[Q] Sudden Battery Drain on stock phone - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So as it says, I am having a sudden issue with my battery. For the first few weeks after I bought this phone, I was sitting at nearly 2 full days before charging again. The past few weeks.. it has been decreasing steadily. From 2 full days to having to charge my phone every 1.5 days.. and now down to 1 day. This morning I wake up and my battery is being ridiculous. This was an overnight charge. I had only touched my phone last night to text and that was all.
I do not have have my phone rooted, and I would love to be able to fix the issue without rooting if possible! I really dislike losing all my game progresses when having to flash or factory reset anything.
As you can see in the attachment below.. I HAD great battery life. I played games frequently throughout the day.. used the phone quite often to text, facebook, chat on hangouts and still had 2 full days before needing to charge again.
Yes I've disabled a LOT of bloatware. I keep my location and bluetooth off at all times. I turned the WIFI from "Always on" to "Only when charging".I keep my screen brightness turned down and set to automatic. I turned off Google Search. I DO have motion gestures turned on, ONLY for the palm swipe screen capture.
I tried searching the forums for the answer and could not find one that directly applies to my issue. Most of them were short battery lives out of the box or shortened with the update in April.
I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have!

I'm in the exact same boat. When I went to bed last night my phone was at 27% and my device was dead when I woke up this morning.
I'm debating doing a factory reset on my phone, but that's a last resort.

I've had weird battery issues like this. Like 90% battery when I go to bed then the phone's off (2%) when I wake up. I've switched off the wi-fi toggles that we all know about but I also deleted and disabled most Samsung apps (except SHealth) and deleted the Samsung app store. I also got rid of all apps that I rarely or never use. This got rid of my battery issues and now have excellent battery life.

Yeah.. I have completely gutted out all the useless apps to me. That included all of Samsung's Apps and all but one T-mobile app. I'm in your boat Undergrad, I really don't want to factory reset if I don't need to!
I went into my Google Play and changed the updating from always to let me decide and turned off Google Search.
My battery still isn't where it used to be but that helped a lot. I'm now at 1d 2hours at 26%. The screen and Android System are neck and neck on my usage right now..
I wonder what app(s) is/are doing this.. maybe a recent update to them is just chunking away at our batteries.
Thank guys for letting me know I'm not alone!

Crazy battery drain in just a few hours

Hello.
I've been searching various forums for a fortnight now to try and diagnose an SII issue I've been having and Google inevitably brings me here. Unfortunately, the numerous threads on battery drain don't match the problem I've had and the solutions haven't helped.
Around two weeks ago I noticed the battery life on my handset was really terrible, draining in hours. I had been using it quite a bit at the time so assumed this was the cause. However, lately it has been draining within around 6-10 hours even when idle, usually dying completely overnight despite a full charge just before then. I don't have a huge number of apps installed - maybe 20, fairly standard ones like Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, no games and no 'battery defender' style apps. It's not rooted (it's 4.0.3) and I can't root it for other reasons.
The battery drain was a nightmare, basically going from power point to power point just to keep it topped up enough to use and it was draining during idle time and deep sleep. I very rarely ever have 3G, GPS or Bluetooth switched on. Wireless is on most of the time and it generally does have a signal in the two places I spend most time (home and work). It also has a strong Vodafone signal since I'm living in a major city centre.
I tried a few things:
1. Uninstalled all but the most-used apps I had. No change.
2. Uninstalled everything it was possible to uninstall. No change.
3. Installed BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy. BBS plus many hours of searching kernel/partial wakelocks and so on showed nothing that looked odd at all, certainly nothing taking up a lot of time or regularly stirring the phone. CPU Spy showed it did deep sleep when idle.
4. Factory reset. This included no app installations except BBS, disabling the likes of Social Hub, Gaming Hub and all other stock apps I could. No tethering or wifi sharing, no wifi, no 3G, no GPS, no Bluetooth, nothing running. It was basically a handset sitting there doing nothing. BBS showed nothing odd that I could see but the battery still drains in hours. No partial wakelocks and a tiny number of kernel wakelocks taking up next to no time and occurring a handful of times. No change.
5. I charged it before bed, took the battery out and left it until morning. In the morning it was down at 79%. This seemed weird so I bought a brand new genuine Samsung battery and gave that a try. No change in the 6-10 hour drain but taking the battery out overnight showed no drain now.
6. The weirdest of all. I charged it fully before bed, switched it off over night and it was drained completely by morning. That seems crazy to me. I can fully understand poor software or bugs draining a battery but not when a handset is switched off.
I am lucky enough to be able to get a new handset through work but this issue really annoys me. I took very good care of the phone, never installed anything crazy, didn't over charge it, the handset never got warm at any time, I'm careful with Wifi/GPS/Bluetooth/3G and location services, yet I ended up with an effectively useless "mobile" phone.
Is there anything that comes to mind that could have caused this? Point 5 above made me think it was simply a battery issue and maybe it partly was (with two batteries, how unlucky) but point 6 is just crazy. What could cause a handset to drain a battery under these circumstances?
Thanks for any advice!
Take the phone to Samsung Service Centre. No phone should drain that quick when un-rooted and a full wipe has been done
Sounds like tha battery is shot.

