Yesterday my wife and I experienced a sudden battery drain on our S7 edge. It really puzzles me that it started at the same time on 2 different devices.
At 5pm my battery was at 35%. 3 hours later it was dead. More or less same story on my wifes' phone.
Today it's the same situation. I have restarted and closed all running apps. Keeps draining. Temperature seems OK. Can't spot any unusual app activity
Anyone experienced this, and do you know what I can do?

Have you tried to wipe cache in recovery it maybe helpful
I am using s7 edge from last 3 months. But now, I am having problem with my battery. Getting only 2-2.5 hours of average screen time. Can anyone please help me with this?
Check if an app you downloaded previously went rouge by entering safe mode.

Hey guys.
I have had a Nexus 7 since the end of July and I love it! However, recently I have been experiencing a weird problem with my battery. Normally, after a full charge I can get about 6 full days in just standby or about 5 if I use it for a considerable amount of time. What has happened recently is that my Nexus has dropped the battery percentage by a lot at completely random times. Like for instance, Friday night it was at about 15% when I left it. Now normally it'll only drain a few percentage points while in standby. I came home about 4 hours later to find it completely dead. That has never happened before. It gets weirder. Last night I went to bed with it at about 85% remaining. I woke up about 6 hours later and was surprised to see that it drained to 55% in just standby! Then after it drains a large amount, it goes back to normal standby behavior. (It is at 53% as I write this)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Have you checked which apps are running in the background? Did you install any new apps around the time your issues began?

Sorry for the late reply. I have not installed anything new. I will see if it happens again. So far, it has not.
Thanks!
So my new Note 3 was fully charged this morning and when I got to class I noticed it had heated up A LOT. It was very, very warm. I had all the apps shut down, Mobile Data turned off, Wifi turned off, GPS/location services turned off, etc and it still died in 2 hours. I was concerned because it was heating up very hot too, so I took the case off and as soon as I returned to my room I plugged it in. The battery went from 100% to 2%.
Why did my Note heat up like that and die when nothing was currently running on the device? Help!!! I don't want this to happen again :crying:

That sounds extremely wrong. I would return it personally if something like that happened to me. My note 3 has never felt even the slightest bit hot to me. It could be something you downloaded, or a crazy app doing something in the background. but for a 3200 mah battery to drain 100% to 2% in 2 hours seems like something is faulty.
I cant even drain the phone that fast on purpose if i tried.
Agreed , just return it or warranty it .

There is an anomaly with you phone. I've had this problem before but on a Motorla Droid Bionic. I was tethering while on a custom rom and my battery went from 96% to 2% in 2 hours. Sorry if it's off topic, my JuggerNote3 has not had a battery issue like you mentioned, so far. Best of luck of getting a replacement and fixing your battery issue
Thanks everyone - I am going to try and fix this problem. Additionally, my phone has also restarted 2 times. This concerns me as well. Does the Note3 need to update by restarting? If not, then I definitely have a battery problem.
My phone is fine now
SO I never got around to doing anything about this problem, and it never happened again. I've had this Note 3 for about 2 months and now it's fine. I met a guy who also said this happened to his N3 (more than once) but his phone still functioned fine. So it seems like maybe it got overworked too soon after I got it??? I'm not sure but it's all good now! I absolutely love this phone, and would recommend it to others. Looks like I'll be a Samsung user from now on
I charged my phone for a little bit last night because it was a little low (48%). I took it off at about 77%. I don't understand what happened. Why did it just drop like a rock? Phone is AT&T LG g2, stock 4.2.2 rooted.
Jesus that can't be good.
I have no clue about this one; it's just too weird.
I'd probably let it fully deplete and then completely charge it and see if it ever does it again.

That's what I'm going to do. Unfortunately this is not the first time it has happened. This happened about 2 weeks ago, but then my GSAM showed a HUGE signal decrease at the same time my battery drained, so I figured it was just that.
This time I just do not understand. I've had this phone since August or September and it's been great until this randomly started happening in the past couple weeks.

Well it says 66% of that was phone radio signal. So that is the problem 90%. I had similat problem only it was while charging, so my phone wasnt charging almost at all, when i restarted it was charging fine (from 20% to 100% in 90 min) . What happened when u picked it up, was it still doing that? Or maybe its a some kind of cpu loop if that is even possible. Some people was complaining about nexus 5 rapidly discharging with combo of some lite apps (news readers).

Yes even after picking it up, the drain continued. I've let it die and am charging the phone while it's off but I don't know if the problem will be fixed.
The youtube app was causing a major battery drain for me a few days ago,now I close it after using it just in case . I'm in the habit of checking the phone's temperature at all times :/
it has a great battery life, especially sceen on time, but the standby isn't top notch at all, I think it's poor software optimization on LG's end, I hope 4.4.2 fixes it.
charge till full. then reboot and check battery percentage.

I turn my phone on airplane mode at night and the last few nights I did this, I experienced 0-1% battery drain overnight, which was also pretty much in line with what I saw for my old S6. Last night, however, my battery dropped 3% overnight while on airplane mode. In GSam, it says most of the battery use was due to Kernel, then followed by Android System.
This can't be normal? Considering my S6 had a 2550 mAh battery and the S7 edge has a 3600 mAh battery, the S6 would have been using less than 25.5 mAh overnight while the s7 edge was using up to 108 mAh overnight. Considering that Marshmallow has doze, I'm really not sure what could have been using up this much battery!
Do any of you guys have any possible insight into this?
Anyone? I've been checking battery usage over the last few nights and it seems to drop about 3% every night in airplane mode.
There is a leak somewhere within the system apps.

Thanks for the response. Is this a known issue that's happening to many or am I one of few?

It's a known issue happening to many people with the US version of the phone. The one with the Snapdragon CPU.
Found this thread while searching for a solution regarding my Moto G (2nd), because I'm facing exact the same problems. I have NO root (everything stock), and lately I hoped the upgrade from L to M would solve the problem, but yesterday it was back again. The continous battery drain started somewhere at the late afternoon, and didn't even stop after switching off everything you can (inlcuding autosync) before going to bed. Very annoying, though the first days after the upgrade looked promising. This bug seems to be a general problem in Android, and for me it started last year with Lollipop.
I have had my Galaxy S7 since about four days before it was officially released thanks to T-Mobile shipping it early. (I say this because I assume this is enough time for the battery to cycle)
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced some crazy system battery drain? I have hardly used my phone today other than two phone calls that lasted about 2 minutes each. My Android System has used 42% battery and it's draining at about 5% an hour. I don't even have two hours of screen on time. I close my apps out when I am finished with them so I don't think that is the problem. I also have location turned off. Any ideas? :crying:
My doing the same. Not sure what's the big gap is about.

Mine was getting 7 hours sot for around 20 hrs of usage then all of a sudden the other day it started this crazy battery drain where it went from 100% to 80% in 2 hours with no use age. I didn't install anything new at all. So I did a factory reset and now it's back to the way it was.
I had to have had an app that went rogue as my device also was heating up. The reset was just the quickest and easier way to correct. Besides with no root it's almost impossible to find the culprit

I had a battery drain issue and I traced it to the "My Places" app that the contexual location edge bar uses to determine your location. It was keeping my GPS on and keeping my phone awake. Turned it off and back to 5+ hours screen on time.
