Ridiculous ICS Battery Life

On Friday 1 June 2012, which is Friday last week at the time of writing, I gladly updated my phone through Kies after receiving word of the UK update being available from these very forums. Over the past week, I have noticed that my battery life is considerably worse since my upgrade to the new Android version and, when hearing of people hear who manage up to 36 hours of battery life through this phone, I really want to find out what they are doing exactly. At present, I have set the brightness at 1% (the minimum) and only up it to 40% when out in bright light conditions. At home, I also use the Screen Filter app which dims the screen further (I have this set to 50% of my already 1% brightness setting) and claims to improve battery on AMOLED devices. I also have Juice Defend Ultimate running on "Aggressive" mode along with the built-in power saving mode running as well. Yet, looking on CPU Spy, my phone still does not enter deep sleep which is needed to see a real improvement in battery life as far as I am aware. I have tried restarting the phone and also plugging it back into charge before unplugging it with the screen turned on as many have recommended. Any ideas what else I can do?

Uninstall juicedefender. Its not uncommon that it drains a lot more juice than it saves.

There is must be any Application that is hogging your battery.
Install better battery state... Find that application and uninstall that.
I am getting better battery life in ICS as compared to GB...

I have that app installed, but frankly have no idea how to use it very well. From what I can tell, it is Kik Messenger which is creating a partial wake lock (but I need that to send pictures to my friends), Juice Defender which is supposedly saving battery life and biggest partial wake lock is RILJ or something. But, that is caused from a weak signal and I get that regardless of network at my house. Besides moving, I cannot alter that. As for Juice Defender, I've heard nothing but positive reviews from it. My main aim is to get deep sleep working, but how?

Install Better Battery Stat and check what app is actually causing the problem :

first ,samsung ICS is poorly made ,second you have a high chance of bricking if you wipe your phone with their official kernels so don't do it.
third ,like others said ,juice defender (and any app of this sort) doesn't work anymore (android 2.2 and up) so just uninstall it.
fourth ,not entering deep sleep is mostly due to a rouge app ,and since wiping is not an option for you you need to hunt it down manually ,use better battery status (learn how to use it!!!) and uninstall any apps you don't need.
fifth ,get some knowledge then get rid of crappy touchwiz ROM and install CM9 ,you'll see a huge improvement in terms of performance and battery life.

Okay, well this is my first proper Android device (minus an old second-hand HTC Desire which had awful storage and I used for around one month). Secondly, I do know that other ROMs offer better performance and battery life but flashing them onto my phone is something I'm not very comfortable with and surely it would also void my warranty. I've only had the phone for four weeks and don't want it wrecked already.

I'm fairly new to android as well ,had an S2 (which was so good that I only rooted it ,no custom ROMs) for 5 months before the note and that's it.
but I rooted my note the first day I got it ,and installed a custom ROM less than a week later (was a total noob at the time but I read and learnt quickly) .
then CM9 arrived and I flashed that immediately and haven't regretted it so far.
but I had no warranty to begin with so.....
note that if there is something that can wreck your shinny new note ,then it's amsung official ICS update (read the announcement sticky on ICS and bricking) .

but how experts can explain the fact i face:
With every official and custom ROM i install, even CM9, my note keeps eating battery when in use plugged to the charger... it's unbelievable... I can't understand how it happens.
by the way: i always full wipe before installing any custom/official rom.

Well, is there nothing that I can do to trigger deep sleep or improve battery life on the stock ROM first of all? Secondly, how difficult is rooting and would that void any warranty?

it can't happen ,I'd say you either have a faulty battery\charger or there is someting wrong with the phone itself
the note charges while in use and connected to a charger.

yes you can ,uninstall the violating apps ,learn to use better battery status ,you'll find that there is an app or two responsible for the wake locks ,thus preventing the phone from entering deep sleep.
or simply install every app and game that seems suspisious or poorly made ,and just keep the essential ones.
as for rooting ,it couldn't be simpler if done carefully and to the letter :
1.flash back to GB using PC ODIN
2.root it
3.backup your EFS folder (important , very important) search for it on the forums.
4. install custom ROMs (stay away from unsafe kernels please ,read the sticky thread about ICS kernels)
3. enjoy
use this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
yes there is an easy way to root while on stock ICS as per to this guide ,but I prefer you stay away from official ICS for the sole reason that it's dangerous.
remeber the key is to read and read and read ,in a month you could become a pro
on the other hand if you go the lazy way ,you could just end up with a bricked phone
also once you root ,your warranty is void ,though if you're careful you can return it to stock condition and they won't tell the difference
be careful

That's just wrong. CM9 battery drain with screen on is far, far worse than Stock ROM.

no my friend ,I'm afraid you're wrong ,with the 4\6 nightly my phone was running with low usage for 48+ hrs .
the battery life is phenomenal for me .

