Hi guys. Since last week my Galaxy s4's battery is getting empty very quickly.
In config > Battery I get this results (last night it was in airplane mode)
From 100% - 58% in 4 hours (in airplane mode)
GPSD 48%
Anfroid OS 26%
Inactive 17%
Android system 6%
Google Play services 2%
I've already tried restoring to factory values but nothing happened.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi mate ,
First thing we need to do to find out who is keeping your phone awake is using an app like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Let it run for a few hours and then check the logs,,,there is the information needed.
meanwhile check you settings , google locations , wheather apps , Maps ( huge battery hog)...
Here are some screenshots

Hi mate,
GPSD wakelock ( and L2_hsic) may be caused by an unstable network , try setting the network mode to wcdma only not to auto connect , try a different modem to see if you get a better signal response..review the settings in your apps like google location , maps , FB
Check this thread

Check your fast dormancy setting , turn it off

your battery need to be re-calibrated.
to do it follow my steps and your battery should be fine again.
charge your phone to 100%
use it till the phone shuts down (dont overuse it use it normally as you use daily)
now charge the phone till 100% without using it
repeat the procedure 2-3 times and now you have brand new battery
Hi guys! Thanks for helping me. I've what you recommended me to do but I couldn't achieve to fix the problem. I didn't try to disable fast dormancy because the procedure required to grant root access and I don't want to void the warranty unless it's the only way.
Before you experienced this draining, was battery life good or was the draining slowly getting worse and worse?

The battery was working fine before this. It happened from one day to the other.-
I've found a partial solution to fix the problem. I changed the network mode from wcdma to GSM only and the reboot. Look at the screenshots after

Hi,
you could try to flash a new baseband, which can improve your signal strength. It's only strange that your problem appeared from one day to the other, but I think it would be worth a try anyway
Here's a link with actual modems:

Hello everybody! I have very anoying problem with my LG G2 (stock 4.4.2) Every night when i fall asleep it drains about 10% for 7-8hours overnight. I tried everything - turned off wifi and mobile data , KNOCK On/OFF and it still drain 10% . In the battery setting it shows that all the drain is from Cell Standby , so the next night i charged the phone to 100% and switched to air-plane mode + everything turned off and the phone still drain 9%-10%-11% for 8hrs no-useage. After airplane mode the battery show that "Phone idle" drain the battery.
PLEASE HELP ?

Download and Install BetterBatteryStats.
Once installed properly, charge your phone 100%, then unplug and leave it on over night. DO NOT USE IT DURING THE NIGHT.
The next morning, grab your "since unplugged" logcat from the application and post it into the thread and ask nicely for it to be reviewed, or you could review it yourself and use the GUI to see which resources are hogging the most battery.
It's a very user friendly application.

Thank you so much! I will try it. :highfive::highfive::highfive:
Can someone please tell me why these 2 things are consuming so much of battery??
Although the screen on time is around 2 hours...
That's pretty bad screen on time. Normal use got me about 2h SOT at 70%. Check if you enabled sync or NFC.

sync is enabled, but nfc is not....
it has been since a few weeks, i don't know why!!
i remember watching movies on it for about 4-5 hours and battery left was about 50%
Disable sync. It takes up a lot of battery. If you can't disable, set sync interval longer or to manual.
will change the sync to off...and see if that has any significant change....thanks
No improvement even after disabling sync.
I noticed today a instant drop in battery percentage when I reboot the phone.
Also I found out in a thread about cupid showing the capacity as 2100 maH in some note 3...I found the same on mine...
Is it some calibration issue...??

First try to turn off the phone completely and turn it on again. Sometimes that may help.
Second, install Wakelock Detector to see which process eats your battery.

I tried Turning my phone completely off and then turned it on....still the battery drain was same..
finally i had to factory reset the phone, installed a few daily usage apps...and observed the battery backup.
i am getting a 27 hours of on time with 100% battery and screen on time is 2-2.5 hours for this period. Is it ok??

What's the update on the battery issue? Which custom ROM are using on Note 3 now?
Hey guys. First proper charge from around 3% too 100% and I'm getting battery drain already, I thought this issue was resolved in lollipop? Not the mention the emense heat that comes off of this device
Check out the picture and get back to me. Thanks.
Jack
Same thing is happening to me... I don't find that the drain is really so bad, as I still get pretty great battery life, but does appear that this issue is still present in lollipop. Seems pretty wide spread among Android users.
I had an iphone for about 5 months. Went back to android and the problem still persists I got 3.5 hours of screen on time yesterday. Take a look at this
Also getting battery drain, the main offender seems to be the "mobile standby" which is always around 50-65% for me.

