Much better battery life on 6.0 than Nougat, why? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys. So recently, i've got an S5 (G900F). As soon as i get it, I installed LineageOS 14.1, the latest in order to have Nougat on my device.
The problem was that the device couldnt switch on Doze (or smth like this, i dont know), and the standby battery time is very bad, it discharges 1-2-3% / h standby.
I though that my battery was the problem so i've got a fresh, brand new S5 Battery for a fortune, and guess what? Its the same!
So i decided to install RR Nougat, and it's exactly the same. My last tough was to install an RR MM to the devie, and guess again what! The battery life is amazing, it basically stays the same % in standby.
Why do this bug has in Nougat, and how can I fix this?
Thanks!

Install the Boeffla-Kernel. Battery life with LineageOS and that kernel is much better than MM with stock.

Thanks. I did install the kernel, but right now I'm using RR Nougat. When I installed that kernel I haven't spot any difference with battery. What's​ your settings in that kernel?
I might consider installing LOS back.

Got stock MM now, and overnight with BT on I see no difference compared to LOS with Boeffla with the battery friendly preset. Haven't compared if one is more battery friendly during daily use.
Going back to LOS as the latest MM update from Samsung doesn't have the mobile ID banking apk which isn't available on at Play. Samsung sucks!

On stock MM, how much does your battery drained during night? (And compared to LOS)

Okay. Right now I'm using RR M, and 2% loss after 2 hours. This is embarrassing. What is your boeffla config in LOS? I'll install back that ROM.

Embarrassed too! Thought I restored LOS, but then I saw Magisk was installed, and that didn't add up... Was RR I had, but couldn't get root for the Boeffla app, so I installed the latest LOS nightly, and it's awesome. Got the flat line this night with BT connected too! Haven't installed Boeffla yet.

Strange. Can you send me a screen shot from the battery usage?

My s5 is broken recently, i was using LOS and i noticed that battery is poor. Now, i'm using galaxy a3 16 with stock rom MM, 2100mh of battery, the battery is amazing than galaxy s5 LOS with 2800mh of battery.

hey guys, try to get latest baseband and bootloader for your devices. I've updated mine and tons of problems were solved (I've never suspected this would be the problem doe)

Okay. Tell me a ROM that:
- Doesnt lag
- Have a great battery life
I assume every rom that is Nougat based are excluded from this list.

Never thought about how doze worked in Boeffla, or understood, but it might be that unchecking it does that no apps are dozing, but checked only those that are white listed native in the battery settings are not. Right?

Honestly, i dont know. I'm crying back those days when my Galaxy J5 drained 0% overnight (CM12.1). Its a shame for Nougat (and probably MM too).

lollipop is the best of them all: I'm using S3 with archidroid 5.1.1 and it doubled my battery life (i kid you not!). I've tried RR MM and Nougat and it too but battery life was way way worse, in general 6 and 7 are worse OS-es than KK...
so to conclude, I'm getting S5 on Saturday and will install most optimized lollipop on it judging by my and you experience on other OS-es here

I use Temasek as my rom with greenify, amplify, kernel audiotor , appopsxposed and tasker.
On custom kernel Clarity r26 (permissive)
My brightness is set to 12 when I am indoor or after 5 pm. From 10 am to 5 pm I have automated brightness to 15 when outdoor.
Once my screen goes off wifi or data is turned off. My phone goes to Airplane mode from 12 am to 7 am. Once I am home wifi is turned on and data service is disabled.
I am sure most around here knows how to use amplify and greenify so I wont go about explaining the same.
With appopsxposed I have disabled all the location permissions of all the apps including play services except tasker as I dont use them.
In the next post I will post my kernel settings. I have tried and tested this multiple times and the results have been more or less same.

OMG are you serious ? This works on a depleted battery as well ? You can get 10 hours of SOT with a newer battery. And use Kernel audiutor and make sure you are using clarity r26 with permissive.

To ensure you dont drop much while device not in use ... You should use amplify and greenify all apps that you have installed. Kill Google play service and ensure the apps you greenify are not waking up.

