[Help] Battery problem

My battery is draining too fast after upgrading to android 4.3. Even only on 2g there is 1% decrease in battery almost after every 3 minutes. But with screen off it will remain almost at 99% after even 12 hours or more. But when I start using the phone for something like even navigating through the settings the battery drops 1% every 3 minutes or even less. My handset is about a month old. I am from India and running the ML4 android 4.3 recently released by Samsung. There is no wakelock when the screen is asleep. The phone screen consumes between 60 to 90% of the battery or more. I factory reset it thrice since the update but with no effect. I am running the 4.3 update for about 3 weeks now. I also installed Greenify, battery doctor, juice defender etc to save battery but there is no improvement. I installed the same apps that I installed on the 4.1.2 firmware but the battery is draining quite faster in the 4.3 version. I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

Do a clean install with Odin?

I remember my 4.1.2 had the same battery consumption and with 4.3 it remained unchanged(if not better). I think you just gonna get used to that .
Use your phone and stop thinking and worrying about battery. Though I charge my phone twice a day because I use wi-fi a lot,I still don't worry or something.

I have this habit of doing clean install. No mistake with that.

1% every three minute. I think its normal.
Charge to 100% and use normally till 5% and then post the screenshot of battery stats here.

With normal usage it is more than 10 hours at 77%. May be it's normal but it last more than that on 4.1.2

It is normal battery drain.
Battery on 4.3 is almost same as 4.1. What else do you expect its a quad core phone.

If I browse the internet non-stop from 100% batttery then, after around 3 hours the battery is 20-30%. Is this also normal.

Maybe your battery is damaged ...
otherwise you can check for wakelocks using Better Battery Stats:

This is funny! You mean to say that the upgrade to android 4.3 has damaged my battery? The battery is not even 1 month old as I mentioned in the first post. The battery is very good on android 4.1.2...... As I mentioned in the first post, there is no battery drain when the screen is off. Even after 24 hours the battery is 99% from 100% with screen off. Why should I checked for wakelocks when the battery is fine on screen off? I did checked it to be sure but no wakelocks. The battery problem is when I use the phone, the battery is draining abnormally when the phone is used. Anyway thanks for your reply.

Using BetterBatteryStats will nevertheless help you to find out which process is consuming your battery…

Yes, 4.3 upgrade downgraded my battery life about 20% when I am using my phone. On idle it is better about 10-20% also compared with 4.1.2. It is useless to do factory resets or other nonsense. Just it is as is.

You are right! There is no use resetting the phone. It won't improve your battery's performance. I think it's a bug of android 4.3.

I think you need to try someone else's battery in your phone to see if you have the same problem then

Okey So Firstly I rule Out Few Assumptions Made By Some Members(No Offense):
1) As thadoukuki said battery Drains only while using the phone and not wen its idle that means its not a wakelock for sure.
2)Secondly as the handset n battery ofcourse, are just a month old i dont even assume it to be damaged(Trust Sammy)
3)Thirdly 1% / 3Mins is quite normal on extensive Usage but as you say its just while navigating around settings etc. den i assume its a bit high.
4) Now betterbatterystats is good to identify what consumes your battery but ive never been a fan of that actually.
SO according to me try to do some trial n error work .
Instead of Freezing apps through TB u can use Greenify Donate to greenify system apps and user apps as well. It Does same job as TB freeze but without that extra hassle.
Secondly Choose a kernel that you think is battery friendly for you like the one which gives you peace of mind(Oh Yeah Battery's Draining Slow!!)
for me i'd go for Boeffla or Googymax
Choose a battery friendly Governer for ur CPU(For me Boeffla kernel with Archi_ultra_power_save governer gives great results)
Check if CPU Touch boost is Enabled in Kernel Settings coz Touch Boost gave me good performance and responsiveness but even i had observed that battery used to drain faster with it.
Battery friendly Rom with few Tweaks by xda members is always better for me over Stock( ArchiDroid Is the Rom ive ever Used){Personal Opinion}
Ppl Say undervolting helps .....hmm maybe ive never Done it but as you are very cautious about battery you may try it (on your own Risk)
Lets see if that Helps
And Lastly i never Observed much Change in Battery drain pattern wen Coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3 so thats not really true.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow battery discussion

This thread is for battery life discussion of android 6 Marshmallow.
I took the plunge recently and installed cm13 nightly on my phone after a couple of days with sultan's cm13 ROM. One notice that the android team really got the battery optimisations right this time especially when coming from android 5.1. The cell standby and android system bug is now gone and the phone can now be in standby for a long time. My usage pattern is browsing, reading in Adobe reader, listening to mucisc with bluetooth headphones, facebook, wassup, some youtube videos, sms and few calls. I play farm heros sometimes but I don't play graphical intensive games.
Here are 2 screenshots of my phone. It was charged to 100% at 8:00am on 30/11/2015 and it still has 41% left as at 10:00am 02/12/2015 Granted I have only used it on wifi and I configured wifi to automatically disable 5 minutes after the screen is off.
You can post you battery life too.

