Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has experienced an extremely fast battery drain? I have had excellent battery life and just today I was at 100% and within 3 hours I was at 15%. I was barely using it and while it was sitting on my desk I could watch the battery life dropping.
I have had the V20 since launch and have not had any issues until today.
Just curious if anyone else has ran into this and if anyone knows how to fix the problem?
Thanks
I have a H990DS. I'm not only seeing rapid battery drain, but also not able to do quick charging. I'm not sure if it's something to do with the last update.

I tried using my power bank earlier this afternoon, and the battery is draining faster than it's charging. Even with a quick charge power bank.

I have the exact same experience, fast drain, no fast charge. Resetted it without success. Does yours get a bit hot just below the camera lens as well?

I was thinking about the update being the culprit but, that was last week. I haven't had a problem until today
I just tried turning off my phone completely and let it charge. And it's charging very quickly.
I suspect Facebook and FB messenger is the culprit draining the battery. Could you guys try disabling it and see if there's any improvement?

The front facing screen? Yes it does.
I have tried taking the battery out and letting it sit for a few minutes before putting it back in and restarting, still slow on the charge. I even checked to make sure the contacts were clean as well as the charging port. No luck there either

I tried disabling them earlier and still no luck for me. I looked at the battery usage stats and FB is very minimal on mine. Its in the top spot but still very minimal. It seems like an internal problem on my end
Earlier, Facebook resulted in 31% of battery usage. And FB messenger 23%. After disabling FB and uninstalling FB messenger, "Android system" is responsible for 23% of battery usage.
I lost 40% of my battery overnight last night. Facebook and Facebook messenger look to be responsible.
I read somewhere that there was some bug reporting update in Facebook that's causing this. Amplify was suggested to stop the wake locks, but that app uses xposed, which I don't think we can do just yet... Anybody have a suggestion for stopping that short of uninstalling Facebook?
Same problem, H990DS, facebook & Mesenger top of battery list. Cannot fast charge this afternoon and phone is hot for no reason!

When I checked it this morning FB was only at 18% and then Android System was about 12-15%
Maybe try uninstalling FB and Messenger and reinstalling?
I reinstalled and I think it's a little better now. Going to monitor for another hour.
Thanks for the suggestion, I just uninstalled/reinstalled, I'll see how it looks over the next couple hours.

No problem hopefully it helps. Just post back with your findings
This was my battery drain this morning. Just nose dived for about 2.5 hours. I recharged it and seems to be stable now.
After reinstalling Facebook and messenger I've used 4% battery over the last hour or so with light usage, and both those apps are way down the list on consumption. Reinstalling looks to fix that up.

Thats great to hear. I did the same just in case. Still monitoring for a bit more
interesting this popped up as I updated Messenger last night and CPU usage was through the roof despite killing it... I downgraded to the previous version of Messenger and it was more manageable until this morning. I've always had FB installed, but not signed in so I signed in and CPU shot through the roof again with Messenger going haywire too. Despite restarting the phone these two kept misbehaving until I froze them both. I'm going to try re-installing those two after I update my device to 10i

I flashed my vibrant to bionix 1.3.1 a while back, pretty much a week after is was released. Its been great up to about 2-3 days ago. I had a full charge at work at today around 2 pm, I got home and checked the battery life at around 6 pm it was at 72%. I sent out about 4 texts lastnight. Got up this morning is was at 44%. I used to get about 2-3 days out of light use. It will probably be dead by 2 pm again today.
What gives?
Network data off -

Brightness is the lowest -
Idk maybe randomly reading it wrong? P.s. Why dont people charge their phones at night?!?!? Thats what I do
Oh i do as well usually. But like i said, the battery is starting to drop so fast that by lunch that day it was already at like 49%. By 2 pm is was full and so on. I just dont understand why its dropping so fast thats all.
Might have something to do with the battery
Check what's running in the background. The other night I was just using the phone normally and put it to sleep, checked it a few times and it was dropping 1% every 15 minutes or so. Noticed it kept checking into something. VVM and Market Checkin was running, killed it and it seemed to help. Also discovered (might not be true) that the New MAPS and GMAIL apps constantly check in and drain the battery after removing the updates phone seems to last longer/as it did before..:/
oo maybe that might be it. I Just updated a boat load of my apps a few days ago. P.s. how do you remove just the update?

