My phone out of the blue this morning has started a major battery drain. Within an hour I have lost 30%. I have not installed anything new. I checked Better battery stats and Samsung Setup Wizard has the highest drain and it shows it has not stopped running since I turned on my phone this morning. Is this app safe to uninstall through Titanium backup?
Freeze it instead.

Freeze it instead. Reversible if it turns out to have been a bad idea.

Yesterday I was playing with a bunch of apps. After I was done, charged the phone to full, stopped apps, cleared memory, and went to sleep.
This morning I saw that Android system was using 4% an hour! This is with the phone completely idle. The battery usage screen doesn't show any application being used. I'm sure that it is probably one of the apps that I downloaded yesterday, but I need help identifying which one.
There is no wake at all according to the battery usage screen. Anyone got an idea? Prior to yesterday, my idle usage was only 0.5% an hour...

Was airplane mode on? How was reception?
Airplane mode was never on for my phone. I just turn off Bluetooth and GPS before I sleep. Unless there was an outage that I wasn't aware of, connection quality should've been the same. It always hover between 3 or 4 bars near my bed.

What apps did you install? Have you attempted to uninstall them 1 at a time to see if you can isolate which one is the culprit?

Hi, today i experienced something strange with my s3. I was outside, battery was 16%, i heard the alert for 15%, i took phone to check and was 15% left. After 20 mins, my phone vibrated in pocket like does when you switch off. I checked and was switched off, when i came back i put on charger and turn on and under battery stats is really something drained it, but i'm not sure exactly what or whats the problem. How can i check exactly what app drained the battery like this? I attach a screenshot.
And another thing.... after phone turns off and you turn on, doesn't the battery stats reset ?
As per previous posts use Better Battery Stats .
after phone turns off and you turn on, doesn't the battery stats reset

No, is the i9300 version. I have 2 of them, never had any problem with any of them..
Just today happened this strange drain, now i charged it completely and i uninstalled some apps that i think might drained my battery like this. So far everything is back to normal.
use better battery stats... instead of uninstalling every app you should look for what is causing the drain in bbs and unistall it
My DNA battery has gone crazy. Last night the battery was at 66%, I restarted it and the battery went up to 76%. Today, the battery was at 33%, I rebooted it and the battery dropped to 17%. After that I rebooted it again to see if it would go back up and it dropped to 14%. So I did it one last time and that battery then went up to 24%. I dont get it and on top of that my battery life has been terrible recently.
To try to extend it I have installed Lux to manage the screen brightness, I have turned off backup and Google Location Service.
I got Nova Launcher yesterday to see if that helps, I'm using Greenify to close apps and CleanMaster to get rid of junk. I dont use Google Now or have any apps sync/receive notifications besides Messages and Phone. I can't get through the day and I don't use my phone from 7am to 12 in the afternoon.
I have 25 apps installed from Google Play and all the bloatware and useless apps disabled. I use Next Browser instead of Stock/Chrome
Any solutions or suggestions

Maybe just try to do full cycles with the batter to re-calibrate it, charge it up 100%+ and drain it 99%, rinse/repeat a few times.

Ive read that you arent supposed to drain the battery and this phone is unpredictable for when it will turn off from a low battery.
Sometimes it turns off at 8%, sometimes it might turn off at 2%

You're right about draining the battery however we cannot fully drain these batteries. The system shuts the phone down when it hits a certain level, however you can still power the device back on after it does this, thus the battery still has charge and not fully drained.
And yes they can be unpredictable.
Mine will shut down when it gets to about 5 percent but I was using it one time and it went from 8 to 2 in a second and powered itself down. I think they all act weird when they get really low but your issue sounds like the battery is on its last leg.

According to your battery stats, what's draining the battery the most? Also download GSam battery stats to get a more detailed look at the apps and services that are consuming battery.
Maybe your battery is past its prime, but you want to be sure its not an app or service draining things before giving up.
My Droid 3 and 4 are still going strong as long as I charge them fully and then periodically drain them to 10%.
Hi all, I want just to ask you if my battery drain is normal . I am on stock rooted odexed, stock kernel, s off. See the screen I did

Fast Battery Drain
Hi Frenix,
I also have an HTC ONE MAX. It's new and I've the same problem. IT'S NOT NORMAL FOR 3200mA!! See the screen I did, also if I don't use the phone, the battery drain very fast... (the first 7 hours the I didn't use the phone and it was in airplain mode). When I don't use it, the battery goes down very fast but when I use it, the battery works correctly!! This is Crazy!!! I've tried everything like charge cycles, disable all connections, reset the system to factory settings, and reset the statistics of the battery. It is definitely a sowftware problem, because if the battery is under stress, it works correctly! Consumption is given by 50% by phone on standby or idle and if the phone is also TURN COMPLETELY OFF, it drain faster than the phone turn on. I don't really what's the problem, but is not possible that a 3200mA battery drain in 1 day also if you don't use it. Do you report the same problem?

Looks to me like a wakelock issue. Some application is preventing the system from going into sleep mode. I'm working on the same issue.
When working properly, the phone should only ever be awake when the screen is on.
Use GSam Battery Monitor from the Playstore to see what is eating the battery and go from there. Depending on what ROM and if rooted or not, you can more than likely correct the issue.
calibration
i probed of calibrate the batery??
I'm running Nusense my wake lock was caused by Google Now (search). Try disabling it and see what happens. I used an app called wake lock detector.

Have had this phone for about 2 - 3 weeks. Starting yesterday, I noticed the battery draining abnormally fast. I am not using any email client other than gmail. So basically, nothing in my routine changed. I didn't install any new apps, or started using any apps that I wasn't using before. Essentially, out of the blue, my battery is draining like crazy now. I had to recharge it mid day yesterday, had about 30% left before going to bed, woke up and phone was dead.
This is the s6's battery..i go out at 8 and at 12 my phone shuts down..buy an external pack and youll be fine

The reason I made the thread is because the battery was fine for me until a couple a days ago, now it drains 30% over night and I can barely get through half a day on light use. One problem after another with this phone. I guess I have to do a factory reset.
Booting into safe mode could tell you if the fast drain was caused by a rogue app.
