I have been experiencing huge battery drain on my VNS-L21
I did everything to save battery and still drains fast..
It even had 43,91% when i woke up (Android System)
Have you tried factory reset after upgrading to B380?

Yep.
I have encountered battery drain issue just when I was using different wifi router.When I changed back to old one, it was gone.
My problem was related to wifi,Weird but interesting
Sometimes reflashimg the firmware fixes that issue.

I've been having strange fluctuations in the battery which I noticed and I was assuming it was some of wake locks or alarms causing this drain.
I also noticed the battery getting heated during charging.
The weirdest issue I faced is that every first boot after full barge reduces to -10%later reboots meet them intact I noticed this on stock rom and custom rom also, Also while charging I saw that from 93%to 100 %jump was just in few min which is totally ubnormal.
Tough my fast charging was turned off.
Hopefully it's just a battery issue I can't live without this device after giving it for service.
Is anybody else having these issue ??
I think its a software issue did you try doing a factory reset ? Disable all the useless apps? Remove the battery once in awhile? Jumps from 93-94%to 100 is not uncommon

I guess this has been fixed by resetting the battery gauge after full charge to 100% I had to pull the battery wait for about 3mins and put it back after this reset procedure looks like the last 2 charge cycles dint have those random drops after reboots, but I've the battery drains I need to figure out what problem is I get a maz of 4hsot.

Hey bro, flash stock rom via odin, perform factory reset with stock kernel(this will wipe internal sd card too) , remove the extsdcard & use it for a couple hours
i had the same issue & above did the trick

@Pratik Thanks your suggestion, I already Did this, Flashed Stock was on Stock for some time approx1day could not bear it flashed our Rom all is good so far needs a bit or battery tweaking.my app usage always is 60%> so it may take a while for me to understand on how this can be fixed.
Hey there!
I flashed the official Lollipop (Germany) rom that is posted in the Note 4 General forum two days ago without doing a factory reset. Right now, I am experiencing horrible battery life. GSAM reports that the phone radio is using 35% of the battery life. I also see the 4G icon blinking every few seconds, indicating that mobile data is being used. How can I solve this? My battery life was perfect before flashing Lollipop...
Many thanks in advance!
Screenshot just in case:
Maybe you should try a factory reset.
Although I updated without resetting and one of my friends did a full wipe before and after, and we both see a decrease in battery life. Nothing too horrible, but noticeable. So I think it's just Lollipop. After all, even the Nexus devices have been having battery issues with it.
See if a factory reset helps you, worth a shot.

Thanks for your advice. I will be sure to give it a shot. A decrease in battery life is pretty bad if you ask me. I thought Project Volta was supposed to improve battery life, not decrease it. And definitely not as much as is happening to me. By the way, the phone radio is still constantly active. I hope a fix will be out soon.
Can you check your Power Saving menu? I have similar problems with all apps that are using mobile data. Their Total connection time is really long even though I have used them for a few minutes.

Unfortunately a factory reset didn't help. My battery is still draining way too fast.. I can get around three and a half ours screen on time. Previously that was around five hours. I will check the total connection time later on when my battery has drained a bit!
Horrible battery drain in my handset, too. 910F model with German rom.
Flash echoe lollipop rom.waaaay better then stock.no more battery drain for me and much faster!
Formating cache partition helped me to get rid of the battery drain.

That sucks. It seems like this is a very serious bug in Lollipop. You'd think Google would have it figured out in 5.0.1 but that doesn't seem the case. Very annoyed by this.

here the same battery drain of facebook after lollipop upgrade (germany)
when i unplug wifi it starst keep stay connected to facebook and it grows even bigger than screen battery consumption.
heve you fixed it?
thanks!
I found WiFi to be the culprit for the rapid battery drain on Lollipop. Check out the following posts with my observations so far:
iridaki said:
After updating to Lollipop, I found that the phone behaves very differently. I have high "stay awake" times, caused by Android OS, even on Ultra Power Saving Mode. However, screen on time is still close to 4 hours, which is what I was getting on KK with my usage.
Before people jump in and say I need go factory reset, no I don't, there's another Note 4 in my home right now that was wiped before and after the update and shows the same symptoms.
Also I did install Gsam, but I'm not rooted, so it didn't give me more information than the stock battery stats page.

