Yep. I barely touched my phone today and only had 30 minutes of screen time. The Android OS kept my phone awake for 4 hours. My phone made it 15 hours only because when I went to the store I plugged my car charger in. My battery dropped from 15% to 1% in a little over a hour without me picking it up.

You try clearing data on Google Play Services and Google Framework.. Then disabling " always scanning" under WiFi advanced. Then if your daily use allows turning your GPS/Location Settings to Battery Saving or GPS Only?
That should fix your Android OS from killing that battery

You can easily increase the battery life quite a bit by rooting the phone ( assuming you're not on KitKat) and installing no frills cpu which works as the paid set cpu on this phone. See

Everyone talks about battery savers and settings and such (which is a good thing) but maybe the battery is just going bad? Check that battery and make sure it dont have any swelling or indications like that. New ones are like maybe 7 to 10 bucks on amazon.

I was rooted and I tried following a guide to upgrade and keep root but I lost sound and the ability to make calls. The only way I knew how to fix it was do the OTA update. Apparently to get sound back I had to do something that wasn't included in the step by step instructions.

Something was keeping your phone awake...nothing to do with overall battery life of the phone. I actually believe its a 4.4.2 bug as it happens to me quite often. Not sure what causes it but if I see battery is draining and Android OS is on top...a simple reboot fixes it for the time being.

It's definitely a bug of sorts to do with WiFi and how Location is handled from what I've read. The phone can get in a wake lock. Need root so you can freeze apps and run a wake lock detector and track things down.

Hey guys please help. I barely use my phone and the battery still drains very quickly. If I charge it up to 100% before I go to sleep and then unplug it, by morning it is at 50%. The only sync option I have on is Gmail mail. I have 4G and wifi on but I really doubt those are killing my battery. In the time it took me to type this message I lost 2%. I can't live like this! Suggestions?
Ps for the first 2 or 3 days that I had my phone the battery life was fine. No issues.

Turn off 4g and WiFi for starters. Don't need 4g since lte is not out yet. And if your house has no WiFi makes no sense to have it on searching for something that is not there. Also hold home bottom and close apps and clear ram.

I've been having the same issue on my att galaxy s3. I think there is a bug possibly when the phone is having issues maintaining a data connection. I always know when I am going to have an issue b/c the phone will stay warm even when I'm not using the phone. The only solution I have found is to turn off mobile data. Restarting the phone every day seems to help as well. There are a few other threads from people having the same issue. I'm guessing it's the data connection connecting and disconnecting over and over again. Cell standby will usually show up as taking up the most battery life.

Unfortunately the lte does drain your battery. So does the keyboard vibrating with every click. Get a app that with shut down background apps when your screen is off and temporally disable data. Works for me since I usually have at least 10 to 12 apps running that I forget to turn off.

If you're using widgets that auto sync like fb, weather etc. By default they're set to sync every hour. The first day I got my phone I got 4 hours screen time and about 17 hours total on the battery, but I didn't have any widgets running. after I started running fb and weather it went to 1 hour screen time and about 9 hours total on the battery. Google+ was the main juice guzzler.

AT&T lte is not a huge battery drain in my experience. Your battery usage is not normal so you either have a bunch of social media going crazy all the time or some rogue apps preventing deep sleep. Try using better battery stats to see if you can track things down.
Also forcing Wi-Fi to not use power save is s big drain did you do that? *#0011# menu Wi-Fi

I also notice the abnormal Cell Standby consumption, it actually happens after I added my Outlook corporate email, with ActiveSync enabled. After I seting the sync option to every 1hr instead of ActiveSync, it went back to normal.
See if it helps you too. Good Luck.
Is there anyway to reduce the amount of battery the Android OS uses? It is currently using 61% of my battery, which is quite a bit much. On my previous phone, the Android OS would only use about 10%. Are there any solutions to fix this? On my other phone I shut off the "Back Up My Data" setting and it solved it, but on this phone, it doesn't help. Any help is much appreciated
Have you tried the fast dormancy disable app in the apps section?
I don't even know what that is Lol Is that pre-installed on the phone?
Look in themes and apps in these forums there's a thread. Install the app disable fast dormancy
Isn't there a way to naturally stop it? I mean, the Androis OS shouldn't be using that much battery. it must be something in the setting, right?

