Hello everybody, here I am for some informations about the battery life of galaxy alpha. I am using an official stock rom 5.0.2 of Samsung. I charge my phone 2 or 3 times per day, but recently I check the battery usage in the setting and I see the wifi seems to be actived all the time even I set it off. Please check the attachment file for screenshot. I just wonder if the problem comes from firmware or I just have to change my battery?
Best regards

I don't know which firmware I have to use, I'm afraid I will lose all the functions of Samsung. I had flashed the cyanogenmod on my old galaxy note, it's not stable at all. I just hope the Alpha will receive any update (marshmallow) even this may not be happend.

nono you need to flash official firmware,,http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G850F/ just click on any of this firmawares if you have sm-g850f, but try to restart first, sometimes you need to fully restart the mobile device or take it to place where you bu it, they cann show you how... for the MM it will come but it will come as a last device update.. beause there is smal smal smal amount of alpha users so thats not a priority this is great device, just need some love and attention sorry for bad english

Yes, I am using this battery and it is perfect (2500 mAh instead of 1860), but it hasn't NFC (I don't care... never used it)
Does it last longer than the 1860 battery? There are cheap ones on eBay that claim to be 2500, but I doubt they last longer than the 1860.

I am on official firmware update from OTA, if I flash the official firmware from sammobile, it's the same thing I doubt... I am in France, if I flash the firmware that come from other countries, I'm afraid it wouldn't run correctly and there's maybe some problems with the network.
Wi-fi location scanning
There are two possibilities for excessive battery consumption with wi-fi. If your phone is set to always scan, then this will still cause the battery to drain as the wi-fi is never really disabled.
Disable this function with 'Settings > Wi-fi > advanced > always keep wi-fi on > never' the advanced settings are under the little 3dot menu at the top right of the wi-fi settings screen.
The other option may be that Google's location services may be causing a drain by using wi-fi to geolocate you.
Try disabling location services for a day and see how it pans out for you.
If neither of these help then I'm all out.
Good luck

Is the battery thicker and do you need a different backcover to fit the battery?
Hello everyone,
I come with a problem that I've been having for two months now: every custom ROM I have installed (unofficial LOS13, LOS14.1, Omni 7.1, RR) has a huge battery drain of about 4-5% per hour in idle state if it's using data. It's 3G HSPA+ with the signal being mostly on the green side, mind you. This is not a problem of the battery itself, because I have switched back to MIUI and the idle battery drain is reasonable (around 2% every three or four hours). It doesn't seem to be a deep sleep problem either, as wakelock detectors have detected the phone in deep sleep and I've even used ForceDoze. I also turn off most sync options by default.
The problem seems to come when I install those ROMs with either GApps or MicroG; the battery stats show Google/MicroG Services making this huge battery drain and it's attributed to it being Mobile Radio Active.
I have tried submitting a bug report to LOS14.1's bug tracker a month and a half ago, but I've got no response at all from the maintainer, only people mentioning they have the same problem. The developer of the Radon kernel also tried to help, but in the end it seemed like this problem may not have to do with the kernel (tried his kernel on MIUI and there was no drain, but I got drain in any Custom ROMs with it, same as any Custom ROM default kernel).
I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm at a loss of what to do. I'd like to stay far away from MIUI, but at the same time I don't want to have to charge my battery every day with a very light usage. Can anyone with some technical knowledge help?
Thanks
EDIT: Should add that I've done the tests with no other app installed besides the default ones plus Open GApps Pico/MicroG.
1% every two hours isn't good either, maybe your carrier doesn't have fast dormancy and that's why you get battery drain. Might be a long shot but worth trying to disable it.
Can't help with how to do it though since I didn't look into it.

Well, MIUI is kinda very bloated, and I'm using dual SIM (GSM connection to the second one), so to me it seems normal it has drain when there's so much stuff waking the device up. Anyway, I'm trying the disabled fast dormancy now on RR, but it seems like the mobile radio is still very active during doze (although it seems to me to be a bit less active than with it on). It's just a bit, but thanks for the help!
I have the exact same problem the standby time for me is great but the battery life is bad when I use my phone (SOT) with or without 3G/4G or wifi on
I'm on RR

I think atm android is reporting play services drain wrongly.
Mine shows play services kept the device awake for 2 hours but GSam shows play services held it for 47 seconds and total is 42 minutes, at least half of it was Bluetooth streaming.
So use GSam and maybe bbs to figure out what's going on and if mobile radio drains too much.

Well, the battery drain is definitely there, and it only happens when I install GApps (Open GApss Pico)/MicroG. Also, I've done these tests with no other app installed, so there's no other possible culprit that I see besides something from the system, which seems to be the case, as I only have the drain in custom ROMs and not official MIUI with Google stuff.

