I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticing this but I just came off 4.3 TouchWiz onto SlimKat 4.4.2 (Build 5) and I'm noticing battery drain like crazy on my mobile. I thought it was bad on my previous stock ROM after the horrendous 4.3 update Samsung provided but this is worse. I used to get around 9-10 hours of battery life which has been reduced to around 6-7 hours now (I know it's not a HUGE difference but I'm not a fan of charging my phone twice a day). Overnight (despite leaving it on flight mode) the battery of my phone drops by 8 odd % in around 6-7 hours. Does anyone know the cause of this and can someone please help me?
Thanks

1. Switch off Google now.
2. Root.
3. Install Greenify + Donation Pack.
4. Greenify the intended apps.
5. Switch off Location.
6. Turn off animations.
7. Turn down the brightness.
8. Turn on the dark slim mode.
9. Switch to 2g.
With the above, I get 1+ day of battery on my i9300.
Read in other forums of other ROMs with 4.4.2 that battery drains with this KitKat version
Using omni ROM 4.4.2 battery drains on this too. Could it be Version specific problem ?
Hi i'm using korean model and i've updated it to official lollipop everything working perfect but i'm facing battery drain issue..i'm using g2 first time i dont know about its normal battery timing may i know what is actual battery time i totally fed up because battery drain so fast and i charge 3 times in a day
Hello, I am new to LG G2. I came from moto g2 and just recently got LG G2. The thing is that when the screen is off, no WiFi, no location services, no sync, etc the battery life is very good. I got like 90+ hours battery backup on a single charge without heavy usage. But when I turn on the screen and do something ie web browsing, the battery drops very fast, like 1-2% every minute or more than that. I just went back to 4.4.2 but still the same. Is it normal? Can anyone help?
For an unknown reason, G2 screen takes a lot of battery.
I heard google play services is the culprit.
My battery was really bad on 4.4 and I don't know why.
On stock lollipop I had 3,5-4 hours SOT with browsing and playing games
It's not normal, I get solid 24 hours with 5 hour SOT involving WiFi and 4G. One of them will be always on. I am on stock Kitkat, rooted.

Either your battery is shot and can't hold a charge well under load or there is some kind of software glitch. If your battery has more than 2 years of use it will need to be replaced. If it's software, TOT flash to lollipop, factory reset, update to latest ota and factory reset again. But it's most likely your battery - before I changed my battery, I got a few days standby but only 2-3hrs sot.

I have tried both LP and KK and there is no difference between them as far as battery life goes.(LP is better at everything else though...)

I just sold it, seems like a bad battery.
I own a h990n since December and notice since a couple of days that the phone is runing warmer and draining more battery than usual. I never seen such high system battery drain before. Does anyone has a explanation. The phone is stock and unrooted.
I recently updated Note 4 with April 1 patch and since then I feel like I'm experiencing battery drain than ever before.
Before, Android OS, Android system and Device idle only used 1%. Now its consuming 4-3% of the battery. Isn't it experiencing a battery drain than before? If so how can I resolve this issue?