same thing happened to me yesterday, heres what i have tried to do so far:

Um...widgets? Some widgets on stock Samsung ROMs kills your battery - I remember AP mobile news is a huge drainer. Try limiting the number of widgets you put on your homescreens maybe?
Hi...
Try:
01 - Full Wipe
02 - Install a clean ROM
03 - Disable Fast Dormancy ( *#9900*# )
04 - I use the GreenBatterySaver
After post your result !
I sugges too full reflash the stock rom and after count the batter time. If it does not help, it cold be HW error too - maybe it isn't.

Battery-life Issues with N4 after 4.4KitKat

I have an LGE Nexus 4 and I just got the 4.4 update a few days ago. I love the update so far, but one thing that really irritates me is:
Battery life! Ever since updating to 4.4, Exchange services is using up more battery than my screen! Other power hungry apps since the update are: Mediaserver, and Android System. (I'm running Nova Launche Prime, that's probably responsible for the android system usage.
I used to come home from school at 5PM with around 35-40% Battery. It's currently 12:45PM and i'm already at 65% :S. Anybody with tops and tricks to help me conserve battery life please do share with my self and the community!
thanks world ( ::cyclops:

I don't think you've provided enough information for us to really tell you. Try getting BetterBatteryStats and then check for yourself what's going on. Sven has fixed it to work on 4.4.
I've experienced the battery to be affected negatively on 4.4 as-well.
For now i turned off the voice command [ok google] which seem to help a bit but still not as good as 4.3.
ITs location services... turn it off and see how much better battery life you get or use device only then check your google services useage
Exchange Push is the issue
I have found that changing my Exchange settings from "Push" to check every X minutes has greatly improved my battery life. It seems to be much more inline with what I was used to with 4.3.
Hope this helps,

Well... I flashed 4.4.2 the other day and I saw my battery plummeting like mad... so naturally the first place I came to was XDA, and saw that a lot of people were having a big problem with battery life.
So I didn't do any battery pulls or anything like that on my N7100, but when the battery went from 85% down to 12% what I did was to turn on everything that I could in order to drain the battery... turned on Data, WiFi, turned off the battery saver etc. etc.
Down at about 6%, I got that alarm with the notification to plug in the charger but I just let it go.
After a while, the phone wouldn't turn on at all... nothing. Nada.
So I plugged in the charger and let it go.
I checked it in about 1.5 hours and it said 100% but the red charging LED was still on so I let it charge for about another half hour and finally the LED turned green.
I turned on the phone and held the power button until the screen flashed three times (About 15 seconds), and let it boot up.
I had 100% charge last nite @ 11:39, and right now on standby (12:45 the next day) I still have 95% on the battery.
Strangely enough, I didn't get one call on this phone all day... but when I don't answer my Note 2, people just try the other number on my iPhone 5s.
Granted, I never leave the WiFi on or data... but I have the stock ROM with all the crapware that it has... but I flashed that French version of KitKat off of that site that I won't mention (But it's that one that if you're not a paying member, it takes you half a day to download anything).
Pretty happy with KitKat stock rom so far, but that first few hours when when I saw my battery sucked dry before my eyes was pretty disconcerting.

[Q] sudden drop in battery life

I've got the 16gb nexus 7 (non 3g).
I've had it for less then a year and the battery life had been great. But starting over the last few days the battery is horrible. After a full charge over night my battery was down to 50% today. And that's with hardly any use. I used it for maybe an hour total and at least half of that time was just reading reddit.
I haven't changed any settings recently. This is all stock, no mods, not even rooted.
The battery usage right new says it's been 13 hours, and it's down to 48% and Android os accounts for 27% Followed by screen at 18% and WiFi at 9%. Those are the top 3 showing for battery usage.
Any suggestions as to what's going wrong it how to diagnose be fix it?
Thanks
Either your battery is bad or you have a stray process running somewhere.You might want to factory reset it, possibly even reflash your image.

