Hi everyone.
So yesterday I downloaded 2 apps: "ShutApp" and "Doze". Thought they would help me save more battery. Everything was fine, until this morning. I left house, turned on mobile data and phone started overheating and battery started draining like crazy. Turning mobile data off didn't help. Uninstalling those apps didn't help either. So I entered safe mode, and this time everything was fine, phone cooled down too. Then in safe mode I reset network settings, rebooted again in normal mode. That drastic draining kind of stopped, but I still feel like my battery is lasting less than usual. What can I do? I really don't want to hard reset it.
P.S. There is no root for my version (H860), so Warelock Detector is useless.
I'm on the same boat bro. This morning my phone started to heat and I've never seen it draining this Fast.
With GSam Battery, It seem that Facebook updated itself (this crappy system app on LG phones). I saw a new setting enabled for Facebook auto update. Every time I try to uninstall Facebook to factory version, my phone soft reboot .
I will try updating Facebook with latest Beta or Alpha version found on apkmirror and report back.
Same here! Some apps had updated during the night and now my battery drains in A FEW HOURS! The phone gets very hot too!
Damn I can't uninstall Facebook . I've never seen my G5 draining like this
Oh my **** GOD! IT WAS FACEBOOK ALL THIS TIME?
I hard reset my phone already! Jesus.
Looks like they "fixed" it. That's why the battery stopped draining that bad, but still draining. I'll just roll it back to basic version for now I guess.
I've tried using Safe Mode but can't uninstall Facebook. I don't know what to do.

You can't uninstall it, but you can disable it.

I've never liked auto updates. Whenever I get a new phone first thing I do is disable the auto updating in Google Play. I am buying the phone that I researched hard for. Those factory installed apps probably are the same apps that were used to gain great reviews when you did phone buying research. Allowing updates means moving away from those factory installed apps onto unknown territory. Not all updates are useful or needed. Revert to factory installed wherever possible.
That's what I meant (it's a system app), I tried desabling it but my phone reboot every time I perform this action.

Oh, got it. So do you guys still have the problem?
Is it fixed entirely or not? If it is, then there is some other culprit on my phone I need to find and delete. If it's not, that's why my phone is still dying, although not as fast as earlier today.
I uninstalled Facebook Messenger and logged out from Facebook. It seems fine now.
Had the same problem today my phone started burning and battery was draining really fast, after i uninstalled the facebook app seems to be fine.
I had to hotswap batteries twice today... I was using Facebook Beta and it seemed to have been the cause

Huh, it seems to have suddenly stopped?

Got a UK 3 phone provider Galaxy S3 with 4.3 (Kernel version 3.0.31-2429075) as provided by my provider untouched.
Oddly the screen switches on from time to time as its just sitting there on the sofa.
(Also when I plug in or take out the charging cable it powers on the screen. But that's probably considered a 'feature')
But in the main the problem is it switching the screen on when it likes during my working day.
Anyone know how to stop this behaviour?
I've looked in the various apps I use, like Facebook. But can't see any notifications that mentions powering up the screen.
Motion, Voice control and Smart Screen is turned off,
Your phone is full of bloat that keeps waking the screen, you probably have really poor battery life to.
In app manager try to disable the apps you never use, get greenify for the ones you do.

Many thanks for that 'boomboomer'. :good:
Didn't know I could disable Apps I never use.
I'll need to give that a go. Samsung and Google does provide Apps I never use! :crying:
I do keep a lot of Apps on it. But most are only used once a week or rarely.
On a side point.
Any way I can stop Google Play from updating apps during the day when it's not charging? It just needs to try to auto-update 5+ apps at once and it slows to a crawl if the 3G/Wi-Fi connection is slow. Be nice if it could do it late at night when its charging.

yes ,open play store ,go into settings and disable auto update when wifi/3g is on . After that you can update manually your apps and you will get notifications when update is available .

Thanks for that. Yes, I knew that. I do want it to auto-update. Just not during the working day. Seems to take just one app to not update correctly and I get a queue of them waiting for that one to update!
Best if it was done during the night IMHO.
Yes you heard it right ,i have tested this on two phones with xposed install
i have tested this for 5 days
greenify makes eats up your battery so fast and actuall battery wont gets swollen so easily
test it yourself i have tested many times and found greenify the culprit
i dont know how actually works the way it hibernates but after uninstalling you can see significant change in your battery
thanks
Maybe a problem of your setup.

When this has happened to me (and it has) I found that greenify and another app were in a war, greenify was forcibly trying to hibernate the app and the app kept forcibly waking up from hibernation causing greenify to hibernate it again (repeat until battery is dead).

However, the solution was simple, just do not greenify the app causing the war. Then the apps that were greenified would play nice and the other apps are free to go about there business. I do not believe greenify was intended to have all of your apps in the list. Just ugly nasty battery draining, refusing to quit ones like facebook (which I do not even have installed).
u knw i dnt have bloat installd lyk fb messngr or so,i have only wwhtsapp to talk to my gf n frnds nd just sme apps but without greenify im happy cus i dnt have battery prblm then why use greenify no need
if u put battery code in ur build.prop to monitor u will c greenify keeps eatng battery
Unlucky for you. I notice much better battery stats WITH Greenify running. Always have.
Totally noob bs. Must be other problem. Recently tried few days both devices without Greenify. Battery drains so much more and faster. Also unmodded LP Preview on Art on my N7-13 tiny bit more battery life than KK on Dalvik unmodded. However KK modded with X-modules (Greenify extra, Amplify, etc) hours extra battery life.

