Hello
i'm new here, but not new in ways of flashing and rooting and stuff.
My main problem i'm stuck at for over 4 years
Galaxy S2 i9100
Galaxy S3 i9300
Galaxy Note 2
Galaxy S4 LTE i9505
Galaxy S4 LTE T-Mobile (Netherlands) GT-i9505
BATTERY DRAIN ON EVERY CUSTOM ROM\KERNEL EVER
Let's go:
Samsung Galaxy S4 T-Mobile GT-i9505 (NO NOT THE SGH-i337, I DONT LIVE IN AMERICA)
Whatever ROM \ Kernel i tried: DRAIN
Kernel : Any
Location off
bluetooth off
signal strengt: Lived almost under a cell tower, 100 percent signal
Airplane mode, wont make a difference
Sync off (ALL SYNC)
New battery : Not resolving anything
Wipe? I could wipe for billion times wont solve ****
Brightness low - (auto disabled)
Disabled automatic time
disabled google maps log report + Disabled the whole app
Disabled auto update play store
disabled virbration
disabled touch sounds
disabled automatic wifi scan
Removing SD Card : Nope not solving anything
Trying different roms? : I tried all possibilitys
Calibrated battery? Check no solve
"Settle the rom (bull**** but was worth trying) No solve
Replaced model??Check! No solve
Gsam Battery monitor? Check, Not a drastic drain...??
Undervolting, .. nope
underclocking,,, nope
powersave governe? nope
Using 2g as priimary network? you can already guess it
Average battery 100-0 5 - 6 hours. When using losing 2 percent in 3 minutes average, playing simple games (COC) 30 percent in 10 mins
The solution to get normal battery back?? TOUCHWIZ STOCK (EVEN CUSTOM BASED TWROMS DRAIN)
So my phone lasts longer, if it only has 500 mb ram left instead of 1.3 gb (wich was on custom)
Battery goes longer with bloatware from samsung + tmobile running in the background
Its like if you drive 200 kilometers per hour on max rpm using less gasoline then driving eco mode on low rpm.
IM SICK OF IT FOR OVER 4 BLOODY YEARS ALL THE SAME BULLS*T
ANY HELP IS MUUUUUUCH APPRECIATED
THANKS IN ADVANCE
YOU GUYS R AWESOME!!
PEACE!
Custom roms don't have the same battery life as stock roms, true.
But what you're describing is clearly not normal. Last time I charged my phone was 18 hours ago. I'm now at 75% percent. There was some moderate usage (mostly texting) but the phone was mostly idle.
Well the only constant factor is you. I think you just expect to much of a smartphone. A screen on time of 2-4 hours is normal. Also it's common to charge it every night.

Yes i don't have problems with charging it overnight
I have problems with charging it 2 times a day, it goes off the charger round 12 midday, and is already empty round 17.. with minimal usage, whatsapp, not even facebook or what so ever.. i play a game for like 10 mins, listen to music.. all by all i dont do too much on it. still it goes to fast to zero

Maybe it has something to do with root. Since it happens only on rooted roms.
I can't find any explanation why you have good battery life on stock but bad battery life on any custom rom.

Hm that could be, i really don't know..
Hey guys
I've had my Sony Xperia Z3 for just over a year now and im considering my next phone purchase. I really enticed by purchasing a S6 Edge+ HOWEVER battery life is the only thing stopping me.
The Z3 battery life easily lasts for two days without me ever worrying about the battery life. I know Lollipop has a mobile radio bug in it which would effect the edge plus but im wondering would two days use ever be possible on the Edge+? I normally get around 6 hours SOT over two days with my Z3 and don't want to be let down too much with my next phone.
I have the same situation... just came from a Z3. Got my edge+ a week ago and, tbh, batt life is way worse, but I am starting to think that I have a faulty cellphone. I am getting around 10h of batt, even after debloating it and using Pixel OFF.
otoh, there are lots of threads running right now, discussing batt life and most people say that it is pretty good.
It's been 5 nights and I complsin it drains 1% per hour.

That´s exactly what I am getting. Are you using Pixel OFF?
Edit: sorry, wrong math. I am getting 10% an hour. I am getting 10h of batt per day on avg 1% an hour would be wonderland for me.
Hold on, I am talking about overnight drain, when phone is idle for 6 hours, screen off, only side clock, 4g wifi location sync on

Hmm so you basically only get a day's use of the phone on average?
It depends how I use it...
Can't tell as my usage is not regular
For sure not 10% per hour with a normal use
But I'm 90% debloated
i find it good, im not yet rooted but after i am whenever i can manage to actually do it i estimate it will be even better, but in general it's all about your usage, you'll definitely get a day out of medium/heavy usage.
do yourself a favor and buy a Aukey plus, ultra fast charging.

Not good

I also had Z3 and lasting morning to evening looks pretty much the same, on both i was getting around 5-6h SOT. But considering 2 days Z3 will also give around 5h+ SOT, but Edge+ idk maybe around 3-4h because of how much standby drains the battery.

I think the biggest idle killer is the mobile radio bug in lollipop, as there is no KK for the S6 Edge plus, looks like im going to stick with the Z3 for now till Marshmellow comes out.
I have more than 5 hours sot and almost 2 days without charging and 19% left. I''m very satisfied. Stock and root is pretty the same.
WhatsApp, candy crush, Internet, YouTube and more of that stuff. Imo no need to worry about battery.
2 days for me too. Wifi on all the time, Screen contrast automatic, Bluetouth off all the time (I don't use it for the moment), Some settings here and there I found in various articles (like smart network off, I use the RAM tools to automatically shot-down most of the apps...)
One day
One day ( 16 hours , By night battery down to 10 %)with normal usage. SOT around 5 hours.
BT off all time. 4g around 7 hours , Rest on Wifi.

