From past few weeks my N4 is discharging very quickly even when their no apps running background . If i don't use it for say 10 mins 5% of battery would have reduced . I haven't rooted it or done any modification ,its running on stock android .4.2.2 . I have tried factory reset still the same . I think its battery problem .

Could be but more often then not, its an app(s) causing the problem.

You may have a defective battery. My first Nexus 4 was like that.
But just to be safe, download Better Battery Stats and see if it reports any significant wakelocks.

When i checked in battery menu it shows that Maps is consuming 29-34% sometimes of the battery when i stop the app after sometime "Maps" app gets reactivated automatically . I think this is one of the reason .
I had enable backup up data to my gmail account . I have heard it could also be one of the factors why battery drains out quickly . Did LG replaced ur N4 first time when it had defective battery ?
install betterbatterystats, and read the FAQ on the xda thread. It´s full of tips on pinpointing battery drain.
You will see for example which apps are causing partial wakelocks or kernel wakelocks, and hence not allowing the phone to go into deep sleep ' which is where the battery is as close as possible to at rest.
Social apps tend to be configured default to be always on, with positioning etc, so go carefully through their settings.
The thing about Maps, sounds like you have either an app or a setting that is using location intensively (though the app itself should really appear). The way Android works, is that system apps like Maps will always restart, there is no way to kill them definitively. So you need to work out why it´s so active.
In short, install betterbatterystats and read that thread a bit, it´ll definitely help.

I can't comment on Gmail sync causing battery drain because I don't use Gmail.
Try to disable Latitude and see if that helps. Latitude, if you didn't know, is a Maps service that tracks your location constantly, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for your phone to be losing battery life like crazy if it's having trouble getting a GPS fix. Go to your Google account sync settings, choose Maps & Latitude, and then deactivate everything related to location reporting.
If that doesn't help, well, the surest fix I can think of is to disable Maps. Go to Settings > Apps, bring up Maps, and choose Disable.
My Nexus 4 was still within the 14-day return period, so Google replaced it.
Hi there ..
I have the note 4 N910c since 3 months now .. battery life is horrible .. I barely get 3-4 hours screen on .. when I use data network (3G) I can't get through the day until a second recharge ..
even after updating to Lolipop 5.0.1 .. at first little improvment then awful battery again ..
I uninstalled facebook, messanger, and some aps that work in back ground .. always disapleing location .. Auto Brightness ..
so, what should I do??
Same issue. N910C. Lollipop. I used Battery Doctor and found these apps running and consuming a lot of power.
Have you tried a factory reset already?
Try this

As i can see your phone has many wakelocks, i recommend a factory reset.
Thanks! Factory reset didn't stop the apps from running. I'm sure they are there for a reason, but they are consuming so much?!
Any ideas?
Hey guys,
I've been having an S6 Edge+ for a couple of days already but there seems to be an issue with the ROM. I'm getting a lot of battery drain from the "Android OS" and I'm losing up to 5% - 7% per hour in standby.... I have even re-flashed the entire ROM and factory reset two times... still the same.
I've disabled Google's Location History and Google Now but this did not help...
My previous Galaxy S6 was also running the latest ROM but there were no such problems...
Has anybody else experienced such an issue and do you have any ideas?

Check if any sync is stuck in loop, sometimes this kills battery very easily. If all else fails check with some app like GSam.

Unfortunately GSam does not produce too detailed information without Root access and it only says Android System and lists all the services that are under it...
The interesting part is that after several re-flashes with the same firmware, the wakelock disappeared...
Now I get 76% to 80% deep sleep...
Go figure... Probably some stuck sync as you mentioned...

Android OS Wakelock killing the battery! ...... solved
OK, im not too savvy with settings and systems, just sharing what i have been through. I too had a major battery drain problem on my S6 Edge+ , giving me abt 8-10hrs of use after a full charge. Even during the nights with everything off and power saving enabled i would lose abt 50-60% battery over 8 hours. ..... caused by Android OS ....... it would keep the screen awake for hours even with the screen off .... ( dont know how that worked) ..... tried a factory reset but didnt help. Then rooted the phone and downloaded wakelock detector and installed it as a system app. Installed greenify and doze ..... last night lost 4% over 11hours with wifi and 4g off and power saving enabled which is a drastic improvement. Facing one little problem that images do not get downloaded (automatically or manually) in whatsapp with wifi in use. Will use the cell for a few days and post again abt how the battery is holding up and if there is any other performance issues.
If you want to save battery, try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
It show all RAM usage of each app, you can disable any app in Bloatware (samsung default app) list to save power
This app run WITHOUT ROOT
I have A G935FD and when I first bought it. it was a bit laggy but much less than now. The battery lasted like 6h sot (8 months ago, fast charged it only once and it mostly started happening after that, also kept it next to a fan while doing that it's next to a fan while charging all the time since I already have one on my desk anyway).
When I'm outside even when I'm not doing anything special (Just talking to a friend on discord, Checking Instagram, reading an article on Google chrome) it gets very very very hot! it happens more in my grand mother's house for some reason. even though it still has full antenna there!
The battery life now is like 3.5H 3H 4H!
I'm currently downloading the Indonesia Firmware! maybe re flashing it with ODIN will help. mine was actually another but I guess since it was released later it's a bit better?!
can anyone help me?! any suggestions c:
Display drained 16%
Android System drained 12%
Idle is 9%
cell standby is 7%
android os is 7%
chrome 5%
Googleplay services 3%
instagram 3%
AnyConnect 3%
Disocr and wifi 1%
and that's most of them

