[Q] Recent Random Battery Issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi,
I have been using the same ROM (cm9.1.0) for about a month now, and just yesterday I realized I was getting horrible battery issues. Nothing has changed recently so I'm very confused. When I look at the battery option on settings, I see the phone process taking 62% of the battery life (when you first open the screen it's called sec-ril then changes to Phone), compared to the screen which is at 15% and everything else which is at 4% or less. Battery life is absolutely horrible now for a reason which I don't understand. I am using UCLF6 on 4.0.4 but I don't know what would have caused the recent change. I would post a screenshot but my screenshot thing is apparently not working at the moment. By clicking the phone process it says "CPU Total: 3h17m14s, CPU foreground 1s, Keep awake 2m 34s, Included Packages: SIM Toolkit, Phone/Messaging Storage, Phone). It may be helpful (or not) to know I have probably used the phone for 10 mins or less the whole day and all of the texting I do is done through Google Voice (as well as most calls).
Thanks if you can provide any help.

I think its obvious you have apps keeping your phone awake. That one was a real head scratcher.

can someone tell me how to fix this all I did was make one phone call that was less than one minute and didn't do anything else and this happened

Try rebooting your phone first and see if it persists. Then repost your battery stats by kernel wakelok.
from a galaxy far far away....

I have started seeing this(sec_ril process draining my battery) too. Sometimes only. Did anyone figure out how to fix it permamnetly.Wiping caCHES fixes it for a few days and then it comes back. I install nigtlies by wiping everything including internal sd card

I just had this start on me within the last day, day and a half, Phone is using 100% CPU forever. Rebooted, checked APNs, etc... Going to try clearing cache although AFAIK that has nothing to do with such things, might try reflashing...
Well, I don't mind eating words sometimes. I had rebooted a few times which didn't help, but wiped cache in TWRP and sec-ril has stopped its nonsense.

Mine started doing this a day after installing CM9.1. I literally have nothing installed on my phone. 20 minutes of usage after being fully charged and it's down to 83% battery, with "Phone" using up 61% and Screen 23% (I'm on minimum brightness). Wth :/

Battery Issues

My SGP5 battery has been wacky since day one. First few days I didn't think it would charge past 80%, but I found if you charged it overnight it would hit 100% (that's after an 8 hour charge to 80%).
Today it showed 100% all day. I booted it and now shows 30%. The settings battery status does not show actual time on the lower scale. Like I said I was at 100% all day, and the chart goes up to a 100% peak, but doesn't flatten or go down.... as if the battery clock stopped (not there is such a thing).
Can't do a battery pull... could rooting solve this issue? At least you can do a calibration with root. I just don't want to root if this will be fixed in an update. But I really don't like not really knowing how much battery is left.
I have a similar issue. It seems random- I use it all the time and literally 1/2 of the overnight charges I put it through it gets to either 80% or 100%. What I've noticed is that even when it says 80%, it still performed as if it was fully charged.
I rooted my device a few days after I got it and I honestly didn't notice the issue until after I rooted my device. So it may be different for you.
I'm not rooted. Have you tried something like: http://www.appbrain.com/app/battery-calibration/com.nema.batterycalibration or manual calibration deleting the battery stat file? I'll gladly root if it solves this problem.

Same here, mine has all the same problems and also the Horizontal calibration never settles

To show how squirrely battery charging is, I monitored with Battery Monitor Widget and looks like this, one charge overnight without unplugging:
(each grid line is 1 hour, little over 1 day shown, screen was NOT on during charging)

