Battery sudden draining - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last couple of weeks, with different ROMs I have a strange issue where the screen suddenly starts to flicker in within seconds the
battery drains to being completely empty.
I don't even have a chance to get into BBS and check what process is the culprit.
Any idea what might be causing this problem?

Your ROM might be the issue.. Does this happens with all ROM or what? Which ROM are you using?

This happens on samsung based roms like Neatrom, Imperium & ARHD
also happens with CM11 OMNI and SLIM.
tested all these roms with full wipe and clean install.
Could it be a bad battery ?

First check if this happens with stock ROM not the stock based ones.. And if same happens with complete stock than yes it can be battery issue.

Your battery is inflated? If yes, I think that you need a new battery

[Q] Crazy battery charge

I am on CM9 nightly and kernel that comes with it, latest updates always!
And yesterday I charged my SGS2 to 100% unplugged cable and at the morning when I checked it, it was dead! tried to go in download mode, it sayed battery level is too low! and really it drain 100% of battery in 8 hours idle!
Is it possible to fix such a issue?
Yes, by seeing what's using the battery, not by making a new thread with no useful information.

With the amount of battery threads that come up on this site it is surprising you haven't bumped into the routine of downloading betterbatterystats and seeing what is keeping your phone awake. You should also see if this happens on a fresh install with NONE of your apps installed. Completely stock with your contacts synced.
your issue sounds reasonable my device was awake on the 4/29 build, its best to talk about nightly builds in the discussion thread,charge it up and see whats keeping it awake
you wont get help without this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Cyanogen9 is still deep in beta, that means it isn't finished, that means if you have a problem it's because the ROM isn't perfect. Why would you make a forum post about this? It happened once, not even a few times, why the **** would you make a post about something that happened once and you have done nothing to get to the bottom of it? Seriously what.
There are many stable Custom ROM of Android 4.0.x that you can use instead of CM9 'Nightly Builds'....

See this. While this isn't currently a "what's the best ROM" thread, the very nature of your question will result in the same debate those types of threads tend to generate.
Someone could really like a ROM and suggest it to you, and you try it, and you might decide it sucks. Try ROMs out yourself until you find one you like. Don't be lazy.

[Q] Battery drain from 30% to 15% in 5 mins. Solution?

I was using Canvas 4 Rom ported to our device, I had the same problem. My battery back up till 30% is pretty good, but when it reaches 30% in 5 minutes it drains to 15%. I thought the problem is with that Rom. So I flashed the p.18 stock Rom. But the same problem persist.
Is anyone less having the same problem? If so then what is the solution for this problem? Kindly help me regarding this.

Canvas 4 rom has no issues with the battery instead it gives very good backup. U try this.
Download battery caliberator from Playstore.
Charge the mobile till 100%
Open the App
click on battery caliberate
Once it clears all the battery stats remove the charger and drain the battery till 0 and then charge it fully i.e. 100%
and then use it.. It will solve ur battery issue
I will try
I'll try that. No one has encountered such a problem before?

It happens with some of the Roms. Dont worry.. It is not flashing issue.. Even i faced these issues in Jellyxperia 5.5 rom . I changed it to MIUI rom by JavaJohn .. then no issues.. Many users faced this.

No bro.. I used SGalaxy CHD 3.2 and Jellyxperia 4 . Now using MIUI by JavaJohn ... I didnot see these issues in following roms. If this issue with kernel then it should replicate these issues in above roms also.
Correct me IF i am wrong?
Oh! that's pretty sad. Can you post the kernel version of Miui?

no problem with rom or kernel... problem is battery not calibrating after flashing rom... i tried all battery calibration apps nothing is working..
THE PROBLEM IS BATTERY NOT FULL CHARGED, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THAT JUST CHARGE FROM 0% YOU CAN SEE 60-70% TAKING MORE TIME, AFTERTHAT IT WILL TAKE 10-15MINS TO FULL CHARGE
Battery is getting full charged but it was only 50 cent through...... And in 10 min was 100percent
having the same problem
I have the same problem
Discharge from 30% to 15% in 10 mins and charging from 80% to 100% in 10 mins..
I have tried many custom ROMs and Stock ROMs with no luck
I have also tried calibrating multiple ways like calibrating when at 100% and discharge and tried calibrating from 35% and discharge..
No luck yet..
Anyone has better options to try
Thanks in advance
It's just a software bug, when the phone show's you 100% it's not fully charged yet, but it says so.
Just leave it connected to the charger for another 30mins, then it'll actually be fully charged and you also won't encounter the 30-15% drop.
On a sidenote, enabling forced gpu renderering in developer options increased my screen on time from 6 to 7 hours per charge. Why? No idea...
Battery probs
I too had that issue but after getting into miui by java john all was set i didn encountered that prob in the latest update 3.12.9

