I updated my Note 4 to lollipop yesterdat and i notice huge amount of battery drain by the music app itself. It uses around 15-20% of the CPU and my phone heats up.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks for the help!

Hello guys,
after updating my N7 (32gb WiFi) to Android 4.2.2, the battery life has drasticly decreased.
After 2 hours of display on time, only 66% left. WiFi was always on, I browsed the internet and watched a few videos with Youtube.
The strange part is, that 75% of the battery usage is because of Android-System.
Any solutions for this?
Thanks

i guess flashing a custom kernel will help. Right now I'm also running the latest update and it's been 35 mins of screen time at 90% battery level. When I was in 4.2.1, the battery life was much better and it didnt drain as much. I always liked stock because it gave me a much better battery life than custom kernels. I guess I'm going back if this continues.
My GT-I9505 has always had a very poor battery life. However, thanks to Greenify and Amplify I managed to reduce the battery drain during deep sleep almost entirely. However, I noticed huge battery drain when the screen is on, it takes half of the battery and just for less than 2 hours of screen on! The brightness is set to minimum, I use Slimkat's Dark UI which it should help the AMOLED screen, but these battery drops keeps staying (even with other ROMs i have the same battery drain)... A friend of mine has got a Galaxy S5 and its battery is absolutely brilliant, screen takes only 20% in the battery stats and he uses it far more than me... Is this a normal attitude on the S4?

The S5 does have a bigger battery (bigger in terms of mAh). It also depends on the age of the battery. If the phone is new (therefor has a new battery) it obviously lasts longer. It also depends on what you are doing when the screen is on. Do you play games or what?
I usually read on my S4 and it does not drain so much as to go from 100% to 50% in 2 hours. But I'm running lollipop. I've never had any other rom beside original firmware and lollipop gpe.
Check your settings and governor.

Hi mate
Use an app like BBS let it run when the screen is on to really see what is keeping the phone awake

Hello all,
I've had my 6P since launch, and I've tried everything lately but my SOT has been poor (1h-1h30).
I've tried MM unrooted, Nougat unrooted, MM with Greenify, MM with Greenify and Amplify.
Basically the phone is rarely awake with screen off, but when the screen is on the battery just drains very quickly. I'm sure there's nothing keeping it awake, it just seems that the battery is "wasted" when I'm using it.
I installed ElementalX kernel to test, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot!

That is really low for sure. Is your screen brightness cranked up? Playing a lot of games or cpu intensive apps?
Install betterbatterystats or gsam battery monitor to see what is draining the battery. If using gsam, ignore high usage of mediaserver unless it also shows high usage in your stock battery stats as well.
I believe ElementalX kernel is basically the stock kernel, but allows you to make more changes than stock with it's companion app, Ex Kernel Manager. I'd try Ninja kernel or Franco kernel instead.
If no apps show abnormally high usage with battery monitors it could be time for a battery replacement. They are only about $25 if you're comfortable opening it up.
That's odd I had same issue my thoughts are possible virus something that would turn off encryption.
Everytime I turned off my phone when it powered on it wouldn't ask for password after clean install it would for a few days but now with naugut and on a new wifi that haven't seen me before was able to get factory reset and be fine and my battery has gone from lasting barley 12 hrs with screen mostly off to having around 55 left at 10 hrs
right now I'm at 69% for 9 hrs have 22 hrs left.
Also check your top apps for use Microsoft office for Android was really killing my battery also.

Hi all
currently still using lollipop and wondering if its worth instally marshmallow. is the battery life better and have less battery drain then on lollipop?
Thanks
DOSE does help to extend the battery life of the Note 4, when it's not being used and is still powered on.
Forgjve me for asking but are you joking or do you mean that the cell standby usage drops with marshmallow compared to lollipop? Im looking for any possible ways to get thjs reduced. My cell standby percentage is almost 30 and 40%
Hello: In my particular case, before in 5.1 i have 1% per hour of battery drain, now with Marshmallow i have 3 % EVEN with Doze per hour, so in my case make worse my cell phone and with more lag.
So in my case again. I don't recommend you upgrade your phone.
But Cell Standby with Lollipop is terrible....its using so much battery!
Does marshmallow help to get rid of cell standby?
Anyone?
after last update i have heavy cell standy usage. I want to sell my note 4 and go for s7 edge
I own a h990n since December and notice since a couple of days that the phone is runing warmer and draining more battery than usual. I never seen such high system battery drain before. Does anyone has a explanation. The phone is stock and unrooted.
