very short batter life - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks.
I'm running the most recent resurrection remix (oreo). Battery life is really, really bad.
Is this a known issue w/ RR oreo? Any workarounds?
Thanks!

What is your screen on time ? How are you using your phone which apps, brightness...) ?
I'm getting in my case 3 to 4 hours SOT but if I only watch videos and movies I get 6 hours.

Dude, I'm battery psycho, and I usually do a lot of tests using my battery. I bought a brand new battery this week and can tell you the results:
Original battery (almost 3 years old): Antutu battery app gave me about 4500 and something of score. I always use less than 40% screen brightness, got 1% drop in 2 minutes on wifi web surfing, sending text, etc (watching offline videos or streaming usually gets me 1% drop in 5/6 minutes). Playing games (stranger's wrath, don't starve pocket edition, space marshals 2), gets 1% drop each 1 and half minute. I've tested the cronometer, got 1% drop each 3 minutes only running him alone. When I charge the battery until 100%, the percentage drops by 1% in 3 minutes.
Brand new battery (not genuine). Antutu battery app gave me about 5100 and something of score (not too much of difference, but its made a change on my usage). On the same situation above, wifi web surfing and etc got 1% drop each 3 minutes, watching offline videos or streaming 1% drop each 6/7 minutes, playing games (stranger's wrath, don't starve pocket edition and space marshals 2 again) 1% drop each 2 minutes or 2 and a half minute, cronometer got 1% drop each 8/9 minutes (WOW), battery 100% to 99% in 5/6 minutes.
Not a huge difference, but I'm having more SOT now, so I'm very happy with this "Korean battery mounted in China" haha.

I've had battery high drainage and game lagging issues on LineageOS and RR ROMs. So I decided to keep this garbage stock ROM.

I don't get anything close to 3-4 hours SOT. In fact, this morning the phone went from 45% to 15% in about 90 minutes without being used at all (it was running youtube, but had casted to a chromecast, so the phone itself should not have been busy).

Yeap....I'm not so happy too with mine [emoji58]
But other batteries (not samsung) seem to have better performance and capacity. That's sounds strange said like that but this is the case I guess....

You can expect from a rawpower battery like..5 hours SOT if this guy is right.

[Q] Batttery level fallen from 50% to 0%

I bought a new Nexus 10. After the first charge my device shut off at 50% battery level. I had it connect to the charger and must wait a few minutes until I can turn it on again.
I looked at my battery level which now shows 0%.
Maybe my battery is bad? Should I replace the tablet?

Hello
I had the same issue with my first charge so I immediately tel the Google sav and they tel me to see if happen again and if it happen to tel and send them the nexus .
So I have made some cycle of battery and it did not happen again . so wait and see . maybe it is the calibration of the battery at the first utilisation ?

I've had this just happen to me yikes! But I have a feeling this is normal as how can a device that has been sitting on a shelf for months still have 97% battery charge? This is what mine showed on first start up,Going to leave it on charge overnight and see how it fares from then on.Hopefully its just a glitch.
Something that might solve you battery drain. Discharge your tablet. Try turn it on to be sure it's zero. Then charge it at max. One ce it's done you have to calibrate your battery with battery calibration from Nina.
There is plenty of tutorials on the Web

Yeah I've used that before on a smart phone.Anyway have recharged and am now sitting at 25% left after 4hrs 45 of on screen time but I did have the Google search wake lock happen all night so taking that into account seems about par for the course.
Hm wakelock are sources of battery leaks. Many people advice not installing or removing Google search.
Btw what's your ketnel and rom?

Everything is stock 4.4.2.
Have the Wifi sleep/off? I notice that when wifi is on when tab us asleep, the battery level doesn't account for wifi power use. The wifi draws power and so even if the indicator looks like it has been in sleep, it hasn't which and the wifi is draining battery. Try it.
Hm beside calibration, optimize kernel through governor tweaking and monitoring wakelock and partial wakelock I don't see how you could improve it. Maybe it comes from the bztrery

did not see it mentioned, but one app that has helped me very well has been Wakelock Detector from the playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
might help you to see if there is something (another wakelock) that is draining your battery heavily. Even of you are not rooted, there is information linked from the playstore.

Hmm - I think this looks promising.
Got my Nexus 10 on 17th Feb 2014. Battery showed approx 100%. I updated to 4.4.2 asap. Exactly same thing happened to me - reached 49% after 4 -5 hours of watching TV - tablet then shut down without warning. Had to connect charger and battery level was showing 0%. Charged it overnight - hopefully the battery calibration was out by 50% due to probable long shelf life.
Has your problem manifested itself again? I was on the verge of doing a factory reset but I'm tempted to hold off for now after your comments.
No since the initial shut off it has been fine so I think its normal for it to shut down on first use.

