[Help] Battery problem

My battery is draining too fast after upgrading to android 4.3. Even only on 2g there is 1% decrease in battery almost after every 3 minutes. But with screen off it will remain almost at 99% after even 12 hours or more. But when I start using the phone for something like even navigating through the settings the battery drops 1% every 3 minutes or even less. My handset is about a month old. I am from India and running the ML4 android 4.3 recently released by Samsung. There is no wakelock when the screen is asleep. The phone screen consumes between 60 to 90% of the battery or more. I factory reset it thrice since the update but with no effect. I am running the 4.3 update for about 3 weeks now. I also installed Greenify, battery doctor, juice defender etc to save battery but there is no improvement. I installed the same apps that I installed on the 4.1.2 firmware but the battery is draining quite faster in the 4.3 version. I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

Do a clean install with Odin?

I remember my 4.1.2 had the same battery consumption and with 4.3 it remained unchanged(if not better). I think you just gonna get used to that .
Use your phone and stop thinking and worrying about battery. Though I charge my phone twice a day because I use wi-fi a lot,I still don't worry or something.

I have this habit of doing clean install. No mistake with that.

1% every three minute. I think its normal.
Charge to 100% and use normally till 5% and then post the screenshot of battery stats here.

With normal usage it is more than 10 hours at 77%. May be it's normal but it last more than that on 4.1.2

It is normal battery drain.
Battery on 4.3 is almost same as 4.1. What else do you expect its a quad core phone.

If I browse the internet non-stop from 100% batttery then, after around 3 hours the battery is 20-30%. Is this also normal.

Maybe your battery is damaged ...
otherwise you can check for wakelocks using Better Battery Stats:

This is funny! You mean to say that the upgrade to android 4.3 has damaged my battery? The battery is not even 1 month old as I mentioned in the first post. The battery is very good on android 4.1.2...... As I mentioned in the first post, there is no battery drain when the screen is off. Even after 24 hours the battery is 99% from 100% with screen off. Why should I checked for wakelocks when the battery is fine on screen off? I did checked it to be sure but no wakelocks. The battery problem is when I use the phone, the battery is draining abnormally when the phone is used. Anyway thanks for your reply.

Using BetterBatteryStats will nevertheless help you to find out which process is consuming your battery…

Yes, 4.3 upgrade downgraded my battery life about 20% when I am using my phone. On idle it is better about 10-20% also compared with 4.1.2. It is useless to do factory resets or other nonsense. Just it is as is.

You are right! There is no use resetting the phone. It won't improve your battery's performance. I think it's a bug of android 4.3.

I think you need to try someone else's battery in your phone to see if you have the same problem then

Okey So Firstly I rule Out Few Assumptions Made By Some Members(No Offense):
1) As thadoukuki said battery Drains only while using the phone and not wen its idle that means its not a wakelock for sure.
2)Secondly as the handset n battery ofcourse, are just a month old i dont even assume it to be damaged(Trust Sammy)
3)Thirdly 1% / 3Mins is quite normal on extensive Usage but as you say its just while navigating around settings etc. den i assume its a bit high.
4) Now betterbatterystats is good to identify what consumes your battery but ive never been a fan of that actually.
SO according to me try to do some trial n error work .
Instead of Freezing apps through TB u can use Greenify Donate to greenify system apps and user apps as well. It Does same job as TB freeze but without that extra hassle.
Secondly Choose a kernel that you think is battery friendly for you like the one which gives you peace of mind(Oh Yeah Battery's Draining Slow!!)
for me i'd go for Boeffla or Googymax
Choose a battery friendly Governer for ur CPU(For me Boeffla kernel with Archi_ultra_power_save governer gives great results)
Check if CPU Touch boost is Enabled in Kernel Settings coz Touch Boost gave me good performance and responsiveness but even i had observed that battery used to drain faster with it.
Battery friendly Rom with few Tweaks by xda members is always better for me over Stock( ArchiDroid Is the Rom ive ever Used){Personal Opinion}
Ppl Say undervolting helps .....hmm maybe ive never Done it but as you are very cautious about battery you may try it (on your own Risk)
Lets see if that Helps
And Lastly i never Observed much Change in Battery drain pattern wen Coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3 so thats not really true.

