how long your battery used? if >2-year heavy use, could well be battery degrade. no solution except for buying a new one. (symptom: battery charge sudden drop, like 50% -> 20%).

For me battery drops can sometimes happen when I don't charge battery to 100% - so it's good idea to always charge to full.

First of all you should check if your battery is going into deep sleep mode. You can do that by installing Bettery Battery Stats, and leaving your phone idle with the screen off for some time. You should read the forum post to understand how it works. If after leaving your phone on "stand-by" you realize that it's not going into Deep Sleep mode, then you should find out what is keeping your phone awake.
I used to have the same situation as you, and it turned out that I had set the WiFi Sleep Policy in Viber to override the Roms setting, and consequently leaving my WiFi always on (which prevents your phone from sleeping). After fixing the issue in Viber my phone now turns WiFi off after 15 minutes of leaving my phone idle.
Now unless your battery is actually dying on you, I'm sure you can get a better battery life. I am using Tasker to program my phone to turn WiFi off when I turn off my screen, and then turn it on for 1 minute every 15 minutes during the day, and at nights it does the same thing but with an interval of 1 hour and half. There are apps in the Play Store that do this too, I've tried these both, and they work as they should, and they can even control your Data connection

Deep Sleep Battery Saver
All in all I've been losing an average of 1.7% during the day, and 0.7% and 1.2% per night. My battery currently lasts about 2 days on one charge. This is all assuming it is actually your WiFi that's preventing your phone from sleeping, I just figured I'd share my experience in case it is in fact that; the important thing being that you could probably get the same results as I have (or even better, considering your battery isn't busted) if your phone is actually going into Deep Sleep.

[Q] Battery issues

Ye, my battery just went from 48% to 3% in about 3 minutes. Does anyone have any idea why this is?
Same problem here. From about 43 % down to 7 % while it started to charge the battery with the original charger. Afterwards the Tab didnĀ“t charge at all. Battery drained and got very warm.
I Called Vodafone and was told i have to send the Tab in for fixing. I hate waiting for the tablet 3 weeks.
Update: After 2 hrs. of waiting the Tab cooled down and i was able to start it again. Did a factory reset and was able to charge again with the wall mount charger.
Just wanted to bump this as my battery life is miserable and it discharges really fast in standby...
My HTC desire has been on for 52 hours, used for a lot of stuff and is at 20% battery.
The Tab charges to 100%, I unplug it at night and in the morning it has lost approx 10%, I leave it a few more hours and it't down to around 60%. This is with no use and no apps running!
I've tried killing apps or leaving them in memory and it doesn't seem to make much difference. I also use setcpu and have a profile where the CPU speed decreases when in standby to conserve battery?!
If I charge to 100% and use it constantly, I get fair life out of it maybe 4-6 hours of light use - some streaming over wifi, web surfing, kindle, sudoku etc. If I use it occasionally or heavily though, it dies very quick and if I leave it at about 40% on the evening, it's generally dead in the morning.
Why does it discharge so fast in standby??
Check to see if it continually searching for a signal. I've noticed that mine loses a lot of power constantly searching for a signal, cellular and wifi. So, I used airplane mode to conserve power. Remember that it syncs to different services that require it to periodically download data. That may be your issue.

Thanks Chuck, I use it in airplane mode all the time and only use web over wifi (bought unconnected in the UK). Would it still be syncing for email etc? I didn't think it could turn on wifi and sync itself but only when I turn wifi on. I always turn wifi off when not in use. I had problems with widgetlocker asking for superuser permission quite often and that killed the battery quicker so I removed that until it's fixed and saw an improvement.
I'm not seeing the times that other people are though, losing at least 10% overnight and there's nothing really running.
I installed battery doctor and the times it quotes are high for different types of usage and nowhere near what I'm getting.
I'll make sure email and calendar are set to manual update, adjust brightness etc and see what happens. It seemed better when I first got it so perhaps an app is draining it? I installed system panel to monitor this but it's hard to see what is actually draining it, any recommendations anyone???
Quite disappointed at the moment, ipads barely drop 1% overnight and I'd rather not have to turn it off to conserve battery when it should maintain it in standby...
Check the task manager and see what application are running. Also you can go in settings- about device - battery use to see if a specific application is using your battery out of normal. Also , the display is generally the battery hog, you may have set it to a super high level. One last thing you may have the buggy 3d gallery app, and it will show in the battery usage.

