Hi Guys,
Been following XDA for a long time but never had to post anything as everything had already had an answer to my question.
I know there are a lot of threads about battery drain but for some reason, everything I have tried has seemed to help minimally.
Here's the rundown.
I have a Galaxy S5 G900I running G900F custom rom, Resurrection Remix 5.6.7 Marshmallow.
Previously I was running the lollipop version of Resurrection Remix and battery was fine.
The phone is over a year old, but I have tested the battery with another S5 my wife has and it is perfectly fine. It charges fairly quick when the power is off on the phone and still fast enough while it's in use. Even if I am to open up a game on my wife's phone with my battery or hers, the battery continues to charge slowly while in use.
On my phone however, switched with both batteries, the drain is astronomical. I tested playing a game and I would lose practically 1% of battery per minute while in game.
What I have done so far is, installed Xposed, I have Amplify running following various guides which has slowed down the drain of my battery, I have installed Greenify which has also helped. I've turned off the scanning of wifi and bluetooth in locations. I have tried going back to stock rom which does help but it doesn't help me figure out the issue I want to fix.
I have tried switching power points in the house, changing usb cables, changing chargers, all of which do not help my phone with either battery, but on my wives it is fine.
I have also set CPU profiles in Rom Toolbox to lower CPU usage in idle, lower than 15% battery, while on charge. As of today, even while using the phone, I have limited the max CPU usage.
Prior to this latest updated Rom with Marshmallow, I could use my phone and have it plugged into my USB 3 on my PC and it would charge while in use unless playing a game or using a high demanding application, in which case, it would slowly drain. If in a power point adapter it would charge regardless.
Now, even in idle, on my PC, it drains while charging, and charges extremely slow on a power point.
I have searched for over a week trying to find any sort of guide or help with this problem and I have certainly minimized some of the drain but this is ridiculous.
If anyone has any idea's on what it could be, please let me know. I have tried cleaning all the dirt and gunk out of the charging point, the only thing I haven't done is pull apart the phone to see if its a hardware problem (Which I am starting to think it might be.)
have u tried with another usb cable?

Yes, I have tried various USB cables on various USB chargers, even non USB chargers I had laying around. And as I said, I have also switched the batteries into my wife's phone and they charge fine there.
The problems only started once I upgraded to Marshmallow.
It also persists when the phone is switched off and charging. It's just slow.

Do they persist while on L? Could possibly be a conveniently timed hardware failure.

Your default CPU 1900.0 MHz (8-core) this now running at 2400 MHz, you are lucky that the phone did not permanent damaged up to date.
Find S5 G900I compatible ROM and not what ever ROM.
try to factory reset your device 1st. if its only started after MM update then must be software issue.

Done that. Had a previous ROM installed and the battery was better. But I want to know how to fix the issue, I don't want to revert back to older software.
I know its possible because even with the same rom installed, before I bricked it and forgot to back it up, I had better battery life.

First thing I did was cap the cpu usage at 1900mhz.
Go back to stock lollipop and check if u still have the problem

It seemed that you did that unsuccessfully, OR you battery gets old and needs replacement.
At about 400 charging times, the battery this is now at 80% capacity or less.
In my S5 I have permanently activated basic power saving mode, this clocks the CPU always lower than Max.
The phone seems happy, and I am too.
By using one Qualcomm App I discovered how low is low with basic power saving mode on.
Flash a custom Kernel and you can set it more or less as low as you like
S5 this is a very complicate device, I am trusting only Samsung about it.
If this was an old tablet with out ROM support from anywhere, in this case I would.

Having trouble finding a custom ROM that's a stable build that runs on S5 and on Marshmallow. Would you happen to know any in particular that I could use?
consider buying a new battery

I use a stock MM port G900FXXU1CPD7-BTU
But you could just flash a compatible custom Kernel and then have control over the CPU/GPU clocks

This one looks like it supports stock TW 6.0.1 MM for the G900F
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...kernel-phoenix-kernel-v7-marshmallow-t3340407
But like always, do your own research before flashing
EDIT - Actually it looks like the dev has left out OCing from this Kernel, not sure about downclocking/under volting - maybe request it in his thread