This is your battery saving tip!!!
Ohh man we never knew that.
Great observation.

infinite battery life
Try using the infinate battery life script, if you are rooted. This can help increase the battery life by far. Hope this helps.

If you want more battery, root you're device and install a battery life script. If anyone wants to link I can give it to them. If this does not help and you done to root the device install a external battery life booster from the play store. Hope this helps if not pm me or reply. Good luck, if your device does not last at least a full day without charging turn down the brightness settings on the device as this will improve battery life. Another way would be to close any unwanted apps and 3g/wifi as this can drain battery usage. Hope this helps?

@ANDROmodderHD, I have just one "noobish" question: Why are you spamming? :'3
You are just asking us to just keep the phone on standby, turn off everything, even the apps we are using even those we need to be kept running and even turn off the internet, pull down the brightness to zero so that we can't see anything out under the sun. Then what do we do with the phone? Throw it away into the storeroom or sell it?

You could sell it if you like. I know where you are coming from but if you just turned up the brightness when you are using it then you can turn it down when you are not. This could help.

Don't you think the phone will be on standby with the display *off* when I am not using it? How will the brightness level matter then?
PS. You are damn interesting

I found out the battery lasts more then 24 hours when on a low to medium brightness setting. Even when you are not using it. Why don't you take a test to see if the battery would last more longer if it was on a higher or lower brightness setting when you are not using the phone. My battery life can last more than a day. So see for yourself.

I can't imagine how battery brightness can affect battery life when screen is off, I mean, no matter if you have brightness at maximum because screen is off.

C'mon man. We don't need to test because we know the phone is not stupid. What you are experiencing is called a "placebo" effect dude. Use your brains and don't act so noobish, no offense but this is getting irritating. I too made the battery last for 2 and half days when I did not use the phone at all because I was damn sick.
For improving battery life, try keeping the CPU clock to lowest (300MHz) when the phone is on standby. By default, the minimum freq. on LP is set to 787MHz unlike that of on KK which is 300Mhz. Just revert it back to 300MHz as min and set the governor to interactive. Or, ever heard of "deep sleep?" That's the best battery saving technique.

Exactly..!!

Stupidity ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Btw guys u can use GREENIFY app for saving battery and also xposed modules like Boot Manager.

Or flash a custom kernel which can sometimes make the battery last longer. This depends if you are already running cm or any other Rom with a custom kernel.

O.O
.... *slowly walks away*

Is this thread still going on??

Yes, if you want it to be on. Anyways this might be slightly of topic but is anyone running a custom rom. I know this may be off topic but has anyone got LP working on their device? Hope the update is good, what does everyone think about LP? Do you like it more than kitkat?

Is a high battery usage when screen is on (1%/minute) normal?

Hello,
I am using a Note 3 since yesterday and I noticed a very weird battery usage pattern.
When the screen is on it consumes about 1%/minutes, which looks crazy high to me. On the opposite, when the screen is off it consumes close to nothing.
Is this normal?
I'm running a stock Android 5.0, I factory reset it yesterday and I don't have any power hungry services running in the background.
The phone has not been used for a few months I don't know if that could be the cause of the issue.

It is very normal if 3g or Wi-Fi is on and play games on high brightness.

I am on 3G/WiFi, but I'm not doing anything computationally intensive. I'm mostly reading email, using WhatsApp. I'm not even watching videos.
Brightness is set on 3 out of 10 with automatic regulation so I'd not think it's it.

That was what I suspected. I think I'm going to order a new battery and see if that helps.