those are just a few tips , if You didn't install anything that would change Your battery behavior TRY TO CHARGE YOUR PHONE IN WALL OUTLET INSTEAD OF COMUPUER USB ,also did You flash any updates to Bionix that got released because of so some of them contain update to modem so if previous bionix was on JL4 modem which is fast and battery savy new update might off reflashed your modem to newer one as fast as old but with worst battery . good luck i can give u million tips how to save juice , oh btw :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931351
also clean up Your battery stats in clockwork and recharge it with wall outlet Your battery might be recalibrated and when it shows 2% left u might have 10 really instead that's why clean battery stats and recharge.
or sadlly Your battery cant hold the juice anymore because it was recharged to zero few times too many , sorry
This is crazy. I just came to xda to post my bionix 1.3.1 battery problem. I been running it for a week and no issues. But this morning I took the phone off the charger and within 10 minutes of using it I was down to 85%. Usually after my morning usage I'd be around 93-95%. But that's not the issue I wanted to post.
I was trying to wait for Black Ice since Frost had the best battery life of any rom I've tried...just not feeling the Frost theme. So I started to download the Frost zip & got the phone on the charger.
Even after I put it back on the charger my battery life kept going down. Plugged it in at 85% and a few minutes later I noticed it was at 83%

if u updated ,find out which modem the previous rom u ran and reflash it to the modem u had before.

I have the same problem. I have system panel running all the time. When I sleep, the phone sleeps too and uses about 1% of battery per hour. But when im actually using the phone, even if the use is minimal like sending a few texts etc. The battery consumption is far greater than the use. Top apps in system panel monitoring is usually system process and system itself. How do I correct this issue?

I had a issue a while back. What I did to fix it is go with the standard rom. Then slowly I would put one or 2 apps back on. After a day or so I found out which one was to blame and got rid of it.

I agree with you also. These guys must have some super batteries to get that kind of life out of it. lol.
In the past week or so, I've noticed that my battery is draining unusually fast. I will take the phone to bed with me (I use it as an alarm clock) at 100% battery and I can wake up 7 hours later with it at 82%. When I look at my battery information, I see steady, solid drain over that time, with the biggest offender being Google Services. When I look in Wakelock Detector, I see the most usage (though seemingly not a ton) by Android System.
I found some tips on using Wakelock Terminator in Xposed to filter some things from Google Play Services from triggering wakelock, and I was optimistic, but it didn't seem to help.
Any advice?

Are you on a stock rom? Did you try greenify? It's on the play store. It kills the apps background services and the app itself until you start the app or the app is started by another app or service. Soon as the app os no longer needed it is turn back off. This program does not freeze apps it prevents them from running until needed.
Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned my rom and such. I'm running ForceROM, a relatively older version (maybe 2.3?), since I never felt the need to update.
I haven't tried Greenify. Haven't actually heard of that one before. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Try a custom kernel like KToonsez in addition to Greenify. It's amazing what you can end up doing with that kernel
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
ForceROM includes Ktoonsez kernel. For the last 8 months or so, I've had great battery life. This is a sudden and recent change, which I'm assuming to be caused by an update of some Google app (such as Play Services).
How do I use Greenify? Or do I just install it and it does magic?

Do you have auto-sync enabled? What Google Services do you have enabled for sync? I used to have a similar issue but turning off sync for things I don't use (like newsstand, etc) helped my battery life a lot.

I believe that installing Greenify might have done it. Battery usage looks much better today. I'll do a real test tonight when I get it charged to 100% before bed.
Well, I'll be...
I think that the problem is wifi. When I'm at home, I'm on wifi, and the battery is constantly draining. When I'm not at home, and on mobile data, the battery is well-behaved.
What's up with that?

Some apps can be setup to sync over WiFi only instead of 3G/4G data. but you have to check what apps would be the culprit. I know Google play, dropbox's picture upload feature can be set to download/upload/update over WiFi instead of data. But the only way to know is to see what apps connect over WiFi.
WiFi is suppose to give you better battery life since its signal is usually nearby and your phone doesn't have to use more power to find a better signal like it does with 3g/4g. I know for me it does since there are very few towers in the middle of the dessert.

