Update =I have attached screenshot of battery status in second page.Sorry,I was unable to post the screenshot here.
Update - i did factory reset . still it didnt help.
should i take to service center .
Thanks
Does the tab feels warm? which is the highest battery usage app?
I used to have a issue whereby the media scanner service gone in an infinite loop scanning for songs in my device..
Have to hardreset to solve it. Normally my overnight drain is 5%, that is with wifi/bluetooth/gps/notification/background sync all on.
My issue was with Exchange. It was draining 30-40% of the battery overnight. After removing my exchange account I lose ~5%
no i am not using wifi all the time .
At night ts on standby wifi off,everything else is off.
even if i put in airplane mode still it drains .
but using the tab ,battery does not drain.
should i go to service center ??
do you have any apps running in the background? do you exit each application you use or just press the 'Home' button?

Well.. i recommend try hard resetting the device before returning it
When i first got the tab from M1, it ran into battery issues,
but mine is because of media scanner service
And when i connect to android debugger, it shows the media scanner trying to read my music files but failed, it goes in a infinite loop, making the tab heats up
Anyway my problem was solved when i hard reset to factory settings.
Plus i don link any of the samsung apps. (email, or social hubs)

Try pulling out your SD card and reset. Run without the SD card for a day to see if it's any better.

factory reset didnt help at all.i am taking it to service center.
Thanks everyone for help.

I always thought 15% drainage overnight is normal when you were not charging it. as there are many bloatware running in the background.
Anyway, you could install and run Taskiller and you can see Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a lot of background services running.
Not all of those services are useful, like SocialHub, and they cannot be uninstalled, but you can still freeze it with Titanium Backup Pro (a paid app, need root). You could consider other options like force uninstall (with root as well), but it is risky and not recommended.
Nevertheless, plugging your tab to charger while sleeping is good idea as it prolongs the battery life. The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last. Always avoid full-discharging.

I can't post in the development thread so I thought I'd post here. I just flashed Hashcode's latest Jellybean build for the KF a minute ago. I am experiencing some problems and would like to know if anyone could help me with them. First off, the Play Store keeps force closing on me. I am running the 7/11 JB Gapps and that's supposed to fix it. Second, battery life has seemed to me at least, to be less than average. I started counting at 40% and in about 20 minutes it was at 34% and stayed there for a long time. I rebooted and it was at 28% which then almost immediately dropped to 27%. I went through all the settings and disabled any battery drainers I could find such as, background apps running, location services, Gmail notifications, etc. Does anyone know how I can improve my battery life? Before I flashed this rom I was running JackpotClavin's ICS build and that had stellar battery life. (Only need to charge every 3 or 4 days). I tried updating to Hashcode's 3.0 kernel and ROM based off CM9 a couple of months ago and battery life was a issue there too. Please help if you can.
Thanks,

You didn't state what charge your battery was at when you flashed jbean. If you did not have a full 100% charge then you will need to clear your battery stats (when at 100%) and let it discharge fully to have a properly calibrated battery stats.
Not to hijack your thread or anything but i have had some problems with the latest build as well my friend
wifi doesn't want to connect for me.... like it detects the networks and tries to connect to my dlink router but its stuck on obtaining ip address..
i had no problems on the previous build with wifi after the adb fix.
help for both of us would be greatly appreciated.
Umurin94 did u to a clean install or dirty? If u did dirty I'd try deleting the network and adding it again and for the OP if market isn't working go to settings-> apps and clear data on the play store

I installed the first version of Hash's JB after doing a System wipe and I had a number of small issues including Gapps. I finally went back and reinstalled it after doing a Factory Reset. That fixed all of the problems I was having. Of course it wipes your settings and data but for me it was worth it. You might want to try the Factory Reset. I played with the JB all day yesterday and got very good battery life and the charging indicators were working. I really think the battery issues are related to the 3.0 kernel.

My battery was at 40% when I first flashed JB. I'm not sure how to do a battery stats reset, could you tell me how to? I'll try doing a factory reset tomorrow. Is there any way I could backup my apps and then restore them after I wipe it? Kind of a pain to redownload everything

at first i did a dirty install and saw it wasn't working so i wiped everything and even downloaded the rom again and reflashed... i'm still having the same issue.
eventually it says "Avoided poor internet connection" under the networks name but it says the signal strength is Excellent and is 1mbps which is weird.

Just clear the data in the Play Store. Just had that issue when flashing the update. You'll need to login to Google again, but that should be all that's needed. If there's more FC happening, just delete the apps and reinstall them using Google Play and that should take care of it.