@Brad387
I have had mine for about 2 weeks. When I turned it on and did the initial setup it had a new software update which was ICS. Since then I have been having issues with deep sleep as well. I turned stuff on and off and it has been totally random what was preventing it from going to deep sleep.
I have done this trick that has been on this forum.
Put you phone to airplane mode.
Power it off completely
Remove battery for 20 seconds or more
put battery back in and power this thing back on
then turn off airplane mode.
This seems to have helped me get into deep sleep. BUT there have been instances of rogue crap going on. Like I was using Google maps with GPS on. When I got home and was done with my traffic mapping I turned off the GPS switch and turned off my phone. I checked an hour later and the battery had died 10% since I got home which was more than when I was driving. I checked Better Battery Stats and it showed that GPS was running that whole time. So I turned on GPS again in the toggle waited a couple seconds then turned it off again and bang it went into deep sleep. It sucks that I have to check crap on it all the time and have become a bit paranoid because the GPS glitch had my phone running pretty hot. Since then everything has been running well and deep sleeping.
There are other things I did do too and the below stuff is up to you if you wish to proceed. I rooted my phone which was very easy...at least for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20963730&postcount=3 this is what I used with no problem.
From there you can freeze a bunch of stuff you may not use like Social Hub, Accuweather etc etc.You will need Titanium for that though and root access.
I logged out of Latitude too which was on by default for some reason.
If I remember anything else I did I will hit you back here.
Bottom line was finally yesterday I was able to get thru the entire day without needing to plug in so there is light at the end of the tunnel...I hope.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but CPU Spy lets you see if you are getting into deep sleep mode and how much time you are in it along with the other CPU mhz that its running.
Hopefully this can help out a bit because I have been in the same boat and it has been driving me mad. Sorry for all the random thoughts too...I just typed them as I remembered things.

My phone does not seem to enter Deep Sleep, but runs constantly at 200 MHz instead. At present, after turning on the built-in power saving mode (not noticing any performance differs so can't even tell what it does), running Juice Defender Ultimate on aggressive and screen filter I burn around 2% per hour if I just leave my phone locked. Is that healthy?

Actually, there is something you can do about that!
Both Vodafone and Three can supply you with a Femtocell which can greatly improved your signal at home, and uses your home broadband as backhaul.
I know, because I have them!

Battery life of my Note was horrible after upgrade to ICS, and actually already quite bad the last month on GB2.3.6 (all unrooted).
It could get quite warm and often when opening my case the screen was already on.
So I did wipe my phone, reinstalled all apps and battery life has improved immensely.
I see several warnings here about chance to brick your phone when wiping on stock ROM, but not solving the battery drain is of course no option and we don't have a guarantee from Samsung for nothing...

your phone should not be running at 200MHz when you hit the sleep/power button. So if its in your pocket and the screen is off then 200MHz is not healthy. Something is running in the background. Have you tried the airplane mode battery trick yet? What I did when that was happening to me was...turn on the airplane mode, power off the phone, pull out batt for 20 secs, put batt in and power on phone, turn off airplane mode, then go to CPU Stats and clear it, then put phone back to sleep and let it sit for a half hour or less if you cant handle that wait like I couldnt. Go back to CPU Stats and and click refresh and see if it helped and if your phone went into deep sleep.

Battery not lasting more than 7 hrs after jellybean update

My p3100 battery is not lasting more than 7hrs after jellybean update..earlier it use to last more than 20 hrs...i dunno wat is happening...yesterday the battery was fully drained so i plugged in the charger but within an hour it showed battery full so i unplugged it and after 1hr of use it again showed low battery so i switched it off n turned it on then after that it took around 4hrs to get charged...n from then the battery is not lasting more than 7to max 8 hrs that too with minimal useage..help me guyzz wat to do ???

