My battery is pretty bad while in standby...
I'm not using the most recent version of WhatsApp that causes drain, and I don't use Facebook.
Any tips on how to improve this?
Try Clear cache from recovery first. If that does not help, try resetting Accessibility settings, Network settings and Settings. Phone will reboot. Check how things goes on.
If you don't see any improvement, you may do a factory reset as a last resort. But make sure to back up all data before resetting.
It's fine. 4.5 hours and you lost 2-3%?
Just use your phone and charge it over night

If your settings are correct back up data and factory reset.

is there a way to backup all the settings i did in gingerbread?
To erase everything ?
Is there anything I could do besides that ?
What if it'll happen again ?
Its only occurres when wifi is on and connected, if not connected everything is fine.

Go in to the advanced settings in Wi-Fi and make sure that Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to "never." There's a problem in 2.3.3 that's supposed to be corrected in 2.3.4 that causes the phone to go a bit nuts trying to put Wi-Fi to sleep.
Setting are fine, thanks.
Any other suggestions before factory reset ?

my phone is also constantly awake when i'm OFF wi-fi. When i'm on wi-fi the phone will not be awake, only when the screen is on. But as soon as i'm off the wi-fi and on mobile data, the phone is always on and won't go to sleep and will drain about 15% of battery an hour from just being idle.
Anyone know any way to fix this other than factory reset?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys,
I upgraded my Exynos Note 3 to Kitkat about 1 month ago, and everything was fine till about 3 days ago when I started experiencing some really bad battery drain. For the last three nights, my phone does not go into deep sleep mode at all. I first noticed this because I usually switch off data and wifi at night. Normally, I'd loose 3% battery overnight, which is good. About two nights ago, I woke up in the morning and I had lost 40% battery (90% down to 50%) overnight! When I checked out the battery stats, "gpsd" had used 80% of the battery.
Since we no longer have batterystats access in Kitkat, I installed the desktop version of WakeLock Detector, enabled USB debugging mode and connected my phone. Phone had basically been awake 97% of the time. Under kernel wakelocks, "l2_hsic" was shown as being the culprit. Now I have searched through various forums online (including xda) to try and find a solution to this. Suggestions vary from home screen replacements (nova launcher) to mobile tracking software (cerberus/findmymobile etc) to generally anything that uses location services. Some even suggest clearing application caches, disabling location services etc. I have tried every suggestion with no change. I uninstalled all mobile tracking apps, turned off location reporting, location history, and eventually location services. I've removed all battery stats apps. I uninstalled all my apps and re-installed them one by one, all with no change. Finally, I backed up my phone and did a factory reset. That seemed to work at first, but after about 3 minutes, "gpsd" was back again, and my phone would not go into deep sleep.
I've done 3 factory resets, and with no google account or samsung account configured, I still get "gpsd" rearing it's ugly head, preventing the phone from going to deep sleep and draining my battery. I'm at wits end.
Anyone know how to fix this? Would appreciate any help!
Anyone!?
OK, so I decided to take out my SIM card, just to see it'd make a difference, and what do you know! "gpsd" no longer takes up CPU time! So this is somehow related to my SIM card? Funny though, coz I'd even tried putting the phone in Airplane mode, but "gpsd" was still taking up CPU time. Does that give anyone an idea as to how this can be fixed?

I'm having exact same issue with my exynos Galaxy S5, shame Samsung.
For the record, my issue fixed itself. Didn't do anything at all. It just went away and never recurred. I'm on the Russian lollipop ROM now, loving it!
Almost a year after the issue fixed "itself"... I have the same problem with my SM-N900 running offical lollipop, Im afraid I cannot wait a year to let the issue fixes itself... and cannot find a solution either.
Anyone that have managed to solve this?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
Yesterday, I switched on the System UI Tuner, specifically the "Show embedded battery percentage" feature. Today, I was on a phone call for about 30 minutes (with screen on) and was not charging at all. Battery level should have been lower than 100% but remained 100%. Rebooted the phone and the battery level is still at 100%.
Anybody else experienced this and/or has a remedy for it?
did you actually check your battery stats? has it moved from 100%? hav you tried turning it off again? there's not enough information here!

