Hello everyone,
As so many peoples, my elephone p9000 is in low battery state in one day or less :crying:
I don't know why, so i will give you 2 examples.
On last saturday, my battery was charged to 74%, i have turned it off during the night.
I Turned on in the morning (6 AM), disabled data and wifi, i setted the luminosity as lower than acceptable and idled it.
I was at Disneyland park and i used it 3-4 times to take photos, recorded 1 video, checked the waiting time of the attractions (data enabled and turned off after); no phone calls, played 5mn at a game and at 3 PM : No more battery . I was so disappointed !!
Yesterday, same actions before to go to the bed (disabled data and wifi, i setted the luminosity as lower than acceptable , turned on power saving mode and idled it), battery state : 63% ; at 6 AM : 42%.
This is not acceptable, so what can i do ??? Can someone help me please ?
Regards.
Disable fingerprint and check again
Hi, thanks for your answer ; i check in parameters/security/fingerprint and i don't set it ; only smartlock.
How can i disable it definitively ?
I'm on android 6.0, build ELEPHONE_P9000_20170112.
Regards.
Are you using it at the moment?

its normal for the device be low on battery in less than a day.. as do all devices, usually it lasts around 5 hours under moderate use, time can change, depending on what apps are installed, and which rom is installed and how it controls deepsleep... What i think you should do is, get a nice powerbank and take it with you, or for example, when i go to achool, i leave home with my phone at 100% at around 6:40am, then i arrive home at around 1:40pm, i have around 40% left, which then i use my 1:30hour to charge it up, the thing ive seen is that i need at least 2 charges every day, its not bad, since i dont mind it.. And also, all of this was under moderate brightness, wifi when available and 4G, i however rarily use the camera since its really crappy imo... Such a crap, that ill be getting the s8+ instead..
If you cant charge it, just buy the powerbank and charge it when needed, if you want to know i currently use a 10000mAh powerbank and it can charge my phone at +~ 3 times

So that is not a problem and that's is why FP menu option is not shown on the settings.
Try disabling wifi scan, wifi location and check your apps.
I also have an Automate (app) flow for changing ton 2g when screen off.
I'm on Nougat official and battery lasts two days for me

Hi all
This is my first post, so let's hope I've gotten it right and am abiding by all the rules and the n00b video. And yes I did search for a good 10 minutes about batterylife and battery before posting and didn't find anything relevant.
I've recently swapped over from Apple iPhone and I'm now very much enjoying being on Android. However batterylife is a big concern for me, as on iPhone I could go 2-3 days without charging and now I can barely make it home from work and I definately have to plug it in before dinner. And yes this is with me closing down applications, wifi when not used, bluetooth when not used, running latest kies released PHONE:LFB firmware and so on.
So my question is... how is your batterylife after having rooted and installed a custom rom? The one I'm thinking mostly about using is definately the new Preview 3 (or perhaps wait for 4 or 5) of CM10, that XpLoDWilD is working on. Does anyone have any experience with the batterylife before and after?
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide! :highfive:

That's very weird. Are you international or a US S3? I easily get 3 days battery, very easily. Perhaps try turning off useless stuff like bluetooth, gps, wifi, etc when you're not using them. Turn off push email and other useless crap. See how it goes then?
I still have the stock ROM, usually 3.5 days battery before it gets to 10% and i charge. I'm going to go to OMEGA rom soon though.
I have tried almost all custom roms out there. And I can easily say the battery life is not any better if not worse on custom roms.
Stick with the stock rom. I would however recommend flashing a custom kernel like speedmod or phenomenal. They definitely give you that extra juice you need at the end of the day. The idle time and screen time has increased for me 10 to 20 % compared to stock.

I'm using the international version. I did turn off bluetooth and wifi, but not gps. Will try that aswell. I have manuel mail check every 1 hour, but will try to set it to 4 hours.
However from what I read in the reviews on GSMarena and other sites, it's quite normal to only get 1 day worth of battery.
Description of a pretty basic day with the Galaxy S3:
I usually unplug mine at 6 am, with wifi and bluetooth off and screen always on auto brigthness. Then at 7 am i turn on bluetooth for my earphones and bike to the train station and browse the web and such for about 45 minutes in the train. When I arrive at work it's usually around 80% battery and I turn off bluetooth. Then I'm at work from 8 am to 4 pm and check mails, texts, calendar and possibly make 1 or 2 short phone calls. At 4 pm I think the battery is often around 40-50%. Then again on the ride home I use the same, so it's usually around 20-30% when I come home. I then usually turn on wifi and play a couple of games, or watch some Netflix on it while I'm doing some other stuff or attach it to my stereo and play so music from Spotify on it. At 6-7 pm it's usually beeping at the 5, 10 or 15% marker for more power and wants me to plug it in to a power source. If I try to wait till I go to bed, I usually end up having it automatically shut down from lack of power.
I'm wondering if this seems normal or if perhaps my battery is faulty. From the review at GSMarena it seems quite normal and that's just the way Android is. They even gave it a good battery rating inspite of saying that it would only last them a day.