I have the same impression....did not count times but I think the battery lasts less...
I'm on taiwan 4.1.1 stock

same problem here, i am stock OTA 4.1.1 (india)

download CPU spy to check and make sure it's still going into Deep Sleep when the screen is off.
Also if your rooted use No Frills CPU (or any other CPU tuner type app) and change the governor from interactive to hotplug, hotplug disables one of the CPU cores when not needed thereby saving battery.

Even for me as well and so many issues so many things missing in the update like
1.Screen capture app is missing.
2.Lock screen is stock in portrait not turning to landscape unable to solve it.
3.Battery is draining so fastly as compared to before.
4.All the apps not responding instantly it is taking time to respond and even i need to reopen it as it is not opening for long time
5.Main thing is Notification bar is too small compared to before and unable to see signal info properly
6.And the home screen seems more crispy i didn't like it at all
and finally before it looks like a tablet now it look like a phone in considering with the notification bar and typical buttons like home screen......

Daniel, it is going into deep sleep.. It's driving me crazy the way it still uses up battery..Also like said by others,notification bar is too small..Can not read anything on it (battery percentage, wi-fi signal, notifications..)..Any other ideas?

I saw massive drain after I installed the latest Samsung push service update. I unistalled the update and everything back to normal.

Massive battery drain when screen is off

So I have my phone like 4 days now and the first day I immediately noticed that when I turn off the screen it drains battery like hell (60+% in one night). It's like the cpu doesn't go to sleep at all.. Sometimes it works fine and looses like 5% at night that's fine for me but then the next day it will loose 10+ % in one hour by doing nothing...
The phone is pure stock, I changed nothing, no root or anything...
This is really annoying have no idea what it could be that drains so much battery.. Already looked if an app was draining but no...
Someone has the same problem? Or maybe knows how to fix this?

Clear the cache.
In case you don't know.
Turn phone off
Hold Home + Power + Volume Up till you see the Samsung logo, then let go of all buttons.
A menu should load - Navigate using vol keys and select using power button.
I had a similar issue and this fixed it for me.

So did it last night but changed not much at all, at most it drains 2% less an hour..
I'm thinking if factory reset would fix it but I don't really wanna do that..

There is an excellent thread on battery life for note5 which you can use to get tips for edge plus too.Here is the link :
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5/567125-note-5-battery-life-thread.html
Samsung has provided lot of inbuilt apps like Smart Manager which is like Clean Master you get in Play store.
Open Smart Manager ---> Click on Storage --> click on Detail ---> click on Cache data --> click delete to clean cache.
Lot of people downloaded Greeify, shutupp,wave lock detector and doze which actually use battery. After I uninstalled them battery life increased by 45 minutes.

I agree. Most of the apps that promise to increase battery life degrade it further. In fact, this Paranoia of ours with battery life (keep checking every 10 minutes for battery drop) affects it further.
So, I would suggest uninstall all 3rd party apps. And do not track battery life every instant. And still if you think your battery isn't lasting long enough (check On Screen Time/ Active Time at end of day), contact Samsung.

Hello there!
I had the same problem initially. I wasn't sure which app was causing. So i did a factory reset and reconfigured everything. Now all well. So i guess the best thing would be to backup everything do a factory reset. Then carefully monitor the other app you are installing. There are few that draws lot of power for location services. Then disable that S voice wake up command thingy I am guessing it runs all the time which is not so great. Don't go for Greefiy or any apps like that. Those don't do great job unless you have a Xposed running

So I tried clearing the cache but did noting. I had GPS always on I thought maybe if I turn it off but the same changed nothing.. I don't have any "battery Monitoring" or greenify like app.. Sometimes it works fine but othertimes it drains like crazy doing nothing.. I will try factory reset, hope that will fix this..

Hello mate. I faced the same battery drain problem. It wasn't going to deep sleep when screen was off. Last night 6-7 hours screen was off but the device wasted my %19 battery so result was missing the alarm and got late to work etc. Then I rooted and flashing the Arter97 kernel solved this(Now draining about %3). The device is now sleeping deeply like a deeply sleeping baby when screen is off lol.