Would the battery go bad that fast though? In my experience batteries usually gradually get worse. This went from losing a few percent of power to losing half power in the span of a day.
I might try the factory reset - just have to make sure everything is backed up. This tablet isn't rooted so i dont have titanium backup on it.

Doubtful it's the battery... my money is on a rogue app!!!
Hi, merkk...
It's possible, that as the previous poster suggests, some rogue app is 'eating' your battery.
The biggest consumer of power is the screen, so ensure you haven't got it set it maximum brightness... and ensure auto-brightness is enabled in settings.
Another thing you can check, is your WiFi setting... on my Nexus 7, I have 'Keep WiFi on during Sleep' set to 'Never'... it's not a setting that is easily found - it's buried in SETTINGS>>Wi-Fi>>overflow MENU (three dots, top right hand corner)>>ADVANCED>>Keep WiFi on during Sleep.
It also might be worth checking if the SYNCING of your respective accounts (Google, Twitter, etc.), haven't been inadvertently changed. Particularly the SYNCING of your Google account... which by default, SYNCs a lot of stuff and frequently. This will keep WiFi awake, and may cause battery drain. Go to SETTINGS>>ACCOUNTS>>GOOGLE and disable what you don't need to be SYNCed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's unfortunate that your Nexus 7 isn't rooted, because there are a couple of excellent diagnostic apps available (GSam Battery Monitor and BetterBatteryStats) which provide more granular and finely detailed battery info/history than the standard Android battery info screen... and are useful for tracking down problematic apps that might be keeping the device unnecessarily awake ('wakelocks', etc.).
However, due to changes in Android 4.4 (KitKat), these apps now require root access to read and report battery stats info.
If your Nexus 7 is running any version of Android BEFORE 4.4 KitKat (and some haven't updated yet), then you don't need root to run these diagnostic apps.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's sometimes the case, with Android, that there will be occasional peculiarities with battery performance... and in my experience, it's almost always the case, it's due to something the user did... some app or widget installed. I'm currently experiencing similar battery issues on my Samsung Galaxy S3, but having run GSam for a couple of days, I think I have the culprit identified. If I can't eliminate the problem, I'll uninstall the app.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope my ruminations are of some use.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Gedblake, thanks for the suggestions. For whatever reason, today it seems to be back to normal. The only thing i did last night was drain the batter to around 10%, turn it off, and let it charge while turned off.
Turned it back on today,used it for about 15 minutes or so playing a game. And now just about 5 hours after turning it on, it's down to 92% which is what I'd normally expect.
I'll try some of your suggestions if the problem re-occurs.
I noticed that my N7 (2012) has been draining quite a bit lately. Watching the battery stats, it seems Google Wallet was eating up some major battery. It was 2nd at 29% with the screen number 1 at 38%.
Not sure what the heck Google Wallet was doing, but I killed it and things seem to have stabilized.
battery drain after update?
For years I've had the same routine. I use my Nexus 7 all day for work, mostly notes. In between I play, (youtube, E-reader, etc). Every night I plug it in to charge and in the morning it's fully charged and ready to go. On Tues, I received the OTA update for 4.4.4 I noticed this morning that after a full night's charge, the battery only reports 50% charge. Is this the beginning of the end? What steps should I take from here? I recently bricked by GS3 so I depend on this thing now more then ever, any help would be sooooo appreciated.

I'd just restart it and let it charge again. I've updated mine a while ago and haven't had any issues.

I'm on a custom 4.4.2 ROM and I have had intermittent draining behavior as well.
Sync is off, location services off, I turn off wifi manually, and I always clear recents before I have my tablet sleep. I have greenify installed. I'm using better battery stats.
My issue seems to be similar, but I am also having battery percentages jump around.
Earlier today it went from 26% to 43% in the middle of me using it. Without charging. It frequently does this, both lesser and greater values reported. I've had my tablet shut down in the 30% range. I've had it shut itself off on 4%. I've had it drain all the way to 0% and then some before shutting down. I've had it turn itself off and when I power it back on the tablet is thinking it is at 25% or more.
I haven't been getting much more than an hour of screen time with my tablet lately. Clean fresh install of my ROM.
But I've never, until the last couple of days, had it go from a small percent to a large percent active during use. I took screenshots. I even started a thread to talk about it but nobody has responded yet.
Has anyone else ran into this behavior? Is it a sign of a soon to be dead battery?
mine got almost 30% drained on idle, airplane mode, screen off for 3 hours (tested on stock rom 4.4.3. GApps + Swiftkey + BBM + Facebook only)
my nexus 7 never lasted a day, only half a day max.
trying GSam app, hope it helps in knowing what's eating up batteries.

