Solution: 2nd post!

I DID IT !
almost in the same time it drained almost all the battery before, now it has lost only 1% or 2%!!!!
after reading every single post on the internet (many thanks to who has investigated battery drainage), i've mixed the tips and tricks and what i did is:
(Maybe a lot of things are unnecesary)
- Disable syncing in gmail account (everything)
- delete software update's cache
- killed all services except only 2 first party services: SNS and Google services
- Tweaked the apps running on startup with "Autostarts" app.
- 3g off
- Wifi off
- BT off
and, as you can see, it's completely idle. it stayed like two hours without losing battery, constantly at 71%.
I hope this is helpful! I will try to discover slowly which one of these things drains so much battery!

it looks to me that to solve your problem you transformed your phone into a nokia 6310.
It was a good phone, lasting days or weeks but it had no 3G, no wifi, no mail sync ... just like your phone now
What happens if you turn on the 3G and the Wifi ? DOes it drain the battery in couple of hours ?

Just by turning 3g off will help
looking at the graph you posted it looks like where it has poor signal is when you experience steep drainage.
good idea to have all the features turned off when you are not using it. especialy 3g cause it will keep draining to get a better signal.
try using one of those widgets to turn on and off 3g so you don't have to drill into settings every time you need it.

You only have to keep pressed the power button and select the second option to disablr 3g... Data network.
I will update soon!

Check Android OS and System use
What is the Android OS and Android System use?

i'm on debusrom, gingerbread 2.3, in spain.

your problem is probably only solved temporally, all method you said has already been proven not working. it's probably a serious driver issue in all exiting gingerbread roms for sgs, have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039696

My new broadcom wifi driver works like before update, phone is not sleeping ! It is not a wifi bug, it is not a dirty ROM flashing, it is not random app. Only 2 things left to consider Gingerbread core fault or broken device driver other than modem, wifi...

What battery status app is that you're using?

i am having batt drainage too...but is on MIUI rom...I am not sure why...my initial guess is kernel prob....still investigating it now~~~

So, why you post it in here if you are on MiUi ??

that means turning your SGS into a regular Nokia 1100. Why disable all features that make your device a smartphone?

i have used many stock and custom rom results are similar
disabling background data and syncronising gives better battery usage but makes it a simple phone

I'm shocked that turning off all that improved battery.

Finow X3+ Battery Life help

I got my new Finow X3+ watch this past week and although I'm really impressed with the look, speed and overall capability of the device, all of that means squat when it can't make it past 8 or 9 hours on a good day with very limited use (basically only checking the time and notifications with only BT tether and cell on, no WIFI).
Not sure if it was bad OTAs that I installed when I got it or what's going on but I think it has something to do with phone not sleeping..If anyone can give tips to save battery that you've found for unrooted x3+ please let me know.
Also does anyone know of a way to disable the pedometer hardware as I'm pretty sure that's the a big issue. Thanks guys

The cell network is the batt hogger. What do you expect from that tiny batt? Because Watch standby is perfect.

It's true, since turning off cell service I can usually get almost a full day (7am-10pm) just using it as a companion watch with m2d but it's disappointing not being able to use it the way I thought I could.
But how are you getting 3.5 days on one charge? I don't think mine goes into full deep sleep possibly because pedometer always logging info? Please let me know if you know how to disable the pedometer constantly running since I'd rather use it and the Heart monitor on an "as needed" basis. Any help is appreciated.

You have installed this update?

Yea I did...should I not have installed it?

I read that drains the battery, you've seen any change?

I'm on latest. That 3d standby I got by turning off all sensor. Specially GPS. that hogs. Also pedometer. Use them when u need.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Yea I noticed bit more drain after that OTA but not overheating like some others. Gonna try factory reset like sonia said

I turned off GPS and WIFI and also ios notification which was big battery hog and it made big difference. How did you stop other sensors and pedometer though? I can't find those settings.

As ios turn off notifications?

Yea I turned off the ios push notification like you're showing in your pic, was taking about 10% battery in mine too. It didn't have any effect on notifications from phone to watch cause I don't use iPhone. Saved good amount in battery too.
So you know how I can disable pedometer if that's possible?

But as ios notifications is disabled?

I force closed ios notifications from the running apps list but for some reason it still takes some battery. Anyway I solved my issue: I did factory reset and then downloaded a phone booster app someone recommended on the Google group page.
Went from ~8-10 hours light use to about a day and half on one charge with moderate use. If anyone has battery life issues for seemingly no reason then try this. Thanks for your help mad.

What phone booster app?