The battery stats did not have any information for more than an hour. I turned of the battery percentage feature and the indicator went back to normal.
You sure you didn't turn on Demo mode by accident? System UI tuner allows you to turn on demo mode which will make the battery percent stay on 100%. Try toggling it on and off.

Confirmed it's been disabled. I've never activated it.
Same issue
hey there.
I have the same issue right now. I just got my 6p yesterday and I have no modification installed at all, although i did unlock.
My battery is showing 100% with no individual battery use breakdowns, and I have rebooted twice and still 100%.
Did you solve your issue at all?
I may do a factory reset and see if that helps.
Have the same issue. It started this afternoon.
I had the same problem . I fixed it by going into recovery (stock), wipe my cache partition, and reboot.
I fixed mine also, went into TWRP wiped Delvik Cache and Cache.

hal
fixed
I did the same thing, wiped the cache and a reboot and has seemed okay since. bizarre.
This just happened to me this morning. Was just playing games on my phone for about an hour, then noticed phone still showing 100%. Anyone figure out a sure way to fix this? Tried rebooting.
I've got an old Moto G5+ from my brother, and instead of deleting all his apps and data, I decided to perform a hard reset. That was my biggest mistake. After a hard reset, battery life dropped significantly. The phone tends to lose a lot of charge in standby mode. With 30% left before I go to sleep, the G5+ will be dead in the morning.
I couldn't find out why (no battery-hungry apps in the stats, the issue persists even without user-installed apps) until I've read a post about Wi-Fi affecting battery life from the Moto G5 owner. When Wi-Fi is off, It works fine with no extensive battery drain (I use a 3G/LTE connection instead to surf the web).
I've already tried to:
Calibrate the battery.
Perform another hard reset.
Flash stock firmware. It didn't end well, and I had to use Motorola's Rescue and Smart Assistant, which worked.
Clear cache in recovery mode.
Do one more hard reset in recovery mode.
Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning options in location settings. Too late, I know. But no luck.
I have tried to switch to the Safe mode. That helped to stop the battery drain. But what I need to do next? It doesn't look like a third-party app issue. Maybe I should try to install an older version of the official firmware? I don't want to experiment with custom ROMs (if only an almost 100% stable, but which one to choose?).
Hey everyone. I was hoping someone would be able to help me with this. I've tried searching for this issue but can't find a solution.
Basically over the weekend, I noticed my phone has been running hotter than usual and battery is draining within 3 hours. It gets hot to a point where the phone automatically shuts down. The phone can be just sitting on my desk with the screen off, idle and it's hot with battery draining.
On battery usage graph, it constantly shows that chrome is using 33% of the battery in the last 24 hours. I disabled chrome but the problem still persists. I went into developer mode and cross checked all the system processes and saw nothing unusual. I booted into safe mode as well but the problem is still there. I checked CPU-Z and I see that the processor is never below 50% while the phone is idling. I'm not sure what's using the processor this much that the phone is running hot.
I've uninstalled most apps, I've even turned off the cellular network and wifi but the problem is still there.
I don't see any physical defect or any bulging on the back of the phone or against the screen.
I'm about to factory reset this phone to see if this fixes it, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions before I do that.
Thank you!
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if this helps. Any cloud app is suspect.
Disable Google Firebase. Clearing data in Google system apps may get it.
Is Global power management disabled? Do so if not. Disable any adaptive battery etc services.
Deal with power hogs on a case by case basis.
I would try to find the root cause rather than do a factory reset as it is likely to reoccur. Exceptions; malware, firmware upgrade/update, a 3rd party app that change hidden users settings (if rooted you have access to these... if you can find the altered one). You need to play with it and try to track it down. Get the tools you need to find it ie detailed app/services power usage.
Be careful though as you are burning up the battery. Power off the display once battery temp reaches 103F. Cool it down then proceed again.
Using a damp microfiber cloth will help to cool it.
Any resent upgrades or updates?
Any app recently installed or uninstalled?
What apps are using a lot of internet bandwidth?
Is it using excessive current with screen off too?
What's running at startup?
