ive been looking all around, with no solution so far, but the issue im having is that the battery stats show my phones having android system at 35% most of the time and android OS following it around 15-20%
is this an issue with marshmallow or samsung? I havent even rooted the phone, its simple the way it was since first turning it on.
I installed package disabler and took out knox and other things, but still no change...so im a bit lost

I initially had this issue as well. I got it down to under 20% by doing the following:
1. No diagnostic reporting to Samsung
2. No feedback/reporting to Google
3. Turn off sync & turn it on manually only when needed (I use a macro app to automate this, called MacroDroid)

Mine is doing the same thing. Was pretty pumped about the big battery but with that drain it's not any better than any other battery. Sometimes doesn't even last thw whole day. I'm not a heavy user either.

Where can I find setting 1 and 2?
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
Remember that all the battery usage percentages MUST add up to 100%. The less other apps and processes are using battery, the higher the percentage used by Android system and the OS is going to be. If you let your phone sit unused for 3 or 4 days, those two things would probably total 70 or 80%, just because nothing else is using battery.
Don't worry about the percentage system is using. Look at your overall battery life. If that's good, then don't sweat the small stuff.

For # 2, Settings / Applications. Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap Google. Then 3 dot menu / Usage and diagnostics. Make sure it's off.
Not sure about # 1
Also having the same issues here. Experienced Android user, disabled quite a few apps, non rooted. Let's figure this out guys!

It's not mentioned explicitly in the changelog. But AT&T GS7E users have reported battery life improvements, just like the T-Mobile guys.
My GS6E received the April update yesterday & Android System doesn't even show up anymore in battery stats. Battery life improved.

Are you guys having Android System battery issues still?
To pinpoint which service within Android System is causing the most wakelocks without Root, you can use this app (Wakelock Detector Lite) & adb to view the stats.
Here's the link to the Play Store app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector.noroot
After you install the app, go into Settings > Developer options & turn on USB Debugging.
Then connect your phone to your PC, open adb, and type:
adb devices
Then
adb tcpip 5555
Now you can view your wakelock stats without root!
My number one wakelock within Android System is GpsLocationProvider_ex. It prevents my phone from deep sleep & Doze.
The only workaround is to turn off GPS until needed.
Please share your findings.

I got much better results yesterday.
17 hrs off the charger & SOT of 4 hrs & 42 mins.
GpsLocationProvider_ex wakelock of only 3 mins & 51 seconds using the GPS+WiFi+Mobile location setting.
My settings:
-Firmware version PD3 (Sprint GS7E)
-auto brightness
-sync off
-Location = GPS+WiFi+Mobile
-WiFi & Mobile data always toggled on
-Bluetooth always on & connected to Gear S2 3G
-No power-saving mode
-Google Now & Now on Tap on
-Push apps running: Kakaotalk, Slice, Pushbullet
-140 apps installed
Before the refresh, this was the kind of crazy GPS wakelocks I was getting:
Finished yesterday with over 6 hrs of SOT.

Yes, those apps only refresh automatically when I open them which is how I like it. I don't like getting pestered with constant notifications. And I don't use Facebook.
I use macro apps to automatically turn on Sync when it's on the charger & shut off when taken off the charger.

Hello everybody I just got my Note 3 N9000Q this Sunday. I loved the phone except few things.
Firstly, i unlock my phone via pattern however, it sometimes does not recognize the pattern (it does not even show that red thing meaning i did wrong). Few times it even did turn its screen off while i was trying to unlock my phone (which neans it does not feel i am touching). Other than latter no issues with touch screen. Did anybody came across the same problem?
Secondly, my battery dies rather too quick. For example, 2 hours 27 minutes 10 secs and down to 86% battery (even dropped 1%when the screen was off in around 10 minutes). Backlight (brightness) is at -5 and screen is on for only 48 minutes. Anybody has any idea?
Thank you in advance.

