Remenber, after flashing, reboot and in recovery, wipe battery stats.
I did a search and looked through the threads, some were similar but none were exactly like mine... which has me worried. also google didn't help... which has me worried
My battery charges, and discharges ( i think) normally. I don't see any problem with the actual usage. But, the battery indicator only updates when it is plugged in or unplugged, or i restart it. while it's running it doesn't update, so i have to guess at the level of battery.
I just bought a "re-certified" one from newegg. it did the latest ICS OTA update immediately after turning it on. It had this problem on stock OTA, but i have since rooted it with ViperMOD (still stock ROM), and the issue is still there.
I have read about battery calibration, deleting battery stats, etc - would these be applicable? how do I actually go about doing it?
Thanks for any info!
I would backup all my data (Using Titanium Backup), backup your ROM then either flash to something new or delete all your data. Obviously you can restore everything once your done but just to see if this is a software or hardware issue.
Have you tried any other battery widget? Does it update in settings -> about tablet -> status and/or settings -> battery?
If not, you should try reflashing like mike suggested.
I have tried "Beautiful Widgets" battery widget, as well as stats - and they all show the same level.
ty, will do. do you have a recommendation for rom? stock like with stability and battery life? no dock...
Android Revolution HD look ok?
thanks again
yeah didn't help. i did a wipe from within CWM, and installed Android Revolution.
Is there anything i can do to wipe to wipe it further, safely? before i go through the process of trying to RMA it.
I am fully charging it and then will reset the battery stats and discharge it, as that's said to be good anyway once in awhile and i don't have anything better to do...
if it comes down to it, how might i unroot before sending this back? i have the image from before flashing, but that was after rooting and installing CWM.
Deleting battery stats won't improve your battery life. It's a MYTH.

The correct way to calibrate your battery is to discharge it 2-3 times after flashing a new rom/kernel.
I just got my G2 and decided to root it then flash the cloudy g3 1.2 ROM which went fine. Following that, I installed the Xdabbeb camera mod which caused the phone to enter a bootloop. Because of that, I wiped the system, data, and cache, then reflashed the G3 ROM (with the kitkat baseband).
When I was on TWRP though, it said the battery was on 100% when it was actually on about 60%. So after flashing the ROM and booting it up, the battery percentage showed 100% then started dropping very quickly. I lost 20 percent in half an hour of use.
To do a battery calibration, you must charge the device to 100% and if I do this, it shows the charge at 100% but in reality it isn't. How am I meant to reset the battery stats completely? I don't mind resetting things as I've only just got the phone.
Also would someone mind downloading a battery calibration app and charging the phone to 100% then telling me what the voltage is at 100%?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Im wondering why android system is on top or most of the time in par with screen statistics on battery stats. Previously it would settle down at 11% or less but now its up or more than 20%. Wondering what causes this behavior . Even after a fresh format and few minutes of usage Currently running stock 4.4.2 KitKat not rooted. I noticed that this happend after i tried to root my device. Not sure if its a coincidence. Anyone got same issue? its just my battery isnt as good as before