No, I use Swiftkey.
So, interesting twist to this saga. Leaving wifi off takes away the solid blue bar on the battery screen, but I still see the same level of battery drain (about 18% overnight). Very intriguing.

Sounds like you're losing power to things syncing over wifi. Maybe try just giving it a week and watching it to see if it settles down. Google play sometimes settles down on its own. I also vote to check out greenify. With the donation package you can work wonders at calming down power hungry apps, even system apps.

My situation has suddenly taken a turn for the much worse. I don't know what's going on. I haven't added anything new or changed any settings since installing Greenify a while back. Now, the battery is just tanking. I got up to 100%, ran Battery Calibration and now, about 2.5 hours later, I'm at 82%. Could this just be a problem with the battery itself? Do I need to replace it?

Honestly there are a few days where the battery life suddenly drops dramatically. I've experienced this on unrooted mf9, mk2, and nae. Give it some time and see if battery life comes back up. You can reboot the phone to kill a rouge app that might be the cause.

This is the first I've heard the term MJA, so I don't think I'm on that.
There definitely do seem to be days where battery is worse than others. And I do typically try to reboot when I see it acting too squirrelly. I'll just keep keeping an eye on it. Weird-ass phone...
Hey Guys,
I have a nexus 6p the 64 gb version ,and its one of the greatest phones I have ever owned. Everything about it is great, unfortunately the past couple of weeks my phone battery started to drain extremely fast. My phone now doesn’t last a full day and it constantly overheats. I’m a very heavy user, I almost do anything electronically on my phone, but before the battery drain my phone didn’t overheat nor its battery drained that fast.
There is no apparent reason why this is happening, I did not change my frequency or intensity using my phone. But I think there is possible reasons:
-Google latest update
- Charging my phone BRIEFLY with a non-certified type C cable (I didn’t know there was an issue with those cable before)
- A certain application that runs in the background (phone is always warm and when on usually overheats even if just browsing)
One of the great things I admired about my Nexus was its long lasting battery life and rapid charging. I’m really disappointed, I really liked this phone and wanted to last. Please if anybody faced the same issue or have any suggestions, solutions etc, please share. I have attached a report showing my battery use.
Thanks Aalot
**my phone is not rooted or anything it’s just plain stock android
The first thing I would have pointed out, is a custom kernel, tweaked inappropriately. But you ruled that out.
Now since your device is not rooted, there are not much ways to track the drain. I certainly believe that, there is a specific app that is causing the drain.
First of all, thanks for your response.
A small percentage of the battery is consumed by apps the rest is for the screen

I just got mine last Thursday and I'm also a little disappointed with the battery life. When I set up the phone, there were 3 or 4 google updates and the phone only lasted for less than 8 hours. I'm thinking it's due to the whole set up process.
I did a hard reset due to missing wifi passwords and I'm currently monitoring the battery drain.
Coming from OnePlus One, the battery life on this is really disappointing. But then again, I always have my anker battery charger with me. I'm hoping once the apps settle, battery life should improve.

Go to Settings >Battery and see what is causing it. It may be an app that you updated. Try wiping cache or uninstall/install the updated app. If still draining, you may have to factory reset from boot and install apps one at a time instead of restoring backup.

Same here. Tired of this sutuation already, sometimes it works properly 1-2 % even 0 on morning, but sometimes it loses 10-15 %, I didn't install any new applications in monthes, it just started.
And here we are again: out of the blue, with no new apps installed, my phone started discharging by 1% or more per hour at night, while before I was getting a 3% in 8 hours.
Any tool to figure out what the culprit is?
I am rooted.
Thanks
install betterbaterystats or anything that can read wakelocks and alarms and check what's going on
Do you use Facebook app? If so delete it and you'll be back to 3% Over night. Haha. No but BBS is a great app like person says above my post. This can also be caused by your carrier maybe doing work on nearby towers giving you a not so good signal.. More than likely it's a rogue app or apps and if not then maybe it is signal... There's a VERY helpful thread on XDA for BBS. You can search and pull up just about anything there. A quick Google search will reveal it's location. Good luck. I'm sure you'll get it back down to 3%. That's exactly what I cleared when I woke this morning...

