Is anyone else having terrible battery life on this after upgrading to Marshmallow?
After doing the update to Marshmallow in this thread, I flashed TWRP and rooted via this thread.
Now my battery life has been absolutely terrible. Before updating to Marshmallow, I could go almost all day, have 35%+ left at night, go to sleep and then wake up with around 20% of battery all the time. Now if I go to sleep with 50% battery it's dead when I wake up. Seems to be "Wlan" and "Phone Idle" using most of the battery as you can see in the screenshot below. Also, after the phone dies and I plug it back in, it always shows as 13-15% battery life right away (odd), so I used a battery calibration app that seemed to do nothing and still same bad battery.
I'm thinking it may be due to me missing the OTA update right before the Marshmallow OTA update. I know it had to do with the radio, could that be it? Does anyone have that in a zip file I could flash via TWRP? If so, would it be ok to do that?
Any ideas would be appreciated, here's a screenshot of battery usage:

Don't worry about the previous ROM update, it won't matter. It would at best change some .so files, located in the /system partition. With the MM update every system file is replaced. There are some steps you can take to further diagnose battery issues.
Honestly, if I were you I'd skip to the part where you wipe everything and start over. Install Xposed and Greenify and use the two together to stop battery draining apps.

For some couple of days am facing this problem, thought that my phone wasnt charging properly nor reading perfect charge. Downloaded the V6 calibrator and now am more confused about which one is showing me the right info Can anybody shed some light over the matter Will be a great help. Thanks in advance
Please, see the screenshots below as the battery is showing 10% but reading 30% then with V6 Calibrator its saying that the battery should read 53% confusing!!..

It's not reading wrong.
The script requires your battery to be 53% or more. So you will need to charge it and then retry.

Thanks and the script also asks for the battery to be charged at 4200mV & 20minutes more, before it could start the calibration, which unfortunately, the battery never gets to! always ends up somewhere in 4100mV or just a bit more than that. It once reached to 4192mV then started loosing power rapidly. Never actually reaches to 4200mV. What should i do about that? By the way, all the time when i tried the script, i made sure that the phone is on airplane mode so nothing can work behind
Those 4200mV is a general expression and not specific for the Xperia S, just charge to full and you cant do any mistakes.
Hello, 3 days ago I've installed CM10.1 nightly build from 2013-07-25 on my friend's Galaxy S III (international), now his battery life is really bad and he's complaining on me, any way I can improve the battery life?
Here goes a screenshot (as you can see, he wasn't even using the phone when the battery just dropped 50%):

Cyanogen mod roms are known to drain battery much faster than touchwiz.so you cant really expect the battery life to be the same as on stock or stock based roms. you may improve the battery life by using an app called Greenify. it hibernates apps so that they will not run in the backround. this can help considerably. also make sure to turn off gps , bluetooth, wifi. and mobile data when not in use.
well first tell your "friend" that thats how things are in AOSPs. Secondly use differrent kernels and proper setting to get max battery (tutorials are available) plus greenify apps you do not use. And the usual killers as GPS/WiFi/NFC/3G use only when needed or turn them off..
Something is extremely wrong there. Get a normal usage BBS dump and post it here. Also take screenshots of the BBS pages.
Also post a screenshot of your battery stats page (one that shows which apps drain battery).
Hello , i'm on an investigation why did my phone died last night. Basically i left it on 33% and in the morning the phone was completely dead! Usually it never took more than 15% overnight. I was unable to determinate the problem via BBS because as you may know BBS doesn't really work on 4.4 Kitkat (even if set as system app). The only thing i can show you is the build-in battery monitor graph. See the red section - no screen times , no waking , no GPS , no Wi-Fi but the graph is still going down. I always keep an eye on my battery stats and overal phone health but this is the first time i'm experiencing such issue.

That graph is essentially useless/tells us nothing whatsoever. I'd be replacing the battery (might want to do a clean install of JB stock first to make sure it isn't a KK rom problem).

That graph is basically all i have without BBS.
Yes, I know that. And as I've said, it's useless. What exact information are you expecting anyone else to glean from it that you haven't already done yourself (We're not mystics) ? It's a simple/basic graph, it provides simple/basic information, which won't answer your questions/give you info to enable you to solve your problem.
Stock kernel?Any undervolting?Maybe it freezed and that drained your battery.
Hello,
I am using Nexus 6P with the unrooted N6F26Q build of Pure Nexus ROM. I have always had decent battery performance of this phone with my general usage. Recently I have moved to a new geographic location and I see a rapid battery drain while the phone in a particular building. I do not have cell phone network here, so I have AirPlane mode turned on, but I use WiFi for internet connectivity. My observations are as follows:
1. During the day time, when I am in building A, there is no battery drain. I don't use my phone much and the battery level does not drop by much.
2. During evening and night time, I am in building B, which has a different WiFi, the battery immediately starts to deplete rapidly and in the morning I wake up with a dead phone.
3. Suspecting that the WiFi might be the cause, I tried to switch WiFi off at night, but I still found my phone to be dead in the morning.
I captured the bug report data and tried to analyze it with battery historian, but I don't have enough experience to point out the cause.
This is what the battery historian graph looks like.

Same graph from another bug report, when the WiFi was turned off during the night:
Can someone see something unusual in the graphs?
I can share the entire bug report via PM if someone wants to take a closer look.
Thank you.
Hello there,
I've noticed in the past couple of days that my phone's battery has been draining like a sieve. I popped into GSAM and found that my phone package is eating 50% of my total power usage. I've had this issue before with Android System and stuff, but that seemed to fix itself.
I've tried a soft reset to clear any memory issues, but that hasn't done a thing, I've lost 30% battery in an hour.
Any advice on how to fix this?

My phone is running 4.4.4, if that helps any.
Thanks a bunch!

Try flashing the stock rom with Odin, probably something is corrupted in the phone app