Switching from iPhone

I got my new S7 Edge from TMobile last Friday and sent back my iPhone 6+. So far I find the battery life to be complete ****e. I did all the normal things I would with any phone like turning off notifications for everything, turning off auto brightness and setting it low, turned off background usage for everything, enabled no background data, turned off animations, installed nova launcher and a few other things.
For example; I unplugged my phone about 1:30 ago and only played music in my car for about 15 minutes.. my battery is at 80% now. If I actually use the phone I can watch the percentage trickle down by 1 about every 30 seconds. Thats just with browsing the web... If I'm in a game it drops 2% at a time extremely quickly. Maybe I dont understand how it works yet, but I closed all of the open programs and when I go into Application Manager i'm able to "force close" all this stuff. Shouldn't that option be greyed out if I closed all the open apps by pressing the left button? I also installed advanced task manager and used the widget to close open things. It tells me it closes a number of tasks, but they still are able to be "force closed".
This phone is unusable in it's current state. I talked to TMobile chat and after some basic troubleshooting I was told to call, which I will be doing later. So is anyone else having extreme drain like this with nothing open? Also am I not correctly understanding how apps run on Android? I've searched the internet and read a lot of articles on these things and I feel like I understand it somewhat. The features and screen of this phone are a million times better than my iPhone, so i really don't want to switch back. Thanks
TL;DR - Battery drains 20-30% an hour with minimal, sleep usage. Apps stay open after closing. SOS Plz halp
I read in a post that people are having big battery drain because of media scanner service scanning the SD card constantly. I have a 64gb SD card in so this could be it.
Hmm, I have the T-Mobile version as well, and have an SD card inserted. I'm not having any battery drain issues, knock on wood. Took my phone off the charger at 9:30 a.m., it's now 1:30 p.m. and I have 84% left. I've done some texting, some WhatsApp, some Trivia Crack, a couple of phone calls, answered an email or two, did a little browsing in Chrome, and some Snapchat. I also have always-on display turned on.
Not quite as stellar as the battery life on some of my Nokia Lumias, but pretty darn solid, and definitely bests any battery life I've witnessed on Android or iOS.
I don't know all the details of your usage, but it's not like it's complicated so I doubt you're doing anything crazy. I'd bet the issue is either a bad device, or something really simple we're not noticing. Either way, I'd definitely exchange the device while you're in the grace period.
If it's at all relevant, I have the gold variant. I have a co-worker with the black one (also T-Mobile) and seems quite happy with his as well.
That's a really abnormal drain. It sounds like you might have a lemon. I would recommend getting it replaced or backing it up with Smart Switch for PC and doing a hard reset. Sometimes the store reps are helpful with finding battery-draining apps. Sometimes.
I thought it might be bad also. I don't think i could have changed anything that would cause this. I also have Always On Device turned off, anything like that is off... even edge screen features and ones that do something when you move the phone. When I get home im gonna factory reset it and see if its any better. If not I will call TMobile and request a new one.
Yeah, you likely got one with a defective battery. I don't think I could get mine down to 80% from fully charged that fast if I tried.
Yeah you shouldn't be able to lol. Do you know what I was talking about with the apps staying active?
So I did a factory restore last night and left my phone off of the charger overnight. It only dropped by 2% over 8 hours. In the past 2 hours it has only gotten down to 90% even with me downloading all of my apps again. I think the issue is resolved. I'll keep messing with it and see if it's really fixed, but I'm also not getting the SD card notification constantly anymore.

Trying to track down cause of recent battery drain issue.

