi there, I am not sure if this is the reason but I used to have Fast dormancy toggle apk on my old lgog to prevent the phone from complete discharge even though I was not actively using the devicd. I installed the fd toggle here,too and I can honestly say that if I am charged 100 % at about midnight, I have the same 100 at about 6:30 when I get up. Of course, no data,no sync,no wifi and no active use of any kind during that time. I do not know if the app is the key but the result is pretty impressive. I have the korean version F320K.
I was using the Snapdragon Battery app on my DNA. Never sure if it did anything. Is it worth using on the G2 as well? Love the phone! Less gimmicky than the S4 and more interesting than the Maxx.

This is dumb. My G2 was at 100% battery for 3 hours! You either have a lemon or your cell reception is poor where you are. The battery life is not horrible.
Yeah, I'm with the rest. I'm coming from a MAXX HD (insane battery) and the battery optimization on the G2 is far superior (albeit smaller battery).
Bought the phone over 24 hours ago and I am still on the charge from the box. Its running great for me with LTE on.
Good evening,
I have read all over that people are complaining about the horrible battery drain and I would be one of them. If I am lucky I will get 12 hours from a battery while at work (metal building with mediocre reception) and 18 hours while outside without any reception problems.
I have been suspecting that an app is running in the background that could be causing the battery drain but I haven't been able to find it. So, I am wondering if I can get some help in finding what might be running to make the battery life a little bit better. Attached are screenshots.
Thank you.
Thought 12 - 18 hours would be a decent time to have on 4.3?
It's more than likely Google Now running in the background so you should try turning that off
Same problem
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. I did install GE rom on my galaxy s4 for few days. I am a little a "newbi" in this kind of things. Even I spend my afternoon on the forum to find an answer, I am not able to know what I have to do now.
Briefly, here are my stats :
On battery : 8h7m
Screen on : 3h9m
Remain : 5 %
I publish herewith the resume of BetterBatteryStats. If anyone can "interpret" that and tell me if there is something wrong, that would be great !

I checked and Google Now has been turned off. I also have had Google Maps location reporting turned off (read that might drain the battery).
Using cyanogenmod provides me around 1 and a half days. .... but I usually have to kill all Google services ...
Using Easy Battery Saver on Intelligent Mode I can get about a day or more use, mimimal though, and still have at least 50% battery left.
Good evening,
I have tried running it with the settings suggested and it has not made much of a difference. I took my phone off of change at 5:15 this morning and I am now getting a low battery warning.
Attached are screenshots from Battery Status Plus. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks.

Use wakelock detector, that app you are using gives very little useful information
If you have rooted device I suggest to Install "Greenify" app. it close (hibernate) all unused apps when your device is idle (standby)
+1 for Greenify. it really works

Hi,
do you have only battery drains or also random reboots?
the fact is that samsung shipped out a bad serie of batteries (which is confirmed by Samsung) their serial starts with BD
the symptoms of a bad battery are:
Huge battery drain
random reboots
while rebooting the phone hangs at samsungs logo
battery is swelling
phone shutting down while you have an incomming call/sms
when you are the "lucky one" to experience one of the above symptoms please replace your battery asap under warranty
if you don't do this you risk a phone exploding in the pocket of your pants this is not only painfull for your phone but also for "everything else" whats in there

A lot of screenshot but almost no info about battery drains (some info of data ussage, som apps consuption, etc, but nothing relevant)... It would be great if you could post screenshots of
1) settings->more->battery
2) settings->more->battery->touch the little graph
3) settings->more->battery->screen
4) any screenshot for partial wakelocks in better battery stats or that program you are using
First three screenshots are the most important and everyone should post them when a drain problem exists (no needed any third battery management app)
I just got my phone a couple of days ago, and seem to have some insane battery drain. I leave it on overnight and in the morning it seems to be down to about 10%.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of issue?
Here are some screenshots:
While the battery is OK but not stellar, I notice you have Wi-Fi on? Turning that off overnight helps immensely.

I have a Galaxy S4 running 6.0.1 from JDCTeam that gives me way better battery life with WiFi turned on all night, and runs way more apps than this phone (plus, the battery is just 1850mah). I suspect that there might be a lot more going on under the covers here with respect to hidden services. I am not happy with the fact that the battery usage stats are hidden.
Should I root and try to use betterbatterystats to figure out the real problem? or maybe just assume its defective and ask for a replacement?
I think you need to turn this off too. Otherwise, it will keep searching for wifi even you turn the wifi off.
I'm having no battery drain issues. I have the Grey one.
I have turned off mipop and voice print. Dunno if that could be the culprit.
Turning off Smart Power Save increased my battery life
I have the same issue... 10 to 15 % drain over night other than that the phone it's amazing... When I got the phone before I even turn it on I got in recovery an did like 3 times a factory reset ... I'm gonna keep the phone for 2 more weeks if the drain continue I'm sending it back to newegg ?

yeah the battery was massively overrated pre-purchase
Thanks dougm0 and Barsky ... I turned off Smart Power Save, MiPop and Voice Print. I also made sure that the location section was only using GPS (not wifi+bluetooth), and it all made a difference. I still feel like I can squeeze out a lot more performance here. My deep sleep numbers in better battery stats has improved, but it's still not where I want it to be. As I make more tweaks and get better battery life, I will post screenshots and settings tomorrow (maybe it might help someone else).