Hi I have been viewing these forums for a long time now and wondering if any of you good guys could answer my question since I've searched google from top to to bottom with no joy .
Basically, I recently updated my firmware through odin to the latest xxubmea that incudes several fixes including the copy to sd option. As far as the performance goes etc everything is fine except, I was adoment the charging speed had got a lot slower. To prove this I downloaded 'galaxy charging current'. It was as I thought only showing 1200mah through the stock 2a charger while using the device. I then turned the screen off and noticed when I turned it back on you could just catch a glimpse of a 1900mah reading before dropping to 1200mah again. Further to this I decided to pop around my mates who is still on the original firmware and to my shock was recieveing the full 1900mah when using his device. It now appears that Samsung have physically limited the charge rate of the s4 by nearly half and in my eyes it's very noticeable. Now when I am getting ready to go out and have the radio streaming the battery life won't charge anywhere near as much as before meaning my battery is most flat by the end of the night.
I know one way of getting it to charge at full speed again is to just flash the old version again since I have folder mount and never really had many noticeable problems with it anyway.
Does anybody know why Samsung would have reduced this current? Since the speed it charged was a big bonus for me.
Also does anybody know anyway I can get it to charge at 1900mah in use by flashing a kernel or changing a particular setting or downloading an app etc?
Many thanks
Lee
are you really you sure that what you saw in your friend's S4 is correct? afaik charging rate will normally go down if you are using the phone
try other charge monitoring software such as battery monitor widget

On MEA (Omega 5.0) or even MF4 (Omega 6.0) software i was able to get 1900mA charging no probs, but now on Omega 7.0 XXUBMF8 i get only 1200mA. I`ve tried it on stock and custom kernels so the problem exists
Samsung limited the charging to 1200 when screen is on.
Screen off is still 1900.
This will limit overheating while using your phone with the charger connected.
Want the battery to charge faster, just leave the phone with the screen off.

Hello everybody!
I have a Note 3 N900, 5.0, L19, dr ketan rom. This problem existed even on stock, and on stock KitKat.
I have a problem with the battery percentage. The battery percentage goes down at a rate of, for example when browsing the web on Chrome, 2%-4% a minute!
Overall, the battery life is not good during to this problem, as you guys can imagine. Tried to do a battery cycle (emptying the battery and charging to full) with no success...
Bought 2 new (!) batteries, but still, with no luck.
What the he** can be the problem if not from the ROM itself?
Thank you!

EXACT same with my s4 i9500. no matter which rom, give it official lollipop, custom roms, cm12, cm11, official 4.4, my battery sucks in all of them. my battery decreases about 2%/minute with ANDROID system being the most battery hug in battery details, in ever rom i use since couple of months back.

i guess this is bcz of the phone itself not the battery. couple of yrs ago i had a nokia 5800, and after 6 months of use, it started to lose charge. even without using it it would stay for slightly more than 1 hour. i got it to repair center, and they tested out with new batteries, etc, and still they couldnt solve it so they exchanged it with N8. i sugges you to take it to the repair shop before the warranty ends if it hasnt ended yet. or should get a replacement unit. my s4 has 2 years of warranty btw. i also need to visit the repair shop some time.

hhhhhhh well, the warranty has already expired, but even if I had one, I couldn't get it to a repair center to fulfill my warranty, because, well, I'm rooted
Well, when the phone isn't in use, it won't lose almost much at all... It was always when the screen is on, for some reason.... The weird thing is, that I can't see anything out of the ordinary in BBS/Wakelock Detector/Battery section on settings....
Weird......
Azar_98 said:
Here in Qatar they're too stupid for everything so all I need to do is install a UAE official kitkat without rooting and then giving them. Also this year on may, a hardware-wise problem happened to my Xperia tab z, and it wasn't booting up at all. I knew it was nothing to do with software, it was a hardware failure so they replaced it and it was rooted. However since jt wasnt booting up they had no way to check root. Idk if I've been cursed at or something, every device of mine needs to go to repair at least once in its lifetime. I have recently bought an HP laptop and now the screen doesn't turn off when I close the lid, it doesn't even detect the lid at all. This also hardware wise...

Replacing is not an option for me as I have no extra money to spend right now, while I can't send it to Samsung center and claim for warranty as my warranty has expired already...
No other solutions?

i have it and it's amazing, i get around 20 hours of screen on time :good:

Can you give us more specific info about what's using your battery?
Install BetterBatteryStats and send some screenshots, this is an extreme problem I can tell. There must be something keeping your phone in full power all the time.
How hot is your device? Believe it or not, the battery gets affected extremely by heat since it Lithium-ion.
What apps do you have installed? Apps like Facebook and similar will cause consumption.
There's a lot of things that affect the battery.

