My phone updated to G930AUCU4BQF3 on July 10. Battery is <10% by 4pm. Previously, I'd still have 20% left when I plugged it in it's usual overnight charge at 11 pm. I also have apps launching on their own while the phone is not being used. Clear all running apps, set the phone down, come back a half hour later and 3-4 apps are active. A podcast launched itself and began playing in the middle of a seminar yesterday. I've not launched that player since before the update.

Yep know how you feel. Mine also is lower by the end of day than before this Security Update.

Since the update, I've noticed that my phone feels like a toaster oven when I'm on data.

This update for me seems to have undone the good battery time I had been getting. Fast charging seems wonky as well.

New Firmware Update for Dock Out!

Just brought my TF with me back to work and there's a notification icon for a new MobileDock update! Downloading now, hopefully this will resolve the battery drain issue I'm hoping!? To be clear I did already update my dock to the latest when I first got it a month ago so this one must be a new update I'd think.
The update said "completed successfully", my MobileDock version says EP101-0209 which is still the same revision so that's bizarre. ANybody else get the same notification?
Wow figured there'd be 50 replies by now. Anyway since updating this 55 minutes ago I left my TF docked, lid open but sleeping, wifi enabled and just now woke it up and I only went from 36% to 34% which is good because I was losing 4%/hour when docked, sleeping, and wifi disabled. So unless I'm just imagining it on first glance it seems like it's fixed/improved with that update I just picked up! Will really see overnight tonight, last night I had wifi off and removed the dual battery widget cause I thought that was hurting (and I think it is a bit) and I went from 100 to 87 so we'll see overnight tonight what happens.
checked update, nothing available.
The EP101-0209 dock firmware has been out for a while now. It came out right before I got my transformer/dock and that was in May

Right but mine was already updated to EP101-0209 around June 5th, the day I got my dock so it was already on that one today when this notification came up, so that's why it's very odd. I did actually watch the download progress and it took a bit so it definitely picked something up, what it was I'm not sure.
To be REAAAALLLYYY optimistic, maybe they're getting ready to push out a new update and this was just a glitch.

Heh maybe, we'll see
Something else worth mentioning, yesterday I did submit a ticket to Asus just to point out the 3 things I had issues iwth that I'd like to see fixed and #1 I listed was the dock battery drain. Guess it's possible that they somehow pushed something to my dock to test a fix?
I just received a new dock firmware notification today too. This is my second firmware update for the dock.
So far I've noticed that the white light on the left of the keyboard is lit when the Transformer is charging.

Sweet so I wasn't crazy!
I'm charging mine now but no white light is lit, you sure your caps lock isn't on
I don't notice any new dock update, what region are you in?
United States. The oddest part is the dock firmware revision didn't change, but we definitely picked something up today.

Anyone with new dock update rooted?
If there is some tiny incremental update that fixes the charging behavior then I will go back to stock to update.

Do you have to be stock to get the updates? I thought you could just grab them manually, and that rooting just prevented automatic installation?
Last night I disabled wifi and disconnected my charger at 100%/100% at 12:30AM and I checked just now @ 7:45AM and I'm at 100%/88% so that's 1% drain per hour! I don't know for a fact but seems to me the update possibly helped with the drain because I was at anywhere from 2% - 4% loss per hour depending if I had wifi on or not and the dual battery widget running.

[Q] Phone over heating and draining the battery

Hi there,
I bought a Galaxy S3 in the beginning of July and it's been great. Everything running smoothly, no problems whatsoever, excellent battery life. I've been getting 10 hours or more most days - I could not have been happier.
The phone is exactly as I bought it from the shop, with the exception that I'm running Nova launcher instead of the stock launcher.
However, The phone downloaded an update in early August and since then I've been having problems. The phone is running as normal, then, for no apparent reason it gets insanely hot, seriously, I could probably iron a shirt with it if I wanted. This appears to drain the battery completely and the phone shuts down within an hour.
This is only happening since the phone downloaded the latest update, it never happened before that. Yesterday it didn't happen, I got the full day out of my phone, unplugged it at 8am and didn't have to plug it in until near 9pm. But most other days the phone is getting really hot at some stage between 11am and 1pm and the battery is dead within the hour. I haven't installed any new apps since before the last update.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be?? If you need any more information please let me know.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Its possible that ota update is not so good at it seems like and when you have running apps in background ( i assume). If i get your post correctly i asume that its ota update that causes your problems (correct me if im wrong) for more help go to s3 forums since this isnt s3 forum but samsung galaxy 3 one
Sent from my Viper HOX
Oh right, S3 again. And I was already wondering how the G3 could heat up that much by it's own components^^
Nevertheless I would recommend whereismydroidpower app.
oops! sorry guys, will repost.
thanks for the advice.

SM-T715Y now receiving Marshmallow

So I just got the update notification on my 4G Tab S2 region code XID (Indonesia). F/W is on SamMobile as well, and would have installed it if my battery wasn't running low. Will report back soon!
so far it is exactly what I expected - GS7 software on a tablet. Great battery and none of the performance issues the first gen Tab S had when first receiving Lollipop.

Actually, battery life became worse on this update. I lose 1% of battery life in under 3 minutes without doing anything, my tab was just idle in the home screen.

But that didn't happen when I was still running Lollipop :/
I've noticed the battery drain too. It's not way worse, but it is slightly quicker at getting rid of charge. Has anyone noticed any other genuine changes? Apart from the lighter colour to the drop-down menu it seems basically identical.