If a moderator deem it fit, he/she can close the thread but I felt it will be nice to make a dedicated thread for Marshmallow instead of looking through a big thread to get the relevant information needed for a particular android version.

yes.

It still sucks on mobile data. Nothing changed from Lollipop in regards of mobile data battery drain and i wish google could do something about it.

That's it! It's still on LP niveau

i had around 2 hours of screen on time and less than a day's battery life. The MMS also didn't work with WiFi connected, so I switched back to CM12.

I finally charged the phone today but not before I took a screenshot. My usage is not heavy at all so for heavy users, I guess the SOT will be longer but the total number of hours the phone was on will be lower. My usage did not change form that of 5.1 but I can definitely see a great change in standby time.

Still doesn't beat out KitKat in terms of heavy usage IMO.

The performance(yield) of the battery essuperior to android 5.1. The cycle of load lasts approximately two hours more of screen.

Try Omniron Herna build, it does wonders on my phone regarding battery usage
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

6.0 has the same battery life as 5.x for me. about 4-5h SoT.
KitKat and early 5.0 builds were clearly better with 8h SoT

Currently running Sultan's ROM CM13:
My battery life has hugely improved when I'm not touching the phone, no one app is draining way to much battery while not in the foreground.
There is one problem some people including me have been experiencing which is that Wi-Fi doesn't switch of properly and drains the battery, the only solution I found was to reboot the device after switching it off.
Not sure if this is a CM problem or the specific rom but not AOSP.
But apart from that battery life is good.

On sultan CM 13 CAF
Getting 4-5 hrs of SOT

Still waiting on a fix for mobile radio active. Had to go back to KitKat after a year on 5.x and a week or so on cm13. The difference in battery is staggering. Here's hoping Google actually finds a solution for the drain, otherwise I'm gonna have to stick to KitKat until I get a new phone.

I dont worry much abt battery charge ..currently on CM13.. dont see much of difference ... expect charge to last for 1 day.. connect to charging when home

Tech guys suggest me best battery rom for OPO don't fun with me by saying cm11s 44s. Almost 1 year stick to cm11 I need some latest android version in my device,
I'm new to xda
Thanks in advance!

Just stole myself this glorious phone yesterday (not really.. got a smokin deal) after 3 years and a month on a Nexus 4 that was left stock the entire time. My OPO is already rooted/unlocked so I'm trying to test out and find the best rom for battery life as both of the cm lollipop and marshmallow roms I've tried are about equal in terms of buttery-ness and just stick with that rom indefinitely.
Is general consensus that cm11 kit kat is far superior to the later cm roms in terms of battery life? Which exact rom would you choose as the last rom you flash onto your OPO ever?

This is what happened when I replaced Nexus 5X battery with a new one

Tired of getting 2h30 SOT (plugging off power at 7 am and needing to plug on again at 2 pm) I decided to spend a few bucks on a new battery. I own a nexus 5x for 10 months, so I thought maybe battery has been underperforming.
I've ordered also the needed tools so I could do the job myself. Very easy by the way.
I was excited to see how the brand new battery would perform the next day. So I plugged off power at 7 am and 2 pm I needed to plug back on power (2h30 sot). YEAH, I HAD NO IMPROVE AT ALL with a new battery.
Maybe it's that I have too many apps (100 at about), but I'm not the one who lives with whatsapp only.
So in order to relieve the pain of not getting through out the day I've bought an S7 edge and now I can settle down so I know I will get past through the day. I dislike many things on S7, like the crap fingerprint sensor and the inconsistent physical home button, but I'll try to live with it. My next bet would be the Xperia XZ, so I'm still considering.
So it was an unburden, but I feel I can help someone out with this experience.

Have you tried a third rom or ex kernel?

im kinda in the same boat. just received my 2nd replacement battery today... gonna see how the battery compares tomorrow with stock unrooted. if no change i'll be trying purenexus + elementalx with Hawktail 1.2 profile.... such a struggle with this phone........

