Hi, I was wondering if there is a way for me to downgrade to Android 10 as since the update, the battery life has drastically reduced by 50%. Previously, I was able to get 2 whole days plus a little bit out of a charge, and now I must plug the phone in every day. I know the cause is Android 11 as the change was immediate after the update and the phone is only a few months old. Any help would be greatly appreciated and have a great day.
Yes there is. Go to the restore factory post.

[Q] Yet another battery issue thread. But, this one's a "different" problem. No joke.
Hello Everyone,
I know I know... You're too tired to read through another sad tale of a battery issue. But, this one's weird. It shouldn't be happening, but is happening. I desperately desperately desperately need help solving this.
I own a Galaxy S2 i9100 (bought in July 2011, with Android 2.3.3 installed).
With 2.3.3 on the phone, I could manage getting juice for 24-26 hours.
I recently upgraded Android via Samsung Kies to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, and the battery life immediately tanked. I tested it for a week, and there was no improvement. That's when a friend of mine gave me the ICS 4.0.4 tar file that he managed to copy (from the temp folder in Windows) while upgrading his S2 via Kies.
I thought ICS would solve the battery woes, but it's only marginally better than JB. So, the battery life that I get out of my phone still sucks A LOT. The build I have on my phone is IMM76D.XWLPW. When I use the phone's display, play music, or am on a call, or have the GPRS on, the battery drains drastically. The stand-by time is pretty decent though.
Here's the most recent-est stat: I played music for 1 hour 10 minutes, had about 15 pings exchanged on WhatsApp, and the battery had tanked 14% in that much time.
I badly need this issue sorted. Otherwise, using apps like WhatsApp & Facebook (where people are constantly buzzing me every few minutes) will cause my phone to run out of juice every 6 hours. I used to use these apps (and pretty frequently) when I had Android 2.3.3 and the phone would manage to last 24-26 hours.
What could be the solution?
First thing, if you're still using the battery that came with the phone, replace it. Whether you got 143 hr on GB is irrelevant, a two year old battery is going to fail sooner or later.
Second thing, there is no easy solution (at least not one that doesn't involve messing with your phone, and even then you may not find one). If GB was so good for you, why not go back to it ? Get the GB rom you were running from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin. Done (And don't accept any future OTA updates).
If you want to stay with ICS or JB, search for the BetterBatteryStats thread here, install the app & allow it to run while you use your phone 'normally' for a day or so. Then post logs/etc to the BBS thread; people who post there regularly should be able to help you work out what's causing drain & if anything can be done about it.
Android 4.0.4 ? Oh, dude...you are lucky you haven't done a factory reset.Immediately flash ICS 4.0.3 or JB! You have 100% eMMC brickbug.Look at my signature and flash JB 4.1.2. eMMC bug + factory reset from recovery = phone dead forever.Follow my guide exactly and flash JB and root it !Then flash Apolo kernel for extreme bttery life.
I've been stock rooted for several weeks now & have noticed that the phone isn't quite as fast as it was stock. It's not as responsive at times & even worse I've noticed the battery life has decreased. Before I rooted I could easily get a solid 12 hours & now I get 8 to 10. Last night I went to sleep & my phone was at 72% & when I woke up today it was at 12 which is horrible standby time.
This is the 3rd HTC I've rooted & I've never had an issue like this before. I haven't had a chance to go S-Off yet. Any idea on what it could be? Any suggestions on what I could do to improve the performance back to what it was?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure from what you have said what the cause is. I just know that I have used all of the different roms for this phone (I'm on Verizon) and never had any battery drain like that. Maybe a factory reset and watch what 3rd party apps you re-install? One (or more) may be causing the drain.
I am running Android 6.0 Marshmallow on my Nexus 9 build number MRA58N. Device is not rooted but the bootloader has been unlocked and I am running everything on stock. Clean fresh install about 5 days ago. I did face some trouble trying to root my tablet at first (boot loop) but instead I formatted and just reflashed the firmware clean using (flash-all).
First few days, performance was below average, lag here and there but it was acceptable and it did go away after a day or so. Could be the tablet adjusting and syncing with the recently installed apps.
What I did find unusual though was the battery stats. It showed numbers (99013, 99023, 99033) processes which I am unfamiliar of. I tried googling it and searching on the xda forums about this but have not found any post on this. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is something wrong with my device? It could be the culprit to the overheating and battery drain.
(still trying to find out how to upload the screenshot, if anyone could help out with this, it would be much appreciated. PS: xda says that I have to make at least 10 posts before I can share external links, so I don't know how to make imageshack work here. Or I'll just make the 10 posts somehow.)