Can you send me a "logcat" via "aLogcat" from the market or do this via adb: adb logcat > logcat.txt
and send me the logcat.txt to hashcode0f at gmail.com
No I mean I am going to try factory resetting tomorrow and was wondering if there was a app or utility of some sort that will backup my installed Play apps so I don't have to reinstall everything when I reset. I tried clearing data from the Play Store but it still force closes as soon as I open it.

do you mind helping me do that? for some reason adb shell cmd is giving me "Device not found"
i'll add you on gtalk or something
edit: nvm i see you wanted me to get the app, one sec i'll have to go into recovery to move the apk onto it.
now once i get it on, do i have to try to connect to wifi and then take the log cat?
OK, how do I get to recovery? No go from kfu, adb, goo manager. Am I missing something?

You want to go into TWRP Recovery?
Turn off device
Turn on device, then hold down power button until
a) If you have FFF1.4a a little menu will come up at the bottom and select Recovery
b) If you have an older version of FFF, the power LED will turn orange.
thanks so much. been using kfu for that. knew there was a way.
USB and ADB Mount
Hi, I installed the latest rom doing just a cache and dalvik wipe and could not mount USB or ADB except in Recovery. I reinstalled the rom including a factory wipe and now can mount USB and ADB normally. Everything works beautifully. Thank you Hash.
Ok new issue. USB charging does not work! I tried unplugging and replugging, no go. Only way I can get it to charge is with the AC adapter. Also Hash, how is work coming along on the 3.0 kernel. Will the charging light issues be fixed soon? Not rushing you, just was wondering how much progress is being made.

Ok all. I think I might have fixed the extreme battery drain on this ROM. Turn off location sharing in accounts>your account>maps>location sharing and set wifi settings to disable wifi when in sleep mode. Charge your kindle to 100 percent and do a battery stats reset in TWRP. I am now getting 80% remaining after 20 hours on battery. Hope this will fix the battery problems you might be having.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the tip, seems like turning the wifi off when in sleep mode would be common sense but it definitely went over my head. Saving a ton of battery already!
Hello guys, I've been using the oneplus 2 for about 2-3 weeks now...! When I fast started using it, the battery backup was quite good...I could go on using it without charging for more than a day...but nowadays, the juice gets drained a lot faster.. I have disabled gestures...disabled unwanted apps...I use the dark theme... And WiFi Bluetooth is turned off almost all the time....if it is 60% now...and I just lock it and come again after a minute to check the phone...it will be 55% already...I have a dumped in a lot already...I've used 35 gb storage...have a lot of apps also...but even when it's running in battery saver mode...the battery status reduces real fast...please help...thanks in advance... If there's another thread for this already ...please redirect me there! Thanks

Which os version are you using?
I've got a solution recently and I've tried it and now my battery drain is normal I've got 5 hours SOT now.
Just shut down your device and boot it by pressing the volume down +power button it will take you to the menu from there you have to select language to English then clear the cache and then reboot your device.
That's it. This solution is from the official oneplus support team.
And I can tell you is working shower fine on my device.

i believe it's the google services & location services that kill your battery
pretty common in an un-optimized ROM with stock google play services installed
so, i Second this, Amplify, Powernap & AppOpsXposed do wonder
but also add Greenify to it, paid version offocurse so you can use full xPosed features
6 Hrs ++ SOT and still 15% left... can't ask for more since i would already fall asleep before the phone battery fully depleted, ahahaha
Thanks for the all the suggestions everyone! I'll root my device soon and get to these stuff!
A simple factory reset also does the trick sometimes.

When you first received your S7 edge. Did you do a Samsung Smart Switch to transfer all your data/files from your old phone to new phone, or did you start fresh and installed everything manually after?
I'm asking in terms of battery life. Maybe the old apps/data isn't fully compatible with Samsung's UFS (I came from an S6 edge which is the same thing), Marshmallow, etc. Who knows? I'm trying to find the culprit to this problem. I think the culprit being we backed up and restored our data.
Accounts I have:
2 gmail (1 account is used for my surveillance which goes off like crazy for motion at night but I'm usually plugged up by then)
1 Facebook
1 Samsung
I have a SD820 variant, WIFI usually on throughout the whole day, AOD active, auto brightness at 40%, slight calls and texts here and there; but I'm getting battery drains from somewhere I can't depick and it's doing about 10% every hour and I'm barely touching my phone at work.
Should I factory reset and start fresh?
Screenshots taken just now at 9AM CST.
Update on post 13 with battery life.
I thought about doing that, but I'm so used to starting fresh and I want to get the most out of my device. I'll probably be starting fresh and just let Google restore most of my data, then login to my apps and accounts again.
You haven't received your phone yet or....?
how do i attach screen shots to my posts

I never restore from a backup on a new device (Google backup or Samsung Smart Switch). I always feel it's best to start fresh with a new device and I seem to always have less problems than most people. Remember everyone complaining about terrible lag on the Nexus 5X? Yeah, didn't experience that. Now if I factory reset a device I've already set up fresh before, then I don't mind restoring from a backup.