I don't know about you, but my typical work day I range from 6-7 hours with around 3.5 SoT average. That's pretty okay, given how low our batteries are for this phone. I use SimpleAOSP + Franco kernel.

I deal with it by having a 10000 mAh battery bank handy in my work bag or car.

I know.
Since I have updated to Nougat, I have only 2 to 3 SOT. Also with franco kernel or elemtalx no improvement, no matter which profile.
Marchmallow was better with the battery performance.
I will try pure nexus with custom kernel (franco or elementalx).
I'm also wondering why the Android operating system has such a big battery consumption according to "betterbatterystats".
Otherwise always it was the google services.

A few questions
Which time do you plug off and on to power again? I mean, how many hours do you stay off the wall outlet?
How many apps do you have installed?
Do you use antes app/kernel for the purpose off extending battery life?
Thanks!

Mostly every night. Sometimes it gets me to 2 days of battery life. Im pretty heavy user
I have about 50 apps but i am very careful about apps i install and use. When i am at home on wifi all day it gets me 6-7 hrs SOT. I used most of the kernels i found on the XDA but now i am settled with minimalistic ABC rom with implemented DU kernel.

at first i was getting the same results but i've made some major improvements by using airplane mode when at work with wifi, greenifying almost all of my apps, removing Fitbit sync/notifications, and using the greenify manual hiberate now widget. getting over 2hrs of SoT now but it's still nowhere near the results I've seen from others using PureNexus Rom + ElementalX kernel (Hawktail 1.2 profile)

The battery of my Nexus 5x (not rooted) seemed to be nearly dead. Smartphone shut down at 50%, and sometimes the battery went down from 80% to 30% within a minute. Then suddenly the mainboard of my Nexus died. The mainboard was replaced and Android was resetted. After this the battery works as if it's a new battery.

I dont really know what you do in order to get less than 3h SOT, or what brightness you run your device on, or what apps you have installed, or if you have NFC, location, Bluetooth or LTE turned on all the time, but on this phone it is the usage that determines battery life. I got a new Nexus 5x with an old battery and had the same results. Ordered a new battery for about 10$ and got arround 5-5:30 h of SOT with the same usage over arround 43 h of stand by withouth charging in between on full stock. You might want to check whata draining your battery or maybe you are a multitasker that streams music, types on FB, browses instagram all at the same time while the screen is on 40% brightness.

For me 5x battery sucks, i want to get 6p soon, but price is a little bit too high now so i must wait some time to buy.
Im using Jolla kernel now, with small cluster -> 3cores, 1,2GHZ and big cluster -> 2 core 768MHz max.All on zzmove. Battery is now improved, some times big cluster shuts off sometimes it's working, but performance is good for dialy use. Multitasking is fine, chrome web browsing also. ~ 4h 20mins of SOT, previously ~ 3h.
So i think NOW battery is really good for my 1yr old phone.

ROM and kernel are inconsequential to battery life in comparison to normal factors such as usage, settings and signal. Without reducing performance or functionality (GAPs) the most you could hope for is +10-20%, if even that.
Low screen time doesn't mean your battery life is bad as that's just one form of measuring battery life. If you do a lot of messaging and phone calls for instance you will never have long screen time as you need to actively be using the screen in order to increase SoT. If SoT is your only measure of battery life then you don't understand how it works.
I regularly see 5-6 hours SoT over 24+ hours without root or disabling much, as I use my phone for mostly browsing and streaming.
Post some screenshots in our Battery Thread and I will take a look. Replacing hardware should be the last option for improving battery life.

I think it's not about the battery, rom, kernel, settings, installed apps....
I think......it's only about the device
I tried EVERYTHING. changed battery, all android versions, tried without google account, kernels, profiles, custom roms, interactive settings, I don't even use many apps
my device has abnormal consumption. period.
I have 3 friends with n5x that do more than 4 hrs of screen on
mine does 2. and I can do nothing. it's just this
I don't know if warranty could cover such thing, it would be hard to detect on RMA since is very user related

Use Greenify to kill some apps that work in background. If you are Facebook /Messenger user, to maximise the battery life uninstall them and use alternative one like the lite version of these. "Naptime" for aggressive doze. Greenify and Naptime gave to my phone nice battery life.... From 100% - 2% I have 4:15 - 4:30 SOT . All stock 7.1.2