this is an interesting problem. its very similar to the Apple Macbook Air.
The Macbook Air was very thin - very nice looking - however it needed to depend on wifi to do most things.
the association i am trying to build here is this: the Tab needs a bluethooth headset so you dont get all your calls broad-casted over speakers and that could drain the battery a lot.
for me the battery drainage didnt seem so bad and its been on for the last 36 or so hours. the battery icon didnt look like it moved so much and i was impressed considering this thing had a gigantic battery. then i loaded up a utility that read the battery and said i had 59% so my jaw dropped. not only is the battery indicator wrong there maybe rogue processes casuing the battery drainage. and this is on 2.2 which is supposed to be somewhat battery efficient.
i dont know - frustration is what i am all about here with this thing. it seems that every time i buy a new android device i want to move to another android device. no one is getting the damn thing correctly setup.
Am at work right Now, Charged the tab overnight, just few minutes ago my battery said 60% left and now the tab is completely dead, wont turn on, I ll wait until i get home to charge, fingers crossed.

I am experiencing the same thing. Tab on flight mode and charged to 100% overnight. Unplugged at 9am, still on flight mode with no apps running, and it is 88% at 2pm.
12% drop in 5 hours with no usage whatsoever is way too much imo, comparing let say to my HD2, even not in flight mode. Wonder if they have a bad batch of battery for certain tabs........
Just wanna report back after my last post. When the percentage was dropped to 85%, I did a reboot. And guess what, now it displays 95% !!!!!!
5% drop from the morning til now in flight mode seems right and okay. Does it mean the tab is miscalculating the percent left?
PS.
I have been following the voltage in Spare parts this morning. All settings are the same (no apps opened, same screen brightness and in flight mode. Only turn on to record voltage)
94% - 4087mV
91% - 4081mV
88% - 4075mV
85% - 4067mV
But then after the reboot
95% - 4040mV
Man, I am not sure whats going on here........

let me jump in here again and share a similar deli-ma i had with my X10i.
while i was messing around with some custom roms i decided to stick to one that looked somewhat nice. well the funny thing is the battery indicator would always display 100% and for about 4 hours it would drop ever so slightly. then i removed the battery and put it back in -- the battery indicator showed 0% and i got a red light flashing ....
after screwing around with it for a bit i re-flashed the stock firmware from Sony-Ericsson and magically my battery meter and my battery worked fine.
so to sum up -- it maybe a software issue like the one i had on my SE X10i above?

[Q] Battery life not as good as I thought on NAND

Hi everyone. I had NAND installed on my HD2 now for about a month and a half. One of the things that I haven't seen on my phone is better battery life. This is the first phone I have with a data plan so I'm really not sure how much of the battery drains with data. Here is my daily routine. I charge my phone overnight, by 11am-12pm my phone is just about dead. I put it on the charger until about 4pm; usually it's fully charged by then. By the time 10pm comes around it's almost dead again. Doesn't seem like good battery life to me. Someone please let me know if I'm missing something.
Thank you all!
Depends on what you're doing with your hd2.
If you spend a lot of time on the internet with either wifi or 3g, then that drains battery pretty quickly, as with any device. Playing games or watching videos is the same thing, although to a hiigher extent with games. Keeping the phone screen on is also one way to drain battery quickly.
You should install current widget and monitor your standby times, etc. In standy by, your phone should be consuming 4~6 mA ideally.
If you want to monitor your battery usage, first download and install CurrentWidget, enable logging while the phone is on standby to see your standby usage.
Second, need to check battery usage on standby after a call, there are some kernels with a known bug that prevents the phone from going to sleep, consuming 60ma on standby.
Third, Do a battery calibration, it does help a lot if you have never calibrated your battery, android tend to mess up battery reading after a while of not being calibrated. There's a thread about in on forums, search for it, REALLY good info there.
Fourth! check out if you are in a zone with crappy 3G, if the phone has to turn 2g/3g off and on too often it drains battery like whoa.
Fifth, take note of max and min voltage readings with CurrentWidget, your battery might by wearing out (should be maxing at 4.2v and min around 3.3v - 3.6v depending on kernel).
Another thing, before your phone dies, check out battery usage on Settings, see if any program is eating your battery, and check out how long has your screen been on, and post it here
I've always had WAY better battery in Android, even SD, than WMo, MSN/push email killed battery in WMo in about 6 hours, without use, just standby. Android get up to 4 days in standby with Gtalk/Gmail/Exchange Mail, all on Push, along with weather and twitter. With hardcore usage, the battery last between 6 and 7 hours top (Screen on for 4-5 hours), while Gaming, it wont last more than 4 hours (CPU at 100%, Screen always on, GPU at 100%, Brightness 100%).
Normal usage (between 40 mins and 1 hour of Google Maps with GPS on, between 3 and 4 hours of music thru Bluetooth with my car, 10-15 mins talking, about 20-30 SMSs and quite a bit of Gtalk) it makes it thru the day, lasting about 12-14 hours.
Such a low battery life is probably cause your phone is not going to sleep, it should be at 2-5 mah on standby.
Hope it helps
I can play an hour of pokemon (gba rom), listen to pandora whenever im in the car, surf the net for an hour or two, and with a total constant usage of about 5 hours, and at the end of the day ill be left with 30% battery still.
If I don't use it often it will last 40 hours +.
Maybe try a different nand rom?
Im running hyperdroid nand
Zephyrot and kangpeter, Im jealous of your battery life. I'll try what was posted. Thanks for the replies!