Do you restore text messages or call logs at least? I don't really need to backup apps. My microsd card is coming in the mail today so I can push all my videos/pictures/data onto there as well.
So it looks like I will try to attempt to factory reset and take another route.

No, I clear out all of my call logs and text messages every month or so anyways. I generally have no need or desire to look over old conversations and if someone texts me something important I move it to Google Keep or wherever it will be relevant.
I want to use Smart Switch tomorrow when I get my phone to transfer apks but now I'm scared lol. I think I'll just go down the list and download the old apps apks by googling them. Cause...lesbihonest, not all app updates are good, so I wrote down their version number before factory resetting my Galaxy S5 lol.
I do want to restore my bookmarks and texts though, but I got over 19k messages, so I think it's best not to? I want to have a good experience on this phone like @gtg465x does.
Ok after trial and error, I did a factory reset and started over.
I only did smart switch on:
Contacts, call logs, and text messages; pictures, and videos on microsd card.
I did not restore apps, system settings, or app data.
My battery life improved significantly.

Lol right he tried to give the appearance of better battery life from a higher "time on battery" but it looks like all he does is take the phone of the charger over night while he's sleep from like 9ish to 10am which gives a automatic 10-12 hours then you start to see his battery dip from usage. His system is still taking 30%+ which is high mine is averaging around 19% and I'm getting 7-8 hours sot.
It is a two charge scenario. I would've made 6hr sot in the other screenshot given 19% remaining. Facebook messenger was pulling the aa good drain so I disabled it. Will continue experimenting...
I am working with a SD820, and been seeing high Android system %'s with a lot of people in the battery thread..
I am a very heavy user and i'm getting 8-9 hours SOT which is absolutely fantastic!

That's crazy, i'm on 48% with 3 hours SOT.
Have screen set to 50%, had it set to 100 for half an hour or so.
No battery saver.
I have also set my theme as a dark theme so the screen uses less energy.
Yesterday before I went to sleep
Does anybody know if we are able to flash any other versions of GApps on the rooted LG V20?
My V20 is from AT&T and since day one it has had terrible battery life. Where I was able to use my Note7 or Droid Turbo all day and still have battery left, the V20 eats the battery charge like Sally Struthers in a See's Candy warehouse. I mean, I have to charge this thing at least 2 times a day when I use it to search the web or any battery intensive purposes. I never had this problem on any other phone. I have been trying to find ways to improve my battery. I used Rom Toolbox Pro to disable all kinds of stuff, and it worked great, until my phone started Grand Mal seizing giving me the Google Play Services has to close notifications, which I then had to factory reset just to get my phone working properly again.
I would like to try flashing a minimal version of GApps that pretty much just has the play store and play store services. Are we able to do this on our V20's without having any issues? If you have any input at all I would really appreciate it.
IMHO it must be an app or two you have installed draining your battery like that. On a full charge I can a whole day and a little in to the next. I am a heavy user too. Are you blasting the brightness at 100% all the time? If so auto brightness will help a little. Go in to setting and see what is using that much drain

I was thinking it might be something I installed, as well. But I can't seem to pinpoint any apps that might be causing the battery drain. I keep the screen on auto brightness like you mentioned so it shouldn't be the screen. GSam almost always shows the Android System and Kernel (Android OS) at the top of the list of battery-draining apps. I love the phone, I just cannot figure out what is going on. I mean, I am not doing anything different than I have on my previous phones, and the V20 seems to be working fine. I thought maybe it is something with Nougat. I will gladly post some pics of app usage or data if it might help figure this problem out.

What rom are you on? Are you on stock white theme? I'm running a dark theme, which can help save a little juice. I'm also running as many team blackout apps as I can (many Google apps) to avoid all the whiteness. Just throwing out some ideas.

Interesting! I have never heard of Team Blackout Apps, they look pretty nice! Yes, I am on the stock ROM just the way it comes. I haven't changed anything at all. I have barely installed any apps just to see if I can find what is causing the battery to drain. Are there any other ROMs that work with the AT&T variant of the LG V20? It seems like they haven't made any yet for the AT&T V20. I am still waiting for Xposed to be released that is compatible with nougat so I can use Amplify.