Take a look at these.
I, personally, can't see anything special. Do you?
According do those screenshots you have excellent battery life! I don't even get half of that. The screen of your note 3 takes up lots of power. What I can suggest is to change you max Cpu frequency to 1490mhz and go for the intellidemand governor. The snapdragon 800 is powerful enough to run smoothly with that frequency. Try it and report back if it did any changes.

Oh right! I'm sorry, I missed that part. But just try to underclock your CPU a little bit and you should see a increase in battery life. Just try whatever frequency you want, the only thing that might happen is a slow device (you basically can't break the phone with underclocking, in fact, it's better for the CPU). Remember to change your governor to Intellidemand or Intellimand (can't remember the exact name).

I don't think that there are working custom kernel for the 5.0 N900... shame there's almost no more development for our phone..

i have this same **** problem
Ok, even with two new batteries and a few battery cycles with them, the percentage won't stabilize... Today the battery ran down to zero, and the phone continued to run (on 0%) for about 20 min..............
After replacing the battery, I was on 100%, dialed *#0228# and did the "RUN TEST" and the percentage went down to 23%. Dialed again and it went up to 82% and charged it. I can't seem to find a godda** solution for this problem!
What can I do to solve this?!!

so this topic was being discussed in the RR 7.1.2 official thread as many/some of the members there are having this issue. moved here as not to spam the thread there and deviate from the main topic. can anyone advise on that? using original charger and cable. getting between 200 and 700mah. and hope this isn't a deviation from the topic, but any progress or workaround the shutdown bug when phone reaches <= 20%? or any other percentage other than 0?

Hello,
I'm not aware of the slow charging issue. I haven't updated my wife's N6P yet as I'm waiting for Pure Nexus developer to release 7.1.2
Just... There's no progress or workaround for the early shutdown issue. The batteries have likely degraded prematurely. People still under warranty get their battery replaced by Google/Huawei...
Cheers...
i have no shutdown bug thankfully, but i can confirm that ever since i flashed DU Official 7.1.2 rom , charging has slowed down quite significantly.
i do not know why but i defintely noticed that charging has become much slower than when i was on 7.1 hmmm

i know about that thermal mod , but i dislike using such things.
i only use custom kernel (flash kernel) and that's it.
i thought it was only me, but seriously now that i see this 'slow charging on 7.1.2'
i straight out remembered that how over the last few weeks charging my phone has become so slow.
it used to charge it super fast.
now i'm wondering whether i should go back to 7.1 =_=

Is anyone using accubattery? Seems like a good app telling you how much your battery has degraded over time and your charging speed. Don't know how accurate it is.
My phone has been bone stock since day one. Regarding slow charging , I have not ran across it. Maybe issues for phones running custom roms .. etc.
You said original cable and charger. I'm an electrical engineer and flexible cables are notorious for wires microfracturing which is considered an open path. Because they are moved around, bent, twisted, and the bundle of tiny conductors began to have breaks in some of them which will reduce it's total ampacity. Hence charging very slow. Kinda like bending a piece of aluminum back and forth eventually it breaks in half. Have you used a new Virgin cable to eliminate it as the culprit? That is most certainly the number one cause of slow charging.

I did try other cables with sane output. Thing is i tried MM and fast charging is there. Come to 7.1.2 it gives slow charging
i just reverted back to 6.0 RR and these are the results. so i guess it is rom based. hope that helps
and this is on stock ROM
so it's a rom issue apparently. just flashed screw'd latest build and i am getting charging rapidly. couldn't be happier
I don't want to blame ROMs for giving phone issues , but the official OEM software that are built for the phone works. Once you modify builds, kernals , etc...the phone will turn out different, thus will have issues. I have been using bone stock 6p since day one. The only issue i had was the 7.1.2 beta lol ...

Try a different kernel if there is one.
already moved to Screw'd and all perfect there. no charging issues. just elementalX kernel and top notch.thanks
I'm on latest stable DU 7.1.2 and haven't noticed a slow charging issue. As for the early shutdown bug someone in this section posted a solution a week or two ago that he claimed worked for him and allowed the battery to go back to draining below 20%. It should be easy enough to find if you look for it. I don't know if it actually works because I haven't experienced that issue either but most people report that the issue does go away if you change the battery.
I have had this problem since 7.1.1 on pure Nexus. I clean flashed to 7.1.2 on pure Nexus yesterday and still not receiving rapid charging. Any thoughts?