My Note 3 model is N9005. having some battery drain too.. culprit seems to be Google Services on battery usage list
I noticed the battery drain yesterday aswell, google services seem to draw more power than it should.
I read some old threads about the issue (general on android, not on this specific phone) and they recommended turning off location services alltogether in the settings.
I did that last night and so far it has only drained 6% in 4h15m
Amazing battery life out of my note 3 I love it

Disable backup to Google in Backup and Reset solved my huge battery drain. BBS showed that it was continuously keeping the phone awake and disabling resolved the drain.
I have just disabled smart stay and my battery lasted more than 1 day from 75%. Tho after turning quick glance on it started to drain a bit faster (atill better than before).
The pattern thing annoys me tho. I suspect it is something about software. Also noticed a metallic sound on phone calls (time to time) like a metal cable got loose and hitting the ear piece. I will give my phone to service next week i guess and ask for a change.

Can you give more information on how you are achieving this ? It looks like you have smart rotation on too - I got 14 hours yesterday with 3 hours of screen time, but its not enough to last me a whole day. I turned it off today to see how it will do, but as I just posted in another thread, i had a huge problem with the battery jumping percentage today (39% to 1% then to 20% after I took it out)
Do you have auto backup turned off as some of the other people have suggested?

There's something wrong with the camera on these phones. After I open up the camera or snapchat, my battery drains fast. The phone doesn't go into deep sleep after closing camera apps.

Last 100-8% took 40 hours with almost 5 hours screen time. Neither power save modes were on. I had WiFi 70% of the time, with a decent 4G signal otherwise. This is 2-3 times what I get if I use my camera without restarting my phone.

I have a similar set up as you. I keep BT always on and GPS always on w/ high accuracy, turning BT off doesn't do much to the battery life imo.
The absolutely biggest difference for me was to go into location settings and hit Google Location Reporting and turn off location reporting and history. Also turn off geo-tag for the camera, and locations setting on FB.

It shouldn't matter. For what its worth, I'm not seeing anywhere close to what others have posted in terms of battery longevity. I use bluetooth for everything. Car stereo, bathroom speaker, gym headphones, etc. Wifi is always on, but connected 80% of the time. GPS rarely on. Screen time doesn't push past 2 hours and I can BARELY get about 1 day of battery life. I do use the stock charging cable, but I use others as well.
It seems like a big variance, even with drastic use differences.

Battery life is ok for me I guess. It gets me through a day. I am not impressed by the battery life at all, probably because I was spoiled with my old MAXX. I still expected at least a few more hours but something in the background sucks battery. When root comes, I'm sure battery life will improve a bunch. Its also not that big of a deal because the back is removable. What stinks is this is my battery life with power saving enabled for over 1/2 of the day. I really do not understand how people were getting over 10 hours of screen time and this day and a half battery life. The only way I get that is if I charge it before bed and count those 12 hours towards my battery life and I still wouldn't break 24 hours.
Maybe I'm missing something?
GPS is battery saving, print services are disabled, screen timeout at 15 seconds, screen is at auto brightness with adapt display, power saving enabled most of the time, wifi and 4g bounce between whichever is better, network mode is LTE/CDMA and I have disabled a ton of bloat. Maybe its because I have ART enabled.
Definitely not impressed by battery life but I am a heavy user and I love that you can swap batteries.
What does 'power saving mode' do? I can clearly see what 'ultra power saving mode does', but I was wondering if anyone knew what regular power saving mode does? I tried searching the Q&A forum but didn't find much and Googling it just led me to a bunch of pages touting the ultra power saving mode. Thanks in advance!
Who is having issues with battery here? Android OS is killing my juice! I have gotten fed up and rooted my sheild and frozen most everything possible to try and get the OS down. I will lose like 30-40% overnight. I was thinking it was the shield or nvidia services tied into the android OS but that doesn't seem to be it. Blake_wavelock seems to have a lot of the activity and deep sleep isn't Happing as it should. I haven't tried WiFi off when screen is off and I'm going to use that tonight. I have all the location setting and Google setting inactive. I'm using optimized for battery.
Let me know what you think. I come from a posse of Samsung devices and get great battery life on them.(of course they are all rooted and ROM)

Have you checked under WiFi advanced settings for keeping WiFi off while screen off and WiFi optimization? (Sorry if these settings aren't there, looking at settings on my phone, as I don't have this tablet, but I am considering purchasing one).
Also, is your WiFi signal poor or strong? Because that plays a big role.
I have this happening with airplane mode on. Only seems to happen when I'm home though.