I don't think there are any roms for AT&T variant atm. I did see an AT&T user flashed the stock deodexed rom by tilde88 in rom section. Not sure of all the details though. I'm assuming you would lose some functionality...would need to flash stock kernel as well.
What is your leading source of battery drain under system usage?

Yeah definitely, I think it is a little bit too early, for me at least, to expetiment with a deodexed ROM. But I know there will be some awesome developments coming out soon. I was so happy to see that a root was figured out for the V20 so quickly after it was released. Until then, I will keep experimenting with the stock ROM.

Hi Swizzle82, thank you for the reply. It is kind of difficult for me to pinpoint what the leading source of battery drain is because the apps seem to bunch all detected processes and wakelocks together. I know that Call Services & Android System show up on top a lot of the time, but since I factory reset the phone today, the stats are minimal compared to what I previously had. WeChat also uses resources, but I used that app all the time on my Note7 and previous phones, even more than I do now, and it never caused a problem. I attached some screenshots from GSam, BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and CPU Spy Reloaded., I don't know if they will help, but just switching between those few apps and taking some screenshots over the span of 6 minutes, my battery percentage dropped from 79% to 76%.

I had android system for a while killing me.. I factory reset and setup every app one by one with no data transfer or anything. Installed every app like it's first install. I charged it til it reached 100 percent, with the phone plugged in, I went to data/system/batterystars.bin and deleted that file and rebooted. It was a long process but it hasn't been an issue since. This was when the phone first came out last month. Never knew which apps data it was but it is gone now.

That sounds like a good idea to try. I will do this today since I already factory reset it yesterday. I would rather do it now before I get further into using it again. I have not heard about this until you mentioned it so maybe there is an issue with app transfers with the V20 causing it. The battery does seem to drain less than before, but it seems like there are still some issues. Thank you for the suggestion!

If you followed did the dirtysanta method, make sure you flash the Konverged kernel for the H918. Or Tilde88's 5.1 kernel for the H918. It worked wonders on improving battery life. Also make sure you disable Lookout - that drains a lot of battery it seemed to me at least. I usually get about a day and a half of battery life when I use my normal amount (which is honestly quite a bit).

Okay, thanks for letting me know! I have not even looked at those kernels thinking they weren't cross compatible with H910. I am going to try it right now with the dirtysanta method. I will disable Lookout, as well. There are a ton of apps that I never use that drain the battery. I will let you know how it goes :good:
Did you own a V10 or other Lg phone prior?

No, I had the Note7 before getting the LG V20. Before that I had a Note 4 and a Droid Turbo. This is my first LG phone and I really do love it. I actually like it more than the Note7, the only problem I have is the battery. I do think that factory resetting and manually installing the apps instead of restoring them will help, and using the Konverged kernel seems promising, from what I am reading.

Yup I always start fresh and install apps manually anytime I reset my phone. I think it's always nice to start fresh - even if it is sometimes a bit inconvenient to go through all the apps you've installed and choosing which ones to install. Hopefully you get it all sorted out!

Okay, I just factory reset the phone, rooted it with DirtySanta, and flashed the Konverged kernel and the phone is NOTICEABLY faster and smoother! This is great! Each time I reset the phone, it had noticeable lag. I just figured it would go away over time, which it did, and that it was because it had to load and download everything since it was fresh. But with the Konverged kernel, it has none of the lag and is silky smooth! Time to manually install the apps I want and disable some stuff I don't need. I will update you guys after I see how the battery is with the new setup Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate all the input!:good:
I need your help! I changed the screen cover sensor to off not realizing that I would not be able to turn off the static after rebooting my phone since the sensor is off. Would somebody please post a few screenshots showing how to navigate to the screen sensor settings so I can tap my way there and turn it back on? I am trying but there is no way to tell where to tap with all the static. Thank you!
Nevermind, I fixed it! I finally navigated to the second screen settings and turned it off when the screen is off and that got rid of the static after I turned the screen off then on again. Note to self, never do that again LOL.

Wow I'm fairly impressed you managed to do all that with the static screen haha - glad to hear it worked out for you in the end.
Get me your stock system.img and boot.img, and I'll make you a modded ROM with a custom kernel!

Haha yeah, I never knew something like that could cause such a huge problem. Now I can't seem to find what I did to cause that in the first place. I have been looking through all of the settings and can't seem to find anything that affects the proximity sensor. On top of that, the screen rotation stopped working, it will not rotate when I turn the phone to the side to type. I have toggled all of the motion and second screen settings, calibrated the motion sensor, and nothing is affecting it. When I turn the main screen off, the sensor does not shut off the second screen when I cover it with my finger, and the phone does not recognize when I rotate the screen. I am kind of at a loss on how to fix it.
