Battery problems bit serious

Few days back my battery suddenly got drained that too when I was sleeping. It was something around 35% before sleeping and it was fully drained by the morning.
This thing happened again but that time I fortunately got awake and charged it till 60% and again in next 2 hrs (when I was sleeping) it lost 20% of battery. Will try 2 attach this incidence pics.
In 3rd incidence I charged my battery fully and suddenly my phone got heated up and got switched off. Even after pressing switching on button it didn't start than I removed the battery and reinserted it. And than it got switched on automatically (without pressing the switch on button), at that time my battery got drained by 15% without any use.
What might b the reason for it? Even my cousin is facing similar prob.
Plz help

Pic will tell u how fast it got drained when my use was minimum. usually I lost 5 to 7 % of battery when sleep

this happens when you flash the ROMS quite often without calibrating the battery. First wipe the batterystats and let the battery drain completely and follow the procedure mentioned below:
1. try to calibrate the battery by switching off phone and plug the charger in, till it completes 100%. Once it gives the signal of 100%, then immediately remove the battery and wait for 5 mins and then reinsert the battery and power on(Entropy Method)
Sorry my friend... after going through your pic, I found there is a ANDROID OS bug. Try to flash the new firmware from sammobile or from the XDA forum (Example PDA: KJ3 and modem XXKI4). This will resolve your problem!

What rom are you using? I had a similar issue using gingermod and the cook said the oc was to mutch for me so I deleted ocdaemon and two weeks later still no problems.

Can the overheating while charging caused by this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

We need to know what rom your using. What apps are always syncing. More details please. Also download BBS (betterbatterystats) and look for wakelocks that could be stopping the phone from entering deep sleep

Weekday is the meaning of ROM, calibrating battery?

frnds plz reply. After reading that I have OS bug m getting tensed. For information (i don't know whether it is useful) my phone is not rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

^ No need to worry. The OS bug is something that does exist, although often people look at a screenshot and give a false positive diagnosis, based on a small sampling. We need to know how much cpu time your things have on that graph, so do another screenshot but take screen shots of the values of each line, for example we need to see your details for screen on time, android os, the top 3-4 items really.
Next thing, like somebody said, dl better battery stats. It's a good app made by a clever chap on these forums. Charge the phone up and do what you do. When the battery is starting to be close to finished, take a screenshot from within the app for "partial wakelocks" The list can be long so sometimes you will need a few shots, as you scroll down the list.
Rule of thumb. Battery killers should float to the top of that list. High time (min/sec) and high count are equal culprits. Example, one thing may wakelock your phone for 15 minutes, in a single event, another thing may wakelock you for a total of 3 minutes, but occurring in a thousand split second events. Imagine waking up every minute, for a second then sleeping again. If you were a battery doing this you would drain quickly too!
If your wakelocks are low and display time is low, your battery is either not calibrated (instructions a few posts up) maybe changing ROM and kernel could help, but now we are approaching the possibility that your battery might be defective and a warranty swap could be in order.

Thanks for the reply.
Here are few pics of top 5 items on that list.
Although der was sudden fall in battery but it was due 2 my use

From your screenshots, I could see that, google backup transport may be the reaason for battery drain. Go to settings->privacy-> disable the backup and restore and then see if it make any difference!

Thanks a lot.
I have disabled it (backup think)
can i upload the pics immediately from BBS app? i mean will it show the proper records? or should i wait till it get drained out?

You can post the screenshots. After using a while. Post the screenshots with partial wakelocks, then we see what applications are draining the battery.

It depends what you are doing.
Download better battery stats (from xda) or wake lock detector from the play store to see of you have an app that is draining the battery

If the phone is just idle than no, I lose around 4% over 8 hrs when the phone is idle if that's any help. I also try to clear out the active apps via clear memory as this seems to be the only true way to stop a active app.

that's not normal unless you have your screen on for the majority of that time. I usually get 16 hours of battery life with 3.5 - 4 hours of screen time each day. I have wifi, bluetooth, and all gestures on with screen brightness at max. This suits my needs.

2- 3 % a hour on sleep.about 10% which screen on.

2-3% over 8 hours idle

Any phone with a 5 inch screen using LTE ain't gonna last.. I don't care what you try doing to it. Go on ebay and pick up a few extra batteries and chargers. It's was easier and you don't have to worry about battery drain as much

[Q] Betterbatterystats help

Hi, I need help to figure out why I'm getting so more much awake time than screen on time.
According to the partial wake lock stats audioout_2 is the one that keeps waking up my phone... Tho the time running is not very high so I'm a little confuse here...
Is anything else I'm missing here??
Thanks
PD sorry for my bad English

hi..
Audio out 2 is the touch/screenlock sounds.
try disable and monitor it in BBS again in few hours' time.

Playing music will cause AudioOut_2 wakelock.
I get it when using any music player.

Hi, I already have touchscreen wakelock sound disabled.
Using wakelock detector, I found Facebook app is draining a lot of battery, but I'm not sure If that's the app that causes the audioout_2 wakelock.
I downloaded greenify , so I'll try add the app there.
Thanks

Hi, at the moment I'm not using my phone for playing songs. Maybe some other app? I've read that viber could cause this wakelock, I uninstall it but still the same.
Thanks!

hi.
yes, viber does cause wakelocks.
try to post screenshots of BBS partial wakelocks after 4 hours idle time (without any interruptions), with the sound disable and other apps that u think that causes wakelocks

whatsapp is another wakelock culprit preventing yr device to deep sleep..
what I would suggest to u is to unchecked sync contacts in whatsapp setting.
that would minimise the wakelocks if u still intend to use it.
so does exchange mail service..
maybe try to change refresh intervals to 4 hours and monitor it from there.
nlp collector is caused by location is being turned on in yr device settings.
turn location to off if u want it to go away.
and after 4 hours, post a dump file from BBS here again, mate.
other things to look at BBS is the high number of counts on each services running in the partial wakelocks.
besides these, there are more..

thats was a test, when i let my phone alone for 4 hours... In normal use is 3%/h

had the same issue(AudioOut drain without playing any music), turned out to be the lock-screen sound effect drains the battery after locking the screen. disabled it , no more drain

My battery life has been terrible today...

As the title states, my battery life has struggled mightily today. Check out my pics, what do you think could be causing this?

the 1positive with mine so far is the battery. i go all day (12-14hrs) with moderate use and still have 30% charge when i plug it in.

That's terrible. You got an app freaking out. I noticed a huge drop in battery life when I put on a different sms app.

Held awake for 3 hours because your screen was on for almost that long. Right?

one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.

Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.
Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life

Ok guys, here is how my battery has been doing since I made the changes that everyone suggested. Am I in good shape?

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again

Battery draining extremely fast

I currently have 3 h 24 min on battery and I only have 50% left. I am on 4.4.2. Could this be normal for KitKat?

Are you a heavy user? Is your wifi/3G/4G always on? Can you post screenshot of your battery stats?

No, I've been a battery saver since I got this phone. I'm only using data when I need to and don't have access to wifi. Both mobile data and wifi are never on simultaneosly.

Look if the serial number of your battery starts with BD and if it's swollen. If this is the case, go to a Samsung service and you will get a new one for free.
