Was hoping that 7.1.2 was going to fix the battery issues. Alas Android OS remains #1 or #2 battery drain item even after the most recent update. Going back the Marshmallow. Google should study the hippocratic oath - first do no harm.
Just use pure Nexus. I get 4-5hrs SOT on LTE. I use whatsapp, snapchat, facebook, twitter. Just make sure you disable location services, else Google play services will eat up your battery fast
Does anyone else get like 5 hours SoT and good standby time as well even though Android OS is at the top of the list? I feel like sometimes this "issue" is massively over exaggerated...

If you haven't changed yet try not using Gmail , Chrome and google backup at setup since I started eliminating those three things my stats never show drain from Android and play services I know it might sound strange but trust me
Nougat calculates battery differently then MM. It's even better at measuring.
I have better battery on N then MM.
This is why I'm excited for android O, to see if they actually do what they're saying about stopping apps from being able to run rampant in the background. My iPhone will not even lose a single percent overnight while I'm sleeping. My 6p drops 10-15%. I'm getting pretty tired of having to manage my phone to be honest. For a smartphone, it isn't very smart.

There is something severely wrong with your setup. I lose 0.1% idle, overnight. 10-15% is way too much and I guarantee it's not the Android OS which is causing it. Something else which may be reported under Android OS in battery settings, but 15% is not normal lol. That's on your end 100%

.1 lol sure..
So using a phone normally makes it my fault? Interesting. As I said, I don't want to manage my phone. I shouldn't have to worry about what rogue apps are draining my battery. It shouldn't be so inconsistent. If anything you're making my point for me, and placing the blame on a user for using the phone as a phone and not installing stuff like greenify and naptime, expecting them to micromanage what the os should be doing in the first place is both hilarious and sad.

Well according to both AccuBattery and EXKM battery monitor yes 0.1 percent. I'll charge it again today and leave it overnight to show you my idle drain. No biggie. Something you have installed is keeping your phone awake, point blank period. I don't use greenify or naptime or anything. Never even heard of the latter...

Also, wakelock detector and better battery stats can't give me a clue what it is other than "Android os". I've been at this too long, since 2008, and really I'm just at my wits end. I want something I can use and let do its thing. I don't have time to be doing the work the os needs to do itself

I have two apps, as I stated. Maybe you're fine with doing legwork for the os, but after about 9 years of doing so I just don't want to anymore.
You can argue about it all you want, but being a closed minded fanboy and refusing to even think about what I'm saying is going to harm Android if anything. They know it's a problem themselves

Android OS is 15% of my battery consumption. Google Play Services is another 15%. Android System is 12%, screen is 11%. This does not sound right any way you cut it. I have tried greenifying every app that I don't need to be updating in the background, there is little difference. I don't use Facebook and WhatsApp, but I do use Gmail and MailCal quite a bit. Not much SMS either.

I deleted them and wanted to run android without tweaking it. A lot of my reasoning was to see what it was like to just run it as is.
The point is, the average user does not root or tweak their phone. They expect it just to work. I can't count the number of times people at work have gotten me to help with their phones since it was draining in a few hours while not even being used. I'm glad they are trying to attack this issue, for most people, this is the downfall of android.
I have tried every kernel on here, and while I did get better battery life with greenify and other things installed, it seems like after this long it shouldn't even be necessary for the user to be occupied with that stuff. A phone is supposed to be a tool, you shouldn't need to disable settings, freeze apps, and everything else just to have it work how it should in the first place.
Honestly... it all depends on the user. I've read through the comments, and like you, people ask me for help with their phones as well. Majority of the people I'm surrounded by are always on their phones,max brightness,etc, so it's normal for their battery to drain as fast as it is. I'm at 20% battery right now, with 3h 30m SoT and I have 232 apps installed. I don't do battery tweaks, and I use the full package GApps package(Aroma) only not using Google Photos and all the other language keyboard related stuff. I'm a heavy texter and audiophile (V4Arise is installed).

This is interesting about losing that much battery over night. I'll charge it up tonight and see what I get because I thought the battery issue would change with the update.