Huge battery consumption, help needed

Hi all,
I am very satisfied with my device except for the battery life. I always had like 3-4 hours SOT. I was not happy but it was OK.
Lately I started charging the device every day after work (I would come home with dead phone after only 8-9 hours of it being unplugged).
So I thought the battery is defective, I must change it... and I did change it yesterday. The thing is that even the new battery behaves almost the same. It approved somewhat and now I will return home with 10% battery instead of dead phone 1 hour ago. But still the battery is terrible...
Can anyone help me, share some advice on how to improve it? I have disabled many software (even facebook), disabled location... did everything I could think of.
I am thinking some app is drawing the juice but cannot put my finger on any of them.
Some screenshots are attached that might help with your tips/advices.
Thanks!

Are you rooted? On nougat? If so get background restrictor APK here on XDA and kill background apps and tasks so they can't run if you do not open them. Lower screen brightness. Install kernel auditor and shut off cores 4 and 8.

uninstall chrome. Then try accubattery (better bcause after android 7, they join all in android system to mask each app consumption. If after this you still can't find out where's the problem, start the phone in "safe mode". Even the consumption is better in this mode you must do a full wipe in recovery mode (vol up+power+home) and after this, reinstall one app each time and see after reinstall the second one and so on until you find out in which app is draining the battery
If you want you can starting by disabling background data in settings but I think isn't the clearer way to find out

This is going to surprise you.
I've had this phone for years and I've tried everything - and the BEST result is when you DON'T DO ANYTHING except disable Facebook and Instagram, and any Google Apps you don't use.
Do not tamper with anything else.
I figure that Samsung tunes this phone so tightly that if you leave it alone it operates as it should.
Anytime I disabled anything else, battery life suddenly and drastically reduced.
The phones runtime software kicks in and if you have disabled something it checks routinely, it will keep the phone awake constantly looking for a ping back from that process.
I just went through the whole process again meticulously, App by App.
Also DO NOT enhanced messaging OR the device antivirus. If you have, you must reset and then train yourself not to engage these too regardless of how hard The phone tries to persuade you!
Then - the battery life becomes like a normal phone which means you'll still need to charge everyday but it will take you through a full heavy day... And this is fantastic!
Honestly try it and you'll see what I mean. The S6 edge plus is so finely tuned, anything you block will start a feedback loop.

I had similiar problems , the way i fixed it, i disabled/uninstalled all samsung applications what i dont use, i disabled/uninstalled all google applications what i dont use. Cold weather (like -20C) will affect the battery life too.
Disable / uninstall apps you dont need. That helped me a lot and got even more battery life while at stock nougat rom with all updates installed.
try wiping cache from recovery and reboot your phone.
I hope this helps you

Oh boy! Should I upgrade to Oreo or wait?

Apperantly the update to Oreo has come around. How stable is it though, should I wait.
What's your experience?

From a few hours of work with the updated phone i do not see any problems. Performance is the same like on nougat and i am yet to see any bugs. If you like to work with new tch like me - go and get the update. If you are more cautious - wait for a few days and see the feedback before updating.

go ahead buddy, its good, no bugs, same as it was on nougat, 3-4 hours SOT..

Boy, we already waited too long, I just hit update

Are you on 2.21.401.1??
Same Sh1t... Different Day

I updated on my single SIM and there are no problems. Battery life is the same (around 3 hours of SOT). On nougat I had problems with fingerprint reader lately (when turning on the screen, sensor didn't work - when I turn off smartlock, it worked) but now on Oreo there is no problems. Also, automatic "do not disturb" didn't work (worked just first time after reboot) and on Oreo it works.

So I've upgraded and no problems so far.
I didn't reset or anything, just upgraded.
Notification badges however don't really work for any app except for some that came with the ROM.

well, the phone didnt have any major bugs or alot of stuff that are not working i did notice a major hit in bench marks like geek bench the single core score droped to nearly half of what it was before oreo lol but i managed to solve this by unlocking the bootloader which did do a reset for may phone and made it as fast as brand new a normal factory reset from the settings didnt change a thing so ya you can try factory resseting but it didnt work for me. another thing is that when rotating the phone while watching a video on youtube or something there is a bug where the phone takes about 5 to 6 seconds to respond that can be fixed by just restarting your phone . it is a really stupid bug. oh yeah and one more thing if you open the camera app and then press the home button the second screen will still have the camera zoom slider on it until you close the app also there alot of instances where the phone goes from the app to home screen without an animation but again nothing too big all of them are small little bugs
here is a post where is explain how my phones performance got way better after unlocking the bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-ultra/help/htc-lagging-problem-t3777187

Same for me geekbench is like nougat

I think it's safe to say the update on single SIM is much better than the one for Dual SIM, right.
My Ultra performs now much better, almost never stutters, consistant speed, and normal battery life. I hoped the google camera worked better on oreo, but it is still slow and unstable. i think the camera 2 implementation is not perfect. tested the gcam ports also on the old lg g5 and there it is almost like on a nexus/pixel.
All in all i'm very satisfied with the update, especially the improved outdoor visability is a nice surprice. but it came way too late and a half year without security patches is a nogo. hope tehy will come now at least every third month again.

So what about the badge notifications for Oreo?
What apps don't get them right?
