Big battery drain suddenly - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I got a really weird problem, i got this phone now for a few months and everything was fine till yesterday.
Normally i get 3-4 hours screen time with mild use but now my phone drains without even doing something, just letting the phon in my pocket for an hour and 30% gone.
I tried deleting cache but it didnt fix it.
I got screenshots from battery ussage

Everything ok now, problem was the oculus app update.

Battery issue

Hi guys
i got a problem with battery, last chargings will make my battery runs for 3 days with result 2x%. After 2 last chargings it can work 1 day and couple of hours and i have less than 20%. I've installed watchdog to watch running programs and i didnt noticed that any of them has highs CPU usage, i dont have many widgets and ive uninstalled all new programs that i get before this issue. If you have some ideas please let mi know! i will be greatful
ps sorry for grammar
edit: i didnt mentioned im using x8 with stock 2.1
exaplme: ive charged my phone before sleep, disconnetct with 100% and know with no using after 10h i have 69%;/ wifi off, only gsm,no data transfer etc
Are u sure?
As the screen needs the 80% of the battary usage,
If you spent half an hour on internet more than an other day, the diference is realy big.
Actually, i charge my phone every night when i use it all the day.
If you don't play game or open apps (use of the screen), the phone can stand 2days and more. If you use it, you check XDA, your e-mail... you must charge it every night.
Try decrease your brightness... or open it in dark places lol (i must do the same).
yeah im pretty sure that i didnt use my phone that much to loose a lot of power, when im looking for solution i've tried to reboot my phone and now it looks like everythinkg is ok, 62% stands for more than 3h with only few second's talk by phone. i will test more and let you know so maybe if one day you will get the same problem youll get solve. still wondering what is the reason of so fast draining battery. thanks anyway for your answers

Enormeous battery drain....

Hello to you all!
I'm expiriencig an hudge battery drain since 2 days.
Normaly my battery last for arround 24h. Yesterday I'v unplugged my phone at 6.30AM and till 1PM (I'v made only one call appr. 5min and 3g was on all the time - no othe use!) the battery was gone...
The same in the afternoon and today... I don't remember if the phone ingetting preety warm durrin chargin cos I'm playing or seing tether durring chargeing or sleeping. Now with turned off everything the uper part of the phone (includeing camera and screen) is getting very warm! like durring long playing games with 3G....
I belive it all began with installing the google+ app... I'v just uninstalled it and chargeing the device (every things turned off and still hot...).
Will see if it was that, cos battery stats are ok and battery usage apps arent showeing nothin suspicious...
Any suggestions? I was runnig the sam ROM and config for a longer time without problems...
Ther's another thing I forgot to say - when I'm tryeing to charge the phone while it's on it's not chargeing - the battery get's drained even faster! for egz. when it's 15% charged after 15mins under charger its 4%!!!
To know what's causing the Awake when screen is off, install Better Battery Stats and see under Wakelocks. Confirm if it is G+ or anything else.

Best thing would have to full charge it, and wait till its like 5% battery, then check the stats.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Will do that!
Will charge it durring the night and than will wait till it's nearly gone....
It got better i think - without 3G the drain is bearly there but with 3G on it's bad... It wasn't like that before...
Could it be that installing the google+ app it activated kinda sys updates or similar?

Hi oofol!
When you have installed google+ app, have you checked "instant upload"?
It could be the problem.
Yep, done that however I can't imagine it should suck off the battery that much!
FB is working ok
try juice defender
Allready installed
It seems that it was the fould of google+.........

The problem is that when you check this option, your mobile upload all your picture to Picasa and google's server.
At this moment if you're not connect in wifi....
Becareful for those who don't wanna be caught with their bills!
I know about that - and I did want that (I'v got a plan without data limits).
The drain was almost normal today.
However I'm now connected via USB to my laptop and I'm tethering. As I connected the phone it was arround 48% of juice and now it's falling... now its 8% and falling............
Why isn't it chargeing???
I cant understand that...
So, I think I solved the issue.
Yesterday I uninstalled (I was useing ist fo a couple of weeks without any problems...) BitDefender and the phone is chargeing on tethering and the battery life seems to be normal for now
Thanks ithehappy for the tip wit BBS it helped a lot

Something is killing my battery

The past few weeks I have been getting horrible battery use. I have a 5900 battery. I dont use my phone much. I have had the phone off the charger for 9 hours today and its at 62% now. It says screen has used 18% and android system has used 16%. I have only turned on the phone a couple times today to check my mail.
I thought maybe I had an app get updated and started using the GPS in the background. So I disabled the GPS for a couple days and it didnt have any affect on the battery usage. I went in to TB and disabled several apps that I saw running in the background like amazon.
I wiped my phone and re rooted it last week. That didnt help either. Im on NK2 4.4.4
Any help would be very much appreciated. Its driving me crazy. Ive tried everything I can think of.