Battery drain issues

The only working solution for now: flash Lollipop. It's not perfect but it heats and drains battery much less than Marshmallow.
I'm creating this thread so that we can discuss battery life issues and look for a solution.
There is a popular thread on this topic but it is marked as solved, and while the original poster's issue has been solved there are many others that remain.
For some people the issue was solved when rootkernel was updated to fix some bug. But that was a long time ago, and some bugs are obviously present even in the latest kernels rooted with the latest rootkernel versions. It's still unclear if the issue is present on non-rooted kernels.
I will create a poll, please consider answering it to help clear the issue.
By the way, has anyone encountered any issues on 5.1, or is it just a Marshmallow issue?
Partial solution: I installed OM5Z kernel and it has significantly improved battery life on Marshmallow.
While it's still much worse than what you would expect from a Sony compact, it's not awful anymore. The phone can go a day (no heavy usage) without charging now.
Stock or Xpower 4 ,rooted or not dosnt metter - i have a drain every night(8-9 h of sleep) about 5-7% in airplane mode.Try BBS and WD now but seems phone sleep good.Think i lost about 15-20% at 24 hours
On Xpower 4 lite as is...with andro kernel v36 same issue.And i dont have any other soft. Goggle sync and other garbage is off.
Dont now where is may be problem.

Try Xpower3, it looks like X4 got more problem. I'm running v3.0 Full(stock kernel), when I set it to airplane mode over night only drain 1~2% everytime but I've installed greenify donated and used xposed amplify.
For anyone reading this thread, are there any other things people can note about their setup?
Country? Carrier?
If you are having issues, what apps do you use? Do you have a microSD card and if so, what brand/model?
If you are not having issues, same question about apps and microSD card.
I have seen on my phone the higher Android OS CPU usage which is of course the black hole of power drain for many people. I still need to do more scientific testing of usaging or avoiding apps to see if anything is triggering the drain.
T-Mobile US customer here, typically on Wifi at work/home also with T-Mobile cellspot for signal strengh. Standard apps for messaging and social media including Snapchat (bad app for power usage) but avoiding Facebook for now. Google Now Launcher.
Stock firmware, rooted stock kernel, don't have issues
1) Z5 was incredibly hot out of the box
2) Wiping the system, rooting the kernel etc. fixed this but gave me awful battery life
3) Installing the modded kernel then fixed the battery life (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/9-battery-drain-overnight-97-deep-sleep-t3382145)
I can stretch it to 3 days with light use, a day of heavy use can put me back 50-60%
I'm from the UK with the UK unbranded official ROM.

I have also recently upgraded from Z3C to Z5C with stock Singapore Customized FW, but I live in France (ordered from eBay).
Weird thing is that during the day it loses may be 30-40% in 6 hours, but every evening after I come back from work, phone overheats with battery up to 50 degrees and drains 30% in 1 hour...
In stats, it shows Android OS using most of battery and keep awake being 80% of up time...
I had same issue on Z3C with last 6.0.1 MM.
During the night I usually lose 5-10%.
Any advice?

The problem is that I have E5803, and not E5823...
Will the HK FW work on it? It's only for E5823 I think (according to Xperifirm)
Also, what exactly should I do - I should wipe everything when installing using Flashtool right?
Should I also do reset after installation?
Can I restore my backup or you would recommend to make a clean install of the apps as well?
I don't want to lose data of apps.

Before reflash or do someting try to use clean frimware without your usually apps.Do factory reset.Dont forget to make backup of your current state phone i f you need.
I think problem exactly in your apps.
I have issue with night drain and i try HK frimware on my 5823 and i dont feel any difference.