Okay, thank you for your reply
it all depends on the usage i have an iphone 4 as well and i have to charge it by the end of the day (at 10pm). So it dpends on what you do with your phone if you use 3g all the time thats not gonna last long if you have syncing on all the time and gps that wont help...if you just let it idle then you can get 3 days uptime with maybe 1 hour screen time.

My basic day is charge the phone at around 8pm, unplug at 10pm. I never charge overnight it's pointless (not that i think it'll hurt it). Wake up battery is usually around 95% after my alarm goes off. Brightness is about 60%. I don't browse the web very much, and I don't play many games, let's say 1 hour of web and 1 hour of games/videos/music per day. Maybe 1 hour of maps too. Mostly though, I text message and phone call.
I don't think yours is faulty, i think it's quite normal, it seems like you're a heavy user, I'm a light user. If I used my phone as heavily as you did i'd be happy with 1 day of battery.
One day of charge (the battery being at 20-40% at the end of the day depending on the usage) is quite normal.
I've found CM9 with Siyah to give the best standby battery (1-2% drain per hour with 3G and Sync enabled) since it's very lightweight and has no battery-draining bloatware other than what you install.
CM10 is still too new and unfinished to be battery-friendly, it's not that bad though.
However sometimes it will chew the battery for no freaking reason (at least I cannot found any) and the CM9/CM10 stock kernel is not that battery-friendly on active usage. No Siyah yet =(

No way is that good man, that means that if you leave it on standby alone you lose 25% per day. 0.5% per hour would be good/normal IMO.
Thinking of upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge but worried about that the battery life won't be the same as my Note 4. I normally got around 4 hours on screen time with a charging time of 90 ish minutes, does the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge really beat that?
Share you screen on time screenshots with your S6 Edge. Does having the curved screen always on information stream drain your battery? What's your screen on time with bluetooth turned on most of the time,
Does 15 minutes of charge really provide you with 2 hours of watching HD video, does it have to be the default player or can it be any, like MX Player
I'm just gonna leave this here.

I always get 5hrs 40 mins watching Netflix on data so yeah it should. Most people get about 4hr 30 mins and up.
Well, i am one of those that never get the Screen time people show they get, i guess it's my brightness settings or that i leave everything on, bluetooth, nfc, wifi, gps etc..
I have the phone for 2 weeks and never went under 40% of battery , but at 40% i was with 8 hours on battery , 1h 28 min of screen on time. So i have the feeling that for me wont last over 3h of screen time. I might have some high drainage on stand by thought , wakelock or something. Today i charged my phone and went for a bike ride , so i barely used the phone, right now i have 82% of battery - 5h 45 min on battery with 19min screen on time.
Just sharing , not saying the phone's battery sucks. For me it's fine.
Depends on lots of factors. Some people have really bad battery life while others have awesome battery life. I've never had an issue with regards to battery life and I recently rooted and swapped to Edgar's debloated rom. I am using Kt kernel on stock clocks with undervolting on big and little cores of around 75. Unfortunately I got stuck with some bad binned chips or I would have under volted even more. Usage consists of Netflix, tapatalk, reddit and Facebook (web), and texting. I'm not a gamer but I do play clash of clans for about 15 minutes a few times during this cycle.
I can't attach my photos for some reason.
Sounds awesome. I would love to get around 5 hours of Screen on time with Bluetooth on and connected to my Gear S. I would mostly be using it to browse the web, play YouTube videos and download large files often. Do you have to give the battery time to adjust to your habit to get the maximum amount of usage.
The battery takes time to settle down. I think 4hrs sot should be possible for medium use. This is what I've always got with all the Samsung phones. I used to get near 5hrs sot with note 4. I've only had the phone a few days now and the battery was very poor to start with and used to get soooo hot during charging. It seems to be settling down...else is going back. ...I'm still trying to get used to the size lol

When I've received my watch I've charged it to 100 % and after that I've played with It half a day.
Next day I've had 40 % maybe.
Do you need more details ?
If you constantly turn on the light and full screen it of course doesn't last long.
To better measure the batery performance,
it best to recommended you to put on standy mod after fully charged.
It kinda hard to determine how the brightness you set while playing your watch, what the intensive vibration you had set, if you connected to Wi-Fi, if connected to phone bluetooth and etc.
Usually any new toys you received will prompt a problem of battery drain issues due to massive playing with it. It new, by nature human man kind would definitely to explore non stop.
Follow my advice above to let it be stanby mode and the monitor. Then after post your find out.

i woud suggest you to disconnect your watch with your phone at all. do not use it at all and not necessary on airplane mode.
Then you monitor the battery performance. if the battery life still the same.... i do suspect some form hardware failure given if your watch is stock rom and done nothing using 3rd party apps or connection at all.