Hello all,
So I know there's various discussions all over the web about the Galaxy s10 and battery issues on both Snapdragon and Exynos variants. It seems people are experiencing a wide margin of difference in avg battery life..
So here's my situation. My wife and I both have S10+'s through AT&T. We got them the first week they came out. I looked though the forums and performed several battery optimization tweaks on both phones and since then the battery life has been really impressive... No complaints really. Until this last week.
We both recieved the March security patch and fingerprint scanner fix about a week ago. My wife's phone seems unchanged by this. Everything working as expected. My phone however has been draining battery MUCH faster both in SOT and standby time. I'm losing 2-3x more battery % overnight. In the last 20 mins of just reading through threads on the XDA forum app, I've lost about 10% battery. I'm sitting in the dark with my screen brightness very low too. (down another 5% since I started typing this!)
My wife and I have very similar phone habits. Since both our phones are optimized identically, and we used most of the same apps a play the same games, I started looking through everything different I've done in my phone since this problem started. I installed Adhell3, which seems to be setup properly and working. Mike B. from Adhell's Discord assured me that Adhell shouldn't be draining my battery. I'm mostly using it just to remove a bunch of basic bloatware and block some ads.
The update seems to have worked fine otherwise. My FP scanner is much better now, but something is definitely wrong. I've tried wiping the partition cache afterwards. I've tracked down others experiencing issues after this particular update, but cant seem to find a way to fix this problem yet. I saw something about Deep Sleep problems after the update when someone uses a VOIP service like Skype or WhatsApp, but I dont use anything like that. I can't even find a good tool to use to see more information about my battery usage, as the built-in battery monitor lacks a good deal of information. CPUspy doesn't work on my version.
If anyone has any ideas of what could be the culprit, what else I could try, or what tools I could use to try and track down what exactly is causing this sudden increase in drain, I'd really appreciate it.
Which update do you have ASBA or ASCA? This is rather weird, Battery drain can also come from restoring from backups. I lose 2% every night and my phone is on airplane mode, not connected to anything except location. I do not have adhell, and last time I tested before the fingerprint update I had 10h SoT on wifi purely. When I got the new fingerprint update I checked if the phone went to deep sleep and it does, so I really do not know what might be your issue. I have an exynos variant btw. Also I charge my phone constantly from 80 I let it drop to 40 and charge it back, I do not use fast charging options. Since unplugging my phone now on LTE fully I have lost 1% in 30 min, I have my fitbit always connected, location on, max resolution, I have a semi black wallpaper and brightness around 40-50%.
I will see today how much SoT I can get from 80% part wifi, part LTE, I will update.
clear cache helped a lot of people
Update 1
Reset all phone settings to factory. Don't do full factory reset, just all the settings, fixed my post update battery drain issues
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Update 2
Hrrm. It seems I don't have ASBA or ASCA, I have ASD3. The March update.
I'm really hoping I don't end up having to factory reset and manually install everything... Because I did do a restore from backup with AT&T Transfer, because it seemed really convenient and time saving. I had no idea that so many people have had issues with restoring from various back up services (AT&T, Samsung, Google etc.)
I did the same restore from backup on my wife's S10+ too and she's had no problems. Her battery life is phenomenal. My battery issues only started after this last update.

Well that seems rather strange to be honest, you can eliminate possibilities by just testing and see what works. Last possibility can be that factory resetting and installing all new, but then again, it could be that it solves your issues or not. You should be having rather horizontal lines to prove your phone is truly going into deep sleep in my opinion, but also you can check with CPU Spy
Sorry it will be this pic
Try to log too safe mode and check the battery drain
If stopped then it was from an application that have a problem
If not I think it might be a system app or something
So. I'm starting to think that some of my problem has to do with wakelocks. Unfortunately I have limited access to wakelocks statistics since my phone is unrooted. However. Last night I fully charged my phone right before bed and then took it off the charger to see how much it would lose overnight. It dropped a whopping 10% vs the 1-2% it used to.
I looked through some of the battery info and noticed several apps running in the background for very long periods of time since last night. Chrome(2hrs) , Discord(2hrs), Google Play Services(a whopping 13hrs 30mins running in background) and Google Play store (5hrs)
Somehow Discord was responsible for draining 7.6% battery in that time!
So, could this be a wakelock issue causing my phone to lose so much battery overnight? I know that's only half the problem, because I'm also experiencing higher drain than usual while using certain apps too. But I'm trying to figure out one thing at time.

You just need to tweak your settings more, put which apps do not run on the background or go to sleep, how many days you need to wait to put unused apps to sleep. Is all tweaking the settings.

Then I don't what you can do, either do a factory reset and so not restore anything from backups and see if that works. I usually set my phone that way, clean no restoration from any backup all apps are installed manually, and I do not even use adhell to disable most of Samsung crap apps and services.