Wow really? im shocked i havent read that was possible in any reviews i've seen. Could you provide screenshots of your battery stats? If two days is realistic and easy to achieve then i may possible jump to the Edge plus boat.
Mine wont even last 6 hours without draining. Bluetooth on, 4G on, backlight on auto. What's the point in having a high tech phone if you stunt it's features? I just charge at least twice or thrice a day but admittedly, I do miss the battery life of my last phone (iphone 6 plus) coz it really could last a whole day with the same features on.

what is the difference between the Aukey charger and the original charger that came with phone? did you also use their car fast charger?

the original charger isnt anywhere near as fast as charging as the Aukey is, even thge usb cable that came with the Aukey is better than the one that came with the phone.
I dont think i will ever see 2 days. I use Bluetooth all day (synced to my Gear S), GPS is always on, autobrightness, etc. I can get through one day for sure, maybe half of the next day, but thats about it. Thats not using any kind of powersaving modes either. Its as good, or better than my note 4 with NONE of the damn problems (camera and HORRIBLE GPS), so i'll take it. Plus i have quick chargers everywhere...home, car, and an extra one.
I was very nervous switching to a sealed battery and no SD card support, but the 64gb is fine and the battery charges SUPER f'in quick
Discharging at -1200mA . Is this normal ?
Phone gets heated up pretty fast with a super quick drain. A Full-Charge gives me like 3 hours of continuous use on WIFI.
Battery is not Bloated , It's around 2 years old. I play around with a lot of ROMS. Been on 6.0.1. Currently on 5.1 CM12.1 , and getting somewhat better battery i believe.
Should I be Replacing the battery ?
Are you using a MicroSD? If so, does it also happen when you remove it?
Does your battery do any other funny stuff, like sudden charge drops/spikes? Is it completely flat or slightly curved?

Get a ZeroLemon 10,000 Nfc battery! Comes with an outter box_like .. Dust proof/shock proof kickstand case with separate screen protector included . Bought it about.. 2 weeks ago on a received Tuesday August 16...2016 !! On the 7th charge now .. Getting 15+hours screen on time ,.. Was trynna drain the battery for the 6 conditioning cycles.. That's the annoying part because it takes to long to drain would've taken way longer if I want purposely trynna drain it !! Usually last most people {2-5}+ days !! That's 12+ days for 6 full charge/discharge !! Also buy doing this you won't have to worry about buying a game OEM battery that may or may not be real,used &/or without NFC !! I bought it from Amazon Authorized Dealer Fenix ...

450mAh is normal discharging of note 3 so u have a drain battery app.
I'm very impressed with the screen on time so far on this phone! I am getting on average 7+ hours of SOT which is so much better than any Android phone I have ever used. Anyone else having great battery life on this phone?

I also got couple days ago almost same. It was 6hours and still 28% battery left. WiFi & BT off, GPS at battery saver mode. Power consumption mode was performance and using LTE/4G. Lot of better than example Huawei P9.

ATM You can calculate from that what it would be @0% Its insane... And only using 4G, no WiFi at all.. Signals are 2-3 bars so not evem best signals, lol. I though Samsung Galaxy S7 had great battery but this is insane. Im using Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Chrome etc. All are battery eaters and still... Thanks Huawei!

I dont know either. Im really suprised. Havent ever seen phone with 3000mah battery and this great battery life. Dont know how much better is Li-Po battery than Li-Ion. Manufacters started using Li-Po's on this year after Q1/2. Ofcourse i think that newer battery type (Li-Po) would be also better but questions is how much better it is on paper?

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.
Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.
I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome
how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

So far how do you think about the battery life on the phone is with heavy usage considering the fact that phone Comes with 5000mAh of battery?
As for me I think the phone can do better than what it's doing right now.

With light usage i get around 11 n half hours SOT.
With moderate usage it's around 10 to 11 hrs.
During extensive use i get from 8 to 10 hrs SOT
Pretty good. It will last throughout the day. No doubt.
On moderate or light use cases it will last more than that. You just have to charge on alternate days. Its the best thing i noticed about this phone, you don't have to carry a charger or search for a charger in the middle of a movie. :good:
With custom roms theoretically it should do better as we can opt out of all these google services constantly running in the background.

After new update, it's holding up well and good!

I had actually called Asus hotline and they asked me to 1.)Turnoff the Zenmotion in gestures.
2.) Use the phone in safe mode for 3-4 hrs
3.) And always charge the battery to 100% and drain it till 20-30% (or even less if possible) instead of charging intermittently.
Now I donno y they asked me to this...but im giving it a shot. Moreover I have also installed Greenify app as stated above & one point to be noted is that a lot of Youtube techies have mentioned that low network coverage in your area affects battery usage to almost 40-50%.
Now maybe that can be the reason too..but im not convinved for such low SOT coz people above who posted screen shots also show low network coverage.
LETS SEE! How it goes

Poor LTE network does drain the battery like anything. I get more battery drain at office because LTE network is poor. At home its good so battery drain is very less. What i do is switch to 3G instead of LTE. That helps a lot.