@Nowowo
So I'm one of those which have this exact problem.
So I have two main theories about this problem:
1-I'm beginning to think that this is not related to some kind of bug that is in the custom rom's firmware, but to SOMETHING THAT IS MISSING in every custom rom, in every kernel and in every firmware later than a certain time, that was supposed to always stay in the phone from the factory condition.
This missing thing might be the DRIVERS for the MODEMS that drive the antenna in our cell, that connects to the carriers bands.
2-It might be that our cellular carriers are switching things around (like updating to 4g networks), and since our phone is not compatible with band 20 (800 mHz) our snartphone can't receive 3g as well as before.
So, for starting to organize a real troubleshoot guide for this big problem, we need to start with small steps.
The first maybe to ask each other (the ones who refer to this exact problem) some questions, for clearing the path of trouble shooting:
1-Which is the country where you live (approximately)?
2-What carrier do you have?
3-Have you ever unlocked the phone using the unofficial way?
.Carlocarnev2000: I live in Italy, I have coopvoce carrier (a vitual carrier under TIM networks, which are most powerful here in Italy), I have always unlocked the phone with the official way.
We can stay strong and find a way to solve this!

I have tried to disable fast dormancy too... But trust me, it will just reduce your battery drain a bit, but because it's a forced way to make the cell modem to connect always with the same frequencies without changing them. Fast dormancy these days is integrated in every phone and in every firmware, and it is a wide spread technology in all over the world. It is useless to try to disable it.
We need to find why this problem affects our phones.

I agree with your point 1, maybe Xiaomi added something to their official ROM that custom ROMs are missing. As for 2, that should be a problem only with 4G in Europe, I believe, but it happens to me in 3G with voice over LTE disabled and the connection option being one of those that don't have 4G.
As for the questions, I'm from Western Europe, my carrier uses band 900 for 3G (Orange), which is the only connection I use and my phone has been officially unlocked.

It is definetily the fault of the modem drivers that are baked in every single rom.
It maybe that our modem antenna in our device is different (by version or manufacturer) and that the drivers right for our antenna are missing. @Nowowo @{s3rious}Where did you buy your kenzo's from?
I personally bought it from Gearbest almost a year ago (20/07/2016).
I'm doing some research on the antenna versions...
Oh I forgot to mention, firmware from official roms suck.
That's the one posted in official Los thread too.
I extracted the firmware from a Xiaomi. Eu rom and got a more stable signal, maybe it will solve the drain.

Yeah I think that, since we live in europe, and the developers live in eastern and western countries (like arabia and america), they have totally forgotten our device from europe, and they stopped putting in the right versions of drivers for europe.
@vkass But the point is: since TheStrix's firmware is extracted directly from the xiaomi global developer firmware without any changes.
This all means that the official Xiaomi firmware has forgotten the european users!
So now we have to tell TheStrix to somehow include the firmware from Xiaomi.eu into his version, so that in the future it will be integrated and we will not have the need to flash the one from xiaomi.eu.

I don't think that is the problem. I did one of my installs over a xiaomi.eu ROM and it stayed the same. Also, my signal is practically the same both in MIUI and LOS (as per *#*#4636#*#* phone command). It stays in the green side, don't listen to the signal bar thing because in MIUI it requires less signal strength than on LOS to show a full bar.
If it were something from the bundled firmware, I believe it would affect the official ROM, but it doesn't. I think it is the ROM, that maybe can't make full use of the firmware or is missing something.
As for me, I bought my phone off some aliexpress shop with good rating around 8 months ago.

@Nowowo What I am trying to say is that the signal fluctuaitions are a bad bug that afflicts us european users that try to use custom roms as a whole. And it's because the official miui software lacks the support for europe. In fact now I'm on miui beta (global developer) 7.6.29 and the 3g signal reception is as bad as the one from the custom roms (if not worse).
The only ones that support in some way the our device (kenzo) at a european level is the xiaomi.eu team, in fact there not only the antenna sensitivity is improoved, but also the gps and the compass is optimized for our satellites far better.
What I am trying to say is that the official xiaomi software leaves out on the most important parts such as those said before.
If it isn't at firmware level what is it then?
@vkass I'll try the latest xiaomi.eu firmware.
I bought the device from HonorBuy. So you think that it has something to do with the firmware. Have you seen any improvements after you flashed xiaomi eu firmware?

Same here. I've been using stock BTU for like 2 months now. But battery life recently has been terrible. I can barely get 3hr SOT. Hopefully Oreo update that we maybe will get this year is going to fix that. Or even a Nougat update would be nice. As long as it fixes battery life..
Latest Oreo for N8 Exynos is currently CRB7 btw.

If you're struggling to get 3 hours SOT it's most likely a rogue app rather than firmware-related.