Hi,
Lets start this first, Im Dumb. Plain and simple. I know there are a lot of threads about batteries but its mostly people whining about it. All im looking to know is am i getting the right amount compared to some of you guys? and am i set up to even know how my battery is doing.
Im on the UCLE5 Goldie rom (Love IT).
i had a 20 minute phone call and thats it hadnt really used it since this morning. Took it off the charger. 20 min phone call, and about 3.5 hours later im at like 83%. Is that sound about right to you guys? I have chargers at my desk and in my car so im never far from power. But i would love to know how im doing.
Lets say that its not up to par. What steps should i take to maybe find out whats causing a problem should there be one? I have always read that task killer programs are actually not that big of a deal on the android platform.. im not sure if thats true or not but i have tried to research and it seems to be a consensus around it.
Please let me know what ya all think and thank you for all your help and patience in reading a topic i am sure you are all very tired of.

I'm on Electron73's UCLF5 stock ROM with a few mods and that seems about right.
I've found task killing apps to actually HURT my battery life. The reason is, everytime they kill a task that autostarts, it starts right back up. This uses processor power and, therefore, battery.
I would recommend trying out Battery Monitor Widget on the Play store. It's by 3C. There is a free version and a pro version. I used the free version for about a month and then bought the pro version. It will give you some great insight as far as your battery life goes.

Thanks JB!
Alright, so, no, that sounds TERRIBLE going from full to 83% in 4 hours with only a 20 minute phone call.
Im on stock, unrooted and (having just tested), I go from 100 to 96% after a 20 minute call.
So, one of three things are happening here.
1. Your phone isnt deep sleeping
Solution: cpuspy. There are instructions for how to set it up and use it, since I have never used it, I cant help you here.
2. Radios (GPS, Cellular Data, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC)
Manually turn them off or use a tool to automate this. There are a number of them out there, Juice Defender, AutomateIt, or my personal choice, Tasker (listed in order of ease of use but least features/functionality to most difficult to use but has most features/functionality).
Personally, I dont think your radios would be the problem, but nonetheless, they are something that if you can control their use, can save you some battery.
3. Rogue apps
This is absolutely the most tricky one to figure out.
Option 1: Start by installing Titanium Backup from the market and do a backup of all USER apps (copy the backups to your PC before proceeding!!). Then you should do is a factory reset (Settings->Privacy), then install cpuspy, battery monitor widget pro (by 3C), and Titanium Backup from the market and use Titanium to restore only the bare minimum apps you need on your phone to survive (in other words, install only what you need, NOT what you might need). Slowly add apps (again, that you actually use) and monitor the phone. I usually will add 5 at a time, if I notice a significant battery drain after adding five, its easier to determine the potential cause.
Option 2: Now, since the above is an absolute *****, another option that might appeal is a little app called Autostarts. Launch it and as soon as it is done loading, hit your menu button and look for an option to 'Group by Application'. It might also not be a bad idea to enable the 'Hide System Apps' option unless you know what you are doing'. Once you have done this, start at the top of the list and disable EVERY condition that an app has listed under it unless one of the following is true:
1. The app has a widget THAT YOU USE (if you dont use the widget portion, then this is not applicable).
2. The app has a scheduled task to perform under certain conditions or at certain times (ie. podcast client that updates your RSS feeds at a scheduled time, or Juice Defender which disables services, Dropbox which might sync your pictures if you have it configured this way).
Be aggressive WITH USER APPS. Even apps like Google Maps have absolutely NO REASON to be running in the background.
I would NOT touch system apps unless you know what you are doing. Unfortunately, I am not familar with ICS on the Note and what apps it considers a system app, I was very delicate with these, only disabling things like Gallery, Maps (on the Captivate, Maps was considered a system app), & Music.
4. Non-updated apps
Lastly, I cannot tell you how stupid people are about updating their apps. Obviosuly, it isnt applicable to everyone but to give you an idea, my sister handed me her phone and it had 47 app updates. Just last night, I looked at one of our company phones and it had 33 app updates and a system update.
Samsung is SUPER terrible about linking their apps to the market correctly. Launch Titanium Backup and hit the menu button, under settings and I think More, you will find an option to link apps to the market (it might be called market doctor, I havent used TB in a long time). This will make a number of stock apps show up under your list of installed apps when you open the market and allow you to easily hit the update all button without having to manually search for every app you have installed on your phone manually, one by one.
App updates are extremely important, often times, security vulnerabilities and performance improvements are made (this might include battery life improvements). There are a number of ways to have your apps automatically update if you dont want to manually do it (me personally, I like to know what changes came to each app).
I also don't think my phone's battery is up to par with most of you on this forum.
I just bought an i717 from Telus and recently got the battery replaced because i was getting about 2-3 hours (which was unbelievable). So i got this new battery and tested it out for the past 2 weeks and as i'm writing this post, i'm currently sitting at 12% with 12h 7m on battery with only 1h 45m 'screen on' time. Screen is at the top of the list with 32% and Web second with only 12m CPU total.
Any of this sound strange to you guys? I constantly find my phone overheating when the display is on. I even have my radios being controlled with Easy Battery Saver and checked for partial wakelocks with the audio output being at the top.
Could it be my battery or do i have a faulty display?
Ok this is what i have done so far...
All apps were up to date
I turned off bluetooth.. GPS.. and Wifi (I did have these on all the time) and only turn those on when i need then
i used cpuspy and you are right it spends all its time at 380 mhz never going into deep sleep.
how do i determine what is keeping it from deep sleep?
@HVZY- What is your display setting at? Are you running gingerbread? How long have you had the phone for?

