I have an LGE Nexus 4 and I just got the 4.4 update a few days ago. I love the update so far, but one thing that really irritates me is:
Battery life! Ever since updating to 4.4, Exchange services is using up more battery than my screen! Other power hungry apps since the update are: Mediaserver, and Android System. (I'm running Nova Launche Prime, that's probably responsible for the android system usage.
I used to come home from school at 5PM with around 35-40% Battery. It's currently 12:45PM and i'm already at 65% :S. Anybody with tops and tricks to help me conserve battery life please do share with my self and the community!
thanks world ( ::cyclops:

I don't think you've provided enough information for us to really tell you. Try getting BetterBatteryStats and then check for yourself what's going on. Sven has fixed it to work on 4.4.
I've experienced the battery to be affected negatively on 4.4 as-well.
For now i turned off the voice command [ok google] which seem to help a bit but still not as good as 4.3.
ITs location services... turn it off and see how much better battery life you get or use device only then check your google services useage
Exchange Push is the issue
I have found that changing my Exchange settings from "Push" to check every X minutes has greatly improved my battery life. It seems to be much more inline with what I was used to with 4.3.
Hope this helps,

Well... I flashed 4.4.2 the other day and I saw my battery plummeting like mad... so naturally the first place I came to was XDA, and saw that a lot of people were having a big problem with battery life.
So I didn't do any battery pulls or anything like that on my N7100, but when the battery went from 85% down to 12% what I did was to turn on everything that I could in order to drain the battery... turned on Data, WiFi, turned off the battery saver etc. etc.
Down at about 6%, I got that alarm with the notification to plug in the charger but I just let it go.
After a while, the phone wouldn't turn on at all... nothing. Nada.
So I plugged in the charger and let it go.
I checked it in about 1.5 hours and it said 100% but the red charging LED was still on so I let it charge for about another half hour and finally the LED turned green.
I turned on the phone and held the power button until the screen flashed three times (About 15 seconds), and let it boot up.
I had 100% charge last nite @ 11:39, and right now on standby (12:45 the next day) I still have 95% on the battery.
Strangely enough, I didn't get one call on this phone all day... but when I don't answer my Note 2, people just try the other number on my iPhone 5s.
Granted, I never leave the WiFi on or data... but I have the stock ROM with all the crapware that it has... but I flashed that French version of KitKat off of that site that I won't mention (But it's that one that if you're not a paying member, it takes you half a day to download anything).
Pretty happy with KitKat stock rom so far, but that first few hours when when I saw my battery sucked dry before my eyes was pretty disconcerting.
Hi! It is a first for me to post a thread here at XDA. I really need your help regarding this battery issue on my S7 Edge Exynos (Factory-Unlocked). The first time I got this device I was very impressed the camera, screen and most specially the battery life - hands down for this device. But I had an issue on my first device and the Samsung Service was able to replace it - the first device got a stuck pixel and then the replacement unit got another issue, another pixel problem. So, Samsung Service did is to replace the screen, actually they replace most of it to make it short they only transfer the internals from another new phone - the motherboard, camera, and battery even the back panel is new. Then after I got the unit and updated the OS to Marshmallow 6.0.1. April 2, 2016 security patch level I notice that it drains battery faster that the first time I got the device. I guess a 8-10% per hour when using it on LTE, locations off, sync off, auto-brightness on. Then what I did is visit Samsung Sevice to let them check the device, they hooked it up on their pc and run a diagnostic test and no battery problem found. I was wondering if my battery usage is normal. I was not a techy guy but I just compared it before it got fixed from 100% to 99% it drains I guess for 2-3 minutes and a screen time is 3-4 hours max and 15 hours on battery. Really appreciate your help! Thank you! By the way the apps I regularly use are facebook, instagram, twitter, social messaging apps and most of the time web browsing on chrome.
Paragraphing? Search? Did you try? Follow the links, read...
Yes been trying to search regarding this issue and found some but does not directly answer the issue on my device. Anyway thanks.
Facebook is a well known battery drainer, maybe install GSam from the play store and monitor what is draining the battery the most.
Okay will take note on that. Thanks alot!
I had really crappy battery lifetime and it drained juice like hell! I made sure wifi and bluetooth was off when sleeping(screen off). Tried every guide ive found but newer got to the root of the draining problem.
I did an factory reset and the problem was GONE. Now I have 1,8%/hour drain with normal usage included bluetooth headset connected, and 50% brightness with batterysaving enabled. kept 100% after unplugging from fastcharging for 1hour without usage.
If u struggle, try a factory reset! its simple, and if u have backup it doesnt take long to recover!