I haven't installed any apps on it. I just use it to browse web and for alarm. It also gets pretty hot.
Edit: but it only happens on BRA8. Before it was okay. I should probably flash odin version of BRA8 and that would probably help.
I just noticed that after the update that the animation scale in dev ops had changed to 1x from the 0.5 I had it set at, haven't noticed anything else as that note 8 isn't my daily driver but will be interesting to see if it happens to this one as well

Hi there!
I love fresh stuff so updates of ROM, kernel and firmware are must have for me. For the better and for the worse. It happened for the worse. I've been waiting a year for stable pie roms to appear that have zero screen wake delay and Syberia was the only room with EAS support. I thought why not. So flashed Syberia Latest in may of 2019 and latest stable, global firmware from xiaomifirmwareupdater. I was very satisfied with Syberia's experience and even more it's kernel performance that I didn't have to flash a custom kernel. I've been using the rom till yesterday for about 3 months and always flashed newer updates of Syberia and opengapps pico. My mido device started to drain battery much faster. Even that much that for example when I wake up at 6:30 am and arrive at work for 8:00 10-20% battery juice is already drained even though all I did was read comics in a simple reader. Tried to solve the issue but after all my mido device is 3 years old. got the conclusion that my battery sadly went broke. Still it was extremely annoying for me that I can't read comics for more than 7 hours during my shift (I'm a seasonal pool warden so I do nothing from 8:00 to 20:00) because my phone's battery dies no matter how I try no to let it. I've had enough so I changed rom and even firmware. Flashed latest China stable firmware which arrived in july and latest Pixel Experience. See wonder now my battery drains way slower and the phone shows me that it can run for 1 day and a bit more from 100% to 0%. I'm so happy and relieved that there isn't anything wrong with my battery.
I want to find out what caused the extreme drain. I really do. Could you guys please help me find the cause? Was it the previous firmware? Syberia updates? The stock kernel? The opengapps packages?
I have a few clues but I hope there are others with more knowledge on battery factors. Thanks a lot in advance.
Maybe kernel and apps usage. You should check the in battery statistics it may mobile network standby.

I used better battery stats all the time and it showed nothing unusual. Not on Syberia, not on PE. Furthermore I used Migrate app so I have every single app on PE that I had on Syberia with exact same settings. Perhaps the high battery drain was caused by one of Syberia's system app? If yes shouldn't I've been able to see it in BBS? If it was caused by an user installed app shouldn't the problem migrate to PE as well with the apps? I still think firmware caused the battery drain but I can't belive something certainly based on my gut.

Perhaps yes. Perhaps no. I use BBS all the time and it never showed me unusual activity on Syberia. Furthermore I used migrate app so I have every single app on PE that I used on Syberia with the exact same settings but there is no bettery drain present. If user installed apps were the cause of battery drain shouldn't the drain migrated with them as well?
I still think it could have been a firmware issue.

Did you ever try to use a bugreport + Battery Historian (Google's own tool) to check what is using your battery? I put together a small article about it on Telegra.ph the other day. Which MIUI ROM's firmware are you using actually at the moment? Some ppl. says that in less LTE covered areas the firmware derived from global stable ROM V9.6.3.0 does a really good job. Did you try to up- or downgrade the firmware? Did you ever try to disable LTE and use 2G/3G preferred or 2G/3G auto mode?

No. I never hear about those tools. All I saw over the web was better battery stats and it was widely recommended. So I used that. I was using 2019/05/16 china firmware while the battery drain was noticeable. Now I'm on 2019/07/19 china firmware and the battery drain is gone. I dunno. Since I didn't find anything about cellular network signals causing the battery drain I didn't experiment with it at all. It's constantly turned on. Like for a year now. I'll try 9.6.3.0 stable firmware and report back how battery drain is.

No. I never hear about those tools. All I saw over the web was better battery stats and it was widely recommended. So I used that. I was using 2019/05/16 china firmware while the battery drain was noticeable. Now I'm on 2019/07/19 china firmware and the battery drain is gone. I dunno. Since I didn't find anything about cellular network signals causing the battery drain I didn't experiment with it at all. It's constantly turned on. Like for a year now. I'll try 9.6.3.0 stable firmware and report back how battery drain is.

I would never use the chinese firmwares on a global phone, especially when your are not in China.. I had issues in the past with some chinese firmware versions but never had any with the global ones (here in Hungary we use different carrier technologies than companies in PRC and as far as I know global is optimised differently for a different market, not for China).

I see. Good to know. I've been using chinese firmware for a good while now without issues. But I flashed the adviced 9.6.3.0 global stable now. I'll take your advice and stay away from China firmware. It'd only make sense.
Hello everybody,
I have this beautiful phone since two days now and I'm running miui 12 on it. I love the look of it but I won't get more than 5 hours of sot. Aod switched off and 90hz on all the time. I came from Poco F1 where I easily did get round about 6 hours of sot. Anybody got the same problem and might be able to help me fix it? Thanks in advance
try to factory reset the phone
Okay you think it might help? The phone is completely new like I've said and I've even debloated it
i have the same issue with battery drain. Factory reset didnt help for me. The Wake line is constant blue with really short sleep times.
BBS said that google gms and xiaomi framework are the most battery using tools.
I will downgrade to miui 11 back until my bootloader is unlocked....
i use miui12 eu 20.6.18
an wen i have 5 houres sot i still have about 50%+ back
on miui 11 i had 6 hours sot and i had about 30% left. Now i have 2,5 hours sot and my battery has 5% left.

Anybody try downgrade?
I also had this battery drain problem on MIUI 12, i tried to factory reset, wipe data into recovery but nothing worked. And i finally solved that problem by downloading the entire MIUI 12 package for my Mi10 Europe version on official xiaomi website and by updating the complete package with update menu of the phone.
Could you give us quick steps how to do that and which exact version did you use?