my wife's is around 30% and her standby time is obnoxiously good. 48+ hrs between charges
There were some funky reporting bugs in ICS on the SGS2... they didn't really hurt battery life though, there. Are you seeing fairly decent life, or not? Can you, for instance, get 18 hours off charger with 3 hours combined screen on/calls? If so it's probably just reporting errors.
I was seeing high numbers like that on stock ICS on the LGOG, but was also getting zero deep sleep. I just went to JB to fix both that bug and fast dormancy problems... not sure if those 2 were related or not, but got them both gone.

I'm not seeing bad battery life. The phone will go 20-30 hours on the battery. I just know that the OS isn't supposed to be that high on the battery usage, so I was just wondering if maybe I'm not getting the battery life I could be getting. Maybe it is just a reporting bug.
That is a well known reporting error with ICS. Android OS isn't really using that percentage of battery.

Today I woke up and the battery was at 26% after unplugging it at around 11:30 pm. I usually wake up with around 93%. The Android OS had used up 91% of the battery for whatever reason -.- I finally installed that fast dormancy thing. Hopefully it helps.
When the phone has higher than normal OS %, it's because of wakelocks that is preventing your phone from going into Deep Sleep State (CPU). Install Better Battery Stats to see if what is keeping your phone away under Partial wakelocks and/or Kernel wakelocks and also what other alarms might be affecting your phone. You can also use the same app to see how much time your phone is at each CPU State.
Yeah. If your phone is draining by 70% over night that's a bigger problem than just Android OS

When I was on stock 4.1, I was using around 15-20% overnight then I flashed CM stable 10, happily saw the overnight usage drop to 3-6%, then I flashed to CM 10.1 M and now losing 11-16% overnight. Running "deep sleep better battery pro" in slumber mode with little success. Have had issues with that but that's another story. Still in experimentation mode. Starting to use "best battery stats" in hopes of getting more info.

if you install snowjb it already comes with fast dormancy fix. on that rom, android system doesnt use much battery at all. here's a pic to show what i mean.
I think what we are seeing is that kernel wakelocks -- which can be caused by apps -- get lumped in under Android OS.
For example, I was seeing about 9% sns_async_ev or something wakelocks that went away when I froze Smart Wifi Toggler. This made no sense to me but it turns out they were caused by the app accessing the barometer, and turning that feature off virtually made them go away. Overall this was just a small amount of time awake, but all of these add up in that category. It would have been nice to see that under the app itself but there's no way to differentiate that.
Hey guys
Yesterday my phone was acting up. Badly.
I got to 50% with 1hour and 30 minutes screen on time. Absolutely terrible.
So i decided to reflash the firmware using PC companion. When finished it seemed fine. 2.5 hours with 10% left.
Now its.. I don't even know. Have a look yourselfs

Eh, what can I say, most battery monitors out there are horrible at keeping track of things, something you may have noticed if you have a laptop. Android's battery monitor is know to be absolutely worthless, and it lives its own life.
Remember that it takes a couple of charging cycles to get it back on track when you flash ROMs. And you should probably enable STAMINA if you had horrible battery life before you flashed. There's probably an app that has gone rouge, so check your data usage and download a wakelock detector.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
What previous poster said.
Flashing ROM's is not the way to fix inaccurate battery reporting. It will probably just add more to the confusion as flashing ROM's is usually the reason for inaccurate battery readings.
What you need to do at this point is to run the phone completely dry once so it dies and then fully charge it. Then it should be fixed right away. Otherwise just let it be and it should be fixed in a couple of charges. Remember that running the phone completery dry too much aint good for the battery. Though they have built in protection so they never get completely dry. The real dangerous thing is to leave the phone totally dry without charge for longer amounts of time. That surely will damage your battery.
Yeah I had use stamina. It was weird sometimes I could get 6hours screen on time and other times 3
I downloaded wake lock detector and there was a wake lock that woke up the device over 20000 times. It seems to be gone now after re flashing.