Wakelocks on AOSP ROMs

I have tried pretty much all AOSP ROMs and I am finding that all of them have huge number of wakelocks. At night my phone is awake for about 1.5 to 2 hours out of 7-8 hours and drains 7-10% battery over this time. Even with clean install and only minimum apps installed.
In battery useage apps they show up as Kernel (Android OS) and Linage OS System in battery usage apps. Any idea how to find and resolve this?
same for me!
This only happens on AOSP roms? Not on Lineage OS?

So this doesn't happen in stock rom? I'm getting my Redmi 5 Plus today and i plan to flash a custom rom because i don't like bloatware and gapps, but if this is a big issue i don't know if i should for now.

I don't think so. Stand by on Stock ROM was much better for me. Lost 0% overnight.
same happens to me.
Same for me.
same here. 1% lost every hour overnight, just mobile signal, no wifi, no bluetooth no gps
Try using AppOps to deny the following permissions for the apps you have installed - keep awake, auto start, run in background. Exclude messaging, clock and dialer apps from this procedure.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
These guides can help, but are most likely not longer necessary past Android 7.
I am doing a test by clean flashing, not installing any apps and not even installing Gapps to see if the same drain happens. Will report back.
Cleaned flashed, NO GAPPS, NO other apps, left phone for 8 hours, lost 8%. "Significant motion detector" was awake for 2.5 hours. Same wakelock on all ROMs, seems like an issue with this phone. I don't know if it happens on MIUI but I guess no?
It might be because all the ROMs are based on the initial work of mdeejay and tingyichen, as I understand it. All the AOSP ROMs are basically the same, only varying in tiny amounts of superficial stuff that is added to them.
Did you try the unofficial OmniROM build? It's the only non-Lineage ROM that's developed from scratch (by ex-CM devs), and to me it does feel different than all the rest, in a positive way.
use better battery stats for understanding the culprit. i am on 8.1 AEX and overnight drain is 0.5%. 0n miui it was 1%.
Sent from my vince using XDA Labs
What phone do you have ? 3/32 or 4/64? And what baseband firmware? I ask because I had same 1% per hour drain on aex too. I wonder if having encryption on makes a difference?
I am tired of trying new roms and kernels but all behave the ssme. 35% time awake

No, everything turned off, only mobile signal. Also tried in airplane mode.

Please post a Log from Better Battery Stats. The only thing I can think of is that weak signal is draining your device's battery.

Horrible battery life

Hey, I have a redmi note 4 snapdragon version and I have flashed aosp extended rom and franco kernel in it, but I am getting a very poor battery life, hardly 1 hour screen on time and the phone shuts off by the time battery gets to 30 to 20%. My phone is rooted too and i am not using any kind of battery saver app.
:crying:
I think this is an hardware issue but, I am no expert so please help me on this and let me know what should i do. Thank you.

The problem started probably when i rooted my phone on stock rom(miui 10), the very next day i cleaned every thing (including my firmware accidentally) to flash custom rom, then after flashing i found out that none of the hardware components are working and i posted a thread about it and as per the answers i flashed a latest chinese firmware for redmi note 4.And it worked except i started noticing an awfully bad battery backup(hadn't noticed before as all this happened in just 2 days. (as a matter of fact the battery went down 5% as i wrote this, oh 6 now!)
HELP

I had similar problems.
I clean flashed the latest OFFICIAL AOSPExtended, Ethereal Kernel and Global STABLE firmware.
Haven't had any issues since.
Maybe it works for you?

Cleaning everything, as you stated, including the whole firmware,
You answered your whole thread yourself, just flash stock frimware, then flash AEX like flashing any normal ROM.
I have the same problem, the battery die after 1h screen, when the battery Is on 20% the device shutdown,help me pls, i have rr with franco kernel.
hi OP. base on what you are describing, it looks like your battery is dying... nothing to do with the OS. be careful 'cause chinese batterys (like 70%) turn out to be real sh*t (on my own experiance). consider to replace battery from a confiable retailer or change device.
