i9500 extreme battery drain on 4.3 help

Hi guys,
Last night I upgraded to 4.3 on my S4 9500.
Everything is good except the battery, especially in idle mode.
I went to bed for 7 hrs. And my battery dropped 22%.
My phone never went to sleep. My cpu is running all 7 hrs. at 250mhz.
Please see the screenshots below.

I did a factory reset as well, the problem seemed to have solved itself but after a while the same issue emerges. Dunno what's the case. I'm getting overheating issues as well as the battery drain.

Wipe all, Do not restore the applications and data on JB 4.2.2 from titanium backup, reinstall completely new when you need. freezing Samsung applications, accounts, system app is not needed (Knox), the service runs in the background ....... I did so and the result is that only 1% to 2% for to 3 hours in standby mode. Good luck
Sorry for my bad English.

Hi i9500 cousins.
Here is a way to avoid battery and lag issues when upgrading firmware is via kies!
Same happens with iOS devices believe it or not.

Horrendous battery drain on N9005

I have a N9005 running Alexndr's stock, rooted 5.0 ROM. Over the last few weeks the phone has had battery drain problems. I used to be able to get a couple of days out of the one charge but now I'm having to charge it in the afternoon. If it's at 50% charge when I go to bed it's completely dead in the morning. I'll attach some screenshots from betterbatterystats. One possible culprit seems to be com.google.android.gms which I think is part of google play services. Can someone please have a look at the screenshots & comment on them?
Thanks

I have the same problem.
I've always had 6-7 hours of sot, worse case 5 hours.
Now I have 2 hours.
I have done a factory reset, the problem is still there.

What kind of battery are you using? Have you tried using another battery?

Amplify needs a deodexed ROM and Xposed framework AFAIK and I don't have a deodexed ROM. Interestingly, my Tab S 8.4 has developed the same problem. Turning off Google location history has helped a bit but it's still way poorer that it was.

I think the problem is in the Google services itself. On my Note 3 I'm having the same drain issue. On my wife Samsung A3 too.

I thought task-killer apps were counter-productive?
Anyone tried the Disable Service app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en

I Just freeze the app in Titanium Backup and test .
I also read the forum battery saving tips threads .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Probable that its the battery .

I recently bought a new battery for my note 3 (by Anker) and it was a grand decision. The horrible battery drain is gone. I used to charge twice a day. I thought it may have been the rom but, although i did also change Rom from Phronensis to Dark Wolf pure white, my wifes note 3 is still on Phronensis and there's no drain on her phone so it most likely is the battery. Get a new battery but make sure it's a good battery. Read the reviews before buying.

+2 for Anker from me .

Galaxy note 4 fast battery drain issue

I m using galaxy Note 4 N910C, which i have had for 15 month.
Since the last 2 or 3 months, the battery drain increased a lot, and it goes incredibly fast from 30~20% to 0%. Sometimes it may even shut when at 20...I m thinking this is happening because of OS update to marshmallow and since then no more updates for us.
But right now my phone screen started flickering, my aplications became very laggy and unresponsive, and phone lost mobile signal (wifi still connected). I plugged the charger in and it still kept falling untill 0% and turned off.
This is the problem I m also having. Many have got the same problem. Why it actually happening. Mostly seems to be software issues. After factory reset my battery stays longer but within 2 to 3days again same problem. Because of marshmallow update. **** what the ****ing developers doing ? We need one ****in updatell to fix this issue.
I have even heard that the battery calibration in android 6.0.1 update has some sort of problem and recalibration would fix the problem for some but not for all since it didn't fixed my problem. Anyone who has some ideas about this severe issue please help. Help will be appreciated. Thank you.

OK, well it's definitely not the Marshmallow update - I've been using it on my N910C since it was released and on a recently purchased battery (direct from Samsung) I'm getting 5-6 hours SoT and battery always goes to 1% before shutting down (although I rarely let it get that low).
It may be some other software causing your problem, a hardware issue, a non-genuine battery, or you somehow need to reset the battery stats. Because it works OK for 2-3 days after a reset, it sounds like it might be some app causing an issue.

Does it worth rooting to improve battery life?

Hi, I have Samsung SM-G935F Dual sim phone (bought used) and today I replaced it's battery thinking there was an issue with the batter as it was draining like 1% after 3 minutes with SOT but with the replaced battery I have the same effect. Searching through the internet I came to know that this phone has awesome battery backup but I wasn't able to witness it myself so far. The cell is pretty good with screen off but with screen on the battery drains fast. Under heavy usage it lasts for 6-7 hours max. Youtube, Whatsapp, Facebook.
So should I install a custom rom? I don't think so as many people have said this phone's battery time is impressive.
Any feedback would be appreciated. P.s. I'm' on latest Oreo 8.0.0 and I can't get to the battery usage screen either no any other application helps. Thanks in advance. I wasted 7$ on battery already.

S7 Edge has a good battery backup. If you are running stock ROM then your phone should be filled up with bloatware as well. You can give a try by rooting and installing a custom ROM. Even after custom ROM, if your battery drains as before then it could be an hardware issue.

Use odin and flsah TWRP recovery. You will get lots of post when you search in xda forum itself.
Note: First backup your data before doing anything.

I am not sure of that because I dont track SOT. But you can feel the difference.