I MIGHT have figured out my battery drain culprit. I went back to a vanilla factory. I then updated the latest firmware and 24 hours later was on about 86%. At work, I use the countdown timer four or five times for 25 minutes each and my charge went down to around 40% over 10 hours. Will try tomorrow and NOT use the timer and see where I end up.
Come on, the watch has that high battery live when it is mostly sleeping, which is also when it has the low screen resolution.
If you use the timer, or paceon, or constantly switch on the light, then you have no battery live at all.
The same goes for bluetooth music.
Hi all,
So I've got a rooted v30 and the battery life is not great, getting about 5 hours screen on time from 100 to 0. I've tried using wakelock but cannot get it to work, keep getting the 'this operation cannot be done' at this time message even after leaving it on for a few days or so. What alternative apps should I use to find out what's causing the drain?
Should say I don't use auto brightness, generally have 0 screen brightness really.
I also get 10% knocked off overnight whilst not using the phone, what prompted me to root the phone was losing 25% over one night once, thankfully that has stopped.
it might be the sim card to blame. i am also having bad battery as long as i am not at home on my wifi, about 5 hours IF i'm lucky, while at home i can even get to 8 damn hours, even while playing games. try using bbs or gsam, and maybe, if you do not urgently need your phone, try supervising it with data on for an hour and then on airplane mode for one hour, and see if there's a difference.
Is this some kind of prank? 5h is bad result? If you have more than 5h means that you not using the phone. Always 3G on, Facebook, messenger, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, chrome. With using everything I'am getting max 4h SOT and about 18-20h out of charger. Where is the magic trick to make a 6-7h SOT??

I get 9+ hours of SOT per charge, and I can get 14+ and have in the recent past, even hit 17.5 hours of SOT at one point (watching some movies). It's not an impossible thing, seriously, but every phone is different and so is every user and how they use their devices.
And... I never use Battery Saver either, go figure.
Here's my 14.75...
My battery life might be worst than the OP
Something going on with Chrome for both of you that are having such horrible drain according to those screenshots. I'd personally say remove Chrome - uninstall it if possible or at least roll it back to the original default version, then clear out the cache on the device/reboot it afterward and then perhaps re-install it to the latest available version. If that doesn't help I'd suspect perhaps the battery itself has seen better days - the V30 has been out for 2+ years now so if you've got one that came from an original production run long ago you might end up having to replace the battery whether you want to or not.
But there is definitely something going on there with respect to Chrome and it's not good. I've been 2-4 hours at a time with Chrome running on my V30 while I looked at Reddit/Tumblr/etc sites, constantly with the display on at 50% brightness where I always have it at home and Flipboard uses way more power on mine than Chrome ever has.

But I have 4000mah battery, better processor - 7nm, and so on. But 17h SOT it seems impossible. Maybe somehow your rooted rom calculates also AOD feature.... ?

I don't use AOD, it's kinda pointless to me overall - and I'm someone that used to use that feature on a Motorola Moto X which was the first phone to ever have that feature but Motorola is still the only one that really did it right IMO.
I don't use auto-brightness; that's just another thing that can sap up some power for no really good purpose. I leave my V30 at 50% brightness unless I go outside where I typically use 75-90% and never more, I never use 100% brightness and nobody ever really should on any OLED tech displays but that's just a personal preference I suppose. When watching videos I set the brightness to 75% - that 17.5 hour run I had was when I spent time in a hospital where my Wife was undergoing surgery and I had nothing better to do so I watched a lot of videos most of the day into the night, probably 12+ hours of movies/TV shows, etc. The AC plug on the wall in her hospital room was too far away (I just had a 3 foot USB cable with me) so I just let the damned phone run down save for a ~20 minute period (slow charging) where I plugged in with an external battery pack so did influence the run time just a bit (probably added 2 hours overall).
And again, I never use Battery Saver. I don't need it so I never bother enabling it even when the V30 tells me the battery is down low and I should.
Wi-Fi pretty much always unless I'm out and about in town for something which is when I use the T-Mobile service I have, 50% brightness always except in some situations, nothing really running in the background, I don't do social media crap like Facebook or Whatsapp, Twitter, etc. Don't use Bluetooth for much of anything - I do have a Bluetooth speaker at home but most of the time I'm using my laptop at home so I have my headphones on.
Dark themes on as many apps as possible and I'm using the Dark G7 theme from the Play Market that many of us use. I also have no intentions of using Android 9 Pie either, Oreo is damned near perfect on my V30 and I'm not even interested in ruining how well everything works right now.

what version of oreo are you at? im getting some worse battery on pie with my V300L (korean)so i was thinking of going back to oreo since the only positive thing on pie was that manual rotation control. best i could reach on pie was 7 hrs and then i could never do it again even with light usage.
Uhmmm... Oreo is Android 8, and the last update for mine was the 20h build (since it's a converted H931 to a US998).