UPDATE: I think I found the culprit. It's the WiFi. What I did today was charge my phone to 100%, switch WiFi off, disconnect from the charger and reboot. Then went about using it as usual, only I didn't turn WiFi on at all, not even for a second (weirdly enough, the battery stats report WiFi being on briefly at times, but that's another Lollipop bug).
The results were a big increase of SOT (+1 hour, see my previous post for comparison), no more permanent wakelock and increased standby time.
My findings are consistent with reports from Nexus users, claiming WiFi on Lollipop is a battery killer, even on 5.0.1, which was supposed to be an update to fix said issue.
Now, not turning on the WiFi is not really a viable solution for me, as I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I sure hope Samsung will fix this problem soon.

Below are screenshots showing battery behaviour with WiFi on (first 3 images) and with WiFi off.
It's important to point out that simply turning WiFi off doesn't appear to bring battery drain back to normal.
Turning WiFi off and rebooting fixes the issue, so long as you don't turn WiFi on again.

LOLLIPOP
I've started to have very poor battery life 7 days after installing the DBT lollipop. 60% after 4 hrs use today. It was good at first but has been getting worse by the day. Something was making the phone get hot just now so restarted and its cool shortly afterwards. However I cannot identfy what it was causing the overheating.
Is it worth trying to wipe the cache? I did a factory reset after the install as it was boot looping. I really do not want to reset it weekly! Google is crap at backing up all the apps - 160 out of 196 were reinstalled after the factory restart. Very poor.
hello everyone,
my nexus 4 notified me of the 5.5.1 update and took it but i noticed after the update my battery seems to be draining faster than before. if i have a full battery and leave it unplugged all night it will be completely dead the next day. is anyone else experiencing this? i am about to factory reset to see id it clears up the issue. if that doesn't work would i be able to go back to 5.1 without rooting?
thanks

I had the exact same issue; yes, you're going to have to do a factory reset, that's what fixed it for me. It's generally a good idea after an upgrade of any kind, even a small one like this, to do a factory reset to avoid any potential issues.
I have a problem with charging, my device charging 5 hours!!! from 1% to 100% on charger from HTC One M8(1,5A) I installed stock factory image 5.1.1 used flash-all.bat but problem stayed ... Please help me, i don't know what my phone doing -,-

It takes a couple hours to charge in general. If it wasn't doing that before, try a different charger, to see if that fixes the problem.
yea i have tried many cables and some just charge the phone slower than others. i find really short cables will charge the phone quicker too. anyway it seems a factory reset cleared up my battery issues so thank you for the help
After updating to nougat,i find my device is getting much heat than it was in marshmallow and also sometimes it drains battery faster and some works well. I don't understand why it's happening. can anyone help me?
Do full wipes.

I have done factory reset and cleared cache partition, now i am monitoring the battery, and will update to this thread for further results of battery.
Thanks for answering.
Unistall Facebook and Facebook messenger...use alternatives (this change my battery life a lot). And try another rom like resurrection remix. I have 5/6 hours of screen and no heating.
My new handset is exhibiting marked battery drain over night.
Last night it was from 30%, the night before 20%. In the morning it was dead.
The handset was off both times.
A battery fault?
Thanks
Agree with you, hardware issue, RMA

Did you try a reset?
I have now reset. I'm going to monitor over the next few days.
Try other rom. I have issues like yours (last 30/20 drops faster then rest of percentages), so I gave it back to service. But the told me that battery capacity is perfectly ok, so I think that its more like calibration issue, since when I lock my screen it drops 1-2% of the battery for no reason. I have not tried yet LinageOS, and that % issue is with me since B06 (i updated to B08, B10, now I'm on Nougat and nothing is changing, even after cache clearing and resetting)

I'm not sure how much effect a rom will have while a handset is off. I don't want to root a week old phone.
As it lost 40%, while off overnight, the retailer has agreed to change it.
Thanks, all