You can download Better Battery Stats from xda. This app will tell you what is giving you a wake lock. Really handy in finding what is keeping the phone awake.
My phone battery life has gotten worse on my week old Samsung device.
I first looked up that there was a problem with a decimal point somewhere in a file. I followed necessary steps online to root my device and flash whatever it was (sorry don't know the jargon, I'm an Apple geek but very new to Android) to sort out my battery problem with cell standby mode showing at 75% in the battery settings menu.
I did notice a difference after doing this for ONE day.
My phone has drained horrendously today after 4 hours after a full charge, I was down to 30% battery life.
Wifi is off, Power saving mode is off (after reading online that it actually drains more power), GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, Sync is off and Driving Mode is off.
Everytime I use my device, I always use Task Manager and "Remove All" then I clear my RAM (which always closes 22 apps, even if I've just sent a text!)
This phone is driving me crazy with this issue and I'm about ready to throw it through a window and go back to my iPhone 4S.
I moved to Android because I didn't like the small screen on an iPhone. BAD MOVE!!!!
If anyone can help me out with some resolution, I'd be grateful. I'm new to Android so this is all just confusing me.
Thank you. :good:
check apps are not refreshing every 15 minutes or so, eg Facebook. Twitter. Log out of Google Talk, its logged in by default. Turn off location history (Latittude) in Maps. Just basically check the apps you have installed.

I shouldn't have to turn off Facebook and Twitter to be fair. My iPhone never had any problems with them two apps being signed in and being set up for push notifications. I can't believe how bad Android actually is.
Thank you for the warning about Google Talk, I didn't know about that. Now signed out. I don't think I have Google Latitude. I can't find it.

The Facebook app for android is a pos, its a known battery killer. there's a new one coming.
Losing that much battery in 4 hours is a bit much though. How much screen on time?
Maps kills battery too, network location service. Leave GPS on, turn off wireless location, if you get what I mean.
GPS is only used when an app is in use, network location is pinging away in the background all the time.
Android isn't bad, its just not a kids os like iOS, it takes a bit of learning to get the most out of it.
Once you start delving into it you'll get hooked.

Install apps like cpu spy and better battery statts, that gives you a vieuw about cpu deep sleep time and apps keeping the cpu awake with abnormal activity and thus draining the battery

I was at work during those 4 hours so I literally wasn't using my phone at all. The phone screen was locked and in my pocket.
I got it out on my break and couldn't believe just how much my battery had drained.
com.sec.android.app.launcher was showing at 23%
Android OS 20%
Samsung Syncadapters 9%
Android System 9%
Twitter 8%
eBay 8%
Screen 4%
I don't know the rest cos I just took a screen shot to send it to my friend to ask what the first one was.
I really can't see me and Android getting on to be honest, which is a shame because I love the actual handset but I really don't like the operating system at all.

