I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticing this but I just came off 4.3 TouchWiz onto SlimKat 4.4.2 (Build 5) and I'm noticing battery drain like crazy on my mobile. I thought it was bad on my previous stock ROM after the horrendous 4.3 update Samsung provided but this is worse. I used to get around 9-10 hours of battery life which has been reduced to around 6-7 hours now (I know it's not a HUGE difference but I'm not a fan of charging my phone twice a day). Overnight (despite leaving it on flight mode) the battery of my phone drops by 8 odd % in around 6-7 hours. Does anyone know the cause of this and can someone please help me?
Thanks

1. Switch off Google now.
2. Root.
3. Install Greenify + Donation Pack.
4. Greenify the intended apps.
5. Switch off Location.
6. Turn off animations.
7. Turn down the brightness.
8. Turn on the dark slim mode.
9. Switch to 2g.
With the above, I get 1+ day of battery on my i9300.
Read in other forums of other ROMs with 4.4.2 that battery drains with this KitKat version
Using omni ROM 4.4.2 battery drains on this too. Could it be Version specific problem ?
Hello I don't know where to ask this, have you notice that the battery 's percentage of this model quickly goes down? I noticed my mobile have excessive consume of battery. I disabled all the background apps anything. the problem I read, depends from firmware. My latest version is B193 {WAS-LX1A}... there's any possibility that the next firmware update they will solve this battery excessive consume? the battery is really a weak point... My old Samsung j5 was much more better.. this huawei p10 lite drain battery in few minutes from 90% to 85%.. in a couple of hours is already at 50% or even less...
I flashed the leaked Android Oreo OTA to my Verizon Galaxy S8 and am experiencing pretty terrible battery life. I'm getting about 2 1/2 hours of SoT which I find bad for 2018. Meanwhile, my Verizon LG V30 with Nougat is getting 5+ hours of SoT which drives me crazy. Any tips to improve? Also, how's your battery life with Oreo on your S8?
I haven't taken the dive for the Oreo beta based ROMs but have been following the threads and the consensus is that at present Oreo is no better than N, it actually seems to be a little worse for most, hence I'll wait for a while still before jumping to O, give it more time for fine tuning on the S8 by developers etc. just my opinion, plus I get 6 odd hours of SoT on my N custom ROM so I have no urgency to go to O until its more polished.
Terrible, i updated mine couple of weeks ago and noticed about this battery issue, it drains fast despite of disabling the likes of location, reducing the brightness, bluetooth. i informed samsung about it. Before i used it outside with a (-3 temperature since i live in Finland), it was fully charged 100%. I only used it NOT more than 5 minutes for videoing and taking pictures and that's it, i stayed outside for more than an hour. When i checked my battery it was 56% ! I know that cold temperature diminishes the battery performance but not to extent of that emptying the battery in half:

After I updated to Oreo I had horrible battery life as well... It one time dropped about 20% when the phone was resting with the screen off in the couch.
I disabled everything bixby related. Force closed, uninstalled updates, and disabled in every way possible.
Now I get decent battery life. I live in Sweden, we have -4°c today, and the phone worked just fine even outside. No significant battery drop.

Is Android System percentage higher than normal? And what about screen on time on daily usage?

you can try flash a custom kernel , are you using stock or custom rom ? which firmware?
I'm using the stock version. I'm not that tech expert to modify it although my phone is at developer version. Anything I can do more?
Thanks for your reply btw.

Hi,
just bought the Tab recently and im in love with it.
However, i realised that the battery drains really fast, even if it's just laying around. The battery drains much faster than on my old fire HD 10 from 2017. Anyone else experienced the same? Any tips to improve the battery life on unrooted stock Rom (newest update with one ui 3.1) ?
Anyone else??
I have this exact issue. I haven't been able to pinpoint why it is happening. Only thing in the battery menu is the Google Play services.
I am not having this on my P615 UI 3.1. ~6 hours screen on anf ~9 hours at all.
Any tips and tricks guys
is anybody active in here? smh
I guess this forum is a zombie
Hi all,
With Android 12 CherrishOS rom i got easily through the day with remaing battery at the end.
Recently i upgraded to Android 13, i tried pixel experience plus, but the battery drained from 100 - 0 in a few hours.
I tried Xtended rom not much better.
Now i have pixelUI rom and its a bit better but still much worse than on A12.
On the screenshot you see 15mins of youtube uses 24%. This is insane.
Display uses 33% for 30mins. Display runs at 120HZ, resolution im not sure, could not find it anywhere in the settings.
Anyone has an idea why?
Is it Android 13 or should i try a Oxygen based mod?
Edit: I always factory reset between rom changes.