Yep, weakened battery. 1% per minute, while you are just reading emails and stuffs means 100 minutes, that is simply not possible, Note 3 with a fresh battery should output at least 3-3.5 hours of Screen On Time, and a little more if on WiFi.

I'm on Wi-Fi. 7-8hour using, 3.5-4hour Screen On Time. With Clash of Clans 1-2hour Screen-On-Time. Gaming Clash of Clans (drains battery more than all other 3D games). Is this normal? I not sure, other Note3 Snapdragon users also run battery with 8hour with 3hour Sreen-On-Time. Maybe my battery bad? Or good?
Thanks!

Update to Latest official firmware and not use Root if no necessary. Battery is good without Root and latest Stock. 2% per 5minute with Wi-Fi in Internet browsing. I think this is good

Well gaming certainly drains significantly more battery than normal usage, that's for sure, but I honestly have no idea about that game and how much CPU and GPU intensive it is, but if its a demanding game then I would say its normal.

Before you start buying new batteries, I think you should check your phones wake locks.
This method added significant battery life to my SM-N900P. Go to settings/device/sounds and notifications/other sounds and disable Screen Lock Sound, Touch Sounds, and Haptic Feedback. Or just disable everything in that section (which I did)

None of those are active. Also, wake-locks should affect mostly the battery drain when I'm not using the phone (they keep it active). How do they relate to my problem?

i have this problem too!
if turn off power saving its going to die
i try others rom like Pheronsis Rom V.x ... Aurora Rom and many other but those have bad battry drain worse than stock Samy lollipop.
and now on dark lord rom its better and battry using like stock rom.
however i have battry drain!
i changed the battry but it didn't solve my problem!
i think problem is wifi network and everlasting screen on

You can try to track down what's consuming your battery using an app that gives you more insight that the system one. I am trying GSam battery monitor and I think it's quite good.
By the way, it reports that my phone is getting [email protected] I'd like to compare this data with someone else. Also, it reports that the processes taking most of the power are Android System and the kernel, which should mean that I don't have any process eating up too much battery

Abysmal Battery Life

Hey guys,
I've joined the club and bought an Axon 7 A2017G.
In my first 2 days of usage, I noticed I needed to charge the phone at least twice per day.
After reading quite a few threads about this issue, I installed GSam battery monitor. It lists my SOT as 1hr 13 minutes, and battery life at 10 hours.
At turning just about everything off, installing Greenify and applying aggressive doze, I was no longer getting a wakelock.
I have however found that GSam shows that my screen is discharging over twice as much battery power, as compared to having the screen on.
I was wondering if this was normal, and if not, any suggestions in increasing battery life?

Not normal try a reset.

Something keeping the phone awake, haven't used gsam in ages.. betterbatterystats is far superior in helping track down what's keeping it awake but requires root.

You can use this app to access original battery stat. Works very well.

I'll try that next. I've just completed a factory reset, so hopefully that helps out.
I found it quite strange that Screen Off used more power (52%) than Screen on (20%).
GSam didn't report any wakelock, and the phone was in doze quite often.

Seems that the factory reset has done the trick.
Now trickle re-installing apps.
Fingers crossed that battery usage stays relatively normal.

How's the battery performing now?
Mine seems mediocre. After charging overnight I usually need to charge in the evening. I get about 10hrs per charge with 2-2.5hrs SoT. Are you getting better results than this after the FR?
Thanks!

As GSam hasn't gotten all required data yet, I will go off what Android reports.
I have used 30% of my battery in 9 hours, with approximately the screen on for 3 hours. Bear in mind that I've had wifi on for approximately 5 hours with a mixture of screen on and off.
Just having a stab in the dark here, but, two apps that I haven't redownloaded are Swiftkey and Nova Launcher. Instead I installed GBoard and Google Launcher. Don't know if that had mde any difference.
So yes, far better results after the FR

I also did the force update to B09 before the FR. According to ZTE it offers improved battery performance, but I didn't notice any improvement from B08, whilst I used it.
Good luck and I hope the battery sorts itself out

I was a little confused what you meant by B09 but I see you've got the A2017G. I'm on the A2017U so I think my equivalent update is the B29 which is what I'm on. I've got tons of apps to backup so I'm going to try resetting tonight. Think I might unlock the bootloader and consider rooting while I'm at it

I've been using cm13 and sometimes Android system drains too much, so I will go to TWRP and wipe dalvik cache and it greatly improves battery life. Takes 20 minutes, but is great for getting 5.5 hrs sot.