Are you running the stock ROM?
BBS or GSam. FB Messenger was fixed when they found the issue server side. What is your battery capacity (Accubattery)?
Stock rom, system less root but no changes and no custom kernel: need root only to use pixel launcher and flashfire.
No FB is not at all the problem. And nothing has really changed from a few days ago, just a few updates from plastered.
Capacity is being measured

It may take a few long charges ( from below 20%) to get an accurate capacity reading, but if it comes back with above 90%, you have likely ruled out the battery itself. BBS is from an XDA Dev and they offer help on deciphering the logfiles if nothing is obvious in the app's dedicated thread. Let it run overnight and don't use the phone for at least 6-8 hours, and then generate a log file in the morning when you first pick the phone up.
Maybe it's due to an update for Google Play Services? Just a guess...
AccuBattery says actual capacity is 3,290 vs the original 3,450

95.4% = problem is not with your battery, so you are back to wakelocks and drain hunting.
Guess what, problem disappeared out of the blue... ?
Aware of the current discussion around the LTE drain issues with the Exynos version of the phone. Yesterday I did a full 24 hours off charge on exclusively mobile data and lost around 65% for 80 minutes SOT.
Before taking it back to Samsung I wanted to confirm that there wasn't anything else causing the drain . I'm no expert with battery historian but I can't highlight the causes beyond the following:
Screen off uptime: 3hrs 27 mins
Kernel Wakelocks: 5hrs 32 mins
CPU Usage: 2:32 of user time vs 5:14 of 'system time'
Kernel Overhead 1:45
"999:MAILBOX_CP2AP" - I suspect this is linked to outlook but can't be sure, causing 150 wakelocks an hour
"Abort:Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected" - No idea what this is
Would anyone be able to provide any more information or assistance in analysing the chart?
Thanks in advance
Try to change outlook. My experience is that outlook was making battery drain crazy, remove it and got other phone.

Have you tried these tests from a fresh install with no other apps installed? Have you tried this in airplane mode also.?
What was the test results using just wifi?

Haven't and wont have an opportunity to do a fresh install for a while, need to do a day on wifi to compare the results.
I did spend a bit of time on wifi and adaptive power saving and it all but wiped out the "999" wakelock (I think this is because the system more aggressively bins the wakelocks "
Will also try safe mode/ removing outlook to see what happens
I'm having the exactly same issue of yours! 999:MAILBOX_CP2AP is appearing crazily! Do you found any solution yet? My phone don't have outlook installed, but the wakelock still going on crazily.. It seems only appearing actively during mobile data is turned on.
My battery has been doing great for me using LTE all day

I'm glad it's not just me! There is nothing on the internet about it either.
Will try staying in safe mode when I have the time

What outlook are you using? Is this the outlook from the play store or is it corporate setup outlook mail using some sort of exchange servers for synching?
I have since my note 9 disabled the stock Samsung email app and use only outlook. Since the stock email app for me was causing drain.

Strange. That's the only app I use for multiple email accounts that seems to be less resource hungry. I still have gmail all though.

I deleted outlook and the wakelock persisted, so it's not that, but I don't have another mail app so very confused.
The 999:mailbox wakelock still appears when on wifi but its negligible compared to when on LTE

Googling that process didnt yield much success.
I use accubattery pro and gsam. I tried to locate and install battery historian but couldn't find it. Maybe its for exynos only that app?

Unfortunately GSam and better battery stats currently don't work on exynos, I have accubattery but it doesn't offer much beyond basic battery stats
Battery historian uses the bug report that you can produce in developer options

Hmm I tried safe mode, even hard reset OS by sending to service center for them to do that for me, still same.
Although my battery life doesn't consider that awful but not satisfying. I started to doubt whether it's some hardware related issue.

And the wakelock persisted throughout? It might be nothing but the only difference I can see between wifi vs LTE
It's so good for battery on wifi but middling when on mobile data

Over a 50% battery usage period I get approx one or so less hours sot using LTE. If that makes sense. View attachment 4768566View attachment 4768567

I'm Exynos, dual SIM, I am an area manager and phone is my main work tool doing audits on them all say. Both Sims work overtime as I'm mobile all day in remote areas, the screen is an auto as I work outside and need full brightness and I use WQHD. Only thing i turn off is aod and I've done the stuff in the battery optimisation thread
I charge in the evening and get 24 hours on the battery , average is 7 hrs sot and 2 hours talk time
This is perfect for me