Look at your firmware version. If it ends in APD1 or higher, then battery drain is a known issue that can only be fixed by downgrading to APC8 or lower. In battery stats, if Android System has double digit (12%+) drain then you have APD1 or higher and the known battery drain issue.
Okay thank you! really appreciate your advices.
Hi,
My Samsung S8 since last upgrade to Oreo was a complete disaster. Just to be clear battery life during Android Nougat was good and it was the first thing ive noticed that samsung completely stepped up their game since their battery disaster on their certain phone model. Battery life would run at least from a day to 2 before recharging. Ive noticed there are other threads similar to these so i knew im not the only one affected, my colleagues also experience similar issues since upgrading to oreo so this is not something isolated to my s8 phone.
Few key points that ive noticed since upgrading to oreo:
1. Going to settings then battery usage. Screen would be the foremost battery hog at 26%, followed by Android System at 13%, then Device Idle at 9-8%. Cell Standby and Android OS remains normal.
2. Go to Settings then App. Ive noticed by checking each one of the apps that beaming services, device maintenance, settings, gear vr services were among the ones that took up most of the battery usage this is excluding system apps like AASAservice, etc.
3. Go to settings then data usage. The Android OS is sending or receiving 100MB of data (still counting). I wanted to know what are these data that is worth 100MB.
4. Device easily gets hot even light use of facebook, ig or 7 minutes of youtube video.
5. It sometimes restart, this is rare but ive noticed it since fingerprint cannot be used initially when there's a restart.
Now what ive done so far:
1. Cleared partition cache by holding bixby btn, volume up and power.
2. Disabling unused apps, even certain bixby services, etc.
3. Went to developer option and disable always on mobile data.
4. Factory reset device hoping it would go back to nougat but it did not. With a mint condition reset, it still drain too much battery. (without any third part apps or data restore)
5. Called up samsung customer service but was told to go to service center. Went to service center they check the ASOC of battery (which i think is unrelated) and according to them reprogram oreo. which did not help. wasted my time.
Now what is the implication?
1. I need to charge my phone at LEAST twice a day.
2. It heats up the phone which would definitely have negative impact on the longevity of this device one way or another.
3. It drains too much battery, with the amount of charge discharge multiplied at least by 2, this will literally messed up the battery life in the long run.
4. Im currently using 2 phones and my samsung s5 which is a 4 year old phone had better battery life. lol. Since in just 3 hours it consume almost 40% of battery.
There are tons of related post like these on different forums and on reddit but i surmise i should dig more on this problem before writing a more concrete post. At this point, i can only see 2 remaining options: 1. There is a step online that would revert the OS back to nougat but this would involved third party apps like odin, there are risk involved like phone brick, etc. Im not sure if it will void the warranty. OR i can just wait for a patch from samsung.
Now SAMSUNG NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP or provide us a way to revert back to nougat. With the s9 just available at the market, this terrible oreo release could not come at better time. I know there are several issues like the battery issues with their previous note model and Apples intentionally slowing down their phone, Samsung got to fix this fast before this issue becomes a blowout and many people will start to notice.
There are several threads about this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/to-to-fix-battery-drainoreo-t3771716

Man, i´m totaly on same boat!
In CRC7, i'm experiencing terrible battery life. Max 2.00 to 2.30 Screen on time in one charge. Now, for the first time, i have to recharge my phone befoure dinner.
Wifi , Bluetooth, Aod On, location history Off.
It´s the worst experience on any phone that i had in the past.
Like you, already disabled some apps, clear cache and already done a fresh install. Nothing works, nothing improved my battery.
I´m thinking send it to warranty, but it´s probaly not worth the time...
Maybe it´s time to forget about Samsung phone and move on. P20, or even iPhone X...
After updating to OREO and updating all galaxy apps, "beaming service" was draining my battery (67% of the battery actually). After uninstalling the updates on beaming service, the phone seems fine now. Maybe uninstalling the updates of which apps are draining the battery could help you guys as well.

ive tried that before but after fresh install. beaming service could no longer be disabled, nor its updates uninstalled.
Besides other apps are also draining battery like AASAservice, settings, device maintenance, etc.
I received an update yesterday for the CRC7 March security patch.

