battery went down - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys
refer attached screenshot. i had 55% battery last night. when i woke up after 6 hrs, my phone was totally flat.
anyone can guide me on how to monitor this or troubleshoot this? its not like this always. this is once or twice only within a 6 month period
im using s5 with POK1 alexndr rom
thanks

Yea, have a look on the screen before that one, that lists the different apps that are using the most battery

It's nothing there bellow this list.. that's why I'm bit confused. Do you know any apps which can monitor these kind of issues?

First thing is your signal , you have bad reception which drains the battery quickly. Next , you can see in the screenshot that your phone is awake even if the screen was off , which mean you have an app draining your battery in background. I can see that you have a modded status bar which mean you are rooted , just install wakelock detector from the play store and it will show you all your wakelocks and alarms.

It turns on at 6:00 in the morning. I have accuweather widget and one IMAP email account (using IMAP PUSH) syncing.
Is it normal that having Wifi turned on consumes so much more battery? It is visible very good in the screenshot and it is the same effect every day. Screen time on the screenshot was only 1h20m. I have brightness set to Auto -3.

simply question have you restarted the device? because android os seems to consumes a lot of power. You also should install wakelock detector from playstore and look what app consumes so much power

Note 3 N9005 Battery

Hi there guys!
I just bought an used Note 3 N9005, from Orange, running Lollipop LRX21.
The thing is that.. the battery runs way toooo fast! Last night, around 1 AM, I went to bed.. the phone had 100% battery, and when I woke up, around 9 AM.. the battery was already at 92%
The phone had the wifi on... and that's all..
What should I do ? My last phone was an LG G2... and by the night.. from 100% it went no more than 1% until the morning.
LOL! 1% per hour is nothing at all to worry about mate. Maybe some task/ process is going on background or something, install Better Battery Stats and monitor. You can barely control Android, any background might run at any time, you normally can't control that. Or you can use Xposed and then install Power Nap and Amplify to lower the number of those background processes, but how Xposed is on 5.0 TouchWiz ROMs, well I won't recommend that.

Thank you! I Will install that app. But I find it weird.. to "eat" 1% per hour.. because on my old Nexus 5, and LG G2, both with Lollipop.. it was no more than 1% or 2% per night.. And thinking that the Note 3 has a huge 3200mah battery... that drives me crazy!

Battery drain problems with my Verizon galaxy s7 edge

So I recently bought an s7 edge from Verizon and it has horrible battery life compared to other people with the same phone. I went to Verizon with this issue and all they did was give me another phone in exchange for the previous one but that did not help. Sometimes the battery drops 12 percent on standby overnight. I have found a few apps which have been draining my battery but I unfortunately cannot disable them: gear vr service, help, and knox use over 12 percent of battery each. I wish I could root the phone but no roots are out for the snapdragon version. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Can't you just use disabler pro to disable those apps
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Im really amazed how people just go to lets say phone provider and say that they dont like the phone and they get a new one . In Poland I think this kind of thing just wouldnt work. Especially that at the moment this phone is sold out and i was luck to get mine so fast.

I don't think using location is what is causing my battery drain because like I stated before my friend also has the same phone but on a different carrier and even with heavy usage his phone battery life is amazing. But I will see which apps do use location a lot.

Yah I saw it before
Do you have AOD on at night? That will burn through some battery.
Those three apps are interesting. How did you determine they're using a lot of battery?
When I look at them in the application manager each one says it's used 17% of battery since the phone was fully charged (24 hours ago). But that can't be accurate. Added together, they'd use more than 50% of my battery capacity, but they don't show up as individual apps in my battery stats, and the largest user (Android System) only used 30%.
Can you post some screen captures of the battery usage screen showing the apps using data? You might also try force charging to 100%, then force closing those apps, and see if there's any impact on battery life. If not, then it might be worth trying Package Disabler Pro. But most Edge owners seem to be getting good battery life, so I don't think that should be necessary.
I am getting the same drain (S7 edge verizon). It only drains my battery at my dorm wifi and when I go home it's fine. I don't think it's a Samsung issue since my LG G3 with a 6500mah battery can't even last two days on standby.

Galaxy Note 3 battery suddenly started to drain fastly

Hello everyone. I'm using CyanogenMod 12.1 on a Galaxy Note 3 (N900). My battery life was pretty good until this last week. Suddenly my battery started to drain so fast, I charge it to %100 and leave it at night on flight mode, it is %60 in the morning. It can't even make a day without charging now. And this difference occured so fast that I'm sure it's not about my battery getting old. I never leave apps working on the background, I also use Greenify (it stops apps completely so they can't run in the background even if you close them) and I make Greenify stop almost every app that eats ram in nights.
I also checked out my battery section to see which application is draining, here's the strange thing: for example I have %10 charge left, and below it shows which application used how much of the battery since it is %100, and when summed up they all equal something like %50... So something is draining %40 of my battery, and it even leaves a gap in the battery section. It's invisible. This is the first time I see something like this. Uh and also, I pick up my phone in the morning, and it's quite hot. Almost every app is asleep and it's on flight mode... This got me quite worried. Could it be a virus or something? How can I solve this? Sorry for language mistakes and thank you in advance.

Use "Wakelock Detector [root]" from playstore to find what draining your battery.
If it's hot in the morning, so something is keeping your device awake.

Very poor battery regardless of configuration

Hello. I have had a OP5 for the past year, having bought it a few weeks after it launched. However I have never gotten "good" battery performance. I just saw the thread where people posted their SOT, 8, 9 hours...? I can barely get 4, and that's if I'm on WiFi... The phone for me barely lasts a day? With far from heavy usage. I have tried various ROM/Kernel configurations but nothing helps. Currently I am using AEX and that's what I got yesterday (see attachment). Stock OOS is similar if not worse... I am soo frustrated about this issue. Could anyone point me towards what I am doing wrong? Battery stats don't show me anything wrong, I use normal apps like Facebook, Snapchat etc and they don't drain that much battery according to the stats. What could it possibly be?
Thank you

Excellent idle drain of 0.5%/h, nothing to complain about. It's like mine. There's nothing to investigate imo.
Poor idle drain starts at 1%/h or above

I've just gone back to a much more routine lifestyle (summer is over) and so my phone followed suite, I don't use it so much during the day and the average drain of a whole day of small usage is 3-4% an hour which is great for me! However, whenever I start using is when things get out of hand, the usage shoots up to 20+% an hour. Very strange as it is obviously not a wakelock problem but a screen problem? Okay I don't have a 100% black substratum theme but I mean. The phone is designed to handle colours haha

Usage drain is nearly impossible to compare or analyze. But 20%/h is too much for op5 imp. Even with gaming.

Wakelocks are not dangerous in general. And Google play services are essential for majority of your communication.
Without a dump file like before its not possible to track down any issues to Google play services. And if you don't have a higher drain, it's just the observation of the wakelock.