In my case a set of apps had been updated around the time my battery drain had started. I removed the apps that had been updated and seemed to always be awake from the hibernation list and added them back one at a time (per day in my case) and found that a version of Microsoft's OneDrive was refusing to hibernate properly. Once I removed it from the list my problem went away. Another clue for me was the fact that the problematic version of OneDrive was showing up in the battery usage screen for android when it was greenified when it had never been there before...
A later version of onedrive has fixed the problem and last I tried you could now hibernate that app again...
Another approach is to unhibernate everything and add the apps back to the list one at a time observing the behavior.

hm okay that makes sense. one of my apps (peel smart remote) always seemed to be un-hibernated even though i never opened it so i disabled it. lets see what happens

A way to find out is to lock your device, let it with the screen off for like 5 minutes, unlock it and open Greenify. See if there is any app that's not hibernated. Those that aren't you must remove them from the list to be hibernated.

I'd like to be able to use the Facebook app, but, wouldn't dream of installing it w/o Greenify.
Android should have built in the default setting that any apps you install do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING unless you actually HAVE THEM OPEN. Checking for updates, giving you notifications, etc. should all come off by default and only go on when a user chooses to specifically turn them on!
I've had the phone since the beginning of December. Right since then, I have had battery drain no matter what. In the first days I experienced it even overnight, I am pretty sure with airplane mode activated....
Later on, I wiped the cache from the recovery mode, didn't fix it. I used that 'GService fix' kind of magical app that everybody said it fixed their problems...it didn't fix mine. I performed a hard reset and I did not restore the google account apps, instead I manually downloaded only the apps that I really needed.
There is no apparent pattern on when the battery drain starts: I would find my phone hot and very rapidly discharging (if not already discharged), battery temp hot and cpu temp hot. I disabled all google now functions, I disabled GPS, at first I disabled only some google functions (kept only google keep, calendar and contacts on automatic sync)....but then a couple days ago I disabled the whole automatic sync. Battery still drained without using the phone.
I had read that one reason why google service would take so much battery would be having multiple accounts, or having some problems related with google play games and its sync. I do have games installed on my phone, and they require google play games to work, so that one is installed on the device but I also read that 'people details' under google account settings is relevant to the google play games sync. And in any case as I already said, the whole automatic sync has been disabled in the past 2 days, yet today the phone drained the battery while in my pocket.
I cannot understand what is going on. I am using GSAM to try to monitor things, but till now I have only been able to understand when was the battery drain starting and when was it stopping. I never found the reason. If I choose 'since screen off' on GSAM, I can see that it is again google play services taking most of the battery.
I can see with those softwares (3c toolbox, GSAM) some things, many of them I don't understand and some of them I don't even know how to set. It's pretty useless to know that suddenly my cpu goes high in clock and keeps 90/100% load if I don't know why. There is no rogue app, otherwise it would show on top, right? I can provide these two screenshots:
http://i.imgur.com/wPgGlu7.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/9hbVG0I.jpg
First screenshot: I had the phone on my desk since 2 days or so. Wifi on, no gps, no sync. I went out around 12:00 and that seems to be exactly the time when the battery drain started. If I choose in GSAM 'since screen off', google services is on top of the list. Unfortunately this cannot be very much relate with mobile data or so, because I have experienced battery drain even with airplane mode or at home with wifi enabled. Second screenshot: I don't know what to make of those packages......
I know that other people with the Axon 7 had the same problem, I googled a lot, didn't solve anything.....and I also know that anyway on any phone this can happen. I had very randomly the same problem on the Nexus 5 but never gave it too much attention because it wasn't too bothering, it was happening every once in a while, but with this Axon 7 I am touching it every 10 minutes to see if it's burning hot or not, constantly afraid to take it out of the pocket and find it with 10% left of battery.....
Had battery drain issues and exchanged my phone under warranty. Now all is good.

Assuming you're rooted, install betterybatterystats (search for it on xda). Use the phone as you normally would. After 6-12 hours, look at the results. It should give you an idea of what's keeping the phone awake.
Here the same problem. Irregular at intervals of 1-2 days. New installation of Google Play services no change. Restart helps only a short time.

yes! same thing with me. Google Backup Transport process fires up and eats battery for no reason. Doesn't matter if backup is enabled or disabled, I also disabled appdata sync. I posted two or 3 times in this community group as well:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1421198214846418/permalink/1431610953805144/
What rom are you using?
stock, didn't change anything and to be honest should not need to (and not even want to).
My plan: try to find a solution. Good that at least I nailed it to the process (google backup transport - gms.persistent etc etc) and can research from there. I already found tons of people who had the same problems with tons of different devices and even android version (just google com.google.android.gms.persistent battery drain and you'll find the forums full of threads....of course everybody fixed it in the most different ways, none of which worked for me till now).
2nd plan: wait for the nougat update at the end of the month and see what happens
3rd plan: change device (warranty).
I am aware it is not a hardware problem, it must be some loop in the sync (but it happens even with sync off) or a bug in google services.
Hmmm, could you say you "just can't sleep" over it?
Sorry folks, friday post
Batter Battery Stats is usually a very good way to check for rogue apps, tho.