Were you able to fix your problem? I went to verizion yesterday and the rep gave me the usual, "Oh, you have too many apps open, oh free up some space" which we all know isn't the problem.
But I did notice he disabled "Show CPU Usage" as suggested in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/rant-lollipop-piece-garbage-t3085468/page2
From this morning, my phone has only gone down 30% (it's usually dead by now) and it's not overheating. My guess was that disabling "Show CPU Usage" helped.
I believe the extended battery (Mugen) has gone bad. I have put the factory small battery back in it and im getting better life out of it than I am with the 5900 extended battery.

Another strange battery thread

Hey,
yes i know: another battery thread. But tbh i havn't seen a thread with a similar problem description so far. Im using a Note 3 SM-9005
After my Note3 got super slow with normal samsung rom, i decided to flash it and install LineageOS 14.X. It works amazing! Feelt like a super new phone to me. Just some problems with rotation but i could life with that. One year later my battery started to drain faster. But a while after that i could fully charge my phone, watch some YT videos (like 20min overall) and then the phone just goes off. Its super hot near camera (processor i guess?) after turning it on again it was at 1%. 1 Month ago i tried to finaly fix it by flashing to LineageOS 15.X (Android 8.1) but the problem is still the same. And now its not just videos, if the phone screen is on for more then 20min it will turn off (even if it says 50%)
But not enough.
- After shutting down automaticly, it start itself again and shutdown again and so on. Until i plugin a charger then it stops doing it (or if i remove the battery).
- If im just listining to music it works fine (no screen on time), but while listining music in freezes for 1 up to 3 seccends (on avg every 10s one "freeze")
- It can happen after 5min of usage after charging it to 100% or i can listin to music for over 70min, than can have it in my pocket for 9 hrs, can hear music again for 70min and it still works (all of that with less to none SOT)
I havnt tried so much tbh, cuz i always thought it is a battery problem. But the new battery I got 2 days ago still has the exact same problem. I've read something about save mode and I booted it in save mode and the phone didnt get hot (not even warm!) with 20min SOT browsing (had no time to test it more). But the only apps that I have installed are Spotify, Firefox, WhatsApp and the Blizzard Auth.
Now i tested using a calibrate battery app (my phone isnt rooted but the app said it worked) and now im charging it up to 100% again to test it. But I dont think it worked.
Anyone here with more ideas I could try?
One full wipe and install stock rom .
Charge battery and test over two weeks .
Calibration app NO thats fake it does not and cannot calibrate a battery ( see multiple posts )
Its just the usual battery question and a search answers your question .
How long have you been using that battery? Get a new battery and your problem is solved.
I had similar problems with battery charging to 100% and suddenly going down to 50% and suddenly switching off. Changed battery and all was well again.

I just bought a new battery. TBH it defenetly cant be a good one for that cheap price. But I just flashed back to Stock Rom. With the old battery same problem, but with the new one it works good so far. nearly all bugs that came up the last few month are gone. While setting it up, the phone got really hot (it had to work pritty hard i guess to update everything). This is why JJEgan mentioned to use it for atleast a week i guess.
But an important question: is it possible to flash back to a new version again after like a week? Or am i now forced to use this stone age version of Android. (I guess all samsung apps can be removed if i decied to root the phone)

Mi 9t drains battery under night

Hello, is this happened to everyone else? It just drained down to zero in just one night, any fix?
is This happened to you after charging your phone? This happened to me once, I was charging my phone and after reach 100% I unplugged this was on the night, 6 hours later in the morning I noticed battery was 4% this means 96% was eaten on that 6 hours. I was on a rush, so rebooted the phone and plugged to the charger again. Like I said this happened once. I'm not sure if some app/google service/service keep my phone woken all that 6 hours.
It happened to me also. Same as above comment

Same for me too, but my phone was fully drained.. Maybe a software update will fix it.
Happened to me before debloating my phone and while keeping the phone under a pillow.
Maybe a clash with the feature for detecting if you're using the phone to show the fingerprint icon on screen? I disabled that too now.
Happened to ne yesterday. Weird. Eea stable 10.3.12
it's pretty crazy. it happened to me 2 times. battery drains is insane, about 15mins I lost 8 to 15 percent!!!
first time I did everything I could to stop it but no luck, I decided to do a factory reset and it was fine for two weeks. the second time started yesterday, I even tried gsam battery and enabled the more stats using adb. all it could find were consuming the battery are :
1- kernel android os
2- system adsprpcd
I've tried these still no luck.
1- clear data :
play store
play services
google
2- disable dual sim 4g - note: I use one sim.
3- disabled all the apps in permissions>start in background
4- uninstalled about every apps I've installed
In my case I struggling with Google Play Services eating up my battery, I tried everything (xiaomi.eu rom, full restore, clear cache of Play Services etc...)
The issue it's still present even with updating the app with the newest versions. You could check you consumption to see what's using your battery

Not very healthy habit btw, better not to have the phone so close to your head all the time as battery consumption could be later your least problem.
Did your steps helped in that situation? As if pillow would be the culprit, some of the flip covers could cause the same.

I didn't have the issue since, but I don't recall leaving it under a pillow since either.
My entire phone setup is documented here so you can try uninstalling the crap I've uninstalled and the relevant settings for the FP scanner.