I've seen those numbers before, however not sure what they are either.
What type of battery are you seeing.
When I was on stock mra58n I was seeing around 4-5 hours screen on time and about 4-5 days overall time on. I thought that was pretty good. I only lose about 1-3% overnight so I could let it sit for quite awhile untouched and still have a charge.
I am now on PureNexus Android 6.0 ROM and seeing about the same but slightly better battery. I'm seeing 5.5-6 hours screen on time and 6-7 days overall time on.
This is with ElementalX kernel which I highly suggest.
How long have you had the tablet? I just got it on the HTC 40% of sale.
I recently have been having the same problem, as seen here: imgur DOTCOM /a/IMqFW, you can see the "99006" active, right now another has appeared with "99040". I saw these number a week or two ago. I've had my tablet since may or so. I posted on the reddit r/Nexus9 for help, someone suggested that it might be some sort of old application which left a few things behind when it was removed from the device. I don't really know what to think of this.
Hi,
I also observed a drastic battery drain and going to the "battery" section in settings, i found a weird "99040" thing with a black android robot icon, draining 16% of my battery.
I don't know how to remove this and I suspect this is malware or something related.
Does anyone know how I can remove that sh**** ???
Best regards.
Ever since Samsung carrier specific phones have been becoming increasingly more difficult to root, the very first thing I do on my last 3 or 4 Samsung phones is get the package disabler to prevent any updates and notifications for updates. In hopes of getting root/custom recovery or maybe even magically unlock the bootloader asap, and don't want to accidentally download a patch the could prevent me from having the option. I am still running N950USQU1AQH7. I was wondering anyones opinions on weather or not I should just cave in finally now and accept that I won't be able to ever run root/xposed in the future of this phone.
I know we have that 80% battery root option, but I really would use that for Titanium Backup and possibly Greenify. Plus the 80 percent thing would drive my OCD nuts, even if if there is a visual only fix.
So I guess I'm asking, are there any significant benefits to finally updating my phone/firmware/moving on to 8.0? Or do you think there still may be a shred of hope for me?
I'm not really having any issues with my phone except for the bloatwares/Bixby junk I have disabled already.
hows your battery life so far??? I feel like oreo has made the battery drain quicker, but at the same time I have am a heavy user. I do alot of recording and editing on my device and I factory reset after updates. I remember when it would report 40 hrs of battery life, now I get 18 hrs.
I know its only a year old, but kind of a quick drop for a phone that was released at 1k
Insane battery drain. Any more info needed HMU.
Your Phone's battery drained 7% in 33 min screen on. I think its normal.
Its not normal for me
Did you upgrade to Android 13 One UI 5?
I know that since I installed Android 13 OneUI 5, my battery has been draining faster when in standby. Prior to the update, after sleeping for 6 hours my battery drain was between 4 to 5 %. Now it drains more than 10%. I factory reset after I installed the update.

Yes I did update to one ui 5 but I've factory reset it multiple times after following countless battery saving steps and they seemed to have helped a bit but still not as much.
Now I actually have more of a problem with when the phones on its draining fast on my other phone I was using Spotify, WhatsApp, insta and a load more and it wasn't draining my battery as much as it is on this phone I can bearly get a full day with spotify playing music to my Bluetooth headphones, me texting people on WhatsApp, maybe slight gaming, and calling on WhatsApp drains it and that's another compared to my old phone plz help or at least give me your thoughts. Thank you.

Sorry for the late response. Like you I have factory reset several times. I have slimmed down the phone as much as possible of extra stuff (Samsung apps/services that I find useless through ADB) and I have seen slight improvement.
Searching online, it seems that quite a few galaxy device models (S21/S21FE) have reported similar issues. Even the Pixel line has some similar battery issues. I hope that Google and Samsung can release updates to address the problems soon.
Well, android 13 battery drain is because google implemented more "ad targeting system apps" that guess what.....those are harvesting more data from you USING YOUR BATTERY, YOUR CPU, YOUR STORAGE AND YOUR PHONE INTERNET BANDWIDTH. ....one of them is even about their new "topics" ad targeting system....
I cant remember the names but my S21 5G got a bootloop when I disabled all that crapb (google's way to force you to keep them) so I had to return to android 12 to disable the ones there and not get a bootloop. Just return to androod 12 as I did and disable the samsung update apps to avoid being forced to update to 13
Well...I can't believe I actually figured out my battery drain issue and it is stupid.
I noted that I was draining up to 3% or more an hour while sleeping. For 6 weeks I have been trying to figure this out. I suddenly realized Monday that I was seeing around 1% an hour battery drain at work during times I was not using my phone. The only thing different between work and home is that I have wifi turned off at work. Started messing around with some stuff that was wifi related and the issue turned out to be Wifi Calling. It would act crazy when I went into airplane mode then turned off airplane mode. I turned off Wifi Calling on Monday and my battery life is looking great ever since. It is still slightly more drain than android 12 but not enough to qualm over.
Don't know if it is connected to any of your issues, but worth a look. Luckily I get good enough signal at home that wifi calling is not really a concern at this time. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates but if not I want shed a tear.

That's unfortunate. It also seems like for those few who do find a solution, it is all different
Ya I upgraded to Android 13 one UI 5, This issue was after updating to Android 13 .I tried factory resets and wiping cache etc .

Dude, that is because Android 13 is full of Adware by google and the new topics system.....and if you try to disable it... you get bootloop.... I returned to android 12 with Odin and disabled samsung update apps and the lesser google adware it has to avoid that problem

TBH...once I figured out that wifi calling was creating my serious battery drain and turned it off, my battery life is very close if not on point with Android 12. But I have leaned my samsung phone down by uninstalling a whole lot of stuff so I would think that it should be slightly better so I can see your point.