I had an LG G Pro and when i went to sleep every night the phone was at 100% and it would be like that for 8 hours of sleep, now with my Galaxy S5 the phone will consume 1% in 8 hours. I know that's nothing but why is it doing that if i'm not using the phone.

It all really depends on what your phone is doing or what is running in the background.
If you want to get to the root of the problem ( stand by for pun ) you should root your device (eyyyy ) but seriously root it and install wake lock detector. See what is using your phone and waking it up out of sleep. It could be that it randomly looses signal and starts searching for it during the night or it could be something like Facebook waking up and checking for updates.

1% in idle is still amazing. Unless the phone is powered down, I'm not sure how you can really get much better than that.
"Samsung’s press materials say that the phone offers about 390 hours of standby time with LTE on." - Still insanely impressive and you probably have to have Ultra Power Saving mode on, which puts your phone's appearance and operations in crap mode.
If you lost 1% every 8 hours, then you will be getting roughly 800 hours of standby, which is double what Samsung claims you can achieve.
If you are going by what the other poster said, then he/she is likely referring to having the phone rooted and applying the "Greenify" app. This will hibernate anything, including system apps. I do hope you have luck with that... for some reason, when I use Greenify on this phone, I get worse battery life than with it off. I"m too lazy to tinker with it...
you do know that the phone is still on consuming power / electricity during idle/sleep mode, right...? I get about 3 days idle if I rarely use the phone and have like 11 things syncing stuff, which I find good.

How can you expect any electronic device that is ON to not have any battery consumption over 8 hours? obviously it needs to consume power to stay powered on...cpu is still running..cellphone still needs to maintain communication to the cell towers...syncing is still happening...running apps or system apps are still updating their status....

Could also be because the S5 just uses more power than the G Pro when on standby. I highly doubt it used less than 1% power in 8 hours though...
Just found out something, not sure if it helps, but I did notice a significant increase when you turn off location services for Google apps... namely the ability for Google maps to access your surrounding area and probe it for updated information. I saw an immediate increase after 19 hours I was at 62% having used the phone for regular use... so I think this might be the main culprit, although I'm not sure what LG is doing. I suspect that there is some sort of background killer in there working behind the scenes though.
I'll start off with my zerolemon 7500mah which is killing it right now its all stock kernel conservative row setup just check out this thing man

Since day one Android System and Android OS have been wrecking my battery life. Consistently using significantly more battery than my screen except on rare circumstance.

Yes, a lot of changes, funny thing is that I took the time to post a long thread with all the details a month and a half back just a couple of weeks after I bought it, and seeing the few responses I got it seems than nobody paid attention to this here and in the other forum I posted it.
If you want to take a look just do a search for my username and you should find it.
Good to hear! I'll dig for it now, I've not been active about at all since I got my s5... new job and I've been buried in work ever since.

I found the thread, only thing I put back was the option to keep WiFi on all the time not just when charging, I noticed later that it didn't matter, so I put it back as default.
Here is the thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734356
I actually just finished going through it. I had done a large number of those tweaks, I did the same as you with the Keep WiFi on, didn't notice a difference when I toyed with that setting a while back. I did turn off hotword detection, so we'll see if that helps. I also saw someone mention the pedometer was draining theres. As I use the pedometer on my Gear, I didn't realize the device still had the pedometer running as well, so I disabled that. Can't think of too much else to mess with, but we'll see if those few small tweaks knock that Android System and OS drain down.

Yeah mine does that too, but I can still get over 5 hours easy. It must be some rogue app thats causing your battery to drain quickly.

That's my assumption. I tried deleting everything and installing one by one to isolate that when I first got it to no avail. May have to try it again soon. Running the latest software update now, and gonna give my latest tweaks another day or so to see.

Wow thats amazing. This is probably where battery tech is headed in the next 10 years or so (I mean in a much smaller battery like the one that comes stock).
Okay here is the final stats