Battery definitely drains faster in this update. It would take me 7-10mins for me to lose 1% of battery life in Lollipop. But now it would take me 3-5mins to lose 1% of battery life. I'm considering right now to go back to Lollipop to be honest, I can't stand this battery performance.
Other changes I've seen was the boot, it uses the S7 boot animation and there wasn't a boot startup sound.
Are many still waiting for the update?
Is everyone experiencing the rapid batter drain.
No update here.
Shofar
Charging time estimate seems to be gone from notif dropdown (no charging notif at all) and lock screen (just says charging, no more x hours x minutes until full)
Marshmallow works fine. The battery issues were and will always be there for first few days till the firmware settles in.
One problem i faced was not audio output on one of my bose earphones. I still get the output on an older pair. The new ones work fine with every other device including a note 5. Just not this tab. Any suggestions to make it work ?
Are there many of you still without MM?
More than a week and still nothing.
Is it simple to install from Sam Mobile?
Getting frustrated with Samsung.

Hopefully the battery issues are just temporary just like what you said, I am getting tired of this battery drain. This never existed in Lollipop.
About your earphones, maybe the Tab doesn't recognize it?
I guess I'll wait. Lollipop is not so bad....

The main reason why I stayed on lollipop with my tab s2 and Glad i turned automatic updates off....I learned my lesson when I put marshmallow on my galaxy s6 edge plus and the battery life was terrible....

Not to my knowledge. Dont have a microSD in my tab to test.
Still waiting
I upgraded from nexus 7 to the T715Y galaxy tab s2 8". Solid device, battery performance less than optimal, software updates non existant. The nexus still gets monthly security patching and got the android 6 OTA update in short order. Now 18 July and despite indonesia, panama, phillipines and other neighbours in asia having this update, still no word from Samsung. Tried Kies, side sync and OTA update button mashing... nothing.
In fact Kies said there was an update, which i installed, wiping my tablet to get .. you guessed it, the same darn version i had. 5.0.2. Would recommend the tablet if not for the lack of security and software updates.
Still waiting in Australia
Edit: finally got it about a week ago

anybody get the latest update G935VVRS4BQC9

Let me know your thoughts
Unremarkable, nothing but security update AFAIK.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
I didn't have optimizing apps like normal and the update was much faster, but than again that might have happened since we got Nougat and I didn't notice it in the last two updates.
Otherwise its typical security update.
Actually after I did the update, now every time my phone rings Spotify starts and I cannot figure out how to stop that from happening. Extremely annoying

I had two bugs that it actually fixed:
When I was connected to AC power, and on bluetooth, and would hit the dialer app it would restart the System UI and display an error stating that the system integrity couldn't be verified and suggesting to recover the phone using the Verizon **** tools.
When you set a reminder and turn the screen off before the "Reminder saved" verbiage was stated then the phone will go ahead and say that EVERY time you unlock the phone.
It has caused noticeably higher battery drain on my S7E during the day. I left it fully charged and unplugged over night after the update, and it only lost 2%, so Doze is working in that case. But when carrying it around, it drains faster than I've ever seen it drain by quite a lot. I'm assuming it's a rouge app that has some issue with the update. MyRadar may be the culprit according the battery monitor, as it often was on my Nexus 6P.
I've cleared both cache's several times and done several reboots to no effect.
I was right, it was MyRadar. I tried to optimize it, but it did not help. I finally uninstalled it and my battery life is at least as good as ever, and it's always been outstanding on this phone.
As a very outdoor oriented person, so I love the MyRadar app. But it's been a glitchy app for me for far too long. I'm using Radar Express now instead, and it is not impacting my battery drain so far.

Poor battery life after February update

Since February update I am getting very poop battery life, usually I used to get SOT of about 6hrs but now it's dropped to only 4.5hrs.
I have accubattery installed and noticed that battery use while screen is off is too much. Yesterday during night it drained 25% in about 6-7hrs of screen off and wifi off.
Anyone else also facing this issue?
Also I noticed since the update, apps are staying in the background usually even after 1-2hrs if I didn't remove the app from recent apps it was working in background but now even after 5-10mins of not using the app it's getting removed from the background.

Install greenify. Hibernate those apps. Might be some apps running in the background without you knowing. I'm on Feb update and I'm still getting 6-7hr SOT.
This has nothing to do with a security only update. I'm pretty sure the problem is caused by one of your apps which you've recently updated.
Install GSam Battery Monitor and BetterBatteryStats and see what's wrong.
Same here and I'm losing my mind. Not sure if it really is decreased or my brain is playing tricks on me. I haven't had the phone for too long, so I only had the January update for 2 weeks or so and I really feel like the February update decreased my battery life. I have set up Greenify and Amplify. I've also disabled sensors for Google Play Services with XPrivacyLua because I noticed that the body sensor was using a lot of battery for it.
Edit: Ok, I'm pretty sure I fixed it and I have no idea how. I just know that it got fixed after a restart, even though I restarted my phone before. And I'm pretty sure it was RCSService that was eating the battery.

Hi bro, I am also having the same issue. The device is installed with same apps that was before updating. I charged the device upto 90 and went to sleep. When I woke up after 7hrs the battery is drained to 55%. Android services and android system(RCS) took the battery. Did a factory reset and no issue. Still getting along with this. Any improvements mate?
Same here, that's why I reinstalled the global rom with january update only.

Yes, you will be able to get de OTAs because you are installing the official ROM, and bootloader will be automatically re-locked by the Mi Flash tool.

I have the same issue (mentioned in other thread with Blutooth) - and I have the same apps for couple of weeks (I am not a heavy user, app tester etc.)
If this is an app - it wolud be the update of it only...
Facing same issues. Dropped from 7.5h of screen-on time to 3.75h after February update. I wonder if it's time to move to LineageOS with MiNT kernel