[app] [rom] battery life extending and low draining roms

To avoid early batterie break it's everywhere recommended to charge not up to 100% and also not discharge low to 0%.
1. I've used some years battery charging limit:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.batterychargelimit
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-battery-charge-limit-t3557002
But I can't get it work on mi9
2. Now I'm using ACCA
https://github.com/MatteCarra/AccA
It's working with power supply but it don't work with wireless charging. Is there someone who knows a solution ?
Please post here all apps which are able to start stop charging at adjustable levels.
3. Thread is also open now for tips and tricks for low draining ROMs and mods like lkt, fde.ai,kernel optimization.
Here you'll find the statement for my actually installed ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80213469&postcount=13

I use Battery Charge Limit, It works fine (stopping at 75% both in wired and wireless charging). Version 1.1.1

Hi
Here in this thread we're discussing how to extend battery life with charging settings not for the daily usage time.
But if your rooted like my mi9 transparent with revolution os you can freeze some miui apps and and other bloadware and you can make fine adjustings in build.prop
I didn't like battery saver apps. Only one for me is good : leandroid apk
In the moment I've got only 3% discharge over night. And SOT around 7 hours (not completely tested in case of only 3 days usage of revolution mod)
My free RAM is around 5.3 GB
I'm using automatic brightness mod v4
Have a look here:

Use auto brightness but you may have to push it up at times to get it to a level of your liking or I do.
I use mine hard and get great life. But it depends on which ROM you have and what update you have installed as they had issues with a few as I did myself.
I have EU global stable 10.2.28.0
I get 17hrs with 9hrs being SOT before I charge normally.
I can get over 11hrs straight SOT.
I've gotten 31hrs with 6hrs 23min SOT.
I consider that excellent especially for how I use mine doing a lot of videos and watch a lot of YouTube as well as movies with it

I've gotten 31hrs with 6hrs 23min SOT.
I consider that excellent especially for how I use mine doing a lot of videos and watch a lot of YouTube as well as movies with it

Friend, in EU custom ROM, mobile connection shows LTE or 4G?
Any issues from global stock? Tks!

I have stock, I have not changed what the factory provided. Just going off there updates but I was about to and I will in the future. But it automatically kills your warranty so I didn't do it yet not that it really matters.
But I have WiFi connected at the house along with LTE not 4g which they are pretty much the same.
But it says LTE.

It's the first time I ever heard I shouldn't charge my phone to 100%. Can someone direct me to an explanation for this? (I knew already about not letting it go to 0%)

ROM with adjustable charging percentage
Hi guys
I'm now on Syberia 2.8 with evira kernel and lkt and its nearly perfect for me.
The best is that already a charging controller is implemented and the battery is also low stressed in case of a good power management. Over night around 2% discharge and SOT around 7 hours (mixed usage in dark and sun with velis autobrightness)
Only AI button and directly unlock by fingerprint isn't implemented at the moment.
But there is a flip to mute ringtone, call recording, long screenshot, full gesture control with back on swipe from right and or left side..... And much more....

Actually not,unlocking the bootloader or even rooting does not kill the warranty according to Xiaomi's policy . One of the few companies that allow it.

Not anymore, better read up on there policies. Also when you do that you loose your updates. You will no longer be eligible for factory updates but I know that really shouldn't matter because you can do it yourself at that point.

Poor Battery Management!!!

I am using this phone from Last 1 week and one thing I've noticed that battery management is very poor. it keeps decreasing without no usage even when the phone sitting on the table. the phone has 4000Mah of battery but there is battery usage tab in the settings like stock android to track down what is consuming more battery. The battery is not even lasting a full day.
I think its better if someone makes or port a Stock Android-based ROM for Samsung A51 or get the solution for Poor battery management.

I think you can check battery management in Setting > Device Care > Battery.
I agree with you that the battery is poor. I cant use the phone in 1 day without charging.

Thanks for the update, let me track down the background apps for 24 hours, let see if I can help to minimize the battery drainage. BCS its the first time when I am using a Samsung phone. I usually like to use phones with stock android & never faced this issue before regarding the battery

Human consumption. My battery lasts 3 days

Well, not sure if you just purchased the phone to keep looking at it and only making and receiving calls?️

Hello !
You said that u can use u're phone 3 days and that's because of the firmware.. Can you give me more information about that please ?
I got recently this phone but the 4000mah is drained too fast, I optimize a lot of thing and got the minimal app in background or fonction like sync. The proof is that One UI is the app that drain the most of my battery.
Finally i think that is because of the screen..
But do you have an solution with a firmware or root for the autonomy of this phone ?
Sorry for my english and thanks for you're answer !