Okay, now that I have gathered some statistics I take back my words about significantly improved battery life. It's slightly improved and still awful.
I'm using stock fw, but have deleted about 60-70 apps I don't have any use for. I also use OM5Z kernel. I experience no drain what I know of, usually have about 3 days with normal use.
The only issue I experienced is that the phone totally crashed a couple of times. I can't wake it up at all, and it doesn't take any charge (LED doesn't lid up). I have to use the reset button to reboot it. But so far, it's a small issue

GREATEST battery life on Android O beta

I just wanted to put this out there. I have O beta installed with latest update, no root, bootloader locked, DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn, greenify (whatever it can do without root and jumping through adb hoops), stock launcher and I have never ever ever had such a great standby battery life. In EX kernel managers battery monitor, I see < 1 % per hour screen off battery drain consistently where I have not been able to go below 2.2% with any, (I say any and I have tried all) rom+kernel combination on 7.1.x.
This is GREAT!! I have never been happier with any stock rom ever.
EDIT: I would like to add that I have LG Urbane watch connected with phone all the time so bluetooth is on all the time but I bluetooth scanning is disabled (in location improvement, wifi scanning is still on). Battery optimizations for android wear is disabled.

Is it possible you can take a screenshot of your battery stats from settings so some of us that like visuals can see? What is your screen on time like?
That's interesting, cause my battery life and performance have both dropped significantly for me on O compared to Nougat
It's worse on O, though pretty great for beta. I've got up to 5h of SOT.

Best ever is 7h on PN and Frank kernel.
Stock usually 5h so the O isn't too far off. Maybe very slightly for me. It can only improve from here I think.

7h is unheard of. were you on battery saver mode the entire time?
I can get over 6h on a fully stock pixel, locked bootloader and all. I would say the majority of my time is on wifi. O beta seems to work well but my understanding from a community post by Google, don't have the link anymore, is you need beta Google play services installed as well to get O's battery benefits. I can't say that it makes more of a difference for me in comparison to avoiding notorious apps which hinder performance. I had similar battery life on N.

fyi: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/6djbbf/for_those_on_o_beta_you_must_also_be_on_the_g/
My battery life on O was horrendous. We're talking night and day. I run stock with not more than 20 or so apps. Something is really really wrong with O. I've gone back and forth on the beta twice with the same results.
I use the beta ROM about one week and it is very very good , also battery very good

I'm getting really nice batterylife with 8.0, which is awesome. It is now more in line with my average battery life with other devices like the HTC 10 and such. This however is fine to me as long as it's not dying by 1-2PM for me haha

If you can, please gives us a little bit more about your setup meaning if you have root, kernel managers, aggressive doze app (greenify, naptime, etc), limiting background services etc

I am completely stock, just updated today. I turned off background operation using the battery manager built in to Android to limit apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, Chrooma Keyboard, etc.
For my usage my phone wouldn't last very long. I would probably hit 50% with an hour of screen on time. Now I'm at an hour and 54 minutes with 54% left. I've been off the charger since around 11AM, and it's currently 4PM so I'm definitely gonna have to see where it goes from here. When I leave work the real concern is heat when playing music or podcasts over Bluetooth, for whatever reason my phone was getting really hot when I used Bluetooth so I'll see how that is when I leave work today.

I just wanted to put this out there. I have O beta installed with latest update, no root, bootloader locked, DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn, greenify (whatever it can do without root and jumping through adb hoops), stock launcher and I have never ever ever had such a great standby battery life. In EX kernel managers battery monitor, I see < 1 % per hour screen off battery drain consistently where I have not been able to go below 2.2% with any, (I say any and I have tried all) rom+kernel combination on 7.1.x.
This is GREAT!! I have never been happier with any stock rom ever.
EDIT: I would like to add that I have LG Urbane watch connected with phone all the time so bluetooth is on all the time but I bluetooth scanning is disabled (in location improvement, wifi scanning is still on). Battery optimizations for android wear is disabled.

Is DNS66 same as DNS Changer? Also, how did you get it to block ads?

No it is called dns66. Install the app and it will walk you through it.

"DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn"....slightly confused by this..did you mean that you get privacy features like other VPN providers? AFAIK as I know DNS66 is only a local VPN and does not provide security/privacy features

Ridiculous battery life - dropping rapidly when not in airplane mode

Hi,
Phone is running stock firmware and not rooted.
Im thinking its the phone and not software related as issue seemed to being happening out of no where after the phone for the last 9 months had been superb for battery life considering usage it gets.
Originally thought it could have been an app update that caused it so uninstalled all previously installed and updated apps but same issue keeps happening with rapid battery drop off. Next course of action was to format phone and start from scratch with nothing installed and only my gmail account added. The same issue with battery rapidly dropping when not in airplane mode. Issue is shown in screen captures below with phone basically stock and no apps installed.
First 2 images show a day where I was working and had phone in and out of Airplane mode which shows the graduall drop off of power but then the drastic vertical drop was when I put phone back into service.

images 3+4 show battery life over 19hrs where phone had to be charged twice due to battery drain.
Can anyone shed some light on this? is my battery fried?
On another note should this need to be sent back under warranty it was originally bought direct from Amazon spain - would it be ZTE UK I contact and if so whats the best way to do this?
Thanks for looking....
It seems some of us has this issue. It might be software like the modem! Since it drains so fast from a weak signal. I really hope there's a fix. I hope oreo fixes this too

Although if you look at my first screen capture even at times when the phone has strong signal there is severe drop off of power. Has there be any mention of ZTE replacing batterys under warranty?
I was telling on XDA that b08 is worst ROM ever. More people have this issue, its software related. Not hardware of any kind. Cant recall what is the name of android battery saving function. Snooze or something. It doesn't work at all. I managed to improve battery life by uninstalling some apps that maybe drain battery. But my phone can't manage to stay alive for more then 8 hours moderate usage. Same thing goes for mic echo issue. That is not user fault. Same goes here with German b08 ROM. I personally thing that German group is more like copy paste type of developers then actual European support.
For me best ROM so far in terms of battery life was MM B06
Whats most irritating is that i am back with old type of resolving issue about this phone. Disabling 2/3 of processes. But in this case for battery sake not processor or ram issue
this is getting crazy theres like 3 threads now of battery drains

Don't even know what it is. I'm really guessing it is A2017U Bootstack B35. Any custom rom under any kernel yields the same horrible battery life. I'm afraid of flashing an older bootstack. Perhaps the safest one is LineageOS universal bootloader B15 and Modem
https://imgur.com/a/sH17g
That battery usage is NOT normal. I believe culprit is the modem. The battery seems to take a hit more when the signal changes rapidly. I had a strange anomaly yesterday when I had 69% battery for over 40 minutes. The signal was more or less much more stable than that in another area. Those screenshots were taken at work. I've never had that much drain prior to updating bootstack
Edit: this is that anomaly from yesterday https://imgur.com/a/VnDBS the signal was more or less more stable and the battery was really good. Like normal. And that was with music playing from Spotify via mobile data and Dolby atmos and viper4a while browsing Facebook and using messenger. So yes, I believe it could be the modem
@DrakenFX whats your opinion on this?
Why would every user not be experiencing the same battery issues?

I don't know where to look up my version, but I'm running on the latest resurrection remix and I'm also getting like 2 hours sot max... It'd be really nice if there was any way to know how we can circumvent this or maybe update to a newer version of the bootstack - I'm on an A2017G

i'm pretty sure it's not the bootstack, otherwise everyone would have the same problems - i had 7h SOT on RR.
So, miflash didn't work?

My question to everyone with this problem was if flashing a full stock image through MiFlash wouldn't solve it. I've had this problem; also random reboots which didn't get fixed even by updating from M to N, and MiFlash (or going LOS then back to stock) fixed it. I thought i had told you to use miflash, but it must have been someone else lol
What's the point in fragmenting the issue in like 3 different threads? Are the other ones dead?

Yeah, sorry, either you meant someone else or I missed you giving me that advice - anymay, I might try it this weekend.
So you're running on RR now again after going through this progress and you're getting a whopping 7 hours sot? When did you buy your Axon (or rather, how old is your battery)? 7 hours sounds like Utopia to me