Verizon S7 Edge Battery Life Terrible

And there's nothing I can do about it. I only have a gear s2 connected at all times and wifi and mobile data off whenever possible. Before I leave to the gym battery is at 44%. After the car ride there it drops one percent. I unlock the phone, connect my powerbeats, and open youtube and there go another 5%. After a YouTube video there is 7% drain. About a 10 minute video too. Leaving the gym and hour later and I see a maybe 20% battery loss. I don't know how people with regular S7s get 4-5 hours SOT because I get only 3.5 maximum. I bought the edge looking for better battery life but it's practically no different than my S5. If anyone knows a magic trick to this, I need to know now because this is extremely annoying.
IF you got the device from an official retailer, just return and get a new replacement. Losing 7% watching a 10' video is not right even with max brightness. You can fix the standby drain by using Forcedoze (which helped reduce my standby drain by 50% to about 1% every 2 hours). 3.5 hours SOT is terrible even with max brightness. Just get a replacement please. It's not worth the time and frustration.
IF you don't have the option of getting a replacement. Forcedoze can help with the standby drain. Factory reset, set up normally (personally, I just turn off bluetooth NFC location and turn them on when needed), and hope that your terrible screen on time is software related.

Do you think it might be my location by any chance? Maybe the service in my area causes this drain. I also have gps on because of my gear s2 but I can turn that off and see what happens. GSAM tells me the in the past 30 minutes the drain rate is 15% per hour. I browsed the Internet a bit and have been using it the whole time. I'll try to also do a full battery drain test on geekbench with full brightness and see what it tells me.

It's a good possibility. I have a fairly weak signal where I am most of the day and only get about 4-5 hours of SOT. I have all radios off except WiFi and data when needed. Still with my usage I only charge every 2 to 3 days. I don't get the drain like you do from watching youtube though.
My battery life also sucks. I barely use my phone during the day and it almost dead when I go to sleep. Most of the day I am connected to wifi between my work or home. My old htc m8 one could last 40 hours. I think part of the problem is because I do not have root on this phone. I kind of regret switching because I cannot get root. I cannot use applications to adjust cpu or control my wifi, data and to turn off apps from starting automatically. I think tonight I am going to try and calibrate my battery.
I had horrible battery life after taking the 2 OTAs. BetterBatteryStats would not report the device going into deep sleep at all and I was losing about 10% per hour on standby. I did a Factory Data Reset and all the problems cleared away. BBS is reporting deep sleep after about 5 minutes of the display going dark. I have Wifi, data, Bluetooth, and high-accuracy Location services turned on at all times. I lose about 2.5% per hour now with AOD turned on on standby.
Guess my advice would be to due a FDR after every OTA....
Guys, I had terrible battery life when I first got the phone. Off the charger at 6am, under 20% by 5pm... Follow my steps below and I bet your battery will do a 180 and be very nice. Mine gets me 35-40+ hours on a charge.
Disable the bloat apps you don't want in app manager.
Turn off Google usage and diagnostics reporting for the Google app, and if you use the Google keyboard, there too. This and the next one were the biggest improvements by far.
Turn off Samsung "Send Security Reports," and in the same place, turn off auto-update Samsung security updates.
Turn off device/Bluetooth/WiFi scanning.
Set keep WiFi on during sleep to while charging.
In permissions, I turned off location for any app I didn't think needed it. I went from 30+ to about 15. If an app requires location to work, you will get a popup warning when disabling location for it.
Lastly, I did a Restrict Background Data on several apps I didn't think needed it.
My phone started dozing and the battery drain dropped way out.
I keep AOD and Bluetooth on at all times and connected to my smartwatch all day, and my car about an hours a day.
Hope this helps! Apparently out of the box the S7/Edge battery life is terrible...