You're right, that can't be disabled but I was simply able to uninstall the updates by clicking three dots top-right corner of app info screen. I've the latest version CRC7 on the phone by the way.
Hello !
I've been s8 for three months and I've never had any particular problems, I've upgraded to CRC7 (second update of Oreo) and I've already got twice the phone with a flat battery:
last week in the morning I found it at 1% from 35% the night before (during the night only the gsm network was active, everything else off); when in doubt I did a factory data reset by installing only minimal applications (FB, whatsup and little else) and I installed the Accubattery application to monitor the battery.
Last night put away (active gsm only) at 65% of residual charge and this morning after 10 hours it was 5%: 60% of charge consumed in one night.
Android does not report any abnormal consumption of any application .... it seems an anomalous battery drain
I enclose battery data screenshots; is not that the new Oreo update is buggy? or could the battery or the phone power circuit or the radio part that consume excessively might have a problem? Before bringing it to service I wanted your opinion and in case I wanted to try to put back the CRB7 version of Oreo .... how do I do it? do I lose the guarantee in this case?

I have the exact same problem as you and many others. I have tried various things to solve it and I concluded on that the modem firmware has a serious bug . airplane mode consumes more battery than on cellular. To make sure we are talking about the same thing please try removing your SIM card and let it all night . By the morning you have to be -2% of the battery . With the SIM inside now you have to drain 15-20% . If thats the case for you , you make sure that its not a faulty device and there is no drain from your setup (like an application draining etc .. in this case factory reset should fix it).
Cinfirm your findings and lets hope they will release update soon.

It drains in general but while in cellular it's difficult to distinguish if it's a bug or bad signal . Each ones phone may consume different amounts of energy depending on coverage etc. But in airplane mode you can be sure it's a bug because antenna transmission should be off and therefore not consuming energy . Just try as I said just to be sure we have the same issue . One night with airplane mode and SIM card in and another night airplane without SIM. You should see great difference .

Tonight ( gsm on ) have no drain : 0,3 % / h. ( 3 % in 10 hours ).
if it is faulty the battery should always do it?
Did you try to see if it drains, leaving the radio part active?

This will not help determine the bug because as I told you it's signal dependant. It's 3% in 10 hours because you probably had good signal . Else it could be more and even if you contact a service they will say it's not a bug but the signal . Anyway if you were with data on and 4g seems more than fine to me . Now if you try this night airplane mode for 10 hours it could drop 15-20% ... is this reasonable ?

Your case seems more like a random application wakelock . Did you do a reboot between the 2 nights?
To distinguish better the cause of the drain , when you see an abnormal consumption try removing your SIM card for a while . If this fix the drain it's the buggy modem/radio firmware ...
Hey all,
One of the things I've noticed since first using android on the original galaxy S (Sprint / Evo and Epic 4G) is that android seems to lag super hard after about 6-12 months. This also seems to coincide with crazy battery drain. The problem is that this doesn't seem to be hardware or even OS version-specific. It's happened on every single one of my android phones since 2010. Every year i get a new phone and think that it'll be different this time, but every year the lag and battery drain appears again after around 6 months of use. When I do a hard reset it's solid and responsive for around 6 months again, then the lag and battery drain comes back.
Specifically, the lag is the type where you hit the home button or open the google search app and it takes between 2 and 15 seconds to actually open. This is especially bad when using google maps in the car. The phone sometimes takes upward of 10 seconds to respond to things unless i reboot and force close all apps (and then the lag comes back after an hour or so).
The battery drain is where I regularly drain 40-90% of my battery life within 3 hours, sometimes with minimal screen on time. Most recently, I had my phone screen off for 3 straight hours on wifi with bluetooth and GPS on and battery drain was about 7-8% per hour. A look at the battery stats often reveals that top battery drain processes include, "Android System," "Android OS," "Google Play Services," "Phone Idle," and "Screen."
The only thing consistent since 2010 is the use of an SD card and some of the apps I have installed. I've removed the SD card and it still lags though, so I'm thinking it's probably a rogue app? The thing is, when you go to battery stats, there aren't really any high-cpu-usage apps there that would explain either the high battery drain or the lag. And I dont think Android N allows us to track CPU usage of individual apps, so I cant even use a battery stats app to figure out what's hogging the CPU.
Anyone else have any experience with this? Any ideas would be super helpful. Thanks.