Maybe I should try a custom rom? I rather use stock android but whatever you suggest! I rather only do it if necessary since it still has warranty and stuff!
First go into recovery mode , do a wipe cache and factory reset , if that doesnt solve the issue , flash the original stock firmware through odin , i would not recommend flashing a custom rom as your phone is under warranty. If after flashing , problems still persist , then for the lagness and heating i can't say , it may be a hardware problem , but for the battery you can do a calibration , turn off fast charging , and never use it , first your battery should be at 3% or 4% , enter this code in dailer *#0228# , when you enter this you will see a info page but dont touch or tap anything especially that quickstart option ... dont try to touch that. just press back button and exit the menu, now drain your battery till phone doesnt turn on , then go in download mode , and let the phone be in download mode till it is dead again , now the battery is completely drained , now put the phone on charge and dont touch it until it is 100% and green light shows, it should improve battery , but if that doesnt improve anything and lagness/heat is still there , then you should go to samsung service centre and claim warranty if anything is faulty, btw my current SOT time is 6 to 7 hours , i dont experience heatness issue in normal use , and there is not that much of lagness that would annoy me. Good luck to you.

Draining my battery to 0 sounds scary since i know li-ion batteries but I guess I'll give it a try. I don't think the warranty will be useful but I'll try anyway c: Thanks a lot! <3
I'll update this further in case anyone's wondering but I flashed the newest firmware with odin and didn't use the Home_csc. But I want to say already everything feels smoother. But battery will take a bit to judge. It's still at 80% but I removed it from my fake wireless charger and moved it to wired (not fast though) to speed up things and let it cool down slightly (I should add a manual fan to it ) and i'll update here c:
Thanks for yourhelp!
Always do a factory reset and wipe cache after flashing a new firmware , also dont use fake chargers as they may also cause these heating ptoblems , well i also suffer heating issue when using tethering while charging , have you tried using any temp monitoring software to know how hot it gets ?

32 degree while wireless cahging while using the phone it gets up to 37 and 38
the odin re flash did help a little. but my battery life is 4H sot. Didn't heat up much though.

Wow bro your phone is even cool than mine :laugh:
Anyways do a battery calibration as i posted earlier , doing this one time in a month won't harm your battery lifespan
Without calibration it actually got 5-5:30 battery life to absolute 0%. recalibration actually made it a bit worse but I guess I'm ok with that! it's not as bad as 3-4h now and I can use it without having to recharge it in middle of the day.
and also life advice:
if you disable fast charging it gets MUUUCH cooler my case (fake samsung charger that supports it, wireless ofc) and put a small 80mm pc fan next to it and I bet you it won't go higher than 27 degrees on any condition
disable fast charging
Hi,
My Samsung S8 since last upgrade to Oreo was a complete disaster. Just to be clear battery life during Android Nougat was good and it was the first thing ive noticed that samsung completely stepped up their game since their battery disaster on their certain phone model. Battery life would run at least from a day to 2 before recharging. Ive noticed there are other threads similar to these so i knew im not the only one affected, my colleagues also experience similar issues since upgrading to oreo so this is not something isolated to my s8 phone.
Few key points that ive noticed since upgrading to oreo:
1. Going to settings then battery usage. Screen would be the foremost battery hog at 26%, followed by Android System at 13%, then Device Idle at 9-8%. Cell Standby and Android OS remains normal.
2. Go to Settings then App. Ive noticed by checking each one of the apps that beaming services, device maintenance, settings, gear vr services were among the ones that took up most of the battery usage this is excluding system apps like AASAservice, etc.
3. Go to settings then data usage. The Android OS is sending or receiving 100MB of data (still counting). I wanted to know what are these data that is worth 100MB.
4. Device easily gets hot even light use of facebook, ig or 7 minutes of youtube video.
5. It sometimes restart, this is rare but ive noticed it since fingerprint cannot be used initially when there's a restart.
Now what ive done so far:
1. Cleared partition cache by holding bixby btn, volume up and power.
2. Disabling unused apps, even certain bixby services, etc.
3. Went to developer option and disable always on mobile data.
4. Factory reset device hoping it would go back to nougat but it did not. With a mint condition reset, it still drain too much battery. (without any third part apps or data restore)
5. Called up samsung customer service but was told to go to service center. Went to service center they check the ASOC of battery (which i think is unrelated) and according to them reprogram oreo. which did not help. wasted my time.
Now what is the implication?
1. I need to charge my phone at LEAST twice a day.
2. It heats up the phone which would definitely have negative impact on the longevity of this device one way or another.
3. It drains too much battery, with the amount of charge discharge multiplied at least by 2, this will literally messed up the battery life in the long run.
4. Im currently using 2 phones and my samsung s5 which is a 4 year old phone had better battery life. lol. Since in just 3 hours it consume almost 40% of battery.
There are tons of related post like these on different forums and on reddit but i surmise i should dig more on this problem before writing a more concrete post. At this point, i can only see 2 remaining options: 1. There is a step online that would revert the OS back to nougat but this would involved third party apps like odin, there are risk involved like phone brick, etc. Im not sure if it will void the warranty. OR i can just wait for a patch from samsung.
Now SAMSUNG NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP or provide us a way to revert back to nougat. With the s9 just available at the market, this terrible oreo release could not come at better time. I know there are several issues like the battery issues with their previous note model and Apples intentionally slowing down their phone, Samsung got to fix this fast before this issue becomes a blowout and many people will start to notice.
There are several threads about this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/to-to-fix-battery-drainoreo-t3771716