Launcher?!? Damn, that's unusual.
When an app does that its called a wakelock, it happens sometimes.
You could try something simple like a reboot and that might solve it or you could go to settings > applications manager > all > touchwiz home (something like that) and clear data.
Alternatively you could download a vanilla android launcher like nova or apex from the play store.
your launcher is your home screens and your app drawer.
Search xda for "betterbatterystats" and use that app to see what else is causing these wakelocks.
Repeat the same thing tomorrow and that'll give you precise info on the troublesome apps.

dont clear ram! everytime u do that all the apps have to re-open and it only drains battery.
try to let android handle the ram.
and also let the battery drain a few times and charge at once.
battery should last at least 24 hours with 2-3 hours screen time.
also use wifi rether then 3g

Hey, but where is your point, if you really don't like Android and you just want a bigger screen get the new iPhone 5.

Just getting the better battery stats app. Charge to full. Leave unchanged overnight and when you wake up in the morning, see what is causing the drain and fix it.

Seriously, what are you doing here? It seems like Android is not for everybody, at least it's not for you... You are doing something really wrong to have that battery drain, or your device is defective.

What rom are you using?, App's? did your update your phone to the lastest official version?, Maybe it's not your phone, maybe it's the software you are using, maybe the android version, maybe your are doing something wrong, give us more info to help you, just dont say "no..." to every aswer the people give you, be polite!
Trying to figure out why my battery life is relatively crappy (usually averaging >8% drain/hour under typical use), even when I'm not using the device.
Anyone on Marshmallow (Android 6.0) able to experience the 'Deep Sleep' processor state? I cannot, and I'm trying to determine if there's a particular app (or more) that's causing wakelocks, or if this is just something I need to live with. Without root, it's nearly impossible to tell what's causing wakelocks directly.
If it is an app, I can try to find it, but I really don't want to uninstall and then selectively re-install hundreds of apps only to find out that the device doesn't sleep anyway (if rooted, I could freeze all user apps and then slowly unfreeze, but that's not an option without root).
To be clear, I'm NOT talking about the Doze feature that comes with Android 6.0. I'm talking about the Deep Sleep processor state that is below the low (384Mhz) processor state.
On all my other previous devices, I've achieved this state - granted, most of these were rooted, and I had custom ROMS and custom governors. This device seems to use the Interactive Governor. Maybe that governor doesn't sleep at all?
Anyway, if one or more of you confirm that you're achieving this state, then I'll burn some more time on it, otherwise....
thanks!

Yes, Android 6. Unfortunately wake lock info is all but useless without root, unless the offender is really obvious.
I uninstalled almost 130 apps, and this far have reinstalled a little over half. The good news is that she's sleeping again. The bad news is that I'm still not sure which app was causing the issue.

A factory reset helped me out after the update
Be thankful you aren't me right now. I just rooted and put xposed on my phone and my battery is draining from 100% to dead in about 2hours 45minutes...with no screen on time. Granted I'm using wifi tether but still that isn't good, nor normal. When I'm using the phone it's dying at an extreme rate; Like phones from 4 and 5 years ago would. Battery usage says android system is causing most of the drain. Something is seriously wrong ><

That's just wrong. Did you change out the ROM for a custom one, or just root? You might want to try a full wipe and start over if you haven't already.
Truthfully, a couple months ago I debated not taking the MM upgrade so that I could root 5.1.x. - ostensibly to give me more control over battery-related information and activities. I took the upgrade, and - now that my device is sleeping again - I'm kinda glad I did - Android's getting better at controlling rogue apps and with other battery saving methods (e.g., Doze mode). I guess what I'm saying is that if you can't fix your massive drain issue, you could always unroot and take the upgrade ...

I got it sorted. Back to normal battery life.
I was actually on MM for a while but I had to get another phone because my old one started having some screen issues and the one they sent me had 5.1.1 on it so I decided to go ahead and not upgrade this time so I could root and have xposed. For now I'm sticking with 5.1.1 Now that I have everything setup I'm getting great battery life. I got over 4 hours of SOT time yesterday and today 6/6/2016 I got over 3 hours of SOT and 2 hours of tethering and about 10 hours overall before having to plug in.
Once I wiped after OTA my battery was WAY better.
I'm having a serious battery drain problem that i cannot figure out. I'm on mm 6.0 and the phone won't doze nor deep sleep. I did a factory reset several times and it's still eating battery in a ridiculous manner. Any help is appreciated.