Hi. I'm currently looking into this with my V20 H910. I've had decent battery life on my phone until a few months ago. The past few weeks I'm charging my phone about 3 times a day because of the battery drain. I disabled auto-sync, uninstalled some pull-type apps but nothing helps. I've charged my phone to 85% (recommendation for battery life according to accubattery app) and when I wake up the phone is completely dead. During the day I'll have it next to me with the display off and I'll lose around 50% battery in a couple hours.
If anyone out there can help I'd / we'd appreciate it!!!
Going to move this thread to the V20 Q/A section so hopefully you guys get some more help. I have a V20 myself and don't have these issues.

The best app in the world to figure out battery drain exists thanks to one of the members here who has been banging away at it for over seven years.
It's called better battery stats. This is the only app that gives you half a chance of figuring out where the drain is occurring.
You've been on XDA since 2007 ? high time you check it out

The drain is high but why did you have GPS on with the screen off. See, its hard to tell if that is normal or not depending on what GPS was doing.
What's your drain like with screen off, on wifi & bluetooth and no GPS
Has anyone else noticed battery drain after the most recent security update?
My 6p also seems to have issues locking on to the carrier network...
seriously considering a downgrade....
Just changed my battery about 2 weeks ago and was getting phenomenal battery life, and have pretty much immediately noticed a difference...
yes. I have just replaced the battery in my 6P this Monday. Battery wasn't lasting half of a day with average use.
The drain seems diminished since the new battery, but not by a lot. It also still heats up more than it ever did.
(this is my second 6P... the first one was traded in under it's original two-year warranty when this behavior turned from annoying to the phone being completely useless. It would have an apparent "rapid drain" and shut down spontaneously, and on reboot, the battery would show just about where it was before. It could be as high as 40% and exhibit this behavior.
I love this phone, but it's rapid deterioration is making it just another heap of very expensive toys with a planned obsolescence. Disappointed in Huawei and Google )

My sister's 5X (same gen as 6P of course) now has the problem.
Under Settings > battery & developer options > active services it's not really clear what's happening.
It could be Device Health Services (logs battery usage), or com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel, but you'd think such a thing ought to be active all the time (RIL is for baseband, the cellular network modem)
It might also be that the banking app that uses NFC gives a problem. But killing that app did not drastically reduce the temperature of the phone.
Same thing, was thinking my battery was beginning to fail. If someone finds a fix, please post it here.
I have crazy battery drain on WiFi.
I tried to boot on Safe Mode and still the battery drain was present so it's safe to assume it's not some app that's causing it.
I also thought this is my battery going bad but when I switched to 4G the battery drain stopped and my battery life became as it used to be.
AccuBattery reports 92% battery health which is darn good for a 2 year old phone.
The battery drain happens only on WiFi.
Tried LineageOS 2 weeks ago and still same battery drain on wifi.
This drive me nuts.
I tried going back to september security patch after I faced this issue as there was no problem at all regarding battery life before updating, but it did not improve the now worst battery life. Standby is very good, not even single percent drop overnight.
Same here on my Nexus 6P, this was caused by November 5th 2018 update. I was getting 3 days of battery life with my usage, and after this update I get ~12 hours with almost NO screen time. Google needs to fix this.

I have noticed exactly the same after the November update. For example, yesterday morning I charged the battery to 100%, this morning it was down to 52% with hardly any usage. The battery used to last for 4-5 days with pre-November OS versions.
I have yet to try with WiFi turned off. I'll re-charge the phone soonish and switch wireless off to see if it helps.
I found a way to recover ~60% of usage time:
Settings > Location > Scanning > Wifi & Bluetooth Scanning OFF
Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Automatically Select Network OFF + Select your primary network manually
Settings > Google > Nearby > Turn off
With that I have 80% of my pre-november update battery capacity. If anyone can help me complete this answer, this would be highly appreciated

I did all these, force-stopped a few apps which were showing in the battery stats and re-charged back to 100%. This seems to have helped. It's now been 22 hours and the battery is showing 80%.
Yep. I had this issue with oreo. Only way i solved it was going back to nougat. I did a fresh installatiom of it several times and everything was laggy and i immediately noticed the battery drainage too. I went back to nougat and everything worked smoothly, battery was lasting a lot longer too.
Any comments on December build battery life?