5 days?? How much do you actually use the phone??
I don't know what was the cause. It was either a loop fail backup of google photos, or the update from B04 to B08 fixed it. No more drain, battery easily lasts 2 days without heavy use of the phone.

:laugh: 5 days without reboot. 2 days with one load. 8 hours display time at 24 usage.
All the US stock firmwares have the battery drain. It's usually google backup transport or google persistent gms. A reboot will fix it usually, but it will occur again later... Battery life is fine other than those 2. Let's hope lineage will be ok.
Hi,
My Xperia Z ultra was working fine until 3 hours ago. There were few updates from googleplay, authorised, left in charge, came back 2 hours ago and it has been freezing , shutting and restarting continuously, it freezes the UI , xperia home app and evertything else.
I use it for business and it doing my head.
thank you for your help.
Ok that is weird. My friend just asked me regarding her Xperia Z Ultra. It has the same symptoms as the one you described, and it also happened since 1-2 days ago, when she left the phone on charge, and it updates some applications on google play. I already tried uninstalling some apps to no avail. Removing the SD card lets you navigate your phone longer, but when you try to launch ANY apps (including the option to factory reset your phone) it will immediately freeze, and restart. I might try installing custom ROM in this thing...
Solved
Hi, being for business and out of desperation I have hard reset it. It wasn't easy as it would freeze before I could press the relevant button. What I have done is let the phablet battery die, recharge it completely on off mode, turn it on, follow the link for the reset option, and it worked! It took another 3/4 hours to reinstall everything but so far so good, I hope it helps
got same problem within 2 days,i have two xperia and always hang & restart...any solution ??
Another instance...
I updated 48 apps today on the Google Play Store (i've disabled auto update) and i'm now in a bootloop as well...
I guess it's on of the Sony or Google apps that had an update that would cause this?
I think the issue is related to Xperia Home, will switch to default launcher and check.
Got same problem. Short story: did the factory reset, issue slowed down a bit but still present, now I'm downloading the same stock rom via flash tool and after flashing see if the problem stopped...
same Problem to me. did the factory reset by companion and it worked for two days, no started again with the restart loop and freezing continously... any Infos from Sony...?
I just called the Xperia Support. It is just a Facebook problem. Simply deinstall Facebook app and your mobile will work again without any problems. Facebook has been informed about the issue. when the problem will be solved by Facebook is unknown...
I have C6833 and same symptoms. When I check Sony Diagnoistics app it shows Instagram caused system freeze/crash.
Instagram freezes mobile and then it restarts. Something like overheat protection inside forcing a restart after app freeze.
Also Facebook app crashed when you just start and flashes multiple times.
Those two apps updated by Facebook and I believe some compatibility issue.
Found older version of Facebook from apkmirror and installed.
Now Facebook & Instagram not crashing, mobile not restarting.
JFYI version from June 14th.

Update: I flashed the same stock rom with flashtool and everything is ok now.... It looks like the rom corrupted somehow and the factory reset didn't helped completely...
I also noticed it is caused by the latest Facebook update. Just check the latest reviews now on the play store...
Removed Facebook app (luckily also not part of ROM). Phone now stable and 24/7/365 50% CPU usage dropped to around 20%. The last Facebook update is very bad... Not going to use it anymore on my Ultra... Facebook is now blacklisted for my Z.
Second update: facebook worked for 2 days and again stopped working, messenger constantly showing one unread message which I opened 100 times, but the number notification on icon is still present. Also sometimes a random app freezes, phone looses touch and reboots after some time... Looks like something in hardware is slowly diying...
Solved
As some of you guys found out the culprit is the latest update from FB. After uninstalled it everything is fine .
Thank you for your input.
What can I use to check to see what's causing my phone to not go into deep sleep mode at night or during the day. My batter all of the sudden is draining way too fast and almost dies at night.
Inside your settings there should be app called battery/ device health/ digital well being
It keeps track of app usage and battery drainage (this works if you dont have custom mods)
next it could be that your device is running in performance mode the whole time

But better battery stats will use more of your battery since its logging everything, all the time. And has your phone always been draining fast or is this something new?

Leave power management disabled; ID and deal with each battery hog on a case by case basis.
Galaxy Labs Battery Tracker can be useful.
Karma Firewall. Package Disabler (not on Playwhore).
For starters:
Google backup Transport, Framework and Google Firebase... prime suspects.
Playstore, wretched apk it is.
Google play Services is another one to watch, try disabling it. A lot of apps are dependencies of it.
Any cloud apps.
All carrier, Google, Samsung and app feedback
WhatsApp, FB, etc, take out the trash.
Carrier update app, kill it if you don't want OTA updates jammed down your throat.
