A few months ago I noticed that when the phone got to 15% the screen would start coming on and it would say "failed to read fingerprint" over and over, killing the battery in seconds despite me not touching the phone. And now it happens under 40%. I contacted OP through chat and they suggested that I boot into recovery and wipe the cache. Im wondering if removing the fingerprint unlock will also help but does anyome else have ideas?
Edit: Android 11 build Oxygen OS 11.BE86AA rooted with Magisk.
I clear the system cache on my Note 10+ as needed or about once a month. Harmless.
It's the only way to resolve some issues, easily.
If your SOT has inexplicably suddenly dropped or gone below 80% of what it was originally your battery may have failed or be degraded.
Any swelling is a failure.
Li's can fail at any time, sometimes rapidly.

I am having a huge battery drain problem since this morning. I didn't install anything new, but have been seeing this "Download will start when connected to a Wi-Fi network" message in the notification bar since this morning. I unplugged at 8:00am at 100% charge. It is 3:00pm now, and the battery is at 34%
I am running gingerblur, so didn't update the phone when it prompted me early this morning.
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Edit: Looking at the phone usage, I see Time spent without sleeping : 7 hours ??? The display does turn off, but looks like the phone does not go to sleep. It is 3:05 pm and the battery is at 30%....
Exact same issue here

I've been playing a lot of N64oid but my battery has drained way faster than it normally does. Granted, I haven't had it too long but the first couple of charges were breathtaking. Now I'm draining much quicker than usual despite the update being advertised as making the battery last longer...
I had the same problem. Owned the **** out of my battery. I finally just said what the hell and installed the update. My guess is its continually polling for wi-fi.
I had the same issue when I did flash. I did another fresh flash and it fixed the issue. I think when flashing the sbf something messed up.
Im at 14 hours now and 20% left. I streamed pandora a good 4-5 hours at work also.

Same here, since OTA update to 1.84.110.3.
Hi there folks, yes i'm noob, i tried to search for a similar situation but i would apreciate another opinion since i'm observing my phone and i can't understand at all. Everything started when i was on 4.0.3 stock branded and my batteriy suffered of instant drain, random reebot and stuff, i decided to move to Cyano9 but the situation was the same and so here i am on a 4.0.3 stock italian after a deep clean. The problems persist and it's get annoying. i noticed that the phone shut down mostly when i'm using it (browsing internet, downloading stuff..), in the last few hours twice while downloading from play store, and once when playing a game, and after the shut down i have problems in restarting it; when i manage to power on (sometimes recharger is needed) the battery ha 30/40/50% lower charge. First I think it was a rom problem (cyano9), but now problems won't end, the fact that the phone reboot when i'm using it does indicate that there is still a software problem or maybe it's just the battery that can't handle anymore? i have this phone since last year and previously I've noticed a general lower charge. I hope it's not an "internal" problem, i can buy another battery, but not another phone! I've tried to recalibrate several times, two or tree time waiting for total loss of percentage and recharging it for 4 hours, using recalibration tool from Google play, as i recall a wipe battery... from clockwork, but now my cell is not rooted.