Bad SOT

Hi there,
I know that the topic has been dealt with countless times, but despite having asked and posted screenshots 2 or 3 times on dedicated threads, I couldn't get an answer. So I open my own thread hoping to draw attention
My S7E is the exynos one ,free from branding and never rooted and on the latest FW BPHJ. I have a hard time achieving decent SOT. My usage is mainly listening to podcasts (2h20 per day), few calls or sms. One thing, I have bad signal at office or home (1 or 2 bars). I know that it impacts the battery. Andoid OS and Android system are toping the list usually and on the below screenshot Google Play too because of MX player (certainly the ads). Something surprises me though, it's the amount of data consumed by the Andoid OS ! Please take a look at the below screenshots, and give me your feelings if you please
Thx guys.

Does your phone run hot ? And also if its hot while charging.
My advice to you is disabling fast charge because heat degrades battery very fast. I am rooted with stock firmware and i can get 8 to 10 hours sot constant usage. Have you ever gotten more than 3 hours sot?
Find AOD in app manager and uninstall its updates and force stop it even if you never used it before. And remove anything oculus. Replace facebook messenger with messenger Lite.
Had bad battery life but now im back at 7hrs SOT easy.

I do not use fast charge on a regular basis. Only when I forgot to charge it overnight I give it a quick boost and disable it just after. It's sometimes hot when I use it but not so often.
Yes I have already got 5 hours SOT but it did not occur many times.

Bad Battery
Hi all,
I am only able to get about 2.5h of dot within the day. I got my Mi5s month ago and the only thing that helped me, was playing a lot with amplify (4h Sot were possible then). But nearly all application which makes a device smart won´t work in background anymore.
I hoped that updating to nougat will fix. But today... I am at 1h42min dot and only 27% left after 10.5h of use. I only listen to amazon music (over 3G) for about 2 hours. Some surfing, some whatsapp and i use my samsung gear s2.
Greenify is running. I also freezed qfp with titanium backup.
I don´t know what to do. Some time ago I tested the device with only whatsapp running... Got same results.
I ordered a new Mi5s through gearbest. Will arrive in the next 2 weeks. I hope my device is a little broken.
We wait new screenshot

I'm trying to save a bit of battery by setting up a Tasker profile to switch to 2g when screen is off and back to 4g when on. It seems possible to do this by changing global preferred_network_mode1 but the changes don't take effect without rebooting. Anyone have a smart way of doing this? I'm running LOS

Solid
Second day, almost 6hrs SoT and still 35% battery left.
Can we maybe also add what apps we're usually using (what apps use most of the battery)? This would be pretty interesting to know.
The sot's doesn't look really well. Or are you guys only played games? For a 4000mAh battery with Snapdragon 625 should be more possible.
Bit different, but I did an hour test of streaming youtube on WiFi (everything else closed, sync off, stamina off, etc) with medium brightness and medium audio through speaker.
It lost only 7%, so looking at 14 hours watching YouTube in this way
Pretty good I reckon.
In general use the couple of days I have had it the battery seems really good.
Edit... After a couple more days use my typical Screen On Time is approx 10 11 hours for general usage (mainly on WiFi)
Hi guys , this is what I've got in 2 days of use

Lol, I really am a light user, I've only charged it once in 7 days since the initial full charge. I get 5 days between charges so I'm loving the big battery, it's surprisingly light too.
11hr15m SOT. Coming from Pixel this is unbelievable.
3 days, amazing
Third charge. Stock system, running Octobre update.
Brightness set manually during usage, everything ranging from 5% to 100% when outside.

Hi, May I ask you how do you manage to get 6-8 SOT because I have the phone since a week with global ROM installed and I get around 4 hours ( the same I had also before with Chinese ROM)

4 hours is reasonable, person with 6-8 hours SOT will highly likely have different usage to you.....
Turn brightness down, install another kernel, don't use high demanding apps as much, close and turn things off when not using, use power saving apps etc
I can't believe that my mi mix 3 has only 3200mah battery

I also had battery issues. Sas barely.using phone and in half a day telephone asked for.charging. whaat i did was disxharge to shut down then charge to 100% without turning on the phone. It helped a lot. Ove read aomewhere that this method is food once a year for phone battery because it helps to calbrate the energy levels in the battery.
Also it.is good. to use as dark pixels.as u can becausw.the.brighter the more.energy ia going to be used.
Also disable.services you dont need(wifi,gps,mobile data,nfc, bluetooth background processes, anything thhat is using your battery energynto.work.
With advices in this.thread you can prolong your battery by like 40%. Can confirm that it.helped me.
Just do.some reasearch on enerfy saving in a smartphone.

I've got mine for around 3 days and the battery don't last even half a day, it usually lost 10% in 2h. while in idle, I have AoD, Bluetooth and data, but I'm quite sure that it's not normal.

I have MIUI 10 Global Stable, last update.
In the meantime I turned off AoD and now it's fine, I've found out that the screen never turn off even when inside the pocket.
I was able to get 6 hours of sot
I recommend disabling the option to use adaptive battery, at least it improved here after I deactivated it.
On PE I was able to get 8 hours of SOT right now I'm testing out AEX seeming it was March security patch I'll keep you guys updated on it
Edit: same with PE around 8 hours of SOT