Hey everyone,
The battery life on my S9+ seems extremely mediocre. After not even 2 hours of SOT I am left with less then 25% battery. Also, Google seems to be using the most battery.

Is this a recognizable and fixable problem or should I send it back?
Thanks for your help!
That could be due to not-so-optimized software.
My device is still stuck on the January update, so I'd guess that there will be an update soon.
Future updates might very well fix / improve the SoT, so it's basically down to: do you want to wait for updates or are you willing to use custom roms down the line?
If you answered "no" to both, then feel free to return it and get a different device.

You can pretty much be confident it'll be a software issue and nothing to do with hardware. There will be fixes and optimizations coming. Naturally the battery burns down a lot faster in the first few days.

I'm now on 2 percent after 2 hours and 10 minutes SOT. Surely this must be more than unoptimized software? My S8+ lasted way longer and software wise it seems the same.

That's not normal at all. Do you use the Google app regularly? Perhaps for voice searches or something like that?
I'ts not supposed to drain anywhere near that much.
The March security patch OTA was released for some countries today, check for an update, and after installing it, I'd recommend a factory reset and then start from scratch.

I don’t use the Google App at all I think. I do have Google Assisant and “OK Google” on, but surely that cannot be the cause? I haven’t used it once today.
I’m letting it charge back to 100% after which I will see if there’s an update. If it’s the same thing tommorow, i should probably return it, right?

No, don't return it just yet. This isn't a hardware problem.
Check if there's an update for the Google app, if not, here is the latest stable APK for it:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-app-7-22-24-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
Once you install this. Clear cache and data for the app, reboot your phone. Charge it fully to 100% and then go about your day and see if the battery life changes.
If it doesn't, give it one last shot by doing a factory reset (and/or updating to the March patch), and then observing battery drain.
If all that fails, then yeah sure, return it.
You have some weird thing going on
As you can see the battery is great it might be that its downloading all of your email attachments you should disable downloading email attachments via wifi on your gmail account. Reset phone and dont install it see how it goes first

I installed the latest Google app using the link you provided and cleared the cache and data. There weren't any software updates available yet, however.
I do have a suspicion. Normally I always set my phone up from scratch but this time I used Samsung Smart Switch to quickly move things over from my S8+. I've got a feeling that this may be the cause but I'm not sure. I'll see how it goes first before I reset my phone.

Betterbatterystats
It can take at least several charge/discharge cycles for the metrics related to discharge levels to home in an a reasonably accurate curve, and this also depends on your particular app usage pattern. For now, as the HGTTU says: "Don't Panic!"
i've countlessly reset my phone, even tried a custom rom (lineage) and still, my phone is draining and heating up like crazy. if anyone could help, i'd be grateful.

What variant do you have?
Since battery on the V30 series on stock firmware is excellent, it sounds like you have a rogue app. There's been a spate of apps that got into Google store which have ad malware running in the background. The draining and heating up like crazy sound exactly like what others who had installed those apps complained about. You need to investigate if you have any of those apps, and uninstall them. Look in battery app usage, see if any thing stands out.
Besides that, even for normal apps, you can also Greenify all which do not need background permission (which do not need to be running when you are not using them). When you click to use them, they will open, and when you close them they will go back into hibernation. I don't want my calculator app running in the background when I'm not using it. Obviously you would not use that on email, weather widgets, etc.
Last, you can always use LGUP Refurbish mode to rebuild your stock firmware. You will have to unlock bootloader and root again, but you'll have a new foundation again.
If you want to find out which app is draining your battery, there is only one app I'm aware of that can help you: Wakelock Detector Lite.
Download, follow the instructions.
sorry, i had added some screenshots from gsam but idk why they weren't posted as well.
so in the midtime i've tried another 2 custom roms, havoc os and dot os, and they were better with the battery, but not great, and had performance issues like stuttering while scrolling or lag in animations, so i decided to go back to stock hoping battery would be better. turns out it wasn't the case, i'm still getting something like 5h sot (which is quite bad for me), but at least it isn't heating up anymore, just a bit warm to the touch. it's draining in standby also, and system os and kernel (and also google play and services)
here are some screenshots:
https://ibb.co/4VGbKzd
https://ibb.co/gw5HXrN
i have to mention that i'm also rooted with magisk, but all i'm using is ainur sauron and jamesdsp (audio mods), and i can confirm that they are not the cause
will try using wakelock detector as well and post screenshots later, as i cannot at the moment
thanks for responding though, thought this tread would go by without anyone answering
edit: i've also reinstalled a lot of times using lg up refurbish, and it's still did the same. this time i did it with twrp