Those with bad battery life should check what apps they have installed and use wakelock to find out what's keeping your tab awake over night. I have had many android devices and unusual battery life like many of you report is virtually always due to a user installed app or combo of apps. I get 3 days use on one charge MINIMUM. This is with WiFi on 24/7, and I use it for homework for several hours a day and some light gaming thru console mode (maybe an hour a day). I use a custom power mode with 50% cpu clock, 2 cores and 30 fps. I never take it off this power mode cuz I never see any difference in performance. Il post pics from next cycle.
Yea I'm not seeing bad standby either, battery overall isn't great but OK. I get about 5 hours screen on but most of my usage is android games.

I guess all the hard work of freezing off apps has paid off. This is the type of sleep I'm use to!

75% left with only 10m screen on? That's not good...

That's more like it, still not what I call good but for something that offers everything I guess it's OK. Still wish I had a way of reaching 10 h screen on.

Twice now, I have gone from 70-80% to dead in just a few hours with the screen off. I have a few background apps with push notification (facebook, appy geek, mighty text) but they are all the same apps as on my oneplus one, and it only drains 1-2% per hour. Same with my Xperia Z Ultra (which I had set up as a tablet, no sim installed)

Go very dim and freeze everything and im sure you could get close! I do use greenify. I like app opps but to lazy to set it up.

I have the tegra note 7 and this shield. I pretty much just got both about a month ago. I have figured out that the WiFi hardware is not as good as most phones. So it will cause a wavelock and drain the device (which is labeled under android OS). So make sure under settings<wifi<advanced you choose WiFi off when screen is off or only when plugged and not to search for WiFi networks if you don't need. I have also seen that if you root then you can use titanium backup or whatever you like to freeze all the apps that cause harm or excessive battery drain. Also, with root you can use app called wavelock detector to figure out what app is draining you down. I have just about everything frozen except for updates and a couple other services. Good luck report back on what's causing it if you can. Blakewavelock got me, lol.
Here is this cycle from yesterday (still going) What wavelock detector looks like
More of this cycle

Many people on various phones had this problem I am not sure how to avoid this, its not happening on every phone for sure.

Check your battery stats, that could easily be that you were in an area with low signal, which causes the phone to struggle to find service; thus wasting battery
I only know a temporary fix which is to turn on airplane mode then you can turn on wifi at the same time just thought it may help you figure out a more longterm solution.

It's a known bug with lollipop. It apparently has been fixed in Marshmallow. Wait for the update. There's not much you can do til then except stay on WiFi.

Thanks did and we will see when it gets charged to 100% its weird I think this also happens on WiFi but I can't tell for sure..

My phone does the same thing but when I go to battery stats and check it my cell signal bar isn't green at all. Orange and yellow is all I get because I get weak signal in my house. I never get time without signal in my battery stats tho.
I had a nexus 6 before this phone and it was the same thing except I would get 12-20% time without signal and it really killed my battery.
I haven't had a single day with this phone where I didn't get at least 4 hours of screen on time. The best I have gotten was 6 hours on wifi
The thing that works best for me is when I have WiFi on, I turn mobile data off. That works wonders and elongating my battery life at home. When custom ROMs begin to pop up, I believe CM patched the issue but we will see. But when you're home on WiFi, turn data off unless you need it and see how that works

MobileActiveRadioFix module in Xposed Framework is supposed to fix it (although I just deactivated it because it seemed to have made it worse for me).
I played around in my network settings this morning, searched for networks, and selected Verizon (previously I just let it activate on its own) and that seems to have helped my battery so far.