I installed forcedoze and did the adb non-root command and now my phone's battery is holding up better. I think the phone was just sleeping.
It's ridiculous one has to do all this to get closer to acceptable battery life.
Google and SEC should be ashamed of themselves!
It's not just VZW devices either. AT&T are just as bad.
I've given up on trying to get acceptable standby drain and just let the device live on a wireless charger.

You need to turn off all radios when you go to sleep for the device to enter deep sleep. I had the same problem and when I started turning off wifi and mobile data for the night GSAM reported deep sleep and I was only losing 3% per night.

LG V20 Overnight Drain

Hello,
So I've had the V20 since it first came out and I'm loving it. With the stock battery, I'd charge it every night and not notice many issues. Noticed a respectable 3-4 hours of SOT, which is decent but not spectacular. Then i got the Zerolemon 10,000mAh extended battery for it and I still feel like the phone doesn't have the battery life it should. With the extended battery in, I would sometimes leave it unplugged overnight and lose 15-18% (which, in a 3x battery, correlates to almost 50% of a stock battery) in just one night. So i'm wondering, any apps/servies that just guzzle battery overnight? Any info is a help, thanks!
Good possibility that the new battery you have may be junk.
But you'll have to pop the stock battery in and do battery usage comparisons between the two.
Have you calibrated the Zero Lemon battery? Run it all the way down until it turns off the phone. Pull the battery and then put it back in turn the phone back on to make sure the battery is drained all the way.
Then recharge it without disturbing it. Recommend doing this overnight.
Also make sure you aren't switching batteries once you've got the lemon calibrated otherwise your battery gauge won't read accurately.

Yeah i might have to, i've been trying to avoid that. I honestly think that it's the phone not the battery, because when i leave it alone overnight it loses like 12-16%. Losing that even off a stock battery is ridiculous so i figured it was something with the phone that caused it to run all night without dozing. i read up on some threads about wakelocks after installing GSam and seeing that the phone is held awake quite a lot (as i type this, i'm sitting on 72%, 13h16m of usage, 3h5m SOT, and 4h28m held awake. So i honestly think it's the phone, but then again if i do drain it down then do a battery pull and it jumps up to 30-40%, then i'll know it was the battery
Also, would you recommend once the phone shuts off plugging it in and leaving it off, or turning it back on once i plug it in?

Don't think its the battery, it's highly likely the ROM you're using. I had terrible life after the last update.