Did you try to reboot the device? Sometime this simple trick may help.
Or you may need to update the firmware.
What is your firmware version? Is it the latest one? Check for the latest firmware for your device in Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
It's bugged.
It'll list Android System as highest usage even after 4 hours of heavy gaming, with the game at 3-8%. In every battery monitor.
Ya e reboot might have fixed it for awhile and wiping cache.
Hi all,
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp on my G5 plus. Before I unlocked my bootloader I had amazing battery life. 8 hours and 15 minutes of sot at the most. Now I'm getting terrible battery life. I can't even last half a day. Does the phone understand how you use it and optimize the Snapdragon 625 or is it something else.
Edit: It also drains battery on standby
You have an app that is not allowing the phone to sleep... Install GSAM or other similar battery usage monitoring app and see what the offender is.
What about the general battery drain. Before I flashed twrp and unlocked my bootloader I used to be able to make it from 6 a.m to 8 p.m. Today is my first day using my phone after unlocking my bootloader and flashing TWRP. After I set up my phone again (the bootloader erased all my data) I set up my phone and charged it over night. By this time of the day I should be at around 70% but I am at 49%. How do I fix this battery drain issue.
It drains 1% every minute to minute and a half.
I'm planning to revert back to stock. How do I relock my bootloader and remove twrp. Can someone please provide instructions and the links for the files to be download
Unlocking, installing TWRP, and rooting are NOT the cause of your battery drain... you should determine that first.
"Relocking" and returning to pure stock can be easy, or difficult, depending on your software version. If you were on the latest stock version then you will have to wait, because to relock the bootloader you must have a complete, digitally signed, factory firmware image that is flashed via fastboot... the process is well documented, but you cannot downgrade to do it, you must flash the same or a newer version than what is installed in your device currently.
See the problem yet? Yup, exactly... we don't have a full factory image of the latest version. We might get one tomorrow, might get one in 3 months, a year, or never, we don't know as all of them are leaks because Moto does not officially support that level of user self-repair on non-developer models.
So we go back to what I said at the beginning... Unlocking, installing TWRP, and rooting are NOT the cause of your battery drain... Work on that first, what have you tried?
Have you installed GSAM and looked at the monitors to see exactly WHAT is draining battery? Have you wiped the cache partition(s) in TWRP? Have you done a full factory reset?
You have decided to root... unfortunately this is not a Nexus device, you can't just stick your toe in and if the water is too cold you have can pull it out and forget going in the pool, for better or worse, now you have to jump in and just get used to it.
I got gsam and I fully recharged my battery with the included wall adapter. I'm getting slightly better battery life but I'll see what app is the culprit after a full days use tommorow
I was at 92% and now I'm suddenly at 89%. Did it really drain 3% or is my battery not calibrated

Let it go to at least 70% or lower, then post a screenshot of GSAM
Did you do the cache wipes?
And "battery calibration" isn't a thing anymore, it's automatic every charge cycle.
I'm not rooted so I have to enable the extra stats thing through adb when I get home. Is it clearing the cache?
Sorry I'm kind to new to this but what are cache wipes

Wait... You are not rooted, all you did was unlock and flash TWRP and nothing else?
Ok, power off and start TWRP, go to Wipes and Advanced, tick Cache and Dalvik Cache (verify nothing else is selected), and swipe to confirm and perform the action. Press Home - Reboot - System and let it reboot, if prompted about no SuperSU or Root, DON'T DO IT! Skip, ignore, not now, or whatever so it doesn't do anything but reboot. It will take more time than a normal reboot, so he patient. This does not harm your data or files in any way.
Ok I tried it. It surprisingly took under a minute.
I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks
I tried to root but it didn't work. I first tried super su. I flashed it by twrp and it was successful. But when I went to twrp and I opened super su I could see the root check app in the background but super su kept on telling me that the super su binary wasn't installed. So I had root access but I had no control over it. Even cpu z told me that I was rooted. So I decided to uninstall super su and I re flashed it but the same thing happened again. One of my friends the told me to try out Magisk(apparently you could hide you have root access from apps). I tried to flash Magisk for the first time but it give me two errors while flashing it. When I opened the app it asked me to get the Magisk manager but for some reason they removed the Magisk manager from the play store. I did the same thing again but this time I got the apk for Magisk Manager 14.0 from apk mirror and it didn't work for me. So I uninstalled Magisk. So then I went to Snapchat and it didn't let me login because apparently Snapchat doesn't let rooted users use it. So then I decided to do a factory reset yesterday. (Before all this my battery life was normal about my usual 7 hours of sot). Then yesterday evening I noticed that it was draining a lot of battery. So someone said there was a fix only for the standby mode using minimal adb which basically forces the device to doze. So I have force dozed enabled and my standby battery life is really good. I slept with 62% and I woke up this morning with 62%(so that made a huge difference). I just cleared the dalvik cache and normal cache towards twrp and it seems like it's really helping. I'll change it fully again and hopefully things get better.
Clearing the cache and dalvik cache didn't help me
Did you try just installing the SuperSU app from the Play Store?
Is this really real?

What are you asking about?
Yes it is. I'm giving an overview of what I did in case if I did something wrong while flashing super su. I found what's draining the battery. It's the cell standby
