[Q] Battery Drain - WHY DO I HAVE THE WORST OF IT - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I see people in the fourms of all these ROMs for the Galaxy S5 talking about battery stats like this:
"This rom is running great for me. Have not had one glitch. Battery life is outstanding now.
Have debloated it and am running Greenify, so that probably helps. Been running for about 12 hours now with close to 5 hours screen on time and some pretty heavy use. Down to 39% with predicted 8 hours left."
And my battery looks more like the attached photos.
Any ideas...?

Battery and Web Browser

Hi All,
I got my new galaxy note about a month.
im struggling on battery life.
I went through lots of search, how to optimise the battery life when using stock browser, couldn't find any information that is helpful at all.
i have done - reset to factory default, tried various task killer apps ( juice defence, advance task killer, 2x battery etc...)
i can't make it for 2days for normal use. the max i get is 1day and 5 hours.
on about 4 hours screen time. (my wifi always off when not in use, 5-10% brightness, 3G off only use gsm).
can any one also tell me why Gnote has 2500mah battery compare others, great on talk time and video play back, but when web browsing it only last about 3 hours ???
http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-battery-test-is-over-results-are-impressive/
by the way, i'm on stock rom 2.3.6
I think that is pretty good I'm on GB screen time 1h 1m and at 13 h 14 m and don't get to 2 days as I'm always checking twitter and Facebook and compared to my S2 I'm more than happy.
The phone is not supposed to sit there doing nothing and if you get more than day with several calls, web surfing etc all is good.
The web browser prob is not that we'll optimized and if it's loading lots of pics and flash it will chew battery life.
Get rid of things like juice defender they are battery hogs and ruin the note experience.
If you want battery life on GB see checkrom or other roms if you want the candy and less battery life look at ICS roms.
I'm in no hurry to go to ICS I went through that with the S2 if you want the look get Go Launcher.
its weird how you only last for 3 hours.. (hehe)
anyway, my battery lasted me for 6 hours before i flashed to custom roms. Maybe try a rom out there like stunner which is said to have good battery life

Horrible battery life on S3

Hello guys i have been facing absolutely horrible battery life on my s3 i9300 for the past 3 months or so....im currently running archidroid 2 which has absolutely amazing battery life as compared to the other roms that i have used and by that i mean almost all the popular roms that have been made for the s3 i9300 i have changed chargers....i just got a new battery about an hour ago and thats also not helping me at all i lose 2 percent in every 5 mins while doing light tasks like writing this thread and 2 percent in every 3 mins while playing games like clash of clans /fifa 14 ....one of my friends who has an s3 has abolutely amazing battery life he says he loses just 5 percent in one hour of fifa 14 i have disabled sync put my phone on 2g brightness on auto greenified almost all apps...pls help :'(
Yeah, those friends xD. On s3 you can play for about 3-4 hours depending on game. You must take care of screen on time. Look at it on yours friend phone Thats the real time of using your smartphone. Max screen on time that i had was about 5.5h but I was only reading a book. And the 3g browsing eats your battery like a boss I discharged my phone in 2h so thats normal.
Peace

Use BetterBatteryStats to have full control over it. Also, I don't know what apps you have running, but try to use Greenify.
You're running a custom rom, so the culprit can be the kernel too. Use an untouched stock kernel if you want or heavily tweak the custom one you're using.
We can't tell you more than this, because we don't know what you have installed, what you have running and how do you use it.
check out BetterBatteryStats, as already mentioned for the real battery killers.
put down the brightness to a low level
turn off your mobile internet in moments you dont really need it (i.e. during sports). just like you turn off wifi, when you leave your house
Is your phone 2 years old?
Buy a new battery.
try calibrate battery or boeffla kernel
Looks like your battery needs to be recalibrated.
Completely drained your battery & charge it for 8 hours without stopping during the night.
It happened to me too a few weeks ago when I bought a new battery.
Use BBS, greenify & tweaks your kernel settings will definitely help too.
Good luck
I still like the look of the S2
Replace your battery
Either get another Samsung battery - or go big and get ZeroLemon 7000mAh - worth every penny! and you get used to the size & weight pretty fast.