I'm running bone stock on everything, no root
Update: been getting significantly better battery life after doing two things:
1. Turned off Bluetooth location scanning (I already had WiFi scanning turned off).
2. Using my phone without WiFi on (on the chance that it might be the WiFi causing wakelocks, which is something I researched a bit with the help of GSam. Wifioffdelayifnotused was the suspected culprit).
I'm not sure which one could be the bigger factor, but I'm going to leave my phone unplugged overnight with WiFi off, then after tomorrow night when i charge it fully again I'm going to see how much battery life I get with WiFi on (this way I should be able to determine if it was the Bluetooth scanning, or the WiFi.)
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
Had a zerolemon on my Galaxy S4 and while it was a great battery that added a lot of additional life, I never felt I got enough extra life that corresponded to the amount of mAh that the zerolemon brought. Though it wasn't anything like what you are describing. Just never felt like I got 3x the battery life even though it was like 3x the mAh amount but maybe that's just because I don't understand the whole science behind the mAh ratings on batteries.
Update part 2: turning off the Bluetooth scanning and Wifi (only yesterday, had wifi on today) has resulted in much better battery life so far. Oddly enough, early on it seemed a lot better, on pace for almost 15 hours SOT. I'm at 18% now and almost at 10, but still pretty good and better than what I was getting. I'm chalking it up to the Bluetooth scanning since I use an Android wear watch that I leave always connected. I'll do another full drain tomorrow after charging it tonight, this time leaving wifi on to see how much of a difference the Bluetooth scanning makes (3rd pic is early on when I was on pace for 15h SOT; left phone unplugged last night and stayed at 64% all night. So my 12-18% overnight drain (40-ish% on stock battery) problem is cured )
hi
my v20 phone battery draining was about 1% per hour before (about 7% totally ) and recently increased to 2% during sleeping time overnight. (draining 15% overnight in sleeping state) .this situation's screenshot is attached and named : Screenshot_2018_01_21_07_05_15.
it seems that during day either performance off battery is decreased.(about 5h with wifi and screen on usage)
Fast charging while second screen is On , is slower than when it is off therefore when second screen is Off , fast charging goes better . exactly , first 30 mins fast charging makes about 40% battery charge(instead of 50%) and after 60 min leads to 85% and full charging taking place after about 100 min instead of 80 mins.
another important thing is that sometimes shades have been seen on the LCD that many users have complained about it.
phone information is :
Android security patch level: September 1, 2017

battery calibration steps for not rooted phones is taken place.(turning off the phone and charging several times repeatedly).
testing battery drain in safe mode in done and didn't change results
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
turn off WiFi being On during screen is Off.
turn off auto sync, NFC, GPS etc.

system apps like Google services and Play and Assistance is limited by permissions.
following are some advanced battery drain overnight figures of my phone for more analyzing.
any help with this issue is appreciated.

Battery Drops to 81%, Only 3% Usage Detected

Hi everyone,
I performed a Factory Reset on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge as all of a sudden I was experiencing poor battery performance. Since the Factory Reset, I now only have the device's default apps installed, with the exception of me installing WhatsApp!
The features turn on are: WiFi, Location, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Sync, NFC and Always On Display (Night Clock). This has always been the case since day one and I don't really want to start having to disable features as that becomes a nuisance.
Just before going to sleep, I charged my device to 100% and then unplugged it. On checking it this morning, the phone had been on battery for 7 hours 53 minutes (totally unused during this time) and it reports the following: Cell Standby at 2% (53 mAh) and Device Idle at 1% (41 mAh) and that's it.
For the first year, the phone would only drop by say... 3-5% for the whole night (with all my fancy apps installed!)
Why would the performance drop so significantly? How can I fix this? Could the Android OS be doing something in the background that it actually isn't aware of and is eating up my battery?
Any comments and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

Welcome to my world...I have the same issue with my phone from the start. Could never understand how other people can get great battery life and I can't. When not using my phone, I loose 3-5 % per hour, more if I use it. My phone never goes to sleep/deep sleep. I tried all combinations to save battery life, but to no avail. I took my phone to Samsung as my display developed grey lines a month ago. I got my phone back and they informed me as part of their service I got a new battery free of charge. With the new battery I get 2% drop per hour, when not using the phone, still no deep sleep etc. We did have an update about 2 months ago and since then the battery life is a bit better when using the phone, it's not draining as quickly, but deep sleep is a big no no when not using the phone...
Hi @termdj
When I first got the phone it was absolutely solid. If you charged it before sleep, you could wake up the next morning and the phone was at a solid 90+% (easily!).
Now with everything turned off (WiFi, Location, Bluetooth, Sync and NFC) the battery is just not performing and loses 20% during the night.
However, I feel it may not necessarily be the battery, but an Android OTA Update which could be causing this. It's only been a short period of time since I noticed it and I haven't noticed a gradual decrease in performance.
Just hoping that some wizard says "you need to do X, Y and Z and all will be sorted"... here's hoping!

Look around on XDA and try some of the suggested battery saving tips. I tried some of them, but with a lot of them it's mostly turning of key functions/features....That's not why I bought the phone, so I use the relevant functions. I have made piece that my battery life isn't wow. I think that something is keeping your phone awake, preventing deep sleep, just as in my case...
I also have the same problem since updating to Nougat