Nope, not like that.
I bought my phone in February. I mostly used it with stock, but tried some custom ROMs although most were horrible to use back then. One day around May (i think) I had some trouble going back to stock, and I DFU-bricked my phone. So, 4th categ brick repair. After using MiFlash to install Marshmallow B10 I used it for a couple weeks (Xposed being one of the reasons), but battery life was around 3.5h SOT and I had random reboots, even without xposed... I updated to the latest N and it was exactly the same. Back to the drawing board then.
So I flashed RR, then a kernel, then added substratum + swift black to the mix, and I got 7h SOT.
Then I got bored of RR and returned to stock, and that's when I got the 3 hours of overall battery (not even SOT) so I used Nuclea for like a month. After that I went back to stock and had the usual 4-5h SOT.
You basically have to reinstall the system from the ground up and your battery life will get fixed eventually if it is a software problem. But better do it fast, because each charging cycle is bad for the battery

I know that this is not topic related and everything but how is the sound in custom roms? Isbthe speaker as good as in the stock rom and what about the headphone sound? I am thiking about installing a custom rom but I want the sound to be just as good.

I don't know about the speakers but I believe they sound okay (way better than my friends' S7edge/S8/3T for sure xd). As of headphones you HAVE to flash the AK4490 patch or you'll be using the other DAC.
I recommend to use Viper4ARISE or the V4A magisk module from shadysquirrel. You'll learn to live without Atmos since the AK4490 will work on everything, so it compensates with soundstage.

Battery issues with custom roms

Hello everyone..... I have flashed 3 custom roms on my phone rr aex and lineage ..... In all three roms i had the same problem which i didn't have on stock rom, i.e. battery. In the custom roms i get 1%drop in every 3-4 mins while screen is on. And while the screen is off it is okay bur sometime while the screen is off too the battery drops 1% about evry 3 mins.... This didnt happen in the stock rom , on that i got about 1% drop in 9 mins plus the standby time was amazing..... So i wanted to ask why is this issue there? Is there a problem with the custom roms or there kernels? And should i flash the stock kernel on lineage os 15.1, will it make a difference??what else can i do for better battery? Thanx in advance:good:.

I believe its with the ROM itself. The way the ROM manages BG processes and deep sleep cycles, u can improve battery with the custom kernel ( ko kernel ) but you have to sacrifice a bit of performance , by twerking the CPU profiles using kernel adiutor , but even then it won't make a huge difference.
I'd stay if battery is ur concern, go with pure aosp or stock . I hope the issue is fixed soon , the dev have acknowledged it.
Im using rr rom with ko kernel,greenfly and amplify.it gaves me about 10 hours SOT.battery drops at 20% after 2 hours using SOT

This is the ko kernel for zenfone max pro m1..... Download it and flash it from recovery....
This will fix your battery issues
Also if you are having battery issue check and see if any of your apps is eating too much battery in background because when i flashed the magisk module of youtube vanced app on the ko kernel the battery problems started again and when i removed it the battery was fine again?

I have found a better kernel than ko kernel
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...velopment/x00td-rawwork-kernel-v1-0-t3811851/
I am using this kernel now and i found that battery life is better on this one and the ram management too..... With ko kernel i had like 1300 mb free at all time but now with this kernel there is 1800 mb ram free at all times ..... It has made the performance better with good battery life.

Hello i can see that your system has used very less battery than mine .
In your screenshot system shows only 17 % battery used.
My system used up 34% battery with 6hrs 5 min screen on time....
Why is that ?is there a problem in my phone or is it just cos we use pur phones in different ways.

It does depend on how you use your phone. What is important is to figure out if your phone is using battery on something that you don't expect it to. Use better battery stats to see if your phone is using battery on unwanted stuff. Now I am getting 15h battery.

Nopes, it shouldnt be that much. Check your partial wakelocks or kernel wakelocks. Sometimes i have cdfinger_wakelock which is taking up battery. I also have ActivityManager-Sleep wakelock which is also consuming too much battery. When I restart things start working(sometimes). Sometimes I don't have a clue how to stop them.

This happens with me too..... Sometimes when i restart it after charging to 100% then it doesn't consume any battery while the screen is off even for hours but sometimes while sleeping and even when screen is on the phone consumes 4% battery in 12 mins. I hope there will be a permanent fix for this in the future.

That's probably from buggy ambient display. Try turning off n check if it improves. I am no expert in wakelocks. I am myself figuring out stuff. You can ask people in better battery stats thread. They might help us.