Poor batter life

I changed from Note 3 to s 6 edge plus recently
The battery drops 5% per hour overnight when not in use. If I go to bed with less than 40% battery at night I am sure to wake up with my phone switched off in the morning.
When in use with screen on, the battery drips one percent every two minutes. This is the worst battery life I have ever seen in a phone. I was a long loyal customer of samsung and this is my last samsung phone ever.
Extremely disappointed
Please post your battery stats ? so we can have a better understanding of your problem. I suggest you install 'Doze' which should stop unnecessary apps from connecting to the internet and causing your phone to awake from deep sleep.
Dear Akbar 11
Heres the battery stats....is it normal?
I had the same issue, and as far as I managed to find out, it is a bug in Samsung's kernel. Flashing Arter97 kernel solved the issue for, but do post battery stats from SmartManager. If it says 'Android' or 'Android OS', then you have the same problem many of us do.
I don't think it's a kernel problem. My android OS is very low 4%. Like zoolok said post your battery stats from settings, battery, battery usage
I have the same problem. Battery was great before I flash custom rom. After going back to stock I have big battery draining. I must stay on custom rom. With Audax rom and Skyhigh kernel i have great battery life.
You have either messed up something big or you have an app in the background that is eating up your battery like no tomorrow.
And the reason i say that is because i recently got this battery life on my Galaxy S6 edge+.
And this was taken 2 days ago.
Here i use the CRISSCROSS ROM, AudaxPro Kernel, Greeinify and Samsung's own 'Appoptimizing' feature (same as Doze in Android 6.0).
So my battery life is pretty awesome.
i have problem whit battery lose 25% when i sleep
This is a usual day with s6 edge plus
Any help?

i have this problem battery ... if u fixed it tell me how?
Well I was expecting Google Play Services to be eating your battery (which is quite common) but it looks like your Andriod OS is eating the most battery. I would uninstall Facebook and use the web version it always helps with the ram and battery furthermore, turn off location if you are not using it and check accounts which are being synced. These are the only tips I can give you as I have never seen Android OS drain so much battery.
Since a few days Google Play Store is eating up my battery: I go to sleep with 100% batt and wake up with 50%, if I check batt stats on top I have play store at 45%, with 5h active a d 2h of CPU.
Follows Android system at 5%.
Going crazy why...

You've charged your phone 4 times during that day. I can't see what's the interesting part here.

What's up with the battery on ports vs stock?

I thought my battery was doomed.. Until I tried a Note 7 Port. For some reason I get MUCH better battery life on the ports than "stock" custom roms.
On ports I get almost zero drain and 1-1.30 hours per 10% and that is while my phone is even in the pocket most of the day (low standby drain). On the other hand on every stock rom, after the same day, same usage and same apps I have around 45min SOT and down to 70%.
I think Android System is the culprit, but there are still people having amazing battery life on "stock" roms. So how do you stop this Android System drain? It's clearly fixed on the Note 7 and there might be months before we get the updates where the note are now.. But I like stability by far, so would like to go back to stock, if I could stop the drain.
Thanks in advance

Galaxy S8 Battery Life!

Hello.
So i have had this issue for that past 6 months or so.
I bought my galaxy s8 upon release and the battery was great at the time. After some time of course i can expect the life to degrade. But it is horrible now.
I experimented with custom roms and stuff and it just got worse and worse and i tried a lot of different roms. My expected screen on time was 5 hours which is pretty normal.
After some time i only get like 3 hours a day and the standby drain was awful. Once a time i tried to go with stock rom and i got like 2 hours sot and a standby drain that was crazy. I use greenify to close apps in background.
My usage is normally messenger, facebook some times. Its mostly closed by greenify. I watch youtube browse the web and play simple games that doesnt need a lot of processing power to run.
Is it my battery thats very bad? I also experienced in the cold like 0 degrees celcious that my phone just died when it had like 25 percent.
Should i get battery replacement or whats the best option here? Currently running teamexykings lightrom for my galaxy s8 exynos
Same issue, I replaced the battery when fixing the cracked screen, didnt see any improvement even with the new battery
You can try if you want replacing the battery, but I believe its the software issue.