Those audio mods are garbage. They disable the quad dac.
Now for the lag and battery drain that you experience. Did you flash rtcd and verify?

I don't know about you, but these mods do not disable the quad dac whatsoever. Actually, sauron activates high impendance mode, giving me flawless volume (my headphones are low imp but still aren't fully driven by the normal audio)

Why didn't he? It's clearly in the bootloader unlock and root Instructions.
Every time you flash stock KDZ you have to fully re-root. The only exception is when installing TWRP-flashable zip, which already has that removed.
(Just read where he says most recent time he used TWRP flashable zip.)

I think that rctd is quite obsolete for detecting magisk/systemless root. Rctd is on default state in my H932, it will report my device as official (via LGMENU), and no logs/traces that proof rctd is active behind the 'scenes' (via "ps | grep rctd" in terminal). I don't notice any difference with or without rctd enabled, and I believe, LG won't update its rctd algorithm anytime soon (perhaps you're already know why )

Actually, i did try RTCD Disabler, but it didn't make a difference whatsoever, it even told me, before flashing, that no activity was found. Also, the twrp zip that i had flashed had daemon removed. Maybe i'm not getting the right version or something? I got it from XDA Labs.
What i could say is that i flashed a older kdz, 21o, and it worked fine, but after updating to 22j it just ****ed up. Maybe that could be the cause? (i didn't install anything btw, just ran it full stock)
Also, sorry for being a noob, i'm kinda new here.

resolve my battery problem, I also restricted background process for vance you tube since got notification that programme drain phone battery.

Please refer my battery usage attached, I'm not set battery saver on my phone.
i finally did fix the issue, i don't know what it was but anyways, battery is very strong now, at least when i'm actively using the phone. it could get me to 8+ hours of use, but another problem now seems to be standby drain, which kills my battery way too quickly than it should. i usually lose 1-2% per hour, or even more, and it gets even worse when i'm in motion. like, let's say i'm outside right now, hanging out with some friends. i open up the phone for few secs, close it, open it again after 15 mins and i lose a percentage. i was even running naptime so i don't know what could be wrong.

yeah, you're right. maybe i'm just too nitpicky about the phone, it may have to do with the knock on as touch screen is always on and stuff like that, but i love that feature so i won't turn it off. anyways, it'd be cool to find a way to reduce the idle drain, as it's bigger than on most other phones.

Every phone I've owned, you can never rely on the reviewed standby time. I've had some junkers in the past (mostly time reduced by poorly made custom ROMs), but I'm on stock with this V30+. Best battery life I've ever had by far.

So SRTC
com.tmobile.pr.adapt
Also flash RTC and no verity

Edit, no need for com.tmobile.pr.adapt since you don't have an H932. But SRTC does drain a bit in stand by. It sends info to LG as I understand it.

thanks for the tip. i disabled srtc with lg package disabler, but i don't quite understand the rtc no verity thingy. also, i think i found out what could be actually draining the battery in standby for good, and that has to be the sensors. i don't know how or why, but when i activated the mode which disables all motion sensors on the naptime app, my phone discharged really slowly in idle. however, i could not keep it like this because it was buggy and my phone would take 5 seconds to wake up, and touch didn't even work, only the power button. maybe if there was some way to stop the phone's sensors in idle, like the motion sensor or the accelerometer, or whatever is draining the battery.