I think this was an error in reporting in the stock firmware, I haven't had a problem with the battery, in fact it's been really good. Since updating to B132 (GRA-L09) the battery usage seems to be reported correctly.
Interesting, I'm not sure what the normal drain should be then. My HTC One had a pretty good battery life, but it seems with this phone the battery drains quite fast when I'm using Chrome and WhatsApp etc. The power saver reports Chrome uses a max of around 10% but the rest use very little %, yet it seems I'm using around 30-40% of the battery in around half an hour.
Do you think using a custom rom (when they become available) would be any different?
Not sure if a custom rom would help. Are you rooted? If so you should have a look at betterbatterystats which should show you what's using up the battery.
When I'm mostly on wifi I can get 5 hours of screen time with 32+ hours running time.
i have the same problem with the "mobile standby" batery drain
i did a clear data/cache then factory reset, and now it's ok
androyd system still drain batery pretty much
sorry for my bad english

Was going to wait for a few roms to be released before rooting, but the battery life seems so poor I think I'll do it just to find out.
I've had the same Problem with the battery drain and analysed this with the Wakelock Detektor (needs root). Cause was the "NlpWakeLock" thats part of the Google Services. Then I disable the Google Location History everything went well. They are a lot of of useres, who have the same problem. The only real solution (If you want to use the Location history) is a Xposed module for that you need a working Xposed framework.
I have now disabled Google location history, hopefully this fixes the problem for me too.

Hey guys,
I've been having an S6 Edge+ for a couple of days already but there seems to be an issue with the ROM. I'm getting a lot of battery drain from the "Android OS" and I'm losing up to 5% - 7% per hour in standby.... I have even re-flashed the entire ROM and factory reset two times... still the same.
I've disabled Google's Location History and Google Now but this did not help...
My previous Galaxy S6 was also running the latest ROM but there were no such problems...
Has anybody else experienced such an issue and do you have any ideas?

Check if any sync is stuck in loop, sometimes this kills battery very easily. If all else fails check with some app like GSam.

Unfortunately GSam does not produce too detailed information without Root access and it only says Android System and lists all the services that are under it...
The interesting part is that after several re-flashes with the same firmware, the wakelock disappeared...
Now I get 76% to 80% deep sleep...
Go figure... Probably some stuck sync as you mentioned...

Android OS Wakelock killing the battery! ...... solved
OK, im not too savvy with settings and systems, just sharing what i have been through. I too had a major battery drain problem on my S6 Edge+ , giving me abt 8-10hrs of use after a full charge. Even during the nights with everything off and power saving enabled i would lose abt 50-60% battery over 8 hours. ..... caused by Android OS ....... it would keep the screen awake for hours even with the screen off .... ( dont know how that worked) ..... tried a factory reset but didnt help. Then rooted the phone and downloaded wakelock detector and installed it as a system app. Installed greenify and doze ..... last night lost 4% over 11hours with wifi and 4g off and power saving enabled which is a drastic improvement. Facing one little problem that images do not get downloaded (automatically or manually) in whatsapp with wifi in use. Will use the cell for a few days and post again abt how the battery is holding up and if there is any other performance issues.
If you want to save battery, try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
It show all RAM usage of each app, you can disable any app in Bloatware (samsung default app) list to save power
This app run WITHOUT ROOT
Hi guys, I have a little battery issue over night I'm loosing about 4-5% every night ..
I have a OnePlus 5 on open beta 4 everything stock.. and clean flashed when it was out (factory reset after updating with full zip)
When I look in gsam my phone is awake only 10 minutes over 8h of sleep.. so it's not a wakelock I think because the only wakelock I get is netmgr_wl which is a kernel wakelock
I only disable WiFi and Bluetooth and put my phone on DND when I go to sleep
Mobile data is on, NFC on, location on and that's all
I've read here like 2 weeks ago that putting the phone face down help with over night discharge .. but it didn't helped me !
How come that I lose this much compared to some here who are loosing only 1%
Do you know a fix or something that can help me ?

Maybe the others that loosing 1% don't sleep so long, disabled cellphone, used other apps, using no location services at all, disabled Nfc, don't use Google app. There's a lot you can do. But for detailed investigation please do record that behavior with better battery stats and provide a dump file.

Basically, you don't need to disable the cellphone (aka enabling Airplane mode) but if you disable Mobile Data it already helps a lot. If you disable Mobile Data and WiFi, you should get the same 1% battery drain others are reporting.
On a side note, I should add that I drifted away from trying to conserve battery drain because I became a fan of the Always On display app, which makes it convenient to see the time in the night or early morning without having to touch my phone.