How can you say it doesn't work on that ROM only ?
It's discussed a lot time before,
- use "Ampere" app to know current rate,and temperature of your device.
- temperature shouldn't cross ~44℃.

Check if it works without modifications like ex kernel. As mentioned before: it's never a rom problem.
nope hal-3 has fast charging. however invicta os at starting has problems with fast charging this okay at the beginning. give it sometime to rest. and check the heating problem. check if your phone is above 45 or near it. fast charging stops at that temp. also could you tell how you restored apps to your device, cuz my device would heat a lot and fast charging would not happen, iff i restored it via flashable twrp made with the help of titanium backup
Look
I downloaded Turbotoast and it's recognizing the fast charger but the cellphone doesn't charge rapidly

Let your battery run down to 20-30% and then try again. You're seeing slow charging as your battery is nearly full in those screenshots. Thus, your device is tricklecharging to protect the battery and your device. That's normal behaviour across many batteries/devices with batteries.
Drain your device battery and use Ampere to monitor charging. If Turbocharging doesn't kick in (and/or you don't see 2000+ mA in Ampere), report back with screenshots and details.

Just got a note 4 from my friend to play with since he's not using it anymore. The problem is that the phone heats up a lot whenever its on, even if the screen is off.
My guess is that the processor receives too much power from the battery? Or is it possible that the problem is related to the CPU? Or is it the battery?
Right now im tempted to buy a new replacement battery just to see if the battery is the problem. But i hope for some advice if you guys have experienced this before. Thanks!
Update 1: Changed the battery. The drain is much slower compared to before but the phone still gets really hot. Any idea why?
I have the same problem. I am not sure why overheating happens but I think about few things: constant Wi-Fi activity, a lot of installed apps, low free memory.
I just ordered a battery to see if its the problem
Yesterday my phone was very hot and very slow. I thought battery can't be the reason but I was wrong. I replaced my few months used battery with my old one and phone worked normally. So battery can be the reason for overheating.

The first time it was just the stock rom and kernel. Then i tried blissrom with its kernel and still the same results. Right now im using the superstock rom with its kernel

BlissRom is very old, did u try anything new like Nemesis? It has very good kernel also, SpaceLemon. Try it and see if your problems are solved.

I tried nemesis and erobot but they were pretty laggy since i had to use minimum clock speeds or else it gets hard to hold the phone cause of the heat. Also i think one of them had spacelemon kernel but i couldnt change the clock speeds and the phone became unbearably hot so i quicky changed to bliss then superstock
Got a new battery today will pop it in when i get home.
Does your phone still overheats?

When im in the OS yes it does. But when i was in TWRP last night it was pretty normal unlike the time before the new battery. Also the idle drain is disturbingly fast i left it on last night and when i woke up today it was fully drained. Still trying to find out if there are apps causing the drain
Maybe latest firmware cause that. I am planning to flash 5.1.

I will also try that
Please post the results.
It runs relatively cooler (like cool enough that i can use it without a case without burning my hand, it just gets warm) on rulinglite rom which is on the 5.1.1 version so it does have something to do with the firmware maybe. The battery still drains too much though even in safe mode so im not sure anymore on whats the problem on my note 4

Unfortunately nothing i try fixes the overheating i read at a note 5 forum that his phone overheats constantly because of the too many charging cycles probably damaged the motherboard. I think that might be the cause of overheating here too.
Also no problem with unmounting or anything else. Just the overheating and the massive battery drain even when the screen is off

I am also having problem with random memory card unmounting. I think overheating is reason for that.

Sad to say that these note 4's probably cant be used as daily drivers anymore i have to charge mine to every 3 hours lol since thats all the battery life it can give on a single full charge
Such a shame since the screen is so good and the camera is super crisp too. I will probably just use it for some daylight photography haha
Have you tried simpl rom?
Using genuine samsung batteries or 3rd party?
NFC on,bluetooth etc?
Tried with mem card and sim out?
Which model you have,exynos or qualcomm?
Have 2x910C here and no probs.

I have C version of Note 4. I bought new battery but I still have problem with overheating and random memory card unmounting. I have a lot of applications and latest firmware. I didn't tried to use 5.1.1 firmware and don't know how to solve this problem.
