I did a search and looked through the threads, some were similar but none were exactly like mine... which has me worried. also google didn't help... which has me worried
My battery charges, and discharges ( i think) normally. I don't see any problem with the actual usage. But, the battery indicator only updates when it is plugged in or unplugged, or i restart it. while it's running it doesn't update, so i have to guess at the level of battery.
I just bought a "re-certified" one from newegg. it did the latest ICS OTA update immediately after turning it on. It had this problem on stock OTA, but i have since rooted it with ViperMOD (still stock ROM), and the issue is still there.
I have read about battery calibration, deleting battery stats, etc - would these be applicable? how do I actually go about doing it?
Thanks for any info!
I would backup all my data (Using Titanium Backup), backup your ROM then either flash to something new or delete all your data. Obviously you can restore everything once your done but just to see if this is a software or hardware issue.
Have you tried any other battery widget? Does it update in settings -> about tablet -> status and/or settings -> battery?
If not, you should try reflashing like mike suggested.
I have tried "Beautiful Widgets" battery widget, as well as stats - and they all show the same level.
ty, will do. do you have a recommendation for rom? stock like with stability and battery life? no dock...
Android Revolution HD look ok?
thanks again
yeah didn't help. i did a wipe from within CWM, and installed Android Revolution.
Is there anything i can do to wipe to wipe it further, safely? before i go through the process of trying to RMA it.
I am fully charging it and then will reset the battery stats and discharge it, as that's said to be good anyway once in awhile and i don't have anything better to do...
if it comes down to it, how might i unroot before sending this back? i have the image from before flashing, but that was after rooting and installing CWM.
Deleting battery stats won't improve your battery life. It's a MYTH.

The correct way to calibrate your battery is to discharge it 2-3 times after flashing a new rom/kernel.
Hi guys, please help me solve this. I am using a stock Asian rom, i have rooted it and installed official touch CWM. i have charged my phone like 5 times already and i have had my phone for 4 days. So today i wanted to check how long my battery lasts so i have charged it to 100% and unplugged it from charger since 11.16 am this morning. You see as long i don't reboot my phone the stats are ok, but after i reboot the stats are reset and show only since boot or the last 3 hours. i can't seem to see the whole history since charged i have attached a screen as you can see it shows 81% but usage is 1h 53mins which is not, as i stated earlier i unplugged my phone from charger since 11.16 am and now its 10.46 pm so around 11 hours and 30 minutes of use. I am thinking now of flashing my rom to fresh state but its a time consuming thing, and i don't want to result to that option.
Update on Status
By the way i found another post suggesting i wipe the battery stats. Since there isn't that option in recovery i did that manually by deleting data/system/batterystats.bin after i fully charged the phone and wiped cache partition, and wipe Dalvik cache.
But after reboot i tried to reboot again and it didn't show my first boot history time, so it's as if the battery history isn't saved or it's reset,
By the way i checked the battery with BetterBatteryStats and it only gives 1 option to view history and thats since boot, but when i did my first boot after deleting batterystats.bin, BetterBatteryStats gave me the option to view since charged and unplugged but not any more.
so far i don't see any other option but to install a fresh stock.
Hi
I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to lollipop 5 (N9005XXUGBOH8).
I did a wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.
I have no issues with the new Software, the only issue is that the battery % go down very quickly.
Is there a fix or steps to fix the issue?
TX u in advance.
I'm facing the same problem. After Having a full charge, battery dropped 3% upon booting phone. Currently using aryamod7. 2 and lean kernel.
Check if your apps are using too much Mobile Radio, it's rather common in Lollipop and so far there is no solution. Other than that, download BetterBatteryStats and check if there is any app causing your phone to remain awake thru wakelocks.
I went back to stock by flashing this KDZ "Hungary OPEN 16GB D80230a_00" but i've noticed that my battery drains so fast, i checked the battery graph, and there's the android system that keep draining my battery
i did some research on the web and most of solution were about doing a factory reset so i did it with no luck, the same battery!
so i'd appreciate if there's any suggested solutions
Hi all,
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp on my G5 plus. Before I unlocked my bootloader I had amazing battery life. 8 hours and 15 minutes of sot at the most. Now I'm getting terrible battery life. I can't even last half a day. Does the phone understand how you use it and optimize the Snapdragon 625 or is it something else.
Edit: It also drains battery on standby
You have an app that is not allowing the phone to sleep... Install GSAM or other similar battery usage monitoring app and see what the offender is.
What about the general battery drain. Before I flashed twrp and unlocked my bootloader I used to be able to make it from 6 a.m to 8 p.m. Today is my first day using my phone after unlocking my bootloader and flashing TWRP. After I set up my phone again (the bootloader erased all my data) I set up my phone and charged it over night. By this time of the day I should be at around 70% but I am at 49%. How do I fix this battery drain issue.
It drains 1% every minute to minute and a half.
I'm planning to revert back to stock. How do I relock my bootloader and remove twrp. Can someone please provide instructions and the links for the files to be download
Unlocking, installing TWRP, and rooting are NOT the cause of your battery drain... you should determine that first.
"Relocking" and returning to pure stock can be easy, or difficult, depending on your software version. If you were on the latest stock version then you will have to wait, because to relock the bootloader you must have a complete, digitally signed, factory firmware image that is flashed via fastboot... the process is well documented, but you cannot downgrade to do it, you must flash the same or a newer version than what is installed in your device currently.
See the problem yet? Yup, exactly... we don't have a full factory image of the latest version. We might get one tomorrow, might get one in 3 months, a year, or never, we don't know as all of them are leaks because Moto does not officially support that level of user self-repair on non-developer models.
So we go back to what I said at the beginning... Unlocking, installing TWRP, and rooting are NOT the cause of your battery drain... Work on that first, what have you tried?
Have you installed GSAM and looked at the monitors to see exactly WHAT is draining battery? Have you wiped the cache partition(s) in TWRP? Have you done a full factory reset?
You have decided to root... unfortunately this is not a Nexus device, you can't just stick your toe in and if the water is too cold you have can pull it out and forget going in the pool, for better or worse, now you have to jump in and just get used to it.
I got gsam and I fully recharged my battery with the included wall adapter. I'm getting slightly better battery life but I'll see what app is the culprit after a full days use tommorow
I was at 92% and now I'm suddenly at 89%. Did it really drain 3% or is my battery not calibrated