What security patch do you have and what can you see under "Baseband"? Everything will be fine with latest March security Patch and CRC7 Baseband. Just be patient, if you do not have it, yet.

Man, i´m totaly on same boat!
In CRC7, i'm experiencing terrible battery life. Max 2.00 to 2.30 Screen on time in one charge. Now, for the first time, i have to recharge my phone befoure dinner.
Wifi , Bluetooth, Aod On, location history Off.
It´s the worst experience on any phone that i had in the past.
Like you, already disabled some apps, clear cache and already done a fresh install. Nothing works, nothing improved my battery.
I´m thinking send it to warranty, but it´s probaly not worth the time...
Maybe it´s time to forget about Samsung phone and move on. P20, or even iPhone X...
After updating to OREO and updating all galaxy apps, "beaming service" was draining my battery (67% of the battery actually). After uninstalling the updates on beaming service, the phone seems fine now. Maybe uninstalling the updates of which apps are draining the battery could help you guys as well.

ive tried that before but after fresh install. beaming service could no longer be disabled, nor its updates uninstalled.
Besides other apps are also draining battery like AASAservice, settings, device maintenance, etc.

You're right, that can't be disabled but I was simply able to uninstall the updates by clicking three dots top-right corner of app info screen. I've the latest version CRC7 on the phone by the way.
Hello !
I've been s8 for three months and I've never had any particular problems, I've upgraded to CRC7 (second update of Oreo) and I've already got twice the phone with a flat battery:
last week in the morning I found it at 1% from 35% the night before (during the night only the gsm network was active, everything else off); when in doubt I did a factory data reset by installing only minimal applications (FB, whatsup and little else) and I installed the Accubattery application to monitor the battery.
Last night put away (active gsm only) at 65% of residual charge and this morning after 10 hours it was 5%: 60% of charge consumed in one night.
Android does not report any abnormal consumption of any application .... it seems an anomalous battery drain
I enclose battery data screenshots; is not that the new Oreo update is buggy? or could the battery or the phone power circuit or the radio part that consume excessively might have a problem? Before bringing it to service I wanted your opinion and in case I wanted to try to put back the CRB7 version of Oreo .... how do I do it? do I lose the guarantee in this case?

I have the exact same problem as you and many others. I have tried various things to solve it and I concluded on that the modem firmware has a serious bug . airplane mode consumes more battery than on cellular. To make sure we are talking about the same thing please try removing your SIM card and let it all night . By the morning you have to be -2% of the battery . With the SIM inside now you have to drain 15-20% . If thats the case for you , you make sure that its not a faulty device and there is no drain from your setup (like an application draining etc .. in this case factory reset should fix it).
Cinfirm your findings and lets hope they will release update soon.

It drains in general but while in cellular it's difficult to distinguish if it's a bug or bad signal . Each ones phone may consume different amounts of energy depending on coverage etc. But in airplane mode you can be sure it's a bug because antenna transmission should be off and therefore not consuming energy . Just try as I said just to be sure we have the same issue . One night with airplane mode and SIM card in and another night airplane without SIM. You should see great difference .

Tonight ( gsm on ) have no drain : 0,3 % / h. ( 3 % in 10 hours ).
if it is faulty the battery should always do it?
Did you try to see if it drains, leaving the radio part active?

This will not help determine the bug because as I told you it's signal dependant. It's 3% in 10 hours because you probably had good signal . Else it could be more and even if you contact a service they will say it's not a bug but the signal . Anyway if you were with data on and 4g seems more than fine to me . Now if you try this night airplane mode for 10 hours it could drop 15-20% ... is this reasonable ?

in airplane mode is a bug, but a 60% night-time consumption with active gsm?

Your case seems more like a random application wakelock . Did you do a reboot between the 2 nights?
To distinguish better the cause of the drain , when you see an abnormal consumption try removing your SIM card for a while . If this fix the drain it's the buggy modem/radio firmware ...