Hey guys! I want some advice to check if this problem is normal or maybe its a manufacturer defect.
Anyway, I bought this phone about 5 days ago, and in the time I've been using it, my battery lasts about 7 or 6 hours (also it takes like 5 hours to fully charge it, which makes it worse). I thought it was because the stock ROM isn't very optimized, but later I started using cm 12.1 and it seems to last almost the same. Also, I started using an app called "current widget" that checks continuosly some info like the mA that is using at the moment, and I found that when I use it, it's mA is between 500 and 600, and sometimes it's like 180. Is this normal?
I'm worried because I've read in reviews that the battery of this phone lasts about a day and half and mine barely lasts 7 hours. Please, help...
Mine will last for 2-3 days if left alone. I'd download an app or CPU monitor to see what's running and draining the battery.
I repaired it already ^^ I just flashed official firmware again and no more battery draining and heating.
Battery draining could be many things but usually comes down to rogue processes.
Since android is java based over C, it becomes a garbage collector. Be sure to clean your device frequently to avoid internal confusion.
If a simple cleanup doesn't work, you can try to remove processes from loading at boot.
I honestly think that a reflash of your ROM is a bit extreme for a battery draining problem. I would try to exhaust every other avenue first.
I know, but I even tried disabling apps and it stayed like that. Also I flashed other roms and the problem didn't stop. I was going to claim my warranty and that's why I flashed everything again and somehow that solved it. I suppose my carrier modified the software somehow and that's why my phone had that problem.
Put your phone in airplane mode when you aren't using it. See if the battery drain persists. How is your signal? If your phone has a low signal, it will actually boost its radiation to try and keep the signal or establish a stronger one. This only is a battery killer and an issue that cannot be fixed by any software/firmware update that I've ever heard of.
If what I suggest seems to be true, airplane mode will be your friend. Or at least turn off data while not using it.
Good luck!
So I bought this tablet a couple of months ago and was always amazed by its battery. I could leave the tablet on for days and days that the battery would hold without any problems.
Suddenly and out of nowhere, I started to notice battery drain while the tablet is idle. I would charge it at night and next morning I would have less 30%, something that never happened before. This with Wi-Fi off and pretty much everything else. I know there's always consumption but these numbers don't make any sense.
Recently 7.0 came out, I decided to give it a shot to see if it would fix it. Did nothing, tablet is exactly the same. After installing the new OS version, wiping data and cache, disabling all the unnecessary features I could think of.
Also tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 and the problem is still here. Since nothing helped right now im back to 7.0. I have no apps other than the stock ones and I'm running out of ideas here.
Mine too, on 7.1.2 Nougat custom ROM drain like hell even if the tablet it's shutting down, charged at 100 % in the evening and in the morning after boot remaining only 75 %.
Clean install with wipe and everything !
I don't know what's causing this behaviour !
Haven't been here in a while, sorry.
I tried everything and since nothing fixed it, I contacted the store and used the warranty, they sent me a new one. Apparently it's a known problem and they were very quick stating that it couldn't be fixed.
Maybe you should try the same, if you haven't already..
Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted but this is quite a serious issue and could some guidance. A few weeks ago, I finally updated my Galaxy S9+ to Android 10 after being on 8.0 for so long and it's been a decent update so far. I had gripes with SoT not being the greatest but it was tolerable. Last night, I received an update for my phone and I installed it. Didn't think too much of it and continued on. I charged from my phone to ~87% today, used it lightly while working. By the end of my shift, I had 50% left.
I left the house to go for a 81 minute walk with 47%. I usually don't worry about having enough juice to make it back home but I experienced the worst battery drain I've had with this device so far. During my 90 min walk I:
listened to Spotify using my Galaxy Buds (one ended up dying towards the end because I forgot to charge them)
Checked Instagram occasionally and responded to some texts
Took 2 pics in Snapchat
Had a short video call on Messenger
It was right after the video call I noticed my battery was at 17%, which I thought was very strange. I don't leave apps running in the background for long and I have a habit of closing them out when not actively using them and I noticed the battery kept on draining despite there being no apps open besides Spotify.
Turned on the medium power saving and within a few minutes, I was at 5%. Decided to kill everything and pit my device on max power saving mode for the first time since I've owned the device. By the time I was home, my phone was at 1%.
I'm really baffled at how the battery drained at an exponential rate. I'm a medium user and I've had this phone since late 2018. Never leave location services on, never used AOD, and used the FHD display instead of QHD along with dark mode.
I'm hoping today was just an outlier as I want to keep this phone for another 2 years, but if this happens on a consistent basis I'm gonna have to start searching for a new device.
In the meantime, I have charged my phone to a 100% and disconnected the phone and observed the following:
Within 2 minutes of disconnecting, battery went from 100 - 98%. Not a good sign considering it was just idling
The battery continue to drain every other minute and I could see the battery go down on each unlock
Wiped the cache partition and I went from 93 to 94% for a brief moment prior to the phone going back to the same pattern
This is very worrisome to me as I don't believe the phone will last until midnight, I'm wondering if it's possible to roll back to the previous update.
TL;DR - After the update yesterday, the battery drained at an exponential rate despite light to medium usage
Also, here's some screenshots of my battery usage

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but all I can do is suggest changing the battery and doing a full, stock firmware flash via Odin to completely wipe your phone.
I recently replaced my phone's battery and did flash the firmware and my battery is really hanging in there. My battery was also 2 years old and before, I would get about 3h SOT when I play a game (and I do a lot). Now, I'm getting 5h SOT no problem with about 2-3h gaming included, so I really do suggest a battery change. I'm thinking you could be able to squeeze another 1 or 2 years into this amazing phone.

How hard was it to remove the battery? I bought one but unfortunately also a toolkit which seems to be only for iphone, what screw size has the s9+?