May i know the link to Dark G7 theme?

Apparently the developer of that theme - which was free - has now changed it and it might not work on the V30 with Oreo as it did (and does) for me and they're charging for it too:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.g7.dark
There might be another one, I don't know, guess I'll have to back up the APK I have for the older version since it can't be downloaded from the Play Store any longer. This one might work (same developer) but again they're charging for it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.g7.outray

Is this some kind of prank? 5h is bad result? If you have more than 5h means that you not using the phone. Always 3G on, Facebook, messenger, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, chrome. With using everything I'am getting max 4h SOT and about 18-20h out of charger. Where is the magic trick to make a 6-7h SOT??

Lol I agree. I used to get around 5h SOT on earlier builds of Havoc, which is honestly the best I could ever get, but now I get average 3h SOT on Havoc. I can't even comprehend how people could get even more than that.
Like, no offense to anyone who is getting way more than 5h, but that is just impossible without sacrificing core apps such as Google, Chrome, or play services.
But then again, maybe every V30 was made different. Some people are probably lucky and have maintained a perfectly healthy battery (while mines is already down to 89%).

thanks for replying

from the same developer...it looks good.
I have the S23 Ultra since February 3rd and battery life gets better and better.
I don't know what to say. I think this s23 ultra is faulty. I can't be at 29% battery used with over 6 hours screen on time! Light use, from 80% charge
15 hours total uptime, 8 and a half hours screen off time, gotta sleep sometime. LIGHT performance profile used and screen at 60hz cause 120hz my eyes can hardly see. It's smoother yes, but barely, battery life is king for me
All on WiFi, location on, most apps sleeping. Gobsmacked. It's beating the redmagic 8 pro that's in the household with its 6k mah battery.
I'm expecting a lot less using mobile data, surely

Amazing battery
This phone is perfect
Got it since February 10th in the USA and I can only say battery has been great. Compared to my other phones ( coming from a pixel 7 pro and a Xiaomi mi 11 5g) the battery life is just excellent on this s23 ultra, for such a big device and huge screen size I think Samsung finally nailed it. No sleeping apps, not profile settings just plain stock and so far so good. Wifi and data on 24/7, location on 24/7, VPN 24/7 . The browser times where spent a huge time watching videos from it, almost an hour of video calling and shooting some video and photos, couple of sessions of gaming.
Full Hd, adaptuve screen, performance mode

How much do you lose on standby? Say overnight, while sleeping, over 8-10 hours how much do you lose ?
My last check yesterday was 3 percent

Thanks, is that with WiFi data Bluetooth GPS etc off? How many hours standby did you lose 3% on?
The amazing battery life has a lot to do with the display too. It is a hugely more efficient panel.
Samsung gave the Galaxy S23 series a new energy-efficient AMOLED display
Samsung confirmed that it has fitted the Galaxy S23 line with a new type of AMOLED display that saves on power.
www.androidauthority.com
All on. Wifi. Data. Location. Bluetooth. Performance mode.
I'm so happy with this battery performance and am afraid to update OS when it comes out...Given the great track record of Samsung breaking things that don't need fixing, there's a high probability that the battery life will go for a toss
Had my s23 ultra since 7 Feb and consistently get just under 10 hours of SOT (most of my day is indoors on WiFi, with a 2 or 3 hours walk most afternoons in 4g)
I am running pretty.much on default settings for screen and battery - I just use my phone normally and forget about battery optimisation settings
This is the best battery.life EVER on a Samsung!
After 2 weeks with the 23u and my standard use of it i have from 85% to 30% (i never go below 30%) 4h SoT

I think it is ok. I use performance mode, all location, Bluetooth with watch, some 5G, some WiFi etc.
I mostly read on phone, scrolling...

Have you done anything specific in battery settings? Any debloating? Is this with wqhd + 120hz? Standard mode or lite mode? What's your battery settings ?

Yes I did debloat, light batter profile and battery saving (it's more than powerfu enough).
Plus I have disabled all the nearby services for smarthings find the phone offline wifi quick share etc.
I don't like having the phone always sending radio signals around for no reason

Can you give a brief list of what you debloated?
Also, android system intelligence service, is that even a necessary app? Would cause any issues if I disabled/deleted it?

Honestly I didn't track the changes, but I followed this guide
[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide
THIS IS A SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES OUT OF SUPPORT/CLOSED I - RECOMMENDED SETTINGS To Start With - Factory Reset before starting optimisations - Factory Reset after every Major update (One UI/Android) - Remove SIM before first...
forum.xda-developers.com
I wasn't even too much aggressive with debloating, maybe I'll go for a second round