So far I'm at 55% with 1 hour 45 mins SOT. Yesterday I had to charge my phone twice. I was getting less than 2 hours SOT on a full battery.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
So far today, with just WiFi on and keeping data off, I'm at 54% with just over 2.5 hours screen on. Cell standby is at 7% but my time without a signal is 1%. And may I ask what you did to select a certain network, @joshw0000?

Which network you on ? just put it in global mode and search for networks and select your carrier/unless you have domestic roaming then you can select other carrier to roam on. When I was in Europe and my prepaid carrier had roaming on all carriers that is how I would switch manually between carriers.

Something ain't right if your getting that low of screen on time. I just charged my phone today was off the charger for 24 hours and I had 5.5 hours of screen on time on WiFi and I don't ever have green in my signal stats its always orange and yellow.
I always keep my data, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, moto display tweaks off at home and in getting great battery life. I've only charged this phone 6 times in 8 days because I wait til it's really low to charge and the quick charger has it full within a hour anyways

I just wanted to put this out there. I have O beta installed with latest update, no root, bootloader locked, DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn, greenify (whatever it can do without root and jumping through adb hoops), stock launcher and I have never ever ever had such a great standby battery life. In EX kernel managers battery monitor, I see < 1 % per hour screen off battery drain consistently where I have not been able to go below 2.2% with any, (I say any and I have tried all) rom+kernel combination on 7.1.x.
This is GREAT!! I have never been happier with any stock rom ever.
EDIT: I would like to add that I have LG Urbane watch connected with phone all the time so bluetooth is on all the time but I bluetooth scanning is disabled (in location improvement, wifi scanning is still on). Battery optimizations for android wear is disabled.

Is it possible you can take a screenshot of your battery stats from settings so some of us that like visuals can see? What is your screen on time like?
That's interesting, cause my battery life and performance have both dropped significantly for me on O compared to Nougat
It's worse on O, though pretty great for beta. I've got up to 5h of SOT.

Best ever is 7h on PN and Frank kernel.
Stock usually 5h so the O isn't too far off. Maybe very slightly for me. It can only improve from here I think.

7h is unheard of. were you on battery saver mode the entire time?
I can get over 6h on a fully stock pixel, locked bootloader and all. I would say the majority of my time is on wifi. O beta seems to work well but my understanding from a community post by Google, don't have the link anymore, is you need beta Google play services installed as well to get O's battery benefits. I can't say that it makes more of a difference for me in comparison to avoiding notorious apps which hinder performance. I had similar battery life on N.

fyi: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/6djbbf/for_those_on_o_beta_you_must_also_be_on_the_g/
My battery life on O was horrendous. We're talking night and day. I run stock with not more than 20 or so apps. Something is really really wrong with O. I've gone back and forth on the beta twice with the same results.
I use the beta ROM about one week and it is very very good , also battery very good

I'm getting really nice batterylife with 8.0, which is awesome. It is now more in line with my average battery life with other devices like the HTC 10 and such. This however is fine to me as long as it's not dying by 1-2PM for me haha

If you can, please gives us a little bit more about your setup meaning if you have root, kernel managers, aggressive doze app (greenify, naptime, etc), limiting background services etc

I am completely stock, just updated today. I turned off background operation using the battery manager built in to Android to limit apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, Chrooma Keyboard, etc.
For my usage my phone wouldn't last very long. I would probably hit 50% with an hour of screen on time. Now I'm at an hour and 54 minutes with 54% left. I've been off the charger since around 11AM, and it's currently 4PM so I'm definitely gonna have to see where it goes from here. When I leave work the real concern is heat when playing music or podcasts over Bluetooth, for whatever reason my phone was getting really hot when I used Bluetooth so I'll see how that is when I leave work today.

"DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn"....slightly confused by this..did you mean that you get privacy features like other VPN providers? AFAIK as I know DNS66 is only a local VPN and does not provide security/privacy features