How did you root it? I'm on G928F and didn't find anything else that the stock autoroot kernel but not sure about it..

It's weird. Did u check the arter kernel flashed properly, cpu governor switched to interactive and 'Deep sleep' isn't in 'Unused Cpu States' ? I ask that because my device doesn't waste much battery when the device is in deep sleep(already said). Dunno man I couldn't help any more. Good luck.

Yeah flashing is ok. You can download any kernel app. I'm using Kernel Aduitor, Kcontrol, Trickster Mod Kernel Settings apps. Basically download the first one from Play Store.

Thanks so governor is interactive but in unused cpu states I have nothing just "-"

Okay I'll show you tomorrow will charge up the phone now and let it sit until tomorrow morning and see how much deep sleep it had and how much buttery he drained

So it's been a couple weeks now and I managed to get a little bit better battery life, drains 15-20% over night before it drained something like 60 70% but battery life is still poor some guys get 7 to 9h SOT I'm can be happy if I get 4 5h..
I'm running custom rom arter kernel tried everything but nothing really fixes completely my problem.. Start to think I have a faulty phone..

Deep sleep issue

I have latest rr rom installed and at night it does not go into deep sleep. I think on other roms a have same problem.

Here is screenshot from cpu spy plus

Now i have Deep sleep on cpu info but my battery still drain a lot during night: it is 30% less any idea? I have franco kernel on rr

I noticed this too, about 20% overnight, nearly on every custom rom. I will turn off the ambient gestures this night, let's see if it gets better. Always on display is off anyway, that should be clear.

Use ForceDoze app to put the device to sleep as soon as you turn the screen OFF.

my ambient gestures is disable.

deep sleep = doze, enter when no sensor cath anything, if you keep night your phone somewhere the sensor feel movements, for exsample, the phone will not enter doze.
use an app for force doze, can work even with no root applying 2 adb command, like naptime, greenify and so on.

No, its your rom/kernel problem, i'm on "other rom" and i dont have this issue, standby only drain 1-3% over night.

Lastest Carbon with inbuilt kernel.

Problem is not with rom nor kernel. There is a problem in the USB port i also have this problem. There is a temporary fix. Not a permanent one.
The temp fix is you need a root browser with root permissions
Go to /sys/module/dwm_msc (or something like that) /parameters then click on the file disable_host_mode and change the value from N to Y
If phone is restarted the value gets reset to N

OK, i changed it, let's see what's happens.
 @GVN.Gallus could you check the value on carbon ROM ?

I had the same issue with stock rom. Naptime did the trick for me. Before that IT wouldnt go info deep sleep.

Everything look ok to me, BUT one app
I think Google Play Services causing you drain, on my stock ROM, Play Services is least active app while on you screenshot it is most active one. Try to, disable, enable and then update it.

Huge battery drain! Tried almost everything

I bought the mi A1 about 9 months ago and it was working fine up until 6 weeks ago.
The battery has started to drain big time and the Android system is consuming most of the power.
I've tried the below already,
1. Calibrating my battery.
2. Factory reset to January update.
3. Stopping the apps running in the background.
4. Turning off location / wifi and internet.
5. Tried disabling backup of photos.
6. Disabled app preview messages under Google.
7. Tried replacing the physical battery at the service center.
8. Currently running on the June 2018 patch.
Despite doing all this the battery drains big time, even when it's idle, when I'm sleeping.
I'm unable to upload screenshot because it keeps saying that there's a network issue. But the screenshot stats say that the android os consumes most of the battery and SoT was 30 minutes. Phone was idle for most of the time. It came down 100-20% in a few hours.
Android OS is eating away most of the battery.
Does anyone have suggestions or a solution for this? It's really annoying.

Download GSAM Battery Monitor and enable extra stats via the app and a few simple commands through PC. Check what is draining your battery its probably the same thing which is killing my battery in stand by. There are hundreds and thousands of Kernel wake locks via a file called 7000000.ssusb which has no permanent solutions yet.

Thank you for the response. A few other forums indicated 7000000.ssusb could be the cause too. Is there anything at all to disable it?

you could try the following if you are rooted :

Void kernel doesn't block wakelocks. If that is your main concern, flash MetaPheonix or Mint kernel. Visit their respective XDA posts and check out.