You could try to reset the phone but you will have to reinstall all your apps so I would use the backup feature before you try it. If that doesn't work then you would be better off exchanging it if you are within the 14 day return policy.
the est time remaining is a dynamic estimate, it will change depending on use. i've read that it could have something to do with google accounts constantly syncing if you are experiencing poor battery life. a reset seems to fix it for now, i would try that, and if it's still poor, exchange it like bjd223 says..
Well, it hasn't been charged since but it's showing 9 since last charge and 9 hours remaining with 35 percent left. That initial amount was disconcerting though.
like i said, it's all dynamically changing and is based upon the usage pattern of the last poll, so if you were using the device heavily and then went to check the battery saver stats, it would base the est time remaining on as if you were using the phone in the same way until the battery died. if you start using it less and then go back and check (like i'm assuming you did) it will give you a new estimate based on that usage pattern. i've had it tell me i have 50% left and like almost 2 days of time remaning.
android's battery graph works in a similar way, it just shows you more detailed information of what's using your battery.
Agree with @adiliyo that the phone battery status will keep changing on how you are using your phone. I get around the same time as my lumia 900 and sgs2 which is anything between 13 -19 hours depending how I use it ( I am used to overnight charging).
Some Battery Culprits
Nokia Drive Beta + ( If you open this when closing it is suggested to keep pressing the back arrow key until you reach homescreen to exit it properly
Background Tasks - Disable whatever you don't need to in the settings menu
Email Sync - Try using a longer duration ( I use one hour for four email accounts )
and I always switch WIFI or Bluetooth off when not in use.
And Poor Network Signal will always drain your battery as the phone as to work harder to get a proper signal also resulting in the phone getting hotter especially during browsing

Galaxy S3 Battery Drain Problem

Hey Guys,
I just bought my S3 couple of weeks ago. It's performing quite well, but today, I noticed that my battery starting to drain very fast. Surfing internet for few minutes could drop the battery down 2-4% and even when the device is idle. The device is on stock rom jelly bean (maybe JB could be the problem?). I tried factory reset, wipe cache partition though. Not sure if this is normal or abnormal.

Download betterbatterystats. Helped me the other day when my phone kept having its kernel waked. Also disable sync on any apps you dont want, switch bluetooth off, wifi, etc

use the better battery stats app from the play store man it'll show you whats draining your battery so fast:good
Download "Watchdog" and set it to monitor all processes including system ones to see which ones have the highest cpu usage.
Also download "Cpu Spy", and reset the timer in the setting and then leave the phone for an hour, deep sleep should be between 95-98% any lower and you have an app waking up your phone.

[Q] Crazy battery drain

Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.

Mate 10 pro battery drain

I have a Mate 10 pro with very high battery drain. During the night 6-8hours it can drop from 100% to in worst case 75%.
I have done many factory resets and just installed basic apps (for me). Up til now I've been used dual SIMs. But this morning I removed one of the SIMs to see if that makes any difference.

To start with, Google Services (in their fifteen million different flavours) will chew through a lot of battery power in the first couple of hours after a factory reset.
Secondly, have you tried doing a tiered installation of your non-standard apps, to see at which point the battery starts going South? It may be that one or more of your apps don't know how to run properly under Oreo? I'd be paying particular attention to Samsung's apps, as their programmers have never been known to care about how the software will run on non-Samsung devices.
Thirdly, have you investigated why the apps which were auto-launched, were auto-launched? If (for example) Slides was auto-launched because you were looking at a presentation from an e-mail, then fine - but I've encountered apps in the past which keep trying to re-start themselves for no valid reason (most notably apps which try to maintain ad revenue even when you're not using them).
Finally, though the signal strength on your screenshots would indicate that you have decent coverage, if you're in a borderline area and the 'phone is having to constantly switch between LTE/UMTS/GSM just to remain connected, that will chew through a lot of battery without anything worthwhile to show for it. If this is the case with either of your SIMs, try forcing that SIM to remain on a single standard (for example, limit it to just UMTS/GSM); that helped me in the past with an Asus PadFone 2 and the rather pathetic carrier I was using at the time (yes, it was Optus).
This is happening to me as well. Started a few days ago, maybe a week I think. All of a sudden, out of nowhere. No apps draining battery. 20% ish drain during the night. Seems like there are many users having this problem the last week after a quick google search.
Last night I went to bed at 2:00. The battery started to drain from 5:00-10:00. No apps have been draining battery during this time.