Something I always notice that you might also want to take into account. When you get a new phone you are not using it as you will regularly be using it after the new period wears off. You are probably testing all the different aspect of the phone and just plain messing around in ways you do more of when the device is new. I always get horrible battery time in a new phone
No issue with battery drain - left my phone at 100% overnight with WIFI ON, in morning it was at 97%. I think I will take it as 3% drain over 8 hours.
You most likely have an app that's causing wake lock issues. It's a common problem on any phone.

My battery is amazing on this device.
I Don't mean to rub it in anyone's face that have these issues. Must be an app that's causing it.
Coming from Note 4 and Moto X Pure. This is twice better. I don't read screen on time on this device because it doesn't show it. I don't even need those stats. After 16 hours of the charger with same use I get home with 40%+.
My Note and X Pure were dead by then or have been connected to a charger by that time.
Hope y'all figure it out.
Battery life on my phone is not that great either. It's not horrible but I expected better. I think it drains 3% in 4 hours with wifi and sync on. I did turn off all the scanning and battery saving feature.
I recently noticed the battery on my phone was just 3140 mAh instead of 3250 mAh like on the website says it should for the US model. Can you please confirm what capacity your battery has?

It's 3250 for the US model, but there is an issue with the partition where it still shows the original 3140 mAh instead. It has been notified to ZTE and they said that it will be fixed in the next update.

ahhh gotcha. I almost wanted to return it if they lied to us. Thanks for the response buddy.
I am on the latest 7.0 beta, T-Mobile version, I am getting pretty frustrated. I only get ~2 hours of on screen time. Right now at 30% and Android System has used 1350 mAh and CPU total is close to 5 hours.
Attached some pictures from yesterday and basically the same exact thing - maybe one of the packages listed is killing the battery?
I know there are a lot of posts about this issue but nothing that I've found useful unfortunatlely.

I am getting pretty fed up. Thought the new updates would make it better but no go for me.
If only you got root, I strongly recommend using Myandroidtools/disable service. Samsung roms sucks pretty bad, I have never ever experienced something like battery drain on other phones. Since I disabled 80+ Google Services and some samsung bloat, android system takes about 2-4% drain after a whole day. I am using Renovate on nougat.
Looks like a lot of you are very unlucky. My battery life is superb! At the end of the day I still have ~35% battery remaining. I recharge every night regardless of how much battery I have left, so it does me just fine

I would strongly advise to stay away from any of those 'fancy' package disablers.
They do no good and often deteriate things. I have on average over 8hours SOT and never used disablers.
Most Samsung apps don't put any drain on the battery. It's things like Facebook etc that hog resources.
Yeah, if only i got Facebook apps installed. I have fully working locations, notifications and other stuff - most of services I disabled are feedbacks, silent loggers and stuff I dont need or use. Only corrupted app is Gmail - which I don't use.
I got sync switched on, lots of calls, auto brightness, voice assistant and usually get 5 hours SOT during my usage which isn't bad at all.
So not sure what did it, but I installed Greenify and also changed from 1080p to 1440p and I get about 3ish hours on screen time. Still terrible but will do for now.
My phone also feels faster after changing resolution back to 1440p. So weird.

I mean location. Aod takes almost 40% of battery in 24 hours.

I remember Samsung saying it only consumes a couple a percentage points.
This article tested and it's nowhere near 40%. And I use the phone about 15 hours before it gets charged again so it should have a huge impact.

Okay, stop reading useless news and try it by yourself. Phone dont go fully in doze mode with AOD on and keeps light and other sensors on like proximity to put more or less light in the aod screen. You are complaining about **** battery and I am telling you that I have tested how aod can take 40% of battery in one day. You really believe samsung? Come on...

I really don't think you're right as that's not my experience either. I cited the article because usually the tech websites have some experience - my anecdotal data, or yours, doesn't carry much weight.
As posted before, my screen time has increased and keeps going up. Got near 4 hours of on screen time today. Greenify must have killed a process that was putting the CPU on overdrive and which showed up under Android System. I shouldn't have to take the time to find fixes however since Samsung and the Doze feature should be doing this already.
I appreciate your advice, no need to get upset we're just having a discussion...

I don't really see a discussion in the fact that AOD uses a lot of battery if you keep it on all day, it's pretty much guaranteed that AOD is the main culprit. And your own experience with your phone and its settings is worth a lot more than the experiences from some tech website. Everyone's phone/settings is different.