Let it go to at least 70% or lower, then post a screenshot of GSAM
Did you do the cache wipes?
And "battery calibration" isn't a thing anymore, it's automatic every charge cycle.
I'm not rooted so I have to enable the extra stats thing through adb when I get home. Is it clearing the cache?
Sorry I'm kind to new to this but what are cache wipes

Wait... You are not rooted, all you did was unlock and flash TWRP and nothing else?
Ok, power off and start TWRP, go to Wipes and Advanced, tick Cache and Dalvik Cache (verify nothing else is selected), and swipe to confirm and perform the action. Press Home - Reboot - System and let it reboot, if prompted about no SuperSU or Root, DON'T DO IT! Skip, ignore, not now, or whatever so it doesn't do anything but reboot. It will take more time than a normal reboot, so he patient. This does not harm your data or files in any way.
Ok I tried it. It surprisingly took under a minute.
I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks
I tried to root but it didn't work. I first tried super su. I flashed it by twrp and it was successful. But when I went to twrp and I opened super su I could see the root check app in the background but super su kept on telling me that the super su binary wasn't installed. So I had root access but I had no control over it. Even cpu z told me that I was rooted. So I decided to uninstall super su and I re flashed it but the same thing happened again. One of my friends the told me to try out Magisk(apparently you could hide you have root access from apps). I tried to flash Magisk for the first time but it give me two errors while flashing it. When I opened the app it asked me to get the Magisk manager but for some reason they removed the Magisk manager from the play store. I did the same thing again but this time I got the apk for Magisk Manager 14.0 from apk mirror and it didn't work for me. So I uninstalled Magisk. So then I went to Snapchat and it didn't let me login because apparently Snapchat doesn't let rooted users use it. So then I decided to do a factory reset yesterday. (Before all this my battery life was normal about my usual 7 hours of sot). Then yesterday evening I noticed that it was draining a lot of battery. So someone said there was a fix only for the standby mode using minimal adb which basically forces the device to doze. So I have force dozed enabled and my standby battery life is really good. I slept with 62% and I woke up this morning with 62%(so that made a huge difference). I just cleared the dalvik cache and normal cache towards twrp and it seems like it's really helping. I'll change it fully again and hopefully things get better.
Clearing the cache and dalvik cache didn't help me
Did you try just installing the SuperSU app from the Play Store?
Is this really real?

What are you asking about?
Yes it is. I'm giving an overview of what I did in case if I did something wrong while flashing super su. I found what's draining the battery. It's the cell standby