Only get ~2 hours of on screen time - "Android System" battery drain

I am on the latest 7.0 beta, T-Mobile version, I am getting pretty frustrated. I only get ~2 hours of on screen time. Right now at 30% and Android System has used 1350 mAh and CPU total is close to 5 hours.
Attached some pictures from yesterday and basically the same exact thing - maybe one of the packages listed is killing the battery?
I know there are a lot of posts about this issue but nothing that I've found useful unfortunatlely.

Did you try a factory reset? That help me get good battery life.

Been thinking about doing that, but not sure why it got really bad all of a sudden. I could get 3 to 4 hours before.
I think I'll wait until the official release is out and then do a reset - hopefully it comes out soon.

Still on 6.0.1 & Android System is my #1 battery drainer.

I am getting pretty fed up. Thought the new updates would make it better but no go for me.

If only you got root, I strongly recommend using Myandroidtools/disable service. Samsung roms sucks pretty bad, I have never ever experienced something like battery drain on other phones. Since I disabled 80+ Google Services and some samsung bloat, android system takes about 2-4% drain after a whole day. I am using Renovate on nougat.

Looks like a lot of you are very unlucky. My battery life is superb! At the end of the day I still have ~35% battery remaining. I recharge every night regardless of how much battery I have left, so it does me just fine

I would strongly advise to stay away from any of those 'fancy' package disablers.
They do no good and often deteriate things. I have on average over 8hours SOT and never used disablers.
Most Samsung apps don't put any drain on the battery. It's things like Facebook etc that hog resources.

Yeah, if only i got Facebook apps installed. I have fully working locations, notifications and other stuff - most of services I disabled are feedbacks, silent loggers and stuff I dont need or use. Only corrupted app is Gmail - which I don't use.
I got sync switched on, lots of calls, auto brightness, voice assistant and usually get 5 hours SOT during my usage which isn't bad at all.

So not sure what did it, but I installed Greenify and also changed from 1080p to 1440p and I get about 3ish hours on screen time. Still terrible but will do for now.
My phone also feels faster after changing resolution back to 1440p. So weird.

Disable ubication and always on display.

I mean location. Aod takes almost 40% of battery in 24 hours.

I remember Samsung saying it only consumes a couple a percentage points.
This article tested and it's nowhere near 40%. And I use the phone about 15 hours before it gets charged again so it should have a huge impact.

Okay, stop reading useless news and try it by yourself. Phone dont go fully in doze mode with AOD on and keeps light and other sensors on like proximity to put more or less light in the aod screen. You are complaining about **** battery and I am telling you that I have tested how aod can take 40% of battery in one day. You really believe samsung? Come on...

I really don't think you're right as that's not my experience either. I cited the article because usually the tech websites have some experience - my anecdotal data, or yours, doesn't carry much weight.
As posted before, my screen time has increased and keeps going up. Got near 4 hours of on screen time today. Greenify must have killed a process that was putting the CPU on overdrive and which showed up under Android System. I shouldn't have to take the time to find fixes however since Samsung and the Doze feature should be doing this already.
I appreciate your advice, no need to get upset we're just having a discussion...

I don't really see a discussion in the fact that AOD uses a lot of battery if you keep it on all day, it's pretty much guaranteed that AOD is the main culprit. And your own experience with your phone and its settings is worth a lot more than the experiences from some tech website. Everyone's phone/settings is different.
